I screwed up. I never meant to hurt u.

I lay on the bed looking at my iphone wallpaper and tears started flowing. I felt very lonely. I realised how much I took you for granted.

Angry people say stupid things without going thru their brains. I would do anything in the world to have you pick up my call and call me, "MEANIE!"

You mean the whole world to me.

You probably won't be reading this but 2 words sum up what I want to say to you.

"Don't go..."

I have a piece of shit as a sister. The only difference between she and my dog, is my dog walks on 4 legs and my sis walks on 2. Plus the fact my dog is better behaved.

WHO ON EARTH LEAVES LEFTOVER FOOD FOR 2 DAYS AND WHEN IT STARTS TO SMELL, JUST TIE IT UP WITH PLASTIC BAG. THE FUCKING RUBBISH CHUTE IS JUST UNDER THE SINK. My girlfriend is probably right, she is doing it to annoy me. But I know better, that's just so HER. You know, the irresponsibility, the self-centered bitch she is.

What you more can one expect from a woman who doesn't flush... My sister is just so sick. Perverse in her own way. Sick....

"I'm happy only when you are happy."
I never fully understood this sentence until now.

You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

Happy New Year!

2009-12-15T13:22:00.001+08:00

I love you so much, I know it is going to take some time, but I will be here, waiting, because I love you.

2009-11-08T21:11:00.001+08:00

for the first time, i kissed a woman i love.

2009-07-02T22:56:00.002+08:00

Went to cut my hair today, told the hairdresser no slope, layer, cut abit only, thin abit only, I dun want too short. She did the exact opposite.

Gave me high slope, cut till left abit only, damn short, and she did leave a layer behind my head which makes me look like a punk. So I went back and told her it's too ugly might as well shave it off. Really damn pissed off with her. She said if dun cut slope not nice. Wtf... Who cares what you think, can't she just follow simple instructions? Specifically said dun want slope and she gave me a damn high slope. If she dunno what is layer she should just quit her job. Now my hair looks like the one I had during SISPEC days.

ORD LOH!!!! During the 2 years, especially during the start, it seemed like a long road ahead. Now time seemed to have flown past like an arrow. Some memorable things I remember during my days, good and bad.

BMT TEKONG:
-1st time in my life I was botak.
-Training under the hot sun.
-Talked to the floor everyday.
-Field camp with a very blur buddy.
-I couldn't even do push-ups and failed my fitness test.

Sispec:
-How we dived into the forest when we saw a vehicle coming along the bend on the road. We weren't allowed to be on the road.
-Grand Slam overrated.

ATI:
-Damn depressed during the first day. Gotten into the most "xiong" unit. It was the beginning of 23 weeks of hell on earth.
-Worst ever tek-kan sessions were from there. 90 push-ups even before the first morning lesson started, at about 8am. My arms didn't listen to me afterwards for the rest of the day.
-Taiwan was COOL! Literally. I nearly froze to death in the middle of the night during outfield.
-They said the "Ninja van" owner's daughter was hot and looked like Hebe. I tried but failed to get a glimpse. (In Taiwan)
-Buying food from ninja vans. (In Taiwan)
-Silver bayonet!

40 SAR:
-Met great friends.
-Did shitload of work.
-Had the best CSM and OC anyone could ask for.
-Misfired. 14 days SOL made me feel like a jailbird.
-Got yelled at in public by CSM during NDP rehearsal at Marina Bay for something which he thought was my fault but it actually wasn't mine.
-Outfield.

Friday night at Butter was fun! Sandra was a goner by 1am, though I was the first to puke. We waited damn long for Jia Min and her friends. By the time they came half the bottle of Martel was gone.

There was this fat bloke who sat beside me suddenly. I told him this is a private area for friends only and I actually told him to leave nicely. He gave me alot of bullshit and said he wanted to sit here because there's alot of chicks. It was the first time I told somebody to fuck off in a club right in his face, a guy bigger size than I am. But at least he left. Sandra and Yixuan thought he was my friend. CAN'T YOU SENSE THE HOSTILITY!? LOL!

2009-05-24T22:59:00.001+08:00

Someone asked me what do I look for in a girl.

Her smile and laughter, her hair, her face and her legs.

"What about boobs? Dun guys like girls with big boobs?"

I dun give a damn about boobs.

2009-05-23T00:20:00.002+08:00

Last Wednesday night at butter factory with my friends were crazy. Ok, only the girls were crazy. Played some slapping game with Regi and she slapped me real hard. Pink was crazy. She asked me alot of questions and she didn't really believe my answers. Questions like how many girls I made out with when I club, how many flings do I have, why I dun have a girlfriend. She didn't believe me when I told her I didn't make out with any girl before, and I dun have a girlfriend because nobody wants me. She assumed I still wanted to play or fool around LOL.

I'm planning a trip to Japan with Jeremiah and Marvyn. Wanted to go Taiwan but we changed to Korea then we changed our mind again to Japan. Guys can be such fickle creatures.

2009-04-26T18:34:00.002+08:00

My dad bought my grandpa a walking stick. My grandpa got kinda annoyed.

"Buy me walking stick for what? I cannot walk myself? Go use it for yourself."

"I can walk myself. This one buy for you to use one."

My grandpa told my granny to throw it into the storeroom, said he don't want
to see it. So damn funny!

*the above conversation was in Teochew and I suck at dialects, so it was a loose translation of what I understood.

