Yawn... Stuff i did today: Cycle, eat, sleep, read, eat, internet, lan

Boring!!!! Man i need my life back... *looks forward to block leave* but i might have guard duty during block leave... argh...

army = argh! yeah yeah, i felt that i changed a lot myself. I certainly feel that i'm not myself. Maybe i have no time to be myself... hope all will be well after NS or in the future. Whatever... now mostly family, friends, army, bike and internet... hah...

$270 for a giro pneumo... tried searching around for some on the web... but as i calculated that it would be around the same price if delivered here.... argh.... Must wait until POP!!!!! then i can go get my RP as well! =)

actulice pop up is driving me crazy... grr... i need to spring clean my comp!!!

Heh, back again.

Lots have happened during the past week.

Drew my doodling on the bloody cloth... Not really happy with it. Grr... Black rules!

Had my first parade! so fun and cool! Argh... everything must be perfect! Timing, steps, turning, wheeling!!! argh!!!

THen had my swimming test right after the parade rehersal... After 1.5laps i got quite panicky and i can't really breathe. So i have to hold my breath concentrate for the remaining distance... Almost failed there... argh! I need more swimming lessons.

Had Games day today. Well, imagine 2000 people in a parade square, all guys, jumping up and down like mad, scream at the top of their voices. Noisy.

I did the banner for my platoon. I think it's a bloody total disaster! A gentle reminder to self that all the doodle i drew shall always remain small and ONLY on paper. I was truely amazed by the Taurus drill squad. Their circle formation was 'perfect'! Although there were some mistakes here and there, their drill was good! Games day a nice day to slack. OC and sergeants dun care about you, so even if you sleep throughtout the games you might go off scott-free. Should have done that.

Damn tired... cycled for only 15km and i'm dozing off in front of the pc... heck... sleep! gonna type more on my experience in BMT tomorrow afternoon or night. Tomorrow gonna look for a helmet... argh...

Argh!!!!!! had live range last night so ended up booking out today.... And booking in today too.... Plus have to type the commanders appraisal.... argh!!!! no time for own self at all.... OC planning sucks!!! =(

Did i mention that i'm eating a lot? Mostly after lunch in camp, I would munch up on junk food in bunk. When i'm outside yesterday, i ate an upsized chicken whopper meal and a mushroom double swiss burger... Then at home after dinner, curry puff and some muffins... me going fat! I hope my metabolism can digest every thing nicely.

Off to surf the web again!!!

Just watched Sucide Club... R(A)!!! hehe... bro downloaded it... so yeah!

Sick opening... 54 girls held hands together and jumped in front of a train... imagine the blood.... SICK thinking and sick philosophy stuff.... argh... Weird but true stuff that the Japs can think of....

7 more hours to i book in.... bored!! maybe a short nap would do

argh... clement called me last night for dun noe what shit... ask me to arrow someone for guard duty... that bastard!!!!! F*uck him to hell!!! i hate arrowing ppl for this kind of stuff... now i think they're short of one guy... and i have to tell lies to cover up that ass mistake... argh.... why must he drag me down.... ass.... pissed...

Bought Utada Hikaru singles collection vol 1! =)

Discovered that how much i was disconnected from the outside world, especially the natural world, since i went into NS... I sort of neglected the surroundings around me... There were days that i didn't even take a few minutes to have a look at the clouds in the sky and appreciate the beauty that was always above my head... got disconnected from current affairs too. The Nicole highway thingy... Iraqi prisoners been treated like shit in Kuwait... Mum's first trip to overseas in her entire life till now.. Heh, she's going to HK with grandma and aunt =) Well, that is during the week when my bro and i POP out of BMTC.. hehe.. =P Mine's on 4th june, Bro's and 5th June.. Wouldn't encourage my father to go to Tekong for 2 consecutive days!!!

Army seemed to have taken some stuff like my precious time and freedom from me, it has given me stuff in return as well. Well, for instance, i really do not have the voice to scream out loud and would have a bloody sore throat after that. Now, i can SHOUT!!! hehehe..... that's one of the few stuff. Yeah, learnt lots from army!!! Kinda enjoy though!!! But i don't think that a career in army would pop into my mind... maybe in the future? haha... let time tell...

[Note to self]
WTH... say what you want in one post.... you wrote like 3 post continuously?

heh... back for a nice hot shower to relax all my exhausted muscles! =D

A great day in camp today! The last lesson of BCCT was rather good. Heh, the instructor is rather crappy... grr.... Me dun like my legs wide apart and held there for a while... So, bye bye BCCT instructor!!!! hehe....

