BIG IN JAPAN

This week is soooooo packed with activities. And I even get to book out on Friday early afternoon because of off-in-lieu planned for us.

Just a slight touch on the route march on Tuesday. It was called 'Pride of The Infantry March'. Indeed pride for such a tough route. But it wasn't as terrible as the 28km I had 1 month ago. During the march, the route never seemed to end, all you can do is just to keep walking.

This time I did lots of preparations. Had double boots insoles and even wore swimming trucks/tights. This could very much reduce blisters and abrasions, but not totally prevent it from forming. My feet didn't had much blisters for once since the many route marches i walked! Double insoles felt so cushioned like running shoes, and it's OWNING! :D

The river crossing part was actually quite shiok, but once you leave the river and continue walking... Eeeeeeeek and yuckssssssssss. But overall, I'm very happy this week!

----------------------------------------------

Yesterday went out to change my passport to the new one, since they say the old one couldn't be further extended. The queue was soooo damn long.

After that, went out with Shaoqi and Leeleng. Headed to the IT show at Suntec. It's really sooooo packed with people lah!! Had many things in mind to buy, but I just need the dough. Kokboon and Weili joined us later after work. Weili went home later while the rest of us watched Dragonball Evolution. It was not too bad, but I felt that the scenes happened a little too abrupt. Last but not least, Jamie Chung and Emmy Rossum are way too hot in the movie, don't they?! Haha!






Btw, Jamie do look abit like Lucy Liu huh? And Emmy abit like Anne Hathaway? Whatcha think?

Best week I had! Will even be happier if the photos be processed by next week! :)

Limping back, but still alive.

First of all, Happy Valentines' Day to all!

I'm listening to Love 101. It an awesome album! Anyway, I had my V'day with poly friends Roy, Melissa, Hannah and Aisha hanging around Marina Square, just walking aimlessly. We didn't hang out for very long, but it was good enough meeting up with them! Didn't meet them for almost 1 year already!

The 28km route march wasn't that easy as i've thought! Started ard 10.30pm and ended at 5.45am. It wasn't tiring at all, but damn freaking painful. I almost died at the last 6km at the NTU route. NTU students will know there's a freaking steep slope there. I didn't know how did i tahan-ed the 28km with lots and lots of blisters on my feet.

Anyway, it's all over. But i'm still back into that same old camp! Continueing my journey in ASLC (Advanced Section Leader Course) still in Charlie coy after completing the basic one. I bet it's gonna be even toughter! Seeing most of my friends leave to other units yesterday made me feel a bit of sadness. Familiar faces are still there.

Reflections/Thoughts
During my days in BSLC, i knew i changed alot. Becoming more and more short-tempered. And even witnessed people with many personalities in many situations. Selfishness the most i've seen. But still, I still know who the good friends are.

Meals time are still my favourite. I can say that my cookhouse is the best! I've enjoyed the food throughout my whole course. The cookhouse aunty is fun loving and pretty too. HAHA.

For myself, I've learnt many things. Many leadership and management skills. Knowledge and many others. Last but not least, to be nice but yet be smart.

And here's a few pictures when we went Zouk.

Awkward silence.

Had supper with Bryan and Chun Hong at Rochor Beancurd. Anyway, I've just back home today. I have not slept in bunk for quite a long time already. Thinking of it, I've actually been in outfield/fieldcamp for almost 3 consecutive weeks. Lost about 3-4 kgs. Everday sleeping average for only 4-5 hours. I'm seriously worn-out. And that's probably the reason why I don't have any mood for any occasions now.

Lost count of time, and suddenly CNY pops up. I have not even bought new clothings yet. Great.


Army aside.

Recently, I've been thinking, wondering, pondering. It seems that I don't know everything about some of the so-called best friends, good friends or buddies of mine that I've known for years. Some of them decide not to reveal, and I have to hear it from somebody else, or sometimes, be the last to know. As a supposedly close friend, I'm unaware about that. To me, it's quite disheartening.

I guess I'm probably too much a blabber mouth, a happy-go-lucky person or just simply f-up, so much so that they think I'm not able to safe-guard their secrets or personal issues. But of course, it still goes down to individual on whether you're willing to share. Sure enough, I'm not blaming anyone for this, as I know everyone will definitely have a piece of their secret garden.

I had a sudden rush of emotions when i first heard it, so decided to express my thoughts. Nothing serious, actually. Really. :)

welcome to the 11 club.

Yeah, it has been a not-enough-sleep-everyday week, with like about 5 hours per day. My face looked damn worn-out. The whole week has been filled up with tiring outfields and activities almost everyday, ended up dozing off at most of the lectures. Everywhere i go, i sleep. This aside.

Two things worth mentioning.

First, my IPPT! I'm a tiny bit more to getting that freaking silver. 2 more chinups. Thinking back, i've really improved tremendously since BMT where i did real badly. Im now at least running (almost died) in the 11 mins range (my first time!), and jumping at least 230cm, and some other improvements.

