Something is wrong some where... I can feel it... But what?

2007-09-17T21:32:00.000+08:00

I was feeling really slack these days... Waiting for army life to end... WAHAHAHAHA... Army is probably the only place that I will want to leave asap, and never to be back again... In fact, it made me dislike Singapore more and more... Thought army is supposed to make you more committed to Singapore? Probably applicable to those clerks and brain-washed officers only... Nvm, I am not a positive example of what the army is supposed to produce anw, coz, well, I think I probably think more than the amount the army intends me to think... Hahaha... Thought they wanted thinking soldiers? Or actually its thinking officers only? Or actually soldiers who think that they are required to think and that they are actually supposed to tell others that they think about thinking? Which leads to the problem of controlling those who really think and making them obey systems which are supposed to be devised after some considerable amount of thinking (or daydreaming), though I think they never even bother to daydream about it... I think am getting confused about thinking... What to do... Watching all my juniors heading for uni now and my batch mates going on to their second year... How I wish I am in a place that really requires some real thinking to be done... Now I can begin to appriciate the famous phrase: I think, therefore I am...

Finally finished my driving course... Actually being able to drive is a great satisfaction, the feeling of being able to travel at speed (though only at 50km/h for now), the feeling of having the vehicle under your complete control is absolutely wonderful... I must admit the process is not very fun, especially if you are not able to learn it fast... The instructors are usually hot-tempered (coz their life is in your hands), and scold you for the slightest mistakes (coz its really dangerous)... Well, if my life were in the hands of some young rash teenager i would certainly be quite stressed...

Ten sentences to ponder over
1. There is no perfect other half, only two half perfect person
2. Give your heart, and you could be rewarded likewise, but do not be surprised to be betrayed
Keep your distance, and you could protect yourself, but do not be surprised to remain lonely
3. Usually those who bothered to stay to qurral with you are those who really love you
4. Sometimes its not the other party who does not care about you, but its you who are too concerned about him
5. Indifference is not heartlessness, but merely a tool of protection
6. If we have 1000 steps between us, you only have to take the first step, and I will make the remaining 999 steps
7. Those who are happy when you are sad are your enemies
Those who are happy when you are happy are your friends
Those who are sad when you are sad are those who should remain in your heart
8. Even in the middle of believe is a lie
9. The real good friend are not those who have endless things to talk about, but those who will not feel awkard even if there is nothing to talk about
10. Friends are those who like you even when they have seen through you

Funny...

Followed this series of questions that is supposed to lead you to decide whether you can be a model...
1. Are you a girl? If no, go to next question...
Next question: Are you a guy? If no, go to answer A
Answer A: go for counselling

There are certain things that simply sux... Like, getting a slack job not by your own choice and get mocked at by others for that... Not as if I did all I could to get the slack job on purpose, but well, in a place where everyone seems to be working very hard, slacking is simply a crime. Probably I dun know how to complain, probably I dun want to kao bei about being tasked to do even the minimum, probably I am easier to push around... Of course, if I were in the shoes of others I will kao bei those slackers also, so I cannot blame those who is kao bei-ing... But thinking this way does not make one feel any better when he is the target of all the mocking and laughing and arrowing... And the worst thing is that there are similar slackers around who have absolutely no feeling for those who are working and want to slack even more... And worse still they are not getting arrowed... Why sia... I want to ORD, and say bye bye to the fucked up SAF.

I have been wondering what is meant by love and how to know if you are in love with someone... Is it like, you cannot live without that person, and you must think of that person everyday? How to know if you are really, treating the person as your good friend only, and only think of that person if you are feeling lonely and wanting to talk to someone? Well, I think if I can write these probably I am out of the whrilpool of love, for the time being... But I was really confused before, and I believe that I managed to confuse and convince myself for a long period that I was actually in love... Sounds like, OMG what a big fool... Haha... But I still dun know how does it feels like to be really in love... Need some practical lessons... LOL...

2007-05-04T11:05:00.000+08:00

Went back on tuesday to visit RJCO and see my juniors... Felt so happy, talking crap with them, sharing army stories, suaning and disturbing them, playing bridge and chinese chess... They were great, and the songs they played were far more exciting than mine, at least everyone will agree they are better than 狮城送鬼... Anw, I was glad that i was not a complete stranger to the juniors, probably a good sign... But I believe that this will be the last time, for I can forsee that if I do pay another visit next year, pple will probably stare at me like, who is this guy huh? The new teacher-in-charge? Cannot be help lah... 人走茶凉是无法改变的定律... Just hope that I can still prolong my RJCO memories and that ten twenty thirty years down the road, I can still say, those were the days...

天堂-光良

牵着你在天空飞翔
这样看世界不一样
有了你在身旁笑的脸庞
世界或许
就这么宽广
忽然就忘记了慌张
人海之中你最明亮
无意间的影响
渐渐扩张
你丰富我生活感想
何必寻找所谓的天堂
原来我因为你
不想再去流浪
情愿平凡
不拥有一切也无妨
有了你在心上
已然是天堂

2007-04-02T10:06:00.000+08:00

光良---第一次

当你看着我
我没有开口已被你猜透
爱是没把握
还是没有符合你的要求
是我自己想得太多
还是你也在闪躲
如果真的选择是我
我鼓起勇气去接受
不知不觉让实现开始闪烁
哦~第一次我说爱你的时候
呼吸难过心不停的颤抖
哦~第一次我牵起你的双手
轻轻放下不知该往哪儿走
那是一起相爱的理由
那是一起死守
哦~第一次吻你深深的酒窝
想要清醒却冲昏了头
哦~第一次你躺在我的胸口
二十四小时没有分开过
那是第一次知道天长地久

