Whew I'm back after the first 2 weeks on tekong. I think very few people can say that they like army life. It's just bloody tiring because for 15 hours a day you are always doing some activity or exercise. And 7 hours of sleep just isn't enough to make up for it so the tiredness kind of snowballs. Bah everyday when you wake up you just want to say fuck. It doesn't help that you fall sick. 31 out of 49 people in my platoon had tekong cough lol. Towards the end I had tekong cough, a clogged nose and rashes so that was mighty unpleasant indeed.

Hmm what else can I say. There is very little freedom in there and a lot of mental reprogramming. Most of what you do is dictated by army standards or rules and you just feel a bit robotic because a lot of instructions and stuff have already been imprinted in your head so you go through the motion. Yeah you don't really think and stuff.

But then again it could be a lot worse. My platoon has reasonably nice sergeants (not so many pushups yet) and my section mates are really nice people. Damn vulgar though. Everything we say is vulgar. Cheebye this cheebye that fuck this fuck that. hahaha its like when the lights out someone will just shout around the bunk FUCK YOU. After you use it so much it just gets funny. Like during area inspection when we're at senang diri my buddy just randomly turned to me and whispered fuck you. Damn guailan and crass but hilarious in the context.

Anyway my platoon is moving ahead with all the big things. We've already had our firing test with live rounds and everything. Dammit man guns are totally overglamourized in hollywood. You don't see rambo or terminator cleaning their barrels for 1 hour with small pieces of oily cloth. For some guns are great they are like one's "wife". I personally find it a liability. So much risk..so many rifle parts you can lose. And you lose a part and you are fucked. Anyway firing with live rounds is kind of exhilarating and scary at the same time.

Yep we have also done 4 km and 6 km marches. Oh yeah my company is also going to field camp on tuesday. It's very rare for that to happen to a january batch platoon before CNY. Yep so 6 days without a bath and no coming back the next weekend. Am I worried? Yes I am. Especially about my eczema. Slacks are killing me. On friday we had to roll around on the ground and dirt got into my pants. That night at home I had my worse urticaria attack in 3 or 4 years. My entire right thigh was engulfed in hives and I had massive itching and rashes under my knees, on my thighs and on my arms. What the fuckkk. I went to see my dermatologist today to get endorsement for rash cream and shit and she said it was pretty bad and if I didn't take care of it it could get infected in the jungle. Zz thanks NS. If my skin fucks up and I get gangrene or something pls tell my mum I love her. By the way one of the days of the week we heard a chopper landing on tekong. Apparently one guy proned and his balls fell on a stump so GGXX. Hmmph hope that doesn't happen to me.

Anyway in the army its difficult to keep up with the outside world. I've been trying to catch up a bit. I know:

• Heath Ledger died wth
  
• Global markets collapsed amid fears of US recession then rebounded after IR cut
  
• Djokovic beat Federer, Tsonga beat Nadal, Sharapova beat Henin at Aussie Open
• Cloverfield and Rambo 4 have been released
• Inter won 3-2, 3-0, 3-2 and drew 2-2 with Juve

Ah and in random news my mum got herself some botox treatment. Damn cheapskate sia. So basically dentists use botox in treatments too to treat people with square jaws and make their skin look tighter. There was leftover so my mum got her colleague to inject for her -.-. Ok lah 10 outta 10 for frugality but 25 out of 10 for cheapskatility. She wuz like do you notice? do you notice? And I was like notice what? She was like -_________________________- you're just like your papa. So only after some close inspection I was like dannng you're right your forehead IS tighter. Zz vanity ftw.

Hey check out this really nice song. Love Song by Sara Bareilles. It's been burning up the charts in the US recently. I've heard a quieter version of it and thats nice too.




Yeah and here is another song with the same title. Love Song by 311. It's a cover of The Cure, and I love this song. It has this romantic, chillout vibe to it.




And you must check out this link to the 27 most hilarious album covers ever. Some are just so freaking funny. And you should also watch Bill Gates self-parody of his last day at work. It's terrific that he can laugh at himself.

Yeah actually I just came back from the clinic. My mum did some scaling and polishing for me. I for one am totally aware that my teeth look like turd so my mum tried to take out some of the coffee stains. So I don't look quite like a smoker now. Mmm self-confidence + 3.

Woah dude thats actually quite freaky, moreso because it was subconscious. You take care and avoid being mind-controlled again plx. I don't do a lot of weird things when I'm asleep but I know that my later secondary school years I had this period where it was damn near impossible to wake me up from a night nap. I would always be stuck in this stupour somewhere between the conscious and subconscious and I would just unconsciously push people away while being fully aware of what I was doing (though helpless to stop it). How do I put it...kind of like trying to suppress a reflex action. I remember once I got up, pushed and shoved my mum till she was out of the door. The next day she was really pissed with me and I was like sorrie ma I just can't help it.

