Hainan Trip Part 2

part 2 of my trip report. a long crappy one also....

DAY 4

We checked out of our hotel after the same crappy breakfast. We ordered some dim sum ourselves and they are cheap cheap cheap!!! But it is not nice at all. We visited ‘lu hui tou’ park. There is this story on the how the original same for sanya, called lu cheng, came and I dun think I wanna go on here. The park is located on top of a mountain and we can see the whole sanya city from there. Nothing much though, just another statue. I remembered this place when I went hainan when I was 10. not much change compared to the other tourist sites.

Next, we visited ya long bay, where most of the nice nice 5 stars resort is located. There is one activity, which is going onto this ship where part of it is underwater, and we are able to see the corals and fish. The picture made it look so marvelous, but actually it was crap! I feel so cheated. We first boarded a small ship to the big ship with the underwater thing. Again, it was squeezing and pushing those mainlanders tourists. Even those people manning the ship were dulan. There were just there screaming and shouting at them. Hard to deal with them sia…. Then when we went onto the big ship and went to the cabin below, all we saw were some small fish in some unclear water. Attached is the picture.

What crap…. All of us feel cheated. Even the mainlanders. can hear them saying "这都是骗人的呀!"

The boat that we are going to board to view the underwater.

The Crappy scene we saw. Totally diff. from their advertisement.

After lunch, we went to this cultural village, showing us the culture and life of the tribal people. One interesting thing was tat the girls in the tribe actually had tattoos on their body, including the face. Imagine how painful tat was. And of course spending some money on cheap trills. They have this hut inside with all the different drums and gong and we can just go in can bang all we want. At a price of $10. what a smart way to earn money. Side track a bit: another money making method. We went to this factory selling coffee products and we had to walk through the showroom before we can exit the place. They place their shelf and products in a way such tat each and every one had to walk through the whole winding route lined with their products. And for example, if one see this product, he decide not to buy, then while walking down the route, there is this same product there also. And it is also repeated again and again down the route. It is just one way to psycho you again and again to buy their products. Ok, back to the trip. After the cultural village, we visit another village called ‘ya zhou feng qing chun’. Nothing much to see there also, just a place where different cultures of asia are being demonstrated. And there is this ugly merlion there…..

The merlion that represented singapore in the park. Look at the eyes, the merlion looks like it has no life...

we also visit their botanical garden, which is more crappy, before we went back to my mum’s hometown village, at qiong hai city. It was alreadly dark when we reach there ( at 6.30, it is alreadly pitch dark there). Of coruse, as usual, got firecrackers to welcome us. Got 9 of us, so me, mum and dad got to squeeze into a small room adjacent to the main house. Here, a view of our ‘hotel room’.

DAY 5 6 7 (Kampung Life)

Woke up the next morning feeling fresh. The place wasn’t as bad. Still the same to the one when I went back 9 yrs ago. But now got water heater liao. Then got toilet bowl and flush. So damm good liao loh! Nothing much to do in kampung. Just walk around the village, to the ‘mama shop’, walk to the farming grounds. Sleep eat, typical ‘grow fat ‘ life. Too bad now dun have chicks for me to play with. Only two geese which always stick together. The shiok thing was tat we were playing with fireworks almost everynight. Haha. Tat is so bloody fun. Got those fireworks tat shoot up into the sky, got some tat spin on the ground, many different types lah. Just ‘bomb’ ‘bomb’ ‘bomb’ the whole night. We also visited the qiong hai city and jia ji city. Qiong hai city is so damm modern. so different from 9 yrs ago. Most of the people can speak mandrain. still remember when iwent there 9 yrs ago, can hardly find one who can speak mandrain. they all speak hainanese, and my hainansese is limited. There is also international brands there like KFC and Do & Me there. Even got some well know brand like S&K, Baleno, Converse etc… too bad most of the clothes there are winter clothes, so didn’t buy anything. Went to their market also, and the variety of vegetables they sell there is just so little. So for like 3 days, we were eating almost the same vegetables. And not to mention we got ‘tok’ by the fishmonger there. We bought a fish at a certain price (I forgot how much) and we thought it is very cheap already, then we went back, my relatives told us tat it actually cost much less…. And while having dinner at a restaurant, we also almost paid more than what we ask for…. Think they seldom see foreigners, and when they see, they will surely ‘lao yi bi’.

Their plantation. Growing vegetables.

Right outside our house. Can see the hammok there? sleeping there is so damm shiok. the only thing lacking is the sea and beach..

View of the house. We have our meals at the table there and it is also our mahjong table.

The Fireworks. Like a small scale NDP. The villagers say during CNY, the fireworks can go on the whole night throughout the whole village.

Firecrackers blasting away!

Day 8
Last day in hainan. Alreadly got used to life there, starting to dread going back. After lunch, we set off for the airport. The journey took us 1 hr plus and my neck was hurting after sleeping on the van, where there is no place to rest my head and my head was spinning around. Flew from haikou to Guangzhou and the troublesome thing is tat we have to re check-in our bags at Guangzhou. So after reaching Guangzhou, and a long long walk to baggage claim (our plane was parked right at the end of the pier), took the bags, and then another long walk hunting for the international check in. the airport is just too bloody big!!!! After check in, time to go through immigration. What was irritating was tat there are lots of forms to fill up before customs, what health declaration, customs declaration, departure forms etc etc. plus only me, my 2 cousins know English well enough to fill up the forms, so 3 of us down there were like writing writing writing….. then again it is another long walk to the gate. Could have walked dunno how many km liao. On board, I was like damm hungry and waiting eagerly for the food cart to come out, only to have really crappy food. Worse that the Singapore – Guangzhou leg. And the flight attendant don’t go round serving some beverages constantly, like on SQ, and so my lips were so bloody dry. And to make things worse, the seat was like freaking cramp and with the guy in front of me reclining his seat, there is less seat. I finished reading my ‘dou yu’ and then tried to sleep. The plane back to SIN was full of turbulance, and I couldn’t even have a nice sleep. Was so glad (for the first time) tat we landed in Singapore and walked out of the plane. But what else could I expect when I pay such cheapo fees….

And so this is the end of the trip report. Wow, like writing a 5000 word essay. Alreadly tried to summarise a bit, but then…. Heck care lah. Seldom have such long entry anyway… Life there is really quite good. the simplicity no life. no complicated expensive technology gadgets there. Their kids grow up in a way so different from us singaporeans. We singaporeans are really considered damm lucky. dunno why we are still whining away ( i admit at times i do whine abt too). China is really much more developed nowadays and such a good place to visit. Next stop, i hope to visit Beijing!! definitely different from last time....

I love holidays so much!!!!!!!!!!

Hainan Trip Part 1

I am back! in fact i am back on xmas eve. counting down to xmas at the airport. surprisingly, there isn't any xmas mood at the airport while the some parts of singapore are partying like crazy. or perhaps i was too shagged to know abt any party going on.

And then yest was my duty day. After 1 day at home, got to go back to camp again… sianz X 100!!!!!!

hainan is a not bad place to be. In fact, this is my 2nd trip there. The last time I went was when I was 10. in 1996. i love the weather there! not too cold, but not hot also. It is just like in an aircon environment. so cooling. a jacket on myself and i feel just so comfortable. Plus all the nice scenery. ok, a day by day recrap....

Day 1
nothing much to talk abt. spent the whole day travelling there. flew to guangzhou, then another flight to haikou. Flew china southern airlines. Crappy airline. Cramp seats on a B757. crappy service. Crappy food. And the flight attendant speak atrocious English!!! Can’t understand a single shit of English they are talking. Reached Guangzhou after 3hr plus. guangzhou airport is just so damm gorgeous, but also damm bloody big!!! have to walk quite a distance from the gate to the customs, plus for a transfer flight, still have to go retrive our luggage and then deposit it again. and there are also quick to suck you of your money. after depositing our luggage, the check in staff told me, for each luggage, there is 10 yuan baggage insurance fee for each bag. Ok, so there goes $70 for us ( 9 ppl traveling). Then they ask if you want to arrange for a transport to go to the domestic terminal (it is quite a distance away). Considering tat my grandma can’t walk well, we said ok. Then it is another $10 each. So there goes $90. for a 5 min trip on a golf cart. Some sort of cheap trill I told my cousin. Never sat on one before. After a long wait at the airport, we finally got to board the plane and it was OMG! Before they announce we can board, those mainlanders ( I don’t mean any insult here) are all queueing up. When boarding starts, they just squeeze and push their way through. There is no such thing as ‘queueing’. So having no choice, we got to push also. Dun’t understand why they are in an eager to get on. It is not free seating. And somemore after landing, before the plane stop at the gate, some already stood up and get their luggage, wanting to leave the plane when the door is not even open. The whole lot of us just sat still comfortably until most of them got off before we walk out. This is not my only encounter with such unruly people in the trip. Will mention again later. It was already bloody late when we touched down, so we boarded the bus and went to the hotel. One thing shiok was tat the whole tour grp only had 9 of us (all my family), and the bus was like 20 plus seater. Haha. Lots of place to stretch out.

Day 2

Woke up feeling damm sleepy. Expecting a good breakfast. Those international breakfast buffet tat consist of both western and Chinese meal. But guess what, breakfast served at their hotels is crap. Just some super oily noodle, so bun, porridge and a soya bean milk tat is yucky! After eating so tat I can survive the morning, we set off on our tour. We went to visit a place called ‘ping yi pao tai’ ( I think). There is nothing much except for some cannon that were mounted there many yrs ago. Surprisingly, there isn’t any other visitors in the park. Then we visited ‘wu gong ci’(五公祠). It is a temple built to worship 5 officals from the past who were banished to hainan. In the past, as hainan was at the extreme south, it was a place where people thought to be very desolated, and so officals who made mistake were being banished there. One of the more known was su dong po (or what we call sotong ball, I still remember chen lao shi told us this during chi lesson in sec 2).

