Juice Bash
Finally got a chance 2 step in2 Zouk & it's for free. Been wanting 2 see wat it's like in � clubbing scene, 2 get at least an experience so tht i won't be tht "suaku". Well, my feelings abt it: it's wild, crazy & you jus hve 2 let yourself free, but it's not my kind of thing. Mayb it's becauz of � music, tht's why i didn't quite like it there. Besides, there were hordes of peeps yesterday, since it was a bash for Juice Magazine & 1st 500 entries free. We queued frm like 9pm all � way till 10pm before getting in & jus for your info when we reached there at abt 8.45pm, there were already many people.

Got 2 see VJ Belinda Lee, Fiona Xie & Apple Hong, � former 2 being � guest stars for � night. I can quite conclude tht clubbing is really not me, not wat i wld like 2 do. Rather go 2 a coffee house or a jazz bar wth a few of my frens 2 hve a chat, drinking some nice coffee or some alcoholic drinks. Partly becauz of � crowd & � music tht was being played, mayb tht's why i didn't quite like it there. Nevertheless, it wasn't as complicated as i expect it 2 be, nor was it a very bad experience. Going for it once a while wld still be alright, but i can't imagine how 1 cld go 2 such places once every week, like one of my senior camp mates. My bank account wld be "0" before my nxt payroll arrives, i tell ya.

Saw 3 Saints down there, whom one of them is my classmate. One of them, a gal, got pretty drunk tht she was like being harrassed by 2 guys, at least tht's wat i think. � reason for � uncertainty is becauz she was wth tht 2 guys right frm � start, so i wasn't really sure whether they were bringing her out of � place or they were trying 2 take advantage of her. Other than tht, didn't quite see anything tht disgusted me, so it was quite alright.

Didn't stay at Zouk � entire night, went 2 Phuture, but it was too crowded tht all we cld do was 2 stand at � entrance waiting for � rest of � gang who went in, 2 come out. Decided 2 leave � place, since we weren't really enjoying ourselves, for supper at S-11 outside National Library. I was totally famished by then, since i didn't hve dinner at all, even had stitches while i was dancing. After tht, it was home which i reached at ard 2am. Am at home on a Sat doing nothing right now. Feel like heading out, but got no company 2 ask out. I'm bored......

� most western side of Singapore
Tuas. Tht's where it is & you peeps must be wondering why i went there right? Well was kinda dragged in by my camp mate 2 do some "Sai Kang" for my unit, which involves travelling all � way 2 tht place. Goin g for it has its good & bad points. Good thing being i get 2 get out of � camp 2 take a breather & tht it kinda took up my entire day, allowing me 2 escape frm � workshop as well as being arrowed 2 do tis & tht. Ok, i knw it sounds contradicting since i was being arrowed 2 do tis. � bad thing is tht i had 2 carry loads of stuff under � hot weather which meant tht i perspired like shit while doing so. I suffered injury frm it as well, due 2 � reckless driving.

Alright, � reason i was there was simple, it was 2 dump all � unwanted stuff my camp was throwing away due 2 a Logistics Readiness Inspection (LRI) tht is coming up & incinerating it. Yup, tht means tht i was at � incineration plant at Tuas. It was an eye opener for me since i've nvr been 2 an incineration plant & to such a western part of Singapore. Tuas is really a place full of factories wth temperatures higher than normal i tell ya, at least tht's wat i think. I guess it's becauz of � lack of greeneries tht's why � higher temperature. Tht aside, � incineration plant was 7 storeys high (as wat i've been told), wth 2 huge chimneys reaching high up into � sky. � place was pretty stinky too, since almost anything & everything was being dumped there, frm rubbish to tyres to furnitures to scrap metals etc.

