what the heck!!!

Whats that bar thingy of "Bloggy" doing above my poster??

*toot*

It messes my template! Looks like i have to re-touch on my template...

So hows life?

Humm... Lots of things happened. Looking upon my last blog post (refer to below), its quite some time i blogged. So what happened last week (Aug 22)? Well, i was stuck in my camp for an entire day! That was what happened!

We call this, "Confinement".

I got to stay one more day at camp washing toliets (Dirty toliets!!!) and slack at bunk.

Haiz... super slack man.

But just felt that the day was so easily wasted! I should be at the streets of Singapore roaming!!

*sigh*

But thats over now.

Did Sit Test at Camp. And lots of SOC and IMT. (Don't bother me about the names... Its classified...) Quite relaxed... Since my POP aka the timer that i leave "Little Green Island" (refer to timer above, 'Currently... bananas..') is geting nearer and nearer to the Big O (zero). Pardon me for the "chim chim" English, its just that i have been reading a great book and it made me quite "Englishy". I have to spend my extra English capabilities somewhere! Otherwise i would just become another 'Singlish' army boy...

Apart from the tedious events, there was some numerous conflicts in my platoon.

Made me really wonder...

What makes us so heated up?

Solutions.
Different solutions.
Each solutions have their own pros and cons.

But which solution is the best?

I guess this have to depend on the situation and the victim. Why i would say that the person who chooses the solution a victim? It is because they have to bear their own consequences of the road that they choose. But as everyone have their own solution to the problem, they would like to bear the fruit that they choose. Each one thinking that they are right in their own way.

But whats the use of a solution?

To solve a problem. But if it causes more problems, why choose that solution?

This may sound lame, but what i really think is that everyone should always learn to pause everytime that they feel that something is unfair or unjust. What causes such an event? We should try and learn a lesson from it. If the event affects everyone, you should voice out. If it occurs only to us, we should accept it as it is in the most positive way.

Does that make me heartless or cold?

I don't think so, i'm a person who feels pain and sorrow too. Just that i don't express it as it is.

Everyone should be happy.

We cried when we were born. Can't we die laughing?

Laugh.

We need it. Everyone in the world is suffering. Can't we just take time off to enjoy that small minute of laughter?

Laugh.

Got this story from an email. I think this is a great story...






A girl and guy were speeding over 100 mph on the road...

Girl: Slow down. Im scared.

Guy: No this is fun.

Girl: No its not. Please, its 2 scary!

Guy: Then tell me u love me.

Girl: Fine, I love u. Slow down!

Guy: Now give me a BIG hug.

*Girl hugs him*

Guy: Can u take my helmet off &put it on? Its buggin me.

In the paper the next day: A motorcycle had crashed into a building because of break failure. 2 ppl were on it but only 1 survived.

The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realizd that his breaks broke, but he didn't want 2 let the girl know. Instead, he had her say she loved him &felt her hug 1 last time, then had her wear his helmet so that she would live even though it meant that he would die

send this to everyone you love, the ones who know you love them and the ones who don't. for you see, no one really knows what tommorow holds in store for you. you might not live to see the next day. and sometimes you have to tell someone something, but run out of time to do so. so take five minutes out of your time to tell someone you love them because you really never know if this is the last day of your life. so start sending this e-mail and stop wasting any more time







Got to go out and hung out with my Bert, Snoz, Zeon and HamHam. Talked cock as we ate Thai Express and CoffeeBean. It was great. Its like time has stopped as we talked nonsensically. It was fun. Maybe we have more laughters ahead of us.

Recently noticed that i have been only hanging out with my poly clubmates. I need to socialise more. Miss lotsa friends. Like my juniors from Outram, my church friends, my Chinese Orchestra mates... I need to interact more!!

I'm going to book in le...

Well... It was great to be out again for a day...

Though it was only a simple 24 hours(not really... but rounded up) of freedom, it was great to touch mainland ground!

*hoho*

What did i do today?

Well... It was basically a simple drill of nuahing...

1. wake up at noon time
2. switch on computer
3. wait for brunch
4. slack computer
5. wait for book in

whoa... life couldn't get much simpler than this...

