Ah it was so fun to come back from field camp and switching on my hp to see 10 smses, most of which were frens wishing me happy birthay... its nice to know that u are still remembered even tho we are confined to the monotomy of the army... thank you to everyone who remembered! it made my day...
so ya field camp, i was section commander(sec com)... carrying a 10+ kg sec com bag on top of my 15+ kg field pack, 5+ kg Load Bearing Vest (LBV), a 5kg rifle and on the later part of the field camp, a stretcher that felt like it weighed a ton... bah, 3 days of field camp - 2 days as sec com, 1 day as platoon medic. boy was it crazy... tio attacked by sand flies even tho i had mosquito netting over my face and neck, i woke up to scratch twice (once on my forehead and once on the right side of my neck) when i felt a zillion ants were swarming my face... SO ITCHY CAN ARRGH! like all the nimbling on ur skin can drive u nuts didnt have much sleep cuz me and my buddy took turns to man the signal set thru the nite...
finally got to meet up wif sher, who cabbed down from work in town (rich $$ hahahah) to join me for a cyclin session. wanted to show her changi business park but when we got there, the whole place like macham having countdown party, people walking everywhere and cars lined up the roads for kilometers... arrgh totally chaotic... then went to east coast and down to NSRCC, then we decided to take the sadisistically long route to SAF yatch club (its 5-10mins by car so u can imagine how far it was), then went around the airport perimeter b4 stopping by at changi village to catch the closing half of the euro match...
and yes of course, dearest adriene! =D wanted to go eat fish and co actually but then she's kinda saving up and i forgot that rich me could have treated her hahaha... oh well... so today (14 June) i got up at 0930 cuz we agreed to go out in the morning but then when it was about 10 plus and still no reply from driene... i asked alvin if i'd go by his place to borrow some bike mags, mind u they are not cheap at $12-15 a copy, and there's like 5 diff titles to buy every month muhahahaha! oh ya so i went and hung out in yishun till about 1330 then finally she called to say she just woke up... i said goodbye to alvin and made my way back to tampines and when i asked her where she was, she told me at like 1400 she was still at home talking on the phone... typically the blur gal i know hahahaha... so we finally went to subway and after i went to shop for stuff i needed to use in the army and she tagged along.. was so nice to rant with her after so long, wished we'd more time but i'd to rush back home to change into decent clothing for youth service...
boy it is a good idea to invite friends, then i wont have the temptation to pon cuz liek already arranged to meet them... a pity mr peng is busy with you know who and boon said he was busy only later late at nite when i was on my to dinner then he asked me out for a movie... sorry boy i no more energy after cheonging one whole day.. so ya it was nice to meet up with yun song after some time and i think he didnt really like the loud worship cuz although he was singing, he had his arms folded... gosh it was then that i remembered that i'd pray like crazy b4 i invite friends to come... a good thing there was this other guy form another region who was yun song's good friend, so he'd take the church bus back to his home in bukit batok. to end off the day, i ate at simpang bedok with the youth and wa la, li qin was there... so nice to see her there la! after the bunch of youth dispersed at tanah merah, i sent her home and ya then i went back home. so much for running around for one day! =D
and then dunno wad happened but i kenna ps by my family for my supposedly long ago already arranged lunch at fish and co... oh well, nvm sylvieyyy accompanied me in the whee! =D so long nvr catch up and talk nonsense with that crazy gal le haha... too bad jamesy could not join us cuz his parents wanted to celebrate fathers' day... =D thank you for the time sylvieyyyyyyyyyyyyy... =D
here's leaving you with adriene's post for MY BIRTHDAY. =D yes i know i shamelessly copied the html hahahaha dont kill me pls! =D
gone are the days were we'd wear ugly v-neck shirts
gone are the days you'll always wait for everyone to launch before you do
gone are the days where our coach would leave vandalisms on our boat
gone are days we'd be crazily retarded
gone on the days where we'd be willing to break the boat just to camwhore
and gone are the best days of my life in tpjc.
our rash guards and ugly shirts might be left at the back of our wardrobes untouched.
our skin might have turned white since the days we'd make ourselves vulnerable to skin cancer.
our very self entertaining breaks we've spent together are over.
and our times in tpjc sailing might just be a part of our memory now.
but the friendships we share is still very much alive.
especially for you and i.
HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY MY DEAR SHAUNNYPOOPOO! :D
have fun in field camp!
p.s, notice the colour? (:
ya havent blogged in a long time cuz for one i am too lazy and two i am most of the time in a super ultra uber bad mood when i come back on weekends... why? one word. army. oh well so i'll try to type from memory the meaningful events that occured in the month of may... acty i also dont wanna blog de, but when i read jean's blog and saw how much she just blurted out without a care all the emotions inside, boy i thought, that had to feel good... so ya... i apologise for the lack of pics, well cuz army guys dont get to carry camera hps into camp and i dont bother to change sim cards to another phone on weekends. =D
first up is college day. right after my 28km route march thru the nite, i booked out at 10am and rushed back home to bathe and change to a new set of uniform and then to school at i think 1 pm. was so happy to see joyce and catch up wif her once again, too bad forgot to take pic wif her haha... then also chatted wif all the teachers... and the chinese language teachers are forever calling me yoyo master cuz of the CNY performance i did with shan zheng haha... oh ya, and liyana, farah and melody were so sweet to volunteer to attend college day to watch me collect my prize haha... so glad to talk nonsense wif them once again and yes as usual, they bullied me by stealing my cap and running away wif it.
