This morning when i was busy browsing through the temp jobs under the CLASSIFIED session of Straits Times , i came across this store assisstant post available and eligible for fresh ORD personnel. The duty is simple-carry and pack goods and some admin stuffs. SO i called up RECRUIT EXPRESS and they told me to go down to CPF building for interview at bloody TAMPINES at 2pm oh my..Besides that,i have to get down to Bugis for another job interview at 5pm.
I ate a few mouth of bee boon bought by my mum which was actually meant for breakfast before i changed and set off to Tampines. Took 969 and I slept through e entire journey. When i reached Tampines Bus interchange, all of e sudden i got this feeling to go back to my camp haha because i used to book in like this. Got down e bus and i started to scout for CPF building. Luckily the building was plainly visible from the bus interchange as it is located just opp e interchange. RECRUIT EXPRESS the words clearly displayed on e signboard in shades of yellow and blue. The place was basically in chaos, people rushing here and there like ants on hot bricks. Telephones ringing ppl talking and rushing all over e place LOL lol lol so stress one meh? I waited for like 15 mins before this guy attended to me and handed me a form for me to fill up my particulars. After 10 mins he directed me into a small confined room with a small table and two chairs.
He: Hi Kevin nice to meet you
Me: Nice to meet u too..
He:Anyway Kevin The post that u applied for is actually a permanent job.
Me: Oh ok i see ( inside me i was cursing and swearing and why e hell u all put it under temp job for fresh ORD personnel man? Why? why? why? )
He: But no worry i have got other temp jobs to offer you
Me: Relieved because i din make a wasted trip.
Ok so he asked me for my expected salary and he told me there is a available admin post at an oil factory located at TUAs area.Transportation provided. So I gave him e greenlight to send my resume to that oil factory. Monthly salary of $1300 to $1400 good deal anyway luckily he got offered me temp jobs or else eeeeeeeeeeee.............After e interview i made my way to Tampines Mall and i bought myself two Samuel and Kevin shirts because i support my own brand =D hahaha...
Made my way down to Bugis, that place is forever damn crowded!! REcently i have making trips down to Bugis man buy helmet buy shirts buy this buy that etc. Treated myself to Burger King man the sundae pie is damn sweet .\ /. 100% no no for diabetic ppl! After e meal i start to look for venue for interview at around Kelantan lane.Wah lao called up Jason who was e person in charge to ask for directions and despite giving specific directions i still couldn't find e place. Circled around kelantan road area and i came across LIM AH BOY shop!! This bloody shop was so hard to find la i spent 3 hrs trying to locate this shop the previous trip lo. They sell so many full helmets and i was really spoilt for choice O.O Called up Jason again haha this time he made an effort to come down to AH BOY shop to guide me to his workplace. Actually i want to apply for admin position but when he told me admin and IT post were taken up, my heart sank. Wah lao why?? The only post available was temp manager and sales promoter. Though they said no experience was needed i know i am not up to e job please...... Their company is currently promoting and advertising this health product a magnetic bracelet which can improve blood circulation without you doing any exercise. Went through e interview and i wasn't feeling comfortable with e post offered, was confused and lost. The lady asked me to go home and if i got shortlisted they would inform me at around 7pm. In e end made my way home at around 6 plus...I actually forgot i have tuition session at 3pm it toally slipped my mind.Called up my student mum and apologised haha...
9pm and no call received haha knew it myself that i wasn't shortlisted. Ok la i ok with it. Went for a hard run at around 10 30 pm.Ran a good 10km and i timed the run. 46mins plus for 10km that quite good already haha timing improved..that means my fitness has improved too! Did some push ups pull ups sit ups and dips b4 going home and drowned myself with 100 plus.. :P

Spend my last night at my uncle house. Stayed at my grandma house til 11 plus with my cousins and thought it was kindda late so stayed over at my uncle hsu for e nite with my cousins. Early in e morning at 7am i was awoken by my baby cousin Jia Xin haha near six mths old can be so chirpy already lol. Played with her til afternoon before making my way back home.
