It is weird when the sky turns dark so early in the afternoon. In Singapore, the sky only turns dark at around 7pm year round. In Montreal, during summer it turns dark at 7.30pm. In winter, 4.30pm. Considering that on days without school I will wake up at around lunch time, I only get around 4 to 5 hours of sunlight each day. Haha. The weather is also weird too. Last week, it was between -5 to 5.

The school brought us to see the Olympic Park where Montreal held the 1976 Summer Olympics. In my opinion, the place looks worn down. Nothing has been done to update the place and walking around the place feels like going back to the eighties.The highlight of the place is a cable car ride up to the observatory deck where the view was excellent, over looking the whole of Montreal city and

When to Mount Royal Park to take a look. The locals will gather in this park during the weekend to get some sunshine. I saw some interesting things at the park. There was a group of people who were dressed up as ancient knights and were role playing some "dungeon and dragon" fight scene. The contumes were all home-made and were done pretty nicely. There were a few who had bows, arrows and shields

The whole house decided to head down to chinatown to have breakfast and to stock up on essential food stuff. I had century eggs and meat porridge which was quite good. After that we went to a chinese supermarket to buy sauces (such as Lee Kum Kee oyster sauce, soya sauce, sesame and cooking oil) and instant noodles. The price were very reasonable compared to the western supermarkets around our

Today was the first day of orientation and the school really is hosting many international students. There were like close to 200 exchange students this semester. Most of the students come from South America and Europe. We has some tour of the 2 school buildings, games and some interactions. The orientation will go on for the next few days with trips to the beach and city tour. Also, the school

With a 0600 departure to Tokyo, my parents and I headed to the airport at around 0400. Check-in security was very tight with strict limitation to baggage weight.

A few months back, the National Parks Board announced that it is now possible to walk from Mount Faber Park to West Coast Park with the completion of 2 new bridges, Henderson Waves and Alexandra Arch. After hearing good reviews from my friends, I decided to go and check it out for myself. I had nothing to do on a Saturday afternoon and called Josephine along for this nature walk.I parked my car

After a year stuck in Singapore, I finally got the chance to go overseas. Singapore is really too small. I am currently in Hong Kong for those who still don't know. The weather here is way better than in Singapore. The cooling, windy weather here is better than the hot and humid weather back home.I am lucky to get to have a chance to fly business class.

Came across this interesting article by the New York Times. They have put together a graphical representation of the major business transactions. Look at how many companies and how much money Singapore has invested in other foreign banks. At least we know where the money we paid for income tax and GST is going to. Let's just hope that these investments will generate positive rates.

Don't have anything to talk with regard to myself so I decided to review a movie that I recently watch.I watched "The Bee Movie" last week on DVD. I didn't catch the movie when it was on the big screen because I didn't hear much good reviews about it. When I was free last week and had the DVD, I thought to myself, "why not". Overall, I thought that the movie was relatively good. The animation

A little late with this week's blog posting so I will get straight to the point.I was at Paragon on Tuesday and saw an interesting display of lion dance. The performance was in an up-market watch shop, "Yafriro". The interesting part was that the shop owners had six lions in the shop which wasn't very big. So six lions were crammed into the small shop and the lions weren't really dancing. They

If you intend to watch "Cloverfield", STOP! This is a film you really should give a miss. "Cloverfield" is a movie about a creature invading New York City. What is unique about this movie is the way it was filmed. The story is told through the viewpoint of a video camera. Anyone who has motion sickness will not be able to watch through the entire movie as the images are jerky and unstable.Image

Finally, a break from school. It is week 8 and that is recess week. Time really flies. I have been a student for nearly 6 months. School is okay. I wouldn't say it is great but it beats working and serving national service. Also, I'm finally 21. No longer a minor. I can now sign legally binding contracts, which is good I guess. I hope to show some photos here soon.I am doing some relief teaching

Apparently, this figure is suppose to look like me. See any similarities to me? I don't. It is a gift from my parents for my upcoming 21st birthday.

I know that it has been a long time since I last posted. I had an enjoyable birthday this year. I didn't get a birhtday cake for the first time. Don't know if i should be happy a not. On one hand, I know that I'm too old for a birthday cake. But on the other, I really love to eat birthday cake and make a wish. I when to Genting with my mum, uncle and auntie. Had a great time.

