haha.. wanted to blog yesterday.. but didn't feel like it after i logged in.. haha. anyway i didn't really went out for the new year eve celebration cos.. well i overspent my budget for this month & most of my friends were in camp, some were doing guard duties, some went over the causeway, some were too damn lazy & some were dry on cash like me! haha.. the reason why i'm low on cash is cos i had a 1 week leave this week so i basically spent it all on booze, cigarettes.. tonnes of it & other stuffs. so far i've basically watched "The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe" & "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of The Were-Rabbit" & "King Kong". well.. these all "pretty alright" movies i guess.. it seems like a boring 1 week that i had although there were alot of activities for me.. somehow the mood wasn't there. same goes for the new year.. it seems to be missing something special for me.. just can't make out what it is..
2005...
most memorable thing is that i've been enlisted to the army! haha.. i can't believe its not even a year yet! it seems so much longer that i've been in the army.. maybe cos i'd rotten my time out in camp most of the time. haha.. but i believe i'm a changed man. well for instance i'm not afraid of spiders anymore! lolz.. well.. i wouldn't really say totally. but its still a achievement. haha. if i'm not wrong, what made me overcome my fear was.. hmm.. a month ago i was having my UIP & i had to do this section training as a refreshment to the unit. i was just fucked my my RSM (regimental sergeant major) for one mistake that i did & somehow i was pissed by that.. so i called the section to charge into the vegetation & i didn't realise that my path infront was denser than the rest of my section-mates.. but at that time i was "hot" so what the heck.. i charged forward & the next thing i knew, i was covered with some thread-like substance.. i knew that it was spiderweb... eeuuuwwww.. but that's not all.. there was something on my forehead, about the size of a compact disk.. so without thinking i grabbed the thing & i felt it being squished in my hands.. & i was like (EEUUUWWW) X2 & throwing it aside at the same time.. soon after i wiped away all the webbings on my face. as i was doing that i noticed an even bigger spiderweb with a medium-sized arachnid on the center right infront of my path. then i was like whoa..... if i had charged forward about a yard more... haha.. at that moment i was feeling so disgusted & tired that i've totally forgotten about the fucking from my RSM. hahaha.. & that's how the story goes..
2006...
hmm.. thus far i hadn't made much resolution other than getting my printer fix or maybe buying a new one just so i can fulfil my next resolution which is to design another tattoo.. hahaha.. but before that, i'll have to get into shape.. kinda have been neglecting my fitness this whole week. beer belly is starting to form up. lolz!!
for christmas i had wished for santa to give me a better love life but maybe i've been on the naughty list this year thus i didn't get any.. so i'm wishing for the same thing this new year.. haha.. i'm not desperate mind you.. but it would be better to have someone by my side other than friends.. okay-okay.. i guess i'll be logging off now.. downloaded alot of videos due to 5 days of non-stop downloading.. my PC had been working overtime this week & it a record of 5 days straight. so i'm gonna watch all of it now! so ciao!!

China Black? What happen?!
it's been a month since i've been posted to 2 SIR but still there's isn't anything much going on for us.. well my company at least. everyday its the same routine.. sleep - report at company line - eat - sleep - eat - sleep.. that's pretty much what i've been doing for this week.. our official appointment hasn't been confirm yet.. most probably it'll be another 2 weeks time. it's very mundane.. damn bored of my current lifestyle.. & this is something rare coming out of me. haha..
the wednesday's night i just had to book-out without permission. it's just to let myself loose for a while. i don't wanna die of boredom. eventually i ended up at china black.. it's been a long time since i went there & that night was supposedly a ladies night so i was expecting it to be alot of fun.. but maybe it just wasn't my night.. there were more guys than girls.. and there were aunties too! into their mid 50s i think.. what a turnoff!! i ended up buying alot of drinks to swing the mood back.. luckily the bartender was a friend of my friend.. so there were some discounts.. i managed to stay on till 4 plus in the morning & was just about to feel the kick but then my friends were getting sleepy.. & had to literally pull me away from the crowd.. sigh.. headed straight back to camp around 5 plus & i wasn't walking as straight as i wanted to.. i was a bit tipsy & somehow managed to get pass the camp guard! haha.. i got about an hour of sleep.. nap before i had to report back to my company line for the company turn-up audit. oh man.. i really a serious hangover.. eyes were very puffy & my body was shaking to some music although i was having a "temporary partially deaf symdrome..." hahaha... i must do this often!!
however next week the unit is having this exercise buckspeed- it's an outfield exercise which requires about 4 days. meaning we'll have to camp out & i'll be there as an observer again! sigh.. anyway that's pretty much the end of this post. a certain Jack Daniel's is waiting for me..cold & electrifying! ta-ta! haha

