Went to seletar camp early in the morning (reach there at 530am) for the Timor Barat Run.. i completed my first ever 10km run... yay... hehe.. but dun ask about my timing... coz i am very slow.. haha.. din train for it oso... nvm.. i juz wanna complete the race... speed doesnt matter to me.. this run is kinda difficult one.. coz there were slopes... pebbles pathway.. sandy path... hard to run..
Saw this nice quote when i am about to complete the race... "Success doesnt come to you... you have to go for it..."
After the run, went to Sushi Kikuzawa @ International building for buffet lunch.. Its a sushi bar which has limited seats... the max is 13 only.. so if u wanna go there for lunch or dinner... rmb to make reservation b4 gg.. otherwise u might be dissapointed...
It is a buffet. But you'll be freshly served directly placed in front of you. Hence, I can relax and enjoy the nice sushi without hurry. The chef will decide what to serve you. The customers have to believe in his choice coz in Jap's culture.. the chef will know what is freshest and will serve you what is best. We were served many types of sushi (unlimted)... but we could only have one serving of sashimi per pax.. its alright for me coz i dun haf cravings for sashimi... but it was kinda dissapointed for my friends.. they only have pudding for desserts.. and its quite dissapointing... The chef will automatically stop serving you once he thinks you are about done..
The setting is quite unique in the sense... nice ambience.. very quiet... if u are those authentic jap food lover.. den u will love this place.. as for me.. i dun really fancy Jap food... din know how to eat alot of stuff.. and i think i was stuffed wif alot of rice!!! so i think its so so only.. but good experience though (where the chef could call his shot)... its around 36 bucks per pax (including GST) for weekday lunch...
I would prefer Ikoi restaurant @ Mirama hotel... went wif david, zj and jan nee few weeks ago... the jap restaurant can only few roughly 40 pax? pretty small... and its always crowded.. so its abit noisy.. the space between 2 tables is very small coz they wanna fully utilize their space... quite cramp i would say..
Food over here is not too bad.. Spread is good (if u are a jap lover)... portion wise is juz nice... they have sashimi of coz (which my sashimi- lovers- friends said its very fresh.. grilled food...jap curry.. tempura etc etc.... their tempura, chicken wings, fried mushroom were great! but after a few rounds... they will take dinosaur yrs to serve u... long interval.. and hard to get the crew's attention.. I was also impressed with the fact that the restaurant had several complementary items which they popped onto our table from time to time... like the apetitizer raw salmon... a miso-like tasting drink in a teapot... stick salad... kaminabe (sounds like scolding vulgarity ya.. haha).. its a vegetable-tofu soupy item in hot aluminium foil (paper steamboat).... its around 40 bucks after GST... for weekday dinner...

Trip to Tekong
Few days ago.. Yong was enlisted.. planned to follow him to Tekong to see thru the whole enlistment process.. last min sth cropped up.. i went few days okie.. together wif hanyong and yu soon..
Upon reaching the SAF ferry terminal.. we changed our pass and board the ferry to Tekong.. It seriously dun look like a training ground.. but a holiday resort.. (aloha or bintan.. tts how nice it was)...
The enlistees were separated from their parents upon reaching Tekong.. parents will board onto a coach to view the bunks, training grounds that their sons would be staying or having their training.. the equipments that their sons would be carrying would be shown to them..
First.. the bunks were clean and spacious.. each with a bed and a cabinet.. (so unlike of how i imagine it to be.. oops.. haha) they also have a restroom where there were tvs, pool table, table tennis table etc..
The recruits will go for a short briefing and watch a short video of ns life..
After which they (the parents and the recruits) will go into the auditorium.. the CO will brief them of the company which they will be in etc.. followed by faq.. pledge taking etc etc.. From one the parents, "my son is sitting over der.. his name is XXX.. i wan to tell him and all the recruits.. that u haf got to go for it.. u can do it!!" tts the kind of spirit.. the positive and supporting parents who themself have been true NS.. know tt its a place where boys became men.. wahaha..
Next, we tried the cookhouse food.. its my very first time trying cookhse food.. shall not deny tt the food is nice!! there were fried rice, mee goreng, brocoli, saugage and chicken wings.. coz i came wif a major.. so we were served (no nid self service).. soya bean drink.. and ice cream.. actually there are still fruits and deserts (da mai) but i am too full le.. so din try.. see.. the spread is good ya.. but but i understand.. i cant judge it tt way.. these might be specially prepared for the parents.. so logically it shldnt be tt bad.. i always heard of 2 sides of the stories.. some say cookhse food sucks.. some says its good.. i shall see... haha