A statue of 'sotong ball' at wu gong ci

After tat, we proceed to BOAO forum site (博鳌亚洲会场). The nice thing abt tat place was the breeze. As the site is just located beside the sea, the breeze is just so cooling and it is really a nice place to have a convention. We also got a chance to take a boat along the wan quan river (万泉河). We eventually stopped on a stretch of beach. this stretch of the beach is tat one length of the beach is the river, while the other side is the sea. The sand on the beach resembles tat of sentosa’s so much tat I was wondering, is the beach fake like sentosa? after visiting BOAO, we boarded the coach again and we traveled all the way to sanya.

The meeting hall for the BOAO forum. How nice it is to have a meeting in open space.

Photo taken at the beach near BOAO venue. So bloody windy, can see the jacket zipped up all the way

Day 3
Sanya is located at the southern end of the hainan island, where it is famous for it beaches. Also recently, miss world 2005 was held in sanya. If I had gone on the trip one week earlier, I may get the chance to see the candidates. Oh, I still remember miss korea !!! our first visit was to the nan shan temple (南山寺) , where the tallest guan yin statue in the world is located. This place is more of a tourist attraction than a temple, and like every other tourist attraction, they are out to milk the tourist money. After paying for the admission ticket, visitors are ‘advised’ to buy a tram ticket, which will bring you around the place as the whole place is bloody big. One good thing is tat, one tram ticket is enough, and you can get on and off at any of the sites in the temple. Of course, have to rush for seats (free seating leh)…. One of the place we went to, had a guide bringing us around. It is like a sort of museum, but with exhibits related to Buddhism. The guide will ask you to peform activities. Like touching the various parts of the dragon for different luck, setting a lotus lamp for your family, wishing for good luck etc, and all these cost money. And they phase it in a nice way, calling it ‘money for a good deed’ (some sort like this). And when you are in there, one will obviously pay for it. It’s not nice to be so ‘giam’ after the guide used up so much saliva to bring you around and showing you the various thing. Just hope the money indeed help us ‘do good deed’. Lunch was special. We ate vegetarian food. It is buffet style and the plate we used is those type of metal tray with a few holes in it. Those type the army used in the past. But the vege food was great. An irony to tat was tat after lunch, outside the restaurant, we saw someone sending food to the kitchen, and guess what is saw? Pig trotters!! Next we visited the guan yin statue itself. Some parts of the construction has not been completed and we can only view the guan yin statue from a certain spot.

Me, my cousin and guan yin

A postcard like shot of guan yin

Next, we went to ‘天涯海角' . In the past, people thought that spot in hainan was the end of the world and hence the term. It is a beach with stones that has the word ‘天涯' and ‘海角' on it. Plus a whole stretch of stalls selling all sorts of things. Of course my mum and my cousin will go crazy and buy this buy tat. Ok, they didn’t buy a lot lah. After dinner, we were back in the hotel room. There is nothing much to do at night. Our hotel is located at some ulu spot and there ain’t any shopping around, plus it isn’t very safe to travel further. So I just watched crappy tv program. Got one show is the continuation of ‘涩女郎' , called ‘摇摆女郎'. Quite a funny show actually. Was surprised tat there is ‘冲上云霄' showing on one of the channels. I didn’t stay up to watch tat…

'tian ya'

'hai jiao'

Ok. I should stop here for the moment least my window go crazy again and i have to rewrite all the above. Part 2 coming up!

yeah. gone through a shitty week and i am going on a week leave. woo hoo!!!! have been so bloody busy this week, with lots of things to settle. sometimes, wonder y they bother to train me as a medic. have been doing the job of a medic, clerk, whatsoever.....

gave my site another revamp. dunno why the previous one cock up. just a simple layout will do. i know nuts abt html, so can't design those fancy fancy site.

nothing much to update. will update when i come back from china. bye!

yeah! finally left with 1 yr to my ORD!!! but 1 yr is still rather long. but time will pass by quickly, and soon i will be out!!!! days are starting to get more bearable for me. perhaps i am getting much used to the job i am doing. and maybe also i am starting to heck care some stuff, dun feel tat pressurised to do things liao. argh!! can't wait for tat day to come.

and 5 more work days before i go on leave for this yr. no more duties for me till i come back from overseas. tmr there is one though. but is freaking slack since it is a sunday.

i am lazy now. shall write more tmr in camp. oh btw, i gave the site a revamp and then i realise tat the layout is the same as ah tee's blog!!!!!!!!!!!!

shit

yes. 2 more weeks before i go on leave. not clearing leave though. just taking a small break from work. ppl may think that working in the med ctr is so damm slack. but when there are responsibilities, one can really have a headache. i am having a big headache now and now that mo is back, hope i can sort the things out with him, and hopefully push some of my jobs to other medics. and got new bird join us liao. quite hardworking though, just like me when i first came in. it seems like the trend tat after some time, people will just begin to slack and slowly bochup things. i think i am going into that stage liao. at the end of the day, i dun really care if the dispensary is messy or not. just lock out and then f off from the place. when no govt around, i also never do work. just keep telling myself, just push it to tmr lah. perhaps i am able to do tat now cause i cleared up some of the 'shit' left by the previous IC. i try ( i said try) not to throw shit to person taking over me next time. but apparently, some of the shit i just dunno how to clear or should i say i dun bother to find out how to clear those shit. ok. i should be more responsible. aiya. F*ck. enough of shit. tmr still have cover (on a bloody sat afternoon). more shit coming.....

i am now watching 金枝欲孽. wow. just can't believe how scheming some people can be. or shld i say i haven seen the real world yet. basically, life is abt surviving. to survive, one have to kill. i watched only 10 episodes and i am like hooked onto the show. it's like playing mind games with each other. and the show also has quite a lot of ren shen da dao li. a definite must watch drama. better than the crappy tong xin yuan. wah piang. the plot is really getting more and more ridiculous.

and oh. i almost forgot to mention abt this thing. someone sent me a program called ORD countdown timer. u just input your ORD date, your number of leave, then key in all the public holidays and it can generate how many working days you have. I am left with 369 absoulte days (not counting holidays n weekend) but for working days, i am left with 265. of course never count the weekend duties lah. but seeing the number dropping day by day makes me feel more shiok. almost one yr liao. one more yr to go!!!!

hahaha. i finally figured out how to get into blogger from camp. not that the stie is being blocked off (they block off even friendster), but i can't find the button to sign in to my account.

testing testing.....

harry porter.....

Watched harry porter the goblet of fire yesterday. It was not tat nice. There doesn't seem to be any highlight or peak to the movie. Can actually say it became quite a torture to go through the 2.5 hr movie. plus sitting in the 2nd row doesn't help. Though i have not read the book, but i feel that the movie has placed a lot of emphasis on parts of the movie that doesn't seem relevant to the plot. For example, how much of the movie was dedicated to the goblet of fire tournament? it seems like most of the tournament part was brought through quickly. and the voldermort appearing part, it is just like tat. nothing exciting. just plain plain story telling. and i dun know what is the big hoo ha abt katie leung (cho chang). she is just a ultra calefare in the movie. perhaps in the book, she got a bigger part to play. or in the next instalment, she is going to have more screen time. and hermonie sure looks damm chio and classy in tat evening gown. so different from her usual messy curly hair look. what kept me watching on was how wonderful the magical world of harry porter was. I am now thinking of going to read the book. (I never thought of reading harry porter book, the thought of reading tat ultra thick book just turns me off)

a few good movies (i think so) are coming. the chronicles of narnia, chicken little, king kong, memoirs of a geisha. so far i am looking forward to watching these 4.

mai ya hee....
mai ya hu....
mai ya ha...
mai ya ha ha.....

now this stupid song, being resung by guo mei mei kept playing on radio. and not to forget the tv ads

kan jian zhang lang wo bu pa bu pa la.......

the video tat came along with this song. some stupid retard singing to this song. freaking funny.... gd entertainment when you are bored..

http://www.funpic.hu/swf/numanuma.html

i am so bored now...

i felt like i am on duty the whole week. ended sun duty, went home on mon. went to sleep early. too knocked out. tue night got to stay for the stupid celebration thing, which was such a bore..... wed duty again. all the way until thu. today is family day at wild wild wet. i am on mc, so i didn't go! haha. can slack at home...

then at home for one whole day, i felt so bored. surf the net until i am sian. watch 2 episodes of desperate housewives and zhen ming tian nv respectively. so bored to the core... realise tat life is really monotonous thing nowadays. nothing enriching. just go to work and come home everyday. not using much of the brain. can't imagine how to study next time when i go on to uni.

talking abt uni, how come everyone is wondering an arts degree is useless? it is true tat an arts graduate earn much lesser than a sci graduate. but is it worth it to go and do something i dislike for the rest of my life? my uncle told me to go study subjects like engineering, life sci etc, can earn more money. i am like totally sick of such stuff and i have no wish to go thru another 4 yrs of torture just to earn more money next time. futhermore, i may be just stuck with a job i dislike for the rest of my life. some say a geog graduate cannot find job, can only be teacher. izit?? i had swayed in my subject choice a few times, and i cld say i haven really made up my mind. but whatever, i am not going to study a subject i really dislike just to make loads of money. at times, i may be materialistics. i want this i want tat. but i have learnt to do without certain things since young, so does it matter if i doesn't earn much. as long i can feed myself n my family, i am fine with it. hearing some things from some ppl really makes me du lan!

