I'm Back.

I am so crazy over Bic Runga. I even went to amazon.com and ordered her album when i can't find them at gramophone. Brilliant songwriter, soothing voice and charismatic, I'm still waiting for her to fly to Singapore and perform. Somehow i think she bears a certain resemblance to Jacintha Abisheganaden.

These 2 songs are my favourite. "Listening to the Weather" from Beautiful Collision album has very beautiful lyrics, a good vision of life and the love in it and "Sway" from the Drive album.

"Listening to the Weather"


"Sway" Not her actual video, but the background music is from her album. The lady in the video is not Bic but someone who is lip-syncing her.


I just got back from my 2 weeks confinement and enjoying my 4 days break. Field camp was an experience that I will never forget. It was more mentally tormenting than physically strenuous. Many of my platoon mates broke down, especially when digging the shell-scrape.

Argh, many more days to march 2009. damn it.

Bic Runga and Ana Free

BIC RUNGA!!

Sway is my favourite but she doesnt have a MV for it. This is the best live quality i can find.


This is Ana Free doing a cover of Sway.


And this song called Drive by Bic Runga is the song that made Bic famous.



Hai Today is my book in day, sian.

Bloody Conscript Army

There you go,
I'm a conscript now.
obligated to serve the nation and stuck in a far far place in the south china sea.
I am in B coy now or Bronco Company, the only company to have warrant officers as our platoon commanders.
All of them the same one, damn vulgar. The platoon 4 PC is the worst. All the tattoos spread over his arms and every single sentence got the F-word. Our OC also damn funny. Instead of pronouncing lanjiao properly, he keep saying lap cheong (he's an indian so dun blame him). Now because of that, my platoon is crazy over saying lap cheong.

My platoon also damn funny. u know every night the tekong night very starry one. can see the moon so clearly, can see the glittering stars and sometimes faint light from a distant planet can be seen too. anyway, we were falling in after night snack and as usual our sergeants were missing. So some of the ppl in the platoon start doing a hand motion and sang "Pei Wo Qu Kan Liu Xing Yu"(watch the shooting stars with me). They did it for around 3 times and a plane flew by. Because at night, there are lights at the fuselage of the plane, so it looks like stars flying by in the night sky. SO, my platoon mates all went "WOW!!" damn hilarious lah.

then there was conflict already in my platoon. like this person who always like to be the right marker during fall in and also he talks alot. So we called him RM, a.k.a right marker a.k.a recruit major a.k.a no. 1. Then one of my pltn mates got pissed off because he kana guard duty due to someone's SBO. He almost want to punch the guy lor. Then another incident was that our corporal saw someone pouring water from our platoon level. He asked all of us to come down and ask who did it. nobody replied what, so we kana fucked. So as usual, everyone was angry, everyone was suspecting everyone.

next week is the last week of ptp liao. so fast sia, how i wish ptp dun end so fast. im dreading bmt lor, it would mean less admin time, night pt and many more shit, summore i have another 12 days stay-in in 2 weeks time. argh! After thinking of the goals i wanna achieve in NS, i have decided to chiong for guards. I heard its very tough, everyday must chiong-sua down there but nothing beats the experience of fighting war in a chopper and rappel down from it and go fight a war. Also, i heard during the guardsmen survival training, u must kill a snake and drink its blood. But i want to wear the khaki coloured beret and don a guards tab on my left shoulder.

hahah, now its my long weekend, shiok ah!
