Remember I said something about making sushi? Tada!








Only left with a little rice, why not make something for myself

Oh well things that I hope I knew before hand are:
- 10 piece of seaweed sheet require around 3 cups of rice.
- Plan ahead, if not you will end up with a lot of leftover food =(
- Do not eat anything before making sushi, cause for every row, you have to eat the pieces at both extreme ends
- Do not cut the sushi from center and keep divide them into two... That will leave you with ugly pieces of sushi. Start from the side and work your way to the end.
- Expensive seeweed?! Bitch please, unless you are a level up, just get the cheap one will do.

About time to reflect

13 Nov 2011.
Thats the date of my last post. Wow, thats really quite some time.

So officially, this is going to be my first post of the year!
Just checked the tracker, doubt anyone I know is still reading my blog. And guess what? Mei Ling shifted her blog (let me go an check... Yeap, confirmed, dead), that means I am the only one left in blogger =(

Been wanting to blog since the last batch end, but there are just to much distraction around. I have to purposely take a 10 minutes bus to Starbucks to find the mood to blog again. And to show you that I am not lying, here's a picture.
Hmmm, there are so many many things that I wanted to log down~ Yeap, cause when I look through my blog's photos and entries, they remind me of who I was and where am I. But due to slow internet connection and the restriction of image capturing devices... Blogging seem too much of a chore to me. Not to mention about the mundane lifestyle I am having right now.

Hey hey, I am here to blog, Starbucks closes in another 45 minutes time! Time is running out -Tick Tock Tick Tock! Focus, Zhan Peng Focus!

Green part are army related~ Not interested, SKIP AHEAD --->

First of all, why not start with something recent? Okay, I have just finished my THIRD, ya 9 months in a row, THIRD batch of cadets. Since we have been working all the way for the past 9 months (for some its a YEAR!), our boss is kind enough to give a a mini holiday~ 3 weeks away from work, away from office. In another words, OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND~

Another thing that happened quite recently is my brother finally got enlisted, and on the same day I was promoted to Lieutenant! Wow, looking back, time really flies~ 2 years just like that. And honestly, after knowing the number of my friends that became an Officer, I am really impress by myself~

Still army related, I JUST EXTEND another 6 months on top of the original 1 year 10 months I have to serve. Its really sad to say that the main reason I took up this scheme is because of the root of all evil... Money. I know very well that my motivation level of teaching cadets is really dropping.

First batch: Although I knew nuts about teaching, but I was passionate, and when you are passionate, somehow everything works out. Was really glad, that the entire section came back and look for me during Joint Term... For a first timer, I think I did quite a good job.

Second batch (a series of unfortunate events batch): I kept getting injuries, WHY! So the initial stage is kinda a downer, your own section not performing =( Don't want to blame others but there is a little voice inside my head saying, you did not take them personally for the training, so don't be so hard on yourself. Ha, I even apologise to them for not putting in as much effort as my first batch. However, they are a bunch of nice cadet (never say up argh, only nice!) And thanks for all the present =)

Third batch (market rate batch): Okay, this is really really unprofessional... I think everyone is tired. Batch after batch, first is Tekong then Platoon stuff and then Scorpion King, basically you repeat everything~ So I kinda got really lazy, I will only do work and interact with my cadet as often as others. So when the bulk of the instructors are inside office playing among themselves, I joined in... And when majority when overseas, I stayed inside the office. So many times, I can interacted with my cadets, I chose other wise... To make things worse, the platoon emphasise a lot in doing everything as a platoon. So when everyone gathers, there is this instructor who will engage them, conveniently I just sit there and let him talk. Seriously I don't blame 85/11 for hating me if they see this... So sorry.

And that is the first time I got my first negative remarks =( Of me being bias, not knowing my stuffs, should have been there when they needed me... Guilt. Thats how I felt when I stamp my name on their performance book. Honestly I have not done enough to be call their instructor, and so as the rest...

So for year 2012! When 87/12 is in, I will not repeat this mistake! Not going to regret or feel guilty when they leave me this time.

