5 more hours to book in time, lol, its liek bittersweet lah,
i dunno, one side of me wants to go back camp,
but the other tells me that i've much more to do outside.
Oh Fark it. haha.
*
Meeting Reynn l8r for lunch, blardi hell, he is still dolling up,
taking so long......ooi, if u dun hurry up, i wun meet u ah.
I still got things to do ok =P
*
I'm dreadign tomorrow, tomorrow is gonna be a very shiong day,
alot of exercises, alot of runs, most in webbing, helmet and rifle.
But the trainnign is progressive, so i guess its about time i test my
physical endurance once more.
*
Ok, my field pack is officially overloaded, i've crammed everything that is
compressible, squeezable, crammable into all available space in my field pack.
It looks like its gonna explode anytime. Hell.
And ShuQi didn't help by telling me his is only 2/5 full. WTH.
Of course mah, he didnt bring back all his uniform while i did. (-_-)"
*
Ont he positive side, i think next week is gonna be fun again, army training is always fun,
very engaging and all, its just.....tiring. In addition, kiwi-ing ur boots after training
is kinda irritating, cause the mud just gets everywhere.
(-_-)
Ok i'm still waiting for u Reynn, u better hurry up.
*Grr*

Today went down to Beach road to buy loads of
army merchandise meant for IFC next week and field camp
on the following Sat.
*
At first went out with parents, then after lunch with them,
met my army bunk mates (kinda last mnute cause i thought that
they had left, but apprently, they had just finished lunch only).
Shu Qi, Xiang Hui, Eugene and Chong Beng
at Beach Rd complex to buy those things.
The whole complex was literally over runned with Botak recruits,
most came with their army buds, while most went with their
Girlfriends, lol, it was so chaotic, so hot...the stall aunties were having a tough
time keeping track of all the transactions.
*
After buying all our shite, we headed down to Bugis and took a train down to
Orchard to meet Nelsonn and his Girlfriend. WTH!, his GF is super
*hur hur* but i will not elaborate on further, for fear of Nelson's
huge triceps. haha.
I've checked my account and woohoo! The army has already banked in my FIRST
ever SALARY! I think its quite a sum for 2 weeks of exercise. haha
*
Walked over to Cine with the rest in our Botak heads (i wore a cap, so it wasn't
so bad). Empowered with our new pay,
all of us, except Eugene bought for ourselves new Caps
to shield our Botakness from the eyes of the public.
Luckily, we didn't buy the same caps, if not we'll all
look like gay chao recruits. Initially, XH wanted to, for "Section Integrity"
hahaha. He was promptly silenced.
I bought meself a Black Addidas cap, woohoo, at least i dun have to walk around
looking as if i just escaped from Mandai zoo.
*
Coincidentally, i met two people today, Wei Ting and Vera.
Wei Ting was only interested
in seeing my monkey hairdo, so she got her wish,
but Vera was more subdued, haha, apprently shes leaving tomorrow for Aussie
to further her studies. Lol, so i guess its a good thing for me to
meet her one last time. Hope she does well over there. =)
*
Biang eh, the problem is, when i met them by accident, all my army buds
keep saying "Wah, your GF ah, Eh! Not Bad ah!"
-_-
Farking despos. Hahha.
*
While walking down Orchard road with my Scorpion Coy peeps,
we walked past the Lions Victory Parade, woot, we were the only idiots
clapping lah, but i guess its about time that the Lions got some recognition.
*
Tomorrow booking in for another 2 weeks of confinement, wkend burnt cos of
Field Camp, but i guess it will be fun lah. =)
Electronic range on tuesday i think, cannot wait!!
*
I was packing my field pack just now, so many blardi things to squeeze
into one field pack so i was kidna surprised that the seams didn't burst,
but i hope it wun, if not i'll be f**ked upside down by Suhaimi
(my Platoon Sergeant and section commander)
Gonna meet the whole sect 1 dudes tml for dinner at Pasir Ris b4 we fall
in to take the slow ride back to Tekong.
Oh wells, gonna sleep now, take care everyone!
And enjoy your freedom! Hahaha.
*
BTW have i mentioned that one of the bunks in my platoon has TWO tables
completely plastered all over by FHM cut outs? It seemed that our predecessors
had in place a very good Anti-Gay measure. Hahahahha. =)
And yes, FHM is legal in Tekong, its time the guys hit the books. *Grinz*
*
Till i blog again, Cheerios everyone!