I know it's no big deal, many others could easily do it, and be better. But it's a big deal for me and it's more like a personal achievement for me myself. And i'm proud about that. Currently, I'm already contented but I'll definitely try harder to get my first silver award! I don't remember getting any before, or maybe i did when i was slimmer in primary school. Sad.

Next up! I finally got my first specialist pay. Scared the shit out of me man! But its good! I'll definitely stay in this course for the sake of the pay! WAHAHAHA!


Taken on Christmas Day with the whole load of them, with Tricia's polaroid. We had our lunch at some restaurant intro-ed by Caleen.

With pride, we lead?

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

GG-ed.

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.)

keep walking.

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!

Yawnssssss!

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.

1. Met up with Jinyi to visit our ex-colleagues at SGH. I think they're quite happy to see me and my botak head.
2. Then went off to Great World City, to finally use up our Ben & Jerry's voucher given to us, when we were working. Mine's damn nice, waffle with double scooped icecream. Heavenly.
3. Went home, slacked awhile before heading to have a mini platoon outing.
4. Met up with them at Cine to have our dinner at Pastamania. And for the whole of yesterday, we just walked around Orchard aimlessly.
5. Walked to Wisma. I bought a cheap fedora/trilby hat at CottonOn. Hah!
6. Then to Taka. Shopped around. Some left, some joined after a while.
7. Walked back to Cine. Hanged out at arcade, still deciding what to do. Decided to play pool.
8. Then I saw Jasmine from Bowen Sec/TP. I think she's grown prettier lah. She approached me first, i didn't knew she was beside me! She's was so happy! Actually i am too, cuz we didn't have a chance to meet in TP, so considered many years never see her already!
9. Walked all the way to have Selegie Beancurd. Everyone was sweating, as it was a warm night. Everything was damn shiok, especially the youtiao! I swear i'm going back again! :)
10. One of them wanted to clear bowels, but he said his butt wanted to settle it somewhere more highclass. That time was also nearing midnight, so most toilets are closed. And so, because of that, we walked to all the way to Raffles City to settle his business. And the toilet isn't that great lah.
11. Then we walked to Esplanade. Sat down talked cock for some time. All kinds of things! :P
12. Walked to Clarke Quay, visited ex-MOS which was closed down. Now it's called Zirca.
13. Bought Mac, and sat down on the bridge to talk cock again. And also looking at girls crossing the bridge and along the way. And definitely not forgetting those drunk ones. :)
14. My Serangoon buddy buay tahan liao, so we took a cab home at around 3.30am. The rest of them are still there when we left.

And so for the whole night, was just walking around the streets of Singapore. Bye.

PS: Good luck for my posting tomorrow! :D

Empty

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.

POP LOH!

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.

Yankee Boleh!




Mum and me.

Old and Young Lee.


I quite like this pic.



A couple of buddies.

Platoon 3, Section 4. Best of all.


My buddy!

Us with Jasper and Rayson.




Too much fun for the group photos!

POP LOH!



Me and Mummy.

Sifen, Simon, Wilson, Liquan, Me and Wee Lye.

All the 2LTs. Thanks 2LT Sunny for not confining me! LOL!

2LT Ali. The person who talk lots of sense and inspired me the most.

Afterthoughts:
These 3 months in army has made me learnt and seen alot.

Who are the nice people, who are the fucked up ones.
Who revealed their true colours in worse times, who didn't.
Who really helped you out when in need, who just stood there with folded arms looking.
You'll just meet all kinds of people in there.

Fortunately, the final bunch of buddies I have are the good ones! Great to have known them and whole of Platoon 3 04/08! :D

PS: Last but not least, I really really really (can't emphasize any further) gotta thank Mum and Dad every week for like washing up my army clothes (other than the rest in the washing machine), etc. Especially my field camp week, with muddy clothing brought home.

THANKS FRIENDS & FAMILIES FOR ENCOURAGING ME ALL THESE WHILE! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! :D

Finale.

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.

Yesterday was our school's Games Day 08'. Sun was scorching, and i'm even darker now. Well, that's not really the main point. The main point is that i'm really happy to have a mini Vistarian Gathering there! Gathered/saw Benjamin, Bryan, Aaron, Junlong, Shaoqi, Desmond and George there from all different coys. Even watched a soccer match with Jason. Was really fun yesterday.

Coming back, my days in BMT was great. Things that's gonna be missed with definitely be the friends/buddies who have went through with me. And not forgetting all those fun/shit we've experienced during the good and bad times. It has to come to an end when I'm in the process of bonding up with the others. All the buddies..

My buddy.
Bed buddy.
Sections buddies.
Training buddy.
Suckcock buddies.
Talkcock buddies.
Singsong buddies.
Dance buddies.
Sleep buddies.
Eat-snake buddies.
PSP buddies.
Eating buddies.
Bookout buddies.
etc..

Shit. Feeling emo liao lah! :)

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?

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! :)

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! :)

bad week.