Today I skipped my muay thai session as my ankle is giving me some problems and i didn't want to miss the last episode of Ch 8 The Golden Path drama series. Ending was just like what i had expected, Bth Jin long and Kaijie died. I gonna miss that show man and the theme song 'Lu' and 'She Bu De' really suits e show very much. Whats more they are sang by Mi Lu Bing! Guess i should be able to get my motorbike before CNY and i am so excited about it! I didn't know i can get myself a motorbike this early and i really still can't believe that i have passed LOL. Bought myself a nice full helmet which cost me round 200 plus expensive! but since i like it i told myself why not? Black Black Black haha black is my colour =) Yeah finally a rider loves the thrill of riding =) Talk about black recently saw the new police advertisement featuring Police elite special STAR(Singapore version of Fei Hu Dui) unit haha all clauded in black, black helmet black goggles black armour black MP5 basically everything black haha. If i get into police one day i am not going to be just a ordinary police officer but i want to be the elite and i want to be special. Nth guarantees me that i can make it but its worth a try for as long as i know i have done my best i know i won't let myself down for this is e spirit i cultivated after my 1yr 10mths as a red beret soldier in S'pore. People ask me why i harbour e thought of becoming a police officer, reasons are simple...I just hope i can do my part in maintaining e security in Singapore and of course to uphold justice and filter those bad assess away from our society.

Went for thai boxing lesson with Terence and his friend weijie at Royal Thai fitness training center located at Novena. Met up with them at 7:30pm but Wei jie was kindda late so in e end we attended the lesson at around 8pm like that LOL partly because of the only operating faulty cargo lift which took forever to reach 5th storey.
After that me and Terence rushed to e toilet and got changed up before making our way to the training ground. The training ground is an open place and its kindda like located on a rooftop type and the class is small. Majority of the students there were females! Nowadays girls are much tougher than i thought hahaha... The Shifu asked us to jog a few rounds and do some strectching for warm up before we started off with the intensive tough training which was tougher than i expected =\ First we did continuous skipping for 5 mins with this rubber hose which was heavy and it hurts whenever it got in contact with your skin PAIN! The skipping left our body almost drenched in sweat and our muscles warmed up. Next we did push ups before this instructor so called our instructor got us started with side kicks push kicks kneeing with heavy sandbags continuously for 15 mins trust me it was very very tiring! Did a total of more than 200 kicks.
Stopped for awhile to drink up and wipe our sweat before Shifu ordered us to step into the mat for kicking session. He would blocked our kicks with a pair of cushion and at the same time correct our kicking techniques. Terence was e first to try out , his physcomotor got a bit of problem but overall his kicking posture is almost there. Next was Wei jie he got strength but his kicking posture a bit off last was me..because i have got muay Thai history the Shifu was very satisfied with my kicking and posture and he tested my physical limits by asking me to kick alot alot more times than Terence and Wei jie and in the end he smiled and said 'this guy is very good!' hahaha... But i got many small small little blood clots on both of my feet in e end ha...Next we did 50 push ups again! After the push ups i was feeling drained already and i was shocked when the shifu called for us and asked us to do 30 assisted pull ups 30 monkey jumps and 30 monkey kicks! Because recently i was only focucing on running rather than physical strengthening i found that it was simply a laborious task to complete the set of exercises! So this continue until 9pm before we ended our session with Shifu and our instructor. Besides ytd night class got this super hot yet tough girl who really caught our attention haha she was damn fierce and hot like a 'xiao la jiao'
Went for a hot shower in the toilet, the service was good! They provided us with towel and shower foam haha.. Felt so refreshed after e shower but both of my feet were in pain!! But no pain no gain and i cant be bother with it because Terence told me bro we are commandos! We've been through more shit than this! Yeah bro i agree, a man shd never be scared of pain and hardships whats more we are commandos. After taking the shower, we headed off for dinner at Velocity , three of us had herbal half chicken set at the foodcourt haha. Was dead tired, headed home immed to recharge our body haha.

