One year older now and am not enjoying it. reason being because I've lost my freedom since 10012008.
Anyhow, thanks to all who've wished me happy birthday in one way or another!
since im on the topic of birthdays,
HAPPY 43rd BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!-------------
Went to MOS with carmen and eugene last night and the music at Smoove was not bad. met my buddy eng han there as well! kinda cool. small world. smaller dance floor there too. freaking packed with sweaty bodies. Worse thing is when the bodies are of the same sex as you.
Gonna enroll on my DRIVING course soon. didnt know it costs a whooping 160 bucks just to enroll. Considering to pay for my license with my own money.. hopefully my dad will persuade me otherwise =D
Congrats to Carmen on getting her license on her first try!! it's a really commendable effort especially when she tried using the windscreen wiper to open the boot (sorry carmen i just cant forget that scene).
Good luck to ChubbaWubba who's taking the test really soon!

I always needed time on my own I never thought I'd need you there when I cry And the days feel like years when I'm alone And the bed where you lie is made up on your side When you walk away I count the steps that you take Do you see how much I need you right now When you're gone The pieces of my heart are missing you When you're gone The face I came to know is missing too When you're gone The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok I miss you I've never felt this way before Everything that I do reminds me of you And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do When you walk away I count the steps that you take Do you see how much I need you right now When you're gone The pieces of my heart are missing you When you're gone The face I came to know is missing too When you're gone The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok I miss you We were made for each other Out here forever I know we were, yeah All I ever wanted was for you to know Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah

alright so it had been 2 months since i have last posted.
shoot me, i'm a lazy fat boy.
Service term ended 2 days ago and my shoulders got heavier by a white bar. we level-ed up to wearing white admin shorts yesterday and seriously, it's the most awesome feeling after 14 weeks of wearing white/black.
14 weeks.
I thought i couldn't get used to OCS life when i first got here and boy i was so wrong. Firstly, Sierra Wing is the sex where things are efficient and welfare is given out generously, provided that training standards are met.
The people in platoon 3 are awesome. There's the sodomy club/ SOH and their nonsensical nonsense. Guitar playing/learning sessions from the many guitar gods. You-tubing/Imeem-ing in rooms with firefox. General DGAF-ing around in bunks whenever wherever possible. I will so miss this life man. If there ever was a Sierra Infantry Pro term, it will be the very first on my EI survey =D
By the way, i got posted to COMBAT ENGINEERS. my most hated choice of vocation.
'nuff said.
Going off to Brunei, the land of jungles and mosquitoes and leeches and rivers, on the 29thJune-9thJuly. Hopefully I will be back.

together, we are sierra wing together, we are platoon 3 together, we are marching on together we will sing this song we are, we are platoon 3 2 years serve our country don't care, who's our enemy beware, we are platoon 3, platoon 3-----farewell ah platoon 3,farewell ah platoon 3.someday you'll be all alone,fighting in the combat zone.bullets flying all around,better keep your head still down.farewell ah platoon 3,farewell ah platoon 3.

I am in SIERRA wing.
The one with girls.
3 weeks had passed by and honestly it did NOT felt anything like a blink of an eye. It was hellishly long and it seems like I went through the entire BMT in 3 weeks. Of course many many and i mean a hell many things happened within the super long confinement period. It's the longest I've stayed away from home actually. The most tiring thing is that they crash course everything that they teach us, like weapons and the lectures stretch from early morning to night. It's really physically & mentally draining. Oh and I ran the most in my life last week. 2 endurance runs with an interval training and circuit training consecutively makes me think that nothing is impossible man. I never even ran 5km at one go before I came to OCS.
11 more weeks to end of service term.
Goal in OCS: DO NOT OOC
Good Luck

Ok boys this will be my last post before im gone for another 3 weeks. Posted to OCS and it was quite unexpected. Officer Cadet School. So intimidating. After all the stories i heard about how tough it is inside and all the crazy ridiculous training they undergo, it makes me shudder to think that its my turn to be going through hell.
The only strand of hope that dangles on a string now is that there will be other people/friends going through with me and that it's mind over matter.
MIND OVER MATTER
I believe OCS demands tough physical endurance but even more on mental strength, so i shall try very very hard not to give up. Alright as you can see, this post is about psyching myself up for the next 3 weeks. Sorry if i seem like im reasoning to myself.
Cya guys and wish me good luck.
I'll be needing lots of it.