I just came back from a usual weekend meetup with the guys. We watched Eagle Eye. Was a rather interesting movie, with many incredible events that happened. But the middle part was rather dull, i almost fell asleep.

Yesterday, went bowling with Bryan at his country club. My skills really suck now! I'm quite disappointed lah! Then went to Chomp Chomp to have some (unhealthy but) tasty supper together with Jiamin and Chunhong.

Speaking of the week that passed, it really sucked. Nothing was going smoothly. I know i complain alot every book out, but seriously, there's nothing good to comment about! Last sunday that i booked in wasn't even a good day to start with! I had sore throat and flu! It got better, until it started to worsen during the week and finally worst until i had the plate of Carrot Cake at Chomp Chomp that night. Within the week, there's lots of shitty stuffs to handle and do. On friday, i did almost 140-160 times. Arms almost cui-ed, but i'm still alive and kicking. That was seriously an freaking unlucky day. In all, this week sucked.

Oh ya, Tuesday (7th) was Beatrice's and Valerie's 20th birthday. I texted them birthday wishes that night. Valerie's reply was funny. I first wished her "Happy Birthday" and asked her if she'd still remember me, as this primary school friend of mine might have forgotten me since. She's one of my best female friend in school! Then she replied, "... of course i do, that naughty boy in class haha...". When was i a naughty boy man?! I'm a nerd, i'm a good boy! But I was happy that she's touched by this gesture of mine.

I shouldn't have stumbled upon her pictures. So disappointing.

It's sad, so sad. It's a sad sad situtation.

I just reached home not long ago. Today is really damn damn damn suay. I can only say i'm really tired and worn, after doing all those shit, and getting all those shit. Endure.

Speaking of my before-book in day with Kelvin, Leeleng, Felix, Tong Kiat, Weili and Shaoqi, it was sure fun. We first had our usual uber filling buffet at Suki Sushi, while talk-cocking. Main dish would definitely be salmon sashimi, i just don't want to mention how many plates we ordered. Then we later went to played BattleField 2. It was most of our first times playing it, the game was good and was very enjoyable before my book in time.

Well, the main thing i wanted to say here is that i'm really shocked, damn freaking shocked. Most of them would have read the papers about the NSF who died a couple of days ago.

When i read the papers the other day, i stared hard at the photo. Being very engrossed, i read the article word for word. It took me quite a moment before i confirmed he was the one. The stupefied me stood there pondering. He was my primary school friend, in the same class. Thou he wasn't my very very close friend, or someone i've contacted all these while, but who would want anyone they knows to be in such a article? No one would. Damn.

It's really such an unfortunate event that happened. Friends, take care of yourselves, please.

R.I.P, Weirong.

shiok.

Today i finally experienced the life of a civilian after 2 weeks of hell. Was so shiok that i'm quite reluctant to say goodbye to it, and book in tomorrow evening. Friends think that i'm so army-enthu, but the fact is that i'm not, as there are many things i can't say. I'll say i'm just army-neutral at the moment.

Started the day with a impromptu visit to the army market at Beach Road with my 2 bed/bunk buddies, Eric and Li Quan. Met many many familiar faces there as well, was so damn coincidental. Was a pity i didn't get what i really wanted. We went off later, i went home.

Nearing 8PM, I went off to Serangoon Gardens to meet up with Weili, Caleen and Tricia for dinner. We wanted Chomp Chomp initially, but decided to have Cafe Cartel instead. Sat down talking cock for a couple of hours while waiting for the heavy rain to stop. When the rain has finally settled down, Caleen suggested we have beancurd at Chomp Chomp.

Usually, the activities done today for Shawn Lee would be considered as "boring". But now for Recruit Lee, it'll be considered as "so happening". Cherish is the word.

Not forgetting to wish Kokboon,
HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY!
Wanted to ask you along for the Chomp Chomp dinner to celebrate at midnight one, but so sorry i didn't pick up the call! Paiseh! To repay you, i let you play with my PSP for a few more days bah! Haha! :)

Anyway, hope that everything goes smoothly, and that your ORD draws nearer! Sian! But its okay, that also means that im POP-ing soon!

monday blues

Exactly how i felt.

Was a boring day at home, with a sudden heavy downpour in the afternoon. I had the initial intentions to make a trip to Beach Road to get items that I've lost during my confinement week. Just like how i lost my water bottle on just the 2nd day of enlistment, and worse of all, i'm the water parade IC for my platoon. Imagine the IC infront, holding on to a mineral water bottle and the rest, holding on to the army one. And thats not the only item lost, alright? I just wished i could be less clumsy and forgetful.

I think the 2 weeks in army do make me change a teeny-weeny bit. Other than being tanned, having some zits on my face, having muscles aches, bruises and blisters all over, I think i'm more or less accustomed to the practices in army.

Even thou there is a water heater here, i still bath with cold water. I couldn't sleep last night, bet I've already gotten used to the bugs-infested bed. I think i woke up around 5 plus, guess i'm expecting 5bx at 0545, and probably lights-out at 2230 after RO? Shit.
