My Cousin Enlisted Into Pegasus
On Tuesday I had lunch with my mom and brother at HarbourFront. We tried Noodle Hut, a Shanghainese place; the fried la mian and guo tie were nice, the xiao long bao less so.

Half-Life 2 Packages
Gabe Newell says the Half-Life 2 offers are finalised, with the Steam bundles going on sale next week. Buyers via Steam get the final Counter-Strike: Source immediately, alongside Half-Life 2 and the other games in the Steam offer.
Shit Job
I reached Tekong at 8:30pm and walked to my company line. Up in my bunk, all our food and my liquid shoe polish were gone. Luckily a friend brought cup noodles; only 12 of my platoon turned up.
Familiar Faces
On Saturday I visited my grandfather and auntie in Toa Payoh, months since I last did; I miss them. We had kway chap for dinner, cheap and good at $7.80 for four.
End Of BMT
On Thursday I had my Pass Out Parade, and everything went smoothly, with human traffic far better regulated than on parents' visiting day. Afterwards all of us from Pegasus formed a huge circle around our OC and 2IC.
The Terminal
On Saturday I booked out my earliest yet, reaching Singapore by 8:30am. After breakfast at Hans with my parents, I met Li Xiang for The Terminal at GV Marina, a good film based on a true story.
Live Range
I booked out last night. I was meant to book out again tonight, but the schedule changed: Live Grenade Throwing moved to Sunday, so I book in later at 8:15pm. A very short weekend, under 24 hours.
Garfield
On Saturday I reached Singapore around 12:30pm. I wanted The Bourne Supremacy but couldn't make it, so I had the Depot Road laksa with my family at Alexandra Village. I was so thirsty I drank four different drinks.
