what a day

Yo peeps...I was lookin through my blog and was wonderin if i should update since the last time i updated was on monday..Hmmm...

So nothin much had happened today,usual im on off today and tomorrow.Went back to camp yesterday for 16km route march round the live firin area.Climb 6 knolls,almost died at the 4th knoll as im feelin dyherated.The weather was coolin but i dont know what happened to me.I was like walkin in a zig zag manner and havin breathin difficulties.For a moment i though that itz gonna be the end for me.I drank lots of water from the norm.I usually dont drink whenn trainin but yesterday i drank alot till i felt like vomittin.Haha...but oh well, who cares.

3 more days to Brunei,will be flyin with Singapore Airline to and back.SQ 8992 to Brunei on 3rd Dec at 0235hrs and SQ 8991 on 20th Dec 0535hrs from Brunei.I wonder how Brunei will be since itz gonna be my last overseas trainin with the platoon and with the armed forces.I have trained in Taiwan before but well Brunei is much more different from Taiwan.The weather, the people, the culture, the terrain and do's and dont's.I find that theres much more dont's in Brunei compared to Taiwan,plus the journey to Singapore-Brunei base camp is tough.1 and a half hour flight to Brunei follow by a 30 minutes bus ride to the jetty follow by another 2hrs boat ride to a small town then another 45 minutes bus ride to Base camp-Lai Kun Camp.Thatz where thousands of men from all walks of life went through in their National service life.Girls will never understand the tough time we go through there or be it locally till they have gone through.The mosquito,weather,camo cream,shagness,wild life and the number of hills that we have to climb.Itz never gonna be easy.

My objective for this trip will be a relax one.Since i was told to stand-down.I will try to enjoy myself, have a last feel of the life out in the field and as a soldier protectin my country.Time has come for me to go and i should go with a ease mind.I will train my team and section well before handin it over to my understudy.Its not gonna be easy for my troopers,seein the disappointed face when i told them im leavin.Everyone told me to stay but i have my difficulties.Life is gonna be hard for them no one is gonna help them and motivate them.The platoon that i bring up for the past 1 month is goin to fall again.Mentally and physically, im sorry guyz.You will understand someday.

Tomorrow i still dont have any programme..Bored~ Itz either rock climbin or cyclin in Ubin.I have not made up my mind yet.Sigh~ Im gonna enjoy myself for the next few days before i fly.6 more days to officially removin my 'triangle'.

Guys, enjoy your day at work or school..Do till you drop,anyway.....IM ON OFF...haha

cheers

itz drawin nearer

Yo peeps, haha...the usual openin of my blog, my speech..The weekend is over so is my off.What does that means??Brunei is drawin near.Itz drawin nearer every mintue every second.No way to stop the time or delay the trip.Yeah, i like travellin but well travel to relax and not trainin.Damn damn...just so sickenin.Im not lookin forward to it at all.Damn...I need someone to talk to.

8 more days and i can officially removed the triangle plate infront and back of my windscreen.Just imagine how time flies.I have been drivin for a year and my car is gonna celebrate itz 1st year too.Well, thou there are lots of scars on it I promise to look after you with more care after your next servicin which is on Wednesday.Ehmm...im not at all prepared for Brunei, I have yet to packed any of my stuff or make a check on what I have missed.Im just lookin forward to leave the force in March.I just cant take how things are now.Too many conflicts and unsatisfraction within one another.Many people asked me not to leave but well i have made up my mind.Anyway, hey...what the hell am i talkin about this again??Shit

