Lame n idiotic

6 mth job coming 2 an end.

2008-06-08T22:36:00.003+08:00

So long nvr blog liao. Guess some pple even dun bother 2 chk my blog for any update liao. Haha. Once uni starts, b rest assured tat i will start bloggin. Finally, my job has come 2 an end. Finally can heave a sigh of relief. Thinking back, I looked quite comical though when my colleagues told me hw i looked like when i spoke 2 cust, wearing the headset. Talking to the computer in front of me with all the hand gestures and body language. Occasional middle finger gesture. Occasional muting of cust 2 spout vulgarities. Haha

S u can c, up till nw, all my current job experiences are related to customer svc. Thou these exp r nt related to wad i m goin 2 study in uni, i definitely learn alot frm these jobs, frm hw 2 handle customer n hw 2 tolerate all sorts of customer. Without a doubt, there is 1 undeniable fact in tis industry: Customer is always right. Hwever, after dealing with certain customers, i wld always question myself hw true tis statement is.

Insatiable greed. These 2 words sometimes can b used 2 reflect on some of the characteristics certain customers possess. There is always a grp of customers trying 2 find loopholes in the system n unscrupulously exploit these loopholes for their own benefits. Together with their so called rights (Customer is always rights), this grp of customers will eventually savour the taste of victory effortlessly. Hw justifiable this customer's right is?

Consumerism is always about unlimited wants. Let's look at this scenario: customer demands for vouchers. Companies decide to reward these loyal customers wif some high value vouchers. Instead of being appreciative, some of them who are driven by their unlimited wans ask for more vouchers or extend the expiry dates etc ... n this action is backed by their strong belief of tat customer's right.

There are even a grp of customers who obviously make mistake on their own n then they find all sorts of reason 2 blame companies for misleading them despite evidence clearly showed tat staffs did adv customers clearly instead of cheating them. Again, these grp of pple demand their right of way due 2 customers are always right. This is totally absurd.

Nevertheless, there are always nice customers around who will treat u like another human and will heap praises upon you if u do a gd job. At the same time, I feel sometimes the policies and promo implemented by the companies can b quite misleading esp all the terms & conditional the "*" sign behind the Free......... Once u sign the new prdt, tat's it. 2 yrs contract binding u. Hence, if u are interested in any promos, pls read the terms & conditions first and if still nt clear, rmb to clarify with the companies and get the person's name to play safe. Haha.

After all, we are also human and oso hope tat customers at least show us some respect which i feel we do deserve. Yes, sometimes i do agree tat it is our companies' faults. We do understand hw u feel but i feel it is unnecessary for u to just call in and yell at the person who attend to u unreasonably.

Tis yr oso mark a remarkable feat- i finally 21 liao. Haha. Thx u so much for my frens n classmates for turning up for my bday bbq @ aloha changi. Ha very creative of my classmates to use mahjong tiles to form happy bday. Very "creative" way of showing Anthony is arnd by my pw grp mates. Haha tgpwol. Pai sei SJ, Kel, SH and Dog i dozed off tat nite & cant send u all off.

Nw I hav 2 do all those NUS registration thing. Ha b4 sch starts, i already owe pple $$$ liao-DBS. No choice i can onli get my insurance policy $$ in 2011... Nw oso got 1 more P6 students for tuition plus my cousin. Ha i still rmb 2 solve qns via models though i start 2 teach them use simultaneous eqn 2 solve some stupid questions. Tis wk oso hav 2 go for my MSE camp 2D1N. Guess tat will b my onli orientation camp tat i will b goin. Nw oso starts 2 revise my jc wrk a bit s i tik most of them i hav alreadi returned back 2 my teachers. Haiz i still hav 2 sit for my QET nxt fri. Confirm flung with flyin colour. Heard tat @ NTU, if GP C5, no need 2 take. Ha if i knew, shld hav applied NTU instead.

Pai sei alvin cant go the kelong trip wif u all. got 2 save money and @ the same time, i oso going langawi wif relatives during end of july, sadly paying for my own trip. For august, i hav been assigned by "some1" to pick a venue for class outing. Take care n enjoy ureself b4 sch starts. Hope 2 c u all soon.

My Job

2008-03-03T20:15:00.002+08:00

1 wk wrkin 5 days but life still goes on. Kind of miss my life in sch n army. Ha y humans always liddat wan. when u r wrking n lookin @ pple in the train rush 2 wrk n rush back hme, u miss life in sch n army. when u r schoolin, wrking life n life w/o muggin keep appearing on ure mind... Haiz got 2 keep remindin myself 2 cherish wad i hav nw, enjoy this very moment of ure life n making this as meaningful s possible in ure life.

1 mth into my job liao. i feel like everyday goin 2 wrk is like goin in2 a new battle grnd. Customers will call in 2 "drop bombs" on u for no apparent reasons n worse, bcoz ure dear colleague "plant a mine" in front of the customers' houses. Invisible homing missiles almost constantly flying overhead, seeking endlessly for the right department, right person 2 fly 2. In this "battlefield", i have to be prudent n vigilant. 所谓一着不慎，满盘皆输, one wrong step, one wrong decision, one wrong click i will land myself in Anti-Personnel mine...

1 mth into my job has sort of allow me 2 c different type of pple n negative side of pple. Lack of patience, rude, greedy, irresponsible, selfish, inconsiderate. Guess in the customer svc sector these will b common faces of the pple that you will stumble upon. No matter wad they can always put the blame on me as i have 2 take the blame... Sometimes, even ure colleagues frm the other department can even b the black sheep... Simply dun do his/her job n tik he is zhang san feng, use taiji divert his job here & there. Let's face it... tis is the harsh reality of the wrkg society

Luckily there is always a grp of nice colleagues in ure department 2 share ure stories with n share the same frustration with you when dealing with a particular customers. they r also the 1 who can realli put themselves in2 ureselves. W/o one another, i dun tik there won't be any call centres left in this customer svc industry in which the expectation is always soaring high.

Hweva, so far tis job i still like it. Realli train my patience n my phone etiquette n ure analytical skills n hav 2 constantly come up wif ways 2 solve the cust issue. realli hone my interaction n interpersonal skills. all of these will b definitely b great help 2 me in the future ba, be it in my studies or wrk. anw will b havin a 1 nite chalet for my birthday celebration in may. got 2 bk it soon liao. Ha let's look 4ward 2 it ba....

Then there will b customers call in n realli "ask abt" ure mother, ure father n ure brother. wad 2 do. customer always right lor. Nw still ok but juz b4 i go hme everyday, confirm will receive a hairdryer treatment call frm cust who blast @ me like there is no 2ml for things i nvr even do for him n i hav nt offended him or served him b4....

Finally got a job

2007-12-21T18:47:00.000+08:00

Finally i got a job @ singtel call centre @ serangoon s customer service officer. Nxt time in feb if u call 1627 u might hav a chance 2 tok 2 me. Haha. Pay wise is comparable 2 daren's n lummy's wan xcept less 1.50... Hweva, i will onli start wrk on 8 Jan onli which means i hav 2 cope wif 2 more wks liddat wif veri limited money 2 spend.

Hweva it is exhilarating for me 2 get a job @ last. S usual, i wld prepare a script n turn up 4 the interview. Guess i hav gone 4 alot of interviews liao which led to me being veri composed n relaxed. The interviewer was quite gd n nvr specifically make the interview difficult 4 me. It was quite conspicuous when she is veri interested in my Giordano wrking exp. Hweva, 2wards the end, it was a total sian ji bua ans tat she will onli giv me an ans by 1st wk of Jan...

So i was like quite disenchanted n left the place. The wk b4, my another recruit agency sent in my resume 2 Starhub 2 apply 4 this same job n they say starhub veri efficient n will get back 2 me within 5 days. Hweva, @ tat time they still had nt got back to me. B4 i came 2 tis interview, i alreadi felt wrking 4 starhub is far-fetched liao n nvr did i realise tat the situation will b the same after the singtel interview.

When i was on bus heading back 2 AMK, my fren frm the recruit agency called me n enquired abt the progress of my interview. I told him satisfactory but still waitin for singtel confirmation. Den 2 my astonishment, he said they accepted u liao n asked me 2 bring my bank bk n come 2 his office 2 sign the 6 mths contract. Testament to my exp in Giordano, guess i was thus given tis job ba. This totally enlivened up my gloomy day.I felt tat it is definitely preposterous if i stall tis contract n wait 4 starhub reply n let the foolish incident of lab tech n bank job recurred again. Hence, without much consideration, i headed dwn 2 my fren's office 2 sign the contract.

Intriguingly, another career agency no appeared in my hp. It ended up my another recruit agency called 2 tell me tat starhub wan 2 hav an interview wif me nxt wk. ARGH i almost bang my head on the wall. I wld b sufferin a loss of 100-200 bucks a mth, compared 2 the starhub job. Contract alreadi signed liao wad can i do. Suck thumb lor. Suay tat i miss out tis rare opportunity n yet lucky @ the same time tat both company offer me opportunities 2 wrk wif them.

Sian these few wks @ hme. Onli swim, gym, play rakion onli. Wad 2 do? No money 2 spend. Haiz... Luckily nxt wk start my cousin P5 maths tuition. @ least got something 2 occupy me more meaningfully. Anw guess the tuition i wont b chargin my uncle money ba. Abt 2 more wks 2 class chalet n my job. Pls intro me any veri temp job 4 one or 2 wks if u all hav any lobangs. Thx alot.

Alien Vs Predator Requiem

2007-12-13T12:19:00.000+08:00

Nice movie. Muz watch. Sort of my childhood fav show. Haha my childhood so bloody rite. 1st five min of the movie. Will b released in 1st january 2008.

Just bought a new com wif my brother. Dunno y my bro wan 2 invest so much on the com but i onli pay him $300 bucks 1st. Rest i will pay him slowly n get him a watch oso but onli if i START WORKIN......

Haiz everyday rot @ hme or go gym. Bank acc left wif the pathetic sum of $9 onli... Lookin 4 job but 2 no avail. Guess it is my fault. Picky abt tis nt 6 mth contract, this pay nt $7 a hr dun wan... In addition, guess my luck nt there oso. Haiz this wk tot i can start wrk liao but 2 my astonishment no.

Last wk i went for a bank interview n they ask me 2 go hme wait 4 result... @ the same time, jeremy who is wrking s lab technician says his lab faces a shortage of manpwr n his manager is intending 2 hire another lab technician. Honestly speaking, I wld prefer the lab technician job than the bank job. Most imptly, It is related 2 wad i studyin in university, dealin wif lab wrk n chemicals. 2ndly, i can wrk with my fren.

Therefore i went for the interview. Suay suay the bank accepted me but i told them 2 wait s i realli need some serious consideration. At the mean time, the lab manager says he wld like 2 hire me but he needs 2 seek approval frm his president. Hence, i got 2 wait 4 his response n procrastinate my confirmation of the bank job 2 a later date. Very mean rite treat the bank job s a back up........ Yah n guess because of this i get my well deserved retribution....

The president wan 2 cut cost so cant afford 2 hire another lab tech. Guess he realli wan 2 fully max out the current employees in the lab... Guess he 4got abt the law of diminishin marginal return... Unfortunately, the bank cant wait liao n they got a PERMANENT staff 2 replace me...... 1stly, i tried 2 out smart the bank by makin the dire situation i facing advantageous 2 me, making the best out of it, tikin i got the upperhand... 事事难于意料，我的如意算盘结果被识破. In the end, i m just another gd learning example of loser... Haiz... It realli makes my day. Realli wan 2 bang myself against my wall. Angst n total disappointment... Wad a crisis.

Just apply for the call center job daren n lummy in nw n lookin 4 others oso. Hopefully can get in n start wrk frm jan 7. At the mean time, will b workin wif ghim kui some super temporary surveyor job frm fri 2 nxt tues which will fetch abt 200 plus ba. Better than nothing n @ least it will enable 2 survive thru christmas n new yr.

Anw yesterday went 2 aloha changi 4 the fitness reunion. Up 2 the J8 batch came back. So fast i m upgraded 2 the J4 batch. Quite a no of pple went back. (Gk, fujin, jm, andy, weehon, huihan, yenmei & vicki) Nice 4 all of us 2 meet up once a while 2 catch up with one another. It is realli heart warming 2 c hw fitness club has been successful for quite a no of yrs despite facin an ominous change nxt yr...

Anw fujin made a comment abt me which is realli right. It is abt me when i tok 2 others i will nt b able 2 maintain eye contact wan. I will just look dwn, left or right after a while no matter who i m tokin 2. Guess most of u all hav alreadi experienced tis b4 when tokin 2 me. I m nt tryin 2 b rude but tis has been bad habit since young but I will try my utmost 2 change, just like my spouting of vulgarities.

Haiz Eric ar Eric ar. This type of thing u cant do n u cant even get a job nw.... Get a grip on ureself ba....

Back from Taiwan

2007-11-26T02:34:00.000+08:00

Pai sei 4 nt bloggin 4 so long. Just came back frm taiwan a wk ago but dun tik i will share wif u all s i decided 2 share tis taiwan trip wif my class chalet durin the sharin session. Guess taiwan is a pretty gd ctry 2 visit n durin the sharin session dun tik i shld bore the gers much wif my army experiences ba. Howevea, if any1 wan 2 noe anything like where 2 go & dun waste time goin, where fun 2 go in taipei, feel free 2 ask me. Hopefully i can enlighten u abit although i m nt a taipei guru.

My trip costs $670. Den i spent abt $480 worth of singapore money on gettin a teddy bear out of a 2pid machine, food, hot spring, transport, zoo entrance fee, muay chee, pineapple tart, puma shoe, tommy hilfiger long sleeve, tea leaves, almond powder, dried scallops etc. The whole trip costs abt $1150 ba but the trip is veri worthswhile n enjoyable.

Haiz nw i like very poor liao. Bcoz of tat trip, $300 2 invest in my bro new desktop & a new nokia 6120 for me, my bank left $69... 2 make things worse, i cant get a job @ the moment... Morale totally rock bottom.

Nw i m machaim the peon in WC3, keep sayin:" Work work!", walkin arnd desperately lookin for some1 2 giv me job... End up guess i m like a peon stuck in the orc burrow...

Quite a no of job agencies r tryin 2 help me source but up till now to no avail. Last interview wif starhub 4 credit ctrl officer job kena rejected. I was quite upset & hav no mood 2 do anything. Quite alot of pple arnd me r wrkin while i m still lazin arnd... 1stly i need $$ n most imptly $$ for my drivin after just passin my BDT. 2ndly, i dunno wad 2 do wif so much free time suddenly without spendin much $$. 3rdly, it has been a while since i stopped wrkin.. & my workaholic attitude is comin back n i realli cant tolerate anymore... Really veri angst & troubled... Hopefully i can get another interview soon...

Haiz nw got so much time until i can go read other pple's blog n realise quite alot of pple oso quite busy oso nvr update. Read until i stumbled upon this:

Living it up to the sgt who sleeps ard, I've slept wif Zhong Liang, Darren, Eric, Janmeet, Melvin, Ming Ze, Gabriel, Joel, Yan Hong, Yew Boon, Alvin, Shi Yuan, Xuan Zheng, Wilson Chua, Anthony n Gang, Randall n Gang. Wahhh. u all didn noe rite.. lol... I often neglect my bed buddy wilson.. U all noe y?

Because I'm always sleeping wif Eric!!! My Ke Ai!!

Omg i almost fell off my chair lor. Nvm den follow by this:

I missed my Ke Ai the most. Because he is ther when i need someone to talk to. Makes me smile when I'm upset. Make me angry when I'm happy.. lol.. The worst thing is before he left 4 taiwan, he didn even call me. When I called him, he didn even answer my phone.. Now come back liao still didn tell me.. My wishful thinking we were good frens... Hai.. Suan le..

Wah again i almost fell off my chair. Wah said until liddat. But i feel sorry abt it oso.

Haiz sorry pple. Tis wk after comin back 2 taiwan, the job searchin thing n being rejected realli made me moody n sian. I will make ammendments. Sorry guys again...

Flyin 2 taiwan

2007-11-11T16:12:00.000+08:00

Finally it is time 4 me to go on a 5 day break frm Singapore. Taiwan here i come. Pai sei this few wks nothing much to blog. @ the same time, i was quite busy lookin for jobs after i ORD. Pai sei 2 alvin, aaron & jm for nt realli helpin much in the chalet plannin tis wk. C ya all soon.

ORD lor.

2007-11-10T13:45:00.000+08:00

ORD lor! Finally get to see & most imptly keep my pink IC which is being kept for abt 1yr10mths. Now i m no longer a NSFs but a NSman, no longer 3SG Eric Lim but Mr Lim or 3SG (NS) Eric Lim. Without a doubt, it is an overjoying milestone in my life so far, putting an end to my arduous yet rewarding and vibrant NSF life. However, it is quite sad for me to leave the company which i spent 1 yr with and especially the group of fabulous 3SGs in the company.

Recently OC just asks us to write a feedback abt my exp in Lion Coy. Guess i juz show with u all here abt tat but not the feedback for senior commanders. Ha as u noe, tat feedback might be a sensitive issue to some pple. Haha. OK the feedback goes as this...

Time really flies. Soon it is time for me to part 42 SAR Lion Company. To speak the truth, our tour as specialists in Lion Company has been one wrought with immense stress and challenges. However, we have managed to overcome all the challenges and persevere until now. It is definitely a great sense of achievement to be able to do that. For me, I have definitely learnt a lot in this company.

1) Armour skills

When I came over from TCC, I have no idea how a tact team works and have to learn it within a short time span. Luckily, with the help of the commander outfield trainings, I am able to grasp the essence of the tank element in a tact team and even in a combat team context and work efficiently side by side with the Bionix variants. I have also been able to understand all the Armour mission intents and the way the plans are being carried out.

I have to admit that I totally suck at navigation. Due to all the trainings frequently being held at the training areas, I have a lot of chances to improve on my navigational skills. Now I can say that I will not get lost in most of the training areas especially TVMA with a map.

After going through several exercises with the TES side, I am now more proficient in handling and trouble-shooting the TES side. I have to thank the OSCMAR people for being able to share with us all the valuable information about this sophisticated system. Along the way, Mingze, Choon Siang and LTA Shao Wei have also shared with me various troubleshooting methods they have discovered to add to my TES set knowledge.

2) Personal skills

Roles of a 3^rd sergeant also include doing Platoon Duty Sergeant, Company Duty Sergeant and Company Orderly Sergeant. These tasks really hone my interpersonal skills as I got to work with a lot of other people. Before army, I was especially shy when working with people I not familiarize with. Now, I am more confident in dedicating tasks to the men whom I do not know to do. I am more proficient in running the company as CDS and handling my platoon men during the daily routines despite their diverse backgrounds.

I have also learnt the different approaches to use when handling with different men. Some men required reprimanding before they will aid you to accomplish certain tasks. On contrary, some required you to explain the reason behind doing certain tasks before they will help you.

I have also learnt to look at things at different perspectives. Sometimes, the suggestions offered by men are not necessarily crap but ingenious and feasible ideas that will save resources. Hence, I have learnt to take some of the men’s suggestions or feedbacks into consideration and try to look at things at their perspectives.

Most importantly, I have learnt to work under tremendous stress. As a 3^rd sergeant, I am sandwiched between our superiors and the men. To make things worse, the men are 2^nd year soldiers. Hence, most of them will tend to be uncooperative. Despite all of these, luckily, we are still able to escape unscathed and managed to get things going under such dire situation.

3) Friendship

When I realized that there will only be 3 tank specialists in the company, I was worried that we will be ostracized by the Armour Infantry specialists. However, this turns out to be very wrong. Within months, from just ordinary bunkmates or fellow company specialists, we become friends who are willing to lend a helping hand in times of troubles. I will never forget the times we spent together having fun in the camp, the times we met outside camp to eat or play, the times we spent outfield laagering under the same moon and the times we spent attacking all the objectives. I have to admit all the friendships forged in this company mean a lot to me as they have brought a lot of joy and laughter to my life in Lion Company despite its hectic training schedule. Without them, life in this company will be monotonous and meaningless.

In conclusion, I will definitely miss my time in this wonderful company with a wonderful command team. Looking back, all the outfields, all the trainings, all the tough challenges, all the fun, all the friendship forged have definitely made my life in Lion Company a vibrant and impressive one, compared to those posted to other places. My valuable experience in this company is undoubtedly irreplaceable.

Tat's all for my reflection. Actually shld hav added things like i got to "thank" the 3SGs for giving me nicknames like wad Teddy, Xiao Tian Tian & Ke Ai... Sounds so mushy & nauseating... "Thank" pple like melvin, daren, Kwan Siong & shiyuan for their "daily hug" to me and this "never" fail to brighten up my day.... Yah rite! All straight act until so gay... Haha. Got 2 thank all my bunk pple for putting up with my rubbish and craps. Got 2 thank all the specs for putting up wif my sometimes short-temper or mistakes. Lastly, thx alot CS n MZ 4 goin all thru thick & thin in almost doin everything frm taking the plt to goin outfield and putting up wif me. Without the 2 of u, i will not survive handlin the plt until now. Without all the 3SGs, my life in the company will b s colourless s a black & white TV...

Tis is an interestin video.

Imagine jianhong doin this video. Haha! Check out my matchin pipes!

After the tiring 28km rd march on 27 May, we marched 2 the parade sq for our mini POP. We were presented the cpl rank by our PC n our postings were read to us. Wk b4, i went to PTI trial test to try my luck to go in2 PTI after my BSLC. On the day of postin, instead of goin to PTI, i was informed tat i was posted to Armour Training Institute for armour conversion course. Wah i was stunned s the camp is super ulu. Haiz... Some went 2 engineer, artillery, recce while some stayed @ PLC for Advance Section Leadership course. Chengwee, Joel, Chok, Sianghan(my bmt plt mate) were posted 2 the same place s me

Armour Training Institute- TCC (June 2006-Oct 2006)

The camp super ulu.... Got 2 walk abt 10 min 2 reach bus stop n the bus took abt 30 min 2 reach a neighbourhood. For armour, there r 3 types of variant 2 trained in - tank & BX 40/50 & BX 25mm. I was selected for tank commander course along wif 26 other pple. Out of the 26 pple, i noe mingze, ming wei & sianghan s they r my bmt plt mate. Sianghan is oso my echo plt mate in sispec.

Worst of all, we got 2 take Army Training Evaluation Centre test @ nxt yr may & july to determine the efficiency of 42 SAR in defending Singapore. Pple like Jeremy who go 41 SAR is super heng. They will take new batch of recruits n start training them frm bmt. These men will tend 2 b more cooperative n scare of the sgts s they r still new 2 the army system. Soon i was posted 2 lion coy s 34C tank spec along wif my bmt sect mate n tcc course mate, mingze & choonsiang.

Sore eyes n tat CPL DAVE

2007-09-16T15:24:00.000+08:00

Phew frm nw onwards can slowly can clear leave & off until ORD. Once again, i wld like 2 thx HQ plt(Mel, Janmeet & Jian An) 4 willing 2 combine wif us 2 take both HQ n Tank plt frm nw onwards 2 enable me, mz n cs 2 clear most of our lves n offs. Thx 4 ure understandin esp Tan Jian An who got 2 sacrifice the most.

Haiz suay suay i kena sore eyes guess spreaded frm cs ba. Wah tis is my 1st time kena sore eyes lor. Initially ure eyes open & close oso veri painful n itchy. Den ure eyes will bcome red machaim like vampires. Anw sore eyes spread veri fast so pple pls dun touch the eyes or ani eye discharges frm the person havin sore eyes. Saliva oso will spread so no sharing of food. Dunno whether the virus is airborne ar nt. If yes, guess those sore eyes pple got 2 sew the airborne badge on their uniform liao. Hahaha.

My taiwan trip oso settled liao. Will b flyin 2 taipei on the 12 Nov n will b back on 16 Nov. 5D4N free & easy trip. $670 inclusive of 3 * hotel accommodation, airport-hotel transit, 1/2 day complementary taipei city tour (waste time xcept 4 those 1st timer) & tipping. Goin there by jetstar asia s the timing of the flight it offers is the best & cheap. Tis time go there will try the hot spring there and visit taipei county areas like keelung n jiufen. Heng my hotel is abt 10 min wlk frm ximending. Any1 interested in goin i can send u the places of interest n hw 2 go there file compiled by some kind singaporeans.

Nw all the army camps in singapore r super on the ball n every1's head is on the risk of being put on the choppin board daily. All these is due 2 CPL DAVE the ccb scumbag who committed the father of all sins of bringin SAR21 wif 8 live rounds during guard duty 2 cineleisure simply because of relationship problem. I still dun get it. Of all reasons, u choose 2 take a live weapon out of camp just 4 a ger... If u say u got news of terrorists out of camp n u do tis n kill the terrorist every1 will say u Hero. But yet if u say u do tis 4 a ger n kill her every1 will say u r dumb n every1 in the army will fuck u upside dwn. Where got pple jeopardise ure future n saboh the whole army organisation liddat. Somemore he is abt 1 or 2 more mths 2 ORD...

Looks like he watches 2 much action movies n tik machaim he is the main lead of tis movies. Rambo ram ure lan jiao lar. Veri cool rite take live weapon wif live ammo walk arnd orchard rd machaim some big shot. Pls lar tis is singapore leh. The place is so small n the internal security n military so efficient. U realli tik u r matt damon in bourne series movies can escape here n there so easily.

Bcause of u u affect every1 in the army frm top 2 bottom. Nw security status in singapore camps is much higher bcause of tis case. Those pple doin duty more poor thing. Pple doin guards almost get turn out 4 quite a no of times thruout the nite. Everyday here check there check n pple gettin xtras or confinements easily. COSes got 2 b on high alert almost everynite n they cannot slp well @ nite oso. Bcause of u, alot of sudden spot checks r waitin 2 suddenly pop out n stun pple in all camps. The result of tis spot checks almost chop alot of pple's head... Bcause of 1 person's inconsiderate, childish, dumb n selfish act, he saboh n set up the entire army organisation n let every1 in camp 2 curse abt. Nw if he goes back 2 any camp, i can picture all the guard com, guard 2ic n guard 3ic will load their Sar21 (his fav weapon) n fire @ him & activate all the guards 2 get the shields n batons 2 execute the drill which he caused them 2 get turn out so many times 2 practice n whack the living hell out of him. If he still manages 2 make it in2 the camp, other pple will use his fav SAR21 thrust it up his ass n stuff live rnds in2 his mouth...

Dunno y b4 he did tis he nvr tik of the consequences. He is like abt 1 or 2 mth 2 ORD onli n yet still wan 2 do tis. He nvr tik of wad punishment will he b liable 2 after gettin caught. He nvr tik abt his future. Yah unless his future is appearin on crime watch s Mr XXXX n cried n told every1 tat regretted wad he had done n advise pple nt 2 follow his footsteps in the future. He nvr tik 4 his parents. His parents dunno go thru hw many difficulties just to bring him up s an adult n yet he did tis type of thing 2 repay them. He nvr tik 4 the guard com, guard 2ic n guard 3ic who trusted him 2 perform his duty. He betrayed their trust n landed them into deep shit. Lastly he nvr tik abt hw much inconvience he will bring abt 2 the army by his selfish actions...

Haiz tis entry may sound vulgar n sarcastic but i m just sharin hw most of the army personnels feel abt him onli.

AOH 2007

2007-09-05T15:32:00.000+08:00

Last wkend i was part of the Army Open House 2007 participants. Haiz live firing 2 show pple who visited the shock effect n capability of my tank live rnd. They will either mount up on tonners 2 c frm the back while those fortunate wan will b able 2 mount up Bionix n watch the live firing of all armoured veh up close. Ha but those pple hav 2 suffer even more frm the loud noise due 2 the firing.

Ha my 14A tank n my head were featured on straits times 1st page. But dun tik every1 can distinguish me ba s half of my face was blocked n my entire face was camouflaged. Quite heng lar. In one's lifetime, u got 2 chances of appearin on the newspaper. 1st is u bcome famous by doin something heinous or veri gd 2 the society. 2nd is appear on the orbiturary when u sell salted duck eggs.

Anw durin 5 days, we did like 9 runs a day. Wah quite tiring n sian. Every mornin 6 got 2 wake up n @ nite abt 11 den reach camp 2 rest. @ the same time, nature is nt so kind 2 us s it almost rained everyday wif intervals, causin me 2 b drenched. Everyday got 2 put up wif the 25mm, 7.62mm, .5mm HMG, 75 rnds bang bang bang. Tik my sense of hearin deteoriated liao. Dunno y parents bring their children 2 come 4 the live firing. The noise generated frm tis live firing definitely can harm those delicate ear drums of children wan. Worse still, on one of the day, the main gun just fired off upon me loadin in the rnd although the gun is "safe" n the gunner did nt press the fire button. Mishap may hav befalled upon me if my hands n legs r @ the wrong place @ tat time.

Act after this AOH, i did feel a sense of achievement. Tis is a rare opportunity which i can b part of it 2 portray the capabilities of armr veh n wad m i trained although it seems monotonous everyday. Luckily the organisers got help us take dwn photos of us doin tis AOH 2 let us keep. Organisers oso catered KFC n Mac for our lunch n dinner on the last day 2 reward us oso. Offs r oso promised 2 us but i dun tik i care oso s i got 2 much 2 clear liao. Ha. Anw if any1 of u can find any pics of the mission world of the AOH pls send me. Thx alot

Goin 2 ORD soon liao but i already find tat $$ nt enuff liao. Goin taiwan most prob on 6 nov. Den got 2 buy desktop nxt mth. My drivin practise startin in Nov after taiwan trip. Dec or jan most prob will hav class chalet but i strongly suggest jan b4 the gers go back uni s it will b more cheaper. Jialat! Guess i will start teachin a bit of tuition 2 sec sch pple. All subj except english. $20 per hr ba. Heard tat my tis rate is damn low but i dun care liao. Must hav some source of income b4 i get a stable job... Starbuck, coffeebean, subway, restaurant, apparel shops???

Army Open House

2007-08-25T16:22:00.000+08:00

Tis wk mon n tues off so rot @ hme. Wed went back 2 paint tank for the upcomin CO change of command parade. Thurs n fri went for Army open house live firing rehearsal. Luckily bcoz of my commitment in AOH, my OC excused me frm Sunday Army half marathon n the preparation on Sat itself. Heng ar less 1 wkend burnt.

Thurs went 4 my 1st live firing. Sian. 1st day go there kena scold 4 nothing by 40 CO. Super turned off. My tank juz manuevred slowly s i needed 2 adjust my tank 2wards the tgt 4 the 1st time. "14A can u stop movin like a fuckin pussy!" Tat was wad the the 40 CO lashed out @ me. Walau eh i 1st time doin leh can giv me some leeway. Haiz life in army is liddat. Due 2 the regimental system n ranks, i 3SG got 2 put up wif such stuffs.... Other than tat, all the runs were alright.

