My Evolution

Twenty In A Foreign Land

2009-02-21T22:46:00.000-08:00

I'm 20 years old today and it feels so surreal celebrating my birthday so far away from family and friends...
Let's just put it as a very "mild" birthday celebration involving my fellow colleagues at a club (or two..)
It's been 3 months since I've been here and all these 3 months have been very ****ing turbulent for me.
Early this month, I had no choice but to leave someone's apartment after moving in with her for a month.
Let's just put it as she's more interested in my wallet than anything else...
It was totally a wtf moment packing my stuff and leaving the apartment at 3 in the morning and leaving her asleep...
Sianz...
All I want is life as it was:
Weekends,
Family..
All those things which have been taken away from me eversince last April...
I can't wait to be a civilian again...

You guys back home are so lucky...
You guys will never have to:
1. know how sucky it is to be working on a beautiful saturday/sunday
2. have lost touch with the concept of weekends
3. look up at the night sky and wonder if your family/friends are looking up too, thinking of you
4. walk ALONE, in a foreign land, so far away...

After reading up on the grades requirements for local uni, I seriously feel even more fucked up.
What has my country become???
My average grades aren't good enough for my country...
I feel betrayed...
I feel fucked up...

I feel as if I'm twenty in a foreign land, with no home to go to anymore...

What Happens In Thailand, Stays In Thailand...

2009-01-09T19:20:00.000-08:00

Life so far here's on the extreme for me.
When it comes to work, I'd really have to work so hard that it actually hurts...
When it comes to day off... Well, I can't say..
All I know is that I've a different outlook on the world right now.
Not all is black & white anymore...
I hope my friends back home are doing fine...
All I can hope for is the best......

Turmoil In Bangkok & I'm stuck.

2008-11-25T23:37:00.000-08:00

Well, it looks like change is starting to come.
To the world: the upcoming recession
To thailand: in their government
To me: well, just take a look at the last post

The protests in thailand are on the rise and judging from news reports it's starting to get worse.
Well, this means that I'll be stuck in camp until "further notice".. which I can say as: God only knows when...
Only 2 outcomes will happen here:
1. PAD gets their wish, everyone goes home "somewhat" happy, but another protests by PPP will begin in the following month...
2. Civil War. which can only happen if the situation gets REALLY out of hand and the military will be forced to step in.

However, unlike the bloodless coup of '06, there's predictions that if the military does step in now, there'll be resistance. Armed resistance...

Which kinda sucked since I'm in uniform, and I'm in Thailand.

So either I can hope for things to return to normal OR be sent back to singapore with full tour allowance =D.
Can only wish for it...

To my readers, I'm fine here so long as the other 60+ of the SAF family here is.

Hollywood Bangkok lo!!!

2008-11-21T19:01:00.000-08:00

Rajen brought me n my buddy to Hollywood bangkok club last nite..
Basically, I only need to remember several things which I did last night:

1. Kissed a stripper.. on the tongue!
2. Got a lapdance from her.. hehe... and I know cfm gurantee plus chop it's a SHE.. (so dun bother asking again)
3. Did some OUTRAGEOUS things with my tongue on her... her body LA... (and no I didn't get laid or got her to come back..)
4. Got her no. b4 she left.

Followed by:

1. I got a waitress drunk
2. So drunk that she cannot tahan, fall asleep on me
3. Then I had to bring her to the toilet cuz she vomit like mad...

And the MOST AMAZING THING was that while she was so sick from vomiting, exhaustion all that, I can still remember my PAM drill.
Haha!!
Check ABC, D Spine, LOC, etc etc.
Made sure she's ok la..

Haha..

Havoc nite man...

Tonite's itenary: Back to SYC
Tmr: Duty Medic... FUCK!!!... :(

Too bad no Mandy at SYC Medical Center la...

Farewells

2008-11-09T04:07:00.000-08:00

With less than 36 hours to my flight, I still have yet to finish a year's worth of packing.
But at least I've said my goodbyes to all those I care for.

Yesterday, I met up with mamat and sheik for dinner and I kinda feel sad for the both of them after hearing their medic "horror" stories. Makes me kinda grateful that I'm not a tekong medic.

Thanks once again for the gift guys.

Today, it was 4SA's turn. or rather my close bros in 4SA.

Haix..

Well, so long singapore, family, friends.

The next time I'll probably be able to contact/update should be 2 weeks from now.

Don't worry too much about me.. After all, I have PLENTY of reasons to come back.. haha

Peace & Love!

Gotta Be Somebody

2008-11-04T06:25:00.000-08:00

`Cause nobody wants to go in on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere.
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

Went from the south to the north of singapore today *again*
Reported to CMPB at 0800 to collect my visa application and proceeded to the Royal Thai Embassy.
Followed by a rush to nee soon to complete my overseas admin/documentation.. Zzz

Finally, I can say my documentation is COMPLETE.
Then I took a cab to Joo Chiat Terrace to pass Gladys' gifts cuz "someone" forgot to pass it last friday.. tsk tsk
Well, I only have my dad to thank for bringing me across the north/south of sg today hahaz...

Whilst at nee soon I met up with the guys from P036 who's undergoing combat conversion. Han Kiat, Mamat and syasya are all lucky to have entered now, cuz next batch die die confirm will be HIM... HE WHO SHALT NOT BE NAMED

The 4 of us just sat at the open audit, talking and reminiscing about our BMC.
They (and almost everyone else I know) said the same things about my tour of thailand (besides trying to picture me with a tranny prostitute which is like WTF WTF WTF!!): It's too long and they don't want to part with family.
I couldn't agree more. But if it weren't for me, I seriously dunnoe where to get $$$ for uni..
Looks like there's gotta be somebody to do what no one else wants...

After all, isn't life about making sacrifices? hahz..

Surrealism & Mefloquine or Doxycycline???

2008-11-03T02:16:00.000-08:00

The past week until now I've been having trouble sleeping..
Kept having these vivid dreams which often involve anger, then the yearn to get to something, before turning left and waking up screaming... Sucks...
It's not the dreams that frustrate me, it's the feeling of haziness the few minutes after waking up that annoys me.
Today, I almost missed my appointment at nee soon at 1000 because I woke up AT 1000...
And when I reached the guardhouse, I kinda stoned a bit, trying to overcome what is real and what was in my dream.
Argh..
My head hurts like fuck now... All thanks to rushing to nee soon, then to sembawang medical center.

