Another weekend coming to an end....

Oh well.... here i am again... booking in tonight at 2115.....
Been having quite a long weekend le.... so long that i am beginning to miss civilian life..... diao....

Maybe explain abit how come i got long weekend.... i booked out this week on thursday afternoon... and the reason is not paying us back the weekend or what (as i mentioned in my last entry...), it's to facilitate the first ocs cross-over... those selected will get a call on friday.... and they have to book in at night to pack their stuffs... and move to OCS on saturday morning...

And well... on friday night... i was playing pool with wk and his friends.....

Abit disappointed.... but well... life still goes on.... anyway still got a 2nd chance.... see how ba....

Well...actually quite disappointed lar.... because this shows that my BMT performance sucks.... and the 2nd cross over is much harder lor... think IPPT counts quite abit... and my IPPT sucks... manage to pass only... now aiming for silver.. but my SBJ abit cannot make it....
But still.. try my best ba.... see how lor.....

Actually... at this point.... i got type alot of stuffs one... but i dono why suddenly everything just disappeared... think i pressed something wrong... and now got to re-type.... lucky i got publish bit by bit... or else i think i will cut this entry very very short le....

Anyway... was just saying i seem to yearn for stuffs not quite within my reach.... like maybe going OCS...... or even going for university....

I didn't apply for SIM.. because i didn't really accept it as a university.... and i was thinking all along that i should be able to somehow get lucky and enter either 1 of the 3 mainstreasm university.....
But guess i was wrong.... and well.. now seems like SIM is my only choice left....
This decision is also abit affected by my relatives... and my tu-er.... my cousins did encourage me to try SIM... and for my tu-er's case.... she seem ok with SIM.... like it's something that she expected.... like it"s just another institution she will attend to continue studying.... like it's within her range....
This somehow reminded me of myself.... am i expecting too high of myself? Am i aiming so high that it make me feel uncomfortable with settling for something lower?
This is something like how i actually don't qutie like SISPEC.. because i have been expectging myself to get into OCS..... can still remember i was abit disappointed that i entered SISPEC.... and now cannot cross over....

But i guess... i should keep on aiming high... or else i will just stay stagnant.... and be comfortable with everything.... then i will never improve.....
I guess that's why man continued to dream on despite having so much....

Kkz... think enough blabbering liao... do a quick recap of how i spent this week....

This week is rather slack... or should i say... very slack.... didn't have any xiong exercise... only got a 5km run.. which i find it no kick liao... AOC and COC... my company only did the COC because of the rain... and i didn't take part because i was on OP3...
So basically... slacked the whole week....
Forgot to mentioned... had a happy hour on Tuesday evening.... basically we had to set everything up at the MPH... then got a performance each from each platoon... then we had buffet for dinner... and 1 person is entitled to 2 tiger beer.... but i don't drink beer... and the think the comapny people really displayed the typical Singaporean attitude.. once they say can eat... almost all chiong towards the table... take alot in their plate... i waited till the end not much queue then went to take.... and there's no more crackers le.... basket... it's meat for the curry one lor... then the people just take and take.... haiz....
And our happy hour really proved to be an hour only... because suddenly got some ABSD people come to want us do survey.... then we had to cut short the fun and go do the surveys... all the ranking and stuffs... haiz... oh well... army life... can't expect too much....

Then after booking out on Thursday... didn't do much... stayed home to wash my clothes... and also went to get new spectacle frames... the frame of my 2 spectacle broke liao... the chiong sua one is because the helmet keep pressing on it... then the go out spectacle broke for no reason in the middle... i had to use my contact lenses in camp for 2 days because of that....
Luckily... manage to find a new frame for my go out spectacle... a black matt frame for $70.. and they helped me fixed my lense over on the spot...
For the chiong sua one... couldn't find a cheap and suitable one... so i left the whole spectacle with them... then they help me find.... but up till now still no news... maybe go check with them later....

For Friday... also did nothing much.... stayed home for the whole day... then went to play pool with WK at night... then bought a new sling bag while waiting for him at Parkway... then after that played with him and his camp friends at Inter-world... a placce near to parkway there... i played not very well... but i can conclude that i am still better than his friends... played till 2200 plus...then go home le....

