Well, seems like 2003 has come and gone pretty quick doesnt it? Time for me to do some commentary...haha! Well, did u realise tt as a kid the years seem to go by slow, whilst as you grow older minutes and hours pass you by so fast, faster than you could say "Damn!"
2003 has been...an okay year for me, partly 'cos I'm in Army this year lar...beginning it was 'xiong', 'cos of the civilian>>army transition period @ Taurus Coy Platoon 2 @ BMTC Sch 2. I've fond memories of the day over there, partly due to the punishments and Xtras we did ('cos T Coy is normally Xtra in training lol).
After tt I proceeded to Delta Wing @ OCS...huge change in environment lol. All my wing mates were all so damn smart, cos Delta is a scholar-wing! HAiz...I could still never understand how I landed in there till now. I'm not a scholar anyway...
Nonetheless, Delta was fun. A lotta friendships were forged, bonds made and I liked it there, 'cept for some ppl which I refuse to mention names...Partially 'cos I do not wish to make any more judgments on them...for now...I shall be happy ^_^
Too bad, time for me to leave Delta was @ hand @ the end of ST II, when we all seperated on to the different units. I din like infantry, and preferred armour and signals. However, it was not to be, and I landed up in SOL under Logistics...given the job of ATO! What was ATO? I wondered initially...'Cos it was unheard of, and many instructors in OCS din even have a sniff of that b4.
In SOL, going thru the BLOC and ASOCC periods I got to realise the type of friends I'm having. Because the cadets awere from 2 different batches, 1 from Charlie-Hotel and the other (smaller) from Delta-Foxtrot-Sierra-Tango, I felt that the CH group was more rowdy and challenging to higher command...which I din quite like. I found the entire course ppl being more slack...more...un-army like. Am I part of them? Yes...but, I think I'm different. I prefer to be more combatant like. My thinkings and views are often from the combat perspective. Therefore, I often feel that I'm more suited to dealing with combat unit than a technical unit.
Well, other than from Army, got time to catch up with my Pri school frens as well as those from NPCC...though someone has to organise them both lol...
Girlfriends? Nay...Dun have..although having close friends to listen to me are great...'cos I can really say out what I feel, and they can advise me. So thanks to Euphie (esp!), Marcus (great dude!), Pamela, Jeslyn, Aloysius and Alvin Kan...for all the times you ppl have been there for me.. ^_^
Wishes for next year? Should I say them here? Well, got some, but I guess I better not state them here...wont be so much of a wish then haha...
So...let's welcome 2004 with open arms...and bid farewell, to a memorable and unforgetable 2003!
Gotta do my essay now.....bbl... ^^"

So out we went to play...and my team won 9-4 overall...Some of e goals really tyco! ^_^" My team was okay lar...defence still not bad, plus got good strikers to keep load off the defence's backs. And guess I played pretty well too, managed to keep the person I was marking outta the way, 'cept for the penalty due to handball (it wasnt intentional! -.-!)...yep...pretty well, plus the ground being slippery and soggy didnt help much, finished the close to 2 hr match with soggy socks and muddy legs and shoes, coupled with tired legs and dirty elbows...Cool man!

Juz returned home from watching Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King (LOTR:ROTK) today @ GV Bishan with Weiwen and Zhenming for the 1900 hr slot. Before tt, went for dinner @ Pastamania, then down to Ah Kun's Kaya Toast to get some quick bites for e show. Din get much drinks in, got my waterbag shld be enuf liaoz...200 mins show!!!
Overall, the cinema was not fully packed, and being e sneak preview, it was great to catch e movie before most ppl did...tt'z tml lol...but still later than those who were in e preview...like Marcus..lol.
Okie, so LOTR:ROTK is e final episode to the LOTR trilogy...And for starters, they give u 2 wars for the price of one! w00t! LOTR:ROTK tells us about Frodo's and Sam's quest into the dark land of Mordor to destroy the One Ring and put an end to Sauron's reign of evil. Leading them is Gollum/Smeagol who intends to lead them into a trap in the form of Shelob to kill both of them, and thereby getting e ring...his precious...
