Everyday, Have a little bird on your shoulder that asks,"
Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person who I want to be?Is today the day I die?"
Only when one accepts that death is certain, then would one decide to live life differently.

==============================================================
Heys everyones! back to blog again. such an eventful week. i seriously do not know where to begin with! Prolly I shall start with a big regret about what I have typed on the previous blog entry. I think I was being too caught up wid my pent up emotions, but I have looked past those minor obscurations and believe it has brought me to higher realisations(: sadhu sadhu sadhu. If everyday I come closer to death,let everyday be a step closer towards perfecting my own mind.
I just finished my first VIP detail!! Whoots. it was not as exciting as I initially thought it would be, probably due to the fact that I was doing it mostly alone and without any prior knowledge of the roads in Singapore. Seriously, I get lost even in orchard rd, how LOUSY could one be on roads. especially when cars costs a bomb, especially in the saf. UR pocket and also UR life goes down the drain once u crash a car. expensive and u will get charged. na beh, where got worth it. stress level damn high.
My virgin vip detail was with the French. 2 COs of 2 warships just docked on the berths of Changi Naval Base. One thing I love about changi naval base is the wonderful scenery and it is sumthing worth stopping to enjoy when u're not in the army (cause you can't obstruct traffic with an MID plate) :D. I loved the mornings I had to drive from ltc to CNB. awesomely beautiful drive after exiting ECP(Changi).
My detail is a very high stressed one due to the simple fact, I HAD NO RECEE, contributing factor=> NO programme sheet, cause=> THEY DONNO WHERE THEY WANNA GO. LOLL. wth. ahahha. so unprepared, unfamiliar, and with 5 mins to prepare, i was thrown to the roads of singapore. that was the second day though. the first day i was on standby for 14 hours. WTH.
The first task they assigned to me, "morning! i need to findd.. ziss tailor.. south bridge road.. 230 south bridge road." LOL. KNN. we normally find big buildings like taka, plaza sing all that. HOW COME U ASK ME FIND A SHOP!?!?! AHAHAHAH. i couldn't help but to smile bigbig.
exiting rochor, supposed to go left to north bridge road, but missed it, went down victoria st, and HOR LAN LUH!!! AHAHAHAHA. lost like sum stupid pig. struggling with the map. na beh damn hard noe. and i was driving very slowly cause I wanted the vips to have a very comfortable ride. but it was defeated by the effort of trying to read a poorly informed map and driving in the middle lane. :D. but dropped them off @ south bridge road, erksine rd, and parked @ the carpark where i went for lunch, bought parking coupons though. :D
i didn't know the buddha tooth relic temple was behind. so i paid it a visit. circumbulating to the grand vajra throne and the thousands of devas and bodhisattvas, i felt such luck to stumble on the temple even without planning! ahahah. i prayed for a safe vip detail, well, it ended okay and well, so no complains(: and yes, the no 3 uniform looks like a security guard's and i got approached by many people asking for directions. ARGH. :D
after the tailor, they wanted to visit boat quay for lunch. planned the route and went according to plan. go small roads, i thought. so i ventured behind scarlett hotel and thru club st, and planning to go straight past a main road to another small rd, china st. AND GUESS WADDDDDDD. RENOVATION WORKS. TA MA DE. AHAHAHAHAHAHA. i was so pissed with myself. i hor lan-ded again. tried to turn, ONE WAY ROAD. AHAHAHAHAHAH. KNN. donno wad luck i got man. so hor lan until managed to reach. den i go walkwalk @ the central and all.
den after tt i horlanded all the way to plaza sing, sent one vip to orchard and flew back to cnb. the vip told me, "zis ship, reach by 5. evening going to embassy, have car to bring me. you can go home if you can." HAPPY ONI. I WANNA GO HOME. BUT. the fucking embassy cars never came. and wonderfully the two idiots, PICKED MY CAR AGAIN TO DRIVE THEM TO THE EMBASSY. heng got dennis neo to guide me. awesome chaffeur!!(: nice guy. he led the way and followed all the way till bukit timah rd. den i overtook him due to traffic restrictions and i thought, "DIE. IM IN FRONT NOW"
i remembered his briefing on just going straight, vaguely remembered about something called newton circle. so i turned into newton circle. HONG GAN LUH! AHAHAHAHA. wrong way. should go past newton circle. tmd. i hor lan one round in the round about den go back to bukit timah rd. heng(:. den managed to get into Cluny park rd!!! HAHAHA. (: yays. den thought the night was over. den dennis told me had to bring them to china club. WHERE IS A CLUB U CANNOT FIND A CLUB IN THE FUCKING STREET DIRECTORY. AHAHAHAHAH. owned. but he brought me for recee, i lost my street directory:( but i gained invaluable knowledge.(:
i successfully brought them to china club along anson rd. den they didn't keep their part of the deal. :( they asked me to wait for them. tmd. i was supposed to go back to my camp. so i waited. they promised an hour. i waited for more than an hour and a half @ the rd side. from got traffic till no traffic. from 9.30pm to 11.05pm. i sped my frigging way back to CNB. dropped them off. den flew back to ltc. I NEEDED MY SLP. i had to still top up my vehicle. sighs.
den next day. they told me beforehand, "tml china town and mandai zoo". when they got into my car, they laughed and smiled sheepishly, "we changed plans." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH KNNB CCB PCB. LOLLLLLLLLL. i couldn't help it. i shook my head and LAUGH. :D but they were nice to plan my route for me. telling me where to take and all. hor lan a bit oni. but expat alr. got prior knowledge from the night b4. :D and the vips were very nice to me.
took them to sim lim (simple, straight rd oni after rochor) den to funan digilife (bua kerb:() den to takashimaya. den they said, "uncomfortable with you working on weekend. your job ends today. go home after this. HAPPY ONI. AHAHAHAHA. but go back camp very sian. i had to do the fucking RO. after my detail i was dead tired. dx6 still picked on me. tmd chao chee bye. but i was too tired to argue. went up bunk to take my stuff, den i flew back home via cab.
saturday was a lazy day. so tired. had breakkie with family den went imh for ward visits. discussion about proj M. den made a new clique of friends!! (: benedict, zixin, eugene, xinjia, aricia and me! :D i tink we should give clique name soons man. tmd. :D. damn ALIKE know! i never had such experience in my life. one group of like minded people, mixing a concoction of friendship based on trust, on beliefs, based on our similarities. I LOVE MY NEW CLIQUE(: it was a v day well spent as clique hung out @ vivo and enjoyed dinner, chatting, nat geo and all. wonderful. (: perfect wkend.