For Saturday... went for a Kbox session with WK and KL.... the rest all either still in camp... or booking out late... so only the 3 of us....
I went abit late... because i went to Ubi driving center to book my driving lessons to prepare for my test on 100905... the internet booking dono why cannot book... so got to go there to book... and since it's on the way.... i just went in to book.. then go join them...
Had quite an enjoyable session... becuase less people... then can sing alot more... and i found another song which i can sing well and it suits my tone... Zhang Yu's "chen zhao".... haha.... the first few are Andy Lau's songs....
After that... we went to play pool at the pool center next to the Kbox.... signed up as a member for $1... on the spot get the card... Woodball Association.... though the table and balls inside should be much better since it's a members only place.... but the stuffs turn out to be not very good as well.... the ball and table all quite lousy... sian....
And i guess... as a result... my performance especially suck that day.... think it's also because i didn't feel like playing pool too.... we played triple threat... and it's like most of the time i am loosing... and arranging the balls....WTH...
Come to think of it... i started playing pool earlier than both of them.... but now it end up their skills sort of surpass me liao.... the problem with me is that sometimes i have the feel... sometimes i don't.... so very inconsistent performance...
When i get the feel.... can play very well... surpass most of them..... but when no feel... really sucks.... hit no ball one....think my performance is also affected by the place.... good place+good table+good cue+good balls makes me play better... because like more professional.... like the pool centers in Parkway.... but the pool centers at Hougang... ermm... well... i can't play well there... because honestly... the stuffs there sucks...
After the pool session... nothing on liao... because everyone can't seem to come to an agreement on what to do.... so in the end.... i went home le... to watch the 1900 - 2100 Hong Kong drama... think the english name is call "Love again".... quite a nice drama... and anyway that is the only one i can catch.. since it's on Saturday and Sunday....
And after that.... "tian long ba bu".... haha.... watch TV all night.... can't blame me... i don't get to watch any in SISPEC...

And finally... today.... this morning went to paly basketball with YS,KL,JK,Alvin lim and Caleb.... WK pang seh... and i can't get the Generals disc from him... and so can't play it now... because my brother reformatted the computer... and i lent my copy to Mr LDJ.... who haven't return me since BMT....
Had quite a good game.. 3 on 3 half court .... and finally... i can say i played quite well today.... got score... got get passes.. got get rebounds... but always can't block Calebs shot.... but at least from this sessions... i learnt more stuffs and tricks... haha.... next time i can play better liao...
At the end.. played 1 on 1 with KL... but he seem very tired.. and not concentrating... so honestly... i won him quite easily.... think he tired out le.....
After that... went for lunch at Hougang point.... and after that... i suddenly feel like playing Daytona... but becuase got some kids still playing... i played "Time Crisis 3" with KL (who by the way.... didn't return me money for the game... because we used my card...)
Anyway.. i think the game waste money only... because i didn't really like to play it... and the gun like not very sensitive.... i died very fast... then after playing the game... KL left with JK to borrow some stuffs from JK... and i waited for awhile for my turn at the Daytona....
From the way i see it... the kids playing the advance stage are using turbo like nobody's business.... very unprofessional leh....
And i was very happy after playing the advance stage... because my "bao dao wei lao".... got 2nd out of 40 computers... without using any turbo.... all based on my skills..... the 1st car was like just infront of me a little bit only.... but still.. i quite satisfied with my performance liao.... haha....
After that... went home.. and basically did nothing liao... just watch TV... and blogged... while waiting for my book in time....

Basically.. that's about it for this week... think i go prepare my dinner liao... eat earlier better.... so see ya next week ~~~

Back... and gone soon... very fast....

Booking in in another 1 hour plus.. so can only blog abit...

Anyway.. just to continue the story... the day i last book in... last Thursday... fever still not down.. went to report sick again... then got MC again... so book out again...
Basically... i booked in to book out...
And so... got my parents to fetch me home...

This time.. didn't eat the MO's medicine...don't trust them anymore... and also.. they give me 1 big pack of anti-biotics... and i quite dislike eating too much anti-biotic...

Oh well... then started eating alot of chinese medicine.... my parents bought some for me from ChinaTown.... but eat already still not very useful.... my temperature fluctuate alot... rise and drop and rise again.... in the end go see my family doctor....
Even he say the MO in Tekong are not very good... from the way they give the medication... the first time i went and i didn't recover... the 2nd time round they just gave me a stronger dosage...
But well... can't really blame them... new birds can't fly high....
The Doctor gave me MC till Sunday.. but i decide to forgo it... because there is a test on Saturday... so better to take it....

So finally... i booked in.. well enough to carry on with light duties.... was sent to my platoon's campsite immediately... then help to man the signal sets and stuffs... did some helping around....then the next day set back to camp with them in the morning...
After that... we did some surveys after lunch.... some surveys.. for 4 hours!!!!
It was like just surveys after surveys..... and peer appraisals..... do until siao~~~~

But well.. after that... and some major area cleaning.... we finally get to book out... at around 1900 plus..... just to see our transportation kena "kope" by Delta Company....and i still see Mr John the first 1 to rush up the bus.... idiot....
Haiz... what to do... Number 1 welfare comapny in SISPEC... we are nothing compared...

