Rush.

My whole family left for Genting with the other relatives on Friday night. I'm left with the whole house myself. Judging from the things I've done, I don't think I'm able to live alone by myself. :)
And my feet, which is blistered from the 16km march, is still hurting like hell.

Yesterday, I went to meet Jiamin and Bryan for lunch at Sushi Tei at Thomson Plaza. Was my first time there and was quite impressed by the food. Then we to meet up with Felix, Weili and Shaoqi before proceeding to Sim Lim. Weili left and we went to Sitex 08 at Expo. Was seriously far away! Luckily they bought something there, if not it's sure a wasted trip! We then went over to PS to have some Pizza Hut feast, and 3 of us watched the movie, Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Was not too bad afterall, except some parts of the movie wasn't that realistic. But as a whole, it was still a rather humorous one.

Not long ago, I just went to buy some foodies back to bunk. And it's alot! :D

ROAR!

Rewarding. Satisfying. HAPPY.

This week is just as what has been described. Probably a little shag and tired, because of all the exhausting activities over the week. And most of the important events are over!

Other than that, few reasons why I feel great for this week is because..

I FINALLY PASSED MY IPPT! It just feels like I haven passed my fitness tests for a long time, since sec school/poly! Although it's not the holyshit Gold or Silver, but its good enough for me now. The feeling is damn shiok man! I could book out earlier than most of them! 1 more chinup and running 20 sec faster, and I'll be a Silver already! Work hard harder, Shawn! :D

The commanders told me I'm Platoon Best. I told them my physical so cui, how to be best?! Then they told me it's based on everything, the overall performance. Of course, it's an encouragement for me, but I somehow still can't believe it. There are many others who are more capable and competent than me! But still, let's hope it's real alright!

Last but not least, 'm POP-ing soon loh! I'm finally left with about a week! But I definitely would be missing those people and life in there!

disappointing.

This week was shitty, and suay. Like the title says, i'm was really disappointed with myself.

With such important role given, I ended up cocking the whole thing up. The worse thing is that it even happened on the very first day.

Thinking back, simple tasks like those could be easily done by many others. Then, when i thought hard and cooled down, and finally led things back to the right track, that suay and serious incident had to happen! Worse of all, blisters with all sizes on my feet with extreme extreme pain had to come. I still had one that is blood-filled. My movements were so restricted. I'll never forget how he said "Fuck off", when i made that mistake.

Anyway, the 3 days there made me reflect on how well my leadership skills are. Organisation sucked, management sucked, planning sucked. Made me consider hard, my suitability. But still holding on to a bit of hope. All these together with that incident, i've fully regret for what i've done. I could, and should have done better. My expectations wasn't meant to be like that.

But of course, what's over is already over, i wouldn't brood over it. Fortunately, I did gain tiny weeny bit of pride back when we were back. As commonly mentioned, "Too shag, can't think", could somehow be used to describe my situation.

On a sidenote, I've gotten my company photos. At a blink of an eye, I have 2 more weeks left to POP. Time flies, isn't it?

I like to move it!

Initially i thought the plan was to go Zouk-ing, which that was one of my motivations to pass thru the 6 days field camp. Next week then... Coming back, I went out with few of the usuals (who else, then?). Finally had them to walk around Bugis. Only got to buy just one berms. Was rather disappointed while asking the uncle for size 30.

He spoke and gave the you-know-one-lah look, "Boy, you sure you can fit in size 30 anot, I think you 32 or 34 one leh." I was thinking, "Am i that fat already anot?!" And, before he passed me the bag, he's still not giving up and is still doubtful about the fact that I can't fit into it. He took and measured around my waist, and was finally assured.

Anyway, later on we moved on to MS and met up with Kelvin and Leeleng in the cinema. We watched Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. Although the movie's running time was rather short, but it sure was very nice and hilarious. The characters was cute too, esp the baby cub. And there were also credits given to Bernie Mac in voicing, at the end of the movie. But a pity he died, he was a great comedian then.

Ending this post, I'll definitely recommend anyone to watch this movie! It's nice!

My name's so nice, you say it twice.

wah! song song gao jurong!

Came back from my 6D5N 'holiday'! I lost about 3-4kg! Happy happy!

