check out the filling OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG


my grandma just came over with popiah!

omg you know its like after weeks of being in camp its orgasmic to taste home-made popiah again. unlike those sold outside, the one my grandma made is MUCH MORE NICER. plus, i get to add extra ingredients =D

History of popiah:

The popiah is of southeastern Chinese origins, originating in the Fujian province. It is derived from the spring roll which was eaten during spring when there was an abundance of vegetables. The Chinese diaspora has spawned variants of the roll throughout Asia, intermingling ingredients from the local culture resulting in such likes as the Nonya version of the popiah.

i think the one i ate is the nonya version. i think.

sometimes, i still can't get really used to SISPEC man.

okay, the most screwed up thing about my company, Juilet, is of course, the funny name. i mean, you're supposed to sound maybe fierce in the army.. so when people ask for your company and they go..

ECHO COMPANY!

ALPHA COMPANY!

juilet company........................... -_-


yes, SISPEC is definitely different from life as a recruit in BMTC. most significant difference is that we can book-in and out in our civilian clothing and bags. so there's no need to wear our no.4 uniform, polish our boots nicely and carry that bulky field pack.

they're not treating us like recruits anymore, not fucking us upside down, treating us like dogs and barking at us constantly like in BMTC. in fact now most of us have appointments that require some degree (usually not very big la) of responsibility.

and of course, like in a real army, every section has its own "specialist", for example a SAW gunner, a M203 gunner.

yup. i was appointed the M203 gunner. -_- shucks. beats being the SAW gunner though heh heh... that gotta suck.

so this morning.. a very interesting scenario unfolded.

we woke up, washed up, and prepared to go down fall in when my sergeant yelled for everyone to fall in.

Sgt: OI JUILET COMPANY! NOW WHAT TIME ALREADY! FALL IN NOW!

*everyone scuttles around, rushes downstairs, those already downstairs were yelling for the rest to come down.

*everyone falls in now.

OKAY, LOOK AT THE TIME NOW. ITS 05 50. FALL IN SHOULD BE 05 45. LATE 5MINS RIGHT? NEVER MIND, I SHALL PUNISH THE ICs FIRST. WHOLE LOT KNOCK IT DOWN!

*the ICs (i.e the trainees that are appointed as the ICs) go into pumping position, us too.

DOWN! DOWN! DOWN!

*the ICs did 5 pumpings.

OKAY EVERYONE, DOWN! DOWN! DOWN!

*the rest of us did another 5.

WHOLE LOT RECOVER! FASTER, FALL IN INTO YOUR PLATOON LEVEL AND WE CAN START THE DAY!

all the while my sgt was like talking in a normal manner and not really screaming at us. damn LOL la, if this was in BMTC i think it'll be like this....

a typical morning in Jaguar...


OI JAGUAR COMPANY! WHAT TIME ALREADY! BETTER GET DOWN THIS INSTANCE! I GIVE YOU ALL 1, NO, 45 SECONDS TO COME DOWN NOW! *mutters cheebye*

*everyone dashes down immediately. those who were already downstairs were in pumping positions. everyone gets into pumping positions.

OKAY JAGUAR. YOU GUYS THINK YOU BIG FUCK ALREADY RIGHT? 3 MORE WEEKS TO POP BIG FUCK AH? CAN FALL IN LATE AH? NVM, ALL DOWN! DOWN! DOWN! DOWN! DOWN!

*everyone lan lan, did push-ups

NEVER MIND, ALL DON'T WANT SHOUT OUT TIMINGS RIGHT? START FROM ZERO! DOWN! DOWN!

*more lan lan, re-do again.

FUCKING HELL, CANNOT DO TOGETHER IS IT? WHOLE LOT CRUNCHES POSITIONS, CHANGE! *mutters cheebye*

*changes to crunches

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS! SLOPPY MOVEMENT! YOU ALL DON'T FUCKING MOVE YOUR BUTT RIGHT? SIMPLE, WHOLE LOT PUMPING POSITIONS

*everyone changes double time

DOWN! DOWN! NEVER MIND CRUNCHES POSITION CHANGE!

by this time i can imagine the sergeant's face, damn pissed off and angry LOL. its normal la, they just fuck us upside down.

man. those days in Jaguar. training with my platoon. the good people from platoon1. i miss those days already. HAHA. well, gotta move on, and learn more.

okay. a week has passed. so far, i'm just getting to know my bunkmates hopefully won't kena the ASLC course. lol.

7 more weeks and we'll be through!

tml i'm booking in.

to a new camp. its weird cuz i've enjoyed 10 days of utmost freedom, wearing whatever i want, going wherever i want, waking up whenever i want, doing whatever i want.

and the hot shower! one of the must-have household appliance omg that i'm gonna miss.

what have i done during the last 10 days. hmm. i've hung out with my mom and sis. i bought a new polo tee from river island. i went to sentosa. twice. yes thats pretty stupid don't ask me why. i went to visit my little cousin who just came back from hongkong. i went to give thanks at a temple.

most importantly. i slept alot. haha.

yup, 10 days of freedom. its all we've got. its not much, but we cannot ask for more. screwed thing is, we're just getting used to our freedom then we've to report to our new unit again. haha.

well its gonna be trainings after trainings now, only more intensive and our commanders are not like the ones in Tekong.

yes the blog post is getting boring. oh how my life is turning boring too. gahhh.

i'm posted to SISPEC. school of infantry specialist.

or rather, suffer in silence plus extra confinement?

well. its gonna be 8 weeks in camp now...

BUT LUCKILY ITS DAMN NEAR MY HOUSE. no more 2,3 hours of travelling like my BMT days. all the way from the west to the east.

haha my buddy, who lives in chai chee, kena OCS which is officer cadet school, has to travel all the way to the west. HA.

WHO GETS THE LAST LAUGH NOW. sucker. ahahahaaha.

oh well, army is starting for me all over again. after 8 days of rest. have to report back to the new camp this monday. wonder how SISPEC life is gonna be like. not easy. and have to make new frens, train with them, stuffs like that.

least i'm not a recruit now =D

erm, yeah so its been about 15 years in the making of their new album Chinese Democracy. what's so good about it? no doubt i'm quite a fan of them (them refers to when Axl Izzy Slash Duff Steven were still in the fucking band) but now only Axl is left in the band. rofl man, i actually start listening to them when they broke up, i'm ashamed.

so click on the banner above to listen to their songs online! its still good. but i still like the old one haha.


this dude cracked me up man.



he wasn't that bad in this video though.. BUT his turbo apparently kicks in at around 2:40... just like how you revv your Honda Civic and at like 5,500 rpm you feel a SURGE and the car just rockets forward. 2:40 is GODLIKE.



this shit lagi funny:



wow look at the time now. its 12.52 on my clock. at this time i'll be going for lunch at the cookhouse with my buddies.. haha. yes, suddenly i'm back in civilian life, no more regimental stuffs and marching. though it feels awesome i still feel abit sad as those days are all over. days of being a recruit with everyone. pretty soon its phase 2 of national service when i report to my new unit. haha.

please don't throw me into Guards dear CMPB officers. =/

POP.......... LO!

haha, so its all over now.

at least, for the next 9 days. heh.

I'VE PASSED OUT FROM BASIC MILITARY TRAINING CENTRE!

no doubt, everyone was in high spirits that day. even though our field pack was weighing like a ton and the sun was pretty unfriendly towards us, most of us endured through the parade.

before our passing out parade we had our 24km route march. it is a MUST for everyone to complete the 24km route march as part of our graduating parade.

life's a bitch you know. cuz we booked in on monday night, then tuesday morning we woke up, prepare this and that, clean our bunk, clean everywhere, so that when the new enlistees come they'll have a NICE AND CLEAN bunk to sleep in. so much so that we only took a short nap in the afternoon and after dinner. about 2hours in all?

before we know it, tuesday night arrived. 10 50pm, or 2250.

we set off for our 24km route march. with almost everything in our field pack. cuz we still have to bring in some stuffs when we booked in, hence our field pack weighs even more heavier than before.

how far is 24km? hmm. i'm not very sure, but maybe its the distance you walk along east coast park. from one end to the other end. and thats only 12km. so, you'll have to walk 2 times!

fun right?

so we all marched overnight, only reaching back our camp at around daylight. its so good to see the sun and light. the whole night 80% of the time we were marching blindly in the dark. the moonlight was there, but not very strong as it was cloudy.

