Wow.. Xmas is here.. and i did a personality test..

Wishin all my fellow friends a Happy and Merry Xmas.. Pls do bask in the festive joy and spirit.. coz as they say.. Its the season to be merry.. Anyway.. I did this personality test and it revealed a few interestin points to note which i think is fairly true and accurate.. but opinions are a matter of perception..

You're yellow, the color of joy and energy — two things you definitely bring to everyone around you. It's hard for anyone to be sad or lonely in your presence; your sunny disposition and cheery outlook just won't allow it. The warmth of your personality shines through in the kindness you show friends and family (and strangers, too). Always ready with a lighthearted joke or heartfelt compliment, you know how to make people feel good about themselves, so they can't get enough of you. Yellow is a warm and inviting color for a warm and inviting person — you!

So.. oh well what do u think.. Try it out..

Wow.. i got tagged..

Rules of the game: 1. Post 5 weird/random facts about yourself. 2. At the end, list the names of 5 people whom you want next to do this, and leave a comment "YOU ARE TAGGED!" in their blog and tell them to read your blog for rules. Ok... Aiyah..1. I once borrowed a few bdae cards from a gift shop without informin the owner. 2. I cant sit idle for a single moment.. my mind is always thinkin or i am movin around.. 3. i have a wakin up from sleep mechanism that is immediate and is activated at the mere touch on me or the sound of my name. 4. i sleep thinkin abt how i scored a wonder goal in the last game i played recently.. 5. I have this think with people.. i like to make them conscious of their appearance.. coz my eyes are on u... haha I will tag.....................F....P....A.....J....Y..... Go figure(Those are their initials).. haha Hmmm.. wow..lets see.. i once got chased by a dog down the alley.. i started shouting and screamin in fear. and u know what suddenly the mongrel turned behind and crawled away.. its a case of fightin fire with fire.. Another time.. i got my bicycle stolen.. went searchin for the suspect whom my the maid from my neighbour's house thought was my uncle(thats why she never alerted my family members).. i found him at my park.. cycled......to him and past him.. coz i was alone to pin him down.. but anyway.. i didnt lose the entire cost of the bike.. claimed back half thru insurance.. so bought a new bike.. and the tale goes on.. And the last time i heard... NKF was downsizing their donation cum marketin campaigns to reflect their new image.. and 0303 is havin an outin on first jan..wow.. Ok.. enough is enough.. Good evenin singapore..

Things are changin around here..

Hmmm.. seriously things really seem to be changin around here...well.. Harry potter latest installment of his wizadry wonder has opened up my eyes that magic mixes well with relationships.. and harry potter is not only abt entertainin the young ones.. coz i thoroughly enjoyed every min of the movie.. there was never a moment that i felt like lookin at my watch.. or starin at pple around me.. i was totally fascinated by the events unfoldin on the giant screen.. so there.. but then " chicken little".. a typical animation movie that caters to children did not go that well with me.. why.. coz i was lookin at my watch almost every time i breath out.. and dozed off once in a while.. coz seriously.. the endin was predictable.. unlike harry potter.. oh well so much for english movies.. hindi movies are changin.. the concept of hindi movies is gettin a western polish.. and u know what.. now u get to see indian girls with their vivacious moves and guys with their all muscular approach now takin on western issues such cohabitation, romantic escapades.. Hindi movies are gettin westernized.. they are basically runnin stories of western movies with everythin indian except for the story.. so i guess.. the style of indian cinema or bollywood for that matter is takin a change for that matter... Hmm..Changes are imminent in one's life.. one just have to stare it eye to eye and say "Hi" Coz whats wrong in a basic courtesy... not all pple i know are polite and courteous..they are reckless in their pple 2 pple approach.. and are out to cause mayhem in the diplomatic world with every word their utter.. Hmm.. Just tell me u... what goes well with a good dress sense, hairstyle, walkin posture, good hygiene...A CLEAN SOUL!!U need to be down to earth and be willin to other pple's words without upsettin them..oh well.. suddenly i feel like a saint preachin phrases of philosophy.. well no ah.. its just that sometimes.. ur mind is filled with all this thoughts that u want to eradicate and overome.. u dont want to create any more tensions among each other.. and thats the BOTTOm line coz LCP MANISH SAID So...

One year has passed..

Guess what ladies and gentleman, boys and girls and children of all ages.. i m finally celebratin my first year anniversary in the SINGAPORE ARMED FORCES.. I would have never imagined.. that my first year would have just flown by just like tat.. coz seriously.. i was involved in alot of interestin stuff and things that i had experienced for the first time..so i guess when i dont feel bored and take an interest into my job.. I didnt realise how time flies.. Haha.. Oh wow.. Dec 11 2004.... Exactly 2 weeks after my last paper for my 'A' levels which thankfully went well for me.. Had to go to SAF ferry terminal... then go to my company.. Had my hair shaved off my head... Platoon 3 Section 4 Bed O6... Learnt marchin on the first day.. and exchanged almost all of my uniforms coz it was 2 sizes small for my wide waist.. Goin agst the flow and norm.. I slept well on the first day of my army life away from home...........SAFPU... LIfe of ceremonial drills.. Marching.. arms drills, many uniforms.. SAF DAY, NDP, PIA.. CEremonial car door opener.. and now a civilian mp.... SO things have changed.. So now i hope that i can move on to the next one year of my army life with the same thirst and drive to learn new things... haha..Well.. I live by one ultimate phrase with regards to my army life.. "Always be prepared for the worst.. coz i will not allow the SAF to demoralise me" Its as simple as that.. SAF life has opened up my views and eyes to livin independently.. knowin that when the time comes for me to live alone.. i will pull up my socks and sleeves and get ready to face it and overcome my problems.. Whats better that creatin problems.. Solvin it!! LCP MANISH

Long Break..

