The Singapore Army Reality TV show

Ministry of Defend had came out with an awesome idea to showcase our National Service endeavour by putting up a series of reality TV on youtube. Weekly they will have an update of episode which would last for the whole length of (Basic Militry Training) BMT training.Which probably 8 weeks if my memory hasn't fail me. Target audiences are for pre-enlistee, parents and girlfriends of the men who will be going to protect our precious land.


Survival series: NS Singapore; 18 episode,90 days and ZERO survival


I believe it will turn out to be a total crap. So much profanity and inhumanity will censored through the film production to protray our NS "professional" image. They will audit those most garang, gungho and English native speaker for the production. How about the hokkien peng and the cao geng kia? Would they be featured in the making? Propaganda cannot get any better than this. Hope they can prove me wrong, so here is a little preview and the links to the show.

C901 camera review with photos

Today, I am going to review on C901 since I had been using for like 1 weeks. This time no comparsion to N82 or other 5 mp camera phone. Just purely C901 photo for people who wants to see the quality of the camera.

But before I get to conclusion, my forewords are N82 is the greatest camera photo ever. If you are thinking what camera phone to get. N82 and no question asked. Btw I forgot to blog about the "last dinner" before I came to Australia, so this review gives a dual purpose. Enjoy.

** All photo taken with C901 unless other wise stated. (for reviewing purposes all picture are scaled to 600 x 450 without other editing)

First let see what is the camera capable off.


Random picture in Bendigo


100% crops

Let's see how the camera handles night mode.

100% crops

See how the camera handles macro with flowers

Macro with cigg....

Let's see, how it managed cam whoring... Although it supports smile detector and face recognition, but I just so happen to get a blur shot of my own portrait. So bad. N82 never gives my shutter's lack at all.

ADV
"With N82, you expect picture with no blur, or money back"

Let's take a break for commercial, let fill in the time where I forgot to blog about the last dinner:

Before the day of my flight, me and my buddy got a get together. So we went down to holland village for dinner. We just had no idea what to eat, anyway all the food there is like super ex, so we really have not direction as where exactly to eat, ironically they expect to eat something expensive before I go oversea. I could be my "last dinner".

We randomly choose to try the Japanese BBQ that serve Wagyu Beef


Not more not less.. 4 person..

While waiting for the food. We involves actively in discussing the metal mesh and the "sibei" hot charcoal.

So the 'main attraction' of the whole place, BBQ "WAGYU" beef. I tell you, wagyu beef is more premiere type of beef than you can ever image off. It's more premiere than premiere league. Okie lah, crap..

Wants to find out more on Wagyū (和牛) , click here
What I heard is, the cow is grown confined to area, basically, what they can do is just to move their head to eat grass or move up to 'shion' (daydream). Whole day eat eat eat, then the meat sibei fat and stuff...

What you see (the amount 340g) cost $99 before GST. Different parts are available, I guess we are having parts from the crow's cheek,

We just can't be full with the small amount of wagyu beef right? Ordered another 600g of pork assort. $69, cheaper because no one wants to eat pork now... Joking... because pork is generally cheaper and you don't get wagyu pork, cause they all already sibei oily and fat liao.

I can't describe the feeling, when we are BBQ ing the meat. We just enjoy the succulent juice excreting from the beef, so nice and delicious.

80% done meat, put into mouth. Jitao siong till dunno how to say. Sibei nice. Really. Can't describe sorry. The beef even you overcook also nice. Crispy and still juicy.

The pork also nice, oily but delicious not like outside de pork...

Just the pork, beef and 4 drinks... Cost us $222... Really expensive but you don't regret. Can you found at Holland village. Go try!!!

Okie more C901 reviews

Believe or not.. Its taken in a car that's moving. After viewing at 100%, can't see blurriest.

Bendigo tourist court

BTW I was given the Coliban name tag. Magnetic one. Sibei corpate cause pin will spoilt the coat.
But then the focus not on the name tag lah :)

Now the Cigg there sibei Singapolized... Still put er xin picture.

