Eventful...

This week is a rather slack week as i spent most of the time out of camp. No, not that i get to book out but rather my time is spent at other camps. I rested at home on Monday, had SOC on tuesday after which was a test on the tactical handling of M16. Wednesday had some PT in the morning but the afternoon was spent on some other stuff which literally means slacking. Thursday and Friday was spent at Pasir Laba Camp, home to SISPEC(School of Infantry SPECialists) for range. Than due to elections, everyone got to book out on friday night. However, this don't look good. If this week is rather slack, it means that next week will be rather tough...

Anyway, spent today over at Orchard. Nothing much changed, save for some shops. Whole day was spent on window shopping. Wanted to catch Mission Impossible III but due to some reasons didn't managed to catch it. Nevermind, shall catch it next weekend. The highlight of the trip was dinner at a turkish restaurant. The food is rather nice, especially the meat that was cooked turkish-style. Will visit it again if i pass by Far East Plaza. =)

Oh, on the way home i was surprised to see Dean from Campus Superstar in the same cabin of the MRT train as me. She remain unchanged from her competition days, still the same hairstyle and still wearing pants. She was with 3 of her friends and they were busy snapping themselves away with their cameras throughout the whole journey. I forgot where she got on the train but she got off at the same station as me. I was too engrossed with my comic book until the flashlight from their cameras attract me. At first i didn't take particular notice until i heard people around me whispering "Dean". When i look up, i was really surprised to see Dean in the flesh and not in any picture. But sadly, i wasn't a supporter of Campus Superstar so yah, i didn't rush over to get her autograph or took any picture with her. Haha.

(Note: The following paragraph may be offensive to Dean's fans and it is strictly my personal views. No harm is intended to anyone who is directly or indirectly involved in the following paragraph.)

I finally understand why the whole world label Dean as a tomboy. The way she dress, her hairstyle and the way she conduct herself is simply typical of a tomboy. But it is okay to me as tomboys are not a uncommon scene. Throughout your life, you definitely will have friends who are tomboys or sissy. But what shocks me is that Dean is not only a tomboy, she is also a... lesbian. She HAS a GIRLFRIEND. Throughout the whole journey, she was very intimate with her girlfriend and hugs are very common. Their actions are typical of any heterosexual couple you would see on the streets but this is the first time i saw the actions coming from a truely lesbian couple and one of them is a public figure. But than again, her sexual orientation don't bother me. Haha. Celebrities are also human and they have their own private life, their personal perferences and choices. Moreover, her girlfriend is quite pretty too. =)

On a side note, she is the third celebrity that i see off-screen doing things we normal people do. First is Derrick Ho who hangs out at zouk with friends, second is Felicia Chin spending her little rest time at Starbucks reading and third is Dean who also hangs out with her girlfriend plus her other friends.

Oh, while typing this post, the TV was broadcasting the results of the General Elections 2006. As usual, PAP won, although the margin is smaller this time. Everything remain the same, with Hougang and Potong Pasir still in the hands of the opposition. 84 seats, 82 PAP, 1 WP, 1 SDA. Not surprised though but glad to see that the opposition is gaining more votes. Hope to see some more opposition members in the Parliament after the next General Elections. I personally felt quite sad for Steve Chia who is contesting in Choa Chu Kang. Can see that he is really working hard and putting in his utmost effort but sadly, CCK voters still prefer someone who come from a party they can entrust their future on. Oh well, when the nation's and oneself's future is at stake, who dare to make risks?
