Brianc '的' place

brianc culture states: Do not accept the roles that society foists on you. Re-create yourself by forging a new identity, one that commands attention and never bores the audience. Be the master of your own image rather than letting others define it for you. Incorporate dramatic devices into your public gestures & actions - your power will be enhanced & your character will seem larger than life.

Back to Camp...


Dead Sian~ How I wish time passby faster........

Dinner was at MAYIM


Oh the convo night, I brought them to MAYIM, one pretty nice chinese crusine restaurant at Westmall shopping center. The night was great, well although mom cannot be there...... because she flied off to her KTV session along with her khakis at some live performing band place. Happening mom yeah?

Really looking forward these two days, there'll great feasts lasting me throughout!!! Saturday will be double treats, one buffet at noon & another on at the chinese restaurant at night~ It's definately something I hope for after the few days back suffering from the opt.

Well well, Life's full of UPs and DOWNs.... Maybe it's kind of bad now, but will eventually be good soon. Never take things for granted, enjoy life & stay happy is the best thing for me now!

I'll post some of the breautiful picture of my youngest cousin, hmmm, just few months old one........ Alamak, I'm almost 25 yrs older than them........

Post-Convocation hours~

I'm so beat after the long day... It was a happy day for me but just the moment when I was leaving the celebration hall, I gently took a minute of silence to reflect the past hours during my days in the university. Well to be frank, I kind of miss schooling days now...

I promise to update the day photos in near to date, today darn tired~

CONVOCATION IN LESS THAN 24HRS TIME


When I was a little boy, never will I imagine that one day I'll be wearing a univerity graduate outfit and standing on the stage... I finally did it!

Does it really matters, such fate~

Despite the early turn in the night before, I'm still feeling like a dead log on the bed itself. The long hours of sleep many times doesn't justify for a good night sleep. I was awaken by my handphone, the call was from my military camp. Ain't surprise they do call to check on me again for I'm taking a long medical leave from an operation, it just bother me that they always called me at the wrong time, the time I'm sleeping & resting from medication...

Geez, have it occured to you at any point of time you feel like you doesn't actually belong to where you are suppose to be in? Well I do! These couples of months stuck back in the military really put the pressure on me. Friends of my age are already securing a well stable job, some lucky ones can even afford a car or even have the opportunities to travel around the world sent by their companies. While ME, captured by the inflexible fate that homeland males have to serve the national for a fix period of their life really stresses me alot, and I mean ALOT! Especially for a competitive personality I have, seeing so many successful peers each and one of them making a mark in their careers are really a sore in the eyes, and I can't denied that I'm so jealous and helpless but to face the fact of being a MALE citizen.

I'm dealing with the issues of so many things on hand; the paying off loans used to put me through university, the savings needed to start a family, the chances of finding a job after peak seasons, my aging parents health & many other more.... The last thing I pray for is not to make my life difficult in the military.

I pray HARD.............

Give, Give Give...... & somemore I give

I'm never deem to be a perfect man nor I believe any man in this world is perfect. When in a relationship, it's even more difficult to achieve perfect because there's never once fair play in it. One often cannot say I'm giving my 97.5% of love today so tomorrow you have to return the same amount to me. So in many times, we give and take, and because we accomodate to each other needs and recognize their interests and their stance, relationship then last for long long time.....

I'm always a accomodating person when it comes to relationship, I give more and perhaps it might seems like I'm always the 'playing good' guy, I also really and sheldom denied that I do need to take too. Giving too much made me realize that I slowly lose the ability to stand up for my stance or point of view. And slowly I felt like nobody infront of the mass with my voice only heard when I agree to someone else's idea.....

Nobody ever once wonder why I'm doing this or why I'm doing that. And because of my accomodating personality, sheldom will people actually pay attention nor stand in my shoes to realize me. I do not say people ain't giving me the respect yet I find it hard to share my passion with the rest, especially my loved ones!

My friends find it hard wondering why I'm asking them to join the marathon run, and I even have people coming up telling me they should be paid to run for the marathon(dud, which is suppose to be charity), I spend hard time approaching and asking them yet no one once appreciate. I always offer a listening ear to those in needs or accompany those who need me, yet no one is there when I need one... Busy might be, Not interested might be, Dunno how to might be.................

I'm doing things I like, no one ever ask about it..... When they asked, people look at me strangly wondering why I'm so into it.... Appreciation nahhhh~ Just know who am I please for I'm the one always accomodating to you.

Food Festival, but no foods fit~

The wound is pretty much settle down with its pain, well provided there's no much action-man behaviour to be for the next two months for the wound to be completely heal. Being always a outdoor person, this time keeping me under my house roof for the past few days was really a tough task for me to handle.

