i did my 2nd ops duty on saturday, 0800 to sunday 0800. well. it was quite fun. seriously coz in normal situations where there arent any emergencies, we kill time by watching tv. and ive nvr watched so much tv in my entire life. well, started with cartoons to DYS1's shock and horror, and then i watched amazing race. was quite okay. and then i watched hmm.. hotel rwanda. remembered that i first watched it with kenny on 24/th january. the day when i met andrew to register for driving lessons. yeap. haha. after hotel rwanda, i watched some programme which i cant rem. but somehow ended watching a kindred spirit. haha. well done ridza. but anyway, watched the taiwan show on channel u at 730. thanks to dys1. then we watched i do i do. then after that, there was the bone collector on tv. quite a scary show. and then abt 1plus, i went to sleep. whereas nicholas, frm armoury and dys1 watched wrestling and perhaps taxi 3.
whatever it is, im quite okay with weekend duties. coz i need to save money.
talking abt saving money. ive nvr felt so broke in my entire life before. bank figures been very low. my entire savings is wiped out coz of driving. yeap. and yeah. the numerous social gatherings that i attend each week is partly responsible too. i spend at least 20-30 dollars for each outing. and yeah i have quite a lot of ppl to meet everyweek.
but surprisingly, on some weeks i have nobody to go out with. which is indeed quite sad. haha. but its okay
hak's hoping to get into safband so he can stayout. haha. he is saying that he doesnt wanna choose command school coz he dont mind OCS but he dont wanna go SISPEC. well everybody thinks the same way huh. anyway, i warned him that he might end up in combat engineers.
ok enough of army stuff.
im quite worried that i will ORD with the feeling that i have not benefitted anything from the past 2 years. thats why i guess i shld keep myself occupied and busy with numerous enrichment activities which can prove to be handy to my future.
talking abt the future. im really hoping to be some kind of an entreprenuer. when i think of entreprenuer, i think of risk takers. to be exact, successful risk taker. if we classify all those who succeed as entreprenuer, what shall we call those who failed to achieve. often enough, we are inundated with success stories so much so that it seems simple for anyone to succeed.
my4 month stint in the goverment is clearly an eye opener. guess i shant comment much on that
anyway im gonna be damn busy
theres HR audit tmr, 29aug. although we are not directly involved, heard that we are gonna screw the inspection. oh well.
30th aug is my branch duty which means that ive got to send out BRO and i cant rem how to.
31st aug. afternoon MA at AH. for my wisdom tooth surgery
1st sept. branch outing!
2nd sept most likely gonna claim my off and gonna meet hak to see his temporary hse etc.
3rd sept free
4th sept free
5th sept ASA course
6th sept surgery
MC for 1 week
come back and get ready for MOB
yeap
:)
well. it seems that everything is falling into place prim and proper. haha
i need to take up some funny course to enrich myself.. seriously

To start off with, i realise that my blog is getting increasingly mundane. My entries revolve around army life. Oh well, can't blame myself anyway. I practically spend 16hrs of my days preparing to go to camp, travelling to camp and being in camp. I did my 1st batallion Ops duty yesterday. Rather interesting. I imagined that i was a stay-in personnel. Haha. But once i closed my eyes, i imagined that i was sleeping on my bed at home.
Looks like everybody's talking abt their uni lives. I mean, the girls. There exists a similarity. Ie. girls usually talk abt their uni lives, where as guys will talk army life. This can be confirmed through my 1st hand experience ; when we catch up with jc/secondary school friends.
It seems that im really going overseas. Chief Clerk keeps on saying, i even overheard her saying that im actually not part of GSMB's strength. Anyway, abt army, tmr is out-processing!~ yeay! finally. im gonna have a tight schedule. Other than branch and battallion duties, ive got to go for my wisdom surgery, branch outing, courses etc.
Oh well. sometimes, i wish that the little things we experienced in life can be changed to our liking. Coz these little things make a difference..

