[ 291. The One With KBox Madness ]
.The Eve.
had a great dinner... lots of GOOD food like abalone, lobster, crab, scallop, sea cucumber, etc. even better than wat buddha jumps over the wall. forced to play mahjong wif my parents and my sis. absolutely no luck, never won once.
.Day 1.
just cant help but feel that CNY has lost its meaning... maybe long ago. today i went to visit my paternal relatives. maybe its the dialect. maybe its the generation gap. i find my sisters and i nothing to say to our relatives. as for the children of our relatives, we had nothing to say to each other. firstly they were either too young. If not, there were this two girls who were super hiao. You can see them touching up their make up or look into their cosmetic mirror every 5 mins. i think they kinda overdo their make-up. so thick that if i slap them, the powder would come off.
strangely all my relatives are 'strategically located'. i just need to travel from pasir ris to tampines. my maternal relatives are located at amk/bishan area.
after that, my sisters and i went to kbox. sang from 3-7pm. the bill came up to be 81 bucks!
haha. some1 so sweet accompany for dinner. orchard road was haunted that night. you can cross the roads without having to wait for the green light. it was a wonderful night. i wont beg for anything less! lol.
.Day 2.
this time i get to talk to my relatives cos i meet them often and they at least speak mandarin. managed to convince my stingy mum that a taxi ride is worth it from amk to bishan. end the day wif singing again. i'm addicted. enuff said.
it was a good night sleep. partly because of a $50 hongbao. partly shant disclosed.
.Day 3.
today the streets are empty again cos pple are either schooling or working. left NS guys like us wandering aimlessly.
high tea at some place wif my vball frenz.
vball game at night.
for now. adieu.

[ 290. The One With My 7th Book Out: An eventful week ]
so many happenings this week.
Sitest (situation test)
Live Grenade Throw
SOC (standard obstacle course)
Had to march 12km to the sitest, first time my feet felt numb. first day of the 3-day sitest, we had to learn basic knots and pick two skills that we want to learn.
there are:
medic (most shiong)
signaller (i chose this, cos its just radio comm)
navigator (another slack one)
demo
claymore
lawgunner
mine
i had the list of stations that we went through for the sitest. hee... i was IC for one of the mission and it was a success... first day i wasnt IC of any mission... we only succeed 2/6 missions. the second day we all 6 missions were successes :]
lucky there was a change in assessors...
as for hand grenade, it was once-in-a-lifetime experience... taking cover at the bay and hear the explosion and the vibration. shiok-ful.
safety ring twist
safety ring pull
safety pin out
grenade prepared and ready to throw, sir
hee... i'll never forget this :]
after the HG throw, came back for arms drill... sun is bloody hot and i almost fainted, so dehydrated... 10 mins break for a 2 hr footdrill session? all thanks to our sgt major. it was an interesting sight to see him shout at the sgts...
SOC... mmm... its like a military playground. not much problem... but its entertaining to watch others ...

[ 287. The One With My 5th Book Out]
booked out on thursday 1845. went to look for ipod shuffle but the taxi trip to orchard was in vain.
whole week training had been fun and slack. cos most of the time had to learn IFC (individual field craft) so not much PT. BCCT was shiong for the first time only. but seems like the instructor that we complained no longer teaching us. so nvr really did a lot of pumping... We learnt how to pitch basha tents and make barricades. a lot of pple got their magazine stolen... so we got wise and took it out and put in our webbing.
we had a camouflage test. and mine was the best! haha... they used code words like mohawk, leopard and delta. kinda obvious that mohawk was the best and delta meant cannot make it just by looking at the extent of the camouflage.
fieldcamp starting on sat. haiz. shiong 7 days, we have been pre-warned. powder bath for at least 5 days. disgusting combat rations for 5 days. goona have pimple outbreak soon, we have to put on camo cream for 7 days. washing off is damn hard.
my cough and flu finally ok le. ready for fieldcamp! bring it on. be back on fri :]