Went for bike hunting session with my cousin yesterday in the morning haha took bus no. 853 all e way to Serangoon. Alighted at the stop juz besides Serangoon fire station and we proceeded to Mah pte limited on foot which is just in the vincinity. From a distance we could see a wide variety of motorbikes of different models displayed in the Mah building through the glass panels and they are simply awesome! Went into e building and looked around,most of the bikes displayed in the air conditioned building belonged to class 2 or class 2A cat whereas all the class 2B bikes were displayed in the open outside the building...Oh man what the hell Saw my fav CBR 125r motorbike among the row of motorbikes and that sportsbike really melted me heart.The front fairing of that bike is simply awesome and eye catchy! But sad thing was it looked like it has been abandoned there for months. There was a thick layer of dust covering it and the services given by the staff over there was just so so only. Unlike the boon Siew Honda shop their CBR is well displayed in its awe in the air conditioned showroom. Actually my main purpose of going to mah building was to check out their CBR125 price and i found out their CBR is much more expensive than the price offered at Boon Siew Honda shop! So in the end i told my cousin there is no point buying from this shop and we headed off to Boon Siew honda shop near Bugis Street.
Took train from Potong Pasir to Little india. The station Potong Pasir really reminded me of Potong ice cream hahah.. Walked for a while before reaching Boon Siew building. That nice looking CBR is still there! Went in to check out every motorbikes in the shop , play with their throttle, clutch and brakes haha. Utimately i can only set on eyes on that CBR125 bike. Its a nice graphite black colour and its body a glittering shine under the spotlights in the showroom.Went to check out the price from the dealer and it was so much cheaper compared to MAh pte! Price offered was $8800+ with insurance etc etc included. Downpayment was $3360 and the balance will be payed over a period of max 3 yrs with each month paying only $173 a good deal for me! I have a few thousands saving which came from my past army allowances hehe thanks to you commando! highest allowance vocation in army. =) Hmm i get to get my cousin bf down to help out in the procedures as i am not 21 yr old yet. Conditions for paying installment is that i muz be at least 21 haha so no choice i gg to buy the bike under his name and for the money i will settle by myself of course! haha
Went to Bugis street to have lunch with my cousin before we shopped around bugis for new yr clothing and stuffs. At around 2 plus he went home and i proceeded to Expo to meet up with Yee shang and her friends. Another church session haha kenna persuaded by Yee Shang to go LOL. The church session is talking about forgiveness...to love we must forgive and to forgive we must forget and let go all the past bitterness,resentment and hatred. Easy to say but is it easy to convince yourself?? I wasn't much convinced by the pastor for i know it myself sometimes certain things certain grudges are there to stay. So for the entire session i can only agree 80percent with the pastor.
After the session went to City hall for dinner with the church group and that was when my mood started to plummet. As for what happened i don't feel like talking about it. I din talk much to the guys in the group for i really wasn't in the mood to talk or what. After an hr or so we headed home. Edwin phileo and Aur went off for supper i guess? Yee shang and rest of us headed home. During the entire journey me and Yee shang were entertained by eh whats that guy name huh i forgot haha but he is a cute chubby sec sch kid haha. After he left at ang mo kio station, only then i could have the time to talk more to Yee Shang. Oh ya talking to you made me felt so much better thanks for that man girl hope i can get to meet up with u soon!
Guys how do you guys feel when ppl refuse to reply to your SMS or question ha i just know that the feeling of not being valued as a friend sucks and i hate that. At least i know myself i am not that sort of ppl...

Yeah finally i got my class 2B license this morning at SSDC with 1st attempt! =) Oh right..one thing off my wishlist for e year. Indeed a good start of the year 2008 , hope it can be the best year of my life haha.
This morning woke up at 5 50am to prepare my stuffs and get myself mentally prepared for the TP. Set off at 6 30am and reached SSDC at around 7am. I couldn't get into sleep the previous because i was feeling damn nervous and i only managed to catch a couple hrs of sleep haha. On e way to SSDC i kept visualising the test route and recalling all the necessary actions n safety checks that i have to do to ensure i can breeze through the entire TP test. Went for warm up at 7 15am and after that around 9 30am the testers start to make their way down to do a roll call before starting the actual pract test. Haha saw Cze walking pass the testees waiting area and i went up and tapped her on her shoulder haha its been a long time since i last met u right. My tag no. is 51 haha and i got the bike from tag no. 1 who finished the test before me. So i waited for the tester to give me the hand signal before i throttle and start off my first TP test.
