Who Says I'm Useless? Lol....

Well Wednesday i decided to come home for a few hours from camp, although i usually do i felt like staying in camp instead. However i felt compelled to come home this time so i did using my intuition as a guide.

Sure enough once i got home and showered (8pm), as i laid in bed the neighbors started shouting
"FIRE FIRE! Call Everyone go Downstairs NOW!"
Then i'm like WTF?!?!, told dad call sis faster come home from neighbor's house and put Baby Tesse (my cat) in a basket and go down. Little did i have time to realize that i was actually half naked i made my way to the 4th floor when the fire was reported. There were so many things running through my mind, i was afraid for the worse seeing people on fire or worse dead and burnt corpses but at the same time i saw everyone going downstairs and nobody going to see the extent of the fire. So i went lor,,,,,haha

Fire escape (staircase not lift) the lights were all off it was pitch black and i walked down 4 stories feeling my way also checking if anything metal was hot. Got to the floor it was hard to see with smoke and shit everywhere, knocked on the door and maid called me to rush in. Saw a man trying to put out the fire on the stove. Apparently the maid left a big pot of oil on high heat to deep fry chicken, but left the oil burning too long as she attended to a infant and toddler in the house as the parents were at work.

To summarize the entire cooking area was charred black and burnt and metal parts of the cooking area even melted, the man couldn't put out the fire so i stepped in. This is how it went

Mark to Maid : "Do you have any flour? "

Maid to Mark: "No! No! i don't have flower"

Mark to Maid : "Ok ok calm down stop crying, where's the
children now and do you have milo?"

Maid to Mark : "Children down with neighbours,
milo i don't think have, (crying mad)."

Mark to Maid : "Do you have rice then? Uncooked raw rice?"

Maid to Mark : "Ya Ya have!"

At this point she go grabs a bucket and scoop instead of the rice i asked. During which i made sure all electrical circuits around the blaze was off.
*Fire still enrages and cuts the already pointless coversation*

Mark to Maid : "Nasi Putih tat masak"
(Means uncooked white rice, i think she was Indonesian)

Maid to Mark : "Ada" (Have)

Had to speak malay it was the only way althought the guy was pure oblivious to what i was saying. She hands me a 5kg bag of Royal Umbrella Brand Rice lol, quite expensive i must say but then rich family. So i open pour rice over fire and all around, even got some on the floor. FIRE OUT MISSION SUCCESSFUL.

All this time i was only wearing shorts and no shirt or anything lol, and once the father of the house came in, he thought the maid was crying cause i raped her and the guy who initially tried to put out the fire caught me! HAHAHAHA WTF LA! Then after some explanation i said anything i'm on the 7th floor and i went home straight just before a friend came over and i shared this exact chain of events lol. Interesting Day i must admit, sure beats staying cooped up in camp. Besides damages done to ego (paiseh), the household suffered the costs of changing the stove and walls of a 2metre radius, at lease the kids and the maid was safe.

Thank God that just 2 days before the incident i happened to be listening to a fire safety talk, although i already have put out fires in the past, it sure was good to have a quick refresher course.

YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO PREPARED FOR ANYTHING!

Friday-Sunday

11am Saturday
Super tired, just woke up and now in a taxi fighting the zZz monster. Now making my way with mum and sis to a small party, been invited to someone's house for deepavali which was supposed to start at 1pm but it's now 2pm. Partially due to the fact that there's a MASSIVE TRAFFIC JAM WTF! ~ Well today is $1/litre Day. Meaning the price of automobile fuel. Can you possibly imagine the amount of cars filled with KiaSU people lining up.

