SATURDAY, 22ND NOVEMBER 2008

Worked until 12 P.M. Ate lunch at Hougang Central, $1.50 Chicken Rice! Made my way to Roxy Singapore Grand Mercure Hotel for the Triathlon Association of Singapore Technical Official Course(Level 1). Thought we were late, but in the end just on time cause the actual timing was different from the stipulated one. Found out that we were the only teenagers down there(Ok at least 15 years old or below, the rest are older). 4 hours, quite dry, but quite cool in terms of the things we get to do.

Hey we can issue yellow and red cards during a triathlon!

International Triathlon Union(ITU) Competition Rules.

YELLOW CARD!

RED CARD!

SUNDAY, 23RD NOVEMBER 2008

Pack camp stuff(HAHA im lazy and i procastinate, so sue me). Booked in at HQ at 8 P.M. after having my last dinner(Sound like im dying or something) at the seafood place near HQ. Met Ivan who was Rong Xuan's primary school friend(Suay HAHA no lah just joking). Supper and spent the night there.

MONDAY, 24TH NOVEMBER 2008

First day of OBS! Ate breakfast at HQ, took a free bus to Punggol Jetty. Sian i live in Seng Kang and yet HQ must make it so troublesome.

Talked to Mui Na and Fara, got to know them. I was in Group 16 or rather, RAFFLES WATCH. Met our instructor Clayton(We get to call him by his name), an ex-infantry officer who was a full lieutanant. Played 'Wild Wild West', a game of reflexes while waiting for the boat, starting everyone blur blur one, dont know how to play, in the end i won 2/3 rounds, HAHA.

RAFFLES WATCH! LOVE IT! FUN!

16 OF US PLUS CLAY.

Took a boat to OBS Camp 2(Later i got to know it was the lousier campsite). Settled all the administrative yadda yadda yadda, store, rations(Mainly biscuits and bread for our breakfast and lunch for the next 5 days).

Went on to our first activity, 'Blade Of Grass', where it you have to trust your partner to catch you from falling, after that was the real trust fall, where you lie back above ground and your watch mates will catch you with a mat.

Learnt belaying basics, easy. Only difference from CHS one is that both hands are always on the rope.

Dinner of rice, of which Clay taught us how to cook. 3,2,1 solid fuel. Use 3 first, when finishing, break another 2 into pieces, when finishing, break 1 into pieces and burn. Quite nice lah for our first time, somemore with all the delicious canned food.

Bathed, signed the Raffles Committment Book, pitched tent, slept with Aidil, Izzul and Scar(4 to a tent).

TUESDAY, 25TH NOVEMBER 2008

From now on, i will follow the abbrievation of UTBTEBMC(Unpitch tent, brush teeth, eat breakfast and morning circle A.K.A reflection) in the morning.

Kayaking lesson, all i know liao because they teaching 1 Star Kayaking Course techniques.

"Learnt" Rafted TX Rescue, after practicing that and slack capsize drill out at sea, eat lunch.

Helped to fill jerry cans for Raffles. Rock climbing, dinner of maggi mee(Either this or rice), trekked to campsite.

Did sentry duty in the night with Izzul and Nabilah. No halting, just checking for wild animals or ~~wild~~ strangers.

WEDNESDAY, 26TH NOVEMBER 2008

UTBTEBMC. Planned our route and off we go.

Basically, all you have to know that our load was heavy(For some of us including me who are not slackers), the forest was infested with mosquitoes that swarm your track pants in order to gain access to their spoils, strained relationships and aching and tired muscles. Oh yah, OBS certainly lives up to its promise that you would be cold and wet, hot and sweaty, thirsty and tired. The only hiong day for me.

Reached the campsite still raining, ate dinner(Maggi mee again, no choice, easier to cook). Changed into DRY shirts and shorts after which the 4 of us, Ian, Leon, Bing Hui and me were the 4 sea expedition leaders planned our expedition, briefed the rest, slept.

Rain half way through, and i slept in a puddle of water.

