The Retrocession

I have cui English, and I often break English words into components like the way Chinese words break up into characters. :D Hasn't been able to catch up with blogging lately. Too busy in the barracks I guess. In case you guys don't know yet I've FORMALLY extended my service for my nation (at the request of my boss, of course) so very soon I'll be a T H I R D Y E A R S O L D I E R hohohoho. The pay is still the meagre sum, I'm doing this solely for my boss because he has been nice to me so far. Of course I could have F-ed off and just leave the force, but not a very nice thing to do lah huh. I've always tried to be nice even though I behave otherwise. Hahaha. So yesterday actually I went to watch 那些年 again with Weesiang. Poor fella no one to watch with ah? Okay lah this movie is better watched with people with the same gender. And same maturity as well. 有些许 黄色 镜头哦，呵呵呵。 Watching a movie twice is no big deal, I've watched 海角七号 seven times and I...

Went for Tekong Challenge yesterday with the team. Didn't manage to win, but well we can take it as endurance training for the 21km run next month. Dead tiring. It's an exposure though, being able to observe the natural beauty of Pulau Tekong without all the soldiering and stuff. Little crabs, sea anemones, and other creatures. It's good that we have an island solely meant for military purposes. At least everything there can be conserved because no one else can go there and mess up the place. Singaporeans are always like that, when they "discover" something cool (like Chek Jawa or the recent train tracks) they will all flock there within the next one month. Crazy enough? To me it's like "Walau this thing has been here for ages haven't you guys seen it at all before?!" It's just shows how busy and bo-chap we are everyday. Anyway talking about being busy. I'm real busy. After a hiatus of 3 months finally a boss has came and...

Okat. Think the whole world (planet botak) is frantically checking their posting results….. And while some say YAY to their OCS, many more are yelling WTFs because they become men. Men, like mechanics, drive tanks, medics, etc. Come on lah be proud of your vocations can. There must be a reason why you kena that vocation what. I always told myself that I wanted to be in Guards, because I don’t want to waste my time loafing around doing “slack jobs”. Yeah now I am going SISPEC, with Paul and many others. Keep your expectations low dudes, you will see things in different light. =) I didn’t want to go OCS. OCS is tough (so is SISPEC), and I think 9 months is a bit too long. Haha. Lousy excuse lah huh. And anyway I won’t be eligible for OCS also. Because my English CMI. Hahahaha I don’t think the sergeants often hear me speaking English to them sia…. And how on Earth do you find a 2nd Lieutenant that goes WALAU NABEH LIN LAOHIA? Hehe so I am fated for SISPEC lah, can mingl...

Camera went out of battery. Sorry no POP pictures to upload. This marks my fianl day in Leopard Coy. Okay actually not, next weekend I got Guard Duty again, I miss my bunk, haha. But yeah Leopard Company is slack. But so what? We learn the same things, and get the same pay per month. So I don't see the point of being tortured like shit and yet only get $400 a month. And we still have high IPPT and SOC passing rates. Respect is to be earned mutually, not enticed by fear. [and hopefully, Puo Nen you better don't end up same unit, same bunk, same bed as me again 10 days later hor. If not, your life must be really suey to be stuck with me for almost 5 years. HAHAHA] [后话: He didn't. He went back to M'sia.]

Okay, found this on a dumb NJ girl’s Tumblr. This girl is dumb because she laughed at my hair in school for a minute….. GRRRR. It’s so tough trying to find a spot in University. And I am booking in tomorrow already, where to find time!!! I wish I had started preparing all these last month or something, now everything very rushy and I have no confidence at all of getiing a scholarship sia. Having 3Cs on your result slip isn’t a good thing I guess. Now I am thinking of entering the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences in NUS already. Like taking Sociology, Political Science or Communications. Don’t think UK works for me already. Even if I can get in with my results I have no money to do so. Shall be having Field Camp on Monday. Heard terrorising stuff about Field Camps from everyone already. But I am not at all afraid. Come on, nothing to scared what… Pontianaks only go for handsome men, not botaks right. And squat instead of kneeling lah. Or some how you cheat and don’...

