and so the long awaited movie, the davinci code.
it was greeeeeeeat! went with este and sue to the theatre at tiong bahru plaza. i knew the movie would be fun to watch and what better way to watch it with este and sue. it was always fun to discuss with them about religion. we seem to have the right frequencies when issues relating to religion were brought up.ahaha. frankly speaking, i was rather skeptical about how the movie would turn out as i've heard from reviews that the movie didn't do justice to the book(as usual). but after watching it,i thought it was worth every cent. though critics may have pointed out that the tremendous amount of facts and information were overwhelming, i thought the entire movie made the picture even more complete for the book itself. it was really good. should go check it out. yes, many may have debunked the book as one that is not supported by facts and that the author himself dan brown has written the book in such a way that it has blurred the distinction between fact and fiction, that the facts told were not true and bla bla. but i guess dan brown's objective for his book was to ultimately question about things that you will never try questioning. the story that was written may or may not be true, but it made many pause for a second, for a moment in time to ponder and reason out why some things are the way they are. however ultimately, as what robert langdon had said, its about what you believe in. you decide.
army stuff,boring stuff.
exercise grandslam was really a test of patience.
it really sucks especially when its in tekong. the only good thing that happened throughout the exercise was that it didn't rain. my morale was really way below the usual zero mark after each mission. to make matters worst, you have to put up with the naggings of the commanders as well as the disgusting combat rations and not forgetting the smell of the solid fuel that had diffused through the food and tissue packs in the accesories bag.i only survived on biscuits and whatever that was sweet for energy. by the third day, my body was so shagged out that i find sleeping for five seconds heavenly. oh yar, btw sleeping was kept to the minimum as they wanted us to remain one-third awake for the entire two nights to look out for enemy forces. like wad the crap, even the enemies would be tired.
be grateful
at lunch, my fren was complaining about how he already felt so full while halfway eating the 2 piece kfc chicken meal and that he definitely can't finish it. i told him to close his eyes and imagine that he's in tekong and right in front of him was the combat rations. guess wad he did immediately after he opened his eyes: he gobbled up his food and finished eveything in less than a minute.

if only the world could take the words of all miss universe winners seriously, "..we want world peace, we want world peace!", there won't be disputes, there won't be wars, there won't be a need to have military defence, there won't be national service and more importantly there won't be the enlistment act!argh.

wo pu yao tang ping.

wo yao hui jia!

this is what my chinese army buddies taught me to say when i wake up every morning at 0520hrs. the translated version:

i don't want to be in the army

i want to go home!

ocs is what i want!

Official Civillian Status! ahaha.

moving on, money.money.money.

the temptations of spending. why is it virtually impossible to save. i just can't bring myself to do it. i just can't. i need to do something about this. this situation is really getting out of control. think of a plan matin! think.think.think.actually, after pondering about it for 3 seconds, i realise that its all about resisting! something i'm really bad in.

girls.gals.

a friend of mine told me that the army has made him go bonkers. whenever he walked around in public, he finds that all the girls that he sees are super hot, drop dead gorgeous and to die for! as a matter of fact, i have to agree with him. everyone i see now seems to look better for some strange reason. it must be due to the high exposure of guys in the army. even sue and este, the people whom i always hang out with, i think they have changed a lot. i'm not sure if its just me or wad..but i find people around me are evolving at an alarming rate! oh no, this is bad. the army has affected me in every way possible!
