Happy Chinese New Year

I was at home on CNY eve, after returning from reunion dinner, and having nothing better to do, decided to talk with Jameson on MSN (because he's very sad no one else talks with him =( ) And, at the same time, I noticed that this blog has been devoid of any real posts not just recently, but for a long time. Not that this is a real post, mind you. Whenever I'm free, or for that matter, whenever we're free, either we're out enjoying ourselves, watching TV, or playing dota on garena rm 16. Except for Jameson who's very free being CBRD staff officer, but has no time to blog, nor the inclination to dota....It appears that he forgot his username and password and cannot blog as a result.

So bottom line is:

We should blog more. Or have class outings sometime! and strive towards A Happy And Prosperous Chinese New Year.

PS To Chinny: Jameson says that your mind is messed up.

menu: free flow of xiao long bao , and some char shao bao.. and usual steam boat.

down side: limited prawns per person about 4-5/person

maybe put it on 27th night? any objections? any one got other suggestions? i was thinkning we go like hort park before that .. and go for like buffet at holland V?

yeah? its 21.50 after gst if i'm correct. i think the officers can treat us the gst :P

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.

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?

the "push up game"

like wth la. who else does push up when

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.



7 reasons because apparently, paper cannot be folded more than 7 times. unless you watched mythbusters.


well anyway, it's a good idea. haha!so ya. lz gj! at least less pain then the pinching and slapping game. see if ya hosting, you'll be prepared for all these! so i wore jeans. muahaha. but lp's really PAIN.

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.