10Pm Friday (Night Before)
One of the reasons i was late making me way this afternoon cause last night was with Chris, Bryan, Geof and Kris (shorter name to rmb lol) slacking at my poolside. It was a swell night had chats played poker and tai-ti etc and chit chat all night long till like 5am. Chris wasn't feeling so happy kinda down which is rare for a funny guy like him so invited him over and called his friends to join us as well, i supplied some drinks such as orange juice, green tea, jonny walker RED Label and Absolute Vokda to keep the night going, little did i know that chris was gonna make me drink with him all the way till the bottle was drained, or in other words the best he could lol, it wasn't long till he was way passed out which then spoiled my mood as i got changed to go out! LOL. So spent the time chatting with his friends, some of which i know already when we play online gaming, the other gal kris for short, just got acquainted with her, she's actually a successful model which is damn cool la. Oh oh oh there was this part bryan was playing with matches then he flicked it by mistake into her blouse! LOL OMG! it burnt her stomach right next to her naval. It was like a small bubble but i'm sure judging by the size it won't scar and affect her modeling career lol. Well at lease i know all of them better now cause when chris invited me out with them i'm always saying no kinda paiseh but then now it's a different case so it's cool. Not long after brother chris woke up and geof sent them all home, nice of him. It was already nice enough he and kris took orders for our McDonald's of which me watching my diet and all didn't eat =(

3Pm Saturday
Just left the small party, didn't realise it was deepavali lol, anyhow mums and sis is still there, i seriously enjoyed myself and had fun. This family hosting the function at their house i've known since i was a baby, well pretty much family friends. Their eldest son is my old childhood friend of which until now i'm just got reacquainted with, spending the last 2 hours chatting up a storm and recalling all those long lost memories. For instance when we were 7 we would stay up and watch all those laser Disc movies and remain awake just enough to watch the first cartoon the next morning, aww good times! There was actually a point in my life that i wondered if i had any childhood friends left since i kept leaving the country from time to time at years at a time.
Anyways now on my way to Serangoon MRT which is like 5 mins walking distance from their place, meeting up with some of my POLY friends there before meeting up with everyone else at ION Orchard, oh craft is joining us as well, since i don't have time to meet everyone thought of inviting different groups of friends together to get acquainted, you can never have enough friends i always say! Problem is tonight i am stuck have a Birthday to go to and at the same time some group gathering at Timber at Boat Quay, it sucks to choose balls. But then again going home sounds like a good thing too! I need rest and sleep to study the next day, sian-ness!

6Pm Saturday
Been shopping with Yuhui, Ryan, Edwin, Su Zhen and craft, some people couldn't turn up as they were busy as well (i can imagine!). As usual Susan is always late! Ok ok give you chance since your always working.
At ION there's this vineyard at the top floor, apparently you can mix and match you own alcohol with respective designed bottles which is so cool la. It's not those hard liquor which is even better! It's like tropical berry with a sprinkle of alcohol or something like that, low in alcohol content which is good for those of us who don't really drink a lot and just like a small kick to flavor (15-25% alcoholic content).
Well that's what we got for ShuYi's present, well Edwin did i mean (See Picture Above), of which if it wasn't for craft he would had left it behind at PASTA MANIA. Dinner was alright, although Su Zhen kept trying to order me around to get her a menu and help her other her dinner lol, crazy girl she think i what haha. After dinner it was neo-print time?!?! WTF! haha well it was fun i can say, we took a total of like 15 shots, now just need to wait for Yuhui to upload them to me but here are pics of what i got.Sometimes it's amazing how despite our schedules be it army/uni/work/plans we all still make time to meet up with one another as frequent as possible, guess that's why the last 4-5 years it explains why we're all close as hell despite all the crazy shit that frequently hits the fans all around us.

9Pm to Present
Super tired is the word, decided not to go out any further so called me mates to apologize, can't go out 2 full nights in a row, my body might just die. Shared cab with Su Zhen, Yuhui and Ryan, and almost fell asleep instantly at the front seat. For the last 45 mins been blogging this while watching Lord of the Rings with the family, once it's over it's off to bed, till next time =)

Sick

Well wasn't feeling well today, whole night kept sneezing and stuff, so ended up watching a few movies to pass the time. Need to wake up at 5am to make my way to base, so won't be online till wed or most probably friday. Supposed to go off to base today instead but forgot had the option to go Monday morning as well, as a result regrettably canceled a few plans in the process to give my body some time to rest especially since will be exercising on phase 2 this week at the gym and track.

Friend of mine sent me this video to watch, quite an old song which most of you will recognize almost instantly so have a watch, it has a little sad story as well. About a lovely young couple, where the boy signed onto the U.S. Marines just to have a better life for he and his girlfriend i guess in terms of financial stability or some shit. Anyways it's sad so go watch it.



