Booked out todae early in the morning at 10.30am and was damn happy! Well, i'm always happy whenever i'm out of camp. The past week in camp is ok lar but as usual, i tend to flare up alot and this time it's worse than b4 and i still have no idea wad's wrong wif mi. Perhaps i'm starting to let mi physical state affect mi moods. Luckily i'm gonna pass out soon man or i might seriously get into fights soon...

Went to watch madagascar wif pple from d'euqilco todae and i guess i din relly enjoy the show as much as the others. I felt tt the show had no proper ending and the ending was relly sooooooo sudden tt i din expect it at all...I still prefer blockbusters man...and this animation from dreamworks relly fail to live up to the reputation of shrek's producers...

Decided to have dinner at a jap restaurant at causeway where they had set meals while i had juz a small piece of sushi. On one hand, it's to save $ since i'll be dining wif my family later. And guess wad, mi and mi family had jap cuisine at mi club..haha so we ordered a set each and they cost quite a bit..but when i saw the side dishes tt came wif it and the amount of food, the price was worth it man...

For those hu congratulate mi for mi dentistry application..it's relly nice of u guys man!! haha i'll remember to set up a nicholas' frens club where u'll enjoy discounts when u come by mi clinic in future..haha

Yes!! Another shiok day!! Woke up early to have breakfast and lunch wif 1 of mi sec sch frens...then drove to orchard to meet limin george and aloy...haha met for awhile and tok awhile only b4 i had to leave to go to sim lim to repair mi poor com..haha at last it's working again! The only reason y todae is shiok is coz i drove the whole day lar!!

And well, i kinda made up mi mind juz now. I already decided not to go command sch anymore..juz gotta call mi other frens to check up more b4 confirming...haha anywae..i told mi mum and i'm relly quite sure tt i dun wanna lead a command sch life. Well..leaving le..cya all man!

shiok shiok shiok!! this is a shiok day man!! mi father decided to let mi use the car for the whole day since he was staying at home and it's great man! Btw must thank mi father for getting this new car, mitsubishi sports lancer wif mi in mind. It's quite shiok and damn nice..i like it man! haha so i drove janie to orchard from church since it was near her home and met binh and zixu for shopping session. Luckily i managed not to buy anything except tt ice milo and large fries which cost mi $5! argh!!

Juz walked around orchard a little and then we had to go separate ways. Binh meeting her viet frens while zixu meeting his sec sch frens. They booked tix to watch star wars man.I was quite desperate lar..desperate to watch star wars since most of mi frens have already seen it and i had practically no accompaniment. Was trudging sadly back to mi car and about to drive off when zixu called. He told mi tt one of his frens pulled out and there's an extra ticket. Damn lucky man! I immediately jumped at the opportunity and drove to a carpark near centrepoint. Btw..i hate parking in orchard man..The malls' carpark is damn expensive while the open air carparks are full of cars.

Finally found a place to park and went to look for zixu at cineleisure. Caught episode 3 and it was fantastic man...superb..yue yiao u were rite man! haha But zixu the spastic fool somehow misplaced his fone sometime in the movie and we spent awhile looking under our seats trying to help him find but it was all futile. Luckily we managed to find it after the movie ended..idiot..cost mi to missed some valuable parts. Was 11+ after tt and i sent zixu and his fren peiyi home since i was driving past bukit timah area. haha zixu shiok rite??

Anywae..i managed to banish army tok by alot! And i'm not gonna update bout mi live firing of rounds in the range and the situation test tt i juz went thru. And i also realised tt i relly have a lot of anger in mi and i find it hard to control esp when i'm in camp..hai..i'm gonna become another darth vader man..Speaking of which..if obiwan were to be a little bit sadistic and kick anakin into the lava river while he's down, tt'd save all the trouble of having episode 4,5 and 6!! haha juz jokin..anywae gd nite everyone!

Home home and home!! i'll update more later coz i needa go church but i juz wanna say tt i'm extremely ecstatic tt i got into dentistry!! whoa man!! i mean it's relly damn difficult and i actually made it..relly must thank mi frens hu were there to support mi like zixu, yue yiao, janie, james and all those hu told mi to believe tt i can do it. I guess i did quite well for the interview coz i was able to answer most of the questions tt they directed to mi. Of course it's alot of questions based on mi opinion and i'm glad i stood by mi stand and did not wayang to them man. ok more bout it later..and i still needa find companionship to watch star wars later!! okok back to update more later..