THURSDAY, 27TH NOVEMBER 2008

Woke up with an abrasions near the groin and behind the knee from the day before, shivering. Had to literally slap myself awake to change into warm clothes before getting into full gear.

Unpitch our tents, loaded the speed boat with our equipment, got our kayaks ready for the expedition.

Launch off, I was the starboard marker along with Dyan as my partner. Ian was the expedition leader, Leon the sweeper and Bing Hui the port marker.

Some people just have to show off and do not know when to wait for his the people that he/she is leading. Haiz...high post some more.

Dyan and me kept slacking and than chionging during the expedition, damn fast sia when we chiong, one moment we are at the back, 5 seconds later we are at the front again. HAHA dragonboat rowing method.

Reached Camp 1, the nicer campsite. Jetty jump, fun but salty.

Changed to dry attire and trekked back to Camp 2. Settled store stuff.

CELEBRATION DINNER! So fast OBS going to finish liao, mix feelings.

Bathed, went to sleep.

28TH NOVEMBER 2008

Last day! UTBTEBMC. Final reflection, final committment activity, settled last of the store stuff, got our stuff back, our certificate and photos.

Waited for the boat, took the last 2 pictures and reached Singapore. Bought my XL Black Polo T-Shirt because there was no L and M size and S was too small. Parted ways with Raffles. Realised after wards that XL is just nice. Blessing in disguise.

Ate lunch with Ivan, Mui Na, Rong Xuan and Samuel at Hougang Mall MC'Donalds, saw Izzul, Scar and Wen Hui.

Chionged home, changed into NO. 4, chionged to HQ. I was panting and was given only 5 minutes to remember 6 commands, OMGIDKWTH. In the end, i was dropped from Parade RSM to Colours RSM(As a candidate, actual day than know who is the actual one) because my hair was too long. DAMN IT! No time to cut what.

Reached home, bathed(Finally!), ate dinner, rushed out to eat steamboat with F³C. HAHA hungry mah. In the end i ate only a little and sneaked off without paying because my brothers got my back covered. THANKS GUYS(Sort of like celebration after coming back home).

SATURDAY, 29TH NOVEMBER 2008

Played soccer at Yong Hwee's house, was so much stronger and faster.

RAFFLES WATCH! LOVE THEM! WILL DEFINITELY MISS THEM!

I will always remember you guys, sounds as if we will not see each other again but we will have outings yeah! I will also remember Clayton, for his wise ~~wisdom~~ words and joking ~~jokes~~ stories.

Overall, it was THE BEST experience though there were a few slackers of whom i shall not name, whoever you are, please reflect on your attitude coming into OBS and how much that certificate means to you, in fact it means nothing because you did not put in your best and shows in the way you crumple, fold and roll your certificate.

Clayton's phrase: "I can bring you to the gate, but YOU decide how far you want to go."

OBS(5D5N). INSPIRATIONAL. MOTIVATIONAL. 5 FRUITFUL DAYS.

MEMORIES.

GO CHEETAH, GET BANANA!

HEY MONKEY, GET FUNKY!

The star wars parody of 'Jungle Song'. Hilarious and cute. 00:52 is nice, 01:15 is very suggestive.

The original MV by Toy Box. The dance at 00:52 is SASSY. I like the guy's voice at 01:53, 02:21, 02:24 and his moves at 02:01 and 02:05. CLASSIC. Hook, line and sinker. Im hooked.

THURSDAY, 20TH NOVEMBER 2008
1st day of work at Punggol Primary School(Senior Daniel's ex-school) selling uniforms. Was an hour late because of SBS, i waited 45 minutes for bus 88 to come. I felt damn pissed, imagine how Rong Xuan must have felt, after all his cousin is the ~~balls~~ boss.

Slack and easy after grasping the basics, after lunch left with practically nothing to do.

While going to Yong Hwee's house on 372, i saw an old man who had difficulty carrying his stuff, offered to help(Im a 乖 boy boy), he told me ~~to F off~~ no thanks and showed me a page of his journal. HE WAS 114 years old(Born in 1894). OMGIDKWTH(Thanks Amanda for correcting me) old lah. He was an ex-journalist who worked during the war times. That is not the scary thing though, the scary thing was he shooked my hand before i alighted i went like OMGIDKWTH because it was a VERY firm grip he had on me. SICK SHIT.

