Haha the june holidays are over. I remember last year at this time, the A levels were speeding right ahead towards us. It seemed only just awhile ago that I was worrying about the impending prelim exams and the big monster behind it, the actual A level exams.

I remember the days of mugging late into the night in school like it was yesterday. I remember comparing Math mock paper answers with Chang in the void deck at 10pm, and also the long Physics discussions with Zhenghao. And how the auntie at the snack stall remembered exactly how I liked my coffee (thick and creamy, "nong nong" as she would call it lol). I remember the secret balcony up at the top level of Oldham Wing where I could retreat to mug quietly if I got sick of the library, hub, canteen, void deck or lt3. I remember the Venti Starbucks Christmas Blend with warm milk that I would take back to school from the Holland V Starbucks almost every day. I remember the good times and the fellowship and the encouragement that we all gave one another towards the end.

All these are lost now. The army is a terribly depressing and un-motivating place to work in. Everyday we follow the same fucking routine and the only variation we get is the variety of sai gang which we have to do which is seemingly infinite and who's scope is endless. The people I meet here are mostly selfish and unkind bastards who only care about their own welfare, and saving their own asses when shit happens. Unit life truly sucks.

But lifes like that ORD is coming soon and God gave me an un-expected encouragement gift 3 days ago which I am very excited about and I really thank him for his grace in this matter.

Ok heres more pics of the days leading up to November 17:


over here is a 2 S paper student who's wasting his life away to stupid card games 1 month before the A levels start ( little did he know that for 2 years from jan07 he'd have all the time in the world to waste his life away)


another shot of the dumbass, this time joined by another dumbass looking over his shoulder admiring how dumb the stupid card game truly is.


a younger johnny boy putting all his effort into studying hard for the A levels. GOOD JOB JOHNNY SHOW THE 2 S PAPER FAGGOT WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF GOGOGO

ok sorry but all these random ACJC nostalgia is just rushing back to me today I dont know why. Must be cause of the emo-ness I've acquired from the army.

early weekend!

my weekend starts tomorrow YESSS! on leave on thursday and friday to enjoy the remaining days of freedom with the gang.



WED 20 JUNE, SEE YOU THERE.

haha i stole this from shengs blog but its so funny i have to put this here lol lol





anyways, back to work tomorrow... then the fun starts again after 6pm on wednesday. i used 3 days of my annual leave to spend time with my buddies so im going to make the best of these 3 days and have as much fun as i can!

bah, im too tired to think anymore... cant be bothered to end this post properly. good night people

oh crap the weekend passed so quickly again hahahaha

Shit I had 5 venti vanilla latte's in the last week I feel like I've negated all the exercise I did during and after my bmt! I better go for a long run tomorrow morning. But its all my fault I should never have started drinking lattes they're more addictive than mambo music...

My 2nd driving lesson was good... Only stalled once and I'm starting to get used to the stupid retarded and gay but important half clutch technique, and I hit 50kmph for the first time which was kinda scary but exciting!

But really I'm trying my best to stay positive cause the next 20 months really does seem quite bleak for me... I need to look for stuff to occupy my mind with after I'm done with driving cause if not I'll just be rotting away in my office.

OK I shall end my short post here cause I didn't even intend to blog... just got really bored. So tomorrow the BMT school 2 people pass out and we're all set to have a super fun wednesday night! I CANT WAIT

Oh the anticipation! Oh the excitement and the thrill! The start of yet another work week in the SAF. And oh its so sweet that this tuesday marks the 2nd month of my acquaintance with my beloved 11B :)

So the weekend passed too quickly again, didnt even get to see sheng, chang or manav. But I'm glad that I've settled in to my office and I know how everything works now so I actually have stuff to do when I'm in there which makes time pass just a little bit faster... Spent most of the weekend shopping and bought like 2 shirts but whats more important is that i came across this:









OH JUST CHECK THESE BABIES OUT. The onitsuka tiger injector dx range is simply orgasmic! Too bad they cost like $199 and the special edition costs like $209, which is like all of my pathetic NSF pay. Looks like I'm going to have to ask my folks for cash again which kinda sucks cause it makes me feel like a loser who cant support himself but heck I AM A LOSER WHO CANT SUPPORT MYSELF :(

Ok, time to sleep now and until then I shall stay positive and ignore my sad predicament and look forward to short term goals such as ZOUK+NEWTON BAR ON WEDNESDAY or my very fun driving lessons.

And 2se1 peeps who are reading we should really go visit madam one of these weekends.. BMT guys damn free after june 13th so we can plan then!

OH YES THE WEEKEND IS HERE. But I've got this enormous shit load of work piled up in the office for me to do by tomorrow i worry i might have to stay late on my 2nd favourite day of the week :(

but today kinda passed real quickly BECAUSE i had so many things to do. time just flies when you are busy!

OK time for another random photo of the past when we were still oblivious to the horrors that awaited us after enlistment.

ok la this photo is almost 2 years old now so lets analyze it in the context of today.