Of course, there's the concurrent activity happening over in the land of Gondor, where Sauron's forces, led by the witchdoctor, have destroyed and pushed Faramir's forces out of Osgiliath on the river bank, and are pushing their full forces towards Minas Tirith..the stronghold of Gondor. Denethor, being saddened by the death of Boromir, wanted Faramir to retake Osgiliath again, but it failed terribly and all but Faramir were killed.
At this time, Gandalf sent Pippin to light the beacon atop Minas Tirith, and one by one the beacon hills were lit. Aragorn, based in Rohan together with Legolas and Gimli. Upon seeing the beacon hill, which signalled that Gondor is in trouble, he rushed to King Theoden to tell him about it, and soon, word was sent out to gather all forces of Rohan which could be gathered to ride forth to the aid of Gondor...6000 strong in all.
Meanwhile, the siege of Minas Tirith had begun. Pippin and Gandalf were both there trying to stop the assault. Denethor, growing crazier by the minute, intended to burn himself and the unconscious Faramir alive in the Hall of The Kings, but was to be thwarted by Gandalf and Pippin. Gandalf tried valiantly to withhold the assault by the orcs, trolls and Nazguls.
At the camp situated near the entrance to the Haunted Mountains, Élrond presented to Aragorn the sword Andúril, which was reforged. He also told Aragorn that Arwen had stayed back, but growing weaker by the day due to the evil of Sauron. "The days are short. If thou art in haste, remember the Paths of the Dead."
Aragorn thought and decided to go into the Paths of the Dead alone, but both Gimli and Legolas decided to go along with him...and it was the eve before the battle. However, Theoden still led his army to Gondor's aid like the wind, and reached there in time. Meanwhile, Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas rode through the Haunted Mountain. The horses were all scared and they soon reached the Door, which would lead them to the City of the Dead. All the horses refused to go in, and ran away, but Aragorn was fearless and led the way, with Andúril drawn. Legolas followed, and Gimli muttered, "Here is a thing unheard of! An Elf will go underground and a Dwarf dare not!" And he followed.
Nothing stopped their passage, but steadily fear grew on Gimli, because he knew that there was now no turning back. All 3 then reached the cavern, and a sound boomed out, "Who dares enter the City of the Dead?!" And the King of the Dead appeared before the 3, with the entire Army of the Dead surrounding them soon after. Aragorn extended an offer to them to release the curse laid upon them by having them go to the aid of Gondor, and thereby releasing them to rest in peace, which they did. (After 3x "What say you?!!")
The Riders of Rohan reached the Pelennor Fields, where the fought tooth and nail, striking fear into the hearts of the orcs and thereby crushing their right flank with a huge wave of calvary charge. This pushed back the attack of Sauron's army. [Magnificent battle indeed] However, the joy was shortlived, as the huge tusked battle elephants rushed into battle, with archers perched on the back of it. The elephants whacked the hell outta King Theoden's calvary, and the formation was broken. Émoer did a great javelin throw at one of the elephant riders and caused a temporary disruption to the attacks, and Éwoyn & Merry rode in between the legs of the elephants and stabbed hard at them, causing the elephant to buckle under his own weight.
The Dark Lord (witchdoctor) -- Lord of the Nazgûl attacked King Theoden and slammed him hard on the ground, the beast he was riding on ready to feast on the flesh of the King, not before Éwoyn intervened, slashing off the beast's head with 2 strokes. The Dark Lord boomed, "No man can kill me!!" and was stabbed by Merry from the back [lame...-___-!!!] and was killed off by Éwoyn (who showed tt she was a gal...), with her last strength driving the sword into the face of the Dark Lord, thereby killing him...However, King Theoden died. -sad-
Meanwhile, the Corsairs of Umbar arrived through the river, and out leapt....3 dudes: Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli, who muttered that it looked like a great place to up their kill count...The Orcs at the port were all taken by surprise, but that quickly changed, and they were prepared to kill e 3, but not before realising that there was actually an Army of the Dead behind the 3 of them, which quickly overran the troops there and at the Pelennor Fields.