Soccer, played until 8:15 P.M. because we were gambling on free kicks. 5 balls, Goalie- Player shoot out(If all 5 balls shoot out, last ball count as $0.50 as penalty): $0.10, Save: $0.20, Catch: $0.50. Player- Goal: $1.00

This was a spontaneous idea and we are not compulsive gamblers, it is a once in a blue moon kind of thing for fun and kicks, literally.

Won the most in the end through Garry Mag(Hope your not injured), HAHA.

I felt like the scene at 01:04 during the game of soccer, falling NUTS. INFER(Yong Hwee should know what happened).

FRIDAY, 21ST NOVEMBER 2008
Same thing, this time i wasnt late. My(And also THE) first customer made the biggest purchase of the day. $134 worth of schoolwear.

Before lunch was quite busy, after lunch as usual, was spend practically doing nothing. Should have brought an umbrella(CHS should know why, go find out why if you do not know).

Went to Beach Road with Rong Xuan after that to buy ~~goodies~~ OBS stuffs.

See Wei Kit, i told you so, AI graduation was today! 不听晖扬言，吃亏在眼前. The course AI 有比我仔 meh? HAHA.

一鸣惊人. 22/24.

I was the reserve-reserve. Fate would have it that i will become part of CHS NCC Air Shooting Team. Donson, the original reserve backed out on compassionate grounds, as for Kenneth...

NCC Annual Shooting Competition 2008. Detail 4. Lane 4. I have always thought Nee Soon Camp had some sort of curse for shooting ever since Part A, during IMT, all i see is a blur patch of black. Live range now, things are different. More recoil, more gun powder, more smoke and more heat(From the barrel).

Going in was a drag, briefing was a little redundant but we listened nonetheless. Soon(By soon i mean alot later), it was our turn. I wasnt nervous at all, being the reserve-reserve, i thought of it as another live range with marksman at 10 marks, but you have 24 rounds to get the 10 marks with.

I guess it worked(Read the first line above). ZAI. 1 shot 2 targets go down, COOL. AND NOW NOVELL KNOWS ABOUT HER. Ai yo Wei En ah! HAHA.

Went back school, went home, chionged lunch, went to Yong Hwee's house, rained so cannot play soccer =(. So we went LAN at Hougang Green =), today for me quite good already =). Went home by taking 161.

How i have proven myself today, SIR Goh even doubt my capabilities, i guess class will tell everytime =). Today, the reserve-reserve proves himself to be a hidden power/talent of the team.

I ♥

My life, my heart, my soul, PDS RIFLE.

The song playing is the song i used to like but i had forgotten about. I would always play it when i feel down or gloomy, somehow it always manages to motivate me =).

Sonnet 18

Shall I compare Thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as man can breath, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

~ William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

This is a complimentary and romantic verse which Shakespeare composed and recited to a guy.

'It's a Boy Girl Thing'(F.Y.I it is a movie), Woody Deane(In Nell Bedworth's body): Oh my god, who would have thought? Shakespeare was a homo.

I found that stupid. What i found stupider was the title 'Sonnet to a Tiger Lily' instead of 'Sonnet 18'. Go figure.

I remembered the question "What would be the first thing you would like to try if you were a girl?" posted to one of the male contestants of Mediacorp's 校花校草. It struck me mainly because it was relevant in its stupidity as one of the contestants said that our minister mentor was Goh Chok Tong... -_-

My answer to that question would be to try shopping for an entire day. Because it seems to me that girls get tired over the shortest of distance walking, that is until they walk in a mall. Malls must have some sort of hidden feet massager underground or something. Human shopping dynamoes, GIRLS=WEIRD(And vice versa what us boys are like to them). Go figure.

I guess we as humans were never meant to understand other people of the opposite gender. Bottomline: IGNORANCE IS BLISS.