SO. WE MADE IT. JAGUAR COMPANY PLATOON 1 MADE IT.

hahhahahahahhaaha.

these 13 weeks of my life have been, well, good. not exactly wonderful nor terrible. i have wonderful section mates. even though we've known one another for only 13 weeks, i must say we bond together real well. throughout each training we endured together, throughout every punishment we ride it out together. our platoon didn't fare that bad also.

from Jaguar Company, Platoon 1, Section 3, 04/08, the good people:

Bed 1: Me.
Bed 2: Jitinder Singh.

my buddy. bed buddy, toilet buddy, shower buddy, actually almost anything/everything buddy. i'm such an asshole for always making racist jokes and comments about you (everyone else does the same too HAHAHAH!) but this Singh here, he's DA MAN. don't worry, he'll retort with a FUCK YOU LAH whenever you say something racist.

Bed 3: Gifford Yeo (always the last to fall in from our section!!!)

Bed 4: Joel Lim (lol everytime after draw arms like to play CS in our bunk)

Bed 5: Andy Lim (2nd FALL OUT BOY lmao. Yue Aida fan!)

Bed 6: Andy Low (likes to Save the Earth by smoking in toilets to get rid of the shit smell)

Bed 7: Mok Qi Jun (always grabbing people's asses)

Bed 8: Lam Wei Cong (shower king. mention shower, and he'll made a mad dash for the toilet)

Bed 9: Denny Yak (hehe traitor of Jaguar LMAO)

Bed 10: Darren Teo (stop playing with your DS and watch more porn!)

Bed 11: CJ Tan (his magical sponges and clothes makes area cleaning easier)

Bed 12: Kenny Tung (aiseh, my other buddy that does as much cock-talking as Jit ahhahaah)


over the past 13 weeks or so i've learn alot alot of stuffs. other than military skills, of course. no doubt we'll learn to treasure our civilian life from now on, as during our stay-in there were many things we cannot do, and deprived of. simple example: we do not have access to computers there.

computers have became such a integral part of my life that without computers... it just seem weird. and many minor stuffs like, chargers for PSP and phones, television, radio (luckily my fren brought in battery-operated ones), hot showers. stuffs like that.

things aside, i also saw the ugly side of some people in the world. that don't bother to help other people when they need help. some people can't be bothered with anything either. they just wanna protect their asses, and don't really give two-fucks about whether you're dead or not. but thankfully most people i met and know inside there are not that way..

so its true you see alot and learn alot in army. initially i wasn't very happy with army, although i don't have a choice, but then as time goes by, as we got to know one another more, its not that hard to go by.

and at the end of these 13 weeks, i've lost nothing. but gained plentiful of stuffs. friendship. PR skills. leadership skills (aiya, its true you'll learn abit here and there!). better stamina. better endurance. more muscles (no, i don't look muscular now.). and of course... many many, tons of army stories and lame stuffs.

very soon, i'm about to post to another unit to start the next phase of my NS life. BMTC has been very kind to me, Jaguar company has been very kind to me. its a very good company. the commanders (or at least the bulk of them) seriously are very good.

i'll miss BMTC. LOL.

no, i do not miss the pumpings and punishments i've gained there (especially in field camp.).

let's see. some of the major events...

Field camp. worst 6 days of my life ever.
SIT Test. rather fun.
Live Range. where you take a live round, a rifle, and start firing away.
Grenade Course. need i say more?

still, there're others but i'm not gonna say. the memories will stay with me. all the good people!

once again....

wow 20days without blogging. yes, army life is so interesting and meaningful that i've actually no time to blog!

truth is, i've got nothing much to blog.

other than the major events, which are live firing and grenade-throwing which i've completed.

talk about throwing a hand grenade... the feeling of having a live grenade with you, near your body is quite nerve-wrecking.

it could explode any moment.

it could be defected, and any move you made will cause it to blow.

once it blows, anyone within 20m is virtually dead.

but it was fun. not everyone got to throw it though. those with sweaty palms and those who were afraid were excused.

i personally find it fun. especially when it blows off, of course. haha.


SOC- Standard Obstacle Course

SOC is fun too! our own playground. except for the running part, which i dare say is definitely tougher than your 2.4km run. running in your SBO is never a good choice. plus, your rifle's being a bitch by hitting against your body everytime you run.

these few weeks have been rather slack. because we have completed our major events, there's nothing much left.

heck, we're left with a week and 3 days to our graduation parade! or formally know as Passing Out Parade- POP!

oh yeah, i've completed our 16km route march. its special from the other 3,4,6,8 and 12km i've done cuz this time, our field pack is slightly heavier and we walked straight for 8km without resting. we didn't take a break at the 4km rest point, probably cuz everyone was feeling quite high?

i dunno about them, but for me my shoulders almost gave way when i reached the rest point ahhahha.

anyway! recruit life is about to be over soon. going to bade farewell to BMTC 1 Jaguar Company. its been a very good 11 weeks or so. especially with my section. and my buddy. WHO'S INDIAN. HAHHAAHHAHAHHA.

even though i felt that our platoon is not as united as it should be, but at least at some point of time we managed to stick together.

for the 16km route march, we were kinda scattered here and there, abit disappointing but nevertheless none of us fell out, and completed the whole 16km march together.


our field camp photo! heh... heck, i can't even spot myself!

good old days of our field camp.. 6 days of hell, during mid-october. and here, we emerged warriors! HAHAHA.

well once again. its book-out day.

booked out yesterday at a orgasmic 1200 hours! thats 12pm for you fellas. but of course, since when is SAF so nice........................

we had to attend this defence exhibition at Science Centre. wasn't that bad, considering that we can:

1) enjoy air-con (Science Centre leh, not some hawker centre!)
2) get to see mainland Singapore (Tekong isn't exactly the best place to be.....)
3) have the chance to book out early (we won't possibly stay there the whole day till 8pm?)
4) look at girls (girls girls and more girls.)

haha the last point is just bullshit.

really.

no, i was just kidding!

okay never mind.

so we were there for the whole afternoon till about 3pm. thereafter i had lunch with my section mates at Jurong East area. then one of my section mates fetched me home as his dad came to pick him up.

hmm so for the past week... as usual military training. next week gonna go for live range! real, live rounds. live range = shooting rifle with live rounds.

which means you are holding something that could KILL.

hahhhahhhahahahhhahahhahhaa AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA


haha.

my blog is pretty boring, ain't it? i feel the same way. no pictures or whatsoever. i mean, we can't bring any image-capturing devices into Tekong so there is no way i can show you how our camp looks like.

or the trainings we had.

or the nonsensical funny stuffs we did. (sniggers)

well. here are some songs that we made up and sang inside. all stupid and lame and funny but well... its the army? the original lyrics... well they're not as interesting as ours!

hey ah oh ah infantry ah!
we are the men, from Jaguar company yah!
last time i can masturbate ah!
now i have to stand-by bed yah!
got no time to peel orange ah!
but got time to go for range yah!
got no time for chocolate bar ah!
but got time for pull-up bars yah!

well the beat is... i can't exactly describe it out here. eh got time, gimme a call, i try to sing the song for you. LOL.