Shall describe how � inside looks like 2 � best of my ability, since i'm not really very good in describing: Upon driving up 2 � dumping place & registration, we went into one of � bays where � vehicle cld be parked. � bays all lead 2 a common dumping place, which was like a rectangular pit tht was pretty deep. All we need 2 do was 2 push everything out of � tunnel, � back facing � pit & they will automatically drop into it. Totally enjoyed dumping all � stuff tht we loaded onto � 5 tonne tunnel, it was like venting our anger while we were doing so. It took us a very short time to dump everything as compared 2 loading up. While loading � stuff was a hassle, dumping them was a breeze. H/e, was pretty afraid initially cauz once you fall into � pit, i don't think you wld ever get a chance 2 get out. Fortunately, they did provide us wth detachable safety waist bands, for us 2 hook onto our vehicle 2 prevent us frm falling into � pit

Oh & did you knw tht we wld actually hve 2 pay 2 dump watever we want 2 there, depending on how heavy � load is? For my case, we paid $145, which i thought was pretty expensive. Think SAF really knws how 2 waste money man. There are actually certain things tht cld be sold 2 � Karang Guni 2 earn a little bit of money, instd of jus throwing it away & having 2 pay in order 2 do so. Think they cld hve save up tht amt of money 2 increase � pay, instd of wasting it away like tht. Am very tired right now, wld be heading to bed now since there's nothing much 2 do. 2 more days 2 go......

RehiZ!
Wow, jus realised tht it's been a pretty long time since i've posted an entry. Not tht i'm busy, jus tht it's been a tiring week for me & i'm too tired 2 post anything. Besides, my Bro has been bringing his frens over, hogging onto � com playing C & C. Alright, jus let me update you peeps on wat's going on.

Well i'm a little more tanned now after standing in � sun for a few hrs 4 � parade rehearsal. But suffering frm � side effects right now, my skin's peeling off slowly & my body's temperature seems 2 be higher than normal. Guess it's becauz i've not sun tanned for a period of time now, tht's why i get sun burn easily. Tht aside, hvn't been doing anything in camp for last wk. There weren't any wpns coming in which was pretty slack except for � occasional "Sai Kang" tht we had 2 do. Had a Company Cohesion Night on Thurs 2 celebrate � Heavy Arms side for passing out all their guns & a Battalion Happy Hour on Fri. This meant tht we were forced 2 stay back, which also meant tht i got home late, esp on Fri since i helped out my camp mates in clearing up � area. Celebrated Gavin's birthday on Sat. It was a more toned down & mellow celebration as compared 2 last time. There's less pple & we didn't do much. I suppose as age catches up on us, � celebration is of less hype wth fewer pple ard. Nevertheless, it's still pretty enjoyable jus tht everyone seems a little tired.

Had dinner at Spagheddies @ Paragon Extension, which i thought was pretty nice. Ordered their Chicken Scallopini(think tht's � name if i'm not mistaken), which tasted a little bit like Carbonara w/o � egg yolk. It was pretty filling as well, wth 3 big slices of chicken. Oh forgot 2 mention tht we saw Aileen Tan wth her family. She wasn't really wearing any make-up, which makes her look pretty old though she's really old. Seems like i've been seeing stars pretty frequently tis few wks.

After much consideration, decided 2 buy Gavin a small cake frm Angie's Choice, since he said tht a birthday w/o a cake wld be pretty inauspicious or sth like tht. Had it at Lido, which was pretty nice, not as sweet as othr cakes found in � mkt. Had a great time chit chatting wth each othr, b4 deciding 2 watch The Rundown, which was a total flop. I was pretty tired after waking up 0515hrs in � morning for tht stupid parade rehearsal, hence i slept for � 1st quarter of � movie b4 Gavin nudged me & ticked me off a little. H/e, he was so tired himself tht he fell aslp for � last half of � movie, even worst off than me, haha. But i guess he was really really very tired, frm his looks as well as how unwilling he was 2 let us go 2 his house, citing � reason tht he needed 2 get some serious rest. Well guess going 2 � bridging unit is really tht xiong huh?