Today went to clean up the store, PDS and train up. I didnt do the last one because i felt too lazy. Reached school at 7:20 A.M., slept(YES SLEPT in the store) until 10:00A.M. Woke up, went to J8 eat breakfast. Met Desheng, he accompanied the Part A's to shooting competition and was waiting until 12:30 A.M. to go with the Part B's for their competition as well.

Return to the store sweep, move stuffs and PDS until 1:30 P.M. Basically all i did was Rotation, Vincent Toss, Left Handed Rotation, Right Handed Clockwise Rotation, Triple Jumbo, Rising Sun, Triple AXP and tried to do Helicopter. Ended up with a knock on my noggin. OUCH! Nice bump. Slacked with Rui Jie and Yong Kang in NPCC store before leaving for home.

Through today, I really respect Desheng. He do all the shit for NCC Land, and still helped me to clean OUR AIR STORE. Epitome of altruism. Respected ASM =).

This is considered "VERY" clean already. For a store used by guys.

F.Y.I the table is clean and almost empty.

TUESDAY, 11TH NOVEMBER 2008
NYAA Silver training, did PDS for around 2.5 hours ~~and left Wei Kit and Yu Cheng in awe of my awesomeness.~~

Felt damn sian(Even i damn sian leh!), asked Benedict to dismiss us early rather than waste the time kicking the wall with a football. Actually is not the wall, it was something else, but cannot post here HAHA.

Ate lunch, wore my F³C jersey for the first time, played soccer at the same court(Read Saturday section). Wore my sexy boots for the first time. Although it was very wet, it was fun nonetheless.

After which left for LAN at Raiders, this time with Don's friends(They played soccer too). Ben kept headshot me, damn pek chek.

Left for home. Prepared NO. 3 uniform.

HUI YANG #7.

Adidas.

F³C. Brotherhood!

WEDNESDAY, 12TH NOVEMBER 2008
Dad drove me and Yong Hwee to SBAB(Sembawang Airbase) for RSAF attachment otherwise known as SBAB attachment. Was an hour early(7:30 A.M.)when the reporting time was 8:30 A.M.

We were the earliest ~~retards~~ people followed by a 1SG from SJI, i think is Eugene Lam/Lim not sure.

Administrative yadda yadda yadda over, went to the Officer's Mess for refreshments and 2 videos, one about HeliG and the other the history of SBAB.

Lunch, flight experience on Chinook. NICE(This is true and also im just too lazy to describe the experience to you, try it out yourself).

I think my feet shrunk. Find out why.

THURSDAY, 13TH NOVEMBER 2008
Attachment day 2. We were the earliest there again with that same guy from SJI(Read above). Before lunch, went around learning about AH-64D Apache Longbow, CH-47, aircraft weapons and weapon systems, how to detect and fix aircraft cracks.

Lunch and flight ~~stimulator~~ simulator, ok bah, not as fun i thought it would be when i was a ~~naive~~ cadet.

FRIDAY, 14TH NOVEMBER 2008
Last half a day. Changed venue and went to Chong Pang Camp. EARLIEST THERE AGAIN...Do i sound angry to you? Injured my tailbone by sitting on a METAL handrest. It hurts when i sneeze and do some other stuffs(Limited to only your imagination).

Watched Achmed The Dead Terrorist while waiting for the rest, and refreshements. Learnt about a few ground-based sensor and weapon systems. Oh yah got the pictures we took the day before.

Dismissed. Went back to school, watched NCC LAND Year 2008 Muster Parade. Good job to those who got promoted to 1SG(Kenneth Soh being one of them). Haha Kun Liang didnt promote and i think he is still in Japan as i type.

Ate lunch and went with Yong Hwee, Keefe, Nathan and Kenneth Soh to Hereen NewUrbanMale.com. Bought our discounted Braziliano Praias. I got PINK(Recent liking)!

Top view(Back).

9 days have gone by since my last post...Not to worry for you ~~addicts~~ people out there, help is here in the form of my new post.

