Part 1 – My life so far

This is a unknown number of parts of interesting fact and little trivial things about me. Why am I doing this? I don’t know, might be because I am too bored here in SCS or I am just going crazy.

So, here goes. Part 1, my life so far.

Bornt as the youngest child in my family, I have a lot of care and showering of love from my siblings and parents. I am quite happy with my family until the passing of my father which kinda turned the whole thing around. I won’t say its to the extreme of “Jia po ren wa” but its not something as a 14 year old would go through normally.

Eventually down the road, things work out by itself, things settle down and I moved on in life. Life is a funny things, you don’t know what will happen tomorrow. 6 years of Primary school education, 6 years of Secondary school education (5 years ”N” level and 1 year retain) and finally 3 years of Polytechnic education. The education implanted into us singaporean is kinda, well, stiff? I don’t know, I always had some issue with authority but yet, rarely do I go against it because of my upbringing. Singaporean rarely think out of the box and I would admit, most of the time, me too. From young we’ve been taught to “Shhhh put finger on your mouth” in primary school. During adolescent, we were told not to misbehave, not to do this, not to do that. Rarely were we told things like “Hey, You should do this, you should do that”. Encouragement like that rarely come by. So we are quite bounded by rules and command, making us singaporean so “guai”.

I am quite happy with my life so far but maybe during times when I think back at certain moment in life, it still does feel saddening or nostalgia. Who don’t have sweet or bitter memories eh?

Currently serving my dear country to protect and defend my dear friends and my love ones. It is tough, I won’t lie but if we don’t step up to it, our country won’t even stand a chance against any threat. What to do? Somebody have to do the job I guess… 1 years and 8 month more till I ord.

What the future holds for me? I can’t predict the future but I am very sure, lots of adventure is waiting for me and lots of places waiting for me to explore!

Money

Well, today topic is a bit touchy. It is known as the root to all evil but without it, the world won’t exist. Well, money is usually made the limelight of things which involves it. When you are the richest man in the world, they will judge u by the amount of money you have, the poorest man would be judge the same way as well. Does it mean that if you have a lot of money, you would be happy?

Well, today a friend of mine shared with me something which I always think is true but because of human greediness and their screwed up mindset these days, it had changed. Even for me, I must confess that some time I would lose track of the most fundamental happiness. Health over money. You doesn’t necessary have to be rich to be happy. I must say, I am pretty contented with my life now. I have a lovely girlfriend, tons of very supportive friend and army life isn’t that bad, at least its manageable currently.

Fundamental stuff which we always forget or overlook usually is the simplest or smallest thing just in front of us.

So far…

Day 3 in SCS, things are quite good. As compared to BMT, more freedom, more trust is given upon us. Canteen break and stuff is also entrusted to us.

The food in SCS really is good man, the drinks are always cold and the food is always tasty. As compared to bmt, really nothing to say. The auntie here keep saying “Don’t need to thank us, should be we thank you”. In BMT, the china dude will give u a black black face, when you ask for more, they like deaf like that den u just move on feeling so stupid asking for more.

Irving is in Juilet, its a xiong company! HAHA… Good luck to him! Prepare to see a fitter irving! :)

1st Day at SCS

Today is my first day reporting to my new camp. Pasir Laba Specialist Cadet School.

Cabbed down with irving, cab fare was close to $40 >_< IMBAL EXP… RAH!!!

I am posted to Charlie company, Irving is Juilet company, Ye Sheng is Alpha company. Heard from my specialist friend and sergeant that ABC company quite xiong.. SIAN MUCH.. To think that I endured 4 months of xiongness in Juguar.. Oh well..

Today was quite relax, all the introduction to the camp and an orientation run. Collected our laptop and briefed upon what can be done and what can’t be done. People here are generally nicer as compared to when u are a chao recruit!

8 Weeks of basic section leader course. 13.5 weeks of advance section leader course and finally 1.5 weeks of joint term before i get the 3 chervon rank, CAN’T WAIT!!! :D

ADDON – The food as compared to tekong isn’t that bad. Actually I prefer the taste here, not sure if got ice cream and jelly here a not :P

ADDON #2 – China Woman, Have fun in japan!

The next chapter of my ARMY life begins on monday. I am posted to SCS a.k.a Sispec a.k.a Sergeant course. The camp is at pasir laba, far much :(

The training would be for 6 months before I am officially a sergeant, Good? Bad? I dunno.. The training is suppose to be xiong.. IT ALWAYS IS XIONG.. RAHhhhh :(

Getaway

YAY !!! I CAN’T WAIT FOR 2ND OCT AND 4TH OCT TO COME !!! =D

Passing Out Parade

This saturday (2nd Oct 2010) will be my passing out parade from TEKONG BASIC MILITARY COURSE. Sad to say because of that, most likely I won’t be attending TBC 2010. Hope you guys will do well and everything go smoothly :)

During the 7 days block leave, 3 days @ Tioman, Malaysia, 2 days @ chalet which Irving open. 2 days to rest… JESUS… Not enough time ahhhhhhh :(

Hopefully my posting isn’t something very shiok.. xD xD xD

Makan~

Well.. My BMT journey is coming to an end already. All my high key event such as Field camp, Hand grenade, Live range shooting, Ippt, SOC is all finished. The last 2 week of my BMT is just practice for my graduation day at Marina Bay Floating Platform! :D

It might sound easy but its very very hard, with lots of thing to remb. , lyrics, songs, marches, timing and what’s not… RAH….

So, the final 2 week, my company 2nd IC, which is my platoon commander, allowed us to bring food in! YAYNESS to that, i actually bought about $70 worth of food but going to split into 2 and bring in separate time. Most likely I will grow fatter because of this.. Ouch… So much for training hard for 3 months.

Talking about training hard.. I failed my IPPT because of Standing Board Jump… The feeling sucks, honestly. In a way, I know it is my fault but because of my height, I am already at disadvantage. Tuesday got a retake for my SBJ, hopefully, which i really pray very very hard that I would pass it. Sigh… If I don’t, I would be a man.. Kinda a waste of my 2 years I guess…

Yesterday, went to XLB buffet with dor, ben and chris. Its really filling and nice :) The XLB standard kinda dropped because its not exactly hot but more like warm but I guess for the amount of XLB we ate, its acceptable bah.. Haha.. Jing Yi, when u coming back, we go ok? :)

Ka boom Ka boom Ka boom! I am watching band of brothers while typing this post, somehow looking at the show kinda make me relate myself to it. Most of the term which they use such as platoon, lieutenant, take point, short form and what so ever military based things make me realize that NS is really very useful in time of war to come and prepare us as a soldier to really fight the war. Hopefully in my lifetime, I won’t be using all this skill because that would mean war had come and people would suffer.

Well, time to go prepare to go out. Update soon if possible! CYA!~

Does these help?

POP looooo

No, not yet but soon! 3 MORE WEEKS exactly!

This week had been quite a short but very xiong week. We had been doing PT for the whole week. The typical day schedule would be like Running in the morning, Dumbbell exercise in the afternoon and maybe Gym in the evening. Yes, it was that strenuous. Partly because this week is our last IPPT.

Because of Hari Raya, this week was a 3 days off week. Quite shiok but… time files again! SO FAST LARR.. RAH… :( Going to book in later le.. Sigh…

POP POP POP POP POP.. Can’t wait!~
