finally, a week's over! and jus thinking about my work week, it seems lyk i've known my new colleagues for ages! we can clique so well...or at least, the guys can clique well. i'm jus there sitting down, listening to their ns stories and can't contribute much. only hear and laugh. but i did tok to them..abt other things too! so all in all, we can chat well tgt--5 guys and 1 gal.

esp with zhi wen. well, he's lyk the serious side of jia wen. nice guy. stays near my place too! so tempting to ask him out one day to go bpp jus to eat ice cream or shop. i guess i will one day! dun wanna miss the chance..i hardly get frens who live so close by me. reminds me of nigel teh. the last time, on his bday, we ate in swensons at bpp! ice cream! tat's the cool thing abt frens who lived so near you..can go home tgt too! i wonder how's he doing now. din hear frm him after prom. i hope he's alright!

so on fri, the last day of the work week, yi chen and alvin took half-day off. and leonard din turn up. so tt leaves the 3 of us--jia wen, zhi wen and myself. then the guys got quite demoralised in doing the work cos it's alot of hard work if it's only the 3 of us. so we began slacking arnd. and i tell you, it's really lyk earning free money. firstly, we jus did a little work then rest for a long time.

then, we also started playing pictionary, hang-man and bingo with each other! for one full hour! it was fun la! esp pictionary. one person gives the word, the other person draw and the last person guess. so we took turns. and jw is such a good drawer! he can draw bull so well la! very real and nice! haha. there were lots of fun and laughters! nice! and not fogetting my line: "let's play doctor-nurse-and-patient!" after seeing a black box tat looks lyk a medical box doctors in movies carry. i think i was too childish. totally not being lyk an 18-year-old teen. zw even commented on it. ha. i think i'd better stop my nonsense.

but we did do work la. pack files in. write reference numbers again. we actually packed alot of boxes though it can seem lyk we slacked alot. and i helped to carry the files too! to stop my hungry monster frm growling. plus the water monster tat jw jus gave it a name. it happens whenever i drink water or gulp air. then, my stomach will make a sound. it's so embarrassing la. tat jw hears it :S

well, from carrying all the files, my arm aches a little. boo. well, thank God i can still play the keyboard jus now. but i think if i play the piano, it'll hurt alot.

well, on thu, on the way back home, i met guan hui. i was surprised. but i'm glad we can still recognise each other. neither of us change alot. he was in full No 4 uniform. and when i saw his field pack, i knew he was in BMT. then, he told me tat he got a fever so he booked out on thu. man. i was so worried for him. i offered him a lift home (my dad drivin the car of course) but he declined. i hope he's alright by now! he was the batch tat went in on 11 jan..normal BMT sch.

on fri, i went for church prayer mtg. for the first time. not bad. was quite happy to see the turn-up of ppl frm church..well. it was not bad. jus a bit long and draggy in the front and rushing at the back. all in all, a good start to push me to pray. and thank God for the openess of the chr members to share their prayer requests so we can pray for them! i hope to make it for every prayer mtg!!

so today, i went to market with mum. to look at the clothes. then, realised there was flea market! yay! nice! =)) so hang arnd and man, my eyes jus dazzled and open big big la. esp the dresses! nice! almost bought one!

i also headed to my hair salon there. and thankfully, someone cancelled the appt and my mum called jus in time for me! so i got a haircut. was their first customer! and suddenly, this guy came in and asked iris something. and he looked super-duper familiar!! i even looked up and see his face more clearly and he do look lyk a senior of mine! i looked at him for several moments but when he looked at me, he showed no sign tat he knows me. then, while i was at the door, i paused and turned to him. i asked if he's frm ctss. so random and weird. i wonder if it took him by surprised. but sadly, he said he isn't. then i jus apologised tat i muz have mistaken and left. but i say, he really looks familiar!! i muz have met him at some camp...anyway, he looks handsome ^^

so finally. khalis commissioning parade on thu. glad that i'd hanessah's company! she really rocks! her friendliness and openness to me to share things abt herself..plus her family is really nice! even her grandparents can speak english! btw, hanessah is khalis' sister. met her once to borrow her calculator. anyway, i'm really glad to have her company. the parade was nice. thank God the rain stopped b4 it is supposed to start. and i reached there in time too.

so pics below. parade. was totally wow-ed and awed to see the marches. slow time and quick time and the small formation. never seen one right b4 my eyes b4. so took lots of photos and videos. and i got the privilege to see the dad change rank for khalis and video-ed it too :) the reception was good. and also see the LF and PL (red rhino and fire engine, in layman's term) close-up. saw the 9-storey high building. and the HUGE acid-soda fire extinguisher! plus his bunk! gotta see wad it's lyk and all. nice! not forgetting the axe presentation! they are given an axe cos in US/UK, it is an effective tool to a fire-fighter.. well, i wonder if i'll ever get a chance again. i think it's rare to have frens or even my bro to be posted to SCDF and commission as an officer!

well, i jus wanna say tat i'm happy for khalis! i really am. after seeing him throughout his entire officer course, i really feel glad when he commissions. his commission seems lyk my commission emotionally too. but i guess, my joy is nothing compared to his--after he went through fire (literally) and all the trainings and exercises! and well, all the thank-you's i've expressed to him on card already. so here, jus wanna say this: CONGRATS!!!