G is for Geylang!
E is for every night!
Y is for young chicks!
L is for long dicks!
A is for ah-peks!
N is for night life!
G is for good life!

down by the alley,
i took a little walk-kkk,
ran into some prostitues,
had a little suck cock.

we fucked them, (AHH), sucked them, (AHH), fucked them sucked them (AHH AHH!)
into the hoooole,
left her to drown-nn,
we don't need no girlfriends,
prostitutes are cheappppp,

HEEEYYYYYY don't be a fool, somebody said we are number 2,
PUI, we are number 1!!!! JAGUARRRRR!

we still have some other nonsensical songs, but lazy to write them down here. haha!

oh well. POP is coming next month. 10 dec 2008. i'll no longer be a recruit! a trained soldier! most importantly...

no more going back to Tekong! its like someone shipped you off to another island and imprisoned you there man...

alright. time to get some rest. oh well.

i reached home at 11 30pm, or rather 2330 last night. i've never felt so shagged in my whole life before, haha.

the last 2 weeks have been physically and mentally tiring for me, and of course all my buddies. we stormed the jungles together, leopard crawl through mud and dirt together (once we had to leopard crawl over this hill cuz we pissed our Sir off but heng he relented. i swore i wouldn't be sitting here if i did that), slept in a shellscrape i dug, swiped tons of mosquitoes and flies and ants, killed a centipede (with my SAF boots leh!) and of course...

the highlight was i actually DID NOT FALL SICK. or FELL OUT. hahaaahahahahhaahhahahaa.

never thought i would made it through all these huh.. you fucking pussies!

except i came back with a swollen right eye and tons of insect bites on both sides of my hand. my sister is afraid to look at them lol. i think there's.. (counting) about 20 bites on each hand? went home and applied MOPIKO, that kinda helps to soothe the itchiness.

field camp, 6 days, took place last week. it was hell, i tell you. literally a boot camp kinda thing. well, its an experience, firstly i didn't bathe for the 6 whole damn days, i only bathed for the 1st time in 6 days when i reached home.

i stood in the shower, at home, and just basked in the glory of having warm water run over me, for... a good 3,4 mins.

and another thing.. having dug a hole for more than 6 hours, and sleeping in it... never felt so good. hahahaha!

the worst thing that happened was that it rained CONTINOUSLY from the night of Day2 till the morning of Day5 of my field camp... it was really fucked up man, that was really some bad fuckshit. sleeping in wet clothes.... but luckily i had my gortex jacket.

so anyway, another highlight was SHITTING in the forest. yeah baby, you just dig a hole, unbutton your pants, squat down and.... let everything out!

i was shitting at another camp site that offered me a sea view... okay how many times in your lifetime have you shit in an open area, and in one that offers you a sea view? which you can see ships passing by.....

no right?

THEN WHAT YOU WAITING FOR? SIGN ON WITH THE SAF!

that was just plain bullshit, excuse me. heh..

so one night, i was sleeping when suddenly... it began to rained.

no, not just rained. it rained heavily, accompanied by thunder and lightning. all of us hurried out of our tents and took shelter at a nearby shed. which was, just nice, beside the sea.

so as the sea breeze blew in, we shivered. it was just plain pathetic, all of us soaking wet (the shed wasn't big enough for all of us) and the wind just kept blowing in at us........

conclusion: life in the jungle is tough, and is subjected to the mercy of the heavens and weather.

now you jackasses know how lucky you are?

alright. time to let my swollen eyes to rest. honestly i don't know how i got them... bloody hell. there's an old saying that when you peep at girls bathing, you will get swollen eyes.

BUT JUNGLE FIELD CAMP WHERE GOT GIRLS!

!#@!$#@%!@^^#$@&#@&#@%#!%@$#^$#@^#!^#!&!#

hmm.

today is beeping's birthday! hahaha. happy birthday chua beeping!

so last night, we went out to eat. its a restaurant called Brussels or something. located near Robertson's Quay. i think.

but there is like, an angmoh heaven la. first time i see so many angmoh gather together.

or maybe its just me... stuck at Tekong chalet for too long, become fucking sua ku liao. =((

the food there was quite awesome. erm, so there was beeping, of course, soe, hteinlin and kush. kush came to pick me up and drive there, as the other 3 were there already.

hteinlin rode his bike there. i got the chance to pillion ride his bike! my first time sitting on a bike. honestly it was a little scary but not bad. especially when the cold wind hits across your face your hair kinda stands.

nope, i didn't pee nor crapped in my pants either =D

as i was saying, we were eating at Brussels, and their mussels (i think its spelled like that) are pretty good. beeping and soe ordered some chicken thigh main course, not bad. kush and hteinlin had fish n chips.

so... me bring curious. went to order some Fillet Americain (i think its spelled like that...?) which is some beef stuffs. well, could be some beef main course. the waiter told me its something like raw beef so i went ahead with the order.

when my meal came... i tot it came straight out from a can of Cesar. you know, that small can of dog food with a picture of a cute white dog on it?

yeah. that one. my raw beef looks like dog food served with lettuce and potato wedges.

LOL. its not bad...... considering they mixed it with some MY-YOUR-NIECE sauce (miniwong taught me how to spell it like that! lol) and bits of colesaw in it.

so... yeah. there was my dinner. sad. a can of Cesar.

heh...

after that we went to catch Max Payne at The Cathy... basically the movie was DISAPPOINTING man. considering its from a game. plot was abit draggy here and there.

wanted to watch Body Of Lies but its coming out on 20th NOV -_-

anyway, soe bought beeping a Wii for her birthday! omg man hahhaaha not bad sia. Wii. damn!

after the movie we had supper at bukit timah, and went home to sleep.


one thing i realised is that, everytime i booked out, first thing i would do is rush to the toilet and.............................

SHIT.

wa, the feeling of shitting in your own toilet, in your own comfort is so damn... priceless.

so all you people out there. don't take shitting in your house's toilet for granted. its a PRIVILEGE.

well well well..

next week's my field camp.

6 days in the open jungle.

how nice.

the week where my commanders will literally yell and fuck us up.

can't wait for it.

=(

too tired to blog now though. nights.

time really flies man.

its been 4 weeks since i've enlisted. 4 long weeks. 4 weeks of physical training.

and of course, 4 weeks of punishments from my commanders. haha!

compared to the other platoons in my company, i must say mine is the most..... relaxed one. HAHHAHHA. all my sergeants treat us very well. but that is to be over soon, as military training is coming up, and the angels inside them are disappearing. =(

next week is the 5th one. i'm left with... around 9 weeks to go.

of course, what is army without all the jungles? haha. next next week i'll be going in, finally. getting close to mother nature! and no doubt, no bathing for a LONG LONG time.

correct what! jungle where got bathroom for you to bathe? hahhaha.

i can't say much here anyway. ah well... army life. getting quite used to it.

4 weeks together with my section mates. we feel almost like we've been training together for like 4 months hahaha.

can't imagine only 2-3 months ago i was still working at PwC. wearing formal, civilian clothes.

leading a normal civilian life.

having a normal civilian haircut.

eating normal civilian food.

holding a normal civilian IC.

taking normal civilian pubic transport.

life changes, and there is so much i can learn from all these.

anyway, my com died on me yesterday. my power supply, apparently, cocked up on me. i can't boot up my computer at all. guess its time to buy a new one.

wanted to make myself a new com but i don't have enough time nor cash.

a recruit's pay is really pathetic. OH, and miniwong has enlisted! HHAHAHAH. that poor ass. in my school somemore! guess will see him in the cookhouse. hahha.

can't think of any shit that i can blog now. maybe will blog about my jungle experience. LMAO.

the sky looks dark. all the dark clouds loom. pretty soon you see everyone clearing off the streets and the sun is blocked by the low clouds.

you carry your field pack. heavy, but still comfy. dragging your boots, which you're not supposed to, you walk to the ferry terminal. along with all your buddies. no one speaks or said anything, and all with the same solemn expression. boarding the ferry, you sit down beside your buddy, and closed your eyes. took a short nap. glance up occasionally to check your bearing, and pretty soon you see the dreaded island.

that's book in day.

you carry your field pack, and god, it feels so fucking light. together with your buddies, all of you run towards the ferry along the pier, shouting and singing book-out songs. though tired out from the morning's training, no one showed any signs of slowing down. removing your jockey cap, you hurried onto the ferry and find a sing, plonk your ass down, and start to call/sms people. everyone is smiling.

that's book out day.



this sucks man.

i'll be booking out late next saturday, so i won't be able to make it for my cousin's wedding dinner.

and i've got another cousin whose wedding is in december. on a sunday evening.