frankly. i nearly suffocated inside the planning room this evening. just as we were abt to prepare to go home as it was approaching 5 oclock. CO commenced his meeting. and i involuntarily became part of it. and the lowest ranking participant that is. so it was the great debate among mighty soldiers with great power. all i can say is that the atmosphere was tense as questions were laid out. and yeah. it was actually a discussion between cpts, ltas, 2lts, warrants, majors. and i was so out of place. finally managed to get the hell out of kranji camp(which is damn nice) when they proceeded to the mess. oh no. will this paragraph deny me my cat clearance? OH NO!
anyway, for today's in processing. everything that could possibly went wrong gone wrong! it was such a headache. 1st the powerpoint for the AIops machine didnt had power. when we fixed it by using an alternative source, we found out that the Inet server was DOWN. enuff said.
orite. dont expect myself to be blogging anytime soon. bye

blog?
yeah
abstract pieces
fixed together
sticky glue? transperant tape?
carrying the pieces
1 pair of delicate hands
memories within
memories turn thin
memories were made
memories then fade
within my memories
thinning memories
i made memories
fading memories.
a play of words
and words of play
would like to relay
a play of words
think hard
think smart
the answer which lies
beneath all the fart
and shit and waste
which u wont wanna taste
memories we create
memories are great
we create memories
great are those memories
memories we hold
memories daring and bold
daring and bold to hold memories
memories that are sad
memories just bad
memories of joy
memories we toy
memory pieces
and
pieces of memory
and
me

didnt realise that i havent been blogging for almost a week. so i have been quite busy this few days.
lets start with thursday. had driving test. due to unfortunate and unforseen circumstances(like the rain and the numerous potholes in the narrow parking space at the parallel parking lot which resulted in me banging down the pole), i FAILED with 24 points. haha. had i not screwed up my parallel parking, i cld have passed with only 6 points. meaning that 18 points were deducted from the stupid parallel parking. oh well. lesson to be learnt.
anyway, quite a number of ppl who took the test that day failed as well. weiteen, huayching(who was 1 slot after me but we used the same car), desmond(who had the same tester as me) and jasmine from tpjc.
in the evening, i met quanbao and adeline, separately to look for hew wing's bday present and have dinner.
on friday, had a good talk with my dxo colleague while doing despatch or dispatch or however it is spelt. coz we had to follow the other ppl around until we went to our destination which was kranji camp. then in the evening, i went to tpjc's band concert. oh well. sat with some bandmates. it was okay lah. maybe shld comment another day. alumni was definitely good. and was rather surprised by the size.
on saturday morning, i went to aranda country club to look after hew wing's chalet at around 11. it was quite fun lah. for the 1st time, i managed to become adeline's passanger as well. and she climbed into her house, over the gate! SO DARING!! haha. coz she forgot to bring the key. yeah. and next to her porch, theres this pond with super BIG kois.
i slept at abt 2am last night. 4 ppl squeezing into 2 single beds. was quite okay. although a lot of pushing were involved. haha.
oh well. blog agains

