Another week has passed. Gonna be booking in again in an hour time. Last week was quite cool. 4km route march in mopp4 then 2km mask run. Siao bo. Me and zhaodong are the only pair to catch up with front scout, but im like one of the last for mask run. LOL. Our 'father', course commander is back from whatever he was doing the last few weeks, so our lives in camp are getting a bit more regimental. Learnt how to drive some mini-van thing too. Wasn't too confident with all the s-course and reverse parking, etc at first. But lucky nothing cocked up for me. So i passed the lil driving test. But then again, whole course only 1 guy failed. Lol. Then had dinner with the course and our commanders at sakura buffet at woodlands. This is like what, my fourth? fifth? time eating there already. Most of the commanders just kept to themselves, only 2 of 'em were chatting with us. =/ Overall fun still lar.

I'm hooked on to NGS2 on my ps3 currently. Hooked onto guitar hero too. But weekends so lil time to play. =( Still gotta study for stupid tests which are sooo time consuming. Oh well, at least i got day off this coming friday! Wahaha. Maybe going back cjc again to look look. Iuno, get ivan along and ask him pass me my freaking ds before i forget that i own a ds. LOL.

Here i was thinking the ris low thingy will finally die down since the new miss s'pore world is found. But see what i found:

Ris low thinks that stealing is fun! HAHAHA hilarious. I wonder how long more she wants to stay in headline news.

Im addicted to Creed's songs. Some are reli emo, but nice! "Im six feet from the edge and im thinking, maybe six feet ain't so far down~~" Being addicted to songs is good. Just keep thinking about that song in your head while doing route march, and you forget all the pain and fatigue. =D



Before i forget, happy b'dae ching =)

Heh i havent been updating much. Just a short one for now.

Good to know mel and th are having fun in china, though its such a longgg trip.

Earthquakes felt in singapore, but NOTHING was felt in my camp. Disappointing =/

Took me months to realise an interesting note on my shampoo bottle. Goes something like "Attention, this product gives your hair such confidence that it attracts many ladies. Beware." LOL. Something like that, cant rmb the exact phrasing. The bottle is in camp now, i'll rmb to post a pic next time.

I cant wait for 2010 to come! FFXIII looks dam cool, FF Versus XIII looks even more freaking awesome. =D

Gonna meet my class later for dinner and prolly pub-ing? The girls dun wanna go clubbing, oh well.

I hope ivan turns up and returns me my ds. It's been months since i last saw my ds.

I think yj pass out alr?!? I cant wait for my turn. Only left about 6 weeks more to my 3SG. Rawr.

Route march in mopp4 was cool. =)

Just Listen

Update update. I reli did get into CBRD, together with quite a few ppl from my section. But ANG ZHENYI DIDNT GET IN! ZOMG! For the first time in 5 months, we're seperated. Wah lao eh, feels as though i just broke up with my gf or something. LOL. And according to him, bridging sucks. =/ Oh well, i just hope life gets better for him soon.

As for me, CBRD training the last few days was..quite okay. Lectures most of the time, and the stuff we learn is insanely a lot. Chemical defence is so chemistry(duh), biological is so biology(duh), and radiological is so physics. Wtf sia, totally like studying for 'A' levels again. And to make things worse, the theory tests are much stricter than anything i've had till now. Fail once got retest. But failing retest will get you out-of-course. O.O Hell, every time we got time, my bunk mates will be there reading notes. Zomg scary.

Oh and the bunks are ridiculous. Super small, dusty bunks with double-deckered beds, shared by eleven people. Baths got no doors, theres only one water cooler in the whole building. Terrible living conditions. =/ Good thing is, our commanders focus a lot on fitness, 5bx with run every morning, doing chin-ups every time before meals. Okay lar, nothing much to mention, 'cept we played bball while wearing gas mask ytd. Quite shag, but dam fun. Heh.

My PC guitar hero is sold! And i got the ps3 guitar hero! YAY! But its not something i can play 24/7, fingers too pain. In fact, i stop after 1 hr of gameplay each time. Its been fun so far, 'hard' difficulty isnt exactly v hard, i think imma move on to 'expert' soon. =D

Since monday is public holiday, we got 3 days break including today. My parents took this chance to go overseas and have a holiday AGAIN. They're crazy. Everytime got chance, go for holiday by themselves and leave me and my bro at home. But not like it matters lar, i also dont reli wanna go. I got no idea where they are now, but its only 2 days 1 night, so oh well. And my dad is hilarious, sent me and my bro a msg saying:

"hi, kai and rui, we just hd dinner. A lot of insects. Take care. Mum Dad"

HAHAHA i couldnt stop laughing when i saw the msg. It was okay at first, i understood what he meant, that there are a lot of insects at the place they are. But reading the msg again, he sounded as though he ate a lot of insects for dinner! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Funny.

Oh ya i just noticed the ps3 trophies thingy after i added japhet as fren. Hell he got what, 100+ bronze trophies and some silver/gold ones. Hes a level 5 trophy collector, while im only level 2 -.- Imma try and get more trophies on my GH5. Heh. Oh and to all my frens with ps3, add me ps3 fren at 'StrikeDKaiZ'. Or just leave ur PSN name on my tagboard or something and i'll add you. =D

Lazy to blog much. I got my blue beret already. BTW-STW course is ending tmr. Gonna get posting tmr, either EOD or CBRD or Bridging. Out of 56 ppl, only 30+ going EOD/CBRD. Tues no need go camp, but got something arranged for us at chevrons, iuno what. Wed book in early morning to go seletar camp. Continue my boring life.