是我自己想得太多
还是你也在闪躲
如果真的选择是我
我鼓起勇气去接受
不知不觉让视线开始闪烁
哦~第一次我说爱你的时候
呼吸难过心不停的颤抖
哦~第一次我牵起你的双手
轻轻放下不知该往哪儿走
那是一起相爱的理由......对我

感觉你属于我
感觉你的眼朦
第一次就决定绝不回错
哦~第一次我说爱你的时候
呼吸难过心不停的颤抖
哦~第一次我牵起你的双手
轻轻放下不知该往哪儿走
那是一起相爱的理由
那是一起死守
哦~第一次吻你深深的酒窝
想要清醒却冲昏了头
哦~第一次你躺在我的胸口
二十四小时没有分开过
那是第一次知道天长地久

Always wanted to post something more meaningful and interesting, but well, I guess army life drains all the creativity (there weren't much to begin with) in me... Sometimes I will lie in camp thinking about what to post when I next book out, but everytime after reaching home all the nice words and passages seem to disappear (or is it coz I play too much computer games)... Hahaha... Seems like I am doomed to get stuck in the world of numbers and facts... Thats what all my platoon mates say about me... One day I will bring "The Big Bang"... Next week "Albert Enstein"... Then "Dark Matter"... Seems like I have indulged myself in something that is not very much related to my future studies... Dun know why it has not struck my interest in JC...

2007-02-17T03:42:00.000+08:00

Sainz... Everytime like that, last minute got lots of shit coming... Even CNY cannot celebrate in peace... Must have lots of shit to do... Clean up pple's ass after they had fun... Fuck... Like its us who made the mess like that... And why its only my company that is so rigid??? Plus a bunch of good-for-nothing sergeants who have their brain glued... Dun know how to respond to situation change... Sianz... Fucked up...

2007-02-10T14:18:00.000+08:00

I think ah, if some leader went to the extent of making(whether intentionally or unintentionally) all the other warring factions under him to start hating him within 2 weeks of taking over command, then he is a real failure... Sux...

都是你

谁改变了我的世界
没有方向没有日夜
我看着天这一刻在想你
是否会对我一样思念
你曾说我们有一个梦
等到那天我们来实现
我望着天在心中默默念
下一秒你出现在眼前
想念的心装满的都是你
我的钢琴弹奏的都是你
我的日记写满的都是你的名
才发现又另一个黎明

你曾说我们有一个梦
等到那天我们来实现
我望着天在心中默默念
下一秒你出现在眼前
想念的心装满的都是你
我的钢琴弹奏的都是你
我的日记写满的都是你的名
才发现又另一个黎明
我的日记写满的都是你的名
才发现又另一个黎明
这是我对你爱的累积

菊花台

你的泪光柔弱中带伤
惨白的月儿弯弯固住过往
夜太漫长凝结成了霜
是谁在阁楼上冰冷地绝望
雨轻轻叹朱红色的窗
我依身在纸上被风吹乱
梦在远方化成一缕香
随风飘散你的模样
菊花残满地伤
你的笑容已泛黄
花落人断肠我心事静静躺
被风乱也微摇
你的影子剪不断
独留我孤单在湖面神伤

花已伤完飘落了灿烂
凋谢的市道上冥冥不堪
手摸独樵愁心拆两半
他已上不了爱一辈子摇晃
谁的江山马蹄声慌乱
我一身的戎装呼啸沧桑
天微微亮你轻声的叹
一夜惆怅如此委婉
菊花灿烂地烧你的笑容已泛黄
花落人断肠我心事静静躺
被风乱也微摇
你的影子剪不断
独留我孤单在湖面神伤
菊花残满地伤
你的笑容已泛黄
花落人断肠我心事静静躺
被风乱也微摇
你的影子剪不断
独留我孤单在湖面神伤

Just finished the Hong Lou Meng concert... Actually no big deal, played those songs many times liao... Just as I was going to fall asleep on stage, Zang Hua Ying is going to start... So we all got our instruments ready, and the choir got ready, and... The conductor is MIA... The host then invited Wang Li Ping on stage, where he went yaking away for like, half an hour... The good thing is, the audience is amused... The bad thing is, we cannot really hear what he is saying (coz of the stage)... Worse still, everyone's mood kena disturbed, and the poor choir got to stand for that long (and going to stand for another half an hour, imaging the lao a ma and lao a bei inside there)... So he went yaking and yaking, and we dun know when he is going to finish... So everyone start looking sian... And dun know why the audience laughing also... Luckily he din drag on until we all fall asleep... So the song went well, and we played well, and the audience is impressed, and asked for encore... So after one encore piece, they got the lao Wang Li Ping up again to sing Da Hai Ah, Gu Xiang... Surprisingly he can sing... Mega bass... Well, what you expect of an old man... Ok... Reminds me of Guo Rui... Hahaha...

Finally, today is my one year of service in this stupid, f***ed up and lousy institution called the SAF (some say it stands for Singapore Acting Force, coz they like to wayang)... One more year to go before I am a free man again... Yes lah... ORD Loh!!!

