SPOILER ALERT - NARUTO CHAPTER 437

oH sick sick sick sick sick!!!!! My gosh. I so cant believe my eyes. They skipped the transformation of the 5th tail and jumped straight to the 6th tail!!!! oooohhh! (On a side note, this latest transformation looks like a hollow transformation in the bleach series, LOL). So naruto is now in 6 tails form!!! Oh Oh Oh, and the manga-fied confession of long hidden love that hinata has for naruto, this is all so sudden. My gosh... my gosh... this is one powerpacked chapter. I'm lovin this series all over again. haha!

On a sad note however, the author for 'One Piece' is taking a break. I'm like trying to decipher as much as i can. Another powerful arch awaits. Ho HO Ho. And my my my my my, Bleach is also getting interesting.

Oooh, don't your just love mangas! haha

Bon Voyage my Brother

Alrights, I finally got my butt down on the chair to type out this post. I've been rather reluctant to post because I've been doing alot of running here and there, packing here and there, and finally its almost night and I've got enough time to blog.

So, Daniel Li left in Singapore to further his studies in Law in Australia. The date was 15 Feb 2009. Time was - Dinner Time.

Here is Jon Lim, briefing Daniel Li about what to do in a bomb threat. We had a mini rehearsal after that. First, we are supposed to shout, "BOMB BOMB BOMB!". Secondly, we are supposed to dismantle the bomb by untying the yellow ribbon (yes, bombs now a days come with yellow ribbons, instead of the traditional visible 3-coloured wires which you are supposed to tikam to cut). Afterwhich, we will all realise that there is indeed the 3 different coloured wire inside. Next, take out a jack knife, and cut the purple coloured wire. If all fails, inform the police. Call 999.

Here is daniel, grateful to us for going through the whole bomb-diffusing routine with him. amongst those within this photo are the Police Bomb disposal squad, all dressed in solemn black. Yes, Aunty Cindy's the squad head.


Bomb Handling Over/Taking Over. James was the witnessing. LOL. Now let me explain this. This photo was supposed to be taken with all the guys borned in 1988. However, we needed an excuse as to why James is appearing so short that everyone has to bend down, so we recruited Tim Ong to appear to press James downwards. ya.


Daniel, trying to be popular with the gals. :P

Dont both jons look like conjoined twins? LOL

Hammock Night(20 Feb~21 Feb)

And so, cos we are ORDinary male citizens, we've decided to have a men's night out. (Men becos boys become men after BMT, according to what is being said at the ferry terminal at Tekong, LOL). How were we going to do it? Ironically, it through doing things which can be found rampant in the army - Hammock and Messtin cooking @ East Coast Park.

Here is me, being the most excellent chef of the night, with my portable bunsen burner. At this point in this, i should be starting to cook the Sharkfin soup. We managed to fish up a Great White Shark which was about 10m long. However, the Great White we caught(lets call him Larry) told us that due to the recent economical downturn, Singaporeans no longer throw half-eaten burgers into the sea. Instead, they only throw the boxes. Therefore, Larry, being cold, hungry and lonely, did not have much of a fin left, even though he was 10m long. So, we pitied it and only cut a quarter of his fin, while supplimenting the rest of the soup with Harry, the crab Sri Lankan crab we caught earlier in the morning.

Chees Lagsania with Scallop. Totally Delicious.

Yeah, this is me, enjoying the cool morning before the sun woke me up by shinning on my backside. Hot sia. Apparently, Taiyong took this photo when he got woken up by my pre-set alarm(8am!) when i forgot to switch it off before dozing off. No prizes for guessing, the alarm system went something like this; Alarm wakes Taiyong> Taiyong and Jeshua attempted to wake me> all attemps failed becos non of them are hardworking enough to get off their own hammocks. haha

Ah, what an artistic shot. Can only be taken by one person; ME! lol. I woke up in the end while the other 2 enjoyed the comfort of their hammock. Lazy right? haha!

Another proof of lazing ard. i gotta say we deserved this though, becos of our trying 1 year 10 mths serving the nation, we should enjoy the fruits of our protection.

Notice how funnily Jeshua is sleeping? Actually, he is practicing the One-Shoulder-Gongfu. By sleeping with one shoulder off the hammock, it will build up stomach muscles because you have to balance in your sleep. This in turns strengthens your whole upper body.

Another Artistic shot by the multi talented camera man. I wonder who. LOL. there was only me, Taiyong and jeshua by the way. If its not Taiyong and Jeshua, who is the odd one out i wonder...

My bro and Joseph dropped by at night for resup. Actually, the food i cooked was the instant noodles, minced sausages, and a cheesy egg sausage. So, there was no Larry, nor was there Harry.haha. Regret to say that we should have gone earlier in the day so we can submerge our whole day in the Word, but Jeshua had to work... JESHUA!!! haha

Okays, thats it for the latest update.

Oh, happy birthday to Wendy Tan Zhao Rong, but more importantly than your birthday, pls plan the next meeting up date!