[ 286. The One With My 4th Book Out ]
i always dread the feeling when i have to book in. mon i having mood swing. It was the start of BMT. now anything they unhappy with us, they just have to ask us to knock it down or 'whole lot of you half left turn'. when there's nothing to do (muz get used to army's style of 'rush to wait, wait to rush', our PC (platoon commander) would ask us whether we want to do push-ups. not really a choice cos in the end still have to do. i being bunk IC also have to pump more during stand-by area.
but during our first BCCT (basic close combat training), we get to pump like crazy, do lots of jumping jacks like more than 100 same for gym training. the instructor got screwed, i think, for scolding us and misusing his authority. he was like asking 'are you all fuckers?' when nobody answered, he said, 'i tell u all, u all are.' but anyway we got all that because some didnt surrender hard objects in their uniforms. we have to shout at the top of our voice when we do the stunts or answering the instructor... plus all the singing at the route march, i have no more voice left. why all the shouting? cos we have to bne aggressive during close combat... mmm...
we had weapon presentation on tue... so i got my rifle. it can be a bad thing cos now almost everyday we have to draw arms and at night send arms. now every night we had very little admin time. by the time everything finished, we only had like 30 mins to bathe and do stuff.
we had our first aid test... was actually more fun if they accepted my way of doing stuff like CPR, evacuation. cos some of the methods they used not very correct. i used the recovery position, firstly they dunno wat it is, next they say i used wrong method. then for evacuation of injured soldiers, the casualty was too heavy so i used human stretcher, cos its the easiest when all the aiders had their full battle order on, where got strength to do fireman's lift. i realised something... after u haf done fireman's lift then how do we lower the casualty, the same way as we lift up? cos i had a bit of difficulty.
hee... sat came out when to have a great meal... having meals with loved ones.. especially good food... i could die for that man. :] well next book out is thur... fieldcamp coming... arghz...

[ 280. The One With My Last Civilian Day b4 Enlistment ]
today was a 'rush-hour' day for me... as usual had to go pray early in the morning. got nagged by my aunt who brought me there cos she couldnt contact me as i have lost my fone. i lost it after supper after vball game. talk abt the game, first time playing no4 position. fun!
after praying had to rush to lavender to buy army stuff... spent abt 35 bucks. got discount from the auntie cos i always buy red cross camp stuff there. :]
then rushed to have lunch with my friend at jack's place. wanted to treat me but we had a friendly money fight. lol. it was a memorable lunch and ate like 2 hours. if only every meal like dat, i would have been the happiest guy and a fat one! btw the brownie sucked. to my friend: i dun bare grudges ok! lol
then rushed to the karaoke centre at bishan, joined weishan, shu hui, yuhui, yingsheng to sing like mad. first time singing karaoke, feels gd... but bad to hog the mike. hope i didnt spoil their ear drums.
then tried to rush to pasir ris cos my grandmother wanted to pass me something and money. then i remembered i need to get my SIM card cos if not even with new phone, i cant make a call. so i dropped at tampines and to my horror, no m1 shop so i had to take a cab and rush down to sengkang. it was already 9.15pm. i was so scared the shop might close. then when i finally got the card, i took cab again to pasir ris. and after that i was too tired so i took cab back home again. :(
altogether abt 15 bucks on cab. but gd thing is lots of pple gave me money...

[ 279. The One With South District Camp ]
woke up early juz to make it for 12pm briefing but then in the end dun haf. felt so giddy maybe didnt sleep well. but lucky got Kat's febs tablets.
then in the afternoon awaiting the cadets, law sir shared wif me and the others abt his army days and gave me valuable survival tips and stuff to bring. it was indeed time well spent.
then managed to do abseiling, first time trying to climb down 3 stories at the campsite... revised my bowline knot.
so long nvr had a gd chat wif yu ching . glad that we are still at da same frequency. poor him... feel as lost as me.
america's next top model was yoanna... final 2 shld be shandi and yoanna. mercedes eeks.
then tue morning, woke up late as expected no time to take bus so i took a cab down to east coast park. wah $16.40. haha someone has to wake up alone.
the sch i was with had no motivation to win. lack of communication. no one was leading. simple map of popular locations like dhoby ghaut, city hall, bugis also dunno how to read. walked even slower than when i was doing recce. anyhow hum-tum the answer cos they nvr go briefing for the Quest. told them to manage their money wisely, in the end, $2 for lunch, they used 80 cents for cup noodles and $1.20 for Big Gulp at 7-11. some even ate into their transport fee... *faints*
i had to eat the same wif them except i nvr bought the drink cos every1 supposed to carry a water bottle with them. juz drink plain water la.
More stuff to buy: hangers of same colour. masking tape. wet tissue. ziplock bags.
so happy got pple buy dinner for me.
and i am finally 60KG!!!