Watched "International" at cine last night, midnight show. The show suck! Almost fell asleep. I AM NEVER GOING TO PARK AT THE OPEN AIR CARPARK OPPOSITE CINE AGAIN! The freaking birds dun sleep! From 10.00pm to 1.45am, they dropped lotsa shit on my car. Can birds sleep and poop at the same time? Spent $7 for the car wash. Waste my money considering I just washed it last week...

2009-04-25T18:09:00.002+08:00

Guess who I saw outside the toilet of Butter Factory?

TADAH!

FIONA XIE!

I asked Cecilia if that was Fiona cus I was quite high already. I didn't get all star strucked though, just approached her and asked, "Hey Fiona, can I take a picture with you?" Took the pic and shook her hand and told her it was nice meeting her, then I walked off.

Actually I have seen her a few times before at Zouk but never thought of doing anything. Anyway she's much prettier in person.

2009-04-24T20:32:00.000+08:00

SO DAMN BORED! Played L4D like half the afternoon. Meeting Sandra and Cecilia later at about 11pm. Didn't want to club but I'm too bored and awake, besides I'll probably be clubbing again this coming Wednesday.

I will be "income-less" in a couple of months time. How to survive? How to supplement my playtime?

2009-04-19T21:21:00.002+08:00

Feeling pretty shitty right now. Never felt like this for a long long time.
Going to the airport to fetch my parents later, they just spent 10 days holidaying in China.

Sometimes you know there are somethings you shouldn't do, but you just cannot help it. Some feelings you just cannot contain. If you put a lid on it, it will just overflow.

2009-04-12T13:35:00.002+08:00

I was at Butter Factory on Friday night with YF and Vic. Starting was quite fun, but it got damn boring after that.

We were dancing and beside us there were these 3 girls, one of them was wasted and she keep falling onto us. Her friend kept apologising to us. Later, she asked us how old we are, suddenly the drunk friend reached over and slapped me haha. She also bit YF on his chest. LOL! After that we didn't see them, they probably left.

Outfield tomorrow. SUCKS!

2009-04-09T22:15:00.000+08:00

James recommended that I watch this. It's damn good, and the girls are HAWT too!!!

2009-04-04T12:57:00.002+08:00

Some asshole called my mum and told her I was kidnapped (I was in Sungei Gedong Camp at that time). They wanted to scam her of money. Scared the hell out of her, until she called me to confirm I was safe.

Some problems at work with the duty list. Bloody ass wanted to siam duty, and let others do it for him. I told him off because it pissed me off too much. Life is damn screwed up right now, and probably for the next few weeks too.

2009-03-29T15:37:00.002+08:00

Got a new comp! Like finally, my old one has been with me for about 5 years.

Saw some secondary school kids drinking beer and bottled Bircadi and Vodka, those you get from 7-11 for $5 a bottle. It reminded me that I used to do that lol, it was a cool thing to do that time. Now, they just seem like soft drinks. Drinks sold in clubs are so much stronger and they make me high, and I enjoy that. Maybe that's why I enjoy clubbing.

2009-03-11T20:18:00.002+08:00

I CAN'T STAND MY MUM ANYMORE! To a certain extent, my dad too...

WHO THEY THINK I AM? A PRODIGY? A TECH WIZ? HOW THE FUCK I KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH FAULTY COMPUTERS. FOR YEARS I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE MY POINT TO MY MUM. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FUCKING FIX COMPUTERS SO STOP FUCKING CALL ME WHEN THERE IS A FUCKING PROBLEM.

WORSE. Just now there was some issue with the walkie talkie she just bought.

"This walkie talkie got some wierd number on the screen. How to turn it off?"

My blood boiled. If she wasn't my mum, I would have told her "HOW THE FUCK I KNOW!"

"What you think I am, you think I know everything?"

She probably detected the sarcasm because she didn't bother me after that.

For years, they have been calling me to fix any fucking problem or fix any fucking error message that pops up of their comp.

"Why the computer cannot detect my printer?"
"What is this error message?"
"Why my computer restarts itself?"
"Why I cannot connect internet?"

There is one solution to the problems. Follow the steps below.
1. Open the window.
2. Disconnect all cables from the CPU.
3. Throw it out of the window.
4. Get a new one.

For years, I have tried to make my very simple point which can be summarised into 7 simple words i.e. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX COMPUTERS!

The most irritating of all is when I am busy doing my things, or when I'm sleeping. They expect me to drop whatever I do and fix their fucking problems. For years I have been trying to make my point, sometimes even refusing to help them. Yelling at them that I don't know what is wrong.

Here is the worst part. When I really don't know what is wrong, they get pissed with me, like it's my fault this is happening. Yesterday, I told my dad, "I probably know how to fix an aircraft that is faulty, I dunno how to fix computers." Then I walked away.

FUCK THIS IRRITATING SHIT!

2009-02-19T20:59:00.000+08:00

It's my off today, going back to camp soon. Won't be back home this weekend :(

Life sucks right now...

2009-02-19T18:29:00.003+08:00

I was kinda drunk last night. I asked Pearly what was her name thrice, because I was too high to remember anything. Even now, I am still unsure which of the two girls is Pearly. HAHAHA!

2009-02-06T20:39:00.002+08:00

I am soaking my feet in Dettol with water cus I've got bloody foot rot again.

Slept a total of only 16 hours since Monday.

Whole body is aching!!!

My hands are bitten by countless mosquitoes.

