10 Klicks!!

A whole lot of planning had been put into this and I would like to thank all parties responsible for the walk. It has been dang long since i last had some open space in front of me. So i decided to embark on this journey, of course with a couple of my friends who came along.

1800hrs: We met at Serangoon interchange and took the bus to Jalan Kayu.

1830hrs: Dinner at Mad Jacks. The food pics are all not uploaded as they were captured using my handphone camera. I will upload them the next time i transfer documents from my phone to the PC.

2000hrs: After a very full dinner, the group of us headed out towards Seletar Camp. We passed the original camp entrance. The Boundary had been shift back and now compromises of the East And West Camp. It is absolutely astonishing to find out from laurence that RAF Seletar was the biggest airbase outside of the UK during its prime.

2100hrs: After a darn long walk from the main camp entrance and pass the housing estates of the british officers in the past, we finally reached Seletar airport.

We saw alot of private jets and amongst the planes, a Chinook under maintenance in the ST hangar together with a EC 120 colibri.

I am sorry as capturing images of aircraft is prohibited. I didn’t want to risk a coffee session with the ISD so i didn’t try.

2200hrs: After a short stop at the terminal building, we made our way out towards the outer boundary of the airfield. I cant imagine how big the original camp was. We walked all the way out to the initial gate of the airfield, and we were not even halfway out to the original camp main gate.

2300hrs: Passing by seletar country club, and west camp road, we finally reached Yishun Dam. What can i say, i honestly didn’t expect much people but it was packed on a Saturday night! With couples, families and some car and bike nutters. Some of them even had a BBQ session on the Dam!

2315hrs: After a short break and ice cream for the rest of the team, it was time to move again. Our next stop was Northpoint SC. The route would take us along Yishun ave 1, fight at the first junction and pass the ring road and finally to Northpoint SC.

0015hrs: Finally at Northpoint, we took a break at the 24hrs mac and then planned on what to do. We initially planned to explore Seletar airport. But when we realised that we were walking fast and hit Northpoint before time, we decided to carry on and make sembawang beach our ending point.

0030hrs: After a quick break yet again, We started our second half of our journey. This time the route would be much easier, 2 straight roads all the way to the end.

0300hrs: We finally reached sembawang beach and it was time to spread the ground sheets for a break before the first bus arrives at 6! While the rest slept, i couldn’t. All i did was to stare at the stars and be on my own.

0600hrs: We took bus 882 out to Sembawang MRT and had breakfast before saying our goodbyes.

0830: I am finally home, reading the Sunday times while waiting for my hair to dry.

I would like to thank the group below for their effort and sportsmanship.

Me: Navigation and Equipment

Laurence: Historian and Guardian

Jeremy: Food and Water man

Junli: Safety

It has been a long time since i walked this long. So it was a great expierence for me. Fortunately I didnt have any injury, not even a blister. I dont know how the hell did you peole have blisters abrasions and what not.

I am sorry if i had to push you guys but hey, i just wanted to get there early to lie down. hahahaha..

alrite out!!!!

Under those masks..

I know, there is something under those smiles and laughter. Its something more sinister, something that dosen’t fit in this world.

Its just a facade.

But its the only way to move along.

Ocean’s 13

Alright! I am seriously running on fumes right now. I have not slept since the previous blog post.

——

The sky was high and clear for once. The surroundings were silent except for the passing traffic and the occasional breeze that picks up the dead leaves. It was hot. Scorching hot. The sun was high up and I was struggling in the heat.

The buzz in the distance ripped through the peaceful afternoon. A squadron of F 16s and F 5s headed in the western direction high up in the sky. Followed in the distance by 2 apaches flying very low. The sounds from their rotor blades were amazing. You know that the silent predator is here when you hear that sound. There is no way for you to escape. I picked my head up and forced myself to carry on. As the team stopped to take a rest, we saw the chinook flew past us.. its the advance party I hope. The game was on, i told myself.

Alright. before you ask me why did i end up in Iraq. I’m sorry, i didn’t. That was all i saw, on a normal peaceful day, playing football. hahaha. I loved the strong breeze. Its just so refreshing. Spent the whole morning playing football and went back for a breather before heading out to catch ocean’s 13 with the rest!

