Home Sweet Home !

12 days on Tekong ... 7 on the fields and 5 at coyline ...
An experience you won't forget ... An experience like no other ...

I used to believe with my experience and exposure I would had survived army life in a breeze ...
But I came to realise ... the experience is different everytime for so many factors ... Injuries being my greatest enemy this time ard ...

7 days in the feilds have proven and reminded me that I'm not of 100% physical condition nor of psychological readiness to face the elements of nature and a general lack of equipment usage due to tactical reasons.

Well it was fun ... tiring ... new experience ... Tormentous is not seriously the word to use ... Tough times don't last ... Tough men do ... How true ... How true ... So now we all await tougher times to come and go my dear brothers apache HA ...

I find my thoughts always all over the place ... I apologise

Missing Mich pretty bad ...
Sweetie ... Reserve whole of nxt weekend for me!

Dying ... Knee hurts ... Back hurts ... Heart ache ... Stomach ache ... Muscle sore ... Throat sore

Senseless Rambling ?

Been a Long weekend ? Ha ... Wondering what Long really means nowadays ... when it comes to bookout time ... limited is the only word that comes to mind ...

Well ... Not much done over the weekend ? I don't know ... To me ... time with mich is nv enough ... yet they say go for quality not quantity ... I guess I'm plain greedy ... sweetie =x I wish I could only spend more time with you -hugs-

Anywayz ... Just My Luck was a pretty good show ... HaHa

Rite ... had a little chat over "dinner" with XJ ... Funny how much there is to talk abt ... per usual these topics go round abt and comes dead centre on "Life" ... sheez ... am i boring or what ... But somehow I like that topic helps one reflects on stuff ...

Being "Handicapped" for over a mth and counting I would say I'd been given a brief insight on how life is like for the injured and the handicapped ... and how ugly the society is in singapore -_-"

Hmm ... lost again ... where am i ?

Missing Michelle ...

4 days to field camp ...

12 days to Book Out ...

-hugs-kisses-

Cya WIBO sweetie ~

Relationships ...

Okie ... not complaining abt the pain and trauma and all the other emotional as well as physical discomforts relating to my injury anymore ? Not exactly ... Just thought I'd give it a break for now ... (Since its broken ... I can only do that much)

Rite ... Anywayz ... I'd like to acknowledge and show appreciation to my love for being there even when times are hard ... Surfing through websites and talking to friends ... very so often you bump into a friend whos stuck in a rut in their relationships be it with friends or loved ones ...

Looking into the situation ... I'm no expert ... I simply avoid conflicts ... taking the extra step back so that everything can remain calm ... whether thats a good thing is very subjective ... somebody thinks that makes me boring ... others think its at the expense of my pride and people's respect for me ... but I think it preserves the neccessary peace ... expenses and sacrifices are to me but the price peace ... Yet I will agree that torlerance has to have its limits ...

Well ... I don't understand how issit many people fail to appreciate their gf/bf when the ones doing the compromise is apparently not them? So much more I would like to say but I will not ...

Like I say I'm no expert, I'm learning as well ... everybody needs to be related to in a different way ... and learning to relate to each is a process that will take time and effort

I don't stuff for nothing ... So people try to understand ... compromise when neccessary and appreciate what you have ... before you lose it ...

Recovery ...

Okiez ... heres a first but I would like to publically thank the lord and savior for his tireless aid for even his most unworthy subjects (i.e. Me)
I'm set on the road to recovery ... fast BUT I need faster =x I know i ask for too much sometimes BUT I really need faster !!!
Well ... Hid and XJ dropped me a visit with dinner last nite ... guess that helps abit =) Had a nice long talk with him ... Its been awhile haha
Expecting my love to drop by soon ... hope everything turns out well =)
Oh well back to camp tonite ... 18 15 hrs Life sux ... I won't mind 1/2 as much If I CAN ACTUALLY TRAIN =OH well ... Pray hard ... Wed is review by the specialist and I'll find out exactly whats wrong with me ...

Dark Is the World of the Soldier Injured =(

Official Bookout day was yesterday ... Everybody was happy ... I was happy (for awhile) ... Everybody's GF ... Family was at whitesands waiting to receive their tired NS boy ... Daddy came but I was much more than simply tired from training ... retired more likely =<

Haiz ... Sunday ... I should be out with mich ... enjoying the limited timeframe of my bookout ... but all I've been doing (able to do) is to sit on my bum praying and having a roller coaster ride on the emotion highway ... Miss Mich ... Trying to be optimistic ... Feeling down right low with the injury ... Trying to be optimistic ... Pulled back down by the idea of a recourse ... Trying to be optimistic ... Missing Mich ... and the whole shit goes on =<

U know drugs would be an absolutely good idea if i were actually dumb (or depressed enough) ... WHAT AM I TALKING ABT ARGHZ .... -_-

Nv felt so low since ... I don't know ...