Haha, seems like the weather is fine and together with the butt feeling much more smoother each day... Let's hit the outdoors~ Well, ain't that really a outdoor event because all I did was to visit the shopping mall next across the road. And the only outdoor portion was being crossing the road itself.

Food Festival, and so many people was flocking around the mall grounds. Everyone was like hunger freaks who havn't eaten for the past few months like that!!! It's so clampy & people were found again rubbing my butt each time they passed me~ Dubb, pain retrieved!

Geeez~ But I did enjoyed the breeze walk in the mall just now.... Say, it definately makes a sick man feels much more comfortable.... So to anyone out there sick yet can afford to make a walk down outdoors, it definately worth it!

The Stupidest Thing I Heard~

Peasant 1: Arrrh!!! The enemy is attacking us on the island...

Peasant 2: OMG, lets inform the Army and unite all forces to defend!

Peasants: Hey ENEMIES!!!!!

Land soldiers: We're all set to defend motherland~

Sea soldiers: We're fit to fight~

Air soldiers: We loved to FIGHT, but it just happen to be our Air commander's birthday today...

Everyone except the Air soldiers: HUHhhhhhh???

Air soldiers: Yup that's right, its my chief's birthday so we'll wouldn't be fighting as celebration on WAY~



STUPID..........................



(Picture from BBC SPORT)

This morning was supposed to be another usual saturday of my life, and the first thing waking up was to refresh the webpage on my laptop to see the latest updates on TDF. While browsing through the pages, I accidentally spotted a bold sentence saying "Ullrich FIRED from T-MOBILE".

ARGHHHHHH~

Although its a expected decision from the start eversince I knew he's suspended from TDF'06 earlier on, I didn't expect the final outcome to be this fast released. Gone was his carrer and what more can make this time round TDF more boring. Armstrong's happy retirement and focusing on the marathon, Basso's absence too and Ullrich ganna FIRED big-time in the ass!!!

All left was some errr Landis (I always find his face abit cheeky~ Dunno Y too???)... Oscar Pereiro, the one still happily in yellow, HEY I'm starting to love Pinarello bikes!!! -----> Landis on the RIGHT, hehe cheeky looking yeah?

Seems like I do really enjoy the time at home! Especially it fits into the TDF period, anyway its also a fine time to get organize those "finding a jobby" stuffs and be more proactive in actually start looking for my potential employer than lazing around in camp~

Next week blogging will bring you'll to more ON my 'CONVOCATION' yeeepee graduation on the way~

.....& my sisters were so OUT to spike ME


My sisters were having fried mee goreng, spicy chicken wings, and a good looking bowl of thai-style tomyam soup. Passing by the dining table, I watched with great temptation yet suddenly, a flash back showing just what my previous diet was. Well, simply a diet that ended me up on a operating table at the hospital.

I had been always having spicy, fried food for almost all my meals, and never fogetting adding alot of chilli into it. The food did once taste nice but it was damaging my entire health! My intestines just couldn't take it anymore and made me ganna fistula~

It's always when something bad hits you, one then realize how important health can be! I'm ain't touching a single drop of chilli sauce nor fried stuffs for about a week now and despite the pain still persitantly occuring at the bottom, everything else seems just more fine.... Hahaha, especially when I visit the toilet.

Having proper healthy meals for everyday IS IMPORTANT! (maybe a meal a day with some un-healthy ones is okie)

星期三, 7月 19, 2006

Fruits from Lt Chong & Chief... How nice!!!

There're apples, oranges, lychee, grapes & longans... Some of the fruits that people from my RSAF camp brought for me while they dropped by my house. Really touched because they're the only good souls that visited me so far~

Ermm, some fruits are heaty but yet I'm still very touched! Thanks lots!

Home Alone

Today waking up and indeed the pain was much more relieved than the past 2 days.....

Nobody's at home. And flipping and flopping through my kitchen, there nothing left except packs of instants noodles. Hmmm, putting away the spicy ones & I'm left only with some instant dry noodles (I'm ain't putting the chilli in). Nevertheless, a cup of warm milo makes the menu perfect~


After these 3 days of torment, the other difficult thing I got to get used to beside sitting in a awakard position, which helps relieve butt pain..... I still have to learn accepting the speed I move around. Hmmm, with less than 10 steps per minutes, I'm truly making great progress than the 1st day.... Keep it up dude!

星期二, 7月 18, 2006

My 1st Opt, PAIN like never~

"Mr Chong, can I checked with you your IC number & the operations you're having now?"

