.:. Black is cool! .:.
With Pride we lead...Specialists!
For the first I time I actually felt tired on a weekend sia. Had so many events that I didn't have time to rest properly at home, but they're all happy events so YAY!
Let's start with friday. After 8 months of NS, 6 months of BSLC and Pro-term, 3 days of marching despite the rain, I finally got my parents to put on my BLACK CHEVRONS for me :) Pure proud moment. I made up the decision to become a Serg during the early phases of BMT i remember, going along the train of thought that if I were to spend 1 year 10 months in army, I might as well make something out of it. So I decided to aim for the Sergent rank, which I so proudly put on now. It wasn't exactly a long wait compared to OCS, nor was it short. It was full of ups and downs, of my celebrating and whining altogether to my friends (so thk to you all for being there), and not forgetting my family support. Hence afterall this, I was really proud to be standing there on the parade square with so many parents looking at us (albeit I must admit my legs were burning from the long wait). And to make things even more special I got my friends to witness the occasion too. So its double happiness!

My family.

Thanks for coming people!
After the POP, which ended roughly around 7-8+pm, we went to dinner, of which my parents kindly sponsored (thks mum and dad!). Then we (Sushan, Mich, Ryan and me) went over to Serangoon Gardens for dessert. The 2nd storey place was too full, so in the end we had to make do with another. Which I must say wasn't tat good. The waiting time was very long, and they got our orders mixed up. But sometimes mistakes are good. Because of the mix up I got a Durian dessert, which was omg really good! You can really taste the durian in it, as in authentic durian taste not flavour. Sat down chatted awhile, then we left.
Sat morn, got dragged by my dad to Converse year-end warehouse sale. There wasnt really much to buy, I was looking for more on clothes. But I found this pair of really cheap shoes, $10. Its like men's leather working shoes, jus that instead of leather its cloth, dunnoe what its called. Then went to had roti prata for lunch. In the end, I was late for Kbox session. We (Sushan, Wendy, Zhiyong and me) were supposed to go to this cheap K place in chinatown, but it got fully booked. So we had no choice but to pay $30 for Kbox. Yes I know it was very expensive. But the room we got was like OMG! We all stunned when we entered it, it was H.U.G.E! There were 2 tv sets side-by-side (for what reason I dunnoe), and there was like one sofa for each of us HAHA! Too imba liao. I know it was very over-budget but considering I dun K often and its sort of a "Chinese-side" of gof thing, I dun mind la.

Chinese branch of GOF.
Kbox ended around 5+pm. Went over to Koi for sushan to satisfy her craving/hunger, OG and then proceeded to Dakota mrt. Ryan was there first, then us, then Ter and Mich, followed lastly by Jia Yen again. With inbetween quirks such as me and ryan screaming hungry, disovering sushan had double chin, bimbo antics and calculating BMI (Sushan you're UNDER-BMI get it!). With strength accounted for, we trudged over to old airport road hawker centre for FOOD! Took a long time finding seats, cos there was 8 of us, lucky ryan was good. And the good thing bout eating in huge group, more food!!! A list of what we ate. In increasing price order: $5 Char kway teow, $5 Rojak, $6 Oyster omellette, $8 Barbeque chicken wing, $15 Satay and $18 Claypot rice. AWESOME! Ate all the way till 10.30 then left. And jus to put in my blog so that in case I forget in future and when I read this I can remember. Sushan actually thought that mutton came from cows! HAHA EPIC PHAIL TTM! Maybe it was a confused lamb?
Sun morn. Got dragged out by my family to go orchard shopping lolz( Bcos we had this $20 313 somerset voucher)! In the end what happened. My mum bought for me 2 shirts, which I think are very awesome looking and the cut is good from Natural Project at $108 (OMG! I would never dare pay so much), shirt from Tangs for my dad. and some other random stuff. Which means we spent alot more than the $20 voucher even before reaching 313, and in the end we too tired that we jus spammed the voucher on snacks to bring home HAHA!
So now you see why I'm so tired. But it was all great! Like a post POP celebration for me.
Though I would say my post BMT celebration is still the best thus far hehe :)
