the secret of the world ; is written in the stars

don't let someone become a priority in your life
when you are just an option in theirs

words of wisdom ; will you heed them ?

3 down , many many more to go !

2nd bookout ,

it's been a rather slack week , due to some issues ...
i felt like i wasted half my time in camp ...
which is somewhat true ...

been zoning out alot since i booked out ...
as if i've got nothing on my mind to even think about ...
or perhaps i've just denying it ...

ht told me :
" when you think of nothing , you're really thinking of something you're trying not to think of "

i guess that might be true , but at this point in time , my mind is still drawing a huge blank.

3 weeks into NS , and i've realized so many things ,
about what my friends have been talking about ,
i've always chided them for being negative and all ,
but as an NSF now , what they've been talking about has come back to haunt me ,
as i myself now harbour thoughts similar to theirs ,
try as i might ,
everyday is a battle between trying to be positive and do my best
or being negative and just trying to get along with the program .

when you're really tired , sometimes , you just want things to get over and done with.

in other news ,
find out some things i'd rather not have found out , or rather would rather have heard the information from other sources , but what will be , will still be , so there ...
can't say i'm not disappointed that i was left out of the loop and just left to my own devices to find out about it though ...

booking-in again tmr.
time to once again be isolated from the outside world.

the basis of life can be summarised in three words. it goes on .

back for a while ...

1st BOOKOUT !!

and I've got to bookin tomorrow at 2015.
Not alot of time , but better than nothing.

so the first two weeks of confinement and BMT have passed.
so much has happened , so much has changed .

made new friends , adopted a new lifestyle , attempting to adapt.

after hearing of firsthand accounts from many friends who have gone through BMT , it still doesn't prepare you for the moment when you hit the ground.

even though I'm in a Mild Obese Coy , it's still quite tough , discipline is not compromised , and they treat us like slightly less tougher that a PTP batch I suppose.

if not ... than i wonder how those in PTP and enhanced suffer !!

gonna head out in a while ,
catch up with friends and such

write more later .

Added the Twitter Widget on the left of the Bar , so you can see that too .

Well , this is it .

Goodbye Aiky.

Hello Recruit Ng.

and you still don't know

have come gone ~!

and the last three days were kinda the best (:

2nd June 2009 , Tuesday

celebrated Liana's 21st at Carousel @ Royal Plaza on Scott's

most ex and most interesting spread of dishes (in Singapore at least) that i've been to !

pictures are mostly on Facebook , only the good ones of course ;)

the desserts were TO DIE FOR !

met up with Willy later on to take shots are Marina Barrage ,
got to play with his *mouthwatering* equipment while he played with my louya lens and WAA ,
lol

3rd June 2009 , Wednesday

long long long day out .

morning bowling
with Kel , Nick and Fabian
was on an average form so nothing outstanding.

ice-skating in the afternoon ,
Yee Teng and Daryl joined us.
it was really fun , as the other guys didn't really know how to skate / skate well ;)
enjoyed going round and taking shots with D5K on ice !
played with the Video Recording and LCD Swivel Combo
impressed with the functionality !

Dinner was my suggestion and I made the mistake of suggesting a far off place.
Like EXTREMELY far off. How far off ? Changi Village .
We took nearly 2 hours to get there which by than , everyone was starving =/
My bad =d

Took a stroll after dinner at the beach , the very same beach that I'll be looking longingly at for the next 4 months ... Hahahaha

Anyway pictures are on Picasa , I've emailed the link out already people !
If any of them even read my blog ... Hahaha !

4th June 2009 , Thursday

Spent the entire day at home ,
packing ,
slacking ,
as if it's just any other day
just the way i like it :D

Had YongTauFoo from my fav store for lunch (:

So , it's DDay in just a few short minutes .

Oh and I've just signed up for Twitter !

http://twitter.com/AikyLeng

just a few more to go

3 whole days of freedom left.
people are starting to ask how i feel ,
whether i'm prepared and so on.

frankly , it's just another milestone of life.
as a Singaporean , Male.

I'm not excited , nor am I in a state of extreme distress , or as some put it ; sianzation .

and frankly ; in my current state , i couldn't be happier !

in the past few weeks , i've lived life the way i wanted ,
and i would love for it to go on and on and on ,
but all good things must come to an end ,
and it's not like my NS days are a bad thing right !!!

so what have i been up to , that's not already on Facebook ?

quite a bit , been quite lazy to upload my photos on facebook !!

hahaha !

let's continue where i left off the last time

(note , you should skip this post ENTIRELY , if you're in a hurry , this is like just for my reference :x )

Monday, May 18th 09

Caught Angels and Demons with Kelvin , Fabian , Kenny , Suhar , Daryl and Nick.
Played some L4D while waiting for Tricia to join us for dinner ,
and I'll always remember Nick for throwing a Molotov at me with full hp causing us to NOT complete Mercy Hospital.
Had dinner at Astons , had the iEatSuperBurger , AGAIN !

Thursday, May 21st 09

Met up with almost the same group of people as Monday , minus Suhar and Tricia , plus Yee Teng , for an excursion to the Science Center !
*note henceforth this group shall be known as Kel and Gang*

LOL !!
It's been some time since I've been there !
But nothing much has changed . In other words , had I been there myself , it would have been extremely boring lar ... But I wasn't , so it wasn't (:

Had fun taking shots , as can be seen from 3 albums worth of shots on Facebook.
More than that were taken of course ;)

The DaVinci exhibit was quite disappointing , cost quite a bit , and we couldn't take pictures in there ... so booo =/

Dinner at IMM , Ajisen Ramen , will upload photos to the food album soon.

Friday , 22nd May 09

Went for Facial with Mummy at Spa Valley at Orchard.
Went to meet daddy for lunch after that.

Went home to grab the car and pick up Bro and Sis and went bowling at Kallang.

Went to meet Dianny for dinner , at Vivo .
Couldn't catch a movie as almost everything was sold out till , after midnight -.-".
Sent her home then went to town.
Met Nick KH Yvonne and others after they finished their dinner at NYNY at CityLink , just to chill for a while.
Went on home.

Saturday , 23rd May 09

Woke up at 6ish to go to the beach to take some sunrise shots.
Quite disappointed with majority of the shots , it's probably the cameraman ; me
Gotta learn more and practice more !!

Met up with Xiang and Shuwei at 12ish at Paya Labar.
Cause I had a heavy breakfast , I passed on lunch , while they had Mos Burger.
Chilled out at Starbucks to kill some time before the concert.

What concert ?

Distant Worlds ; Music From Final Fantasy

An excellent concert !!
And very well worth my 17 Bucks , student price ;)

Went back to Xiang's place for the family BBQ ,
prior to BBQ , i was busy practicing and shooting stuff.
Ended up with lots of repeats ... Hahaha ...

caught a movie and a half on Uncle Jimmy's Home Theater System ,
and just chilled ~

Sunday, 24th May 09

Chilled out with Ks and Johnnie at Marina Square in the afternoon.
Bowled at what I would describe as the MOST CUI bowling alley i've ever been to in Singapore.

the last time we gather for dinner before I enter the army.
Food was so so ~

The food was so so , probably cause it was filled to capacity ...