3 am....

watched exorcism of emily rose today. it was great! it's the entire religion vs science thing presented in the courtroom. it was interesting seeing how the lawyer defend the preist through the unexplained thing. in fact a lot of things in this world are unexplained through scientific facts, but the existance of certain things and events made it look real. Talking abt possession, it is indeed prevalent in many parts of the world, but would tat really mean the person is suffering from some psychitric problem? of course in the medical term, psychitric would be the term to explain it. but there are in fact some cases where the so called 'illness' is being cured by religious means. for me, i believe there are such things, though i have not seen them before, but i believed they were always present. anyway, the courtroom drama was really interesting and i was really so immersed in it. another thing is the 3am thing. kind of spooky....... next time when u wake up at 3 am, just go back to sleep.......

my turn for duty tmr. sianzzzzzz. ok i shld stop complaining. there are many other ppl out there who have life more sucky than mine.

haven update for such a damm long time. almost 1 month i think. everytime also lazy to write something. some update. getting a little lao jiao at med ctr. more experience liao. start duty liao. starting to run here run there liao.

and yup. med ctr internet is up! and can surf net there liao. but, cannot log on to friendster.com. such a pity. and now the rest of the guys are so crazy on hi5 and wholivesnearyou. esp dear sam and steve ( in fact i had just made steve horny in camp). at least with the net, won't be tat sian in camp. talking abt camp, this whole week sian ah. wed and fri got to do duty. no choice lah. so few people for duty. hope the next batch of cmc finish liao can post some new guys here or to bctc. then more people to cover duty. and most impt, koh lei lan better come back quickly.

been looking at xiaxue's blog recently due to net service in camp. recently she got into some trouble over some comments made abt disabled toilet. i shall not comment on tat topic, least i get into some legal lawsuit, but i had thought tat this is rather ridiculous. a blog is a place where one can freely post comments, what one real thoughts are. and yet there have been such a big hoo-ha recently over blog entries. to think i had also flamed some teachers over the net in the past. haiz. shall be more careful on what i say from now on.

I think i am rather rubbishy tonite. just talked lots of rubbish to tee. and then a whole lot more rubbish stuff to steve. reminds me of mrs nair "RUBBBBBISH". tat was the classic phase back then. the 'rubbbb' must have the trembling effect. RUBBBBBISH. talking abt rubbish, i heard this rather rubbish song on radio 933. sang by guo mei mei, the lao shu ai da mi gal, called bu pa bu pa ( i think tat is the title), which is actually a song translated into chinese from the song Dragostea Din Tei by o zone. it is also the song in the advertisement shown in cinema, with chicken little dancing and asking u to turn off ur handphone. but guo mei mei version totally cannot make it. still prefer the original version. strange tat i may find the song irritating, but i like it a lot. it is irritatingly nice.

jay chou new album out tmr. must go get it...

what is it abt vampires these days? been watching too much vampire shows recently. just completed my date with a vampire III and seen the twins effect again just now on channel U. just find tat vampire teeth are just so cool. i also got 2 of those, just tat it is not long enough to suck blood. talking abt sucking blood, it is kind of kinky huh. like necking each other like tat. hehehe.....

my date with a vampire III was good. all the way until the last episode, where i guess almost everyone who watch it will go DUH!!!! or WTF!!!! but the storyline is indeed captivating and it makes me wanna go on and keep watch. the story plot really shows how deep love can run in someone, esp a woman. there seems to be a lot of thoughts tat i just can't put to words.


btw, this is interesting...

i have been lazy to update during weekends.

time has passed quite quickly and i am almost one month old at my new work place. getting used to life there. actually life there is shiok. when snr medic is not around, can slack liao. if mo also not around, then shiok loh. can sleep, eat, play ps, do whatever. just tat cannot go home early. actually, nothing much to complaint abt liao.

haven update for quite some time. have been rather busy with my new job. stay out is really quite shiok. at least there is something to look forward to everyday and tat helps time to pass more quickly. everytime after lunch time, i would be like, yeah, only half a day more to go!! but the travelling is somehow taxing. feeling damm tired everyday. but watever, it is still good to stay out!

at least i am getting into the job. able to find drugs more easily in the dispensary. more confident when it comes to handling patients. and i finally get to draw blood!! drawing blood is more shiok than doing IV. the people i am working with are all nice. got someone to tok cock to, which is koh. too bad he going for operation tmr and won't be around for 3 mths or so. so tat means i have to take care of all the shit in the dispensary.

then staying out is shiok, but for us, we got quite a lot of duty. so many duty, so few people. of course got to cover a lot loh. now i still understudy duty. but it is just zoh boh lan there lah, unless got causalty. just like yesterday, went for my weekend understudy duty with koh. watch my date with a vamprie III the whole day. really a good way to kill a saturday when there is no one to go out with. just rent a vcd and just sit in the aircon room and slack whole day.

date with a vampire III is really good!!! although the story can be rather absurd at times, the plot really keeps one glued to the tv. can finish watching the whole of vol. 1 in one day. 18 episodes. as usual, the characters, ma xiao ling, kuang tian you (called jian tou in this series). then got another chiobu other than ma xiao ling. mao you. whoo....... can't wait to watch vol 2. guess i shall keep tat for the next weekend duty. actually the series is not all abt action. it is abt love. to what extent someone can love another.

yz going taiwan tmr liao. sianz. no one to go out with liao. guess i shall spend the next few weekend in camp and earn some off instead.

finally got posted out to the medical centres liao. got posted to ITI at tanjung gul camp, which is this super ulu camp in tuas. right beside it is the containers and the port liao. quite a hassle travelling there. luckily got shuttle bus. and the camp is so bloody old tat i felt like i had gone back to the 80s. the buildings there are all old old type. then the best thing, the medical centre got no aircon in the main areas one!!! only the MO room, dispensary etc got aircon. no more shaking leg in aircon job. sianz. then have to stay in for 2 weeks. and staying in means feeding mosquito. couldn't sleep well the first night man. whole leg kena bitten like siao. then will scratching non stop. scratch scratch until my skin also come off liao. sianz.

end of coruse loh.

yeah!! End of course loh. now i am wondering abt where i am going to posted to. heard tat most centres have to stay in for abt 1 to 3 mths. sianz. still have to stay in. just praying praying to get to a place near my hse.

the last week has been ok. final 2 iv sessions. kena poked a few times as usual. i counted the no. of scars on my hands. realise tat i kena 22 16G needle. if chinni never cock up, then one shot one kill can liao. but when he cock up, then have to poke like 4 times!! then have to offer my arm to aaron ang also. but now, yeah, no more ppl poke me. only i go poke ppl!! end of course liao, then on thu nite got a mass sabo session. not only our platoon got , other platoon also got. and our target, of course is chinni n kwek. i can't stand kwek too, dun ask me why. kwek only kena water. chinni practically become white. lucky i was hiding inside bunk 3, then never kena much, only derek n pinkie come and ka jiao me. wanted to spray ppl with air wick (a new form of sabo i have seen), but chinni dunno run until where liao. it was so funny seeing some ppl being saboed like hell. too bad we have to clean up the area like siao.

end course liao. i do miss life here compared to BMT. perhaps it's the ppl around. the cockster gang. haha. always talk cock and laugh together. i gonna miss them. esp the so cute aaron. and the pinkie i can 'suan siao' and of course mr FM933. miss singing with him.

yeah. back from camp again again. today is totally a crap day. got some service quality training. train us how to treat our patients well, how to communicate better with them, and most impt, how to win an arugment with our senior medics n WOs. really. the instructor, some outside guy, told us tat to win an argument, we have to find out the personality of the person and to talk sense into him. for the morning part, it was still ok. doing personality, the DISC thing, i am a C this time round. C for compliant. law by law person. then after lunch, it started to turn a bit crappy. only listening to 30 % of the stuff, the other 70 % is spent talking lame jokes with aaron, julian n elaine. self entertainment. too damm sian liao. saf waste money on us to go for this crappy course. not at once were we really thought how to serve our patients better. n nobody gets good service in army lah.

yest was more fun. transportation of casualty. learn how to use the stretcher and how to carry a casualty and doing lots of funny funny formation, like obstacle formation, contacted drill. whle carrying causalty and then contacted, i think the casualty poor thing loh. we have to fall on our side and then the stretcher would be like slamming onto the ground. then have to crawl with stretcher and surprisingly it is not xiong. but our shoulders are all aching. cause we have to carry the stretcher and do a modified SOC, then have to carry the stretcher with a dummy tat weighs abt 70 kg, walk abt 200 to 300m i guess to the low wall, clear low wall (with help of course, i can't clear alone for nuts sake), then cross a low beam and higher beam, crawl under a net and then walk back to the starting, go up and down a stairs and then it is not done yet. then have to do the drags. siao liao loh. shag after the soc, then have to do drag with heavy weight somemore. i partner with derek and both of us are abt the same weight. i was the causalty for the pistol drag and i had to sit on his legs, jia lat for him. then for neck drag, i was the medic and he the casualty and it was siao loh. my neck almost broke i guess. but for both drag, we help each other one lah, if not sure die. then he piggy back me. both of us are unable to carry each other using both arms, then for fireman lift, i was unable to lift him up. but he managed to lift me and walk back. pei fu! pei fu! derek, wo bai ni. now my shoulder are aching due to the stretcher carrying. though xiong, it was lots of fun!

yeah! get to spend an extra day home due to national day. dunno why SMM doesn't give us any off tmr. at least spare a thought for the instructors, where some of them had NDP cover duty today. tmr gonna be a bad day for them i guess, and it is gonna be a bad day for me too i think. test test and more tests coming up this week. but what they said is true. army test cannot fail one. but i shld at least know the basics, if not it is surely gone case.