I have only been watching replays of football matches for a very long time. It's like everyone is too busy to watch any live actions. Seriously, I hope after March there will be more free time and life will be so much easier and better.

2009-01-28T17:30:00.000+08:00

I need time alone to sort certain things out.

Some people are nothing but trouble.

I'm 21 not 12.

My mum should stop nagging.

2009-01-26T23:14:00.002+08:00

One of my New Year resolution is to cut down on the amount of profanities I use.

2009-01-18T22:51:00.002+08:00

OK the past week was a rather bad one. From Monday morning to Wednesday night, I probably managed 7 hours of sleep. So busy that I hardly had time to sleep. Can't wait for CNY to come.

2009-01-18T14:29:00.001+08:00

Lance Corporal Liew Guan Kee and 3rd Sergeant Sim Bing Hong

2009-01-18T14:25:00.001+08:00

My life has become so stagnant recently. Nothing interesting is happening, so nothing to blog about.

Everything I do is like a routine. Every week, day in day out, same routine, with the same people.

Hit me with something interesting please.

2009-01-04T02:02:00.003+08:00

I spent my NYE at Sentosa, and got sunburnt. At night, went to watch Transporter 3 and then Ip Man (again) with JJ, Yao and Dawson.

A couple of ah bengs walking in front of me said, "why got people call themselves 'eye-pee' man?" Brainless people.

2008-12-28T17:45:00.001+08:00

A new video at the sidebar!!! I like this MV cus the chic is extremely gorgeous!

2008-12-12T21:55:00.002+08:00

Booked out in my uniform today, and went to J8 to buy a bread toaster from Best Denki. Had a small talk with the salesgirl.

salesgirl: "Hi how may I help you?"
me: "Can you get me this (points to the toaster.)"
sg: "Buying for your mum?"
me: "No, buying it to put in my camp."
sg: "You got camp meh!? I thought you NCC." --> she tried to look at the unit badge on my right arm.

(Seriously... Wth?)

me: "Haha..." -_-"
sg: "Wait ah, I go get for you."

She returned and continued the small talk while testing my toaster. Can't remember all that she said, but the rest of the chat went like this...

sg: "Tiger is which infantry unit?" (my unit badge is a tiger, represents 3rd Division"
me: "No la, tiger is the unit, I'm from Armour." (eh Armour got pride one ok? We are the elite. Just like Commandos and Guards.)

But SERIOUSLY! NCC?

2008-11-28T20:55:00.003+08:00

Went clubbing (PHUTURE) last week to celebrate Dawson's birthday. We hooked up with about 17 random girls over there. We made everyone of them kiss Dawson, but we were supposed to get 21. We treated the ladies who kissed Dawson drinks and before 1am, all the alcohol was finished and Dawson and I were damn high. The both of us were the 'highest' of the lot.

There was this group of 4 or 5 girls we met, I thought they were Daryl's friends and Daryl thought they were my friends, but they were just strangers. I remembered we gave them free drinks earlier on, so they returned and sat at our table, thinking they were Daryl's friends. One of the girls took a bottle, told me to open my mouth and poured the vodka into it. It almost choked me. Then they drank abit and left. Wth... It's like some random people nobody knows took some of our drinks and left, and we thought they were someone's friends until they left.

I haven't been blogging much lately. Guess my life is too dull.

2008-10-12T18:16:00.003+08:00

It has been a month since I last posted. What happened during this 1 month time:

-Took a flight on a Chinook helicopter.
-Partied hard on my birthday week.
-Watched dvds in camp for 2 weekends because I got charged.
-Sandra left for Japan, was unable to send her off though.
-Meifang left for London, again was unable to send her off (I was on confinement).
-Finally got to meet Samantha.

2008-09-12T17:38:00.002+08:00

Celebrated my birthday with Sandra, Yixuan, Pear and Cecilia at "The Herstorians: High School Musical" at Zouk. It was a lesbian party. Haha my first time.

They bought me a cake (they bought me a shirt last week), so nice of them.

I felt a little sorry for not being able to send Sandra off to Japan on Monday. She will only be back sometime next March. Damn it. I was charged with 14 days SOL, cus i misfired. I wouldn't be able to book out for 14 days after being charged. So that is worth 2 weekends. I will be spending my next 2 weekends in camp, alone.

2008-08-31T15:35:00.002+08:00

I hate it when Sundays come. I hate to book in. I hate everything I am tasked to do. I get depressed these few weeks because I know there is a whole lot of shit to do. Fuck this. Fuck people who do not help.

2008-08-24T18:22:00.002+08:00

Went to Sandra's 21st birthday last night at a ballroom in Rasa Sentosa. I have not seen her for years, and when we reached there, Grace, Chi Guan and I had difficulty identifying her.
During the show segment, there was a part where they got a male stripper to lap dance on Sandra while she sat in the middle of the ballroom. It was hilarious, but Mrs Tay wasn't so happy about it and told the show organiser to tell the stripper (who was already in his small underwear and all over Sandra) to stop.

After the show segment, they turned the ballroom into a club. They had a bar serving us drinks. Chi Guan and I downed 3 tequila shots, 2 glasses of vodka orange, a glass of champagne and a glass of wine.