Its been a while since i last wrote in to this Mr Masala but just that other issues have been keepin me busy.. Haha.. I managed to sprain both my ankles within the space of 3 weeks.. twisting the left one a day before my guard duty on sat.. Managed to get a week mc from camp and got it endorsed from my MO in camp.. WOweee.. and it so happens that i was takin overseas leave as well..Haha.. SO a mixture of offs,mc and leave gave me a looonnnnnngggggggg break to contend myself with all because of my left ankle.. And not that i am enjoyin every moment of it.. coz i have to hobble myself around my house on one leg.. with my left ankle heavily bandaged.. Oh well. Trials and tribulations of playing soccer.. Went back to camp yesterday and got a Lambasting from my regular superior.. I was like just standin there with my arms behind my back and starin at him eye to eye with a stare Sir Stamford Raffles would be proud of.. so i guess i did not crumble under the immense pressure and scoldin.. Coz seriously it was all my fault for sprainin my ankle.. Coz seriously.. I think i own the soccer ball now.. When i go dribblin with the ball nowadays.. i always want to push myself to the max and try out new tricks and stunts that leave defenders gaspin for air.. but apparently. no pain no gain.. haha.. so i have to nurse my injured ankle with a trip to Indonesia for a cousin's weddin and come back ready to test out my hopefully fully recovered on the ball and see whether there was any gain from all that pain..Oh well.. Like i said.. Playin with the ball is like playin with ur life.. It goes thru many twists and turns.. Sometimes moves fast and slow.. sometimes its get punctured.. falls into the drain.. Or Smashes into the top corner of the goal.. Hmm.. Time has come.

Keane is out, Manish is In

Wow.. Looks like the former talisman of MANCHESTER UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB has finally ended his 12 year reign at the great club and decided to move on.. u know what.. i am lovin every moment of it.. as a philosophical fan of the club.. coz thats who RoY Keane is.. his movements are unexpected and abrupt as well as sudden... so all those pple who have been acquainted with the club would have found his exit as another moment of roy keane moments.. oh well.. Now its time for the midfield of MAn U to stand up coz right now, its the midfield that needs the most attention the most.. From a midfield packed with at least 5 back ups to now only 5 plus midfielders has shown that the excess weight has been cut off.. Giggs, Smith, Scholes, Fletcher, Park J S, Ronaldo and maybe Liam Miller.. With that only giggs and scholes are the most experienced. So Smith and co have to learn as fast as possible from them.. Ronaldo, Smith and Fletcher seem to know their way around the midfield.. only know that park j s tends to do that runnin around like a headless chicken.. just wait and see.. the future of man u.. Park on the left, Smith and Fletcher in the middle and ronaldo on the right..Hmm.. DOesnt looks as intimidatin as Giggs, Keano , SCholesy and Becks huh.. oh well.. thats it.. PARk on the left, Smith, Manish and ROnaldo on the right.. How bout that.. now That's a world class midfield.. The world await the arrival of The Masala One..

Gettin a life..

Wanted to write somethin then did not choose to write coz too tired.. but anyway.. aiyah..... just too tired.. have to book in tml afternoon.. I wonder why pple often start their conversations with other pple be it textual, vocal or sensual.. sorry i meant sexual with the std.. how are u, hey, hello..... i think there are more things to say than the std phrases.. like there is my fav salutations, or the raisin of the eye brows or just stickin out ur tongue and doin the cha cha.. maybe i am bein eccentric but just once in a while ... when pple ask u how are u.. just stick out a tongue and show that they did not mean to ask tat qn.. haha.. i think i will try that on my friends.. lets see.. oh well.. clearin week this leave before i am off for an overseas weddin.. wowee.. nah.. goin to experiece a taste of how sindhi indian weddings are carried out in indonesia.. lets see how "sober" they are.... oh well..so i guess whats up with girls nowadays and their cheap dress code and guys with their baggy dress code.. it seems that they are losin the spice in their dress code.. time for me to do somethin and become a trendsetter... haha.. NS life is gettin to me..

Meet the Festive Season..

Wow.. This week has certainly flown past man.... Started off with a bang last saturday at Spore Swimmin Club for a diwali ball.. where i danced till i got weak knees and a stitch.. Haha.. Maybe.. it was too much exercise for me or too much aggression.. But seriously.. dancin at these sort of family functions are so much more pleasant than dancin in the smoke-filled dance floors of the Double Os and so on...... But the match ended on a sour note considerin that Man U lost 4-1 to Boro.. but alls not lost..Coz Boro is bogey team for Man U..haha.. excuses.. Its like sayin that i always fail my malay coz its my bogey subject..and i always cant jump to 216cm coz of heavy indian bones... oh well.. Things happen for a reason.. that's why for every girl in this world there are one and a half boys to choose from.. so that gives 3 guys and 2 girls livin happily everafter.. haha.. Anyway.. Sunday was the day after saturday.. Somehow.. Preparin for diwali has the sense of deja vu abt it coz its sort of a seasonal event.. somethin that i have been doin every year.. oh well.. this time is no different only that i took the week off and leave from my army camp.. Three cheers for that..oh well... p.s i wonder why this draft never came thru..

Manchester United and Me...

I always wonder why i am such an almost fervent supporter of ManUTd... Always shouting out loud when they score a goal.. equalize or ....... hit the post or miss an open chance..I would have to say.. it all begins with my love for the game of soccer... Playin with the ball.. hmm.. Feel like playin soccer now.. Oh well.. ManUtd.. playin at the theatre of dreams.. It starts with the letter M.. and its name sound humongous and respectful.. MANCHESTER UNITED... said with the right tone and pitch.. it's huge.. how i wish the old ManUtd can sometimes stand up and play.. the good old days of 2 out and out wingers with Becks and giggs playin on either wings and swingin in such killer and lethal crosses that all the strikers have to do is to position themselves.. that wing partnership.. Roy keane at the centre of the midfield slammin into the opponents midfielders.. Right now.. i am in the mould of Mr wayne rooney.. i used to think that i was a beckham enjoyin crossin balls into the danger area and scorin long shots.. but u know what.. i am better off playin behin the front two of playin behin the main striker.. coz i love it there.. anyway.. time to take a chill pill and say that ManU aren't firin on all cylinders.. coz i am not playin.. nah.. they are not playin.. but just wait and see.. in time they will click into gear.. sooner or later.. Man U and Me will be shouting from the rooftops again..

Oh wow.. Friday the 21st..

Things happen for a reason.. Well thats what i believe in.. U know they do happen for a reason..I was meant to fail my IPPT for the past 5 years so that i can finally test myself in the next few months to see how much i really want to test myself and whether i can DESTROY the notion that Indians cannot jump... Well.. lets see...Jumpin for joy or jumpin for my life..