Nxt wk i can onli go hme on wed. Mon got rehearsals n on tues, the media is comin 2 film something, tik is the advertisement 4 the AOH ba. Den frm thurs 2 the following mon, AOH officially starts n i had 2 stay there until 2000hrs den go back camp n slp... Sad rite... Hopefully the followin wk i can clear off n get excused frm COC parade. Den nw my coy come up wif some stupid clear off policies which i tik i wont b able 2 clear finish my offs liao.

Damn dulan. If u dun intend 2 let us clear, y giv us in the 1st place. All these offs r given 4 the amt of sweat, time n effort we spent doin things on wkends or some extra events wan. Nw u dun let us clear. Realli wth! I had alreadi met the requirement 2 ORD liao not sayin tat i dun wan 2 strive for my ippt gold. My frens in other coys or other battalions can clear y cant i clear. Unfairness n double standard. u simply wan every1 2 get gold n soc pass such tat this result n record will b beneficial for ure career advancement. Selfish is the word i can tik of 2 describe tis. Tis is absolutely absurd. Wad if until the end cannot get gold hw? U still let us clear? Or still cannot clear? Cannot ans rite. If u choose let us clear no 1 will bother 2 strive 4 gold in the 1st place. See u cant ans tis qns coz u r afraid of the consequences of choosin either ans.

Tues wed thurs clear half day off. U got no right 2 force us 2 clear. If u onli allow us 2 clear onli this 3 days, hw much $$ will one spend on transportation goin out n back 2 camp? Alot rite. So u tik who wld wan 2 clear. If u force, u will b subjected 2 complains. Pls spare a thought 4 those who hav fighted 4 ure sake, trained 4 ure sake n helped u along the way.

Anw juz 2 inform those who r interested in tis yr Army Open House. It will b held @ Pasir Laba Camp(somewhere near boon lay) frm 30 aug-3 sept. Time i nt sure but soon it will b on media advertisement. Tis yr nt bad the public can hav a chance 2 c alot of live firin like attack helicopter, milan, mortar n armour vehs. If any1 goin pls help me take some photographs of the live firin s i wan 2 hav some photos 4 momento. Thx alot.

Army Open House

2007-08-19T12:05:00.000+08:00

Tis wk juz finished my ACCT package. All the "ya ya" shouting made me lose my voice 4 abt 2 days...Wif acct cleared, i can nw juz wait for my ord day 2 come s my ippt n soc had met the ord requirement oso. Haha. Some pple c tis sentence confirm curse n swear wan. Hweva i still got 1 more combat shoot plus i wan 2 get back the gold which i missed by 3 s... Inevitably, my leaves n offs hav nt cleared oso.

Comin wkend burnt due 2 my battalion is 1 of the sai kang battalions 4 army half marathon. Comin sat my coy got 2 go east coast there set up barricade overnite 4 the sunday mornin run. Den on sun mornin, after pple run finish, we got 2 stay back 2 clear up the barricades. Still ok lar. Tokin abt AHM reminded me of wad happened on fri n yesterday.

On fri i knew i goin 2 help out 4 army open house n i was ok abt it. Howeva, @ 6pm, i received a fone call frm my fren tat i got 2 go back 4 sat rehearsal in the mornin.... Den his coy 2IC spoke 2 me nicely so i dunno y i could nt turn him dwn. Ended up i reached back camp on sat @ abt 0515 n we went pasir laba camp 4 the rehearsal @ 8. Heng he promised us tat we needed 2 go thru the dry run onli den a rover will fetch us back 2 camp.

Suay suay durin the dry run there was a heavy dwnpour n i was the gunner 2 observe n familarise wif the dry run. Within min, i was drenched frm head 2 toe... But gd thing is the 2ic kept his word n sent us back 2 camp 2 bk out after the dry run n promised us 2 hav 1 off in return 4 goin 2 the dry run. I was like aiya y giv me offs. I hav alreadi 2 much offs n leaves 4 me 2 clear finish liao. Y nt give me duty points instead!

N tat AOH will burn me the wkend after AHM... Army open house is frm 30-2 sept @ Pasir Laba Camp n everytime there will b live firin performance 4 VIPs n civilians. Unfortunately i will oso b performin..... Like wth... Got 2 wear tat stuffy coverall n put on camo cream again... Haizz... Wkend burnt they will sure assure u wif offs again. Aargh so much offs 2 clear n yet u still wan 2 add some more. The more u add the more miserable i will feel when i c those earned offs go dwn the drain s i cannot clear finish. Y nt replace the offs wif duty pts instead? Pls 2 the VIP who is readin tis: PLS dun giv me anymore wkend duty liao. Look @ my plight nw. U can laff @ me but dun giv me wkend duty.... Sian...

Anw nxt time dun learn 2 cook by simply lookin @ the recipe of the prdt u buy. Tat jeremy bought lasagne pasta n followed the recipe @ the back 2 cook. I helped him out n ended up the lasagne turned out 2 b watery. Ha wad a failure lor. Hweva @ least we learnt hw 2 make the cheese sauce who tasted veri nice.

Yawn abt 80 days 2 ORD n my offs n leaves is almost half of it. Hw 2 clear....

Teddy...

2007-08-10T23:08:00.000+08:00

Oh great nw most of the pple in my bunk call me teddy. Damn it i realli hate it. Sound so 2pid, gayish n weakling. Machiam i veri soft like cotton... Thx 2 tat 2pid daren who started wif the 2pid name 4 me... Everyday try 2 act gay n disturb ure neighbours wif ure LUMMY LUMMY chant, wad KE AI rubbish n daily hug rubbish... Ha u n ks wah tapuleh tahan. Nw worse even tat king kong call me teddy... Guess the upcomin ORD video 4 the commanders can c new nicks appearin bside my names.... Eh pple look @ the 2 pics below. Honestly, do i look like them? No rite. Ha I m definitely no pushover like those plushies which sole purpose is to let pple hug.

Sian recently heard tat pple wif offs n leaves tat adds up 2 20 plus days high chance of unable 2 clear finish all. There r quite a no of commitments 2 do n thus we wont hav much time 2 clear our off. All these offs r rewards given due to the effort n time we sacrifice 4 some of our trng. Initially tot the more the merrier. Nw it is different. Wad's the use of havin so much offs but end up u cant clear finish all. Wad a waste rite. Ha tik they shld compensate us wif $$ ba 4 such losses.

Last wk we were informed tat ATI needs 2 tank spec 2 attach 2 TCC 2 go taiwan 2 b instructors. Go there realli song. Everytime juz follow the trainees n den kb them. Plus u can hav free air tickets n free tour in taipei n hotel 2 stay 4 3D2N. However u got 2 put up wif alot of live firing exercise n mayb tai feng. Initially, me mz n cs were realli excited by tis. Hweva, we realised tat onli 2 can go n 1 will stay 2 ta all the shits or even more shits when my "best fren" is arnd doin his "urban camouflage n givi out orders 2 do his wrk. Eventually, we decided nt 2 go n let other coy send pple 2 go.

Tis wk n nxt wk i will takin the ACCT course. Wah everytime muz breakfall n fight n shout wif aggression "YA! YA! YA!", tryin s much s possible 2 b a bruce lee wannabe. Wah last wk do until i neck pain back pain. Den suay suay i nvr bring salon pas in camp 2 paste when i slp @ nite. CS is my sparrin partner n everyday we will train n practice all the techniques accordin 2 the instructors' instructions. He veri cooperative xcept 4 2 occassions. He didnt hold onto my collar tightly 2 lessen the impact of me fallin on the grnd despite doin a breakfall. Wah the impact realli made me cough out all the air in my lung! Mayb tat's the retribution for me for nt pullin PS jackson hard 4 breakfall, resultin him cough out air oso... Nxt wk gradin liao hopefully can pass.

Finally got my passport replaces but @ the expense of waitin abt 3 hrs 2 get tat passport in SIR... Ha 1st step 2wards goin taiwan. Anw by oct or nov i will start my drivin practical provided i pass by BDT or FDT lor. 88 more days 2 ORD. Happy of coz but oso fan nao. Got 2 go out find job 2 sustain my current situation n driving...

Blk Leave

2007-07-25T23:47:00.000+08:00

3rd day of blk leave liao. Ha these few days hav been enjoyin myself wif food n games. Let's start wif last Sat.

Went waraku jap restaurant @ marina sq wif mel, daren n ks 4 early dinner. Ha someone nt there coz he is being bao by some rich Tai Tai 2 go bar. When daren arrived, a qns juz pop out of our mouth naturally. "Eh u dress liddat later goin clubbin ar?" Up there lar daren nvr fail 2 hav the clubber aura. Upon lookin @ the menu, tis is definitely a high class restaurant s the price oso quite high class wan. I tik the most worthwhile set will b the kaminabe (i always mispronounce tis due 2 my bad habit in camp. It turns out 2 b something unpleasant) set wif sashimi n tempura moriwase ordered by Mel n Daren. Kaminabe is actually jap paper steamboat wif vege n meat inside. Act i rather xplain here by typin den xplain verbally or else pple will juz feel offended.

Aiya i cannot take prawn due 2 allergy plus the soup is seafood or beef so nt worthswhile 4 me. So suck thumb end up orderin terriyaki chic don. Price high the rice oso alot until u high. Quite full after the meal. After tat head over 2 Suntec 2 look @ some bks in the bk fair. Den saw those poor army guys march in2 suntec 2 keep the state flag. Spotted jm. Dunno y he oso spotted me. Tch tch flag bearer nt focusin on his job... Haha. A curry noodle n caramel coffeebean ice blended rounded up the day b4 i went hme.

Mon went kbox wif mel mz n cs. Wah the mel realli up there. In front of our rm there's 1 fat guy n some other pple dance, stand up n swing arnd. Tat mel kept usin the mic 2 broadcast his displeasure @ them. "Eh rm 27 de dua pui." If they stood up, he wld oso stand up. Haha super comical n left us laffin like hell.

After tat both mz n cs left while mel n i went crystal jade la mian xiao long bao 2 eat. Erm the xiao long bao n la mian realli veri nice. Compare 2 waraku, surprisingly the price there dwn there but food up there so veri worthswhile. Eat until i super full.

Sometimes 病从口入，祸从口出. Aiyo tat day b4 jeremy go back camp i say he suay chiu. Wah den on mon he realli cut his middle finger quite deep n req stitchin. Pai sei nxt time i shld watch my mouth nxt time. Veri sorry cause u go thru all the pain. Nw his middle finger realli super bandaged up, makin it look veri distinct. Wah he best still wan 2 go parade initially. His right hand hw 2 do the salute? End up tik the officers on the observation stage will feel offended by his middle finger. Haha.

Was readin wan bao newspaper until i came across tis article. Some chi reader digest reporters tried 2 conduct a survey in various ctry's cities n spore happn 2 b 1 of it. The survey is 2 deduce hw honest the pple r in tat ctry. Hence, they purposely misplace 30 handphones n c hw many they can recover. In spore, onli 16 were returned. Ha tis reminded me tat mel returned a fone he found in the toilet. Maybe he is one of the 16. Haha. 4 me, i tik hp is an important gadget nwadays. W/o it u will lose ure main means 2 communicate. Later got new fone got 2 spend alot of time gettin all the contacts. Super troublesome. Nw hp oso contains alot of valueable personal things like photos. It can b quite heartbreakin 2 lose all of these. Worse of all is u may end up bcome another NYP tammy. Haha. All in all, juz return any hp u find. Even though it mayb a veri gd fone, juz put ureself in2 the person's shoe. Wld u like some1 2 take ure fone n even look @ the things inside. Return the fone n who noes u may improve the spore honesty rate. Haha

Anw nwadays take photos of incident happening n submit 2 the wan bao. As a reward, u will receive a $50 voucher. Gd deal rite? Ha to all pple havin digital camera, shld nw put it 2 gd use by bringin it out everyday n take photos. Hahaha.

ATEC over liao

2007-07-22T21:18:00.000+08:00

Finally my time 2 blog has come. Act i was lazy so quite long nvr blog. Haha. Atec finally came 2 an end after 4D3N outfield. Tis time rnd i was "killed" durin mission 1 by RPG 22 frm an enemy armour simulation veh. I was quite suay lar. @ tat time, my PS tank was engagin an enemy veh head on @ a narrow track. I cant realli move up n fire alongside wif my PS due 2 the narrow terrain. Soon my PS required 2 reload n thus retreated.

Ha my time has come 2 vanquish the enemy but.......... Upon movin out frm my cover the enemy veh was alreadi in positn 2 ambush me n thus the "kill" alarm went off... Quite suay but i shld hav observed more b4 movin out. Tis time rnd tik my 有勇无谋 killed me. Anw the nxt 2 missions didnt manage 2 encounter much enemy n den went back camp liao.

Soon ATEC was the past after 1 whole day of debrief n knowin tat we r a redcon 2A battalion which is abt 85% or less ba. With ATEC gone soon ord will b approachin liao. So fast. Ha pple say after goin thru army one will likely 2 change n bcome better. Ha 4 me, tik nothing change much ba xcept my face got more pimple n me gainin a few cm. Hahaha! @ the same time, guess i hav bcome lazy, less motivated n selfish ba. Haiz....

ORD due soon like no more things 2 worry abt rite? But u r wrong. The top nw veri gd liao but bottom starts 2 giv us trouble liao. Havin the mindset of "ATEC over liao can b defiant liao" Muz realli make me use tis unpleasant quote "Atec over liao big fuck ar!" 2 make them move. Wah sometime it realli make me wonder who the fuck they are 2 tik liddat. Nw i dun give a damn liao no more mr nice guy liao. Last time we tolerated bcoz we knew tat if we dun treat them well, they will confirm come up wif MC or stunts 2 nt help us out in outfield or trng. Nw no more trng or outfield liao n our tolerance lvl has alreadi reached the max! If they cant behave like a 2nd yr soldier we will gladly use our mouth n brain 2 recommend or come up wif new stunts 2 let them wake up frm their fuckin ideas.

However the bottom got 2 grps of pple. Those who will obey instruction n those "ATEC over can wreck havoc" pple. Nw my plt faced wif a even difficult prob 2 resolve. Those who tik they r big fuck started 2 ostracise the one who always help us out n do the right thingunder the leadership of the biggest fuck among them. Tat guy veri sad nw dunno wad 2 do oso. He feels tat if he wan 2 pacify others n b a big fuck he will b goin against his consious. S his sgt i oso dunno hw 2 help him out. He hav 2 go thru tis bcoz of us yet we cant realli help him out... Tis type of thing i realli @ my wit's ends. Hw r u goin 2 make me go n make the biggest fuck nt 2 hate the victim. Hatred is something veri hard 2 get rid frm 1 person heart. Hw r u goin 2 make the victim apologise 2 the biggest fuck tat he did 2 much of gd things so s 2 pacify the big fuck. I can order them 2 b friendly 2 him but deep inside their heart, do u tik they will do it when i m nt arnd... Haiz any1 can help? Some of the bottom r realli a pain in the ass. Nvr fail 2 provide trouble n nvr b satisfied wif the no of offs n benefits they hav. 2 them they dun care hw much u hav done 4 them but they will make a fuss when u ask them 2 do something, nt takin into account tat we had helped them n rewarded so many time. Surprisingly, some of them r quite highly educated wan. Tik all the values n characters they had learnt in sch hav gone dwn the drain. By hooks or by crooks, justice muz b meted out 2 them.

1 wk of blk leave tis comin wk. Time 4 me 2 swim n run n gym liao. Has nt been doin tat 4 quite a while liao. Guess i hav bcome fat liao. Dunno y alot of pple askin me 2 go taiwan wif them. But very sorry coz i had alreadi long made plans wif my fellow tank specs 2 go taiwan after we ord n dun tik i hav much $$$ 2 go 4 another trip. Recently my atm card kena eaten by atm nw no $$ cant realli go anywhere until my card comes. Ha i alreadi kena kb by my class guys 4 nt organisin class outin liao. So class outin any1 04s72 pple?

2007-07-06T18:35:00.000+08:00

Eh quite a while never update blog liao. Bo bian lar hor quite busy recently haha. In these few wks went outfield once n den got to prep all the things 4 the so called "army graduation examination" ATEC. Haiz...

Durin the last outfield last mission, i was tikin in abt an hr time i will b headin back 2 camp after my last mission. Haiz 2 my surprise durin my last mission my veh final drive n sprocket wheel dropped out n my tank cld nt move. Wad a total turn off! Ended up waitin n waitin 4 recovery veh 2 come. Wah when they came they asked me 2 strip the track in2 4 track links per sect. Strip until i wan 2 die den got 2 carry those heavy things up veh 2 b towed back....... The best part had yet 2 come.

When towin back camp one side of the rd wheel got stuck in 1 of the drain n the recovery veh pulled n pulled super hard. Pulled until tat rd wheel bcame out of position. Up there win liao another fault.... By the time i got back, night fell n still got lot of items 2 dismount frm the veh.... Totally kanasai!

Luckily durin last 2 wks all the so called gone case devastating faults r gone n my tank finally can move again. Heng ar. Durin ATEC tolong such incident dont happen again....

Durin tis 2 wks got quite a no of coy cohesions 2 boost our morale 2 ATEC nxt mon. One is whole coy go marina south play bowling. Quite fun lar but bowlin realli nt my cup of tea lar. @ least didnt help the pple there clean the drain so often.

Another cohesion is watch performance by SAF music cultural drama centre n other performance by other coy pple. Not bad lar. Wah daren n kwan siong really up there. Haha when got those clubbin music durin the mcds, they like those dang kees machiam go in2 trance esp kwan siong sing n almost dancin @ the same time. Daren wont do tat lar bcoz @ tat time no .......... lar Haha.

Last but nt least my coy cmmders went eat sakura buffet @ jurong west stadium. Wah realli alot of food 2 eat sia. Eat until i almost puke. 2 bad every1 nt sitin @ the same table or else it will b more fun. Ha oc realli like daren n like 2 comment on him. Bcoz of oc n wei xuan's comment daren bcome merlion... Girls r innocent until they meet Daren...

Stage 2 nxt mon liao. Finish liao left wif nothing much until ORD. Can start 2 take off. Shiok sia. Ha provided i survived nxt wk ordeal... Anw all the best every1 4 nxt wk ATEC. We hav been prepin n trainin so hard 4 tat. Hopefully i wont suffer ani wreackage of tank again...

Last Few Wks

2007-06-09T10:06:00.000+08:00

Pai sei quite long nvr update blog. Tired n nt realli recovered frm my illness. Dunno y i keep havin headaches after some trng onli. Mayb is i juz recovered den nt enuff slp ba. Nvr update oso kena kaobei update things oso kena kaobei. Dwn there liao lar!

The few wks i can describe by usin 3 words- ATEC STAGE 1. Almost everyday train all the drills, tryin 2 drill them in2 our mind. 2 much of drillin no wonder i got headache haha. ATEC is the so called "up there" event in ure NSF life. After tis u can so called declared ORD Liao. Since the beginin a unit is wrkin 4 gd result in ATEC. Gd result reflects tat we can defend spore well n tis result may affect some pple's career but definitely nt NSF like me.

Durin the stage 1 1st day, we got an outstandin event which make every1 nervous. It is like a Toto draw but the winners of the draw some mayb happy while some nt quite. ATEC umpires will randomly choose 1 pple or 1 crew 2 test their various skills. I tik i struck the 1st prize of the tank plts- tank crew drills. I got 2 go outfield n put the special SAF facelift-Camo cream 2 execute drills whereas the other drills can juz stay @ camp 2 do wif no SAF SKII. I seldom win in lucky draw but tis time i FINALLY did! Although i noe my PC recommend me 2 tis drill 2 those ATEC pple, i still havin the hope of gettin another drill. Tis little hope slowly diminishes n i like wad daren says bcome a dwn there dog....

Ok lar durin tat day my score nt bad lar arnd 91/100 despite i camo my tank wif net exceedin 20s... @ least tis score can contribute 2 the battalion entire score. Our score was a quite high redcon 1 for the entire ATEC stage 1. Nxt we still got the stage 2 comin up...

Thru tis prep n trng 4 ATEC, i oso bcome gradually more pissed wif 1 of the spore future prospect scholar. Oh i tik i overly praised him. Undoubtedly yes u r a scholar but ure attitude n ure character r total disgrace to the term "scholar" bestowed 2 u. Everytime onli noe hw come up wif excuses n avoid tis n tat , fake tis n tat. Dun help out n when there is a reward, nvr fail 2 reap the big harvest... Tik u scholar big deal rite. Nvm i will make sure the rewards r fair 2 others who do their part. A piece of advice: GO STANDBY WHATEVER SHIELD OR ARMOUR OR OTHER COVERS U CAN FIND COZ U WILL DEFINITELY BE RAINED BY MILLIONS OF RAPID ARROWS TAT WILL DARKEN URE DAY SUCH TAT U CANT C N RUN AWAY FROM!

Anw tis few wks finally hav chance 2 catch wif my class 4 a steamboat dinner @ marina bay which i heard goin 2 close dwn soon due 2 the IR ba. The food nt bad lar n @ the same time can catch up wif one another on hw they r doin. Suay suay tat day oso stumbled upon my coy specs eatin steamboat there. Thx 2 Huifang n weichen buyin a cake 2 celebrate my belated bday n alv early bday. Pai sei cant finish the cake n realli thx 4 the so called cannot extinguish candles. After tat went ktv wif jm, alv, kahhong, hm, hweepeng n yizhi. The place quite cheap xcept got alot of hun kee bee.

Yawn tis few wks quite sian n tired n suay oso. Tik the song boston by augustana on the left realli suits my feelings. Stage 2 comin up. Kambate pple!

High Fever

2007-05-21T12:39:00.000+08:00

Haiz nw i m restin @ hme due 2 high fever. 38.7 deg celsius. My record high temp. 2 make it worse i was bitten by mosquitoes last wk durin outfield n was suspected of dengue fever if any rashes occur. I got mc frm 2day until 2ml... Nw my temp is still 38.2. Tis realli made me even worry.

Bcoz of me fallin sick, 2day got 2 find pple 2 take over my coy duty sgt den 2ml got 2 get another person take over my cmplx guard duty 2ml. Bcoz of me fallin sick, i skipped 2day crew drill evaluation n my agts evaluation n 2ml further evaluation n trngin 4 ATEC stage 1. Bcoz of me fallin sick, my crew may hav 2 stay back 4 remedial trng on tis comin sat. Furthermore, tis fri i got 2 go 4 cmbat shoot safety spec until quite late den come back den sat got 2 stay 4 RT n tis sat is veri impt 2 me n i dun wanna lose it 2 RT. Bcoz of me fallin sick, i sabohed choon siang alone 2 take the plt 4 tis 2 hectic days s mingze nw in ps course... Bcoz of all tis, i realli feelin veri frail n depressed... Wad a disappointed i had been...

Nw my temp haven realli subsided. If tis prob carried on or got rashes, 2ml i got 2 c doc again 4 blood test 4 dengue. Haiz if i got dengue i will saboh my battalion even more. Not enuff tank spec 4 stage 1 bcoz of my mc 4 dengue... Haiz...

Off Off Off

2007-05-04T19:03:00.000+08:00

Tis wk n last wk were slacked. Tik i spent 50% of the time outside camp. Hahaha. Off Off off! Like wad Daren like 2 say, "Up there." Last wk mon 2 wed enjoy myself slackin @ hme. Thurs go back suay suay kena CO parade. Wah i almost kena xtras n staff parade 4 my long hair @ the back of my head. Fri the best go rd march. I abt 1 yr nvr go 4 rd march since sispec s tankie dun dismount wan. Ha tank die i oso die no need 2 dismount. Tis time rnd better nt FBO but SBO. But hor the irony of the day is they find a short person 2 b the coy flag bearer wif ks n gabriel n unfortunately the person is me. Tat day a short person like me almost kena struck by lightning all thx 2 the flag. Wah tat day i was totally drenched frm top 2 bottom due 2 the rain. The onli time i m so drenched will b durin washin veh.

Sun cos. Wah wkend cos realli veri slack. Go back camp use the mess play pool watch tv use the com eat slp. Hweva if ure coy got confinees tat's diff liao. Confirm got sai kang 4 them 2 do n end up the cos has 2 ensure. Sadly 2 say i got confinees. But tat day they were asked 2 clear the drain n pick up big dried palm leaves. @ least tis tasks r understandable wan. Here comes a realli boliao task. They r supposed 2 clear the weeds growin out frm the carpet grass n they oso dunno which type of plants r considered weeds while which r nt.

Tis type of tasks 2 me seem quite unreasonable. If u dun wan 2 c weeds, in the 1st place shld hav put weedkillers wad. I realli dun c the meanin of doin tis type of unreasonable tasks. Is just like the sweepin up of dried leaves @ the bottom of trees. The leaves r 2 provide leaf litter 4 some creatures n @ the same time 2 provide nutrients 2 the trees when they decompose. Worst u sweep 2day 2ml there will still b dried leaves dropped frm the trees. By lookin @ the opportunity cost, sweepin up is like a total waste of time n manpwr n goin against the nature cycle. Everyday time used 2 do tis can b utilised 2 do other things. Sweep up the leaves 2 wayang 2 look nice is quite dumb. Army camps who come n c tis... I dunno lar tis type of meaningless thing ask men go n do oso hard 2 convince them s i oso dun c ani reason doin it.

Yes some things got 2 b done means got 2 b done but still hav 2 look @ them whether they r practical ar nt. I tik i ask them go wash toilet s a punishment they wont complain much s pple use it dirty got 2 clean they will understand wan. 4 the dried leaves n weeds growin out of carpet grass patch hw? Yes remove the weeds liao but who noes birds might come shit again n their shit got weed seeds. This is nature n it is inevitable leaves will drop n weeds will grow. It is just the matter of time. Sometime cannot blame the BOS coz these r things they do nt wan oso but instruction frm the upper management 2 b complied wif. Fine if they wan us 2 do such things, @ least explain 2 us the meanin of doin it such tat we can xplain 2 the men when they ask us. Haiz....

Mon 42 SAR battalion family day. Went yishun safra play games. Participated in the water games n made a fool out of myself canoein a rubber float boat in circles. Super lao kui. Ha end up lion coy won the family day overall challenge troophy n i ended up havin sunburn s well. Wah didnt noe ipod accessories so ex those manufacturers realli veri smart sia... Lbr day noon time went CDC 2 visit aik joon coz he kena malaria. Poor guy! Can hav fever up 2 40 deg celsius daily. C him oso he dun hav much energy 2 tok 2 us. Later @ nite went 2 watch spiderman 3 wif jeremy. Quite gd movies n got meaningful quotes like "In order 2 forgive others, you got 2 forgive ureself." Tik the spiderman sequel of movies is the best of the other superheroes movies s most of them nt only the plot n effects were gd, there were oso alot of meaninful quotes used in the movies.

Wed 2 2day went aloha loyang chalet wif lion coy cmmders. Ha go there play soccer, ps2 n mahjong like siao. 1st nite even got movie marathon. But the 2 shows i alreadi watched b4 liao which r 300 n letters frm Iwo Jima. Wah 1st nite 2 much pple so not much place 2 slp after the disappointin man utd-milan match. I slpt in the position machaim i prayin 2 te gong. The mahjong session quite interestin. We play veri healthy mahjong. Haha every fan 1 push up. Gan 1 push up An Gan 2 push up.

So fast slack finish the wks liao got 2 start wrk nxt wk liao. So fast may liao. So fast 1 yr 4 mths liao. So fast time flies. Half a yr 2 go 2 ord n my taiwan trip. Haiz till nw lookin back @ the past 19yrs i had. Tik sec sch n jc life is the best times i ever hav. 2 bad cant go back n relive the life again n correct the mistakes tat i made n regretted until tis day... Haiz my left wrist after the soc test has been givin mi prob up till nw. Tik the comin wk i will go c the mo ba!

Battalion Prof Test

2007-04-21T20:57:00.000+08:00

Eh abt 2 wks nvr blog liao. Time 2 update update abit. Eh tis few wks still ok lar. Last wk was the battalion prof test which the whole battalion go outfield. 4D3N. Eh tis time rnd force myself 2 eat more durin the outfield. The battalion oso nt bad few nites provide us wif 100 plus n redbull 2 drink.

Tis time outfield shld b alright wan if there r no mosquitoes. They r super irritatin esp @ nite. After a hard day, finally i can sit dwn n take a rest in the crammed up tank. Just s i was slpin "eeeeeeeeeeeee!" 2pid mosquitoes flew here n there. Cant even slp got 2 sweep them away. Super annoyin. The best thing is they coz u 2 slap ureself. When they flew near my face, on my mind i juz wan 2 smash them n juz heck care n wack. End up wackin my face but sometime heng will kill them.

Got once one flew near my ear n i juz swept it. Guess where it went. Wah it went in2 my ear n the sound it made inside was the most irritatin wan. Thx 2 this "up there" mosquito it caused me 2 hav blood lust. Instead of slpin i used my map n juz wack the hell out of them. Wah my whole body got more than 50 bites. Tik they 4G commando mosquito can even bite thru my thick coverall n underwear on my butt... Wonder hw the NTU pple survive wan. Tat mosquito infested trng area is quite near 2 ntu side.

Ha nw no more outfield until june n july. 2 more outfields left before i can realli ORD mood. Tis time rnd the whole coy of spec were told tat our performance tis outfield was gd. Ha all of us were relieved n happy 2 hear tat. After all our hard wrk, it 's realli nice 2 hear tat our effort didnt go all the way dwn the drain. Realli tat's all we asked for.

Quite fast half a yr in lion coy. Realli noe the men n their styles n chao kuan. Tik the specs hav blended well 2gether xcept my "gd fren" coz onli noe hw 2 conduct meetin in his bunk n juggle balls like clowns in circus. Ha heng my coy AI specs dun discriminate the tankee specs like me although they always like 2 say AI is AI tankee is tankee. Nw i got new nickname liao. They call me woodstock, the 2pid yellow bird in snoopy. Reason is my hair like tat bird. NO LINK RITE? Say my hair like porcupine when wet or peng peng when i woke up more like tat bird.

Tis wk i went 4 the SOC test . Tis time rnd got 2 clear wif sar21. Sian last time i used carbine 2 clear wan nw got 2 change. But heng i passed tat test n i no longer got 2 take SOC again. Can c frm the timin my fitness is deteoriatin liao. Haiz in unit nt much trngin unlike sch n sgts like us most of the time got 2 help out wif the conduct of soc trng where got time 2 train. Nw left wif ippt 2 clear my 2nd yr gold. Tis time rnd got 2 clear the 4s barrier n my board jump barrier...

Fucked up..........