I never liked the idea of serving the army ... But since I'm compelled I have every intent to do my best ... to excel ... outdo ... outlast ... outstand ...

God Help Me !!! =<

army songs

Just something I picked up from the army ~ Guess it reflects the feeling of every soldier and their family even though most of the time the lyrics makes little logical sense ... the gist of it is usually there ~ ha

In the early morning Jog ~
With my towel on my back ~
And an aching in my heart ~
Coz I miss my Mother so ~

I know I know ~ You got to go ~
So hurry hurry back home ~
Coz I miss you so ~

In the early morning march ~
With my feild pack on my back ~
And an aching in my heart ~
Cos I miss my Lover so ~

I know I know ~ You got to go ~
So hurry hurry back home ~
Coz I miss you so ~


Training to be a soldier to fight for land ~
Once in your life ~ 2 years of your time ~
Have you ever wondered ~ Why must we serve ?
Becoz we love our country and we want it to be free to be free ya !
Children having ah ~ We're carrying guns ah ~

Oh well ... thats abt it for now ... shit I'm feeling really sianz ...

Day 3 of Attend C

I'm due back in camp today ... Conditions seems to have stablized and slowly recovering ... I can walk (or rather limp) without absolutely excurciating pain ... But swelling is still there and movement is limted without my clutches (not that it isn't with them -_-") Haiz ... feeling like a bloody handicap ...

Oh well on the lighter note ... lix, jeremy, kitty & Bf dropped me a surprise visit yesterday =) Really touched they guys actually spent their precious book out hours to visit me when they could had spent it on so many other things ... thanks people =) Appreciate it

And Michelle dearest sent me a picture of golden nuaing =) My My hasn't she grown bigger ...

Home ... Earlier than expected ...

Well ... I'm Home early from confinement ... Not exactly my idea of happy though ... Fell from platform training ... how dumb =x

Miss Singapore ... Miss Home ... Miss Michelle ... But this isn't exactly the answer to it ... infact this is nothing close to it ...

Haiz ... I hope I'll be fine ... don't wanna get downgraded ... I still wanna lose weight and go to command school ...

Thats Me @ CGH =<

That Classical Carot Ring Joke from Alex =)

Alex was on a holiday trip to thailand with some friends.
They went to visit many places including the night markets and other famous attractions.
He calls his wife as he departs from the Thai Airport for home and says:
"Honey ? How have you been ? I'll be home tml and oh I bought a 3 carrot ring"

Mrs. Alex was all excited and went to meet him at the airport with a big tub of Alex's fav KFC.

They met at the airport, she carried his luggage while he enjoyed his meal.

Excited and anticipating Mrs. Alex tried to remain patient. But to not avail. She finally burst out "wheres the ring!?! wheres the ring!?!"


Alex smiles and pull out the ring : "Here"






"Isn't that cute ? Look 3 CARROTS Haha !"


"Honey ?"


and that was also the last time they spoke for the nxt 2 weeks. =P

JoKes Galore ~

Actually there are plenty of jokes in my email now =)
But shall post this one first
Enjoy ~


3 condoms


A young man goes into a pharmacy and asks the pharmacist
"Hello, could you give me a condom. My girlfriend has invited me for dinner and I think she is expecting something from me!"
The pharmacist smiles and gives him the condom; and as the young man is going out, he returns and tells him:
"Give me another condom because my girlfriend's sister is very cute too. She always crosses her legs in a provocative manner when she sees me and I think she expects something from me too."
The pharmacist gives him a second condom; but as the boy is leaving he turns back yet again and said: "girlfriend's mom is still pretty cute as well and when she sees me she always makes allusions...and since she invited me for dinner, I think she is expecting something from me!!"

During dinner, the young man is sitting with his girlfriend on his left, the sister on his right and the mom facing him. When the dad gets there,the boy lowers his head and starts praying:
"Dear Lord,bless this dinner...thank you for all you give us...!!!"
A minute later the boy is still praying: "Thank you Lord for your kindness..."
Ten minutes past and the boy is still praying, keeping his head down. The others look at each other surprised and his girlfriend even more than the others. She gets close to the boy and tells him in his ear: "I didn't know you were so religious!!!"
The boy replies:
"I didn't know your dad was the pharmacist !!!"