Forgot 2 mention abt sth tht happened tht night which kinda made me feel uneasy & uncomfortable. Since it was like an hr b4 our movie begins, they decided 2 head down 2 Orchard Towers 2 hve a look at � night scene there. I've seen it b4 during my days at Rocky Masters, those tranvestites, hookers & foreigners who never fail 2 visit this place each night. Initially i thought they jus wanted 2 take a walk outside 2 hve a look & tht's it. H/e, Lionel started 2 head inside, bringing us closer 2 � pubs. I was in total shock cauz i nvr wanted 2 step into a place like tht. I had no choice but 2 follow since most of them were already following him inside. I really didn't like tht place & all i cld think of was 2 get out of it asap. It wasn't some place tht i wld go 2 but i hve 2 admit tht it was an eye opener, seeing wat really goes on inside. There are bar gals standing near � escalators trying 2 bring in as many customers as possible wth their looks. There were some who look absolutely disgusting but were dressed skimpily nevertheless. Saw tis guy who was holding � hands of 2 gals, leading them 2 � taxi stands. Wonder where they were heading to...Tis was practically � scene there, i guess.

Mayb it's becauz i'm not exposed 2 such scenes, tht's why � freak out as well as � awkward feelings. But if given a chance, i wld nvr wnt 2 step into such a place again. It's really pretty complicated. Wonder whether � clubbing scene wld be � same or wld it be less complicated? Think i'll find out tis Fri where i'll be heading 2 Zouk wth my camp mates. Really wonder wat it's like down there, whether i'll like it & enjoy it. Guess it's time for me 2 explore.

Gone
� money's gone, i mean � $100 tht i cld hve obtained if i got silver 4 my IPPT. Running was � only station tht prevented me frm getting my hands on � $100. I did try my best, i hafta say, considering � fact tht i hvn't recovered fully frm my injured ankle. Was a real pity, but i've gotten over it, i suppose.

Getting more tired as each day goes by & as a result always turning in early 2 get more slp. H/e, humans can nvr get enough of slp, at least tht's wat i think. I always wake up lethargic wth � feeling of being absent frm work. Nevertheless, i hve 2 drag myself outta bed, hve no choice. Hve been returning home late since yesterday & it's gonna be � same on Thurs & Fri. Yesterday, i reached home at abt 2100hrs due 2 my COS Duty, had 2 wait for my Captain 2 leave b4 i cld lock up � workshop. And since there was tis big shot who came 2 my camp yesterday, he had 2 stay back late 2 entertain � big shot & as a result, i had 2 stay back as well. As 4 2dy, had my parade rehearsal. On Thurs, it'll be parade rehearsal + my company's cohesion night, some sort of celebration. As 4 Fri, it'll be my battalion's happy hour. And i hafta say tht it's agst our wills 2 go for these events, we didn't volunteer ourselves 2 go, we are being forced 2. H/e if thy don't do tis, i don't think anybody will go for it.

Beginning 2 dislike my unit now, realised tht there's more than meets � eye. � claws seem 2 be coming out & politics nvr seem 2 be absent. Really don't like 2 work in an environment where there's politics, but i guess it's inevitable. A pc of advice though, really don't judge a book by it's cover, you'll nvr knw wat's inside. Don't try 2 be too hardworking & don't ever try 2 act smart, it'll land you in more trouble. Listen but not spread � gossip ard, you'll nvr knw who will be listening 2 each & every word you say. These are wat i learnt in camp. Doesn't sound 2 gd huh? Well � situation is like tht down there. Jus hoping tht my days go by more quickly so tht i can get out of there.

Bowling
It's been a long time since i've played it, but i still like it as much as i did last time. It was my Battalion Cohesion Day which was being held at a bowling alley at a club. Think they shld hve more of such events on Sat instd of making us go back 2 camp 2 do nothing. Had a chance 2 play up to 1 3/4 games b4 someone announced over � pa sys for us 2 stop our bowling & i was at my peak during my 2nd game. Wat a spoil sport man. H/e, i do think it's quite a waste of time, cld hve slept in for a couple more hrs.

