burning and burning...

so sian my weekends all like tat gone le... burning todae and tomolo due to the pats inspection... we are determined to get a good grade for this... a bit not used to this, juz resumed branch life not too long ago... the dys are gg to ord soon, and looking forward, i'll be working wif two more batches of dys b4 i ord myself... sigh... jan 07 sure looks far away... but still i've served 10 months plus le... 14 more months to go!!...

university life seems to be not go easy going for the undergraduate frens i've heard from... seems like it's not as true as wat i've tot it was gg to be like when i was in jc... tot jc shld be more tough?? hmmm.... but university life is the last lap we are running in the education system le.. counting back, already study for 14 years le... muz work hard manz...

nus dropped it's standing... wondering whether i really can make it through to apply for overseas scholarship??? this is a big dream - to study in uk... heard alot from my fren who spent 3 yrs there studying... it all sounds too good tat i wan to try it for myself... gotta work hard to achieve my dreams, although i'm clear of my own limits...

but for now, choing for the pats inspection!!!!!!

end of offs

yep today is the last day of my offs; booking in early morning tomolo... of course, hav the usual sian-ness of gg back to camp.. long time nv go back le, tink there'll be 1cm-thickness of dust accumulating on my bed..

todae went for driving again.. i'm a real noob in this, after so many lessons, still cannot make it.. forced to change my test date to jan 23, which most probably i'll change again... hopefully can take the test in dec cos tat's when my PDL expires.. today, unlike the past, driving was quite alrite.... except for a few situations where i blur... once i even forgot to depress the clutch b4 changing gear!... hahaa... and a few times juz dashed out from a junction when i'm supposed to wait...

i kinda like it when it's fast... far too many times my instructor commands me to slow down... so sian, everything has to be done at a slow speed... it'll be a bit more thrilling to negotiate a corner wif high speed rite... hahaa... instructor say i'll be involved in accident sooner or later wif or without liscene..

slack slack...

yoz, blogging at this time of this day of this week.. yeah, off till thr taste good!...

one of the first good news tat i've gotten after coming back is tat i've been promoted to CPL wef 011005... although it's a low rank still, at least i'm now halfway through to become a spec.. can still remember i was always very enthu and happy wif regards to promotion back den in VS where i was in NPCC.. i always get promoted faster than others and got more badges than others.. hahaa... guess tat was when my pride was build...

played some pool, threw some balls (bball lah) after coming back as i slowly resumed my way of life after the short break from singapore.. but i underwent a major change in thinking after coming back, after befriending two of the fellow soldiers there.. one of whom i already knew, but this trip enabled me to know more abt him as we chatted quite alot..

and i'm quite convinced tat an overseas scholarship would be most ideal for me... but i noe it's gonna be difficult cos i nv took any S papers.. sigh, regret not doing so.. anyway, juz gonna try my luck, and try my best too.. started dreaming abt studying in a renowned UK university, travelling around europe during holidays, leading my life in a new environment, new culture, getting Masters degree after 4 years of education.... all looks good, if i ever get the scholarship... it's gonna be dificult...

anyway, of course if i end up wif nothing den at least i hav a place in NUS... but not too sure which course is suitable for me..

welcome home!

the plane finally touched down at CIA around 0715... tat's the end of the two weeks in brunei... oh well, being back home again feels great... hahaa...

browsed through all u guys' blog le... muz really wish KL, WK and alvin a very belated, but very happy bdae...

life's not really interesting at the camp in brunei.. there's hardly a day where my t shirt is dry from sweat.. it's so hot and humid, when i feel like slacking and taking a day-time nap in bunk, i'll juz lie on my bed and sweat buckets... yet in the ops room there's more than enf arrows going around... failed to finish reading the books tat i've brought over there... and fancy doing 5 duties in 12 days... quite a few times got into trouble wif the BOS as i was caught wearing admin attire in cookhouse for lunch (muz wear no.4), so forced to go back bunk change... not tat i mind changing; changing onli takes 5 mins.. but every trip to cookhouse means going downhill, and of course the return trip is a climb upwards... reminds me of bukit timah...

towards the end of the 14 days when training are ceasing and i got a bit more time, there's a chinese chess frenzy going around... unfortunately, i'm not the best chess player around.. in fact, i hardly beat anybody except those who nv played b4 and wans to giv it a try... sigh... the worst record is to lose to my CSM, whom i've nv beat b4, even after he was handicapped a 'car' and a 'horse', or a horse and an 'arti'...

the last day R&R wasn't fun at all.. most of the time we were brought to a shopping mall, perhaps some of the biggest over there, and instruction was to return after two hours.. nothing much to look around... everything can be bought in s'pore at around the same price.. the onli attractive stuff tat u can't find in abundance here is dvd and ps2 games... ya, pirated of course.. priced at $3 a disc, some even come in '3 in 1' movies in a dvd... and there's a very wide range of variety.. looks like the piracy business over there is flourishing... but there's something too bad abt this - we can't bring it over here... wasted... if not i'll surely fill my whole bag wif games and dvds.. oh juz imagine if i live there..... hahaa... can't buy, but no harm watching the movies being played in the shop, where we spent quite some time standing there and watching the myth, into the blue and goal at the same time....

nothing much appealing in brunei, except tat the clouds are much more beautiful over there.. u can see it in greater details...

