Dying...

Have you notice this trend?

Yup, I really wonder how long more i can sustain.. *fingers crossed*

It is National Day eve now, at this moment. I guess by the time Im done with this post the clock would've striked 12 and Singapore would've turned 45. 45 years, not a long time but not short either. Just half a year in NS and I've experience so many things, so much more than my whole life combined. 45 years and Singapore changed from brown to multi colored; from singlet to CK shirt; from street stall to Raffles Hotel.

I've started to collect movie tickets, the part that you get to keep. I've always wanted to collect it but I can't seem to store it without losing it. Today I finally got blutack (or white) and stuck the few tickets i have onto my cupboard. I hope to fill my whole door with it! WhooOoOo~

If i survive this coming week, i'll post again.

RandOM: 3D2N Field camp!~

And life goes on...

I was standing at Joo Koon mrt, waiting for a friend so that we can walk back to camp together. There were many like me, easily identified by their green section commander bag and kiwi brush hairstyle in civilian attire. There were also those in penguin suit - White long sleve top, back long pants and leather shoes. Looking at the golden badges there were wearing on their right collar, I knew for sure they are the 'elites' of the SAF - OCTs - or maybe 'elite-to-be'.

Its really depressing for them im sure. They just got let out of camp approximately 36 hours ago after 3 weeks of confinement and now they are heading back to camp. Some call it hell, but it'll be their home for the next 3 months at the very least.

Just across the bridge from hell, lies heaven. Its not that there are angle halos or gods there, but relative to whats across the bridge its much peaceful here. Much much much more peaceful. That is where I reside. Strangely, even though its a known fact that life across the bridge is much more demanding, many here wants to cross it. To transcend from heaven to hell. They say those that survive hell become gods of their own world. Which is better? Heaven or Hell?

Sorry guys, I haven't updated this blog for a long time. Honestly, its not because i have no time. I have a laptop in camp and I can use it almost every night. There are just too many things happening that I don't know what to blog about. Well, in short, I got GOLD for IPPT, tried tear gas, know how to move about in jungle.. I guess thats it. Hopefully i'll update more.

Testing, testing 1,2,3..

Hey! So I haven't blogged for awhile. Well, its not that there isnt anything to talk about but Im getting lazy...

Okay, so as everyone should know by now, im posted to SCS a.k.a. SISPEC. Life here is much much much MUCH more easier than life in BMT. There are 2 hours lunch breaks, 4 hour admin times, freeflow of fruits, time for afternoon nap... So if anyone of you is any bit worried about me, please put your mind at ease. At least for now.. Until the step up the tempo (:

Right there i'd like to ask Andrew please text me or leave a comment when you see this. If you see this it means this would be one of the ways I can keep in contact with you since I HAVE INTERNET ACCESS HERE! And i look forward to seeing you soon (:

For the other people, i've got some brain stuff i'll be posting when im more free. I need to shower now (:

Too much to think about nothing to do..

This blogpost title is part of the lyrics of a song written by Dave Days, some random youtuber. Before you start reading this post here is a warning.

WARNING!

Emo post ahead. Read at your own risk.
Parental Guidance advised.

Ok, it sucks when it seems like you've got time but actually you don't. Just like block leave. It seems like you've got 1 week break but this 1 week is not enough to get anything done. Everything you try to do you've got to complete it within the 1 week. Its like some deadline or something. Feels like someone telling you "Okay, for the next 2 weeks you can make anything possible(magic or something). After that you're going to hell". Sigh..

Oh, before I forget, by popular demand:

So last sunday i met up with sean. Sean is a random dude i met in World of Warcraft 4 years back. Sunday was the first time i met him. Honestly, I expected him to be fat and green. Too bad he isn't ):

So here it is Sean! Your post.

Posting:

So yesterday I got my posting result. Im going to SCS aka SISPEC. Honestly im quite upset. I've prep myself into thinking that OCS training is managable and 40 weeks would past quickly just so that if i get posted there at least mentally im ready. Well, i didnt get there. I wanted to join OCS so that I can impact my recruits next time. I guess no matter how significant or insignificant you are, you can still make a difference. I guess... or hope.

Im feeling super down now. They say its because im booking in on monday. Maybe.. Oh, and a random thought. People say you should accept yourself as who you are yet people constantly try to improve themselves. Is that a contridiction? I dunno.

RandOM: I NEED TO BE MORE HONEST WITH MYSELF!

Some day..

You know what? There are times where my life is so boring and I have nothing to blog about. There are also times where my brain juice starts to flow and I have many many things to say. Today, the juice is working!


