this is what happened to me last week when we went to st james right after book out.. long day before that. reached at 12mn and went in by 1am. got our bottle of henessy and started drinking by 2. met bang’s friend, sharon, and danced a bit by 2.30. anything that happened after 3/3.30 or so, i can’t friggin remember. didn’t even know our bottle of johnnie walker came and we drank it. ended up being dragged into a cab by the boys and somehow my parents found me sleeping against the lift lobby wall 7 am in the morning. hmmm..
crap lah! this should stop happening. i don’t want to be a hassle to my friends coz i know how it feels like to have your night ruined by having to stay sober enough to ensure their safety. somehow, this has got to stop.

lately, i’m getting quite pissed off with everything that has to do with my computer. internet connection is slow, laptop has major lag time. so on and so forth. think its time to get a new laptop. oh wait! i don’t have the money. why? i spent most of it already and i’m actually eating into my savings. i have been patronising boat quay a lot over the last 2 months and spending quite a significant amount of my monthly pay on bottles of martell. got to get this vice settled quickly before i drink everything away.
anyway just ended bslc in sispec last week. going to have a one week block leave before heading back to sispec for aslc. another 11 or 12 weeks of outfield and route marches. probably taking a good break and rest with the guys at phuket. oh wiat, i almost forgot. i’m running out of finance for this month. might not even make a trip to JB.

oh well, pray for me lah~~

its been 3 weeks into SISPEC and 5 weeks since is passed out of basic military training.. and as of the end of week3 in pasir leba camp, i am officially a quarter of a century old. 25 years of wisdom and i invested it into the army.. haha!! life as a trainee in SISPEC is mentally tiring compared to time in tekong. although now we are giving ourselves our own smoking breaks, i still preferred being in tekong orion company with my boys. but okay lah, so far so good loh right now. .
anyways as i was saying, i have just gained another full year of experience and wisdom and had just leveled up a notch. haha! on friday itself, i met up with the 6D-ians of yangzheng.. my bunch of friends, brothers and sisters who stood by each other over the many years of friendship and are still here when you need them.  we had a simple supper gathering over at our usual hangout along yio chu kang road. had some satay, tehs and finally a cake and a present.. i would say bangren, my brother since pri 1, knows me best.. somehow he knew that i would be needing a new cap since i don’t have much hair now.. hahaha!! cake was chocolate and lots of cream. i liked it. erm just that i am not a big fan of cakes and stuff.. =p 
went to pearlyn hoon’s place to play rock band and guitar heroes yesterday and met up with my mass comm peeps. drew chu is still getting fatter. haha!! i had to call mor peng sir. jarryl looks like a vietnamese farmer now. cherylene still laughs at almost anything. and hoonster is still the gaming queen. had a blast meeting up with mass commers. woot!! 
later that night, i celebrated at phuture with some of the army guys i hang out with. i’d like to thank joel (my indian suck-cock buddy, partner in crime and the other half of our yin-yang combination) for leaving me out-of-commission for 2 hours without looking for me.. that’s what friends are for~~ thank wen bang for the 1st flaming lambo, martell on the rocks, shot of i-have-no-idea-what concoction he came up with, and for being late as usual.. haha!! thanks to chong yi for the special 2nd lambo. to jeffery, for being late and bring such a scaredy cat.. haha!! had quite a laugh at him though. and to all who toasted me and drank.. after some mixtures here and there, some dancing and smoking, i finally tak boleh tahan within 2 hours. sat at our table for a while, fell asleep, woke up went to the toilet to let loose, went out to the bridge and sat at the steps (as usual) and slept for the next hour or two. some b-day celebration huh?? hahah!! and thank god for cherri and cal who came after butter factory to get me. cherri was calling my phone and sms-ing me the whole while i was out there and even asked for joel’s number so she could call him up to go check on me. haha!! thank you, my friend! i am eternally grateful for that can of calamansi!! it was the best pick-me-up drink EVER! before that i was still groggy and tried to walk around but i couldn’t.. hmm so that’s why i stay outside for so long.. was beginning to wonder at that. well thank you cherri and cal for bailing me even after a long night at butterfac yourselves..
and now i wake up with a pounding headache and an aching body..

off to get some painkillers and to plot my map for navigation on monday

i need a medical status..

the past week in camp was somewhat gratifying.. finally managed to hit my gold for ippt with a time of 9.32mins for 2.4km run on wednesday. the following day cleared the Standard Obstacle Course (50m rundown, the obstacle course itself, and a final 600m run) with a time of 5.48mins.. almost died there and then i tell you.
oh i cleared the week of activities with a serious bout of flu, as of now i have not recovered and a fever is developing too. i need to see a doctor which i should have done so this previous week but i haven’t. crap. now i’m aiming for C, attend C.
damnit. i need to go blow my nose and lie down again.

