Please read

The post below is a very very long post. But especially to GERARD, ellen, gen, yiting, tricia, chin ee and kelvin, please do take the time to read it. dun just skim through it. please.
and to shun cheng, read it as well. haha.

thanks!

Liverpool end Chelsea's 86-game unbeaten home record

Wow the above is like one great bday present man. Chelsea 0-1 Liverpool. No need for 80-90 min goals some more. Ok i shan't elaborate on details for the sake of a good friend by the name of genevieve. Who happens to support chelsea. In fact if the same thing had happened to liverpool, i would be pretty sad too.

And so, i checked the epl fixture list. Don't worry, the return liverpool vs chelsea fixture at anfield doesn't fall on dec 12 =) or dec 11 or dec 13 for that matter.

Anyway, thanks for an even greater bday present from the usual ppl! being gen, ellen, yiting, tricia, gerard, chin ee and kelvin. yups! and a few short messages for u ppl in reply for ur long messages!
To chin ee: eh hurry up graduate then i go take mc from u!
To yiting: uni shld get better soon lah! or at least hopefully! I'm sure someone of your calibre will pull through fine!
To ellen: hey kiappy girl! yup of course i miss rj days! esp now that they going to change rjc name. i dun even know what to comment abt that. anyway, stay happy too! and study hard!
To gerard: shall i type random things to fill this space up too? haha. well anyway now u're completely on track wif regards to my status wif wl le. haha
To kelvin: hello u envy my slack life??? look in the mirror and envy that person instead. I think he's having a hell of a great time. and hey we can still dota again some day! even though i no longer hav wc3 in my comp le.
To gen: 1 yr more to ord! and then another 10 months to start of uni? nah i've a few things to work on alrdy before i ord, which i hav a feeling i wun be able to complete them. be safe and healthy and happy too! don't ever be a stranger =)
To tricia: hey u nvr write! but i understand! poor you got so much work to do u had to come late to timbre! anyway work hard!

in addition,
To shun cheng: hey take care in thailand k! Crescendo is a tough place. But you're an even tougher guy! just dun navigate wrongly and ambush own forces!

Anyway, with regards to the wu lei thing, i'm all right k. Been prepared for this way back when i enlisted le. yup. just didn't expect it to take this long. lol. Her decision is her decision lah. just respect it lor. And before gerard starts another 'hey now that you're free from the shackles of wu lei u can go for ellen" gossip, let's make it clear that I HAVE NO INTEREST IN ELLEN WATSOEVER. not yet at least. still dun believe? let's put this into perspective.

starting with my bday wish. Unless you guys tried really hard to lip-read me when i was making my wish i doubt any of u will know wat my wish is. Here it is. I hope to be able to accomplish many things in my remaining 1 year in NS. 1. Help my little cousin improve his study grades. which is why i'm giving him free tuition every saturday. 2. learn driving. 3. learn both the guitar and piano to a proficient level. 4. climb 1 mountain. 5.take at least 2 non-saf related courses. 6. complete 5 characters in diablo II before diablo III comes out. 7. Save at least $15000.

All this to do with 2 free days each week, barring the 14 days of leave and random burning of weekends. I don't even think it's possible to complete le, like i told gen above. add in a "8. get a girlfriend" to the equation and you might want to explain to me how all this can work out. A girl, ellen or wu lei or any girl for that matter will mean time, compromising point 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6, as well as money, compromising point 7. Getting a girl will either mean a complete destruction of those objectives, or being very very very unfair to the girl by hardly spending any time with her.

Believe me now, gerard? and anyone else who think so too(lz, kel?)?

Anyway, i hope the above doesn't sound too harsh(to gerard) You know, i can take a photo with yiting, with tricia, with gen with complete ease, but sometimes i dun even dare to take a photo with ellen. So gerard, please? If u believe what i said above, tone down on the teasing. you dun hav to remove it completely if u feel uncomfortable but at the very least, tone down. really. yup.

Anyway, the above is just an explanation of what i'd like to do. and hopefully come next yr i can complete 90% of those things. Only then will it look like a better time to get a girlfriend =)

anyway, once again thanks for a great bday!


p.s i actually can't believe i'm paying $170 per month of insurance premiums. If someone murders me now, my parents will be rich.

lalala

hey guys, let's post smthing!

like if we get 1 post per person will hav qte abit of posts le. even if it's random crap like the type me and lu zhou post.

anyway, had 2 family days recently. one organised by my father's company at sentosa. not as good as previous yr's organisation, but this yr we actually won qte abit of prizes. beach soccer 3rd and lucky draw 6th =). though i think my father is giving the lucky draw prize(Sony Wi-Fi) to his colleague who gave me the free tickets in the first place(the winning ticket was originally the colleague's) =(.

the other one was organised by my unit, 2pdf, in celebration of their anniversary. My friends weren't exactly enthusiastic abt it, seeing that it was an army thingy, so we ended up laming arnd and practically wasted half our day away. Which i tot was damn ultra dumb, cuz since u're alrdy going to lose half the day, y not spend it meaningfully? furthermore the thingy was held at HortPark, this gardening hub thingy(never heard of it right? i didn't before this either), so i kinda wanted to explore it. nvm i'll explore it again some other time. wanna go ther class outing or smthing? though i foresee non-nature/outdoor lovers getting extremely bored. I'm like from odac so i'll be excited u see.