Tomorrow, I have to report to CMPB *again* to get my visa and then rush to the Thai Embassy by 1115 to send in my visa.
Following that, I have to send several documents to my unit at nee soon...
Hopefully, no more vivid dreams tonight... Especially not dreams about her.. whenever such dreams come, she's always in pain and I can't get to her.. argh..

Since I'm going to a malaria-prevalent area for the next 1 yr plus, I either have to take 2 tabs of Mefloquine every week or 1 capsule of Doxycycline every day.

FYI, both are malaria prophylaxis a.k.a. anti-malarial drugs (remember, anti-malarial, not malaria vaccine..)

Being around medicines since July, I've always learnt to look up the side-effects before consuming them...

Mefloquine

Mefloquine may have severe and permanent adverse side-effects. It is known to cause severe depression, anxiety, paranoia, aggression, nightmares, insomnia, seizures, birth defects, peripheral motor-sensory neuropathy,[2] vestibular (balance) damage and central nervous system problems. For a complete list of adverse physical and psychological effects — including suicidal ideation — see the most recent product information.

Doxycycline

Side effects from tetracyclines are not always common, but of particular note is possible photosensitive allergic reaction which increases the risk of sunburn under exposure to UV light from the sun or other sources.
They may cause stomach or bowel upsets, and rarely allergic reactions. Very rarely severe headache and vision problems may be signs of dangerous secondary intracranial hypertension.

Judging from that info, I'd rather stick with 1 capsule of Doxycycline per day than 2 tabs of Mef per week...

I don't need drugs to give me vivid, weird dreams because I already have them.. haha

Gut Feeling

2008-10-31T16:13:00.000-07:00

12 hours after being out and finally I can rest on my bed with my com beside..
Had alot of fun celebrating glady's birthday at fish n co. followed by the halloween tram ride at the night safari (which sadly, put a dent on my wallet).

Due to the lack of sleep/rest the events of the night before midnight felt like a dream to me now and if it WAS a dream, it definately was a good one.. haha

After a being caffeinated and re-energized at cineleisure (it was 2am), shan, wyn and I watched the recent horror flick: The Coffin.
Interesting insight on buddhist rituals in my soon to be new home of thailand..

Hmm.. Seems I'd have another location to find throughout my time there other than: Sai Yok Waterfall, Tiger Temple, Pattaya Beach, Hellfire Pass, 3 Pagodas Pass... and the list goes on.. Anything to keep me sane and not thinking of singapore...

After what-seems-to-me a rushed ending, I brought up the idea of waiting for the first public transport.. All because I saw the "24-HR" sign at the coffee club opposite cine.. hehez.. Cuz if it weren't for the outing, I'd be having coffee with another bunch of people at the Hotel Rendevous' Coffee Club instead..

Reached home at 0630 approx. and as tired and dry as my eyes are now, I can't seem to get some shut-eye.. It's cuz of the gut feeling I've been having recently. It's harder to psych myself that whatever I've been doing recently for the past, erm, years of my life, is going to undergo a drastic change after the next 10 days... As fun as it seems moving off on my on, doing ALL my chores by meself, it's kinda depressing that I'll be leaving everyone I know behind.

Like I said to shan at the coffee club, when I touch the Thai soil on the 11th, the closest person I know is 3,500+ km away from me..

Mixed feelings from my gut...
Depressing thoughts that I'll leave my family & friends behind for a long, long, long-ass time.
Ecstatic that I'll be like a "pioneer".. moving off alone, to unknown territory, and setting up a home...

Gut feelings... hmm.. must be coming from the fish & chips from the night before...
Maybe after I'll crap it out I can get a restful sleep...

haha..

To Remember Better Times indeed... Frame it, don't flame it... haha

Goodbye My Love, Goodbye My Friend...

2008-10-28T07:00:00.000-07:00

I'm so going to miss my W580i...
Having to decide on whether to take the risks of smuggling such a beautiful thing has been on my mind lately.
And I've decided not to.
So after 1 year, 1 month, I'd to part with it. Giving it to my eldest instead cuz his wife needs it more than I do.

To part with this piece of hardware which has so much sentimental value to me is hard enough. What will I do if I have to part with more in the coming 2 weeks...

It's 4 weeks since the outing with my blood brothers and I still feel as if I haven't seen/meet all of my friends...

The Value Of Time

2008-10-27T04:28:00.000-07:00

Time seems to be rushing.
A month ago would be my 2nd last day of my fast, and I'd meet a bunch of nigerians who made my 1/2 hr trip to get my laptop into 3 hrs long..
3 weeks ago and I'd be preparing to spend the next 5 working days at logistics assistant course.
2 weeks ago and I'll be preparing to take mc to "justify" and celebrate the end of the course.
A week ago and I'll be bitching about the army/navy "thing" and the 15 hour medic cover on tuesday.

Today, I'm wasting the day away lazing around at home, planning my itenary for my 1year plus tour of thailand.
It's not easy.. I still have to get X 2 GS/TRADOC badges, my medical gown, and a whole bunch of toiletries... Not to mention the padlocks, bag locks that I'll need.

Time, it's certaintly something I need right now but can't seem to get a grasp at it..

On Leave... And nothing to do

2008-10-23T02:00:00.000-07:00

My leave technically begins tomorrow but I was given off today to wrap up my overseas documentation at CMPB. It turns out documentation can be quite a bitch really...
So far, I've submitted 12 passport sized pix, filled in 4 types of forms in triplicate, went to and fro from home to cmpb, cmpb to ICA and vice versa, and still I've yet to complete my documentation as I'll have to go back there to fill in my Visa application... Zzz

I feel as if I'm migrating to thailand... Haha

As to the thought "will I miss my family/friends?"
My answer is: it's not that I will miss them, it's that I'm already missing them even before I go... Haiz...

On leave and everyone else is either bz with uni or in camp... shucks...

Today is a winding road,
Tell me where to start and tell me something I dont know.
Today I'm on my own...

