Today's my off day. I was supposed to go out with Sunil to get something but turns out he was not free to do so. Well, after gym in the morning with melvin, I was left with nothing to do except to rot at home and listen to music. At the gym we met wei hong (an ex classmate), who hasn't really change much from the last time I saw him (I can't remember when). But I suppose he is doing well in army, as he looks radiant and energetic (he's from sispec by the way).
I just finished watching 3 episodes of Prison Break, which I had started out a while back and failed to complete hence I need to re-watch everything. The plot is looking to get more interesting from where I have stopped. More complications, more twists, I can't wait to get to the end of the season. And now I just wasting my time away and praying that 630 will come earlier so I could leave the house and go for driving lesson.
Speaking of driving lesson, I am starting to get sick of it. With all the hassle of driving a manual car, I wish I could still feel the anxiety and excitement I had when I started out. Having said that, that does not mean I am not focus when I am driving. I am please to say I am progressing well and I certainly hope I can pass on the first attempt. It is so expensive to learn driving nowadays and it is sucking what's left of my pay dry. I want to get it over and done with NOW!!
I am so sick of my writing skills and speech abilities now. I can't stop using 'I' at the start of every sentence. This is making me irritated. And I can't seem to speak proper English anymore. Having lost touch with academic studies and writings have left me handicapped. And I am so lazy to pick up a book to read. I won't even go on to talk about what kind of books and movies I go for these days. Let's just say
Men-in-White was the biggest mistake of my life. I have never seen a suckier film than this worse than a pile of shit film. Kelvin Tong certainly should think twice about producing anymore movies cause this has sealed my impression of his movies. To all those who have not watched it and are intending to, I rather you throw that $7.50 out of the window now. Maybe you will derive more satisfaction from it than paying for some shitty-ass movie.
It will be another 7 days or so before I will see Aloysius and Ashley, who have just been enlisted last friday and saturday. I can't wait to see their bald look. I should have a good laugh then. Hope they are doing well. And also Andy is booking out today from Tekong, but I have not been able to contact him since last week. I wonder what happened. I better try again. Till my next entry, see ya then.

The day after OCS commissioning parade (I'm not the one commissioning, duh), the group of us from SAF band wanted to celebrate Dean and FuQuan's birthday and we decided to crash the 'unusual' clubs all in the name of fun. At first, excited at what we might see and encounter there, it soon turned into anxiety as we approached the street full of these clubs and bars. It was after seeing the kind of people that frequent these places that made us nervous and regretful about having made the decision to come here. The way those people checked us out was enough to freak us out. Anyway, we decided to go
Taboo which was already crowded with people, guys mainly (duh!). The atmosphere in the club was in sync with the crowd they were drawing in. Flashy lights, sleeveless muscled waiters, loud-blasting Rihanna music, pink, purple etc. We could feel the vibes that was going around the place and it definitely gave me goosebumps. Nonetheless, it was definitely an eye-opener for the group of straight guys.
Initially we were quite apprehensive and clustered together when moving around the club. It was definitely the stories we heard about travelling alone in the club that made us behaved that way. We were trying to find a spot to plant ourselves the entire night and also to cut the cake for the birthday boys and we did find a spot, away from the attention that we were drawing the minute we stepped into the club. Not long after we took out the cake, the boss of the club (i think it is him as he was the most "friendly") came by and offered our birthday boys a drink each(flaming lamborgini), saying it was on the house. We politely thanked him and went back with our celebration.
It took us a while before we settled into the club's mood and we decided to proceed to the dance floor. Benny and Fu Quan stayed out as they didn't want to dance. It was a the dance floor that many things happened. A few of us were hit on, groped, grinded and everything that could possible happen in a straight club, just that this time it is by guys. That really freaked some of us out and we felt uncomfortable and did not know what to do but froze there. My God. I didn't know these people are were so open about it. This all happened when we were dancing in a group which i believe could be attributed to the way some of us danced (esp one of the birthday boy, haha). I noticed that there were many people staring at us while we were dancing and it seemed like they were closing in on the group of us. We left the club, sweaty from the dancing, at about 2am or so.
Then we crashed
Why Not, which was a milder club, in terms of its crowd and their behaviour. But their music was more "pop" and less techno in nature, nicer to move and dance to I feel. In comparison,
Taboo had a more mature crowd and they tended to be more open and aggresive in their actions. The latter had more young people and actually looked more like a straight club as there were many girls in the club too. Over there, at least we were not touched in any places and had more fun dancing to the music. After everything, I was lucky enough to have a friend send Frankie and I home.
I must say on the whole, I enjoyed myself hanging out with my friends, dancing, drinking and all that. But the experience I had at those places was definitely a unique and memorable one. But I would not visit those places without at least 10 friends by my side. It did show me that these kind of places exist in Singapore and that the population of these people is quite a handful. Would I ever go back to those clubs? Well, maybe not. once is enough for me. (no offence to anybody)

The start of june marks a beginning of a very intense period. My reason for saying so, OCS commissioning parade, SAF Day (40th anniversary, gonna be a huge affair with lots of rehearsals). One comforting thing to know is that at least we're not involved in NDP. Otherwise, kill me. I am barely surviving the early fall ins, scorching sun, cracked lips, sarcasm and criticisms. And to top it all up, I have been feeling ill since last week. I was down with fever that hit 37.5 degree. After some panadols, the fever went away but then came the coughs which left me wheezing and chest pains. Damn. I wish I could have time to recuperate before plunging back to work but at this period, it is just too irresponsible to be reporting sick and stuff. Besides, I think my section needs people to sustain the sound. But honestly, when I take a step back and see myself thinking about such stuffs and making things almost my morale responsiblities and duties, I feel so stupid. Simply because if I were to have such thinking and care only about fulfilling my duties, who is going to stop and care about me? If this were to be at the expense of my health, I will end up the losing party, and probably even blamed for my inability to fulfill my roles. Anyway, they can always find another better trumpeter to replace me, easily. Who am I to these people? Ha, guess it is time to think for myself.
I can't wait for Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics Tour on 30 Jun at the indoor stadium. I strongly recommend everyone to go have a taste of her powerful vocals. I mean her voice and songs speak for themselves and I think it is a night worth paying for. And you should too if you're considering to go. After all, Xtina don't come to Singapore everyday, you know?
