Tuesday
Had lunch with my mom and brother at Harbour Front, quite alot of changes have been made since I last went there. The front part of it is now accessible with new shops in it.

Tried out the Noodle Hut, it serves Shanghainess food. The fried la-mien and guo tie is nice but not the xiao long bao. The food is quite expensive compared to Ding Tai Fung.

Quoted From Gabe Newell:

The Half-Life 2 offers have been finalized. Details are pasted below. The Steam offers will be available for purchase next week. Those who purchase via Steam, will receive the final version of Counter-Strike: Source immediately. Half-Life 2 and other games in the Steam offerings will be made available to purchasers upon their release.

Reach Tekong at 8.30pm yesterday night, walked all the way to my company line instead of marching. Went up my bunk realise all our food and my liquid shoe polish is gone. Must be those bloody sergeants who took them. Luckily my friend brought in 4 cup noodles.

Only 12 from my platoon turned up, out of around 30. 18 of them must be bloody chao keng idiots. I regretted not getting att c.

Saturday
Went to visit my grandfather and my auntie in Toa Payoh, been months since I last visited them. Kinda miss them because when I was young I stayed at my auntie house and my grandfather house was just opposite.

Had Kuay Chup for dinner, cheap and good, 4 of us eat only $7.80.

Thursday
Had my Pass Out Parade(POP) at around 4pm. Everything went on smoothly, even the human traffic is very well regulated as compared to the parents visiting day.

After the parade ended, all of us from Pegasus(including sergeants) form a very huge circle with our OC and 2IC in the middle and we sang Peng You, the feeling was very good.

Saturday
Booked out the earliest so far, took the 8am fastcraft, reached Singapore at 8.30am. Had breakfast at Hans with my parents before meeting up with LiXiang for The Terminal at GV Marina.

The show is slightly more than 2 hours long, is a good show, nice storyline (based on a true story) with a little touch of romance.

Booked out yesterday night, reached Singapore at 8.30pm. Suppose to booked out tonight, but they had changed the schedule. They postponed the Live Grenade Throwing to Sunday instead of Saturday, which means I will be booking in later at 8.15pm. Very short weekend indeed, less than 24 hours.

Bloody company that organising the CO’s evening set the theme for that night to be cultural (I can’t remember the word to use, but I know the word starts with letter e), which means we are suppose to find cultural clothes within that “less than 24 hours” booked out time. I can’t be bothered about it, shall be wearing formal.

Saturday
Reach Singapore at around 12.30pm. Wanted to catch Bourne Supremacy at GV Tiong Bahru at 1.50pm, but couldn’t make it on time, thus I had lunch with my family at Alexander Village eating the Depot Road laksa. No idea why I was so thirsty at that time. Drank 4 types of drinks (soya bean, ice milk tea, banana milkshake and olong tea) while having my meal.

Came home meddle about with my computer. The 2nd phrase of Half-Life 2 pre-loading begun, this time it pre-loads around 900mb worth of audio data. Windows Media Player 10 has also been released. It has so much improvements compared to WMP 9.

Thursday (Graduation Day)
Went back to school for breakfast at FC6. It feels weird when you are the only person wearing uniform, but soon after more NS guys in uniform came. Had wanton mee and seafood soup for lunch. Really missed the food/good old times there. Went to take a token of appreciation from Mr Ahmad for my WSC, it was a pen given by the principle of ICT.

The SP convention center is very nice, with 2 large screens on top on both sides. I was very impressed by it. The whole ceremony took about 2 hours. It was shorter than I expected. You are given 1 white card with barcode on it, once you reach the stage, you have to scan it, then it will read out your name and then you proceed to collect your empty scroll box. Very computerised.
