i think this blog has entered some sort of poverty cycle
the bloggers stopped blogging for awhile
the visitors stop visiting
and bcoz of that we find it sian to blog

who thinks this blog should continue rocking ass?

I m still alive!!
suprisingly
after being comfined in tekong island for the last 7 + days
i m still alive and kicking
pretty much amazed at myself
so i shall share what i learn from NS with you people
1. it is possible to wear the same piece of clothing for 1 week
so it is ok for everyone to change only once per week
you will still be perfectly healthy
2.since it is possible to achieve no.1
there is no need to do your laundry
unless u are going to roll in the mud in the forest
so many time that u start to snort
3.seeing your friend enlisting and getting their hair cut while u r doing
guard duty is very fun
at the same time knowing that you r one month their senior oso
make you feel pretty good
4. guard duty suck
big time
5.do not be a prowler if you tio guard duty
prrowler are those that walk arnd the compoun to ensure that
no one smart or stupid enough
will invade the island
there would be so many blister on your feet
that by the end of the duty
you have extra cushion for your feet..
6 tekong island is a very nice island
and a close to perfect place for coastal geomorphology studies
so for all of u gals out there
why not sign on and ebrace nature..
7. there are girls in army
in my ex class mate platoon
maybe tt guy might be so despo that he will jio the girls
8. girls in army are seriously scary creatures.
9. when they shave of your hair
they also share of part of your brain
and you become realli stupid till ur brain grow back..

50 things you can learn from a Korean drama
1) Hot, rich, younger men love fat, older vulgar women.

2) If you have a best guy friend, he is in love with you. And secretly you are too.

3) You and your boyfriend will always playfully chase each other on an ice rink, at the beach, or in the leaves. And you'll laugh for no reason and your boyfriend will hit you "playfully" but the force of his push will have you flying across the room. But it's okay. Cuz you're still laughing like a crazy person.

4) Brothers/cousin/uncles-newphews will always love the same girl.

5) You're allowed to make uturns wherever you want in Korea. And there is never traffic on the side you want to u turn to.

6) There is a super quick payment device that allows you to pay a bill quickly enough for a guy to run immediately out of a restaurant after his angry girlfriend storms out.

7) Everyone has cancer.

8) If you're sick, all you need is an IV to make you feel lots better.

9) There is vomit and urine all over Seoul at nights.

10) Fighting at a pojangmacha with a random stranger is merely part of a normal night's event.

11) Soju must cost 10 cents. Everyone drinks it everyday all the time, especially the poor people.

12) If you're rich, you're a jerk.

13) If you're poor, you're an angel.

14) Women sleep and wake up with a full set of makeup on.

15) You're not studying hard enough unless you get a nosebleed.

16) If you have a nosebleed, you most definately have cancer. And you have no money to pay for the surgery that will save your life. And your liver is missing. We're not sure where it went, but it's making your cancer progress faster.

17) If you work in a sool jeep, you have massively curly hair and wear flashy colors from the early 90's.

18) You always order orange juice or coffee at a cafe. And you never drink it. EVER.

19) You will always call your boyfriend by his job title. Or simply sunbaenim. Never his name. Never. He doesn't have one.

20) If you TRULY love each other, you must die together in the end. Frozen outside instead of finding shelter like sane people. Just frozen....

21) You go to America you come back miraculously successful. You go to England you come back amazingly fashionable. You stay in Korea the only thing that changes is your hairstyle.

22) And if you come back with no apparent reason then it's because you have cancer.

23) Everyone always goes to the same hospital no matter where they are.

24) If you stand out in the rain for more than five minutes, you'll end up with a fever and vertigo and people will rush you to the hospital to get some magic IV. And instead of taking an ambulance or driving they'll race you on their back.

25) Even if you're poor and can't eat, you never wear the same clothes twice.

26) If you play a poor kid, you always have dirt on your face and your hair is always messy.

27) If you're saving someone from being hit from a car, you'll push them out of the way and wait for the car to hit you instead. biggrin.gif couldnt be more true, their like a deer in headlights

28) Everyone has a long lost sister/brother/twin. Usually one they didn't know about.

29) If you don't want to answer your phone, you can't just turn it off. The battery
needs to be taken out.

30) All korean men can drink hard, smoke long, sing well and play piano. Usually all at the same time. And at the same restaurant that has a piano that they let anyone use.

31) If you're in a relationship, you must at one point leave and have your lover tearfully come RIGHT before you board the plane (vice versa applies as well. You can be the chaser). 60% of the time you see each other, the other 40% you're roaming around in circles and pass each other about six times, but miraculously never see them.

32) If you're getting off a plane, you're ALWAYS wearing sunglasses. ALWAYS.

33) All guys wear hideous tracksuits zipped up to their neck. Even if all they're doing is jumproping.

34) Girls will always storm off because they're mad and the guy will stoically grab them by the arm and swing them back- and by magic, not dislocate their shoulders.

