facing computers and facts

after i finish my course, it seems like i have nothing much to do like that and it took me some time before i finally got some things to do. when i got back, i am still very lost about where they put the stuff and all and i took me like 3 weeks or so to know where are all these stuff at.

even though i am tasked to do important things, i don't understand why i still got time to come around the Internet and surf the net, seriously don't know why. nowadays in camp is really bored for me as i have a television with a spoil antenna port that i totally cannot watch television at all. sigh... in bunk, i only can listen to the radio and play my audio Cd's which i bought from home.

i really hope i can do something useful in camp as life in camp is really bored even though i have tried to entertain myself with lots of stuff. I'm afraid that I'll get sick of doing these things soon.

all weekends for me is either staying at home playing the game "Emperor, rise of the middle nation" or going out with my besttest buddy, shaq, to wherever he goes.

just yesterday, i planned to stay a little more longer in the army as i have decided to go for part time studies in diploma and degree in business management. I've yet to find out more about other schools but roughly the plan is out. now i just have to wait and execute my plan out. hope things won't screw up for me again.

for the last time

it will be less than 4 days before all of us will be disband because our course has come to an end. on 1 end, i can't wait to go back but on the other end, i can't bear to leave this camp. as for those past few nights, i visited the mess that everybody loves to go and had a couple of drinks over there. we had fun drinking, chatting and laughing our way through on the last night before we graduate from there. everyone was so wild crazy and they wanted to ordered 154 cans of duty free tiger beer, which taste so disgusting! and there were only like not even 15 drinkers surrounding the table.

the best trainees were announced 1 day before the last day so on the very night, he is suppose to buy us 154 cans of beer but thank goodness there is only like less than 100 cans as everyone of us can't take the liquor anymore because of it's low class taste. the mess was crowded with us, we all acted like some hungry wolf, like never eat food before, placed a lot of orders from the caterer. the mess caterer is already trying very hard to catch up with the orders because every single receipt is practically filled with words. i have to wait for so long because some jerks just don't know what is the basic manners of queuing is. sigh...

before we depart from ASTW, we had groups photos but i don't know why i never receive any... sian 1/2... the feeling of leaving new friends after a short period of time feels kinda shitty. but good thing is that we did kept in contact through msn or friendster or hp. (i wonder how many of the 154 people will read my blog... hahahah)

as the time approach late evening, the bus to amoy quee has come. we boarded a 20 seater bus that i has requested to come to bring us back to camp. the feeling was happy and sad. happy to go back see new recruit and friends, sad to leave my new friends even we knew each others like less than 6 weeks.

i can't wait for a gathering soon... miss those times big time...

Life at work

after i pass out from ASTW, i was sent back to my parent unit. i miss this home so much... as i walk around the buildings, past memories flash back. still remembering the days of when i was first posted to this place, the new friends that i knew, the kinda "inhuman torture" that i have given to the new soldiers and all... it seems that everything just ended last week and it started all over again on the following week. everything seems to be happening so fast...

when i got back, there were few new faces that i have never seen before... when i got back, it seems like i have forgotten the clerks, the clerks that i have always been chatting with. it took me some time to refresh myself who are they before i started talking and gossiping with them AGAIN. i also notice that i seems to have change into a different person after the course, a more discipline and "on the ball" person. has platoon sergeant course done that to me? i don't feel what i am in the past. i tend to be rebellious and slack before the course. now for what you see in me is a total different me. it is an opposite of what i am in the past. what has happen to me?

something seems to have struck me to work hard. till today i don't know why am i doing so even i have decided to leave the force. but for what i have seen and felt, i felt that its a shame for me to stay in the force because discipline is lagging. even after enforcing, they will be back to square one at the end of the day. its a sad thing that i can say.

i wonder when can i type in something happy... sigh!

