I blah blah blah...wadever...With my Life!

Few days after the phuket trip, it finally dawned on me tat well.. i m out of army.. haha.. gone!
somehow when u r on holiday u tend to not tink abt such things...

but anyway i m happy.. happy to leave the Service.. but i must say i seem alittle lost ar.. haha afterall after 'acting busy' for so long, i finally found myself wit quite a bit of time on my hands.. n at last this time is mine n not controlled by some other higher beings.. nor am i at the mercy of LKY/LSL/GCT when they feel like taking a piss outside their hse

haha dun sue me pls.. =P

yar but i guess the Army did give me a bit of structure in life.. since theres always something to do, some conflict to resolve, some crisis to avert n some misdeed to cover up.. haha...........

******

Army for me started 2 days after my Prom Nite.. haha..2 fucking days!. yes it was on the day 8th Dec 2006, prom was on 6th Dec 2006.. why was my enlistment so early.. well for those whu dun know (n i tink i hav repeated myself alot of times liao).. due to the efficency of the army.. i was drafted into the obese company.. yup on grounds tat my BMI was too high.. duh!

anyway... admist all the vibration of lips n mayb flamming ones.. i entered the Service a wk earlier b4 anyone of my batch actually entered army.. hhaa gosh josh!... felt very saggish on the enlistment day, i was there when my bro enlisted so i knew wad to expect but well it was diff when u r the one enlisting..

i cant imagine anyone will b excited to enlist.. but oh well.

so after doing everything.. all the stuff n the swearing of my pathetic life form to the grand armee of spore.. i tink we had lunch, saw my first form of army wayang n then b4 long it was gd bye to mummy dearest at the SAF Tekong jetty ferry terminal.. n boy felt extremely fuck typed at tat moment.. haha.. n as usual mummy was tearing up n abt to cry.. n well tat brought a break in my heart.. seriously.. cruel government!.. haha..

anyway decided to leave fast.. so as to end the torment.. n well like i always think 'just get it over n done wit'.. so zoom zoom off.. leaving mummy there.. n puff! into the world of army i go.. i rmber my first PS at the obese Dragon coy was a malay, nvr did rmber his name but i rmber he was very bitchy.. strict but seem nice in a bitchy way.. it was there when i met PY's student council fren, Alfred, i tink.. dam nice guy lah.. haha .. n it was nice to see a familiar face..

so the first nite was spent shifting around.. turn out this shifting was not uncommon as the 'D' coy CSM said tat some of us grow smaller while some larger.. hence the shifting.. it was at tat time that i knew tat obese has its diff grades, 'A' Coy for Mild, 'D' Coy for Moderate and 'E' for Seriously... in any case i was one of those whu r deem smaller so i was shifted to Alpha coy. Alfred stayed in Dragon if i m not wrong so i lost a fren just like tat.. haha...

at 'A' coy, we were assured tat there wil not b anymore transfers so sagging our way to our bunks, we started to unpack.. in my bunk, i met Cedric, a TJC guy.. abit weird but funny nonetheless.. haha.. i seriously cant rmber much of wad happened in 'A' coy coz i din spent much time there... coz soon after we started arranging our lockers.. a call from the PA system called some ppl n me included..

at tat pt of time, i was wondering wtf was i being called upon

in the end, we received information tat we r due to a medical review... n well to b up-pesed from pes BP(fat) to the normal pes B.. honestly i felt happy .. haha coz tat means i m no longer considered as obese.. haha.. but then tats means i hav to pack everything again.. so pack pack pack.. said gdbye to cedric whu i actually started to like as a fren (in my later army life, i wld see him again)..

n then it was sagging around doing nothing while waiting for the medical review, when we finally got the results.. we were given off-in-lieu since the pes B ppl were enlisting later.. so we had like 3 days of free days.. haha aint tat great?

anyway the 3 days passed quickly.. n it feels weird anyway...

but soon it was back to the army.. n into Pegasus Company... where i wld spent the rest of my recruit life there... time spent there passed more quickly than i tot, almost like a blur .. haha

there was live range when i got to fire a M16, where i almost got coy best shot but missed out by one shot. lolz!.. n of course there was field camp n SIT test whereby my lips vibrated n my body rotted. it was during such outfield stuff tat i realised tat i doubt i wil survive in a forest environment.. haha.. i say now tat i really hated outfield.. n hope wit all my heart tat i wil land in an urban ops unit.. i mean rewearing the muddy uniform n having to wear that irritating helmet... n the bugs.. omg!.. cant stand it!!!!!

anyway.. i guess becoz of such thinking i kinda sucked quite badly in army.. lolz.. afterall most of time i felt quite saggish n was more than happy to let someone else take the lead.. n yes sometimes mother nature just takes it out of me.. sigh.. in addition to tat, i nvr did hav the heart to improve my ippt.. haha.. in the end of bmt, i still cld not do a single pull-up.. n the only thing i really excelled in was running.. but well u cant pass on tat alone.. suffice to say, in the end i failed my ippt.. n well tat was something i will regret even til today....

