Finally my time has come. The taste of having freedom again just feel so damn good. No more waking up before the sun rise, no more runs, no more SOC, no more SAR21, no more outfield, no more camo cream, no more walking, no more missions, no more digging of trenches, no more officers who are a pain in the ass(there are some good ones though) and no more stay-in!!!!

But honestly, as i lock my office door for the last time, i just cant help but feel something for my battalion. There are alot of hard times, in fact, there is only hard times! haha. but it is through the hard times that sometimes reveal who we really are. and till date, i am quite please with what i've done. i am not perfect, i could have done alot more but i still think i did pretty well. My boss even said he havent seen such a responsible IC in a very long time. and though i am the newest guy in my plt(i only enter my battalion for less than a year as compared to 1.5 for the rest), my boss all trust me more than anyone else. esp when i was 'forced' to be 2IC for my platoon.

I cant say that i enjoy time in 3SIR. in fact, i hate it. all the nonsense that they do, all the extra stuff we have to do, and all the weekends i have to be in camp just to serve the duties. most of the time it drives me nuts. but at the end of the day, i survived being in an active unit. all the missions, the operations, the training, the UO demo and the most xiong event; ATEC!

Thinking back, my NS life have been quite good. i love my BMT( Scorpion rocks!!), SISPEC was damn fun, 3SIR was tough but fulfilling. the best part of NS is probably the friends that i've made through all the courses i went to. esp SISPEC. really glad my section still remain as friends and when we're free, we call and email each other to keep in touch. this is probably the best part of NS

Now that i going to ORD, its not really the end but the beginning of serving NS. the future to me is still a big question mark to me. what will i be doing, will i go outfield again, or will i just stay in office and slack is still very unknown. but whatever it is, i think it wont be that bad. really like to thank the people who been through NS with me. every single friend i made in NS, and my friends outside NS who are always cheering me on (you know who you are). every encouragement made me go a longer mile then i would have. so thanks ;p

P.S. ENJOY YOUR 2YEARS RECRUITS!!!!

How to survive!!!

Went to watch The Lake House over this weekend. Honestly, don't really like the movie. Its long, draggy and ultimately DUHZ!!!! And can you believe i actually watch the movie twice this weekend!!! but the second time was a treat from that fat creature (or rather 2 fat creatures) so take it that i went for free air con and a very comfortable chair. i'm not gonna write spoilers but i do have some questions for people who already watched it.


1. i understand how the past can change the future, but how can future change the past. If i put a note a box, how can i travel 2 years back in time. it can stay for two years but its not a two way thing. if i open a mailbox in 2006, i don't really think it'll open in 2004 like shown in the movie. its not logical


2. How can a tree suddenly appear out of nowhere. if it was planted in 2004, it'd already be there in 2006, and not magically apear while Sandra Bullock was running home. If you say its cause he planted it at exectly the same time but just 2 years ago, why is it that she remember dancing and kissing the 'random' guy even though Keanu havent had that dance with her(in Keanu point of view). Why that inconsistancy?


3. How can she magically change the future just like that. in the last part, she knowing he is dead, wrote a note for him to wait another two years cause she know he is gonna die that day. He read it and avoided the accident and then magically shows up next to Sandra Bullock. So does that mean everyone's memory of keanu dying in 2006 was magically erased or did she magically went into another timezone.




Alternatively, you can ignore all these discrapencies and enjoy the show and not ask so many questions. I'm obviously not that romantic type and dun really like that kind of fantasy.




P.S: If someone write to me from the future, the 1st thing i'll ask is what 4D will be out or which shares will rise or who'll win the world cup and not ask her to take a stupid walk with me. And if i see a mailbox opening like that, i'd head for the hills! Its the seventh month for crying out loud!!!!!