Lesson ? Go make sure your girlfriend's dad isn't a pharmacist. If he is check the outlet he works at =P

Memories & Legacies

Was juz mentioning that camp this year proved to be nothing Big for me this year. But as I was google-ling the phrase "LSCT FOC" that i realise the same excitment that overwhelmed me back when I was a freshie.
I guess from the pioneering batches of LSCT FOC and its now well established 8th Generation. The LSCT Society and its renowed GLs have made their impact on LSCT students ever-since founding. Without fail if you google the very terms "LSCT" or "FOC", blogs, personal websites and even public forums and school directories will contain documentations and testimonials to Ngee Ann's Freshmen Orientation Camp by the School of Life Sciences and Chemical Technology (Be it positive, neutral or otherwise)
For a single faculty with an orientation camp. I guess we had made quite the impressive hallmark to the faculty. As blogged "when u think of life sciences in NP, u think of LSCT GLs".
Past Present Future ... I guess having said all I had ... It all sounds like juz another advert or ego statement in favor of the organization I once served with pride or otherwise -winkz-
BUT ...
I must say that my years in NP ... my years with the LSCT society has amounted to more than juz getting oriented, getting comfortable and getting new friends.
NO ... its much more ...
As the society grows in membership over the years, so does my circle of friends and experience. Yet its not with age that you gain this benefit ... U inherit the entire culture, the entire network, the entire history =)

Passing phase in life ? Maybe ... But FOC is like an additive drug ... it leaves u craving for more ... Freshie --> GL --> SGL --> AGL

*no pix with me now but heres the family tree*

Me (FLASH)

My Freshies (Griffins)

Their Freshies (Beast,Sandman,etc...)

Their Freshies' Freshies (I've lost track...)

... and the list will go on

Enough talk abt a future that no one can be sure of. Lets update on what actually has happened recently. Hmnm ... technically just too lazy to blog. Not that many things have happened since the last update though HaHa

LSCT Freshmen Orientation Camp 06/07
Perhaps one the the slackest camps I've attended thus. Not much was done on my part except at Nite Games, generally I spent most of my time slacking with brian ard the campus enjoying the last bits of Ngee Ann while we're waiting for army intake.

Work
Well we all know this is never the fun thing. Spend most of my time working on admin stuff no body can find time to do or plainly too lazy to clear.

Stuffs
Well managed to meet up with a couple of Old Friends. Started with Mr. Lau Seo Heng. Nice long chat over a cup of tea which last us from 9 30pm thru 1 am at karim. This guy and I never really were more than just accquaintances but we found our topics somehow.
Then over the last weekend managed to meet up with Joyce for a nice chat and Fucai to follow after at the pool tables.
Oh Yes ~ Sis got married last weekends =) Saw daddy burst out into tears for the first time ... HaHa quite touching ... Realised she has a wonderful smile and yea she look gorgeous ... Have a wonderful honey moon Sis =)

Clip - Born To Live
A dumb film abt an ugly french kitten bent on killing itself. Well I guess sometimes when U really wanna die ... Heaven forsakes, Earth well ... just watch =)

Some Really Obssesed Tetris Fan

Poor Dear ...

Sitting in office again blogging, this means no calls are coming in -_-" or calls are simply juz trickling in. Have a meeting in abt 30 mins from now ...
My dear Michelle juz lost her thumbdrive... Don't be too sad ok love ? Alot of people lose their thumbdrives ... thats the problem with technology, they keep getting smaller and tempts you to keep more stuff in them but the thing is small is portable but also forgettable. Ha ~
Chill rite dear ? If you need another one I can have mine for the time being =)
As Murphy's law goes ... when something shit happens ... they pile up ...
And for my beloved ... well toothache had to follow =( Be brave! Hang in there ~ It'll all be over soon -hugs-

NS coming into a life near you ~

NS days are fast becoming a reality for me with each word i type and with each passing sec. I can feel the stress and time continues ticking pass. My life is a ticking time bomb. Very soon June 2 is gonna be here and Life as I know it is all gonna change.
Gonna terminate my services with my temp job by end of April and start working out intensively this time seriously. 2 mths is all I have and I'm gonna make this 2 mths good. =( For some reason after all that mental prep I find myself at rock bottom on the emotional scale eversince that letter arrived. Haiz ~
Sitting in office now ... Waiting for calls (which are trickling in) ... Wondering what i should plan for the nite. Today is the 3rd of April, marking day 1 of my 2 remaining mths. Hmm ... Maybe i should catch a movie.
Oh and someone juz commented on my work attitude ... Great ... I know I don't exactly have the best of attitude when it boils down to punctuality I'm not the best of candidates but I commit to my duties and I ensure their completions on time !!! okie done ~ juz wanted to let out ...
.... Bored ...
