A New Chapter in my Life...

or simply a continuation of the last chapter?

Of course, i refering the days after 9th of Feburary 2009, the day i ORD. i'm still deciding on that really. well, we'll see how it goes then.

really, i don't regret going to Range yesterday. wow, i wouldn't have expected to get marksman in CS at all, or in Range at all. Well, it wasn't really exactly my effort, considering the fact that it CS, and it's a team effort thing. And secondly, owning to the fact that i fail my ATP three times, i I was only in charge of shooting the Fig.11 targets (which was REALLY easy) SO, i have no right to brag on my part. And yeah, the officers were really good i.e. Alvin and Choy. Friday would have been a Good day, in horoscopic terms, if i ever read horoscope books at all. First of all, i was the ORD day of half of 3238, and secondly, i was really lucky in Range that day. My Instinctive action shoot was literally a give away, due to the fact that half of the shots were free shots! and to top things off, cos my detail scored the highest in the day shoot, we were arranged to be the first detail for the night shoot i.e. to say we shot while it was still freakin' bright at a quarter to 7. and it was freakin' SICK. Round 1 was a strike and everyone was like "Wow" and "OMG". i totally cannot believe. My mouth was agag and i didn't miss a single shot throughout my 3 mags. and it turns out our night shoot was better than our day's at 74/75. (yeah, i know, it isn't exactly fair cos it's like having two day shoots, but whateva... ~.~)

the ride back was unbearable. the bus was crawling. literally. even the unimogs we drive can pawn the bus driver hands down.

brought almost all my stuff back last night. wow, can't believe i'm ord~ing soon.

can't stand the new specs. freakin' ego~istic. it's probably maybe cos they don't know the lao jiaos good enough, but whateva, ~"SO WHAT U'RE A SPEC, BIG DEAL" get lost. *_*

i'm totally diggin Darin right now. He's the runner-up for the first season of Sweden Idol and i think he's got a really good voice and good techniques although his songs are mostly pop, dance, and in his latest album, more electro stuff. so i can't exactly say it would draw good reviews from music critics in the likes of Amy Winehouse, Duffy, or Leona Lewis. but he makes pretty good pop-dance albums and as long as it makes you want to get up and dance, i would say it's good enough. his debut album, ' The Anthem' is actually very awesome and i particularly like his infectious dance hit, Desire from his third album. his albums are pretty much the same, other than the fact that his lastest offering, Flashback, his fourth album steers in the direction of electro music.

read a really good book recently. or at least read some parts on it. it's called 'How to stop worrying and start living' by Dale Carnegie and it was first published in 1948. that year, Mr Carnegie was like 59. and i surprised to learn that after all this years, this good is still relevant in today's society. VERY, actually. at first, just by the title, i thought i wouldn't need this book, much more to read it. but when i chose selected chapters to read, i was really blown away. the man has some really good things to share.like yeah! Here's one: Our Life is what our thoughts make it. You are not what you think you are, but what you think, you are. -----> Wow. really leaves me thinking about it over n over again.

I want my Blackberry!!

wow... so many things happened today that i don't know where to start from. first i went to West Mall's Hello Shop to do a handphone upgrade. The thing is i DREAD going there. even though i've only been there once. I could totally say that the customer service there isn't exactly A+, or even a E, which is equivalent to a pass in JC terms.

that is the exact attitude i think of when i look at their demeanour and character. anyways, the guy who served me, Daniel L, first told me that the price was $628 but later apologised and claimed that i needed to pay $100 more as i was doing a 12 mths upgrade (well, that i know, as i did my homework but i had thought that $628 was inclusive of the $100) he said that there's a difference between the online and off-the-shop prices and showed me a pamplet showing the discrepancies. Well, i got a little suspicious and at the same time turned off by the idea of forking $100 more than i expected, i decided not to go ahead with the contract.

Went back home, made a few checks online, made a few phone calls, and found out from a telephone service officer that $728 was the RRP for the blackberry bold in my case (turns out Mr L wasn't up to anything after all) but i might be able to get my phone at a cheaper price online!! BUT... the bummer was that I wasn't able to do a online purchase just now as the void contract that i signed might take a few days to process!!! Major Bummer!!! that foils my plan!!! i will not get the Youth Plan!!! Miss Tyrell (the customer service officer) said she'll try to get it done within 3-5 working days.. BUMMER!!

had driving in the afternoon after that and i saw Arshad! wow. was listening to Krystal Meyers (wow, lurving her right now) and rockin myself when someone tapped me on the shoulders. got the biggest shock of my life. same old guy, man. just thought he looked weird in the short buzz and black frames. totally different. man, he's still the same. with his funny card purse for a wallet. ^.^ i wanted to ask him whether he'd want to hang out sometimes but strangely though, i never got to it. it was weird though, considering that we haven't seen each other for like two years.

and then, my aunt and my cousin (together with his wife) came to visit us. Wow, it sure doesn't feel like CNY to me, though. the thing is this cousin of mine is like so much more older than me, that we really don't have any thing common to talk about. So i was like "HI!!!....................." and i went back upstairs to continue with Gossip Girl. well, i don't mean to be rude, and i'm not rude.... but..... hmm.... these kinds of CNY visits don't really mean anything to me.

Wow, i'm like damn tired today man. Peace.