35) Guys always look like they're 6 feet tall, even if they're only 5'10. Thank you camera angles.

36) Guys like to wear foundation, eyeliner and sometimes a smudge of lipliner.

37) You always get stuck in an elevator with someone who makes you feel uncomfortable. Even if there are six different elevators, you'll always be stuck in the same one with that bastard you hate (or just fought with).

38) Unless you're fabulously rich, your in-laws will always hate you.

39) So will your sister-in-law.

40) Your brother-in-law might be pining away for you.

41) There are only 2 ways to kiss. You either press your lips against theirs with your mouth completely shut, and just press away for a very long and uncomfortable time. OR you devour the other person and suck out their soul. In both instances, the world spins.

42) A guy will always get the right size ring, even if you're never held hands.

43) People stare off into space and ponder a lot. They'll just stop in the middle of the road and watch a leaf on a tree for a good three minutes, and just ponder.

44) You'll get pregnant the first time you have sex.

45) You'll get pregnant if he kisses you on the forehead.

46) Hell- you'll get pregnant if you hold hands.

47) If you overcome great obstacles to be together, one of you must die. Probably due to cancer.

48) One korean man can kick the butts of 6 gangstas. Especially when they all stand in a circle and attack the guy one by one. Then when each of them get their butts OWNED, they wise up and attack the guy at the same time. Then the guy will get pulverized and bleed out onto the dusty concrete floor of the empty warehouse they've found to fight in. There will be a fire in a trashcan somewhere. And the girl will have watched this the entire time, screaming in horror. Instead of calling 119, she'll just watch and cry. But it's okay. Cuz the next day the guy will be fine with a few random bandages and a few face scars. But never a black eye.

49) It ain't a real fight unless the gangstas fight dirty with a stick or switchblade.

50) If you study in the states (perferably Harvard), you are one of the top students and can speak perfect English (as assumed by the reactions of those around you). Why the rest of the world OUTSIDE of the TV can't understand a single word uttered out of your melodramatic mouth is beyond me.

ran to meet classmates for dinner at east coast lagoon today from mjc
took quite awhile but it was rather worth it

realised how lazy i was
when i saw a dead end and didnt want to jog back the same clean way
would rather barge through an entire field full of mud and knee-high grass

also saw how responsive pedestrians are
when they see people chionging behind you
or saying excuse me behind them
i conclude that in this world there are only 2 types of pedestrians
1) friendly and nice 2) stupid
group 1 includes those who'll say its okay or no problem
and kindly move aside
group 2 would be those who dun move and when i smear past them
they complain like phuck.
stupid asses.

~Alfie, pedestrian-hater.

yet again my life has become fully attached and devoted to training
but at least now i dun haf school to worrie abt
and not that im in the least bit regretting it =)

been waiting for a job which seems to be never ever coming my way
perhaps today i'll go search for other job opportunities
though abit tired since juz came back from class chalet

had a great time at chalet!
house was big (Changi Aloha), air-con didnt work, mosquitoes were buzzing around, there seemed to be an eternal battle with ants all over the place, and the environment was decorated with tall transverstites;
but it was still F-U-N!

hope to have another chalet soon

~Alfie, hoping hopelessly since everyone's busy

i suddenly feel so tired
i feel as if this blog might as well be called "The Blog Of Alfie"
rather than have it include a tight group of friends who refuse to update
not that im pissed at them for being too busy to blog
that they have much more important agendas to fulfill
and have the lame excuse of not knowing what to blog about

blogging is that simple
its an online journal
wads there to think about?
some witty topic?

~Alfie, feeling fucked up, pms-ing

Detached.

seems like its becoming increasingly difficult to have an outing where all members of SquidnCo are present, what with Crespo and Chief boyz-to-men phase and Squid's workaholic craze.
not to mention ming liang getting a job.
with squid joining him soon.

however, we did have an almost-complete-attendance outing on new year's day
mission was to get wee bian a street soccer shoe and we did, at queensway
then we tried to hop onto a cab wif 5 of us, going suntec
waited for like 10 f-ed up cabs till one decided that some business was better than none, albeit the dangers of getting caught.
then we went to watch 'Confessions of Pain', which i slept through some parts
overall an OK show not really worth $9+ i think
only some part abit funny, storyline abit predictable
and we were playing with all the cars at the ford car show
hopping into each and everyone there and pretending to be driving
childish but nevertheless an awesome 'look i'm driving, wtf!' kind of feeling.

would've taken some photos
but im in a currently 'no phone no cam no watch' state
back in the flintstones era
where ppl communicate via snail mail
so ppl, if i get back to u in onli a few days time
im sorry
bo bian.
dun think i'll get a phone anytime soon anyway
feeling convenient not having to keep checking phone for smses or missed calls
and can hide from angry parents demanding homecoming/cominghome

~Alfie, hiding and running and there we go again.