Come to think of it, I din dream that the year will pass so fast... Still remember the time when I first stepped into Pulau Tekong, the strange environment, the pretend-to-be-nice-but-are-actually-recruit-eating-sergeants, the gangster-looking (and gangster-acting) platoon mate who turned out to be my buddy (eh I din choose the buddy myself, and I still dun like him a lot)... The screaming voices, the knock-it-downs, the f***ings, the wake-up-your-ideas... Not forgetting the field camp, the fall-in-your-ration-packs, the fall-in-your-pack-number-1-2-3-4, the arty arty, the sinper, the contacted, the big spider, the most-hated (and still is) camo cream... Not forgetting the 2.4 pass, the first time I broke zero for chin-up, the jump across 216cm, the struggle to get over the low wall and up the low rope (why do people like to call high things low?)... Not forgetting the "pain is over, pride is forever', the POP Loh, the last ferry out of Tekong as REC Lin Yundi, the final time when you do not have to send in the rifle you drew... Not forgetting the cursing when I saw I kena posted to 1 GDS as a GDSMAN, the super old and run-down building beside the new buildings, the gangster-looking (again) platoon mates, the number of IPPT passes out of 42 (there were 5), the double decker bed, the stinky toliet, the gate at the staircase (where I ram my head into), the first rappling, the 2km swim in the sea, the fast marches, the first time being declared down and carried back by 5 pple, the earlt morning turnout and tekang session... Not forgetting the other turnout, the morning PT afternoon PT noon zuo bo times, the whole-company-area-cleaning-done-by-my-platoon, the SIW (soldier in wonderland) times, the DOTA sessions, the experience of ammo tech storeman at live range, the 50 days excuse lower limb, the snake attack and the fall out of the kang chiong man (my hand cramp ah!!!)... Not forgetting the 32km route march, the CCAC package (wanna get dripped?), the fire at the live range, the we-sit-in-camp-watch-you-all-go-Brunei, the trip back to China, the first proper turnout, the turn ops parade, the underslung training...

Looking forward to another year to spice up my live, but still, SAF is not a nice place to be in...

2006-11-19T07:19:00.000+08:00

Bloody bastards!!! Where got people chiong one night liao then say dun want to guard duty ask reserve do one... KNN CCB... He think he king ah... Want to do then do, dun want to do then dun want to do... He only LCP, not LTC... F***er... GO AND DIE!!!

A very unhappy week... My grandmother suffered from a stroke just as we were about to have a gathering dinner... Rushed to hospital... Not stablised yet... The doctor say the immidiate 72 hrs is life threatening, and the immidiate one week is unstable period... Haiz... Will be disabled for sure... Sianz... My grandmother 84 liao... My mother is worried like siao lah... Her mother anw... Wonder what will happen if my mother suffered from a stroke... Will I be calm enough to react normally? Or will I panic and jump? Haiz... Life is like a solid wall, strong and tough; yet it is also like glass, fragile to the maximum... Haiz... Wonder how many years I have left on this world... So many dreams remain unaccomplished... Haiz... Just heard that my grandmother is much better now, and the danger period is over... Relieve...

2006-11-05T20:49:00.000+08:00

Finally found another internet connection at my grandmother's house... Have being running all over for the past few days but the lousy hotels do not have a single internet apart from the first one at Su Zhou... Anw let me do a bit of catching up...

After the last post I went to visit the silk factory in Su Zhou and bought silk blankets... Hope they are really as good as the saleswoman says... In the early afternoon went to the water village of Wu Zhen, took a little walk in the streets before taking a boat down the river... Quite nice trip, rocking away in the little boat... Later the day went to Hang Zhou and of course must visit the famous Xi Hu or West lake... The scenery there is fantistic, and we were just in time to catch the sunset at Lei Feng Tower... Beautiful beyond words... And just as I snapped a few shots on the camera, the sun set...

Day 3 I went to visit the west lake again, this time I took a ride on a boat around the lake... Saw the Su Bund, the Bai Bund and the islands in the middle of the lake... The city of Hang Zhou is also very nice. With a combination of concrete and greenery, a lack of heavy industries in the city centre, and the proximity to one of the most beautiful lakes in the world made me fall in love with the city almost immidiately... Later in the morning went to the tea farm where the famous Long Jing tea is grown... And the result, of course, is and exchange of money and goods... Great tea though...

The trip to Nan Jing took about five hours, and on the way I saw a very interesting accident... A lorry exceed the height limit when it went under a sign board on an expressway, and tore the entire signboard off its base onto the road... Imagine the force and the work done and deduce the speed of the lorry... Ok whatever...

After reaching Nan Jing it was almost dark so I had dinner before visiting the night market... Bought lots of things to eat... Growing fatter by the day...

Day 4 I saw the famous Chang Jiang Bridge at Nan Jing, built completely by the Chinese themselves, using funds donated by the people of China... It was a huge project, taking eight years and countless lives before it was completed... The Chinese achieved what many westerners considered mission impossible, and the bridge won great glory for the Chinese people in a time when westerners were considered far superior to the Chinese... The other famous attraction, the Nan Jing Massacre Museum, was closed though, due new bones discovered near the site... Disappointing... It will be nice to visit the place and know the extent of the atrocities committed by the Japanese... I also realised that tNan Jing people hated the Japanese to the core, and one way of getting back at the Japanese is to bring them straight to the Massacre Museum once they get off the plane, before bringing them to lunch... Interesting idea... In the afternoon went to Wu Xi, visited the Tai Hu, and saw mosquitoes flying above my head like swarms of bees... Only Lim Chu Kang beat that, coz the mosquitoes in LCK really bite, while the mosquitoes there dun really bother to suck your blood...

Day 6 went to the Filming site of CCTV at Wu Xi, where the TV series of Romance of the Three Kingdoms were shot... Also visited a live performance of fighting on horseback, and a Guan Yu with a yellow face and a Zhang Fei with a yellow face also... Ok... No comments.. Later the day was trips to the pearl factory and the tea pot factory... Kena cheated again... More exchanging of money and goods... Finally finished the tour and reached Shanghai in late afternoon... Now for house warming and treating of relatives to dinner, and just in time to celebrate my grandpa's 80th birthday...

P.S. I can only post but not view my blog in China coz its blocked... For photos pls wait till I am back in Singapore...

