F.
This week has been bad, feeling damn emo and down for these 2 days. Why should everyone be enjoying, while I'm there doing shit? But now i've thought over and got over with it.
Life still goes on, I'm still doing shit no matter what, isn't it? I've to sacrifice to protect the nation and you! Hah.
Happy New Year! I'll update more things again. Ciaos, back to camp soon! :)
PS: Last but not least, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CALEEN QUEK!
Just booked out today, luckily for Christmas. Settled a couple of army stuffs with Bryan driving around after bookout.
Btw, my rank's no longer considered Private. Many would have read from the news. There's a new rank for SISPEC trainees, SCT (Specialist Cadet Trainee), we're the first batch to have this. Rather SIMILAR to those of OCT (Official Cadet Trainee). Anyway, the only best thing about this new rank is probably the pay rise. (No big difference, actually.)
Btw, I'm in Charlie company. Holy shit, the most siong and garang coy in SISPEC. Most of them says "Good Luck", upon hearing. So, really good luck liao.
Fortunately, I've got a couple of familiar faces in my platoon.
The upcoming weeks will be deadly, i strongly believe. Pray hard for my survival, i'm serious.
If only Lt. Eva McKenna was my PC, how siong also no problem. Heh.
HO! HO! HO! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! :D
My journey as a spec officially starts tomorrow in SISPEC, Pasir Laba Camp, which is located somewhere at Boonlay. From Serangoon to Boonlay.. Awww.. :(
Good luck to me anyway! Pray that everything goes smoothly, and may all my friends come in the same coy/platoon/section with me.
Merry X'mas, everybody! (now x'mas meh? no mood leh.)
Went out with Bryan and Chunhong during early afternoon to Vivo. Bryan bought a Levis' jeans using the $50 jeans trade-in promotion. Anyway, we walked the whole of Vivo, and i finally had Mega McSpicy. It was really huge and damn spicy!
Hanged around for awhile more, before I went to meet up with Weili. We went to Fareast. Bumped into Meiting twice there, and she called me "Eh botak!", for the 2 times. I'm not really botak leh, i just have shorter hair, that's all! :D
Kok Boon wanted to join us for shopping after work, but its kinda too late by then. So we headed to Hougang to have McDonald's together with Felix who have just booked out. (He's booking in again tomorrow! Sad-ed. :D ) My appetite has indeed really really really increased, after the days in army. SHIT, more exercises!
Btw, I'm now posted to SISPEC! BUT WHERE IS MY MP VOCATION?! Damn. I worry about my future days in SISPEC. GG liao lor. Good luck to me man!
Went for the gym today. Had a run and did some exercises for my lats and arms, hopefully i'd improve for my 2.4km run and chinups. After that, was about to meet Bryan and Chunhong who have finished swimming at the pool beside the gym.
We waited for some time before we found out we are at 2 different places! I'm at Hougang and they're at Anchorvale! It's damn stupid lah! Then we went to AMK to have hokkien mee and walking around, buying food along the way like as if we're some tourists.
And yesterday is a damnnnnn longggg day. Tiredness to be included.
Been listening to the same old emo chinese songs these days, probably due to the fact that my bunk mates are emo-ing with chinese songs played in there. Ronald Cheng (鄭中基) and Eason Chan (陈奕迅). 2 of my favourite male singers.
Take some time to load the vids, they're ALL seriously nice. Guarantee plus chop, plus free gift. Heart-wrenching songs, dudes, watch it.
鄭中基 - 絕口不提！愛你
鄭中基 - 戒情人
鄭中基 - 你的眼睛背叛你的心
鄭中基 - 別愛我
郑中基 - 别让我心疼
陳奕迅 - 預感
陳奕迅 - 淘汰
陳奕迅 - 愛情轉移
Went to the gym today. I was alone, but the weather was great. I found my fitness had indeed improved because of army. Thou it was exhausting but I sprinted for 3KM! It is my greatest record! But after that, my legs felt sooooo wobbly.
Anyways, these few days has been super bored.
Last sunday, went to my uncle's house to celebrate the birthday of my cousin's baby (complex relationships. the baby's my niece?). They finally saw my botak hair, and was commenting about it. Lol. Had a great chat with my cousin and her husband. Was damn fun, the uncles and aunties went on having their Cantonese karaoke sessions. Really had generation gap man! But was nice songs!
After that, they played the DVD with photo compilations of all the festivals and occasions we celebrated together, from the 80s all the way till now. Me and my cousin felt damn embarrassing looking back at those toot and obiang days. But its good lah, a contrast to now. Heh. Didn't take alot of pics, so quite lazy to post.
Then after that, I went to have supper with Bryan and friends. Went to many quite alot of places before heading somewhere at Tiong Bahru. And I just came back to the same old place because my uncle stayed at Tiong Bahru! Sat down talk cock till 2am. Sure did have fun.