Apache!
having my off now since wednesday.. monday was the posting to my new company.. somehow or rather i got into alpha company or otherwise known as apache company. word got around that it was the worst company in 2 SIR but it turned out to the exact opposite. the CSM is slack.. very slack! woo hoo!! that means good news to me.. lolz. most of the secom there are regulars.. so most likely the new specs like me will just be their 2nd-In-Charge. tuesday & wednesday was outfield but no appointment was confirmed yet during that time so we were tasked as observers which means doing nothing at all.. it was pretty boring but its better than digging up our own grave.. haha.
upon reaching back to our company line.. we had a little brief with the CSM. it seems that he doesn't have a clue to what to do with us, the new specs. since the position of secom in the company is currently occupied. so me & another friend will be going thru the platoon sergeant course due in february for roughly about 2 months. for some of you guys who doesn't know what the course is... well.. fast forward.. i'll get a rise in rank after the course is completed.. hahaha.. but what it means to me is a roof top over my 3rd sergeant rank so as to withstand all the pressure from those senior in ranks. right now my rank is just collecting all the stress & responsiblities.. haha.. i've a feeling some of you who read this might not understand.. well too bad.. find out for yourself! haha..
zouk-out tmr night! ciao guys!

2 SIR - Second to None
okie now.. back to where i left off.. hmmm.. actually i came back from the overseas training weeks ago but i didn't really have time to update. basically the whole experience was very very tiring but meaningful. especially during the 4 days of R & R (rest & relaxation or recreation.. i forgot! haha) i kinda went over my budget.. spent around 1k sing dollars in just 4 days! i must make a note to never do that again! soon after i landed in Singapore, i had to book in the following sunday just so we can prepare for our graduation parade which didn't turn out too badly. lots of pics were taken & i'll post them asap.. well actually it depends whether i'm lazy or not. haha..
anyway i've got posted to 2 SIR which is situated in amoy quee camp. the camp itself is in a terrible state. it's somewhat rundown as it a very old camp. but i don't really mind cos to me any place other than tekong is better as it's closer to home. however as i'm in a unit, it means my sergeant rank don't really provide me with the same authority as in schools like bmtc or sispec. cos i've to do alot of outfield training & also try as much as i desire to, to achieve the unit's goal for glory. incidentally i've just completed my UIP (unit induction programme) set by the unit, which is supposed to help us settled in quickly by familiarizing ourselves with the unit. in my honest opinion.. i seriously don't feel motivated at all.. the unit seems tough & the targeted goals they set for us junior commander is very high, futhermore i feel that i've lost the spirit to go on my ns life going through outfield training. i'm sick of it, mentally & physically. but it seems that fate had already set this path for me so i'll just have to go thru it & hope that it won't be as bad as i've imagined.
regarding my life, it's currently inactive. i've just had my ears pierce well i think that's about the only interesting event that had taken place hmmmm... oh yah.. the NCC camp is also at the same camp as i am. in fact its just beside my unit. i ran past it numerous times this 2 weeks during the cadence run.. some of my friends got posted there. the job is basically slacking the whole day & they get to book out everyday cos it's based on office hours! less than 5 guys from my sispec course managed to be posted there! those damn bloody lucky bastards! it pisses me off when they complained how bored they are everyday doing nothing. sheesh! okay i'm signing off now. shall update whenever possible. ciao!

