It was decent, not fab but its who u go with dat makes it fun rite~?
And it was a great bunch of frens who went.
Highlights include fishing, mahjonging,
More fishing and mahjonging...
Oh! did i mention Mahjong and fishing? =p

Not dat i'm complaining but i guess the concept of this hotboys kelong is more for ppl to layback and unwind.
Personally, I was suffering from the lack of internet.
2 DAYS without getting an online fix is like...ARHGHhghHGHHgh?!?!

ok... i admit it. I'm an internet junkie. But I'm sure alot of us were suffering from withdrawal symptoms over that weekend. lol...especially so with so many CABAL players in the group.

Btm line:
hotboys kelong is decent.
Rmb to ask for some beach gear ( i.e. volleyball) from the kelong before going island hopping. Cuz pretty much other den frollicking along the the beach, there's not much else to do while island hoping.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops
at all



Olivia Ong- I'll move on

This road that I'm taking twists and turns
My life my chance turning dreams into reality.
Down this path faced with so many things
Sometimes I feel like giving up and turn away

Can't seem to go on
And I've been thru' this before
Now where am I?
Where do I stand?
A little lost here.
But I'll remember.
All those times you've bought me thru'.
I'd be a fool to give up cos' the goal is near

I'll move on I'll go on.
Lord I will take your hand.
And you will guide me along.
Survive thru' this storm.
So I say, come what may.
I'll hold on to my hope.
Yes, I will walk down this road.
And my passion drive will lead me on

Here I am Once again caught in the rain.
Looking back I've come so far And I want to carry on
Take a step at time
It's alright.
Even thru' this rain, I want to smile again

Don't hold back now.
And i've been thru' this before.
Now where am I?
Where do I stand?
A little lost here.
But I'll remember.
All those times you've bought me thru'.
I can feel the sun shining down on me

Here I am, Here I am.
Lord I will take your hand.
And you will guide me along.
Survive thru' this storm.
So I say, come what may.
I'll hold on to my hope.
Yes, I will walk down this road.
And my passion drive will lead me on.

Its drizzling on a sunday afternoon.
And I'm waiting at home, wondering if I'll be mobilised back to Kranji Camp~

WHy?!?

Becuz the SAF deems that we, 428 SAR, are to be on standby this week. In fact, the S3 emailed us that there's a really high possibility that there'll be an actual activation this time around.

edit
just saw an email from our CO, saying that there's no recall liao~.
Its like past 2pm on a sunday, and NOBODY is DAT hardworking, plus the SAF is probably too busy hunting for Mas Selamat anyways... =p

Deicided to post some random photos, while idling at home, waiting to see if they're actually gonna push the button.


Kimmy's B'dea at 'Cha Cha Cha' at Holland Village.

MY TURN!!



YUMmY... but the portions were reallie itsy bitsy small



Minli & Jiamin, entrepeneurs at SBS day!



Lunch at bedok outlet for Botak Jones.
Good service ( ask for chris. he gave us free deserts), huge portions but a lil pricey. it was $20 for the steak? Not exacly your kopi tiam pricing, even though its located in one. But reasonable, if u compare it to stuff from like Fish and Co. or Jack's Place.
OH~! Did I mention free flow fries? =p



Weird Lemon Tea drink from Xianting's place,look like lil' tadpole eggs inside~ ^^;



Jiayin,Ping and Fangyang . KTVing at Chinatown Kster.

Manhatten Fishmarket reallie beats Fish and Co. hands Down.

I bet this is your FAVOURITE drink at the moment~

Déjà vu

During Breakfast, Nat, Elt and I were JUST talking about Catherine Lim, as an example of our Gahmen's sometimes High-Handed approach at regulating political discourse; and mere muinutes later, I run across this open letter which Catherine Lim wrote to the PM, about political openness in Singapore.

You can read her entire letter at her website. And her reasons for going online can be found at Cherian George's journalism.sg site.


She says of her reasons:

The Straits Times rejected the article, saying that there was really nothing new in it. I subsequently submitted it to TODAY, which also rejected it.

As a result I am turning to alternative sources of dissemination, and am going online. For I think I have some important ideas to share about certain major issues in our society which could have serious implications for the future. It does not matter to me if these ideas don't meet with agreement or even approval, but it does matter that they are shared with as many fellow Singaporeans as possible.


Excerpt of her letter:

...It is illuminating, Mr Prime Minister, that in your current dialogues with college and university students, they are less interested in what you tell them about the challenges of economic and social development, than in your thoughts and intentions with regard to the issue of human rights, public debate, public consultation, alternative voices, etc. Among them must be individuals who will be the future’s tiny minority of rebels, such as the wildly creative artist ready to defy conventions, and the ferocious non-conformist with political leanings, ready to challenge the establishment. It is a pity that your model has a place for the first but not the second, for surely true progress in society depends on the nurturing of both. And it would be the greatest pity of all if the young political rebel soon lost heart, got absorbed into the majority, and concluded, like them, that compliance with the powers that be, made for a more comfortable life. Fear, whether it results in people yielding in submission or lashing out in resentment must be the most damaging force in society.

I had begun this letter with a plea. It is an earnest plea to consider what can be done to remove this fear, for only then can the process of political reform begin, to lead eventually to what every society needs for resilience and the capacity for renewal– a continuing core, even if only a tiny minority, of alert, savvy, skeptical, dedicated and above all, unafraid citizens who can be relied on to be the movers and shakers. Indeed, no nation can be called great unless it can claim such a citizenry which transcends all governments. The greatest legacy of the PAP may, ironically, be in the creation of a society that no longer needs it....

Tu ne quaesieris, scire nefas, quem mihi, quem tibi
finem di dederint, Leuconoe, nec Babylonios
temptaris numeros. ut melius, quidquid erit, pati.
seu pluris hiemes seu tribuit Iuppiter ultimam,
quae nunc oppositis debilitat pumicibus mare
Tyrrhenum: sapias, vina liques et spatio brevi
spem longam reseces. dum loquimur, fugerit invida
aetas: carpe diem quam minimum credula postero.

I would like to jubilantly apportion to my fellow man, of the whimsical use of prolonged contractions and superfluous adjectives.

This faculty is especially efficacious, when slandering in the presence of one's antagonist, or said person's associates. Hence, avoiding being masticated in the gluteus, which would be the stock culmination of such an endeavour.

for the UPTEEMPTH time~

its ISAAC.... NOT ISSAC!

a teaspoon of sadness, mixed with a sprinkle of anger.
Simmer for 10min, making sure not to let it boil over.

treasure your friends and hope that they treasure your friendship too...
keeping in mind that although sometimes people might seem to take you for granted,
there are always a precious few who keep u in mind

Waste my $100 to repair it 3 weeks ago...
ONLY to have it break down on me AGAIN!

mood: pissed
