Running a high fever at 39.8 , quite sad that couldn’t join them for POP. =(
November 21, 2009
NS is all about working smart. When to chao keng and when not to. But when it comes to IPPT, i run with my life just to get a sliver and to book out on Friday.
Its been around a month plus in NS, first few weeks were just like enjoying and playing around, not to worry whats gonna happen next. But recently, I started thinking what should I do exactly to make my NS life enjoyable. I do not want to enter command school cause its miserable going through all those shit again and maybe 2x the shit. and I missed acting =( Just praying hard that my recommendation letter come fast!
Time really flies, many of our time, we kept repeating it over and over again. How fast the earth is moving and how fast people are growing. I was thinking when was the last time we went out ?
” There are too many sad things in life but don’t move away from the happy ones “, I saw this while I was peeing in the toilet in tekong. Thinking back about the happy times, I do have happy times with ni.

Actually I’m appreciating what comes in my way and the truth is that, the reality is always ugly. In a game, you can farm all you need to get the result and in life, you have work hard for what you want, but if you don’t get it, at least we tried.
Its been like a month in NS. By right, I should have change my perspective in life, thinking about something more realistic in future. But, it doesn’t seems that way. I’m still the old me, striving hard for what I wanted. One thing for sure, NS refined my personality. It shows me the way of healthy lifestyle.
Turning in at 2230 and waking up at 0530, drinking water like I’ve never drank so much before in my life and cleaning up the bunk which my house is not even DUST-FREE. Chiong everywhere we are. You chiong when you go back bunk, chiong when falling in, chiong for breakfast, chiong to shower, chiong to sleep, even when you book out, you have to chiong to the ferry terminal. Only time when we don’t chiong is Half left ready!
But well, BMT is still fun and enjoyable cause of the nice people around.
I missed travelling already!
and I realised I haven post about the 2nd part of korea yet!!

NS fucked up my life =(
October 24, 2009
3 weeks into BMT.. Its fun yet quite mentally challenge for me. Weekends are especially short!!! and the next moment before you know, your doing jumping jets.
Blogging about NS life is NOT allowed but when there were SOOO SOOO SOOO many things going on, how can!? But well, I’m just trying to save my ass.
Then again, what vocation I wanna go? I wonder if my perspective changes? If I’m able to get the recommandation letter, I’ll go MDC. If there is a 100% route to 8-5, I’ll go MP. If not, see fate.
Lets watch a movie someday =)
October 5, 2009
Today was the last day that I fixed my hair.
Gonna enlist tomorrow and really quite excited about it. was making checklist earlier on, just like the times when I travel overseas. This time round, its another trip, a 11 days trip. A trip that gives you money, give you muscles and free food. A trip that I had to put down many things. I’ll be back with stories.
I’m ready.

Just came back from a wedding dinner and was wondering how would mine be? Haha, long way though… It was like few days ago when I felt the tremor at home. Its the 2nd time that I felt it but its longer and I could actually sense the moving of the marine clay below.. As I was reading the newspaper the following day, I saw this big topic saying ” SINGAPOREAN BLISSFULLY BOCHAP ABOUT THE TREMOR “. why why why!! People are evacuating themselves from the disasters to save that precious life theirs. AND if you did watched the news that day, this video was played on the news.
SEE HOW HAPPY HE WAS!!! DI ZHENG AH DI ZHENG AH!!!
Was wondering that the 2012 thing, will it be real?
Just only a week!! A sandstorm, 2 earthquakes resulted in Tsunami..
September 21, 2009
So actually I did nothing last week besides resting. I realised how fast the clock was ticking. Next, going to ns and then I’ll have no time for many things, especially things that I love. =(
I’ve been sleeping really late these days and things are going in and out of me. Resulting in the constant bout of insomnia. Its like turning in at about 3am, feeling frustrated tossing around and how I wish I already woke up. I had about 3 times Big Breakfast last week and jogged 3 times last week and played uncountable number of games.
We caught Phobia 2 in the middle of the night with the old click . Wasn’t really up to expectation! Or perhaps I was expecting more… But I like Ter,Aey,Puak and Shin…
For the upcoming week, more events waiting I guess.
September 11, 2009
Thanks to the power failure this morning at 10am!! My lovely fan just went off suddenly and I woke up immediately feeling really warm! Call up my mum and trying ways to get back the power supply but it doesn’t seems to be working. Hackcare, bathe then headed down to get my MAC breakfast and the supply came back when I was home. Thanks man, making me having breakfast for once a week.