"Errrr, my IC is S81262............"

"Heelooo Mr Chong, the oepration is finished. How're you feeling?"



Woah, I thought just a moment ago I was reading out my IC number and the next moment I felt like awaking from nowhere. I was laying flat on a moving bed, feeling be moved around and the couples of doors opening and closing as I moved. Darn, my eyes are so heavy but still manage to felt the people around me. I PASSED OUT......

"oui boy, how you feeling?" my mom spoke with a gentle voice & somehow it just managed to call me awake. I looked left & I looked right,
my hands are all tab~ Ouch!!! I can now felt the PAIN in the butt.....

I was hungry and the nice nurse brought me some milo & biscuits... Was't feeling much like munching the hard biscuits, I gave almost half to mom.

When it was time to leave the NUH, I was completely shock by the PAIN in the wound!!! Such pain that render you from walking... And while almost reaching the taxi stand, SUDDEN black-out.... I struggled to the sofa next to me and regain my sights.... My mom so freek out! And no problem, I survived!
As all been wondering how this blog is entered? Laying on my bed flat with butt facing the sky and then type!

Oh butt, get well soon ;p

星期日, 7月 16, 2006

Once I can sit....

Going be a few days missing in actions... Once I can sit down, the blog entry will resume...

Oh dear, a few more hours left...

星期四, 7月 13, 2006

UNEASINESS.... UNCOMFORTABLE....


(sorry if these disturb anyone, but this is a good place to vent off......)

Errr~ anybody please? I'm here...

Maybe it's a time I wished that my loved ones will be more forgiving and just shower alittle more care & concerns over me... Am I overly behaving baby-like or perhaps a physically grown weak man yet still mumbling away wanting people to pay more attention to ME?

It's merely a few more days to the operation at NUH, and the creepy ok ok~ the scaring feelings tends to slowly have its effects on ME... With my mom looking more tired and wear-out than I do, its kind of terrible to ask her look after me even when I'm done with the opt! My gf wouldn't be there the whole period when I'm being opt-ed but sincerely appreciate the effort and understands she has something on later in the noon~ My dad, ermmm still wondering if he will be there to pick ME up from the hospital? My sisters, gods knows!!!

Maybe its this intense moment that makes myself being more unreasonable or perhaps more sensitive to many issues... Although the opt is just a MINOR one, I still hope till the moment I opened my eyes, there'll be someone there for ME~

And all these intense sensitive wild feelings certainly MAKEs me feel uncomfortable...

Of Price, Of Quality... How true is it?

Seeing anyone riding a TREK madone bike on the road and looking ain't nothing like any of the professional cyclists you have known, it's probably mean that he / she is a super rich person or it's just a super fanatic fellow that save up like a load and spend it with a blink... For anyone riding a TREKy, it's almost difficult to find him / her ain't any of the die hard fan of "The Discovery Team". Hmmm, perhaps the least they know who is Mr Lance Armstrong ~

With any of the Madone series set up costing nothing less than S$8000, it makes it one truly "GOD" bike travelling on any roads, streets, lanes, alleys, or even the sewage drains in Singapore. Looking at the fantastic price tag, I left with all the possible thoughs running freely in my mind on HOW TO EVEN OWN ONE of them! Dreaming on the bus myself, it cam to me that it's even hard to spend even there's enough cash in my bank account... Imagine with all those hard earn cash pouring into one bike? And if anyone even will to cough beside you on the bike, KILL THEM!!!!

Ok, abit over the board.... Coming down from the bus, I hurried to the lottery station and brought a decent $2 lottery ticket. Praying praying hard hard it will make all my dreams come true (dreams with a price tags only of cos).

Just S$14,000 to own a TREK Madone SSL... Just roughly S9500 to own a SPECIALIZED SL... Just roughly $9000 to own a GIANT TCR ADVANCED...

I promise to do some good to the society if you let me just have the BIKE!!!

Else in meantime, it's good to play down to earth man.... Look for a job first and see how life turns out to be then

I spent S$16.50 for this MAGAZINE...











CYCLE SPORT, One of the consolitational options I took to ease my temp for the TDF.

Feeling pity for myself in the end I've still forgo signing up the cable plan to watch TDF, much due to the fact I have to save my money for better use, or perhaps the rainy days. I've been catching up on the online free highlights broadcast for every stages, well, although it's just kind of a short mini-clips. And I meant really short~ mini~ clip~

Tomorrow I'm going to tilt this mag with a nice cool plastic cover at my camp... Free again don't worry about spending the extra cash... All it needs is a nice gentle effort to protect the pages... IT COST 16.50 loh from Kinokuniya, straight publish from UK so it takes a plane here one... Don't play play cos I don't even have the chance to fly in a plane from UK yet!