2 things happened towards the end of my bmt.. the release of our A levels results n well the failure of my ippt.. both concluded tat my life is seriously going to get very very fuck typed.. n well it did in a way i guess..

though i m fine now.. but i still really wish to turn back the hands of time ...

anyway.. so of course i was posted to become a Man, no sgt or sir for me.. haha.. on the other hand, almost as a consolation, i was posted to 39th SCE, which was my bro's unit, it is an urban ops unit, one tat takes care of spore chemical defence n does anti-terror stuff too... i was temporarily happy.. n for a while the feeling of being crushed flowed away.. made quite abit of frens there, marcus, chin han mainly... the sgts were nice.. n the sir was well nice too though reminded me of my bro.. haha..oh n i did my first ever pull-up in 39th sce... time spent there was fun n the exp rather rich.. the knowledge learnt during the lectures n practical was well very interesting.. haha.. n of course whu can forget the smoke chambers.. anyway all gd feeling faded away when i realised that i was not a pioneer of 39th sce..

fyi, a pioneer is a name given to a Man of 39th n 36th sce. main job is to support the commanders in wadever they do, usually they do more work than the commanders but get less credit for it =)

yes in fact, i was actually posted to 36sce, while 39th sce deals with chemicals, 36th deals with explosives... hence the nickname bomb squad...

b4 i entered the unit, my bro n quite a no. of ppl were telling us soon to b 36th SCE pioneers that 36thsce was a very strict unit, with very high standards.. n tat the ppl r very nasty.. n tat we got to learn how to drive.. n tat the unit is an ippt gold unit.. n tat .... the list goes on n on n on... not to mention ppl telling us that the camp in which 36sce is stationed is very very old n extremely run down compared to seletar camp.

in any case nothing nice was said of 36th sce except tat it was a more elite unit compared to 39th sce..

gosh..

so it was wit a little fear tat we left 39th sce.. n went all the way to Selarang camp, all the way on the other side of spore from my home at cck.. yes selarang camp is at pasir ris.. =.=''

when we first saw the camp, we were shocked.. at the start we were wondering if we saw the wrong camp coz it looked so new.. so new indeed.. upon closer inspection, we realised tat 36th sce was inside the 9div infantry camp.. in short, we r a camp inside a camp.... haha

all negative thoughts of 36th sce seems to vanish when we saw the renovated camp.. quite nice really.. then our temp CSM WO Ang came n talked to us.. n he is damm nice lah.. haha.. funny old man too.. whu kept us entertained with his jokes n wad not.. n he is very very reasonable indeeed..

n wit tat life in 36sce started.... n hence the rest of my army life too..

******
but b4 we cld start our lives in 36sce, we must first learn how to drive, since it was a requirement in our vocation to drive, nvr saw the logic of tat.. but yar..

driving course was at first tot to b very slack.. afterall it was a course for drivers, how hard can it b? .. of course first time learning driving can b hard, controlling the veh n all tat.. but stil we din tink tat it will b tat bad... tat was until we got into the drivin sch itself..

in our first few lessons, we soon learnt that the trainers in the SAF driving sch r fuck typed idiots whose dicks r too small until they got to take it out on ppl like us, of course not all r like tat, there r some nice ones. but i with my horrid luck got a very very horrible one.. sigh

my trainer was gd .. he really does deliver results.. n he is a very exp driver.. but gosh his mouth n the way he handles his students.. the TERROR sia.. haha.. everyday i get blasted by him up down left n right... felt extremely fuck typed n at many times felt like just killing him... bascially he just likes to swear at u.. scream at u when u make mistake.. n just like to pms u like fuck.. haha.. so every morning b4 driving lessons i feel extremely depressed n will start to degenerate into a zombie...

i guess it was becoz of ths fear of him.. tat i was determined to pass no matter wad.. n so in my first attempt at the driving test, i passed.. i was bleaming like dun know wad.. n literally waltzed over the waiting area.. haha...

