U only left 3 mths.

Okay...

You have contracted a terminal disease that is incurable and you will die... (CHOY!)
Would you prefer to know when you will die OR be left with a lingering doubt on ur future?

Well, for me, I will definitely wana know when I will die. Least I can plan what to do for the remaining days of my life prior to my death date. Pay respects to my elders, parents, siblings, go out with my closest friends, do things I won't usually do, and enjoy my life to the fullest with my loved ones. What will you do?

Okay, or maybe some of us are too afraid to know when we will die. But would it be any better than to know when you will die from the terminal disease? Seriously, I don't think so. Becoz you simply can't plan or even simply maximize your time left to spend while you are still alive.

Haha, don't press the panick button yet my friends, I'm perfectly fine at this moment, not that I have contracted some terminal disease or whatever. So don't need flood me with messages and coffin purchase contracts. LOL.

This disease that I mentioned above, is just a metaphor for me to describe the National Service which we, Singaporean BOYS, are required to go through. People seem to make a big fuss about it, somehow making sound like some sort of disease which make you seem 'dead' on enlistment date, and 'released' on weekends. And when your 'sentence' (Why sentence? Coz some friends make it sound like going to jail. LOL) is over, it's kinda like 'rebirth', isn't it? Haha...

My current situation happens to fall in the latter category mentioned in my first paragraph. I got my revised Pes status. From pending to B. Why cant the personnels at CMPB do a better job by immediately informing me of my situation, than to allow it to drag until my 1st further reporting order. And they then tell me I am required to check my body again, notably my heart, 3 mths later. If they could have told me on the day of my medical checkup (Becoz they diagnose and inform immediately to others), I would have saved 1 extra mth of waiting time.

Thinking that me having got my Pes status, I should have an enlistment date tagged to me. So I called up and enquired, only to fall into a deep disappointment. The customer service personnel informed me it would usually take abt 6 to 9 mths after my last medical checkup. With a little simple calculation, May + 6 Mths = November. So by right, I will be entering that batch.

Then again, my colleague told me that polytechnic intakes belongs to June, July, September and October. Which could possibly mean that I MAY be enlisted in October, because I passed my NAPFA test.

And with my unconfirmed date, I am not able to convince potential employers as they all feel I may be called up anytime. Which is simply no ideal to them due to the time spent in training me for the tasks.

Friends whom knows me well knows that I love planning my schedules ahead. Given my case now, it's quite bad for me as I cant really see the light at the end of the tunnel.

CMPB says they will let enlistees know 2 mths in advance before their enlistment. Seems NOT. I have a friend, whom if I have not mistaken, have to call up CMPB to enquire his own enlistment date. To his pleasant, or maybe unpleasant surprise, he will be enlisted coming July. Bearly a month left to plan what he is gonna do.

So what's worse than death is not knowing when you will die. So if you are lamenting over your 'death day', think again, you can at least plan your time nicely before you 'die'. While me? I needa take things a step at a time. Totally not my style! Arghz!

Life in my new company is pretty slow paced.
Do get busy at times though.
Customers do complain about company policies and functions of the hp.
What to do...? Nothing.. Just serve with a smile..

Now trying to pia my driving...
1k now left $110... haha...
i wonder how many lessons i needa book sia...

Just an update on church activities...
There was an Amazing Race...
I was teamed up with Elin and others...
Unexpectedly we got 1st place! Woohoo! $70 worth of swensens voucher...
We used it to buy an ice-cream cake for our church frens...
Tot of getting 2 cakes... which will cost abt 35 cents more...
But in the end bought the big cake... and Elin came out the rest of about $10...
Generous + Rich girl eh Elin? Haha..

Also had a night cycling with my church frens and James and Zheng Guang..
B4 we reached Pasir Ris Park, Elin had a collision with James...
Poor girl.. If i was her... I would hv been lying dead on the road...
Quite bad collision i would say.. and somemore the bike was over her.. tsktsktsk..
But Elin power sia... or isit stubborn sia? Hahaha.. :P Manage to ride the entire journey..

When we arrived at Pasir Ris Park, we were splitted into 8 teams... my team has got Elin, Rebecca, James and Zheng Guang...
Basically they gave us a set of questions and from the questions, derive the location and search for the objects which are in the park...

"I'm a minotaur and i stay in there... go to the center and find Thomas Edison's invention... count the number of bolts and nuts"

Something like this kind of question...

So we headed to the maze... because minotaur lives in a labyrinth according to my ancient greek knowledge... Reb and Elin were rather afraid.. coz it's rather dark u see..

Thank you to Sun Microsystems for the harness (sp?) cum torch light gift... the guys and i are able to complete the maze with a few challenges like crazy insects hitting us... and spider webs...

So we completed some questions in 30mins and headed back to the meeting point... that's when i thought i was hungry... then minutes later.. my stomach begin to hurt so much i can bearly moved not to mention cycling... readers must be thinking gastric.. cant be.. coz we ate buns prior to the commencement of the game.. needa thanks the aunties who graciously bought food for all of us... so kind of them.. and what happened to me? i sat in the church van while the rest cycled on..

while on our way back to east coast park.... the place we met b4 the start of the activity.. It was Reb's turn to fall.. seems bad.. anyway.. heard that she have problem healing.. God bless la.. :) hope no infection..

when all of us are at McDonald's... the top 3 prize were announced.. surprisingly our team got 2nd... and we were given a bonus 30 points becoz we completed the maze.. which was considered scary becoz it's dark..