Finally i'm back from mi 7 days of field camp and i'm feeling damn tired. Other pple might say tt field camp is so and so or tiring or wad but i prefer to say tt field camp is extremely extremely memorable. Maybe both in a good way and a bad way. To start things, let's juz say tt it rained 5 days out of 7 days. The first night tt we stayed in the rubber plantation was quite bad. It drizzled a little at night and i could feel the water trickling down from mi basha top.

Anywae a basha is something like a tent. It comprises of 2 groundsheets, wif 1 of them acting as the roof for the tent. The thing is, the whole damn basha is damn small and space is severely limited, esp the height. Imagine from a lying down position, u slowly sit up and when ur body hit the 45 degrees mark ( meaning u're not in a full sitting position ). ur head is already touching the basha, tt's how cramp it was...absolutely hated it.Yar i was saying the rain, it was leaking thru mi basha and soon i was wet lar...

And on the 2nd day, it rained again and this time veh veh heavily. The drainage system tt we dug up wasn't veh effective, it was holding water instead of draining them. Anywae i also wanted to say tt digging is a torture man...relly...digging SUCKS. And it rained so heavily on the second day tt we had to have lunch in our own tent and we were all dripping wet wif water. And i tot that it was going to be the most memorable day of field camp since it rained for like 2 hours. The ground all around became shitty as in relly like shit. The mud all sticks to our boots and it's juz super super soft and shitty man!! yuck.

Oh yea we learned quite some stuff there but i dun wanna elaborate on those stuff unless i find them interesting enough. So on the third day, we marched to oil palm, which is an oil palm plantation. The weather was perfect and we had a superb night. Juz tt i seem to be veh paranoid about army stuff. It's like i suddenly woke up in the middle of the night hearing 1 of the sergeants shouting to us to get into proning position in our basha. Ok proning position is sth like lying down juz tt u lie on ur stomach and u put ur hand above ur neck. So i immediately tried to make mi buddy wake up but he was in such deep slumber tt i juz gave up. I was in tt position for like 15min when i got too tired and turned around and fell asleep. It was when i woke up in the morning when i realised tt the sergeants did not shout but a part of mi mind created it so close to reality tt i believed it totally.

On the 4th day, it was our supposed technical break, where we will take a break from all the trainings and lessons and rest in our tent in the afternoon...but alas...it was all destroyed by the rain!! This time, it rained like it nv rained b4 and it not only clogged our drainage system, it was so bad tt the muddy rain water was practically gushing into mi basha man...it was so bad tt the commanders evacuated us into their big command tent. Even then, the rain was still veh bad and finally, they evacuated us by a big truck to a nearby area which consists of a few old shops. There we had lunch. Oh yar befor i forget, for this whole field camp, we are assigned to combat rations. Surprisingly, they're all damn good even though they come in fixed packets and the menu includes, tomato chiken bolognaise, satay pasta, yellow curry rice, chicken briyani and ithe best thing is tt it comes wif desserts! The desserts are fantastic i tell u...yummy although i knoe zx would beg to differ..

So at the old shops, we had fresh rations!! Which is hot food packed from the bmt cookhouse. FElt great to eat something hot after so long man...we stayed at tt area until dinner and then we were forced to go back to tt campsite to sleep there. It was quite an ok sleep although our stuff were full of mud. And again i had a nightmare. This time i dreamt tt sergeants required us to fall in in our sbo, helmet and rifle. And i again tried to wake mi buddy up but i tynk he slept too well. In the end, i also went back to sleep but while waking him up i tynk i accidentally woke up pple frrom mi neighbour basha and they were quite stunned and was wondering if relly need to fall in lar...hai..i'm becoming a psycho..