The previous time that I had breakfast was last friday when we went overnight Kbox. But also the last time with my loved ones before their ns. You know how much I love them… We went for 4 movies in 3 days Omg!! Of course, 3 of them were lousy. This season ain’t that much nice movies though.
Its just another crazy Hollywood film. Full of randomness. The strong comedian cast of Jack Black was like a recent comedy tradition which is definitely a plus to the movie. The new born young cast, Micheal Cera seems to me that he perform naturally on screen with the name, master of stutter and tragic-comic ellipsis. But, however, his rhythm seems to be the same in other films that he acted. Well, it doesn’t work for me.
Review on the female artistes : The girls in the movie are not really hot at all. Maybe for kids.
Not worth a weekend ticket.
How many watched a movie base on the producer ? A Peter Jackson’s film, how can we missed it. The great films of LOTR, King Kong ( Ken likes this ) already showed how amazing he was. Feauturing a first-time director, Neill Blomkamp who used to direct commercials and music videos. Also, the first-time actor, Sharito Copley who did a remarkable job at bringing the odd, yet sincere, Wikus to life. You could actually see his subtle humor disappearing throughout the film, withnessing the grown of a boy to a man. He was amazing, I could say.
Review on female artistes : Oops no girls at all.
and that was the only good movie I’ve watched out of the 4. LOL
its another movie that is slightly above average kind of romance genre that Hollywood has been providing. But I like the way Ryan Reynolds protray his sense of humor. What is lacking from the movie is a babe.
Review on female artistes : Even though Sandra Bullock had a ” covered ” naked scene, but it doesn’t seems to be attractive at all!
Another Scary Movie wannabe. All the dance movies could be found in it, Step up 2, High school musical and even Twilight which was really surprising! Its just bring you 2 hrs away from reality to relax. But don’t go for weekend tickets again. Haha..
Don’t even bother about reviewing on the girls..

10/8, Seoul
You know, before we leave for Korea, there are really important stuffs to take note of especially when Bings is not on the same flight as us. Therefore, these were really essential!!
Yea, you see now.. and of course it helps! The FIRST inn, Inndaewon, we stayed in. It’s more like a room of 4 double decker beds, which is really cozy and we met a jap there.
So before Bings’s arrival, we headed down to the cityhall area to take a walk. As we walked further, we got scam for like 3 times? for direction… You see, we do not know how to communicate and the only way was to use hand sign. For eg, we asked how to go Gyeongbokgung, and they point point point, so we walk walk walk. But walking seems to be nothing after some events later on.
Our very first meal there on the arrival of Bings.
Chicken FTW there.
11/8
Beef porridge (Solrongdang) as our breakfast. This is our new jap friend. At first we called him Katsu-don cause his real name is Katsunadee, which took us awhile to remember. and the thing is that he was VERY SLIPPERLY!! What I meant was, HE ALMOST FELL FOR LIKE 10 TIMES IN A DAY? So, after he left us, if we see puddles of water, we go
” EH DONT KATSUNADEE AH “
I think you really cannot imagine how much kimchi we ate over there. Not like once a day but once every meal and they just CHIONG you the whole tub.
Everything was red over there. Even our lunch.
Pork kimchi Stew. KIMCHI again you see.. -.- and then, not to mention. DINNER ALSO RED!
Dakgalbi
Worst thing, the Koreans thought we foreigner might not be able to take hot stuffs and we show them how good we were and let them withness the SINGAPOREAN KIASU SPIRIT.
Oh ya, they made us dress like this before our meal.
and as I was saying, today was all about food and indeed Yes.
A very nice place to chill, Twosome.
12/08, Daegu
Bid goodbye to Inndaewon early in the morning and headed to Daegu.
Moving around as Backpackers is really tough, feel so bulky and heavy all the time.. BUT, the best thing was, we save money on lodging and transport but sometimes its tired carrying that BAG.
DAEGU WITH MANY BAGS!
then we got into a minor problem here..
the motel that we planned to stay in was full/far, can’t remember. SO, we randomly stay in one of the motel nearby there and thats when things started to happen.
