they say the grass is always greener on the other side.
sispec. ocs. others.

people in ocs are complaining:
abt the confinement period,
the tough training,
while thinking if it'd be better being in sispec.

people in sispec are complaining:
abt the tough training,
wondering why they cldnt make it to ocs in the first place,
while thinking if it'd be better being in the other vocations.

people in other vocations are complaining:
abt the tough training (having to endure thru' tons of lectures),
wondering what if they had made it into sispec in the first place,
while thinking that it was such a waste not to be in sispec or ocs.
and the cycle goes on....

they say the grass is always greener on the other side.
but izit really that green?

wahhhhh. 3months lehhh.. no updates?
haha. i guess i din missed anything much ba.
*nonoNO. u are nt looking at the same post!
its juz tt erm....*

hmmm. guess my first 3mths is abt to come to an end..
to all who are abt to be enlisted...
TWO MORE DAYS TO POP!!
haha. ok. well... i guess these 3 mths have passed really quick for me.
in a blink of an eye,
my sunflower seeds

have became

became a full bloomed sunflower plant le.
*my point here is to show tt time flies. nt to show off my superb gardening skills hor.*

well... erm. ya. the feeling of having 2 more days to POP.
well.. its kinda mixed feeling la.
on one hand, its quite sad to see some of my platoon mates leaving,
or even having to say a simple gd bye.
bt then again, I NO NID GO TEKONG AGAIN!
ok.wait. mb i shld reswitch the pts to make it sound better. okwadeva.

Many atimes we worry.
When i first gt my enlistment date,
i worry abt the ppl whom i wld meet and the life i'd have to endure.
When i first did my SOC run through,
i worry abt juz falling off tt steep slope and getting stuck in the barb wire.
When i first did my 4km route march,
i worry abt hw i was going to complete my 24km route march.
When i first ate my field ration,
i worry abt hw i was going to endure eating tt shit for 6 days.
When i first knew tt i wld be getting my Alvl results,
i worry abt hw the results wld turn out.
When i did complete my 24km route march,
i worry abt hw long i 'd be confined juz bcos of tt stupid piece of underwear.
And now, when i'm juz abt to POP,
i think abt all my worries and wonder. why did i worry in the first place.
So to those who are abt to get enlisted,
Enjoy ur BMT. cos the nxt thing u gonna worry abt,
is which unit wld u be posted into, and abt the ppl whom u wld meet and the life u'd have to endure.
and the cycle goes on and on and on....


kk. this rather rushed post.
cos no time le.
mb 'll edit a little sometime soon ba.
cos nw i'm seating here,
worrying tt i am going to be late....... =(

today is my bookout day, bookout bookout..
today is my bookout day o bookout day.

wahhhhh. 14days lehhh.. no updates?
haha. i guess i din missed anything much ba.

well army is really an eye opener for me ba.
when i first entered, i saw people with all different kinds of hairstyles.
some of them look rather nerdy la.
and i mean it.
[when u go in right,
you will really like.. wah! this type of people still exist ah!]
Den again, there were those that look ahbeng-ish,
golden hair,
no specs,
fat.

guess the first few days were quite a torture for me ba.
all those boring lectures,
and seemingly neverending slack time.
time moved real slow.

LUCKILY,
my platoon mates are nt too bad la.
a fun bunch of wierdos,
who juz luv havin fun.
abt half of my section mates are frm uniform grps..
so their standards are considerably higher.
bloody hell. things i kannt guo de, they like yi ru fan zhang man..

Now, moving on to foodwise lehhh..
like zz say,
they always give alot alot of fd.. (nt as if its so nice la.)
another pt to note is that..
they attempt to vary their morning beverages by naming them differently, even though they all taste the same..
RICO, MILO, chocolate...
mygdness.

2 more days to book in day, book in book in,
2 more days to book in day, o book in day.
[o wait. tml muz go SDC in No.4.. sian...........]

in 14 hours time,
it would be D-day le..
welll.. guess i'm already well prepared.
so let it come man!!
and please bring along great bunkmates too..
(bt pls remove the sbj/injections part)


_

i feel like blogging abt sth.
bt i duno wad to blog abt..
so erm.
yar.
tt's abt it.