WA LAU.

so rare got 2 wedding dinners in a year.

SO SUAY I HAVE TO DO NATIONAL SERVICE.

and book out late.............



have to book in later though. sigh.

the start of week 4 soon. physical training will soon be over, and more emphasis on military training.

well, its good, i mean, we're soldiers so we gotta learn how to use our guns right? haha. anyway physical training will always be part of the training there.

see you guys soon. =)

well.

another weekend. another book-out day.

tml, or rather the coming day, will be the book-in day.

not bad lah, can get to book out on friday evening, then sunday evening book back in again.

things are gonna change next week though, cuz my book out day is falling on a saturday afternoon WHICH SUCKS, and probably my book-in would be sunday evening.

sigh.

life in the shoes of a NSF. national serviceman full-time.

this is my 3rd week now. i have 10 more weeks to go. haha. roughly 10. so far, what i've done in camp is CONFIDENTIAL. lol. secret seh... classified information! hahaa. bullshit la.

all the while in camp, we've been doing physical training mostly. even though we've received our rifles (we are soldiers, of course we need them!), but we're not going into details like how to strip them, and fire them. mainly these few weeks we're having physical training.

not bad lah.

and true enough.. after our 2 weeks confinement, all the devil's horns in our commanders head came out.

late for a few seconds... KNOCK IT DOWN.

forgot to bring this down... KNOCK IT DOWN.

not standing still in senandiri (dunno how to spell) position... KNOCK IT DOWN.

and of course, not forgetting their favourite activity before meals.. pullups before every meal!

if cannot do... KNOCK IT DOWN.

FYI, knock it down means going into push-up positions and staying there. until your commander gives the go signal. so basically it means, going into the position, then asking for permission to carry on, then one timer will count, and after everyone finishes, you ask permission to recover.

fun? FUN, OF COURSE. everyone do tgt. its not that bad la.

won't go into details of other stuffs in camp. fearing for my life. in case SAF thinks i'm posing a threat by posting the details of my training here. and decides to put a bullet to my head.

overall, best thing is just to listen to what they say, and try to do. even if you can't due to circumstances, just pretend to put in effort, or at least show the effort or have a sense of urgency.

oh well. life in there isn't that bad. what brings you down makes you stronger ma. all the physical stuffs... help train up my body.

other that that, my buddies all inside, we all can click and get along. so there's no like shunning anyone.

hmm. sometimes at night, i still think of her. i have no idea why.

maybe i should get some sleep now.

can't wait for POP. =)

oh wells. today's the first F1 race ever held in Singapore, first ever night race, first F1 night street race.

BUT I HAVE TO BOOK IN! !##$$#%#^#^#^#&#&#&#$!@!##$!@!

sian jipua.

what to do? have to serve my nation~ *music plays*

bye guys. see you in a bit, when the Hari Raya holiday comes =D

finally!

i'm back to mainland Singapore!

away from the island of Pulau Tekong!


really man, it feels AWESOME to be back at home. looking at my com. and my bed. and pillow. and my bolster.

hahhaha.

okay. so, how's army life in there?

sorry guys i can't say much, cuz its against the law if i reveal and talk about the activities i participated inside the camp.

HAHA.

no, serious.

so... well. army life is, of course, tough. i mean... dude you're ENLISTING into the army and not booking in to a chalet.

but then again, it has taught me a number of stuffs, mainly discipline.

most of the stuffs we did requires huge amounts of discipline.

the physical training there is not exactly what i expected but still, it is useful. I'd like to think of it as training more on my mental strength rather than my physical strength.

well, its only been 2 weeks, but i guess i'm pretty much adjusted to the life there. my section mates have all been very fun and cooperative, hence it brings us closer together.

since the 2 weeks of confinement has been up... i can safely say next week onwards life for us will be HELL.

HELL-ISH WEEKS AHEAD.

lol. yes. don't ask me why, but that's what i think.

haha.

oh, it sucks to fall sick there. i had cough and sore throat towards the end of my book out. living hell man. especially when you go running.

well. see you guys soon!


P.S: yes, i look totally retarded with my botak head, and my pimples have exploded in such a manner that will put the craters in the moon to shame =(

wooo its like 10pm now. and i have to wake up at 6am to prepare for my enlistment.

=(

will miss my guitar and my bed.

goodbye civilisation!

hello tekong -_-

well. time really files.

a moment ago i was still looking at my poly photos, how all of us used to fool around in school daily.

and now.

tml i'll be enlisting for the army, and spend 14 days in the NICE Tekong chalet... =(

sian man. must report at 08 30 at BMTC School 1. zzz. 8am must reach Pasir Ris take bus to the ferry terminal then take ferry there.

dunno what coy i will tio. probably Jaguar... Hawk coy intake is in afternoon, so maybe Sianglong will kena.

come to think of that... only Sianglong and I kena the same day for enlistment.

Soe just left for enlistment a moment ago. he's supposed to enlist today at.. 12pm? or 1pm.. haahaha.

so. let me see... what have i done for the last week of freedom. of being a civilian -_-

so....

• Monday

well. i practically slacked at home. played my guitar and watched some telly. at night went for dinner with someone really special =)

• Tuesday

ehh.. i think i slept at home all day... HAHA.

• Wednesday

didn't really do anything in the day. honestly my day activities are very... time-killing. lol. morning wake up, brush teeth, wash face, have breakfast. switch on the com. play the guitar. watched the telly.

but Wednesday night i went out with my primary school buddies. jijin, shuling and liting. jijin just POP-ed the day before, and after his 24km route march i'm surprised he still had the energy to come find us. though he's sick with sore throat and all. LOL.

so we had dinner at Sakae Sushi at Wheelock Place. after that liting had to go for work at Zouk, so the 3 of us went to this small bar, Bali House, just beside Hotel Grand Central. we wanted to go to Giraffe for drinks but we're too tired to walk to PS that area.. heh.

some pictures of us. friends since 1999! omg. coming to 10 years. HAHA. old liao man.


dude on the left enlisting tml, dude on the right is already a Private =(

the 2 lovely ladies!

• Thursday

so Thursday was yesterday. as usual, went about my "day-time" activities. only this time i went to pack my bag. what to bring tml.

clothes for sleeping, snacks, prickly heat powder, soap, shampoo, facial wash, nail clippers, slippers, detergent, extra underwear (and i meant ALOT), medicated plaster, pen, marker.......... and the list kinda goes on.

at night finally....

I PLAYED SOCCER! for the first time in like... 2 months? omg. hahahaha.

after that i went to find soe zhang they all. FUCK MAN zhang is finally back! that stupid bitchface. disappear from us so long. go back china never contact us! finally he's back ahahahaha.




and so. today... i guess i'm just gonna stay at home and rest. sleep and cuddle on my bed if i have time. lol.

alright guys. see you after the 2 weeks of confinement! =)

don't miss me ah =p

well.

another day.

another step closer.

saturday 13th sept, here i come!


had a fantastic dinner with a even more fantastic company. sadly that might be the last time. who knows when we'll meet?

glad i got it all outta my mind. even if all else fails.

=)

thank you, KB. for everything.



NEXT STOP: TEKONG =/

OMG.

SAF is changing their uniform................

check out the link below:

http://www.asiaone.com/specials/SAF/

LMAO! so heng ah... i enlisting soon then they wanna change the uniform. HHAHAHHAHA.

i think in terms of look, don't really give a damn. i mean, who's there to look at you in the jungle?! you don the uniform... put on the helmet... put on the camouflage make-up...

all look the bloody same!

well, click on the link above to see what it has improvised on.

its gonna be pushed out to all servicemen next year. as quoted from asiaone.com:

"

Mindef says the new combat uniform will be phased in over three years, taking into consideration the wear and tear of the serviceman's existing uniform.

So besides the recruits entering national service next year, active personnel and NSmen in their 6th and 7th In-Camp Training (ICT) years will get their new uniforms at the start of the 2009.