an quick update on last week. cleared my pharmacology test. thought it was rather easy and last minute studies does help me secure a few points. then we had chemical defence. wearing the suit tat is freaking hot! plus the stupid mask tat makes even breathing laboured. wonder how one is going to fight in such a suit. we only had the suit on, not including SBO. luckily the day was raining and wearing the suit and doing all the drills wasn't tat tough. then on thu, we went to seletar camp for our confidence exercise. we had to go into this smoke chamber tat is filled up with tear gas. our grp was damm suay loh. while on the bus to the smoke chamber, a tonner broke down in front of us, blocking up the whole road, then the bus cannot go in. in the end, we had to walk all the way to the chamber, and my platoon had to carry 6 jerry cans. luckily there were quite a lot of us to take turns. then after wearing the suit and going into the chamber, we were made to do some exercise and then had to take out our mask and walk out of the chamber. the gas just made my eyes tears and my nose and throat feel hot!!! it is definitely a shitty feeling. but doing this chem defence is still an experience in itself.

and we had the AED, automatic external defibrillator, lesson on fri. it is the device that can shock someone if he suffer from a cardiac arrest. same thing, got test again, but the test is so lagi easy. they even 'revise' with you before the test. then the practical test. luckily i kena a very easy one and i cleared it one shot. some had to go 3 times loh.

have to bk in again tonite and then got fire piquet duty this sun. i wondered if i shld have accepted the offer to do today duty instead of sunday one. i just slept the whole day today. haizzz.

this week is the start of the military phase of our course. Not much military stuff for us svc medic though. first of all, we dun have to draw arms. what a great relief. it is super 'leh ceh' to draw arms. have to draw n send every day, then have to clean rifle, not to mention the rifle in your way when doing stuff. we did a practice on war time casualty aid and we had to assess the casualty while proning down. it was difficult. not to mention the MOP which is in the way, and of course the rifle. fuck sian. a lot of tests coming up. what pharmacology test, preventive medicine test, think got military PAM test also. siao liao siao liao...

spent almost the entire of yest sleeping. woke up in the morning, intending to go out. but aaron and derek last min 'fly aeroplane', then left me n jc only. go kbox 2 person also damm sian. so i thought, forget it, just stay at home n sleep. and i slept the whole afternoon, considering tat i had alrealdly slept so much the night before. it was really a long awaited sleep. a really good one. i feel so refreshed after this sleep. dunno why, at SMM, i can never seem to get enough sleep. i am alreadly the earliest to sleep in my bunk, and normally by 10 pm i collapse alrealdy. but still, always feel sleepy, but still managed to stay awake during lesson and sometimes only absorbing only 50% during boring lectures. my mind will just drift away.

managed to watch jue dui superstar this weekend. so surprised wei chong got kicked out. thought he is one of the better ones. then the girls, thought silver's jiu shi ai sucks. it was really totally off key and she can't dance for god sake. but i find her getting better looking by the day. she got tat dimples that are really cute. the best is still kelly. the sweetest girl look. woohoo! i prefer her with her hair down, in tat way, she look more natural chio.

i am thinking of taking up driving. not going to driving centre though. the charges are too damm ex. thinking of going private. the fees, as heard from my frens, are much lower. But the thing is i am not sure of where to find a good instructor and not some instructor tat want to rip ur wallet. and also, to be able to learn, i have to be fianically capable. depending on the pathetic 350 pay i am gettng ain't gonna get me anywhere. looking for any tuition lobang now. no choice but to sacrifice a little bit of my weekend time. anyone got driving or tuition lobang , inform me can?? thanks!

IV terror

another IV terror again this week. kena poked 4 times in total this week. this time using the 16G needle, which is so much bigger than the 20G we used to use. dunno why SAF must use such a big needle. to imagine how big it is, it is just sligtly smaller than a yakult straw. u can even drink from the needle. i had so much trouble with IV this week. my first try, got backflow of blood, everything was successful until i start to push the catheter into the vein. somehow the catheter got out of the vein and i had to redo my IV. 2 more unsuccessful try, where i cannot find the vein. then i finally got it on my last try, but tat was after some 'topo', which is moving the needle around to find the vein. then when khairi did his IV on mine, he poked through the valve in my vein and tat was fucking painful!!!! so people, next time if anyone screw up the IV on you, pls do not blame them. this really requires a lot of experience to be able to do a good job. and i am immune to all sorts of needle pain liao i think. poke ah, poke loh.

then this week is our test week also. end of our paramedic level. means i am officially cleared to save people on the street. the test wasn't as difficult as i think. perhaps i was lucky to get an easy case study. just breathing distress. andre got spinal management and i was the buddy. tat one more jia lat. spend a lot a lot of time on it. luckily didn't screw up the spinal one. the platoon is gonna be so damm small liao loh. the scdf ppl and the dental orderly finish course liao. going to start combat phase. they say we service ppl will just go there and observe and if possible join in. of course i want to join in lah. sit down there watch will be damm boring. one more month left for the course. yeh!!! but sad thing is tat no more nights out liao. this week alreadly no nights out.

Yeah. Another week have passed. This week, as usual lah, all lessons lessons lessons. got practical test on thu. have to do all the bandaging, burns, haemorrhage. luckily they gave me the injuries that i am confident of. then there was IV on fri, which turned into disater. tat 'dear' buddy of mine, dunno what happened to him, made me suffer 2 IV, and both resutled in haematoma, where the area on both my hands were swelled up, the left hand one being worse. but the IV session was indeed very rushed cause there was a CO talk coming up later tat day, which is to talk about the death cases in SAF in the past month. there have been 5 deaths in SAF in just one month, which is like one per week. It was indeed shocking to hear tat people had died, esp one after another in weeks. i think it might have caused some worries among the people and tat he kept stressing that the death has nothing to do with the system of SAF, and that the deaths are all caused by human factors. Perhaps some sort of curse has hit the SAF and i certainly hope there wld be no more of such cases. It has also remined me to learn my stuff properly and not to be some fucked up medic in future. talking abt fucked up, my IV skills still sucks. if i am given a hand with obvious vein, i can do it, but if given a vein that i cannot see properly, i wld be damm worried. my topo skills still sucks, and i always need guidance to find the vein. think the patients kena by me next time can call themselves damm suay.

another big hoha case this week would be the NKF saga. I had always think that NKF is being to commercialised and the way it had asked for donation is too aggressive. seeing the way cao qi tai is 'begging' for donations just simply turns me off. not that we shouldn't help these needy patients, but i can't stand his way of asking for money. now that the truth is out, with NKF citing false claims, many people would naturally feel they have been cheated, including me. In fact, i too agree that durai's pay is too freaking high, and wat's up with that 12 months bonus?? What i feel is that if he is really out to help these patients, would he require such a big pay?? such a big bonus?? these money can be channeled to the needy. not tat he doesnt' deserve a high pay (he is the CEO) after all, but a 12 months bonus (of such a great amt of money) is just absurd. now that people are asking for their money back, i also wonder the intention of the donors. do people donate just for the sake of the prizes or are they really willing to help the needy. so it is back to the topic on the way they generate donations. by using prizes to attract calls, they seem to be telling the users "come, call this number and you will stand to win whatever whatever whatever..." i wonder if people really do know the significance of their donation. I dare to say if i do donate, it would always be right from my heart, to help the needy, and not for the sake of the prize. the prize is just a bonus, which i strongly believe i dun have the luck to get it. Helping others is always good, esp when there are so many people out there with lives much worse than me. it is like CIP, i never did CIP for the sake of getting the hours, but i did it for the sake of helping others. i would have wanted to take part in more of such jobs, but shortage of time has prevented me from doing so. i admit i am selfish, i still want some time to myself, so i had never sort of sacrificed my remaining free time to help out, but deep down inside me, i wanted to help out. it is a conflicting feeling. now that the organisation is given a fresh start, i hope things would get better. it is true that they said the needy still need our help and our donations are still needed. but i hope the organisations could have asked for donations in a more rationale manner.

it was a good week. surprisingly, our dear sgt joseph has changed. on mon day, he gave us stand by bed. but he didn't check. called us to the lobby for a talk. sort of like a confrontation session. some of us guys spoke out. on the things tat he did that we did not like. he gave his own reasons. some i feel were indeed true. some i don't agree with. since then, he has changed. still strict, but not tat strict. had our RO at 7pm for the first time in the entire 3 week. and it was from him. i can feel that he somehow is surpressing his anger, cause we are still not very disciplined and there are points where he had to raise his voice. just hoping he will not unleash the fire, or it wld be hell for us.

finally after 3 weeks, i am getting very interested in the things tat i learn. i began more eager to learn abt more things. i want to know more. finally, we can implement many sceneiros into the PAM and tat had given me a much clearer view on what to do when encountering a certain incident. spinal management is the hardest of all. when suspected spinal injury, one has to do a lot of things and when turning the casualty to one side to place him on the spinal board, it really does require skills. the medic will have to keep his head and neck straight while the body is being turned to the side and that is one where i really need practice. somehow, when i turn, the head is still being moved. and being with uncooperative partners doesn't help at all. at one point, i was damm tu lan with my partners. one was complaining like shit and the other just thinks he knows everything. let see how he screw up his test.

then there was a 2nd IV session. as usual, cannot find the vein on my buddy, then change partner. sgt joseph got me a girl. wah lau. if on a girl, cannot anyhow topo topo, later she cry how. then poor miss tan became my casualty. can see the vein very clearly. after i put on my gloves and then clean tat area with the alcohol swab, somehow cannot see the vein liao. so feel for vein again, clean again, then poke the needle in. she didn't scream or what. lucky. then no backflow of blood. turn needle to the side a bit, finally found it. did the rest of the things as usual. then she told me not as pain as her first time. phew. then the next day she complain to me she got blueblack........ so IV is damm stressed leh!!!!!!!