Just reached home (the BEST!), FINALLY bathed and cleared my... *ehem*. That was a total test of your rectum's power! And i'd never want to settle it there again, trust me! 6 days leh! So song now! :)

Basically, i came back with lots of wounds, blisters, abrasions and insect bites. Most of the time, i'm quite filled up with mud, soil, dirt, sweat, rain water and camo cream. I've seen and did the grossest and most disgusting thing in there. You wouldn't dare imagine. Colours i see everyday are always green, black and brown. I hate it when dusk draws, there's no light and you see nothing.

Something to add, most of us developed heat rash. It's the worst experience of all! Feels like thousands and millions of needles poking your skin, literally, all over your body. I'm serious! Totally unbearable for us.

And I'll never forget that particular uber uber uber shivering cold and rainy day. That was the worst of my life! But also not forgetting how i spent that wet night with those buddies! My buddies said that i snored damn loud! I didn't have snoring probs for close to a decade already! I must be really tired then! Sorry buds! :)

And also that one evening where we received letters from our loved ones. Even before the letters were given out, one buddy just cried for whole 30 minutes! And i would conclude that CRYING IS CONTAGIOUS. And yes, I CRIED, in fact most did. Initially i was guessing the reason why was everyone tearing. Not long after, tears unknowingly just fell down like nobody's business on my cheeks, while reading the letter Mum wrote. I felt a sudden pain and aching in my heart. Has been a very long time since i've teared. I'd say it's the atmosphere. But the scene's real funny, with whole bunch of guys crying together!

Although this trip was very tired, shag and shitty, but it was indeed a great memorable and fulfilling experience for me. I've actually learnt many many new stuffs, and great to have did things i've never did before. Somehow had fun there lah, with the buddies. I'm happy to have went thru this!

But if you ask me, 'Since so, would you want to do this again?'

I'll answer, "GO THRU THOSE SHIT AGAIN??!!!! HELL NOOOOOOOOO! :)

yeah?

I'm gonna rant that i have only 1 sec more to go for my 2.4km run to pass for my IPPT!!

but heck lah, what's over is already over. ytd night went to orchard area and roamed around with my bunch of army friends. went to play arcade and pool, and ended up watching 007: Quantum of Solace. Was rather shitty except for the main characters who are really hot. One is good looking, the other looking damn pretty. I actually dozed off at many parts of the movie! Stayed up late all the way till 3AM, dudes! It sure was fun before going for my "holiday"!

Went out to get the standard, common and cheap Casio watch for army. But mine was a cool and rather unique one. Looking retro with its gold outlining, I kinda liked it. Then went off to meet Felix for lunch.

Bye guys! Heading off to my 6D5N "holiday"! Wish me luck! :)

happy halloween!

Too shag to even think.

Got to book out yesterday night. Initially was going to River Valley for some supper with my platoon mates, but i pulled out at the end. Felt quite guilty too. Was really really exhausted after the 1½ days of shit, but with only less than 4 hours of rest in total. But I feel this week is really well spent with my buddies, with craps and nonsense as usual. There was one night where i indeed fell onto the floor, laughing all the way until the other end of the corridor, because of some nonsense i saw one of my buddy doing. Till now i still can laugh when i think about it! It's really dumb! :D

But it's still quite an emo week. One buddy just broke up (i can't help him much since i've no experience), one has some gf problem (sigh!), two others are some problematic creeps (f.....s). But i feel that i'm bonding even better with some of them. Like what some say, "suck-cock buddies". Err, that's just a term and mere description, not literally... :)

Anyway, today went to meet with a couple of platoon mates coming from all sections. The combination was really weird, but surprisingly we still can click. We started from Beach Road a.k.a army market, buying some stuffs we need for the upcoming field camp. Then headed to Bugis for some shopping. Had quite alot of things i wanted to buy, but just didn't have the "fate" to own it. Hmm. Some left, some others joined. Then we walked to PS, had some fun in the arcade. Haven been there for quite some time but still enjoyed it. Had our dinner, and finally met Weili and Felix at Vivo.

Ending this post, just wanna mention that i'm not some Bobo Shooter! Wahahaha! :)