2007-04-05T21:50:00.000+08:00

Tis wk is quite short 4 me. Quite suay sun i got 2 go back in the mornin 2 do guard 2ic duty. Can say realli zho bo ji gi lan. Mon tues did prep on tank 2 prepare 4 nxt wk outfield. Wed i clear off n thurs got coy off. Sounds shiok rite. But 2 me tis 2 days were realli frustratin, got 2 face n work wif fucked up pple.

Till nw, my frens n i had been puttin up wif 1 of our so called "gd fren" wif higher rank than us. Initially he still got something 2 do wan but still will nvr fail 2 juz disappear when there were wrk 2 b done. @ the same time he like nvr help us out when we faced with difficulties or probs. The best he cld do is ask us hw 2 solve the prob or suddenly provide a prob 4 us 2 resolve. Wah clap clap!!! BRAVO BRAVO!

Recently, his something 2 do bcame our things 2 do liao. Tik nw he can juz everyday stay in bunk n slp all he wan while we slog like hell outside. Still, problem nvr fail 2 come frm him n solution seldom or nvr come frm him. Super fucked up. Fuckin thick skinned dun feel pai sei wan. Cant imagine 3 3rd sgts doin his fuckin jobs. If liddat i tik we shld recommend tat his pay n rank split among the 3 of us 4 doin his fuckin shit wrkload. Honestly i tik he is realli redundant in the coy muz s well fuck off n let more capable pple 2 do his things. Heng @ least my PC is gd n veri capable.

Men ar men ar some r gd while some r realli fucked up. Tik they 2nd yr soldiers big fuck ar. Dun wan 2 follow instruction, like 2 smoke out or always hiong. Realli fuckin chibye. Realli testin our patience. Treat them well giv them welfare they took us 4 granted. Nvr tik hw the old specs treat them n hw we treat them. Realli 身在福中不知福. Fuckin hell when they realli push me over the limit, realli goin 2 make them suffer like wad i went thru in sispec. Always noe hw 2 tik abt themselves but nt 4 others. Haiz

Looks like tis blog is dedicated 2 those fucked up persons in my coy. Knnccb 2 them!

Hosei ar! 4D3N outfield comin up nxt wk. Pls dun rain durin tat period.

wad a wk

2007-03-23T23:05:00.000+08:00

Haiz tis few wks wad 2 expect. Quite low morale. Heng got quite a no of wonderful specs n buddies in Lion coy go thru tis shit wif me. Rite? Haha. The worse of all is the strings of unlucky things tat happen...

Last wk i took my 2nd yr ippt test. The happy thing is i tyco tyco clear my standin board jump 2 gold std despite my jump nt quite accurate oso. 1 leg behind the other abit thus behind 234 but the neutral nvr say anithing. Hweva my 2.4 run later is 9.48. Missed by 4 s 2 my gold award. Wad a big disappointment! 4 s....

Den tis wk went outfield for tank trng. Everything was fine until i was movin frm 1 trngin area 2 another. @ tat time, 2 b tactical durin war, tank got 2 hug the corner(means stick close 2 the corner while turnin) so as 2 prevent exposin 2 much of the body 2 any ambushin unit near the corner. @ tat time, i was doin tat.

Suddenly the tank juz lost ctrl n drift 2 the right. Within sec the tank was stuck in a ditch n the left side of the tank sank in2 soft mud due 2 heavy rain. The right side of the tank is much higher than the left side. The veh was slanted more than 60 deg n i fear it might overturn anitime. I immediately called 4 help.

@ tat moment, i was reallii stunned. The incident realli happened too fast n there was not much time 4 me 2 react if the veh juz overturned. I wld b the 1st 2 fly out when the veh overturned. @ tat sec, my life is realli hangin by tat moment. There's alot of things unaccomplished, waitin 4 me 2 do. I realli 不甘心 2 die liddat. @ tat time, i was worried abt my driver n gunner. Wad if got anithing happen 2 them, hw m i goin 2 tell their parents. All tis qns n feelins keep runnin thru my mind while i was in the tank doin my tank overturnin drill while waitin 4 help...

Soon help came n slowly evacuated me n my crew. @ tat time i was still dazed while the rest was tryin 2 tow the tank out of the ditch. Haiz tat's the 2nd time i escaped frm tank almost overturn. In overseas trng, durin live firin, my tank lost ctrl n reverse dwn a steep slope on its own. Heng it stopped upon reachin the bottom of the slope. If the tank steered abit along the slope, the tank wld hav juz overturn throwin me out.

After an hr, the tank is towed out finally. Lookin @ the deep ditch n soft mud it was realli traumatisin. Haiz... The consolation of tis incident is tat the tank didnt throw tracks or else i wld hav 2 assemble the tracks b4 i can move the tank again. Everything was alright nothing went missing.

Till nw, i realli wondered my such luck will last until when. There will definitely b 1 day when i wont hav such luck 2 逢凶化吉. Tis reminds me of a fortune teller who told my parents tat tis yr my luck wont b gd n i muz b careful with my head. He predicted tat i may suffer a head injury tis time which might land me in coma. S my parents ask him abt hw 2 avoid, he juz tell them 2 leave everything 2 fate. Whoe noes i maybe a living example of the movie Final Destination...

The jialat wk

2007-03-03T01:17:00.000+08:00

Morale low low low thou tis wk i cleared my icct in 1 try w/o being required 2 redo techniques. Despite of tis, performance is still deemed s "pathetic". Tis is nt the 1st time in which u put in efforts n yet unappreciated n sometimes worst get scolded unreasonably. On the other hand, if u did something wrong, irregardless 0f ure gd efforts, no second chance u will get punished severely.

In addition, when we wrk, we will wrk hard. When there's time 2 play we play hard. How can we mix the time 4 us 2 play wif wrk. If liddat will we ever giv ourselves 2 relax frm all the wrks. There muz b a distinct line between wrk n play @ certain situations. Imagine u bring a grp of ure cca students 2 Sentosa 4 some gathering. Hweva @ Sentosa, u made them go trainin 4 an incomin biathlon. Hw will they feel?

Haiz nxt wk my beginin of my so called 18th level of hell. I sometimes bcome veri sian liao. Frm nw on more things will b comin in. Just cant stop tikin abt them. Haiz i realli wrong time wrong place. Feel like givin up by dwngrade PES but cant bring myself 2 do it. Escapin away frm the prob is nt an option. Besides i will cause other pple 2 share my wrkload. Every1 alreadi got so much 2 do liao. By sharin mine they will hav even more 2 handle esp mingze n choon siang.

Nw plus the things mention @ the 1st paragraph realli make me less n less motivated.. Realli nothing 2 look 4ward 2 xcept 4 my every fri bkout. Ha if liddat i tik i got 2 attend counsellin liao... Haiz i m realli an incapable cmmder.

5 days of outfield

2007-02-09T12:18:00.000+08:00

Wah juz came back frm 5 days of outfield. Long time nvr go such a long outfield liao. Such long outfield was durin my bmtc period ba. Tired but enjoyable wif a lot of funny things happen. Ha tat 5 days i nvr bathe n i nvr change my coverall plus underwear. I onli got wipe my face wif wet tissue plus powder bathe on 1 of the days. 2 make it worse, every mornin got 2 put new camo cream on my already dirty face. Imagine the layer of camo cream stock up on my face. My face gone liao lar. Haha. Disgustin rite? Bobian i m a soldier. Haha.

5 days of outfield= mosquitoes bites + alvin help my tank cross river + sight seeing + eatin canned food + getting chased by attack helicopters + little slp + master the art of stand n slp + choppin alot of trees dwn + crew bonding

Wah tis 5 days the mosquitoes keep swarmin me. Nw i tik i got more than 50 bites all over my body... Super itchy. Durin tis 5 days i alreadi derived the schedule of mosquitoes strike. They will apear durin 6-9am den take a break. Abt 4pm onwards until 5am the attack will commence non-stop.

Durin tis 5 days on the tank i realli went sightseein. Cross quite a number of reservoirs n c alot of diff animals n insects. The views r veri nice. Nvr hav expected such places still exist in Singapore but such places r nt open 2 members frm the public 2 visit. Ha too bad rite...

Durin the 1st day of my mission i saw some1 i noe veri long. Ha it was sir alvin carryin a m16 holdin a clipboard walkin 2wards my tank. Ha he still recognised me wif my face covered wif camo cream. While waitin 4 the raft 2 cross river, he tok cock wif me. Alreadi 1 mth nvr c my class guys liao. Pai sei. Soon the raft came n he guided my veh up 2 raft n byebye. C u in chi new yr ba.

Nw i realli hate seein Apache attack helicopter. They like keep hauntin me thru out my 5 days. Sometimes i even mixed up the sound of my engine runnin wif the hoverin sound of the apache. Wif their speed, maneuvre ability n firepwr n the limitation of my tank 2 engage air tgts, i m completely vulnearable 2 apache. Everytime c them or hear them i got 2 drive in2 vegetation n hide 2 avoid detection. It was my 1st time exp seein an Apache flyin close 2 me on 1 of the days. 2 bad jm nt involved in the exe or else can ask him help me shoot dwn the apache. Haha.

My slpin hrs durin the 5 day i tik is less than 24hrs. The worse thing i dun hav the comfort of sitin dwn n slp. S a tank commander i got 2 stand thru out the move n there is no seat 4 me 2 sit. Ha heng i small size @ least sometimes still can c on the plate i standin 2 slp. But i almost every nite got 2 man the comms sys in case of sudden enemy infilration. Sometime i got 2 do sentry which i means i got 2 xpose myself confirm got 2 stand. Tat's y i mastered the art of standin n slpin. Act is nt master is u 2 tired no matter wad position u will juz doze off. Haha. Den i realise when u stand n slp rite until a certain ure left or right leg will sudden give way. Got 1 nite worse both legs gave way n i fell 2 the bottom of the turret. Heng nvr injured myself.

Tis 5 days oso enable me 2 bond wif my driver n gunner more. We brought along alot of canned food n put on the tank 2 eat n shared wif 1 another. Ha we ate spiced pork cube, vegetarian canned abalone, gui ling gao, tuna, jelly, bread. Ha they even offered 2 cook me cup noodles. Got time we will tok cock abt our sch, our family n our frens. Everyday we got 2 take parang go chop dwn trees 2 camouflage our tank such tat it blend well in2 the vegetation. Feel bad choppin so many tree durin tis 5 days. They oso got lives wan but i bobian or else the apache will easily detect me.

2 wrapped up the 5 days of outfield, we got a bbq celebration last nite. We ate n drank. The food was veri nice. 2wards the end the men started splashin beer or water @ every1. Bloody hell my men started 2 catch mz, me n cs 2 splash water. Mingze the best. Normally pple catch n want 2 splash water pple will shout oei my hp. But 4 him, he shouted oei my notebook. Hahaha.

Outfield- goin thru it can b tough but lookin back @ it it is juz another enjoyable outfield. Tis time i sort of suit myself 2 outfield can slp less n eat less n noes wad 2 do when situation arises. Lion company - Firm n Fiery. 42 SAR- The Cuttin Edge.

ATP shoot

2007-01-29T15:10:00.000+08:00

Wah heng last thurs i pass my atp shoot. 20/40. Right on the dot or else i will hav 2 burn my 3rd of chi new yr 2 go 4 reshoot. Sian coming fri got 2 go 4 7 days outfield exercise... Wad an exe 2 hav b4 chi new yr... Haiz dunno wad 2 say. Still tik my life nw realli veri boring... n quite aimlessly...

Haiz still way 2 go

2007-01-19T16:49:00.000+08:00

Jan can say is a slackin mth 4 me. Nothing much 4 me xcept doin more duties due 2 the AIs r busy n got 2 do things like static tank display 4 pple. Ha i was the presenter 4 the old sm1 tank. Got 2 tell pple abt the tank n its capability. The most 2pid thing is alot of pple look @ my build say i m the driver of the tank instead of the commander.

Life in 42 sar so far so gd lar. Still got abt 6 mths 2 my unit evaluation test. Nw i noe quite alot of the specs in my coy includin those AI. Haha we can play arnd n joke arnd n kb the same thing everyday in bunk b4 we slp. Wif my superiors i can onli say so far so gd xcept 4 some1 lar. U always dunno wad they hav install 4 u anytime. Sadly my PC is leavin n a new pc has alreadi come in. The new PC same age s us n love 2 play sports. Ha nxt time he can help us organise game play among the plt.

Here comes the main prob- the men. 4 my plt, most of them r ok lar xcept sometime can b quite bo dua bo xui(mei da mei xiao) den let me kan or i will kou ga ri gan(let dog gan). 4 the other plts, super jialat until got even heavenly kings appear sia. While on duties i oso got 2 encounter them. They r super jialat sia. U 2 harsh on them they will play punk on u. U use soft approach they will eat u alive. Solution-strike a balance between soft n harsh. Wah i can tell u tis is machaim the element of yin n yang balance super chim.

Nwadays my wkend is either go out play lan, play pool or eat... Haiz tik realli waste alot of $$. Occassionally will go swimmin or gymin. Last time i can go everywk wan but nw juz dunno y i cant afford the time.

Abt 10 mths 2 ORD. Wad 2 do after tat? Wrk s wad? Learn drivin? Study wad in uni? Tik it's time 4 me 2 sit dwn n plan wad 2 do.

Poor army life

2006-12-31T14:06:00.000+08:00

Tik my blog is dyin liao. Quite a while nvr update liao. Haiz nw my life realli sux lar esp in camp. Life in army unit compare 2 life in army school n life in civilian school is like hell, earth n heaven respectively. Cmmder lifestyle can b gd or bad. The decidin factor ultimately lie on your superiors. Ha dunno the new 2LT has enjoyed their life yet!

S a 3rd sgt u r the lowest life form in the commander hierachy. Hence, u will kena a lot of arrows. I tik i suffer more than archilles. He kena on the heel onli wheareas i kena like siao. He got the term achilles' heel. Wad abt me? Some arrows i dun mind doin wan some is like xtra wrkload which is meaningless but yet still wan u 2 do. S a 3rd sgt it is all abt the word ENSURE. U got 2 ensure tis or tat... If nt, gt anithing happen, they will juz ask u tis qns after u try 2 xplain ureself machaim like u answerin 2 a chi emperor, fearin the slightest error u make can kena send 2 chop head. "Y u nvr ENSURE!" Tat's it. Utterly speechless. Go sign xtra duties- more wkends burn. Like wad Bon Jovi says, it's my life...

2 make things worst, my gd pc is leavin liao. Sigh dunno hw the NSF new pc will treat us. Hope tat he dun treat my frens n i like wad 1 of the superior is doin. He always like 2 giv us problems 2 solve n nvr offer solutions wan. N the best thing is he do veri minimal thing nvr even bother 2 help while we slog like sai kang warriors. He onli noes hw 2 slack even my men oso dun like him. They almost revolt on 1 of the day. The worst thing is the problems always come @ the very last min n giv u veri little time 2 solve n den face the music. Haiz due 2 him, i face stress which i nvr even xperience b4. He nvr plan n tell u wad 2 do straightaway. He likes 2 wait 4 me finish all the tasks den throw u new tasks again. Wah got 1 time i realli feel like punchin his face. The most relief thing is tat i got 2 fren wif me 2 go thru his tyranny.

Tis few wks quite ok lar. S'pore goin 2 get Leopard 2 tanks but 2 bad i cant learn abt it. Those pple learnin it nxt yr so shiok can go germany 2 learn. Anw tik nxt yr i may hav chance 2 go on "holiday" 2 some of the ang moh countries. @ our battalion christmas celebration manage 2 take photo wif chew sin huey the project superstar female runner-up. 42 invited her over 4 our celebration. After tat life can b quite slack wan w/o all those sai kang. Worse nw i m on the duty of defend s'pore 24/7 until the 2nd wk of Jan. Sian 1/2.

So fast 1 yr liao. Another 11 mth 2 go. Anw happy new yr every1 n hope everything turn out fine 4 every1 nxt yr!

Almost 2 mths in 42 SAR

42SAR 5th n 6th wk

2006-11-19T18:14:00.000+08:00

Last last wk wk was my 1st outfield cmbt team mission. Tues evenin we moved out n stopped @ a place 4 laager n set up camo net. Wah my men like go 4 picnic brought alot of canned food such s pork cubes n tibbits 2 eat. I diff i outfield no appetite 2 eat wan such tat i can survive on 2 packets of biscuits 4 1 meal. Wonder hw they got their appetite 2 eat. Den we rested n slpt inside the tank. Wah the tank super cramped up but ha i still ended up slpin in it.

3am i moved out wif my tank plt 2 an objective 2 provide support based fire. On the other hand the AIs includin sgts got 2 dismount n do abt 5 km of bashin 2 enemy objective. My AI bunkmate, Darren told me they even hav 2 cross drain up 2 knee lvl. Ha heng i no need 2 dismount. On the obj, i got 2 go help my men chop tree n leaves 2 camo the tank. The shitty CB leave super useless 1hr den withered liao defeat the purpose of camoing the tank liao. It is called CB leaf bcoz it looks like .....

Thruout tank plt quite slack. We nvr dismount but we juz park somewhere 2 guard axis or provide support based firing. We dun even need 2 dig shellscrape unlike our AI frens. But when went back 2 wash tank, S & maintenance plus cleanin of weapon we r @ disadvantage due 2 the lack of manpwr. Tat wk fri we got 2 go outfield again 4 42 SAR operational ready parade.

Sat i went sim lim sq 2 get my psp 4 abt 400 wif some modifiders plus accessories. Nw i regret gettin a 1gb mem stick which can onli put a bit of games onli. End up i got another 2 gb mem stick s well. Dumb rite? Went kbox wif my army frens plus play LAN. Nxt day i almost got sore throat n flu but after restin bcame ok liao. Anw thx alot jeremy 4 the lunch n liang teh.

Tis wk quite slack lar n tat's y our pc allowed us 2 clear leave. mz mon n tues, cs wed n thurs while me take fri. Hwevea, tis wk got alot of physical trng. Let's start wif the monday cmder trng. Tat's the killer. SBJ across parade sq 2 n fro, Shuttle run across parade sq 2 n fro, human wheel barrow 2 n fro across half parade sq, bridge plus runnnin arnd parade sq. After 1 rnd of such circuit alot of us r dyin liao. Frm tat day onwards our legs ache like siao.

Tues our pc conducted PT. Tis time rnd nt so jialat but due 2 the prev day 1 my leg really goin 2 crumple liao. After tat play frisbee wif my men, pc n ps. 1 time frisbee dropped 5 push ups. Wah i record holder 4 tat day, did abt 200 plus of pushups n i realli dunno y i cant catch properly... But some throws r realli 2 high 4 me lar... Wed battalion run n i suay suay kena demostrator 4 warm up, static wrkup n cooldwn. Need 2 stand on table n show pple all the exercises despite my achin legs... Thurs best the whole coy bked out @ 1 liddat 2 go 4 half day off while i can juz go n enjoy my leave until monday. Haha!

Sigh last wk i almost get my frens in2 trouble 4 my wrong decision. I covered up my gunner's serious offence n asked my frens 2 help me out in hidin it frm my ps. I dunno whether i m helpin him ar nt by doin tis but i juz wan 2 let it b the 1st n last warnin 2 him. Dunno y ps got a witness n kept askin us whether we got c the incident. Heng my frens all say no n he was nt persistent in continue checkin. If he is persistent, i tik i will get myself in2 dip shit n draggin along my frens in s well... Sigh 2pid rite made such decision 2 saboh my fren. Nw hope tat my gunner will understand n appreaciate our help.

Up till nw my decision makin is still like shit. Dun tok abt army, in my normal civilian life oso. Always tik 2 much which affect me frm makin a firm decision. I hav 2 admit tat i scare 2 fail or i m quite 好胜 which oso affects my decision makin. Things i ought 2 do n things i ought 2 give i eventually nvr do it. Bcoz of tis pple might tik tat i m a bastard or i 忘恩负义 which i tik i realli am... Den end up lamentin n regrettin in silence. Haiz tok abt change... by the time i change 2 late liao.

Nxt wk got outfield hopefully i can clear my leave ba.

42 SAR 4th wk

2006-11-05T15:17:00.000+08:00

Sian starts tis wk wif cmbat team live firing. Drive here fire den move 2 another place fire. Sian got 2 do 1 dry rnds wif blanks b4 the real one. Sian my tank realli like shit. Fire 1 HE rnd cannot fire due 2 the firin mechanism cocked up. Overall the live firin is a success. Go back super sian wash all 4 tanks plus svcin plus cleanin of arms. By the time we finished it is 1am liao n the AIs hav alreadi bathed.

Tues is svcin day 4 our man. Hweva poor mingze kena arrowed 2 do a 3m stand 4 mountin of boresight board. He golden bayonet everytime always kena such things wan. Aiya so i decided 2 help him out leavin CS 2 supervise the men s he is the PDS tat day. Tat nite those prev commander came back 4 some ord party. Haiz i c alreadi oso sian 1 more yr 2 go 2 ORD. C them so carefree while i m tied dwn wif all regulations n duties n responsibilities.

Wed our men clear leave until thurs. Hweva we got 2 stay 4 some cmmder leadership trngin. Walau eh when can i clear finish my leave? But end up cmmder trngin is some trngin 4 AIs abt their bionix2 none of our business. End up mingze went some wargamin thing in PLC while me n CS got 2 bring men 2 PLC IMT on wed n ATP live range on thurs. Wah the AI men super jialat. Mornin fall in late nvm. Some still need me 2 go up n ask them fall in. I super angry tat day such tat i scolded them n almost gave them mornin PT b4 they go IMT. My tankie men nvr even giv me ani prob until nw. So far i still Mr Nice Guy haven knocked pple dwn yet. IMT super borin they like play free arcade game shootin sar21 n SAW while i sit there n observe. I like 5 mths nvr touch these weapons liao xcept 4 carbine hw u xpect me 2 teach them... I oso found some time 2 meet up wif my bro 2 talk cock n ask him buy snicker 4 me s his ATEC camp is juz behind IMT.

Thurs go live range b safety spec. Super xiong got 2 do rundwn wif those shootin ATP. In the mornin is zeroin of weapon. After they shoot 4 rnds @ 100m, got 2 run 2 tgt board 2 c n run back 2 help them click their weapon such their rnds will land @ the centre of tgt. I tik in the mornin i ran abt 4km liao. Super shagged. Heng my pc came n brought me back 2 camp 4 some navi exe on rover. Heng is tat i no need 2 b safety spec until 12am but suay coz my driver is my OC.

Although my sir asked me 2 b clearance spec, i still hav 2 rotate b safety spec due 2 the limited no of specs available. Super sian. Rundwn again. Tat day marked my 1st knock it dwn. 1 AI man dropped his rifle n still can smile @ me. My first instinct is oei carry on 20. This type of cock up is not pardonable. Tat day i oso spent time interact wif my tankie men n asked them wad they wan 2 do after ORD plus talkin cock. Ha most of them wan 2 carry on wif their poly or uni which is gd lar. The most funny thing is they ask me wan 2 go clubbin lor. I asked them whether i looked like those who go clubbin. They all say yes. WTH! b4 they bk out i conduct stand by area plus 2IC of the coy checked all their cupboards. Wah tik nxt time i will stand by cupboard alot liao.

Sian 2day the 3 cmmders includin me made a 2pid mistake in boresightin the main gun so end up got 2 redo. We gave the wrong procedure 2 them 2 boresight in the beginin so end up we tik we shld go redo ourselves ba despite alot of pple say mon @ the range we will do boresight again. Hweva i tik do nw better than wait until tat day 2 do. @ least tat day got 2 adjust abit onli if there is ani prob. We ended up doin durin the evenin. When the men were back frm dinner, i told them abt wad i was doin @ the vehicle shed n asked them 2 touch up their area n informed me when they r goin 2 bk out.

Upon tellin tat, quite a no of them offer 2 change 2 long 4 2 go dwn n help us out. Wah i was quite surprised n touched by tat. We onli noe 1 another 1 day onli n yet they r willin 2 help out. Realli grateful 2 last batch sgt 2 train them so well. End up i say no n ask them 2 prepare 2 bk out. They hav done their part accordin 2 our instructions in the mornin liao. Shld nt make them amend mistakes nt caused by them. Hw will u feel when some pple use his authority 2 ask u do things again juz bcoz of mistakes tat u nvr commit?

Sgt liao! Mon back 2 gedong camp ATI 2 clear up the place n return all the things n most imptly get 2 noe where i will b posted 2. Sian helped 2 return optic n signal items n realised got 2 pay up 4 quite a no of items. Soon afternoon came along wif the postin. Sian i was posted 2 42 Singapore Armour Regiment in which i had 2 take 10mths old soldiers who tend 2 b more rebellous. At the same time, 42 SAR is an active unit liao which will b veri busy. Anw 42 SAR is still in gedong camp. Haiz cant escape frm the clutch of tis ulu camp...

Sigh my gd buddy Jeremy goin 41 SAR which i wanted 2 go coz take fresh new recruits easier than takin 10 mths soldiers n somemore he goin oso. Tokin abt him, ha he is the 笨蛋 who will nvr fail 2 help his frens, always tik 4 others n worst treat his frens non-stop until i oso buay tahan got 2 come up wif ways 2 stuff $$ back 2 him. The best thing abt 41 is it is 5 min wlk frm yew tee mrt. Haiz both of us quite unhappy of the postin but 天底下没有不散的宴席. Sort of make a deal of comin out wkly 2 update one another hw we r doin in diff unit. Ha tik i will hav more stories 2 tell abt my men n the ops n hectic schedule we will b goin thru. @ 5pm, i sadly left ATI wif all the fond recollections of my tank leader trainee life here n bid gdbye 2 those goin 41 SAR. 18 wks n all the bonds we had i was veri sad deep dwn my heart but i keep puttin a brave front. Ha everytime 都逞强!

Soon went 2 our bunk n settle dwn. Heng pple went wif me i oso noe quite well wan except ...... Haha shld noe who ba. Got 2 go thru 2 wks induction prog until nxt fri den noe which company we will get posted 2. Nw sgt life quite gd liao. No need 2 march frm place 2 place, can go canteen anitime, free 2 do anithin when u r free, pple greet u. Ha slpin hrs increase oso. Last wk almost everyday got nites off either go Lot1 or JP. PCs n CSMs n RSM realli treat us well oso. The food there veri nice lar. But obvious lar Chief Armour Officer's office there wad.

Nxt wk juz hope tat my postin will b gd ba. So far my army postings so far r so disappointin. Things i dun wan yet i still kena. @ the same time, hope tat my driver n gunner r gd n cooperative wif me. In 42, there's a mixture of A lvl, Poly, Olvl, N lvl or lower educated pple arnd. So got 2 c ure luck of gettin the pple. However, normally tankie man will b the better ones. Accordin 2 my luck, i tik i will kena the worst again....

Wkend spent time goin out frm my frens. Fri went arcade wif chok n jeremy. Waste $$ on tat 2pid world cmbat machine. Worst i lost my timezone vip card. Must b some1 5 finger discount on my card. Sat went back SA wif andy, weehon, jm n alv. Met up wif all my cca teachers n civics tutors. Haiz Mr Lim JL went la kopi wif us @ the nearby kopitiam n told us the plight he suffered. Nxt yr he will b @ NUS high sch teachin liao. S usual, c ms lee i will confirm kb her wan but she updated me alot abt Fitness n the sch. Mr Lim CS informed me abt the yr end camp n hoped tat the seniors can come back help him. Hopefully we can apply leave n help wif the camp.

After tat went town jalan jalan n ate @ the food republic @ wisma. Erm the fried hokkien noodle plus the bbq chicken wing r veri nice. Den rush back 2 cwp 2 watch death note wif jeremy. A veri nice show wif a veri gd plot. 2 bad it is nt the end of the show yet s there will b sequel. Sian dunno when den come out.

Last wk den came back frm my holiday. The trip was fun. Wah the weather was everchangin n almost got typhoon. @ nite super coolin. Realli learn alot of things frm tat trip. 香鸡排 plus bubble tea is always there. Hwever i tik the 香鸡排 nt so special instead i like the deep fried chicken skin. Ha my frens said it was sinful 2 eat due 2 the oil content. Add chilli pwder in2 it wif 甜不辣 plus honey milk tea is realli a sumptous supper liao. Taiwan veri environmental frenly everywhere got recycle bin n all the rubbish got 2 sort out accordinly. Got 2 pay 4 plastic bag somemore. The fastfd restaurant no chilli sauce n got 2 clear ure own tray b4 u go. Alot of food store along the streets eat until u song. Ha the gers there quite sweet n chio but they sort of follow the japan fashion trend. 2 bad nvr get 1 2 b my penpal. Haha.

1st day went 小人国. It is a place wif a lot miniature places of interest all arnd the wrld. Haha some of my coursemate bastard n wld say: Oh eric finally go 2 his hmeland. Inside there got a small themepark in which we took the indoor roller coaster. Erm tis is sort of the prelude of the nxt place we goin 2. Along the way we bought some taiwan tai yang bin 4 my family. Afternoon went 六福村 a bigger theme park. Tis time rnd we went 4 the screamin condor which a ride tat go up n dwn in a direction of U shape. Quite shiok. Ha both me n jeremy scream like siao. @ nite, we went ximen ding(sort of taiwan orchard rd) 2 shop. Along the way, i tried the taiwan sausage wif 麻辣酱 n the 盐水鸡 super nice. But tat nite got 1 siao auntie grabbed me by hand 4 no reason wah i faster zhao. Muz b those recommend prostitute ba. After tat went back hotel but nvr did i expect i concuss so fast. Ha keep sayin some dreamwords until jeremy buay tahan.

2nd day went Ye liu 2 c the coastal rocks there n we took alot of photos there. Den we watched dolphin performance. Ha veri nice n the dolphins r veri cute. Heng my fren got took some of the footages. If u all wan i can send u. Wah den the seals n acrobat performance realli made me doze off. Tat place oso famous 4 its seashells prdts, dried seafood which i ended up buyin 鱼松 4 my mum. @ nite, we went shih lin nite mkt. Wah realli a lot of food n alot of things 2 buy frm the nite market. The teppanyaki quite cheap 1 meat 1 fish plus vege onli cost S$10 onli.

3rd day free n easy. Mornin went 2 taiwan SOGO 2 shop but nothin much 2 buy. The word SOGO alreadi suggest tat liao. But the svc is veri gd. Imagine when the departmental store open n u take the escalator up every lvl, u c all the staffs there line up 2 lines n say gd mornin welcome 2 SOGO. The funniest thing is the lift got female attendant 2 help u press the buttons n inform u which floor got wad categories of items. Sian we went back 2 ximen ding 2 get some items we didnt get the other time. Heng we stumbled upon a shop which sold levis jeans. The price was much cheaper than spore until i tot it's fake. My fren verify it n the shop owner oso xplain tat she bought the jeans in US n brought back 2 sell tat's y the price will b cheaper than the rest. Since it is nt fake, i got a 501 4 abt S$90 onli which is much cheaper than spore one. Tat day we almost saw jolin cai but 2 bad alot of crowd n cameramen end up cant c anithing. The other side got cyndi wang doin advertisement. Given a choice between jolin n cyndi, who will u choose 2 go 2 c? Ha confirm jolin cai wan.