and my current ipsc(installation protection and security course) is a stay-out course so i'm at home every night! for this week only. transport fares hurt though...

there's a meteor shower peaking tmr! at arnd midnight i think, can't rmb, been a long time since i lasted touched any astronomy stuff. shun cheng correct me if u know any better. anyway, this one is the orionids, which has a very small peak number, not really worth watching to beginners. only good thing is that its position in the sky is easy to find. comes frm Orion constellation(hence orionids)! I'm sure u all know how to recognise orion.

haha ok see random shit can type so long post le. eh all go spend like 5-10 mins type smthing leh. yups.

_

Since posts are wanted, I'll just post a bit abt recent events in my life.

This week was a number of firsts for me. First of all, I reported sick for the first time. Partly bcos we had SOC training. My knee had been swelling over the past day, apparently accumulated pus was causing hurt to my joint whenever i bent the knee or exerted pressure on it.

Then the doctor said that the faster way to recover was to make an incision to drain out the pus. So I had my first taste of anesthetic that day too. After that, he informed me to go to the medical centre to change dressing every subsequent day. So that means that I'll have to go 'report sick' everyday. Keng ah.

And tuesday was the first time we booked out in the evening before the sun set. lol

'I find your lack of faith disturbing.'

- Darth Vader, StarWars Ep IV

that, is the coolest phrase in all of starwars

army life in camp is boooring despite tv in the company office and internet in the company rest room(w/o war3 and youtube!!!) i've watched everything in my ipod touch twice, everything meaning [hancock] [speedracer] [avp1&2] [starwars ep1-6] [harold&kumar go to whitecastle/escape from guantanamo bay] [goal1&2] [american pie 1-5] yongsheng, before you start b!tching, don't ask why i revellie otot and laypak whole day except for lunch and dinner and nights out, say any more and i'll be charged

my 3wk trip to taiwan for training was interesting in either sense, i'll post some pictures and talk more about it some time later, i think

ellen: i've got a pic you can use for your food blog, w0ah i actually read it? ya you can call it airline food

meanwhile, surfing wikipedia and amazon.com, i found this: http://www.amazon.com/Tales-Beedle-Bard-Standard/dp/B001DB0HG2/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1219839501&sr=8-2, i thought there's only 7 or so handwritten ones sold at charity auctions, it would make a great present

on a side note, i'm going to eat steamboat with the prcs this weekend, saturday evening i hope? anyone free is welcomed to join us

Culture shock

My life in NS has always been with tough companies. From Orion in BMT to Hotel in Sispec and then to ETI, it has been shit all the way. Especially, in ETI, where the regimentation is tougher than even BMT. Finally graduating as a 3SG(3 Star General) on Tuesday, i was hoping my crappy luck would run out.

And it did. I was posted to 6SIR, which is a battalion committed to the protection of key installations in Singapore. I didn't really know what to expect, but i heard that life there is good. So with my morale somewhat on the rise, i booked into maju camp together with 9 other specs. And as we got introduced to the camp, our morale just rose higher and higher.

The first sentence we heard when we entered the camp was "It's too late to apologise, it's too late". Woah that just shows how relax the camp is lah. And they were somewhat unprepared for us. As we passed the Spartan wall(they are known as the spartans, and their camp is Home of the Spartans), the first person who came to meet us and bring us around is a ... ... recruit. Right...

so we settled down, they randomly found an unused bunk for us, which was the first culture shock we got. The bunk is the dirtiest place in the world i've ever seen in my life. We spent 3 hrs cleaning it up, and the trash and dust we cleared out filled 8 trashbags full. crazy. And then, they said they had nothing for us, and asked us to book out. like wtf! so ok lor, we booked out, but i stupidly forgot to bring home my keys, which was how i ended up at ajisen with the rest of the girls. yup.

booked back in on wed night, woke up on thurs, and had a 8 km run they last min wanted us to run. cuz they wanted us to run ahm on sunday, which we were not supposed to. lol. then after that, we had practically nothing the whole day, and nights out at night. So slack, i cannot get used to it. like really very bad culture shock, after all the shit i've been through to get this rank(btw, 3SG is third sergeant, not 3 star general. lol). Kept on thinking there was something to do, but there's nothing, cuz the man under us havn't finish their bmt yet. so we have to wait for them. in the meantime, we stone.

Which is good. cuz my camp is near like a hell lot of places. near nus(nights out mayb ellen or yt can show me arnd sch?), near wing's hse(can go?), near jameson's hse(can go?), near yt's hse(no i wun go, i'll die to rard's fury), near ngee ann poly and sim(got cute girls), near a lot of good food(time to pig out), and the list doesn't end. In fact we just went ikea on thurs nights out to buy atable into camp. The guards looked at us like we were aliens. lol.

ok so yup, for now, i can just prepare to sleep more and eat more =) i.e grow fat. till my man come in then start to xiong liao. yay. that's like a few more months. for now, ahm on sunday! ppl running wanna meet up?

