another week.

another week have passed in camp. 7 weeks into army life. 19 weeks more to POP. still a long long way to go. shouldn't think too much about tat. looking on the good side. i lost 10 kg alreadly! going to go below the 100 mark. Hope i can achieve tat before CNY, but will surely put back after CNY. just went new yr shopping with mum today. this yr only buy a bit of stuff. cannot whack too much during CNY. I realise having to control what you eat everyday is a torture. this one cannot eat, tat one cannot eat. what's the point of living?? 'neng chi shi fu'

this week si bei sian. kena guard duty. for regimentation one. not kena punishment one. hope no more guard duty for me( dun do anything stupid). guard duty is not totally not fun! firstly, i was doing sentry, which means holding the stupid shield and baton, then standing at the ferry terminal. the 8-10 shift was still ok, got ppl walking, then got officers to greet. not tat sian. the 2-4 am shift sucks! totally nothing to do. just leaning against the wall or walking up and down the terminal, looking at fish jumping abt in water, looking at planes taking off frm changi. totally sian! next is the guard room. Looks like shit! the bed are all so old that they creak when u lie on it. then 2 out of 5 fan is spoilt. makes the room hot and stuffy! the pillow is also in a super bad condition. and sleeping in boots is super uncomfortable! didn't sleep much the whole nite, and still had activity the next day. it's a miracle i still survived the day feeling rather fresh throughout!

my cough came back again. been coughing like hell. dunno if it is the so called tekong cough, or if it is caused by my sinusitis problem. couldn't sleep well the whole nite. woke up in the middle of nite, then cough cough cough for quite some time before going back to sleep. then during PT, coughing makes me feel worse also. dun wanna go report sick liao. getting the att b status is super sian. either sit down at training shed doing nothing or do 'sai gang' (shit work). if report sick, might as well get att c!

and damm it! bought another CD again. now got own pay liao. got tat 'i'm richer' thought. couldn't control myself and went to bought jay chou live CD. could say i bought the CD mainly cause the disc contains most of his hits song. and another reason is tat he sang 'dao dai', which was originally sung by jolin. but i think his version is dammm good! he shld have kept tat song for his own! couldn't find david tao new album at imm, so didn't buy tat. or shld i make a trip to chinatown again? and now i realise that the china import CD are flooding neighbourhood. saw them selling at Bukit batok, then also at IMM. but it is priced at $9.90, a little more ex than the usual $7 at chinatown. dunno if daivd tao one is alreadly released in china and imported into sg. argh!!!! if this goes on, my pay gonna be gone in no time!

sucks!

I have been too lazy to update. It has been damm tiring, although my training have not gone into the 'xiong' phase. The short weekend home is indeed sucky. book out on sat, book in on sun. haven warm the sofa at home then have to go back camp liao.

some updates on camp life. last week. wah piang! super happening in my company. apparently, some kuku went to complaint that ppl were smoking in the toilet. then platoon 2 ppl own up. kena fucked upside down by OC and CSM. then dunno how also, platoon 3 ppl (my platoon) also admitted to smoking in toilet. then they all kena fucked again. first time hear OC scream so loud. then in the end the whole company kena fucked. all kena spot check. the sgts came to check our cupboard individually. then they also check handphone. wah lan eh. they check the call record to see if u got use phone during office hrs and after lights out. lots of ppl kena for tat sia! luckily i neve kena. but i have nothing to be afraid of also. i abide by the rules. i am a guai soldier. haha!

then this week is super suay. sick the whole week sia! monday morning wake up keep running to the toilet. went to see MO. diarrhoea. take medicine, felt much better. then on att B. sit down there doing nothing. tue also att B. so didn't take part in exercise. only got take part in the rifle cleaning lesson. no matter how u clean the rifle still dirty one. then at night, sibei suay! kena fever again! went up to 38.5. went to see MO immediately. I was hoping to get att c also, so tat i can rest properly at home. indeed, got att c and took the 10pm fastcraft back. but have to go back to camp on wed nite, then book out on thu morn. i was like WTF! so i just went to see outside doctor to get another day MC. so i am getting a ultra long weekend. but most of the time was spent in bed anyway. feeling 'gong gong' most of the time. plus my throat is inflammed, can't even eat properly. It was simply torture sia! Luckily by yest afternoon, i got much better.

went to chinatown with my parents yest nite. dunno why, this yr like no mood for new yr. got to do with army i guess. just walk around there, buying some new yr stuff and clothes. and damm, despite losing some weight, my body size seems to still remain the same leh. sianz. still hard to buy clothes. found a shirt tat is nice n cheap, but i need to lose abt 2 inches off my tummy before it cld fit nicely. nvm! i will work hard. the only 'gain' yest nite was the china imported cd i bought. as usual, every trip down there will confirm buy some CD. bought jacky live performance CD. it was gd!!!! strongly recommended. lee hom new album just sucked!

