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!

huang cheng

just came back from huang cheng. my first time actually watching. wanted to go in previous yr but can't get tickets. are the tickets really sold out tat fast?? went with kunying, lee ching n peishan. kunying was wearing this cap and he sure looked like an artist. peishan changed a lot too. got long hair. almost can't recognise her. not only me, when other ppl saw her, they also say the same thing. haven seen these guys for a very long time liao. quite fun chatting and catching up with them.

huang cheng was like a super big production. the props were really elaborate and really, lots of work is being put into it. out of the 3 skits, i enjoyed the last one the best. one thing was because it was funny. a lot of comical features added into it. it is talking abt how new things and trade are slowly replacing the old ones, but what it can't replace is the spirit or the smell (wei dao) as they called it. but the scene is so comical, still got mother giving birth. the 2nd one was also nice, but too much quarreling. the first one was just not there. can't really get what it is trying to tell. but overall gd work i wld say.

starting to feel sian now. going back to camp tmr. back to all the training. see, time really flies. next time i really sit down and think back, think it wld be the block leave after pop. argh!! i am so so so loooking forward to tat. and hopefully i get a slack vocation. talked with kunying abt driving lesson and it sounds quite fun. probably i wld go learn if i get a 8 to 5 vocation. he said it wld cost 1k plus and i guess i got to dig into my savings, or wld be better if my mum is willing to sponser it. she once said tat. well, wait until 3 months later than see lah.

and oh ya. uploaded the song tong hua by guang liang. i really really like this song. dunno how to say why i like it, but it is like the feeling is there. thinking of buying his album liao. china import of course. and also ah sang new album. shall see how it goes. was reading abt desperate housewives on 8 days just now. i managed to catch one episode on mon and damm, it was hot!! are housewives tat beautiful?? not like the auntie or huang lian po we see in singapore?? haha. the plot is kind of interesting also. someone having scandal then, the mother in law found out and got hit down by a car, which is driven by another neighbour son. interesting.... too bad cannot watch anymore. hope a vcd version wld come out later.

hiaz. pre book in depression setting in again. gd thing is it is gonna be a short week.

ending

I woke up surprisingly early today. even i was amazed at the time i woke up. perhaps it is the fact that block leave is ending and i have to be stuck in camp most of the time again. by sleeping less, i guess i have more time to do some stuff of my own.

been downloading music again. not using p2p thingy. they got lots of virus looting around. using the dumbass baidu website. so many broken links. but the gd thing is tat some rather old song can be found on that site. just have to bear with it cause there ain't any other thing that i know of. talking abt dumbass site, another wld be the IRAS website. while helping my parent fill in their income tax, i filled up everything then click on verify, the whole site helped me log out instead and i have to fill it up again. dumb! plus the new format got lots of link and i think the server is rather clogged up and loading of some pages takes donkey yrs!! tat's the bad abt using the internet to do stuff, ie eservices. though very convenient, but when things cock up, it can make one super frustrated, or make one paranoid or whatever, esp when he or she is an computer idiot. like the recent moe thingy, ppl were complaining like xiao.

seems like recently i have been rather interested in jap stuff. watched a few animae these few days, including the hit movie spirited away. yah shld be tat title. what was gd was tat the movie was very captivating right from the start. i was like hooked onto the screen for 2 whole hrs. although at the end i might have a feeling tat the story is rather crap, but i enjoyed the whole movie. even mum was hooked onto it somehow. and the next wld be memoirs of a geisha. i feel sad at knowing how girls are being sold into the trade. the story is also captivating, i was reading on an on and on... now i am thinking after my BMT, shld i take up japanese??

i dun want to think abt the coming sunday. it's back to tekong again. but the gd thing is 10 more weeks and i am done. with BMT only. hope to get a gd posting and hopefully enjoy the remaining 1.5 yrs. most of my frens got posting liao. some gd, some bad. depends on how one see it.

block leave

I am so lazy. This entry should have come days eariler. but i just didn't bother then.

now is block leave week, which leaves me with 10 more weeks of BMT training before i can FO from that place and hopefully dun go back there ever again. Just before the block leave, the whole week was simply crap! mon and wed was so called logistic day, dunno what the instructors or rather commanders had to do on tat day. so what we did was just to sleep in bunk the whole day. go for lunch then come back sleep again, except for the occasional heads out crap. then the other days were doing sai gang day. on tue when the enhanced ppl pop, have to go do sai gang, which was a really dumb job. To keep dogs from entering the parade square. throughout the whole event, we didn't even see a single dog. i was paired up with Alnsley and i was digging a hole while he sharpening a tree branch, just in case a dog comes by and we can stab it to death! on thu and fri, it was enlistment day, again, eagle coy got sai gang to do. this time round, i didn't kena much sai gang, except moving some display board and foxtrot CSM rewarded us with 5 pack of the goodie bag the visitors got. i mean each person getting 5. bookout then followed and i was so happy. getting out of tat place for one whole week!

