Alas, i am still late for my dinner session with my good old mates. The main topic of our chat were dominated by Army matters as CK just completed his confinement periods and were out in the civilian world. CK seems to be coping just fine in his BMT and i am glad that things is going just fine for him.

Went for a clubbing session with Qiang and Kiat. It had been a month or so since going to club with them, things hasnt changed as much in the clubbing scene. Drinks and the crowds remain the same. Bumped into Ting Ting and her friend's Cindy, a real coincidence considering we went to Madam Wong II prior changing the location to Double O. However, the main highlight of the night was meeting Diana through Ting Ting. Diana, a long lost primary school pal which i never met for eight to nine years. Its hard to believe that person was Diana as i could not recognized her at all. Fate had brought us together and we had a chat for a few minutes before leaving. Qiang got to knew a gal and he was already hugging the gal when i was about to leave the club. Bid Qiang and his new found friend goodbye and feeling a bit tipsy or rather sleepy then i took a cab home and slept very well till this morning.

Thats conclude my weekend.

Book out day!!!!!

A week of working in the secluded island. This week had been quite smooth, there isnt any problems surfacing and everything had went right. The mental taxing 4 weeks course of IPC ended on a high note after the tedious exercise on wednesday. The BIC really was an mental and physically taxing exercise. I was really dragging myself through and was rather slow when i mis-orientated when i was executing the back crawl. After the end of the exercise, i was irritated by the sand that was sticking throughout my entire body and i had to endure that feeling throughout the end of course briefing.

I really felt utterly ashamed when the IC flared up at one of my course mate. They threw some offensive remarks at each other when my course IC requested help from my course mate. I am not too sure what action or gesture by my course mate ignited the supressing feelings of my IC which he had felt since taking up the appointment as IC. But i can just make a conclusion that it was the uncoorperative behaviour from my course mate that really flare him up.

Back to the company line and feeling like a real instructor now. I was posted to platoon two of Gryphon Coy with three other instructors. I selected section two as i originated from section two when i was during my BMT phase. Seven men was placed directly under my care. I managed to talk to them for a few times and understand a small part of their mentality and how they are coping in this new course.

Hmm.......... A dinner session at 6 this evening. i had to stop here and edit my posy and add on more when i get back. Going to be late.

Argghhh , server down for a moment and i lost a post. What luck. Heard a song on channel MTV by You Hong Ming titled Lou Xia Ne Ge Nu Ren, The lyrics of the song and the music video together unfolds a rather sad story that leaves me an impression.

Finally my turn to use the computer after my bro finished some of his finished business.

Angela and Eliza mentioned to me about blog skins and stuff that could save me the hassle of meddling with those codes and still get the cool and funky blog layout. I had a few options shortlisted and still browsing for more.

Hmm...... Found one worth downloading. Looks real neat and nice, i guessed i have to try this out. Its quite good but far from perfect. Its simplicity is the forte of this layout and thats what i liked about it. I will settle down with this layout at the current moment and customised it along the way.

"Taaa Daaa", Some altering here and there and its ready for publishing. Judging by the end product, i will give it a 5/10 points for this one.

By the way i decredited the original designer by erasing some codes. Wakakaka, thats really mean of me. I had to do away with the guestbook thingy as i deem it rather troublesome and in exchange display my ICQ and email so that anyone can shares any thoughts with me by emailing or ICQing me.

Munching on my bee hoon and sitting in front of the comp. My mind still a blank on whatever design i'll adopt.

Suddenly i recalled a quote from my CO thats worth penning(hmmmm.......) or rather keying it down.

There goes:

"To be able to think out of the box, the pre-requisite(typo err??? bah too lazy to check the dict) is to know where is the box"

CO tryin to relayed the message across to us the importance of personal mastery.

God.... Its hard to design my desired prototype. My artistic feel has always been atrocious.

Grrrrrrrr............ Still look so sucky as ever after so many tries. Bah, cool down and take 5.

Ahhhhhhhhh.............. XML.......... GOsh it have been a good one long year since looking at lines after lines of coding. Look like i have to start tampering with those menacing codes once again for the beautifying of my mighty "BLOGGING" project.

Sigh~~~ better start working on it now.

Damn, Sis back. Maybe i gotta put this stuff on hold till tomorrow.