Hey this is funny..
Plagiarised from jermaine tan li ren's blog:
THE HILDIAN HERALD is out. Yeah so I'm one of those lao da who studied for a decade so if you're thinking I'm such a pathetic wimp then you know who to blame haha. Shit I haven't stepped into St Hilda's for ice ages but I bet even my pri sch teachers will still remember me because I REMEMBER THEM. grrr. Yes so it's their 71st anniversary I think but who cares lah it's been there for eternity. Let me do my own Hildian herald........
- ST HILDA'S PRIMARY SCHOOL
1) outrageously cheap food and outrageously small portions.
2) a very famous HEALTH EDUCATION teacher
3) who taught us eye exercises. say affter me: 1 2 3 4..... 5 6 7 8. great. Look at my eyesight now. None of my SHPS friends have perfect eyesight to date
4) netball competitions and 6/3 always trash us cos their shooters were the tallest people in the level: andrew ong and sarah lim
5) playing soccer with a bloody tennis ball
6) my rascal buddies in class like chye wee and shawn liew who is always playing pranks on madam tay luck kwan
7) oh yes madam tay luck kwan forcing me to join chinese storybook reading competition for 3 YEARS IN A ROW. look at my chinese now.
8) The stupid reading award badge thingy yeah I got gold for reading 100 books in less than a term please lah I was an avid reader
9) Basketball practices and tournaments. Got called up by the principal for refusing to play in the east zone cos I wanted to study. Sounds like EPL huh.
10) Joining the stupid AVA club yeah thanks huh now I'm computer illiterate
-ST HILDA'S SECONDARY SCHOOL
1) How the beehives dominated our school when we had to be evacuated with all the pest-busters around trying to rid the bees desperately. they were attracted to that so called, "garden fountain". oh cummon, a school is a school. why waste funds feeding those dumb KOIS and hiring gardeners?
2) How the main office of St Hildas sec was smashed with rotten eggs and other rotten stuffs.
3) How the school office was BURN DOWN and all the cops came like some Infernal affairs thing. wahaha! i am sure everyone could remember this. have they even caught the arson culprit?! doubt they will ever be able to do so. LOL.
4) VOLLEYBALL 24 HOURS A DAY 7 DAYS A WEEK. AND I'M A NATIONAL CHAMPION. WAHAHAHAHA
5) Overseas tours to Japan, Korea with the team. Yeah it sucks getting trashed by those muscular Jap girls whose spike was 89789742miles/hr, doing 1000 push ups in the hotel lobby, getting whacked by snowballs, learning korean songs but it was a hella experience man
6) Getting appointed as HEAD COUNCILLOR yeah what was Mrs Yeoh thinking cos 4 months later she threatened to sack me. WAHAHHA.
7) 1B and 2B being the most happening class and 3A and 4A being the sadddddddest and most un-happening class :(
8) My 16th birthday chalet just 2 days after o levels and only my beloved pure science class finished earlier then the rest! I watched a pathetic NC16 movie at the stroke of midnight which scared my aorta off. eeeew.
9)and where`s my PROM NIGHT?! NO! they isn`t any either because they wanted to charge us 100 bucks for some laoya pok hotel. might as well have it at S-11 then. AHHHH!SUCKS. I COULD HAVE BEEN PROM KING.
and the story of the year goes to....................................................
10) My chinese teacher. oh I mean 'teacher'. nuff' said!
Jermaine.. its HILDAN. H-I-L-D-A-N according to ms sarah yew. lolso its my turn to come up with my HILDAN HERALD.. How unoriginal..
St Hilda's Primary School
1. Playing at the quadrangle during recess, screaming and shouting like mad. Disturbing ongoing lessons where classes recite timetables. and getting chased away by Mrs Jane Tann.
2. House Practice for Sports Day. Often made it into the next round for events like high jump, long jump and 100m. But due to my lack of talent, i nvr ever qualified further than that. HAHAHA. High jump was done at the quadrangle. Had to come early and assemble the thing. lol.
3. 10 cent biscuits and 10 cent sweet from the snackshop auntie at the TUCKSHOP(according to old-school teachers like mdm wong kok kai who was prolly 55 when she taught me many many years ago, like 13 years ago. and still walking around with the same "uniform" and hairstyle. and she stills remember me coz i always bump into her on the streets!)
4. Eye exercises once or was it twice a week. And yeah. mdm wong will go 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. sometimes she will make some mistakes in the counting. and i guess she got pretty fed up and then she decided to record the timing. LOL.
5. 5/4 and 6/4 was the most happening class in my entire span of education in schools. lol. the partays. and lots of m and ms and the CD player. with backstreetboy music. WOAHAHA. mad classmates making teachers go mad.
6. Malay teachers like cikgu alijah and cikgu khetimah plus chinese lang teachers like mdm chiang teaching ART and CRAFT. haha. plus designing art folders. LOL
7.and LOW WEI LING. Stella Lee used to insult her like crazy even though low wei ling's mother is a teacher in shps. i remember the infuriated mrs lee shouting "YOU ARE AN AH SOH! AH SOH! ASSHOLE!" oppps. i ought to censor. but it happened soo long ago. who cares. haha
8. science experiment presentation. and those powerpoint slides. lol. we were one of the few teams who were so high tech, we used microsoft slides. but we still lost. wataheck.
9.ms foo pee pee and the public caning.. SASHIKUMAR!! lol.