Anyway, during the field camp i got lots of interesting thingies...

let me tell ya...

At the starting of the camp, i wasn't really expecting much. Since it was only a 7 day Field Camp. But the trouble starts coming when i dug my first shit hole to shit in...

Oh my goodness...

I cannot shit man... Its too freaking cold at my butt!

Its a looonnnggg time that i exposed my butt to air to just shit. Usually i just face my butt to a constructed toliet bowl. Its such a new excitment man... Everyone should try it once in a while...

Then after the shitting, try and dig more soil to cover your "uhh..." wastes.

Whoa kaoz...

Tiring man...

Thats only half of the story.

I actually have a sleeping partner that snores like there is no tomorrow! Sorry buddy.. But i really need to say it. U snore like the thunders of a weather, a speeding MRT, a crashing taxi and a person playing those freaking "Bishi Bashi Machines" combined together.

But i still slept through it. Why? Because my freaking mental mind tells me if i complain and whine relentlessly about your snoring, it would be useless. Because its a physical condition that no one can ever understands. Its like why humans have 2 eyes. No one knows why. But some people just have it. I snore too... So i dun whine much about it... I'm just writing about it in my blog to explain that its quite difficult to co-sleep with a partner that snores... So buddy ah.. If u read this, dun explain to me... Its useless...

The sleeping part is covered, so what else can i complain about? The food? Well... Actually the food was great. SAF seems to care about hungry soldiers, so they keep giving us combat rations that seem to be able to feed millions. Whoa liao.. But the millions of people must be taste-budless, cause the combat ration they gave us, HALF suxx... Yup. And if you are a lazy person, you confirm will die from ther ration. You need to change the combat ration menus with other people! Don't try eating "Glutunious Rice" for 7 days! Although it tastes great, but consecatively eating it for 7 days will make you sick of it... Its like eating Macdonalds..

Bleah~

Nothing can compare to Macdonalds... They suxx...


After all these kind of shitty stuff (Lousy food, difficult environment of sleep, shitting shit...), i actually slimmed down again! Oh darn... I though i would grow fatter from all the biscuits and stuff that i eat from the combat rations.. Maybe everyone that wants to slim down should try going army once in a while to slim down...

*keke*

Its been said that only through hardship that one can get enlightenment. What have i learnt from all these ding dongs?

1. Always eat when hungry
2. Drink when thirsty
3. Speak cock. really.. It makes time flies
4. Be puntual. Everyone likes a punctual person.
5. Appreciate the surrounding views. Cause you might be standing on a shit hole that was used before.

Yup. But really, i think that roughly sums up what i need to say. Everyone needs to appreciate LIFE as it comes and go. Regardless its a shithole that needs to be dug or a co-sleeper that snores. When its over, at least you can proudly say,

"Hey... I endured it through man.."

So no matter what kind of problems one have, try and endure it with a smile. Because LIFE will get you through. And at the next resting point, you will enjoy its labour..
finished! haha...

i'm now 1/2 a soldier!!!

*haha*

*blink* *blink*

Well.. i have not POP yet lah... But i have completed my 7 days of Field Camp!

Hoho...

It had been the most enduring, pain-renching, sweatish, shaggish camp i have ever been.

I will talk no more about the camp. Cause its kindna confidential. But all i can say is that i truly enjoyed my field camp. Though there was lots of factors that make it grittingly painful and unendurable,

1. No correct sleeping environment. (Sleep on natural environment leh...)
2. Everytime have to wear clumsy attire. (no.4 and helmet and SBO)
3. My buddy snores...
4. People around me are crazy!!!
5. The sergents are lunatics...
6. We do ridiculus drills...

Well... i guess these pointers can roughly tell how nuts and bananas my camp was...

Dun blame me... i'm very shag now.. i'm just typing this blog post as i wait for my clothes get washed from my washing machine!~

oh... how i miss blogging...

Back from my movie experience. And also my Steamboat-cum-watch-fireworks with CSCC buddies...