I got a strong feeling yet hard to accept that I'm tuning into a roadie soon, ermmm meaning I used to ride trails, just now preferring more to the road rides! Geezz~ How I wish to own a cool road bike soon & all this depends on the chances I got my dream jobby....

星期六, 7月 08, 2006

alamak~ really no one for e RUN???

I woke up 5pm, hehehe really had a wonderful nap today! The tv shows were pretty suckening, maybe they don't kind of expect people staying at home over the weekend watching tv, so it's all flooded with oldies films~

After switching on the laptop, no one seems to reply me on the REALRUN~


Arrhhh~~~ So difficult to find a friend that jogs!!! It's on the 20th Aug, just a day before my birthday... Guess if no one join, I will have to make new friends (jogging typo) during my run, hahaha~ And it will truly marks a great 25 years old living on this WORLD, the BRIANC WORLD..........

Just decided to rest at home today.

The ride previous night really put the toll on me, and the legs are really numb-ly till this morning. The sun is shining bright & hot and gentle winds are blowing into my windows, time to time I can still hear the sounds of the flying birds and the children playing below my block... Today is a good day to sit back & let my world pass by quietly.

I took a look at the clock, 2.30pm...

Feeling sleepy, no matter how much I slept it just seems ain't enough. Maybe I should take some more nap... hehehe~

Emmm, Yaaawwwn... Please make the time holds, & off I'm to a great nap......

....The best actor for WC 2006 Oscar goeS to~

I was never truly a soccer fan, well although it's kind of a national must-get-to-know type of sport here in my homeland. But this year WC actually did managed to hook me up to them. Well mainly due to the fact the newspapers' articles were filled with all the excitments regarding those players' lavish lifestyles, pretty girlfriends and handsome macho hulks.... Sooo, I decided to pick up the recent semi- matches to see it for myself....

Geex, the first thing in mind was to cultivate the determination waking up 3am in the morning while working the next day at 8am! Finding the remote was so difficult in the morning as similar to behaving like a 10 months old baby crawling on the floor to the living room...

"It kicks offff~"

I was laying at the couch seeing almost to more than 20 people kicking the ball here and there, ok sounded bored and yes it was, because for me! Scoring is the only moment I enjoyed while rest are pretty much aimless for me~ "pee pee" my handphone message went off.... It's my girlfriend, she had sms me to just ask whether I saw the handsome who or who doing that spectacular acts! Oh goosh, now thats a different group of people I wished to bring out for this era WC. Despite young or old women, they drool over those handsome players, well rather than football game itself......... hahahaha~

Just before I stretched my finger over the long remote control to press the POWER button, someone fell down and everyone gathered around....... An accident? An injury? Well let's see the replay~ Errrh nothing wrong le??? So whats the ~~~

Then I started realizing that all those big tall well-builded hulks were like feathers! Even with the slightest tag can make them do a triple toss flip bend over growling type of act~ OH GEEEZZ, so drama!

Then a friend of mine told me it's a normal thing in WC or any other big soccer events, players tend to just play drop dead easily.... well, for me just hoping to get a free kick or sending someone off i supposed....

Then I noticed more~ Shoot at your might outside the penalty box, while try all means to play dead or do the TRIPLE TOSS FLIP TURN TWIST act to get a penalty kick and even better it was to send the player off with a "ANG BAO"......

Sounded crazy, so beside ball skill and fittness......... I see all players attended drama school before or perhaps they watched too many of the WWC......


Nevertheless, I'm still going to catch the exciting finale between Italy vs. France~

A stronger identity & Sayonara TDF 2006~~

DARN IT!

Just for a stronger identity of being a Singapore NS man, I got to fork out my personal allowances to put on the extra name tags & the national name tags... (Sorry, I'm not complaining that it looks ugly nor been against the idea BUT just ain't happy to fork out the money and seeing the sewing aunties happy looking FACES) It really doesn't looks any different, but *heng* we are not require to sew the nation name on our sleeves or there is going to be more jobs, removing and putting on the ranks again~

Off to beach road liaooooooooooooooo




Oh shit, Starhub coverage on the TDF is really sucky. Think nothing compare to being there over in France looking at the LIVE event!!! World Cup seems to dampen and shifted the attentions away from TDF, with everyone sleeping now just to catch the tonight Germany against Italy~ And so far wonder is me myself always miss the news broadcast on the TDF or they are just too focus on WC??? huh??? my local channels~~~