1) its a class outing
2) some of the guys just booked out
3) they have to book in the next day
4) as if army does not give you enough opportunities
5) when there are only 3 girls around. maybe for certain people its good time to show off. :P haha
6)when one of us nvr go through army life b4 ( aka lp )
7) most importantly, when your're a civilian.

POP LOH and Class Outing!

heys people!

okies been sometimes. thing like since i went army. okies. so many things happened. BMT to me was a good "retreat from studies".. okies. well i think your brain rots in some way, but you also mature to some extent. so i guess its a trade off.. BMT makes me think more. more about things around, people, life, area, bed, universe.

intellectually, i'm degrading more than i think i thought. so yupp. okies so bmt, excluding the physical part.. which was challenging to some extent. due to lack of childhood lol. (stupid swing trainer) okies. and the route marches.. haha somehow i always enjoy the 4th to 8th km march. and always hate the first 4 km.

so after 9 weeks... i'm a trained soldier! POP loh! okies. haha orion coy is nice. ( yeah i'm supposed to only say what i can say ) anyway, ys, 2lt xiao ye left le. rahman ord, soh ord, zainuddean on course.


last batch of m16 in tekong, so we threw our rifles away man. haha. for me its like really the one of the last time touching something lethal.. hopefully. waiting for deferment letter..

haha i'm not a chiongster in army, so yup. dun think ocs. haha. sispec? arty! lol.

sianz sia. block leave, pockets of break always give me headache. dun wanna waste it away, dotaing or like slacking. need alot of rest tho. need to reflect. reorientate. recharge.

haha anyway, played bball with army frens yest. haha my bball is damn bad now. lol. well okies, at least was something i din do for like many years.



okies yupp a class outing is on the way. will confirm more stuff this week. probabaly 21st or 22nd June. probabaly somewhere near centre of sg. like rard's house condo function room. subject to availability. food will be prepared.


gonna be like prolly one of the last few outings till we all go for UNI! haha at least for the girls, PRCs and um maybe me...


so yupp! active participation is greatly appreciated and anticipated.



those who haven reply me, pls do so k? thanks. as in which dates you are free..



till then, cya!

chinny (:

BMT rec death

REC Andrew Cheah Wei Siong from the Basic Military Training Centre fainted at 8.35am while participating in a 2km walk training activity at Pulau Tekong. He was rushed to the medical centre and arrived within 5 minutes. He was given immediate medical attention by the doctors. At 9.24am, REC Cheah was heli-evacuated to the Singapore General Hospital (SGH). The SAF medical team continued to resuscitate him en route. REC Cheah was pronounced dead at 10.50am in SGH.

MINDEF and the SAF extend their deepest condolences to the family of the late REC Cheah. MINDEF will assist the family in their time of grief and is investigating the incident.


Heard the heli flew over orion coy line leh, chin ee. damn sad. very sad leh.
Wonder wat medical centre doing for 44 mins before they decide to heli-evac. 8.40 arrive, 9.24 evac. wtf sia

POP

I'm having SOC (standard obstacle course) test tmr, and i don't know whether i want to pass it or not. cuz they say the best and worse of te company get posted to ASLC (advanced section leader course), which means you either go infantry or guards. which i don't want to go(cuz i'm not crazy). and based on the scores of the whole course so far, i've the best score in my whole section. which means if i pass my SOC, coupled with my IPPT gold, i have a damn high chance of going ASLC. On the other hand, if i fail, it'll look damn weird(few ppl with IPPT golds fail SOC). Arh crap. hmm.

Anyway, watever it is, we're passing out soon! as corporals! nice new rank on the arm. hoping i get posted to artillery to complete my 3 stripes. wooh, then i slack the rest of my ns liao. which trish had told me not to. hmm.

Nvm, still hoping for artillery =) pray hard. and i'll try not to slack too much.

Kicked out of the last 8

f***ing hell, this just sucks.

2 wakes in 2 days

I had to attend two wakes in the space of 2 days. not a good sign man. crap.

welcome to the rocking

yah, kelvin, stop complaining abt ur own company. My bmt sergeant says u get plenty(and it really is plenty) of canteen breaks, so u dun really get it as bad as us after all, correct?

esc, yah it really sucks to be u. i suspect sispec can't compare delta wing, so i give it to u.

and lz, i pity u, to screw up an interview becuz of a navigation exercise is damn f***ed up.

However, me , on the other hand, was extremely extremely high and happy on friday night. just ask gen and ellen and mayb the rest of the gang who met up on sat night, when my happiness hasn't exactly died down yet(it's dying now cuz of the thought of another fieldcamp coming up).

and when u're high, u can't exactly sleep, so i actually stayed up till 0130 hrs on sat morning to attempt to wait for lz's return frm the jungle wilderness. Alas, when the second last bus returned at approx 0115 hrs, i failed to spot lz's figure from the figures disembarking one by one from the bus. No, i didn't fail becuz of bad eyesight(granted i was looking from the fifth floor, but still...), nor was it becuz i was too sleepy. It was simply becuz lz was not among them. That just means he cldn't find his checkpoint(all checkpoints are ridiculously hard to find by the way) or cldn't make it out of the jungle. I didn't want to wait up anymore and went to sleep. lz apparently arrived later at 0230, according to his post below, so i was long aslp by then.