2006-10-31T20:23:00.000+08:00

On my flight to Shanghai I saw this air stewardess who have a very sian look on her face, and when she was demostrating how to put on the life jacket it was so obvious that she was not interested in serving us... Later during breakfast, she asked my mother: "You want a western style breakfast or eastern style?" So my mum asked what was for western, and she said: "Noodles, eggs..." When asked what was for eastern, the answer was again: "Noodles, eggs..." So my mother was confused, and looked at her... Now she got irritated, and raising her voice, said again: "Noodles, eggs..." Luckily my mum finally understood her and asked for noodles, or else, maybe something nasty will happen...

First day in China, and already feeling not used to the place alr... Nearly lost my way in Shanghai... Looking at all the various slogons make me feel out of place in this place, like, lost your way in your supposed to be own home... Some more I felt that the years of orderly life in Singapore are being disrupted by the disorganisation in China, like I never have a problem with crossing a road at a traffic light, but here the cars will fight with you to cross... Constantly on the lookout for traffic, bicycles etc...

In Su Zhou now, just finished the designated route for today... Su Zhou give me the feeling of being more organised than Shanghai, and the environment here is less pressurising than that of Shanghai... Generally it gives a feeling of relaxation... Tmr continuing to Hang Zhou... Looking forward to a great day at The West Lake... Hope I can find another place to update tmr...

2006-10-28T00:21:00.000+08:00

Will be going to China on holiday soon... SAF dun allow me to take extended leave, so this trip will be really short (14 days)... This trip includes a tour package to 杭州, 苏州, 无锡, 南京, and finally my home city 上海... Won't be online for quite long from next tuesday onwards...

歌曲：心雨 歌手：周杰伦

上梢的月牙
白色的竹篱笆
好想告诉我的她
这里像幅画
去年的圣诞卡
记忆在你的芜杂
画面开始没有她
我还在装傻噢
说好为我跑挖草
学习摆弄它
学生宿舍空荡荡的角
守着电话却等不到她
心里的雨倾盆的下
也沾不湿她的发
本应该明显跟上的牵挂
那伤心原来没有时差
心里的雨倾盆的下
却始终淋不到她
寒风经过院子里的枝芽
也冷却了我手中的鲜花
☆歌词提供:再兴

Went for two route marches in the past two weeks, a 28k at east coast park and a 32k at tekong... The ECP route march made sick of the place, probably it will be so for a long time, unless, of course, there are other motivations to go there... Saw a bunch of RJ guys and gals biking there at about 11pm, wondering what are they doing there instead of mugging, then it dawned upon me that they are probably J1s who have just finished promos... How I envy them... Good thing is, I have not done a route march for probably at least four months, so being able to accomplish the route march was quite an achievement for me... The tekong one was much less exciting, for my platoon hor lanned (got lost) from the start point to the first rest point... We marched 8k before finally taking a rest... It turned out that the HQ pple forgot to set up the rest point... Wonder what those pple with the crab on their shoulders are doing, made such a MAJOR error... On the way we ran into a couple of recruits prowling... Enjoy boys, the NS life is just starting... Then the HQ pple screwed up again and forgot to set up another rest point at the 24k point... Suckers... Stupid crabs... After 24k, crossed a river in the middle of the night, and rested for about 2 hrs... And finally chiong to the last point... Finally, went to the range to shoot before going back and sleep the next two days away... Song bo...

And i finally passed IPPT... Yes lah... Can take leave now... And no more RT on saturday morning...

不知为什么最近迷上了长恨绵绵，一个礼拜以来已经听了不下十五次... 越听越觉得好听，好像以前没听过，没吹过那样... Sometimes people only look far, not near...

Dotaing in a LAN shop now, and realise that they are crazy over this new song in Jay Chow's new album. Its quite a nice song, should go and listen if you haven't.

千里之外
歌手：周杰伦/费玉清

屋檐如悬崖风铃如沧海我等燕归来
时间被安排演一场意外你悄然走开
故事在城外浓雾散不开看不清对白
你听不出来风声不存在是我在感慨

梦醒来是谁在窗台把结局打开
那薄如蝉翼的未来经不起谁来拆
我送你离开千里之外你无声黑白
沉默年代或许不该太遥远的相爱
我送你离开天涯之外你是否还在
琴声何来生死难猜用一生去等待

闻泪声入林寻梨花白只得一行青苔
天在山之外雨落花台我两鬓斑白
闻泪声入林寻梨花白只得一行青苔
天在山之外雨落花台我等你来

一身琉璃白透明着尘埃你无瑕的爱
你从雨中来诗化了悲哀我淋湿现在
芙蓉水面采船行影犹在你却不回来
被岁月覆盖你说的花开过去成空白

梦醒来是谁在窗台把结局打开
那薄如蝉翼的未来经不起谁来拆
我送你离开千里之外你无声黑白
沉默年代或许不该太遥远的相爱
我送你离开天涯之外你是否还在
琴声何来生死难猜用一生...

我送你离开千里之外你无声黑白
沉默年代或许不该太遥远的相爱
我送你离开天涯之外你是否还在
琴声何来生死难猜用一生去等待

The end of another field camp is always worth celebrating, even though I attended this one as a status personal. And from every field camp, there will be many things that you will start to appreciate...

1. Never take the windscreen in front of a car for granted... Go try one without if you have any doubts...
2. Never grumble over two mosquito bites... There will be times when you have thirty at one go...
3. Mosquitoes in the city are repelled by mosquito coils...
4. Its a luxury to have lights and a roof over head...
5. Toliet bowls have been invented...
6. There is an umbrella when it rains...
7. People usually take the shortest route to reach their destination...

At the same time, you learn lots more...

1. Check the compass frequently while in an unfamilar place...
2. Never trust the map too much...
3. Wind and rain drops flying at your face at 50km/h are guaranteed to cause pain...
4. The car bonnet is a good place to slip on...

And a field camp involve many disciplines of knowledge...