Make It Mine

2008-10-11T07:19:00.000-07:00

Jason Mraz - Make It Mine

Wake up everyone
How can you sleep at a time like this
Unless the dreamer is the real you
Listen to your voice
The one that tells you to taste past the tip of your tongue
Leap and the net will appear

I don't wanna wake before
The dream is over
I'm gonna make it mine
Yes I... I known it
I'm gonna make it mine
Yes I'll make it all mine

I keep my life on a heavy rotation
Requesting that it's lifting you up
Up up and away
And over to a table at the gratitude cafe

And I am finally there
And all the angels they'll be singing
Ah la la la ah la la ah Ia la la la la love this

Well I don't wanna break before
The tour is over
I'm gonna make it mine
Oh yes I... I will own it
I'm gonna make it mine
Yes I'll make it all mine...

Timing's everything
And this time there's plenty
I am balancing
Careful and steady
And reveling in energy that everyone's emitting

Well I don't wanna wait no more
Oh I wanna celebrate the whole world
I'm gonna make it mine
Oh yes I'm following your joy
I'm gonna make it mine
Because I... I am open
I'm gonna make it mine
That's why... I will show it
I'm gonna make it oh mine
Gotta make gotta make gotta make gotta make it make
It make it mine
Oh mine...
Yes I'll make it all
Mine

Left, RIght, Left, Supply! Medics!

2008-10-08T05:28:00.000-07:00

As of the 071008, I am on supply assistant course at Sembawang camp and as logisticians, much discipline wasn't really expected of us.

I just want to get through the next 5 working days so that I'll be done with all this supply a.k.a. logistics a.k.a. storeman stuff.. It's only my 2nd day today and I've already begun to miss my medical center.. Haiz..

Next wednesday is my HRSC documentation which means 1 day off for me (yippee!!!). I've already planned to "fall sick" on the thursday till friday and thus begin my block leave the following week. Which all sums up to not having to go to work starting from next tuesday! hahaz

Next weekend my NUS pals will be coming over and I do hope everything planned will work out fine. Plus, we'll be celebrating xy's and ws's birthday at the same time.

Besides that, I haven't really planned out anything much but all I want to do before I leave singapore: have a last meet up with my family, followed by my close circle of friends.

I guess that's that..

Driving Cross Country

2008-10-03T08:03:00.000-07:00

Today was my first solo medical cover and it turned out to be GREAT! Great I tell you!!

Firstly, the driving instructor came late and thx to that I'd enough time to catch some ZZZs before I head out.

Frankly, I was kinda nervous as it was my 1st solo cover and 2nd overall cover, which meant that if anything were to happened, I'd panic...

Thankfully though, it wasn't even a platoon level exercise, juz a group of 8 driver trainees undergoing their off-road, cross country driving assessment at Lorong Asrama.

The first thing I did was SOP: Open up stretcher... and the next thing was to treat this trainee who was complaining of headache/drowsiness. I'd inkling that he was ck-ing but wth, just gave him panadol and rest.. After all, wut else can I do (and want to do)

When the instructor for the safety rover wanted to do a recce before the event started, I'd ask for a tag-along and it was WORTH IT... Driving off road is damn shiok... It's like being in those war films and u're in a jeep driving way way way fast trying to outrun smth... Fking fun man...

But it was a lousy trade-off.. for that 15 min of joy ride, I had to sit around and wait until their exercise was over 7 hours later... Zzz..

To put it short, I kinda enjoyed my first cover and will certainly look forward to the next one in a few weeks...

Few weeks... Damn, that's all I'd have left in sg...

Eid Mubarak '08

2008-09-29T09:35:00.000-07:00

Eid'Ul Fitri is approaching soon and this year's Ramadhan has been the most testing one in my life so far..

Being in uniform and having to fast at the same time is no mean feat. I've fell prey to temptation more than once this Ramadhan and it's partly due to the environment that I'm fasting in. Because all that's important for an NSF is his ORD date, nothing else matters really..

To date, I'll haf up to 5 weeks left before Departure and eventhough I know that I'll feel homesick, I have to be strong and constantly remind myself how horrible I felt when I did my guard duty at BMT and weekend duty at BMC. I kept asking myself what was I doing back then and it was frustrating.

At least in Thailand I'll have the following to look forward to:
1. Having the experience of being independent overseas
2. Being able to ORD with an even wider smile on my face for very obvious reasons.. hehe
3. Looking forward to next year's raya and at the same time being able to contribute smth to my family and friends.
4. Having been able to see this, and much much more from another country while at the same time serving NS..

And the list goes on...

As much as I can't wait to go there, a nagging feeling's present in my head which wants me to just stay home.

May Allah guide me safely there and back again.. That's all I need to silence that weird feeling in my head..

Eid'Ul Fitri this year will be a joyous one for almost everyone else, but it'll be abit melancholic for me, as I wanna get a good look at everyone; family, friends, before I go..

Going Solo

2008-09-26T04:26:00.000-07:00

So far I've only had 1 real cover which totally sucked as I had 2 casualties on my very first SUPERVISED cover.. Talk about rushing man..

The next thing I know is that I'm selected for another cover next Friday.. SIANZ...

So far the only thing I've learnt to do in a med ctr is:

1. Attach to an experience medic and help him do work until lunch, just to give them rest from all the workload they've been doing eversince they "entered" the SAF...
2. Lunchtime, find a sleeping corner.
3. 1430, a.k.a. 2-3hrs to last parade, relocate to another sleeping corner or try to find work/look busy so snr medic won't reprimand you.

That's bout my 1 mth's worth of OJT in sembawang camp...

Dealing With E-Cases and Being Alone..

2008-09-16T06:26:00.000-07:00

Had an E-case today just before last parade and this just means extra workload on SBMC medics. E-case was of unknown nature with symptoms such as pain in lower right and upper left abdomen. Suspected pancreatitis or appendicitis. Patient was not very co-operative, 2 IVs were given before patient was rushed off to TTSH.

Fortunately, I was still considered as OJT, means no hands on, just eyepower at the least and helping a little here, a little there at the most.

Sadly for me though, I was the only AMS medic there today and will be for the rest of the week.

That's 'coz hardi is on 8 day MC and Omar is on GE course... Which leaves me as the only "struggling idiot" in SBMC.

Thankfully, there's cool down to earth medics like Shadiq, 'Amid around to show me the workings of a medical centre.. If it weren't for them, I'd probably die of boredom a long while back already.