Thoughts of a pre-enlistee.
The Army.
Since my primary school days,
i've always dreaded for the arrival of this very day.
Well, i guess nobody is looking forward to it either.
I still remember when i young, i kept taking note of how many years more would it take for me to have to be enlisted.

Often, I have seen many army men waiting for the bus to tekong,
loitering around whitesands.
and now, the ball has to be passed upon us.. the dragon babies.

well, there might be some of us who are curious,
what is going through the minds of a pre-enlistee..
are you afraid?
are you worried?
are you prepared?
well, for me, NS is something everyone has to go through.
and since, i was once in NCC, i would duo duo sao sao have a slight advantage over others liao.. (in terms of knowledge of commands, drills)
so for me, i am not so worried yet.

I ain't scared of all the punishments etc,
I ain't scared of the hardship tt i would face.
I ain't scared of the lack of hair on my head.
However, knowing that 9 days is all i have left to that dreadful day,
can still be quite a chore.

In 9days time,
i would be going to see people tt i will be suffering with for the next 3 months.
people that would go through all the scoldings/punishments with me.
i will discover and interact with people from all walks of life,
and eventually, appreciate that there are people out there, making NS bearable.
They say your 1st 3 months would be the most memorable moments of ur NS life,
and i'm going to treasure it. hopefully.

Dislikes:
- being ordered
- being punished
- being injected
- being botak
- having to venture into the unknown
- having a possiblity of recoursing
- standing broad jump
- being last.

Likes:
- none as yet.

well i'm training. i have no idea if it does help within such a short time, but i'm trying.. hope it does pay off..

9 days and counting..

my only wish this year

(o btw, if u din know, in order to kill my boredom, me decided to try planting some seeds tt i bot frm ntuc.. bot some sunflower seeds, n petite orange seeds.. nxt time need sunflower seeds come get frm me man! they grow damn fast...)

well nvm... it's okay.. i understand.

Person A: hey u think your grandmother road ahh. like that slowly stroll in the middle of the road..
Person B: aiya.... nvm la no car.
this is usually a normal reply.

Person A: hey u think your grandmother road ahh. like that slowly stroll in the middle of the road..
Person B: no la. is my dad's road..
Person A: my dad sold it to ur dad..
Person B: haiyoo.. u got it all wrong le la.. my grandfather juz bought it back!
this is a spastic reply.

and now.. we have.
Person A: hey u think your grandmother road ahh. like that slowly stroll in the middle of the road..
Person B: no. is my road.

i stumbled across some of the roads while planning for the night cycling trip, and i made a few startling discovery.

gray.gyar.gayr.gary.

all these rich people.... grrrr

there's a time and a place for everyone..
have u found urs today?

grad com

the grad com sux.
its a long story..
when we submitted it, it was 8-7, they said ok.

21 november 7pm: caroline called to say they gt too many people le. we offered to be at most 9-6, 10-5.

22-24 november 10am: those bloody people, insists we be 11-4.. if not pay the surplus. we say cannot. ask me spk to their tcher, i agreed, and she say he went abroad liao. diao....
told her 10-5 last call... and if any other problem, call ly, cos i going thailand liao.
apparently, those bastards din call ly, and automatically assumed we are fine with it.

5th december 11PM: caroline called me and say they counted wrongly, and tot we are 11-3, so that meant we had to be 11-3-1.. i was like... "grrr. welldone ahh. juz go die la!" anyway, what's done is done, we had to look i decided that the best alternative now, 'd be to seat in 10-3-2, given tat we had no choice now. so that's how the events unfold.

[edited: and juz when i tot everything wld be smooth flowing from den on, down came two big problem.
problem 1: they did not change the seats according to the name. some people who were supposed to be seating on another table were not given the right table no.
problem 2: apparantly they couldnt assure us the two seater table, as theywanted to break the cls of 10 into 9-1.. so that poor guy obviously didnt want to move, and hence creating a big hoohaa of people not having enuf seats. in e end, hadta be seated in a 10-3-1 arrangement..]

the sc is really sucky. and to tink i even tot they were a better batch than weldon..
i mean.. just look at their ticket.
no time,
no place,
no date,
no table no.
look at their bloody drawing.. not say v nice or what har.. juz some slipshod work.
look at the quality of the paper.. i spent 80overdollars leh. give me a better ticket lah!
look at the way they tried to make it look slightly complicated by addin in the sticker.. hua she tian zhu.
juz by looking at the ticket tells me alot abt them.