This will be followed in 2010, by NSmen who are in their 5th and 6th ICT years. In 2011, NSmen in their 3rd to 5th ICT years will receive the new uniform.

Unfortunately, NSmen currently in their 7th to 9th ICT years will not receive the new uniform.

"

drats. ahhh never mind i'll have the opportunity to wear both. i hope. hehehehe.

today is 1st Sept 2008.

which is also Teacher's Day.

which also marks the 13days countdown to my enlistment.

okay.... so its roughly... erm 12 days left.

=(

i have roughly 2 weeks and a day more to my enlistment day.

haha. honestly, i'm quite looking forward to it.

not because i enjoy it. probably because i wanna get it over and done with it.

come out, and either apply for university admission or work.


been have many bouts of flu for the past few weeks.. its damn irritating! took some chinese medicine and stuffs.. after awhile, its gone. then suddenly it just came back!

its like, i just woke up and my nose starts to act up again. all the mucus. GAHHH.

so i went to see the doctor. he gave me 20tabs of some pseudoephedrine (go look it up on wikipedia) and 60 TABS of chlorpheniramine (go look it up too; i have totally no idea).

60 tabs.

wow.

am i supposed to bring my medicine into camp 2 weeks from now? lol.



anyway while outside just now, i saw many many school students, mostly secondary school, walking around, some loitering outside the primary school gates.

hmm. what's the occasion.

AH! this coming Monday is 1st Sept.

Teacher's Day!

NO WONDER.

omg its been like... i think 3 years since i've celebrated that. 3 years plus to be exact. sigh.

good old days of fooling around in sec sch.

then, good old days of poly days. skipping lessons. going town together.

really man, i'd never thought that i would miss school that much.

between work and school........ definitely, of course, without a doubt.

SCHOOL. (poly ahh... not sec sch or JC)


alrighty. gotta start planning what to do for the next 2 weeks. on a tight budget though =(

haha okay i find this quite funny and amusing.


haha. okay i was bored =/

meooowww.

wa lau, this few days its been raining non-stop man.

but good to take naps =D but sadly, don't think i've gained any weight....

maybe a kilo or two. =((


Across The Universe- The Beatles.

felt like posting this song onto my blog, cuz its a real nice song by The Beatles and yet not really one of their popular hits like I Wanna Hold Your Hand or Hey Jude. they seriously have ALOT of nice songs and my hard drive has like only 1/4 of their whole collection i think. LOL.



enjoy!

do you like spongebob?

or... do you like Patrick the dumb dumb (but cute!) starfish?


hmm.. do you simply like Spongebob and friends?




but then.. metal music to you might sound like thrash...

BUT FRET NOT!

the video below shows metal music (eg. Metallica, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Lamb of God) can be enjoyed with spongebob and friends cartoons! =D


TRUST ME, IT WORKS FOR MEEEE!






yes i was bored =(

life's pretty stagnant recently.

sigh.

no more soccer buddies. gahh. all in camp. =/

maybe i should get some sleep soon.

okay, i think i kinda regret quiting my job at pwc so early.

2nd week of august now.

i'm feeling very, very, very stoned as each day passes by.

i'm just stuck at home. all (okay, most) of my frens are in camp during the weekdays. so, that leaves me with a handful of frens.

minus off the ppl who work.

who have school.

that leaves me with.....


GAHH never mind.

enlisting on 13th September 2008. 2 years later. 13th September 2010 (hopefully, they won't screw up my ORD date), i'll be out of National Service.

and into the working world~~~!!!!!!!!!!!

i dunno, should i try to apply for the new aerospace course at SIM?

i know, most of you will go... aiya SIM not singapore local uni, no good one lah..

but then i don't think i can make it for NTU's Aerospace course. that is......... like, i duno. given my GPA. if you don't have more than 3.7 for a GPA i supposed you can forget about applying for that course.

UNLESS..

i try my luck and apply for the EEE (electronics electrical engineering) course.... though i don't think my chances are high and i'm not very interested in that course.

of course, my best option is to join SIA Engineering and study there for 2+ years, then bond with them for 4 years?

DUNNO LAH.

not doing anything, not working, not schooling somehow... made my brain function slower..

omg i'm turning into a retard =(

oh yeah.

today's 3rd Aug.

haha.

had a real tough weekend man. loads of troubles and shit. TYY's chalet was a blast though! but sadly i was blasted with something else on the road...

sorry for giving you a big scare kelvin.

never mind about that.

no, not pissing NCM off okay. OH SHIT. I ACTUALLY FORGOT TO PISS HER OFF ON MY LAST DAY! WTF?!!

i was too busy taking pictures with my colleagues until...

emily: EH ERIC, DON'T WANT TAKE PICTURE WITH NCM?
*just nice, NCM walks past us..*

NCM: huh? haha... *slows down her footsteps*

me: ahhh.. i gotta rush off now actually! *looks at watch* jessie, you okay to go? *looks at her nervously*

NCM: haha.. never mind la...

emily: aiyo, why never take with her?

me: i really gotta rush man.. meeting my frens outside ma.....


i mean... WHO THE HELL WOULD WANNA TAKE A PICTURE WITH SOMEONE WHO TEKAN YOU SO BAD.

teeheheheeee. i'm so bad. GHAHHHAHAAHAHAHAHAH. -_-

okay. sleep. i'm damn tired.

work ends for me next Thursday when my contract ends.

sigh.

after spending like.. i dunno, 5 months? in GTS. oh man.

GTS is the IT department of PwC.

PwC is pricewaterhousecoopers, an auditing firm.

which is, of course, my workplace.

i entered in 11feb. so.. i would have worked for almost 6months. i made alot of frens there.

first friend i made (or rather they made me their fren =/) was angeline koh! haha during the orientation i sat beside her, and i was the only sucker without a laptop (i mean, i'm into the IT dept so they wont bother to prepare; they can do it last minute), so she shared hers with mine!

then after the lunch break i went to eat (READ: ALONE) and after that i went back, angeline and her frens came and talk to me. actually, only 3 of them. angeline, jimmy and sheena. wa they're damn friendly people man! from NYP.

they actually wanna ask me along for lunch, cuz i'm like the only loner there (there was another batch of students from SP, and some temp staffs who went to eat with their frens outside) and well... they didn't dare to ask. cuz i was on the phone with miniwong after the orientation ends LMAO!

so, well. we still chat with one another online via the company's IM system, but after they left in april i realised i have no one to chat to -___- other than jessie.

AHH. speaking of jessie. oh man, you should be proud i'm posting about you here! HAHAHAHA. second fren (okay, maybe the 4th fren, since the 1st 3 frens i made were angeline jimmy and sheena) i made! still remember the first "shit job" i tio was do the unpack-the-USB-mouse thing. they threw both of us into the bloody storeroom and we had to dismantle all that shit!

i'm gonna have to admit something very loserish+thick-skinned here. as i was the only guy working (EK Kelvin they all started work MUCH later) hence there was no one i could lunch with. i wasn't very close to my other colleagues yet (its only the 3rd day, and i can't even remember anyone's name!!!)

yes it was very pathetic.

i spent the 1st 2 days eating alone and wandering around the area, walking and looking around.

on the 3rd day i couldn't take it eating alone.

went up to her.

"hey.. erm do you lunch alone here or something?"

"ahh no i meet my fren for lunch. she works nearby, in DBS building there."

"i see.. erm... (i actually remembered i kinda swallowed my saliva before i continued -,-) well.. do you mind if i join you guys for lunch? i mean, well if your fren don't mind and stuffs.. if not its okay.."

"oh, okay no problem. she's okay with it."

"ahh really? okay cool, thanks alot man!"

after that i dunno why, but i felt i should slap myself for being so thick-skinned as to "force" myself into their lunch meeting HAHAHA.

so after a few months, think a couple of weeks ago, i mentioned this to jessie, and so i asked her if she thought i was thick-skinned, she immediately said YEAH, THICK SKINNED LA!