But finally get our tonner... then booked out... and well.. didn't do much... went home eat dinner and sleep.... quite tired... because i did shifts with another guy in maning the signal set the whole night....
And anyway.. today also nothing on... no basketball.. no kbox... everybody don't seem enthu to go out....

So... went out with my parents today... ate dim sum for breakfast at IMM... then shop around... bought stuffs.... then came home to rest.. and prepare for book in...

That's about it today....
By the way.. think my company booking out this thursday night... think they are paying back to us... because some company get to book out on Friday after their Wanderer... we booked out Saturday all the way....
But i also not comfirm whether this is true or not.... hope so lar.... then can use my free movie tickets next week.... haha...

One more thinhg....I have fully recovered!!!!
Now can kill again~~~ haha.... oh well...

Got to go eat my dinner le... so long~~~

Ta da~~~ surprised?

Today is a Thursday... and how come i can blog?
In case you are wondering.... there is no internet connection in Tekong island or SISPEC... i think... or at least we have no acess to it...

Oh well.... i'm out on Attend C.... got high fever...again... booked out yesterday night.... and going back today... in the evening....

Yesterday was the start of my summary Exercise.. CatWalk... but on Tuesday i already got fever liao.. 38.6.... then took Panadol to sleep upon the advise of my COS.... then the next morning was feeling ok... 37.1.....

But upon reaching our camp site.... start to don't feel well again... and i rested for the day mission because my section has extra people...
The plan was to let me rest first.. then i take the night mission... then after that i can go report sick or something le....
But while resting... my LPS asked me to go help dig the toilet hole.... and after digging.... began to feel quite hot already... went to take my temperature.... 39.1.... immediately went to sleep for awhile... hope to recover better for the night mission...

But well.. no chance liao... dono why suddenly my PC called me over... then took my temperature..38.1.... then after that tell me to go report sick...
So well.. there goes my assessment for cross-over le.... but lucky my Section commander told me that they can also use the daily trainings as assessment... but somehow or rather... i think my marks won't be that high as well...well... also not much choice liao...just hope that my SOC can be a contributing factor.... 8.33 leh... i am still very proud of it.... haha...

My OC sent me to the Medical Center personally in his rover.... and seriously.... i tihnk i would have been better off going back to bunk to rest....
I waited for dono how many hours before i get to see the damm MO... and the medics there are damm XL... same rank as me.. but have to guai lan me... just because i asked how to put on the damm mask.... wa lao... ask cannot arh...
By the way.. when i took my temperature there.. it was 38.7...

Then after seeing the doctor for like 5 minutes... i waited about another hour to get me medication... and the corporal medic also guai lan me again... just because i didn't report my rank and name and any drug allergy... there was a sign there asking patients to do so... but the stupid medic like cannot open the mouth one... when i reach.. and didn't say anything.. looked at him.. and he looke dat me....then he pointed at the sign....
I was like so bloody sick and feeling terrible... he cannot just ask me for the information... damm basket.....
And after that... i think i waited around 45 minutes just to get my status slip....

Throughout the waiting time... i began to feel more and more cold... think it's because i am getting more sick... or the air con in the Medical Center is lowered...

After that even more jia lat.... i had to walk so far to the waiting point for the tonner to send me back to SISPEC... and waht makes matter worst... i waited around 1 hour plus for the tonner to come.... really sick until cannot make it liao... keep resting while waiting....

Finally.. back to company line... then quickly went up to my bunk to pack my stuffs... and off i go... called my parents to come fetch me... no choice... really very "nan shou"....

So now... here i am... whole day stayed at home to rest... cannot go out.. becuase if the COS called me to check... then i will kena SOL... so well... anyway i am still feeling sick and weak... can't go out anyway....
And this only shows 1 thing.... the Medical Center is very lousy... heard from my friend they give the cheapest and lousiest type of medicine to patients one.... basket... rest so long my temperature still at 38.1..... Haiz....

Oh well.. booking in soon... got to go prepare my stuffs le...... this saturday booking out quite late... think maybe after dinner time....

The results of the crossover will be annouced next week... so see how ba... best is can crossover... or else... haiz... oh well... anything ba....

This weekend is gone... so very soon..

Not much time left to blog... booking in soon....

