This is my last post before I start my 3 weeks confinement in OCS. Yea, 3 weeks... Whoa...
Took 2 hours at least to pack all my stuff... WTH... Had a special dinner just now to celebrate my eligibility to OCS, but having a stomachache from the black pepper crab... I think... Still hurts now...
Not everyone is anxious about tmr... My BMT bed buddy has Att C, so he won't be booking in with us tmr, but you take care, and recover soon!
Anyway, 9 months... Thought about it, not that long, not that short... Has its pros and cons compared to other vocations, so, oh well, 9 months and so be it!
Alright, gotta sleep early so, bis dann!
Oh no! I'm only left with 1 day before I return back to army life!!! Argh!!!
Edited the skin because of the loss of a cartoon... Yes, the mozart one, somehow, it got lost. I roughly know why, but no point for elaboration. But anyway, added a new picture in and changed the blog song to Vivaldi's Four Season, Spring. I actually wanted Summer, but I couldn't find it, so...
Informed Mr. Ku about my posting... And he said I won't be having lessons for the next 9 months... Sad, but kind of no choice. Meanwhile, I'm supposed to prepare a piece by my own... haha...
Actually, I'm packing my bags for Monday, but I'm a little lazy already... haha... So stopped close to halfway... lol...
Time's passed very quickly, 2 weeks of block leave is just down the drain like that. Well, at least I met up with all I cherish as friends. But I forgot about Stallone and YT. That was so wrong of me. So, erm, for the next 9 months, meet-ups are gonna be hard, so haiz...
Deren, if you ever gonna read this post, just to let you know, the drinking appointment I promised you, we gotta postpone it man... haha...
38 weeks! whoa!
Received my posting...
I took a morning nap... yes, a nap after my breakfast, then suddenly my dad called me about my posting... haha, i haven't even checked then... I told him I would go check then and the next thing I knew, my mum called and asked me the same question... haha...
Anyway, I got posted to OCS. Hmm, yes! haha...
To Lead, To Excel, To Overcome
Rather happy; alot of my friends are posted to there too... Good... haha...
Oh, about the photos, since Edmund has put them up in his blog, go to his blog to see... haha...

And I forgot to write something in yesterday's entry... "To wake up each day and know you're alive, that's a miracle." So live each day to the fullest! =D
Firstly, I would wanna thank a couple of people who have been very enthusiastic in commenting in my tagbox. However, it can't be possible, because I do not know their names; they acknowledged themselves as 'passerby' and 'some stranger'.
We all do respect, but please have your names written down, that's the least you can do when you comment on something. Firstly, you're respecting yourself by acknowledging yourself, secondly, it's ethics, unless you tell me you don't have. Then again, do not use other people's names, that would label you as unethical too. =)

Lol... Yes, we met up, all 5 of us, for steamboat at orchard, specifically opposite Paradiz Centre. Edmund, Van and I went for a movie first though. We watched "Premonition"; "Faith is something we cannot see, or hear or feel, just like hope and love." I would give it a 3.5 rating. The storyline's not bad, and true, some scenes are disturbing; judging from the commotion from the people behind where we were sitting... haha... A little draggy, although it all ended in an hour and a half. The build up was good, the puzzle pieces were there, all it needed was the audience's participation in fixing up everything together. Oh, I love the soundtrack; it gets into me.
Went for dinner afterwards, had a long dinner, and surprisingly neat one. haha... yes, neat. Our previous steamboat meals are terrible. haha... Took a few pictures, crapped, talked about serious business, and private stuff... haha... (I'll put up the pictures when I get all of them)
Like Matthew, I wanna give my wishes to all of you 4 people......
Matthew and Edmund: All the best to your postings; hope you get what you have in mind.
Vanessa: Congrats on your overseas education. Just remember to meet us up again before you fly off!
Si Hui: Know you're busy, so won't blame you for all the disappointments, BUT, don't take everything too seriously, keep it cool sometimes. Have fun with your studies and r/s. All the best too =)
Met up with friends from NP!!! hooray!! haha...