Had a very eye-opening day today. I was asked to escort three people to DB today. For those who don't know, DB (Detention Barrack) is equal to our civilian prison. I really pity one guy. He is a driver from is mt (motor transport) line. He is going in because of his helpfulness. When my OC issued him the charge order, there was tears in his eyes. I really wonder if he deserve his punishment. As

Tomorrow is national day. Singapore's birthday. I have driving detail tomorrow. On one hand, it sucks, but on the other, it is a once in a lifetime experience to be involved in the NDP. This year, I will be playing a small but vital role in the success of the NDP. It has been a long time since I saw the parade live. I cannot wait for the fireworks tomorrow night. This will be the most wonderful

I'm feeling very low now. Having a mixture of emotions that I cannot control. I'm sad, confused, alone. The changes in my life is putting a toll on myself. New camp, new unit, new friends, new unknowns. Why now? I have been through these situations before but why can't I handle them now? Am I too comfortable where I am now? Maybe.. Where are my friends when I need help? Busy with their lives I

Got my new posting today. i'm posted to 3rd div HQ CMTL which is at Jurong Camp. Don't kow whether to be happy or sad. The camp is very near my house but the irony is that Jurong camp is a stay-in unit. :(Today is the first day that I'm a Transport Supervisor. After 10 weeks of training, I finally graduated with my fellow course mates. Looking back, I really had an enjoyable time with all the

These photos were taking on my cousin's birthday. Look carefully and you will see that the cake is a 3-D barbie doll! Haha. Of course only the dress part could be eaten. Why wasn't there such cakes when I was a kid? Maybe i could have a 3-D big bird cake! Haha. Are you jealous? I know I am.

Being out into the wilderness these few weeks. Learned and put into practise those things that i have learned during the classroom lessons. The outdoors training was physically taxing and mentally challenging to both my course mates and myself but we still managed to put through. Thinking back, we had a great time. All the scolding and quarrelling with each other when our camoflauge net had

Been so long since I properly blogged. Couldn't say that I was very busy. Just that life everyday is pretty much the same. Wake up at six, go to camp, start classes at eight... blar blar blar... one more month to go before end of course. can't wait for that day to come. Time really passes very quickly. Friends who are enlisted on april are about to pass out from BMT already.I have accepted NUS

Sometimes when people are too free and have nothing to do, they can come up with some weird ideas to pass time. My friends called each other on the phone when they are sitting less than 10m apart."Hello""Hi""What you doing?""Nothing"....

Long time since I blogged. I have finally completed my driver course and obtain my military driving license. I'm quite happy about it but will be even more happy if it was a civilian driving license. I'm the best trainee for my group. This came to me as a surprise. Didn't except to get best trainee at all cause I know there are plenty of people who are better drivers than me. I know that one of

That is my vocation. I'm now posted to Sembawang Camp, Supply and Transport Centre, Transport Training Wing. Have been doing nothing these two weeks but I will be starting my driver course next Monday. I will be staying in for 5 weeks because of this course. Cannot believe that I will be driving a 3 tonner. I have to complete 4 different courses before I can officially be a Transport Supervisor.

Finally able to update my blog on my short holiday to Hong Kong. Had a great time in HK. Enjoy great food from dian xing to baked cheese lobster. (Yummy!!) Stay in my auntie's house. She is staying on the 58th floor! Unbelievable right! The condos goes up to 70 floors. Wonder how are the residents going to cope if all the lifts break down. Haha. Got to learn something new.

I will be leaving for Hong Kong tomorrow. Will be away til sun (20/3). If want anything from HK can sms me. I'm bringing my phone along. Went to the army's lion trail thingy today. It was a national education trip talking about the japanese occupation. I think it was a total waste of time. The guide was an old, old man and he was talking at a very slooowwww pace.

7 weeks of BMT is over! I am on leave until the 20nd of March. I will be going to Hong Kong (again) for holiday from the 15th to the 20nd. My posting will only be released on the 18th. Being a slacker, hopefully it will be a 9-to-5 job in an aircon environment. Haha. Will my platoon mates be posted to the same unit? Got a strange dream that I was posted to the navy at Tuas Navel Base. Foresight?

Gotten back my 'A' level results yesterday and gotten what i expected. A for maths, B for physics and C for economics. B4 for General Paper. On a whole, JJC's results improved, which was surprising. Some of my JC and secondary school friends underperform this time round. But my army mates all have gotten excelent results. The top student from our batch came from my platoon. I was so shocked to

March 9, my passing out day. Where will I be posted to? I don't know. BMT has taught me many things, learning to shoot a rifle, throwing a live grenade, foot drills, field camp, etc. i feel that I have grown during these past few weeks. I must admit that not all days were enjoyable and fun.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone. Hope you will have a great and wonderful year ahead. I am enjoying my long break. I will book in only on Sunday night! Chinese New Year is a bit quiet for me this year. More time is spent resting. Haha. Okay, I'm very lazy... The last few weeks in the army has taught me a lot. I learned to be more humble. Before, I used to think that I was slightly above average.

Most of my friends are entering the army these few days. Chia Wei and Daryl today. Gary, Kok Haw and Bing Yao tomorrow. Ben next week. For me, I still have 2 more weeks. All of us are leaving behind our civilian lives and taking on military lives. Hmmm... To see all of us in army uniforms and with toilet-brush heads will be interesting.