Omg, great casting, great acting, great show. 5/5 Beats fantastic 4 hands down.

I would like to watch it again. Advise to all who have not caught it yet. The humor may be a little too cold for you. hahaha.

alright i need sleep.

from the movie itself,

” See you when I see you again.”

Fantastic 4

Ok. Before anyone of you start to swear at me for watching this show when i didnt want to…

I had free tickets. hahahaha..

Andrea and gang had a couple on hand. So i was called in to fill the spaces.

Nice show albeit abit short. I gotta admit that it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. In fact it was good. However, this isnt really my type of movie. But hey, when u have free tics and the company of nice ladies. Nothing really matters right? hahaha

Gotta go. tmr i have a football match at 10 in the morning and another movie to catch in the evening.

bye bye.

Cosmic explosion

Alright. Just finish watching a whole load of TV. F1 was great. My heart goes out to robert kubica. hopefully he recovers soon.

And i gotta dedicate a paragraph to this guy. sato is a legend!! HAHAHA

Where do i start. It has been a hell of a week. Was out the whole night again, went to Jln Kayu, YCK, the japanese cemetery and finally ended up at Kovan all the way till 6am.

I enjoyed the long walk and the stars were nice to me.

Keeping myself busy! Got a whole lot to accomplish before the end of my holiday.

cheers.

Sleepless in the heartlands

I don’t get it.

This is supposed to be a delightful week for me. I have just done my part at the PC Show and have the moolah now. It was suppose to be a great experience. I was supposed to be happy.

But what the fug is happening to me now?

My body clock is screwed. I am spending the night out with all my kopi kahkis.

I sleep after sunrise and wake up at noon.

I eat 1 meal a day.

I am lethargic.

I feel like a slave to myself.

Why? I couldn’t ask for anything to be better. I am happy with what i have now. But it could be better…

Could it?

I just spent the night out chatting with my friend. And here i am after sunrise, back from my cycling.

I need out. I can jog my guts out. I can cycle till my thighs go numb. But i am still like this, here, right now… sleepless in this tiny pigeon hole of mine.

I seriously need something to get me out of this.

I want to go away. sit down in the wilderness, listen to my music and fish the night away.. accompanied by the stars which are so often blinded by the bright cosmopolitan lights.

Its not like i have never been here before. Driving along the expressway and ignoring all the exits. Just keeping it straight.

something is missing from deep inside.

I know its my heart.

I want it back where it belongs.

But where does it belong?

“Its alright I’m okay

I think god can explain

I’m relieved I’m relaxed

I get carried away…”

young man, keep your chin up.

oh and guys, sorry about my ranting. I know it has been same for the past 3 years.

Believe me, it will work out someday.

Someday, it would.

And when that day arrives, get your scripts ready. It would be the best romantic film ever. I assure.

Splender – I think god can explain

there’s a lot of things i understand,
And there’s a lot of things,
That i don’t want to know.
But you’re the only face,
I recognize, it’s so damn sweet of you,
To look me in the eyes.
It’s all right, i’m o.k.,
I think god can explain,
I believe i’m the same,
I get carried away
It’s alright, i’m o.k.,
I think god can explain
I’m relieved, i’m relaxed,
I’ll get over it yet,
The scent of vaseline,
In the summertime,
The feel of an ice cube,
Melting over time,
The world seems bigger than both of us,
Yet it seems so small,
When i begin to cry.
It’s all right, i’m o.k.,
I think god can explain,
I believe i’m the same,
I get carried away
It’s alright, i’m o.k.,
I think god can explain
I’m relieved, i’m relaxed,
I’ll get over it yet,
I’m so much better than you guessed,
I’m so much bigger than you guessed,
I’m so much brighter than you guessed.
It’s all right, i’m o.k.,
I think god can explain,
I believe i’m the same,
I get carried away
It’s alright, i’m o.k.,
I think god can explain
I’m relieved, i’m relaxed,
I’ll get over it yet,
I’ll get off of your back,
I think god can explain.
I think god can explain.
I think god can explain.
