Another week has just flew past since the last blog. Let's try recollecting the past one week's events.

Monday
======
I can't really remember anything eventful on Monday, nor there was anything else I can remember that's worth writing.

Tuesday
======
Charles made a big joke out of me. Wonder if what he was thinking. But it was just a lewd dream of his, that potrayed me and another camp mate. What was he thinking!

Wednesday
========
The first Wednesday with LIFE games in the afternoon deleted from our routine forever. Anyway we can't get enough feet to play on Wed afternoon, so might as well.

Thursday
=======
Morning soccer was great. Wonder how did I manage to do it, but it was 2 goals and 3 assists! Hee...! Then in the evening I had to go buy my own bedsheet and a present for the Earlynn's birthday celebration on Sat. On Wed night I managed to jio Wenhui and Guiqiang..woah! And so Wenhui and I walked to Guiqiang's side and then we walked together to Northpoint. However John Little didn't sell bedsheets, so I decided to search for the present instead. There wasn't much choice so I decided to go Causeway Point. Unfortunately, I felt bad having to drag them there too, so I said I would go alone. To my pleasant surprise they were all onz for it too. So we made our way by MRT to CWP. Then we had a great time searching for my bedsheet...hee. Both of them had great ideas....really appreciate it as in the end I got one design that I liked very much. Then we went on to look for the present. I thought of getting a Tollyjoy cutlery set (for babies that is!) for Earlynn but I guessed it was still too early so we went on to see other shops like the Jigsaw Puzzle shop. Although the puzzles were all great looking, but they were over my budget. You know 3 birthday parties over 2 weeks isn't very healthy to your pocket...so I proceeded to another shop. We walked past Kiddy Palace so I thought maybe a toy would do well...haha. In the end I picked a Sesame Street cutlery set(bowl, spoon and fork). It was the last one on the shelf! And the Cookie Monster picture on it was so cute.....haha. It was all the ideas on the issue of procreation in Singapore lately that I thought I would once again make some joke on it. Anyway Earlynn's attached, so encouraging her to get married is not too far fetched a joke...haha. After that I asked if the guys wanted to eat a cheesecake, but they all said one cake is too much for the 3 of us. So I thought I would treat them to Starbucks instead for their time. (We walked so much!) However I didn't know CWP's Starbucks (or issit Coffee Bean) had already disappeared, so we had to go to Northpoint again...haha. In the end we were chatting them from 9.45 to 12.00am!!! Wenhui was clearing leave so not so bad, but Guiqiang only told me half way that he was on off on Friday! Kaoz. So that leaves me having to book in the next day. Haha. But since it was great company, so no problem. And they got to witness Singapore Slowest Drinker in action..(one Frappucino in 3 hrs! And this is not the record I hold) haha... We walked home together and dispersed one by one reluctantly.....For the record I didnt manage to treat them as they refused my treat..ahh. Such nice friends I've got.

Friday
====
Second person to book in! So the long chat we had didn't affect me much. But of course I actually felt very tired as the day passed by. So much shit to do. I mean I should be eng eng cheng cheng since my understudy had been around for nearly 4 mths, but of course, my superiors still felt I should be doing the work. Anyway, I had duty that day so I just needed to clear the work V set, with the deadline before 5pm as she was on off on Sat. LL, so I struggled through with some misunderstandings but mananged to finished off her before 4.45pm. Then I siamed to the duty room to commence my duty for the evening. Nothing much happened except my officer talked to me about some adult stuff like renovation, payment, and money stuff....it was a very helpful chat we had. I learnt alot from it. Anyway I didn't sleep well for the night because my pillow sucked...

Saturday
======
I thought I could siam early and then go for LIFE game earlier but to my horror Chief called in and asked for a pin code so that he could top up his car's fuel. The whole of Logistics was on LWE! Sighz. Both officer and I had to dial here and there, and finally I was tasked to get the code from the MTWO's drawer! Simple task I thought. Unfortunately the worst happened. As I was taking the key out from the keypress, Hd Log popped out from his office and asked what I was doing! I stayed calm (given his notoriety for tekaning) and reported Chief needed something from MTWO's drawer. He LL and ignored me. Haha. I proceeded cautiously in case he yelled from within his office, and quickly I got the code and reported back to the officer with ease. I wonder what would Hd Log say on Monday when all his men return from the LWE. What to do. Chief's order aren't to be defied. Anyway there weren't enough feet for the soccer game, it was like 3vs4 because we only had 8 men but one of them was a stagnant goal defender. Soon Sgt Tan joined in the action, but due to the sheer techical superiority of Louis, Justin and me, the other team with the ever powerful Rensheng still had too much to cover. I didn't really felt it was challenging or fun...anyway I still managed to rack up 2 assists in the game.