See how dirty it was. The lights in the toliet and alley were RED ( RED AGAIN )
Bings and me stayed together for 2 nights while, Eric was with Ryan. First night as we were roaming the channels, we came across the porn channel and the starcraft channel which were interesting.
the other one not convenient to upload ah. OK, Bings said ” I’m sleeping, turn off the TV later ” So, I continue watching the starcraft channel NOT the porn channel ah… and before I sleep, I turn it off using the remote and place it besides me.
13/08
Next morning he told me.
” Eh wah lao, yesterday ask u off the tv, you nv. Then the ‘uh uh uh’ sound was so loud that I have to get up at 4,5am and switch off the tv, watch porn right! “
But of course, I told him I didn’t watch and I still find it weird but perhaps I accidentally pressed the remote while I was sleeping though. So, we didn’t talk about it again for the day .
Today we headed to Haeinsa, the Unesco World Heritage temple and is also every visitor’s not-to-be-missed list ( from Lonely Planet ).
like even before we started at the temple, we must walk like ALOT? So I was saying earlier, walking seems to be nothing at all.
How can we left out praying there. Pray more = More jobs coming. haha
You see how tiring it was just to climb up the stairs. Not to say hike a mountain later on. JUST DON’T KATSUNADEE!
Ok, lets not waste time, lets hike up the mountain now.
They forgot to add. 3.3km VERTICAL!!! The route up the mountain was really CRAZY, no other better words. Especially when we were in improper attires and lack of water! It’s worst than going for the 2.4km napfa test.
Halfway up, the lack of water was so serious till I could hear noises behind.
” 10,000 won for water!! “
” I PAY 15,000 WON!! “
” AH DON’T KATSUNADEE AH “
Seriously, it’s really tough to explain how SHAG it was!
Well you see, this is what I called FULL PACK.
So, 1.5 hrs passed and we arrived at this board showing.
and when we thought we got SCAM, luckily there was another route up. and its worth it.. DEFINITELY WORTH IT FOR SURE GUYS!!!
and according to Man vs Wild, it is said that water flowing down from rocks are drinkable.
and this was like the HIGHEST I could go alr with the Legendary slipper they said. HIKE A MOUNTAIN WITH SLIPPER!! Record eh! Lucky never KATSUNADEE.
and then 2 hrs down again. Sian. But nevertheless, a good dinner to reward ourselves.
and they call this Eat-Meat.
BACK TO THE MOTEL, this night, we were both watching the Volleyball channel together. Bings didn’t sleep first. So before the 2 of us turn in together AT THE SAME TIME, Bings took the remote to switch it off and left it on the ground.
14/08, GyeongJu
Next morning, Bings woke up and told me immediately.
” Yesterday at 4,5am, I saw the Tv on the porn channel again. “
Time to say goodbye again to the weird motel. and HI to GyeongJu.
Our new place to stay for a night.
So for the 1 day in GyeongJu, we got ourselves a bike as GyeongJu was a small town and the beautiful places could be reached by cycling.
So we were.. at this Tumuli park.
for your info.. ALL this hill-like thing was actually tomb of those Kings, and it was protected by ninjas around.
So, after the lame Tumuli park which was full of hills,we headed to the next destination.
So we thought it would be a nicer place, but it seems like deja vu again.
HILLS AGAIN!! you know its pretty hard to find anything else to shoot except that.
and luckily, I’ve found some other stuffs to shoot at.
More hills, I meant tombs
This is where our competition starts. Rape flowers complex.
here it goes.. the participants…
Bings’s works
my works
and I realised mine sucks.. So after seeing Bing’s pic, I went to take another one.
HAHAHAHAHA!! DE JA VU AGAIN RIGHT
This is the National museum of GyeongJu, the place another scam took place.
Roaming around, we saw this buddhist-alike bell from far and we could hear the sound of the ” DONG, DONG “. We started crapping like..
” wah, Dong 1 time confirm must pay 3,000 won “
” Dong 3 times, free 1 Dong. “
As we were approaching the Bell, there were no sight of the wooden log thing.
but if you look closer.. and I meant really close.. You see this
THE ” DONG ” SOUND CAME OUT EVERY 10 SECONDS!!!!
SCAMMMMMMMMMMMMM
We moved on to Atapji pond… I think its called Anapji.. Whatever..
After all the sights seeing, the MUST-EAT food in Korea.
Bulgogi hot plate
Korean Gingseng Chicken
followed by a nice traditional performance at night..
Very tourist aint we?