All our faces were so red after that. Sandra was nearly drunk. We went to Sandra's room upstairs with sister and their friends from St Joseph's Convent. Half the girls were puking after a while and they still wanted to go St James with Chi Guan and I. Sandra's mum had a rather hard time getting the girls to change before going St James' with us, but by the time they settled down, it was 2am already. So CG, Lead, Henry and I decided to go home. Mr Tay (Sandra's dad) called his chauffeur to drive us all back.

2008-08-16T14:12:00.002+08:00

Wei An introduced me to a chinese singer on Youtube. Her name is Jane Zhang and she is a TERRIFIC singer. Watch out as she does the "dolphin cry" in the song "Loving You", especially near the end of the video.

She has a good voice, and she is pretty. Damn why can't i get a girlfriend like that?

2008-08-10T21:16:00.002+08:00

HAPPY BELATED NATIONAL DAY!!!

It is finally over. My company is enjoying off till Tuesday. I get attached to a course and it starts tomorrow :(

NDP pictures will be up soon once I get them from Lian Siah.

2008-08-04T19:17:00.004+08:00

NEXT SATURDAY IS 9TH OF AUGUST!!! The BIG show is on! I had seen my fair share of celebrities during these few weeks, Joi Chua, Hady, Michelle Chong, Adrian Pang and Jean Danker.

Life after Aug 9 is going to be hell...

2008-07-02T22:12:00.002+08:00

NDP rehearsals have been tiring as usual. Come to think of it, I actually don't mind doing it or burning my Saturdays.

I felt like going Phuture tonight BUT, I am so damn tired I would probably faint from exhaustion tomorrow if I were to go. I need PLENTY of rest and sleep.

2008-06-15T15:08:00.003+08:00

I have been really busy over the NDP rehearsals. Burning my weekends (both Saturdays and Sundays). Really hope the actual parade itself would go smoothly so all our efforts will not go to waste.

Missed out on Regina's birthday bash because of the rehearsal yesterday. Gonna miss out on my uncle's housewarming party next weekend again :(

2008-05-26T19:01:00.003+08:00

Price of flour has risen, fuel prices are rising (can u actually believe it used to cost US$30 a barrel and price now is approximately US$130), price of rice is rising too. It is getting more and more expensive to live everyday...

Want to save on rice money? Eat western. Pork chops, chicken chops, lamp chops and steaks. Oh, don't forget the fries too!

The only thing that has not risen is my allowance!

2008-05-17T18:48:00.004+08:00

I realised I haven't posted any pictures of my overseas 'trip' yet. 'Cus they were too big and I was lazy...

2008-05-05T21:36:00.002+08:00

Went drinking at some pub called "SHE BANG" in Boat Quay last Friday. It was the twin brothers' birthday. I was so drunk i started talking trash, which my friends reminded me this afternoon. BUT I DIDN'T BARF!!! Half the guys were acting like Merlions LOL!

It was fun. Had to drag Xu and An De home cus they were wasted. Xu managed to get home by himself and An De insisted on going my place. I was extremely reluctant but he was extremely insistent. He even said he wasn't going to barf. Ya right... Went to my toilet and puked all over the toilet seat. That was about 5am. I left him sleeping on my dining room floor while I slept in my room. Woke up at 10.30am, kicked him out of my house, bathed and went back to sleep. Woke up at 5pm with a splitting headache.

2008-03-29T17:26:00.003+08:00

I will be away for about 3 weeks. I'm not looking forward to the trip though. I will be back on 20th April. Hope it would not be as bad as I think it is...

2008-03-27T21:28:00.002+08:00

I realised for quite sometime that I've changed. I've become bolder, more vocal and my judgement is more accurate now.

I do things that I didn't used to do. I DID things that I THOUGHT was impossible.

2008-03-23T11:38:00.003+08:00

Watched STEP UP 2 THE STREETS last night. The show was cool.

And Briana Evigan is HOT! She looks a little like Kristen Dunst.

This is a rather nice movie, worth going down the cinema to watch!

2008-03-16T18:28:00.002+08:00

TAKE NOTE: I will not be in Sg from 28/03/2008 to 20/04/2008. Try not to call me, besides my phone will be off most of the time.

By the way Melissa, the above statement does not apply to you. YOU WILL CONTINUE TO UPDATE ME ON SCORES :P Pleaseeeeeeeee do so ok? A few cents won't kill you lol.

Yesterday was a fantastic day. Went to places to enjoy good hawker fare. Jeremiah drove us around woot!

2008-03-09T18:51:00.002+08:00

I didn't have much sleep over the last 2 weeks. I was sleeping outfield couple of weeks ago, and when i returned to camp, word has it that there was a fugitive on the run. Alot of people got activated and burnt their weekends. I thought I could enjoy my Friday night (book out you see), but I had to do guard duty on Saturday.

Booked out on Sunday morning, went home and napped for 2 hours. My dark eye circles are prominent, reminding myself how much rest I need.

2008-02-23T21:51:00.002+08:00

Just what have I been doing these past 2 weeks? Well, things like pushing a 13 ton vehicle which broke down, going on field camp, cleaning weapons and going for live range.

Life is so boring.

2008-02-08T23:17:00.000+08:00

Drove my mum and sis to Downtown East for reunion dinner at Sakura, with my cousins, aunt and 2 uncles. On the way there, my mum was arguing with my sis about something which I dun bother to remember. On the way back, my sis and I were arguing with my mum about something else which I dun remember too.