Anyway I got my nerd ns glasses yesterday. I've been wearing them to get used to them and they really do make you more self-conscious. I get a little paranoid of people staring at me. Like this old fart on the treadmill was almost peering into my face for 3 minutes while I was running. If that was not disconcerting enough, he then farted. I was cursing so bad in my head. Anyway I think what has really helped me with my running has been listening to music. It definitely helps to distract you from your own body. Sometimes the lyrics are really apt. I remember towards the end of my run Harder to Breathe by M5 started playing and it got me really pumped. Hmm I hope that without the music I can still run as fast and far.

Well my thoughts are really all over the place because I'm kind of in a daze. Oh yeah on days that I sleep really late (like have matches) I've actually had to balls to KO at the club in the morning. I'll go to these sofas outside that are meant for smoking areas (no smokers in the morn) and I'll just sleep for 2 hours. I probably look like a hobo actually but it doesn't bother me :)

And actually I've been spending my past 2 days watching the korean serial coffee prince online. Mm its quite nice and the lead female can seriously cry me a river. K off to watch match.

Apparently on my 39.9 fever night, i did the following things. The trouble is that i have NO MEMORY of having done them at all, like i sleepwalked or was mindcontrolled or possessed or something.

1) Got out of bed
2) Took my shirt off
3) Went to toilet
4) Pissed
5) THREW MY SHIRT INTO THE TOILET BOWL
6) Flushed
7) Walked back to bed and lay down

I woke up without my shirt on with my mum handing me a new shirt saying what the hell you take ur shirt off for u need it on wear this now. and im like WTF HUH? WHO TOOK MY SHIRT OFF, and she was like are you crazy YOU DID. Then i was like HUH!?!?! WHATEVER and i put on the new shirt, and i got up went to the toilet pissed INTO THE TOILET BOWL WITH MY OLD SHIRT thinking it was just alot of tissue paper and flushed causing things to jam. and my mum was like BBQWTFOMGROFL are you doing im like ?_? I DONT KNOW. Then she told me everything and i was like wow fever > me.

Hahaha thats really cool peck (and everyone else) im glad you all had so much fun! I know all you readers would rather see pecks happy post up top but i shall explain why im still at home when i should have booked in last night. Got hit with roflmao throat infection and my fever reached all time high of 39.9 last night! woo first time in my life i am HAAAAAAWT. anyway my mum helped me put ice packs all over me body (thanks) so now am a little better. Got about 7 medicines to take ew my tongue died. Apparently half my section is down with the same thing ohwell maybe zulu company epidemic. At least no more breathlessness so no sudden asthma scare anymore. Thank God for God and parents and whoever. Alright no more boring shit from me bye bye play hard peck play hard.

Ah yes!

Happy Birthday Nyx!!!

Happy Birthday Cher!!!

Bye~

Hello I went for the surprise party for cher at smoods house yesterday. It was pretty fun, even amid the rain. The kiddie theme was also quite fresh actually. We had a waterbomb fight which involved drowning cher in an avalanche of missles. And man some of those plastic bags don't burst so easily. After that we had like 2 teas. 1st one involved our goodie bags and like this godlike cake. It's like all my life I've been searching for cakes that have the godlike crispy wafer in them. It's like my holy grail of caekes. Mmmm crunch crunch yum oh mama. 

Yeah after that because of the rain we were playing charades. And then TEA NUMBER 2. Smoods mum made some godlike mash potato with ham and cheeze which was nice but really filling. I only had about 2 helpings. I think xy had about 5 or something. Yeah he likes potato. And like adidi brought those small rainbow biscuit things with the solidified sugar on top which so fitted with the kiddie theme. I loved those when I was young (still do). Yeah the rain was quite a bummer but we all went back to smoods house to change up after that which was a nice intermission. Then DC and Boppana came from wadever council thingy and we had an obstacle course race. We had to read out some lolwth messages I think mine had nani nani poo poo something something.  And if I might proudly add I think my team won because I sabotaged DC's task of picking up a toothpick from the soil. I took his and threw it somewhere. Muahahah. MUAHAHAHA 

Yeah we then played pass teh parcel. This parcel must have had the most layers I've ever seen. OH HO some of the tasks were off the hook but I don't know if I can say it here. I had to do the waltz with bren, go down on bended knee to flatter cher for one minute (I is sweettalker the woman wuz floored), and be subject to someone kissing my arm (looked like werewolf bite). Yeah I think DC and Martin probably came off the worse. You can ask them if you want. I'm not saying.  

Dinner was good. Mmm dinner. Smoods mum like fried about 20 chickens in 3 different ways and had these godlike wantans. My freaking gosh the wantans were....were...godlike! There's no superlative better than that is there. They were so nice and crispy and the prawn filling was good too. And teh popcorn chicken was lovely. It's like dem things were alive in my mouth still popping. Yeah we finished pass the parcel after that and then played PINATA. I've never played with one in my life and its really great fun for the group. I think Boppana broke the stick instead of the pinata -_-. Yeah then I think martin broke its ass (literally) and we all had sweets after that. Cher took home the broken horsey but I think its a gonner. I wouldn't want to live if I had a broken ass.

