Goodbye 2006, Hello 2007!!

alright, before the yr ends, u might just wanna do some reflections on some happenings this yr.. for me, this marked the end of my army life, entering a new phrase of civilian life once again. met someone special.. hopefully, it will go smoothly from this yr to the coming 2007. been thru quite a lot of ups n downs.

2006:
converted back to civilian.
made some costly mistakes.
widen my perceptions.
got my precious driving license.
nox's ONE year old.
made some good frens.
found someone special.
adapted myself to diff kinda lifestyles.
many more things to reflect on.. maybe i'll take some time tonight to think thru.

anyway.. wishing all of u who r reading this an advance Happy Year New 2007!! may it be a better year for everyone! =P

Merry Christmas.

bloggie... christmas was nice this year.. spent the christmas at the Changi Village Hotel.. its more like a 'local' holiday... the hotel was really nice and comfortable.. furnishings are of my likings.. it was relaxed celebration this time...no parties, countdown and all, just a simple, quiet night bringing us through christmas day at 12. and the weather was freakin cool on christmas eve.. took a stroll along the road and it was freezing cool.. for a moment i felt tt i was at genting highlands. i have to give the rooftop pool a miss cos the weather is simply too cool. no pictures taken so i can only describe using words.

anyway it was a nice christmas. had a christmas gathering with eric and mike, together with some friends. it was pretty enjoyable just tt im pretty tired having two celebrations/events one after another. n i have to thank eric's mum for preparing the steamboat, really appreciated her great help.

Big mistake

bloggie.. its normal for human to make mistakes... everyone learns from mistake... but this mistake i made came with a high price... how can i ever allow myself to make such a mistake?? yes i agree.. im naive... now i have to pay dearly for the mistake, affecting my life.. bloggie.. i realised my mistake but its all too late.

update.

alright... actually nth much to update.. my face is progressin slow.. so slow till i almost fainted..

work's pretty much the same.. still undergoin training.. its just like schooling.. just tt we have long studying hours throughout the whole 5 days week..

attended a fren's fashion show.. its was a new experience but somewhat i tot i was feeling a little bored.. probably becos im pretty much a practical person.. so those 'outstanding' outfits seem impractical for me... oh well.. but i pretty much enjoy my fren's masterpieces.. probably becos its MY FREN.. =P

dating wise, we r goin on pretty much fine... slow n smooth.. the dogs tt came in brought in more discussions.. haha.. im thankful he's a dog lover too.. =)

gosh.. haven been meetin mike n eric for a long time.. our schedules just cant compliment each other.. let's hope we can meet real soon...

long entry

phew.. finally found e time to blog.. alright.. last week was a hectic week.. did i tell u tt ive spent one whole day to clear my bookshelf?? gosh.. i have to clear so much thing to make space for my future education.. threw away all e past textbooks which i very much wanted to keep.. found a lot of things tt doesnt belong to me?? like bags which belong to my mum?? n i realised i have so much presents tt r in their boxes frm the day i received them.. i appreciate them but they r of no use to me.. like wind chimes, towel hangers, couple of cups, bottles, those ornaments!! i have so many of them but i dun display ornaments cos they collect dust.. -_- anyway, ive packed them nicely, hopefully they will be of use next time.

im working now.. currently undergoin training.. training is alright, just lots of content being fed to our brain storage system.. 9-5. reminds me of a long day in sch few yrs back.. n thr's a test!!! =(

yes i dyed my hair.. n i look like golden monkey now.. it didnt turn out to be the colour i want.. its too bright n i will only look nice with a tan.. yes i went swimming on sat but it has be quite cloudy these days.. didnt want to dye so soon cos my hair is so freaking dry now.. n i suspect i have chose bleach instead w/o knowin it.. gosh.. fatal mistake!

oh.. im officially a CIVILIAN now!! collect my pink ic on friday.. trust me..it wasnt easy at all.. it took me lots of hassle to get it.. but its all wortth!!

tt's all for now!!