'off' till book in on thr morning 0730.. hmmm... wonder will they consider it as block leave??

fly away...

the day tat doesn't seem too soon a few months ago finally came... ya, gg for overseas 'training' tonite... tomolo 0230 the flight will take off... still, there's a couple of last minute preparation again.. haven even finish packing my bag... gg to hougang point later to buy some stuff to bring over, as well as to change some notes to their currency...

this will be my second time gg overseas by air... very SK for hor... hahaa.. nvm, i tink my chance to go overseas to some good place for holiday, not training, will come one day.. indeed, i'll really like to travel around, gg to places really interesting... right now, no idea where's interesting... yet.. hahaa....

it'll be cyndi's voice which will accompany me throughout the journey, which consist not onli a plane ride, and oso a ferry and two bus rides.. too bad for me, cos onli two clerks, including me, is going.. and my fellow clerk is taking the first flight, which means by now he shld be there already...

hmmm... dunno the toilet quality there good not bad... tat one very relevant to me leh.. hahaa..

hope this time round i wun forget to bring anything there... wasted i wan to watch the X files show tonite de leh... aiya... btw, Priscelia Chan pretty rite?? hmmm...

see ya 2 weeks later!

i'm home again..

hahaa.. yest booked in, and todae booked out again.. off all the way fri when i report to CIA at nite.. but still, todae i shld hav booked out at 1200 instead of 7pm... all those gg lancer got half day off... but i got couple of things to do...

it's hard to get things done in this organisation... esp when i'm way below my estab... so sian, i really tink i shld be promoted lor... like tat i very lugi leh... do spec work but get men pay...

not gg to blog long, cos nothing to blog abt... hahaa... dunno wat it will be like in brunei... but tink sldn't be too bad ba... tink the only thing i look forward to wif regards to it is to read my discover, which i 'saved' up for this trip.. of course i'll hav lots of time to do tat over there, wif doing parade state and BRO my onli responsibilities... or so i hope...

may all be well and happy...

remembered tat, when on course and the lecturer goes around asking ppl wat do they wan out of life, there's a variety of answers.. and wat i gave was happiness for me and those around me.. den i tink again.. if tat's wat i wan in life, den everything tat i do in life muz be cos of it, rite?? but tat hasn't been really true...

maybe we all are selfish ppl... selfishness is a nature of human being (quoted by my beloved gp tutor)... wat's concious in our mind is to do good, yet we still commit evil deeds, cos subconciously, wat we tink are bad tots...

dunno why i toking crap.. okie, got to book in le... haha! so long nv go back camp le...

ps: the 'we' refers to human beings in general... not toking abt ppl i noe or in my circle..

here again..

realised tat i blog quite often.. maybe these are times when i keep booking out, hav nothing really much to do at home other than playing dynasty warriors and sleeping.. maybe tomolo i'll be here again, cos not booking in till late at nite.. on course.. haha... ya todae saw couple of familiar faces where i took the test... the test was ok la... can't really comment much on it... they giv us half an hour to do 20 mcq qns... which i finished in less than 5 mins... but i dun wan to be the first one to walk out of the room, so waited for a couple of minutes more when someone handed in the paper and left, and i followed... and, ya, spent another half of the day at home... choing dynasty warriors again..

tomolo need to go back camp to pack my bag... gotta get ready lots of stuff... plenty of which i dun tink i really need...

fallen in love wif cyndi's songs... love her music and voice... nice...

nono signing off...

the end of one thing signifies the beginning of the other... and this end weekend will of course signify the beginning of a new week... after courses of three days, it's time to go back to camp... to tink tat i always prefer sch life to army life, now i gg to hav a taste of the old sch life again... yep, gg to read and understand and memorise the dreadful GOM (general directive of manpower)!! no la, not all of them... selectively... will do so after i book in later at nite... in preparation for the test tomolo... got of feeling of last minute preparation again... ha... all so familiar in sch life...

got quite a few things to settle... first will be the packing... now still dunno wat exactly to pack, but tink tomolo will i come back from test will start to...

needless to say, looking forward to the course on tue... another day skipped from camp.. good..

bball today morning was not bad... played 4 matches of 2v2... alvin was quite a bother... hard to mark... but not bad la, at least i improve...

dynasty warriors rules!