Tomorrow will be my first cover and it just had to be an IPPT cover... This means I;d have to show up by 0700 (which is the time I'd get on the red line to Sembawang).
To add to my distress, I have P2 Duty on Thursday...

Haiz...

If not duty, it's cover, if not cover, it's E-case, if not E-case, P-case, and the list goes on from there...

Just like what ys said: Medic is the 2nd most shiong vocation after RP (which is permanent guard duty lol).

Right now, I'm just counting down to my flight..

Contrast

2008-09-12T08:34:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was one of the most happening things ever at SBMC:

1. A drunk patient vomited and Wan and I had to pick up the vomitus left. Damn disgusting task..

2. Another patient on septic, hypovolemic AND anaphylactic shock almost started a fight with one of our drivers.

3. That same patient then created a scene... which I don't know was due to the multiple shock he was suffering from or his attitude.

4. Sent that very same patient to TTSH, which meant I had a tag-a-long ride as veh. comd. of the ambulance! Shiok experience...

All said "happenings" helped ease me thru the day till after lunch.. Which helped as "normal days" are usually boring, uneventful ones...

Today was a TOTAL CONTRAST to yesterday.. All we had were less than 20 patients, of which 2 were addmitted to sickbay. And being lucky me, I tio sickbay duty...

Slow paced day... Damn slow...

Right now I'm thinking that mdm may would've given us appointments already if not for our "temp-perm" staff status.. How ironic...

Somehow, I get the feeling that I'm out of place and that I'll still continue to be out of place after thailand and after ORD.

Just like what the senior staff said "NS ruins a man's life, you chiong for BMT/course training, and then you slack the remainder away, killing away your ambitions, your hopes, your loves, your identity. Sooner or later, you become a Singaporean Man: self-centred, apathetic, and oblivious to his surroundings as he'll only care for his Wants and his Wants alone".

Woe is me.. A bleak future doth I see ahead...

SBMC and Crescendo

2008-08-29T07:19:00.000-07:00

POP from BMC on monday and my posting was shaky since...

2 weeks ago: Crescendo, Thailand
1 week ago: HQ Guards, Dieppe Barracks
Monday: HQ Guards, Dieppe Barracks
Tuesday: HQ AMS - Overseas Div
Wednesday: HQ AMS - Manpower Branch
Thursday: HQ AMS attached to SBMC

And today I got off thanks to physio..

SBMC (Sembawang Med Ctr) is quite a shiok posting to get. So far ytd, I've 2nd hand experience on doing intra-muscular injections, helped out abit in triage (patient assess.).

Snr. Medic over there damn nice, the medics too.. Basically, I've finally exited the trainee phase and have entered the perm. staff life. And it's like paradise...

Such great atmosphere has only spurred me on to begin my OJT phase (on job training) which should begin next monday. Of all the appointments available in a medical centre, I'd rather be assigned under dispensary or documentation.. Hands on in Rx and Triage just gives me more stress..

Speaking of next monday, it'll be the start of Ramadhan! Really praying that this coming ramadhan will help me reduce my BMI man... I'll need it to pass my FFI before I'll be given the green light for crescendo..

Having High Hopes For Crescendo! :D

Back To The Grind

2008-08-09T07:51:00.000-07:00

7 days is not enough...

NOT ENOUGH I say!!!

These precious 7 days have taught me a valuable lesson: What it means to be a civilian i.e. No regimentation, No fucked up revillie hours, no uniform, no boots and the best of all: the availability of the INTERNET+My Com...

Haiz...

This coming weekday will be the 8th week in BMC, my 2nd to last week before I get my armbands+certs+etc...

Now as I've left less than 24 hrs on my long long "vacation", I can't help but hope that the coming weekdays will pass much faster... After all, I just wanna get thru this 2 years as quick (and painless) as possible...

My mis-adventures during the past weekday shall be kept in the dark.. For all I know I spent the 5 days on painkiller treatment...

On another note, I enrolled for Class 3 licence and thx to 3 Div Arty, I had to push my BTT to Oct... Fk-ed up exercises in Sep... Argh...

Looks like it's back to the grind for me this coming week, what not with 3 tests on tuesday and wednesday... Haiz...

On the bright side, my pay came 2 days early... Phew...

Singfest '09?

2008-08-03T09:31:00.000-07:00

Now that you've metioned it gladys... I decide to save up for Singfest '09!!!

Lolz...

Hmm...

Must call back CKH to check if they still need more facilities officers for the weekend... Gotta get me a weekend job... STAT... LOlz

And as it says on my widget: 327 more days to get my IC back.. kns...

A Fucking Long Weekend & Singfest '08

2008-08-03T08:42:00.000-07:00

I went to TTSH to get back the 2 nights I lost thanx to duty 3 weeks ago. Rather than getting back said 2 nights, I received a 7 day MC...

SEVEN DAYS MC!!!!!!!!

Now wth/wtf/omgwtf am I gonna do?!?!?!?!

So far I've planned up till tuesday... LOLz

Right now I'm thinking of whether to show my face back in camp on thursday nite till friday morning for N-day msg...

Argh...

Anyway, after a rushed up check up at TTSH, your truly once again rushed back home to change and meet the NUS 3(wyn, shan & gladys) to watch Dark Knight.

After the movie, my growling stomach forced us to stop for lunch and since I havent eaten for over 12 hrs at the time, we proceeded for a "feast" at Fish & Co. @ The Glasshouse.

Once again I ordered the swordfish shoulder and ONCE AGAIN I'm dissapointed at the amount of "shoulder" inside... Almost 90% bones... Wtf.. There goes $16... At least the Kola Tonic tastes better than it did the last time I went there...

After the costly lunch, we tried sneaking into Singfest '08. Alas, even with our navigation skills, the entire fort canning heritage centre was blocked out, making free entry impossible. Fk-ed up man..

All we had to remember our efforts were these pics:

As you can see, the field is damn packed, and there were still ppl with tix outside queing to get in. Frm top: Stacie Orrico, Jamie Scott (performing my fav. "When Will I See Your Face Again") and Ryan Tedder from One Republic.

One Republic was by far the best LIVE performers there... When they performed Say and Stop & Stare, I swear to you it was as good (if not, better) than the album version...

Haiz...

Sadly, we had to break off by 6..

Missing my civilian life man...