then tue morning, woke up late as expected no time to take bus so i took a cab down to east coast park. wah $16.40. haha someone has to wake up alone.
the sch i was with had no motivation to win. lack of communication. no one was leading. simple map of popular locations like dhoby ghaut, city hall, bugis also dunno how to read. walked even slower than when i was doing recce. anyhow hum-tum the answer cos they nvr go briefing for the Quest. told them to manage their money wisely, in the end, $2 for lunch, they used 80 cents for cup noodles and $1.20 for Big Gulp at 7-11. some even ate into their transport fee... *faints*
i had to eat the same wif them except i nvr bought the drink cos every1 supposed to carry a water bottle with them. juz drink plain water la.
More stuff to buy: hangers of same colour. masking tape. wet tissue. ziplock bags.
so happy got pple buy dinner for me.

[ 278. The One With A Blast ]
today woke up had to tell my mum i going for south district camp, she was like 'wat? u no nid to rest before going to army?'
haiz. i dun like to laze ard. so this morning went for the contact session of the volunteer instructor programme...
haiz i guess i was a bit edgy abt the white pants yesterday... oops talking abt it, i forgot to return edwin's pants!
talking to the new batch of trainees abt my experiences is pretty fun i guess... they looked excited :]
and one of the trainees also called john... mmm... next time when the instructors scolded that john, haha wonder if they would laugh...
then went to SPANS for vball matches... pretty exciting. too bad they didnt give out the oscars best acting awards sia... its damn tough to try to lose a game. especially when pple love to laugh after they supposedly missed a shot.
marina steamboat super fun too... lots and lots of photo taking... then went into arcade and play too... super crappy mood. oh muz thank a group of you guys who bought the wind breaker for me... thanks a lot.. so touched... :]
i miss u today...

[ 276. The One With Fed-Up ]
weird pple part 2. shanZ and yingsheng! i think i was right about something...
i waited whole night for a sms cos i nid to get back my white pants from a cadet for tml's event! now dun haf... arghz. tml is white top white bottom. i haf no choice but to appear in jeans. serves me right for asking so late and assuming efficiency
oh ya back to weird pple, yest at orchard i saw a guy who's a drag... eww... he got at least 2m with the high-heel shoes... plain gay.
oh well. tml besides popping by volunteer instructor programme in an obviously wrong attire, i'm going for vball competition! haiz, know abt dinner @ marina wif my fellow frenz but hopefully the matches end early. wonder if i have the appetite.
does it take longer to type an sms or blog?
i chose the latter, but it seems i am stupid to choose that.

Now busy trying to get tips from seniors what other stuff i shld be bringing other than the standard pack list... so far, cd player, black permanent marker, black insulation tape... mmm... what else?

[ 273. The One With Feeling High ]
oh, yesterday was pretty high and hyped up because of campfire and other stuff :]
memorable
i think its been so long since i attended a campfire so felt kinda weird at first... feeling a bit sian seeing them setting up campfire... cos everytime set up campfire, so might feel a bit sian, nothing new...
yesterday before campfire, went to watch Without A Paddle with my some of my Nat Camp cadets. Supposed to be a comedy but dun think i even laugh... mmm... lucky its 6.50.
saw a lot of familiar faces at PS...
had a very gd nice sleep... finally a deep one...
morning woke up late... lol. had nice breakfast... saw my sec sch friend with another girl too... mmm...
on my way home... first a crazy man asking for $ to go home... early in the morning? i was thinking u got all the time now to walk to wherever u want in singapore lo... then there was a woman with big bottom (sorry) who sat beside me in the bus... gosh she took up more than half of the seat. i couldnt get up cos she kinda pressed on my hip bone and if i stood up i'm like a bit mean. so just kept quiet, hopefully she would alight early.
sun is good, gym sounds exciting and i have to hunt for my PS game... arghz... awaiting 6pm... a week has passed... a week later i'll be in tekong! muahaha...