Well, i pity him. being stuck in the jungle, unable to find a small little signboard stuck to a tree(sometimes it might even have fallen off, and u find it on the ground lying somewhere), is not a very nice experience. heck, it's a very screwed up experience if ur team members think u're strong and they ask u to carry the team store items while navigating in the jungle. I personally had that experience during the first navigation exercise (the one on friday was our second one). This first one, i was being led by my instructor ad a fellow team member who tot he was gd at navigation. so i let them do it. Alas, my navigator was somewhat stupid after all, our instructor was new and knew little, and our wherethefuckarewe tribe spent the whole 8 hrs of the exercise stuck in the jungle, stuck in swamps, and combing tree after tree in search of checkpoints which we found only one. worse still was the fact that we had only 2 ippt gold award holders in our 11 man team, and it naturally became me and my friend who carried the team's food and signal set all the way. 6kg and 9 kg of weight respectively. 8 hrs. our shoulders died.

Navigation exercise 2. each detail(team) now only has 5 ppl. i was the only gold award in my detail, so i carried the signal set. 9kg. someone else carried the food but half the ppl meant half the food. 3kg. not so much of a problem. I didn't want an experience similar to my first exercise, so i told my detail i would be the chief navigator. and how my detail loves me now. for carrying the signal set throughout, for leading them nicely out of the wilderness. Unlike lz's tribe, we followed paths, even if it meant we had to take a longer way, and did minimal bashing. our compass and pacer were hardly used. For the night nav, we reached our checkpoint within 30 mins frm setting out, at 2000 hrs, reached back base at 2030 hrs and were sent back to camp, which we reached by 2205 hrs, long b4 lz found his wrong checkpoint. how happy i was, how happy my detail was, cannot be easily explained in words. especially cuz our detail was the only 4 man detail, having lost 1 man to a scorpion attack 40 mins frm the start of the exercise. how my detail thanked me for being the only person who knew how to use the signal set to comms back to control base to get the medic over to our location. in all, felt damn accomplished for this exercise.

so the ocs ppl, gd luck for nav ex and try not to screw up.

to chin ee, sorry that orion coy seems to have became even more xiong than when i was in there. hang in there and u'll come out fine. rmb to secure ur helmet, lbv and rifle during field camp(yes orion seems to be the only coy which stunts even ur helmet ad lbv). dun ever b late for anything(orion is confinement crazy), n clean ur rifle well(the rifles IA like siao one). take care!

and to lz, wish u luck for the next nav exercise, which is going to be a test. and wish me luck too, no matter how much i rock =P (kidding la, was actually qte lucky for nav ex 2, really)

welcome to the suck

Kelvin, stop b!tching, everyone's getting the same shit in sispec.
ESC, sucks to be you.

There's so many things i hate about outfield. I can't decide between the cammo, mosquitos or filth. This week we did a 3day fieldcamp immediately followed by jungle navigation. Alas, as the chieftain of the wherethefuckarewe tribe(pronounced where the !fuck! are we?) I was unable to lead my clansmen out of the wilderness.

We reached another checkpoint ~100m from our own at 2230hrs. I comm'ed back and was told to return as they're terminating the ex soon. We got back at 2330hrs. The enchik say 'walau its so close lei, neh here(points to map) only you search up and down the stream can le, now go back and try harder'. Its now 2345. We went back in in search of the A4 sized checkpoint marker 1.2clicks away through primary forestation. After bashing through for 2clicks we're totally lost. I decided to head for the highway we've been walking parallel to to reference our location. Ok so the road runs straight east-west without any significant features. Time 0030. Only 6 of the 30 tribes remain, the rest have been evacauted to civilization. By now the short flexible antenna is giving us very bad reception, my seconday comm set had better signal, that being the SE W950i. Changing to the 3m 5 section aerial allowed clearer transmissions but severely limited mobility especially in the vegetation. Permission not granted to cut exercise. By executive decision I turned my team back along the highway and setup camp 50m from base. We stayed perfectly still and silent as vehicles and other returning teams passed within 10m of our position. The advantage of not being able to see beyond 5m is that nothing beyond 5m can see you. Our hearing has never been clearer. Finally at 0130 we're recalled along with the other 2 remaining teams. Being the last to go back meant that its our duty to pack up the command post. We got back to camp at 0230, spent the next 1.5hrs cleaning up not only our own equipment but the command truck as well.

I reached home at 0430 and took 30min to prepare my documents. Revellie 0700 for award ceremony at SYFC where they p!n the aviator's wings on your jacket and say good job now join the airforce. I told them to foxtrot oscar. Ok I didn't. The photo-taking and hand-shaking did not end until 1030. My dad also hor lan in west camp before picking me up. Reached NUS Bt Timah at 1105 just in time for the law interview at 1115. Now comes the classic part. I fell asleep in the waiting area! The assoc. prof. had to come out to find me. He spent the next 30min asking all sorts of current affairs questions. My mind was totally blank, I tried very hard to think of something but all that pop up are bazookas, enchiks and pushups. Somewhere along the interview I mentioned a quote from my enchik, 'do you smell something chaotar? your weekend is burning.'