The entire test went well though i commited a few mistakes here and there but my riding skills are perfectly alright no wobbling no sharp wide turning no nothing except for failing to look out for traffic and blindspot haha. Stupid thing is we got to wait for 1 hr plus before getting our results and to some ppl who already knew that they had failed due to immediate failure, it was a hard time for them as they have to wait n wait to collect the already expected failed result. And for the rest of us it was a torment, the feeling of being kept in the suspense is terrible and my heart was beating faster n faster when the results was nearing as each sec tickles away.
Finally they called for us into the room and the testers made their way into the room to call out the failures by their number tags. I was praying very hard inside the classroom and my pulse was throbbing with fear and anxiety and for those who were called out i could really feel the sadness and disappointment they felt at that point of time. The people left in the room were getting fewer n fewer and suddenly there was a long pause and i saw the instructors closing the door, I was like are they kidding? I thought they were joking with us but no! Everyone left in the room start to cheer their hearts out! =) It means we have passed!!! =) I couldn't believe it i was dumbfounded at that moment before i regain myself back and join in with the hand shaking and hi 5 session with the rest of the guys. Some people were laughing to themselves while others stared into the space somehow couldn;t believe that they have passed. It was a damn shiok feeling i have never feel so happy before trust me for i really love bike ALOT like the rest of the guys in the room. They showed us a video highlighting the dangers of riding and how a guy cause the death of his pillion rider. It was sad really sad ,riding is dangerous but it can be a enjoyable experience if we do make it a habit to practise safety checks which alot of riders on the road are not doing due to laziness and recklessness. I told myself that i must be a safe rider no matter what for i really cherish my life lot. We also took the rider's pledge before collecting our results and applying for temporary license. Got to wait for 2 weeks before they mail me the photocard driving license haha yeah finally a qualified rider! :) Getting my bike soon lo!
Once again thanks to those who sent me yr good luck smses, ppl like Cze, Alex, my cousin, my sisters etc etc thanks for the luck you guys have brought to me. Yeah =) I'm so happy!

Just updated NTU that i have decided to enrol in the programme reserved in August 2008 instead of the special term in May. There is no rush for me anyway and of course i can work n enjoy longer b4 sch starts. I have not touch books for like 2 plus yrs and i really wonder if i could get back the momentum to study. Things aren't that easy in uni , i have heard all sort of complaints and negative feedbacks from my seniors who are currently slogging their guts out to keep up with the pace in university.
Mechanical engineering. This is the course that i will be dealing with for 4 yrs and i have a feeling uni will be a sheer hell-hole for me. Ever since sec sch i do not have the slightest interest in physics and why the hell they put me in that course despite scoring badly for my A level physics? They shd have put me in mathematics course since i scored an A for it and it was my first choice. I have made several attempts to appeal for a change in course but they kept rejecting them. Damn if lets say i cant survive through the 4 yrs what shd i do? Back up plans have been swirling in my mind and i think the best alternative route to take is to sign on to be a police officer and then try my very best to work my way to be part of the police elite force.