Can't put it down once you started. Nothing much to update anyway.. Still the same....

Hung out with the bigbird gang yesterday. As usual, all of them were late. I was the earliest and I waited for 45 mins. Anyway, we caught the movie "Blade Trinity". I did not watch the first movie unlike my friends. Not being a fan of vampire, I did not expect too much from the movie. And true enough, I was not disappointed but the long and draggy scenes. However, I must agree that the action

When to catch "Shutter" at Plaza Singapura with Chia Wei and Gary yesterday. Had a great time together. It is nice to meet up and chat about stuff. Cannot believe that it has been 2 years since we all graduated from secondary school! The movie was okay. The storyline was quite weak. And reading the subtitles might be a little touble some.

Great movie! Relieve all the stress build up in the "a" levels. The animation done by Pixar was great... Maybe a little to good until one feels giddy after watching the whole movie... Or maybe it is because i'm sitting too close to the movie screen... whatever... the plot was not too bad.. exciting moments throughout the movie makes The Incredibles much more fun too watch. 3.5/5 popcorns

After 2 years of kindergarden education, 6 years of primary education, 4 years of secondary education and 2 years of tertiary education, here i am. With the last physics paper completed and submitted, the 'a' levels have offically ended. Sadly, I don't feel happy. Relieved maybe but not happy. This is the first point in my 18 years of life where I am uncertain of my future. It used to be easy.

This is one of the shows I'm catching now. It is a major hit in the US and they will be airing season 2 this week. Singapore is currently showing season one, every week on Thursday at ten. It is coming to the end of the season already. There is no word whether Channel 5 is showing season 2. I hope so... The show is based in Orange County in California. It is a region where the rich and famous

National Novel Writing Month - National Novel Writing Month Came across this site when reading one of my friends blog. I cannot believe that people around the world get together in Nov to write a 50,000 word novel. Yes, you heard me. A 50,000 word novel. Unbelievable right. At least these people are practising English. Can it be considered literature? I don't know. Anyway, maybe I will try

after 12 years of studies, it has come down to today. The 'A' level exams which start today. All the long nights and stressful mermorising will be put to the test in the next 3 weeks. Good Luck to everyone who is taking the exams. This is the time to shine!

After a long and tiring battle, it is now down to the state of Ohio. With 20 electoral votes, the winner of this state will also be the president of the United State for the next 4 years. I attached the latest map to show you the results (if you have not already known). Red for Bush and Blue of Kerry. The number of votes this election was also record-breaking, which is not surprising. I think all

One of the major political events of the world will be happening this week. It is the US presidential elections. If you do not know any thing about this issue, where have you been? Well, the fight between Kerry and Bush will be a close one, with both sides having a great number of supporters. If I can vote, I will be voting for Kerry. In my opinion, Bush did not do well during his term as a

Went to Suntec to watch "Ladder 49" today. It was a great movie, paying tribute to all the firefighters around the world who put their lives on the line of duty everyday to save lives. The movie did not take any dull moments. The flashback method used by the director might put people off as it made the movie just a little confusing. The only down side is that there was no happy ending. Well, if

I have a close friend who has a problem voicing out his opinion. And i often wonder if it is so difficult to voice your own opinion. just state which side you are on and why. Simply right! If you cannot voice your opinion then you cannot comment or discuss.. then how are you going to get high marks for your essay and case-study? what the hell.. it is his problem not my. :P

Sleepers by Loreanzo Carcaterra An unforgettable true story of friendship, loyalty and revenge. Lorenze, Micheal, john and tommy shared everything- the laughter and the bruises of an impoverished childhood on New York's violent West Side. Until one of thier pranks misfired and they were sent to a reformatory school. Twelve months of systematic mental, physical and sexual abuse left the boys

No one who, in his or her wildest imagination, believes that something like this can happen. But on 11 September 2001, it happened. The terrorist attack at the World Trade Center Building in America resulted in many lives lost. After that day, the world was no longer the same place. It was longer a safe place. It was to be a major turning point in the fight against terrorism. Today, three years

Going back to my secondary school to visit my ex-teachers also gave me a chance to catch up with some of my ex-classmates... remembering days in Jurongville and the many pranks and mischief we have done made me realise how happy were my days in Jurongville...

All the Olympic fever has got me thinking... Is the world a cruel place to live in? We only get one chance in everything we do... no matter how good you are during practises, if you fail in the actual competition, you will not get a second chance... all that matters is your performance in the competition... even if you are too sick, too tired or injured on the actual competition... Are you too

As I tune in to the Singapore Idol now, i wonder... Is it a total waste of our time? The singers are really disappointing.... sad but true... do we really want an idol with weak vocals? the judges really try too hard to sound like their american counterpartss... the budget for the show seems to be too little.... the stage seems old and lack a sense of creativity.... it does give me an impression