So I'll probably not get accepted by law, but its my 2nd choice anyway. Curiously, I saw this article on MSN. Here are some extracts from the article.

#1 putting off college for a year in favor of some much-needed downtime

#2 A growing number of high school seniors are balking at riding the academic conveyer belt from preschool all the way to university. They’re burnt out.

#3 they want to explore a few interests before deciding what to study in college

#4 Taking a gap year can actually make kids more focused and ready for the rigors of academic life.

Now consider how MINDEF provided us with the perfect gap-year enrichment.

#1 Regimentation will very much relax our stress nerves so that we can recover from the damages of A lvls.

#2 Since we're also burnt out it wouldn't hurt to have our weekends burn in camp guarding our country's military installation from Mas Salamat.

#3 NS is the perfect prep-course for my future B.Sc in Military Studies.
?
#4 Urhhh, d/dx(versinX)=H2S?

harloooo

Hi! I still read here haha xD

Well so my life has been rather boring or happening, depending on how you look at it lol. Got a job helping out my aunt at her firm...it's been almost 4 months now. Haha over here we're always living in the next month...always planning things for the next month.

Anyway, I wake up, no drag myself out of the bed, every morning and fight with all the people in the MRT for a seat haha and then go all the way to TP and then start one more day of clearing files and other saikang work. Haha it can be quite sian sometimes because some of the work is really terribly mundane, like photocopying a tall pile of receipts(I once did that for 2 hours ZZZ plz). But sometimes it can get quite crazy because it's like 765263782 things at the same time that people want you to do. SO. THAT'S THE FUN PART HAHA.

*ehem* okay.

No actually it's frustrating lah. People all want you to do their things (and sometimes they can actually do themselves) and of course they think that you have nothing else and nothing better to do than to do for them whatever it is. It's the same for school isn't it. Teachers think that we only study their subject and we only have their homework to do.

Anyway I think I'm going out of point so...haha. Another time maybe. AND GOGO CLASS GUYS ON THE WAY TO COMPLETING NS!

enlistment act

chinny is finally going in soon. 3 days. better start preparing, chinny.

so here's abit of advice. i told u most through msn liao, but i'll put them here in case u need reference again. and the list u received long time ago shld help too.

ok so things u shld bring:

pt shirt (1-2)
pt shorts (1-2)
admin tee(dun need, the army market sure got ppl try to con u to buy one, no point)
white socks(1-2)
green towel(1) (they'll giv 2, but i advice u buy one so u can do wat i always do, one for using, one for field pack(stand-by-field pack), and one for cupboard(stand-by-bed))
8 hangers
clothes pegs (useful if u dun want the risk of ur clothes dropping downstairs)
loads of underwear
loads of plastic bags
ziploc bags(no hurry though, but since going army market just shun bian lor)
washing powder if u're washing clothes
brush (useful when washing clothes but not a neccessity)(whole bmt i was the only guy in my platoon who had a brush)
mp3 player
book
nail clipper
shaver
toothpaste toothbrush
soap and shampoo
orange cloth (2)(one for rifle, one for stand-by-bed)
garters
alarm clock
watch (good to tell the time, but i survived my whole bmt and first 2 weeks of sispec without watch. highly recommended that u hav a watch during field camp though. u'll understand when the time comes)(watch must be black though)
food (dun really need for first 2 weeks, but will need for subsequent weeks)
drinks (if u think ur bag not heavy enuff)
extra hp batt (dun disappoint trish, later she sad u cannot talk to her)
coins
plasters
rags
powder(prickly or saf one up to u)
photos (optional, but nice to stare at trish all night long)

ok abt all lah. the rest will be general advice.

1. when u go army market, pls dun buy frm malay stallholders. they cheat money. buy frm stalls where u see ppl buying frm. and pls bargain, or the price u get is damn lousy one. bargain as much as u can.

2. on ALL route marches, wear double layer socks. white inside, green outside. helps a lot against blisters.

3. guitar and other musical instruments are actually allowed, but they're big and easy to spoil so up to u.

4. bring airtight container for ur food, unless u want to share wif rats.

5. (HIGHLY IMPT!) this one no hurry, u wun need it soon, but u'll definitely appreciate this when the time comes. BRING WET TISSUE! or WHATEVER GIRLS USE TO REMOVE MAKEUP WIF! u can ask trish or any of the girls abt this. but i kinda nvr asked them cuz wet tissue works like a miracle le. on the green and black camo that is damn hard to remove.

6. there's this thingy called scotch brite. which are pad- like thingys which are impressive and removing kiwi stains. u might want to have them, then collect funds frm ur section and share them wif ur section. stand-by-area for ur section might be a whole lot easier.

7. before any stand-by-area which u think ur section cannot make it alrdy. go mop the floor and make it wet. ensures that all stains and markings and dust cannot be seen at all because of the wet floor. my section survived 3 stand-by-areas because of this trick.

8. when there's a stand-by-bed and u dunno where to hide stuff that u dun want to be seen. stuff them all into the duffel bag and put the duffel bag under ur bed. it's allowed and saves u a lot of trouble.