another week

i'm back again. ok. this week isn't tat fucked up as last week, apart from the late night stand by bed. alright, i shoulnd't complaint, like what yz said. his life seemed more fucked up than mine. i no need to go chiong sua, got aircon room for lecture, a life so much better than him.

at least this week was interesting. learned much more stuff than last week. first was spinal injury. if a casualty kena spinal injury, damm leh ceh loh. have to do a lot of stuff before the casualty could be evacuated.

then there was also our first IV session. after viewing a demo, all of us were like damm nervous liao. we have to first learn how to prime our hartmann solution, which is the drip. must make sure there is no air bubble in it. so we were there tapping tapping the pack to make all the bubble go to the top. after doing it once, then i realise there is another bubble stuck at the bottom. damm! have to do it again. then come the injection part. first, it was chinni doing it on me. my arm is big size, so i scared he cannot find my vein. but after tying the tourniquet around my arm, my vein pop out and become damm obvious, so it was a one shot for him. then come disater for both of us. it was now my turn to set drip on him. but freaking hell his vein cannot be seen. his hands are fat and somemore he is black. (somehow reminded me of a joke. some guys were calling him dark chocolate and then someone mentioned he cannot be called calbury chocolate cause it is too high class). ok, back to the IV. so i only can feel for his vein. i seriously dunno where it is. even the sgt cannot feel the vein. so i poke in the needle, topo around, dig about, cannot find. reshot. on the other arm. still cannot find. even when the sgt was guiding my hand and searching around for the vein, still cannnot find. i was like WTF!!!!!! 3 tries alreadly still nothing. then change person. farhan came and i have to set on him. his vein was somehow obvious, and i hit the vein, but somehow the catheter won't go in, so have to take out the needle, and the catheter was bent. i must have pushed the needle down too hard. then another guy came, vein super bloody obvious, got it finally. and throughout the whole process, my hand was trembling, not doing the injection part but during the taping up and bandaging part. in the end, due to me kneeling down for damm bloody long (5 shots), end up i couldn't stand up properly. my legs just turned jelly. lucky didn't fall and spill the hartmann solution all over me. just when i tot all was over, i had to be the casualty for another guy shawn. lucky also one shot kena vein. i am so glad that i am blessed with a fat arm but a vein that is very obvious. i shld prepare myself mentally tat i am going to be kena shot at least 2 times for future IV sessions.

then on fri came our CPR lesson. finally i have learnt CPR properly and have the certification. what was interesting was the infant CPR, which is totally different from adult one and somehow it made me damm confused. i had a slight cock up during the test but luckily it was not a fatal mistake and i did managed to pass all 3 with one try. meanwhile my partner JC got lots of cock up and somehow made me a bit nervous also. during the 2 man CPR, i actually did something stupid by counting "1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and switch and 6..." i just blurted out 6 unknowingly. then also got "1 and 2 n 3 n 4 n 5 n 1 n 2 n 3 n 4 n 5 n 1 n 2 n 3 n n 4 n 15". the correct one shld be tat the 2nd 5 is replaced by 10. some beat thing. like during 综艺大哥大 , when 玛格利特 said " 一到十要下, 十一到十五不要下". still remember tat episode, damm funny. but one whole day in the aircon room made me feel so damm freaking cold.

watched inital D also with yz. it was such a cool movie, all the drifting. made me want to own my own car so much. i gonna work towards my goal. i wanna get my license. i want to get my own car!! think jay had an easy time with his role. he was just being hmself in the movie, act cool, then smile smile a bit, got very few lines for him also. and the song 一路向北 is so damm nice!!

fuck.

My mood is turning from bad to worse now. Lots of fucked up thing happened today. Plus the fact that i have to go for fire piquet duty tmr at 7 am made it much much worse.

one week have passed by for the training. wat fuck. damm regimental. even tekong wasn't this strict. stand by every morning. fuck. then i am bunk ic (what gd luck i have). kena fucked more. then, my nemesis from tekong is now my buddy. what else can be more fucked up! i try to accept him as my buddy, but tat blur fuck always sleep during lessson and his practical are quite fucked up. i am gonna suffer for my IV. then everyday lesson end fucking late, if not will have some pep talk session, end up sleeping fucking late. then wake up fucking early to do the fucking area cleaning and have fucking standby, then the lessons all day. lectures are the worst. have to force myself to stay awake. at least practical are not tat bad. i find the lec are all crap. only the prac are useful. then have to report to camp at 7am tmr for some bloody dumb shit fire piquet duty. basically just sit in the wos room and if there is any fire, have to go fight the fire and shout 'fire fire'. bloody stupid. why? just because the fucking building doesn't have a fucking sprikler system but got fire alarm system. damm fucked up rite? then why me on a sun?? just because they go by the bed and i am suay suay the first bed to kean sun. fucked up!

enough of all the fuck. i just feel so fucked up now.

this week

back from camp. not actually. as we were posted to SMM (sch of military medicine) one week eariler before the course starts, we then become the temp support staff, and get to book out everyday. 8 to 5!! but actually it means 7.30 to 5.30. dunno why there is a half hr added to the book in and out time. nee soon camp is actually a rather nice environment. it is close to residential area, unlike tekong, where everywhere is trees and forest. the building that we are going to stay in has 10 storey, complete with 2 lifts. the bunk are quite small, but decent to fit 8 person in it. the toilet is huge, but looks damm dirty. however, still useable. no complaints abt the environment. then the food, so far for this week, food is definitely much better than tekong. fruits can OTOT (own time own target). no long queue for food (i guess it is not so when training starts). Hope this trend goes on. we actually did nothing much in camp. book in in the morning, so some shit work, then slack slack slack. i was like reading my book until my eyes almost pop out. by the way, battle royale is really interesting. shall only do my analysis when i finish the book. i am fucking bored in camp. can't wait for training to start. at least i have something to do.

talking abt training, have to stay in from next week onwards. sian! then we learnt that we have to perform 10 success IV (intravenous) injection. think my arms gonna be so bruised. we had our hep B screening and we went to the medical center to draw blood. this medic found my vein, poke the needle in and was turning the needle about to find my blood. still no blood came out. then another medic told him "hey, put the syringe and see". he did so and then there is blood. i was like duh!!! thought i gonna kena another jab. if a trained medic got tat type of problem, i can't imagine what will happen during our training. and if it is those super big guys whose vein cannot be seen, then it is gd luck to them..... met yee chwan at town and he told me be prepared to have a mrt track on my arm........

and i did went back to nj for their pa camp. only 5 of us went back. the no. of ppl in the camp is also very few. but glad to note that things are still going alright for them. walked around the school also. the canteen was undergoing some major renovation. they should do so long time ago. the canteen is so small and when it rains, all the rain water will come splashing into the canteen. still remember kena attack by rain once. in the end, we stayed too late and had to climb out of the gate. it is rather an irony that it was my first time climbing the gate (i am a good boy) and that i have alreadly graduated. rather fun to do so.

also met up with teewei, kunying, leeching n peishan. haven had an outing where all 5 of us were present for some time. went to the new marina sq and it was totally different from the past. it somehow looks like the esplanade. we talked a lot over lunch and we concluded tat talking is our fav past time. and teewei got a good vocation. some vehical technican. stay out vocation. shiok!!! what gd luck he has. whereas dear kunying doesn't have such luck. it seems to be quite bad for him. at first i wasn't tat keen abt getting medic, but after seeing the other shitty vocation others have gotten, i count myself very lucky alreadly.

ok. nothing much to talk abt liao. got to start my training tmr.

tekong chalet

I am sure everyone held of the infamous 'Tekong Chalet'. Look at the building from the outside. it is really chalet like. everyting is so new. During my 6 months stay there, i didn't feel like it was a chalet, till yesterday, i realise the true meaning of it.

Had to go back for re hand grenade. wanted to go because i want to have the experience of throwing a live grenade. one would not have considered going through army if he doesn't experience this. so went back on fri night. only 8 ppl turned up for the re HG and re BIC. so we had the option of staying in the annex room. of course we agreed to it immediately!!!! for non NS ppl, the annex room is sort of a recreational room for recruits. inside got air con, plus tv, plus pool table. who woundn't want to stay in the room. so we spent the night there, not sleeping but rather enjoying ourselves. initially we thought that with tv, can watch channel 5,8 and channel U. but then, the stupid tv only have indonesian channel. tried setting tv but still cannot find local channel. just when we thought there was to be no tv for us, sgt michael brought in 2 vcd for us. so we had a mini movie marathon. most ppl 'peng' after the first movie, American Pie 2, only me and thomas stayed on to watch Hitch. AP 2 was so freaking funny. it was still enjoyable despite watching it a second round. this time round it was clear as it was the original copy. Hitch was enjoyable too. too bad the quality isn't good as it is a pirated version. those that is shot in the cinema. can even see one guy walking off towards the end of the show. in the end slept for only 2 hrs plus. Just like in chalet, where late nights are common. we were supposed to have 7 hrs of sleep in fact, but who cares.

so the next morning, slack a bit before going to the HG ground. first threw the SPG 93, which is the practive grenade. then moved on to throw the actual one. when the grenade exploded, can really feel the vibration when i am in the throwing bay. lucky my grenade went out quite well. didn't know where it landed though, cause the sir pulled me down immediately right after the grenade left my hand. for safety of course.

then went back to coy line. only to find out tat we missed the 1pm fastcraft and the next fastcraft is at 5.30 pm!!! freaking hell!! have to stay there for another 4 hrs plus. but turned out the 4 hrs plus wasn't tat bad. cause we played monopoly!!!! during the game, we kept commenting tat this is really like chalet!!! we eventually booked out happily at 5.30. saying bye bye to the island. i do not wish to go back there again. which also means don't post me to tekong medical center after my course.

one conclusion. as long as one is not a recruit, tekong is really considered a chalet for one.