Saw Jamie Yeo 2dy, for � 2nd time. It wasn't me who noticed her, it was my fren who told me abt it. We were waiting 2 cross � road heading 2wards Cineleisure frm Heeren, when my fren told me tht she was standing beside me. Took a glance & it was really her. Didn't really dare 2 stare at her since she was at such a close distance, jus rolled my eyes 2 � side 2 look. Guess she was late for her stint at Cineleisure since she was running across � road. I don't think she's really very pretty considering how thick her make-up was. But she's really very skinny & busty i must say. She was wearing tis tight fitting Perfect 10 white T-shirt wth jeans tht were pretty tight as well cauz a lump of fats cld be seen bulging. Guess she doesn't really hve a toned tummy i suppose. Still remember � 1st time i saw her, which was at IKEA, jus thought tht her body was unproportionate then.

Didn't do anything much 2dy, jus walked & shopped ard town. Had Breeks buffet for dinner which was pretty expensive but really filling, though we went only for like 3 rds of food. Guess there aren't much variety 2 choose frm tht's why we didn't go for more rds. Besides � dishes were pretty meaty which makes us full more easily. Wanted 2 catch Underworld but � timings were too late. Mayb will watch it tmr or mayb some other time.

Am yawning now as i'm typing tis, guess it's time 2 slp. Hve been sleeping pretty early recently due 2 my exhaustion as well as my stooooooopid modem. Sometimes it's able 2 work, but at other times, it jus refused 2. Got pretty fed-up abt it at times. Think it's time 2 change 2 a better modem, which means more money 2 be spent, SiGnzzzzz......Feeling so poor right now amongst my frens considering how little my pay is as compared 2 them. Sometimes i think i loose out more 2 them since their pay is higher & they only use it during � weekends or when they need 2 buy some food stuffs 2 eat in camp.Unlike me hve 2 pay for my transport fees etc. Can't keep my eyes open for long, gotta go 2 slp. CiAoZzzz!

New Kids On The Block
Had a bunch of new guys fresh frm their BMT, some frm Tekong while othrs are frm Mono-intakes of � Armour Unit. Reminded me when i was fresh out of Tekong, where i'm botak & tanned. Remembered � feeling of being pushed ard & doing all � "Sai Kang" tht � officers told us 2 do. Absolutely hate it, but we hve no choice, we are new & hafta listen 2 instructions. I sympathise wth them, since i've been thru part of wat they're going thru now. It's like standing � whole day there, waiting for instructions on wat 2 do, it's really darn boring. If we told � officers tht we hve nothing 2 do, they'll bound 2 find sth for us 2 do. H/e, i hve 2 admit tht having them around saves us, � new birds there, frm doing some of � work. So it's not tht bad having them ard afterall, hehe. Evil me....

Getting � hang of repairing wpns. I guess more practise in tis case really helps you 2 be more familiar wth � wpns. Quite happy tht i'm getting a little confident unlike at � beginning, but i'm still pretty afraid of doing certain things cauz don't wanna get scolded. Jus don't like � feeling of being reprimanded. H/e if you don't try, you'll nvr learn, at least tht's wat i think. Tmr's my IPPT & i don't think i'll be able 2 get my $100, due 2 my left ankle, which hasn't fully recovered. It's getting worst in fact. Even my right knee is feeling a little bit pain right now since there was a period where i was very dependent on my right leg as i walk. Nevertheless, i'll try my best tmr. Hopefully it rains, tht's � best thing.

1st Medical Appointment
Yupz, my 1st ever MA, which is a good thing since i work only half-day. Besides tht, i had IPPT training tis morning, which is even better since i'll get 2 rest till 1000hrs. And since my MA is at 1315hrs, i get 2 leave during lunch time at 1200hrs. Tis meant tht i only worked 2 hrs for 2day, yiPpeeeeee!!! Unfortunately, it won't be tht frequent since � nxt one wld be 6 wks later. If only i had MAs every wk, it would make � wk seem shorter & i'll get 2 get away frm work, mayb meeting up wth my frens 2 go out or sth like tht. I guess sometimes when you hve � chance, you'll try your best 2 get out of camp.

