My 2nd book out! Not as glamourous as the 17 days confinement bookout day and the feeling is just normal now. What a good thing those pes c companies surrounding us are even booking out too on their adjustment period. Those pes c recruits all around us, some seem like their perfectly fine and they can do more than 20+ pull ups while on the extreme side are just... a handfull hopeless fatsos who can even do any exercise other than buddha clap and they just walk around slowly to meal house to eat eat eat without having a proper seat for themselves.
Well, what a great news over the week is that i managed to pass my IPPT diag test after slogging so much shitty effort for it, which means i won't get to confine over the weekends doing extra physical training! Having freedom out is what recruit see as the most precious thing. If i would to get confine, this means that i gotta book in and out 2 times per weekend which practically waste all of my time travelling to and forth. Still, i'm very disappointed with my results especially on my pullups and sbj, which the crucial factor is my weight.
The training schedule is so tight today that everyone hardly gets to rest, doing standby bed everyday or even twice a day, rushing for physical training and drills, especially in drill squad which makes things worse, and getting fcuk by the commanders for the whole damn day since morning. Lights not off during lights out, fidgeting, chatting on soc ground, sluggish mvt, stupidity these and that all sums up to the whole day of punishment. Hw bored can that be.
I tried almost all my obstacles on the soc ground and i still cant complete the low rope and swingtrainer after so much tries. These damn obstacles just makes my blisters worsen and with my present fats still around makes it impossible to complete it. The stupid ramps just makes my leg hurts. Ironically the jacob's ladder seems easier than expected which could be said the easiest obstacle of all. Anyway it's so obvious that i gonna fail soc anyway.
Enough of blogging, my head is nodding off.
so come on, tell me.

Damn, a whole sat is just not enough to spent my time resting off meaningfully. The nike cap looks so wierd on me in my bald head, so i went down the streets of orchard to get another cap. Things seems to be different nowadays, i'm starting to get unfamiliar with the routes and directions somehow. It's somehow not used to being caught between the civilian and military style of life. I could finally appreciate how nice our mainland's food are, compared to the old small cookhouse, which i will be going back there tonight.
Fcuk it, my 960i is starting to get disobedient after being neglected for more than 2 weeks. I couldn't recieve any calls or msgs the whole morning till freddy called down my house and told me that he couln't reach me. Guess it wouldn't be long before i get pissed off and smash this phone into pieces. Anyway, i would be coming down to causeway to have lunch again with him before i go off. Sad to say, Orion is one of the earliest to book in later this evening and i wouldn't have much time staying here too. The journey there gonna takes "ages", so always good to have a car to drive there!
no one
so come on, tell me.

Whew, i'm really going crazy after being confine in the stupid tekong for 17 days. I think i have started to lose my touchtyping momentum. NS is starting to make me feel stupid somehow, there's like no need for any brain thinking and all you need is listen and follow or get
fcuk. Simple. I simply got too much to say here, but i just can't type them out due to my stupidity. What that really bothers me is my 2 big contrast of skin tone with such an obvious shirt tanline. It's damn obvious especially since i just entered for merely 2 weeks plus and i just don't fucking know what will happen to me after 2 years. To makes things worse, i feel that my body is getting even heavier and bulkier each day.
Getting confined in the stupid tekong is really sickening and depressing. There are so rules and regulations as well as restrictions to certain thing that u can do. Confinement or in another word adjustment week takes only 2 weeks, but we are doing it for more than 2 weeks, 2 weekends, 2 sundays. I doubt no one in my jc class will ever understand this crazy feeling. And our company was the 2nd earliest to get enlisted and now we were the last to get book out in the night. And with this new stupid system, my coming bloc leave will be like only 5 days? This really sucks.
Haha, training over there was shag but managable somehow or another. Each morning i woke up thinking that i won't make it for the day but another moment i realised that i had ended the day with all these stupid trainings. Schedules were really kinda tied up, where trainings get be like 2 AGRs in a day. I could do anything there but not running which i hate it. And things that i have really regretted was growing fat during the A level period which made my combat fitness dropped drastically.
The feeling back in Singapore was so weird with all the cars on streets and civilians walking around and not marching. The first shopping mall i saw was the
new downtown east where the lightnings and decor made me felt like i was in australia. But too bad that that was not a reality. I'm just a soldier after all.