Hot Week

2008-08-01T08:23:00.000-07:00

Fking hot week sia..

After a week of damp, rainy weather (esp. during lunch), the hot, cloudless skies of this week is just tearing me apart.. Physically, mentally, etc.

To make things worst, it's the start of the combat phase, meaning long 4 outside.. sianz.. Eventhough svc side dun do shit as compared to the cbt, I feel kinda fucked up sitting/stoning/sweating all at the same time when I could've been doing smth constructive...

Now, all I'm hoping for is graduation, which is on the 25th...

Oh btw, I've been selected as potential CPR instructor, which is way way way better than the other postings e.g. Tekong, guards.. etc.. Simply, all I want is a posting which I can stay out.. :D

Alas, such "blessings" came with a price: course IC for the coming week.. wtf man..

3 days MC here I come... *crosses fingers*

The End Of My Paramedic Phase

2008-07-26T20:14:00.000-07:00

It's going into the sixth week in my BMC phase, thus marking the start of the combat (tekan) phase...

As a SVC medic, I'm expecting alot of eyepower coming up until the next month..

To put it simply, I'll be wasting the next 4 weeks doing absolutely nothing i.e. wasting away...

Sianz...

My plans have been reduced to a monthly basis, with the 10th of each month being the deciding factor of what I'll do for the rest of the month...

$400 ain't enough man... I can get that amount in 10 days of work last time >.< Argh..

Am just hoping I'll get the 1st Guards posting... Bedok is sooo much closer to home than tekong... Am juz hoping and praying...

Insya'Allah..

Feel Twice, Poke Once

2008-07-13T00:28:00.000-07:00

That's what I saw in the SMTI office morning.. Wondering what I was doing in the office on a sunday morning? The answer: Fire Piquet Duty!!!

And once again, my weekend gone.. POOF!

Sian man...

With my peanut pay I don't know what to do with it other than NOT to use it.. argh.. wtf..

Right now, am just lazing on the counch watching Bury My Heart On Wounded Knee on HBO. Also, I'm thinking about tomorrow's IV, which shall be my last IV with a 20G needle. (FYI, 20G = 1/20th of an inch)
Following that will be the 16G needle IV on Friday, just before bookout.. Argh...

Fked.. Got 2 tests also this week, kns...

It's like going back to college again, with the exception of staying out and more blood..

Rejection After Rejection After Rejection..

2008-07-05T22:29:00.000-07:00

WTF rejections..

As my readers would've known by now, I've been rejected by every local Uni here eversince I got my A'lvl results..

But that's not the end of it..

I'd tried appealling to the local Unis and all I got was rejection letter.. WTF

WTF WTF WTF

I WANT MY $$$$$$ BACK!!!

Can't believe that I'd wasted $35+ on applications.. It's really WTF man...

Haiz..

Well, out of my boredom (and creeping insanity) I did this:

It's basically what I did to the NUS's & NTU's rejection letter. Might not be much but it helped lower my anger a little...

Following that, my off pass for my junior's investiture wasn't approved, so there goes my hope of going out on a weekday.. Knn

Right now, all I'm hoping for, living for, is a damn long weekend..

Life can be a bitch...

CPR certified!

2008-06-27T09:20:00.000-07:00

I am a medic in the Singapore Armed Forces.

I take pride in my vocation, my skills, and the responsibilites entrusted to me.

I will seek to constantly upgrade my professional knowledge and skills.

I will save lives and reduce suffering, show care, concern and compassion to all those I treat.

I will serve my fellow soldiers, the Medical Corps, and the SAF with total committment.

MEDICS!!!

Finally back from camp..

Alot of stuff to learn and almost not enough fkin time...

Great... It's JC2 all over again.

Kinda sux ain't it?

Well, C'est La Vie man...

At least now I'm CPR certified..

And after 2 months, I'm 1/4 closer to being a fully fledge paramedic.. Lolz

Blog Hop

2008-06-20T09:02:00.000-07:00

Did some blog hopping on my own for awhile,
And truth to be told, I'm a little bit intimidated by some ppl's blog.
Freaky..

Frankly, I dun give a fuck about what I write, it's my blog, in other words, my opinion.

So, FUCK CENSORSHIP.. Lolz

That's why I find it easier to understand someone thru their blogs,
I did learn alot about a certain someone.. Lolz..

Aiyoh, see the tagboard like drama sia..

Anywayz, enuff bout drama/blogs,
rite now I'm just waitin' for the best opportunity to get in touch with that someone again.. I wonder if I can get free tickets.. Concert perhaps?

Bleahz..

Maybe laterz.. I'm really enjoying single life rite now, dun realli wanna be caught up in another perdicament like that of the past year..

An update on my life now:

Besides being a medic, during training, I've:

1. Scored Marksman (27/31)
2. Did guard duty at ammo dump and saw MAT ROCK MINAH!!!.. Now funny ah, but at the time not funny liao.. Scary like fuck
3. Threw SPG93 and SFG 87 without any prior drills/preparation. (and still in one piece)
4. Found out I'm allergic to the C-Rations. Gave me fucked up rashes
5. Found out I had partial cerebral palsy?? (Acc. to my soon-to-be MO friend, hope he was joking)
6. Learnt skills which I find totally useless in civilian life. But then again, I'm no longer classifiable as civilian.
7. Learnt the MOST IMPORTANT SKILL: sleeping whilst standing...

Hahz..

That's basically it, and my blog would've been more colourful, with pix, except thanx to the no camera SAF rule.. Arghz.. LOLz

Hmm.. Maybe b4 I book in again, I'll revamp this blog...

MEDIC!!!

2008-06-20T06:46:00.000-07:00

Couldn't sleep properly last night,
I ended up tossing and turning till like 4 in the morning...
And I came to 5 min before 1000,
and the moment I saw this:

Your vocation is SVC MEDIC.

I damn happy sia..
Heck the 8 weeks stay in coz after that it's 8 - 5.
Plus, I'll learn smth useful

Strangely enough, I didn't even pass my CPR test during BMT.. Ah well...

All the bez to my other pals who's being "thrown" around all the camps in singapore thanks to the action of the CPC "gods"...

Trying New Ways to Get High..