On the way back, there was this ah beng who was jaywalking. He saw me coming but he didn't stop. He expected me to stop in the middle of the road and wait for him to cross. My sis was pissed and she said, "Dun give way to him! Horn him!" I was pissed too and I did honked that bloody beng, not because my sis told me to do so (my hand was on the horn when she said that). My vehicle brushed past him and he stared at me and I stared back. JAY WALKERS LIKE THESE SHOULD GO TO HELL! Long golden hair, walking like his grandfather owned the road. Ya sure, if your grandad's name is Pasir Ris...

Not happy that I honked you, then come chase me boy, come boy, I've got 4 wheels and you've only got 2 legs...

2008-02-03T18:24:00.000+08:00

Chinese New Year is coming and this cheapo here spent only S$49 on a piece of shirt for CNY! hahaha. I dun want to spend much because I want to spend more money on more clothes in Taiwan!

2008-02-03T11:06:00.000+08:00

I watched the movie "Atonement" yesterday evening. It was a fantastic show. Very meaningful and the plot is just superb. It's about how a lie from a 13 year old changed the entire life of her sister and her boyfriend.

Oh yes! Chinese New Year is coming! Looking forward to the red packets and goodies :)

2008-01-27T11:35:00.000+08:00

My internet connection was screwed up last night. I kept on getting disconnected in the middle of my games and skype conferences, bloody hell. Gonna try again later.

Poured myself a cup of Moët & Chandon champagne halfway through the game lol. Found it in the fridge. It had been in the fridge for almost a year already man! My sis told my mum to buy it from DFS and then she threw it in the fridge and forgot about it. So last night i opened it and shared it with my dad and his cousin who will be leaving tomorrow.

2008-01-20T17:03:00.000+08:00

training is very fierce... i dun get enough sleep. nobody does. and everything is so chaotic. weekends and holidays are about the only things i look forward to right now. i miss doing alot of things. i miss watching drama series, miss playing mj with my friends, miss watching football with them as well.

I WANT MY LIFE BACK!

2008-01-06T19:22:00.000+08:00

Late post: Nights out with Regi, Jan, Nat, Terry, Roger n Terrence was FUN!

went for bbq at my cousin's place yesterday evening. realised that my sis has become the most famous bimbo in singapore... fiona xie said she is straightforward, and the gan ai gan hen (dare to love and hate) type of girl. xu zheng rong said she is brave. it was all over the newspapers, even 8-days labelled her as their fave bimbo. thinking of the ans she gave in Q&A, it's no wonder.

i'm watching Aston Villa vs Portsmouth match. it's half time now. then, i realised why England crashed out of Euro 2008. it was simple.

they didn't play DAVID JAMES and GARETH BARRY. why partner FRANK LAMPARD with STEVEN GERRARD? why put SCOTT CARSON in between the posts? any school kid who watches football would tell u the best partner for STEVEN GERRARD in midfield would be GARETH BARRY.

hope JOSE MOURINHO becomes the next England manager...

2007-12-04T20:10:00.000+08:00

thursday afternoon, 2.30pm started with prep for 28km route march.
we took a bus to Kranji War Memorial with our field packs (10kg, our sergeants actually weighed them), rifles, helmet and vests. reached there at about 6+pm.

the ceremony started at about 9pm. where we paid respects to the heroes of WWII. and commanding officer laid the wreath. after that we did our warm ups for our march.

march started at 10+pm. we walked through lim chu kang, MOE camp, girl guides camp, Neo Tiew Crescent and then some army training area.

reached back to Pasir Laba Camp at 5.30am the following day. first time i sleep-walked. the Zzz monster attacked me at about 3am. so frigging tired already.

rested about 1 hour till 6.30am and went for parade in full battle order where they gave me my chevrons.

left the camp at 2pm. last time i'm booking out. i was posted to armour training institute. waved goodbye to those staying back for advanced course. kinda sad.

2007-11-23T13:12:00.000+08:00

this week was sheer hell.

Chemical Warfare training. they donned us up in chemical suits and gas masks. then they threw 10 of us into a gas chamber. the chamber was filled with tear gas. then they told us to do some basic exercises inside and then for the finale, we took off our gas masks, gave our NRIC no., rank and name. when i took off my mask, for the first 3 secs i felt nothing. then, the gas started burning my nose, my throat, my eyes and my face. then i quickly got out of the chamber. everyone was groaning in agony outside. i couldn't open my eyes. they were tearing and i felt like there were hundreds of hornets stinging my face. it took about 5mins before i could open my eyes again.

i passed my SOC (finally!)... min passing time was 10:29 mins. i took 10:22mins. haha. i almost collapsed at the end point. pushed myself till i felt like dying.

AND I GOT MY CORPORAL RANK!!!!!

2007-11-18T19:59:00.000+08:00

GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME!!! I'VE LOST WEIGHT!!!
it is not good cus i'm slim* enough...

2007-11-10T15:58:00.000+08:00

"this is sgt desmond. you have been activated for guard duty because someone couldn't make it. i dunno who is it but u can go find out. book in by tonight 2300."

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHO EVER THAT BASTARD IS!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!! THERE GOES MY LIVERPOOL MATCH!!! FUCKING HELL!!!

2007-11-08T15:59:00.000+08:00

everything is in a mess right now.

2007-11-04T10:56:00.000+08:00

went back to tekong for my final field camp called Grand Slam. what happened at Grand Slam:

a couple of my mates got stung by hornets.
i was made section commander of the final ambush mission.

during the field camps over the last 3 weeks, i have been waging a war. i fought losing battles with mosquitoes and sand flies. my hands and thighs are bitten and they look horrendous. but i'm one of the luckier ones. some cases were far more worse than mine.