M. Night Shyamlan's "The Village" was screened at Shaw: Parco Bugis Junction...

Overall comment about the phone booking of Shaw: It Sucks! i would rather bring both my legs to the ticket counter and stretch my ears listening to the ticket seller than listen to the "dumb dumb" fake-y American accent the robotically speaks, "The movie *toot* T..eee V..Lage, please press 01". What the hell... Please lah... I would prefer someone saying, "The movie hor, De Vicage, press 01 lor...", in my face then the stupid dumb dumb robotical voice. Can someone with a creative mind of Technological powers please assist Shaw! thanks...

Apart from the booking, i was very satisfied with the cinema. Very very dark! cannot see the five fingers of my own hand unless there is a show screening! So i think its quite good for couples that wanna hanky panky in there...

Okok.. here is the best part. The movie review!

The movie's background opens as a 1800+ village where the villagers speak very good proper English and they have very good proper behaviours... If you were a Literature student, its like straight out from the storybook, "The Crucible". Its quite frightening... as the story keeps telling of, "The creatures that are not to be mentioned".

The fright level of the story is quite good. "Jumps" here and there thru the show. I got kindna freaked out at some times as the tension is so f***ing there...

*Argh*

Its good. But too bad the tension isn't quite much. And there are too many characters in the start that make you confused. Unlike the Director's previous show where there are like a few characters...

Overall, the movie is great. Typical of the Director to have a twist... but the twist... is just so interesting...

So i would like to thank Junz for accompanying me to the movies... thanks brudder... u r the best brudder anyone would have.. haha...

The Steamboat dinner at Marina was great. Met a number of year1s. Talked nonsensically to them. As i was in a better mood, i managed to crap myself through the whole session of makaning...

Zhicheng got quite entertained by me... Humm... He always seems so intrigued by my behaviours...

*haiz*

Then the other juniors, like Chris, Kristie, Jason, Wilson and his GF are so "colded" by my jokes... I think they really had no appetite to eat... Maybe they wanted to shoft to the next tables....

After the heavy meal, we moved to the Marina's open field and had our time watching the Fireworks....

*whoa~*

Never thought that fireworks were so beautiful 'Live'.... Better than those on TV.

The whole day was filled with many meetings with friends old and new. And it was great to end off with the fireworks...

Friendships are like Fireworks.
Though they never last forever, they are always beautiful at its peak.
May Friendships burn high and beautiful!

Saw some of the year2s quite troubled. Some may have happy faces and joking ard and watever, but most of them are quite disturbed... Haiz... Welcome to year2... No more year1s where u have no worries... All i can do is be there and listen to u guys and gals.... so call me wor... haha... take lotsa cares and dun fret too much. Banana is always here!~

Now, i'm feeling great. Did so much things in one day! And by the way, Happy 39th National Day Singapore! and Everyone too~
Going to Beach Road later to buy my stuff for Field Camp.

Ahh.... Feeling great. Must be because of my visit to the Church... have not slept since the last post. The only thingy is that my body itches now and then...

There will later be a Steamboat gathering @ Marina Bay. Should i go?

Haiz.. Don't know lah...

Will see how the movie going with Junz after my trip to Beach Rd goes... Going to watch "The Village"! Since everytime i don't get to watch the latest movies... i have to just watch it when opportunity comes... I still wanna watch "Spiderman 2"!... guess i have to watch it on DVD....

(-_-)~
i just woke up.

yup. If u are going "what the hell..... its 2.39am now!". Cannot help it. After i blogged my previous entry, and after some doodling around, i actually fell asleep on my bed.

That was around 6pm. So that makes around 8 hours of sleep.

"7 hours of sleep makes a healthy soldier."

Thas what they teach in SAF. But too bad, i'm not getting any healthier from my 8 hours sleep. I'm still coughing, sneezing and coughing. haiz...

Woke up feeling very lost. (and abit itchy at my armpits too... must be the weather..) I immediately switched on my computer and logged into the exciting world of Internet~

Must try and connect with people over the Net. Its a long time since i talked to other people that is outside of the "Little Green Island". i need a life...

Talking about needing a life, i kindna flashbacked onto my past few book outs...

Most of the time, i spend my time going out and meeting friends. Then, i felt abit bored soon after that. Why? I don't think that i'm actually enjoying most of them. What do we actually do? Eat, movie, walk and more walk. Its true that thats what friends normally do when they are free. But i don't feel satisfied. I need more. I need something else. Haiz...

