Its just another Bananaworld

i have a craving for Prata. You know... those crispy pratas that are hot hot hot... ohhh.....

Forgive me. I'm still recovering from my Exercise L.

So there was me (they placed me at a swamp site with 2 other guys) at my camp site. Feeling muddy, shag out and bothered by mosquitoes and blood suckers. Everyday was a muddy day at the swamp. And under the condition of NO food for the first day, it really was quite miserable. Fortunately it didn't rain...

On the second day, i managed to catch a cat fish. Boiling it and eating it seemed to be such a satisfying moment. Upon the 2nd day, i had also completed my fireplace and my A-frame (a shelter build on poles).

To cut the whole story short, upon the last day which was the 5th day. I managed to complete a monitor lizard trap, a bird trap, A-Frame, Fireplace alone. With the occasional roots, a small quail (yesh, i killed/skinned/cooked a quail with my barehands) and some cat fish. I was quite amazed by my ability to preserve my sanity.

Heard from my platoon mates that they ate the quail RAW! oh man...

The motivational times during my whole phase was the movie that Tom Hanks acted, "Castaway". Remember? He landed in a freaking island with NOTHING. Except Wilson lah... For me, i was fortunate to have 2 other partners (real life) at my site to talk to... We talked about family, passion, goals and our dreams. it was a great sharing experience....

I could tell you all man... The experience that i obtained from these few days are truly valuable. It made me appreciate LIFE betta and it made me understand myself more. Its amazing what you think/reflect when you have an empty stomach for 5 days.

All beginings have an end. And i am glad to say that at the end, i'm really glad to turn around and say that this journey was a harsh one. And i made it through...

ah....

3 more hours and i'm going to the airport already. What a thrill man.

Just went to Tiong Bahru plaza to do some last minute shopping. When i was getting my usual facial wash from Watsons, i noted that my usual facial wash was not on the shelves. Then, like a spotted prey, the Watsons sales-'lady' (she looked 30 years old...) spotted me. And she 'pounced' on me. Figure of speech. She HIGHLY recommended this Enro brand. Which i had NEVER seen before. So, there she goes blabbering that i have acne, which i think that its NOT a big problem, and that my usual one ain't the perfect one for me. I agree with her that it ain't the BEST facial wash, but don't need to say that i got ACNE problem lor...

When i was secondary school, i HAD acne problem. But definately not now. In the past, i got dots on my forehead that luvv to grow independently. So making them bloody obvious. Makes me look like a big fool and a zit on the head. Fortunately, by some miracle, my dots don't outbreak much. *phew*

Back to the story at Watsons, she was trying hard to pursuade me to get the facial wash. Peering at the price tag from the corner of my eye. $29.90!

Me:" Thats pretty XXX"

And then she explains that its a PROFESSIONAL facial wash. er... Then the other facial wash are part-time?

sigh...

Then i wander around the shop, leaving the lady agap.

Suddenly, she appears again. Approaching me.

Lady: "Here, got another one that i can recommand you for your ACNE problem"

Ouch.

She said the 'A' word again. I don't think i got ACNE problem! It happens cause of the bloody SAF facial cream that goes in green and black.

Seeing the current situation,

1. Don't have my usual brand of facial wash.
2. She recommended another brand
3. Its for ACNE problem
4. She is quite persistent

Haiz. I bought the other facial wash. I seriously don't believe that i got any ACNE problem, but i guess its always okay to get one just in case the SAF cream causes something nasty on my face.


Found something online just now. Quite farny. Always believed that SEX is good.

1. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests
find that when women make love they produce amounts of the hormone estrogen, which makes hair shine and skin smooth.

2. Gentle, relaxed lovemaking reduces your chances of suffering dermatitis, skin rashes and blemishes. The sweat produced cleanses the pores and makes your skin glow.

3. Lovemaking can burn up those calories you piled on during that romantic dinner.

4. Sex is one of the safest sports you can take up. It stretches and tones up just about every muscle in the body. It's more enjoyable than swimming 20 laps, and you don't need special sneakers!

5. Sex is an instant cure for mild depression. It releases endorphins into the bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and leaving you with a feeling of well-being.

6. The more sex you have, the more you will be offered. The sexually active body gives off greater quantities of chemicals called pheromones.
These subtle sex perfumes drive the opposite sex crazy!

7. Sex is the safest tranquilizer in the world. IT IS 10 TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE THAN VALIUM.

8. Kissing each day will keep the dentist away. Kissing encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid
that causes decay, preventing plaque build-up.

9. Sex actually relieves headaches. A lovemaking session can release the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain.

10. A lot of lovemaking can unblock a stuffy nose. Sex is a natural antihistamine. It can help combat asthma and hay fever.

Anyone got blocked nose? I can volunteer to relieve... keke...

And if since i am going there, i need to go with the Fighting Spirit. Heard of JCC?

OKay... thats all for my psychological boost.

P.S: plus, if i don't come back with the badge. Don't laugh at me....

today went with a happy heart wanting to watch a movie.

Got the movie timing at 6.30pm for "My BF is Type B". I'm blood type B+ too... keke...

She didn't ask. And i didn't tell her. So i guess we all just assumed. And then

*boom!*

Suddenly everyone get EUREKA! and everyone gets stupid...

Haiz... i guess its just one of those moments where u and a friend notice how stupid they are.

Aftermath: She gets to work tomorrow so as to finish her work. And we spend the remaining time eating sakae sushi. Plus also a drinking session at Harry's Bar. And also $14.50 waste in the tickets....

Haiz..

This teaches me to be more careful in movie outings...

Did i mention that i recently went to an Australia Education exhibition? Sent a total of 3 admission forms to 3 Universities.

Monash Uni. RMIT Uni. Curtin Uni.

They were chosen upon the fact that they allowed average C students to admit.

(i'm an average C student)

And that they are in pretty cool places. Melbourne, Australia!

But this might be posed as the final solution if i don't get into SIM (Local Uni). Well... I guess i have to rework my future plans and start looking at SIM. Dad says that local is still better... At least he can get to see me... haha... (My family kindna misses me...) But i think my Mom wants to use me as an excuse to have a quick holiday at Australia (What a smart Mom!)... Anyway, i do hope if possible, SIM would be the way to go...

Haiz.. the future... the future... They seem so far, but so crucial as they inter-twine with the present.

Haiz~

Fortunately, in the army, there is plenty of time for me to think about it.

By the way, its going to be C's birthday. So what can i get for a 21 year old dream gal? A dream guy? haha... well... Sad to say, its been a lloooonnnnggggg time that i intereacted with her. So i don't even know what she needs/wants! humm.. anyone got hints?

Recently, went to Fishbone's b'day. quite a simple one. With the farny people and the fun people. And its a star theme! Everyone needs to have a star.. otherwise... a shimmery star for u to wear! haha... quite cute..

Humm.. maybe its time for me to plan for my 21st b'day too... humm...

Harry's Bar @ Esplande was quite cool. Very relaxing. And there was even a man playing an organ crooning french songs. (I think its french) Quite romantic. But with me, Junz, Tian, Shu, Chia, its quite a crowd.... And i notice that i was quite quiet, since i made Tian angry over the above movie flick. (she was the one that i was suppose to see the movie with)

to Tian:

"I'm sorry. Can we watch another one some other time?"

keke... thats the best le...