One week of my life in the new company has been fruitful as well as slack.. Got a chance to raid camps man.. How cool is tat.. Go to the units and tell the fellow guy.. to open up his cupboard and mind u.. it is regardless of the rank.. he can be a big fish but ultimately my aim is to look out for any contraband items.. So its been quite fun and insightful as well as living a different life from the one i have been doing for the past 5 months..

Hmm.. I was just on my way home in the MRT today.. and was looking at the crowd..managed to see a few familiar faces. as in pple whom do not recognize me but i just know they exist... pple whom i come across sec school, pri sch and jc days.. it looks like they have moved on with their lives.. studyin at Uni.. Dressed very appropriately and femininely..well thats what like abt guys and girls as they grow older..

U know what i mean.. They start to wear clothes that represent their mindset and personality.. And it does ring a bell that "Clothes maketh the man".... and i like it.. it gives me a chance to observe and analyse them for who they are.. and if u think clothes are not enough.. then there is always the hairstyle. oh wel.. what can i say abt the hairstyle.. the way u play with ur hair is the way u tend to "play" urself in public... i like it.. i can make a hobby or pastime doing it.. but there are more impt things to be done in this world.. like playin soccer man.. i need my dose of soccer.. i need to touch the ball for now.. its a drug that i am hooked on.. i need to touch it.. AAHHHH... touched it.. haha..oh well.. just like cocky girls cannot do without their hair.. i cant go a week without playing soccer.. i can ah.. but it would be better for my morale..

LEts see.. its friday night.. not sure what i am goin to do tml and sun.. for now i am goin to play ps2 and play soccer in the park.. probabaly go to parkway for a while.. or rather go out.. EAt KFC.. i like living the army life..Life begins after u book out.. Oh well.. it seems that things dont come to an when u want them to..its the cruel part of nature.. u want to say hi to a girl on the street.. u end saying hi and also winkin coz some dust went into ur eye.. thereby transmitting the wrong message that u are a sick perv.. oh well.. the duel between the guys and girls will carry on...

So what do u say.. should i remain single and sign on with the army.. or go and be attached and sign away the rest of ur life.. haha.. Life is a matter of choices... Choices are a matter of decisions.. n Decisions are meant to be made not acknowledged.. So have u made ur decision today.. haha. .Some promo ad..haha.. Hmm.. I think i am tired of typin.. but oh well.. its fri night.. its time to go all out and shack it out.. I need to dance.. Oh speakin of dancing.. I think my coursemates were quite impressed with my dancin at the POP function.. I enjoyed the song man.. I danced to the beat man.. Its a long time since i last danced at a function.. but times do change for a reason... So i shall wait for the times to change...So for now...

Tml will come and i will think what to do.. But its all abt makin the right decision and choosing the right girl who has no fear in dressin up well.. oh well.. thats a story for another day.. Man U to beat Tottenham by 2 clear goals.. and Lpool to draw one all with Fulham.. Furthermore.. I think chelsea will go down to the wire tml before winning their tenth game in a row.. oh well... Chelsea is goin to get beat soon.. and take care man.. Manish 09.

Finally... An Mp..

Well.. last friday was my MP passin out parade.. It was a great parade... i would have to say.. among all the rehearsals.. the actual was the best.. even the actual spds performance went well and at the end when we keluar baris as in were dismissed.. the shouting of the motto was the loudest and most inspirational and motivational almost felt like orgassing.. haha... Pride Disciplibne Honour Provost!! Oh well... That parade marked then end of a long journey for the 110 plus of us coursemates.. Goin thru a few parades.. beginning with SAF day parade followed by NDP, oh yeah SPDS p.o.p and MP basic parade..

I guess all good things come to an end sooner or later... As they say bad times tends to last forever whereas good times always come to an end.. Oh well. I must say.. this passin out parade was certainly very sentimental and nostalgic for we spent 7 months together doing many many drills.. oh well for me.. i was a door opener.. haha.. anyway.. all the same we were in the same group.. now its the time to move on..

At first, i thought i was goin to the IStana.. but now it seems that i am not goin to do standin parade at the sentry gates of the great majestic Istana.. In fact now i am goin to zone.. which means i am goin out on the street to catch detainees or rather potential detainees.. therefore my job involves the true duties of an MP.. enforcin discipline amon the pple in the SAF.. ANyway.. It has been a real fun and insightful experience for me.. an NSF to go thru all this parades and get to see what happens at this various events.. I can only hope for that my next few months will be as interesting and fun as it has been for the past few months.. But right now.. My main aim is to pass my IPPt.. coz i have been failing it for the past 5 years... if i dont pass it now i will never get a better chance.. so i will try my best.. to not fail ippt.. haha.. Oh well.. Lets move on with time..

Now it wil be a diff story for me.. Just hope that what happens next for me in my new company will be interestin and will not bore me.. Lets toast to that.. Catch up later

Today's My Day..

Oh wow.........October 9 2005 has finally come... and well alot of things have happenend in past few weeks and months after i celebrated my last bdae..Well now i am 19th.. on the door step of reachin the 2os... and well its been a long time since i last updated my blog and my life in army... Hmmm.. One more week to becomin a Military Policeman.. finally.. I heard that i will be posted to Istana to mount ceremonial sentry.. Wow.. so interesting.. haha.. Well.. My MP course has been smooth sailin so far.. Finished the exercise in Pulau Tekong, Urban Operations ie to say fighting in Urban Areas.. I even survived the Gas chamber with the gas suit and all.. Went for GPMG live firing and fired the Pistol p226... it went well.. I am almost there...Went to ulu sembawang for navigation exercise.. Now its only a week away.. from Istana................. Whats going on... Hmmmmmmmm...... Wonder what has happenend.. Last year october was just after my prelims and now october is just before Passin out Parade... I think its abt time to take a time check.. ok.. the time now is 5pm...Well....... Had a fun and lively bdae party with my family and relatives last night.. Got a ball and another good solid watch to showcase... as well as a few sports shirts..Hmm..was thinkin of having a PS2 party but time is not on my side this time around.. Anyway.. Time is always moving and with time.. u gotta move on.. Life's changin and growin older and i gotta grow older and its time to make another time check.. 515pm.. oh ok.. gotta book in camp soon...haha.. i wonder.. one more week... its goin to be a diff story.. no more marching.. no more orders to follow every min, hour and sec.. Lets see abt that i guess... Hmm.. Well.. I hope this year goes smooth sailing and hope to pick up driving... Right now.. I am just thinking.. Whats in store for me in the year ahead.. I will think abt that on the ride back to camp.. But for now.. 19 years on planet earth has made me do alot of thinkin.. With a quote for the next new year for me.. Life is unpredictable yet all the more challenging.. Act and THink straight.. coz straight can't get any straighther than that.. Hmm.. Time Check. Good Day

Finally, a pause at the end of a hectic week..