MEDIC???? slack vocation? think should be yes. service medic somemore. think no need to go chiong sua liao. have to go for 9 weeks training at nee soon camp, then posted out to other medical center. have to stay in for another 9 weeks.... sianz. the good thing, at least it is not for the rest of my ns life. I pray pray pray no need to stay in when posted out. heard stories abt the training. have to poke each other hands with the needles used for drips. heard those are rather thick. if poke other ppl only, nvm, but i also need to be kena poked by someone else. then somemore my hands are prone to shivering esp when i am 'gan jiong'. the poor guy who i am going to poke the needle into is going to suffer..... after training, hope can shake leg in medical center lah. need to lug all my things to the new camp on mon. haizzz. nothing to say. just pray for the best. i shouldn't be complaining. some others have gotten more shitty jobs. and also J.C. and chinni got the same posting as me. praying not to be in same bunk as chinni, if not have to endure his super loud snoring again!!!

back to yesterday. went back for the re 24 route march. only 6 guys from platoon 3 went. a lot just went back and show MC. should have done the same stunt. but dun really wish to spend money to get MC. going broke liao. just bought a new bag plus a few clothes during the great singapore sale. only chinese was me and stephen lah. this is the first time i talked so much to stephen. when talking to him, i just have to take the initiative to go talk to him then he will talk also lah. everyone was thinking to falling out so tat we can end early and book out on the same day. then sir (my ex pc) was like telling us we are not allowed to book out the same night. since i have walked so many many bloody round around the stadium, might as well complete the whole damm thing. so in the end, only 5 person were left standing and completed it. out of 26 guys who stayed over. we walked on because we knew we cannot book out, so might as well walk loh. then when back at company line, sir did another 'stunt'. he let those who complete the walk to book out immediately while the rest have to stay another night. can see that the others were rather pissed with us and with him. some were having the idea tat if we fall out early, all of us can book out together on the same night. but the fact is tat we were not allowed to and i think sir talked to oc anc oc allowed eventually allowed the 5 of us to book out tat night. a lot of ppl were pissed with sir too. tat why we were like chop chop pack our stuff and go off liao. seeing the others made me feel uncomfortable. but whatever, get to book out can liao. so the 5 of us walked or rather limped to TFT for our ferry. kena 3 big blister on my leg. lucky not as jia lat as last time 16 km one. and walking the re 24 is so fucking slack lah. field pack all newspaper. the only weight is the dummy rifle. it is just the blister on the leg tat is making the walk slightly unbearable. and also at night after dinner, the new spec posted to eagle coy came to walk with us. when left with the final 5, we were practically walking quite a distance apart. i was lagging a bit due to my blister. luckily got the new sgt walking with me and talking cock to him, then i wasn't tat sian anymore. i think i am actually crazy, actually go and walk round and round the stadium. should have done the same 'stunt' as others loh. whatever, it is over and i get my book out. yay!

tonight have to book in again. for grenade. hope tat it is also fast fast chop chop finish up then book out. so i was thinking, if more person get att c, then much better. i am willing to go for grenade cause it is the only time where i will get to throw it. what just sucks is tat i have to go sleep there for one more night. in fact, i have to stay in for 9 more weeks. argh!!!! gonna miss all the exciting show on tv. saw a bit of lost yest on the ferry. looks quite nice, but i was thinking, when a plane crash, there surely will be a rescue team to search for them wat. dunno, maybe it was explained in the show and i didn't get to see it. and also jue dui superstar. missed both episode this week. i want to see tat ru hua lookalike. me and another platoon 4 guy were making fun of her yest. imitating how ru hua speak. and also jiu3 wu3 zhi4 zun1. tat show looks interesting. gonna see how da xia climb the corporate ladder. and no more desperate housewives!!! no more eva longoria!!!

pop loh!!!!!

Finally POP loh!!!! after 6 bloody months, finally i no need to go back to tekong! hope i am not posted to tat place again.

these few days have been damm busy. before pop, have all the rehearsal to attend. stand in the sun and march for one whole day. we earned ourselves a nights off, only to realise it adds to the hassle. then comes the parade. people said it was a very well done one. i think it was so so only. definitely not our best performance. the drill comp segment had a bit of cock up, but we made it up with our solid bang! Finally, everything is over! over in such a breeze. looking back, it seems like i am still rehearsing for the pop parade. Miss my days in bmt?? definitely not. well, part of it i do miss.

i can say 6 months there is worth it. i lost in total 20 kg!!! down by waist size by 6 inches. if without army, i think i wld still be a fat ass. not tat i am now slim, yes i am still fat, but not AS fat. now i am thinking, how the hell am i going to keep it this way?? while outside, i am really tempted by all the food outside, but i now self control now. i kept myself from walking into mcdonald today. but i did have a feast last thu. it was for celebration, plus a good get together with kenny. hard to realise that he hasn't been with us for almost 2 months. without him, there is no one for me to talk to, no one for me to make fun of. haha. definitely miss him. his leg cannot heal in a cast and the doc actually told him to leave it alone and let it heal by itself. tat is gonna take ages and he is going to limp around for quite some time. back to food. the sakura buffet was quite worth it. quite a lot of variety, but taste wise, it is only so so. but what to expect when it is only 20 plus dollar. and no more such buffet for me!!!

i am sian of updating alreadly.....

one more week and i'll be through. one more week to POP!

finally, the day is coming. going to leave that out of nowhere place. actually tekong is not bad. but it is just too freaking far from my house. i can't possibly travel by cab everyday and the hassle of taking the mrt puts me off. ok, i shall pray that i won't be posted back there. Give me a 9 to 5!

another short week, for me only. booked in only on tue due to my bloody feet. can still hardly walk then. so, i went to report sick on wed and the medical centre was freaking crowded. crowded till the extend that i have to sit on the floor. then the long wait to see the doc began. wait wait wait. told to go for lunch first, then come back wait wait wait. see the doc. gave me excuse footwear 7 days, then wait again. status came soon after. then wait wait wait until near to 5pm then i got my medicine. spent almost the whole day at the centre. then it was the recruit night. what a boring event. no atmosphere. no fun. just eating something that is not worth the $8 i paid. then watch some performance. tat's it. end of it.

excuse boots means walking around 'bua long long'. no need to wear even shoes. means never so SIT test (haha, i am so glad tat i didn't go. ok. i admit i chao keng one. if there is no SIT test, i still can endure the little pain on my feet, but it is becase of this bloody stupid thing, then it became 'very painful'.) only 8 out of 24 ppl from my platoon went. haha. no one wants to be commander. we can't make it anyway. so it means doing sai gang. then slack slack slack until fri. got an off pass and got out of tat place on fri evening. why? because of the FASS open day. didn't intend to go actually, but then heard from gabriel tat he getting off pass because of tat, plus sat is a super late book out, why not ?

so i went down on sat. found out more abt the geog course. more or less i am decided in majoring in that. found out abt the modular credit thing. have to take modules from other dept and faculty. i am very blur abt tat. plus the exchange program. i want to go on one of such program. i want to experience how it is like studying overseas. tat would mean coughing out money myself. sianz. no money how??

met up with friends during this weekend too. the cheena gang from s07. apparently peiling n kaining got teaching scholarship. kim may be going for tat too. imagine all the smart ppl i am around with during jc and yet i am still so dumb. ok forget tat. it was great meeting up with them, talking abt what they are doing and so on. went to watch the amityville horror with yingxuan. the movie sucks! didn't understand the plot at all. feel like i have wasted 9.50 on tat. watched star wars 3 with yz on sunday also. perhaps i am not a great star war fan. i don't get some parts of the story. argh.. i am too lazy to write it out here. forget it. i should go rewatch 1 and 2 and perhaps i shall get the whole thing clear. just like the matrix.

2 more weeks to go.....

haven blogged for a long time. it is mon night and i am not in camp. yes, on att c for 2 days. why? all because of the bloody blister that i kena during the 16km route march. the blister kena infected and the wound is now bloody red. have been hoping around the house for 2 whole damm day. don't think it gonna recover so soon.

16 km route march was sort of a killer. i haven walked until the stage i am going to peng before. it is ultimate shag! the march started at about 4pm in the evening. the first 8km march was in the day so the fun made me shagged. the night march was much more enjoyable, but the blister was making is so painful to walk. i kena the blister at the 6-8 km. then the blister burst during the 10-12 km part. it was fucking painful!!!! i can feel myself trembling from the pain after the march. i feel like a cripple at the end of the day. had to ask JC to help me carry my bag up, ask him to help me put bedsheet. THanks a lot to him! whithout him, i think i have alreadly been dead! whatever, i survived 16km!!!!!

other events in the 2 week haitus. finished the 2nd field camp which is the group section training (GST). basically the same as the first camp, fire movement but this time round we got to walk a circuit and then execute the fire movement. my grp was quite fucked up. still we got thru it. then towards the end, have to do arti drill back to the start point. and WTF, we had to start running from a spot quite far away, up a bloody slope!!! then came basic assault course, where we had to crawl in mud, attack figures. tat one was fun, but hell lot dirty. mud all over the body and webbing. then we got BIC the following, which is the battle innoculation course. there are GPMG live rounds firing above your head and you have to crawl through the thing. i initially thought the thing will be damm scary, but when i went thru the course, it was like duh! only a few pathetic rounds firing. not even simulating a real war zone. it was just that the leopard crawl all the way and back crawl when i come to the barb wire zone that is tiring. plus it rained damm heavily the night before, a 'swimming pool' greeted me at the end. downright dirty and even got sand inside the underwear. i dun think i wanna mention about the cleaning up part.

finally finally, bmt is coming to an end. for other ppl, bmt is just a short stint, but for me, it is so fucking loooong!!!! finally going to leave tat place. now looking back, tat place isn't as fucked up as what i used to think. perhaps i have become closer to my bunk mates, to my platoon mates that have made things much more bearable. still, i can't stand the long travelling time to reach there. praying praying hard to get posted to a good place!!!

