talk talk talk

haven't been blogging for a week.. for some reason.. i was very busy on his first bookout day. LOL.

IEP with my friends.. (something like our final year project thing?), and we finished the discussion earlier than expected. so we decided to walk around..! LOL. went to miss selfridge.. was kinda upset. i love those scrunched-at-the-front peep toe shoes in red. but a size 5 is too small, size 6 is wayyy too loose! i can fit into a 5.. but it isn't comfy.. if its gonna take a long time to expand, i'll be the one who suffers. i wouldn't pay $56.00 to cause discomfort to myself. anyway, after shopping i went home to change and i was out of the house.. to the post office and then to pasir ris.

his HP was outta batt, so he couldn't tell me that there was a delay. ANOTHER COMPANY HAD TAKEN HIS COMPANY'S FERRY! T_T so i waited for another hour. i didn't feel like sitting in macs alone that day.. neither did i feel like leaving the spot where i was standing at because i was afraid i'll miss him or something (his HP's outta batt, remember?). so i just stood there. my legs were so tired. i stood all the way on the train until Bedok as expected. zzz..

it was crazy at pasir ris. whenever a batch of army boys came.. i couldn't recognize anybody. they ALL looked the same.. except for their build. i didn't have the TIME to observe everyone's build.. so i just decided to quickly shift my eyes to stare at the floor when a new batch of army boys came into the control station (i sorta guessed he'll be in it). i told him abt my troubles with identifying him in a crowd.. cos all those with specs look the same, and those without look the same as well - makes it even worse cos they're wearing a hat! so i can't see the head shape. ARGH. he didn't seem to understand what trouble i had.. he said "but you were looking at the floor wad".. i said "yeah. cos if i looked around for you it'll be obvious that i can't recognize you!". so i decided to NOT look like a nut. it'll always be easier for him to spot me than for me to spot him. because i stand out when all the army boys are around me. i've got long hair, they don't. i'm in civilian clothes, they're in military ones. i'm short-sighted, he's not.

we also blew $40.00 on cabs over the weekend. his tummy just didn't happen to be feeling well over 2 days.. it wasn't any shitting pain or whatever.. so it was kinda terrible. so we just hopped from place to place in a taxi.. spending extra time walking to bus stops would probably make anyone's tummyache 10 times more painful than it already is. i thought $40 on cabs over a weekend was bad. amanda spent $100 (or so she claimed!) LOL. out of which, $24.00 from was spent on the cab from cck to pasir ris. honestly, no joke la.

hmm. he sang army songs for me.. haha. they were damn funny, some were sad. there's this song that i know i'll be singing in my heart when its his bookout day~~ (i didn't tell him haha)..

Today is a bookout day, BOOK OUT, BOOKOUT~
Today is a bookout day, BOOK OUT BOOK OUT DAY!
book out book out day~! book out book out day~!
today is a bookout day, book out book out day!

its sung to the tune of Doodah! by cartoons.

he also told me that they had to bring at least 2 photos taken together with their loved ones. i don't know what exactly its for yet though.. LOL. this is the first time i've ever heard of this kinda "order". oh, FHM and Maxim (Singapore editions) are allowed in the army too! i can't help but wonder if anyone brought them in. HAHA. his sergeant said that if they brought in the US editions (which really has nudity, or so the sergeant claims), he'd confiscate it if he found out and pass it to the platoon commander. the platoon commander, who was sitting at a corner all along, suddenly stood up and started nodding his head furiously.. with a look of anticipation and the words "i want i want!" stamped all over his forehead! haha.

he shared with me abt this australian guy who kept asking lame questions. i think he forgot that he's in the ARMY. he asked questions like.. "Sir! Can salt be added to my fries?".. and he asked the cookhouse people if they could slice their apples for them. X_X. obviously, the answers were a NO.

ok sounds like lots of talking.. which is true. (to catch up mah)... we ate.. we talked.. didn't really shop for once (on my part haha), we decided to leave the movies for another day... on friday, he went to the army market to get more of the needed stuff with his friends while i walked around goldenmile complex (there's air con!). it was an eye-opener in there. o well.

went for my bro's bday lunch on sat.. can't get the fish dish out of my mind. it was some Sea Perch thing.. and it was so smooth and juicy and i dunno what. the taste went so well with rice although its equally good if you eat it alone (but i'm a rice fan). i'm not a fishy person, (a pun! a pun! haha..), so when i say that a fish dish is good, its actually superb.

and on Sunday.. it was time for him to book-in again. he had all his ironing and folding done so it wasn't that bad. it was just last min things like Febreze and Glucose and biscuits that had to be put into his huge, heavy black bag before he left for pasir ris again X_X. and when we got to pasir ris (i didn't plan to go there, but i had company home anyway. haha), i met amanda... she boasted a lot abt her bf. X_X i almost died. she boasted in a way that sounded as if she was expecting me to boast back. haha.

hmm. waiting for another weekend again. my trip to bangkok was cancelled :( but now mommy wants to bring me to genting/KL for a short holiday (totally unconfirmed). anyhow, i want to bake this week! :)