After tat hme sweet hme back 2 spore. If got chance, i wld definitely go back 2 taiwan wan. Came back 1 wk den POP liao. Nw i m a tank cmmder, 3SG Eric Lim but nw still dunno which unit i will get posted 2. Mon bk in den noe n straight away report 2 my new unit. Fast rite. Hopefully go 41 SAR ba.

Tis wk quite fast. 3 days onli den i m out of the camp liao. Nw slack until fri nite 10pm reach airport 4 flight. Sian the flight 1.40am dun hav much time 2 slp oso. Tis few days nothing @ camp spent most of the time paintin tank 4 our POP in 1 mth time n pack all the things n equipments required. Nw on paper i m a 3rd sergeant alreadi but hav 2 wait 4 the POP 2 put on the 3SGT rank. Basically, i m a 3SGT wearin a corporal rank.

After postponin n postponin, tis tues we finally had our happy hr. Ha tis time rnd the food quite sumptuous. Got prawn, chicken wing, siew mai, fishball, roast duck, fried wanton. The faccilities @ the mess nt bad still got a quite updated karaoke sys wif updated playlist. Thx 2 jason's idea, we played the got hair no hair game which realli test ure reaction. After tat, eat+singin thruout.By right, shld b followed by a series of games n activities. But by left, c them enjoy singin so juz let them sing lor. Despite my plannin was screwed up, i was glad tat alot of pple enjoyed themselves. Everything turned out well xcept tat i 4got 2 take the trays back n caused chok 2 get scolded.

Yesterday veri rush. Got 2 attend all those briefin abt security n flight administration thing n kit inspection. The attire 2 wear 2 airport is formal lor. We were like huh wtf! S usual got safety brief. Tok abt insect or snake bite, heat disorders. Ha tis time rnd the MO focuse alot abt STDs. Kept showin photos of those affected penis. Wah imagine taiwan sausage wif cauliflower or blisters growin on it plus keep passin out white or yellow cream machiam got cheese. Haha gross rite? Still got take hme msg: No matter hw great the temptation is, DUN try it! Quite an irony. They said liddat still give us condoms when we go overseas. Some said 2 contain water in case of emergency (1 condom=1 litres of water) while some said let u go there b chicken king. No matter wad, 1 nite of fun n pleasure= no more nite of fun n pleasure juz bcoz of u havin STDs worth it ar nt? Ha i m nt a veggie lover so i wld nt wish 2 grow some mushrm or cauliflower on taiwan sausage.

After bkout we chiong straight 2 新旺香港茶餐厅 2 eat again. Tis time rnd charles nvr go but choon siang went wif us instead. Again, he cant resist the french toast melt inside his mouth. Haha! Tis time rnd we ate until each 1 got 2 pay 20 bucks again. Ha after tat kept tokin n scoldin 1 person like wad we always did everyday. Haha!

Sian nw haven changed my currency yet n cut my hair. Ha my cse got pple went 2 cut botak super funny lar. But tik i juz cut high slope ba. Nw the rates shld b quite gd ba if i nvr hear wrongly 1 sing dollar=20.6 NT. Tik i xchangin 300 sing 1st ba. Quite funny rite. Last few mths, keep lookin 4ward 2 but until recently, quite sian n dun feel like goin liao. Flip thru the schedule n feel tat the trainin seems quite short, 1 wk live firin, 1 wk of battle courses, den 27-29 R n R in taipei. Anw our R n R mayb in tai nan if the demostration of ah bian is still on until den. But still sian lar. 3 wks in overseas. definitely will miss my family n miss goin out wif my frens on wkends. Tik i got 2 squeeze alot of gifts in2 my kit bag n civi bag 2 bring back 4 them. Last blog b4 i go . C u pple in oct. Take care n all the best ba!

Haiz 4 my SOC test, durin mon trial i ran 8.16 with my rifle stuck 2 my SBO. Ha i was slingin the rifle thruout the entire trial test.

On the actual test on wed, tis time rnd my rifle didnt get stuck. Upon reachin the last obstacle, i jumped dwn n ran. Suddenly, master don saw me n started 2 pace me. Got his fav crew mingze he dun wan 2 pace he came pace me. Sian tis time rnd i finished 8.25 worse than my trial... Den master don told me the portion below my eyes is bleedin. No wonder he pace wif me lar. Tik i must hav let the rifle zham my face when i was slingin the rifle. Wad a suay day! Gdbye 2 best PT award liao. Nw hope tat hsein yeow will win it 4 our course instead of lettin the Bah-Yi in AISL win it.

Yesterday s jason suggest chok, jeremy, mz, charles, jiaji, n me took cab 2 marina sq 2 eat 新旺香港茶餐厅. Wah the cab fare abt $30 lar. The queue was super long. Ha we realli felt like takin out all our dirty uniform out confirm got seat liao. Soon our turn n we started 2 realise our long queue is worth it. We looked @ the menu we like children liddat lar. Haha 我要吃这个! 我要吃这个! The 1st dish was the chicken curry. Once the nonya curry enter our mouth, we were like kena lightning struck n almost ended up like a volcano just erupted. Super nice! Like those homemade type. U wont understand until u try. Den came the french toast. One bite enuff 2 send us flyin 2 moon liao. i oso dunno hw 2 describe it. We were like those pple in 妙手小厨师 anime. Wah here wah there 很好吃! Keep eatin n orderin.

The milk tea, spag, baked rice, ice kacang, curry, noodle, dumplings esp pastries veri veri nice n the prices r quite reasonable. Tis is the 1st time i eat until so high in the restaurant. We were tikin like after NS, we came here 2 wrk n learn hw 2 cook their food. Haha after taiwan trip, we confirm will go there again.

Veri fast 6 more days 2 taiwan. Hopefully by wed can go hme n let us rest @ hme until fri den go airport ba.

Slack wk xcept 4 the 3 SOC trngin. Physically n mentally strainin. Mon starts off wif SOC in the mornin. Wah i cant blieve it. The front 700m run i was pantin like siao. Nvr run until so tired b4. 2 my horror, i cant even clear my lo wall n lo rope 1st try. Timin 2 words can described onli. F up. 11 min plus. 1 wk of outfield plus fatigue caused my timin frm 8.32 2 11 plus. Ended up kena scolded 4 nt puttin in effort. Haiz i alreadi tried my best liao almost puke out my brkfast. i oso human nt robot can always maintain myself in tip top form.

Tues trainin 4 tis sun AHM. Run 6k timin nt bad. After tat had lect den afternoon svc tank 2 prepare 4 handin over. Finally no need 2 touch the tank liao. Wed SOC again. Did quite a no of run dwn timin wise 8.59. Ok lar got improved frm the prev 1. Tat day shiok got nites off. Went JP 2 eat n play arcade. Thurs lect the entire day until evenin. Wah tis wk i super tired s fatigue started 2 build up. Normally durin lect, i seldom slp wan. But tis time rnd it was clear that i realli KO! After tat went vehicle shed 2 paint tank. Sian 3 person per tank. Spent 2 hrs plus we onli painted 1 side of tracks 4 4 tanks onli.

2day mornin SOC again. Sian tis time rnd my timin bcame 9.15. Cant blieve sometimes things can b so unreasonable once u do something wrong. I was tgted once n once again 4 nt achievin timing which i shld achieve. No matter wad, he wld juz say it is gd 2 c pple puttin effort but it is realli disappointin 2 c pple without fightin spirit... The worst of all is he went 2 check my water bottles n asked y it was empty. He promised us tat after the 2nd SOC run dwn, those who pass the timin wont hav 2 do again. So i passed the 2nd run n started drinkin water frm my bottles. Surprisely he nvr keep his promise n make us do again. In the end he checked my bottle. I told him i drank the water onli after my 2nd run. Siao i nvr meet his xpectation he like quite unreasonable n say i lack integrity. Wth! u nvr keep ure promise still say i no integrity...

Realli spoil my day. Gettin insulted 4 no reason. Nxt wk trial test i will make sure i run a gd timin 2 show him. Tis wk my body is realli tired after the outfield somemore the last wkend i nvr rest well which leads 2 such poor performance. @ the same time, i was nt the onli 1 whose timin is droppin. Of all y he chose me. I oso wan 2 fite 4 my best timin but tis time rnd my body condition forbid. Last time i kept pushin n train hard 4 my 2.4 timin n he saw tat. Nw bcoz of a unintentional drop in timin, he juz let it off @ me. Suay ar!

Mon 2 wed do the same thing. Wake up early, do BOS, den start wif the single tank battle course. It is like doin circuit trngin. They set up various tgts along the route of travel. All u hav 2 do is 2 command ure driver 2 drive along the route n when encounter the tgt, give command 2 ure gunner 2 execute all the drill. Crew RPG on fire! We day time do tis nite time oso do tis. @ the same time, within a crew, we will rotate 2 b driver, gunner n cmmder. So end up waitin alot. Quite slack 4 outfield compare 2 last time infantry realli chiong sua sia

@ nite end the day wif weapon cleanin n AOS. Wad a killer combo! We ended up slpin veri late almost everyday n woke up early. Ha outfield quite funny wan. Dunno is it bcoz of the lack of slp or wad. A lot of pple is like shut dwn includin me. Dun hav mood 2 talk cock or crack joke. Our conversation is realli cut 2 realli abt the single tank battle course. U eat liao? Hw's ure run? Whose turn liao? Need help? Later do wad?...etc lar.

My dad oso nt so 忘本. 30 yrs liao still nvr fail 2 visit his ex-fiancee.

After tat meet up wif tat turtle in beach rd 2 buy his stuffs n go play pool wif him @ the concourse. Hope he is doin well in brunei forest nw. After tat went hme slack until bk in timing. Look @ the national day parade realli makes me look 4ward 2 my POP parade which is due in 2 mths time. Hopefully i can win something in my course n make my parents proud on tat day. Guess by nw alex, stanley, andy n yuqiang has gotten 3 stripes liao. Ha alex get posted 2 gedong camp s signal spec so suay. 1 yr plus in tis camp he sure complain wan.

Thursday we got change of command parade 2 get busy. Heng my course no need 2 b part of marchin contingent which oso means we will b the sai gang party. Set up, arrange chair, put up banners... Ha warrant see asked me 2 go help him wif his stuffs. We go carry instructor chair, mount on bionix, 40/50 n tank den go wrkshop modified the chair. Heng he got rover or else we walk here walk there wif tat chair confirm die. After tat he asked me 2 b his camera cam go SOC runnin grnd 2 take photos of the various stations. Sian lookin @ the stations it reminds me of my SOC run the nxt day. After tat, went back 2 office 2 help him do the map of SOC runnin route plus medical evacuation route. Almost half day in the office wif air con. Haha slack rite?

Despite helpin him, he will make fun of me, keep usin some funny hokkien terms 2 ask me wad it means. Nw he always c me he will say gong gong ( which means dumb dumb).... After tat i joined others @ the parade s spectators n look @ those poor AI marchin.

Fri mornin SOC run. Heng warrant low offered the challenge who run below 8.45 no need 2 do 2nd rnd. Wah i was like dun reserve energy n just push on n run. The last stretch of run is the most horrible n tirin. It all depends on ure mentality @ tat time liao. Ha last time b4 NS, my bro told me SOC xiong i wld laff @ it coz i nvr tik tat the SBO n rifle will realli affect ure runnin. Tis time rnd i set my personal SOC record. 8.32. Veri delighted. Hopefully by the test my timin can go under 8. After tat run, always liddat wan not enuff of slp my head super giddy. Worst headache i ever had. Worst still, the sirs still asked me 2 go practice my lo-rope coz i got up the top by mere arm strgth. They said if i got technique can cut the timin alot... But i tik if i use their technique i will fall frm the rope lor.

Yes u can command pple 2 do things but if cant meet the instructor timin, prepare 2 end up in knock dwn position until pple finish. Plannin n decision is the most impt. Tik my "decisions" will end me up wif signin myself 4 confinements ba. Ha nw can onli may the force b wif me ba!

9th n 10th wk

2006-08-09T16:00:00.000+08:00

Sian ji bua. Confinement wk plus 2 nites out. Wah super tiring sia. On monday rehearse 4 the ATI aniversary commissionary parade b4 the real thing in the evenin. Ha between noon 2 evenin we were slpin in bunk 2 so call conserve energy 4 parade. Heng tat parade is a success despite every1 stood on the parade sq onli looked 4ward 2 the mountin of vehicles 4 drive pass.

End of ippt phase but start of SOC. Wah wif 4 dummy mags + 2 full water bottle realli matters alot. After the 1st full run, i was pantin s if there is no tml liddat. Timin ok lar below 9 min. Siao warrant low tgt 4 me is below 8... My leg short run smaller steps some obstacles i req more time bcoz of my ht. Wah he best. He asks us go do 2nd rnd. The 2nd run i go lo wall is like i run run run den bang the wall cant cross... den 2 the swing trainer grab grab grab den drop. Hai demoralisin...

@ the same time tat wk spent time doin the last few lessons of crew drill. The most xiong 1 is the exit tank frm emergency hatch. But tis time rnd small size does help. Ha i was like makin my way thru the passage smoothly without any obstacles. Wed we had our crew drill test. Sian some of the stations did well while some like shit. Worst is i failed my crew drill knowledge test. Byebye 2 my hope of gettin tis course best knowledge award...

But wed it ends off with a nites off. S usual head dwn 2 jp n eat. Ha ended up in arcade playin the throwin bball game wif jeremy, mingze n jason. Crazy rite we like spent abt $20 plus altogether on tat game.

Den frm thurs 2 sat spent most of the time doin preparation of tanks 4 live range. Super hot n tiring inside the tank. Wearin the coverall in the tank doin svcin is like sauna. Sian the diff between us frm AI is manpwr. They got 11 pple 2 do svcin while we onli got 3 pple 2 do the entire tank wif same no of rd wheels s them but bigger gun n more weapons 2 clean. Washin of vehicle is worst... Ha but tankies dun dismount unlike AIs.

Sat noon they released us 4 half day off. Sian i dun feel like goin hme end up wif mingze n jason lookin 4 place 2 go 2. Initially say wan go town but end up go JP. Wah we like everytime go jp already quite sian liao. Ha tat day dunno wad happen 2 us 2pid n cock until still wan 2 go there. Ended up playin LAN n check my wk e-mails oso.

Sun live range. Wah we woke up @ 4.45 n had roti prata 4 breakfast. Thx 2 ws allow me 2 drive the tank 2 the live range durin the day or else if i drive nite i tik the vehicle will overturn. Tat day i broke my record again. Ha i drove up 2 40km/h but act against TSR liao. Convoy max spd is 30km/h. Ha i made it 2 the live range site unscatched includin the tank. Quite confident of my drivin liao.

After settin up all the barang barang time 2 start the firin. I wad the 2nd detail so we put on our ear plug n wait. Bang! Walau eh quite loud n the shockwave realli got shock us a bit. Dunno whether pple in jurong area can hear ar nt. Soon my turn liao. I do cmmder 1st while ws do gunner. After givin cmmd 2 fire, i stand by my bino. Bang! Wah lau eh i almost lost my balance s the tank swing backward n 4ward instantly due 2 the recoil plus counter recoil effect. My turn 2 b gunner liao. I m supposed 2 shoot @ 2 oil drums joined 2gether which form 91. 1st rnd i shot until 1 of the oil drum gone i tot i hit liao but ended up the ctrl say no n ask me 2 shoot @ the other oil drum standin. Bingo! When u fire the rnd @ the gunner side, super shiok got some breeze brush against thru when the gun fire. Sian but my mg firin juz made it n the nite tank shoot i bobo shooter missed...

Nw the most funny thing abt my actual day shoot. Durin AAR, my course com said he observed thru bino my rnd tat my 1st rnd projectile juz scrape the top part of 1 oil drum but the high spd coz the oil drum 2 topple n the real explosions came in when the rnd landed @ the wall behind the oil drum. Ha i kan tyco lor. Tat day we concluded our range quite late arnd 3 plus in the mornin den end. Super tirin n the worst thing is nxt day 7 plus got 2 do mg svcin n tank svcin until nite 9pm plus. Durin tat few days upon reachin the bed the moment i lied dwn on the bed n open eyes mornin liao.

I suay durin the svcin. WS helped me get some rags 4 me 2 pull thru main gun. Ended up no rags but got used socks so bobian i used it. S the course cmmder walked past me n saw me usin socks. He was like shocked n laff @ it.
Course Com: Ha wad the fuck u used sock 2 pull thru main gun.
Course Com: Ar nvm lar u knock it dwn 10 lar. Ought 2 respect the main gun
I: ....Permission 2 carry on sir! 1........10
I always kena tis type of suay punishment. Once i yawned durin cool dwn exe, my head giddy no oxygen so tend 2 yawn lor. Course com saw n
Course Com: Wah u nt tired still can yawn. Nvm u knock it dwn 30 lar. U bloody jo-nass!
I: ....Permission 2 carry on sir! 1........30
Course Com: Heard tat ure SBJ nt gd do 10 more tuck jump...
Suay rite... Yawn oso kena n he asked me knock it jokinly. Tik in tis course i kena the most of such suay punishments frm various instructors n sir... I joke oso kena.

Wah i had guard duty last nite. Do prowlin but heng got slp a bit in between my shifts. Nw still quite tired tik i go slp liao. Later 1130pm den bk in. Ha course com so gd give us longer break.

After tat chinup i happy n did until 19 den stop followed by the 2.4km. Wah i super high morale until i cleared the run @ 8.49. Another highlight of the day. I broke my 9 min record. Tat day i realli super happy. Until 2day, i oso veri happy. Ha my bunkmates say i realli like siao or kena possessed suddenly bcome so happy n keep smilin. In the afternoon despite doin maintenance, i oso super happy. The so far yet so near feelin is gone. A great relief. The best thing is s my cse of 22 pple got 15 pple got gold tat day, we had nites off. We went JP eat bento box 2 eat.

Super gao wei thruout the parade, i keep drinkin my own blood until the end.

Anw the parade shiok. @ the end of it, we all go mount vehicles 2 depart frm the parade sq instead of infantry, march out of parade sq. I went mount the bronco(the vehicle which looks like mrt).

6 mths in army

2006-07-02T19:10:00.000+08:00

Veri fast 6 mths in army liao. Frm bmt 2 sispec nw 2 ATI, really get 2 noe alot of frens. N thru stress n diff situation i oso get 2 c other pple's true colour n mine s well. Quite amazed by hw some pple can realli b like.

4 me, sometimes i can cope well n wrk wif it. Sometimes, durin stress, i just let my temper get ahead of me n always end up being apologetic 4 nt toleratin.

6 mths my hokkien improves quite a bit but @ the xpense of my chi n eng. Hweva both my eng n chi still can make it. Vulgarities needless 2 say go super high esp in camp. All the colourful words nvr fail 2 come out frm my mouth in camp. Hopefully out of camp i will use less of them ba.

Multi-taskin plus decisive is a requirement 4 tank commander. Ha up till nw dun tik i m up 2 std yet. Always anything or s usual. All the "what if". Cant help myself n always end up tikin 2 much. Who noes after tis course, i may bcome a decisive commander in army but in my personal life, i fail 2 make impt decision 4 myself juz like now.

In some aspects i can do well n xcel while 4 some, i juz get stucked. Wan 2 do something abt it but end up dunno y nvr do anything or dunno wad 2 do. Dun wan 2 screw things up but always end screwin things up. All the self-reflection i hav n resolution i come up i nvr apply in2 my life...

Let history repeat itself again? Haiz when will i ever wake up? Or i juz continue runnin away frm it n 埋头苦干 in army everything juz happy go lucky.

4th wk in ATI

2006-06-30T23:18:00.000+08:00

Ha tis wk is the best so far. Gunnery phase always end up wif early RO @ 7pm n canteen breaks. Hweva the start of tis wk trngin is frkleg trning which realli caused our leg 2 get..... We did interval trnin followed by the killer circuit trngin where i kena the sbj trnin prog. If u wan 2 improve ure runnin timin n stamina or do intensive cardio exe i suggest u try tis out. u do 800m under 3min15s den rest 4 3min15s. Do tis 4 @ least 4 sets. i gurantee plus chop u can get gold timin. Sian nxt wk upgrade 2 3x1200m my leg gone case liao.

Tues 8km live run plus tactical handlin test 4 mg. Gunner strip mg! Gunner assemble mg!.......Pass all the tests n certified 2 go 4 live firing. The whole day take test n time realli flies. Dinner, RO n rojak den 3hrs slack den slp. Ha veri funny when no free time complain nw got so much free time oso complain. Sian tat 3 hrs end up studyin 4 theory tests or readin mags. Wan 2 call frens tok cock oso cannot coz they dun RO s early s me.

Wed the best even though mornin got frkleg trning. The entire mornin learnin day in which we learn abt y we wear black beret n den PC interview. Afternoon go cmputer rm self study main gun frm cmpter follow by NITE OFF. Tis is the 1st time i got nite off in my NS until nw. Ended up went my fren's condo there play street soccer wif my course mates. We r trnin 4 our instructor vs trainee match nxt wk. S usual i play right back. Shld b able 2 win ba coz our teams got quite a no of sch players plus most of the instructors quite old liao.

Thurs crew strip main gun. Heng nt strip the entire main gun frm the turret of the tank juz 1 part. But it is super dangerous s if we r nt careful we can kiss gdbye 2 our hand liao. 1st we practice usin a simultator nxt we practice inside a tank. Super hot s the ventilator fan nt switched on n inside super cramped. The worst of all is i kena zham by the spring effect of the cockin handle nw my arm still pain. Early RO den free time n slp.

Fri the best cmpter rm self study until bk out. Act got live run but due 2 the annual armour rd relay where all the armour units in spore will gather n run a relay competition. Ha nw like every bkout i will go wif my bunkmate 2 go arcade 2 chill out. Keep practicin our marksman by playin shootin game. Erm tis time rnd i got improve quite alot liao. Nt much shootin bird liao. Ha the most funny thing is we met 3 of our instructors in LOT1 n upon seein them, we mouth out hello sgt in front of pple. Ha make them pai sei.

Final wk on drivin phase

2006-06-23T23:13:00.000+08:00

The final outfield day of my 1st 2 mths in ATI. Day tank drivin test n nite tank drivin test. The most sian thing is b4 the test, it started 2 rain. 这次真的 ho seh liao! End up wif hav tank knowledge test 1st. Ha i find conductin officer 2 conduct my test n heng all the 5 qns he asked i can ans. 1 test dwn 2 more 2 go.

When CAT 1 is lifted, we started the drivin test. While waitin, i tried 2 recap all those mistakes i made durin the drivin practice. Sian the onli thing tat will nvr fail 2 come across my mind will b the bloody gullies. Super stressed n keep sweatin until sgt saw liao tot i got some pespiration prob n ask me water parade again. Goose fraba goose fraba... Breathe in breathe out... Worse than takin A lvl.

My turn... I climbed up the tank, passed the test bklet 2 the tester n wanted 2 go in2 the driver hatch. Wah i tot i saw some lao sai left by the prev driver. i was like wad the fish was tat! Cheh mud lar n i juz sat on it.

Instructor: Driver, start ure engine (machiam the daytona wan)
Den i juz voiced out the startin procedures n do s accordingly. After tat, i juz switch my helmet 2 intercom mode 4 easy communication wif the instructor standin @the cmmder hatch.
Instructor: u may proceed.

Once i started movin, dunno y nt so nervous liao. Tis time win liao i broke my record n travelled @ 30km/h 4 some while b4 hittin my 1st obstacle.
Instructor: Driver slw dwn! I dun wan 2 fly out of the cmmder hatch!
Wah super heng 1st few obstacles i cross smoothly despite the instructor askin me 2 slw dwn.

Finally reached the gullies. i stopped my tank n aligned my tank accordingly. @ tat time, i juz told myself juz fuck it n i stepped on the accelerator.
Instructor: Erm driver b careful hor! i dun wan 2 end up on newspaper 2ml instructor die bcoz of reckless driver drivin on gullies. I wld rather die in war than due 2 tis incident!
Me:......... totally speechless
1st three slopes up n dwn smoothly...Hweva the last 1. i accelerate upslope den release accelerator. hw come the tank nvr move dwn?
Instructor: Driver, wad the fish u doin? u tik u frm some circus, balancin a tank on the slope.

Upon hearin tat, i accelerate a bit den s the tank went dwn, i release accelerator 2 let it roll dwn smoothly. Just s i wanted 2 continue 2 the main rd, a Armour inf vehicles juz zoomed past n heng i zham brake or else i tik my instructor flew out liao.
Me: Fuck! (nt knowin my helmet @ intercom)
Instructor: U scold me ar?
Me: No sgt
Instructor: u fuckin cb. nvr c other vehicle comin ar. U realli wan me 2 die ar?
Me: ...No sgt (walau eh i no side mirror on the periscope hw 2 c whether got vehicle comin)

After tat, cross a few more obstacles smoothly n went back 2 startin pt.
Instructors: Erm still ok xcept 4 ure last gullies. Ure acceleration sometime like got shit stuck nt constant. Den u r nt wad alonso or wad marker(schumacher) lar dun travel so fast lar! (... last time say i slow nw say i 2 fast.)
Me: Yes sgt (Ctrlin my laffter)
Instructor: u got 60. Happy like bird u pass rite?
Wah i realli happy like bird upon hearin tat. After tat evenin nite drivin even better. Drove 1 small rnd w/o any obstacles n passed.

The nxt day got stripped rd wheel n tracks test. Tis 1 nt so jialat s drivin so i ended up passin. Den the funny thing happened:

Den he saw the tank no which is 21
Sgt: 2+1=3 okok trust u lar
Wah tat nite realli end up holland n arg zero zero. Tik he muz hav realli bought ba!

Finally drivin package over liao n i can hav license liao. Sian but got 2 wait 1 mth 4 them 2 issue u the license. Tokin abt tat, until nw i still haven got my black beret which they always say soon. Realli sick of wearin jockey cap liao. Tis wk got touched abit on gunnery phase liao. Learn abt machine gun n tactical handling. Most of the day spent "gunners strip MG or gunners assemble MG" in a designated time.

Tis wk oso heard some odd stories n bad news. My frens in the bunk bside mine kept complainin sometimes all of them will wake up @ 3.30 2gether. N one of them felt tat something is nt right n he told me he felt tat the place nt veri clean... Makin me more scared. Heng nw i nvr go toilet in the middle of the nite. The worst is durin my stay in ATI, i will spend my hungry ghost festival in the camp. S a welfare IC, i tik i wld suggest 2 my sgts tat we burn some offerings durin tat mth hopin tat nothin will happen durin tat mth. U can say i superstituous or wad lar. But better 2 believe than nt 2 lar. Somemore i can tell u tis do help.

The worst of all will b most of our live firin will b durin tat mth oso. One of our sgt said tat we will go 2 a range in jungle so called nt veri clean. Got quite a no of occurence b4. Got once he is leadin n guiding a gunner n driver in his tank 2 a place 2 shoot @ a tgt durin nite live firin. Suddenly the driver stopped n my sgt was quite amazed n thru com n kept askin the driver y he stopped thru com. Hweva the driver nvr say anithing. So my sgt alighted n went 2 ask him. My sgt was so shocked 2 c the driver face super pale. After tat live firin, the sgt asked the driver wad happend. The driver told him thru the night vision device while he was drivin close hatch, he saw 2 adult n 2 children wavin @ him near the tgt board. Hweva my sgt who nvr close hatch said he juz saw tgt board nothin else...

Tis wk i got new appt oso. Bcame welfare IC n 1st task is 2 do a proposal 4 a mini happy hr in camp on july. Got 2 form a committee oso. Heng got siang han n chok 2 help me. Nxt wk song goin simulator 2 play computer game n enjoy air con 4 gunnery phase. Haha. Nw got trning 4 army half marathon oso but sadly we r onli allowed 2 run 12 k coz we r 1st wk soldiers cannt run 21 k. Nw oso got intensive ippt trning 4 our course 2 achieve 70% gold. Nw got sgts 2 specially trn pple wk in board jump like me. Sian all of them pointed out tat my jumpin technique correct is i nvr jump high enuff. Bobian lar leg short is liddat wan. Nw shld realli focus on jumpin liao. Hopefully can get gold by nxt test.

2nd wk in ATI

2006-06-18T19:41:00.000+08:00

Tis wk commences my drivin phase. S a tank cmmder, got 2 go thru the roles of driver, gunner n lastly the cmmder. 1st day go there den teach us some basic things den let us juz drive the tank arnd the area. I super cocked up. When the drivin instructor asks me 2 move, i machiam like playin daytona juz zham the accelerator all the way in. Tis causes the tank 2 move veri oddly n resulted me 2 kena kan. Instructor: u siao ar Formula 1 racin is it?

Anw when the tank moves it is nt s stable s car s it tends 2 jerk here n there abit. Hence, i will drive @ abt 10-15km/hr n the max spd i drove b4 is 20km/hr 3rd gear. Nt much confidence oso so better drive slowly. Drivin @ high spd oso high chance of tank overturnin which can b lethal. Thus, we went thru some overturnin drills n go do the overturnin simulator. Wah i almost fly out of the simulator durin the simulation. The tank is quite hard 2 manuevre oso coz diff tank the steerin diff some easy 2 pull while some req alot of strgth.

Soon, we drive durin the nite oso n lastly we learn 2 drive thru obstacles. Sian my weakest obstacle will b the gullies which is consecutive slopes. We r supposed 2 drive up n dwn the gullies smoothly. The 1st time i drove realli cocked up. S i drove close hatch, my vision is dependent on the periscope which cover onli a small dist range. When i goes up the slope, i can onli c the sky so muz estimate when 2 release the accelerator n let the tank juz go dwn the slope smoothly. Hweva, i accelerate n estimate wrongly n release accelerator n the tank reverse back 2 the startin pt n i kena kan. The other time is i accelerate 2 much such tat it goes dwn the slope super fast which may result in an overturn w/o releasin the accelerator n again kena kan. After tryin a few more times, i improve lar but still nt much confidence oso.