Now lets touch on what I have been doing for the three weeks that I am away from the office~

Relative. Never think that my family is close to any relative... So every time there is a visit, there will be this awkward atmosphere. WHY, CANT EVERYONE JUST BE INTERESTED IN SNSD, AND WE CAN ALL GO BLAH BLAH BLAH ABOUT KOREAN AND STUFF. But I guess one does not just meet once a year and expect everyone to go RaRa, and all hyped up~ Relationship need maintenance, and that really require effort -.-

Which brings me to the next point. I am putting in efforts now! Have been meeting old, new, recent, army, etc etc friends for the past three weeks.

Can't really put my thoughts into words until I join Platoon 2. The hard truth is that every group/clique needs an identity. For example when you guys are studying, everyone is bounded together as classmate, and within that short 2, 3 years you guys are unable to find something else in common... Its really quite hard to maintain such friendship.

What are we going to do, where to go, who to ask, these are some of the questions that are hard to answer when it comes to class outing... Cause basically, BBQ and chalet is about all there is that you guys might actually enjoy.

So as of now, I have one walking clique, BMTC saved me clique, one pull me through OCS clique, kayaking clique, running man clique(? Haha) and the 'late night nothing to do so lets meet up and dota and if we are hungry, why not supper' clique. Still looking into the last one for a better purpose actually. The tricks lies in finding things that everyone enjoys and make it a regular thing (regular can be twice a year also, since everyone is busy most of the time). If you are unable to establish an identity, once you are married... chances are you are not going to see them again.

ARGH, CLOSE SHOP~

*WALK HOME*

And we are back... Apparently, I got no mood again =/ Oh well, off to watch some HELLO BABY with SNSD =P

And ya, will attempt to make sushi tomorrow~

Oops sorry (The other part)

Hey hey, if you are not interested or you are anti K-pop. I did you a favor, I broke my post in two, the one below is all about my recent K-Pop activities. This one is about everything else, so here we go!

First of all, OMG JeW! Welcome to my ghost town =) Really appreciated it. Since you are here, send me the the photos via Email can? Hahaha.

Since I do not have a picture of what happened on Thurs and Friday, shall give a brief update.

Thurs: 
Jiawei just touched down not long ago, so the OCS gang (From now one when I say OCS gang, I mean Zheng Gang, Jiawei and How Sun) went out together. Ohhh, plus one of Zheng Gang random friend, call... Ermm... Emilyne I think, NTU dance captain wor~

Really like the shirt alot! Thanks HOW SUN!
Incase you can't see the word properly, 'Seem like everyone is avoiding me' Yeap, that's totally me XD

The day ended with the 3 guys learning how to pop and lock from Emilyne, I just stand and watched =I Actually feels quite fun just watching them. Next time, next time maybe I will join in, just for fun

Oh, the day really ended when How Sun and I darted for the last train! Lucky~

Friday:
Crashed an outing with Jun Rong and Ming Hao! Hahaha, OMG, never knew Ming Hao was quite funny and guai lan, now I know.

Then went to arcade and saw this guy who have $600++ in his Time Zone card... What?!

Lastly, went to Party World to sing. $8 for 2 hours O.O! WOW! At least now I know the optimal length of time to sing is actually 2 to 3 hrs. That is when your throat stand feeling a bit strain... Looking back, most of my singing session is with Jian Hui and Gang which last from 11am to 5.45 pm, almost up to full 6 hours!

Really like this song after Ming Hao sang it.


Hmmm, think I want to really master a song. Thinking it will be 擦肩而过, quite easy to sing actually, maybe ... Ahhhh, what the heck, will think about it when I am free. After I am done with my SNSD shirt and Blogskin.

TO END OF THIS POST!

Yeap, this is the sword I am making, length 1.5 meter. The only thing is I don't know how to cut the hand guard =( See the shaded parts above? HOW TO CUT!?! That's why my project is stuck for so long =(

Oops sorry (K-Pop part)

No updates =/
Why?!
And also because I am so darn lazy!

INVINCIBLE YOUTH! Really a nice show to watch!! However I don't know if it applies to girls too though?!

FIRST! THIS IS THE VIDEO THAT GOT ME INTO KPOP. Yeap, the ones they plays on laptops in COURTS


Yeap, they are known as G7 from Invincible Youth! Hence, explain why I get to know Goo Hara which leads to me seeing these.






