Swimming Pool
The other day something funny happened. I was at Cathay standing next to a pillar when I noticed this couple running around me, playing catching.

They went two loops around me and only stopped when I stared at them…. OMG Do I look like a coconut tree? Hahahaha

27th-Jun-2009 02:42 pm - Spooky happenings on set!
Hahahaa my psychotic lookin pic
Wow finally finished a week of intensive filming! It’s been like one week of filming till 3am and then I still got to go for work. Brings back memories of the Cubik film week!



Anyway for one famous night, we did our filming at this abandoned mansion in Grange Road. The garden was huge, we had to walk through a jungle to get there…..



Welcome to the deserted mansion…



Check out the place, it’s freaking huge and there is a gigantic glass window behind the staircase. And the second level is just amazing…

After a brief tour, we started filming. Heee my gang boss from Cubik, Laurence, was here, but this time at my mercy. Such an interesting change of character….. But I dun wanna give away too much.



Anyway here I am, with Benjamin and Jeanne (the leads of our film)!



Might be more fun to talk about the spooky happenings on set!

Beware the ghosts of abandoned houses! )

22nd-Jun-2009 09:42 pm - Vroooom, Rev's here!
Hahahaa my psychotic lookin pic
Check out my eyeliner…..



Yup this is my latest look for a new film. I’m playing Rev, a biker gang leader. And the stylist was saying hahaha that eyeliner makes me look more badass…. Faint, I look like I haven’t slept in a while!



Anyway we filmed at Movida, so this is my first time there and it’s pretty interesting, hee so like I said before, I only get to visit all these clubbing places when I film!



And because I had five hours between filming, I decided to grab lunch at Vivo. I had problems getting rid of my eyeliner because I didn’t have the proper makeup removal with me. As you can guess, I had a lot of weird attention. On hindsight, I probably shouldn’t have lingered over my hotdog for lunch! I think I gave ppl a very wrong impression hahahahaa!



Back to the gang, check out our bikes! Vroooooommmmm yup yup 4 bikes – all black except mine. Rev rides the flashy blue one! I remember it was stressful doing the ride in, cos we rode right next t the coffeshop, yup, and we had to do a sharp turn and I had to ride next to the dolly track… very stress cos I’m the first bike. And yes this bike is way larger and more powerful than the bikes I normally use! Lucky I didn’t screw it up! Heee I guess being a recce scout does have its uses after all!



And a very funny NG! )

14th-Jun-2009 04:52 pm - Cherlyn's Bday!
Swimming Pool


Celebrated Cherlyn’s bday last sat. It’s like a mini media event. It’s nice to meet everyone off-set.




It’s like for once I can talk nicely to ppl and not be shouting at them or threatening ppl which is what I do on-set most of the time, hahahaha.

Anyway I think it’ll be a great year for everyone, the REM gals have finished Season 2 of REM. Many of the people present here are getting ready for their respective movies. (I dunno how far I can mention anything since their press releases are not out yet.)

Anyway I made Cherlyn a little gift, hope she likes it! Yup it’s a 3D pic of Ellery, Sharon, Cherlyna dn me at a pub! Yup my first telemovie was with them and it’s nice to make a gift with all of them in it for remembrance!



Happy Bday Cherlyn! Hope you have fun this year!

9th-Jun-2009 12:34 am - The most amazing ATEC ever!
Hahahaa my psychotic lookin pic
ATEC’s over at last! I was dreading it all along but wow I can truly say that I enjoyed every minute of it with my fellow scouts!

For those not in the know, ATEC is the assessment that every unit has to undergo during their NS active time as well as during their 6th and 7th year reservist. It’s a test of how ready everyone is to fight. If the unit does well, the rest of their reservist is smooth sailing, else too bad!!!!

Anyway so we had to perform two attack and two defense missions. As scouts, our duty is to avoid enemy contact and spy on their fortifications. We don’t do any actual fighting, yup we run away from everything.

This ATEC, we bucked the trend!!!! Here’s a brief synopsis of our most daring exploits (no pics so i use lego):


1. During the first mission, in a simulated helicopter landing, teams Delta and Alpha were airlifted into the jungle. Unfortunately, their Helicopter was immediately attacked by a marauding GPMG (General Purpose Machine Gun) mounted Jeep! They quickly teamed up and attacked the jeep, killing all on board. We made history taking down a jeep with just the SAR21s! First kill to the scouts!