Anyway, im selling my pc guitar hero for 90 bucks. Or maybe cheaper. I wanna get some money and buy guitar hero for my ps3. Not gonna buy the whole set with mic, drum, etc. Just guitar. Kthxbai.

Okayy now for a proper post before i book in later. Life in ETI is...tougher than I thought. As in the regimental is dam strict, compared to sispec at least. Im in the same bunk as my long-time buddy jon ang again. HAHAHA. The whole BTC-STW only has 2 platoons, im in plt 2, while raphael and sinyean are in plt 1.

All of us feel asif we're back to being recruits. We get scolded and punished for not singing while running. Hell, how much and how loud do they expect us to sing while we're running 4.5km? I was at the back, trying to lead songs all the way. Me and a few others reli try to lead until du lan liao, come back still kena scolded. Then water parade must say 7 core values/ specialist's creed. Wth sia. And we have dam lil admin time. I hardly have any time to stay in the bunk since first parade till last parade. And we always have activities until 9+pm. The bathing water is soooo freaking cold that i dread taking a bath even though im all sweaty and stuff. Of course, i still bathe. But ZOMG 2 platoons use 2 toilets for bathing. There's ALWAYS a long queue for the bath. So, 2 choices, either really rush up, strip, get bathing things and be first, or relax, wait for everyone to finish then go bathe. I've been doing the latter. Too lazy to rush.

And im the armskote 2ic now. Sian. Picked by random, i was thinking i wont so suay one. 46 ppl, choose 2 for armskote ic and 2ic. Somehow, i just kena. Lol suay. Had a stupid highway code with no prior experience, no revision or anything. So obviously, i failed to meet the 90% mark. Only got 64% the first try, 86% the second try, then finally PASS 90% at 3rd try. LOL. Anyway, life there is quite boring, lectures most of the time. Then lecture finish, go practical. It's been all about demolition this week, i wonder if we're doing something else next week.

For the first time in a long time, im actually feeling emo that i have to book in again. Iuno, i thought i should have gotten used to army life by now. Maybe its just the sudden change in regimental discipline thats hard for me to swallow. Im reli glad at least jon ang is in the same bunk as me again. Things are gonna be that much tougher if i dont have any close frens with me in ETI. But then again, i bet it's the same everywhere else. Heard from ching that boonping is saying air force is also dam strict. ASLC cant be any better, with darence wanting to ooc already. YJ's going to taiwan for 4 weeks armor training. Bahh, i reli envy hou cheng and jer who're gonna become 3SG next week or something. =/

Okayy enough of complaints. At least there's something to be happy about. I'm only gonna stay in ETI-BTC-STW until 14th Sept, which is when we will have completed our basic combat engineer course. Will be going back to PLC for beret ceremony on that day. Then post out again after that. Most likely CBRE at seletar camp, if i do well for the interview next week. I just hope life in cbre gets at least a lil better than this. Bleh.

My email inbox is flooded with "*name* confirmed you as a friend in Facebook". LOL.

Okayy i got my facebook up. Still dam empty, but better than nothing right. Heh. Imma take my time to update slowly lar. Bookouts are too precious to spend too much time in front of the comp. LOL.

3 ppl voted for me to set up a facebook acct! ZOMG i just remembered telling Japhet i'll set up a facebook acct and leave it there, but i didnt. LOL. Okay okay i'll prolly set up a facebook acct when i book out next week, if the total votes reach 5! Quite impossible i think, so few ppl reads my blog. I dont even know who are the 3! Hahaha.

Lemme guess, the 3 are: Bk? X'tine? Yong Jian? Tag in my board if i got it right! Heh.

Booking in tmr. I always knew nee soon camp wasnt v far from my house. I just went to check out the route, i'll say i only need 15 mins bus ride to reach. LOL. But hell, so many things to bring back tmr. Ahh.

Ohh did i mention? My mum is suddenly dam ON about how my house looks. She thinks it's reli messy. So over the course of this week, she threw away my sofa bed (im using my original sofa bed now), bought a new shelf to put in my room, bought a new tv shelf in the living room and threw away the old one, then bought a new single-seat sofa to put in living room. -_____________________________-" I duno what came to her all of a sudden, but she's even having plans to buy a new house now. She just told my dad that they should find time to go look at new houses. Of course, we're not gonna sell my current house...now. Wait till 2015, got MRT and sports complex in bukit panjang, then sell. PROFIT. $.$ Oh well, i dont mind moving house actually, i think the house is getting a bit too small. But nahh, not gonna be anytime soon.

I finally ate at Kai's Fan Club (KFC) ytd for dinner. First time eating KFC ever since NS started. LOL. Then had buffet at Sakura for lunch today. TOTALLY FATTENING. Im so gonna die during PTs in camp. =/

Wish me good luck for cbre! Do everything in gas mask, even bball. LOL.