2007-10-28T15:44:00.000+08:00

mosquitoes bit through my uniform, can you believe that? mosquito bites all over my body.

2007-10-20T14:34:00.000+08:00

monday was exercise "Gypsy 2" in the forest of Mandai. couldn't find the check point and it was demoralising. it's not that we are lost, it's just that we couldn't find that stupid tree in that stupid forest during the day. though we found our night checkpoint at night.

that is where the funny part comes. we are forbidden to walk on the road but who cares? we followed the road to our checkpoint and found another group of soldiers sitting beside the road trying to radio to HQ. our checkpoint was just beside the road, about 50m into the forest.

"what happened? why u all sitting here?"
"got snake inside."

it was my last checkpoint and i wanted to end the exercise early so i decided to go in. some of them were afraid of the snake. few of us decided to go in, take note of the password of the checkpoint, while the rest of the group stayed outside. did'nt take long for us to find the checkpoint. i wrote down the password and we quickly went back to the road.

there is a "Rover Drill" where we were not supposed to be seen by oncoming vehicles. and we were not supposed to be on the road so if our commanders happen to drive by in the Land Rover, we are goners. we were sitting around the bend beside the road. suddenly we saw headlights from a vehicle approaching the bend. and Farhan shouted.

"ROVER!!!!"

1 SECOND WAS ALL IT TOOK FOR ABOUT 15 SOLDIERS TO DISAPPEAR FROM THE ROAD INTO THE FORES! 1 bloody second and everyone scrammed.

end up, it was just a golf buggy (Singapore Island Country Club was just beside the forest).

2007-10-14T17:55:00.000+08:00

for the next 3 weeks there will be field camps. will be sleeping in the jungle, hope it will be fun... and not too tiring :P

2007-10-12T19:58:00.000+08:00

"Where are we?"
common question right? but the last thing u wanna hear, in the middle of the forest at Mandai at 9pm with your water supply running low is,

"I dunno."

bashing through the forest is seriously a pain in the ass, literally. the trees have THORNS! TREES NOT CACTUS! in the dark, u would just tend to grab anything and push it out of the way. we are not allowed to use torchlights. so one can hear the occasional scream of "OUCH FUCK!" and when u turn on the torchlight, u will be shocked that u just grabbed something that looks like a cactus. i was the 2nd man in front. bashing through the dead fall with my bare hands has caused several scratches on my hands, plus the several mosquitoes bites.

being the front man is the worst thing. u walk into spiderwebs. my whole face went into one.

oh ya... one team got lost inside. found them at about 11.30pm.

but when the whole team look back, we thought it was an enjoyable experience, though it was exhausting.

2007-09-29T20:55:00.000+08:00

Unit: SISPEC, Foxtrot Company
Vocation: Infantry Leader

maybe i wanna go after BSLC (basic section leader course). be a corporal and that's it. go ASLC (advanced section leader course) need to go infantry unit. infantry unit is not fun man... seriously not fun at all...

hope can go signal after BSLC...

2007-09-28T23:21:00.000+08:00

First thing i saw when i walked into my bunk on my first day in Foxtrot Coy was a tall stack of books and manuals on top of my shoe cupboard. my jaw just dropped.

they told us to show some decency by not running around in underwear outside our bunks because of the female trainees in our 2 neighbouring companies. then the order was passed down that "ALL TRAINEES MUST BE FULLY CLOTHED WHEN OUTSIDE BUNK". inconvenient for me because i always go to e shower in my underwear, because there isn't much space to hang clothes in e cubicle.

lots of lectures this week. fell asleep for most of them. physical training is rather tough but still can take it. got lotsa things to buy tomorrow.

and i'm loving SOC!!!

2007-09-19T21:53:00.000+08:00

went sentosa today. sunburnt now. later going mos. alvin just sms-ed me. he trying to pang-sei. i pang-sei chien to go mos with them.

2007-09-17T22:30:00.000+08:00

returned back home n played a short while of game and then i went to shower. gonna meet my friends at city hall for KBOX!!! lol. very long never go kbox.. like i never K-ed for YEARS...

supposed to meet e rest at 5.00pm at marina bay for steamboat. but we sang till 5.30pm, and then we went to the foodcourt to accompany veggie for dinner (he's vegetarian so he can't have steamboat with us). called JR to tell them go ahead first cus we will be VERY late. but he said they still waiting for leo. by e time we arrived they have already started for 10mins ONLY. we arrived at about 6.30pm. veggie just bought a drink, sat there and talk cock with ah bui.

2007-09-16T22:20:00.000+08:00

tekong's night sky very nice. alot of stars, and it's very beautiful. during night live firing i lie on the ground in the shooting range with ppl shooting live rounds in front of me and watch the stars.

on the 3rd night of field camp, when we lay our groundsheets in e forest to sleep, i looked up through the opening on top of me. the moon was very bright with the stars shining so brightly. it was beautiful. the moonlight cast shadows of trees around me.

jawn said if only can bring girlfriend...

true, it would be romantic and enjoyable. but i dun have a girlfriend. if i do, i would love to share the experience with her.

2007-09-14T19:53:00.000+08:00

finally i know the real meaning of "birds of the same feather flock together"...