Really tired just played 2 games of dota with chris and the fellas, gonna slp now.
Nitex

Saturday's

OMG la slept at like 9am-1pm today, like 4 hrs only zZz. Watched harry potter 5 (Half-Blood Prince) while everyone was asleep since i didn't watch it before, quite silly compared to the book, it was more about couple and jokes more then suspense and drama compared to the book. Sis is behind me telling me that her fren said it was a waste of time, i now couldn't agree more, although Ginny Weasley and Hermonie Granger are hot! OKOK STOP! ENough with the FICTIONAL FETTISH =_="

1pm liao made my way to town with craft since he stayed over the night before. On the train there were these 4 people, 3 guys and a girl who kept looking at me. Once i took of my ear piece they were calling my name, to my horror I DON'T KNOW WHO THE HELL THEY ARE! WHAT THE FISH! How awkward?!?!

Anyhow's,,,,,MEt up with my poly friends who were kind enough to accompany me to Sim Lim Square to buy my 8Gb SD Card for mum's mp4. Then we all sat down and chit chat for a few hours before moving to STARBUCKS to chit chat again for another few hours LOL. Good to see all of them again, i've been quite distant especially when they go for K-BOX gatherings as i don't sing that many chinese songs WAIT CORRECTION! i don't memorize that many chinese songs, i'm such a failure to mum's lol, only she speaks the language properly compared to me.
Sometime later it was toilet break! Had to pee out all that caffine! lol!


Pumped into Ninja who happened to be passing by, stupidly enough i said this :

Ninja - Mark : Hey man, nice seeing ya again!

Mark-Ninja : Yea man how's life?

Ninja-Mark : Not bad, shall meet up sometime yea?

Mark-Ninja : Yea sure see you tomorrow bye!
I think i'm just plain dumb or stupid la! lol. I can't multitask that's for certain when sms-ing and talking to people at the same time, gotta learn to break the habbit!

Anyways went shopping afterwards bought this new bag, although everyone tells me i have like a lot of different bags why do i need summore?

The ANSWER ? :


You can never put enough things into a bag, that's why you should have one of all sizes and all occassions. True?

Okok better sum it up, my cat is now jumping all over my bed and sitting on my tv zZz. So after shopping i saw Jane (another coincidence), but i didn't really say hi and she was talking to someone. I sms-ed her instead and when she told me i think to come and find her i already left Bugis on a train back home to pasir Ris. Once again it's our schedules.....


So anyhoo! GTR got off at tamp towards the interchange and i went to T1, had a chat with Ricky and his fren before waiting for the shuttle bus to bring me home. Darn shuttle bus however didn't come for like 30 mins, so i gave up waiting and took a cab. Opened my wallet to pay and i realised i didn't withdraw any money from the bank! WTF! uncle was nice enough to let me go upstairs to my little red piggy bank to get some money out and the best part was he stopped the pay meter so i didn't have to pay for the duration of going upstairs and down again.


OKOK tired tired, gonna watch a few movies with tess and sis since she just got home, mum and dad went out on a midnight movie date woo WOOT followed by some fancy dinner lol. Wish i had a relationship as strong as them, can you imagine your first and last gf/bf all the way till marriage. Awesome!

>>>>Here's some pics courtesy from Sarah



Friday, October 16, 2009

Well today is bookout day from PayaLebar Airbase, pretty much took my time to book out. Me and Denny decided to take our time and let everyone take the peak hour bus traffic while we sat in bunk chilled out play PSP, had cup noodles and took a SLOW shower, something we don't usually get to do very often in army as many would know.

Anyhow on the bus trip we both dozed off, he saving energy to meet up with his gf and i well just felt like sleeping lol. Got off the bus then *BAM!* denny fell off the bus and landed *SPLAT* on the bus stop pavement! haha wtf?!?! Apparently he was still asleep, somehow that legend managed to sleep walk off the bus but forgot about the last step to the ground. But after me and someone helped him up he was bleeding. Just nice i have Dettol Antiseptic Wipes and plasters. Never know when those come in handy haha.

Reach tamp met up with mum had a chat then craft came, bought dinner and did shopping and went back home. Craft and i set up a little LAN shop at my place with a couple of computers and started gaming all the way ever since. Quite a boring way to spend the night i must add but well tomorrow is gonna be fun.