I think i had this kind of feeling before. Its like i need an objective in my life to feel comfortable. I think maybe its because i miss out the activities in CSCC. What am i trying to say?

OKay. In the past, when i was in CSCC, i at least had a position to help out events and do stuff with friends. From there, i make friends and have friends. I felt comfortable hanging out with them. As we had topics to talk about. CSCC. Then we even meet every now and then to talk about CSCC stuff, or even work hand in hand over some projects. Now that our common link in CSCC is gone and passed to the younger generations. I suddenly felt lost. I need something to link me to some group of people!

*sigh*

i need to do community service~ Haiz... Cannot help it. Its in my blood. I need to do good. Then it makes me feel good. Haiz. But since i'm so busy with my "Little Green Island", i just can't spare myself for Community Service.

*argh*

Nowadays, most of my friends are either attached or busy with work. Its true that i can still go out with them, but still... i feel very akward going out with them. They either go "hanky panky", or they go 'frequency'....

*haiz... *

Maybe its just me and my self-confidence. I need some time. And time is all i need now...

as i munch my biscuits and drink thy milk... i'm feeling kindna "sianz".

Haiz...

Cannot help ah... Various events had happened this week. (Just like every other week. Since i only have the weekends to tell about it.) I have made a decision to stay clear from someone. Apart from that emotional decision, quite a number of stuff that really suxx happened..

1. I flunked my IPPT(Indiviual Physical Fitness Test) again!
2. My platoon got f***ed a numerous times during the week.
3. Half of my platoon mates are sick.
4. I'm sick!

Well... Let's do the events by number.

I flunked my IPPT(Indiviual Physical Fitness Test) again!

Yup. I really thought i could do 6 pull-ups to pass the bloody IPPT. But eventually, it turns out that my 6th pull-up got counted as a "kick". As the famous term used by our platoon sergent, "SUCK THUMB ah...!"

yeah. So, i guess i have to work hard on my armpower. As for the other stations in my IPPT, i did quite well. Either scoring a 4 pointer or a 5 pointer(That means very good ah...). My 2.4 Km run was great as i did my 10.24 min quite easily.

But i didn't pass just because of my F***ed up pull-up.

Haiz...

Looks like i need to work hard at it.

My platoon got f***ed a numerous times during the week.

Either me and my platoon were born in other planet, or they just don't know how good the sergents and commanders treat us...

As the topic described itself, the whole week was filled with events which we fumbled into lazy bums and got screwed by our sergents and commanders inside, outside then inside again. Till they were tired and they just gave up.

Alamak... how to survive the upcoming Field Camp? Fortunately, the platoon was smart enough to think straight that we become much 'nicer' for the past few days.

Fortunately... But who knows what can happen during Field Camp? I don't dare to think. When everyone is shag and too tired to think, what kind of foolish acts can the platoon do?

Half of my platoon mates are sick.

My platoon strengh is 48. The max number of people that reported sick for this week was 24. Yup! Its like some kind of mysterious virus that is seeping into everyone's bed when we were sleeping. Everyone is SICK! haiz... *cough* *cough*

And that brings me to another topic...

I'm sick!

Yeah. I think i'm having some throat virus. Its sore everytime i speak, sing, swallow or even whistle. Freaking hell... There was this night that i was at my bed wanting to listen to some sweet voice of a female counterpart as i was really quite fed up with my sore throat. Then there was no one to call to! what the F***....

*Argh*

Fortunately, got my grandD-Ndrea to call to when i'm sick... haiz... gave me some consolence....

If you are wondering why the hell i need a female counterpart's voice to calm me down... well... the reason is quite simple. All Mothers are female. When a person listens to a female voice, it calms them down as it reminds them of their Mother. (Don't play play... i read this from a psychological book before...)

So these were the F***ing thingies that happened this week. I'm quite shag now. And my throat is still sore now and then. Haiz... I need rest. Woke up in the middle of last night just to pee... what the F***. Broke my sleep mah...

*please pardon Eustace for the F*** language. Its due to the current environment that this victim is under constant use of the vulgar language.

Relief is good.

Good it is to be relieved.

Phew~~