-_- nv give face........... so direct. -_-

so for the first 2,3 months we had to do all the shit jobs. cuz we're temps.

then zoey left for maternity leave... jessie had to take over the telephone IT helpdesk...

and i'm left alone to do all the shit jobs -_-

from anything like packing the store.. to taking out the trash from the store.. to folding cardboard boxes, dismantling laptops, switching the LCD panels of laptops...

i think i've learnt enough to work in IBM's tech support LOL. okay kidding.

actually i think i've learn quite a number of stuffs. but mostly is PwC's software all that, but still its an experience. and of course, i had to teach jessie cuz she's such a tech noob =p haha! oh wells but she's quite smart, SURPRISINGLY =D

and the other colleagues.. quek, tcm, leong, benson, jason, alvin, janice. all the tech support people. quek esp!!

damn funny la quek. everytime got pretty girls come in, he'll be like looking at me, and using his eyes, point to the girl. then after she left, he'll come over and say stuffs like BUAY PAI AH? (not bad in hokkien) HAHAHAHA oh man.

quek and TCM. these 2 are the funniest and jokers in my dept. they're damn good at talking crap! TCM should join mediacorp. he can mimick very well!

OH did i mention, dirty jokes and talks are their forte. HAHAAHAHHAAHAHAH. oh man i just can't stop laughing when they start some shit.

and there's vincent and benjamin! the 2 young fellas of GTS. also very good to talk cock with. heh. aiya, whenever got all these guys around... it'll be DAMN FUN. lol.

for the ladies.. don't really mix with them much, cuz nothing much to talk crap about. hahaha. except for jessie. generation gap with the aunties? LMAO. OOPS. there's zoey and emily, who're forever poking and making fun at jessie. hahahahaa!

the rest, i'm not very close with them cuz mainly they're either managers, or com programmers. so don't really get to talk much with them.


ahhh. 4 more days in that office. of course, will miss that place. after all i spent 5 months in there! and not getting paid for the month of august...

well have to do some planning for august. lest i become broke. =/

AND ZHANG'S COMING BACK END OF AUGUST. ZOMG THAT FAT FUCK FINALLY DECIDES TO COME BACK. kinda bored without him here man.

woah. been sometime since i've updated.

so, yeah, still working as usual.

work was hectic man, seriously. for the past 2,3 days, suddenly my boss gave me some huge workload. its like, i've to finish them before my contract ends!

ARGH.

but then again i do enjoy my work. not the stupid shit jobs NCM ask me to do.......

anyway jessie went on a holiday last wed-fri, so for these 3 days, we're short of manpower. in fact, we're already short of manpower as 2 of my colleagues are on leave. one hospitalised (zoey), the other on maternity leave (jancie).

sigh.

then on thursday auntie emily went on leave also. LOL. busy like..... woo!

good too, keeps us occupied.

jessie's gonna take a full week off next week too, as she's going for wisdom tooth extraction on monday, hence the long break.

OH MAN. 8 days without her. no one to talk crap to, make fun of, do notebook upgrades. oh yeah, i've yet to teach her laptop upgrades as she needs to take over my job after i leave. =/

work.

the people over there.. real nice people man. though some (well only 1 or 2) are pretty much assholes.


anyway, kelvin booked out last friday! wooo. hahaaha he looks weird with that botak hairstyle! okay i'm going to have the same hairstyle anyway in like 2months? or less than that.

had supper and stuffs. today and yesterday. LOL. man. told us some stories. i must say, life inside the police academy isn't that bad too. though there're no jungles for them to train in. unlike us, have to tolerate all the funny jungle stuffs. i.e mud, soil, grass, mosquitos, funny bugs and insects, scary centipedes, snakes blah blah.

oh well.

actually, i dunno man, i just want NS to come like NOW. immediately. get it over and done with it. more of looking forward to it than fearing it. lol.

ahh. i need some sleep.

i got stuck in the lift after work today.

don't ask. i had a bad day -,-

second time in my whole life. (1st was in SP's lift with my classmates)

i spend a good 30mins or so inside the lovely lift.

what makes it worse is that after getting stuck on the 12th floor, it went straight to ground floor.

and it got stuck there.

SO.

everyone could pass by and see me.

i think i'm a celebrity in my block now.

i came out sweating like a pig, and urgent to pee. thanked the fella, and dashed up home to pee.

yeah. interesting day, huh.

PICTURES! =D

from my birthday. LOL!


in the office now. nothing to do. hence- ACT BUSY. TYPE SOMETHING. CHECK EMAIL.


kelvin went in yesterday. he was enlisted into the Home Team Academy, where he would spend his National Service in the police force.

hteinlin went in today. at 2pm.

tomorrow, it'll be alvin, hafiz, amri, johnny, EK, benji, jason, xiang, and many others.

in sept it'll be me, soe and sianglong's turn.

all for the good cause of National Service. LOL.

today's 9th July. i'm left with about 3 weeks of work, or 15 more days to be exact. after that, my contract ends, and i'm a free man. again. at least till 13th sept, which i'll turn into SAF's property =(

jessie's gonna be on long leave from the 16th till 25th. she's going for a holiday, and then a dentist trip cuz she wants to pluck her wisdom tooth out. hence the long break, if not she'll come to work with a swollen cheek! hahahahahaha.

so i guess for those days the horrifying store-keeper NCM The Terrible would be breathing down on my neck, asking me to help her run errands.

not that, you know, that i don't like to help people.

but the stuffs she asked me to do... stupid and meaningless sai gang. sai gang = shit jobs in hokkien.

and one thing i absolutely cannot stand her is her long-windedness. (is there such a word. LOL) she can go on and on and on and on about this and then drag to another topic, and telling me OH I FEEL THAT YOU SHOULD DO THIS WAY CUZ....

man. i mean, WHO GIVES A FUCK?!

moron.

quite a few times, she wants me to help her with a simple task, eg, unscrew the laptop and retrive the memory module inside.

after 10mins of her lecture (she went on to say what if not enough, what if company lose money), i actually forgot what she wants me to do in the first place.


so.... OH YEAH.

hafiz and alvin. your girlfriends laughed at me because i look like chicken-little.

damnit.

anyway, been thinking of what i should do in august.

so.. the top 3 priorties...

1) EAT MORE.

i'm too skinny now; last week when soe saw me he exclaimed, "wa, what the fuck happened to you? you look like a skinny motherfucker now."

-___-

2) WORK OUT MORE.

time to hit the gym at least 2,3 times a week. buff up. train my stamina, though i doubt 1month of jogging would bring drastic improvements to my stamina.

3) LEARN SWIMMING.

okay, not really learn swimming. i'm just really really REALLY poor in swimming. i know the strokes and stuffs, but i guess it'll take me a whole load of practice before i can actually manage 50m. currently my personal record stands at 10m =(


so there.

hahahaha my colleagues keep asking me to extend. i guess we can pretty click with one another. probably cuz we're the only 2 temp staffs who had worked so long. me, feb till july. jessie, feb till nov. NOV. OMG. she's extending her contract till nov lmao.

i'm tired of working man. sucks to wake up at 6 45am every mon-fri, and coming home at around 7pm. somemore, i stood all the way to work, and same thing happens when i go home. squashed with the peak hour crowd. ZZZZ.

mentally tiring. wish i had a car though. drive home. hahhahha yeah right.

work here has been pretty good. except for NCM The Terrible. everyone here is fun to work with. and fun too! esp when they crack dirty jokes HHAHAHAHA well its mostly guys here.

been spending less time with my guitar too =(

i wonder what stunt should i pull off on my last week of work...

maybe when NCM The Terrible asks me to help her take some laptops out.. and she starts to tell her whatever shit reason for doing it.. i'll like give the stressed face and look at her..