All from Invincible Youth ( ' '.) And so I went and find the subbed version of the show, and if you are free and got nothing to do. Why not give it a try? First episode link is over here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzR_8zsm3bM

Oh, if you want to know what is it about, its about throwing pop stars into a village and allow them to complete tasks, some which I felt that its quite meaningful, like calling their grandparent (Psk, its on ep 2 by the way). 

Want to change my BLOGSKIN! But I have been away from blogger so long... HTML code seem like alien language to me O.O One day, after this batch of cadets or when I got an good IDEA (maybe... Has not come up with anything creative lately)

To end this post off:

Was designing a T-Shirt to wear for the SNSD concert! I like this alot, but! Can't really tell that it is Taeyeon =(

Whoooooo~!

Second time.
That was the second time I actually in a long line waiting.
You know like back then where there is this Hello Kitty rush, then Iphone, Harry potter etc etc... Yeap, I queued for SNSD tickets again and guess what??
Hate it! It is so hard blogging from camp! So the small part was written by me on Tuesday. After not sleeping for 30++ hours, all excited because I got the SNSD tickets... but damn can't upload photos in camp! Then the internet speed is so slow too, and I got lazy not forgetting tired =(

When I am free... the excited mood is long gone =.= Then I am left with an half finished post to complete =( Thus explains the procrastination, thus explains why this post is dated Tuesday but was out on a Sunday.

Okay, so I went crazy with the SNSD ticket sales this time... Was feeling real bad, as I left my job behind, took an half day off to queue for my personal interest. But then I remember what I told myself recently, Sometime, you have to just fuck care others do something for yourself!


THE TICKETS!
I think I am tired of hearing people talking about me... Meh. 

This is the place we sat for around 10 hours while queuing for the tickets!
Me: Eh, Zhi Kun very long never take photos liao hor.
Zhi Kun: Ya hor
And thanks to this guy I managed to get to be one of the first in the line!

Anything happened recently?!

Lim En is gone... Don't know why but I think I am kinda sick of the drama, plus she seems rather pissed with me for the last fews days... So I am actually, quite neutral about her leaving. But she thought me something that I have lost sometime ago... That is to be appreciative. Didn't know I was taking many things for granted, and even if others aren't appreciative, that is not a reason for me to be one of them.

Honestly, thanks for everything. Thanks for taking over me as the the wing Camera man, thanks for letting drive the car =X 

Other than that... I gotta nothing much lor! Sooo long never talk to Rong and Siong liao =/ I think they think I forget them lor...

This is a typical weekend where I did nothing much =/ Sooo.... Here are something that is interesting online
THE AKINATOR!
What?! Zhan Peng why do you find this Ali Baba interesting?! Hey, you have no idea how magical this thing is. Just answer 20 questions and he can correctly guess who are you thinking... Don't believe me? Go try it yourself, http://en.akinator.com/.

Interesting right?!

Then there is also this online shop that sells really interesting stuff! Its call Vat19 http://www.vat19.com/. Weird name for a site that sells weird stuff. Running out of idea for birthday present? Why not give this a try?

Spent most of my time on stalking checking out Goo Hara~ I can go on and on, but I know how boring it is if you are not interested in this. But~


*Melts* Turning into a chee ko bei ( °٢° ) *drool*

And lastly, here is my phone and laptop desktop:

11.11!

 Actually, showing phone desktop for fun only la. Main thing is the laptop's. Looks nice and classy without all the icons right?!
To get the toolbar below simply just go to http://rocketdock.com/ and install the toolbar and if you want to add anything, just drag it onto the bar below and change the icons. Thats it, till then,bye bye.

No so into the Kpop thingy, I guess~

Waaaa, didn't expect the post to be long! But I guess thats what happen when you delete your facebook... Yea, I did! You know what does it mean?? (Not going to receive any birthday wishes any more ಥ‿ಥ)

Took me forever to get this right!
Goo Hara, new eye candy~ °o°

You think very easy to make this phone wallpaper meh? Try finding this scene (above) in this MV and you will know how crazy I am =/ Hint the scene is actually only 1 second long.

