[Tuesday, 16 May, 2006] It had been quite long since we last had such busy day. Things fell together at the same time to tear u into pieces. Of all, the sudden announcement of parade on the next day forced our preparation work, causing severe lack of manpower. Things started after Ben left the office …

My mum’s high fever
It was really difficult for me to communicate with my mum. She assumed she was strong at her age, with some long term medication somemore, told my younger brother she was not afraid of being infected by his cough. Somehow, she managed to get her lesson when she got the cough and sore throat, most …
Never understand
One thing I cannot understand about my mum is that she keeps complaining about the high electricity bill each month but she never wants to save up. She knows well air-con is very energy-consuming but she still insists in using it every night. At first I thought after my younger brother had enlisted, things would …
Finally a new handphone line
I had an $11 mobile phone plan that my mum never had to pay extra money for my bill each month except for the $5 caller-id charge. It was an old plan from M1 services. Every month, I saw my friends or my elder brother having exploded bills, but I restricted myself so well that …
Swimming and the shopping
Today was quite a fruitless day. I set the swimming venue at Clementi so that Kenny could join in; nevertheless, it was not as well-planned. Kenny’s routine was to go to the gym first before swimming and tanning at Clementi Swimming Complex. He was comfortable to meet us at noon time but Gilbert insisted that …
Sam hit the news header
As expected, the weekends were hectic; instead of getting more rest, I shagged myself out even more. Last Friday was the Signal forty years anniversary parade and luckily we could leave at eight plus in the night, unlike trainees and regulars. However, hours of time was wasted at the beginning of the weekends. Saturday morning, …
Being sensible and responsible
I was lying on my mattress while watching television show, knowing I was tired enough to doze off but I was too tired and had to obligate my disabled body. My mum woke me up for my phone ringing thrice. At first I felt frustrated but later I realised it was our usual trend when …
Chinese New Year 2006
The holidays of Chinese New Year were fast over and every year it seemed to be getting worse. There were little contacts with my father’s side’s relatives and with the death of my grandma a few years back, there was no gathering at the Bedok house. For the last two years, my uncle hosted invitations …
Wilson and Pauline are bad companies
There was this SMS from Wilson late at night, asking me if I wanted to go for drinks. At first, I thought he had quarrel with Pauline until I realised both of them were side by side. They came down by CCK and I thought Mingen was with them but Jianhao was inside the car …
Absurd trip to Suntec City
My elder brother asked my mum and me out to Suntec City Carrefour. It was around 8pm already and I decided we take a cab even though there were three available direct buses. I paid for the cab fare, the second time in the day, which was a miracle. I had a bad feeling when …