Itz a damn borin day, nothin much to do.No one is free and furthermore the climbin centre is not open on a Monday.So I just wasted some petrol drivin here and there and finally back home to catch some tv programmes.When was the last time i really sat down infront of a television??4 years back??or maybe more.Losin tocuh with lots of stuff and itz time to catch it all back.Today,i suddenly came to think and accept somethings that are happenin around my life.Certain things that i do or certain ways that i think.No one is perfect and no life is meaningless.Because whatever your life turn out to be is control by YOU yourself.Not your friends, teachers, parents or even your boyfriend/girlfriend.Itz not fated but GOD too.Yes, HE created us but he doesnt planned our path but guides us along.I hate people who uses sucide to achieve somethin.Is your life so cheap??Itz time we look at things from a bigger picture and be open minded.When things go bad people starts cursin, but have you thought what causes it or who causes it??Sometimes itz YOU who cause it.No one is perfect and no GOD creation is perfect.There will bound to be some loop hole somewhere.See things at a bigger picture and dont leave everythin to fate.

Guyz, the usual endin...haha...I seem like knowin alot but well it might be full of crap thou..But who cares.Itz my blog, my world i do what i want, i crap what i want...haha

Peace

what a day

Yo peeps...what a day..Itz a Saturday boy.Didnt really do anythin much today rather than drivin around fetchin my mum here and there.

Went out around 10oohrs today for a late breakfast cum lunch.Then went all the way down to Novena to pick grandma from church.Couldnt find her in the first place as she did not pick up the call so poor aunty have to walk around Novena square to look for her.Grandma hearin is gettin worse each day have to sort of like shout before she could hear anythin.

After fetchin her we headed down to Marina Square again.Yes,again.It was like dont know how many times we were there this month.We chilled out at Starbucks while waitin for my cousin Joel.Her parents were out in KL for some stuff.Before leavin we were decidin where to head to next because my car cant take much people so the rest have to travel by public transport.Sigh~ should have drove my dad's car.Well, i think i saw someone familiar.Someone whom I have not seen for quite sometime.Anyway, after which we headed down to HarbourFront for cable car ride.It was just a normal ride thou.After the ride we headed home.

Well,tonight dinner was fine.I was asked to treat everyone but well actually it was for grandma.Ever since i got my first pay I have not treated her to a meal so i treated her at a Nonya resturant.This is the first time after s long that the whole family get to sit down and have a proper meal together.For the past few weeks i was busy with live firin and keep missin dinner with the family.Oh ya, the dinner also include dad's belated birthday treat.Haha..one stone kill two birds.Now im totally beaten but not to the state of lyin down and sleep.Gonna watch some show on tv and soccer match thereafter.

Guys,have a great sunday.Im on off on monday.hahaha

cheers

1 more week

Yo peeps...Im alone at home and itz rainin outside.Itz been rainin everyday and itz pretty cool.1 more week and i will be leavin for Brunei for trainin, returnin 5 days before christmas.The week hasnt been really good or rather things has not been good either.Whatz wrong with me??

Monday, went for close terrain naivgation at Lower Mandai.The weather seems fine but afternoon it started pourin.All wet and carryin heavy load to find checkpoints.Was pretty frastructed because couldnt find the checkpoints.We were at the correct location but the checkpoint wasnt there.Out of 4 checkpoints, my team would only find 2 so we failed the mission.It was indeed shag, have to cross a stream which was flooded till our waist level.Itz not easy.Got back to camp on Tuesday late mornin with sore eyes and flu.It was rainin the whole night and we have to sleep under the rain.

Wednesday didnt do anythin much just some normal stuff.There wasnt much to do either just preparin for our Brunei trip.Time passed quite fast these week plus im on off today.Yesterday i was pretty angry over certain stuff.I scolded my troopers,itz been so long since i became so hot-temper.Givin him confinement and extra duties like nobody business.whatz wrong with me??Im startin to think again.Think about lots of stuff, my manpower officer asked me to submit my resignation quickly so that he could find a replacement for me.Yes, im half-hearted all over again.Itz a harsh decision, but really i cant take it anymore.I donno why.It was all so fun and challengin but well now everything change.What should I do??

