Performance @ frujch

It was the last week of sch b4 the term break..n frujch had an event – Half time..(felt it was quite an appropriate name)…where I was invited to perform with Alvin along with a number of other acts..i was really busy with mid term test dat week n didn’t really had time to practice..n though Alvin n I did meet up..for the purpose of rehearsing..we ended up doin our work..haha..told ya..realli busy week..

a|vin . @|an

That was y we were forced to really practice onli on the performance day itself..i was at frujch by around 2pm..for a sound check..where I met Jamil..the legend in SMU’s band scene..haha..n it took veri little time for me to see y..dat guy can play..can sing..n is quite good lookin..not to mention..humble..

As least he’s not like some of the guitarist(or rather 1) I know frm sch..not veri ‘zai’ but wanna act arrogant..haha..

"i'm a creep!!!"

While the performance was the highlight of the day..i felt it was something that happened b4 dat..dat is really stuck in my head..we were jamming n singin songs randomly..n a girl walked up to us and asked “can u all sing my fren a song?...”…and we were like erm..ok..but y?..n she replied.. “my fren is goin for an operation..if u guys dun mind..pls play him a song that will ask him to stay strong”..str away we couldn’t say no..she was beginning to hav watery eyes..

We walked over n spoke to him..n den found out that he was goin for a lung operation..my god..dat sounds mighty dangerous..we decided to play and sing him ‘superman’ by Five for Fighting..with the lyrics sayin..its not easy being him..but even heros have the right to bleed..we may meet obstacles..but its alrite..you can all slp sound at nite..i’ll dig for my kryptonite..

Half way thru the song..his frens were all cryin..n watchin them cry..I really felt terrible..not to mention I was tryin to harmonize with that song..it was a veri veri touchin moment..i almost cried with them..after the song ended..i told him..he will be jus fine..n dat he has to come bac to frujch after the operation for me to play more songs for him..

Ladies n gentlemen..as clichĂ© as it may sound..Life is Precious..pls make the most out of it..if there’s something u haven done or someone u haven loved..jus be brave..n do it..b4 its too late..we r all fortunate ppl..

Well…enough of sad stories..anyway!..haha..i felt I played pretty badly dat nite..i dunno…I tink I can do better..both of us..but I would like to thank all my frens who came down to support us..esp when some even got frens frm outside to come..we had ppl from SIM n NUS @ frujch dat nite..n also special thanx to those who changed their work schedules to rush down n watch us..ppl like gaston..sentill..

There was abt 40 to 50 plus ppl we were playin to that nite..in the small chill out bar..n I’m really grateful that they sang along in some of the songs we played..we like it when u sing..u guys rock..lol..

Another dAy @ LTB

As much as I hate the time its takin up…I muz admit that LTB classes are quite fun actually..at least way better than biz law..Lol..the last lesson..we were required to construct a structure..dat will be able to protect an egg..such that it wun crack even when we thew it down from the 3rd floor..so we took some time..to cut the materials and started piecing bits n pieces of them together..our structure was veri much..trash?..haha..we jus built a straw frame to hold the egg..n wrapped it with lots of newspaper..haha..simple..but workable idea..

When we were tryin how to fit stuffs..chayanait n aloha tried to insert the egg into the balloon..n dats where the egg cracked n was all over chay’s dress..oh my..n it was a white dress..tsk tsk..salute her for her sacrifice..though she always veri mean to me..haha..



After we constructed the structure..we went to the stairway n threw it down one by one..some team’s structure gave way…n the one with the hot air balloon look alike structure..had their balloon burst on its own..haha..n it was pretty much a free fall..

(quite Hot may I add..lol)..who wanted to pay for my drinks…haha..but I turned her down though..hm..natural instinct..haha..n NO!..i am not ego!..haha..n qiang was like.."let her pay ma.." Lol..

Beginning of the End

On the 28Sept 2006, I finally completed my longggggg…draggingggggg….service. Lol. N I collected my IC on the following day (fri). I went bac to camp with andy and we were freaked to find out that the new RSM was lookin for ORD personnels..i was “oh m god!!..my hair!!..”..havin not officially discharged from service, there was a chance that they might try to stamp their authority on me one last time..so andy n I went into tactical mode..lol..

There were mainly 2 figures we wanted to avoid..the new RSM (dunno even know who he is..n frankly I dun care)..n of cos the hideous S2 Cpt Gan Eng Seng (who cannot be more unreasonable). I heard he screwed up pretty bad in ROC..printed new maps for the battalion..everythin was accurate on the map..except the grid lines (which is pretty much the most impt thing)..Lol..they were 1 km off..n he sent the whole battalion into ‘holland’(lose ur way) mode..haha..n they walked n walked n walked..n finally crawled n crawled n crawled and still not finding their check points..Lol..all cos of one person..haha..I wonder wat the CO would have said to him..

I still remember the days where he tried to ‘motivate’ us n gave us motivation speeches..which really made no sense to me..esp the time where he told us “you know..some things muz try one den u know..like for example..last time when I was a cadet..i was in ROC..i saw this hill downslope..it seemed very high..den I jumped..hurt myself n realized…wa…really veri high”…I really burst out in laughter inside..was coverin my mouth all the way..Lol..i dunno man..i dun wanna judge but…hahahah..


omg!..i was so innocent lookin..lol..i mean i still am!!

Anyway..when I was makin my way around camp..ppl were all pointing at my hair..haha..n den the inevitable occurred..Mr Gan suddenly appeared in front of me..n said my hair was veri ‘ghim’..n I replied…ur beret also veri ‘ghim’ ma (guard’s khaki beret)..Lol..den we had the following conversation:

Gan: “Next may I’m goin to recall u for exercise typhoon”

Alan: “I will be at school…I will write a letter bac”

Gan: “I will reject it!”

Alan: “Its not up to u to decide!!”

Lol…but we were talking in a relaxed mood la…but dat really felt gd…finally able to talk bac to him..haha..civilian rocks..haha.. I finally got bac my Pink IC..i’m over the moon!!
