i almost got a heart-attack.

i couldnt log-in into blogger even after trying out three different account names and sx different passwords. i finally remembered i have a gmail account.
big sigh of relieve.

pretty interesting day i guess.
i have, in a de facto status, flunked my basic theory test. because i woke up late. test was at 9.15am and i woke up at 9.30am.
where was my alarm?
my lousy wrist watch's alarm is so soft that i have to be wide awake and waiting there in order to hear it. and my cellphone's battery died in the middle of the night. so there was nothing to wake me up.

i still tried to rush down to ssdc though. i tried arguing and cajoling the staff there to let me take the test at the next time slot. but to no avail. so later i'm going down again to sign up for the whole damned course. $1800.

great.

the navy open house was really fun.
especially all those rides out into the open sea. alex and i was on one of the FCEPs out into the open sea and the coxswain was pushing the craft to full throttle. and of the kids there got motion-sickness and vomitted.
i can see the FCEP personnel's "du-lan" face as he used toilet papers to clean up everything.
hard-work and dedication from these people ensured everybody else enjoyed themselves at the open house.
respect for them.

my team and i was stationed at expo to help out. so while we were not on duty, we walked around the other expo halls. the food expo was GREAT.
haha.
the "whatever. anything" girls.
MX calls them "xiao-lians" since they are like the younger versions of "ah-lians". wanted to get some books at the MPH sale, but they didnt have anything by Neil Humphreys. disappointed.

saturday night we went out to changi airport after the open house closed for the day. went to supposedly to chill. we wanted to have the ice cream fondue at swensen's but the queue was disgustingly long. the same for popeye. we ended up at the delifrance at terminal one.i was satisfied with a chocolate eclair while gary had a whole set meal.

when we were done chilling at the airport, we ended in an argument as to whether to back to base or go tampines mall. we chose the former.

got myself the iced-mocha. and when i swallowed the whipped cream, my heart skipped a beat.

arr..

watched blades of glory. thought it was some lame-ass movie. but it's actually pretty good. the hunour used wasnt lame. lots of accidental jokes. and i find the two parts of the movie where the mascots got attcked very funny. the first mascot was set on fire while the second one was shot in the head with a cross-bow.

i feel like a loser. i'm so "shi bai". such a failure.
dont tell me anything about the courage to carry on with life.
courage is just well-concealed fear.