Legolas did a superb 'magic' trick...he got onto the tusk of an elephant, swung himself from the front to the back, and started shooting at the archers on top of the elephant, then getting rid of the canopy, and killing the beast with 3 arrows in the head, sliding off it with a kewl finish...[It must be noted that the archers could seemingly shoot riders 500m from them, but apparently have 0 accuracy dealing with Legolas o.0"""""] And Gimli shouted, "That's cheating! It counts as one!"
So all of Sauron's forces were overran, and Aragorn laid the Army of the Dead to rest, not before the Dwarf saying another punchline: "It's better to leave them around, they could do much more help to us" o.0''
The council of Gondor to attack Mordor to divert Sauron's attention on Frodo's quest was being discussed. Gimli quipped, "The odds of survival are low, the risks are great, let's go!" [eh....this dude has the most punchline liao larz...]
Frodo, led into Shelob's lair by the treacherous Gollum, stumbled out, but was ultimately poisoned and was stone-dead (not yet dead larz...juz...frozen?) Sam took Frodo's ring, and set out to save him when he was taken by the orcs to Cirith Ungol..which had all its defenders killed by an internal mutiny [sheesh...how lame can this go?! ROFLOL!]
Sam and Frodo then continue on to the Land of Shadow towards Mount Doom. Sauron's attention was affixed on the battle happening just outside his gate, with his army being deployed out, outnumbering those led by Aragorn @ least 15 : 1...[Hey hey! We got the magic Elf, the unbeatable Aragorn, the psychotic Dwarf and the White Wizard...can we still lose? LOL!] The Eagles came during the battle to deal with the flying Nazgûl also...
Sam and Frodo's climb up Mount Doom [READ: an active VOLCANO!! So both of them can be nominated for best mountaineers...Plus Sam can become SOF with the way he casevacted Frodo, plus without food and water for 2 plus days...?] Gollum appeared to stop them, but was futile for Frodo managed to sprint [READ: sprint hor! Up a volcano eh! U imagine :) ] up the mountain to the temple leading to the flow of lava within the mountain. [Juz dun understand....how can someone survive with THAT heat??!]
But as Frodo was about to throw the Ring into the flaming lava, something changed his heart, and he was consumed by the evil of the Ring...he slipped on the Ring to become invisible, and attempted to escape, but Gollum came along and bit his finger off to retrieve the Ring...so happy till he stepped too near the edge, and Frodo did a great tackle on him to push him down into the smolten lava, and was left hanging for his dear life (with one hand...) [How? I would wonder...No food, no water, in pain, and HOT!]
Sam rescued him and both escaped out, and the destruction of the Ring led to a lot of after effects and shockwaves, with Sauron's one-eyed tower destroyed and his army scattering in fear. Mount Doom erupted, and Sam and Frodo sought shelter (for e moment) at a cliff...and were too exhausted...till they were saved by the Eagles led by Gandalf.
So...the end was quite fairytale like....no need to say much liaoz...lol...Aragorn was crowned the King of Men, and married Arwen, with the 4 Hobbits (Frodo, Sam, Pippin, Merry) being honorary members of the City...
The 4 returned to the Shire 13 months after being summouned by Gandalf to the aid of the Men, and Sam married Rose Cotton, whilst Frodo penned the Lord of the Rings in the book started by Bilbo Baggins.
Frodo had to leave in the end, together with Bilbo, with the elves to the Havens...on the Elven ship [possibly due to him being poisoned by Shelob...cos it obviously hasnt healed...plus the fact that he WAS a ring bearer...]
Sleepy liaoz....analysis another day...