And tommorrow..
Meeting my ex-colleague to visit the colleagues at SGH. Probably be going out with my usual platoon mates. See how it goes. I'm actually waiting for some photos. Waiting for the Standard Chartered 08 event and our Platoon BBQ photos. And probably some other POP pics.
Yesterday night, or should i say this morning, we went to Dbl O. Before that, we had our dinner at Shokudo located at Heeren. Not too bad lah, although i've heard negative comments about it.
After eating, we walked to PS to watched Bolt.
I must say that Bolt is quite a nice movie. It's actually also quite funny. The characters are darn cute, i swear! Especially Rhino the Hamster! He's full of tricks! For me, I didn't regret watching it. Haha!
Some screenies from the movie..
Hmm. After the movie, we made a long way to Dbl O. It was Retro Night, best for me! But I think there are quite a lot of people outside our age group, sooooo.... quite sian lah. I was quite afraid that someone would say "Wah boy boy, so young come Dbl O ah." Lol. On the dance floor, we were singing and dancing to the songs, like so crazy! I think it was me and Felix! Haha.
The night wasn't really enjoyable, i guess, except for some nonsense we did and said while we were 3/4 drunk.
We probably had too much to drink. I'm still fine, just feeling tipsy. FELIX is really owning! He was leaning onto the walls, with the unstable walk, talking loudy and saying NONSENSE! Kelvin's dad was good enough to drive us home. If i'm sober enough, i remembered he said lots of crap in the car! I roughly could recall what "nice things' he said. LOL. And I think i was laughing away in there. So paiseh lah!
Everything will reveal, when the VIDEO comes!
Btw, I've got a phone from Mum! Don't ask for the price, and how i got it. You don't want to know it, Kok Boon right? HAHAHAH!
PS: I'm quite sorry to the people i spoke to on msn when i got home. I think i'm a bit too high, and I believe i was talking lots of shit, so don't mind ah. :D
Lazy bugs were just all over me, so thats why i didn't update my posts. Many would have seen my uber happy POP pics from my Facebook.
Anyway, I just POP-ed last Wednesday, 10 Dec, a damn significant date for me.
We're all so happy during the parade just as if we've already ORD-ed. LOL.
But I just have to mention that the 24KM route march was indeed a tough challenge for me, and probably most of them. This time, I wore double socks, but it was only able to drag the time for the blisters to form, not able to prevent it. At the 16-20KM, huge blisters was forming on both feets. It was really painful. While walking the last 4KM, I was that close to giving up. Others felt the same as well. Luckily, we endured and encouraged each other.
But during the march, it was fun as well. Pushing each other into the mud pools (not mud puddles) and trousers getting wet all the way till knee levels, and singing stupid songs like Pokemon and Spongebob Square Pants.
Crap done, and let the pictures talk. (Botak pics finally revealed!)
On a side note, whenever i book in, I love the BMT motivating banner with one soldier in No.4, looking in the eyes of one girl, that writes..
It's not what you leave behind. It's what you gain in the days ahead.
Yesterday was my last bookout already. I've cleared my entire cabinet, which makes my bags damn heavy! I had a hard time unpacking them too, whole load of stuffs! Anyway, that was one very special bookout, as I've experienced a bit of reluctance, in some way or another.
I remembered me whining away about NS then, but now at a blink of an eye, 3 months has passed so damn quickly. During this period of time, I made new friends, learnt, experienced and did new things, had fun and shit times. I'll never forget those days.
These few days were fun. Because of the POP parade rehearsal thingy, i made even more friends. And because i was the water parade IC, people from the other platoons even knows me and my name! I don't even know them lah! Like what my buddy says, I'm a small celebrity now! WAHAHA! And in my coy, including me, there are 3 Shawn Lee(s) around! My buddies kept calling our names, and we didn't which one are they calling!
Just like the day before yesterday, we had a bit of free time. A group of us gathered to tease and made fun of some "under-the-hate-list" people. We sure were daring enough to do all that. And we managed to taupok-ed some others. Haha! It was really fun!
Things that I've always enjoyed doing while in BMT.
- Coming back from breakfast, and witnessing people running back to bunks. And running to the toilets with toilet rolls under their armpits, snatching the pathetic 6 cubicles. The winner could then, *ehem*, "clear" first. Of course, I'm definitely one of them. It's one of the most enjoyable thing you do there, and many agreed to it. :D
- Going to the cookhouse for our meals.
- Gathering in our bunks during our admin/area cleaning time to talkcock, or eating our food away.
- Singing crazily away while playing music with speakers, in our bunks.
- Taupok-ing or blanket-partying some other people. :)
- And doing some other stupid but fun stuffs, be it me or the others.