While waitin 2 drive tank, we had directin of tank lessons or talk cock session. Ha got 1 time my fren n i super bored until we decided 2 find something 2 do. Den we spotted a dead lizard wif a lot of flies on it. My fren started 2 throw stones @ it n the flies will juz fly off. Ha every moment the flies flew off, my tat fren will scream s he is scared of flies n cockroaches n tat they will fly 2 him. Wah i cant blieve it! Despite of tat, he kept throwin stones whenever the flies fly back 2 the dead lizard n screams whenever the flies fly. Super funny n he says is super thrillin machiam watchin horror movie. After a while, i began 2 c ants carryin dead flies back. Haha i oso boliao so end up began throwin stones like my fren 2 c hw many flies i can kill.

Drivin tank is fun n ok 4 me lar xcept 4 the gullies. Hweva the maintenance is quite xiong lar 3 person do all the checkin plus oiling stuffs. Do until my whole coverall realli drenched wif sweat n the instructor saw liao asked me whether i got pespiration prob. Bobian c him got 2 water parade half water bottle.

Fri bk out den sat went out wif alex, jm, hm, n alv. @ the same time buy presents 4 alv n didnt noe he realli fall 4 our tricks when we asks him 2 help us choose clothes n cologne. Alex super happy coz mother went overseas den can anitime go hme. We shopped, ate, talked cock n ended the day @ kbox sang to our heart content. Den 2day went out wif my class pple 2 esplanade there 2 celebrate alv bday. Wah super tiring due 2 the italy vs usa match prev nite. Went arcade 2 play. Super sian. Play the cmbat shootin game wif hm, jm n alv. Dunno y my scores damn low. Den play daytona n loses 2 my pw grp members. tgpwol! haha! Bside tat quite enjoyed myself lar long time nvr play liao.

Sian got 2 bk in liao. 2ml still got drivin test 2 get my license. Nt realli hav alot of confidence esp the gullies. Hopefully can pass ba. Tis wk oso consult a master rgdin my bunk bed feng shui in the end turn out bad. Didnt noe such thing can happen 2 me. Juz hope tat i dun disturb it n it dun come n disturb me ba! Nxt bkout got 2 watch scary movie 4!

Den the guy there pass another lists wif less name. Wah heng ar my name was on it n he told me 2 wrds tat made me almost happy like bird(my new sgt fav phrase). Tank commander. Ha i nt armour infantry cmmder. Tank cmmder dun dismount frm tank n rd march. No more FBO no more shellscrape fire trench. SBO nw onli 4 soc nothing else. AI is still infantry n the onli diff between them n norm inf is tat they take vehicle 2 obj n nt rd march.

Hwever, my joy was shortlived. The sgts suddenly said out of 39 pple there, they will choose 27 pple onli. Thus, got 2 go thru cycle motor test 2 test our reaction n innate abilities 2 ctrl things. The test ok lar like playin arcade game. @ last, i m qualified 4 TCC. Nt wrk 4 The Coffee Connoisseur but go thru tank cmmder course. Ha veri funny we r oso called s tankies. Got some pple cock until call us dung kee who r those pple tat hav ability 2 get possessed by deities 2 solve supernat prob or giv 4D.

Nt bad TCC got alot of pple i noe. My sec sch fren like charles. Orion plt mate like ming ze, chan n xianghan. Echo plt mate like chok, chengwee. Lastly sa schmate like kelvin n weisheng who is oso my buddy. Bunkmate all veri funny n cooperative. Act everythin ok xcept 4 the bunk n toilet super dirty machiam 4 mths no pple clean. But heng i kena staircase cleaner. The most sian thing is the feng shui of my bed. When i slp, my leg face the door n my head face the window. If i nt wrong tis means tat i hav placed my leg in2 coffin n my head is abt 2 rise 2 heaven. Ultimate touchwood! Tik i goin 2 consult a geomancer 2 solve tis.

Tis wk got signal package. After tat package, got theory test. S'pore army realli 3G army. Theory test nw oso do on com. Super smart the sys. The person bside u will b doin diff qns frm s the qns will come out in random order. If u wrong n press ok, it will indicate u r wrong. The worst is 80% 2 pass. Heng i got studied lar but still got copied some n passed. If u fail, u will sign 4 xtra duty or get confinement. Anw 80% pass is a muz 4 all theory test frm nw on. Haiz in army still got 2 mug liao.

Tis wk oso got familarisation of tank. nt bad lar mount my trngin tank n learn the openin n closin of hatch, all the switches, wrkin procedures n mechanism of engine. Pai sei cant reveal 2 in depth coz the tank infos r oso considered classified. If i say 2 much confirm kena DB. Anw the most xiong thing abt tank is the maintenance part. 3 person got 2 clean, check oil, grease n oil the tank, check the tracks n suspension. Nw got 3 nw suits 2 wear when handlin tank. I tik it makes us look more like those painter paintin norm hdb blk walls.

We oso had co n oc openin add 2 tell us more abt the course. Ha our oc veri cool. He even laffs @ all those wif short hair s cpls liao, they shld keep long hair instead of shrt hair potrayin a typical rec look. Our course is the longest among the rest 2 get sgt rank. 18wks. Tis time shiok overseas go taiwan on 8/9 until 29/9. Finally can go taiwan eat those streetside food. If i nt wrong, Oct 8 den pop. Tis time the parade shiok. Less trainess wif big space which means i can get more tickets. Tis time rnd instead of marchin in we will b drivin our tanks in. Ha looks impressive.

He oso tells us the requirement of the course. Gettin 80% of all theory tests n prac tests. If nt got 2 recourse until gettin tat. 2 match wad last course did, 100% soc pass n 75% ippt gold. Lastly, integrity n gd attitude is oso impt. Tokin abt ippt, i had my ippt test tis morn. Finally get silver wif all 5 pts xcept sbj but runnin slower by 11s liao. Haiz i almost celebrate my silver lyin on the sick bay bed in medical centre. After the run, my head super giddy n after cool dwn, it was worst until i almost black out. Bobian i sound off n went c medic. Haiz over exert myself again coz after 4 rnd i start 2 feel unwell liao but 2 more rnds 2 go so i juz press on. Tot recover liao after some rest but in the afternoon after doin chin up regime the same old headache came back again. Is tis worth it? i oso nt sure abt the ans...

Anw my cse operates on a 5 day wk sia. Happy like bird. Hahaha. Nxt wk trngin realli starts 2 kick in liao. Entire wk on drivin tank n almost every mornin got spd trngin. Wif those trngin hopefully i get used 2 runnin n solve the headache prob. Nw got world cup but dunno y i dun hav the mood 2 watch oso. I wld rather spend time goin out than watchin world cup @ hme. Tis entry 2 long liao time 2 end liao.

We strike. We fite. We roll in day n nite. Armour Elites-Tankies!

Ubin Part 2

2006-06-04T14:26:00.000+08:00

Fri mornin woke up den got 2 rush dwn 2 beach rd 2 sew my cpl rank on all my uniforms. Heng my dad helped me bring hme the uniforms so tat i no need 2 bring them 2 ubin. After tat, took 2 frm lavender mrt 2 changi village. The trip quite long until i dozed off.

Woke up reached CV liao den boarded the bumbt 2 ubin. Nw the bike shop uncle recognised me liao so giv me $2 discount off the bike bill. Sian it was raining n i dun hav ani poncho but quite sian 4 me 2 stay alone @ the jetty waitin 4 the rain 2 stop so i juz cycled 2 noordin beach. I almost slipped @ a turn when i was brakin.

Joined the j2s n j1s 4 cycling session but ended up helpin ms lee n samuel 2 teach a j1 hw 2 bike. Act i juz learnt it last yr so i oso no face 2 teach them. Ha i juz provide words of encouragement 2 him onli. He super zai within 1 hr can ride liao. Unlike me tat time learn liao still go n crashed in2 pple walkin 2 times. 4 dinner quite pai sei i 1 person eat zi char while the rest eat canned food. Thus, i bought 2 cup noodles n tibbits 2 go back n eat wif them.

The campfire they had was very zai. The mcs, brandon n eugene realli did a gd job n entertained us alot. The j1s skit mostly veri funny esp the fantastic 4 wan. Super crap. Ha i become old, bcome grand senior liao. Despite tat, the j2s still keep sabohin me 4 the games. Nevertheless, i realli enjoyed myself n laff like siao lan wif kevin @ eugene's crap n boost of testerone. Ha the best of all will b the jerome's moan in the skit which sounds like....... Hahaha.

@ 1 plus set off 2 punai hut 4 solo nite walk. Due 2 lack of manpwr, i oso involved in the hidin in the vegetation near the junction 2 prevent pple walkin in2 the wrong trail. In army 习惯了 cover n concealment. Anw it is quite fun 2 c hw pple will do n react durin the solo walk thing. Tis batch most of the gers or guys will purposely wait 4 the guy or ger behind den walk the walk 2gether. Yes the guy did the right thing which is 2 help the frightened ger. Hwever, he broke the rule. No matter wad most probably all the guys wld hav done the same thing which is 2 help the gers ba.

After tat solo walk they did solo nite but tik it end up solo mornin. Coz by the time we settle every1 @ their location first light liao. Overall, the camp was well-planned n carried out pretty well. Xu kun realli did a fabulous job n nt 4gettin the rest who oso did a great job. Went back sch washed up n dozed off durin debriefin session.

In the evenin, my batch pple( jm huihan andy calista vicki n yen mei) came back 4 the dinner. 2 sum up tat evenin we had sharin session. Wah sadly 2 say my english realli super jialat liao nw realli one piece one piece. Ha i tik i will b more fluent wif hokkien, chi n vulgarities lor. End up still ok s they still understand my half eng half chi.

Thru out the camp the j1s kept askin me y i still come back 2 the ubin camp 2 suffer wif them. Ha my ans wld b i hav nothing 2 do @ hme. But ultimately i wld like 2 c hw the j2s r doin lar n hw the cca is goin. U all may say i siao or wad lar but if u ask most of the seniors, they wld oso b like me come back n help if they hav time. Guess it wld b due 2 the strong bonds we all had wif the cca ba. Realli missed the times we had fun durin trainin n camp n serious discussion in which every1 has the common objective which is 2 make the camp or cca more fun. Hopefully all of us can come back 4 the dec camp n tok cock n play bball.

2day my last civilian day. 1wk gone liao n back 2 army life. Shld hav utilise my time more. Still got thing i shld hav done but...... 真的是老毛病! 2ml got 2 report 2 gedong camp wif all the barang barang liao dunno whether i got 2 bkout tis wkend. Nw quite curious wad i will get in armour n hopefully get my brother's fren 2 b my sgt. Jialat my hair quite long liao hopefully let me cut outside nxt wk. Armour- Swift n decisive. Knights of valour. Ha dunno whether i live up 2 these phrases ar nt?

Ubin Part 1

2006-06-01T17:28:00.000+08:00

I really nothing 2 do so decided 2 go back ubin yesterday wif andy. Met up wif andy 4 lunch n stocked up food 4 ourselves, ms lee n the jnrs over there. Abt 2hr later reached tat island. nt bad $5 can get a bike overnite until nxt day evenin. Long time nvr ride bike tot i confirm peng san wan. Heng tis time rnd not much prob n ha i finally got the confidence 2 ride upslope, dwnslope n jungle terrain successfully.

Ubin realli nice place 2 cycle. Not alot of pple arnd somemore the rd quite easy 2 cycle wif some up n dwnslop 2 let u enjoy the breeze. The breeze is super relaxin, let u 4get alot of things n escape frm all the army regimental stuffs n problems tat u cant solve. Soon reached noordin beach n went 2 find my jnrs 2 talk cock. Soon ms lee came oso. Ha dunno y always liddat wan. When i meet up wif fitness pple, ms lee, seniors n nw the jnrs will jack me. Wah i last life duno owe them wad 2 deserve tat. Nvm they enjoy themselves i oso no comment.

Last light tat 2pid andy say he nt hungry so i got 2 wait 4 his belly 2 ask me go cycle 2 jetty 4 dinner. By the time he felt hungry 8 plus liao. Bloody hell super dark got 2 cycle jetty 4 dinner. Heng i got torchlight which can attach 2 the bike. The best thing is reach there the zi char closed liao but heng got 1 auntie sold instant noodle wif fishcake n vege. Aiya better than nothing n 2 bucks onli. After tat cycle back again. Honestly, bside the light, i was quite scared coz i saw 1 whole grp of wild boars juz charged out frm nowhere. The collision wif them wont b nice n i dun wan 2 end up nxt mon report wif a broken leg. Another thing is i go read up 2 much of paranormal things 2 scare myself liao. If i rmb correctly ubin is famous of flyin pontianak in the nite.

Upon reachin back, play bridge until 2 plus. Sian starhub super jialat @ noordin beach there no reception cant even call pple or sms pple. I just lay a piece of grndsheet n lied dwn. Cant slp so juz enjoy the night sky. The sky nt bad lar still can c some stars but cannot compare 2 tekong 1. Tekong sky is veri nice @ nite s u can c alot of stars sparklin n @ the same time can catch fireflies. But the ranger mosquitoes, ants n spiders spoil everything. The mosquitoes upgrade liao nt even scared of mosquito coil bite me like i some blood bank liddat. Tat nite i realli owin plus monster kill due 2 the no of ants n spiders i kill. If they nvr bite me they wont end up like pancake. Ha but mayb bcoz of their bites i may bcome some spider or antman. Ok not funny!

Mornin ate breads n went 4 cyclin a while until the j1s n my jnrs reached the campsite. Due 2 andy got 2 bk in 2nite in2 sispec n i got not much stuffs 2 stay overnite, so we left ubin. Wah super heng juz s we alighted the bumboat, it rained heavily. But 2ml got 2 go back there again coz i promised the teachers 2 help out until sat. 2ml i go there b bad guy go set up the solo walk trails n help conduct it 4 the j1s 2ml nite. Den confirm will hav the missin person scenario in which i got 2 scream n shout @ them again. Anw 2ml can go cycle the western part of ubin s 2day i nvr cover the area there. Just hope the weather will b fair 2ml.

We realli went thru alot s a plt- leg raise, rifle overhead in high kneel, leopard crawl in fbo, no slp 4 2days, kena scolded wif alot of vulgarities, the pain when ants crawls arnd ure body s u prone on their nests... Dunno y these sufferings tend 2 b the more memorable ones.

Aiya anw nt every1 got 2 bk out on their bday oso so i can consider quite fortunate liao. The rd march was ok lar after all the trngin we went thru in BSLC. Upon reachin the 12k rest pt, it was 12am oso n @ there my plt n sgts celebrated my bday wif me. Luckily tis yr no bday bash. We started @ 9 plus n ended @ 4 plus. Went back bunk n bathed n got ready 4 parade. 3 mths of trning 2 get the PC put on the corporal rnk 4 u. Overjoyed n realli 十分感动 until i almost kena tear gas again.

Tat day my class pple oso celebrated my bday wif me @ settlers. Really enjoyed myself there n thx alot 4 organising it. Thx alot 4 the pair of shoes which is shared by jm, hm, aaron, alv, ant, wh, kh, yz, hf, wc. The pair of shoes is veri nice n i will try 2 take gd care of it juz like the wallet u all bought last yr.

Monday we learnt abt chemical defence. Got 2 wear the mask n the special suit machaim like astronaut liddat. The suit is like winter clothing quite warm inside. Den learn some drills frm video which mostly involve decontamination by usin some powder substance. The urine n defecating drill in chem affected area are the most funny 1. 1st decon glove 2nd decon pants 3rd decon areas tat will b touched...even toilet paper oso decon. By tat time, u decon finish i tik i might pee or shit on my pants liao. @ the same time, the demostrator in the video act until veri awkward liddat. @ nite, went 4 PTI trial wif 3 frens which juz involve swimmin. Walau eh long time nvr swim liao n we r supposed 2 swim 50m freestyle followed by 50m breaststroke. Worst of all, @ the start, all juz chiong After the 50m freestyle, super shagged.

Tues mornin went 2 the smoke chamber wif the "astro" suit n mask. Once i stepped in n they burnt the tear gas pellet, i began 2 smell smoke in my mask n my lip gettin hotter which it is not supposed 2. Super suay. In there, we do some exercises like jumpin jet, den we do the canister changin drill 2 change our filter. Lastly, we had 2 remove our mask, open our eyes n say our rank, name n NRIC. The sgt saboh me after sayin once ask me repeat again. Wah i started coughin like siao plus my face like being applied wif wasabe super hot. The worst is step out of the smoke chamber. Wah the wasabe becomes chilli padi n mucus n tears start 2 come dwn. I realli "cry" like siao lar. After tat bkout n end up in hme now.

Tis wk i oso got my final interview wif my sgt in which he showed me my overall result 4 the whole course. Ha the result is realli unexpected lar esp my peer appraisal which i tot i will nt fare so well. After showin my result he began 2 tok abt my strgth n weakness. His comment abt poor decision makin is oso realli wad i tik abt myself- indecisive. I a lot of time cant realli make decision n dun dare 2 risk wif a decision which may fail. Worst of all, is keep worryin abt tis n tat which leads 2 indecisiveness. Realli 坏习惯 liao!

4 more days 2 POP. Tolong tolong tis yr all i wan is just let me get in2 PTI. Bein PTI shiok lar everyday 8-5pm onli somemore got free time can go gym or train. No more camo, no more field camp. Hwever the graduatin is super horrible. Swim dunno hw mani k, den fbo clear soc, finally 5k run in fbo. No matter wad tis is so far the best postin liao...

9th wk in SISPEC

2006-05-19T22:58:00.000+08:00

Shld b my 2nd last wk in SISPEC BSLC course liao. Sian tis wk is the most xiong wk coz of ex nutcracker. Monday got confidence obstacle course n advance obstacle course. Heng tis 1 no run dwn n green fatigue plus helmet onli. Anw tat day due 2 safety reasons some of the obstacles cannot b done. 4 AOC, do tunnel, inverted jaccob ladder, step up n some thin plank obstacle. 4 COC do combat jump frm 5m n those high element rope stuff. Got 1 super funny got 2 make ureself across a rope usin the slow loris method.

Tues realli zhuo bo lan. Learn rappellin but juz learn the safety harness. Sispec dun hav the saf issued rappellin ropes 4 us 2 do cliff rappellin. Wad a waste! wed mornin take bus 2 mandai n hav lesson abt shell scrape n fire trench until evenin n den stand 2. By the time they ask us 2 stand dwn super dark liao. It was den we started diggin our shell scrape. Heng i m short the length no need 2 dig so much. Dig the depth is easy but when it is time 2 dig the length, fatigue started 2 set in. Heng my lao jiao buddy who is alreadi a corporal come n help me when he is done. Soon we started our fire trench in which we got 2 dig until my shlder lvl in buddy lvl. Ha lunk realli on my side coz my sect got 1 person fell out so his buddy came 2 join us 4 the fire trench.

Everytime like tat wan. Durin the start, every1 super pia until fatigue begins 2 set in. Abt 2 plus, the lao jiao asks us 2 go n rest 1st while he continued. He realli superman. I slp until 3 n took over until 4. Soon the trench becomes quite deep liao got 2 use a tool called hun key 2 remove the xcess sand. Ha i super buay dong kept dozin off. When they passed me the filled up hun key, i juz empty it 2 pile up a big pile of sand 4 coverin up purposes on the 3rd day. Upon returin the empty hun key i juz doze off again. The mosquitoes there super horrible my wrist n hand like each kena 25 plus bites. We liddat until 5 plus den ended n rested.

The nxt day 6.15 am throw 1 thunderflash disturb our slp. Mayhem again. Den got 2 jump up n fire blanks....The 2nd day i struck lottery oso. I kena leader sect commander 4 my section... Despite the fake 3 stripes, i still hav 2 do alot of thing n wif staff arnd mayhem is like anitime frm nw. Rank is a badge of responsibility. Daytime filled up abt 25 sandbags den do FOPK @ our fire trench n touch up on our harbourin base. In the afternoon, we practice

After last light stand to n dinner, i stayed @ my shellscrape until i dozed off. @ 10 plt runner came 2 wake me up 2 report 2 plt hq. Wah lau eh upon reachin there staff asks the LPS n all the LSCs 2 high kneel wif rifle ourhead 4 quite some time. Blame me 4 nvr go n check the APEC n let them infiltrate our base. Sian ji bua went back n settle the sentry n apec shift wif my sect pple n every half an hr got 2 go check tat they were nt slpin. 2 am the sergeants launched another wave of attacks @ various sections. Reinforcements got 2 run frm 1 place n another n i got 2 run 2 plt hq 2 report 4 quite a no of times in the dark. Got 2 times i fell in2 shellscrapes but @ least better than fallin in2 a firetrench. Attack until 4 plus den wan us 2 cover up all our shell scrapes n firetrench. After tat head back 2 coy line.

Tis wk juz got my 5 corporal rank. Sun got 2 go beach rd 2 sew them on . So fast nxt sat pass out but until nw still dunno i will stay @ echo 4 ASLC or post 2 another unit. Hopefully tis time i can get wad i wantedn let us rest a few days b4 another course starts.

8th wk in BSLC

2006-05-13T08:22:00.000+08:00

Tis wk kept laffin abt MIS n TFM. Staff kept emphasising we r diff frm other plt coz we r the Mentally Insane Soldier livin in Total Fuckin Mayhem. He even started a committee 2 make the shirt. Ha the design ok got our fav leg raise n rifle overhead in high kneel position but heng they used TFM s shortform or else i wont dare 2 wear out the shirt. Indeed, 8 wks of mentally n physically stressed out under staff, i m quite proud of wearin tat shirt liao. Anw tis wk, nt veri enjoyable despite no outfield. Staff super pissed wif us n even striked off the tot of makin the shirt despite he demanded it initially

Mon learnt abt combat life savin. We learnt hw 2 use bandage 2 dress fracture wounds 2 minimise n hw 2 tie tonnie key 2 arrest haemorrhage on victims whose arteries r cut. If somemone realli suffer severe bleedin on thigh near the groin area, we r supposed 2 tie tonnie key tight on the groin area 2 stop blood loss. The medic den says liddat the victims' balls will b gone but his life is more impt than his balls. Ha but some pple wld rather die if they live w/o balls. Tat day quite slack despite havin stand by universe. tat day i oso sian jibua coz my nxt day guard duty is replaced by my fren who misfired durin grand slam. Tis means tat i hav 2 go 4 the 16km rd march. Tat nite oso had sect comm knowledge test which is our final test in tis course.

Tues combat life savin test. Heng i passed the test n will b havin my cert on POP plus CPR cert. Tat day our CSM conducted stand by bed 4 whole coy. I oso dunno y some places a bit dirty csm asks us2 clean onli but our staff said he is utterly disappointed wif us n will confine us on fri. I was like super angry when he said tat. Of all days y muz confine on vesak day s if we no need 2 celebrate liddat. The 16k rd march is quite tedious. Dunno whether we 2 long nvr rd march liao quite a no of pple fell out after juz 4k onli. Tis time rnd in sispec we wld rest 4 a while after every 4k onli nt like bmtc after every 2k will rest 4 a while. In addition, in some part, we r like doin fast march. Fast march realli veri jialat 4 short pple like me. All those tall pple walk 2 steps i m like walkin 4 steps 2 close up. Super sian n taxin 4 me.

Wed we had our 1st ICCT lesson. 1stly we learnt front n back break fall. Heng ar i didnt encounter the worst pain a guy can exp s some of frens who landed hip dwn 1st durin their front break fall. Back break fall is the worst. Neck pain n upper back pain n muz ga ga fall backwards 2 execute it. Lastly learnt abt the 3 basic locks n practice wif my buddy. The lock quite useful s i exp the pain i had when my buddy executed on me. Hweva it is quite hard 2 execute in double quick time. In afternoon, staff said fri confinement is dependent on our area cleanin on thurs n fri mornin. Wah we spent the entire afternoon 2 clean the whole bunk up all the kiwi stains on bed, cupboard n floor wiped until i super tired. Tat nite i was quite disappointed s i was nt involved in the interview wif 1st guards. Sian dunno y they pick those slackers in my plt...

Thurs sect live firing which is quite near 2 ntu. Act he whole course is realli idiot proof n safe. Each bound is act made up wif 4 tires stacked up 2gether n the dist between 1 bound 2 another is 2m n there will b tgt 4 u 2 shoot @ so most prob u wont end up shootin ure fren instead. 2 ensure no cocksters, we had a dry run in which we fired blanks b4 the nite n day shoot. Ha the funny part there is even civilian tgts 4 us nt 2 shoot @ n most of the civilians tgts look like criminals. Our coy dunno y place the peein pt near ntu but blocked by little vegetation onli want 2 make us bcome the 2nd tammy. The probability of shoot @ such tgt is super small s it is located quite far frm the tgt we r supposed 2 shoot @. I tik the live rnd sect live firin is the best simulation 2 a real war. Runnin frm bound 2 bound in front of u wif m16 n SAW firin live rnd is realli an exp. But durin war dun tik i will dare 2 run frm 1 bound 2 another most prob i will leopard crawl instead.

The whole thing ended abt 1am n we rd marched back 2 camp n cleaned our rifle until 3.30am. The most sian thing happened. Despite the nxt day reveille is @ 6am, staff wanted us 2 stand by our SBO n items we brought out 2 b washed n clean durin 4.45am. We went up n washed up n did wad was req. Den i oso dunno y he is still unsatisfied n told us tat confinement on sat is dependent on our area cleanin @ 6.30am. Wif abt 1 hrs 2 go, we no mood 2 slp thus we all go did area cleanin. @ 6am when the coy sgt asked the whole coy 2 heads out, onli our plt responded. Thus he asked the whole coy 2 fall in within 2 min. Tat day i was like super bad mood- bkout nt sure, sat confinement nt sure, no slp, not much time 4 area cleanin n yet got 2 fall in. Bloody hell when our whole plt dwnstairs, some pple frm other plt still took their own sweet time WALKING instead of runnin despite of 2 min given. They got 2 slp while we cannot still can walk. My plt pple some shouted 2 ask them 2 hurry up. Wah when i saw the 2nd person walkin frm the toilet back 2 his bunk, i buay tahan n shouted STILL CAN WALK SOMEMORE. My 2nd wave of vulgarities is almost goin 2 come out if there is no sgt in front.

In the end heng our sgt gave chance 2 us s staff had gone hme. We bked out @ abt 7 plus. Upon reachin hme, went temples wif my family 4 vesak day n visited a medium who blessed our family 4 dunno hw mani yrs. Super sian he spoke in teochew n i dun understand anithing somemore wan 2 slp oso cannot. Tok until halfway after hearin wad the medium said, my parents faster left the place. @ the doorstep, i saw another grp of person n there was a ruggard woman kept cryin n refused 2 go in2 the medium's hse. My parents immediately asked us 2 go dwn by another staircase which left me quite surprised. Den they told me tat the medium just nw said got a person who is possessed will b reachin his hse soon.

tTis wk is the zombie wk. We all r like walkin dead esp after exe grand slam. Slpin hrs veri little followed by our staff's mayhem. Ha he keeps emphasizin the meaning of mayhem: total disorder plus extreme violence, leavin every1 in total confusion.

Tuesday went 4 sect trngin again @ lim chu kang area 2 do sect battle drill. Tat day realli strike lottery coz my sergeant took leave so staff took our sect. Wah norm sect battle drill got a lot of contact pts wan but he onli had 1 contacts pts but all drills do in tat contact pt. Tat fateful contact pt is @ a lalang field in which some of the grasses r taller than me. He super zai keep givin snipin drills, in which in some cases every1 dies xcept sect com. We deploy sharp shooter n m203 2 fire hedp @ sniper den he will say sniper escaped unscathed or u missed n den sniper reload, takes aim n shoot... u r dead. Wah super tirin we keep carryin casualties frm 1 side 2 another side 2 escape. Den bside sniper drill, got leopard crawl drill to n fro abt 100m each. finale is fire movement 2 n fro the lalang field den halfway he will suddenly say enemy right or left, thus we got 2 charge in tat direction. Buay tahan my lung really like goin 2 collapse. i like 1000 2000 3000 4000, supposed 2 prone dwn by 4000 but i too tired n juz fell like a fallen tree. But heng he is still humane n gav us rest in between 2wards the end n treated us drink @ end of trngin. Ha he damn funny. When pple say huh 2 him, he will say: huh is used when i come in2 a wrong ger. Den pple say dunno, he will say dunno is a malay word 4 chibye. Lastly when pple say no lar, "no lar" is a malay girl's name.

Tues heng my sergeant is there. Tis time rnd we did plt battle drill in mandai area near the zoo.
Got 1 time we got 2 cross the rd 2 another side of the forest which is veri near the zoo. S we cross the road, the drivers like damn shocked 2 c us crossin the rnd wif camo on our face, machaim we wan 2 attack the zoo. Den @ nite field pack inspection bcome tekan session. Our oil bottle nt filled whole lot knock it dwn. Powder nt filled whole lot leg raise. Kiwi empty whole lot flutter kick. Den cant meet timin 2 put in everythin so everythin out again.

Wed camo on n took bus 2 SAFFT 2 take fast craft 2 tekong. Den take toner 2 kgt unai which is our harbourin site. Ha tis is the 2nd time i take toner in SISPEC coz every time go outfield is take air con bus. Super suay my positn is veri near 2 an ant nest... bobian lan lan suck thumb so i put some maggi crumbs some dist away frm their nest n my position, hopin they dun come n pester me. In the aft head out 4 an ambush mission n den after dinner head out 4 another nite ambush mission. @ nite my little nite blindness realli cause a lot of probs 4 me cant even get in2 my position or exit the harbour base. Slp 4 abt 1 hr n my turn 2 do sentry frm 12-2am. Thru out the sentry keep hearin wild boars but they nvr come in2 our base. Ha or else can eat roasted wild boar instead of disgustin combat ration. Dunno y oso when i look @ my watch everytime it will b like 10min accurately frm the prev time.

After sentry i hugged my rifle n slpt. Den suddenly POP i immediatley woke up n took out my rifle n aim. Act it was trip flare went off n den the sgts began 2 enter our base wif a SAW 2 support fire n i looked @ my watch 2.44am realli wth. In the end, 2 rifles kena stunned when the 2 holders r slpin, 1 person dragged away s POW our harbour base has fallen. Staff was damn angry n made us do high kneelin n rifle over head n played mind games wif us quite some time b4 we headed out 2 another pt 2 do our harbourin. Heng i got M16 2 lift up onli. Howeva the other rnd i suay. Tis time rnd we nvr clear rubbish n veri disorganised thus b4 movin out we did our "fav" again n tis time rnd i lifted M203. Wah realli veri jialat but staff wld say moan n groan.. look @ ure pathetic face... Everytime c him confirm will kena something. 2hrs plus of slp every1 is mentally stressed n signs of fatigue r showin but gd thing is every1 kept pushin on.