1. Astronomy for gazing at stars
2. Chemistry for understanding how many matchsticks is required to light up a piece of solid fuel
3. Physics for calculating the direction of flight of a matchstick when you flick it up into the air
4. Biology to understand why some mosquitoes are not afraid of insect repellents
5. Geography for reading maps accurately
6. Mathematics for calculating the distance travelled on foot by counting paces
7. History to prove to others on how lousy singapore tanks are compare to those used by germans in WWII
8. English and Chinese to communicate to different groups of people

P.S. Try out this: mix the following drinks: coke, sprite, F&N orange, F&N zapple, F&N cherrade

Today is the second anniversary of my blog...

2006-09-02T18:39:00.000+08:00

Sometimes I really wonder what I am doing in army... Somemore in 1 GDS... Hello, like, the newly posted in sergeants are OOCing lah... Today I saw their nomial roll, and like 5 pple OOC liao, plus a few with long term excuses, like excuse camo cream... What the hell... And the ever reducing size of my platoon is inspiring me to reduce it further by going away myself... Srry dear PC and PS... Now on status, so will miss the heli live rappling next monday, but will also miss the outfield next next week, but think I still going, just as a sia kang warrior... Sia kang all the way!!! Fuck lah... I really want to get out... Let me downgrade!!!

2006-08-18T16:23:00.000+08:00

Went to see specialist on tuesday... He said that the meniscus (some shock absorbing thing in the knee) is injured... Went to the web to check out the meniscus injury, and the info seems to be that the injured part may have to be removed... Operation??? OMG... Hopefully this will not cause any really serious damage to my knee... And imagine I lived with that thing for 5 months before seeing a specialist...

校园民谣:青春无悔
词曲:高晓松
演唱:老狼叶蓓
开始的开始是我们唱歌
最后的最后是我们在走
最亲爱的你象是梦中的风景
说梦醒后你会去我相信
不忧愁的脸是我的少年
不苍惶的眼等岁月改变
最熟悉你我的街已是人去夕阳的斜
人和人互相在街边道再见
你说你青春无悔包括对我的爱恋
你说岁月会改变相许终生的誓言
你说亲爱的道声再见
转过年轻的脸
含笑的带泪的不变的眼
是谁的声音唱我们的歌
是谁的琴弦撩我的心弦
你走后依旧的街总有青春依旧的歌
总是有人不断重演我们的事
都说是青春无悔包括所有的爱恋
都还在纷纷说着相许终生的誓言
都说亲爱的亲爱永远
都是年轻如你的脸
含笑的带泪的不变的眼
亲爱的
亲爱的
亲爱永远
永远年轻的脸
永远永远也不变的眼

NDP finally over, and the long break has arrived... I actually wanted to write a lot of things one leh, but come to the page then got nothing to put in alr... Anw the national day fireworks was nice, sounds like: Contacted!!! Enemy firepower too strong!!! Arty Arty!!! Arty lifted!!! Retrogate!!! Ok for those who dun understand go join the army...

2006-07-30T00:33:00.000+08:00

Just came back from NDP, tired and aching all over, with very serious abrasion... Tired... Shack cannot think, so shall not write anymore...

2006-07-21T20:32:00.000+08:00

Just got back from one of my most eventful weeks in army, tired and very dreadful of outfields...

Monday: Outfield for MILAN missile live firing... Went there early in the morning with a clear sky which began pouring just before we were ready to fire... So walked down from the hill all wet and sticky, waiting for the sky to clear... The live firing after that was exciting, with one miss (usually pple dun miss, so the guy is quite screwed up)...

Tuesday: Went to the live firing area near Choa Chu Kang Cemetry for training... Half way dring the training lighting suddenly began flashing and thunder roaring, and we had to quickly pack up before it pours and we get wet... Plus, there was a bunch of signalers training there, with antennas as high as five stories, and make ideal lighting strike hazards... But as we all rushed out of the place, not a single drop of water fell, and we were so happy to get half day to rest...

Wednesday: Went to Lim Chu Kang again, this time deeper into the area, and trained on action from jeep and action on foot... For the mission on foot, we had to walk to near the Hindu cemetry to fire, and they became the targets of critisim of our ruthless sergeants, calling them "like dustbins"... No offense meant... For the action from jeep, we had to park our jeep at the foot of a very steep hill and run up there on foot (I really meant run) coz the instructor refused to let us drive, and this made my usually very garang section commander very du lan (unhappy)...

Thursday: Commencement of the Summary Exercise for the course... We still went to Lim Chu Kang, and clashed with a whole Regiment of tanks there having exercise... Nearly wanted to shoot the tanks up, only if we had live rounds... The mission was supposed to start at two, and so we drove out on jeeps to wait for orders at one, and end up feeding mosquitoes for 3 hours while we wait for instructions... Stupid... When it finally started, we realised that jeeps were of no use, and we have to mainly walk... So we went jungle bashing in our manpacks (with loads varying from 13.2 kg to 26.4 kg), and walked for about 2 km to our first objective... Along the way there was a path that ran near a plant nursery that was all wet and muddy, and every step we took was a chore... Then came a chicken farm, and you will never hate chickens so much in your live, for their smell is simply unbearable... Finally we reached the objective, and wait for our target tanks to appear... We waited, and waited, and waited, and the info that came was that the vehicles that were supposed to act as tanks broke down... At last they came, and we fired, and then went back to where we came from, passing by the nursery and chicken farm again... After we reached our link up point, the instructors wanted us to walk another 2 km, and my sergeants cannot stand it any more... They complained...
Sergeant: Sir (refering to our platoon commander), you ask them for jeep lah... You ask, things will happen...
Sir: Hey, just shut up and continue... This is a BLOODY mission...
Sergeant: ... (face says: what am I doing here?)
So we walked... And passed my the chicken farm again... Imagine that you are tired, and need huge gulps of fresh air, but all you get is stale air that smells nothing but chicken dung... When we reached the end point, we were all tired, thirsty and hungry (have not eaten for six hours)... But our jeeps were waiting, and we thought this is the end... We were wrong... We still have to be on alert, and man our weapons at all times... Finally until eleven were we able to get some rest, but not before we digged shell scrapes (in other words, holes for coffins, coz they really looked like holes for coffins).... When I got to sleep it was twelve thirty, and I still have to wake up later to do sentry duty...