Saw it? Its 2.04 to 2.05. When to the extend to check frame by frame to see which scene looks the best~

Then there is this irritating thing about my phone. The height of the phone is 900 pixels and my laptop height is 768px ( How can a phone with smaller screen house more pixels?! What?~)... So apparently the screenshot took on my laptop became blur when I use it as wallpaper for my phone... So need to add a transition to the larger black background. And I think I went way too detailed, this s*it is getting boring, MOVING ON~

Wasn't really into the Kpop thingy until the whole SNSD saga happened. Both Felix and Jian Hui both stressed on wanting the 'First Concert' experience, and just nice we did our combat shoot and got a bonus of $200 (Just nice for the tixs)... That's when I agreed in going to the SNSD concert, even though I had no idea who's who except Yoona~
Out of all of 'em, she is the only one I can recognise. And I am very sure I am not alone! All the others looks like they visited the same doctor... That is if they undergo plastic surgery. Speaking of which, how can people looks so different after every other album ( .' ')?? Make-ups, that's how!

One particular make-up that society has forgotten is this thing call a smile. I miss that. Now everyone look so cold when they face their own screen.

Technology had made us much more lonely. Now, everyone has either a smartphone, MP3 player, tablet or at least a phone. So the moment you board the train or bus, everyone is wired to their earphone and enjoy they little own comfort circle. (But then even in the past, people also don't talk to stranger on the train or buses) Ermmm... I just shot myself in my foot aanndd... I don't know how to con't from here, so lets skip. If you roughly know what point I am coming at, thats good enough. (Yeap, I still feel that people not interracting with one another is a bad thing!)

So before I got  carried away, I was talking about SNSD concert yes! Went scouting with Jian Hui yesterday at Lot1 to see if anyone is queuing overnight (Kinda regret not doing so now) for the concert tixs~ Wow, no one is going to queue overnight~ Phew

*The next day* 
Reached at 9am when the sales starts at 10am... GONE! We are roughly the 100th person (#゚Д゚)

Felix the mathematician conclude that:
-30 SISTIC outlets in Singapore
-So we are actually the 30 X 100 = 3000th on the queue
- So even if everyone just buy 2 tickets... SOLD OUT!
- What more, everyone is entitled to buy 6...
THAT WAS EXACTLY HOW IT HAPPENED! 5500 Tickets sold out in 4 Hours! And today is supposed to be priority sale. So the tickets are sold out way before the official release date... Hmmm... Wow... T.T
9.00 AM This is the queue to a hall way, then to the stairs and one more hall way before we can reach the counter.
After 5 hours of waiting for miracles, the final words has been said... All 5500 of them was gone by 2PM

Felt so much better after Ronald McDonald cheered me up a little.
That is all.

  

Lazy to post again =( Butttttt~

I met up with Jian Hui today. And it felt so good~ HAHAHA...

Time to look back~
Really damn lucky to meet this crazy retard! Who in the right mind would agree to walk from Boon Lay to Pasir Ris with me? Haha~ During dinner we summed up all our walking trip~

And we have the,
1) Boon Lay to Pasir Ris, Part 1 and 2
2) Punggol to Khatib (Intended to reach Woodlands de)
3) West coast to East coast
4) Joo Koon to Pasir Ris, Part 1, 2 and 3
5) I remember got 5! Forget what is this one already =/

Then there are these few projects going to happen (?!!), "All JCs", "IKEA to IKEA", "The NTU-NUS-SMU-SUTD" and "Circle line". Not forgetting s few non-walking activities~ YAY~ So glad I meet this sucker who accompany me in all the insane stuns~ Everyone odd to have one of this kinda friends!!

And speaking of friends... I actually have one friendship that is 15 years old this year! Mr Lim Jun Rong! And following behind is Mr Lau Kim Siong with 12 years (not 13, I smsed wrongly)! And by friends I mean still got meet up in regular basis that kind~

And blogger is kinda boring... Even mL left
It started with Nerd, Liping, mL, Waner... Then I join the blogging thingy and then everyone started to have blog. After a few months, one by one, all of them died... First was Jian Hui, then was Kim Siong, then Rong's... Then eventually everyone slow down in whatever they post... Liping gone, Waner (still update once in a while though), Nerd and recently mL... Yeap, will definitely miss her bitching about anything in the world~

Now how am I suppose to know whats happening in their life? Now I would have to start a conversation with them and that... is what anyone is supposed to do! But I still prefer stalking... Easier to start topic when we really have to... talk =/

Lone Blogger...blogspot.com/ LOL~

AFTER SO LONG!

HELLO WORLD ONCE AGAIN! So sick of jumping here and there... I know right?!