MY RIGHT KNEE CAP HURTS TO THE CORE. AND I JUST RAN AFTER THE FERRY, AM I STUPID OR WHAT. Yesterday ran too much le bah. Sprinting isn't some thing that I can do well. And in the process I guess I broke/injured/pulled/stressed/whatever-verb somewhere around my knee. This feeling sucks totally man, feel like some crippled old man.  Anyway I am back here on the Pulau, after some 4 hours of temporary freedom on the mainland, at Orchard Road. Sunday after I get my salary I shall buy albums. MONEY'S GONNA GET BURNT. But I  don't care lah, my lifestyle is kinda screwed lah, like 有多少就花多少 that kind sia. Haha. It feels good to be back in the bunk. And I am all alone in this bunk currently, it certainly provides some form of tranquility and peacefulness. Not that I am complaining that I have noisy bunkmates lah, but it is good to keep alone sometimes and relax. And watch the sea breeze and the sunrise. Hehe. Shall be working for 24 hours later, haha GOOD TO GO. S...

Explosives are really dangerous substances. They go boomz and it CAN instil some fear into people. After all, noobs like us never handled one before. The bunk is crazy over "The Man Who Can't Be Moved". Cos it's the only few angmoh songs that I know how to sing, hahahahaha. RUNNING IS MY LIFE . (yeah I've said that umpteen times, but I still enjoy it) After all the shack-ness we kena everyday, some running cleanses your mind and sets you pondering. And at the same getting me charged once again. What bliss it is to be able to run along the beach, every night.

Some people must stay back. They feel emotional. Some people must stay back. They throw tantrums. Some people must stay back. They go FXXX. I volunteered to do this week's duty in turn for someone else, because he needa go for his love. One choice can lead to different scenarios. We always hope for the better one. Brother must 讲义气 what, right annot. I am sure this is gonna worth it.

Sian lah, today run like shit from Simei to Hougang. Two and half hours. Damn tiring. Hahahaha. Ok lah, kinda comfortable. Try doing all the warm up things learnt during training this week. Anyway, I OFFICIALLY PROCLAIM THAT I HATE CHINESE NEW YEAR . Chinese New Year is a time where everywhere is closed yet crowded. And I am watching some China Chinese New Year Gala shit on Cable TV. Pure Propaganda and Crap. Utter Pointless. Lame humor. And I would be receiving very little angbaos. Well, people no relatives here mah, so do what, eat shit everyday for these few days lor. Seriously it sucks to be an immigrant, man. Sucks totally. Alright, I am feeling selfish. My family members (in case you are curious, there are only 3 of them) and my cousins are around me now. But I don’t like this. I just feel damn bored right now. Why can people go out and have fun and visit here and visit there, while I stay at home eat shit and KKYLP everyday? Life is so freaking unfair. I can’t...

Hmm. Whoever this blog belongs to I actually don’t really care. But the model here is definitely prettier than the Hollyhoque one. Haha. Anyway 3 days deprived of Facebook is killing me. Luckily there is such a great invention called GPRS such that I can still comment and update and keep in touch with the Human World, rather than the @#*?$+%!@&# World at “THE ISLAND GETAWAY”. Our commanders are really good people, and really takes great concern for our welfare. And they got a lot of weird theories to share too! Haha. Shan’t disclose here though, it is copyrighted (I think) from their mouths. I can tell you whatever they said though, hehe. Theories that will make you go WALAU EH 97320323223 times. Kinda deprived of sleep everyday. But I loved Wednesday. Waking up at 5am is indeed a feat, but looking at the clear night sky at Pulau Sejahat is another one. Dazzling stars sia. Never seen so bloody much in my entire bloody life, haha. NS is worth it lah, seriously....