Friday: After sleeping for about six hours, we wake up to another half-day of mission, this time entirely on foot... We walked, and stopped at a junction to watch a whole bunch of tanks passby... Then continue to walk to the next junction, where our officer and the commanding officer played a game of message sending, coz the other guy refuse to speak clearly, and in the end our officer had to tell him to speak clearly... Then an enemy "tank" suddenly appeared and killed our officer, leaving our sergeants stunned and rooted to the spot... Finally they reacted and took over, and led us to complete the mission... Then, back to civilisation!!!

Thank god it was over... But its not going to be the last one, unless i downgrade successfully...

2006-07-16T00:29:00.000+08:00

Still remember 2 years ago, I was spending my weekends at indoor stadium and walking along kallang river with yeow fong, xuang zhong, wang yue and yang hao for supper after practicing for the combined concert, admiring the National Stadium from far (not really far), and talking about anything but schoolwork and mdm teng... Now I am stuck at National Stadium every saturday doing stupid things; looking at the indoor stadium, recalling the wonderful times at indoor stadium which seems so far away, like a remote memory that is thousands of light years away... Ran into some old friends there today while acting as guides for those children (its the NE show for school kids today) with special needs (spastic kids included, I bet da jie still recalls the wonderful three and a half days she spent with them) to come and watch the parade... As we talked, I suddenly felt that school days were so distant... My teachers were right, school days are the most wonderful days, and shortest days in your life... They fly past your eyes like wind, and its so difficult to catch hold of them... Hope I will be able to have such great times at university also...

2006-07-13T21:10:00.000+08:00

Just got chosen to be the No. 2 gunner for MILAN live firing... Not the guy to press the fire switch and fire the 50k missile, must admit that I am a bit disappointed... But well, its good enough, only 4 out of the 45 person in the course gets to fire the two live missiles, and there were lots of officers and sergeants in the course... And I also dun have to withstand the pressure of the No. 1 gunner who is going to press the fire switch and ensure that the 50k thing land at the correct place instead of digging a shell scrap in the ground... What an expensive way to dig a hole... And if the thing screws up (French things are not very reliable), I shall not be the guy to feel stressed...

Saturday got national day sia kang (in English: shit work) again... Helping those irritating Primary five kids around the national stadium... My weekend ah!!! Should have about 4 days off liao, wonder if I am ever going to get them back...

2006-07-07T21:44:00.000+08:00

I hate it when the computer screw up, especially when basic things like the monitor screw up... And it was a NEW LCD monitor that was one weeks old, and now I am reverting to an old monitor that is about 10 years old... Seems like the old stuff tend to last... Irritating... And tmr saturday kena burned again for the stupid NDP, just because they are having a rehersal, so we are going to practice tearing the ticket (or ��绁�锛�for the actual day... Stupid...

So long haven post, feeling obliged to post...

First, let me explain my absense for so long... I was confined for the weekend in camp to call those lucky people and kids (yes, there were winners born in 2006) who have won the balloting for NDP tickets... Called a total of about 300 people... Now I can remember the script of the conversation on phone word for word, no, punctuation mark by punctuation mark... My ears were swollen for both saturday and sunday from pressing them against the phone for too long...

Second, I will be going to SIW (school of infantry weapons) for course...

Third, and most importantly, I finally got a specialist appointment for my knee problem... Hopefully the specialist will bring me some good news...

2006-06-10T00:55:00.000+08:00

Well, its being a long time since I posted... Can't think of anything to post... Army life is just so monotonous, especially when the commanders have nothing for you, then you just go PT PT PT... So you get really sian of PT, then you pray for rain, but most times God answers them at the wrong times, so it pours during lunch time, and shines during afternoon PT... Haiz... Sian ah!!! Finally this morning the prayers were answered correctly, and as a result IPPT was cancelled... Time to rest my knee, which has been going loose... Or rather, is loose... So when I move it too much, I can actually hear the crack crack sound made by the bones... I was very surprised today when my PS asked me to downgrade after he heard about my condition... Good, now I can go report sick, but must finish the IPPT test on tuesday first... Dun know what the stupid MO will say... Last time he promised physio but nothing happened... Sux man...

Saying goodbye to people is never easy, especially your good friends... Sometimes, rather than going to the airport and letting each other see our crying faces, isn't it much better to bid a smiling goodbye and let the memory stay within ourselves?

It may seem to some that I am being cold-blooded by not going to airport to send wang yue off, but I am just trying to leave the best memories in each other's mind... We ought to live a life in pleasant memories, not sad ones... Leave something good in each other's memory, isn't that better than being there to offer your tears to show how you will miss her?

2006-05-14T17:50:00.000+08:00

Happened to looked at the archives just now... Realised that I have been blogging for about two years alr... Two years, seems like a long time, but its actually a short time, especially when the two years is full of joyful times...

Was back at Bishan today to meet Benedict Wong. When I walked past the S11, the bubble tea shop, J8, many memories came back... The times I spent with my classmates, my CO mates, my good friends, my brothers and sisters... Now the times are over, they will only be a part of your memory, not a part of your life any more...

Yesterday went to have one last meeting with Xuan Zhong. She is leaving on the 18th... We talked about what keeps friendships long lasting, and came to the conclusion that friendships are only bounded by the common experiences that we had together, not how we treasure each other... Friendships have no commitments, and the bounding between friends can only be so strong... Maybe ten years later, we will still invite one another to our wedding, or remember to ask one another to outings... But the feeling of remoteness will be there... We will never be as close as when we were in school... The string that bound us together will be stretched thin, but lets hope together that it will never break...