enough of army life. back to school!! not to study though. went to the nus open day with yz. chiobu galore. all the way from clementi bus interchange to the 2 girls who brought us around the arts n social sci fac. i guess i more or less decided on geography. as for 2nd choice, i wld be putting real estate. maybe sociology comes in 3rd. but studying sociology seems like so GP. after walking around the FASS, we went to the faculty of medicine. it was like practically dead there. no much ppl around, then the guides there were like so duh. i thought there wld be a visit around the fac and maybe i cld see the labs with some funky bloody gory things, or the lab where they practice their surgery skill, ie on dead bodies ( i heard) and so on. but there was simply nothing. not sure if we missed the timing or wat. guess i will never have the chance to see those things. decided to eat at NUH food junction before going down to suntec city for the IT fair. pia down there in a cab. the fair was freaking crowded and one wld have so much difficulty walking round the exhibition. basically, i didn't see much things lah. was looking out for a dvd writer but the prices were still too high for my budget. chanced upon a minolta digital camp at 399. quite a gd deal, but money doesn't part from me tat easily. went home and considered this, consider tat, decided tat having a cam now wld be rather useless, except during POP, then it wld be rotting in my cupboard. so a saturday was spent like this. and what a sat i enjoyed, without having to think abt sun, where normally i have to book in.

then on to monday. decided to go to the guan yin temple with mum. was thinking of going to pray during CNY, but it was too crowded then. as usual, the temple was crowded, but unlike other temple, it doesn't have tat much incense fumes there. what was worth complaining was the weather. it was so freaking hot tat i drank 2 bottles of mineral water at one go after the visit. like having water parade. walked around bugis area, went to the bugis market to buy some t shirt. now much easier to buy clothes liao. L size tee can fit me. then gd loh. and also lah, the place is like a giant oven. freaking hot!!!!! went to kino and bought memoirs of a geisha. i finished chapter 1 and it was interesting, for it was the first time i read a book about somebody. it was from the geisha called sayuri perspective, but yet it was written by another guy. interesting. so far, i thought it was a gd one. and btw, the bourne supremacy was ulter crap, esp the ending. in fact, i just scanned through the last few pages before proceeding onto my new book.

yeah. finally can have late nights and wake up late. maybe go for a swim again tmr. just went for one today and the number of kids in the pool can make u go crazy. many of them were having swimming lessons and they were swimming along the breadth of the pool. it is like crossing a road with heavy traffic. funny tat cck pool doesn't have a swimming pool of like 1 m height for children learning swimming. saw a few kids were struggling at the edge of the pool and it was like 1.2 m deep. luckily by late afternoon, the pool became more empty and was much easier to swim. seriously need to exercise, for the past few days have been eating like nobody business. what i thought it true, once i pop, i can't stop. in camp, without food, i wldn't think much of eating, but now at home, oncei got nothing to do, i wld head off to the kitchen. but i think tmr there wld be not much to munch on, as the kitchen have been cleared by me. now my weight is abt 100 and i wanna push it down to 2 digit during this week. have to work hard!

ok enough crap. it's late.

results out..

haven updated for a long time. 2 weeks only lah. the same thing lah, the same old usual stuff in camp. been feeling so damm bored. but now looking back, hey, i have survived 12 weeks in bmt. one more week and i wld get my block leave, then 12 more weeks then FO from tekong. frm what i learnt, FO got 2 meaning lah. one is to fall out. another is to F*ck off. sometimes, it doesn't matter.

at least last week we got something new. there is recruits nite. not really a night for eagle coy, but we still went down there to watch the performance. think bravo performance the best loh, but they didn't get champion. then the performance by MDC. hot babes dressed in sexy dress! just that the guys in the performance outnumber the girls lah. but wat to do? saf wat..... then got games day. it is stupid tat CO want us to go there and watch the game, but our coy only took part in 2 games. cause we are not going to POP. the tug of war is so 'lau kui' loh. we lost in just 5 seconds to gryphon. but it cld be due to the weight limit wat. they have 10 ppl, we only got 8. surely at disadvantage. and the tug of war is one where everyone is seated on the floor, so weight doesn't really matter....

then today the A LEVEL RESULTS!!!!! didn't feel tat much stress as last time when i got my o levels results. perhaps being in camp kept my mind away from the results thingy. did not bad. got A for maths and phy, C for econs and B3 for GP. econs is expected to be tat screwed lah, so i am satisfied alreadly. even passed my expectation of ABC. then get B3 for GP, dun need to take what english module in uni. heard frm Mr Goh that one has to take the module until he scores an A grade. luckily dun have to go through those shit. reminds me of taking CLAO when other ppl are slacking away somewhere in sch. now tat results are out, i am much more decisive on what to do in uni. think most likely i wld choose to do geography. geog has always been an interest to me and i think tat wld be the best lah. somemore heard tat arts fac much easier to get in, so with my grades, i am hoping that i can get in lah. as for my 2nd choice and after, haven really thought about it. what if really suay suay (touchwood) i cannot get in geog, still have to study something i do not hate wat... whatever... wait until my block leave then i settle all these shit. back to results lah, my whole class did freaking well! almost everyone got 4 As. those ppl in front of me was like AAAAA all the way, then when it come to me, then out comes a C. aiya, whatever..... now tat results are out. can finally lift a load off my chest. so now just serve for another 1 yr 9 mths and then back to study....
