so, how did everyone spend their national day? no doubt, many would have been watching the ndp either at home or live, for one last time, at the national stadium. well, i missed it, pity.

really, this is one of those years when i actually looked forward to catching the ndp show on tv, when in previous years i found it boring and lame..this year i really wanted to watch, but in the end, i couldn't..coz i was in town catching a movie with yp. clash of timings, by the time i got home, the show was all but over.

so why did i want to watch the ndp show this year? nt becoz of the parade and dance and singing and other stuff..coz ttz all pretty boring to me. i wanted to watch red lions freefall into the stadium..becoz, this is the one year in so many when i actually won't be juz oohing and aahing over the daring feats of the jumpers and instead be able to recognize some of them as my airborne trainers or the ones who pushed me out of the plane or chopper..haha.

yeah really, ttz my main motive in wanting to watch the ndp. but well, pity tt i missed it, coz i heard it was quite a show. mayb i can try to find clips of it on youtube or some other online video hosting service. hopefully. provided i actually have the time to do so, wad with all my weekends being burned; lasting only less than 24 hrs since i only book out on saturday afternn and book in again on sunday morning to serve my extras. but i guess i have only myself to blame for getting into a fight over area cleaning of all things. hah.

anyway, the night before national day, i only booked out at 10pm coz of some stupid happy hr tt the mgmt planned for us. much unappreciated and redundant in my point of view, thank you very much. we practically spent the whole day in bunk after the morning local parade, doing nothing but juz waiting for the fucking happy hr to start at 6pm. supposed to get our selves pissed drunk and happy like fuck during the event coz the officers and instructors thoughtfully got 3 cartons of beer and some finger food for us. but i din coz i only managed to get my hands on one miserable can of beer; the rest of which were gone by the time i went back for seconds. wtf.. according to the det cmdr, the happy hr was carefully planned out by all the instructors and officers to ensure we have a really good time bonding as a company and stuff like tt. happy hr my arse. i'm quite sure most, if not all of us would have been much happier if they had let us off after lunch instead.

nuff said abt tt..the movie i watched on national day happened to be dragon tiger gate, starring nicholas tse, shawn yue and of course, donnie yen. who looks too god damned old to be a 20 sth young punk like he's supposed to be in the movie. tt aside tho, it was quite an enjoyable show in spite of the crappy story and wooden acting by the star; much compensated by the superb fighting action, esp donnie yen's..which is really the main selling pt of the movie. even pretty boy nicholas tse looked pretty good with his kicks and all, like he really does noe kung fu in real life. haha. and well, as i reflected to frens who asked me abt the show..its juz a show where u pay to watch them fight and nothing else..much like ong bak and tom yam goong starring tony ja. so if u enjoyed both of these earlier action films, den no reason tt u won't enjoy dragon tiger gate. i did. in fact, i feel like getting the dvd when it comes out juz to watch them fight again. after all, i love any action film with donnie yen in it.

well, ttz all for now. wont be back next weekend coz the whole company's gg to tekong for field camp. but i guess i wont be missed la. hah.