I'm very lazy to blog at all nowadays but since I have a little bit of time before the start of a hectic day later, I shall do a brief recap of what happened on a sunny little island off the shore of Singapore as much to my abilities without being caught =/
24 Clique Route march was one of the highlights of BMT and it was no doubt tiring marching from 3pm to 10pm with only a couple of breaks in between. But I'm also sure i will never forget the cheering, we fcking sang ONE song for an entire 45mins (4cliques) and it was one of the most amazing and fun 4cliques man.
We also had recruit's evening in which my platoon got selected to represent Cougar Coy and we got through the auditions to perform in front of the whole school and we won best performance! I got to say the skit was helluva funny and it's amazing how it all materialised in a matter of a few days. Hoped they took a video of it so that i could watch it next time and laugh about it after I ORD (I wish).
We also had loads of Graduation Parade Rehearsals. I hate parades. Anyway it's going to be POP soon, and I have a mixed bout of feelings about it. Not that I wanna stay in BMT forever but it's sad that after 9 weeks of living, sleeping, eating. even shitting and bathing with each other we are gonna part and go out separate ways already. I know that tian xia wu bu san zi yan xi but it's just regretful that it's going to be over when we are only starting to enjoy ourselves as a platoon and become bonded with each other. Oh wells.

When I see your smile,
Tears run down on my face.
I can't replace.
And now that I'm stronger, I have figured out,
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul.
And I know I'll find deep inside me,
I can be the one.
I will never let you fall.
I'll stand up with you forever.
I'll be there for you through it all.
Even if saving you sends me to heaven.
Seasons are changing,
And waves are crashing,
And stars are falling over us.
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter,
I can show you I'll be the one
I will never let you fall.
I'll stand up with you forever.
I'll be there for you through it all.
Even if saving you sends me to heaven.
'Cause you're my, you're my, my-e-y-e-y,
My true love, my whole heart.
Please don't throw that away.
'Cause I'm here... for you!
Please don't walk away and,
Please tell me you'll stay... here!
Whoa-oh!
Stay!
Whoa-oh!
Use me as you will!
Pull my strings just for a thrill!
And I know I'll be okay,
Though my skies are turning gray!
I will never let you fall!
I'll stand up with you forever!
I'll be there for you through it all,
Even if saving you sends me to heaven!
I will never let you fall!
I'll stand up with you forever!
I'll be there for you through it all,
Even if saving you sends me to heaven!

Botakmen back for CNY!
Here's the pics from last book out
OSOS
Came back from Field Camp and it was the worst 6 days of my life. It was pouring and muddy like hell and freezing cold and there were ants crawling over me while i was sleeping in my shell scrape. The feeling sucks but the worst is over and we conquered it!
Thankfully my section-mates in Tekong are the best ever. Cougar Plt4Section2 Rocks my Socks. Wouldn't wanna be anywhere else. So far we already have Plan A/B/S and probably more to come yeh. Will upload more pics of P4S2 after this weekend.
It's a funny thing how less than a month ago i was slacking around at home and bumming about with friends and now im holding a real rifle and learning how to shoot targets.
Have you ever wondered
Why we must serve
Once in our life
Two years of our time
Looking all around us
People everywhere
Children having fun
While we are holding guns
Everytime i hear this cheer being sung, there is this string being pulled in my heart. (Sorry for the poor chinese-to-english translation but you get my point). Army life seems so surreal and things are all happening so fast we are almost halfway past BMT already. 5 more weeks to go!
Most of all, Happy Chinese New Year!