Fri sucks big time. Rain 4 almost the entire day while every1 had 2 take turn 2 prone to b sentry. By den my uniform was smelly onli but due 2 the rain it become muddy n smelly. Heng aft i got mission 2 attack plt 3. Ha we back stabbed them n managed 2 get 1 POW which is marcus frm sa. Ha he was slpin while doin sentry. Den after tat clear our rnds by leopardin crawlin frm 1 bound 2 another n shoot blanks @ nothing. Den @ nite made our way back 2 bmtc parade sq 2 clean rifle n wash up. While cleanin, alot of pple fell aslpt n keep tokin 2 their cock like wad staff likes 2 say s their head keept tiltin up n dwn. Ha got 1 person clean n eat n almost oil his biscuits. Ha i oso buay tahan n my things i held started 2 drop without me knowin it. The camo cream damn hard 2 wash off esp the eyes area. Ha after wash up, i confirm still hav mascara wan. By the time we finshed everything 3am liao n den slpt until 5.30 woke up n prepared 2 set off back 2 SISPEC. Ha like staff always like 2 say, it is nt over until it is realli over n starts 2 threaten us wif the word mayhem.

2day upon reachin hme bcame like hungry ghost. 2 days of combat ration enuff 2 made me bcome liddat. Worse still the combat ration made me shit abt 3 times upon reachin hme. Went out wif my family 4 lunch n upon reachin hme, i knocked out while typin tis blog halfway. Sian nw got 2 make 200 cylum straws s our whole sect nvr make. Heng nxt wk slack xcept i got regimental guard duty on tues nite. Ha hopefully tat day guard commander allows me 2 order mac 2 eat durin my break. The followin wk Ex nut cracker in which we will dig our own grave n fire trenches... More mayhem comin up.... 3 more wks 2 pass out frm BSLC 2 bcome a chao corporal wif my green beret.

On fri mornin after i brush my teeth n step out of our toilet our staff sgt came 2 "greet" us gd mornin wif leg raises. Leg raise realli make ure stomach ache n ache. S the prev day we were veri disorganised tat's y kena. S usual he will say: u guys dun wan 2 cooperate rite. Fine i shall nt tok n let u all continue in tis position. After a while he will den say legs straighten straightnen, 40 degree lower lower lower. Den In tis position say out the leader's creed soldiers. Wah realli no comment...

5th wk in SISPEC

2006-04-22T23:42:00.000+08:00

Tis wk has been fun but tiring @ the same time due the SOCs, sect trngin n the decreasin no of hrs of slp.

On mon morn got some parade. Wah got 1 guy puke out all his breakfast on the parade square until super jialat while got 1 guy near me sway left n right den fell 2 the front. Heng tat day got enuff hr of slp. Den afternoon start wif sect trngin. Got 2 put up SAF make up: green n 3 black stripes. Super sian my black camo tend 2 smudge when i sweat n always end up my face like justice bao.

During sect trngin, we learn hw 2 engage enemy s a sect wif all the various weapons hlders in our sect. We oso apply the formations n drills we learn in the forest n firing blanks 2 simulate live fire. It is veri fun lar s if fightin a war or playin cs. Ha can c pple drama roll or crawl frm 1 tree or another 2 take cover. Hweva, by constantly doin leap n bound frm 1 bound 2 another n proning dwn is quite tiring oso. Tat day s i dropped my RCK so i kena sect com 2 lead my sect 2 execute the drills heng nvr realli cock up.

Tues mornin do SOC again. tis time rnd nt bad timing below 10 liao improve liao. But the most sian thing is after soc got 2 rush applyin camo 4 sect trngin. Wed sect trngin again den aft went back 4 AGR n strgth trngin. Super tired. Furthermore 4 the past few days @ nite got 2 wash the dirty uniforms n slp late wake up early. Looks like the pace is getting faster liao.

Thurs n fri heng let us hav rest coz sat is our SOC 1st test. If we do well, no need 2 do 2nd test. Thurs learn CPR frm medic n applyin CPR on some dummy. Ha most of the time i was hammerin on the dummy. Fri learn 2 use the sharpshooter n rest of the day admin. Super shiok.

Sat mornin SOC test. Thx 2 all the constant run dwn tis time rnd i manage a 9 flat. I was veri happy. Initially i failed a few obstacles wan. I had alreadi met the req 2 cross over OCS: 2.4 under 9.15 n SOC under 9.15. But the ippt gold is most impt. So close yet so far...If realli cant cross over, most likely i will go express interest 2 enter s'pore guards regiment 2 b a guard specialist. Khaki beret, guard's tag, guards conversion course, heli rappellin -> ready 2 strike.

After SOC went 4 sect trngin again b4 bkout 2 meet wif those ocs guys 4 dinner 2 talk cock. Nxt wk is the navi plus sect trngin wk or the hol-lan wk. Almost everyday got sect trngin. On some of the days, morn sect trngin den @ nite go lower mandai 2 navi thru forest until nite time. Tis time rnd can try my 2IC trick of puttin chilli on banana n giv the monkeys there 2 eat. But heard tat most prob the checkpts veri hard 2 find n i tik i most prob will hol-lan wan. In addition, nxt wk all trngin end @ abt 11 liddat which means less admin time, wash clothes in dark, slp late wake up early. Realli hol-lan liao.... Tis time rnd we will c whether we can realli mind over body or whether we can realli work wif pleasure under pressure( my staff sgt fav quote).

Sentosa

2006-04-16T13:56:00.000+08:00

On gd fri, went sentosa wif my class. Nt bad lar quite a no of pple turned up. Tat day dunno y so many pple go sentosa oso the bus queue super long. Last mth went wif my plt mates durin march hol dun even hav so much pple lar. Wait for cab oso got 2 wait quite long. Act take cab oso cost abt the same s takin bus in2 sentosa.

Soon we reached the beach n started playin frisbee. Haha s ant back is facin some bikini gers, we kept throwin the frisbee 2 the gers to make him go there n pick. Sadly tis is 2nd time i play sports games since my enlistment in2 army. The 1st time is oso in sentosa wif my plt mate. Den we rested n ate. Ha most of the time is the guys eating. Cant blame lar go in army liao realli bcome hungry ghosts liao. The hm s usual last min pang seh nvr come thus we cant play card or soccer n can only play frisbee. Ha tat alex super cock let tat cunning raccoon dunno make him turn hw mani rnd n snatched away the frisbee 4 quite alot of time during dog n bone.

But sian the heavy rain spoil all the fun. Cant kayak anymore. Despite tat, when the rain got lighter, we continued playin frisbee. Ant, alex n aaron left 1st while the rest of us left later. On the way back, the 2pid reckless island bus driver made every1 swing arnd when it was turnin. I did a 360 deg turn all thx 2 the uncle despite holdin tightly 2 the handle. Den we went town 2 watch eight below in the new cathay cinema. The movie nt bad lar. After tat trekked 2 bugis 2 find gk 2 play pool s he told me he wld b late. Abt 15 min liddat can reach bugis liao.

Sian so fast my civilian days r up. 2nite bkin in 2 b soldiers n wif pride we lead...SISPEC again. Section trngin plus 2 soc plus ippt nxt wk. Admin time will b much less liao frm nxt wk onwards. 4 the nxt wk almost every mornin 7 take bus 2 trngin grnd, camo on, trning, lunch, trng, dinner, trngin, come back, clean rifle, den giv u abt 20min admin time 2 bathe, wash clothes. Dunno whether got time 2 call hme. Sian 4 the nxt 3 wks, sat bk out timing will b arnd 6pm liddat which means wont hav much time 4 me 2 go out on sat nite liao. Tiring it will be n tat is the time where all the sergeants will come in n say stuffs like shagged cannot tik is it. Hope tat my mentality can help me survive thru all tis sai gang.

4th wk in SISPEC

2006-04-13T22:26:00.000+08:00

Tis wk song. It is a veri short wk. 4days of trngin all thx 2 gd fri. Monday learn some principle of gd shooting n safety abt live range. Den go imt play "arcade" 2 simulate real live range shooting. Slack in the mornin means something xiong in the afternoon. SOC. Tis time full run dwn. Sian Lo wall muz do 2 times den parrallel bar n lo rope clear quite long. But heng in the end still pass but compare 2 my bmt time, takes a longer time. Hopefully nxt few run dwn can do better b4 the final test

Tues go live range. B4 goin 2 my bay i was like keep prayin dun let me hav a weapon which keeps havin IAs. 1st is something like machine gun. Prone dwn n fire until my neck pain. The recoil sucks oso. Nxt is the ultimate owin rifle: SAR21. Bloody hell tis weapon juz aim thru scope shoot n it will land exactly there. The aimin nt so taxin s M16 s ure eyes wont get so tired when constantly aiming thru SAR21. @ nite cant c nvm got laser 2 guide u. Total ownage.Tat day gan pua heng so no IAs.

Wed mornin did our basic navi theory test. Sian come army oso need 2 study or else will fail. Afternoon went lim chu kang cemetery to do basic navi prac test. Of all place dunno y choose a cemetery 2 do the test. When we reached there we realised tat the test will onli b conducted on the knoll n onli req 2 walk frm station 2 stn which r all on the knoll 2 do map n compass related stuffs. Dwn the knoll r all the tombstones n the knoll is actually quite near 2 my aunt's grave. Heng is day come here 2 conduct the test. If @ nite, i may c more pple doin the test wif me.

Tis mornin went 2 live range arnd tuas 2 fire grenade launchers n anti tank weapon. The grenade launchers juz cocked den 1 rnd away n boom! But the explosion nt veri loud oso. The illumination rnd fired frm the GL damn nice even durin the day. It is actually a little lamp which lights up upon fire with a small parachute above it. The worst is the anti-tank. Bloody hell even though got ear plug, after firin, i was like deaf 4 abt 3 mins liddat. Firing the thing wif the real calibre is dunno hw many times louder than tat. No wonder durin war alot of pple deaf. After tat went 2 c dml stuffs like claymoremine. Den go back n bk out.

Nxt wk realli can play counterstrike liao. Goin outfield 2 do section trngin in FBO. Super sian got 2 do fire movement in FBO plus carryin all those funny weapons n items. Worst thing is got 2 SOC nxt wk n due 2 my poor performance 4 ippt, every wk i got 2 redo the whole test again until i get a silver. ippt plus 2 SOC in 1 wk. Time 2 go hol-lan liao. Tis few wks stay in sispec like begin 2 like the place n the trngin liao. The regular sgts n warrants r damn comical n fun n sort of get influenced by them liao. Ha who noes if i cant get the uni course i wan, i may sign on as specialists n hav such lives like my sgts n warrants.

3rd wk in sispec

2006-04-08T23:18:00.000+08:00

Tis wk pass quite fast. 3rd time i bk out liao. Tis wk nothing much mainly focus on demolition stuff like claymore mine, tripflare plus signal package and play wif night vision goggle. In addition still got those usual PT stuff. Our fierce staff finally starts 2 joke wif us liao. Keep makin funny remarks like askin my fren y his nipples r erected when we sing birthday song 2 him, askin 2 blur kings 2 buy a HDB flat n stay 2gether, ask 2 buddy whether there is an incident whereby 1 mornin 1 of them was smokin while another 1 was weepin etc. Wah we realli laff like hell.

Mon n tues play wif signal set n walkie talkie n keep doin voice procedure. VP consists alot of odd codeword but heng no need 2 memorise. Den wed learnt abt tripflare n had a technical handlin test whereby got 2 set up a fake trip flare. Make a 2pid mistake n end up didnt score realli well. Heng thurs the claymore tech test i did quite well. Hopefully dun choose me 4 the live firin of a real claymore or else i sure garang gabo. Ha tat day oso keep hearin my sir keep scoldin pple pua sai kia n pua sai bye new vulgarity. He oso super funny. When he caught pple slpin durin lect, he wld ask them 2 ans qns. If they ans wrongly, he wld say tis: u muz b dreamin of ure god but did ure god tell u tat u r goin 2 get confine tis wk? If they heng heng ans correctly, he wld say: Wah ure god so powerful ar tell u the ans ar?

Fri ippt test. After the daily broad jump trngin, guess silver wont b a prob. But tat day still end up wif a pass grade. Again my trngin go hol-lan. Total turn off. Again saboh my section. S usual everything improved xcept 4 tat damn sbj. If nt 4 my sbj, i can qualify 4 a gold grade 4 guards n PTI wif my runnin time. Sian pple jump sgt say gd but when i jump the sgt say chibye! Tis is the 6 times ippt screw up due 2 sbj since my enlistment. Haiz den @ nite went 2 fire live trip flare. The effect of trip flare can b quite blindin but it is quite nice 2 c the view coz it is something like firework. The view can b quite romantic lor if there is a girl bside u. Ha but 2 bad on tat day is 1 whole grp of army boys. Wif the trip flare came another glow of hope. OC told us tat in 2 wks time there will b a veri final ippt test 4 those who didnt do well. So yuqiang decides 2 help me wif sbj while i help him wif chinup so tat we can clear the test 2gether. If whole coy got 100% silver, we will hav 2 nites out. Anw pls pple suggest some trngin 4 me 2 improve sbj coz i try alot liao still futile liddat.

2day SOC 1st run. Bloody hell sispec got height discrimination. The parrallel bar unlike bmtc so high coz me cant even jump n coz me 2 receive xtra trngin nxt time. 2day realli tekan session 4 soc. The PTI keep knockin us dwn. Anw his trngin quite gd lar goin thru the obstacle again n again plus his 2353535 trnin. Nt orderin pizza but is run 2 Obstacle 2 back den run 2 obstacle 3 back n so on wif SBO n rifle. Super shagged after tat trnin almost get hyperventilation.

Tis wk thx 2 yuqiang spreadin 2pid rumours among my sect n his sect nw realli diao jin huang he xi bu qing liao. No matter wad still muz train 4 silver. Nxt wk got soc again on mon by rite shld b combat fit liao after the mao gui trngin. Plus nxt wk song. Almost everyday is "Firers Fig 15 stationary target own time own tgt carry on" Everyday press trigger onli but realli got 2 tolong dun get misfire. Anw pple take care!

2nd wk in sispec

2006-04-01T15:35:00.000+08:00

Tis wk learn 2 new weapons plus basic navigation. Most of tis wk afternoon spend time in lecture rm listenin 2 lecture frm various PCs n sergeants while mornin had progressive AGR, PT or 60:120 trning.

Most of our PCs can realli make lecture veri interestin. In between lect, they will giv us break n show us some lame advertisement video 2 make us laff n wake up. Durin the demolition lect, the PC showed us the pwr of bomb n mine durin war n damage it can cause. 1 particular photo super gross show some remains machaim like kway chap. On the other hand, some PCs share their exp durin lect. 1 super funny is hw 2 deal wif irritatin monkey durin our navi course in 3 wks time. Put alot of chilli n pepper in the food n let them eat n the monkey will walk s if it is drunk, sway left n right. Super cock.

Tis wk thx 2 the sgts n PCs manage 2 learn a few more army words. If i get somemore, i can realli go compile a army vocab bk liao. the 1st word is idiot-proof which means something 2 easy 2 learn. Another word will b garang gabo which means panic n screw up the whole thing. The most commonly word will b hol-lan which means totally cocked up. Wah i like keep usin tis word liao esp durin navi coz if u dun navi properly realli can end up hol-lan or mayb germany or if things go wrong. Tis time realli hol-lan liao!

Tis wk oso discuss abt the happy hr thing which will b in 7 wks time. It is sort of dinner plus celebration @ Chevron b4 we graduate. Dunno y got such 2pid policy tat if 75% of the company pple can get gers 2 go den we will hav 1 nite off or else got 2 bk in straight after the function. Nw every1 try 2 psycho pple 2 bring 2 hav 1 nite off n starts 2pid matchmakin ideas. Wad intro gers let me bring or go orchard juz find a ger n ask her. Super cock!

The excitin exercise in tis wk is 1 person navi in a forest durin daytime n buddy lvl nite forest navi. Day navi still ok still can c although my pacin is nt veri exact n i tend 2 drift right. But heng still can find checkpt. @ nite it rains but the slope super slippery n worst visibility sucks. Heng got rope 2 grip on or else i realli hol-lan. Tis wk oso discover it will b damn funny if u c a stern person crackin joke or being sarcastic wif a super stern face. Tis wk veri gd lar alot of admin time n somemore got canteen break. Actually tot tis wk will end off a happy 1 but nvr did i xpect i screw up my ippt on fri morn

Again everything 5 pts n was veri happy wif my runnin frm bmt 9.41 bcomes 9.23 liao. 9 more sec n i qualifed 4 guard n commando's gold timing. Haiz do so well 4 others got wad use. SBJ 221 2pts->final result passed. Last wk got silver but tis wk got passed. Nxt wk final test liao n yet my result slump tis wk. My daily tuck jump trngin realli go dwn the drain. Super sian n disappointin. @ the same time, i drag my section mates dwn. We set 100% silver record but nw in the sect i m the one pullin them dwn. One of the sgts unhappy wif my result n made them responsible 4 me 2 get gold by nxt wk. If can, we can get 1 nite off if nt, dunno wad he can come up wif 2 deal wif us. Frm 221 to 234... Haiz. Super pai sei cause them 2 train wif me 2 ensure tat. Ultimately the worst is my chance of crossin over OCS will b damn hard if i dun do well 4 my ippt. 2 make matter more jialat, i landed on my butt while jumpin in bunk 2 train n nw i jump my butt oso hurt. Haiz totally sian ji bua liao. Nw realli 左右为难!

Quite coincidentally i ended up in plt 2 n slp on bed 8 again but tis time in sect 1. @ least my coy got pple i noe like alex, yuqiang, melvin, seng yu, weikean, shengjie, weiheng, alan, xianghan n bernard. Heng ar my buddy is my Sa 1st 3 mth og mate n he is oso called yong sheng. Haha!

Overall, SISPEC veri new. We r the 2nd batch usin the buildins. All the faccilities veri new shower cubicle oso got doors liao. Nw even provide bus svc 2 boon lay 4 both bk in n bk out. My bro oso same camp s me but suay dun hav such privilege. He nw in thailand playin "laser quest" wif commando. Hopefully, can meet him in pasir laba camp when he come back.

Most imptly, the food there better than tekong one. Everyday confirm will hav fish, chicken wing or drumstick, veg, soup, fruit n syrup drink while breakfast got 2 menus 2 let us choose. On some of the days, oso got nice food like orh nee, green bean soup n even ice cream.

Almost all the sergeants r gd lar despite all r regulars . They will joke wif us n tok cock wif us wan. They r nt unreasonable so far lar s they bother 2 tell us y we get punished instead of juz askin us 2 knock it dwn out of sudden. Ha they got wide vulgarities vocab n scold veri funny stuff. Didnt noe got "chibu" tis vulgarity wan. Chiobu got lar but tis is gd term. Haha! Den FS dun stand 4 fitness specialist but stand 4 fuck spider. Dunno y of all animals they choose spider. Ha mayb can bcome spiderman sia. If u stare 2 the grnd, u will kena kb like "Eh wad u doin? Countin ure cock hair ar!"

All the warrant officers oso veri frenly type. Got 1 warrant is my lion dance coach last time. i like 6 yrs nvr go liondance dun tik he recognise me liao plus the cock-up hairstyle nw.

Trng wise so far so gd. Every mornin 5bx some day got 5bx wif 2.4km run. Den gt AGR, Spd trngin, Strgth trngin. i kena grp A 4 AGR n Spd trngin(60:120) due 2 2.4 timin. Wah the commando warrant officer lead us n he damn fast lar. Imagine a abt 40 yrs old person run much faster than a grp of 19 yrs old guys lar. Spd trngin is the best! Sprint 4 60s n rest 4 120s 4 13 times den after got 11 laps shuttle run plus commando warrant leads us. Everyday got @ least 2 chin up regime 2 pull ure max before every meal. Wah the pushup i did in sispec since the 1st day is already much more than my entire bmt. Got 1 day my plt did abt total 400 pushups due 2 punishment n lost of bet 2 sgts.

Tis wk passed all my tactical handlin tests 4 some weapons wif quite gd result. Get a $3 haircut 2 cut 4 by 2 by 1 which is something like ure top got some hair but side n back is botak. Super weird. Had TSR test oso. Wah tis wk almost get confinement due 2 an messy blanket durin sudden stand by area. Dunno y in the end dun hav lar. b4 bk out got ippt cat test. Tis time got improved finally attained a silver. Hweva, s usual all 5 pts xcept sbj. Nw got 2 squeeze 9 more cm 4 a gold.

Nxt wk realli GG liao. My sect com who is a Guardsman is back 2 take our section. Guard is nt those camp or security guards. They r infantries who r commando trained but lesser pay. Nxt wk still got SOC run dwn. Every wkend most likely got essay 4 us 2 write like tis wk write abt role of commander. The worst of all is the pass out day 4 BSLC is on my bday n b4 tat day got 28km road march. By tat time dun tik got energy 2 celebrate. Bobian got 2 use the army fav phrase: suck thumb.

Postin

2006-03-17T13:09:00.000+08:00

In the western part of S'pore
Tat's a place where i belong
Where i train 2 b a specialist
Tat is SISPEC

Posted 2 SISPEC Infantry. Ha everyday can hey ya oh ah infantry ya...... n will b seein tat kb master warrant. Haiz dunno whether the postin is something 2 b happy abt. Gd news is tat i m posted 2 a command sch. Bad news is tat i didnt get posted 2 OCS which means my local study award scholarship gone case liao. Quite disappointed abt the big loss. Sigh nw quite hard 2 get another scholarship wif my result.

Nxt mon 8.30 got 2 bring all those barang barang in again damn alot. Hopefully can get in2 the same company, same plt, same section s alex, stanley, andy chew n those fall out boys who go SISPEC. I tik the chance will b higher 4 fall out boys coz our bday quite near 2 each other if SISPEC organises accordin 2 our bday. Ha no more when the cold wind blows liao. Nw is when the cold water blows. Haha! Anw heard frm my plt sgt tat we wont hav confinement @ SISPEC. Heng ar!

Abt5-6 mths of trngin 2 b a sergeant. Ha dunno whether i will end up being a bastard or welfare sergeant. Nw onli left wif 1 chance: the transition process in which some specialist can convert frm SISPEC 2 OCS. Hope i can excel well in SISPEC n proceed 2 OCS n apply 4 LSA again. If nt, being a Guard specilist wif khaki beret oso nt bad. Pple goin OCS endure ure 9mths trngin in SAFTI. Pple goin SISPEC, Let's Suffer In Silence Plus Extra Confinement lor!

Sentosa

2006-03-15T16:44:00.000+08:00

Yesterday went sentosa wif yk, chan, andy, alv, weicheng, kaizhi n boonkeng. Pai sei pple made u all wait 4 me 4 quite long hor. So end up blanjah them sugarcane juice @ the hawker centre. We had lunch n @ the same time andy told us abt the NS regular aka robber who cannot run story. Den boarded the bus 2 sentosa.

Tis is the 1st time i went sentosa beach 2 enjoy instead of conductin amazin race. Ha along the way, kz kept kbin a ger who said wad the wrld has bccome. Spk of the devil we realli met the ger while we were wlkin 2wards the beach. Upon reachin we went 2 play beach volleyball. Wah the sand super hot n we were realli like 热锅里的蚂蚁. Den tat kz: Walau eh u all r damn fuckin gay! Ha we ignored n wore slippers. Den we had a fun n competitive game of soccer wif some guys.

The intense heat soon made every1 go in2 the water xcept me. Ha i 4got 2 bring xtra underwear 2 change so i hesitated 4 a while. But in the end, i heck care n juz went in2 the water 2 play monkey wif them. Again, kz: Walau eh eric u damn fuckin gay leh! Initially we wanted 2 kayak but the person dun allow. Hweva we saw some pple kayakin n bk n alv went 2 kb the person until he let us kayak 4 1 hr.

All of us went 4 kayakin xcept 4 kz n wc. wc dun wan n kz said he will get seasick. Walau eh damn fuckin gay! Haha! i kayak wif yk n tat was my 2nd time kayakin. Tis time finally noe hw 2 halt n change direction n thus history of causin my fren 2 capsize n let pencil-like mangrove rts poke in2 his ass wont happen liao. "Walau eh the lifeguard sibei kaobei just like the master warrant." Haha! Yk juz stood up on the kayak den tat lifeguard immediately use loudhaler 2 OEI! Anw kayakin is damn fun somemore can train ure arm. Hopefully nxt time can hav more chances 2 go kayakin.

We went 4 another rnd of beach volleyball. Ha i tik i more cut out 2 b a ball picker rather than a beach volleyballer. Ha I can realli serve frm the left side of the court 2 the left side of another court n out. When the ball came 2 me, i shouted Wo de wo de wo de... tat kz again: Walau eh eric u r damn fuckin gay! Ha thru out the game he kept repeatin his fav line almost on every1. Damn funny! Den bk started the "Walau eh u pple r damn selfish!" Haha demostration Alpha sia! When the cold wind blows...... Hahaha!

After changin we left sentosa n bk, kz n andy went 2 meet up wif their gfs, leavin the AAB pple behind. Thus, we went cineleisure Galilee 2 hav our dinner. The food there r quite nice. Den we went 2 L9 2 play CS. Wah cs source is damn realistic nw graphic super chio. But when u kena flash the effect sucks! After tat hme sweet hme.

2day juz got back the photos n i had alreadi posted them up in my imagestation. U can click on the link on the left 2 go n hav a look @ the photos. Sian since POP until nw, i had spent abt 100 bucks on food n transportation inclusive of abt 15 bucks spent on pool, kayak n sentosa. Thus, 2day went 2 rent vcd 2 keep myself occupy @ hme. Nw can onli look 4ward 2 my postin n tis sat plt bbq. 04s72 still wan class outin tis wk?

Open Hse

2006-03-12T22:41:00.000+08:00

Since POP, almost everyday goin out instead of stayin @ hse. Luckily still got time 2 watch my SBO, helmet and field pack. All thx 2 the tekong ckhse food, when i went out, c anithing oso feel like eatin esp noodles. Ended up almost hav abt 5 meals per day. Ha later end up like the recruits in eagle coy. The worst of all is my coughin is back. Super sian 1/2....

4 the past 2 days went 2 NTU n NUS open hse. But on sat went 2 atten ms koh's wedding. Anw tis was my 1st time attendin church weddin so was quite amazed by some of the stuffs tat occurred like pple suddenly put their 2 hands in the air. Can c tat the married couple were veri happy n all of us felt happy 4 them 2. The pastor realli gave a veri gd tok n advice on successful marriage. Ha no matter wad, s my plt AAB club founder, i tell myself still got long way 2 go!

After tat went ntu 4 open hse. Both the business talk n engineerin talk quite zai n informative. Dunno y NTU realli like 2 boast abt their rankin better than NUS n SMU n its graduates employment rate n startin pay better than other Uni. Visited the booths n exhibitions n asked some qns rgdin some of the courses n left the place liao.

Den 2day went NUS wan. NUS seems quite modest nvr realli boast abt their achievements. But their business pple like quite jialat. We went 2 their booth got no qns 2 ask they like forced us 2 come up wif qns 2 ask them. When tokin 2 1 of the engin prof, bcoz of my ht, his saliva kept landin on my face s he toked. Super disgustin. We oso visited the faculty of engineerin b4 we left NUS. Ha tis 2 days noticed tat most of the profs r bald n their head super shiny machaim everyday got brush shine. Nxt time shld come up wif a course like haircare engineerin. After tat, went jp wif jm n alv 2 watch our 1st M18 show, underworld: evolution. It is a nice show wif gd plot but hav some gore scenes n sex scenes.

Shortlisted chem engin, environmental engin n business s my desired courses n most likely puttin chem engin s 1st choice 4 both NTU n NUS. When i tell pple tat i consider environ engin, they will laff @ me n giv comments like wah protect ure grass ar, hav greener pasture 4 u 2 graze or do sewage pipe or dig sai kang ar. Ha damn cock! Nw realli hope tat all those 4As pple go overseas 2 study n leave more vacancies 4 pple who didnt do so well. Tik 2ml better apply 4 my course n go develop army photos b4 my plt mates realli stripped me when we go Sentosa tis tues. Kk pple hope tat u will get the uni course tat u wan.

Pass Out Parade!

2006-03-09T02:20:00.000+08:00

Yeah graduated frm bmtc sch2 liao n can proudly say tat i m Private YS Lim. 4 the few nites b4 the day we had our POP, our whole sect will gather, eat tibbits n tok cock n even tok abt the yr bk of diff schs until quite late b4 we go n slp even though lights off. Didnt noe some sch r quite jialat until my fren use Undead or Orc 2 describe their sch gers. They realli like sa yr bk alot n kept sayin tat me alv veri blessed 2 b in such sch but we dun realli tik so leh. Ha mayb 我们身在福中不知福. Ha got quite a no of pple tik my pw female members quite chio lor. Dunno whether i shld feel proud of them ar nt 4 the uncountable no of tgpwol i say b4. Hahaha okok juz jkin onli. Tbpwol k!

1 nite we tok abt our gay encounter. Calvin is the best coz got gay whose towel is wrapped arnd his lower waist masturbated in front of him. Wah tat is enuff 4 us 2 even puke out our dinner. My gay encounter in gym is nt so jialat than him.

The last nite all of us on stand by 2 blanket party 1 person but end up strippin me bcoz of me misplacin the camera in2 aaron's cupboard. Initially the 1 2 kena is aaron thong, kai zhi but den the aarowhead suddenly shifted 2 me. Super sian small size pple always kena. 2 make matter worst alv's sect pple plus alv oso come help my sect pple out while sect 1 n sect 2 plus sergeants enjoyed the show outside. Startin almost run awy but enemy firepwr 2 strong plus the door is locked n i get stripped until left underwear. Wah den they put toothpaste n apply yoko yoko on my upper body n pour alot of prickly heat in2 my underwear. After bathin i still can feel all those yoko yoko heat over my body n heng they nvr apply yoko yoko in2 my underwear.

On the POP day, realli got 2 thx my parents who took all the trouble 2 come all the way 2 tekong 2 watch the parade. 2 bad got 2 tickets or else can ask more pple 2 come. The parade was a success! 2 mark the end of bmt, we threw our jockey cap which our parents put up 4 us in2 the air in joy. After tat photo-takin session wif my plt pple. Ha finally can take photo wif my plt sergeant who can onli put his hand on my shlder in the whole plt bcoz of his height.

@ tat time quite happy 2 graduate frm bmtc but sad 2 depart frm a wonderful plt. Frm tat day onwards, when i wake up, will onli c walls instead of 11 familar pple who went thru thick n thin wif u, sing wif u, kena punished wif u, cocked wif u, yayapapaya wif u, eat wif u, pee wif u, shit wif u n even bathe wif u. 2 mths may seem short but our bond s a sect n plt has definitely strengthened alot.