X-NS MEN





<sub>Freaking funy, go check it out! This may be a pun on the SAF, but to some extent, its freaking true! haha. bth, love this clip






Keng right~~~</sub>

Busy month, thats all i can say. its events after events, one after another. First ATEC, then SAF Day, then now going outfield every single day for a Urban Ops demo for the ministers(which is suppose to show the whole of Singapore how much the SAF have grown in term of manipulating the best of technology into mordern day wars, then after that, its the Internal Quality Check by HQ Medical Corps (which is on 24th Aug, 1 day after my bday! damn!!) then after that its time for the new 3SIR mono to come in and its another mad rush all over again. On top of that, there is still stupid weekend duties every single weekend which is driving me insane! life sucks like this man. im under paid and overworked!! cant wait to ord. Like seriously, this may be the only two years in my life where i have mininal stress, but its maximum work. But hey, just a few more months and im out of this. Till then, all i can say is LIFE SUCKS!!!

Thanks to the prankers (funny ah) writing nonsense on my tag board, i need to clear this straight

Trust me, I love myself & bur

so go figure out yourself

Was in camp doing duty on friday night when a sudden call came in; from my best buddy John Joash Goh Yewluck. had a nice chat with him (who am i kidding! everytime i talk to him i'l be mailto:%^#@#$%#@ all the way). He told me about his blog and i went to check it out. while reading, cant help but be reminded about the times i had with my 'best buddy'.


Met him at the most unexpected event; HM4 (church camp), where i was this loner and he was the only person willing to talk to me. haha. make me sound so loser. after the camp, kinda surprised that we still keep in contact but that lead to an extraordinary friendship. we would meet before service, hang around after service. then slowly, met up to 'study' during the weekdays, met up when any one of us had problems and needed someone to talk to. then went over to each other's house to tock cork whole night. we were almost inseparable. still remember we met each other every single day during the march holiday eith elsa and his best friend lavinia. on the last sunday we were so broke from spending money that we had to share our dinner. THAT PHATETIC!!! know it sounds dame gay here but hey, kinda glad to such a friend. same frequency and always driving each other crazy (more like he drive me crazy most of the time). love ya buddy. YUCKS!!!




thoughout my life, i had lots of buddies, friends, brothers. but its never easy to find one like Joash. even though we havent met in like decades, me pang sei him like a thousand times, and us not talking for so long, i guess deep down, we'll always acknowledge each other as best buddies!! always thought when girls go around screaming 'BEST friend!! Best friend' is dame cliche, but i guess maybe, we should give these 'best friends' a chance

Booking in in an hours time. haiz, change the whole meaning of labour day man. sad case!!! mission on labour day just isnt a very encouraging idea. but what to do, im in the army, where everything is screwed up!


ok, have to go le! pray hard for me that no wild boars would attk me, that the weather would nt kill me, and that i would nt kill myself in the middle of the mission! take care guys!!! enjoy the music

Wanted to go for my run last morning and Bur just gave me that 'bring me along' look. after some contemplation i just brought him along. well, he is a dog and can run right? WRONG!!!


took a jog to Bedok reserviour which is about 2.5k away from my house while Bur is running beside me. but by the time we reached the reserviour for our actual 5k run, he is exhausted le!! can already hear him panting. but no turning back le so i kinda forced him to run. such a rare sight to keep 'encouraging' a dog to jia you!! and so pai sey la!! pengz. and he just keep lagging behind. really bth him lorz. and i keep have to pull him along. then half way through, he gave up and just lie on the middle of the track and refuse to move!!!!! pengz!!! i have to carry him to the side to rest la!! after afew mins of resting, i pull him along. but that stupid dog ignored me!!! ultimate laziness!! still i pulled him on and he 'lan lan' must walk. and everytime he see a bench nearby, he would move towards it and rest under the shade of the bench!!! pengz!! there i was wearing saf 3sir singlet and a dog who is dying of heart attack. in the end, i just carried him all the way home.

Moral of the story; never bring a dog(esp mine) to a long distance jog