Haha.. Wow.. the week flew quite quickly.. monday booked in then fri evenin booked out.. Well... its a matter of a month left to the end of my course.. to become an MP.. well. looks like my bunkmates are gettin along well with each other.. so barrin any major collapse in relations.. the next 4 weeks should be a smooth sailin one..coz if we are doin it together, the burden is shared among everyone and no one will have a larger cut of the pie..

Oh well.. this week was all abt learnin abt what is the role of Mp durin war time.. so blah blah.. PW cage, tentage, basically learnin MP ops.. so it was somethin different.. We had 2 outfields which were quite fun and it was good to see our batch laughin and havin fun.. Fri went to ulu sembawang for a navigational test.. It was a matter of gettin to our 5 checkpoints n the last end pt.. but u know what.. we were cheated... coz they gave us the wrong grid reference.. so much for efficient and effective..in the end..the warrant officer told me that as long as we had fun it was ok.. HAH.. i replied telling him that we were indeed havin fun... until tthat point when they gave us the wron checkpoint.. so thats SAF..they made it into a competition..but they forget to make sure whether its a fair one.. so life goes on.... hopefully, they can check clear their stores and whatever info before relayin on to us trainees... its just that the trainees are supposed are to make mistakes and not the instructors.. SOP style..

So.. Its abt time.. Man U playin Lpool this weekend in a battle of confidence.. which team will stand up depends on the performance of the goalie.. considerin that the previous games of between these two sides have been decided by the keeper.. so lets see what happens..

Hmmmm.. Just some food for thought..Looks may be deceivin.. but the true nature of a person is always in his actions.. be it big or small... nah.. nothing much to think abt.. only that.. i got 4 weeks left to brin an end of a long journey for my batch. the socalled "special batch.."... Lets see...........................

Sunday is here again.......

Just arrived back from live firing....... Things to do.. Alot to talk abt.. not that much though..This week that went past seemed quick which culminated in a General Purpose Machine Gun Live firin as well as watchin Salam Namaste with family at night..Haha.. Kena caught for sleepin on the bed.. so had to book in 3 hours earlier.. Goin to be more cautious this comin week.. Got 2 outfield man.. Life is goin to much tougher yet i will hang in there.. coz toughness is not forever.. Have to rough it out.. Oh well.. Good day...

Simple Sunday..

Oh well.. Just finished one week of regimentation under the new revised and compact 8week MP basic course...All in all.. it has liven up to expectation but there is still a feelin that there is more to come.. we will see what happens in the next few days and weeks to come.. Its already 4th sept..course endin 14th october.. so time is runnin fast.. Haha.. i hope so.. hope to get done with it..

Instructors were sayin that it is a fairly easy course to sail thru coz not so much focus on physical but more on mental.. 70% lectures.. wow!!.. haha.. basically.. the first week went thru alot of mental torture coz its like have to stay awake and show an interest in the lectures.. its ok when the topic is interestin but when the topic smells of boredom.. its like tryin ur very best to stay awake durin a fight betweeen two old ladies.. but still there were moments to remember.. haha

Some jokes to remember esp by my Warrant Z, course commander.. abt detainees who became what they were..for eg.. why did he go to db.. detention barracks.. coz he hammered the officer.. and why did he hammer the officer coz his face looked like a nail!!.. that hit me straight at my heart.. haha. also stories abt the old days of Mp life in the 70s and 80s were related to us.. how there was more fun as there was lot less restriction on the type of physical abuse u can give to the offenders.. there was also a case of how the MP wanted to strip the detainee to see whether he was hidin anythin in his body.. so he was meant to strip naked.. but since he chose to strip rather slowly.. he had to do it over and over again.. such that even his underwear band gave way..haha.. products of the 80s.. imagine wearin an underwear with with a rubber band and cloth that is detached easily.. those were the days of the so called "fun" MP life..

oh well.. went thru alot of lectures and some tests.. abt handcuffs.. quite painful to wear as it leaves a mark of the skin and flesh.. Nizam the great is doin a great job on enforcin the disciple in the country.. he being the Disciplinary Instructor has promised to fuck us badly coz of our poor discpline and inability to handle ourselves and be independent.. he promised to release the devil in him.. i shall wait and see..

oh well. next week goin to learn and fire the GPMG.. learn everythin abt and what it does and its purpose and it will culminate on sunday live firing.. it will be fun as well shiok.haha.. oh yeah.. went thru some Control and restraint exercises this week.. learnt how to break fall with one hand.. damn fuckin painful.. see what happens in the weeks to follow..

Sat was fun playin soccer.. coz i was back to my best.. playin as a free role and dribblin my way thru the crowd and to finish it off.. scorin the last goal.. haha.. i enjoyed it to the max.. power lah.. was entertainin to play and good to see that i still love the game of soccer more.. its like fireworks.. the fun is in creatin and the product is the satisfaction of watchin a good coordinated time period of good stuff.. haha.. oh well.. sat night went the house of sindhis.. had a sort of fun fair type of show for the society to meet up as well collect for money for a good cause.. Could see that sindhis really love to dress up both for the guys and girls as well.. Great scenery... clothes, young crowd and good music..

in the end.. came home to watch eng beat wales by a goal to nil.. rooney was wasted.. thats all i gotta say.. erikkson cant make up his mind.. tremendously disappointed but life goes on..

all in all.. this week has been lively yet borin.. at times.. Soccer on sat great... Next week is coming but i will not waste today.. See what happens.. Always wonder...

Why do pple give in to stress under pressure.. Cant they be calm and act peacefully.. Stress is like a test.. once u know it is comin.. u start preparin for it.. whats wron with u all.. come on man.. Take it with a pinch of salt.. Stare it in the eye and reach high...