Okay... First of all thanks to lisa, mygirl, Terry, Jessica, ccard and gang for keeping my chatbox occupied =/ Damn those spams, time to get a new tag board!!!

=( Really missed this place, even if the link no longer make any sense now~ But after so long, I kinda like LOVE IT!

Okay, so I hopped from:
http://minus31degree.blogspot.com/ to
http://messedupcrap.tumblr.com/ to
http://tilligether.tumblr.com/ to
http://goingthroughmotion.tumblr.com/ (I am keeping this, tumblr is soooo addictive) to
this is tricky, http://igotnothingtodosoicreatedthisbloghaha.blogspot.com/ and lastly to
http://oopssorrymybad.blogspot.com/ where I try to find something interesting to do everyweek and post...
And back here again!

I actually put in effort for the latest blog, I will really go and find fun and interesting things to do but then, this happened.
I stabbed myself with this o.o!If you zoom in you can still see the blood on the blade =/ If you are interested in how it happened this will be one of the stories I will share when we meet, if we meet. So basically, after this happened I can only type like how I type in primary school.... One finger pressing all the keys, that kinda... sucks. So I didn't update much~ Actually I didn't update at all =X

Really http://oopssorrymybad.blogspot.com/ was kinda great, this is the first time I show effort to blog after soooooo longggg!!!! Real efforts and pictures and words and feelings and emotions and Zaammmm~ (I seriously think that if you see me in real life, you will be disappointed. I am only high when I am typing stuff in blog form. If you see me as a person, I am like a tumblr scrolling robot, facing the computer screen all day long. Or am I?!)

So I guess there is no point in posting long remarks. Not going to make this post super long anyway!!! So to keep it simple just picture and captions.

My trying to camwhore after like a year and a half without cam phone. Failed ._. double, triple chin.
Prawning with the Sierra instr~ Its kinda fun when you keep hooking prawns~
First time, I skewered the prawn when its alive~ Not going to lie, kinda scary (I just typed "scariest shit ever", but I find it abit too much so I back spaced it...)
As part of the effort to bring the clique back, I sort of pulled every Singaporean son together to stomp JJ house for her birthday... But Su told me she won't be in T.T So in the end I just slip this at her door.
It was really damn funny when she told me she thought it was some random stalker from her school! OMG! I really LOL on the phone!

*Scrolling through pictures*

Ahhh, I liked this picture alot! But because of this, I stabbed my hand while changing... Oh ya ya, story when we meet, shhhhh.
When to this cool shop call Caesars @ Singapore Plaza
After this photo I was stopped, 'Sir, no photography please...' :(

Heres the link btw http://www.caesars.com.sg/web/index.php

So wanna buy the whole shop down! There is something about me and sword and olden gun and axe and... THEY ARE SO ELEGANT! ARGH~

Then I happened to be reading this blog that makes prop for cos-play, http://volpinprops.blogspot.com/

So I decided to make Ichigo's Bankai sword!
After getting all the dimensions right... I remembered that compress wood can't be sand and crafted...
SO! I went to ART FRIEND and buy the WOODS and SAW and what not~ So excited!
Working in progress
So far it looks like that! I got lazy and try to take short cut, got back fired =(
So right now, what you see is what you get... Thats my life so far, boring hor?!

I still find the girl down there hot (in this MV only...), SANDARA! Superficial me =/ still.

Don't go there...

And at the same time I found this http://www.singlishdictionary.com!!! The website even explain terms like Kan Ni Na and Chao Chee Bai, kinda funny actually X)

Was listening to my Wei Jie's love story and it seem familiar and so I introduce him the song 'Wedding Dress'... And he was immediately hooked on to it. Not just that he also found this!!!!

Omg! Girls that can dance are really hot! Especially at 0.52... That move is a win!!! I seriously can't think of any guys that don't agree witn me! Oh well, maybe gays. OMG, keep replaying this song just to see the girl dance =X

I think I am slowly entering K-pop... slow hor?! I can still remember me saying that I will never appreciate any song that I can't understand the language =X But I kinda understand... Argh damn those Korean girls and their dance move...

Hmmm, had a fun and slack day today.... Haha, when you are with people that you can clique, every single thing seems hell funny XD

Okay, enough about that, time to go watch Gee... judge me if you want