I... I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!

hmm i shall discuss with my other colleauges. who knows, i might leave a DEEP impression here. =D

alright. can't think of anymore bullshit to type here, so...

bye.

blogging in office now! =D

yesterday's paintball session was simply smashing! HAHAHAH oh man the thrill of dodging the paintball bullets.

salty organised it for my birthday. well, kinda like my birthday celebration and gathering rolled into one. haha.

my sister also came with us, as she wanted to play paintball.

in the end, the people who came:

me, mini, ek, salty, kelvin, benji, bingting, er-er (bingting's gf), yufan, TYY and my sister!

hence it was 5 vs 6. as there were 11 ppl.

we were supposed to reach there at 9pm. so me and my sis, we were coming from my grandma's house, and we thought we were late so we took a cab from serangoon to yishun.

turns out we were the earliest -__- i even had time to take a dump and change into sloppy clothes and slack around for a good 15mins.

kelvin alighted at Yishun but kinda walked the wrong way.

EK fetched benji and yufan, met the rest of the guys at Yishun MRT, and decided to take a piss there.

and bingting and his gf reached at around 9 15?

BUT nevertheless once we were briefed on the safety issues and how to operate the guns.

WE WERE ALL EXCITED AND GOOD TO GO!

so, on one side... the team consists of kelvin, salty, bingting, er-er, benji and yufan! the 6-man team.

and on the other side.. the team consists of me, mini, ek, TYY and my sister carrine!

and the first round goes......

we're issued with face masks (makes everyone looks like Darth Vader o_O) and a foam vest for chest protection. looks like those bulletproof Kelvar vests!)

and our weapon of choice- nitrogen-powered paintball semi-automatic gun.

i would have opted for something with a mounted scope so i can enjoy picking my targets off but of course they don't have any shit like that.

so, with our protection gear all set up,

note: as i was typing halfway, my colleagues announced that Janice (my colleague who's on maternity leave) has just given birth to a healthy baby boy! congrats! though she's not going to see this -_-

anyway, as i was saying, with our protection gear all set up, we picked up our guns...

walked to our home base...

OH SHIT.

so sorry, i forgot to explain the game rules and stuffs. hehehehehehe. come on, i slept for only 5-6hours last night!

there're 2 teams (obviously) and each takes one extreme end of the battlefield as their base. The field is divided into 2 parts. Teams cannot cross over the mid-line over to their enemies side of the field. At the mid-line of the field, there're 2 boxes. One has to grab the box, without getting shot, and run back with it to the base.

If you're shot, you are to raise your hand up and run back to the safety hut, which is near your base. Once you touch it, you are allow to join the battlefield again. Hence, there's no elimination or whatsoever. everyone gets a chance to play.

Before grabbing the box, however, the team has to pick off 2 orange targets mounted at their enemy's side of the field. Then, they are allowed to go for the box.

okay.

that should be about it.

First round... the siren sounds..

shit, no tactics! no plans!

so i just ran forward -_- i looked back and saw i was the only one sprinting for cover while the rest of them ran elsewhere LMAO.

crouched behind the crates.. saw a target.. shoot. MISS -_- shoot more.

AHHH.

felt something hit the side of my body, below my left armpit -_-

now THATS painful.

ran back to safety hut.. touched it..

came back.. took cover.. aim.. fire..

before i knew it the siren sounded. i think the other team got their box back to the base gahhhhh.

took a short break. next round, we did the same thing. but now we know roughly the accuracy of the gun..

SHOT! no la i mean i shot someone. hehehehehe. wa the feeling of shooting someone... SHIOK. but the other guy poor thing la.... sorry mate! heh heh heh.

shot down the targets..

push forward to the mid-line.

hiding behind the barrel now...

mini crouching beside me.. peering over.. looking for any open targets.. he fired a few rounds off..

yelled to him "COVER ME!!"

he nodded.. rose up and fire more rounds...

i rose up.. wanted to shoot..

SHIT. KNNCCBNNB. my gun the safety lock activated -,-

nevertheless i ran for the box, grabbed it, and ran zig-zag back to my base.

you ever see those 1st person view, where they put the camera beside the person's eye or head, and while they run you see the view shaking all over?

well somehow similar to me. wearing my mask, i hear myself panting and breathing heavily and i tried to make my way back across the terrain.

dropped the box.

siren sounds.

WOO! we won the second round!

ALRIGHT!

and the 3rd round starts...

everyone runs...

this time i was almost 1m away from the box only! but peering from my cover behind the barricade i could see bingting's gun poking out.. damnit!

can't get to the box.

fired some rounds to distract him.

TYY's busy aiming someone.

suddenly mini dashed out and grabbed the box and ran back to our base O_O


paintball is really fun. although you might get injured from the shots. well at most you got is blue-blacks and stuffs..

i got 2.

HAHAHA.

its really tiring too, running around, crouching down, dodging, running even more.

oh yeah salty took some pictures, but its in his camera.... gotta wait!

mini bought me this remote control car -,- basically you have to fix it up, like those Tamiya model cars, after that, plug in the batteries and you're good to go!

man. one of these days.. definitely gotta go back to play paintball!

visit www.paintball.com.sg for more details! those guys over there are damn friendly. they even gave me a teeshirt cuz its my bday -,- LOL.

so long!

i spend all morning listening to Bob Marley and The Beatles omg i feel so hippy now man.

I SO WANNA OWN A VOLKSWAGEN MINI BUS NOW.


okay anyway, some Bob Marley here!

woah man i can virtually see the spiderwebs on my blog now hahha!

okay, so let's see.. last weekend i was away in tioman island for a nice getaway trip with mini kelvin ek and benji!

this time i went to paya village. the previous time i was at salang village.

truth be told, paya village is kinda disappointing. there wasn't many things to do there, nothing much to see, and few places to eat.

not to mention our choice of lodging sucks.

haha but WELL its good. for the first few hours or so, the guys kept complaining, but as time gets by they're kinda accepting the "kampong" lifestyle.

the beach was good. in fact we canoed for a good 5-10 mins to another part of the island, where the water is really really damn clear.

i even thought it was distilled water! so clear i could see the stones and some small fishes swimming around my feet..

of course the sun was blazing down on us. we got sunburnt at the end of the 3rd day -_-

and who could ever forget about booze? drank to our hearts content everynight.

and EK got really lucky... some girl tried to hook him up LMAO!! NOW WHO'S YOUR DADDY.

overall i had a really great time at tioman, but it'll be better if we explored other places more.

PICTURES!

i came back on last monday. and next tuesday was my birthday. and work.

WAAAAA. i came back to work sunburnt and very much worn out. LOL!

oh yeah jessie got me this for a present! =D

thanks jessie! haha you actually remembered about the smelly feet thing!

after work on tuesday i met up with soe htein boonhow hafiz jasmine beeping and alvin for dinner at this mongolian buffet restaurant at park mall.

food wasn't THAT bad. but i've eaten better buffet food hehe.

and the funniest and most-nonsense present i've ever gotten in my life...

ENG BOONHOW BOUGHT ME HALF A WATERMELON -_-

no joke.

too bad i didn't take a picture with it. OH i think its in beeping's camera :/ i haven't ask her for the pics yet gahaahahahaa.

so anyway after the dinner we went to play pool.

wa this whole week i'm feeling so so tired i dunno why. could be the lack of sleep. i actually took 2 short naps yesterday :/ okay so i'm a pig. hey come on man, i'm trying to put on weight! don't give me that look!!

and later on... its time for PAINTBALL! meeting mini ek salty kelvin benji TYY (omg i thought he's MIA) bingting and his gf and my sister for paintball! YEEHAW!

TIME TO SHOOT SOME ASSHOLES DOWN GHAHHAHA (insert evil laughter sound here)

shall upload the pics from beeping's camera asap!

psst i'm feeling very lazy now again.. hence the short post. =D

i think i just had the best dinner of my life.

in a restaurant at holland village.

with a very very nice companion.

=)

cheryl's new blogshop! do support her alright!! hahahaha she's such a dear that's why i'm advertising for her. right cheryl? *motions her to move knife away from my neck.

=D

hurray.

countdown starts. 3 days more to tioman trip. hehehehehehehe.

wa lau have to reach golden mile at like 6am to get ready to board the coach. meaning i would have to take a cab to kelvin's house at bukit gombak, then to mini's house at bukit timah, before going straight to golden mile. GAHH. have to wake up early.