Basic Mp Course Starts and in a good mood..

Haha.. Looks like i am in for 7 weeks of regimentation and tough training..They say it will be 70percent done in the lecture theatre coz there is alot of lessons to be taught.. So lets see.. But there is some interestin things to be learnt on what it means to be an MP.. Being courteous, diplomatic in ur speech with other military personnel is impt.. Oh well.. So far one thing that has changed is that there is no time to have a proper nap coz barely a few mins of rest after lunch and cant sleep on the bed.. So need to sacrifice and leave it to the night.. oh well... Just have to live each day by the meal..once again like in BMT.. haha..Lets see..

GUess that it will take a fewdays to get used to it.. But for now i will be missin the MAN U vs NEwcastle match.. I predict Man U to win by a goal to nil.. lets see what happens..Oh well..Lets see whether i can go thru a week of regimentation so far i have only experienced 2 days.. time will tell and i will glide thru...Lets see lets see.. If man can cook so can manish..

Day of preparation...

Today is the last day of so called freedom before i finally become a trainee as i begin a 8 week course startin tml.. it promises to maximises everysingle moment in camp and it will tire me physically and mentally.. it promises to bring our egos and pride to the scum of the earth.. its abt time that we behave like trainees.. The SOP(sch of provost) instructors cant wait to touch us.. they must be sharpenin their knives to go in for the kill the minute the sun rises tml.. we, trainees shall be expectin a tough and strenous 8 weeks.. before that.. changes need to be made..necessary in order not to get fucked..

Went for a haircut... coz trainees dont keep long hair.. so had to clean bowl all the hair on my head except for the short strands...got photos of my new fresh look at a cost of 7 bucks.. expensive yet necessary.. Oh well.. goin to book in tonight.. Its time to stare fear in the eye and say HI...

Guess what.. Lpool lost one nil.. their first lost in the champions league qualifyin rounds and i predict more to come.. haha.. just love tauntin them.. they are the perennial underachievers..ok.. not that man u are that far off in these past few seasons..haha.. and they are the european champions.. Today is the day.. that Mr ALAn Smith will show that he is capable of replacin the great ROY keane.. he shares the same fire and tenacity to fight it out on the centre of the midfield.. My only fear now is that if with the current 4-3-3 formation with Ruud leadin the attackin aspect.. what will happen if we lose RUUd.. who is goin to sit in the penalty box and score all the poacher like goals.. Rooney can do it but it will a waste of talent..U know what.. Smith can do that.. Rooney cant coz it isnt in his blood to just tap in goals.. He needs to be in the heart of the action and creatin goals rather than be at the finishin end of moves.. We will see.. So i guess when Ruud is out.. ManU will revert to a 4-4-2.. with the same back line and centre midfield be that smith or roy or paul or fletcher.. with the park or giggs or ronaldo on the wings.. But the two centre forwards will be rooney and ROSSI.. the italian left legged striker.. he has proven himself to be quite a handful.. or we can wait for SAHa to come back and unleash his pace and shot power.. we will have to wait i guess.. In the meantime. Right now.. TOtenham and Chelsea seem to be ridin high on victories.. with MAN city likely to spring a few surprises.. and my Man U to be among the top there fightin it out.. while Arsenal and Lpool try to tweak their playin style to suit their squads.. We will see..

Oh well.. I guess we just have to see how they change and tweak their squads.. The latest thing abt chelsea is that they bought a 24.4million pounds Squad player!! Basic course startin and its time i prepare myself mentally and physically.. Hope to do it once and do it good. Adios.

Self-appraisal

There he goes again..That grumpy yet killer look leaves many breathless....

Sentosa getaway..

WOw... its tuesday.. alot of things happenened durin the past few days.. Firstly, ManU won one nil.. Thanks for the support and the unbridled motivation by all of u liverpool and newcastle fans.. i know that u are livin ur clubs dreams thru us... haha.. Come on.. Draw nil nil to West Brom!! and win one nil to some club by a freakin free kick.. Seriously Lpool, its time to come out of ur hole and smell the air.. Slaughterin season is comin up for u guys. haha..Pls prove me wrong.. Man U needs a challenge this season from this two teams..We did the double over u all last season..Haha.. Its time to stand up and show ur balls to the world that u are anEPL team..boro wont be far off.. though..

Strange things happen.. Monday went for chalet with my ex buddy, joey the scholarly great.. haha.. its ok.. to call him that coz he has a right to that nickname..and he is out to prove pple wrong that scholars are not a bunch of bookworms.. there is more than meets the eye to these guys.Other guys from the other bunks came as well.. A group of abt ten guys.. Two PIA buddies,Yong and ah xiang, soccer gossipers, shah and matthias,kk,baby,greg"chui"... Went to play beach soccer.. U know what..Quite disappointed with what i had to offer as beach soccer player eventhough we were playing just for the fun of it but stilll...my touches were poor and off the ball movement was slack.. haha..I must say.. at this moment.. Street soccer stands out at my forte followed by field and ....haha..Real poor..Gotta chance to see "chaboh"as they say.. some were hot, some were not.. some were just there.. But girls do look good tryin to wear clothes that portray their good features and hide their bad ones..haha.After that went to watch the fountain show with BK meal in hand.. then went back to chalet..After goin for so many chalets with all my classses, still dont know how to play all that card games.. i wonder why, prob no interest.. oh well.. had a good sleep in a small room.Friends were quite amused with my reflexes when i am awaken from my sleep..its a matter of bein on guard when someone touches or u hear anythin..haha..

All in all.. sentosa was fun.. get to hang out and see girls.. had fun and got a tan.. the company is quite impt.. good to see we shared good vibes...Time well spent..