[edited: oya. actually i know this differs from ppl to ppl, but i dun really think the food was worth it. i guess the only dishes i enjoyed were
the berry dish,
the scallop and not the soup,
the chicken skin,
the pathetically small prawn,
and of cos the last of the 5 items on the list - the tea.]

w taht said, there's nothing we can do abt this either..
now the only people i feel guilty abt is those who i persuaded and they had to be seperated.
if only i had not persuaded anyone..
i've tried my best.
sorry.

the three things

i've got 3 things to blog abt.

ONE. dun try the new blogger beta version, if u haven tried it. i carn find why it is any better than the old one, except for the new fonts on the "save as draft" and "publish" buttons... and the super annoying REPEATED [this is the focus] type-ur-password box. (well like some might say, "maybe i dunno hw to use it properly yet", but its really annoying me..)

TWO. i've just read one of my friend blog, and i can like totally understand how he feels. even though the time, event, place of occurance, and victim is like totally different. but it all boils down to the same principle. its not a matter of what time, or where. but more of why wld someone actually tink of doing that in the first case.. even ppl we dun noe dun do it. why wld friends. my friends, even do it!! (when i mean "it", means the more severe-beyond-friend-friend/s-kind of actions.. k mb i'm more of refering to that incident abt 2 wks ago..) [this is the focus]. think b4 u act, for your actions do affect people.

[not for those who prefers to indulgein the "joy of shopping"]
THREE. i was shopping for my prom clothes and i suddenly thought of this. if one day, we cld actually just sit down and admire the crowd of ppl rushing thru, we cld actually notice alot of things. take for instance dressing. every single clothing that ppl wear, are actually one of the best they cld find amongst the places they visited. it is either best in the sense that
-it's the cheapest deal they cld get,
-it's the most in fashion gear they cld find,
-it's the most classy gown they cld wear,
-it's a cls thing..
not counting the no-choice-but-to-wear kind (uniform/work attire)
in all ways, it is certainly the best clothes they cld ever find. [this is the focus]
so by just seating down and STARING at ppl's dressing,
we wld actually be able to view all the best clothes in the world. ok. mb singapore.
just think, wld anybody buy sth that they feel it ain't good?
ppl wld surely pick the best they cld find... even if it means within a particular shop.
shopping for clothes is such a hassle.
maybe one day, we shld just sit down and wait.
and if we found a liking to someone's shirt,
just approach he/she and ask where them bot it from.
now that's so much easier.
[not for those who prefers to indulgein the "joy of shopping"]

just imagine.. this is the amount of choices i cld seek in a split second.

here are some of the more wierd encounters i had in BANGKOK...


the elongated watermelon..


the high tech tut tut with a tv set..

this is one of the best taken boat photos out of the dozens we took.

the feather duster man.

singaporeans ain't tt kiasu afterall. this bus has 24 red backlights.. my goodness!

our very homemade cookies with an innovative name.

there're so many cars in bangkok tt number plates are not a neccessity anymore..

its the yellow day!


the new kind of Singaporean policemen.. stylo sia!

found this shell outside the hse. snake egg?!

this is what happens when the airport is too small.. - ppl hafta resort to walking on tthe rootop.
cool rite!
the last photo

i've tried my best,
i was taught to insist, and persist.
i was told to be complain, negotiate or even threaten..
i know i have to, i know i want to.
but this time rd,
i feel that i'm losing this battle.
and if things dun turn out the way it was planned to be,
i'm sorry.
and i'm not refering to e exams or what.
u'll know what i'm toking abt soon..
soon.


*dun bother guessing.*

gosh. i had the most extensive, most elaborated dream i ever had in my whole life.
its a bit scary, suspenseful, and simply like a movie man.
muz blog about it quick, b4 i start to forget abt it.