All the best to my departing friends. Hope we will meet again soon...

2006-05-07T17:22:00.000+08:00

I have been wondering whether my life is very empty, especially since entry into the army... Lack of many friends, lack of soul mate, lack of girls (sounds like I am very desperate but its true, life is not really complete without close friends from the opposite sex), lack of meaningful things to do... A mere phone call or sms from an old friend can make me excited for hours... Why is this happening??? Why do others get lots of phone calls at night while I have none... Sometimes weeks can go past before I get another sms even...

I have been wondering how it feels to be in love with someone else (not one-way crushes, but two-way relationships)... Will it really make you lose your senses, lose your cool, lose yourself? Hmmm... And my life seems be fixed to single status for the two years that I shall spend in army... How I envy those with a close girlfriend, but I can (till now) never muster the courage to ask anyone yet... And probably it will remain this way for quite long... Sad case... Haiz...

2006-05-04T14:44:00.000+08:00

Long time haven posted... Din know what to write really... Haiz... Army life is so boring and monotonous... I miss music!!! And now we are not allowed to bring MP3 in even (dun know whats wrong with the sergeant-major)... Haiz... Life without music is boring...

2006-04-14T14:38:00.000+08:00

When we were together, we believe that our friendship will be forever.
When we are separated, the past pledges begins to fade.
涓��ヨ┍锛� 浜鸿蛋��舵都锛� ��
When our lives goes on, we leave others behind. We forget about them. We lead different lives, and suddenly realise that we no longer have common topics of conversation.
How long can pledges of eternal friendship last, I wonder.
The world is full of people who pass by us constantly. Some went by without leaving any memory, some leave a print on our brain.
But in the end, best friends go separate ways.
This is something we cannot control...
Treasure your moments with those friends of yours now, for you never know when your last conversation will come. It may come today, tomorrow, any day...
The world moves on, so do friendships...

2006-04-01T15:38:00.000+08:00

For all those who are disappointed in one way or another...

There is no person who live a life with no disappointments. The difference between the person who eventually succeed and the person who failed is the way they perceive things. The one who succeed is able to see the good things out of his disappointments, while the one who failed is only able to see the bad points.

Disappointments and successes always come in pairs. Nobody kept on succeeding, and nobody is forever disappointed by heaven. When we are disappointed, it may really be a blessing in disguise. Who knows what will happen when you follow your plan B or plan C? What you thought was good for you may not be good for you eventually.

Yesterday I was talking to a fellow platoon mate (An ITE student) about being in Guards. He thought that life in army was very boring and a complete waste of time, while I thought that life in army is eventful, at least I can get to know them.

It is perspectives that make a difference... There is always a bright side and a dark side to things. You decide which side to see. There is always two directions in life, forward and backward. You decide which direction to move in.

Look forward, and leave the past behind you. You will never know what awaits you in the furture.

P.S. I was just rejected by Stanford and Cornell.

2006-03-26T02:02:00.000+08:00

Back from Bedok Camp... Its the old camp with bulidings that look as if they were built 50 years ago... But its clean and usable (of course the free labourers have been cleaning it)... Well, guards training is tough, but the recognition and respect that you get after passing out is really great... Anw my passing out is on 27 April, which leaves me something to look forward to really...

Something to the people who have not start serving NS yet, if you want:
1. Really very siong training and lots of respect, go commando
2. Very siong training and lots of respect, go OCS
3. Siong training and respect, go guards or SISPEC
4. Siong training and little recognition, go combat engineer or signaller
5. Quite slack life and respect, go air force
6. Slack life and no respect, go service (storeman, driver etc.)
7. Complete slack life, cao keng NS, or change sex to a girl...

2006-03-19T23:13:00.000+08:00

Going to new camp tmr... Bedok, as a member of 1 GUARDS... Dun know whats wrong with CMPB, post me to Guards... Anw, new camp, new environment... Expect the unexpected (what a condictory statement)...

2006-03-12T13:32:00.000+08:00

Going to POP liao lor!!! 15 weeks in this remote, uncivilised and unique island called Palau Tekong leaves memories that will never be washed away... 15 weeks of army life makes people change, makes them think about their "habits", their behaviours... Its more of a learning journey than a torture camp... You know who are those that are really concerned about you, those who will forget about you... You learn about all kinds of people that existed in this world, and learn to like some of them, to hate some of them... And you know who are the ones that are important in your life, and who are just passing friends that you meet at a check point on the journey of life... You know your real abilities, your skills of life, your strengths and weaknesses that you never get to see during school days... Its a learning camp...

Good luck to all who are going to receive their posting... Hope that all will get where they want to go...

2006-03-01T03:35:00.000+08:00

A-Level results...

Even though I told many that I am not anxious about the results, I am... Thats why I am still up at this hour blogging... Wish all good luck...

Going to POP soon. To all those who POP one week earlier, (censored)...

2006-02-10T00:19:00.000+08:00

Back from SIT test... And just had a 12 km route march, in the rain... This week was really an eventful week... First was SIT test, not the test itself though, its sleeping in thunderstorm thats interesting... On the second night, I slept at about 2130... At about 2230, i suddenly felt cold water dripping on me (sleeping in a basha)... It was pouring outside... To prevent the water from dripping in, I have to use my hand to hold up the top of the basha... Then the wind came, and for many moments it felt as if my basha is going to fly off any minute... After a while, the rain gets smaller, and I fell asleep... Repeat this process for three times, over a span of 5hrs... Its not fun...

And something that I consider an achievement... Finally I was able to pass 2.4 and do my first unassisted pull up... On the way to passing IPPT...

