After 12 weeks of grueling course, i finally passed out as a true sea soldier. Alright, I have to follow law by law, so for those who want to know what the course is all about, then please ask me personally, before i kenna charge for blogging about SAF in camp training. Hahaz. The 20th batch went through lots of hardship, chao keng time and sweat lots of litres of water. This course has nurtured me to become a much tougher person compared to before. Also, it gives me the opportunity to prove my leadership as an IC, even though i did screw up some times. Anyway, thanks to 20th Shield section, and sergeant Gerald and Jian Sheng for helping me to cope with the course. See you guys, soon.
One year and 3 months ago. That was the time when my life crumbled. My relationship and best-friendship were gone. It took me 6 months to recover from the disaster. The recovery is slow, and during that time, I reflected on myself. I still could remember at times, i couldn't concentrate on my studies, resulting in the plummeting of my results. I still could also remember the times when i use to sleep 9 to 10 hours a day, just to escape from that suffering. I still could remember the days, when i sit in front of the computer and open my folder which is full of mp3, and blast songs into my eardrum. I still could remember the days in which my soul is not where it is always be. I still could remember the feeling after she put down the phone, during valentine day. I still could remember the feeling at that time when i had decided to disregard him as a best friend. It suck. It did suck. However, all those unfortunate incident had re-built my character. I have learnt to be more calm as compared to last time, and know how to handle my emotion really well. And that's who i am now...
Green Day - 21 Guns
Do you know what's worth fighting for When it's not worth dying for? Does it take you breath away And you feel yourself suffocating? Does the pain weigh out the pride? And you look for a place to hide? Did someone break your heart inside? You're in ruins...
One, 21 guns Lay down your arms Give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky You and I
When you're at the end of the road And you lost all sense of control And your thoughts have taken their toll When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul Your faith walks on broken glass And the hangover doesn't pass Nothing's ever built to last You're in ruins
One, 21 guns Lay down your arms Give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky You and I
Did you try to live on your own When you burned down the house and home? Did you stand too close to the fire? Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone
When it's time to live and let die And you can't get another try Something inside this heart has died You're in ruins
One, 21 guns Lay down your arms Give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky You and I
Soomebody request me to update my own blog, so I have bothered to blog now. A lot of people say that i am MIA-ing or don't know where the hell am i. So, let me update you guys, i am serving NS, and this is my 4th month in NS.
Things started to get bored a bit, especially the course that i am attending now. 4 more weeks to POC. ARGHh. Time flies. In the end, i am still waiting for the pay rise so that i can save up for my university which will only start in two years later.
18 years on earth, Enlighten, sudden realization.
Besides staring in front of the computer, why not... I told myself, why not learn a new language, or maybe even a skill, such as cooking?
Anyway, my course is getting more and more boring,(partly because i have achieved almost everything that the course required)So, just this afternoon i stepped into Woodlands library to borrow short stories and a book - 13 secrets for speaking fluent japanese.
Weekends, kind of bored and kind of lazy to go out, so i usually stay at home and take 3-4 hours nap. Sometimes, i felt that i should rather stay in camp to enjoy, but somehow, i still feel that being freed from camp is the best. =D (It means more good food - Macs, KFC and Long John & Arcade everyday)
Ok. A lot of people urges me to update my blog to find out what happen to me. Thanks for those who reminded me because if not i might have just forgotten about my blog.
Basically nothing much but i am not looking forward to attending the sea soldier course, thanks to forums and blogs that mentioned that it is going to be a tough and regimental course. WaAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. BTW, now i am attending 2 weeks of RP course, sitting in lectures and sleep and never kenna scolded. Heaven for 2 weeks, Hell for 10 weeks.
I didn't have much time to go to the arcade until recently whereby i followed my parents to buy some stuff at Sun Plaza. So, I just visited the arcade and went to my favourite machine and start dancing. Not bad, my DDR skill is still there, just that it is not as good as before.
Alright, Pickboys might decide to learn cooking soon next year after i ORD and teaching for the way, even though it is going to be difficult. (Maybe i might find some part-time job or pray that IT fair is in december so that i can be a sales personnel standing down there for a few hours trying to sell hardisks)
Driving. Another one. I haven't even take the basic theory test yet. OH MY... When will i have the time to. Hope that time flies really fast, because i want to start working in my units as soon as possible (get used to it faster). By then, it will be October - November, one more year before i ORD.