Then a little swim for divers... yeah yeah, i'm a diver!!!! Improved lots on my freestyle! Ayu and me just keep swimming for an uncountable number of laps.. haha... Ended up swimming past some of the less coordination inclined, hehe =P

threw live grenade!!!!! hehehe!!! DAMN LOUD!!!!!! but the demo for disposing blinds were even louder!! lol.... demo guys really took their time to blow up mines without any protective wear.... WTH.. lol...

Gonna go OCS in the morning tomorrow! then cycling to TEF to change my chains, wheelset and blah blah... I spending lots again.... argh.. still have my shades and helmet to go... broke... later!

can't wait to get my new wheelsets tomorrow!!! dinner....

Soldier down! have to run for 3 secs prone... then run 3 sec and prone to reach him... grr.... then gotta carry causalties here and there!!! lucky my detail have some strong guys.. otherwise, the whole detail would be wiped out by the imgainary sniper...

Saturday, May 01, 2004

checked up on Tim Janis! Here's his website..

Love his music! just bought his latest album recently.... and it costs a whopping $30!!! all because of the import fees.... argh!! his dvds are sold out in singapore!!!!! darn... where can i find them now?

Most of my bunk mates have info on their place in uni... i have got mine yet.... Even if i dun get one, i'll try to go for radiology theraphy course or physiology course at NYP.... then after working for a while, go for a degree later! =) But now i'm like considering even if i get a place in uni..... i would still try physio and throw away the uni chance.... haha... what am i thinking? Why go back to poly? Why it doesn't really matter to me... all it matters is that the decision i make is for my future and interest.... hmm.... will see so later! maybe a little nap before the movie... Zzzz...

just got back from cycling with timothy... have prata for dinner!!!! =P'''

Timothy is crazy.... as i thought leon was crazy..... he's worse!!! lol.... he just zoomed pass everyone on a bloody crowded orchard road. Did wheelies in the middle of it..... jumped here and there, occassionally get "wah!" from kids... heh... 2 years of experience and that's what you'll get...

hope MJ and leon would meet him some day.... his street bike costs around 2k.... his other giant XTC bike i'm not too sure about the price.... and his bike is heavy...argh....

gonna watch kill bill 2 with bro later at night.. so now play ps2!! later!

heh..... no book in day today!!!! *_______* no RT for me tomorrow!!! hehehe.... so i got lots of time to rest for monday's ippt test.... but still... cycle!!!!

back!!! 12 days in camp... 7 days out in field...

Ah... the 7days of fun and joy.... One thing i hate is the throwing out of everything in your bag in 1min and pack everything back in 1 min... and repeating it 3 or mroe time... grr.....

next is the complimentary facial treatment you'll be getting there.... green and black camo cream + dust, sand mud, sweat + powder = super smooth skin (like me =D) or pimple plaqued skin.. hehe...

long 4 is good for protection aganist mosquitoe bites and thorns... the black gortex boots rules!!!! they are bloody comfortable~!!!!! wouldn't mind wearing them for expedition hehe..... And the gortex jacket rocks!!~!~! The government really know what stuff to buy for the soldiers =)

food rations were nice at first. Until you finished half of them, you wouldn't wanna eat them anymore...then variuous creative ideas of desposing them starting zooming into our minds... This was taught by one sergent: When "Stop fire, take cover" hehe... you know what to do....

Field signals are fun!! heheh...... my platoon would start playing around with them at company line for a while till they are bored.....

Then.. "Section! Straight ahead! 50! Behind tree! IC move! ON! Men move! RAID! ON! grenade! charge! Stop fire, take cover! ICE! SPIDER! ORANGE!" comes in, made the lesson rather systematic.. but fun

Slacked, when supposed to practice.... not us that slacked.. it's the segents that slacked with us! lol....shooting spiders... catching spiders and blowing them up with thunderflash.... lol.... small kids sia....

then extra 2 confiments for me... haha... nvm.. let not talk about it... all else i'll get more of it.... grrr....

hehe... found out the a fellow togoparts.com forumer(spelling) was in my platoon! Only found out 2 weeks later! lol..... a small world!!! his nicl is Timoxide... lol.... would be meeting him at TEF tomorrowhtne go orchard have some coffee... while wilson fix up my bike.... maybe i would change the spokes and nipples..... heheh... see how then...

oh well... To sum up, field camp brings out the true self of people when they are bloody exhausted and mentally 'disabled'. It's a test of endurance and mentla strength. Saw some rather disgusting sides of a section mate.... behaving like a spoilt brat... screaming around and throwing stuff just because he's frustrated...hehe... intresting yah? hehe... need to sleep now... gonna cycle tomorrow....