Immediately nxt day after POP, we went aaron thong hse 4 bbq but sadly we onli managed 2 get plt sgt wong, sgt eton n some sect 3 n 4 pple 2 go. The food was gd n the drink was gd all thx 2 mingwei n kai zhi. We had fun by havin mahjong session plus tok cock session n watch Jarhead. Jarhead is a movie abt US marine recruit goin 2 war durin the 1st US-Iraq war. Ha US recruit life is 1000 times worst than s'pore rec life. S a US rec, u will b bombarded wif tonnes of vulgarities plus tough n harsher trainin. O/a the movie nt bad lar but just b4 i finished the whole show, got 2 leave or else cant catch last train.

Ha nxt wk will hav another plt bbq after the postin result came out plus may hav a sentosa trip. Hopefully, every1 will b posted 2 the unit they wan. Sian durin FFI, the MO say my blood pressure abit high but heng he still say i m fit 4 command sch. Any1 noe hw 2 lower blood pressure pls help me. Thx alot.

Last wk in tekong

2006-03-05T12:16:00.000+08:00

Wed mornin woke up damn suay got feverish feelin. 37.8 was the temp so i quickly took some panadol plus my lung inflammation medicine den go SAV met wif our class pple. We stayed @ the cafe 4 quite sometime b4 goin up 2 the hall 2 get our result. Once we went up n sat 4 abt 3min, the principal asked us 2 queue up 2 take our result. @ tat time, didnt tik much coz my fever is like affectin mi more. Got my result n was quite pleased n abit unexpected.

Den i blur blur walk here n there 4 quite sometime in the sch b4 leavin the sch. By the time i reach hme, got 2 rush n packed my stuff 2 bk in. Upon bkin in, i faster go n rest. The nxt mornin woke up n was relieved fever gone. Suay early in the mornin got CO parade. Thruout the whole parade we r 2 remain stationary n cant move. Halfway thru the parade, my vision began 2 blur n felt damn nauseous n felt like vommiting. The pple in front of mi oso began 2 sway left n right a bit. i was like goin 2 black out. My sgt fav quote: It's all on ure mind n tat's wad tat last mi out thruout the parade eventually. hweva, s we were drawin arms, i was like siting dwn n dozin off.

Den we all went 4 our 1st graduation parade rehearsal. Heng tis time dun hav feelin of blackin out but i still feel quite uneasy. After tat went back coy line n prepared 4 games day. i joined the human obstacle race in which i will do human wheelbarrow wif my fren. Sigh 2 bad we get 4th so nvr win anithing. Tis yr Leopard which is a PES C coy is the o/a champion while orion 2nd. Since tis yr orion organised games day, the 1 2 do the sai kang is oso our company. After the gamesday, i was like damn shagged n my breathin is like quite jialat n a bit chest pain. i didnt inform any1 abt it n went 4 the recruits' evening.

The recruits' evening was quite ok. Got bands singin, pple playin yoyo n even fire. Last but nt least, got performance by SAFmusic drama grp. mostly their performance is sing n dance. Ha @ the same time, i finally noe where those guys who admit they r gays durin the cmpb med checkup end up in. Got 1 male performer nvr zip up his pants still can smile n dance on the stage, makin himself the laughin stock of the day. 2wards the end, every1 began 2 stand up 2 dance n tat is the time when light pple like me began 2 b lifted up n tossed arnd. Tat day realli pushed myself over the limit n was damn heng nuthing happened.

The nxt day had graduation rehearsal again followed by our graduation 24k road march. Feelin much better wif my breathin n no more chest pain so decided nt 2 report sick n go 4 the 24k rd march. Luckily the whole plt kept singin thruout the whole rd march or else alot of us will b bored 2 death. The SIT test site super jialat. S the place is reclaimed land, when there is wind n pple kickin up sand, there will b sandstorm n every1 ends up breathin sand. I oso began 2 hav phlagms in my lung thx 2 all the sand. We walked frm 4 to 12am. Alot of us suffered abrasion on thighs, groin, armpits n even nipple! Ha when i went 2 the toilet 2 bathe, almost every1 will groan out in pain when the water sprays on2 their abrasion wounds machiam like brothel. S i got 2 take the 1st fastcraft in 6.15, pple slp while i got 2 pack most of my cupboard stuffs hme. I dun wan 2 leave much stuffs 2 bring hme after my POP. Had 3 hrs of slp den got 2 fall in 2 march 2 TFT.

Upon reachin hme, faster bathe n rushed 2 the polyclinic 4 my appt. Waited like 1 hr 4 x-ray n consultation. Heng tis time the doc said my lungs r ok liao despite takin in so much sand on the prev day so no need 2 come back unless i got fever. Super relieved! hweva, 4 the past few days, i tik i realli full of shit. Will shit @ least twice a day. Muz b the tekong food again.

2 more days 2 POP den will hav break until 19 if i nt wrong. Got 2 maintain my wrkout n most imptly, do research n choose the uni course i wan 2 study in SMU or NUS. Got time will plan some outings wif my class pple s well. Result out liao nothing 2 wrry abt xcept 4 the army postin. Cant wait 2 throw my jockey cap on POP.

A lvl result

2006-02-28T22:53:00.000+08:00

In the early mornin run
Wif my rifle on my back
Wif the achin in my lungs
When the cold wind blows...

Tis song came across my mind when i was runnin my 700m wif SBO, helmet n rifle 2wards the lo-wall durin my SOC test. After considerin much, i decided 2 juz chiong the SOC test, trustin my lungs rather than comin back durin my blk leave 4 it. So i juz kept my MC without shwin it.

The 700m run was horrible den came the lo-wall. I so short jump liao still got 2 depend on arm strength 2 go over it. Jump over barb wire. Almost fell off frm parrallel bar. Ha lo-rope rest abit due 2 congestion. Den after tat super smooth n my lungs cooperate wif mi. Jaccob ladder almost got prob when goin dwn but tat day quite heng nvr fell. Lo-ramp liao den look @ my time.

The last 600m run most jialat wan. Run until the 400m mark i super buay tahan start 2 wlk until 300m. Den frm 300m i realli chiong until end pt. Upon finishin i faster go check my timin heng i pass. Hweva, quite disappointed tat i shld nt stop @ the 400m or else i can get A 4 SOC liao.

But nvm go unit still hav chance. SOC gd but ippt sucks: "D+22=Passed despite 2.4" under 9.45. Heard tat there might b a re-test on blk leave. Most likely, i tik i will go back tekong 2 take again 2 get @ least a silver.

7 more days 2 POP. Nw got more admin time even in the afternn. Spent most of the time tokin cock, eatin, listenin 2 pple play guitar. Ha goin 2 hav a bbq on blk leave. Really hope tat most of us can end up 2gether again in units or command sch. All the cocksters, all the cock-ups, all the cocky rd march songs, all the damn funny punishments we kena n the most cock play we ever put up 4 the company happy hr. Bloody hell ask mi wear PT shirt n wrap towel arnd my waist n act s ger. Haha nt bad act until all the sirs n sergeants c liao realli feel like goin 2 the stage n blanket party mi. Haiz just the fun begun den it's time 2 part.

Haiz A lvl result.... Realli dunno wad the outcome will b like. Tikin abt tis oso remind mi abt the specialist contract signin which i didnt sign in the end. Despite the master warrant off kept tellin mi tat i shld noe whether i can do well 4 my As by den, i still tik tat tis type of stuff is unpredictable. If i juz signed it, 10yrs of army life plus $12,000 but if result gd can onli study U after the contract. Ended up i didnt sign the contract n kena kb by him.

Anw juz hope tat the contract rejectin is the right choice. Ha it will b damn funny picturin myself 10yrs time or longer, being a CSM, leadin a grp of soldiers 4 rd march n teachin them the Geylang Song if i cant go U n army willin 2 offer me another spec contract. Like Sage Gk always likes 2 say: Hope 4 the best n prepare 4 the worst!

Lung infection

2006-02-26T12:55:00.000+08:00

Upon bkin out, cant resist the big M temptation so end up eatin mac wif boonkeng, yeekiat, calvin n you cai b4 we went hme. We tok cock, did some SCO n den ke blakang puseng hme. S i was like coughin 4 1 mth plus everyday confirm will hav phlagm which is greenish-yellow so decided 2 c doc on nxt day mornin.

Mornin went breakfast wif parents den go polyclinic. Where i went realli wth! 8.20 the polyclinics almost full liao. Lan lan hav 2 wait lor. Wait 4 abt 1hr went in2 the rm n consult the doc. When i told him tat my symptons is 4 1 mth liao. He asked mi y nvr go c MO. Ha i say MO nt efficient n alot of pple complain abt their wrkin attitude. After checkin my breathin thru slethoscope, i tot can leave liao. Instead he sent mi 4 x-ray.

After waitin 4 1 hr 4 x-ray, i just go inside the rm, remove shirt n stand in front a device 4 less than 15s den can liao... Take my x-ray went up 2 find the doc again but still hav 2 wait 4 30 min. He look @ my x-ray n show it 2 mi. I was like wth my lung like damn swollen den got dots dots here n there. Den he said i got lung inflammation den the dots r all phlagms. Den he told mi tis. "NS is onli 2 yrs. If there is something wrong wif ure body n u dun care bcoz u dun wan 2 miss trngin, it will affect the rest of ure life." Tis realli made mi feel quite sian coz i shld report early 2 receive treatment. Den he oso warn mi tat if i hav high fever or shortness of breath nxt wk, i shld report 2 MO immediately coz i may get pneunomia which will lead 2 lung failure. Nxt sat got 2 bk out 2 do another x-ray n c the doc again.

Den he wans giv mi 1 wk mc. Hweva, i told him i cant miss my graduation parade rehearsal or else the army wont allow mi 2 participate durin POP. After a while, he gave mi light duty mc instead n ask mi 2 rest s much s possible. Haiz i tik i realli garang 2 much n goin overboard liao till i landed in such plight. Nxt wk still got SOC n 24km graduation road march which is physical intensive. Tik i juz pia thru these 2 events den i will rest myself liao.

Went hme n join my class pple 4 dinner @ fish n co. Long time nvr eat such gd food liao. After tat we all went esplanade den go inside some tea bar 2 tok cock n share some ghost stories. Nw i tik my company nt tat "clean" anymore. Haiz i always need 2 frequent toilet in the nite wan nw realli sian 1/2. After tat went hme n lied on bed n juz dozed off n forgot 2 take my medicine. Suck 2day may hav 2 take xtra dosage 2 cover up.

Wah the medicine is veri strong made mi super drowsy. Haiz hope all our a lvl results turn out 2 b gd n every1 can go U. Most imptly, really hope i can recuperate fully b4 my POP. Kk pple take care!

Confinement plus confinement

2006-02-26T11:56:00.000+08:00

My bmt period is goin 2 b over liao most major events over liao except 4 the graduation 24km road march. 11 more days 2 pass out parade n abt 4 more days 2 a lvl result release day. Sort of 已经做好最坏的打算... Anw left 11 days 2 POP can c tat every1 in my platoon r bcomin veri on liao n realli can wrk 2gether in unison. Sort of sumarise wad i did in the last 3 wks ba.

IPPT diagnostic test
Tis time all got As xcept 4 SBJ. Damn gek my 2.4 oso meet the requirements 2 get gold but thx 2 sbj cant get gold n even silver. Sigh...

7 days field camp
(Permatang)
Spent 3days @ tat rubber plantation area. Sian 1st day den rain liao end up all of us wet frm head 2 toe. Livin in basha sucks big time coz i so small size oso hav difficulty movin abt in the basha. Den @ nite got powder bath 4 hygience purpose. We need 2 use the prickly heat powder 2 powder our entire body. In the end, alot of geishas in my platoon. The funniest team is we r req 2 b able 2 eat spring squeeze trigger successfully (pull ure elastic band of ure underwear n den release 2 produce mushrm cloud of powder) in front of sgts in order 2 pass the powder bath.

Nightmare on 2nd day. I kenna plt IC. tat day kena knocked it dwn 60 bcoz of whole plt late n i didnt noe need 2 report parade state s well. @ nite almost lost my rifle magazine so kena sentry duty when we went oil palm. The worst things is it rains damn heavily when we slpin. In the end, we r like swimmin in our dreams

3rd day nuthing much so we marched off 2 campsite 2. Thruout the whole FC, we everyday got 2 put on camo cream which is made frm veg oil on our face, neck n hand. Outfield shittin exp is the best! i tot i can remain constipated 4 the entire FC but on 2nd day cannot tahan liao. Got 2 dig my own shit hole. Once the shit come out, all the flies will land n eat ure shit some may even land on ure ass. Dunno y durin outfield the shit smell super jialat compare 2 the shit in bmtc2. Muz b the combat ration. tokin abt tat, the field ration some menu veri nice some like shit esp chic pontay rice. I wld rather eat butter biscuits 4 lunch rather than CPR. Some menus r veri nice like chic bolognese but some super jialat such tat we come up wif a song 2 sing abt durin our march.

Durin the 3 days of FC @ permatang, we had individual fieldcraft lessons n practices which comprise of firemovement, camouflage n those jungle warfare stuff. @ the same time, we can fire blanks usin our rifle which onli got pop sound.

(Oil Palm)
We spent another 2D3N @ tis plantation. @ the same time, i did a 2hr sentry duty on the 1st nite s punishment 4 my magazine. @ oil palm, we practice diff types of firemovements everyday except 4 technical break day. Durin tech break day, we were served wif fresh ration n we were allowed 2 bathe. But i super suay end up bathin @ water pipes outside toilet s the toilet got onli 3 shower n we got 2 rush 4 time. On the last day damn cock. All thx 2 the preserved fruits i ate durin dinner. After dinner, went 2 urine n halfway shit start 2 come out. Realli wth. End up goin 2 alv basha 2 borrow toilet paper n ET blade s my basha is 2 far by the time i reach there the shit land on my underwear liao. Luckily made it in time. Durin tis process i lost my last day ration. Scarly i cover the ration s well when coverin my shit hole...

(Reclaimed Land)
6th day marched 2 reclaimed land. Surprisinly they provide us wif fresh ration 4 the entire day. But when the diggin of own shellscript starts i realise y they provide FR. No matter wad is ure height, every1 got 2 dig a 2m by 0.5m by 0.5-1m coffin 2 simulate defence operation by usin a small ET blade. The most unfortunate thing began 2 happen. It began 2 rain heavily. After finishin shellscript, 2 sect will dig a fire trench which is 2-3 times deeper than a shellscript in the rain. Every1 will take turn 2 help diggin while some will prone dwn in their shellscript drinkin the mud water in it. When i was pronin damn hungry so take out biscuit n eat n end up eatin some mud s well. All of us r like bangala wrkers diggin n diggin. @ nite thx 2 the rain we no need 2 slp in our own mud swimming pool. Instead we slpt @ a nearby trainin shed

(BIC)
B4 we head back 2 BMTC, we went 4 our BIC. In tis course there will b a GPMG firin live rnds above us so we had 2 crawl our way thru the wire obstacles b4 reachin a grenade bay 2 throw a dummy grenade. Wah heng it rains or else we will suffer more cuts frm the dry sand. After tis course i realli hate back crawl s it is damn time consumin s compared 2 leopard crawl. after all the tedious crawlin we all went back 2 bmtc wash up n bk out on the nxt day which is sat.

100m live range
Bk in on sun den do PT 4 nxt 2days. Den spent 2 days @ the range 2 use our rifle 2 fire live rnds @ diff tgt boards. Nighttime shootin is totally crap. I almost got perfect score 4 day shoot but nite shoot quite jialat. My rifle oso quite screwed up kena quite a no of IAs. The worst thing is the person bside mi misfired n tat rnd land veri nice 2 mi n realli freak out the whole lot of us includin the commanders. I realli got 2 thx god tat the bullet nxvr reflect back frm the grnd n hit back in my direction. If there is some1 in front of him, he might kill tat person lar.

SIT test
Our last outfield trngin. Damn suay my field ration all chic pontay rice. Tis test is veri impt 4 pple like mi who wan 2 go OCS. 1st day pitch basha den learn knot tying. Super suay i kenna Light Anti-tank Weapon something like bazoka. Realli sian 1/2 coz got 2 carry tis n my rifle whereever i go den got 2 hug both my "wife" n "mistress" 2 slp 2 prevent kenna stolen. Nxt day ext accessor came n gave us the missions 2 complete in my team which comprises of medic, LAW, navi, claymore, miner, signal, demo. 1st day the missions i abit sian 1/2 mostly tie knot n i nt veri well in doin tat. @ the same time, i nvr kena IC or 2IC 4 ani mission on tat day. Tat day oso got interview on y u wan 2 b jnr SAF commander. Hweva on 2nd day, my knot tie skill improve n somemore i kenna IC n 2IC 4 2 missions super happy sia.

The worst thing abt SIT test is they realli wan 2 c whether u can still wrk well under fatigue. Thus they made us do fast march every mornin b4 our missions. Fast march realli sucks lar the spd is runnin but the fact is we r nt runnin but marchin. Den frm 1 stn 2 another stn got 2 run (damn the LAW!) n super hot(Tat's y we all nw super chao ta!) Tekong realli sucks when it rains it nvr stop. When it is sunny, temp can reach up 2 40!

IPPT/ guard duty
Came back frm field camp damn shagged. Nxt day got SOC run- dwn(super tiring), BCCT, 60:120. Tat day i nearly suffer frm shortness of breath. Den the nxt day got 16k road march. Heng our whole plt keep singin or singin or else i tik we can b zombies liao. Den the nxt day got IPPT.

hweva i kena regimental guard duty. tis 1 every1 has 2 do it once so i lan lan still hav 2 do. I kena prowler wif my fren(patrol arnd the whole sch1 n 2) frm 8.30-10.30 n 2.30-4.30. B4 we went 4 guard duty, we wld go 2 the altar bside our guard bunk 2 offer incense 2 the deities 2 bless us after hearin so mani ghost stories in tekong n the fav spot 2 spot them durin guard duty. Along our patrol we kept tokin 2 1 another den reach those funny spots we will walk briskly. End up we juz hav 2 walk 2 rnds per shift. When we went back coy line, we went 2 bathe n were entitled 2 hav another 2 hrs of slp.

BAC
When i woke up, went 2 do peer appraisal 2 rank all ure plt mates in 3 cat: most preferred fren, stress tolerance, ability 2 lead. do until super pek cheh. Den go 4 battle assault course in which we will simulate rifle fightin wif dummy. Damn sian obj is 2 b confident n aggressive thus got 2 apply "make-up" 4 1 last time. Thus frm 1 dummy 2 another dummy, we hav 2 YA........ (Got 2 hold like those yam seng durin weddin dinner) n run. While doin the combos on dummy, oso hav 2 Ya..Ya..Ya..! Realli like yaya papaya! my most hate stuff came back. Along the way bside fightin got combination of leopard crawl n BACK CRAWL! 1 rnd is enuff 2 make me realise it is damn tired 2 YA..... n run @ the same time! Unfortunately thx 2 some ah guas who cant b aggressive n YA.... properly we re-do the whole course again. YA..... until i no voice.

Live HG throw
Nxt day went 2 throw live hand grenade. but 1stly we got 2 practice thrwin drill grenade who onli gave out a pop sound. den went 4 the real 1. Got some pple throw live HG who ended up s blind( means the grenade wont xplode upon landin).So we got 2 wait 30min per blind b4 some special pple go in, set up C4 2 ignite the grenade. Got 1 sir best. when the rec @ his bay threw the grenade, he count 1000,2000,3000, 4000, 5000,6000,7000,8000,9000,CHIBYE! coz it is a blind. The cb is super loud lar coz he says it in2 the walkie talkie n all those havin WT get shocked by it. Got 1 incident when we kept our HG inside our SBO got 1 cockster throw a blind. We damn sian sit there waitin n we were like walkin bomb. Anithing wrong in our SBO we might explode. Soon my turn... Quite nervous but the sir @ my bay kept tokin cock wif mi. Heng when i threw no blind feel damn relieved or else pple will blanket party me. After tat went back n we prepared 2 bk out.

So fast! Nw onli left wif SOC test n POP 2 sum up my BMT! Feel quite happy but sad 2 depart frm such a wonderful platoon except 4 ...... Nw can onli c whether i can get in2 OCS or SISPEC.

Durin tis few days, keep tikin abt the army career thing. Some pple tell mi 2 sign on while some advise me dun sign on. Super sian. Suan le 走一步看一步吧.

Chi new yr

2006-01-29T22:57:00.000+08:00

Last Sunday was my 2nd time book in 2 tekong. Tis time more jialat father cant fetch me so got 2 take public transport. @ the same time cant pay student rate. On the way there got 1 uncle says i look more like a ncc cadet than an army recruit. Again bcoz of my height....

Tis wk everything in tekong so far so gd lar. 1st day had photo takin session n tat was the day i realised i am the shortest guy in my platoon coz got ht arrangement wan. @ 1st i tot got pple shorter than mi but i was wrong. Thus i had 2 b the centre man damn cock every1 tiltin 2 the left or right xcept 4 me n those PCs OCs n Sgts. Onli my plt sgt understand my situation coz he last time oso centre man.

Den tis wk oso hav IMT trainin in which we go practice usin m16 shootin by usin some advanced technology 2 simulate the live range shootin. Damn sian 1st lesson cock up like hell. My 1st grpin super jialat until plt sgt keep scoldin mi. Subsequently in the midst of his scoldin i improve a bit but in the last shoot my dots was like 1 30cm ruler wide. Tis time he scolds mi until i feel i damn useless. But heng in the nxt few lessons in the wk i improved n my eyes wont blur easily so end up my shoot @ snap n delibrate tgt score quite gd. Tis wk oso got tactical handlin test in which evey1 will surely pass wan.

Tis wk the PCs n Sgts begin 2 implement punishments on us. But still ok lar the punishment nt so unreasonable oso. Last time kenna ya ya papaya tis wk i say wah den muz shout out ah ah ah pa 4 10 times wif other pple who responds "ah!". Den we hav 2 ask permission 2 entertain the whole platoon. In addition, when we ask 4 permission 2 carry on wif our push up punishment, we muz say: "permission 2 keep fit sgt!" Damn cock. Ha anw tis wk we no need 2 do the 7 core values 4 our water parade coz orion 2 got new cheer.

Chui da chui da sibei chui da
Khor wa ji buai
pepsi cola
Ta!

Tis wk did a run thru the entire SOC. Heng didnt encounter much difficulty xcept 4 lo-rope. I use arm strength 2 go up but my sgts keep insistin me 2 redo usin the std method. End up do 5 times still consider fail despite i touch the top. Wah lao sibei du lan! Super sian everytime go dwn the jaccob ladder part always cock up n got once i almost fell den can gd bye 2 father day. Super suay did the monkey bar until hand got blister but hav 2 endure pain n continue. Tat day realise SOC nt s easy s i tot somemore i short which is a disadvantage 4 some obstacles. Got 2 improve my combat fitness more.

B4 bkin out, we went 2 throw dummy grenade 2 simulate the live grenade throwin nxt wk. Tis wk almost everyday will do chinup or buddha clap. Our PT starts 2 increase liao. Soon AGR timmin will increase n 30:60 will bcome 60:120. Pple i can assure once u go 2 the right company in tekong u definitely can bcome fit n get ure 6 or 8 pacs.

Tis wk oso had my army career interview. In the end i sort of made it wif my bunk mate so tis comin fri got 2 go 4 health screenin which means i will miss my IPPT test. Super sian got 2 make up which means 1 of the sat i may hav 2 book out late. Nxt wk will b quite hectic goin 2 hav 7 days field camp plus BIC plus live grenade throwin. Hopefully can treat the field camp like the ubin camp i had last time n dun end up blastin me n the safety officer wif the grenade. Haha!
Kk pple happi chinese new yr. 祝你们身体健康，狗年行大运!

10 days confinement

2006-01-21T17:58:00.000+08:00

Pai sei tis blog is goin 2 b long. Tat day haji evenin i sort of had mixed feelin. I was lookin 4ward 2 go back 2 tekong 4 trning. But @ the same time, i felt tat the book out was 2 short n i still missed my civilian life abit. Ha no matter still muz go pasir ris bus interchange 2 report.

Soon, find myself in tekong with my field pack clear out 4 inspection. Tis time brought hello panda biscuits n mentos 2 sort of satisfy my need 4 supper. i realli anticipated my nxt 10 days trnin. The 1st 2 days trngin super fun n shiok sia. But my nightmare happened on the third day. My left knee had sort of givin mi probs since jc. Tat day after my ippt test, my knee cant take it, endin up mi havin an excruciatin pain n got 2 go medical centre. Despite tat, i failed my shuttle run lar bcoz i slipped n fell n bcoz of the knee. Hweva there is things 4 me 2 happy abt coz my chinup, 2.4 n situp did much more than i expected. Ha SBJ still nt bad passed.

Sigh in the end i had 1 wk excuse frm RMJ(runnin march jumpin). @ 1st i tot it was ok lar 2 rest my knee. But frm the second day onwards, i was damn sian n depressed. Everyday c pple runnin, doin PT n footdrill while i cannot do. The feelin is realli veri jialat. @ the same time i oso missed 4km n 6km road march which is like trekkin wif loads n rifle. Super sian. Some of the days i waked up den whole day eat meals n attend lect n tat's all. Tis type of life in tekong realli veri horrible. Pple do PT while i will b asked 2 watch, b waterboy, toilet cleaner or cleaner. Liddat realli 度日如年. Damn sad! @ the same time, i realli scare the sergeants label mi s chao geng kia n lower my chance 2 go commandin sch.

Heng my sergeants allow mi 2 do upper body PT durin some trnin. Sian after 4 days still pain so the sergeants suggested mi 2 go c doc when i booked out. But heng on the last 2 days of RMJ i sort of nt so pain liao n sort of get involved in PT again. Eventually left wif 2 days 2 book out day n i can participate in all the activities again. I was realli veri happi despite losin my voice yet again. Swimmin, 30:60, CPT, movement drill, ST n footdrill i can do liao. The first PT since i injured the feelin is realli like damn shiok! Kk lar u all may tik i siao liao or garang freak!

But the 10 days nt bad. Got 2 noe alot of my platoon mates n bunk mates well. Learnt alot of army marchin songs which r veri nice n some r those dirty type. Ha den everytime i go bunk sing the geylang song until they tik i sick ar. Den my bunkmates kept sayin i goin 2 chiong geylang durin my bkout n tat kz told them nt 2 share stuffs wif mi coz i might spread STD 2 them. Ha damn cock lar they say i filthy minded they oso got tok abt such things. Ha the RMJ realli made mi show them my true col sia. Ha nw both aaron n kz realli scared of mi takin out the rifle sling, ET sticks n basha sticks n dropped their soaps on the floor when they r bathin. Overall, my bunkmates r damn fun n cooperative n everyday wif them is enjoyable n realli got a lot of cocks 2 tok!

Bside i oso get 2 noe alv's bunk mates alot n sometime join them 4 their tok cock session until they said i bcome their spy liao. His bunk realli got alot of nicknames lar all the king, queen n 老夫子. They even got Leonard Fan Club(1 of our sgts) . They even modify songs 4 Sgt Leonard damn cock n funny. Damn heng 2 hav such neighbours bside my bunks. 4 the 2 bunks, oso noe most of the pple liao. Ha most of them oso same freq s mi. Overall most of my platoon mates r veri cooperative n some of them even console mi durin my RMJ period. I oso got 2 noe my sgts well liao durin the RMJ period. Most funny is Sgt Leonard. He can realli cock wif us n got once he saw mi standin @ 1 side while doin PT so he came 2 mi n console mi wif tat type of cock face. Sgt Khamil, Sgt Aimran, Plt Sgt Wong all treat us veri well despite they can b strict. So far so gd 4 Orion PLT 2. Wif such gd life in Tekong i dun tik i will b homesick n will b overcome by sickness n fatigue easily but still i will miss my family n frens.

Nxt wk i got interview 4 the vacancy of combat specialist, guards officer n infantry officer since i dunno whether i can get in2 OCS. If the officer application is successful, i can sign on wif the army n get LSA 4 my uni study. But the priority is gettin the officer or specialist post rather than the scholarship. All in all, the interview is nt s impt s my BMT trngin period in whcih i will b accessed whether i can go in2 commandin sch. 4 Nw juz hope tat i can b well prepared 4 my interviews n dun screw them up. Anw thruout the remainin BMT phase i got 2 c whether the army lifestyle s a career is realli my passion n whether it will b interestin despite of the sacrifices i hav 2 make.

2day is our book out day. Every1 was feelin high on the ferry n bus. Ha my bunkmates all kept kbin tat i will go geylang 2nite. Instead, i went 2 c chi sinseh 2 sort of treat my knees abit nw shld b ok liao ba. Kk 2 long liao time 2 end liao. Those in BMTC hang in there. U all confirm can excel in it wan. Those haven gone in better go n train or else u will definitely suffer in army. Those wrkin hope tat u all hav a pleasant wrkin exp. Hopefully can spend a few days of my 6days chi new yr hol 2 go out wif u all. Pple take care!

Orion sch 2

2006-01-09T23:50:00.000+08:00

Ha on the day of enlistment super heng manage 2 meet wif stan n alv n sat 2gether durin the oath takin ceremony 2 mark the begining of our 2 yrs enlistment. But stan Orion company platoon 3 while mi n alv Orion comp platoon 2 n alv bunk is bside mine.

After the lunch wif my parents, we were separated 2 our platoon den get our packs n check the stuffs. Den the grand shavin ceremony. Within 2 min, my hair all gone. My bunk mates nt bad lar all willing 2 help one another summore got andy who is from sajc. Tat boon keng everytime kb mi but nvm i can oso kb abt his name. Ha my buddy, sean is frm dragon boat wah lao machaim like incredible hulk 1.5 times of my built lar. Alv section oso veri funny got alot of cocksters esp calvin. I go toilet urine he oso go toilet urine @ the same time. So he decided 2 call mi his urine buddy. My platoon sergeants, PC n sergeants oso nt bad. Ha our CSM oso another joker n when u c him, u wont even tik tat he is in charge of discipline.

These few days learn footdrill, army dresscode, SBO n helmet assemblin, gun drill.... Until nw sian my berhati still suck got 2 practice abit more. PT lesson still ok lar. Bcome the corridor IC n barrack damage 2nd IC. Say slack is slack lar but still got quite a no of stuffs 2 d0 n responsibilities. The food there nt bad well balanced lar. But dunno y i like suffered frm constipation 4 3 days until 2day reach hme den can shit.