9. be mentally prepared that before any bookout there'll be either a stand-by-area or stand-by-bed. so start cleaning up the area a day before bookout so it'll be less hectic on bookout day.

10. liquid kiwi allows for much faster polishing of boots and much better shine too but damages ur boots over time. solid kiwi works just fine for me cuz i hav 4 yrs experience of polishing boots. up to u which one u want to use, but the army only provides solid kiwi so u hav to buy ur own if u want liquid kiwi.

11. speakers that go wif ur mp3 makes ur bunk like a partying place and reduces a lot of boredom. my section was the only one that had speakers, so the sergeants always came to our bunk to listen to music, talk cock wif us, then zhao when they had things to do. much more fun lor.

12. bring book during live range or u'll be bored to death. alternatively, u can carve wood just like wat i did.

13. when u go outfield or live range or handgrenade range, u'll hav alot of time and u might get hungry. useless if u hav food in bunk and they're really in ur bunk. when going this places, it'll be useful to put food in ur lbv like wat i always do. dunno y nobody learns frm me. whole day ppl come look for me for food instead of bringing their own. so advice is to bring and keep quiet abt it. if ppl see u eating and ask then giv if u want to. if not, just keep quiet.

yup yup that's all! and that's a lot of advice le. u shld survive damn comfortably liao. if u still cannot then i dunno wat to do liao. just go oot(out of training). lol.

take care inside!

9 months

1. You are posted to OCS (ARMY WING).
2. Your vocation is OFFICER CADET (COMBAT).

well...i dun really know how to react to this news. although i've been sorta expecting it, i still have ambivalent feelings about it. i mean, on one hand, the pay rise and the prestige and all is quite nice i guess. but i dunno how i'm going to survive the 9 months of hell lol. it makes BMT look like a holiday resort. *cues much pessimism*

For the guys who got posted to sispec, dun give up. excel in your company, and u can still transfer over to ocs. i assume u dudes know about the 2 windows of opportunity rite. so yea, jia you! ya'll are all ocs-material wan lor pls. come over and make my hellhole a little brighter pls =D

Happy birthday, Trish (: one more year of lessons learnt and insights gained. continue to be the driven gal u are and i'm sure u'll excel in what u do. jia you with uni and your love life lol =p

I wish the block leave was just a few days longer. The last few days have been so rushed and packed and plain lousy. There're things i wanna do and stuff i wanna sort out. What horrible timing.

I hope this picture wont send police to my house.

POSTINGS

OCS: sc, xy, jameson, jasper, gerard
SISPEC: kel, ys, lz
Airforce: cc
Armor: wing
SCDF: wang
Pre-enlistee: Chin Ee!

the next phase


1. You are posted to SISPEC.
2. Your vocation is INFANTRY LEADER(TRAINEE).

F***. why not armor/artillery. the 2 slackest armed forces vocations. or mayb even like chee chin, even slacker. air force. and i can swim. y nvr get chosen for navy. aiya.

Anyway, there goes my hopes of a slack unit. evaporated as xy's voice came over the phone with one word: sispec. stands for School of Infantry SPECialists. further extinguished as i read the above two lines in the comfort of my house with sleepy eyes.

So like trish the birthday girl said, cannot slack le. and really for two yrs lor. The normal man who get posted to unit can start slacking for 2 yrs for the remainder of ns life. The officers who manage to endure their imba crazy hellish 38 week course can slack after that. Only the sispec sergeants have to endure a tough 22 week course to pass out as sergeants to get tekaned somemore by officers who want things done and by normal man who refuse to do anything. so 22 wks plus remainder of 2 yrs. no more slacking time. how?

Anyway, on to more cheerful things! Today is trish's bday! Happy 19th birthday! Big girl le. More mature, more pretty, but still as hardworking. not that it's a bad thing though. Glad that you were touched with the surprise! Though the surprise wasn't exactly that well done, but it's the thought that counts right. yup haha. And erm Chin Ee loves you!

Trish bday over soon. Block leave over soon as well. Scholarships deadline up. Getting ultra sian. getting moody too. cuz hav to go back army, which you all can judge my willingness from my first paragraph. The next phase of ns life begins soon.

That doesn't mean the first phase has been forgotten! I have photos from POP! finally! yup, so wing and xy get frm me. the photo the 3 of us took on the parade square. cuz stupid blogger somehow doesn't allow me to upload. or someone wants to help me upload. haha.

Sunday, March 16, 2008

Class Trip!

class trip!

okie.. umm this is gonna be abit late.. but thanks to NoEye-Redeyed-Kelvin who brought up the idea of travelling as a class somewhere!

Reasons being:

1) the army guys have about 1.5 weeks of free time after POP.. (mid march to late march)

2) we haven done somehtig as a class for sometime - class bonding!

3) i haven go army yet



okie so just a basic rough idea.. is there any place you all wanna go?

i dun think if we travel to further places we can get good discounts.. so how about somewhere near? somewhere in asia i hope.. or like somewhere where we have frens that live there..


batam? bintan? KL? Malacca? Desaru? Genting? langkawi? Thailand? HK? Any China provinces?