Somemore bigger than Singapore one.

Conclusion of the C901 is:

THis is not a very official review of the phone itself, but all picture were taken with the phone, so you can judge for yourself. Not bad is not bad lah, but back to back with N82, I not exactly impressed by the cybershot loh.

p/s: Sony Ericsson might going to become "Sony" and "Ericsson" soon. So SE fan, good luck to you.

I miss those time..

Happen to browse through some of the picture taken during my army. Stir up a lot of memories. Those very very happy days spent with all my brothers. Like Jiayi, Junxian, Zhenhao, Qinghe, Ting Feng and basically all the HQ people.

I remember those time we chiong at lighthouse where we meet Karen they all, fell in love, fell out of love togther. Even, fell for the same girls for a very long time. But that also never takes our friendship away, still is the best of brothers. Ya, and chiong ChinaBlack thrice very week, pick up girls and let girls pick us up. Yeah, those are good old days. Nothing to worry, just play and play, trouble come, all brothers chiong. Dawn till the next morning, then attend parade till I drop in parade square.

Joined NDP, go lightstrike course, amour course, driver course and rotted together and stuff. Change camp, move to different camps. ( we really went to a lot a lot of camps loh )
A podium dancer took this for us.

Qing He is MOS

Group photo before going to dbl O

Oversea exercises or oversea trips are all fun with you guys. Indonesia, Australia and Malaysia. Although tough but with you guys around, I wasn't afraid a little bit. Went to 'hooster' in Australia, when to Sentosa 'Sakura' together, waiting for 0245 impatiently. Yeah, those happening days..

Jun Xian waving those ringet and say "Kun Swee Mar Mar"


All waiting impatiently to go Sakura lah

Time flies, 4 years of bond with them had already came to an end, everyone was busy with everyone's work. I really miss those days when we are all together, confinement lah, COS lah and outfield lah.. So miss those days. I really never regret signing on and known you guys loh. And I know most of you (army friends) will not have the time to check out my blog one loh. But nvm, its okie..

Qing He bday.


I dunno why, now it can't do what I like to do, I can't say what I wanna say. Fighting alone in this battlefield, fighting really hard. I may look cheerful and happy go lucky type. But I am hiding something inside. So confined, I felt so restricted. Watching all my actions, making sure not to be a bad influence for other 'type' of peoples around me. Watch my language, speak English. That is totally not me loh. KNN and CCB used to be my punctuation. Must happen once everytime I speak. I really had a hard time tuning back.

Now, I am still in culture shock, like moving from that world to this world. I cannot adept at all. I am already half way through my Poly life already, I never really myself and I am not going to be for the rest of my Ngee Ann life. That's it man. I am going to face this fucking battlefield all by myself liao. All by myself.

My Army flash back

I felt so terrible. I felt so slack. This term break is so not happening for me. Well, when ever did I felt happening? Even since I came poly, life is boring to the max. No more dawning with friends, no more pub rush, no more this and no more that. Where is all the fun went to since I leave Queensfield. I still enjoy army lift with my bubby. Chiong, slack and bua lon lon.

Now, the whole fucking holiday I have been staying home, dun mention the count down thing. It nowhere near. WTH.. 2.5 years left with this kinda life. Well I am not blaming anyone here. Partially is my financial dependence, cos no work and no income. How to go out.

So my pastime is go on the drama marathon. Korean drama kind of sick nowaday. The story goes north south east west and then come back to the north again. Going round and round the brush. It gives me the feeling that the storyline should end at 2nd esp but then it just drag on and on with so much crap till esp 18. The couple will never get together till the last 2 esp. With all the third party... fourth party... fifth party and so on. I feel like smashing the TV with my Rubik's cube.

New year is around the corner, but I can't even feel the festival mood. Maybe let me list out my new year resolution

lasik surgery
good grade
weight loss to desire 65kg
treasure the most important person in my life.
and final strike TOTO!!!

Haha, something to flash back.. I love A21DF.. All the bubby I have known through those 4 years. All the memories..