Oh well... no choice.... this whole week have been so rushed.... did my gypsy and Wanderer... then got alot of section movement....

Then yesterday really tired out... rest at home...and today went out whole afternoon.... then now having my steamboat dinner.... ate quite alot...

Aiya.. think can't talk much liao le....
By the way.. anyone interested to catch a movie during the weekend... contact me... i got 2 free movie tickets from my SAFRA membership... haha...

Till next week then....

Another weekend came... and gone soon... again

Haha... not much idea for any titles.... used the same...again...
Anyway... yesterday booked out quite late... took the 1700 bus out to SAFT... so reach home.. pack stuffs.. wash clothes liao.... quite tired out... just watched TV.. and slept qutie early...

Anyway... for some very happy new... or at least i am quite proud of myself.... haha... My SOC timing.... cool man... didn't expect myself to do so well....
Maybe i will start from my first SOC.. at BMTC... did 14.31.. failing low rope....
Then at SISPEC... i think i starting reaching 10min plus.... then reach 09.31... cleared every thing...
Then at the recent SOC test on last Thursday.... i did somethink which i couldn't imagine it myself too.... i did.... 08.33......
That was like.... my fastest timing... and belong to the top few in the platoon.... or maybe company.....
WOW~~~~ Amazing man~~~~

I guess for SOC... the more you do it... the better you can get at it... but of course everytime you practise.... you give your best..... that's what i found out...
But for my test that day... i guess i sort of "gone over".... i reached a stage where i was just chionging... not thinking about the pain in my body... or my breathlessness... i just chiong.... even shouted out some boost of energy along the obstacles..... some of which caused one of my section mate to slip from the low rope because he was shocked at the shouting.... sorry dude~~~
Alot of my section mates later on came to asked me like what happened or something... maybe they thought i went abit "siao".... got to admit... maybe i really did became abit "siao"... but the shouts actually boosted my energy to chiong... so well.... haha...

This week... in a way... i feel that time passes quite fast.... because we are almost occupied every moment.... learning weapons.... doing section movements.... learning to navigate... oh yar... next week is my navigation exercises liao.... guess it will be quite fun~~~
But heard that there is a checkpoint at a "haunted" part of Tekong.... the checkpoint is famous for not being able to be found....
Guess i will try out my "Zhong Kui" power... see can find or not... haha.....

This 2 days i guess it will be spent at home le... because this morning the Senhhou gang playing soccer... i don't play that....
Then later TWK suggested go play pool at Parkway... then LKL don't want because too far... then what what lar.... then in the end TWK also don't want....

Oh well... to be fair.... people will always think of themselves first before deciding on anything... some factors like the place too far... or don't like to go home alone... even though nobody is going back camp today except me.. and maybe OJK.... they are some hindrance to a person's decision....
Can't really blame them... i mean... "ren bu wei ji, tian zhu di mie".... so it's quite understandable.....

Seriously.. i am not quite affected... guess all these military life sort of made me a dull man.... i don't mind spending the whole day at home just slacking around.... so anything lor....
Haven't been going out with my SRJC classmates for quite long le.... but i also like not bothered.... Haiz... army life.... or should i say.... island life.... haha....

Sometimes i feel that maybe i should sign on... especially for those peace-keeping missions... anyway after army i also dono where i want to go... might as well sign on army.... (but best is of course can cross-over to OCS .. then sign on... so not so jialat)
Come to think of it.... i guess i do like the excitement of danger... imagine holding a M203 patrolling around..... at anytime can suddenly kena ambush.... but at the same time... you can also ambush people.... war stuffs.... getting interested in them liao....
Haiz... but i would be really selfish if i really go sign on for this missions... not giving thoughts to my family.... although i don't mind loosing my life for the country... but the pain of the family... haiz....
Btw.. i am not sucidal.... just thought of this after seeing the reactions of the parents of the dead NSFs.... quite sad....
And seriously.... i will never know.... with my this type of "chionging" spirit.... there is a possibility that i may be the next one... (maybe only....)
Guess that's one of the good reasons i bought the army recommended insurance from a retired major..... at least there is something i can leave for my family....

Haha... guess too bored le.... start to talk about al these stuffs.... diao~~~

But oh well.... see how ba... the university stuffs i also dono how le.... Haiz...

Oh well.... booking in today at 2100....

'School of Infantry Specialist, here we come
Soldiers of every creed and race
Soldiers to Specialist, we will become
Leaders of 6 men we set the pace
SISPEC warriors we are the warriors
SISPEC warriors With Pride we will Lead
Fearlessly we lead with pride
Training hard, full of might
Train to lead by day and night
We will strive for greather heights~~~'

Another weekend came... and going soon...