Anyways, went for my MA & got anti-biotics + some cream for my acne problem. Was pretty demoralising to be going 2 a place like tht, it jus makes me feel like only people like me wld hve 2 head there. Besides tht, after seeing � doctor, had 2 be reviewed by a consultant in-charge, whereby i had 2 be a guinea pig for one of their new doctors in practice. There were altogether 4 pple in � room, one was � doctor, one was � consultant, one was � new doctor & there was tis western lady as well. After � doctor who reviewed me presented my case 2 them, � rest of them started 2 come nearer 2 hve a look at my acne. After tht, � consultant was like pointing at certain parts of my face & asking � new doctor 2 describe wat he saw on my face 2 him later. Honestly, it didn't really feel good letting so many pple staring at your acne, it's not sth tht i wld flaunt you see. Nevertheless, looking on � bright side, i get 2 go home early & hopefully � anti-biotics + cream will help, provided tht i'm consistent in consuming & applying them.

My ankle is beginning 2 hurt again, seems like i've worsen it's condition. Don't think i'll be able 2 maintain my silver for my IPPT. Well there goes my $100, i guess. SiGnzZzz......Oh guess wat, i'll be playing bowling tis Sat, YeAh!!! cauz it's my battalion's cohesion day. It' been a long time since i've played bowling, guess most of my throws will be down � drain, hahaz. I think it's a gd thing 2 hve such events going on, at least it's much better than going back 2 camps on Sat & not doing anything. Think they shld hve more of such events.

Running nose
AhCee! Excuse me there. Have been feeling a little flu-ish since tis morning. Guess it's � air-con, resulting in my morning sighness, which seems 2 be pretty lasting for 2dy. Anyway, it was a pretty boring Sat since i didn't go out at all. It's been like tht for a few weeks already & i feel tht i'm wasting my weekends, which is why i always complain tht my weekends are too short. But even if i were 2 go out, there's nothing much tht i can do as well. It's always going 2 � same place & doing � same things, pretty monotonous don't you think? Oh well, wat 2 do, a boring person like me has no choice but 2 lead tht type of life. Gavin did asked me out though, 2 catch Infernal Affairs, but wasn't interested in tht show, hence turned him down.

Will be having my IPPT nxt thurs but seems like my ankle hasn't fully recovered yet. Instd, i can feel tht � injury is coming back, which is � last thing i wld wnt. Had nothing better 2 do hence i read my past entries right frm � beginning. Certainly brought back memories, though � period of time was only a short span of a few mths. Nevertheless, it's pretty fun 2 read back on wat you've written abt, tht's wat � archives is for i guess. Hopefully Blogger doesnt give me too much trouble otherwise i wld hve no idea how i'm gonna shift my archives 2 another server. Currently, i still HATE Blogger.

Not in � best of mood recently, having mixed up feelings abt certain stuff. Feeling lonely, helpless & lost. Dunno why i feel like tht also, since i'm indirectly torturing myself. But jus can't help feeling & thinking tht way .Guess i'm jus borned a loser, a loner & a weirdo. Dont even knw wat i'm typing right now makes sense or not. Haizzz....jus dont feel appreciated at all & dont like � feeling of being made used of. Are friends supposed 2 be like tht at all? At a loss of words already.........

Lousy & Tired
Lousy becauz i don't think i was of much help 2 my seniors 2dy. There were a whole load of weapons tht were sent 2 my place for repair 2dy, but i felt tht i didn't do anything much at all. � seniors did most of � work, while we new birds jus stood by them & watch them do their stuff. Occasionally, we wld help them get � tools tht they needed, tht's abt it. Jus wondering how we are gonna take over them, when our skills are not up to their's yet. I knw i can't compare wth them since they've been there for a longer period than me, h/e i jus can't help thinking tht i'm jus too lousy. Sometimes i hve � feeling tht � seniors wld rather do it themselves than leave it 2 us 2 settle it. Oh well, guess i'll jus hve 2 buck up then. Feeling really tired right now since i've jus finished doing my Guard Duty (lack of sleep) & standing all day, helping out wth � loads of weapons. Gonna head 2 bed, niGhtzZz...