Or Bukom? Sentosa?


okie Myanmmar is out of the pic cos umm its scary. hahaha i think la.. :P


okie. so that's for now.. pls think about it k? (like when you're bored in army) and hope to hear enthusiastic replies! =)

So for now,

Venue: undecided

When: mid march to late march

Cost: depends (definitely <888 SGD)



thanks!

Chinny! =)

field camp

The army

'wait to rush, rush to wait'

yes and that phrase is especially true for platoon 4. always do the most saikang, always wait the most for the other platoons to finish doing their stuff then our turn to do, and always rush the most thereafter because we're the last to finish. damn sian.

anyway, it didn't rain during orion,ninja and leopard field camp =)

so now me, xy, wing and occ damn happy. do stuff in mud. but the mud is dry mud =)

ok lah got abit of wet mud. i also dunno y will hav wet mud, but it somehow got. I proned straight into it beside a tree. no it's not that people pissed there before. the mud arnd that area just happened to be soft and squishy. but other than that, not much wet mud!

ok i talk somemore later kena OSA. so that's all!

Essay Question

To hone your minds and prevent brain stagnation during NS, I'd like to pose an essay question for all of you guys to consider:

How far do you agree with the statement "NS is about more haste, less speed"? Explain your stand with appropriate examples. 25 marks.

Army Discipline

I'd like to blog about the 6 day field camp that we had last week, but then, I'm uncertain which parts are under the OSA. So ask me instead. Suffice to say, it was certainly memorable. And dirty. I booked out early (tues night) bcos of ippt gold. Started washing my laundry and other miscellaneous stuff. After soaking each set of clothes in a pail and rinsing them for up to 5 times, the water was still rather murky. Just an idea of a camp where one goes 6 days without bathing, and in the mud.

Meanwhile, I realised that army discipline works via a self-reinforcing mechanism. When commanders punish recruits, recruits are forced to obey despite their exhaustion and pain. They are pushed beyond their limits of endurance by the fear of further retribution from commanders, where they would otherwise have given up. Such testing of limits will doubtless be extremely hard upon the recruits, and such tough punishment will certainly impress the power of the commanders (to inflict much pain) upon the subconscious of the recruits, further reinforcing fear of commanders and of further punishment.

Such fear ensures obedience and submission.
Such fear ensures discipline, and motivates a recruit to further push his limits.
Such fear is groundless. Joking.

NS too!

My brain has deteriorated like shit. let's start using broken english instead.

Me book in one day before sc. on the 9th. of jan. 2008. yup. Very fun at first. then start getting tiring. and boring. and sian.

ok f***. if i go on at that pace i seriously will not be able to string a proper sentence together by the time i POP. so let's practise good english!

Army has been fun. However, that is simply because we're new enlistees during the confinement period, when the sergeants are nicer to you. I expect life to get a hell lot tougher than this past 2 weeks when i book in.

Also, free time is really scarce, as shun cheng mentioned. The officers keep telling us it's not their choice, it's because they have very little time on their hands so they have to keep cramming in activities, unlike the people who book in 1 month earlier who get a one month headstart. lucky lz, rard and kel. I bet they have a lot of free administration time. For me, i get about 30 mins free time each night. Wash up my clothes, take a shower and it's lights out already. Sad.

ok shan't say too much already. i scared i get prosecuted under the Official Secrets Act. Damn scary leh.

NS

It's been a hectic two weeks for me since i enlisted on 10 Jan. Totally...unique experience. Was, and still will be...for 1 year and 9.5 months. Regimentation is not much different from some uniformed groups in sec school, perhaps more strict. (But that may very well change after the first bookout) A 1yr 10month test of both physical and mental endurance. But certainly, I'm unsatisfied with how my brain is deteriorating. Just look at the quality of my posts.

NS is hectic. Hardly any free time for oneself, and hardly enough sleep. Frigging tired and sleepy a lot of the time. So today's early bookout (for me and 8 others in the company) rocks. =D haha damn suan. But waking up to run so early in the morning also allows us to see very nice stars and breathe in the fresh morning air.

On another note, my platoon mate looks damn like paul cheong. So is wing's section mate. so we take photos and post here after POP.

Before I end off, a few points to clarify, concerning the previous posts:
1) I did not get tekaned like mad.
2) I don't really prefer air con

NS and civilian life feels like totally 2 different worlds.

The rest is classified information under the Official Secrets Act or smthng liddat. DotA anyone?