Well i left out 3 days of blogging. I suppose there's no time for everything now. I have tried to spent all my time hanging out with my friends for the past week, and now it comes to a stop. Sickening ns, 4 months really comes fast when i don't even realise. My hair is nicely shaved for the past few hours now,took damn lots of courage to walk down to the barber downstair and just ask for a shave. wahaha. At least i won't go in tekong and get shaven unevenly. Well, it's gonna be a sad life from now, i have so much stuffs left undone but i guess i have to forget about it and just put it off.
I'm off now. Happy birthday to sharon xie and hope she had her fun on her 19th birthday.
Ok, it's time to say goodbye to my civilian life and welcome to the cruel life of army.
My sad ending. BLeH.
so come on, tell me.
5:27 PM:
Ok, i was supposed to finish up all my blog entries by yesterday but too my internet cable got crashed with the cabletv connection and there goes another day wasted.
Thur, i didn't remember what was i doing clearly due to my STM but i knew i was stuck at home due to the heavy afternoon rain, and i had a meet up with my old friend sally at vivo. The rest couldn't make it as usual due to the impromptu event. Ok, go we had our dinner at secret recipe there, and there was so much catch ups to be done. She could tell that i dislike ns a lot and was telling me not to worry while i wasn't really bothered about it at the moment. I realised that it going uni was actually as tough as jc life and it takes really a lot of effort to study hard to get quality grades, as the system works like poly with the high competition on courses like business. She's kinda lucky in sim the school gives incentives like a 4k reward with every distinction on cert. Hopefully other schools like the local Us will provide such incentives too. =X Ok, i really got caught up with my interest with stars over there and i shall take some time to study on that one day too. Ha, the meetup was quite a short one though since she was late. Maybe the next time i see her would really be years down the road. But anyway i was grateful for her company on that day. =)
Friday. I realised that i had woke up late for the starhub training and gotta rush to ayer rayah for sat's roadshow. The bus 91 was crap, i was late for extra 30 mins as i was caught up with a slow driving uncle, and even worse thing that he refuses to let me alight when i pressed the bell. That made me walked for extra 200m to reach the office. Doing sales training may be a bit hard, but i don't understand why is starhub so rich to retrain staff that we alrdy know. And the generous travis even let us clocked off at 2 while we actually ended at 12.30. Oh well, but something happen and i was late for lunch with the roach aka zhiliang. His a crazy dude, eating fastfood when his fever has just subsided. It's a sad thing now that we arn't able to contact as often due to the banned from RO, but hopefully he will make his effort to keep in touch with 06A01 with years to come.
There comes the smu interview, i was rushing against time by the time then, i didn't even know which freaking building was it at and i was panicing at city hall when it was just 10 mins towards the interview. Even the cab doesn't know where the hell it was and i dashed across the red light streets and i was really lucky that i didn't got knocked down by the cars. But i managed to reach the place just in time. And after the interview i guess there's no chance to get enrolled in as they are selecting only 600 applicants out of 2000. Coincidently Linton was there in my grp and we had our small 6H dinner at raffles city, ha.

Well, finally able to finish up 2 entries yesterday so though that i could leave the my meetup with esther for today's entry. So ytd i met up with her and i got scolded by her for the whole mrt trip to chinatown for not making "business deal" with her, and it was so xiasuay with her sacarstic remarks throughout the whole journey. Oh well, we finally got to maxwell where we had our foods laid all over the table, which i almost vomited after having the phobia ytd on seoul garden, haha. But seriously the food is nice so i decided not to waste it.
OK, this is the 3rd attempt that i'm trying to finish this entry, before esther kills me for not posting it. Ok, so then we went to the some temple oppisite mawell to pray for my stupid ns journey, after then had some peanut sesame balls before we went off from china town, heading towards red cross headquarters where esther helped her qx
bestie with some favor. And we missed 1 stop towards DB station as esther doesn't dare to cross the mrt platform just because of the
door closing signal. And the way she stared at the platform gap makes me think the gap was too big for her to cross, while all the passengers inside were moving in to let her in. What a joke, haha.
And we walked all the way to wisma to look for my cap and belt while esther was whining for her sony digital camera. Got 1 at the stadium, though the colour looks quite striking and the belt at topman. Oh, the cap was a gift from esther to that i will remember her existence and to remind myself to do a "business deal" with her one day. I guess that was my last shopping before my enlistment. Saw the gorgeous jamie yeo over there, but esther kept pulling me away from looking at her. So mean, if it was some handsome chap she would have pulled my do stalking with her =P. Went to the final destination vivo where she bought her sony cam where she went to huihui's workplace for some showoff before we had dinner at nypizza. Well, thats how i spend my last wednesday as a civilian. Haha, a big thanks for her company!
Excite yourself, not.
so come on, tell me.

What a bored day ytd. I dragged myself up to the stadium doing runs and gyming. The track was wasn't that scorching, and i got the chance to run on the tracks. It seems like my stamina has really dropped quite a bit. But i could still do my normal 2.4 klicks rounds on the track, though things weren't are as nice as my jc years. Hmm it was like paradise on the tracks a moment and too bad i finished my runs. Doing gym that day was so unmotivated, people there were like doing more weights than me, but who cares. But the great thing was that i had managed to cut down my 1.5kg! What a small achievement i suppose. There finally came the heavy rain again when i was about to go home, but this time i wasn't lazy to bring my umbrella out though it was kinda useless, and i was late for dinner again.
Ha, i made edmund waited for me for like 45 mins due to the stupid rain. I made a stupid decision of choosing seoul garden thinking that i could have ate a lot after gym. It's such a great thing to have a safra membership cause edmund got his 10% discount over there, which save around five bucks from his treat! We were like basically grabbing whatever food there is, like a glutton pig though he's worse +) Rounds and rounds of meat we have ate, stuffing the last bowl of dessert. I couldn't eat anymore, but the ice cream was too tempting that i had to get it down my stomach. And it ended up that i was forcing on my ice cream while he was forcing on his fruits while controlling ourselves not to laugh too hard cause everything may just vomit out anytime, lol. By the time we left the place i could feel my stomach stretching out to the maximum and i couldn't even walk and stand properly, nor even talk properly. People who called me that night thought i was drunk, but in fact i sounded really drunk. It really took some time before i could take all my strength to get a train back home. What a day, what a treat, a memorable event. =)
It's six days left.
so come on, tell me.