Oh i'm really stressed out about my 21st,,,got a 100 people on the guest list, and these people are the ones worth inviting not those anyhow invite people. problem is i can't accommodate so many, well i can if i spend $$$$$$$$$$$. jialat la. Melissa tagged a suggestion of kite party! lol sounds fun. We see how, ok back to gaming....

Stay Tuned

zZz

Hey guys so you know, my off schedule is wed 5pm-11pm and on friday evenings till sunday 11pm. It's easier saying it here as it's really difficult to tell everyone one by one that i'm in camp. After all not everyone knows i'm in army. Okok in a rush mood so i'll make it quick, i just got home and i need to go back to camp in like a few hours and it's already 820pm! zZz.

Ok well for the past few days i've had friends calling me up to make plans, to go out for dinner, meet up and catch up with long lost time. Great YEA! but then again i'm stuck in camp, i can't go out and that sucks balls. Some friends i haven't seen in at lease 8 months to some i meet every few weeks. One person who i really wanna see so badly is Jane, goodness our schedules for the last 6 months always clashed and this was the last 2 days messages.

Jane-Mark : " Dinner tonight?"
Mark-Jane : " I can't in camp at Eunos. Tomorrow at 5 they'll let me out. How's then?"
Jane-Mark : "Haha tmr i'm going out. No problem we'll have chance. Maybe Thur?"
Mark-Jane : "Lol my off schedule is wed 5-11pm of freedom and fri 5pm - sun 11pm. It'll be like this for another 4 weeks before i get office hours. Sorry about that how bout btw fri-sun?"
Jane-Mark : "Difficult cos i need to work..."
....From this point onwards it's no hope....

This is my life, the army life, how pathetic as you can see.
To MAKE MATTERS WORSE>>>>>>
In about 3 weeks is my 21st, already "so-called" have a guests list but on the same day is my final exams! zZz every year for the past 6 years on the 3 Nov is an exam. Sucks to be me honestly. So yea ok why not have it on the weekend which will be the 7th Nov (Sat). to my horror i have 2 birthdays to go to on that same day! sucks to be me man really. Now i have to think how to plan the birthday etc, or maybe just scrap the idea and go out with friends, easier!

We shall see how this goes....

On Another note, A few tragic cases in camp. A hawker stall owner who sells vegetarian food. Nice old man i must add, accidentally got his hand caught in between a Sugar Cane Roller, It's those machines which crushes things such as Sugar Cane Stems for their juices. The stall has been closed the last few days, and i'm not sure how the seriousness of the injury is, i just hope that a man such as himself has insurance or at lease some kinda aid from the army. It's damn tragic and cruel.

I come to realise that the worse things happens to those who are innocent, those who do no wrong! I find life rather unfair this way, but then again others think the exact opposite. Some people reckon that it's what you did in your past life or what you did within your lifetime that leads to these series of events.
Since we're on the topic, here's an extended version of Justin Timberlake's song, old song but still worth a watch. Quite interesting acting feat Scarlet Johnson
CRAP I CAN"T UPLOAD, here's the link zZz
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Tlf3XZckzc

Anyways i'm better head off, oh yea MY facebook doesn't work, so i can't always reply your messages/comments or pictures etc, kindly take note thanks. KKz off to camp =_=

chao...

Random Pics at the bottom.

Sometimes do you get the feeling that things just keep happening over and over again for no apparent reason? That a person's repetitive actions and thoughts are the main reason you started avoiding her? I'm so F***ing pissed off, that this person had the nerve to call me and talk to me as if everything was ok, that we can just get back together as if i can forget the past. Please i'm not such a loser, i rather be single the rest of my life then come back to your bloody arms. *Dulan's*

Well on a much brighter note, lol, LAst few days have been going out with friends and family etc. Friday after book-out accompanied Denny to get his Girlfriend's cake and look at the present. For years i didn't know he was attached lol, he never told me, he was always listening to my stories, gosh i sound like i talk a lot. But seriously such a lovely couple, wonder why i can't get mine to be like that lol. Anyhow met up with Sunshine and Shawn for coffee before heading home afterwards.
Then rested for like an hour before Lu Zhe and Weilie picked me up with a rental around midnight and headed up to Jalan Kayu for prata, then somewhere along the way we got lost LOL. Ended driving over to Ang Mo Kio Hub to watch a movie. Well that was what we intended till we realise that place don't do midnight movies! Argh! Damn waste of petrol. So drove back to E-Hub at Downtown East for Bowling. Quite a nice night played 4 games and seriously did a lot of stupid shits to last us all the way till 3-4am. Had Subway then went home by 5am.