So we learn more bout movement drills on the 5th day . And we got punished veh veh severely by our commanding officer todae. Must relly thank those inconsiderate and idiotic guys man. They shit outside the field toilet and din even bother to cover up..Bravo man…The best thing was, they din even haf the guts to admit it. So we did 20 pushups followed by 60 rifle jumping jacks, then enduring in the pushup position while they scold us before doing more pushups jumping jacks and situps again…all in our sbo, helmet and rifle..rocks…And all these punishment, we did it by the toilet. And still, no one wanted to admit it. In the end, we had to have lunch by the toilet man..I heard tt one of the person who shit there and din own up was pointed out by another guy who sawsw the act and when probed, tt idiot actually said tt he saw someone shit there, so he went to shit where the person shit. So since the person b4 him din cover up, he also din cover up and so he’s not at fault. Total bullshit man. And this idiot has no integrity wadsoever…

Anyway at night we marched off to our third and last campsite, Reclaimed land...There we slept wif only our groundsheets and so it was quite nice...facing all the stars until it started to rain like mad at 3am..it relly rained so badly till the commanders gathered us in their tent again to wait for the rain to subside. We were all like squashed and barely had any space. Worse still it's in the middle of the night and everyone is tired like anything lar...Was in the same tentage as zixu and we started to tok and fantasise and plan for saturday's activities. Initially wanted a full body massage and lunch and dinner and college day but i guess in the end, we'll only be going for the dinner...haha...and it was quite nice, takes ur mind of the field camp and the dumb rain and the coldness...after an hour plus, it was still raining heavily but this time, the commanders asked us to go back to our area and try to catch some sleep. We were all drenched...totally...but no choice, must sleep in the rain, too tired..

And the next day, or rather about an hour later, we woke up, had breakfast and proceeded to dig our shellscrape. It’s shaped like a coffin and the purpose of digging it is to have a suitable position to hide while having a chance to fire off at our enemies. I took bout 4 hours to dig mi shellscrape and was damn tired after tt. Everybody had to dig their own shellscrape and basically it’s about knee level deep. Really..like I said, digging is no joke man. We dun dig with those long chankul tt u pple see, but a short stick and blunt blade called the entrenching tools( ET tools). And after digging, we had to dig our firetrench, which is chest level deep. Luckily this one we dug as a section of about 10 pple…Mi section dug it so well and even decorated the whole firetrench by camouflaging it wif plants and trees so well that mi section commander was very impressed. He kept saying, ‘ I’ve not seen or made anything this fantastic before.’ And of course he seemed proud of us since he’s our in charge. Our commanding officer was also so impressed that he gathered the whole company to show them our marvelous firetrench..was quite proud of mi section since we completed it together.

That night, we slept in our coffins. Quite scary considering tt we juz had our powder bath before sleeping. Relly looks zombie-ish man…haha but was surprisingly quite comfortable. On the last day, we went through our battle inoculation course which is like a simulation of a real battlefield and we’re required to stay low by crawling under the live firing of the machine gun and under obstacles…was damn tired and shagged out man…

Okok enough bout army stuff..went out wif zixu for prata this afternoon before meeting up wif jasmine and binh for dinner together at seoul garden. Was literally stuffing myself wif food although mi throat is like shit man. The throat infection was so bad and I had so much phlegm tt I spent 20min at home clearing the existing phlegm. It was so solid and yellowish and I have never in mi whole life had so much phlegm in mi man…Was nice seeing them again and we sharing our stories but somehow I feel tt they’re not relly interested bout hearing bout mi life anymore. Juz a feeling. But well, mayb coz mi life revolves too much round the dumb army man…damn army talk.

Met up with Janie for kingdom of Heaven juz now and it’s relly not a great show lar. Not for girls especially and the plot at the end was quite confusing. I guess army has relly made mi dumber. Luckily I used movie money…otherwise I’d haf cried coz tt show is not worth $9.50 man…Oh well..next time I’ll watch out before watching any movies. Waste of mi precious time. Ok tt’s it for now…

My second bookout of mi bmt life started yesterday afternoon!! Shiok and to tynk i only need to go back on tuesday afternoon while most of mi frens need to go back by monday nite!! It's not because i'm slacking but coz i have an interview on tues morning!! SHIOK!!

Lemme talk bout the week first, basically we learn bout camoflage and concealment..using the leaves and the environment to conceal ourselves from the sight of the enemies..i haf to sae it was quite fun man..we all came out of it looking like bushes..mind u..when i say camoflage i dun mean sticking a few leaves here and there..it means we practically look like a bush..haha so bushified..

And better than tt, we learn how to use our rifles properly..to aim and fire..wowee man!! tt's relly fun..juz like playing a computer game initially..coz we using simulation..damn shiok..i'm a left hander but surprisingly..mi right hand is super..all mi shots were accurate man..haha shiok!! shooting rocks!!