Nox seems to be very excited bout it.. he always stay close to the hammies cage.. pounce n pounce ard the hammies... at times he'll just lie down next to the cage, like a brother.. watching over them.. the scene is pretty cute.. lettin the hammies out to play with nox?? hahah.. not too sure about tt.. u will nv noe wad will happen.. plus.. its my bro's pet.. so ya.. better not try anything funny..

next, went for an interview yesterday n got the job.. phew.. startin work in dec.. the pay is pretty alright.. and doesnt require to be at the 'front line' so ya.. its suitable for me given the current situation of my face.. n dom's working there too.. i supposed my college acquaintances got employed too.. so i wont be too lonely thr..yeap yeap..

Car Shopping!!

bloggie... finally got a chance to visit the car showrooms... my aunt was considerin changing her car so she asked if i wanted to go n i just tagged along with her... her fren just bought a Toyota Wish today after a mth of consideration.. my aunt was considering a car simliar to Wish due to the large storage space... anyway we were lookin at Honda Airwave n find it pretty suitable for us... reviews on it frm a fren was pretty good so we were like considering it??

anyway.. we also viewed Toyota Corolla for 2007... NOPE, its not Altis... its another type... but the diff is tt unlike current Altis tt r frm Thailand, this Corolla is frm Japan... its has a pretty cool feature though.. it has this reverse camera which allows u to view the back while reversing on tis touch screen mp3 player... so cool rite?? but the draw back is tt this car tt we saw doesnt have lotsa interior design/features as compared to my aunt's current Corolla... we both agreed tt thr's no pt changin to tt becos we find the current car nicer n comfortable and the size is of not much of a difference.. plus both cars r frm Japan... so performance wise shld be the same...

thr's also another interesting Toyota car.. i tink its a MPV... has tis very cool door... u just need to pull the handle, n the door just slides back automatically.. and thr's no barrier btw the front n back door.. (u get wad i mean??) the front n back doors meet each other w/o a barrier... anyway.. its not suitable for us due to the costs involved...

not forgettin thr's tis interestin Honda car which allows 3 pple to sit in the front.. yes.. its 3 pple.. so interesting.. like sitting in a van or lorry... anyway.. we r not considerin tt either cos we find it too weird for us... lolx...

oh well.. gotta go back again to check some details for my aunt.. btw its HER carr not mine.. just tt i get to drive her car.. but its up to her to decide... seriously, i wouldnt noe wad to do if i were her given tis current situation n all... to buy or not to buy?? lolx..

pls leave comments behind if u noe any reviews on honda airwave or any simliar cars ya.. thanks!!

Syrian Hamsters.

my bro bought a pair of long fur syrian hamsters back home 2 days ago.. i was like -_-''' probably its just the teens 'thing', they just wan to have ownership of something... when i was young i used to crave for a pet as well.. had fishes, almost got a hamster but my mum had to wreck it... anyway those were the days.. now tt i have Nox, i understand rearing pets its not as simple as ABC.. and apparantly my bro doesnt understand my point.. he bought back the hamsters w/o studyin into them.. everything unprepared.. and not forgettin the fact tt he made me his accomplice by bringin these fellas back w/o my parents knowing till now!! >_<

Nox, being a terrier, comes from a rats n rodents hunting background.. we had no choice but to isolate the 2 pets... okay i guess Nox was gettin a little bit jealous when he felt being neglected by my bro and i.. esp when he cant come out n play cos my bro was handling his beloved hamsters... of cos, he rebelled by pooing n peeing in his playpen in front of me, and the pee landed ON MY LEGS!!!!!!!

and bloggie, did i tell u i simply hate detoxing !!!

HDB Tai Tai.

watched hdb tai tai tis evening on channel 8. a pretty hilarious show with kym ng tryin to 'uphold' her tai tai status while chen li ping was a typical hdb housewife. both were spendin days exploring tai tai's life in e neighbourhood... informative n humourous... too bad it fouses on tai tai so apart frm food, the things they recommend r pretty much irrelevant to me.. nonetheless, i nv fail to laugh everytime i watch tis show... lolx... esp the preview of their NGs...funny.