2 more weeks to go.......

field camp 1

yeah! finally survived through field camp 1. haha. only 3D2N. it's chicken feat compared to others who stay there for 7 days. at least it was a new experience. not tat i didn't stay outdoor before, but it's my first time staying somewhere without a proper toilet, plus eating crap food!

when we first reached there, we had to build our basha. the campsite was situated in a rubber plantation and the ground was slightly sloping and very uneven. finding a suitable sleeping spot is hard, and then the basha have to be aligned with the others, so me n my buddy had no choice but to place our basha on a ground where it is damm sloping. our building the basha and some tekan session, have to go dig shit hole. section 3 n 4 have to go dig the shit hole and wah lau, freaking hard ground makes it freaking hard to dig. we only have one of the shit hole digger thing, so for the rest of the hole, we were using the ET stick n blade to dig. what was frustrating was that some ppl were just standing down there eye power, while the rest were digging like hell, taking turns to help each other. i couldn't be bother to say anything. after all these, time for the first taste of field ration. it is actually not bad. maybe when i am hungry, i find anything also nice. when i take the first bite, i wanted to vomit, but the more i eat, the better it taste. still find menu 3 the best. got pasta n nonya curry rice. enjoyed tat packed totally! the dessert sucks though. gave them to other ppl.

what we did there is actually quite slack. just have to do some basic fire movement, shoot some blanks, then we are done. actually most of the time was spent toking cock with our sec com. on the last day, we were just sitting down there and toking cock with our pc, and then hear stories from him abt his jcc course in brunei. got take pictures too, but forgot to take during powder bath. and ya, powder bath is so fun! imagine one with only underwear on in the middle of the jungle, making urself look as white as possible, then have to 'ease spring squeeze trigger' and edward (my buddy) actually flashed at sgt koh!!! freaking funny! and lots of funny things happen also, like chinni farting so loudly when he was proning down. even sgt chris got nothing to say. and the best got to be chinni's snoring. he was snoring so freaking loud that i was awaken by his snore a few times at night. his snoring got melody somemore. like wild boar like tat. of course, his snoring attracted the sgt's attention to his tent at night, and of course, my tent, being beside him, also came into the commanders attention. somemore tired to take my rifle on the first nite, but i held on to it and pull it back from him. till now, i still dunno who tat is. the best got to be tat chinni's volt carrier group got stolen by sgt koh ( i think). he can actually strip his rifle and take out the things inside without him knowing. best liao!

the downside, got to be the sandflies bite i gotten all over my hand. sianz. super itchy, then cannot scratch. next week still got another camp, 2D1N. going to get more bites. sianz.....

老鼠爱大米

我听见你的声音 有种特别的感觉
让我不断想不敢再忘记你
我记得有一个人 永远留在我心中
哪怕只能够这样的想你
如果真的有一天 爱情理想会实现
我会加倍努力好好对你永远不改变
不管路有多么远 一定会让它实现
我会亲亲在你耳边对你说(对你说)

我爱你爱着你 就像老鼠爱大米
不管有多少风雨我都会依然陪着你
我想你想着你 不管有多么的苦
只要能让你开心我什么都愿意这样爱你

at first when i saw the title, i thought i was rather corny. but looking at the lyrics 我爱你爱着你 就像老鼠爱大米, it somehow brought out the meaning of 我爱你.

range

finally came back from range. it was just so freaking tiring. had only abt 10 hrs of sleep in the 3 days. came home on fri nite and slept all the way till sat afternoon. and the crap food they give there gave me diarrhoea. how pathetic it can be. next week still have 12km route march followed by field camp!!

at the IMT, my results are not bad. when it comes to the actual range i am actually a bobo shooter. my day range is still ok, just that i cannot shoot well when it is prone unsupported. dunno why also. then when it comes to night range, it become worse. for the first day, during nite practice. i miss almost all my shots!!! then on the 2nd day test, i somehow managed to just pass the range. then the 3rd day day range test, results are also just ok. the good thing is that my rifle did not have much IA, only got once, where there is no feeding. suspect it is due to the faulty magazine. some ppl have IA almost every time. then it is super suay! talking abt suay, i also have my suay moment. got once i was sitting under a table, then i stood up and crashed my head onto the eduge of the table. now the bump is still on my head. the worse thing is that whenever i put on my helmet, it was press on tat area and it is fucking painful!! i am so glad that range is over and i need not go back to that pathetic place to sit down there and wait for my turn to shoot.

and now that the govt has decided to built the casino, not one but 2! i was wondering, can singapore support 2 casino?? and there seems to be too much restrictions regarding entrance to the casino. one of which is the $100 entrance fee. many people feel it is ridiculous. spend 100 just to get in?? if for me, i rather take the 100 bucks to go to genting and i can alreadly bet like siao! i am not a siao on gambler, so i think i just go for the jackpot machine. i admit i have no luck. i only won one lucky draw for some cd that i didn't even go collect. another lucky draw is during sec 2, where is 'won' the lot to go ATC in ubin. then when i went to korea, i went into the casino in the hotel, actually i am illegal to go in then, i lost like 10 sin dollar in jackpot machine. but that is spending money to entertain myself. never try jackpot before what, so go and try loh. whereas my father had luck. he still managed to win some money through jackpot. that why he is a gambler. the good thing is that he didn't gamble as much as he used to once i was born into the family. so is gambling addictive? i think yes. when one win some money, he wld think he wld win more, so he gamble more, with larger stakes. and another rule the govt imposed that i heard on tv is that one can ban his or her family member from entering the casino. seriously, when one wants to gamble, there are lots of other revenue to gamble. and sporeans are alreadly gambling through 4d, toto, soccer and all these shit, so with a casino, does it makes a great differece? with a $100 entrance fee, if one do not pay for it, he can always go to genting. the bus ticket alone won't cost even 100 bucks. now that the govt has decided, no point aruging over it. and i hope the integrated resort wld offer something good, not something that wld die and collapse within 10 yrs.

finally i am in the mood to make a decent entry. just had a very very nice sleep. i still love the bed at home. indeed, i miss home a lot after going to ns. now it has become like a hotel to me, where i just come home to sleep for one nite, and the next day, before i knew it, i have to go. i just watched a show on how ppl sent keiko, the whale in the movie Free Willy, back to his home, the seas off iceland. it made me feel so much abt home. i had always look forward to leading a life overseas all by myself, being independent and so on. but now i am thinking, am i gonna survive? physically yes. emotionally, perhaps a no.

i just looked at my expenses this month and holy shit, i spent quite a bomb on music cds. esp now with the china import cd that are much more cheaper than the local ones. in just a week, i had bought 3. u know, when things are cheaper, u tend to buy more and end up spending lots more money. but i won't feel good if i dun buy. haiz. just have to cut down on expenses elsewhere, esp now i wun have much chance to spend money except on weekends. the FIR cd is just simply great! i just love their genre of music. it is like a mix between rock and slow songs, and i wld say rather unique. just couldn't stop listening to them. and then there is ah sang, another cd i bought. her music is those slow and dreamy type. just perfect for listening when i am alone and sort of seeking some solace. and i was rather glad that she handled sarah mclachlan's angel well, though i feel like something is still not there. truly one strongly recommended album that is kind of underrated. much better than some songs like cyndi's honey that get more and more irritating the more i listen to it. haha. and now jolin just came out with a new song, ye man you xi. it is kind of like kan wo 72 bian, where she takes on a rather special type of music. but i find the song a bit of like acting cute or rather, i dunno how to describe it. dunno why, somehow i sort of enjoy it.

and i was was surfing around and chanced upon memoirs of a geisha movie. it shld be coming up in dec this yr. would be looking forward to it. i finished the book a few ago and i was like so mesmerised by the story. at first, i had thougt it was a true story, someone narrating the story, but after reading the acknowledgement, i author said the story of nitta sayuri is actually a fiction. i feel cheated, but the author is able to make the whole story look so real. it has made me look deeper into the life of a geisha. initially, i also had the perception that geisha are prostitutes, but after reading, i realise they are not. but i still wondered, how do they draw the line between a geisha and a prostitute. like in the book, geisha sell their virginity for money. i wonder if real geisha does that. the book mentions that they are kept women, where their expenses are being paid by their danna. at some point through the story, i wonder if geisha themselves are happy with the type of life they are leading. and the book had gave me an insight into japanese culture. most people are facinated with japan modern culture, their technology, their fashion, their music and of course their porn (ok, it sounds crude, but it is quite true), but not many wld look into their rich tradition. and the movie gonna star zhang ziyi, michelle yeoh and gong li. 3 beautiful chinese actress. definitely a must watch i suppose.

ok. enough crap. got to book in in a few hrs time. ultra sianz.