2. My team Foxtrot was en-route to our battle surveillance position when we realized that our intelligence side gave us a very bad location, we had to go right through the entire enemy base to reach the location. We sneaked pass two encampments, and were almost clear of the last one when one of their eagle-eyed troops blasted us with their MG! My team scattered but were shot down on the road. I was the only one who escaped by bashing into the vegetation. I used all the tricks I knew to evade capture that night. And throughout the night I continued to study the enemy forces and sent reports to my commander. Heeee will give the rest of the story of how I eventually escaped in another entry!

3. In the second mission, my team was set upon by a GPMG outpost and instead of escaping, we regrouped with teams Alpha and Delta (behind us) and attacked the outpost, clearing it with only one scout killed and two injured.


But before we could recover, two jeeps heard the commotion and rushed down attacking us. We took cover and fought back. With the timely assistance of team Charlie, our platoon minus fought the jeeps and pushed them back. Yup we never backed down and the jeeps retreated after an hour’s fight!


We were running low on time and we dispatched two scouts (the damn zai Zhaoyang) to recce the enemy objective while the rest secured a Form Up Place for the entire battalion. I was supposed to be one of the two scouts cos I gained a reputation as the "Uncatchable Scout" then but as I lost my specs the night before, someone else went in my stead. We learnt that the jeeps had hidden around a bend way up front and we formed a scout assault force to take them down. 5 of us - Alwyin, Victor Wong, Elvin, Junyong and me scouted ahead and we noticed the gunner was in the front seat, so we quickly charged them and killed the jeep before they could retaliate.

4. In the last mission, Team Charlie was attacked by a tank and the whole team was shot down. Save one – Nic. Nic survived the tank shot to continue his battle surveillance. Yup, Nic is now dubbed as the Unkillable Scout, even tanks cannot shoot him down!

Yup, every one of us from the 682 scout platoon is now famous in ATEC history for our exploits! Our battalion made H-hour safely because we cleared the entire way up to the objective! I overheard the ATEC commander debriefing our umpires that they can learn a lot from our platoon. He was saying that this team of scouts were highly exceptional and very motivated, to the extent that we defied SAF doctrine to remove all obstacles in front of the battalion. Hahahah he did say later that in future, we must stick to SAF doctrine and not be such mavericks but for now, he is extremely pleased with our performance. I got a personal commendation from the commander as well for being a one-man team!

High siah! It’s definitely my privilege to fight amongst my best pals this ATEC!

31st-May-2009 06:21 pm - Kill?
Hahahaa my psychotic lookin pic
In a world where we advocate peace, we are now asked to silence anyone we meet in the battleground tomorrow.

Which makes me wonder, the adrenaline rush I am getting, is it a reflection that I am not as pacifist as I should be?

And the next thing, could I really kill someone if I needed to? A tough question indeed….

29th-May-2009 06:56 pm - Yay nothing's broken!
Hahahaa my psychotic lookin pic
Sighhhhhh really no more stunts and photoshoots for the time being.



Check out the scar! Yup it runs across my bod... Hahahaha was told by the doc to avoid heavy loads and that probably includes no stunts for the time being.



Thankfully my x-ray reveals no broken bits, so all damage is only on the surface chest wall.

But I got to fight ATEC next week….. Oh well, we’ll see what happens. But I’m cutting down on action shows for these period of time.

29th-May-2009 08:43 am - Flattened during reservist!
Hahahaa my psychotic lookin pic
Yesterday I was doing a mission, happily riding my bike to go re-supply the rest of my friends with fresh water in between our missions, when my foot got snagged by a stray signal wire.

So I got jerked backwards and the bike fell on me. Now normally with the SAF bikes, there is a metal frame on the side which prevents anyone from getting squashed when the bike falls over, but cos my leg was pulled backwards by the wire, the metal frame fell just above my ankle. And And of all the places to land, I had to land on a tree root so my ribs were also bashed.

Lucky got teammates nearby to pull the bike off me else I'll probably be stuck there all flat under the bike. But I dun think anything's really broken. Now just got scars here n there. No swimwear photoshoots for the time being until I heal. Not unless anyone wants to see the scar running across my ribs!