Seriously people, there's nothing more satisfying then sleeping in on a Saturday morning, so that was what i did. Waking up only at 2am to go to Hafiz's place for Hari Raya Visiting. Mummy, Sis and myself headed over, it was nice to see the family again, had nice chats and stuffs, better when Hakam turned up with his Sister. All of us had a nice good 45 min chat etc before we had to go off. Funny point was when Hakam's Sister (After all these years i keep forgetting her name) asked to take a photo, without realizing i told hafiz and hakam to get into the pic and not her! OPPS! LOL, sorry dear.

Afterwards took mum and sis to bugis, got mum a surprise present for no apparent reason haha. Got her the creative Zen 8Gb mp4 player or something like that. We walked around for awhile before they had dinner and i went off to meet friends. MEt up with old army buddies, Randall and Zarf from BMT had coffee before Louis, Rachael, Ken and his Gf came over to meet up with me since they were in the area. Chit chat all the way till about 10pm balls. Then met up with some friends and took a cab home. Honestly too lazy to go into real details, but it was mostly shopping, (Window shopping), coffee and since i was on a diet, so i ate dinner when i got home while everyone else indulged on Carl's Junior =(

Spent the early hours of the morning chatting to friends and trying to learn how to install the software to this mp4 player, i swear it like has a mind of it's own. OH yea! When i was at bugis, someone tapped me and said " Hey mark, how's it going, shall meet up soon yea". Then before i could say "Who are you?" He walked off with his girlfriend zZz. I swear if people could just stay around for a reply once in awhile it will save the other a whole load of unethical thinking.
Well anyways i have quite a bit of studying to do, before i put movies in this mp4 for mummy and before i can actually go to the gym ALL BEFORE i book into camp. So yea that's gonna suck.

Spare the moment

Last few weeks, i've been talking to people, some i just made friends with. The same thing i always get is,
" What does the Future have in store for me?"

Well fellas the answer to this is simple, well this is my point of view so don't take it personally. Throughout my short lifetime i've come to experience that life is short, some choose to spend it waiting for the "right sign" while others live it day by day....In short i feel that people should stop waiting and seize the opportunity you have now, while your still young plan your steps get out there and make the best of your abilities. I have a friend who loves to dance, she made it first place or something like that in some competition. And i have a friend who loves to play games, so he made it top teams in the country which will play international in months to come. Get What i'm trying to say? No? well,,,,,,,,,

don't wait, start trying, treat every moment like it's your last, work hard play harder that's my motto. Oh and treat your friends like the world, cause at the end of the day they're the ones that will never leave you.

To Jerry, Trish, kelly, XM, Carmen and David, this is especially for ya =)
Loves to all

Last Few Weeks

Hey guys, hope you all have been doing well, having fun and the usual (army, school,work). Well I'm sorry i haven't blogged so much, been busy with Birthday's, outings, parties, F1 (awesome) and army. Just came back from a 4E1 gathering this now, okok i'm not in 4E1 but was asked to go, so just went =) nice to see some familiar faces once again and at the same time nice to get to know some others a bit better too....

Why does everyone the last few weeks keep asking me if i'm attached?? WTF!!!?!?!?!?,,,,just the thought of it is seriously sickening. I'm had my share of good and bad relationships and now i'm just really looking for a break. A break until the time i find someone special, kinda similar to how a boat traveling the far seas spots the light from a lighthouse far away in enchanted territory? LOL, okok can say i'm a little emo now but yea normal same-O-same-O wouldn't you say? haha.

Well tomorrow is another load of outings and stuff, so stay tuned yea. Will upload all the photos i've taken recently....

My sincere thanks to those who keep on talking to me, pushing me back on the track, and thanks for all the messages and compliments, will keep working hard on it to the END RESULT.

Cheers,
love always