Have not blogged for the past 2 week. at least now life at bmtc is much more better. got more things to do and experience. things are no longer boring. i actually quite enjoy army life now. but it is very tiring. everynite, i wld just lie down on the bed and drift off to sleep in just a few minutes.

finally got a chance to go to the IMT aka tekong arcade. it really looks like an arcade. 10 screen in front of you. 10 rifle. at first my aiming was rather cocked up. i even once aimed without looking through the rear sight. but luckily it got better. then it comes to flash target. not much time to aim. just have to aim quickly and shoot. for tat one, my score is also not tat horrible. still can make it. at least it was fun. get to enjoy the aircon. can really sleep when in prone position.

then we have IFC lesson. finally learning how to fight like a army after being in the army for so freaking long. also, the lessons are much more interesting. but the camo cream really sucks. when it is on the face, when i sweat, all the camo goes into my eyes, the worse thing is tat i can't clean it cause there is also camo on my hand. the first time we camo on, some of my platoon mates really do damm funny. titan put on too much green camo and then he look like incredible hulk! then got once when lao da wipe is face, the black is mixed with green and his whole face look freaking funny. then the wash up part is hard too. those stain around the eyes are very hard to clean off. so we all look as if we have put on eyeshadow and mascara. some even went for lunch looking like tat yest. think i clean the area around my eyes like 4 to 5 times before everything comes off. and the worse thing is tat our csm says we have to camo on during every IFC lesson!!!!

i am too lazy to update anymore. weekends are just now spent catching up on my sleep. think when i pop, i can sleep for 24 hrs straight.

1199

i'm back again. kind of feel like a super long week in camp. haven had a short weekend for sometime. thinking that labour day holiday is still long away makes me sianz.

at least this weekend is kind of refreshing. had our basic close combat training (BCCT) lesson. heard from the others that the instructors are fucked up ones, but in our case, our instructor is not tat fucked. he always praise us and say we are performing well. dunno it is to encourage us or not. but still, it made the lesson enjoyable despite having to stand in the horse riding stance for a long time while doing punches. 3 BCCT lesson continuously this week. wah piang! the thigh muscles are hurting after all the stance. at least during the last lesson, we learn the jab and punch thing, it is more fun. think BCCT is more effective than running. my long 4 was socked from top to bottom and wah lau, even got sweat dripping from my shirt. can't imagine that i wore the same shirt for one whole week.

next was route march. had to do a 6km one. in long 4. walking is not tough, then feelpack doesn't feel tat heavy these days, but wearing long 4 is freaking hot! at least we walked a slightly different route from last time, so it was kind of enjoyable. walked over to sispec, finally saw how the place look like. saw them doing soc. siong sia... then the fun thing was jinbao was leading some hokkien cheer with lots of chee bai and whatever and some of us were still singing. but too bad got one bad too vulgar liao, then hew say stop singing.

this morn had our SOC lesson. before tat was the oc muster parade, which was utter crap. it was rather fucked up. not really us fucked up, but the sgts. then the national anthem also didn't play. at least it ended in a short while. went to SOC after tat. today is just introduction. at first they claim that those having BMI of 30 and below then can do SOC, but now they change it to 35. then in my section, only 3 ppl are going, including me. but i think all of us should have gone under 35. some then go and talk with sgt, saying they want to go soc, while some chao keng ppl just stay away, giving excuse like saying wah lau, leg pain ah, cannot jump ah, later leg break ah and so on.... ( yest nite he was complaining to me.... i was like duh...... just shut up...) anyway, soc looks rather fun, though when one do it, it wld be tough. today we just looked at the FS doing. wah lau, he clear every station at ease leh. think for me, the wall, the monkey bar and the rope is gone case one lah. the rest i shld be able to do lah. but with SBO and rifle, dunno how also lah. so shall wait until the next soc lesson.

going to meet my 2nd uncle on my mum side, who come from hong kong. in fact he alreadly came for quite a few day and he is going back tmr. i dun even know how he look like. my mum said he came when i was 3 yrs old, but back then still blur blur, everything also dunno. kind of strange, not even knowing how my own relative look like. and one of my cousin also coming. gonna be a crowd at my hse tmr. cannot sleep till 12 pm alreadly. maybe tat's a good thing also, cause when i go back to camp tmr, i can just lie down on bed and knock out, provided some bastards dun keep talking till the wee hours of the nite. it has been freaking irritating. ppl sleeping on both sides of me are talking talking talking even after lights out. normally, i wld be listening to the radio before i sleep or rather the main purpose of the radio is to cover up their talking. sometimes i wld slowly drift off to sleep or wld just lie down there and cursing them under my breadth. fucking hell!!!!!

and oh, i almost forgot to menion this. today while booking out, when boarding the ferry, the ferry rocked to one side and all the water that has collected on the roof over the door just poured over me!!!! i was like freaking drenched. showers of blessing huh. thinking of buying 4D today, but too long queue, so going to buy tmr. buying the registration number of the boat. 1199.

out

being the long weekend, of course have to go out and enjoy myself. end up spending a whopping amt of money this month. dun know how i did tat too.

met up with my section mates for kbox. decided to go to the suntec one. end up i was the one earliest there. called them and they are still ages away from city hall. decided to go to hmv and mph at citylink. in the end stayed and browsed magazine at mph. read fhm. i realise something, in the army, there is no need to buy fhm. cause surely someone will have it. and anyway, sometimes, the contents are rather crappy and it is not worth the money. when they came, went to kbox. and i have absolutely nothing to say abt their service there. the waiter or rather attendants(dunno what lah) were all having this bo chup attitude. and then we ordered lunch as part of the package. we ordered at abt 11 plus and food only came at 1.30pm. and the food wasn't anything great either. it was some instant microwave food. then wtf are they taking so long with the food? even when the session end at 2pm, not all the food ordered came. the food wasn't like tat when i went for the k lunch in the past. at least tat time there is decent food. but now it was total crap! decided to go our different ways, i was feeling rather zonked out after the session alreadly. dropped by orchard to take a walk. sometimes, it feels good to be shopping or walking about alone, cause i can just dun bother abt my other frens if i am with them. where i feel like going i just go. went up to kino and check out the chinese books. gonna read some of such books. but the irritating thing is most of the books are in the traditional chinese format. means traditional chinese characters. but also, some of the books are those where the word goes vertical. i have not much problem reading trad chinese, but reading text downwords, i am definitely not very used to it. walked around the loads of chinese books, feeling rather lost there. dun really know what to get. in the end, left tat place with nothing.

met up with yz at jurong point yest. wanted to catch a movie, but we went too late. not much timings. so we just walked round and round jp. while walking around, we talked so much. abt army, esp abt life after army. there are so many things we both wanna do, but whether we are able to is another qns. money is one big problem. haiz, having loads of money wld be so good. but on the other end, i am alreadly much fortunate than many ppl in this world. i have most of what i want. so i shldn't complaint anymore. went to JE to walk around as well. i haven visited the je library after it reopened and it was freaking huge. lots of empty spaces tat cld be better utilised i think. i was amazed at the top level, some corner for teens. even have place where one can sit down and listen to music. got a mini stage for performance. got those type of seat that is being filled up by beans, like a super big bean bag like tat. even got place for graffitti. why last time the library wasn't like tat when i was in rv.

still slacking...

so fast the long weekend has come to an end. going to book in later. this time round, it is at 8.30pm. super crazy. by the time we reach company line, it wld be freaking late. plus have to touch up on my uniform (for oc muster parade), then have to tidy my cupboard (got stand by bed tmr) and then pack field pack (for route march tmr also). freaking hell. when we wanted to book in early, the timing become so damm late. then when we wanna book in late, the timing is always damm early. but if the following weeks all have this late book in, i wun mind. i wld be much more happier.

the same thing loh, the past week has been again super slack. still logistic day for 4 days. still like the ptp phase. and oh ya, we changed out mattress. it is some old mattress from dunno which camp. though it is old one, it is much harder and thus much better to sleep on. and our old mattress? heard our csm say some other company wants them??? those old mattress are so fucked up tat u can feel the spring poking against u when u sleep, and still some other ppl are gonna sleep on them??? and they didn't know what happened to the mattress before they used it? before changing the mattress, we had a mini slumber party in our bunk. we lay out the mattress on the floor and then one by one began to jump on it. haha. i didn't join in the fun. dun wanna get squashed up by someone else. looking at the scene really makes me laugh like hell, like i am watching some comedy in front of me. so those mattress are even more spoilt than they look. another thing is the 'wake up call' frm csm. thought we gonna kena very jia lat, but luckily it didn't. seriously, some kuku from the company just wldn't wake up. esp the smokers, always cause the whole company to kena something. won't be surprised if another of such event come up in the following week. seriously, sometimes i feel like strangling some ppl.

talking abt strangling ppl, there is this guy, i said to myself, i had enough him! he is freaking irritating. whenever i stand beside him, as in stand by area or drawing arms, he just yak and yak to me non stop. i once scream (literally) 'shut up pls' into his face, but tat bastard just wldn't stop. and the most irritating thing is tat he speaks to me sometimes with his face so close to mine. and the worse thing is his breadth isn't tat nice smelling. now what i do is to get as far as possible away frm him. i wld never want to sit right beside him in the fastcraft or what. and yes, he is my section mate, so i can't get far far away frm him, but still, i will stay away! not only i am pissed, but some others whom i talked to are also. our conversation went racist. and yes, i admit i am racist. tat guy i am talking of above is of tat race, and in my life, quite a few person of tat race have pissed off a lot. not tat i wanna be, but i just can't help it. those who know me well enough should know what race. i wun't say here, least it spark off a racial riot or what shit stuff. (i doubt it will anyway).

tat's life in army. heard this week gonna be busy liao. very little admin time alreadly. just survive though this and i gonna leave tat place! i can't wait for tat day!