Thursday the great

Today was a different day... Had to go to Changi Naval Base to take part in a swimmin meet organized by my camp.. It was part of the cohesion day theme.. But in the end. due to the lightnin and unforseen circumstances.. it became an indoor event.. Although, i think the indoor event is indeed more fun.. Had a few laughs.. there was this event.. a guy had to move in a circular motion with one end of an umbrella to his forehead and the other end on the floor.. after that.. they had to sprint back or do skipping.. imagine the number of comical moments it produced.. haha.. Runnin back sideways coz the mind cant think straight.. doing skippin sideways and fallin to the floor.. this were just some of the consequences of gettin dizzy. Oh well.. at night gone to the SAFPU anniversary.. quite interestin and fun.. gotta see my instructors to be gettin drunk on beer.. oh man.. i always wonder why pple like to drink beer or smoke.. i cant stand the taste of beer and the smell of cigarette smoke.. Maybe its like studyin.. no one likes all the hardwork put inside but they enjoy the benefits later on.. haha Oh well.. went home around 11pm..it was at orchid country club of all places.. haha in yishun.. oh well... why did they have to be so cruel to us eastlanders.. why!! why!! no ah.. its part of the plan.. haha.. Lookin forward to this weekend's fixtures.. lets see what happens..i think man u will win by at least two goals and dont concede any.. liverpool to be overdependent on gerrard and arsenal to win by a goal to nil.. lets see what happens

FunTimes are over..almost..

Haha..Goin to start my MP basic course next thus man.. Things are goin to be much different when that course starts.. in fact.. things have started to be diff.. For one thing, i have changed bunk and the pple.. It doesnt help that i have a few pple that i dont know and also some who are very forthcomin in their approach to the pple around them.. But its ok.. In life.. U are bound to meet pple who dont always agree with what u do, what u say or act or talk or move.. Opinions are a right of the fellow individual.. More importantly, we gotta compromise and accept each other for whoever they are and for what they are.. Respect them for who they are.. Life is tremedously exciting.. Its all in the mind man.. I cant say this anymore simpler.. Life is Fun.. Fun is how u decipher it.. Well, i will get to know within the next few weeks to come what it means to compromise and come to a common point of agreement.. I have compromised before. And it has brought abt dividends.. it should be the same now.. Be it bulldogs or hippotamus.. Haha.. Life is unique.. In the sense that u have a choice to choose what u wanna make out of it.. Choose to do good or choose to lose.. There are many choices.U just have to make different choices at the different stations in ur life.Choice.

Tueday Nite..

Oh well..the nite is here for me to ponder.. Tml I embark on our first stage of Mp Basic course..How? By shiftin bunks.. coz its a no-brainer.. from the 4th floor to the 5th floor.. i wonder why..can someone tell me..Rumours.. are that the 2 female coursemates from Brunei are to take the 4th floor so that means to protect the modesty and safety of those two ladies.. 113 of us have to go up one floor.. no ah.. maybe because they think we are to accustomed to our current bunks and our bunkmates..spent 5months there.. I think its best they do a change to the environment they will be shufflin the personnel within the bunk as well.. oh well.. Haha.. Joey was tellin me abt one the seargants thinks that we are condoms or rather prostitutes.. The company in charge of Saf day and NDp uses us to the max then throws us away once they are done with it.. Now its the School turn to make use of us.. So basically we are goin to get laid again i guess... No choice.. We are not regulars.. We are fkin trainees only that we are skilled and experienced trainees.. We know what to expect.. So lets see what happens.. Thats my army story for now. An Mp trainee. Why is it that some pple love to live the high life.. Spend alot, think highly of themselves and portray i am the best attitude and there is a high chance know that within a moment their world can come tumbling down.. Why not live a simple humble life.. once in a while treatin urself to a little luxury or treat.. I mean cant we all be humble and not be so arrogant and boastful with our mannerisms and speech.. but u know what.. this is what i like about humans..U get to meet pple with different personalities.. and i usually like to play with their emotions and attack them sarcastically.. I do believe that silent and soft sarcasm is one of the best ways to battle incompetent sour grapes.. what else better to do than to make them feel stupid and dumb.. i dont know but such pple neeed to be put in their place.. oh well.. it takes practice and time.. Time will telll.. Good nite

The Suspense of Soccer..

I dont know why.. But i have played quite a few sports in my short life.. But Soccer stands out as the only game that i truly enjoy playin anytime anywhere.. why.. its an addiction..a drug that i cant get rid off.. a birthmark that will stay with me forever.. Aiyah.. Gettin the ball.. Havin to do wonders with it.. Passin, dribblin with it and then fallin down before takin a shot and then gettin up and start all over again.. Haha.. My neighbours.. a pair of brothers who have grown up playin soccer with me.. tell me of the fun times we had when we were younger at the different fields in our neighbourhood.. There was this time.. where he did a pair of stepovers before scorin.. Then he thought i could not emulate it.. but then u know what i did.. I did at least ten stepovers and i was on the way to the ground before nickin the ball into the goal.. Haha.. he still remembers the goal.. I dont know why.. It tests ur imagination, creativity and mental strength and physical aspect to do wonders with the ball.. Whenever i get the balls, its like refuellin my belief that i can do somethin with it before passin the ball to someone else.. its a chance to express myself.. SO i do what i think i can do best.. Dribble and shoot.. But u know what. SOccer is not that easy.. mind u.. its tougher than doin a maths exam or talkin to ur gf.. coz u need patience, balls, and alot of self-confidence to use the ball the way u want it to move.. Haha.. Remember the times all the way from pri 2.. playin in so many fields in my neighbourhood.. gettin chased by the police and green rangers... hittin pple in the face.. outsiders who are just walkin or runnin getttin whacked by the ball and havin to apologize to them.. Havin to explain to the police that soccer is not a crime.. why dont u damn let us play man.. LEt US play and dont bleady disturb us.. But i think now our soccer field will be fixed for a few years.. coz its a concrete space and its ideal for my type of soccer.. Futsal or street soccer style.. Haha.. I love draggin the ball and keep on testin myself.. Its like a challenge to me to prove that i can outwit the useless opponents.. Its all in the mind.. Thats why i say.. if not for soccer and my indian and some western music. I will be one stressed up human.. Soccer relaxes my body and makes me stronger mentally.. It teaches ur conscience to accept defeat and fight on.. it teaches u to not give up and keep on tryin until u persevere..What can i say.. The suspense of soccer and me.. The ball is in the mind of the player.. Play with it and enjoy it..

Spot on.. Man U alert.