As usual, it's talk cock time... but today, we talked so much that we shared our whole BMT story to everybody... haha... Was supposed to meet at 2, I was late by a little, and Jap was even later... Walked over to cineleisure (yes, where Dave Teo was arrested!), and bought our 'Underdog' tickets... haha... Thanks to the immaturity of ZK, but I give in, because the show wasn't that bad... haha... We went to LJ to have a little meal to kill time before the movie. As usual, we talked...
Movie ended.....
Walked around, Ahmad had to leave because he's fasting; couldn't join us for dinner... Jap left for home to get sth and to meet his fren later, back at orchard... *slaps head*!
So we went to PS and walked a little, and settled down at Mac for a drink and crapped again while waiting for Nevin to join us for dinner.
Again, as usual, we couldn't decide where to dine, and we kept going on with our conversation without touching on the topic of 'dinner venue'. Decided FINALLY to go to Park Mall's Mongolian Restaurant to have dinner. We talked again... So far, all the talk was about ARMY!!! YES! A-R-M-Y!
Dinner ended.......
Went back to PS, because ZK wanted to look for Polo Tees. Yes, he could have done so in the afternoon, but he didn't... *craps* We went along... Wanted to go for a drink at Clarke Quay, but he felt feverish, and HJ wasn't feeling so alright, so we went over to Cathay's Starbucks and settled down. Again, we talked, and yes, army stuff... (seriously, there's nothing much to talk about after being locked up in Tekong for 3 months)... Sat down, drank, talked, for an hour odd and decided to go home... Then this Deren keep 'jio-ing' me to go drink... At first, I was bladdy tempted, but my stomach felt wierd after consuming this 'chocolate chip frappucino', gosh... Was 'ah-ing' all the way home... haha...
Conclusion, we talked and drank more than we did anything today!! haha...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Went for a run this morning... 7.2km... Shag... Legs didn't feel as 'strong' as before; not sure why though... Felt that I was easily out-of-breathe too... *shake head*
Oh, was looking through my song library yesterday and came across a song a friend of mine sent me. (Can't rmb which fren, so guys, if you know you sent this song to me, let me know!! hahaha) The thing is, it's rather sweet so I went to look up the lyrics, and I thought it's fits quite nicely to the 'heart issue' which I'm amusingly troubled with.
Drift Away (by Dobie Gray):
Day after day I'm more confused
But I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain…now ain't that a shame
[Chorus]
Oh gimme the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away
Gimme the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll and drift away
Beginning to think that I'm wasting time
And I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
Now it's up to you…to carry me through
[Chorus]
And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitars coming through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy you've given me
I want you to know I believe in song
Rhythm, rhyme and harmony
They've helped me along…they're making me strong
I didn't finish what I said yesterday, so here goes the finishing...
Wanted to talk to him since we never spoke much since the day he joined the ensem. Was rather surprised I had a little talk with some people, perhaps too much influence from Andrew...
Went back to Klavierensemble today... Was playing around with Matthew, on the keyboard and off the keyboard (fibua) haha...
Was supposed to meet him and Edmund for a movie, but I missed my bus and we were late, so, we ended up at Macdonald's for tea-break.
So apologetic towards Stallone... Promised to meet him up this week but totally forgot all about it... Sorry...
Have you ever felt like talking to someone but that someone show you the reluctance to talk? Feel so screwed...
