My very last post before I enlist.

Packed all the things which I am going to bring for NS> However, as it turns out, there was only 1 bag, and it was lighter than my secondary school bag. Wonder if I missed anything out. Have to thank all the "Gossip Peeps" for all the suggestions and encouragement. Greatly appreciated.

Bought a non-camera phone. Not sure whether are camera phones allowed so it is better to play safe.

Going to shave tomorrow. Going to be bald for the very first time before I enlist. Hopefully, everything will just turn up fine.

AUDREY: Going to keep it a secret for the time being :) By the way, keep it low profile, do not want too many people to know yet until the appropriate time :D Btw, how come you suddenly have the feel to come to my blog? Haha.

CLK: Yo bro, was still shocked to see you. Wonder if I will see you again tomorrow as it is a Sunday. Haha the last Sunday before enlistment.

JerNgiap: Yup! Seeing all of you blogging made my fingers itchy too. But it will be dead once I enlist again lol.

Bought all the necessary stuff for NS. Gonna change to a non-camera phone soon. Luckily, 3G function will still be in use but I doubt I will have time to use it anyway. Even if I have the time, will most probably switch 3G off as I want to save the battery for calls and messages. More important.

Less than 3 days to enlistment. Well, the nervous level has certainly dropped a lot since a few weeks ago and my excitement has exceeded the nervousness. Hope this is the right feeling when I enlist. Going to start packing tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Met her for dinner. As usual, went to pick her up at Suntec before heading down to Orchard 313 for dinner in a Japanese restaurant. Food was very nice, and it was her recommendation so that's all I can say.

Walked and shopped after that from 313 all the way to Far East Plaza. What more can I say?

Went back to Suntec to meet some of my former colleagues for lunch. Met up with one of my previous colleague, who has stopped working there before the two of us met the rest who just left for lunch. She was there as well. In total, there were 7 of us. Forgot the name of the restaurant but it has the word "olive" in it and it is located in the basement of Marina Square.

They wanted to test and see whether my memory was still as good as I was during work so I was responsible to take the order of everyone and order at the counter without using any materials. Success and 100% correct.

Had a fun and enjoyable lunch. Chatted about work, school NS etc. After lunch, the previous temp and I sent the rest back to Suntec Tower 4 to work before I went home with the previous temp, who happened to stay in Anchorvale. Went home with him many times and this will probably the final time. Hope that is not the case as we are still planning for an outing with the rest of my former colleagues.

Was at Kovan today. While ordering some food in the food centre, someone called me. Such a familiar voice but I did not see anyone who I am familiar with when I looked into the direction of the voice. Ahh, Luck Koon. Almost could not recognised him because of his "missing" hair. As usual, we had a mini conversation before I brought him to the store which sells "Ba Chor Mee" as he was craving for that. Went back to say goodbye to him before I left. Glad to see him before enlistment (a topic we briefly talked about during our mini conversation).

It is not very often that I will post about what I did on a Saturday. However, this Saturday is very, and I mean very different.

Had arranged to meet her for a cycling trip in Pasir Ris park on that very day. She was way too early as she reached like half an hour before our agreed time. Wow.

Luckily for us, the weather that day was perfect for cycling. It was sunny, yet windy at the same time. Can't ask for any better. Over at Sengkang, it was sunny, windy but at the same time, drizzling as well. Glad that was not the case over in Pasir Ris Park.
Cycled around Pasir Ris Park as wekk as the park connector to Tampines and Bedok Reservoir and chatted during our mini breaks.

Walked around Ehub and saw Pei Juan. Smiled and greeted her and she was probably the first person to see me and her together. Not sure whether did she see me and her though.

Went to Changi Airport after that for lunch. Had Popeye and watched Tom and Jerry in Popeye together. Haha. After that, window shopping around Terminals 1, 2 and 3 before I send her to her station, which is pretty far away, which is good as we can chat.

Recently, I have been keeping my updates and what I am doing in a low profile manner. Hence, not many people know what is going on with me these few weeks. Well, only my blog will detail it but I think I may be weird as I did not tell anyone about it. Hence, this blog is basically like a dead city, with me sharing and updating to basically no one, well maybe except one or two. Will anyone see this in the near future? Maybe in a few months time but I doubt so within these few weeks.

Anyway, less than 10 days to enlistment!!!

Went to Suntec to meet her for breakfast. I made it a habit to at least have breakfast with her once a week. Well, at least before I enlist.

Met her for dinner again. Feels good to meet her twice. Went Orchard to have Mos Burger for dinner. Was quite full. We walked from one end of Orchard to another and had quite some fun.

Well, I think short post is easier to read, understand and write about. Hence, there will be lesser and lesser long posts from me unless it is something interesting that needs to be detailed. Anyway, is there even anyone who will see all these? Maybe just one I think...

