Down Memory Interchange

The day started with breakfast at Ya Kun at Compasspoint, casually reading today's papers. It's Hari Raya today so its a public holiday! Then we went to buy contact lenses and since we were at the shop, I finally decided that the people were nice enough to help me make a set of new glasses. Ended up changing my glasses AND making a pair of reading glasses. All for less than my transition glasses years ago. Total was $329 which the wifey paid for! Thanks for the early Christmas pressie dear! Hee! On top of that, we got a free $20 voucher and a Sesame Street umbrella!

Then we decided to head to the Singapore Expo, where SITEX was held, by bus. There wasn't any direct bus to the Expo from Sengkang, so we took the next best option, Bedok. And bus number 87 took us there, interchange to interchange. Bus ride was 40minutes in total.

Wah, when we reached Bedok interchange, it felt like I was taken back to my secondary school days. Hardly anything has changed over there, the whole place still looks the same, crowded as ever. In fact things got so nostalgic that we decided to eat there! The old mutton soup stall was there, the chwee kuay stall was there, even the Hollywood dessert stall auntie was the same! Still long queue somemore! Delicious stuff.

Afterthat we took the MRT to the Expo. Wah, it was so so so crowded man. People mountain, people sea. Took us almost 15mins just to walk to the first hall. Managed to buy what I wanted: a Toshiba 320GB portable harddisk. In fact we even almost bought an auctioned LG TV! Full HD, free wall-mounting, free DVDplayer, free trolley, all for $599! Super cheap right?! Amazing. But somehow it was fated that we didn't buy it. :)

Then it was so crowded on the way back that we took the train up to Changi Airport instead. Walked around for awhile before taking a taxi to the parents place. Then we went to Marine Terrace for dinner and finally back home.

What a fruitful day.

2012

Just caught the show. Damn kuazhang, but then I've always been a sucker for disaster movies. Just don't bring your brain to the theatre. And I really don't think the arks could survive the tsunamis anyway. Maybe a space station on the Moon could've been more plausible.

Nothing much else to update.

Knee still abit unstable. Will need to do more runs and more soccer games under my belt. Maybe some cycling in th gym might help.

On leave next week!

Lousy Game At Tering Bay

Ended up last even with our -18 handicap. Had a really rotten game and somehow I didn't like the course that much. Hoping to have a better game soon. Ended up with a score of one under.

Can't wait for payday.

The Longest Week

Never been a big fan of reservist.

Every morning wake at 6am, today booking out the earlist so far, at 7pm. Last 2 days were at 9pm. Wahlao. Just one week and yet it feels like a whole month.

All the time in camp spent stuck in the Ops room. With no internet and not even handphone signal. My only source of information is an over-read copy of Monday's Today paper.

But focusing on the positives...

I hardly spent a cent all week (great for my super savings plan).

I've been eating extremely healthy meals (yes, all three plus night snack) all week.

I get to catch up with all my good friends from my unit.

I've cleared my IPPT for this year!

I've never been fitter in the last 5 years.

And finally, I'm probably going to New Zealand next year!

On Reservist Next Week

Damn xianz, gotta go for reservist whole of next week with a compulsory book-in timing of 0630. Tentative book-out time is 9pm.

Wtf man.

Sigh.

I think I'm really growing older. Body not catching up liaoz.