2008-06-18T06:07:00.000-07:00

So far I've tried:

1. Hyperventilating for 1 min then holding my breath
2. Smoking
3. Using the vicks inhaler
4. Digging shell scrape with SBO during a damn hot, stuffy noon
5. Doing 120 jumping jacks at 1 go (becoz nvr put girl pic on locker)

and so far, all those methods will get me "high".

And yes, I smokeD.. that's smoke with a D.

Simply after seeing that thing during my guard duty about a mth ago, and having to tolerate a roaming wild boar whilst sleeping "cow-boy" style (i.e. in the open, with earth/dirt on my back), I couldn't help it but had to take a few puffs to get me high/drowsy enough to sleep...

I've stopped since..

So.. Ahem.. Let me start on a clearer/cleaner note..

My ~~forced~~ block leave started over a week ago and so far, I've got these done:

1.
2.
3.
...

Simply, nothing.. Lolz

Besides going out and "burning" money, I've spent my time in Limbo (as YS would say)..

Fking sian waiting for the end of your leave just so that you know where you'll end up and *hopefully* having some sense of security of your vocation so that you can enjoy the leave properly.

Like why the fk can't they tell me my posting first so at least I can spend the rest of my block leave contemplating suicide.. Lolz

Haiz...

Before going out today, I had this weird fk-ed up call from someone claiming to be from SR.

The lady said smth along the lines of a common survey (i.e. Uni applications, its results) which I knew was the norm.. until she started telling me why most SRJCians with my kind of grades couldn't get in: JC Reputation.

I was like wtf kind of reasoning was that?!?!?

And there began half an hour worth of reasoning about the biasness given to the top JCs and how we're left to get the scraps...

Lady, you must be a damn good orator coz you'd explained it to me to the point of PLAUSIBILITY...

But after giving it some thought, why the fk would it bother me?!?!?

I still got to wait till 240410 and besides, I've already made up my mind over a year ago..

Elitism is smth I'm common with here and I know that if I want to make it to a local U, I haf to be the top, which due to the events of last year, I knew I was at the bottom.

So, these days are spent wasting away, trying out new "things" and trying to see this world from the other side..

So far, I'm enjoying it...

Sleepless in Potong Pasir

2008-04-18T13:52:00.000-07:00

it's 4.52am right now..

And I can't bloody sleep!!!

My biological clock is in tatters,

I've been awake since 22 hours ago,

been WoWing for the past 6 or so hrs,

basically,

I dun give a fuck about anything anymore...

6 days left, and the last 6 days of civilian life is an ass...

My "dream" degree is fast becoming a DREAM rather than reality..

She has left me for work (I presume) [wicked timing too]

My laptop died, I rezzed it, but it died again...

My bro still owe me $$$...

My back is still sore...

If the only good thing to look forward to this past week:

I got to talk to you, you made my day, and i ruined it by saying those words.. ARgh..

Oh well,

Life's A Bitch ain't it?

Chasing Pavements

2008-04-15T11:44:00.000-07:00

I've made up my mind,
Don't need to think it over,
If I'm wrong I am right,
Don't need to look no further,
This ain't lust,
I know, this is love..

But if I tell the world,
I'll never say enough,
'Coz it was not said to you,
And that's exactly what I need to do,
If I'd end up with you..

Should I give up?
Or should I just keep on chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere..
Or would it be a waste?
Even if I knew my place,
Should I leave it there???

And it's not coz of you..

It's coz of the time I wasted on you...

I feel soo fucked...

Roach Infestation

2008-03-24T20:29:00.000-07:00

Damn roaches...
Town Council camp today to Avenue 1 and sprayed all the blocks here with a kerosene-like pesticides that's gotten all the roaches *both young and old* out of the trash chutes and into the streets.
Damn awful sight as I went out to get breakfast. Enough to make me lose my appetite.

Anyway, had an *awful* day yesterday.

Right now I can only wish you'd understand me...

Hahz..

Crash & Burn

2008-03-19T06:39:00.000-07:00

Sianz...

Alot has happened since I last blogged...

But still,

All that matters,

is that,

I miss you...

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
Its hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you cant take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump Ill break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
Youre not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
Youre caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you cant face the day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump Ill break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
Youre not alone

And there has always been heartache and pain
And when its over youll breathe again
Youll breath again

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Let me be the one you call
If you jump Ill break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
Youre not alone...

But where are you my dear???

Sleepless In Singapore

2008-03-05T09:59:00.000-08:00

Damn A'Level results will be out in 36 hours and I can't sleep..
Reason being that I'm thinking of her rather than my results... sheesh
I mean darn it, why can't life be all that simple...
It's like trying to grow ANOTHER pair just to tell her... haiz...

G'dnite y'all!

Bossa Nova Soothes The Soul

2008-02-18T09:12:00.000-08:00

It's 1.30am in the morning and am listening to my old Bossa Nova songs (which I was a fan of b4 making the switch to pop after listening to 91.3).
And my opinion of Bossa Nova, just one: Soothing.

It's been a hectic start to February, the whole of last week filled with outings culminating into the "biggest" which was St. Valentine's Day Massacre at Bee-One Club at The Marriott Hotel.

I won't divulge much on the "biggest" event of the week other than that I was ps by my guys.. zzz, thx dudes... Didn't happen on the "other side" though... Once again, thx dudes...

Being a Monday I had to get out, organized some employment stuff of ours (ours being the usual 4 of us, ws,gladys,wyn,me).
Took up the offer at Sim Lim.
And went on a walking spree... Walked from Paradiz to Sim Lim then walked back to The Cathay to watch Jumper.. Nice action flick with gay plot..
Seriously seriously gay plot la.. But the damn nice action sequences will drown you and make you forget of the damn gay plot..

After that my boredom nature got a hold of me so I had to drag the other 2 (ws,wyn) up to fort canning just to explore.

Fun 7-8km "trek" across. Took a few pics and I found out that a trip to the battlebox costs $8.. knn..

The Fort Canning Centre.. Damn Old Bldg, we thought we stumbled or "Jumped" into somewhere else..

The headstone marking the Brits tt passed away here.. Most date back to Mid-1800s. And the 3 of us foolishly walked all the way up to learn that the path is a DEAD-END.. darn

9-Pounder Cannon spotted near the peak of Fort Canning. Used to defend S'pore against ~~the japs~~ sea invasion.. hehe.. Judging from the state of the gun, it's most likely an OVER-PAINTED replica.. Paint on it was so thick that the cannon is "de-magnetized"

This is straight away going to be submitted to sillysigns.blogspot.com ..