Corruption at its best, nah Greed would be a better word to use since no illegal means was utilised to obtain this sexy lime green flat panel speakers free when it cost $22.50($12 after discount).

THURSDAY, 30TH OCTOBER 2008
Woke up early in the morning a little groggy, after having a sleep-less(As in lesser sleep, not no sleep) night. Left eye was bloody swollen, picture this: Your eye cant open much, and it is very much smaller than the other eye.

Visited my 阿麽 at Sims *****, block *****(Dont want you stalk the grandmother of the greatest person alive leh, what can you do about it), havent visited her for quite some time, felt damn guilty about it. Accompanied her to Bedok North market at Block 538 to buy some of her groceries. I was quite worried every single bit of the way because of her difficulty(NOT disability) of movement. Felt relieved upon reaching her house. Chatted with her for a fair bit of time and i bade her farewell, leaving with a heavy heart.

With the several years i spent with her(She used to live with my family, and moved out to live with my auntie), i recalled her being a GREAT cook. Her curry was absoulutely fabulous, her chicken herbal brew was marvelous, the fries(Yes fries) she makes are simply amazing, heck even the rice she cooks using a rice cooker would taste fantastic. Simple desserts like ice-cream and jelly that she makes are really nice too.

All that being said, she moved out and started having more health problems, but we didnt we visit as much as she would have loved us to. Even during conversations, i can only understand 50% of it(Hokkien), if not i will go 'mm', 'ah', 'or'. I could probably blame the inept amount of time with her on my hectic school life, maybe 80%, but who am i kidding, 20% on my laziness doesnt exactly make me an angel. I really regret so much time wasted, knowing that she will pass on indefinitely, so to all of you out there, however cliche it may be, CHERISH the people around you.

I know i didnt, and it is really hard to communicate when you dont know the language. There were plenty of things i wanted to ask my grandmother like what kind of a person my grandfather was, and heck even weird things like why she put salt in the refrigerator.

FRIDAY, 31ST OCTOBER 2008
After CIP, my virgin LAN session with F³C. Counter Strike is fun!

SATURDAY, 1ST NOVEMBER 2008
CIP(Real one), OSIM Corporate Triathlon. Drinks station staff, fun and slack and free H-TWO-O.

My "VOLUNTEER" tag with the lanyard. OSIM is such an ugly logo.

SUNDAY, 2ND NOVEMBER 2008
Had an intellectual conversation with SOMEONE at night on MSN...NOT. Enjoyable and insightful, not intellectual though...HAHA.

MONDAY, 3RD NOVEMBER 2008
Same as Friday.

TUESDAY, 4TH NOVEMBER 2008
~~Same as Friday.~~ Siao, if it was, im so screwed.

WEDNESDAY, 5TH NOVEMBER 2008
~~China~~ Chinese 'O' Level Examinations. Relatively easy as compared to the school's exam. Should be able to get A1.

THURSDAY, 6TH NOVEMBER 2008
Went to school to help Brandon with the new metal cabinets that were to replace the old and rusty ones. Thought it was 1, but SIR Goh ordered 2. $300 EACH. Air Fund is in abundance i guess. I was A LITTLE(An understatement) late...Sorry Brandon.

Move the old cabinets to the area above the Fall-In Area by a long route through the road behind it using the trolley. Damn it was heavy ~~for even a strong guy like me.~~

Did PDS after that, went Yong Hwee's house play soccer. FUN FUN.

FRIDAY, 7TH NOVEMBER 2008
Met Kenneth, Alan and Yong Hwee at Compass Point 12:20 P.M. Was a little(This time it is real) late though. Oh yah, APOLOGIES to Edison for not going badminton, but i was just too tired and only woke up at 11:45 A.M.

Met Kun Liang at Queenstown MRT stations. When Queensway, met Nathan and went to look around for awhile. Collected the F³C jerseys for all 14 of us, eat curry chicken rice for lunch, thank you Kun Liang for introducing us to eat such ~~shit~~ nice food. LAN at Raiders, went home with Yong Hwee in 159.