2 weeks of non-stop action! wahhh shaq out but felt good!

it has been a very tiring 2 weeks for me as i have been having outfield for 2 weeks non stop without proper rest, sleep and hydration! outfield after outfield, mission after mission. real tiring... but during those time, i have been performing as a man's appointment and have to take instruction from appointment holders. it feels kinda shit but have no choice but to follow through with the exercise and i have been hoping to get engage into appointment in the first week but i was disappointed. i only got the appointment at the worst time. during the digging exercise, i got an appointment of a MG commander and have to dig a real big trench which can fit 3 person inside, causing half my energy dead after the whole thing was completed.

that was only week ONE!

week TWO was not so bad. after 1 last exercise, we march towards the final exercise, the grand finale! everyone cant wait to get through it as we all have been sick for outfield for so long! sick as in we had enough and need some rest before we can continue but we just have to suck it up as we were just trainees.

when the final exercise came, it seems like i have struck 4D! i got the highest appointment! i somehow felt lucky that i got that appointment at that time because i have plenty of time to prepare lost of stuff! during my presentation of orders, i have good comments from the instructors but at the same time, i got tease by them as well for small minor mistakes which i have been commented "improving but still can be improved!" this line has actually push me to perform to my peak! i have never felt so energetic before! i was so eager to go to tekong! i was filled with tons of excitement! but i know that shit will come later but still, i didn't care much! when mission 1 commence, full of excitement, i did my best! when mission one was over, i was so happy that there were no obstacles hindering my way through during the execution phase! yeah!

total of 4 mission, in mission 2, i had heat cramp! all my fingers were cramp hard by the head. i felt like shit! head spinning like merry-go-round! i was down! had a few hours of nap before i could continue. as soon as i join back, a lot of people have shown concern to me. offering me their water to drink! but i wonder if they have any water for themselves.

as the second last mission hits on everyone, everyone cant wait to move on but during that time, i can sense that everyone's morale is getting very low. everyone cant wait to finish it as it seems a long night! as soon as mission 3 is over, everyone's morale is starting to pick up! suddenly everyone's energy came back from nowhere! all full of energy and prepared to fight for the last mission! i was appointed as a platoon medic! had a stretcher on my back. we crossed a river with our stinky body inside the river, picking up all the loose weeds from the river. and we stink more eventually. in my mind, i thought that i will get abrasion on my inner thigh as the clothes rub against my skin. there will be bound to having difficulties in walking but i was wrong. the weather starts to turn bad, it started to rain. some hate it but i like it as it prevents us from drinking water and save our water and at the same time cool us down. normally, after crossing the river, everyone's morale is very very low because we are all wet, from our head to toe, everyone hates it when their underwear is wet but this time, i can feel that everyone don't give a shit as we all just wanna get through it over and can't wait to finish it. my stretcher was happily collecting water for me to add in more loads.

everyone was so glad that the last mission is over! on the way back to the parade square in tekong, everyone seems to be taking their own sweet time as we don't seems to give a shit to any instructions. haha! so in the end we all got a lecture. we quickly change into new sets of uniforms and had our debrief. as we wait for our ferry back to Singapore, everyone waited impatiently. in the ferry, everyone slept well though it is only for like half and hour ride on the ferry. as our feet touches Singapore, the buses was already waiting for us! we took our time to board the bus and headed home to PLC. we all slept for an hour in the bus. it was a comfortable sleep.

as we reach camp. everyone did their part by cleaning up the outfield stuff. and we booked out at 7pm. though its late, everyone still book out, eager to go home. as the saying goes, HOME SWEET HOME!

Embarking into a new journey

as my course continue, the amount of time for me to sleep is getting lesser and lesser. the amount of water that i am suppose to drink also cut down tremendously. I'm lacking water in my body and thus, I'm sick now. just the 3rd day alone, i have gotten throat infection and flu. though its not killing me, it is irritating me a lot.


i wonder how long must i sleep to cover back the hours i missed sleeping. my eyes were like popping out and often getting tired easier now in the morning especially. every now and than will keep yawning and yawning a lot.

hope everything is going the right way now for me and hope no one will hinder me my clearing my debts as of now. yesterday i nearly had a quarrel with one of my friend over MLM stuff. where got such good things as find 2 friends to join under me and earn 9k every month? to me its a con because the top people get everything and they will be asking you to bring in more people and their pocket will grow fatter! i don't know if he is new to MLM or what but i hope he wont get cheated.

my prayers to God;
Dear almighty God, full of grace, i really hope my path will be
cleared
from obstacles as of now so that i can clear my debts in time and in
peace!
and i also hope that the weather will be better these
days, the weather can make one fall sick easily and i am
falling
sick already! please please don't make me fall sick. i know you know
that i have
a tough body but that does not means that i have no weak point. please
spare me and everyone a thought. thank you. with my humble heart i pray to
you,
Amen.
i hope after this prayers, everything will be fine and i will be able to lead my normal life again.
btw, i have friends selling customised polo t shirt designs and men's T-shirt. do quote my name and i hope you will have a cheaper price.
