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.....