1. gy used to look damn innocent OMG! how could that young and naive gy turn into such a horny and homosexual monster? must be our bad influence :(

2. arthur is wearing a jockey cap. this is very paradoxical as arthur is very lucky and will never have to wear a jockey cap in his life unlike us poor NSFs.

3. weizhi's right hand is in the classic "water parade" position, this is of course a very very horrible procedure to undergo in the SAF because we would most likely be embarking on some exhausting physical training session after the water parade.

4. 2 years ago you wouldnt have noticed DX was a part of this photo at first glace. now, you still wouldnt. Little did we know at that point in time that DX was practicing the skills of cover and concealment that he had honed to perfection during his NCC days.

5. I was wearing braces 2 years ago :)

6. we were all so happy then :)

OMG 3 POSTS IN 1 DAY WHY?!!!?!!!!

HAHAHA xavier owns

weekends,
the time of the week every NSF lives for.
a time for friends and good times,
a vague attempt to relive the glory of the old times.

for the coffee sessions (cigarettes included),
for the beer at newton bar,
for the fucking 9.50 movies.
weekends are all we have left, make the best of it boys.

sorry, i felt damn random cause i cant wait for the weekend :D :D :D
weekends are the only time i get to see familiar faces, because there isnt a single person in the entire camp whom i know from my past. and its damn sad and im damn lonely and i miss my soul which has been taken away on 12 apr 2007.

on a sidenote, i have regimental duty on fathers' day which is awful cause then i won't even be able to spend fathers' day with my dad. trying to buy someone elses sunday but its pretty hard cause no one wants to be stuck in camp for 24 hours on sunday :( pray i get it

sometimes i get emo and depressed and start thinking about freedom and a life free from the enslavement which i was subject to for the past 2 months. and when i think about how slowly these 2 months have passed, and that theres still 1 year and 8 months to go, i get like more depressed and thoughts of suicide flash through my mind and images of a bloody, violent death for my "captors" cloud my thoughts.

OK NO, dont get worried im not gonna kill myself i was purposely exaggerating it to make people scared. these 2 months have actually passed pretty quickly, before i know it it'll be christmas and then before i know it another christmas will pass and then ill see my pink ic again :D

i guess its always better to have a positive outlook no matter what you're going through. and if its really hard to have a positive attitude, just close your eyes and pretend its a dream. NS is just a dream, when we wake up in 2 years time we'll just forget about it and move on. We're actually so lucky that we're not regulars, for the regulars, NS is like a coma. They cant wake up. So pity them and dont hate them too much when they make you sign 3 extra, because they signed LIFETIME extra.

so thats they way i think of things now and i feel a little bit better. time for a run now and then coffee with friends later! only thing that sucks is im going to have to head home after coffee instead of going where we always go on wednesday night :(

but then again its all just a bad dream :))

hello im back on mainland for good now

contrary to popular belief, im actually quite sad that i had to downgrade. there goes my hopes of going ocs and commissioning in the safti parade square as an officer. but i dont have a choice la, the memories of the pain i went through in bmt are just too much to bear. sometimes my hip would hurt so much that i wouldnt even be able to sleep at night. i wasnt prepared to go though that kind of pain just to attain a rank and i dont want to go through that kind of pain again cause it really sucks.

but looking on the bright side, at least i get to book out everyday to see my parents and sleep on my bed and go online. and i can learn driving and get my license too! so it all doesnt seem too bad right now :)) but im gonna have to find ways to supplement my income or ill have to change my lifestyle. i simply cant survive on $350, spent $500 into my savings in just 2 months and i feel damn bad about it already...

went back to acjc with my class yesterday to collect our school graduation certs. the school hasnt changed one bit structurally, its still the same place i worked and played for 2 great years. but deep inside i know it has changed, an intake of no acsi boys and (increasingly) fucked up barker boys destroy the ac spirit and the influx of students from other schools diversifies the school culture which is a good and bad thing but i think its just a bad thing cause the thing that makes acjc stand out is our unique culture and our acs identity and that is being lost, sadly. i didnt want to admit it at first cause i was a barker boy but we really do need the acsi guys in acjc cause of they make up for like half our male population and without them now that vacancy is being filled up with like fucked up people.

dont get my views wrong i dont hate people from schools other than the ac feeder schools. but its just that theres too many of them now, just too many, so the school has to inevitably change for the (in my opinion) worst. i dont blame these kids, its not their fault. the blame lies with people i cannot name on this blog cause im too scared to do so. all i can say is that i think IB was a really bad idea, they could have just kept half of the acsi boys and sent the other half over to acjc but no, they had to keep all of them and give us like a very small handful.

ok i need to sleep now cause i have to go to work tomorrow and i have driving after that!!!

i miss those days

i miss those days

i miss those days

i miss those days

i miss those days

i miss those days

i wanna be 18 forever. i wanna lead the post A levels pre enlistment life forever. i know that even after ORD things will be different cause there'll be prep for university and we'll be like 21 already that would make us so bloody old and we'll have to be more responsible and stuff so we cant do stuff like make su go into the house of wax again :(