G MAx ultimate Xtreme Swing
After our NE tour.. we planned to go to the central's Waraku for dinner... while waiting for zhengjue, jan nee and andrew.. i did sth crazy!! haha
was on alvin's car when he was suggesting to go for the bungee jump.. darren suggested to play pool while terrence wanted to go for a drink at the pub... when reaching clarke quay.. alvin was crazy lah.. we were sitting there chatting den he suddenly came back wif terence saying.. "i bought 5 tix for the bungee jump, lets go".. so dacia and myself was like... "ya right, dun bluff".. he immediately showed us the tickets... 200 bucks for 5 tix.. omg... thats where i start to panick.. i am so not prepared lor.. and i rmb watching pple "playing" the bungee jump wif cousins.. there were 2 types... one is the ultimate bungee (bouncing up down kind).. while another one was a swing (where you were brought up to great heights den being flinged down).. we all agreed that the swing one was more scary!!! and now i cant imagine i am gg for it.. like in the next 5 mins... and all the 4 of them are miltary lor.. tried air borne kind of activities de lor... gosh...
The going up process was damn scary lah.. we were seated facing the Singapore River.. can u imagine there is no support.. nothing to hold at all.. juz a seat belt around(or supporting) me.. that feeling is super duper scary okie.. coz we were tilted at the angle where all the weight is on the seatbelt (that is we were facing down the open space.. the gravitational pull and all... argh)... as we were bought to super great heights (13th storeys lor).. i started to regret.. dacia was like shouting.. "oh no i think the seat belt cant support me".. and i was like "help.. i wanna go down".. and alvin was the best.. he said "eventually, we all will be gg down".. wahaha (now i can laugh about it... but at pt in time i was like ya thanks ar.. - wif my legs dangling in the air.. body facing down.. hands grabbed so tightly to be seat coz i feel like i am falling down... the always so tall trees became so tidy.. the buildings were so small too... heart was pounding so rapidly).. my eyes were closed liao.. dun dare to open my eyes... den darren was asking alvin.. how u know when u gotta push the lever? alvin said.. when u see the green light.. u see its now yellow.. can see or not kind (i suppose he was pointing to darren.. my eyes still shut)... den we heard the sound... the ever-most scary sound.. signifying we reached the top!!!
Alvin was like.. everybody are u prepared.. at the count of 3.. i will push the lever down and off we will go flying down... i was in the dilenma den.. on the one hand i was like quick juz press it down lah.. get over and done wif... on the other hand.. i was like... oh no if he let goes.. we will be flinged down.. from such great heights.. oh no!!!
The another-ever-most-scary sound came.. when he push down the lever and off we go... flinged down 13th storeys!! hair flying all over.. legs dangling in the air.. hands trying so hard to grab onto my seat but quite useless (that was juz to make me "secure" tts why i dun dare to hold onto terence and alvin's hand.. coz it will be so insecure... i need to hold onto sth hard).. Ahhhh... after reaching the bottom.. it swinged high up again den down.. its after the second swing den i dare to open my eyes.. oh i SURVIVED!! i "conquered" it... wahaha... i am so brave.. i din scream at all ok.. haha... terence was shouting vulgarities while gg down.. dacia was screaming (which calmed me down abit like 0.0000001%.. i dunno why)
The after effect was.. stomach churning.. argh... the free fall and adrenaline rush was definitely thrilling and exciting (not forgetting the terrifying part!!)... Great experience!! well done gwen... hehe... but damn ex lah.. 40 bucks for juz like 5-6 mins..
den we proceed to waraku for dinner.. i was so hungry.. was so busy b4 the NE tour tt i din haf time for lunch... but after the ride.. my stomach was churning badly.. although hungry but i dun haf appetite to eat.. was better after awhile of chats.. haha...

Good deeds beget good consequences
Does anyone believes in the law of Karma? good deeds beget good consequences?
Yay.. i do believe.. I met a honest and nice cabbie driver who returns me my cam when i carelessly left it on his cab few days ago... izzit 好心有好报?
I was so shocked when i heard this... A maid's basket of marketing goods got stolen while she was queuing for her soya bean... as in she left her "trolley" of vegs at the side while she buys the soya bean.. the trolley was "robbed".. *fainted*
Omg.. I was wondering if the current economy crisis is that bad that pple has to steal vegs for survival??? Or the root cause is coz Singapore is now a place full of migrants? mix identities cum an identity crisis etc? its saddening to see a ctry "degrade" to this.. I always heard this... in the past.. Probably the 60s and 70s.. where pple stay in their kampongs.. they can just leave their doors wide open.. and nothing will happen..
Anw.. why did i divert? haha.. the maid was so poor thing.. she was crying and was so scare that her employer will give her a thrashing...
Anw.. back to my topic.. i am glad that in such times.. i manage to retrieve my cam ya.. haha
