breakfast
it isn't exactly a "definining moment" in my national service. it was just breakfast with the sergeant major of the army. the brassard on my right arm was an invitation for him to sit with me in the humble newly renovated 5 SIR canteen.
it is nice to chat with people like him. people who are much more senior than u in terms of age and experience. people with real experience in life. unlike certain individuals who don't behave their age. i wasn't quite in the same wavelength as SMA in our random chat. i guess i havn't got the same repertoire of life experiences as him. he asked me what was the defining moment in my service. i had to mention "easy to mention" events like the grenade throwing and the gpmg range.
i didn't really want to start a long story of how i was enlisted in prc rather than bmtc and so on. that was really
the defining moment of my national service. i miss my first 2 months of ns. we went on to talk about more "out of my range" matters like man management and in this case, soldier management. my future job and what i studied in school.
it was just a short casual chat but i got to learn so much from him. i hope i can speak with substance like SMA in the future, and not become some useless plain childish 33 year old underachieving slob.

finally i leave a jay gee sale happy. this time round instead of the humid warehouse at genting lane, they have rented a proper ballroom in suntec. with aircon, browsing for clothes was much more joy. this time they also have more new and rare series and more stuff from aigner and mexx. too bad i cant afford some nice aigner shoes going at just $320.
finally got a decent pair of straight cut jeans, type 101 levi's copper $149.50 @ $75. a slim cut shirt from mexx $99 @ $59
total damage $120.60 (citibank card -10%)
mum's bonus spent on some new sheets for my bed from aussino country line. my previous was from the sino line. this fitted sheet is 260 tc while my other khaki one is 225 tc. the difference is quite significant. sadly though, there arent any "colours" to share my new bed with.
something to share
Fernando Torres
taken off liverpoolfc.tv
"Due to Cristiano Ronaldo's stunning form, Torres' achievements in his debut season have been criminally overlooked. Compare his 21 League goals (with six games left) against four of the most successful foreign attackers to have moved to the Premiership.
In Ronaldo's first season at United he scored four League goals. The following season it was five. Didier Drogba's first two League totals at Chelsea were 10 and 12. Denis Bergkamp hit 11 in his first season for Arsenal and 12 in his second. And the great Thierry Henry managed 17 and 17, more than a few of which were penalties. All of those players except Bergkamp were arguably playing in better teams than Torres currently is. As were Keegan (whose first season haul at Anfield was nine), Dalglish (20) and Ian Rush (17).
But the statistics don't tell half the story about this phenomenal young player, who possesses every single quality a striker needs: Pace, power, control, movement, guile, coolness, maturity, timing, heading ability, two quick feet, bottle, technique (insert your own attribute of choice.)
A sign of any sportsman's true greatness is to make what he is doing look like it is happening in slow-motion. That was how his goal against Everton on Sunday looked from my view-point on the Kop. When he picked up that loose ball in a packed box time stood still. All the other bodies seemed frozen to the spot, incapable of doing anything to stop the back of the net rustling.
Yet there is more to his game than scoring. Ask
Steven Gerrard why he's blossoming in that second striker role and he'll tell you that the intelligence of Torres' runs and the panic it causes among defenders creates the space for him to exploit.
The most remarkable thing about this young Spaniard is that he has something of every great Liverpool striker I've had the pleasure to have seen: St John's tenacity, Hunt's accuracy, Keegan's engine, Toshack's heading, Dalglish's perception, Rush's movement, Aldridge's opportunism, Fowler's repertoire, Owen's pace. It's all there. And in his first season as a marked man in a foreign land playing in the most physically demanding league in the world, he's proved it."