Haha.. Guess What.. Man U won.. It was a highly assurin performance that i haven seen in last few games of last season and in the FA Cup final.. Why do i say that.. Alot of energy and enthusiasm.. Mr Park did well man... he showed that he was a fighter and was willin to run down players.. Rooney was on cloud nine.. Thinkin that he owned the attackin aspect of ManU.. what can i say man.. if u have the courage and finesse then do it.. Ruud was on goalscorin mode.. O shea played a tough and tirin game.. did alot of runnin up and down the left flank.. Keane was as usual.. I seriously believe that its time for him to step down when it comes to games like this.. Let other fellows like SMITH and fletcher to take charge.. I mean u are 34 and u wanna play.. Whenever Keane plays..U know u are goin to get 101percent so why not save him for the big games..and save him from a few yellow cards.. Fletcher was power man.. The defence with Van Der SAr did well enough to not concede but still not good enough to handle high balls.. it will take time man.. maybe one more game and they should fine tune their frequency.. haha. yeah rite..COme on man.. I can hear things comin from the other camps.. What is that.. Nah.. Time will tell.. But u know what.. Lpool played one hell of a shit game.. What in the world were they tryin to do... If not for gerrard the great, they would not have a single shot on goal.. why is that.. Momo sissoko was power.. but i think Rafa has lost a screw.. Come on u all Pool fans out there... Go and find that screw.. Maybe u all need Owen after all.. Maybe u all need a breath of fresh air.. Maybe u all need to face MAn U to get back to Earth after that tremendous Champion league win.. Come on man.. Such a great player in gerrard and he's the one havin all the shots on targets.And where is the cow sense in puttin Cisse as a winger.. Ever seen Ruud playin winger.. Cisse is a Bellamy..or an Owen.. Ah heck.. Let them tinker their own team..Just disappointed that as A Man U fan.. Pool is not up to the mark.. oh well..Time will tell.. Seriously.. U all should Play alonso and sissoko as centre mid.. then put gerrard as attackin mid.. then put morientes alon with cisse.. 4-2-3-1 or a 4-1-3-2.. So many variety and u all play 4-3-2-1.. its not ABC...

First Impressions..Epl startin today..

I have this thing abt observin pple for no rhyme or reason.. But ultimately i think it helps when it comes to judgin a person's personality.. Its fun actually when i or u come to think abt it.. Why not go on the road and look at the person and see what gives him away.. I have this formula.. Go for the hairstyle.. Esp for girls..Actually for both lah.. I tend to look at the hair first and see how they style it.. then the other impt things..a person who has immaculately styled hair would tend to be meticulous or vain.. dependin ah.. very difficult to say all the various depictions.. But one thing's for sure.. a girl's boobs does not show her true personality but rather how she exhibits or rather carries herself that is more impt.. One thing that builds other pple's confidence in u is Posture.. I know it coz my posture used to be quite bad.. Good posture is very impt.. U know what.. U may have all the features u can want or naturally possess but ultimately how u carry it off is impt to create that first impression.. Thats why it's so fun and interestin to look at pple in the crowd.. Some may say i am a perv or dirty old horny guy(haha)but ultimately i have good intentions at heart.. Whats more fun than tryin to sense what the guy or gal in front of u is thinkin.. haha.. yeah lah..dont tell me u got other things on ur mind and got no time to think but i guess some pple arent cut out for doin such stuff.. Its fun lah.. all the more make u think more when it comes to girls.. haha.. Oh well.. EPl season is startin and first impressions is tat of surprises and intense competition.. I hope that this EPL season will go on to prove that Money does not buy success!! Pls prove it wrong.. U need form, luck and right tactics to win a game..U dont buy the goals.. My prediction for the EVerton Man U match tml is Man U to win 3-1..

Fri Night..Everyones schoolin..

Wow.. Ndp's over.. I am due for alot of off days for the next few days.. Good news rite.. I got Sat to Mon break.. Just caught up with Sunny.. He is studyin at Nus.. EEE..he got a hp and the still the same gf.. hope to keep in contact with him.. Aman and Rohit are there as well.. Asked him abt the "scenery" over there.. He said all the girls were nerdy includin the Indian girls as well.. maybe he was lookin in the wrong direction and also maybe also that he is taken already.. haha.. Girls and non singaporean males are schoolin.. Gettin used to new friends and environments.. Uni life is beginnin for them.. Hope they can live it up..

My Ndp Story..

Well.. What can i say to myself at the end of the day.. I went from presidential car door opener to prime minister to minister and to finally nothin at all.. So basically my involvement in Ndp was to my benefit.. Eatin all the KFCs, gettin the fun pack and all the other souvenirs.. oh well.. at least i can say i was involved in some of the rehearsals.. but ultimately the SEcurity branch stepped in to say that they did not require a PIA aka door opener to open the doors for the ministers .. Oh well.. At least i had no regrets.. But my story of Ndp is indeed somethin i wont forget.. haha..

Rio signs..haha..Happy BDAE Spore!!

Good news to hear on a tues morning.. Rio signs a 4 year contract with man U.. that will only mean he is in a greater position to get the captaincy which i think he should deserve any time soon.. Hmm.. Its country's bdae today man.. I am goin to do one heck of a job as a carpark door attendant at the supreme court..I will be sharp with my salutin and cuttin down.. Just u wait and see.. The 8 ministers who call upon my spot will have not seen such precise and sharp salutin in their whole life and in years to come.. Oh well.. Happy Bdae Spore.. 40th.. hmm.. i wonder whether girls make better door openers than guys.. dont think so.. coz they salutin wont look as fierce and awe-strikin as guys.. Haha.. Anyway.. have to book in at 1115 at the great PADANG.. hope to get some good food and fun..

mon night..Man U doin right things..