Yeah it was great fun. And I saw smoods whole family playing wii in one room and damn that was so cool. I would do a lot of things just to get my family to game or have these kinds of interactive sessions that stray from the boring ol family dinners. It's just that my mum is not open to this kinda thing. She always says her hand-eye coordination is bad, which is true, but still the wii isn't about mastering a game, it's about everyone trying and screwing up and laughing and having fun. Yeah if you're lucky you'll master it. That's an added bonus. I'm almost certain if I get a fishing game on the wii for my dad he'll be hooked (haha Im funny) because the wii is perfectly made for fishing games. Or even time crisis (my dad likes that too). My mum maybe I'll get her mahjong or the cooking thing smood talked about. I mean if 80 year old grandmas can bowl a strike on wii bowling I'm quite sure my noob mum can cook a plate of fried rice with the wiimote. It's all about being receptive to new media.

Anyway today I went to pick up some gaylord tights on martins recommendation to prevent groin abrasion. And in the shop I saw Inter's new centenary shirt. OMg had to buy. 110 bucks but its ok because inter shirts are really hard to find in singapore. Even queensway. This one didn't have a name behind but by the end of the year I want to buy the ibrahimovic one from queensway. But thats like 11 letters so the price should blow me away. 

 

   

 

ARmy bout to claim its casualty!!! Woke up at 4.3o am this morning feeling breathless and dizzy couldnt walk properly lal. Im still a little woozy now but much better. I was half afraid that id get a sudden heart attk or lung explosion or chest concavation (i say inventing a new word) or heat stroke or smth. My sister sez its cuz i lack enough salts in me body (after all the training and whatnot) so i took 2 cans of 100 plus :D. My whole body is in tremendous pain ie my ribs hurt when i cough lightly LOL. But ah well gotta get used to it. WOrd of advice to survive in armee:

There are 3 things you need to keep in mind to keep yourself going:
1) For the religious, God obviously
2) The next book out day/time
3) For the despairing and for mondays, something else you want to do this for. ie trying to not look as ugly as you are right now, to impress someone, to see how much you can take before dying etcetc.

I find it highly useful to replay these things in my mind over and over again when my face is pressed against the burning midday cement floor, or when im about to pook after the 8th sprinting interval. Once youve found yourself a reason to hold on too training doesnt seem so bad after all! Peck plz get downgraded or medical reviewed again and again until you are becuz your skin might rot right off you. :D

Hello I was just looking at char's blog and her post about love languages. The concept has been at the back of my mind for quite some time (as in I heard of it before). Basically this dude believes that we define and express love in 5 different ways. There's quality time, words of affirmation, acts of service, gifts and physical touch. Yeah I took the quiz and the results are below.

The Five Love Languages

My primary love language is probably
Quality Time
with a secondary love language being
Words of Affirmation.

Complete set of results

Quality Time:		9
Words of Affirmation:		8
Acts of Service:		7
Receiving Gifts:		3
Physical Touch:		2

Well I'm quite sure there are inaccuracies. After all I'm not in a sexual relationship and so I wouldn't know if physical touch is really my forte yet :]. Some of the questions in the quiz aren't too easy to answer either. Like preferring to celebrate my birthday with meaningful words or a gift. I mean if the gift is like a new com then DUH gift plox. Anyway I think the results are largely accurate, but I don't think they work both ways. Like just coz I prefer to do acts of service to express love doesn't necessarily mean I am as receptive to that kind of love.

Anyway I was interested in this love language thing because my parents tend to express love in different ways to me. For example my dad is an extreme old-school kind of dad, with an insane imbalance when it comes to acts of service and gifts. Like going according to the list he'd probably score 1,2,99,60,0. My mum is definitely more balanced, with a mixture of everything. I think that's why I tend to gravitate towards her more coz I like to have convos, I like to joke and shit.

Yeah so actually my last post was on new year's eve and I forgot to herald in the new year. So Happy New Year! It's like city harvest was like celebrating the new year with a feel-good message about how we are going to progress, step up to the next level etc. NS boys must surely be the exception then pastor. Bummer. Anyway a lot of people have been reflecting on life in 2007. I thought it was a shitty year actually. Friendships were definitely the bright spark but I thought it was on a whole frustrating and depressing.

A lot of people have been reflecting on JC life as well. I still maintain that secondary school was my "golden era" in schooling life. It was there that I made many close friends, there was little pretentiousness (most of it came from certain teachers methinks) and I felt completely at ease to speak my mind. You could say it was perhaps more uncomplicated and that is also true. But there were so many instances where I really savoured the moments and shared experiences with my friends. Like damn this friendship rocks because we're copying the same chinese zuo ye from exactly the same person in exactly the same vein of desperation at 730am in the morning.

I think I made many great friends in JC too. I never thought I'd get to know lip so well OR ANNLIANG O M G. Or even teh girls. But I think the stress, the jadedness just overshadowed a lot of this good stuff. Like what the fuck happened to PE man. Became a NAPFA whorehouse -_-. Also JC was definitely filled with more long-standing strife, uncertainty and caution. So yeah 06/07 were years of gloomy shit punctuated with bright spots but 02-05 were years of brightness punctuated with few dark spots. Mmm damn I'm deep.
