A half-dead Blog collecting Digital Dust
May/100
A lot has change since I last post. Obviously NS is sapping away all the time I usually spend doing practically-nothing-and-update-the-blog-once-in-a-while. I just came back from Taiwan for “holiday” and can you believe I spend only 10,000NT (S$450) 1 month in Taiwan. Unbelievable!? Taiwan holiday? Ha-ha
A little update about what I went through so far. It seemed that the last post I was talking about Armor Live Firing. Those were during the early stages of my Armor Conversion Course. Then we had the CAT (Combine Armed Term) where we (those who went through SISPEC) gathered together for a Passing-Out-Parade.
CAT period was really the best time we had in NS. We wake up late. Walk (not march) lazily to the cookhouse for our breakfast. Return to bunk. Continue sleeping… The following week, we returned to Armor and prepare for (gulp*) field camp. Right after field camp is… Taiwan “holiday”… OMGosh. 1 month “holiday”!?!? I sure missed home and Sandra (^-^)
The grand finale of Armor Conversion Course is our other POP, codename: Open House (Don’t be so formal, come and chill and hang around and look see look see).
“Don’t bring too many people,” and so they said.
“If everyone bring more than 2 people, there will not be enough seats…blah blah blah…”
“I will do random check to see if YOU GUYS bring more than 2 parents/gf/bf. No choice, we have to control the crowd… oink* oink* oink*…”
Let’s work out the formula of the turnout :- (Total number of parent expected to come)*2 – [Unforeseen circumstances + Not compulsory + Early saturday morning + YAAE (Yet-Another-Army-Event) + Can't decide who to bring (might as well don't bring any)] = FULL HOUSE!!! = Those who bring any more than 2 person will BE PUNISHED!!!
They are RIGHT! Oh man! Some of parents will not have seats and have to stand outside =(
Don’t messed with the Inciks. Confinement comes easy, and go… minus 1 weekend.
“We the soldier… marching in… lalalala… Eh wait! Why are there so many empty seats? Wait! The auditorium is half-filled only!? Must be my eyes playing trick on me. The Inciks are never wrong.”
Well… It’s good. At least no marching under the hot sun and turn ‘chao tar’.
And my blog always ends with a Bang, don’t they?
Boo! We are the Retards!

A rare update
Jan/100
Being in army, really deprived me from the outside world. I can’t surf net like I used to or chat with my friends thru msn.
Blogging content is also very limited as everything that happen here is considered classified.

National Service (NS)…
Jul/090
… is the name given to the compulsory conscription in Singapore of all male Singaporean citizens and second-generation permanent residents upon reaching the age of 18. They serve a two-year period as Full Time National Servicemen (NSFs) in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), Singapore Police Force (SPF), or the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).
This is it guys. I am going to be enlist this thursday. Going to Pulau Tekong Camp for my BMT (Basic Military Training). Went out with dear today to get my army supplies but we end up spending most of my money on r_ _ _s (but its nice, and worth it =D).
People have being asking me what I am feeling going to be enlist soon, so I shall answer it here, once and for all (or for those who had no chance to ask). The past few days, I would have probably answer people that I 过一天，算一天 (live one day, count one day). I have nothing positive to look forward to. Only set short goals for that day, like probably I would go out with dear, or do some reading or learning.
Now as the time of enlistment draws near, I find myself thinking more. BMT will definitely be draining me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. What if my body can’t take the intense training? What if my mind is not strong enough to endure? What if I start thinking of friends, families and dear? Would I still stay close to God?
I am also worried now about my dear. I am not someone who had much worries. But after what she told me yesterday, I kinda got drown in EMOness again(ok, for a short moment only =P). We will pull through =D
To switch my mood back, need to find some happy song to listen to. Search thru the list in iTune. A-ha!
And what nice way to end a post then a happy song, “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz.