In army, when sergeants ask u qns, always dun reply by 1 word like ya, hor, ar.... or else u can end up like mi go 2 a place 2 shout ya ya papaya loudly. Tik abt tis still makes mi laff. Machaim tongue twister. My platoon IC lagi the best sia. Check strength he go n say," Orion 2 check pwr!" Upon hearin tat, despite all of us r diam n in sedia pos, we cant stop laffin includin those sergeants. His helmet so camo net den other platoon sergeants c him den keep askin our platoon sergeant hw come our platoon got 1 person frm 1st guard or 3rd guard battalion. Laff until we buay tahan. But the worst is nt him. Got another person frm another platoon more zai. when his P.Serg asks him where is his IC(in-charge) is, he took out his NRIC card n shw the P.Serg. Damn joke. Pple in sedia n diam position oso cant resist n laff out loud.

16 days

2005-12-20T22:18:00.000+08:00

Time realli flies. Left wif 16 days 2 army liao but super jialat s quite a no of things not prepared yet. Haven go n made black plastic spec, haven run a 2.4km yet, haven buy tis n tat. So got 2 organise abit 4 the nxt few wks. 2ml go swim, gym den run n time my 2.4km. If under such circumstances n i can still run abt 10min plus, wah i will b veri satisfired liao liao. Den thurs got 2 wait 4 singtel pple come 2 check on my internet connection. Act supposed 2 go kbox wif jm they all but in the end cant liao due 2 tis. Realli pai sei jm. Fri trngin day again. Sigh job lobang oso gone case liao n go out oso need 2 spend $$ which i dun hav much liao.

4 the nxt wk shld oso b liddat ba coz nuthing much liao xcept 4 preparation.Tik tis remainin wks will b quite difficult n hard 2 pass. After 2 memorable yrs in sajc wif fitness n 04S72, it can b quite difficult 2 move on wif another chapter of life. Ha mayb thru tis process i will learn hw 2 let go ba. Ha but life is nt so unfair afterall coz i m able 2 enter BMTC sch 2 wif alv, stanley n yuqiang on the same day n on the same time slot. Who noes later end up all 3 of us @ diff company. It will b realli like 一场欢喜一场空. A glimmer of hope shatters. Ha no matter wad, tat's life rite. Anw juz checked tat on 7 March will b our passin out parade 4 sch 2 pple while sch 1 pple on 8 march.

Happen 2 come across a story so decide 2 share wif all of u. Ha it may sounds childish. There was a farmer who had a farm @ a remote place. One day, he managed 2 find an injured bird wif a beautiful set of glittering silver feathers on the hill so he decided 2 bring it back 2 nurse its wound. The silver bird was veri glad that the farmer saved its life n everyday it wld sing melodiously 2 the the farmer. The farmer realli felt tat the beautiful silver bird was realli like a gift frm heaven 4 him. He wld feed n praise the bird everyday until 1 day.

On tat day, a woodcutter who was restin @ the farmer's place told the farmer tat he once saw a gold bird whose feather is alot of times more beautiful than the silver bird n its singin is much more melodious than the silver bird. Upon hearin tat, the farmer attitude 2wards the silver bird change. He sighed n told the silver bird tat no matter hw much it sang n hw many rnds it flew arnd him, the gold bird in his mind will still b much better than it. The silver bird was sad 2 hear tat.

On its day of recovery, it flew arnd n sang 2 the farmer 4 the last time n left the farmer. Just s the silver bird was flyin 2wards the settin sun, the farmer began 2 realise tat the gold bird was actually the silver bird under the settin sun when the sunlight shone on its feather. All along, the farmer had the gold bird s his possession but yet he dunno hw 2 cherish it n thus he ended up wif nothing.

No matter wad b content wif wad u hav n cherish them. Who noes the something u wanted is arnd u n yet u nvr realise it. By the time u realise it, it mayb 2 late liao. Or u realise it n yet didnt do anithing but wait 4 things 2 happen or make the wrong decision just like the farmer. Ultimately, u might lose it n end up regrettin like the farmer. Howeva, there r always certain circumstances tat will inevitably lead 2 such outcome. Since the beginin, u tell ureself u dun wan 2 regret n thus u r goin 2 do something abt it. But in the end it is the situation or the circumstance which realli leaves u @ ure wit's end despite ure eagerness 2 do something abt it. 束手无策. Ha enuff of crap time 2 end liao.

2005-12-11T22:35:00.000+08:00

Yesterday woke up @ 6 liddat den got 2 rush 2 labrador adven centre 2 meet wif huihan andy n gk by 8. We got 2 redo the trek 4 the junior 2 get all the timings correctly such tat they can plan their day plan successfully. Ha after the prev day exp i decided nt 2 wear sleeveless coz the slings of the bag will cause friction on the shlder n i prepared boxer. Wah tat day we got 2 finish the bloody trek in 6hrs. Upon hearin tat, i was like ji pai jialat liao

Soon we started off wif full load, like wad gk said machiam some suicide bombers chiong sua liddat. Tis time the trek oso sort of change 1st stop telok blangah hill park. Trekin wif the 3 of them confirm nt sian wan if sian hor the 3 of them will definitely find way 2 jack mi wan. Tat day got new nick thx 2 gk. Along the way he kept sayin F for fit, F for funny, F for....... n den worst sang the hello kitty song but he modified 2 hello fitty. Den i was like wah kao fitty i tot was a diaper brand. We quite efficient veri fast covered TBHP, mount faber, lab park, Kent ridge n west coast n den time 2 head back.

We headed back 2 sch n opened the gym. Nt bad we finished in 6.1 hrs thx 2 our continuous pia-ing. Den discussed some stuffs wif mr lim n decided 2 use the gym. Although i avoided deltoid work out but in the end did a bit of work out den tat's it liao. After tat went hme n total shut dwn.

2day veri happy thx 2 yuqiang n yizhi. They intro a job lobang which is go sell printer. $40 a day plus commision if i nt wrong. The best thing is can choose either wkdays or wkends 2 wrk. Left wif 3 more wks 2 army n i still can make some quick money 2 spend. Hope tat i can pass the interview. Tokin abt job shld tok abit abt my prev jobs.

1st job yoshinoya. My 1st day spent the entire time inside the kitchen fried stuffs n preparin order. Yoshinoya is a demandin fast fd restaurant alot of stuff realli need 2 DIY nt like those in which most food r made in factory den when it was time 2 serve juz reheat. In yoshinoya, the beef got 2 cook manually n tasted b4 served. Cook rice n scoop rice n prep order oso got procedures 2 follow n muz b precise. Den slowly upgrade 2 cut veg, make coleslaw, spread chicken... Den followed by counter n den dish washer. Everything was fine wif mi until the change of manager. She super zai tik i superman liddat. When customers in, she went chattin on the fone while i like siao kia runnin arnd in kitchen cookin stuffs n preparin stuffs. Den when closin save labour let mi do the entire kitchen closin wash everything, wash floor n worst change the oil of the fryers all by myself. The worst thing is she nvr follow the company policy 2 raise my pay every 6 mths.

Wah i damn pissed n gek but bobian she's the boss wad. Finally my cousin saved mi frm hell n he intro mi 2 giordano job. Again i got a demandin job. Once u c customer come in, MUZ greet n once u c them leave MUZ say thx u see u again. Wah den i MUZ put on a smile everyday. Sometime got some customers u c their face oso no mood 2 smile n u c them lao yu shen wif ure clothes u oso cannot smile liao. Den core items got 2 memorise the item codes until i blur sia. Den no matter wad the whole place muz b tidy so i got 2 serve n keep foldin clothes. After tat learn cashier but 1st day i got 2 pay $50 shortage. Cashier jialat muz reveal some fabric knowledge like dun wash cotton clothes wif hot water or else will shrink den muz push items oso. Den when shop closed got 2 vaccuum, mop n wipe the mirrors. Seems tiring but tis job is much better than yoshinoya can meet alot of diff type of pple everyday n can interact wif them oso. Den i was transferred frm bugis 2 northpt n tat began my honeymoon period ultimate happy wrkin. But in the common test caused mi 2 giv up the job. Again 2 long like storybk liao time 2 end. Nxt entire fitness wk liao!

12 kg n 24 km trek

2005-12-09T16:05:00.000+08:00

Soon tat gk left 4 his chalet n the juniors n huihan returned n mr lim came back frm his course. Den hui han n i oversee the juniors conduct their dry run. Veri glad tat they hav improved liao n their proposal realli quite zai liao. Soon nite came n hui han n i went out 2 da bao dinner 4 all of us s the juniors still hav 2 finish their dry run b4 the nite trek. Wah i didnt noe got nite trek or else confirm wear boxer 2 prevent abrasion. So bobian i told the j1 guys 2 zham powder if they not wearin boxer.

After the dinner, we loaded up n prepare our trek. Mr lim wanted hui han n i 2 set a gd eg so he asked us 2 try carryin 12 kg which=8 bottles of 1.5 lit. 4 army sake, bobian got 2 try. I suay didnt bring the right bag so i had 2 carry hui han back pack @ the back n carried my backpack in front while huihan used mr lim's backpack. Front view like pregnant back view like turtle. After carryin 4 awhile, i tik the load is ok ba. 1st stop labrador park 2 conduct some nite walk activity. Upon reachin a pt in labrador park, I decided 2 take a photo of every1. 2 dark liao n i didnt watch my step so ended up i falled off frm the edge of staircase n landed on butt n backpack. Luckily the impact mostly is on the backpack den on my butt or else i tik i ended up in hosp liao. Although my butt abit pain but i decided 2 continue. Nxt stop mount faber park peak.

Along the journey we got jokers like yun xiang n benjamin who realli cock alot or else the trek will b veri sian. Ha the trek 2 mount faber will realli make the canoein club pple tulan. We were like movin along the circumference of mount faber b4 makin our way up. Like wad another joker zheng cai said, the canoein club by tat time will alreadi jiao dolong liao. Upon reachin the peak, it began 2 rain heavily n luckily we got nearby shelter n we managed 2 meet up wif mr lim,kevin, zhilong n zhengcai. Once it rained it nvr stopped so we got 2 spend our time @ the shelter n tat shelter damn cramped up so got 2 sit up n slp. Ha the j1 veri kuai lan all the sentry job leave 2 zhilong 2 do. So mi n huihan sat up n try 2 help zhilong abit but in the end sometime we oso dozed off. Haha! Super suay my both feet got blister liao but heng got bring oxide spray 2 ease the pain so i NT TAT FIT 2 b MR FIT. @ least i much heng than yun xiang who kenna abrasion n got 2 walk like a gorilla. My hp oso no bat liao damn suay.

By nxt mornin the rain ceased so we had a can food breakfast n moved on 2 telok blangah park peak. By tat time, a lot of us were veri tired liao so we got 2 keep usin 2 words like push on or press on 2 motivate every1. Upon reachin our destination, we rested 4 a while n moved on 2 kent ridge park peak. By the time we reached there i ver shagged liao. While they doin their obstacle course i decided 2 take a rest. Tat huihan realli like energiser sia so he SHLD b the MR FIT. After tat we moved 2 NUS Art Fac 2 hav our lunch n den move 2 clementi woods followed by our last destination west coast park. After tat the journey back 2 lab adven centre is veri long but since it is our last pt of trek, alot of pple veri cooperative kept pushin on n ended up reachin lab adven centre early than xpected. The entire trek lasted abt 14 hrs inclusive of 5hrs stuck @ mount faber lar.

Wah the feelin of takin the backpacks off my back damn shiok but damn pain. Bcoz the friction of the backpack my shlder skin sort of got burnt liddat n my blister pain is like seasoned off. Wah it was like 4 plus liao n i got animal n soccer gang steamboat dinner later 2nite. I faster changed shirt n rushed 2 take bus 2 cck. I slpt thruout the bus ride n den took mrt hme. Reached hme liao den got 2 clean up n rushed out again. So met wif kel, shuheng, sj, zhen hong n songyee @ bb mrt den we walked 2 favian hse. Veri funny coz we like need 2 pay $$ 4 the steamboat b4 we can go in2 the hse like the bridegroom givin $$ 2 pple preventin him 2 go in2 the hse 2 get the bride.

The steamboat was damn sumptous got a variety of sausages, pig liver, live prawn, la la, the bao1 bei, meat, fishball, meatball, fish, toufu, wanton made by them, sotongball etc. Soon the hungry ghost festival started n s usual, we kept jackin 1 another durin the dinner. Realli got 2 thx dog, zhiyuan, zhikai, favian n mark 4 preparin all tis. So in the end we washed up instead of them. After tat we played Mafia which is damn fun. Sh n zhiyuan kept bickering one another while we tried 2 cheat n lie throughout the game. Tat sj realli veri zai can giv tat type of innocent face even though he is the mafia while i say i healer pple vote mi out n when i was mafia said i was healer they still voted mi out. We played until 12 plus den left.

2005-12-09T15:23:00.000+08:00

Tis wk quite happening until i too tired 2 blog n not much time 4 me to blog oso. Luckily tis wk happenin does nt involve gays like last wk. On mon my 1st time 2 go clubbin n luckily my frens n my class pple most oso 1st timer. Yes i told alot of pple i dun like 2 club but in the end since army due in 3wks liddat so consider tis s a last few class outing b4 i go tekong n somemore quite a no of guys n my other class guys r on abt tis so i better dun turn them dwn.

On sun, went 2 my cousin's hse 2 get a long sleeved shirt. Bo bian broke liao cant afford 2 buy a new 1. Howeva i wear plain long sleeve look realli veri funny. Again got 2 trouble my aunt go get a short sleeved blue shirt which ended mi being called a tiko pei by jm they all. Tat day met @ 7 with gk, jm, alv, wg, hm, hf n wc. Tat gk veri funny came out 4get 2 take his ticket so got 2 go hme 2 take. He oso super suay spoil his fren digital cam so i tried 2 help him by walkin arnd orchard 2 ask whether can repair in 1 day. Unfortunately cannot so he had 2 send 2 factory. The remainin of us just walk arnd n took some photos den went taka 4 some food.

@ abt 9 plus we met hp,ant,teck khoon n olivia @ orchard n den tat gk managed 2 catch up wif us. So we went 2 outside indochime n waited 2 go in. Den yizhi n cheryl met wif us n cheryl passed us the tickets. While waiting we oso took some photos..... While waiting, i oso saw alot of my sec sch frens gate crashin the post prom party. 1st 1 is jermaine who went overseas study. Wah she realli changed alot liao n bcame sort of open minded such tat the style of greeting one another realli different n sort of shocked mi. After tat, saw hongching, mingren n ah sim. Den in the club i met up wif say lin who crashed wif his ac frens.

When we can go in we hurry chiong in such tat we can find some place 2 sit dwn. Den we go get our free drinks. Again take some photos. Wah den alv,wg,hm n ant went mac 2 eat, leavin mi n jm n gk arnd. @ 1st veri sian no 1 dance n we just sat there chit chat. Howeva, soon the dance floor started 2 fill up n some of us went 2 dance. But i was quite hesitant 2 go n dance so stayed back n took care of the stuffs. Den aaron joined me so both of us stayed back n tok cock. @ abt 10 plus toon pang, wei xiong n andy came so i went 2 find them n drink wif them. Den gk suggested we go dance so we all go chiong the dance floor. A noob like mi just anihow shake n try 2 mimic others. Haha! Time passed veri quickly when dancing. We had been dancin 4 abt an hr liao so we went back 2 our seat

Den tp, ws, gk n mi decided 2 share 1 jug of beer since we oso dunno wad 2 drink. Tat jug veri costly 35 bucks lar. Soon after we chiong the beer den we go dance again. Ha i bcame quite enjoyed of dancin until something happen. The ger in front of mi kept pushin back n back, causin mi 2 move back again n again until i reachin a statue. Wah i super tulan so bobian i left the dance floor n went 2 sit dwn again.

After a while went out 2 find tp n ws who went 2 buy drinks n soon, the party ended n every1 came out. Den my class pple n gk, tp, teck khoon, ws n a new guy we knew durin the club decided 2 walk 2 the nearest 24 hr cafe. Realli pai sei 4 the long trek n my habit of tendency of trek after events. The nxt post u will noe y i like 2 trek so much liao. In the end, yizhi n hf took cab n went hme while hp waited 4 her father cab 2 take her n her fren hme while we ended up in plaza mac havin our breakfast @ 5am liddat. After tat took 106 wif jm n ws 2 bb n den i switched 2 178 2 hme. Wah nvr hav i tot tat clubbin is fun but i tik i will go but like once 2 mth liddat coz go there like burin ure money s everything is so expensive. Kk time 4 another post.

Overnite Cyclin

2005-12-03T13:39:00.000+08:00

Nw juz reached hme frm my overnite cycling wif shuheng, kel, dog, sj n zhen hong. Juz finish bathing so no mood 2 slp so decided 2 blog. Wah the trip was realli fun n exciting. Realli got 2 thx all of them takin care of me durin the trip s i juz learnt cycling onli n dun mind mi being a burden 2 slow dwn their journey.

In order 2 prepare 4 the trip, i slpt the entire mornin den go out 4 lunch den go hme n slpt until evening. After tat met wif them @ jurong mrt station @ 8 plus. By abt 9 plus we reached east coast park liao so we went 2 get the bikes immediately. Wah the auntie there very gd gave us very gd bike n gd rates. $7 4 overnite until nxt mornin 11am. Upon hearin tat, i realised tat the bloody changi Mr Bike shop cheated us lar. $12 4 using frm morn 2 afternoon n the bike super lousy type. After getting our bikes we cycled 2 the hawker centre 4 some light snacks. Damn suay lar. Halfway 2 the hawker centre, there was a heavy dwnpour n resultin us gettin wet when we reached the hawker centre. But nvm it didnt affect my appetite n i went 2 order alv's suggested prawn mee(soup) n juz nice got five prawns 2 giv 2 5 of them. When we finished our food, the heavy dwnpour bcame light drizzle so we decided 2 start our cyclin.

So we split in2 2 grps 2 c who will reach Bedok mrt 1st. Dog,me n zhen hong 1 grp while sh,kel n sj another grp. My grp gong gong go traced our way back 2 eunos mrt den 2 kembangan but unfortunately frm kembangan 2 bedok is actually tunnel so we r unable 2 follow the track n ended up delayin alot of time. Tat sj super zai dunno hw he cut when we reached kembangan they alreadi reached bedok liao. Upon reachin bedok, we went 7-11 2 buy some other stuffs 2 eat. After tat, we decided 2 head 2 changi village so sj led the way. Erm he quite smart cut thru bedok reservoir den use the tampines park connector 2 tampines n den use the sun plaza park connector 2 link 2 pasir ris park. Finally, cycle along pasir ris drive 3, followed by loyang ave n den CV. By the time we reached there, it was abt 3 am liao.

Tat sj bloody hell. Asked him 2 lead us 2 hawker centre rite he led us 2 the carpark which has a lot of gays coz he always likes 2 look @ them n i tik his ass itchy oso. Wah lao eh damn alot of gays tat nite. All super tall sia n wear until i c liao i can puke sia. Make up so thick @ nite c them machiam kua dio gui. When i got in the 1st thing i want 2 get the hell out of there asap. Den we cycled 2 a zebra crossin whereby got 2 gays standin there occupy the narrow path so much so we decide 2 1 by 1 cycled past them. Sh n i was the last 2. I dun even dare 2 look @ them lar. When sh was cyclin past them, 1 of them suddenly wanted 2 block his way den he quickly ciao. Unfortunately i oso kenna. Wah i was like ..............(all the vulgarities i can tik of) Heng i managed 2 siam. Basket sia they oso dunno hw 2 choose pple. I juz learn cyclin onli n if he/she blocks mi he/she will most likely kenna crashed by mi wan. Den all her silicon implanted breasts might burst or her oranges might even roll out frm her bra. Bodoh machiam babi sia. Wah after siamin he/she, i quickly cycle damn fast coz they all like got super long legs n the legs like more muscular than mi sia so better cycle fast or else thjey run after mi den die liao. After such a close shave, both mi n sh damn tulan n started kannin sj. After tat, we went kopitiam n ate our supper n tok cock until 4am.

Den @ 4am we decided 2 take a shorter route 2 go back but most of the route hav 2 cycle along the main rd n even a part of ECP which was illegal. b4 we left, we decided 2 head 2 7-11 2 buy drinks. When i was outside waiting wif my fren, suddenly a veri feminine voice,"excuse mi" I turn arnd n omg 2 diff gays again. Wah lao eh got adam apple n dunno hw he/she sounds so feminine summore. I faster siam n asked my frens 2 hurry up. So we decided 2 exit thru another car park. Hweva we didnt noe the other carpark oso got bapoks n dunno which idiot go rang his bicycle bell. N den i heard a manly voice but quite unclear something like U wan our svc. Wah upon hearin tat my wanton noodle was like almost come out frm my stomach n i faster cycle the hell out of there.

After gettin out of tat horrendous carpark, we cycled 2wards the SAF jetty where my parents will b sendin mi off 2 a holiday resort in tekong nxt mth n den cycle past almost the whole entire changi airport landin area n takin off area. Wah the view was damn nice lar when u c the plane takin off or landin. The rd nt much vehicles but if got they travelled veri quickly. So we muz b veri careful n got 2 cycle the veri inner lane n got 2 constantly look back 2 check out 4 cars. @ the same time, the bike shop got gave us brake light oso so shld b ok. Den we oso passed an area where sh said last time he kenna chased by a pack of dogs so we tried 2 cycled slealthily. Ha luckily we got dog arnd so in the end no dogs chased after us. Den we finally reached the ECP section. 2 my surprise the ECP section is juz a 1 min turn onli n den it is back 2 rd liao so shld nt b consider illegal liao. Den the remainin route 2 east coast super shiok all straight path n dun even hav ani single vehicles. Soon, we cut in2 1 of the east coast park n saw a lot of vehicles got curtains or put newspaper. haha veri obvious rite. So we kuai lan we cycled past n kept ringin our bike bells.

By 5 plus we reached the mac @ east coast so we decided 2 play bridge until 9 am 2 go n return our bike. tat dog the prev day went out wif gf the entire nite oso so he realli dong buai diao so he left 1st leavin the 4 of us playin bridge. Ha sh was damn pissed when he was my partner coz i kept sabohin him. But in the end sj was the ultimate saboh king super zai kept feedin every1 rgdless whether the person is his partner realli confuse all of us. Soon 9am liao we returned bike n went back eunos 2 take 61 back bb. Den they still got energy 2 go play street soccer but i oso dong buai diao so go hme. Wah nw quite tired liao better turn in liao!

Chalet days

2005-12-01T23:21:00.000+08:00

Last wk until 2day, quite busy with the chalet stuff n oso veri tired due 2 my trainings s well. 2day chalet finally over liao so got time 2 blog. Ha pls bear wif me s this blog is only 2 b veri long. Erm let's start with mon, 28 Nov

On tat day, busy packin the mornin den went 2 jp 2 meet jm n alv 2 buy present 4 alex n some camp stuffs. Den went 2 giant 2 buy somemore camp stuffs. Wah tat day both mi n alv like damn cocked up. Dunno y he bcome so blur while i kept hallucinating stuffs oso. 963 i tot is 969 n kept hearin my hp rang even though it didnt. Both of us spent abt 15 min lookin 4 a bottle of honey n abt 20 min 4 marshmallow despite walkin past it. After tat rushed hme n den took my pack out 2 go stan's hse 2 meet jm,alv n aaron. Stan's parents n his neighbour r veri friendly n even allow us 2 use their fridge 2 store our food. Howeva stan cant go 2 the chalet s he last min den realise it crashed wif his church camp. Can c he was disappointed tat he cant go 4 the chalet tat he oso actively planned. Tat nite, after preparin the stuffs n disturbin pple on msn, we realli buay tahan n went slp.

The nxt day, we woke up early 2 go mkt 2 get some other stuffs n breakfast. When we came back, we tot we can relax 4 a while b4 the chalet. Howeva we were wrong. Stan's mum got help pple take care children. When we came back, the 3 of them kept clingin on us since we were the guests n thus we bcame part time baby sitter. Wah tis is the worst time i had wif children even my cousin who is so kuai lan is even better than them. Mayb we handle them wrongly by keep allowin them 2 do what they want in the 1st place den caused them 2 hav the assumption tat we will giv in 2 them when they cried or whined. By the time we left stan's hse 4 chalet, we were like 剩半条命 n my right arm kenna scribbled like siao. Leave oso muz giv them our hp no n draw my arm last time or else they cry n they called us almost immediately when we left the hse.

2 much stuffs 2 carry so bo bian we took cab dwn 2 pasir ris. Just nice when our class pple arrived, we can check in 2 our chalet liao. Once check in we quickly settled dwn n den prepared 4 the bbq. Hweva in the end, it rained heavily when we were bbqin halfway n coz the green club pple 2 waste their trip dwn 2 our chalet s they didnt manage 2 eat much b4 they left. The rain realli caused us 2 sian jibua n ended up us playin PS n mahjong thruout the nite. Ha tat day played WE8 like siao kept shoutin like siao pple. Play mahjong den kept crappin wif alv, hm n sus. Ha since tat nite, there's 1 more 1 animal in our class which is a malayan tapir n the person is hm. Tat hm dunno wad play mahjong always keep tong zi until we tulan n said he got fetish 4 breasts den he finally stopped. Haha! Play until 5 plus den we slpt

The 2nd day woke up after few hrs of slp den went play bball n soccer wif jm, alv,alex, aaron, rich, hf, weichen n beining. Wah after runnin arnd 4 a while, i cannot liao so tis DEFINITELY conclude tat i m NOT mr fit. After tat went back 2 chalet. Act wanted 2 go kayakin wan. But we were realli out of schedule liao n i got 2 help aaron 2 prepare stuffs 4 bbq n the water bomb game. B4 evening, we were playin mahjong n realised there is some pple super jialat. Haha! i took 1 tiles n anihow say zi mo n the person realli blieve n show all tiles n want 2 xi pai liao. After playin mahjong, play teken 4 wif alex n jm. Damn funny some character damn crap pray 2 heaven den can heal wan. Laff until like siao. By evenin, we started the fire n began the hungry ghost feast n chiong the satays, prawns n chicken wings n sotong balls. Eat until i lose my voice liao nw sounds quite similar 2 hm liao. 2pid hf throw waterbomb @ mi when i was least xpectin it. She was like sayin, "my fren n i..." n den pop 1 packet landed on my back. Say she veri zai veri gd @ playin waterbomb liddat. den the 2nd time throw 1 bomb @ mi frm close range n it deflected off without burstin. Veri zai rite? Haha!

After bbq, we started our water bomb game. Realli basket lar i just wanted 2 take some water bomb n keep it 4 every1 sake. Instead of appreciating my effort all threw water bomb @ me. Nvm i got stand by pail n styrofoam box in the kitchen. When the game started it seems like the guys r hitting @ 1 another but tis is a 调虎离山之计 plus 声东击西 tactic. When the gers r left near the bbq pit n the guys out of the place, we start our waves of artillery of water bomb. When we finished rite, like war, we will need 2 hav a temporary base so the kitchen bcame our base where we load our ammunition. Den we upgraded our weapon 2 pails n styrofoam box n kept lvlin up. The game is 1 sided n a total ownage 4 the guys. But in the end i oso kenna 3 buckets of water n 1 is detergent somemore. After tat, damn tired liao so go bathe 1st n den play 3 rnds of mahjong. Again tis conclude tat i NT mr fit. After tat, mi n jm went in n saw alex slpin liao. Suddenly he woke up n like say: jiaming ar ni h............................ Like Sai Gong, reciting some prayers, leavin mi n jm in a daze. After his recitation, he fell asleep again liao. Soon i oso fell asleep n began 2 snore wif increasin high freq n pitch accordin 2 jm. Muz b 2 tired liao coz i seldom snore wan.

The nxt day woke up early n helped 2 clear up some of the stuffs. Den went 2 wake pple up n saw junjie havin cold turkey in 1 of the rm damn funny. Bloody hell the 2pid chalet still got the cheek 2 charge us 4 the towels which cost abt $13.60 despite havin a breedin grnd 4 mosquitoes @ the back of the hse, causin all of us 2 get mosquitoes bite. After tat, take some photo wif the class n the gers headed hme while the guys went 2 play pool n lan gaming. During lunch discuss alot of stuffs n realised tat i didnt noe alot of things tat is goin on oso. 2day cs was veri fun s my team consists of alex, gk, jm n alvin super cooperative durin de_dust, enabled us 2 win alot of rnds. Alvin's ilali veri zai while hm n ant famas plus carbine oso owning. After tat went 2 learn 2 play battlefield 2. It is a veri realistic modern warfare 1st player shootin game. Much better n difficult 2 play compare 2 cs s u can do alot of stuffs such s drivin heli, jets, jeeps n even tanks n deploy alot of tactics like artillery barrage or UAV. but tis game need alot of pple 2 play in order 2 b fun. So nxt time may hav 2 get our whole class guy 2 go n play. 2 bad the gers dun even noe hw 2 play cs so most prob they cant play tis game. Or else 20-25 pple play tis game confirm will b like modern battlefield liao. After gamin, went hme n slpt

Kk 2 long liao. Got 2 slp liao 2ml nite still hav 2 go overnite cycling wif animal gang. Bcoz of chalet n my trainin, dun hav time 2 go out wif them so hav 2 make up 2 them. KK 04s72 pple c u all soon!

Job interview

2005-11-23T15:22:00.000+08:00

Realli crap sia. Pple who wan 2 look 4 job lobang end up wif limited lobang. On the other hand, pple who dun wan 2 work end up havin a lot of lobangs. Anw i nvr realli intend 2 wrk durin tis mth b4 my army enlistment. But after constantly hearin lobangs frm my frens n summore my savings keep on diminishin n @ hme veri sian, so decided 2 go wrk. Last nite dog called mi 2 meet him tis mornin 2 go yio chu kang 4 interview 4 factory wrk.

2day mornin i oso didnt wear appropriately 4 the interview coz factory interview wad confirm no need 2 wear until so formal. When we reached yck, wah alot of pple were there fillin some application forms so we went 2 hav a look. Den we realised there was no interview onli some fillin up of application forms onli but lookin @ the amt of pple there i seriously doubt tat we can get the job. But we decided 2 try pur luck. Wah the factory is actually Motorola in AMK n the schedule is just like all the Sats n Suns in Dec no need 2 wrk on wkday. Hweva, no hrly pay but payment by 3 days. In the end, both dog n i went 2 apply 4 all the six days dec night shift frm 8pm-8am which will fetch abt $400 ba. Nw can onli wait 4 the call liao. Anw if u wan 2 wrk can get the contact no frm mi.

@ the same time, i oso asked my cousin wrkin in poster factory whether got job vacancy 4 potential army boys like us. He said he will help us 2 find out. If all of tis cannot, shld b goin sportslink 2 wrk despite the cheaper pay rate since dog says most likely can. If liddat still cannot den i tik i go back yoshinoya b kitchen crew again since my prev colleagues asks mi 2 go back.

Jialat sia nw still rainin. Dunno whether can c animals in night safari?