Well... blogging at the last few hours before i book in.... got alot to say... maybe summarise all the stuffs... start from today... then go backwards...

This morning went to play basketball with the Senghou gang... went there very late.... because of what happened yesterday night... that one later then say...
Anyway... when i reached... all i could see was our gang kena thrash by outsiders.... basically being played around by them.... think those outsiders are younger, but are school players....
Oh well... seriously..... i am not really bothered.... maybe because i didn't play... but i guess it wouldn't make much difference... i don't feel that i can play very well anymore....

After that...we started playing on our own.. half court... and i sort of sprained my ankle a little bit not long into the match..... damm... not very good... especially since it affects my course... lucky only a little bit.. so the rest of the time played quite carefully... didn't chiong too much...
Then later got some outsiders came to join in too... got 2 girls... then that match the team i was in lost by 1 point.... we couldn't do much when the girls got the ball... personally... i didn't even dare to go too close... because later too violent then got injury not nice... at least if it's a guy not so easy kena injured... somemore their shooting is not very bad though not very good as well... the cans till score... and the guy with them... keep passing the ball to them... think purposely one....
Oh well.... and i didn't perform as well....
Or should i say... throughout the whole match... how can i perform if i only get the rare few ocasions of ball? And then after that... if i miss getting the ball in... i kena complained and stuffs.... kena KB.... WTH man....

I sort of concluded one point... those who are suppose to be the scorer.... why they can score more, and more accurately?
It's simple... they are always in control of the ball.... most of the time... and they get to shoot alot... and even if they miss... no body blames them....
For me... becuase i played center position... most of the time i will get rebounds... and i don't get to score as much... and so.... how can i score more accurately if i don't always get to shoot?
That's not the worst... the worst is when you screw up or something..... people will KB you.... is it because i don't have as much experience? Is it because they played longer so they got the right?

Personally.. i don't like to KB people... because i know how it feels to kena KB.... so i either talk nicely... or encourage....
But obviously... some people just don't feel as much feeling when they start to KB people....

Anyway... today also dono why... Mr LKL got PMS.... strange mood swings... don't know what the hell happened.... attitude alot also..... maybe not enoguht sleep yesterday?

After that... went to ate lunch... went to UDC to book my next driving test date.... 100905... quite long from now... but no choice... that's the best i can get... at least it's after my BSLC... so it wouldn't cause much problems to my training schedules....
Then went home to rest and pack my stuffs le.... alter have to reach Pasir Ris Bus Interchange (PRBI) by 2200.... now watching A.I. .... hope can at least see the ending before i go....

Now.. for yesterday....
Yesterday was qutie a happy day.... I passed my SOC.... 9min 48s.... first time i manage to do so....
The first time i did it was 14min plus... the 2nd time was 13min 08s.... both time i kena stuck at the low rope...waste alot of tiem trying to reach the top... damm sian.... think it was much harder because i was quite tired out after the first run down...
But well.. this time i manage to clear all the obstacles at the first go.... and so... well.... passed it smoothly...
Now i am 1 step closer to going OCS... since i can clear SOC liao... haha....

Thena fter that was a very rushed book out... then went home... rest.. pack.. bath... then at night went Tampinese mall watch "Initial D" with LKL,TWK and Alvin....
Not a bad movie.... think got sequel... but the female lead actress got a very sad life in the story.... abit wasted... but well.... if not like that then Jay would become a normal household man selling tofu and not racing....

After that.... we still went to play pool.... played quite ok....
After that... around 0100 plus le... no more bus.... then wanted to call my brother fetch me but he didn't answer phone.... then if shrea cab not "sun lu"... in the end walked home... took 1 hour.... like route march like that... walked until want to sleep... but well.... still fight on with my fighting spirit... finally reached home at around 0230... slept at 0300 plus.... and thus the late arrival for the basketball match...

That's about it for the weekend....

As for last week... did a couple of stuffs... learnt new weapons.... and even went out to Hendon Camp to do our water confidence jump.... 5 m into the water.... qutie cool.... but i didn i suffered abit of too sudden change in pressure.... got abit of internal bleeding in my saliva... but i'm fine after a while....

Then Friday got SAF parade.... at the same time... we mourn the death of fellow soldiers who died while training... all in the news.... abit sad.... but... well... guess it can't be help... i won't even know when it could be me.... or anyone i know...
Well.. just live life as it is...

Well.... that's about it le... not much time left...still got to go eat dinner... and prepare to book in... so... cya next week~~~