it was like a depressing cloud was finally washed away from me =)

n with more n more of us passing our driving test.. we were given our status as 36th sce pioneers n also given our LCP rank

n well life in 36sce then took on full swing

******
while in 39th sce, everything was taught thru lectures, drills n practicals, in 36thsce, due to the fact tat we r a ops unit n we hav a high tempo of jobs, everything was taught on the job.. so for a few mths we were like a headless chicken.. tryin to figure our way out of everything.. sad to say our seniors were more than rdy to leave n thus left us rather ill-prepared.. haha

in 36th sce, my army life was truly defined.. with roles to play n jobs to do... n much planning at hand.. we forged ahead in a way.. though thru the mths, more n more ppl from our pnr batch started to drop out.. we were reduced to a mere 16-17 from a full strength of 21... but stil we managed to get things done.. at times some of the politics can get very irritating.. n at others, the ppl themselves caused me to vomit blood... n then there r the days when the paper work is rather bitchy... or on other days when ppl wan to go for offs but their offs r not approved n the world is abt to die.. n yet we still functioned.. haha

sometimes i wonder myself too.. how we did it.. but we did.. haha

of course things wld not hav been done if not for our masterful planners of duties..
the highest of highest aaron neo n sometimes daniel tsou.... n yes ben aw too =)

n things wld not hav run tat smoothly if not for all the computer systems tat our tech wiz created...
the tech wiz daniel tsou

n our veh wld not hav functioned properly or pass inspection if not for our WPT ics..
the slut queen weilun, n of course aaron neo the highest

not to forget the guys whu did fuel recepits so tat the fuel keeps flowing..
the god leslie n the fucking slack ah lam ck (just kidding)

n of course the ppl who take cares of our Stores, who if gone, how r we ever going to jump start the veh or clean them up..
the white time-keeper shuhan n the overmind yuhui

n last but definitely not the least.. the person who helped me wit the offs n leaves of our pnrs..n also does our ration indentment n takes the attendance of our dept..
the wise n agely ah wang (ben wang)

of course there r all the other rest too who made life so much more enjoyable
the 'driver' jamie whu gave us rides back home
the 'come suck my cock' parthiban whu well keep asking ppl to suck his cock
the 'i m not a bitch but i wan to b one' waikit whu is ever so funny n compromising
n the 'father' andrew whu always is the oldest n giving us life's advices

n i of course the Off/Leave IC is always at your service yes?
how can i ever compare with the highest of highest or god? haha

smiles...

*******
haha ok enough bullshit.. in a way becoz we all knew we had a job to do, we did it well.. n gd thing ppl like the commanders actually loved us for our work.. some even saying we r better than most batches..

haha.. i know whu cares yes.. but i m sure most of us felt gd when such things r being said of us..

afterall whu can forget we had 'so many' accidents at the start.. aaron even had 2.. ppl hitting barricades, ppl hitting cp roofs, ppl hitting veh.. n all tat.. the mayhem tat caused.. haha.. i rmber i felt quite wtf when i had my accident.. all those reports to write n wad not.. sheesh. but well i guess we all need a little accident to wake us up.. haha..

trust me after an accident u will b rather careful after that

well in 36sce we also get to see the 'real' spore.. haha.. secret ways.. n all that.. gosh.. quite interesting i must say.. haha .. not to mention staying in the 5 stars hotel shangrila whenever we do major ops.. haha.. i mean how many ppl actually get to stay in a 5star hotel when they r serving NS.. n did i mention we were given full treatment like any guests? haha.. cool rite?

anyway it was in 36th sce.. tat i realised shld stop sagging around.. so got my fitness up.. n thru that started to raise thru the ranks.. from LCP to CPL to CFC.. do i deserve my ranks? yes i wld like to tink so.. afterall i did my job well.. at least i hoped i did it well enough.. haha.. i ran 2 half marathon, though i seriously doubt i wil ever run a full one.. haha.. my running timing has improved (though nvr did it ever got back to the bmt days).. n of course i managed to clear my chin-ups..

n finally i can say.. i m no longer as fat as i used to b... haha.. unlike others who like to dellude themselves. i know i m not slim either.. but well working towards it yar? i m definitely more fit now.. hha.. which is seriously gd thing.. haha

i told myself tat i nvr wanna go back to those horrible fat self in the past.. n i hope i nvr will.. counting on my frens to make sure i dun.. lolz..

******
the Service did change me.. in many ways...
changed both physically n mentally...

i guess its a gd thing.. but i lost a part of me in army.. i can feel it.. haha.. i m not whu i used to b.. not as talkative i tink... but oh wells... the things we do yar?

unlike some, i actually learnt some lessons from army.. n for me i m glad to leave the service.. since i did my share of work.. in fact at times i did more than my fair share of work.. haha

i guess when u really really put in effort in doing something, at the end... u feel tat u achieved something.. of course not everyone can say tat...

some slacked their way thru army... n i pity them seriously, for they will nvr learn the lessons that we learnt...

=)