Ok besides tt..the highlight of the week got to be on fri, when i told a sergeant tt sergeant arafat has no brains. Ok it's like this. Mi and mi whole company are in rows of 15 all spreaded out doing some exercises. Sergeant arafat was the one conducting the exercises and he's not happy wif our movement, coz the pple behind seem to lag by bout 2s. The thing is tt when arafat gives commands, it's not exactly veh loud and the pple behind cannot hear, therefore the pple in front need to echo, but because of reaction time, by the time the pple at the back reacts, the pple at the front are already in position. So arafat was not happy and keep changing our position eg. pushup position change, crunches position change, jumping jack in position change etcetc...and all these are done damn fast. I was in front, and was juz in mi pushup position when i had to change to crunches position, so given the 2s time lag, u can imagine the dominoes effect from the front to the back lar.

So he was not happy and gave us many pushup crunches and jumping jack punishment. Because we were doing all these positions on sandy ground, all the sand were flying everywhere and all the Sirs could see it. Many pple had irritation wif the eyes etc and yet arafat still want us to do 30 counts of 4 jumping jack as punishment coz we were not shouting loud enough when obviously some pple are having problems wif sand in their mouth and eyes etc. I was damn pissed coz i already shout damn loud..But still got punished for nothing. So i was scolding when a sergeant heard and asked mi wad i said lar. I tynk he saw tt i was veh agitated coz he kept telling mi to cool down and he'll reflect it to arafat.

So yesterday mi platoon sergeants asked hu scolded arafat brainless, so i stood up and explained miself. I also gave them an analogy, i said tt if all the sergeants were to be in our position yesterday and i were to make them conform to the same standards tt arafat wants, which was for everyone to haf simultaneaous actions instead of the dominoes effect, they also surely cannot make it. And then they understood wad i was saying because for everyone to haf same reaction is brainless and spastic and cannot be done because of the fact tt sound takes time to travel! So they din fault mi and juz told mi tt that is arafat's character.

haha..i'm sure he hates mi now man..but well, he can't do anything against mi. But i guess i do haf to learn to control mi temper. I realise tt i'm finding it harder and harder to control mi anger and temper in the army. Sometimes when i see mi own platoon mates not putting in 100% effort, i'd feel veh angry coz they'd be sth like the sabotage kings and always get us into trouble...well i need anger management!!

On tuesday, i went for mi manual dexterity test and mi god..it's relly difficult man. There's one part where they require u tomould a molar tooth our a plasticine following the model they gave. Since i'm not relly artsy, i can't relly visualise how to mould it and mi final product looked absolutely hilarious man...But well, i believe tt if God wants mi to study dentistry, no matter the obstacles, i'll still be selected. SO i juz haf to wait for mi interview on tuesday now..

Btw, the fact tt i got to the manual dexterity test was also a miracle. I was on the way home from tekong to get mi stuff before going to nus when mi father called. He offered to go home and fetch mi there and i was like ok wif it since he was free. When i was nearing home, i suddenly realised tt i did not bring mi house keys home from tekong!! And tt's where i juz relly thanked God for this miracle that mi father would call mi and offer to fetch mi there. It's relly a miracle coz mi father usually wun call to fetch mi and i told him tt he did not need to fetch mi earlier in the week lar..so i juz felt so blessed man..

Yesterday i went out wif d'euqilco to watch the interpreter as well as to haf dinner. The show was quite nice and the UN building relly looks quite nice. The plot was quite nice and it sort of caught mi by surprise earlier but about 3/4 way i could already guess the ending..still the buildup and the suspense was great! We had dinner at ajisen and i went to kajiao a waitress working there. It was quite farni coz i supposed tt she was only bout 15 or 16..and yet she was wearing a silver ring on the 4th finger on her left hand. So while refilling mi water, i asked her if she was married..hahaha damn farni man...i'm so bad..argh..

Subsequently we went to coke red bar at cathay cineleisure to juz sit and talk..since they offered free xbox gaming there, i played wif xiaoqian and weibin lar..quite fun. Watched many trailers there and i must say tt i'm relly looking forward to star wars episode 3 man!! hahaha shiok!! i'll update more when i get home..mi parents wanna go buy a car..cya all..to mi frens and classmates leaving tags..thx man..esp to james man..always there to encourage mi and to all 03s08 pple too! Sorry tt i couldn't join the last few outings..cya all soon!!