Ran a good 2.4km on the night before yest timing 8:42 min hmm i want a better timing! Been running hard nowadays and very soon i will join my friends back for thai boxing! Scuba diving! how good if Singapore got parachuting course open to public haha i miss jumping out from airplane man. And how good if i can be a motorbike racer, a cave diver, a free faller, icer diver, icer skier,windsurfer etc etc I love to try sports that set my adrenaline rushing =)

Went all the way down to expo this afternoon to meet up with my sec sch friend Yee Shang and her bunch of interesting church friends. Haha damn weird leh during secondary sch i hardly talked to Yee Shang one and today we were like old good friends like that. It has been a long time since i last saw my secondary sch friends for i 've been busy serving army and stuffs after ORD. Yee shang looks as if she has shrunk haha but still the talkative and cheerful girl i knew back in sec sch days. She has been asking me to join her church session for the past weeks and everytime i turn her invitation down i feel so pai seiz and since i promised her that i will turn up today i must be a man of my words :)
The entire session lasted for 2plus hrs and it was indeed an eye opener for me! The people there are extremely welcoming and friendly and no one shd ever question their devotion and faith towards their religion which they strongly believe in. It was the first time i came across such a scene filled with so much celebratory atmosphere and i can really felt the love they have for GOD. The pastor is a great speaker and his voice is music to ears haha he is a great motivator who motivated us to set goals for ourselves and to stay focus in achieving them. Every sentence of his speech is so detailed and he never failed to bring his words into life GREAT! After all i felt that it was a positive experience for me though i might not be going back again but once again it was good. :)
Got to make few new friends through Yee Shang. They are Edwin, Elsa , Charles and oh shit i forgot most of their names!! LOL Edwin first i tot he was a pai kia dyed hair n pierced rings haha but no he is a nice guy to talk with and Elsa is one cute Taiwan girl haha commando always pronounced as kamando hahahahaha super cute man =) hmm hmm you asked me how to be commando right? here i tell u , u must be mentally and physically strong..never give up that easily, no height phobia, eyesight cannot be too bad, muz walk 72km before getting red beret and must carry heavy heavy loads and walked in the dark jungles for many hrs, many many sleepless nights during missions.. hmm hope got chance to talk to u again haha... And got this still serving Ns de forgot his name he loves trying clothes man lol. Ok not bad not a bad day made few new friends, got to meet up with Yee shang who i have not seen for ages. But one sian thing is marina square brought back bad memories but know what? I know there is better ones out there meant for me and i will make sure i cherish her lot :)

School starts today but not for me haha pity my sis got to wake up so early for school while i continued to sleep til 11pm. This feeling is damn shiok! I'm so free and this will continue until i try to find a job in mid jan and yes school will officially starts during August.
Went for circuit revision this evening for the fourth time for i wanted to perfect or at least improve my riding skills before TP next thursday morning but damn it! i wasn't really that satisfy with my performance during the revision. Revision after revision and i kept discovering new mistakes regarding my riding techiques and whats more, after i found a way to correct that particular mistake another new problem just pop out again...Good thing is my riding skill is improving but the bad thing is that my riding skill isn't that really good afterall. Today i did badly in the e brake, i have the tendency to jam my rear brake which actually caused my bike to skid...Bad bad bad!! I don't want to get any point for e brake during TP its so stupid!! And i hate cars!!! Honestly speaking, cars are such a nuisance sometimes and they can actually cause you to fail your TP!
Some drivers are just simply arsehole they won't give way, lane changing like nobody business and like to stop here and there causing obstruction to riders damn inconsiderate... Sometimes i just feel like getting off my bike and drag that fellow out of the car and wallop him up big time!! Stupid cars next time when i got my licence , i really hope my life won't be endangered by reckless drivers on the road.Damn sometimes when a person is unlucky he will really get damn unlucky. The world is unfair! There is no fair competition and if u are the one who runs out of luck , just too bad u got to accept it and wait for a second chance to prove yourself or to achieve what you want. Just too bad if on the TP test day i got a lousy bike with problems here and there god bless me, testers eyes pa jiao thought i commit a mistake which i did not god bless me..The stupid driver infront of me do stupid stunts god bless me.. I just hope i can have some luck on that day. Things are unpredictable , sometimes the more u want that particular stuff the harder it is for you to get it... Life's great it has taught you to work hard for your goals and after going through so much disappointment and failures you will learn how to cherish your fruit of success. On the other hand it sucks.
By the way saw ex LTA Santos at SSDC ha didn't expect him to take up riding haha.. Suddenly it just made me think back about my commando life. I remember how much pain and anguish i went through, all the small small little events which took place and all the defining moments i experienced in the entire 1yr 10mth NS. I remember what my OC told me, 'no one outside understands the kind of hardships we went through but as long as you succeeded in overcoming that particular hardship with sheer will and effort, you will learn to understand and you'll definitely be a better man a stronger man. Its a valuable lesson trust me'. He said this to me when my ex gf left me for another guy. It was the greastest struggle in my life, caught in the midst of tough training and emotional trauma. It was near breaking point. And i overcame it.