Sianz. the short break is going to come to an end. 2 full week before CNY. think will also go camp and 'zoh boh' one loh. army life sucks ! hope i cld get a posting where i can stay out. at least a few hrs at home of gd quality rest will keep me sane for 2 yrs!

sick

i am back at this odd hour when i shld be in camp. Not on AWOL. just that i am down with fever for the past few days. on wed morning, i was freezing in bed and then went to report sick. saw the MO, which was a better MO this time roundm, who took time to examine me and tell me about the medicine as i was allegic to paracetamol, which is the common medicine for fever. got 2 days att c. so get to go home. took the 12 o'clock fastcraft back. all the while, i was so blur. partly because i was a bit 'gong' frm the fever, and also i dunno wat to do. got another guy att c also, so i sort of followed him lah. he show the RP the status slip, then i did so also. while waiting for the ferry, i met moses, also on att c. then we reached SFT, all blur. can we just walk out? then we just walk out and catch a bus to pasir ris. then fever did not subside, went to see doctor again. temp went up to 38. got another 2 day MC. which means i only need to book in on sun. a much needed rest. getting a good sleep.

talking abt a gd nite sleep, in camp, haven been able to get a good sleep. lights out at 2230, but some idiot in the bunk decide to talk at the top of their voice till dunno wat time. being a light sleeper, of course i cannot sleep until they sleep loh. that's not all. in the morning, before 5 o clock. some kuku alarm clock began to ring. then at the first ring i wake up liao. for some, they turn off their alarm clock almost immediately and then went back to sleep again. i of course just shut my eyes for a while or stare at the celling until it is time for me to wake up. then there will be this super irritating alarm clock. the beeping is super irritating and yet the owner can sleep like a pig and dun bother about it. and i am always the one to go turn it off. super irritating!! i mean what's the point of setting the alarm clock so fucking early when u dun even wake up?? i cld have gotten a few more minutes of precious sleep. so in camp, i was looking like a zombie most of the time. so weekend are spent catching up on sleep, but somehow that seems like a waste of my precious weekend. so many things i want to do. catch up on all the news and things i missed during the week. army life really sucks! can't wait for the 2 yrs to pass quickly, or at least until june, then i can F off frm the island.

my mum told me i have turned more vulgar nowadays. thinking abt it, it is quite true. i realise i have been using more of 'zee bai' these days. no surprise of course. being exposed to vulgarities inside camp. speaking to other ppl in such tone. i better start controlling myself. it ain't nice to use such words, esp in front of girls.

tmr no one to go out with me. most of my frens are going in these few days and thus got confinment. yz going in tmr. and today dunno what happen to him also lah. msg him never reply. pre enlistment depression?? think everyone will suffer frm that. still considering whether to go for the NTU talk. been interested to take a look at the aerospace engineering course. tmr then decide lah.

a new year.

the first day of a new year. It was freezing cold the whole day. Have been raining almost non stop since last night. was shivering the whole day. lazed around in the warmth of my bed until almost noon. had to don a jacket the whole day. just cold cold cold.

I welcomed the new yr with my pri sch mates. online of course. no one wld believe it loh. we are still so close 6 yrs after our graduation. oh man, i miss them so much. i miss the carefree days in pri sch. now, stuck in army for 2 yrs. now only about one month has passed. still got a long long way to go. hope i ain't gonna get some shitty vocation after BMT. preferely posted to a camp near hse (not tekong), then can book out everyday. just like going to sch like tat. i want my life after work.

I am still trying to curb my CD buying spree. esp now cannot download songs liao. keep telling myself. cannot buy. cannot buy. think next week going down to chinatown again to check whether new stock have arrived. thinking of getting Celest Chong new album. now SHE 'wo ai ni' is on repeat mode on my player. Love this song so so so much. saw the MTV just now on tv. it is so sad. the power of love. how nice wld it be to fall in love. Oh man, i wanna fall in love! ok. enough crap. stop dreaming.

Have to go back camp tmr. Next week new recruits coming in liao. hopefully cookhse food wld become much better. and it better not be this cold there. dun rain rain rain everyday. rain a bit can lah, but not the whole day. if not wld be freezing down there.