Went to Suntec to meet her for breakfast at 8.15am. Had McDonalds. Loitered around Marina Square, Millenia Walk and Raffles Link. Went to TS Video to browse through some films. Went to Times Bookstore to read. An interesting book that I read was "How to pass your IPPT". Couldn't be more appropriate at this time. Met her for lunch at 12.30pm. Saw some of my ex-colleagues. Hid from them. Lol. Had Burger King for lunch with the new temp staff joining too. Went home after that.

At around 9pm, I went cycling with Joseph and Wilson. I took out my bike and rode 2 minutes to the ground level of Wilson's house and waited for him there. When he came down, he left his bike with me and went up to change his shoes. Joseph joined us not long after buying his drink from Prime Supermarket. So we cycled for close to 4 hours. Places we passed by include: Sengkang, Punggol, Hougang, Kovan, Jalan Kayu and Yio Chu Kang. We passed by several familiar places like Zhen Hua's house, Desmond Lim's house (wanted to call him and sort of "prank" him), Pei Hwa Secondary etc. Had fun. Let the pictures do the talking.

Some nice view from Punggol Promenade.

At around 12.30am, we sent Joseph to his home at Anchorvale. After that, I sent Wilson home and rode for another 2 minutes on my bike home. Reached home at 12.45am. Butt ache for the 3 of us for cycling so long. Luckily we did not cycle to Tampines, Pasir Ris or even Marina Bay as suggested during the first hour.

Met up with poly mates for dinner today. Went to Breko at Holland Village. New environment. Just like the previous day, I was the only one who has not enlisted... Listened to their stories instead and learn from them.

Short posts are better. Too lazy to post every single detail.

By the way, my headache continued today.

Wednesday, 10th October 2012...

Went out with Peepnions yesterday. Had a wonderful session with Joseph, Nizar and Zhen Hua. Sticky and her friend joined in mid-way. Could really feel he tensed up muscles after the session. They all played real well as the three of them just had their passing out parade recently. Wonder will my stamina be as good as them in the future? Really hope so.

Went home to bathe before meeting up with them again. Went to the Seoul Garden at Cineleisure and had dinner there. Wilson and Jia Ying joined us for the dinner. Went to a few Ice-Cream stores after that but none of them is halal certified. Finally, at around 9pm+, we settled down at Haagen-Dazs where we ordered a Fondue for all 7 of us. Jia Ying's treat.

Went home after that. Wilson, Joseph, Jia Ying and I shared a cab home. Of course, we shared the bill without Jia Ying to thank her for the treat. The 3 of us dropped off at Anchorvale CC where we had our supper in the McDonalds there.

Afterwards, Joseph went a separate way home while Wilson and I walked home together, since we lived so near.

Had a headache but it was fun. But the pain was unbearable at around midnight. Insomnia sets in these few days. Had been only able to fall asleep at around 3am as I was lying on my bed for hours without a successful attempt of falling asleep.

Witnessed an extremely rare scene today. Was in the bank and two guys pushed a guy into the bank and said that the guy had pickpocket something. What turned out to be a calm scene immediately turned into disaster when the guy suddenly struggled to get free and rushed for the door to escape. Luckily, there were enough people to finally pin the man down. First time seeing this and was quite shocked. People were discussing about this in the bank. Luckily there were many kind souls who helped in the arrest.

So I went for dinner with her again. We had lots to chat about and she was the first female to have that much things to chat and share with me. Extremely lucky to know her and I hope we can get to know more of each other in time to come. I am very grateful to get that job the past 3 months and to know such a wonderful person. :)

Last day of work, had a proper send off. I really loved that place and do not feel like leaving. Well, life goes on.

1st dinner with her :)

Wednesday, 3rd October 2012...

Last day of work tomorrow. Mixed feelings. Don't really feel like leaving the job. Oh well... Hmm, to shoot or not to shoot the question?

Monday, 1st October 2012...

Hmm, it's October already. 75% of 2012 is in the past. Can anyone please tell me how in the world does time passed so fast? It passed especially fast when one is working. In just less than a month, I will be bald, and dragging myself to Tekong. After seeing most of my friends and relatives enlisting one after another, it will finally be my turn. My feelings? Mixed. Will miss the live outside as well as the people. However, a new phase of live means new challenges. Ending work this week, this Thursday, to be exact. Frankly speaking, this is one of the jobs which I enjoyed the most and the job which I cannot bear to leave. I will not mind coming back again. The people, the environment, the welfare. Ah there is too much goodness to be said. Looking back in the past, I have realised how much I had accomplished. Results wise, average. Job wise, I have worked in 3 different offices, with all 3 job scopes completely different. One is on tax, one is on financial analysis and one is on reinsurance. If I said that I did not learn anything, I got to be kidding. Everyone makes resolutions. I have a resolution that has been empty for quite a while and if I am able to realise it before I enlist, boy oh boy how happy will I get? I just hope everything will run smoothly. Ok, not sure will anyone see my posts. If you do, great. And if no one sees this, I can rant as much as I want. However, what is there to rant about? I am quite happy with my life right now. Only positive stuffs :) Tekong, I will see you in 29 days time!