I will be submittin the resignation form on Monday it will take sometime for it to approve.Now I have to start thinkin what i wanna achieve.Many factors will come to play..My car,insurances, bills so on and so for.Well, i cant waste anymore time.I have wasted 5 years of my life, something that I regretted but I have my joy and pain.I hope things will just get better.

Guyz, have a great weekend.1 more week and i will be gone.

cheers

Busy week

Yo peeps, im back again after a long week at work.Kinda busy with trainin and stuff lately and there was hardly any time to rest.

So last Saturday and Sunday was involved in Live firing.The Live firin on Saturday didnt went on smoothly because of the bad weather and the last minute change of ops plan.Did only 1 live firin instead of 4.Both days ended like 12 midnight and by the time we wash up and stuff it was like 2am in the mornin and we need to wake up again at 6.So there wasnt enough sleep.Sunday live firing went quite smoothly just that the mosquito is killin us.Monday was IMT trainin at Nee Soon camp, I left once i bring my troopers there as i need to go for recce for live firin again.Wednesday and Thursday was ATP.Advance Trainfire Package.Its a test to judge of shootin skills.I was the ammo IC on wednesday test and lots of paperwork to do.Guess what i have not even completed the summary forms yet.Im just too tired.Thursday i took the test.Didnt really did well although i passed.The practise result was better than the test im so disappointed.No chance to re-shoot again.

After 1 whole week of work finally its the weekend.Been waitin for the weekend to come, been sloggin the whole week to get things done and havin a tired cum sleepy mind.Havnt been home like for 7 days.Haha...well, 1 more week and i will be flyin off to Brunei for trainin.Gonna be there for 3 weeks plus and im gonna be shag all over again.The number of hills that we have to climb.Oh not foregtin Tuesday we went to CMPB for staircase walkin.Climbed 66 storeys in Full Battle Order.That was a challenge.I set a target for my troopers and we made it.Proud of them, seein the way they push themselves to their limits.

2 more weeks for me to send in my resignation, 3 more months for me to become a civilian all over again.After 5 years of service i learnt quite alot and seen quite a number of things.The way how each and every indiviual think and work.Yes, im still havin mixed feelings but well i still have to go.I have no choice.Let it all go down the drain.Thinkin back on the fun trainin i had in my trainee days,instructor days and now a commander days.Its all shag but wonderful memories.The trainee under me, the troopers under me.But think again, the sufferin from mosquito bites all over you, the scoldin and all those physical demandin trainin, i had enough.The job had change me alot, being able to take tough times and love the outdoors.

Guys, treasure every single minute we have to everythin.Certain things that is gone will never come back again.1 mistake you do will always leave a scar behind and no matter how good your performances is, there is no return at all.

cheers.

100th post

Yo peeps, this is officially the 100th post so far.Wow...haha...Hows everyone doin??Life flies isnt it??A week just ended like these so fast.lets see what we have.

It has been a tough week.Its my first week as the acting platoon sgt for the platoon.As usual lots of undone stuff for me to clear.Was rather pissed off as c'mon its not even my fault for not doin it.Monday itself we had urban operation trainin till 2000hrs followed by a 9km route march in camp.Yup, the platoon was rather tired already but still we got to push ourself.Tuesday, nothing much was a 'rest day' for us but wednesday was another tough day.In the afternoon, we had a 10km route march around the few hills that we could find in the live firing area.The weather was hot and the load we were carryin were heavy-20kg, but still im proud of the platoon effort for completin the march.Thursday was another slack day.Bring the men to Nee Soon camp for heart-saver course then nothing much thereafter.Today, we had a company cohesion at Nee Soon camp swimming pool, just to let the guys relax and hav some fun.

Sigh, this saturday and sunday will be burn again as I have to cover safety for the other company live firin.Damn...Next week itself we have another 2 live firing and im in charge of the amunition.Lots of paperwork to do again.Well, on the other hand i received a good news.Im able to leave the army next year march...yeah...Although im startin to feel half-hearted now after doin so much to bring the platoon together and finally able to open up their hearts and im gonna leave.Friends told me that i should just leave but well i dont know.I dont wanna ruin the result of the platoon by leavin it to someone else hand.