View of clarke quay taken just b4 sunset. We 3 sat there till no more sun liao.. LoLz

Haiz...

It's now 2am and am still listening to Bossa Nova songs (coz it's on loop),
in 2 mths time, it's been a year since this heart of mine bled, and it bleeds still..
But I shan't forget the words my buddy told me last sat: Better to have a good friend then to have lost a lover.

Thanks dude, I won't forget those words..

Bossa Nova to me is music about the most painful kind of love,
the love of a stable boy for the princess,
the love of the regular joe for the supermodel,
the unreachable love,

And that's why Bossa Nova Soothes The Soul.

Trying..

2008-02-11T09:32:00.000-08:00

Rmb I said I took out a job offer from my fren last week?
Turns out it's an MLM job, from a notorious MLM called DW Group.
Am really having doubts rite now on the job, can't help but feel for my fren who's working there..
Life's not really a bed of roses.
More like a bed of thorns.

It's 1am plus, can't sleep, i think ws's insomnia has passed to me.. zzz
I'm juz a regular joe trying to make ends meet, need $$$ like anyone else, trying not to waste time whilst waiting for results.
People say: Once Bitten, Twice Shy.
From 1st hand experience, I've met ppl who claim to be your best friends, ur "brudder", and they can still turn on you, backstab you, etc.
I keep wondering, if that "best friend" can do that, what about a total stranger..
Right now, all I'm thinking is of making some hard cash before I enlist, with the ulterior motive of helping my ma and pa since after sis has moved out, there's fewer support for them..
Seems to me that I'm incurring more debts than revenue..
I feel like f***ed man..

Damn..

I tried.. But I guess, I'll try harder..

Trekking across sg's malls

2008-02-04T01:54:00.000-08:00

Went out with alwyn, gladys and ws today to find work after 1 week hiatus >.<
Since I spent most nights awake (esp. during weekends), I only came to at 10am the next day, wondering what time I had to meet them (which is kinda bad for me coz it was my idea in the first place, D'oh!)

Feels kinda weird that my sis had already moved out, the house feels kinda empty even though only 1 member had moved out. (Began with a total of 9, now down to 5)

Quickly went to the mama shop to get a copy of the paper before noon and tmk, there's not that many part-time jobs available.
Was abit late when I met the rest of them and we headed to food court to see what job we could take.

Fortunately, I rmb tt Yat has some opening at his company 'coz they expanding; with that being the best opportunity (other than flower arrangement for V-day), I took up his offer and we headed to the office at Kelantan Lane..

Little did I know tt e company is called: DW Company.. DW sia.. Lol, the s2 guys are soooo gonna ROFL when they see the name..

Insider jokes aside, I learnt that they are a biomedical-biomagnet company. Tmk, it's something of a bohemian idea of using magnets to prevent stress related symptoms..
Basically it's a damn good working environment (where I can still work during NS), friendly boss and staff. Just hoping that the other 3 will get it too.

Our impromptu interview ended at around 6 plus and being the hungry, starving ppl that we are, we made our way back to Bugis. Ended up eating western food at The Banquet in Raffles Hospital.

With our bellies full and time on our hands, what else, go walk walk singapore la.. (or just parts of it)

Walked from Bugis to Esplanade; Whilst detouring at Suntec's Carefour to play Vista Chess and detouring again at Millenia Walk.

Finally reached The Esplanade at 10 plus, went up to the roof terrace and took pix of the nightscape.

I realised that it's been 2 long years since I've been up there and seriously, alot of things have changed.. The open-air stage is gone, being extended (presumably) into a larger one. The Marina Bay side is full of floodlights as construction workers struggle to keep in demands of building the new IR.

As I looked out towards the almost stunning scenery, I can't help but reminisce about the days with my OG, with my CG, with my SAS buds.. Where are you guys now?
For one thing is certain, I missed you guys and your company.. All I have left are pictures and good memories. May They Last

Pic of Millenia Walk's ceiling, hopefully glady's cam turned out to be a better shot than this

Pic of CBD area

Panoramic view of the Nightscape

City Nightscape as it was 2 years ago, nth much changed

At least I'll have program tmr: prepare for V-day Massacre at The Mariott

Can't wait for next weekend man...

Congrats Sis!

2008-02-03T22:26:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was my sis' wedding ceremony held at potong pasir CC. Prep for the event was hell due to clash of venue all thanks to the "excellent" service provided by the ptp town council.. (who btw has yet to rid of the 3 dozens or so rats which have plagued this estate ever since the elections)

Thanks to ys, tongliang and tl for coming! Those of you who missed it nvm la, at most is you've missed the great food.. LoL

Some pix of the wedding (not much though..)

In purple is my bro-in-law, Izhar. Being presented silat.

The kompang drummers, damn good percussionists

The flowers I bought for my sis.. Thx xing yi for the arrangment!

Panoramic View of the hall BEFORE the ceremony.. 4got to take one DURING the ceremony.. D'oh!

Hmm.. Now must wait for the upload of the pics from all the cams yesterday.. zzz..

More pix will come! Laterzz!

5th Asia Pacific Medical Education Conference 2008

2008-01-30T07:02:00.000-08:00

5th APMEC '08 was last thursday to sunday (24/1 - 27/1) and being selected as an event facilitator sure rocks! Got the job through my neighbour/schmate Liyi (thx!).. Good thing was that I was working around SRJCians (and an MJCian and SAJCian.. LOL)

22/1:

Woke up late 'coz I spent the previous night watching 1408 on DVD with my bros (who ironically happen to be working earlier than me)

Got to Harbourfront to take the 8.15 bus no. 97 to NUS MD11. The bus did came but it was full.. That's when I noticed got this girl like wanna talk to me and it turns out to be none other than wei shan from SRJC.. Lol.. (Coz the next 97 came 45 min later and it's kinda ez to spot who's going to take the 97)

First day was just briefing on the event itself (which kinda reminded me of bio lectures) and packing of gift bags for the delegates.