Weekend Trekking

Spent the Valentine's day morning trekking. Ok, before you get any idea that this is a love triangle/ square/ pentagon/ hexagon/ octogon.... WRONG. The reason and sole sole reason why its on the 14th of Feb is its a saturday, and also the day before Daniel Li leave us to go down under for a study of Law lasting 7 years. So you see, Daniel Li was supposed to join us, but as you can see in all the pictures below, he is nowhere to be found. Nope he was not hiding, but rather he last minutely send me a msg that he needs the extra time to do packing. Anyhow, since the trek was planned, it had to go on.

After walking through dense vegetation, chasing a wild boar, getting chased back by the wild boar's mom, we finally arrive at Pulau Ubin. Yes, Ubin is the piece of island which all of us are pointing to.

Ok, that was crap. We are nowhere near Ubin. The reason why i took this photo was to prove that Taiyong was there at the 3km mark into our Macritchie-Bukit Timah trek.

All of them, waiting for the monkeys to deliver their respective lunch boxes. Nah.

The HSBC Tree Top walk.

Fun Facts and figures for the HSBC Tree Top Walk. Now, let me tell you the most important fact that might not be on this board; DO NOT ever go to the tree top walk on a monday, because you will only find that the walk is closed. I learnt it the hard way when i went for recce once.

Now everyone, turn 180 degrees and shake your bums as you go the same way down down down down down....

Saw our good friend over there, so we decided to take a photo of him. Pity Daniel Li's not here to take photo with him.

The HSBS Tree Top Walk. Now, dosent this remind you of a bible verse;

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." - Matthew 7:13~14

"Alright now! The VJC Representative had finally reached Mount HSBS Tree Top Walk! She is the 7,653,412,768,711,291 person to have ever reached such a height! Bravo!"

I was pondering over this photo. Yes it does reminds me of my brother Aaron. Me think its the hair. Yeah man, its either my brother has long hair, or Jaslyn has really short hair.

Alright, it would be fun to know that this photo almost did not happen. Jaslyn msged me late in the night prior to this that she would not be coming along (meaning she was going to pangseh us/aka leave us in the lurch). However, my Sony Eriksson W950i ran out of msg storage space and hence could not receive her msg, which resulted in me giving her a really really early morning call which woke her up. Hie Hie, divine intervention to prevent Jaslyn's Laziness? LOL

Yvonne, can pls hurry up? James is blocking the elderly lady in yellow waiting to cross the bridge to the other side so that she can go and dig for diamonds.

This, is how SAF should do river crossing. So much easier.

We managed to cut some branches and made a railing so that the less agile could decend into the valley much easier. Took a whole 1 hr of our time. lol just joking.

At this point in time, Jaslyn and Yvonne gave us a short tutorial on Stick Fishing. First, you must sharpen your stick, then go to the edge of the water and stay absolutely still. Wait for a fish to swim past, then give a war cry which goes like "WrrraaAAaaahhhh!" so that the fish would be scared stiff and will stay absolutely still, before you finally aim at the fish and poke your sharpened stick through their body.

ok, just crapping. As if the fish would be dumb enough not to swim away. LOL

See, I knew it. Girl can do National Service too. Now Mr President, kindly include the females in the once in a lifetime voyage to the island called Tekong...

Conquered. Went to Bukit Timah Market to Eat thereafter.

The Carrot Cake was Good. Fantabulous. So to prevent the others from eating it, I pointed to the right and shouted, "Oh Look, its Barney the Purple Dinosaur!".

And this was what happened. They all turned and look away, and i got my change to gobble down the crunchy but tender carrot cake.

Now here we can totally see the example of the following phrase;

" The Food is always Tastier on the Other side",

which is a Singaporean adaptation of the following phrase;

"The Grass is always Greener on the Other side".

Personally, i thought that cheesy stuff like the one Yvonne is eating(thx James for introducing this stall) is very good, esp when it comes to eating with girls. Cheesy stuff makes them feel full very easy, so thats where the real sharing of food begins... ha ha ha

Just imagine how bad his food must have tasted. lol.

Actually, the food was great. Maybe james could not think of a better posture, or that this is his fav profile. haha.

I think that this had been one of the most eventful (and cheapest!) fun trips with church friends. Its a pity though we did not make it to the top of Bukit Timah, because i had to rush to return the vehicle to my dad. Of course, the commentator had been crapping around this post up till now, but not the last sentence regarding the vehicle. No joke.

Alright, it would be logical and worthy to thank God for the wonderful weather(the last time i did this trip for cohesion day in the army, it rained -_-!), the inspiration about the wonderful transport plan which God made used of James' Dad to convey to us, and also for favour with my dad to lend me the vehicle so that i can transport the 901237491 things which are required for the whole trip.

ORDinary citizen at last.

Hi dear Earthlings! you must be wonderring why my next post is already out so early. Thats because one week down the road, i might be trying to juggle between the 896172517 things i had been wanting to do but could not do so at the moment due to my national liabilities.

3 handsome dudes.

Alrighty. As you've might have noticed, i've tried my best to change my expression in every photo and wrecked my brains in the process of doing so. Also, i look rather fat in all my photos. Fret not, its a camera trick for some, while i intentionally widened up my body in some of the photos using special effect.