what we won for ourselves? $15 worth of McDonald's voucher... thus abt 50% of our breakfast is covered by the prize voucher.. hehe... after our meal.. I am so lucky that Daniel stays near clementi area.. btw.. Daniel's from NP@BS... same yr as me.. first he sent Velda and this duno who girl home... Northvale at CCK.. then he sent me home.. hehe..

and previous sunday, it was Bethesda Chapel vs Zion Living Steam.. soccer match at marine parade.. the BBQ area.. hehe.. we won 5-1... Samuel grabbed a hat-trick courtesy of the opposition's goalie... one guy even grabbed my chest to shoulder area during the match.. haha.. and my objective for that game was to not fall down at all... guess what.. i made it.. haha..

after that game, i had another game for my club.. i must admit i'm kinda tired after that.. but i made a promise to play.. 1st half we were leading 2-1... second half we lost flat.. becoz we had no real defenders... that game was a pretty bad tempered game... i was tackled down but this defender.. i guess i let out a scream.. then my team mate rushed towards the defender.. like almost fight sia.. phew..

ok guys.. that's enuff to blog... 18june = my mum's bday.. dun think got any plan on that day la.. but got work till 2pm.. haha..





yes, thank you Elin for vetting my blog entry of spelling mistakes and errors i made.. haha...

Dreams.... Everyone has dreams...
Let's talk abt a dream i had today..

I was in this scene... Me, Lionel, Lebbeus and a few others are taking their O lvl English paper together... We were in the classroom.. Lionel and Lebbeus told me i needed a newspaper cuttings for one of the section... I panicked a little... then Lebbeus helped me with the cuttings... abt NS one.. -.- after awhile.. the classroom seems to be my house... as i took a newspaper and cut it.. saying something like.. "this is my house la.. nvm.. juz take the paper n cut cut"

okay.. so im prepared for the paper with my newspaper cuttings.. then the teacher ask me to go out and call those people outside.. i went out.. saw Esther, Jaclyn, Manpreet and a few others there... they were busy writing the article of their selected cuttings... so i called them alllllll in...

next thing i know.. i had to go to the loo.. i shut the door.. and yet people can still me peeing... Shesh... so embarassing.. must be the wooden door lined gaps...



Back to reality...
Went to IT Fair on Sunday.. nothing much to see la... But there also have Sports Sale... Too bad there isnt any soccer related items there...

After the IT fair.. went for soccer training... the club seems to be breaking up.. now i know why they say morale is low.. gotta do something..

Training session is more meaningful and fun now... mayb becoz we hv a licensed coach training us... good job Shahul! Got a new 16 yr old keeper too.. seems pretty agile.. can really leap here n there... juz needa add the height.. and his distribution.. then it will be great..

Hand a 2 side game.. which i fell down and injured my left wrist again... duno why all of them thought someone stepped on my hand.. lol... mayb there is.. but i juz didnt feel it.. lol.. haha.. got to know this Clement guy.. a malaysian.. 21 yr old.. working at HP wor.. looks like Lionel's brother... Leonard.. haha..
okay.. so i went for an x-ray.. knew it wasnt a fracture or dislocation... tendon tear la i think... inside inside one... out for 2 weeks min... and max 2 mths.. GEE..

Hmm..

It's been a long time since i last post a msg...
Anyway... Sabah...

What happens in Sabah shall be memories and secrets kept with me...
Such intimacy deserves the privacy it should have...

These few days I have been feeling super negative, down, demoralized, not motivated and moody... Maybe because I feel life is rather direction-less at this current moment... some kind of emotional void feeling... simply not delicious to taste..

Called up CMPB a few days ago and asked them when is my enlistment, SIGH.. they say still pending... This means I still cant see the end of the tunnel at the moment...
Hopefully I can get enlisted by october...

Before i start my flamings... I have a golden sentence for all of u readers..
No one is perfect. If you want to pick someone's flaw, it will be endless. Learn to see the beauty of someone and accept their flaw.

Oh yah, one thing about Keith is that he doesnt like people to insult his family nor his friends... Why i say this... okay... see this extract below..

conversation between ABC and XYZ on JKL

ABC: U still got go out with JKL
XYZ: *Shows lan jiao bin (Lan jiao face)*
XYZ: Eeeeewwww...


Okay... so IF u think u r the one.. i think u need to do a certain degree of self reflection.. afterall... JKL has been treating you rather good...

Finally, I wish to say something to those who dun really know me well, and yet has heard quite a few things from others... seeing is believing... being narrow minded and yet believing to one side of the story, is like sentencing a suspect without trial, to death...

There's people who says I'm cunning... and people who says I'm a flirt...
And I know who's the one who fucking started the "Keith is YING" thing...
Seriously... how do you define cunning? I dun do anything behind people's back to injure them.. I dun plot against people... I just plan the path I want to take...

and for people who says I'm flirt... i duno... im always friendly to most people.. boys or girls...im not a sexist who is lusting for female attention only.. im more of a communication person who likes to socialize... yes... i do have close female friends like elin, wendy, jaclyn, esther and jasmine...

and yes.. i also heard some girls are actually scared of me... why? i duno.. coz they nvr confront me... mayb im too friendly? or mayb becoz of that one incident which i think they think i am fucking taking advantage of her juz becoz i grabbed her hand or whatever fuck... btw.. the reason i fucking grab her hand is becoz we were in a race.. and i fucking dun wana waste time hearing screams and standing still yet not moving... no one wants to lose a race...

so if u feel that i am cunning and that i am a flirt... feel free to confront me.. i will sort things about amiably... like i said.. i am a communication person...