Ok, this past 2 weeks have been a very tough yet enjoyable 2 weeks for me,
in this 2 weeks, i have learnt much more about myself than i have
over the past few years,
i maged to push my physical limits and carry on despite
my physical boundaries, i ran with all my life, cried tears of pain,
and endured countless barrage of words from my Sergeants. But it is only the
beginning, somehow, i know it will only get tougher from now on,
for example, next monday, we'll be doing strength trainning in
full SBO plus rifle. SHIONG!
Just ST w/o SBO is tough enough, but with SBO and Rifle, its gonna be
alot more worse.
Here is a rough recap of my 2 weeks thus far.
*
Day 1 : Woke up early int he morning to prepare my transition,
packed my bags, ironed my clothes and stared hard at myself in the mirror,
applied hair gel for the last time as a civilian and
left the house with a tinge of regret. Took the fast craft from SAFFT
and arrived at Tekong just on time, whereby we were further seperated into our
companies. I got posted to Scorpion Coy, one of the best companies in
the whole of BMTC, so i was kinda happy.
Then the whoel lot of us adjourned to the Auditorium to take our
Oath of Allegiance, something which i had been waiting to do for a
very long time. =P
Had dinner with my family at the Cookhouse before my parents and brother left.
My section bunk mats are not bad lah, all very crappy and funny. haha.
Cut hair and starred at myself int he mirror.
GOD, i LOOKED LIKE A FRIGGIN MONKEY.
*
Day 2 : Filled up more forms, kinda slack day actually...nothing much happened.
Day 4: Issued with my arms and had the whoel Arms presentation ceremony done at ngiht
in front of the monument, beautiful sunset i must add.
Tekong has nice sceneries, especially during sunrise and sunset.
day 5 - 12 : Basically right after that, everyday felt roughly the same,
lots of running int he morning, lots of exercise, lots of pumping,
but its all worthwhile.
Day 12 : book out day, was so happy but we had very little time to pack our
things so int he end, the entire section just dumped all our clothes
into our field pack w/o much folding. Lol, the moment we reached mainland,
it felt liek heaven. Haha, Tekong air smells decidedly different from Singapore Air.
REALLY!
*
Booking in on Sunday ngiht, thereafter another 2 weeks of confinement,
cause of FIELD CAMP! From next Sat till the following Friday,
we'll be int he deepest jungles of Pulau Tekong, roughing it out.
Its gonna be fun but tiring also, that ic an be sure
*
Oh well, nothing much to blog about lah, just cannot wait for Field Camp and IMT.
Hehehe.
Kulua Baris!

Well, it all boils down to this, in exactly 5 hours, i will be taking my
Oath of Allegiance to Singapore.
I will step out of my boundaries as a civillian and
step forth into a new phase in my life,
I will no longer be a boy, but at the end of my journey,
in the eyes of society i will have changed into a man.
*
This past year of 2004 has been a tremendously hard year as
it was a learning year as well.
In it, i gained new friendships, lost precious ones,
and reconciled with old friends. But most importantly,
itr was a year of new knowledge and new life experiences for me.
*
Today, as i will take the slow trip out of home towards the
SAF Ferry Terminal at Changi, i will look towards the sky and admire
its beauty one last time as a normal civillian,
i will smell the air of the mainland and take in the breeze all the while
reminicising about my life thus far.
*
In the space of one and a half years in JC,
i've come across so many people from diverse walks of life,
diverses perspective thats comes packaged with diverse personalities as well.
It sure has been one hell of a road trip for me, as much as it was a
great learnign experience.
1T33/2T33 '03/'04
My first and only class in CJC, at first i was apprehensive having come from SA,
i thought i wouldn't fit in since everyone looked so un-fun,
but hell was i wrong, not ony have i witnessed our class grow from
a disjointed group of students, to one of the most united class i;ve been in
to date. We had our fun times, we had our down times, we slogged together
and we played together. Sure, we may not have as many class outings,
or as many awards, but one thing is for sure,
we sure had eachother for company. =)
29th CJCSC
29CJCSC, you dudes and dudettes rocked my world.
We may have fought among ourselves,
disagreed, but nothing beats the fact that we are one united council.
Joining council was and still is, the one thing that i'll never
regret doing in my life.
=)
*
Along the way, i made many precious friends.
You all know who you all are. =)
*
Orientation 2005 was well, a blasting success i would say.
But at the end of it, i didn't feel as happy as i thought i would,
somehow i felt sadness, regret and well, generally i didn't feel
all that good about myself.
*
To you, the one that slipped away.
i really regret not getting your number, i should have when i could have.
But i played with fate and asked for too much.
Oh well, i hope i do get to see you again.
*
TO BTWQ,
Just before i go army, i just want to say a big thank you
for making 2 and a half years of my life memorable and wonderful.
I hope the memories we shared will not be forgotten as it will not
be by me.
I wish you all the best in your Poly life and may we one day, meet again.
*
To all other readers of my blog,
though i do not know who you all are, but i do recognise the fact
that you all still come in often to read
(eversince i installed the counter, till then,
i never realised so many people actually read my blog)
*
So now, as i approach the threshold of my teenage life, i will
step out bravely and face what is ahead of my path.
I will look forward and strive hard for the glory of my Family name
and to the future of my being.
Till then dear friends and all, i bid you farewell.
=)

Leaving on a Jet plane
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn'
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Ahha ahha
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
but tell him that they don't mean a thing
Every place I go I’ll think of you
Every song I sing I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
by the times that I won't have to say
Oh kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
But I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
But I'm leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
Leaving on a jet plane
On a jet plane

Till Then, Cheerios everyone....

Alroght, so the next year has dawned and i'm about 3 dqays late with this post, but i guess its ok, cos better late than never right?
Well, Tekong time in about 6 more days, absolutely cannot wait, been training very hard physically for my enlistment and i must say i feel stronger now.
Actually, i really don't knwo what to blog about, perhaps, the year 2004 has been one of the most traumatising one and hell am i glad thta it is finally over.
So many things happened in 2004 that changed my life, relationships, studies, family, friends, all the problems just kept piling up till i literally broke down under all the pressures.
But its all over, at least i know for now. Whats next you say?
NS.
I just hope my ride into NS will be a smooth one. I pray and i hope.
Happy new Year everyone.