2007-09-11T17:06:00.001+08:00

happy birthday to me! thank you to all my platoon mates and friends who remembered! today is also the day i graduate from my basic military training! lazy to post e pix now. wait till i get e pix from my mates first.

2007-08-08T20:42:00.000+08:00

i miss "Murder Mayhem", "Rocket Race" and all e games we played. can't believe i miss work. i miss working with everybody!

2007-08-05T00:52:00.000+08:00

bought "HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HOLLOWS" when i booked out couple of weeks ago.. managed to read half of e book in a single day before i booked in again on sunday. didn't book out for the past 2 weeks because of field camp. first 2 days of field camp was demoralising because of e damned rain. i hate to sleep in the basha because there isn't much space inside to pack ur stuff. spent 2 bloody days in that stupid tent before moving camp Fibua. spent e rest of field camp in Fibua sleeping in e open. the moonlight was bright. the sky was so clear i could see e stars at night. i enjoy sleeping in e open better. the ground was much cooling.
on the 2nd night at Fibua we had to dig our trenches. rectangular trenches which reminds everyone of graves, so it was like digging our own graves. i took time to dig mine nicely. make sure e base of e trench was flat. dun wanna sleep on lumpy ground.
field camp was quite fun but very exhausting.

2007-07-06T22:20:00.000+08:00

So when u turn to hide your eyes
Cause the movie it made u cry
That's when I love u
I love u
A little more each time
And when u cant quite match you clothes
Or when u laugh at your own jokes
that's when I love u I love u
More then u know
And when u forgot that we had a date
Or that look that u give when u show up late
Baby I love u ,I love u anyway

2007-07-05T14:21:00.000+08:00

FERNANDO TORRES IS FINALLY A RED!!! WOW!!!

EPL 07/08 will be much much much more exciting now...

2007-07-04T17:16:00.000+08:00

the most common words one can hear in the army are "yes sir", "no sir", "yes sergeant", "no sergeant" and "fuck you"...

i'm on Attend C status, which basically means i'm unfit for duties and i have a 3 days MC... which means i'm home now and that is why i am typing this. i never chao keng. i had a fever, 38.2 deg C, and a throat infection. booked out on tuesday morning and will be booking in on friday morning. and then, book out again on friday noon. my officer wanted to give me a long weekend cus he felt there was no point for me to come back on friday morning and book out again 3 hours later. but rules are rules, so i will be booking in on friday morning for free lunch before booking out.

my throat still hurts, but the fever has subsided. slept for most of the day yesterday after i reached home. i'm not allowed to step out of the house. if they find me out of the house without valid reason i will be charged.

i am so bored. can someone call me and entertain me?

2007-06-29T19:49:00.000+08:00

after 2 weeks of confinement i'm back home again. took a few days to adjust to army life haha. exrecising everyday is tiring but quite enjoyable. "what doesn't kills you makes you stronger"... that is what they tell us.. so what doesn't makes you stronger kills you?

our sergeant told ghost stories about my company, Orion Company, where there will be a little tugging your blanket in the middle of the night. scared the shit out of my whole bunk and we didn't dare to open our eyes after lights out. Thursday nights are always the most "haunted" nights. last friday morning someone found a strand of long hair on his bedsheets. sergeant said it is an evidence that something visited last night. n this morning, i found a strand of long hair on my bed... no one has hair that long... n EVERYBODY was sleeping in a mosquito net... SO HOW ON EARTH DID THE HAIR GET THROUGH THE MOSQUITO NET!!!

going back to camp on sunday evening... this is what i look like now...

2007-06-14T18:19:00.001+08:00

hello everyone! bing hong is going army tomorrow... MISS ME OK!?

2007-06-10T00:44:00.000+08:00

2007-06-07T23:45:00.000+08:00

went changi beach club with jawn today. went to the gym then went swimming... jawn is a member there so its free! then we went changi village eat char kway tiao n it taste quite good. we were so hungry we bought chui kuay to eat after finishing our kway tiao.

jawn went to some provision shop to look at torchlights. the torches were hanging from the counter n i tried one out to see how bright it was. bad move. i got electrocuted when i turned e torch on. i told jawn about it n he tried it n got electrocuted too lol! he told e shopkeeper e torch was spoilt but the shopkeeper just nodded his head. didn't even remove it. one day one old man try e torch n die at his shop then he know (though i hope such thing won't happen). jawn wanted to buy that faulty torch to prank ppl, so evil...

2007-06-01T23:14:00.000+08:00

im sick of my mum telling me "have u read e newspaper? some guy died from using computer." usually i just ignore her but today i told her "so i would just die here later"

if it is so easy to die in front of a comp i would have dropped dead before i completed my sec sch education... n i would be one of e billions who have died.

these types of senseless arguments are pissing me off. those people they no get up n stretch thus e blood is not circulating they probably die from the "economy class" syndrome. and they have gone for days without food, water n held their pee n shit for probably 40 litres? why 40 litres? cus a guy died from this competition to get a free Wii console... the competition is called "HOLD YOUR WEE FOR A WII"

2007-05-21T00:26:00.000+08:00

im still at taiwan! but im running low on cash le... transport cost a bomb cus we took the bullet train from taipei to e southern coast of taiwan... will be uploading pics when im back in sg. the temp here is cool n i like it. alot of pretty girls! haha.