OH NO. just when i need more sleep... sian. hopefully can sleep on the coach.

but with people like mini and kelving around....... SLEEP IS NOT AN OPTION. i gotta be careful man, who knows what they might do to me.. throw my passport out of the bus? rip my shirt off and leave me topless throughout the ride? the possibilities are endlesssssssss... heh heh heh.

ahhhhh. so shiok. seriously been a long long time since i've hit the beach. I MISS THE BITCH! oops i mean the beach.

the last time i hit the beach. couldn't remember already. with the start of 2008 came my final semester examinations. my final poly exams. of course there was no time to play man.. had to focus and give my best for my last exams.

11 days after my final exam, i started working here. at PwC.

OOPS FORGOT TO SAY, I'M BLOGGING AT THE OFFICE NOW. LOL.

soe has been saying, i'm like a fucking coporate slave cuz i work all day. lmao! if i don't work where got money to go out... but then again, i'm too tired to go out in the weekends.

i remember last year during my attachment.. i HAVE to go out every weekends. most of the time i went drinking, clubbing, for that attachment period. really is LOL. at the end of everything i looked at my bank account balance and went... "where the hell's my goddamn money."

i recalled the days i spend and realised OH I SPENT THEM ON DRINKS (i didn't really spend alot actually; soe spent even more than me.)

and with the departure of zhang (he went back to china in apr), seems like there's not much activities like we used to have anymore. of course sometimes we do meet up for dinner but most of the time the only times i see soe and gang (actually only soe.) is for gym, swimming and soccer.

and we're all entering NS soon. first to go is salty. but he, unfortunately or fortunately, got hospitalised just before the day he's supposed to report at Tekong. weird. so he got a month's MC from the doc.

next to go.. kelvin and EK and the bulk of my frens. let's see... kelvin ek jason hteinlin fiz alvin they all.

so after the july batch.. its soe and me. sept batch. fuck man, he's going in on the 12th. i 13th -_-

its been about 20mins or so since i started this post. (btw, i took a 10mins toilet break to go toilet drop bombs hehehehe.)

okay i'm gonna end it now. i can't think of anything to blog.

BUT.

BUT I WILL HAVE ALOT TO BLOG ABOUT WHEN I GET BACK FROM TIOMAN =D

The Cure- A Letter to Elise.

oh elise it doesn't matter what you say
i just can't stay here every yesterday
like keep on acting out the same
the way we act out
every way to smile
forget
and make-believe we never needed
any more than this
any more than this

oh elise it doesn't matter what you do
i know i'll never really get inside of you
to make your eyes catch fire
the way they should
the way the blue could pull me in
if they only would
if they only would
at least i'd lose this sense of sensing something else
that hides away
from me and you
there're worlds to part
with aching looks and breaking hearts
and all the prayers your hands can make
oh i just take as much as you can throw
and then throw it all away
oh i throw it all away
like throwing faces at the sky
like throwing arms round
yesterday
i stood and stared
wide-eyed in front of you
and the face i saw looked back
the way i wanted to
but i just can't hold my tears away
the way you do

elise believe i never wanted this
i thought this time i'd keep all of my promises
i thought you were the girl i always dreamed about
but i let the dream go
and the promises broke
and the make-believe ran out...

so elise
it doesn't matter what you say
i just can't stay here every yesterday
like keep on acting out the same
the way we act out
every way to smile
forget
and make-believe we never needed
any more than this
any more than this

and every time i try to pick it up
like falling sand
as fast as i pick it up
it runs away through my clutching hands
but there's nothing else i can really do
there's nothing else i can really do
there's nothing else
i can really do
at all...

very sian.

today's a saturday. LOL. wasting my life at home. zzz.

kelvin went out for a movie with his frens.

EK, well, went MIA.

miniwong... WORKING T_T

salty........... MIA??


soe, fiz, kush and clem left for KL today. they'll be back only next wednesday. good grief, sat - wed.. 5 freaking days in malaysia! haahahahaha. aiya they're bound to hit all the clubs there. oh they're visiting sunway lagoon too. but not genting i guess.

neer mind eric. NEXT FRIDAY YOUR TURN.

tioman here i come =D

DAMN I MISS THE SUN AND THE SEA BREEZE!

ho ho ho.

i'm in office now.

EDIT:

http://www.friendster.com/bulletin.php?bid=59162767&uid=4206649

i dunno what cheryl wants, but she wanted me to paste that link up here. lol. GO CLICK ON IT NOW!!

HAHA.

yes as you can see i'm very much self-entertaining myself.

no, not because i have nothing to do. in fact, that would be the last thing i would ever say. once i say that i'm FREE or i HAVE NOTHING TO DO,

for the next like 2-3 hours i'll be doing some shit job.

i rather they come over and give me something to do though..

so anyway.

i have flu. its been a long loooong time since i posted on my blog saying I HAVE FLU.

it came back looking for me. the virus said it misses me alot. it can't live without me. it wants to spend its entire life with me. till death do us apart.


i know i know, i've been talking too much cock.


work isn't that bad today. some dismantling of laptops here and there.. some admin stuffs.. some IT troubleshooting.

okay its boring.

and i'm sick.

its not making things better.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE TIOMAN TRIP. booze =D hehehehehehee.


eric is a big bully here. and now i am using her keyboard, oops, i mean his keyboard which is dirtying my fingers as he doesnt clean his keyboard at all. eeeeyerrrr. he owes me alot of things.

1) $50
2) a truck load of white chocolates
3) a red carpet

the list carries on but for the moment i shall shorten it to prevent him from having a heart attack.



okay obviously that wasn't me, that was jessie the slave (WAS the slave till i was unwillingly given her position. no, don't ask how it happened. she's now the untouchable of GTS! =O ) and that $50! i didn't owe her, and that was like DONKEY YEARS ago when she snatched my $50 away and demanded its hers. LOL ooooops jessie.

heh heh heh. just when she thought she wouldn't be subjected to ultility storeroom work again... 5 mins ago i was SUMMONED to move some laptops. then she was summoned too. HAHA. looks like i sabo-ed her by dragging her down with me. gahahahahahahaha.


last saturday i went to the PC Show with my mom in hopes of buying a camera.. of course we got one. the Canon Ixus 860is!

the camera is pretty good, i must say. though the price, at $599, isn't very cheap. gave out some freebies though. a spare battery, 2 4GB SD cards, a card-reader, camera kit consisting of a mini-tripod, lens blower and cleaning tissues for the lens. of course, comes with a nice brown carrying leather case and a camera kit bag.

We're kinda hoping to see more cameras on show there, but i think there was only Sony, Canon, Olympus, Panasonic and Casio? wondered where Nikon and Fujiflim went... a teeny weeny bit regretting not getting the Fujiflim one (i forgot which model; Aiman gave me the URL for that.). It has the same specs, but its 5x zoom compared to my Canon's 3.8x, and its CHEAPER by almost $200. T_T.

But never mind.... Canon is still nice =)

anyway, pictures! last saturday night outing. miniwong, kelvin, EK, joanne and of course ME!

(will post them as soon as i get home.. i've a feeling my colleagues are spying on me blogging. LOL.)

EDIT (again): PICTURES!

hehehehe one of the first pictures i took with the new camera =D MY GUITARRRR.

mini loves to take pictures of my PIMPLES. okay so over here he hasn't learn how to use the zoom....YET.

okay people, take a GOOD look at my pimples now. lol!

don't ask me what they were doing. i have NO idea. EK and kelvin are going crazy, it seems.

eh.... -__-

introducing... M1, MINI WONG MING YANG.

M2! TAN ENG KIAM aka BIG HEAD.

last but not least... M3 KELVIN PAN ZHENGTAO!

so together they'll form one gay boyband.... (insert gay boyband name here pls)

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

we're hanging out for some prata at upper thomson road. i didn't had any as i had nasi lemak before that... kelvin is one fucking big eater; he had a plate of nasi lemak and 1 prata and 1 cheese prata later at upper thomson road. only an hour difference! and he so hungry liao.

wa lau. tsk.