WORST POP EVER!

Seriously, I don't think my pop could get any worst. We woke up at 3am Friday morning for area inspection. I practically jumped off my bed because I thought I was late. I feel like i didn't sleep at all and my head is light and floating..

Next we embarked on our 24km road march. This 24km RM wasn't that bad because I was packed with food. On top of that I threw away many packs of item AND OC allowed music after 16km. Thanks Joseph for the speaker and ipod (:

Here comes the best part. 10 minutes after we completed our 24km RM, it started to pour, so we had to grab our FBO and run another 500m to some shelter. We waited there drenched and cold until 1545hrs before they confirmed that it will be wet weather programme. Wet weather programme means that the parade that we spent over 15 hours preparing, all our effort washed away by the rain. Not that it matters to me but I've got friends who were really excited to have their mum put on their caps for them. Anyway, we waited for about 45minutes for the truck to come and pick us up but it never arrived so we had to run another 500m to the parade square. Thats 1630hrs when we reached. Oh, and just FYI the parade is suppose to start at 1600hrs.

At the parade square, we found out form up area filled with parents. Sigh.. in the end they just placed my whole company behind every company. Oh, for other companies there were also some shuffle of their positions so all the parents couldn't find their own son. Superb planning.

So the wet weather parade lasted about 15 minutes and we did the BMTC RAWR, threw out jocky caps and went home. Effectively, all parents wasted at least 2 hour travelling just to wait another hour for the 15minute parade, than queue another hour for the ferry and another hour of travelling home. Most memorable POP.


UNIVERSAL STUDIO SINGAPORE

Saturday, the day after POP, I went to USS with clarence and his family. It was good fun with loads of shows, photos, rides and food. I do feel a little guilty for this whole trip since clarence's family paid everything for me and even offered to give me money to spend! Here are some photos they bought for me:

You can see a close up of my epic scared face while im on one of the rides:

Alright, got to go for breakfast now.

RanDOM: Some day is just a nicer way of saying never.

Brilliant Night!

The night sky is brilliant! Its not a starry starry night but a cloudy one with one big hell of a moon surrounded by a rainbow. Nice!

Just came back from SJI Renaissance XVIII concert. It was a spectacular performance put up by the SJI Military Band. All the memories of SJI gushing back into me when the school rally was played and the Josephian pride re-ignited along with Hail SJI. $15 was worth it for me but not sure if it was for ZH, but anyhow thanks ZH for spending your night with me.

Guess what people.. I have enlisted for 9 weeks. The coming Friday I am going to pass out from BMT! Im not sure what I am excited about since its passing from one hell hole to another - and perhaps into a bigger one - but I guess at least something is happening. On top of that, I get 1 week block leave after POP (:

To me, BMT was awesome. It sucked when you are going through the tough times, meeting ridiculous timing doing superman physical training and out of the world punishments but now that everything is over and you look back, it was actually a blast. I guess the best memories are the toughest moments in life.

Days ahead are gloomy. I have another 20 months of NS to serve and the next phase is going to be the worst i'll ever have in life, be it unit, SCS or OCS. Unit would be repetition for 20 months, SCS would be 5 months of even tougher training with 32km road march and 2 months worth of outfield. For OCS, it'll be 9 months of extreme hardship with little civilian time and close to 4 months of outfield , not forgetting super duper uber imba training. It really sucks but im sure it'll be like my BMT days - you feel like crying when you're in it and feel like crying when you're out.

There are many many people i want to extend my appreciation to. They helped me pull through my BMT days and made it awesome.

Finally..

New post!

Don't worry! This blog won't close down so soon. If it ever is going down I'll be sure to let all of you know. There were not updates for soooo longgg because I really didn't have the ability to do it. I've just been through field camp(6D5N) + Misfiring + 100m Range + 5 days SOL (for misfiring) + <24 hours bookout + 12km RM + SITEST(3D2N) + 16km RM. Finally, i get to rest now and i can update you guys (:

Im quite happy for this blog. I know there are people checking it regularly because someone actually texted me and complained that i didn't update my blog. Thanks guys for supporting this nonsense of mine.

2 more weeks and POP-LOH! Not really looking forward to it. POP marks the end of bmt and the begining of even more hardship. Sigh, this 2 years is gonna be tough!

Oh, by the way Toys Story 3 is a MUST WATCH movie. I've never felt my 2 hours past by so fast. It is super entertaining, packed with action and spiced with some touching scenes. Good movie, though its not worth to watch in 3D still.