1 day before the start of March, I have decided to revive my blog. For those who are wondering where have I disappeared to, I can tell you that i spend my weekdays in the far east end of Singapore, named Tekong.
LOLX. Ok la. I am in the army. hahaz. I am here to revive the post. This few weeks have just zoomed past before i knew it and i didn't realise that A level result is coming out this friday. Every single person in my platoon is talking about me and I was like heck caring all those time because i am simply to tired to even think.
ARGh. BTW, for those who are wondering whether I am learning Japanese, the answer is not yet, because i do not have the freaking time to read my source even. BLOODY HELL.
DDR. Abandoned. I think i will get back to it tomorrow because i might be meeting my friends for lunch. Yippee. =D . I didn't realise that a new version of DDR is coming out. Which is DDRX. Darn, i am so out of touch from this world.
Tekong is simply nice and beautiful. Every single morning, before 7am, you will see many stars in the sky and almost everytime, planes fly above your head. Everytime i see these planes i would wonder, why the hell am i not up there, sitting comfortably waiting for Xiang Ji to serve me. =D
LOL. Ok la. Cut the crap. Basically i got about 7 more working days to POP. Yippee. At least i have almost cleared this stage and i should have a well deserving rest. BTW, i just realised that sergeant hong guang is saffie's friend. Hahaz.
I try to touch on books la. xD. Look at my awesome english now. =X
Lol. Hate that word though but i am going to experience it soon.
Oops. It's going to be the end of the 2008 and the start of 2009, in which i am going to put on green clothings and migrate to the Tekong island for stayover. =). Oh no, i wonder what it is like there. Recently, i have been visiting website to find out how tough NS life could be. I really hope that 3 months will pass by really fast lo. Anyway, there are some mission that i still need to complete though even though most of my next year is being occupied by army.
So, here's my new year resolution:
1)Learning Japanese. After the As, I got a sudden motivation of learning japanese. Perhaps i have listened to too much japan song and sick and tired of not understanding the lyrics at all. Anyway, this should take about 2 years or so.
2)Brush up on my singing. 3)Learn Dancing.
No time for more things le actually, because army days is going to be taxing. >=)
I will be taken to a small island floated with guys. Time to go to the army! I have prepared most of my stuff already, except for that stupid alarm clock. ahhaz. Confinement in that island for 2 weeks sia, before coming out again for chinese new year. I really wonder what i will do in there. Marching? Kenna Pumping? Or throwing grenade at wild boars? Ok... 3 months will pass by very quickly. I am going to miss all of my friends.
Anyway, the next post that i might be posting should be a list of people i want to thank ba... Since, i seldom have any ideas to post for my blog.
In the meantime yesterday, Carol, Sam, Lawson, Josephine and Kenneth went to my house for a dinner. Oh, so while we are watching little nyonya, we play texas poker. It's kind of fun. (Sorry arh, now it's two in the afternoon and my brain still cannot function properly)
Oh ya, after that, Lawson and I went to fetch kenneth because he only could come later. So, while the girls claim that they are lazy to move, so the guys went. After that, Lawson received a call from them and say they wanted some alcohol, so he went to purchase. Oh, at that moment, i was thinking since when they will consume alcohol. So, it's left with me and Kenneth and i brought him to my house lo. So, when i realised that all the people had gone missing, i asked my sister where they were. She told me they had just went out. Later, Kenneth told me that there were at the playground. So, in the end when i reached there, Tada... there is a cake. i was wondering who's birthday is that. Lol.. They said that that is my belated 3 months old birthday. THANK YOU GUYS =), even though i seriously forgotten what i wrote from my previous blog.
Then, I called Mr Wee to come down and eat the cake (Mr wee is my maths teacher anyway) Lol... then photos, after photos, and photos. Some of us went to send Josephine and Sam home, while some of us just stay at my house. O. So, carol, lawson and kenneth stayed over at my house, playing some mahjong. Then, Lawson was so tired that he concussed on my house sofa. In the end, carol, kenneth and I decided to watch movie on the computer. So, we watched YESman. Lolx.. and soon after that they fell asleep.
Oh... I haven't die out yet, because i still have some radio stuff to handle. (it's the end of the year mah, they will be more programmes to handle) But after this, another long term break again, i dunno when i will be back again.
That's it for now. Two weeks later, i will say bye bye to the main island and go to Tekong.