Well, i need to consider it again.But well, I know myself at the end of the day i wanna leave.I have been waitin so long for the day to come.I will be strong with my decision.Anyway, im leavin for Brunei on the 3rd Dec for trainin and will be back on the 20th.Follow by a week break and standby for the festive seasons.While you guys are enjoyin outside im freakin doin duty.

Guyz, have a great weekend.I will try to enjoy myself at the live firin tomorrow and on sunday.

cheers

divin was fun

Yo peeps.Howz the weekend goin??Okay, herez an update on the event yesterday.'Save our sea 2006' at Pulau Hantu.

The weather was fine, which was a good sign.Thou the visibility was about 1m but well thats what you get at Pulau Hantu.Met up with the rest of the group at West Coast Pier.Took me quite sometime to find the place because I havnt been to that place before.We used to set off from harbourfront.Anyway, there was 3 boats altogether as theres quite a number of us.My boat got the least people plus its a well maintain boat.Haha..By the time we got to Hantu, the Naval Divin Unit(NDU) was there already, settin up their equipment and stuff.There were reporter from channel news asia too.=)

The event started about 1030hrs.My dive leader Terance gave us a brief and there we go.One by one jumpin into the sea.We descend to about 12.5m was targettin to descend about 6 or 7m but we went beyond.Comb around the area for 50 minutes and up we came.The current below was pretty strong and we keep driftin far apart.Furthermore the visibility wasnt really good and we are havin a hard time to keep together.it wasnt easy, we got spilt up quite a number of time.

The whole event ended around 1300hrs had lunch clean up and some chat.When we are about to leave, the boat couldnt start.We tried fixin it but well to no avail so we got another boat to bring us back.Reach mainland at about 1545hrs.Didnt went for the reception because have to pick mum up from Gentin when they get back.So reached home do the laudry and I fall dead into my dreamland.

It was a wonderful experinces that i have gone through.Itz pretty fun and enrichin havin to learnt from senior divers.Im lookin forward to next year 'Save our Sea' programme.Although itz just a short period of time spent but it was wonderful.Nice weather, nice wave and the island itz peaceful and quiet too.

Guyz, c'mon try divin u will love it..

Cheers

Yo peeps.Im here again at the end of the week.Free from work.Been workin day in day out.Mornin till the night, busy with lots of stuff and here it goes.

Last sunday i was workin.Attach to Bravo company for Platoon Live Firin as safety specialist.The whole thingy ended around 12 midnight by the time we reached camp and tuck into bed was almost 0130hrs and wake up time the next day was like 0600hrs.No extra rest or whatsoever plus there isnt enough commander in my platoon.So monday mornin we had staircase walkin for about 1hr plus carryin a load of 20kg.This is to prepare us for our Brunei trainin where we need to cross several hills.Same goes for Tuesday and Wednesday.Basically trainin programme was like route marches and staircase walkin for a few hours everyday.Now my back is killin me, freakin achin.

Well, with effect from Monday onwards i will be the standin in or rather actin Platoon sgt for the platoon.The actual man for the job is goin to Australia for Live Firin plus 4 of my gunners.I will be coverin him for about 2 months till we return from Brunei.Sigh~Busy.Still no news about my contract yet, damn itz takin too long already.Just so sick with the freakin system.Anyway, last Friday commanders from my batch was promoted except for me.Now they are 1 rank higher than me.Is it a good thing??I donno.Come Jan my junior will be be promoted too and im still stuck.Sigh~

I felt like a king now.Alone at home with no one distubin me.Havin the whole house by myself.Heehee...I suddenly thought of a song.25 minutes by Micheal learns to rock.I guess thats my feelin right now or rather thats what i wanna say to somebody.