2006-01-28T01:09:00.000+08:00

Just back from field camp. For those who want to know how a field camp is like...

Before starting, pack everything, and most importantly, pray that it dun rain...

Day 1: Route march to camp site at rubber planation, 4 kliometers. Then build basha, and dig a drainage system for rain water to flow... Hope you dun run into tree roots or lots of stones, or the night will be terrible... Later the afternoon is lectures and practices on rnge card and sentry duties...

Day 2: Almost same things, lectures and practices on field signals, walking tactically, and crossing danger areas... Followed by a little night practice on walking in the night, and learn the arty (for artillery) drills... Happy time conducting the arty drills...

Day 3: Test on what was taught on the second day, then rest and rest... Serious... My section talked crap for 3 hours with the sergent...

Day 4: Moved to Eastern Pier for demostration on section movements (charging, leap and bound, flanking), technical break for the afternoon, got the first wet bath in four days... Dinner was memoriable, for we went to the sea side to eat our fresh dinner (ie, not combat rations), plus a can of soft drink and M&M's... WA!!!

Day 5: Stayed at eastern pier for section movements practice and test... Good luck...

Day 6: Troop lifted to reclaimed land for trench digging. One shell scrape (ie, a hole in the ground for you to take cover from arty and sleep in)... and one firing trench for 2 sections... Happy digging!!! Also remember to put on mosquito repelent for the night, or you will be feeding them...

Day 7: :Last day!!! Cover up the hole you dug (and curse at the same time), then troop march to BIC ground. There, you will have to craw in SBO for about 100m, over sand and wire obstacles with 3 GPMGs (General Purpose Machine Guns) firing live rounds over your head... Then troop march back to company line, water parade, eat ice cream and clean rifle. Then wash up, clean area, and book out.

For me, there was an additional surprise: at 2315, officially still Day 7, I saw my application status for University of Michigan online. I was admitted.

Happy Chinese New Year!!! May the coming year be a year when your wishes come true!!!

2006-01-15T17:26:00.000+08:00

Going to field camp next week... Will not be back till just before Chinese New Year... Sign... Army life sux, for the next two weeks...

The Picto-Personality Test

You are a person who is very ambitious, and constantly thinking of ways to further your own goals.

When alone, you are introspective. You constantly reflect on your life and the world.

You are romantic, and when you are with your partner you like to woo them with your imagination.

In the future you will be happy and live richly.

Well, what you think about the results? At least i thought it was quite accurate...

Having a long weekend at home from army... Wanted to post something, but dun know what to post... A lot of pple have been asking me hows army life, my answer is that its something you have to experience yourself... The army experience is a mixed one, there are fun things, like going for live range; there are painful ones, like circuit training (for details of circuit training, ask any NS men)... There are lots of interesting pple in army, and i pity those in all JC sections, for they do not get to know those of the lower class, like the poly pple, the ITE pple, the school drop-outs... They are an interesting bunch, those pple... They do things you never think of... Seriously interesting... This is something that is very hard to learn from other places in the society, for the upper and lower class dun mixed well, and not often too...

New year... What have I been doing for the past year? Mugging in library? Walking around in RJ? Trying to find a suitable girlfriend? Going for NS? Dun really know... Sign... 2005 flew past, now its 2006... Soon 2006 will fly past also... Then 2007, 2008... I really dun know whether I have been doing for the past year... Seems like I wasted the year... But again, I have meaningful times, like having brothers and sisters, making good friends like Jeremy Koh when JC life is coming to an end... Spending the days together with my friends and classmates in RJ... A year in the new Bishan campus... There were painful times, there were happy times, there were sad times, there were times when we really felt down, there were times when we really felt high-spirited, there were valuable lessons learnt, there were priceless experiences gained... Maybe 2005 did not leave any exceptionally memorible moments for me, but the bits and pieces of 2005 will be a part of my memory... For a year, maybe 2005 was an insignificant part of human history, but for me, 2005 will be an important part of his life...

Happy new year, everybody! May 2006 be the year when your dreams come true...

Got back yesterday (friday) from tekong, aka hotel tekong... For those going to tekong, good luck to you... For those already in tekong, hang in there.... Haha...

Ran into hell a lot of interesting people in tekong, those you will never dream of meeting... Like school drop-outs, ex-drug abusers, ex-gangsters... And you have to sleep in the same room with them everyday... My god... I marvel at my ability to stand those pple... Really... Its like a clash of cultures, the "good" RJ boy with the "bad" gangsters... When I hear about their lifestyles, my first reaction was... WA!!!!!!!!!... Never thought such pple exist at the age of 18...

The food there is good, coz SAF pay $5 for a meal... The bunks too, got matress somemore... But of course you have to clean it daily, and failure to clean it properly will result in serious repercussions... The target is actually to make the toliet a place where a person can fall asleep in, an achievable but very difficult task... Luckily I am not in charge of cleaning the toliet...

Booking in again tomorrow (or shall I say, today) at 1830 hrs... Probably will be out for christmas, unless I kena guard duty...

A-levels is finally over (this post is a bit behind time). Was dotaing for the past few days. Well, what can I do apart from dotaing at this point of time? I have to go into army on 2 Dec... Earlier than everyone I know. Luckily never sign up for prom night, otherwise it will be wasted ah...

Have also been meeting friends, especially close friends like the guan yue pple and the chess club pple. Watched Harry Potter with Yeow Fong and Wang Yue and Hui Ling. Dotaed with Yi Sian and Brian and Yeow Fong and Zhao Wei and Jia Cong and Ke Yi and Hong Wei. Haiz, I shall miss them...

I hate the US universities for wanting us to write essays. Sian... Anyone applying US will agree with me. Thats why I am up at this hour... Sian ah...
