One Quarter

That’s right. 1/4 through the journey in BMTC. Sounds like time passed very quickly. But when I’m in camp on another island, time really really pass very slowly. Adapting to new environments have not been a problem for me so far in life, therefore, I can safely say I’ve gotten used to it. And I’ll be learning new things everyday soon when I step into the BMT phase. Nowadays it’s just physical trainings almost everyday for me.

Lost 3-4 kg ever since I enlisted. This should give you an idea on how tough the training is inside. I made quite alot of new friends inside, be it my bunk mates or platoon mates. It can be fun even if the whole platoon gets punished together. My commanders are also really friendly people who always talk cock with us, but when it comes to business, they can be very serious too. It’s all about regimentation and discipline if you were to describe military lifestyle, from point to point you have to either double up yr pace or you march. I think the only time that we (recruits) love is our admin time at night, which means its our free time usually after dinner if there’s no night trainings. We would talk cock in bunk, play monopoly deal, eat some snacks, use our laptops and talk on phone.

Now I really treasure my weekends alot because that’s the only time I can do my own stuff, rest, spend time with family and friends and totally relax myself as a civilian. 3 more months to P.O.P. Time please pass quickly! Can’t wait for my turn to POP after watching some of my friends’ yesterday. I could really feel the happiness for them.

Back to Tekong, in a few hours time. Catch me again, soon.

Entering a New Phase in Life.

The countdown is almost over. It’s the last day of freedom, and perhaps having my blue IC in my possession until I finish my National Service. I didn’t really think much of army until I had about only 7 days left. I heard so many comments and stories regarding NS…really makes me wonder how I wanna spend this 2 years of my life.

To be honest, initially, I’m pretty depressed that I have to enlist 2 months earlier. I can do so much in this period of time, say going for another overseas trip? But when everything was decided and nothing can change it, I heard people saying the good side of going in earlier. 2 months to train me physically and mentally, so I could be in my best shape for BMT and already know how the system in army works. This point changed my initial point of view. Haha, or you can say it’s self-consolation…

Advice from friends is to ask me to control my temper and just follow instructions. I’ll keep that in mind. “Act blur, live longer.” I’m gonna bring a book in to camp to read. Like WHAT?! I never completed a book other than those Enid Blyton hard cover books. I guess that’s a way to kill time inside. I just watched one episode of Every Singaporean Son. Can totally relate to the video content…feeling all so depressed now.

I guess I made the best out of my last few weeks of freedom by catching up with some friends that I never met for some time. Also, not to forget a travel trip to Bali. One thing I’d definitely miss in this 2 years is travelling, UNLESS we really can execute the plan of going overseas after P.O.P. Haven’t enlist, already looking forward to booking out and POP hahaha. By November, all of us would be in army already! (Excluding Lawrence and Louis) I need more things to look forward to man, I don’t even know who can I call every night.

Last but not least, I hope my bunk mates are fun peeps and my buddy and I can take care of each other!
Go in a young boy, come out a real man. 

Thoughts

Say Hi to my new blog skin! Decided to change for the fun of it.

Alright…been feeling pretty disturbed by some fb statuses/tweets recently. They make me feel like this friend of mine is becoming someone I don’t really understand anymore. And the fact that I will feel disturbed, means this friend definitely is of importance to me. I didn’t really approach or try to talk to him, maybe I will, soon enough.

Don’t do unto others what you don’t want them to do unto you.

 

Another friend of mine was complaining and 哭得要死不活 after her breakup and saying the ex-bf is a jerk and cheated on her blahblahblah. I tried to comfort her a few times when she complained. But now I see her like enjoying herself with another guy, uploading pics of her and the guy on FB and tweeting about him. I’m like whathefuck? You were just crying your heart out few days ago and now you seem like a totally changed person. It’s amazing how much a person can change in such a short period of time.

Anyway, I think I should stop sparing a thought for other people. It just doesn’t pay to be kind. Like when your kindness or kind actions are unappreciated. I always feel guilty easily or feel bad saying “No”. Make my life so miserable to make others happier, for what?

Okay, the above are just some thoughts that I had. I was typing all these in the dark, sitting on the floor. Getting a bit restless already. Goodnight.

“Ketchup”

Just feel like updating about my current life for abit.

Been working for the Robinsons Expo event for 9 days already, and just a few more days to go till the end of this event. Made quite a lot of new friends, most of them are around the same age so we are all awaiting enlistment. Crappy as they are, we manage to click pretty well without any conflicts. Hahaha, I’ll probably miss their jokes, stealing the food items for our own consumption, pushing trolleys and even sorting out lingerie and guessing the sizes LOL!

The only negative memory is losing my beloved iPod Touch. And the more I look at the staff who was tending the counter where I lost it, the more I suspect them… But fuck, I need concrete evidence against them.

