11 mai, went on a bus ride with jx.
plan: go to bus stop, take the first bus that arrives, stay on bus for 7 stops, alight and change to next bus, repeat 10 times.
started outside clementi mrt, eastwards. i cannot remember the bus numbers, data with jx, but we went from around the island, anti clockwise, touched bukit timah, bukit whatever, woodlands, tampines, bedok... bugis. rather fun. but i still think buses sux.
bought a new camera on 13 mai. which translates to a magnificent slew of photographs. i have concluded that the old camera was way too lousy. too bad the camera doesnt come with stabilisation, pity, but batteries and manual controls are more important for now. flickr upload limit is too little! 20mb per month is pathetic. shall i try to find a different host, sigh. unfortunately the good ones require regular payments. should i. now all the photos are severly reduced in size and quality, 800x600 only. i have no idea where im going to upload the photos i take overseas, maybe i'll upload 0.1% of those photos, dunno. will see how. but for the moment flickr contains many new photos. am currently taking photos of singapore, any and every place i can find. see if you can recognise them.
15-18 mai went back to army. amusingly. if NS was slack, reservist is beyond belief. how bad was it? well, during NS, there were ppl who were, ya know, the dun care, and less educated type, who like to slack and smoke, etc. and even they were surprised at how much we skived off. amused amused that all those SAF adverts protray such a gung-ho and scary soldiers. tsk. the govt fooling the girls?
nice to meet ppl. to see familiar territory. to be able to go back and have no one really care what the heck you do. untouchable slackers, like ORDing ppl. but the few remaining familiar faces there will be gone, and then it wont be so fun anymore.
16 mai went out with jx for bday dinner. walked around. took nice photos. and was treated to japanese curry.
18 mai went trampling trespassing travelling train-ing. oh, jx cooked lunch for me. took mrt to kranji. walked to malayan railway track (becoz somebody wants to walk on track), walked northwards. almost got run down by a #&%(#$) malaysian train. it came rumbling round the corner (rumbling sounds a tad too slow, it zoomed), snarled at us, and we scrambled off the rails onto the undergrowth slope. blah. some scratches and so on. it went by rather close though, empty passenger cars. was not expecting a train at that time. but anyway, jx's dream come true to encounter a train. after the shock, we hurried on and got off towards kranji reservoir. saw about a thousand trucks and hundred factories, abandoned army camp, ancient kopitiam, and a view of johor.
adventure with real danger.
19 mai gathering at junda's house. actually competed with linus on the xbox, even though both of us werent typical console players. ramming cars off the road is actually quite fun. pizzas pizzas. canadian pizzas all look the same, ugh. talked talked, about everything except weather, movies, tv. gep talk. found out that we probably own not just the medical system, but also the legal system as well. interesting social circles. very very interesting. perhaps acs ppl would own the businesses and banks.
20 mai. what happened. 4 ppl archery trng. where's everyone. tuition kid got exactly 50 out of 100 for maths. saw jx's sister at bugis (at work), saw jx's mother at sengkang interchange. odd. new soft toy. which made jx laugh the whole night. it's got a great expression on it's face.
can't seem to remember what has happened. seems like a lot, seems like nothing.