Just finished readin the newspapers for the past few days and catchin up with soccernet..my man u sold phil neville and goin to sell kleberson..I am glad they are doin such a thing man.. Good to see that the overloaded midfield is finally gettin rid of its fringe players.. First it was nicky butt who was good but not fortunate enough coz he was fightin with roy keane in his hey days.. Sad case though.. Good to see him in Birmingham.. Makes me want to watch these blue team play.. Then they lost djemba the clown. Haha.. He is physical but doesnt have the biggest balls in the midfield and not big enough to rule the midfield.. Good to see him go aston villa.. Will trouble the manager.. whether to sell him or use him as a ballpeeker.. Phil and kleberson are two efficient players.. the former being very consistent and the latter being a shrewd passer.. but now all these shit done and all sees me with the future of Man U goin the right way.. The future of the centremidfield lies in the hands of darren fletcher, liam miller with a fatter body, rooney, maybe o shea and finally my no 1 bet to take roy keane.. ALAN SMITH. I always wondered what tenacious tackler and a great passer of the ball who plays soccer with a heart of steel is doin playin a strikin position.. he should get into the deep end of the play and fight and kill pple with his career threatenin tackless.. But he is not big enough to be captain. Somethin RIo will do fine provided he thinks Man U are cheatin him of a better pay elsewhere.. My No 1 formation for man u this season would be a 4-3-1-2. Van der sar in goal. Rio and Michael in centre defence. Gary and gabriel as the backs. Smith in the centre of midfield. Park to play left midfield and darren fletcher on the right. This is the were the fun comes in. Rooney,ronaldo and ruud as the forward three with rooney bein the centre of attraction.these three would be free to exchange with each other. Giggs to play as an imminent substitute. Scholes to play when fletcher is off form. These is 4 home games though.. Away games.. 4-4-2. With smith and rooney across the midfield. with park and ronaldo on the flanks. Ruud and scholes in the centre or rather solskjaer when hes back.. This will lead to rooney, ronaldo or scholes playin free roles.. so that smith will be there to clean up the debris. See what happens on tues night for their third round qualifying.. The future seems bright in Liverpool,Newcastle and Tottenham. And i would like the 4 wingers in chelsea to get beaten and bruised at the end of every game no matter how elusive they are!! HAha. We will see..

Ndp coming.. Flashbak..to the past yr is in the order.

Haha.. Never knew time will fly so fast man.. First 9 weeks bmt.. then posted to mowbray camp.. That was somewhere near march... now its august.... and guess what.. time does fly when u are doin diff things everyday.. all though i must my PIA life is incomparable to the drill squad.. Openin doors wherever it may be.. in a carpark or in front of the whole freakin parade is the same coz i am openin the door for some big shot from singapore all the same.. I guess i just take what i get.. PIA.. Provost IN Attendance.. Considerin PIA sounds like a nice acronym.. it merely means that provost who are state guards are present to open doors for a big shot of the singapore government.. Prestige is there man for 2 year soldiers like us.. Haha.. Guess what i just diverged from my main topic.. ah .. Ndp.. Mp.. Pia.. At carpark. .minister of states.. 16 of them.. Hmm.. i got a good job coz of my height and my ethnicity.. and some luck due to the big shot wantin a non chinese to open doors.. ahah.. Hmmm.. Could still remember that day.. but life's fun and i think i am goin to make it more and more enjoyable as time flies by.. such that i feel sad for the girls that they have to enter uni so fast and brin their short workin life back to track.. and get back to the old ways of makin friends and usual school routines of skippin classes.. and all the time required to dress up..Back then in jc... I had this concept abt college guys and girls.. U cant be one of those collegers if u didnt have a pricey water bottle, a slack bag, ankle socks, the hairstyle and that lazy yet so call cool walk.. girls had it all the same.. IT was the idea that college was the time to outgrow ur usual useless self and become an emblem of a jc student.. Hmmm.. I never became one i guess.. Coz u know why.. i will probably be the best out there.. when i put my mind to it. no one stops me.. Haha.. No ah.. Just that i wasnt interested in doin so.. Coz friends around were not fooled by these fashion.. Although some of my classmatees back in 0303 under the eve ho were.. Haha.. Mrs Evangeline Ho.. Brings back memories.. The symbol of the ignorance.. Could not give a damn abt us students.. u know why.. she was livin in her own world.. thinkin that every batch comes and goes just like a factory where there is a batch that enters at regular intervals and she is merely the supervisor that ensures that the batch does not go bad although some did and yet they turned out fine.. cheers.. dont think i wanna dwell too much on the teachers coz the guys and girls that i met there were indeed more worth it..Aiyah.. Ndp coming.. Haha.. Goin to open doors in the carpark man..Went from presidential door opener to prime ministerial door opener to car park door attendant.Laugh all u want coz it is the fun of politics.. U cant be the top if u dont show it.. I am goin to do one heck of a JOB as an CArpark car door attendant.. Here we go..

gaze of a girl..

Sometimes i wonder whats this with the power of a girls radar.. I was walkin in a train standin alone.. then i saw this girrrl with that "lethal look" and power appearance.. haha.. dont know how to put it.. Well she caught my attention that is.. So there i was starin at her thru the crowd.. Then POOOM!! she turned into my direction thru the crowd into my eyes.. Wow.. whats that... Her sudden turn sort of threw me backwards hittin another girrl at the back of me..haha. no ah.. i am not that fortunate.. haha.. Hmm.. whats with the power of a girl to find the gaze of a guy lookin at her.. hmm.. its like moments like me more eager to look at girls to see how efficient is their radar!! comin to think of it..with me being observant and all..I also tend to sense tat someone has their eyes on me.. haha.. maybe its a human thing.. i should try this human radar thing more often.. i might never know.. If i gaze was to strike some girls stare.. then if her attention is mine for that short moment.. that moment could stretch into a few moments.. seconds.. half a minute.. a minute.. then maybe a slap or just a smile.. Risk the slap for that smile or risk that smile for a slap... Hmm.. this is a tough one.. I guess practise is somethin that i need now.. since i am in the army now..Might as well spend some time explorin my social life.. Slap or smile.. Choose to lose or pick 2 get tricked.. haha.. To grasp that gaze of a girrrl..

1208am..

Hmm.. Never knew that i will start a blog.. but i guess I just felt like doin one.. Haha.. Ndp comin this tues.. Will be openin door for a few ministers.. In the carpark of all places.. I wonder why..Maybe just maybe i could have opened the door for the president or prime minister in front of the hundreds and thousands of Singaporeans.. Hmm..Ahh damn it.... Why in the hell would i want to screw up a NDP parade becoz of my lack of confidence.. whats done is done and done cannot be undone.. Hmm. Life's made up alot of dones and undone comin to think of it.. Guess what. Today saw waldy at a bedok hawker centre by chance.. Coz my gaze was caught upwith two girrrls at the other end who were all dressed up prim and proper then there was simple mr armani waldy joe.. Came crashin down to earth.. haha.. i love sayin things that dont make sense.. i think this blog will be great for me already.. haha.. oh well..