Yet another expensive lesson lor. My lessons all very expensive one leh why uh. :/

K la dont know what to write liao kthxbai.

Rotten Luck

Year 2011 isn’t a good year for me so far. Many many unlucky things have happened to me.

Maybe I should list out some of the events I can remember…

1.  I was injured and nearly died while playing ATV in my graduation trip in Phuket.
2.  I got tonsillitis for the very first time in my life. (I consider it unlucky)
3.  I got into heavy debt for the iPhone line i signed last year.
4.  My army issue with the Malaysian side
5.  Hurt my tailbone while playing basketball weeks ago and it still hurts now
6.  I lost my iPod Touch today
7.  Even my watch died on me after I lost my iTouch

When negative events happen, they come one after another. It’s like you fell into the well, and people throw rocks down into it. Particularly after the police left today, I checked my watch only to notice it’s not ticking. It was like adding insult to my injury, spreading salt on my wound. I totally lost the mood to work.

My friends would probably know that I took about a year to finally buy the iTouch, and when I did I was freaking happy, probably the happiest man on earth at that point in time. Who knew I would lose it just after 7 months.

I’m really fuckin pissed with myself. Why can’t I be more conscious of where I place my valuables? Why was I so careless? After losing my wallet with my IC in it twice in 3 years and my handphone once,  I still fail to take good care of my own belongings.

I fucked myself up.

WTF? Why you keep losing stuffffffffffffs? I think you’ve got to lend me everything i safe keep for you. – Calvin

WTF? U powerful man. How do u take care of your things one. – Deon

You want to test headphone don’t know how to test after work or during break ah? Why do it during work? Everytime dont know how to take care of your own belongings. – My brother

These were some comments that hit right into my heart man. But what they said were true, they hit the nail, the bull’s eye.

Friends should probably stay away from me, just in case you guys get the bad luck from me.
Need to head to the temple really soon.

I know shit happens, but why, always me?

Fiery

Didn’t know I was running a high fever till I decided to check my temperature. 38.3 degrees! Wait, it’s considered high right?
No wonder my eyes were feeling hot ever since I woke up at 3pm. Hmm. I still have to report for work at Ritz Carlton tomorrow…Damn. Hope it subsides when I wake up later. Been spamming water that I have to go toilet almost every 45 minutes, and my urine feels super duper hot hahahaha!

My mum scared me saying “Your tonsillitis come back already is it? Never go check ar?” Lol then i straightaway find my torch light shine into my mouth, heng don’t have. I don’t want it to come back either! :/

God bless me recover by tonight please!

Long Time No Write

Been almost a month since I last blogged! Time for recent updates on my life. Not sure exactly who’s still reading or checking out my blog when they are too bored but…just pretend there is alright.

Okay basically, I’ve quit Tangs on the 31st of May. Stepping out from my comfort zone wasn’t that easy a decision to make. Took me quite some time to ponder over it. The only reason for me to continue working there would be if I’m STILL heading to Taiwan which obviously is out of the question now. Why? Read my previous post. I’m in deep RED.

So what am I doing now? I slacked around for almost a week after I quit, okay I didn’t really slack. I began to job hunt and go for interviews alone and some with Kweeming. He’s also partly influential to my decision for quitting Tangs. He told me to step out from my comfort zone, and as I also wish to try out new things/jobs…so yeah. I’ve been doing some temp event jobs recently like the IT show and yesterday, a 1 day event promoting the Nets Flashpay card. It’s a pretty good multi-functional card, can be used as an EZ Link card, cashcard, small daily purchases (like Old Chang Kee, 7-11, Cheers, Polar, and even Cathay!) Brings a lot of convenience as you don’t have to take out the whole wallet and start digging for coins or small notes, just tap the card and go. Awesome.

Pay comes in relatively fast, like right after the event ends. So I can safely say if I have back-to-back events to do, it’s like earning quick bucks. And, it keeps me occupied too. I don’t like to stay at home doing nothing all the time, some occasional stay-home days are good of course. My working schedule is quite irregular now so that puts a test to my time management too. I still would want to keep in touch with all my friends like duh…I love you all hahaha.

And, it’s good to meet new people every now and then at different events! I get to widen my social circle which is beneficial lah. But the downside is, usually end up being acquaintances only cos events are temporary.

Oh ya, if I get the job at Ritz Carlton, it will be my part-time job when I don’t have events. I’ll definitely need an alternative source of income given my financial situation.

That’s about it for my life. I hope I can go overseas to let’s say Bali in August. No time to think about the other things. I wanna enjoy while I still can, and work hard for money. In just a few months to come..we would all ultimately lose ur freedom temporarily for about 2 years.

Damn, so not looking forward to it yet.
Okay done with writing, peace out.
