Finally...

Be forewarned: This entry is going to be loooooooong.
Yes you are not dreaming. This is the english alphabet revived.
Why I blogged in Japanese
More of it evolved from Toad's instigation.. and I decided to irritate you readers a bit.. as well as to see how much of my O-Level Jap has washed down the drain.. so I started the 1st Jap entry. It proved to be rather addictive I suppose.. to be able to use the language once again.. to have no one understand what the hell I'm writing except myself.. But I must admit my command of the language is still absolutely lousy.. so admidst the occasional chinese characters (called kanji btw) are a whole lot of japanese characters (called hiragana) in a mess of grammatical errors that would trigger a real anti-ChiosBlog petition from raving Jap linguists. So lousy was my jap I can't formulate complicated thoughts accurately in the language so I put them on hold (yes to this very entry) and derogated to simple sentence structures like "I hate CEP" and "I'm studying late with Level 4 guys"... Which kinda fit the hectic schedule i have since I can't afford long blogs.. so I conveniently stuck to Jap for the subsequent few days while I mugged intensively...
42SAR ATEC
Glossary:
42SAR - 42nd Singapore Armoured Regiment.. where I was from;
ATEC - Army Tactical Evaluation Centre.. kinda a final year exam for a unit before they ORD
While I was battling it out with my pen, paper and calculator in the freezing MPSH and LTs for my mids, my buddies were out the sweating out in the unexplorerd jungles of Singapore. They ended this morning. When Daniel my Int Sergeant called me (yah I was surprised he did.. quite glad that he stills remembers me haa) to share the joy of the end of ATEC he poured out the tonnes of stories in the gruelling 4days 4nights... Well.. I'm glad it's over for them.. and the specs will be receiving their pink ICs soon... joining back the civilian world.. which also means the impending start of my reservist if I were really in the same unit as them.....
Guess the only regret I have in my army career is I didn't go through this last leg with them.
Danceworks
It's almost a week since the competition ended. We didn't win a thing. Though I thought the cheer was tremendously good. It was only a 30s thing and everything happened so fast on stage i didn't even know it ended (gosh I didn't even know it started!) but the roars and applause from the crowd was appalling.. For a moment I thought how come everyone was so on and cheering for us.. the lousily dressed (in IHG T-shirt and track pants) non-professional team. But only after watching the video by Gene then I was convinced we were really stunning.. especially the final pose... almost had the rag final pose feel. And they didn't seem to cheer for the other teams at all..
But well.. we didn't win. The dance didn't either. Neither did toad's poster. Was quite disappointed.. but well.. guess it puts and end and more effort other things more useful.. like STUDIES. Oh but Hwachong got over 3rd that day! What a stunner!!
The most breathtaking performance would by the Little White Riding Hoods (Junqiang's and Jiexiao's group.. Funkamania 1st runner up) and Knockouts (Adriene's group). The opening by the Knockouts set the tone for a potentially good dance but the sudden entry of the white hooded male dancers set the crowd cheering even more.. the moves were spectacular.. and the merging of the 2 dances (originally from funka) seemed to interweave seamlessly. Really.. that performance alone made up for all the time wasted there... yeah wasted coz we never win.
One thing worth mentioning about the cheering team by SAJC.. whoa they were sooooooooooooo cuuuuuutttteeee!!!!!! It was like hundreds of xys on stage cheering and jumping and waving pompoms shouting out whoa I almost melted into a puddle of chio on the spot. THat set my direction for the block intake - cheering girls. So while block A and block E can have all the chiobus (B and C can have the shemales).. the direction for block D will be Cheering Girls! I can imagine taking the lift up to the rooftop only to hear hoardes of girls cheering when the lift door opens at level 5. And yes.. the timing is just right.. SAJC girls.. COME TO SHEARES HALL BLOCK D!!!
Academics
Ok.. so all of you should have known I buanged by Chem Eng Princples test.. really buanged. Was terribly terribly sad that day but I guess I've gotten over it now. I just don't want to know how much I got.. just don't let it trigger sad memories.
Computing mids was bad too.. strange though I thought it was alright.. thought i might have scored well this time round for once.. but haiz. Guess the whole cohort died together. Average was 14.7 / 26 can you believe it???
Sociology today was not too bad.. studied the whole of yesterday in Business Library hoping to finish the entire syllabus but I ended up spending 2 hours debugging xy's computing lab program. So I missed out studying 1 topic entirely even before the test since it's 4 questions choose 1 it wasn't too bad. And it really wasn't.
So not I should be mugging for maths.. which I have totally zeolets an idea about.. tried doing tutorial a few days ago but ended up in a struggling mess.. But only to find out I have to present a question for Computing tutorial so it's temporarily back to the C compiler for tonight. (Yeah what's with programming always thwarting my study plans?) I hope tomorrow i'm able to bia finish the whole maths chapters. Luckily the test on sat is in the afternoon...
Money
I'm running low of it. Yes that is if I want to buy the Canon Ixus 40 on sale at the Bazaar for $690. Ok I'm tapping on my reserve account here but I'll put it back. And soon my reserve account will be non-existent anymore coz I'm dumping those hard earned money into some fund which would lock it up for 5 years and hopefully does some useful reproduction instead of being risked squandered away if it's left in my savings account.
DnD.. Chem Eng Bash.. Chem Eng DnD.. whoa how much more do I need to spend???
xy
I was filled with regret the whole of last saturday when I chose to compare answers for the computing past year questions with Jerry instead of entertaining her when she came to stand beside me before the test.. while waiting the gates of hell (MPSH) to open. But somehow everything turned for the better...
Had lunch with her on Tuesday.. and yes she's the reason why I'm suddenly abandoning my no-lunch resolution. Shall not elaborate so much here.. the rest of the world doesn't need to know.
I'm so confused now actually. Our relationship has reached a greater level in just these few days.. meeting before lecuture.. sitting together.. talking cock online.. I dare say now she doesn't feel the awkwardness at all with me now.. and it was a surprise just now when she came to look for me at the sheares bazaar after her lesson coz I told her about it.. yah then driving us to Engine for the next lecture..... and i'm totally comfortable with her and every minute of her company is just so damn intoxicating.
But it's friendship for now.. if I want it to maintain this way.
Sometimes I just feel the urge to just go all out and woo her over but I'm just too scared it'll spoil everything now.. everything now it's so.. perfect.
I really wouldn't wanna ask for more... at least for now.
I think I'm letting myself slide into the same predicament as 4th. But I can't help it.
Ok folks.. so much for the updates for now. Don't worry.. no more foreign language blogs from now.. unless I suddenly take up Punjabi or something.. haa.
Good night while i get back to programming.