third book out so far

sighs.. fifth week in and we only got to book out the third time. oh well.. anyway most of our high key events such as field camp, situational test, shooting range, etc are over, and all that’s really left are the standard obstacle course and ippt. plenty of physical training to do. oh yes. i got my rifle “stunned” by one of the sgts during sit test and now i have to book in early tomorrow, on a saturday, to do guard duty.. damn sad lah!! and it was a stupid way to get by weapon taken away, so long a story that i hate to repeat it myself.
well, field camp was one of the most shittiest, tiring and dirtiest time i had to go through in my life. no hygiene, no sanitation and low morale. raining almost every morning, making me sleep in mud or drenched in a pool of collected rain water on my ground sheet and worse of all, i always happen to sleep next to some guy who keeps me awake most of the nights. its either a sleep-talker or a loud snorer. oh and no cigarettes!! life really did suck big time. 25 years of my life and i have never, ever been in such a situation before. but thanks to my platoon and section mates, we all managed to finish it in one whole piece. and now, i’m still as tired and worn out as hell. aching muscles and stiff joints. i really need a thorough full body massage.
i say to myself, “never mind. its gonna be over in less than 4 weeks..” i can’t wait for passing out parade. but that also means a 24km route march right before the parade. imagine smelly, sweaty and tired, plus standing still for god knows how long before the parade ends, plus the chance of really passing out, literally. oh well~ i don’t know where our morale should be.. hmmm…
i’m beginning to miss my friends more. i’m beginning to miss home.. and i’m beginning to miss the food out of camp too.. but it can’t be help i guess. haha!
anyways, take care people. i’ll be back again, better and stronger.

book out!

so many things and so little time.. book out on friday night 1900hrs.. booking in again on sunday 2000hrs.. but i have so many friggin’ things to do. sigh. i am stuck with 200 jc boys and i can almost die of hyper-ventilating, coz i’ll be laughing too hard.. some of these “kids”, 6 years younger than me, talks about pokemon all day long.. some don’t have a sense of rythmn, i.e. can’t follow the tempo of left, right, left, right, left, right, left. even when someone a.k.a. myself shouting out the timing during marching.. and some are just tonedeaf, and they still dare to try leading a song while on th march.. and if u add the above last two points together, sad case. worse of all, would be the ones who like to saboh others. taking things for granted, moving slowly from point to point, blah blah blah.. cant believe i’m stuck with these people for the next 7 weeks. at least the 12 other guys in my section are slightly more normal than the rest, i think.
somehow the 50 boys in my platoon “respect” me because i’m older and i share some of my experience with them. even my section commander, platoon sgt and my platoon commander (all younger than me) talk to me as someone who knows more and have plenty to share about my time in ns. though it could be a little awkward sometimes. oh well!!
anyway booking in tomorrow and i won’t be out again for the next 2 weeks because of a field camp on a weekend.. i’ll see u people again soon.. take care!

SAF here i come

ladies and gentlemen,
i have gotten a call from the army recruitment centre, saying that they are approving my application and should be hearing from them via mail real soon. i think its a piece of good news for me. although i’m not particularly satisfied about the posting they’re about to throw me in. infantry leader. hmmm i was really hoping to get into guards first, since i went for their vocation interview. so i called them back again and asked if i could get a change in vocation posting. the nice girl at army recruitment sherryl said she’ll get back to me after checking with her officer. i pray that it will work.. at least, if i can’t get through commando selection, which i intended to go for once i’m in, i’ll be in a posting i would enjoy more than infantry for a career.. aiyah, actually i don’t mind lah.. green beret, black beret,  khaki beret, red beret, its all the same to me lah. i guess~~ oh well
botak head and morning five bx, here i come..

CNY was over just like that and i didn’t even really sat down to enjoy it as much as past years. my two tanning sessions at sentosa before the CNY weeks was pretty good. had a nice tan that went well with my recently dyed hair. satisfied, i should say. however, it got me peeling like a reptile changing skin throughout the two weeks of CNY. least i can say i’m shedding the old me and here comes the new one. a better me, i hope.

anyway, today my dearest lil’ sister and good friend a.k.a. val tan left for studies in australia. sent her off at the airport and i had to witness some of the girls sobbing and crying. sigh. i feel somewhat uncomfortable at this kind of send-offs. don’t know why but i might probably not do it again.
darn! now i lack one of the few good listening ears whenever i need one. one that would actually share some of my sorrows with. not to mention gossips and stuff like that. go ktv-ing together. random teh peng sessions. i’m beginning to miss val already. come back quick leh sis!! oh well, at least i’m not alone back here in singapore. got fel to keep me company for now. but still, faster come back~ =p

oh val, if you happened to be reading this, hope you like what me and felly got for you lah. wasn’t sure what to get for you also lah. anyways, make sure you think of us whenever you see them yah? keke! take good care of yourself when you’re there. we’ll keep in contact over msn. hugs from big bro. love.

p.s. if i want a boomerang, would you actually get me one? hmm… eh no need, i think i actually have one or two of those at home somewhere. hehhs! love lah

sometimes, just sometimes, i hate my life.
sigh.

and one more thing. i really can’t get you off my mind.

another thing some people would ask 20 questions about. who? what? when? where? why?
and i would say ” don’t bother on this topic either. long story.” until i see whoever wants to know in person, i’m not explaining myself.
then why bother putting this on my blog right? well, i’m just keeping people slightly in the loop, involved though not at all. forget it! i don’t even think i understand myself now!

sigh sigh