In the evening the birthday celebration was at Bishan Singing World KTV. (Similar to Party World cos under the same company). Jane my best council partner called me to see if I could bring her to the place because she didn't know where it was exactly. Being the 'human directory' how can I not oblige (and to have a chiobu walk with me alone seems too good an offer to resist? *although i neva really liked to be with Jane much...we are too similar in terms of personalities (egoistic, kinda fake, u noe) but she was just more sociable while I was more diligent) blah.. anyway she wanted to meet me at Khatib as i could have juz hopped onto the train which she was in when she passed by from Yishun, but I had to get a wrapper first for the present so I decided to meet her at Junction 8. The walk to the ktv was short, but the birthday gal hadn't reached the place first so Jane asked if we could go to the supermarket for a walk. Haha. I joked that it was the last time I would be walking with her in the supermarket cos soon she will be alone and busy picking fish like a housewife...wahaha. She had plans to get married later while she clarified her bf would prefer getting married earlier at around 26 yrs old. That's at least 3 yrs later. If going by Jane's idea of getting married at 30. That would be at least 10 yrs later. Well, didn't she worry if her bf would find someone else instead of waiting so long? She was bent on being a careerwoman...well....what to do. Anyway the ktv soon commenced. I knew only Jane and the birthday girl. The rest I knew them but they didnt know me so it was kinda boring as nobody talked to me. Kian Huat, a friend introed by my 7seas bro as one of our sch's best soccer player, was in the group but he was too far to talk to me. Anyway I managed only to sing one song - "Huang Hun" and I had to leave because I already made plans to go back home in time to watch the FA Cup semi final Arsenal Vs Man U. That was great planning as conincidentally Jane wanted to go somewhere near my home. And Kian Huat too! It was actually another party they had to attend at blk 864. haha. so I had people to accompany me back home. We had a great chat, a short walk to NTUC together before we separated. Then i rushed for the betting outlet cos Jiaxing smsed me that he was there. I told him to wait for me there. When I reached there I asked him if he saw my father but he said no. But my father appeared soon in a min's time after he finished writing his bets. Woah. I think Jiaxing didn't really see him because he was more concerned with his bets. Anyway I bought the bets and we proceeded back home to watch the match. Eventually Man U prevailed. Wah lao. Now they can continue boasting they still hold the record of havin the BIG Treble (Liverpool had their Little Treble) so what to do. Anyway Jiaxing lost unfortunately for this match. I lost 2 bets but won the other 2 and made a profit of $11...

Sunday
=====
The first thing I did when I woke up was to check my handphone. I was damn happy when I read Jinki's message. Woah. He's finally back from Taiwan. I missed him a lot sia.. den there was this message from Earlynn regarding the present. She wanted to find out who gave it to her. Haha. I replied "Does it matter?" So she instantly knew it was me. Anyway I am damn glad that she liked the present and I message her to keep the present until she had a kid to use the cutlery set! hahaha. Hope she didn't mind the joke. Anyway, until now, I had been spending a lot of time at the cemetry and then at the collaborium(is this how u spell it, the place where a lot of those containers containing the ash and remains of your passed away relatives are housed). My bro made a joke of himself by takin my grandpa's yi zhao (the photo on the tombstone) and using it as a wallpaper. Then he said the photo would act as his protection amulet....haha. I dunno what to say liao..

Just read some emails from the guys and Chris, seems like he's living well in Taiwan. Derek is doing well in Australia too, though he's busy mugging.....hmm....but I guess they have their own lives now and we have our own to deal with. Let's hope everyone lives well and we will get to gather again soon with new ideas and new stories to share...

Regards
Jeffire..

PS: Woah, Friday the 7seas are gonna meet up again...hee. Can see Jinki and the chaps liao.