There's this grp of people who owns a shophses along a street.
my dad had owed them money, sumhow.
they were angry. they ganged up and discuss.
i was visiting him w my mum, stayed at a hotel.
not the first time le, he told me.
he say dun ask further, will do me harmm, but as i slp, i heard vaguely that they were after his life.
went to temple to pray.
walk walk walk, somehow gt whole in floor.
mum fell in, dad tried to grab her too, but.
he fell straight, while mum grabbed a pole somehow, and walked to safety.
mum went mad.

we prayed at temple,
attempted murder, but we escaped.
drag mum w all my might, and somehow we ended up running in bedok.
challenged my mad mum to a run,
ran.
reached tampines, and i called a friend.
hid in her hse, while she did some research on who these ppl were.
website, book, notebook.

one was a man who wanted to leave hse w his wife, to stay elsewhere, his dad killedhimself, w a pen.
on was a musician.
one was a samurai, whose family committed suicide, after losing a bet.
one was a police.
one was a maid who got betrayed by her own boss.
one was an airstewardess who had an aeroplane, and was an orphan since young.
one was a traitor.
the last page was gone.
i kannt rmb what events they had experiened, but i tink there were a total of 12 of them, each w a horrifying experience, and they were seeking revenge on me now.

so i quickly jotted them down. 1st to 5th person.
saw stunning resemblance with the way they acted out the murder.
just when wanted to continue, door opened.
i quickly closed e door, and locked the gate.
ding dong.
her mum opend the door.
a passerby was asking directions.
shetook a glimpse at me. closed door, i overheard - 11am.

11am
maid enters. byanother door.
stunned. by then i haven noted down until the maid that part.
so ok.
she cleaned up the place, while i continued copying.
til e 8th person.. police enters by spare door.
shows a copy of my pastnotebook thati used in math tuition.
my fren took the rap for me.
i wanted to own up, but i knew i needed to copy down the rest of the people inorder
to know how to react the nxt time.

watch them take her away.
copied till 11th.
*scene switch*
aeroplane-like structure.
many stewardess. drag my fren to some place.
gosh she cld fight, ran.
out of aeroplane, was a camp.
there's a traitor in the camp.
and this time he let her go.
o and i remembered he was wearing orange polo tee.

she ran.
*scene switch*
i realised that the airstewardess was the 10th person on the list,
all her parents left. she was lonely, and wanted to keep someone with her
my fren went home.
i went to visit those row of shops, they were still theree, and the shopkeepers were still inside. lonely. murderously, waiting for their nxt victim..
while, the 12th person still remain at large.

dream end.
like a movie rite??
i oso thought it was too elaborate for a dream to possibly contain too.
but ya. wrote wad i cld rmb.
gosh. mb i shld be a movie director.. =)

You. Listen up.
i dont think what u have done is right.
There's always a limit to what one can take,
and i tink that this time, u've gone beyond.

what is so fun about doing what u have done?
do you really find so much joy in it?
please.
dont do onto others what u dont want others to do onto you.
and this goes to all those who were with u too.
it might seem small and insignificant,
What is your purpose?
nothing but to put our friendship in jeopardy.

If you do not learn to respect others,
i don't see why others should start to respect you either..
DONT DO IT AGAIN.

i've just downloaded the new internet explorer,
and i tink it sucks.
it looks ermm. a little tooo childish la.
or rather wierd.
gosh..



seriously....
lousy.

1st Alvl paper..

in less than 30hrs, all of us are going seat for our first Alvl paper.
though its just gp, and they say that there's nothing u can do abt it at this pt already..
but its still a paper too.
and what's more, its always nice to have a gd beginning..
(and of cos great in-between, while ending it with a big bang laa.)

soooo...
I'll read the questions carefully.
I'll choose my question wisely.
I'll plan my essay properly.
I'll read the compre passage out loud, softly.
I'll not leave lines in my summary.
I'll write neatly.
I'll think quickly.
I'll race against time.
and this time round,
i'll TRY not to choose those natural disaster kind of qns already...



and good luck,
people.

tanglin camp is cool.
vivocity is super big.