Friday, January 11, 2008

hello i'm also at home. home is very comfortable because there is air con. Hello chin ee and jasper and jameson. The rest are getting tekaned like mad in tekong alr i think. anyway home is nice i like home
hello i'm still at home. home is very comfortable because there is air con. Hello chin ee and jasper. The rest are getting tekaned like mad in tekong alr i think. anyway home is nice i like home

okay 2 left..

sad.. left me and jameson (going in tmr,12th).. lolz.. ahh! okay.. jia you all the people in army! come back tell me stories so i can be prepared! muahaha..

lolz. ys said that the last 8 posts was his.. so i told him the next 16th posts would be mine.. so this is like the 2nd one.. haha.. anyway i think most of the army guys can't come out till like. er maybe 2 weeks later or 3.. so ya. wish you all dun tio guard duty on CNY.. very sian one. haha yup. dun think you all can see also..

well just a thought.. people who have go in now.. will have 2 CNY, 1 Christmas Day.. and 1 Valentine's Day inside army..

and um for me.. i have 1 CNY, 2 christmas and 2 valentine's day(1 if i'm lucky..) inside army. hmmm. well.. so ya.. good and bad..

lolz. and umm just realised people like us RP.. can't apply for relief teaching with our RP grades..cos moe dun recognise.. so ya. they want O levels or A levels.. well..

so yup finished attachment 2 days ago. wanted to blog about it..but lazy and tired.. job shadow the doctor.. he's like superman.. dun need to eat one.. have to on call like 1 out of 3 days.. sad man.. 730 to 730 is the normal working hours.. so one out of 3 days. you have to stay in hospital.. from 730pm till next day and start working again.. machine machine! i pity one doctor.. chritmas on call, new year on call, now CNY also on call. lolz.. people get 11 days of hol a year.. he get less than 4. lolz. one month supposed to have 8 weekends. they have like 2 or 3..hmm..

heh. and um the kopitiam food there not very nice. realised there was a staff canteen on the 2nd day there at basement.. but i couldn't find the lift to basement. so ya din get to eat there in the end..

umm but well i learned quite a bit. when to IV drip.. the concentration to use.. the ABCs (airways, breathing, communication) a procedure you have to check during emergencys. yea. fun! went to the wards.. follow doctors through their rounds( morning and afternoon), went to their clinics (neuro, cardiac, general, children development), and childrens emergency,and also went to look at new born babies.. learnt about jaundice.. umm did some hearing test on babaies.. and look at doctors perform checks on babies.. omg they twist the baby here and there.. like not theirs like dat.. haha XD okie well i'm exagerrating..

sometimes follow the house office and medical officer and registrar around.. they are like very very busy.. HO's lots of paper work.. very busy. heh. spent more time in hosipital than with family.. sad sad..

saw nikki and ruth( choir frens) there.. they doing some admin work thingy.. now no more le i think..

anyway, i saw lots of dif kinds of patients. renal patients.. asthma, cardiac! okay forgot the technical terms le.. well. the doctors memorise medicine names and all that la. and then all the dif types of scans.. and the dose that they have to give.. accurate man! zai!

okay. and i witnessed some hospital politics going on tooo.. staff nurses doctors and um the managers there. hahahah! i just stand there keep quiet..

heh. okay. well it was fun.. morning wake up.. drive to nuh. heh. tried dif dif routes. to beat the jam. and um beat the ERP which starts at 730 am.. lolz. there was this point on the expressway.. it was like 729.. then i got choice of CTE or PIE... but the PIE entrance was nearer.. so i decided to take the PIE cos the ERP charge is 5 dollars for CTE! zomg! ex ex! heh. so yea. i took PIE and when i passed CTE which was on the left.. i saw the "IN OPERATION". then i thought heng ar.. lucky nvr go that way..

okay if you din understand the previous para.. its okie. hahaha.. XD in conclusion i saved money. haha yeah.

so ya. okie. that's it for now..14 more posts to go! lolz. haha.. all the best army peeps.. dun over exert! really.. it takes 6 weeks to train strength and 4 weeks to train running.. according to some guy i met in the park while i was running. he was the man who initiated napha and IPPT lol.. at least that's what he said.. yeah.

yay! happy! ran 5k today! wohoo! gonna start training with you all! haha..


( to the tune of RI batch song )
lonely fear lights up the sky.. how long i wonder why.. its 3 months away..

Post #401

My first post of the new year, my last post before NS.

It's been quite long since I posted. Probably because I was busy playing away most of the holidays and destroying my brain before NS could do it to me. And between going to China for holiday, uni applications, and the 1 month of holidays, there isn't much. Does time just pass quickly.

Some of us (jameson, txy, jasper, ys & me) went for dinner together last nite at crystal jade. time really passes quite fast (or my brain is screwed up). Today, 3 pple are enlisting. I'll be going in tmr. That means I have one day to play 6.49c -.-" rofl take a look at the changelog.

I'm feeling rather apprehensive about NS, as I am with all uncertain things (physics?) But, there is no use worrying about it, so it's kinda at the back of my head now. I shall go play my first game of 6.49c.

Cheers.

New Year countdown!

Whee! New year countdown was the most fun one in my life. suddenly u get to go out instead of sit and home and rush holiday homework.

so yup, went esplanade. or rather tried to. squeezed in there, then decided that it was too crowded and squeezed back out and went to marina square instead. played cards there, watched some pretty fireworks, then played more cards.

And then i went marie's hse! reached her house at 3 am. fun fun. played pool, kbox and mahjong. omg i just realised marie's hse kbox is updated every month. pro. And marie and gerald tay wants to go lanning too! yay, i probably get to play one more time before going NS.

left her hse at 11.20am, and went my relative's hse to eat and play bball. then wnet home after that and then went to work. wooh the best new year of my life. heck the working part though.