24/1:

First day as route marshaling with alwyn (old sec sch classmate) and shaun (nus undergrad from arts and social science)
Pretty much dull standing around work, directing "lost" doctors and professors to the correct building.
The fun came when the caterer arrived with our meals.. (seriously, with 4 meals a day: breakfast, morning tea, lunch, tea; I'd nvr get tired of that job)

25/1:

2nd day of route marshaling and the hot sweltering heat didn't help. But the relaxed environment of the job meant that we had to come up with games to "maximize" our time.

Ended up talking about college, playing the SR box game (which shall only be remembered in the 19th batch.. since TTF banned it.. )

26/1:

Big day! Opening Ceremony for the main conference at NUS' University Cultural Center (UCC)

Basically we had to dress up nice nice, behave properly, bla bla bla.. etc.

Which was only true until lunch (which was after the opening ceremony).

After that I basically had no duties, so went to the museum, took some pics of the South Asian Arts on display.. TMK, I prefer classical art to modern contemporary.. which I find weird for my taste...

Dear readers, do check it out whenever you're free, entry is free! and check the guest book for 27/1/08.. Lol

Other than that, I did see (and talk to) delegates from all over the world; Iran, Norway, USA, etc.

And since most of the delegates opted out for the Conference Dinner at The Legends in Fort Canning, my colleagues and I were invited.

Was separated from the rest coz I had to sit in the halal foods table with a couple of Indonesian delegates. Luckily for me xing yi chose to acc. me (plus she talked abit in malay too.. Lol, kudos for that!)

After dinner I went to watch Cloverfield with the girls and alwyn. For the movie, just one word: Nice!

It was one of those survivalist films and the cinematography really puts you on edge and into the footsteps of the characters.. On the way home I was still kinda edgy that something will pop out of the corner to take my life away LoL..

27/1:

Last day and of the main "gang", only Alwyn and I was left (coz the receptionists weren't needed on the last day of the conference).
It was a dull day coz they weren't much around for me to do so I ended up reading Wan Qi's notes on Law. She's a law student at SIM i think...
And I learnt from her that getting straight D's isn't the end of the world, it's just when you get a U on your cert then you'll feel bad..

The day ended kinda sad and mellow, coz being the last of the male helpers, alwyn and I had to clear up the UCC, to the extent that it felt as if the last 4 days never happened..

Anyways, here's some of the pix I took from my time at NUS med sch:

View of gazebo between MD5 and MD 3

A sculpture by local artist named "when steel meets concrete".. I leave it to you, my readers, to think what it TRULY represents"

Another locally made artpiece aptly named "Hunger", now I can see how ppl can wear skinny jeans

can't remember the name of this piece, it was some bird-man-warrior or smth.. Looks kinda cool, will definately use it as my dp some day

Again I couldn't remember the name of this piece.. Plus it looks far better as my phone cam won't bring it justice..

Lunch, as was served on Saturday.. This was just a FRACTION of the buffet, shown here are salmon nuggets, 2 varieties of pizzas, seaweed chicken, and kueh lapis.. Btw, staff gets first dibs on all the foods! =D

The Day I Became An Orange Signpost

2008-01-24T04:27:00.000-08:00

First day of pre-event conference at NUS.

It's the 5th Asia Pacific Medical Education Conference 2008 and I'm the route marshal to guide lost ~~sheeps~~ doctors to the campus' Centre of Life Sciences.
For doctors, I find the ang moh's being the most cheery ones and ours as being kinda on the dull side... As in REALLY dull

My favourite was the doctor from India who commented me and the other 2 route marshals as "orange signposts"..

It's coz we were made to wear orange polo tees for work and also coz a road marshal's job only involves me standing at a predetermined location and indicating the venue each doctors were supposed to go to.

In the midst of the sianness, good stuff still do happens. For one i borrowed my colleague's book (which he was supposed to read as hw) Dance Dance Dance by Haruki Murakami. It had good plot lines and for one, I actually did someone else's homework.. (by mistake)

End up playing the BOX GAME, albeit for a short while.. I miss that old game from old SR.. To think about it, we're the last batch to play it.. Haiz..

Damn, gotta be at work at 7 again tmr.. Gonna check up on my toons b4 I turn in..

Paradox Of Time

2008-01-20T04:25:00.000-08:00

Completing my A's ain't what I'd thought it'd be; Life for me now is so dull.
Everyday is basically the same routine, it feels like I'm in army (well with the exception that in the army, you'd have to "suffer".. at least with buddies there)
Life to me after my short stint at Bayshore Park (which I think I'll have to return to next month) has been nothing but WoW, WoW and more WoW.
Damn sian man.

Zs, Ys, TakL, JH, and a bunch of others guys are in army, and I ain't close to alot of my female friends either (cos either they stead adi or just not my type.. yes, I'm shallow.. so are you! lol)

I really gotta start up with some planned timetable for the rest 3 months, buff up maybe, find work or get a license.

It's like going through the paradox of time: When you need it, you'll feel you barely have any, When You don't, You can't help but wasting it..

Right now, I'm really really over those eye-candies, ex-es of mine.. Basically enough to put me off thinking such stuff for awhile...

At least this coming week I got work at NUS Med Sch.. Maybe I can sweet talk some of the profs there to get me in Med Sch...

Hmm...

Realizations

2008-01-01T21:40:00.000-08:00

Been working as a temp at bayshore park for over 2 months now... I'd admit that I'm getting used to the job but am not comfortable with staying here for a long while.. I'm sooo gonna get a better paying job with a much better environment than this..

For one, I'm the only employee here under 20... (to be more precise, under 40..)
I mean the uncles & aunties here are nice la, but just not of my generation.. Kinda hard to communicate my gen stuff to their gen stuff..

Haiz..

Well, being my first post in a new blog, I'd like to share some stuff about why I closed my previous one..

My old blog was meant to store my JC memories, tt's it.. Anything after JC, I'll put it here (i.e. army life, bla bla)..

Anyway, here I am now... A couple of days after my last paper.. Even though I'd started "celebrating" pretty much right after my first GP paper ended, so it didn't really felt exhilarating..

The only difference is that right now, I'm looking at the classified ad at 1am, looking for something of an income which will get me that shopping spree trip in HK...
Sianz..

Right now, I can only hope and pray hard that I'll land that admin assist job at Ubi..
Either that, or some other job before the summer selection on Clot and other couture goods..

Haiz..

I gotta find work soon or else go nuts from idleness...