Bon Voyage!
hiya.. its been a really long time.. i've got posted to the same school but taking a different course as advanced section leaders, ASLC. i've been shoved into Golf Company this time round.. and this had been like a few months back. anyway i think my new coy. sucks big time. in terms of discipline, administration & organisation. the only thing they are good at is giving welfare, maybe too much welfare for me. its too slack.
in this new course, there's much more focus on outfield area. all the battle drills & doing all the live firing. it's so safe during all the live firing that it worries me. what should i do during a real battle? a real war? there's so much restriction given to the live firing! but then again safety is a big issue otherwise i might not be here typing all this shit.
anyway the fasting month has already started a couple of weeks back and i'm finding it a bit hard to actually fast when there's so much running scheduled in the programmed. initially we were just supposed to just run in the army-half-marathon held at the padang hmm.. last month i think. anyway it was before the fasting begun & it was only a 12 km run, but then they decided to make us run the 22 km graduation run which is actually a norm before we go for the overseas trip. so i just had to suck my thumb and go thru it which i had just recently completed the past wednesday, within 2 hours. ... i'm not sure whether its because my batch is the last batch to go thru sispec course in tekong (we are moving to pasir laba camp, which is soooo near my house!) and all the unlucky shit had to befall upon us. like we were supposed to stay over another camp in mainland which i heard to be luxurious compared to tekong but some artillery company or whatever shit had to occupy the slot and! we were made to book-in and book-out everyday, in-and-out of tekong just to do our training and we can't changed our venue of training as all the ammunition and food rations had already been indented and we weren't allowed to cancel. its actually pretty tiring waking up as early as 4 am and getting back to tekong by 10 at night. all the unneccesary shit and i've went thru it. in a months time i'll passed out and will be getting my sergeant rank! and most importantly.. a pay raise!
actually the main reason why i had to blog right now is because i'll be going over to taiwan in about 5 -6 hours time and therefore will not have any opportunity to blog for 3 weeks. in other words i'll also be fasting over there in taiwan for the remaining 2 weeks and the celebrating my hari raya over there in taiwan. sigh.. i'm so reluctant to go. but then again i also can't wait to experienced the outfield environment in taiwan. lolz.. hmm.. i think there's nothing more i wanna say. so i guess i'll be signing off now. happy deepavali and hari raya puasa in advanced!! ciao!

I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn't have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death

I swear I'll never give in

SISPEC
time seems to pass by so fast. 10 weeks of BSLC (basic section leader course) at Alpha Coy in SISPEC is gonna be over soon. by next week i'll be passing out from the course again. within this period at my "new" coy may not be as memorable as those at bmt but still i've learnt alot of new stuffs; weapons such as SAW, LAW, MATADOR, SAR 21, M203, BANGALORE, CLAYMORE MINE; lots of live firing & section live firing; plenty of "jungle" training plus chemical defence; & incredibly alot of running - 4km, 5km, 6km, 7km.. hmm.. there maybe some exercise which i might have missed out. haha.. anyway the previous week i'd just completed the digging of trenches which is so called the most tiring part of BSLC, but i don't really think so.. well.. maybe there's this freaking large rock which i had to dig out & also the humongous roots.. haha.. okay it was pretty tiring & everyone's morale was damn low cos they were dripping wet from their perspire-soaked uniform. the following last week is rather slack though, cleaning of all the arms, 16 km route march, combat training, physical training lectures & the graduation 32 km route march! oh.. i almost forgot about the 2nd happy hour we're gonna get back at my company line which involves lots of eating & lots of duty-free beer! lolz!! the last happy hour i drank 10 consecutive shots! gonna improve on that count soon.. lolz!!
the best thing about being so called promoted from the "recruit" status to any other rank is that we are able to book-in & book-out in civilian clothing! haha.
that summarizes the whole of my absent in my blog. seems rather short huh? so maybe i'll update more next week regarding my new posting. next week will also be the end of my private status cos i'll be upgrading to corporal! lolz!!! ciao!!

its really a waste of time going for for my medical at the aeromedical centre, plus its located at some ulu place in paya lebar. now i'll need to go for my third medical review on friday. sigh.. i hope to get it over & done with so they can process my application sooner.
few more days & i'll be booking in to tekong again! argh.. i hate that place. when my posting got out, i wasn't sure whether to feel happy or sad. happy cos i'll be together with most of my buddy in tekong. sad cos.. i'll be in tekong! so i was planning to get an mc just so i'll have few more days off. however thinking about it again, i'll miss most of the admin stuff & when i eventually get back, i'll be busy since i need to rush my admin stuff while the rest of the company slack. so i decided not to get an mc, but coincidentally yesterday i fell sick with the normal cough, flu & fever! argh.. hopefully i'll get better before i book in. cos being sick whilst in tekong is a terrible feeling cos we can never recover properly there. sigh..
alright then, i'll be signing off now. gotta take my medicine & rest early. ciao!