here's me chatting wif ms de souza. i dunno why we both look so ehhh...
and mr benjamin, valedictorian of tpjc 2008 and my btmc buddy. we both were on sick status during field camp so we built like 2 or 3 admin tentages together, slept in the same basha together and redug our shellscrapes together. i was on some serious 1337 medication and ben'd keep making fun of how i'd take 3-5s to respond to him each time he talked to me or asked to do something. and when i dug my shellscrape till i had a slight fever, ben dug the rest for me. that is my buddy!
and of course, the reason why i could go back to tpjc - collecting my distinguished service award for sailing on stage. and yep, my trademark smile. =D
then there was the trip to ikea with matilda. i cycled my lovely black haro and she bladed along... we took the park connector and i have to say i'm very impressed that she made it up the overhead bridge herself without a hitch from my bike... powerful la haha... but then! she forgot to bring a pair of slippers (u dont see ppl skating around in ikea on blades do u?) so as she waited outside giant i went shopping for girly slippers arrgh such a gayified exprience haha... after she got her slippers, we went to ikea for lunch, and boy was the place crowded man... had to wait like 15mins b4 we found a seat! one of us had to guard our long awaited for place so i did and so she went to buy the food... then she was so sweet to blanja me la, she didnt wanna accept payment from me... think i owe her one nice meal for the many times she bought me makan haha... so ya, it was nice hanging out wif my good fren after so long! =D
then during the last few weeks of my previous course, one day i had a nights out and chia jun happened to be taking his dad's car home so i hitched a ride... like a 30mins drive back to simei and later to go back another 30mins, leaving about an hour to slack at home haha... so then i was pleasantly suprised that dawn asked me if i wanna go cycling wif her... usually both of us will just be on our own computers minding our own business and i guess neither of us like talking to a distracted person... so ya although me and dawn only went to changi business park (the one around expo station) for about a 30min ride, it was nice to catch up wif her and just talk la... blame it on me but i dont like trying a second time when i get a negative response, well what i mean is that when i call home and just wanna complain about some stuff to her one night, she sounded not the least interested... i just swallowed my stress back up my throat and went to bed as pissed as ever and i made up my mind never again to call home to talk to her after kenna one more time like that make me only more pek chek...
then going to my present course really my mood super super pissed. no one week block leave that we were assured of, what a welcome rite. boy was i pissed at having to book on a sunday nite when the previous day i'd just marched 28km thru the nite. really really angry. anyway i was so fed up that i asked mummy to help me pack my bags. didnt wanna think of it or anything related to it and as a result, i only packed 1 set of uniform to camp... oh ya i only found out about the 2 week confinement when i reached camp, or i'd be more angry at home. so ya 2 weeks on 1 set of uniform. in desparation i quickly tried to think of my super good frens who'd b willing to make the crazy trip down to my camp (which is prob like 3h of their time to and fro in total). Xian was in aussie so ya cannot, dawn foul enuf mood and stressed enuf in sch so nvm, adriene having exams so better not ba. so then my two buddies peng and boon lor. but boon was in camp and so happened peng booked out that day. he was uber nice to drive from his home in hougang, pick up my uniform in simei, drive to tuas to run his errand and then drive to boon lay to pass me the uniform. when the shit comes, u'll know ur true frens who will go thru great inconvenicnce for u man. besides peng hor, sher was all ready to also deliver my uniform to me la. what a good fren! but i told her nvm once i got hold of peng cuz she'd haf to take mrt from tamp to boon lay then change bus and back... too evil to ask of such a thing.
so then i finally got to meet up wif boon and peng on the 31st of may (we've not met in like 3 months). it was a fri nite which meant that there was cell group but as usual i'm feeling damn pissed, dun wanna go and pretend that i am feeling all okay and happy.. then dawn told me shen zhi was soloing the cell group as jean and becky were in msia already but then she smsed me to say she was okay wif handling the group. so i went to play basketball instead to relive some stress and anger. so proud of myself that i somehow found the technique for mid range shots, never in my life can i nail 50% of my shots being the lousy player i am but i did that nite. felt so so so so good. anyway i brought dawn along when peng drove us (incl boon) to jalan kayu for dinner. we didnt do our usual marathon thru the nite as peng had guard duty the next day rarrr... hope to meet up again soon la, miss my two gay brothers so so much... =D i forced them to take some pictures but then i forgot how to upload the pics from the camera, have to ask dawn..
and lastly, actually today i was still damn fed up cuz of army and then dawn's sian diao attitude. didnt wanna go edge, just felt like rotting away at home dotaing or go shopping. but then even as i told dawn i didnt want to go edge, i felt the holy spirit telling me that he'll not allow me not to go.. so ya even if its one of those die die also wanna stay home and slack feeling i had, i dunno how i guai guai go bathe and moved out of the house. i took public transport to the yishun building and turns out i reached there faster than dawn on the church bus even tho i started bathing only when she left the house. so ya i knew for me to go to church when i die die also wanna pon, the message confirm god wanna speak some sense into stubborn me. and boy did he. so ya, here goes. as much as i dont wanna share and do my usual practice of just bottling everything inside, i know i have to note it down so god's glory will not be lost as a mere memory.