I was browsing through and came across a friend's account... Somehow after looking and reading through, I got this sour feeling... It always strikes me, and this time it struck hard, real hard... The reluctance to forget hasn't helped at all in feeling better. I thought I have forgotten, but it becomes apparent to me I've never really been successful in it...Gosh, it felt damn bad...Suddenly all the memories fall back in place, like a jigsaw with all the pieces placed together, and events in that whole period of time ran through my mind unconciously with images of joyous moments printing hard; right smack in the face.Whenever I see my platoon mates with their gfs' photos stuck onto their cupboards, there's always this qn that they and I ask myself all the time, 'where's yours?'... Yet I was never determined to find one. They say it's a source of motivation... "To defend the country" not quite, but to protect the people you love. You look at the photos everytime you come back from a tough training and you tell yourself 'yes, it's worth it!'. But for those who we call them 'lone rangers', they just suck their thumb and subtract it from 'number of days left to ORD'.Had had dreams of reconcilation those past few days 3 months before. The frequency got higher, but mind you, unconciously... Dreams are always the opposite of the reality. Perhaps I was to be told a message, 'hopeless'. How perfect it would be if I never let her go.________________________________________________________________
Cute dog? haha... He's a white German Shepard... Just got him last week... 3 months old... Oh, I changed my blog song to "Auld Lang Syne", supposedly for BMT... But now, I guess 'she' would be the secondary reason. It's gonna be a goodbye forever.
Yes! POP!!! haha.. Finally, 3 months over... Mixed feelings though... The bond over 3 months is like damn strong? You see each other everyday, yes, both in the toilet and outside toilet (haha...), you 'fuck' each other, and get 'fucked' together everyday... Had a chalet for the platoon on Wednesday... That'd would be the conclusion for BMT 03/07... We were drinking like crazy; basically some of us got drunk, and the others were damn high, and before that, we were cam whoring... Of course, soccer and swimming... Calling our commanders not by 'sgt' or 'sir', but by their names... haha... For some of us, this break is gonna be a temporary break-away, and for most of us, it's gonna be a goodbye forever... Can't help by not holding back the tears... Big events we went through together; the 24km route march, IPPT, Field Camp, SIT Test, Range, Handgrenade... Cleaned rifles together, had our OC night done together... And yes, not forgetting that crazy Recruits' evening... haha... One of my best laughs this year... Gosh... That's Pegasus Platoon 2 for me... Definitely grown up through this BMT, roughly prepared for the next phase of training in the new vocation... Don't ask me if it's time for a girlfriend. My answer is still no.
What's that?
*ahem ahem*
having a little sore throat because of all the junk food I gobbled down last night... haha... we booked the lecture theatre and had a 'party' there... haha... shoik!
my BMT journey is coming to an end... all i can say is, I had fun, but I hope for more regimentation, in preparation for the journey after BMT...
This week nothing much, Games Day, 24km route march, and GP rehearsals... haha... And they are all desperate to meet me up... Haha...
Had our 24km route march on Wednesday... Wasn't surprised that I completed it... haha... Had preventions already; ankle guards, plasters, socks... haha... still, i kena heat rashes... The walk wasn't that bad, although I had a headache halfway through, but panadols solved the problem... Quite a memorable walk...
Had grad parade rehearsals in the days that followed... Haiz, bo liao...
Oh... My company, Pegasus, drill squad got 2nd in position, we lost to Ulyses... Matthew, we beat Ninja... haha... And as a reward for 2nd position, our OC gave us half a day off! haha...
*drum roll*
it's me, back home again! booked out saturday afternoon, after my IPPT... I passed, so it's a relieve... I think I broke my record for 2.4km again... should be less than 9.22 mins...
Moreover, i completed my SOC test too! haha... 2 tests down in a week, shoik! i went eccentric after my IPPT... haha... damn happy... somemore, met up with Edmund for concert... haha... the last time I went to a concert was like, what, 3 months ago? haha...
heard from Matthew that Klavierensemble is having a concert. that's quite a piece of a good news...
one should learn to appreciate another. But thank God he chose not to stay, because it's a waste of his time...
Received a bad news from Timothy just now... My condolences... Sudden news... haiz...
And now, for today's concert... haha... it was alright, i think... Tiempo played alright, SSO is better... Their first piece was, I would say, better than previous pieces of the same mood. Unfortunately, we left after intermission, because the next half of the programme is a 50 min work... I doubt I would be able to stay awake... haha...
Went for supper at HK cafe... haha... Then home sweet home...
Alright, going to sleep now... body aching from all the drill squad practice... Gosh... I hope we win... haha...