Considering that I just got a role as a biker gang leader and I just had this bike mishap....

I think it's Irony!

The warrant who was giving us a refresher course was saying that we cannot bring the SOI out during our missions cos we are gonna be stuck right within enemy forces. U never know when you'll become a POW!

He was saying that SAF soldiers all very zai, will never reveal anything under torture. You can squeeze their fingers between bamboo sticks and they'll never reveal anything.

But one torture will get all answers...... just approach him with a cockroach! Ahhhhhhhhh immediately you'll get any answer!

First week of reservist is down!

Hmmmm this reservist I seem to be having a lot less sleeping. More waiting for things to happen, I wonder how much time is actually spent waiting! Yes our Army is the “decisive force”!

At any rate, it turns out that I’m probably gonna have to wear the “broccoli vomit green” uniform so I am now thinking of what my new camo style should be. My usual is the coconut trees, hmm maybe I must do pixellated coconut trees!

I remember there was this Warrant who was going through a revision with us and he was commenting about the amazing capabilities of the SAF uniform:



1. Upon wearing the green uniform,guys immediately cannot do anything when it rains! Hahahaha once u’re out of the green - thunderstorm? Hahahah that won’t stop ur soccer games!

2. No one can sleep when there’s any noise. But put on the green and no matter how noisy the signal set is, everyone can sleep. Only one word wakes everyone up – “Link Up”!

Anyone it’s time for me to go in for my second week at reservist and I have packed in more boardgames! Let’s see how Roborally and Red Dragon Inn works with them!

 

P.S. The Disney game worked remarkably, we’ve seen Snow White become a man (aka Mulan) and got thrown out of the game cos Mulan didn’t wanna see a naked man ever again! Oh I am starting to think this game has a lot of weird unexpected effects!

20th-May-2009 12:04 am - Bing Bday 2009!
Hahahaa my psychotic lookin pic
Bing’s bday was another of those must meet sessions for our class dudes. This year it was held at a restaurant near his place. Oh the food was excellent.



N I realized one thing, I must be the most financially unsavvy person in my group! The rest all park their cash in investments everywhere, I’m the only dude who’s still swamped to my chest in liquidity.

c

Maybe I need a financial planner…. Or its time for me to invest in some new ventures! Den I’ll be a venture capitalist! Or maybe I can start my own boardgame company!!!!

But before that, I need to pack up for reservist tomolo! Hmmm all the food in these pics make me hungry. But it cannot compare to my outfield menu, I got my French onion soup, bread with chicken curry, crackers with tuna, chips n salsa, hotdogs and nata de coco! Picnic Survivor style!

16th-May-2009 11:10 pm - Games for reservist 2009
Hahahaa my psychotic lookin pic
My reservist friends label me the entertainment rep and it’s time for me to decide what board games to bring in this reservist. It’s 3 weeks so I need to find something suitable to let them try this year.

The difficulty resides in bringing games that fit into my bag and games that are easy to teach yet have a lot of humour and can handle many players easily.

My initial choices this year will be the mix of the following genres:

1. Playing evil clandestine characters: Saboteur, Shadow Hunters, Bang
These games are great for the suspense! Who's on ur side and who's not!



2. Playing evil characters in a bar: Red Dragon Inn (And we’ll use real beer! Let’s see who goes drunk first!)
It's my no. 1 game right now!



3. Simple mass player games: Incan Gold
Treasure hunting for the whole gang!


4. And of cos my very own Disney Movie Card Game!



Other games that have been requested and I am contemplating are: Roborally, Bacchus’ Banquet, Red November and Niagara. I wonder which game will be the breakthrough hit for this reservist! Yup it's my job to make reservist fun for everyone! Does anyone wanna be in my platoon?

15th-May-2009 12:12 am - Army army yet again!
Budgie and me
These few days have been freaking siong for me….. Cos I am working on the release of the new interface for the software and my reservist is next week!

Been trying to defer for just three days to get all my work settled and the CO still hasn’t made up his mind yet…..

Well in the meantime, it’s been endless programming of tutorials for the software and preparing for presentations over the next few days. Ahhhhhhh….

Oh well, once I get all my work done, at least reservist will be a good chance to rest! Hmmm I got another headache, what camo pattern to do this year? Coconut tree again? And time to wear the "Count on Me Singapore" uniform!
