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!!!

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!