2007-05-12T14:20:00.000+08:00

last night while i was driving along bukit timah road, some bloody suv with a bloody impatient driver inside was behind me.. the road had some bends n speed regulating stripes so i couldn't drive fast. that bastard tailgated me... when i didn't increase my speed, that fucker flashed his high beam. like what the hell man... i was at a bend with speed regulating stripes and going DOWNSLOPE.. of course must slow down wat.. the road expanded into 2 lanes near the junction at the bottom of e slope and that asshole accelerated n sped down the slope and turned right.. imagine if his car flipped... probably a drink driver..

im going overseas to taiwan on monday and i'm sick!! what luck... the bloody weather is making everybody sick...

2007-05-09T17:06:00.000+08:00

I WANNA GO ANFIELD!!!

2007-05-02T16:37:00.000+08:00

WOOHOO WE R THRU TO ATHENS, GREECE!!!!!!!

Rafa called me n told me to meet the team at the team hotel on 23rd May... i will be playing alongside Stevie G in central mid...

there were a few scares by chelsea during the game but no worries, it was Reina's day... N IT IS PROVEN THAT GERRARD IS BETTER THAN LAMPARD... Stevie should be in the centre of the park for England with Owen Hargreaves!

Muhammad fell asleep during extra time n woke up only after penalties lmao! had to give him n boontah wake up calls at 2am... Lampard was having an off day..

highlights:

DIRK KUYT HAD A GOAL DISALLOWED FOR OFFSIDE! BUT HE WAS ONSIDE! STUPID LINESMAN!

Kuyt hits e crossbar.

Cech saves a Pennant volley.

Drogba misses contact with a low cross sent in by somebody (can't rmb who).

DOGBA dives. the ball had hit his dog face but he tried to make it as if it was Agger (the goal scoring hero) who elbowed him.

chant this:
REINA IS PK KING AND CECH CAN'T SAVE A THING!

2007-04-29T18:26:00.001+08:00

i had a very bad week.. dun ask why... April is a bad month for me... bad things always happen in April.

btw, i was really joking when i told u i was contemplating suicide...

i'm not so weak u know?

My Views: Barclay's Premier League

2007-04-16T21:22:00.000+08:00

The EPL's season is coming to an end. Watching recent Premier League's highlights reminded me of past and present players.

I present to you the flops of English Premier League's (past and present). These are just my own views of course...

Goalkeeper: Massimo Taibi, Manchester United (1999).
The goalkeeper who blamed his poor performances from his gloves to his boots. Got himself into Fergie's black books after Man Utd were thrashed 5-0 at Chelsea in October 1999. I heard about his infamous acts when i was in Pri 6 (I was Arsenal supporter then because Tony Adams was my hero).

Defender: Titus Bramble, Newcastle United (present).
The centre back who is so prone to errors. For a moment I thought of Pascal Cygan (Arsenal, though I'm not sure if he is still there), but i came to the conclusion that Bramble deserves it.

Midfielder: I don't know any. Tag me if you do.

Forward: Luque, Newcastle United (present).
He is surely, definitely over-rated and over-priced. Maybe he was good in the La Liga but he just couldn't adapt to the Premiership. I thought of Micheal Owen, Newcastle United. I'm sorry mel but even though he has the talent, he isn't worth so much because he is so prone to injury. Thank goodness Liverpool didn't buy him back from Real Madrid!

Manager: Glenn Roeder, Newcastle United (present).
What can you say about a man who managed to relegate a team of talents while he was with West Ham. Talents like Joe Cole, Jermaine Defoe and many more which I cannot remember. With Newcastle's current squad, I seriously wonder why they are not in the top six...

OK! MY DREAM TEAM OF THIS SEASON:

Goalkeeper: Jussi Jaaskelainen (GK Bolton Wanderers)

Defenders: Steve Finnan (RB, Liverpool), Jamie Carragher (CB, Liverpool), John Terry (CB Chelsea), Leighton Baines (LB Wigan)

Midfielders: Noberto Solano (RM Newcastle United), Steven Gerrard (CM Liverpool), Gilberto Silva (CM Arsenal), Christano Ronaldo (LM Manchester Utd)

Forwards: Didier Drogba (CF Chelsesa), Wayne Rooney (SS Manchester Utd)

Manager: Alex Fergurson (Manchester Utd)

If you wonder what SS means, it means shadow/support striker.

2007-04-12T23:34:00.000+08:00

i'm a procrastinator. is it my habit or is it my nature? i do not know. is it because i dun want to face the reality of the situation? or is it because i hope for more choices to appear before i make up my mind. sometimes i make up my mind about something before i'm willing to commit into it. thus when i change my mind repeatedly, i may appear to be fickle minded. i often make decisions which i will regret later on. maybe that is why i procrastinate? leaving everything to the last minute until i can feel the urgency and thus be motivated/forced to make a decision. throwing a problem aside doesn't solve it!

2007-04-11T23:37:00.000+08:00

picked up eddy n jh at bishan mrt n we drove to botak jones at amk ave 5 for dinner. strange how things turn out, the one with least driving experience has the license first lol!

after dinner i drove 2 yishun to send jh home then wanted to go amk send eddy home. but he directed me to e wrong lane n we ended up heading for PIE towards changi airport. i kept left while on e highway hoping the next exit was near. ended up in jalan kayu n then sengkang. from sengkang we managed to find our way to amk. then dropped eddy off then i went home. lol. MY PARKING STILL SUX! lmao.

btw i think i almost hit a police car...
