After a tense week of pure madness in camp, I`m finally back blogging...

the past week was so stressful that there were couple of times i almost broke down literally...

lack of sleep, manpower and assistance caused the fatigue.......imagine staying in camp to set up the PA system for the entire camp with no equipments...

all the equipments are still in the container in taiwan and only be back on the 3rd of May so i had to co-ordinate with various signal units to borrow their PA system to use for the parade..

many people were unwilling to lend us the equipments and i was really desperate to borrow coz time was running out and my boss din know a SHIT as usual so it was up to me and me alone !!

travelled to so many camps to take speakers...wireless system and etc...and even go to some units juz to borrow some wires...it was really tough doing it alone coz no one knows how to do it...it`s very pathetic, i`m not saying that i`m so important tht i`ve to be there all the time but it`s not easy to teach anyone how to fix and operate the system and there`s only 2 people in camp that knows how to do it.

the other guy, my wing man...is in taiwan again so i`ve to do it alone...nbz...!!

I felt really bad for not being able to celebrate desmond`s b`day when i was in taiwan and i actually missed mousy`s b`day on fri too.....
i reached home at bout 9plus and i was already dead tired...been working since 6am that day and i haven`t been able to sleep well coz i kept dreaming wat if the system fails and i can`t rectify it in time and the pressure is too great for me to bear....
besides, the weather isn`t helping at all, everyday will definitely rain at least once and coz of that, my equipments are under constant rain which makes me more jumpy !!
anyway....i`ve missed enough outings and i dun intend to miss anymore..looking fwd to meeting everyone soon except desmond who will be in BRUNEI for a month again...wat`s his prob...in love with BRUNEI ever since he went to air force school.

i finally got a BRAND new keyboard courtesy of MICROSOFT...thank you so much !!
my keyboard letter "M" has been spoilt for a while and whenever i need to use the letter, i muz copy and paste so it was really frustrating...
js told me to change a new keyboard but i realised i can call the microsoft hotline and get a free replacement so i called and filled up some forms and fax it to them plus my receipt...
and they sent the replacement to my doorsteps and collected the spoilt keyboard and gave me a new one....really sweet of them...!!
5 yrs warrenty....4 more yrs to go...ha ha.,,,!!!

today`s sun and tml i`ve to go back to camp and i haven`t even rested much coz i was recalled back to work at the coffee shop for the weekend...

apparently, the manager was really short of staff and the supervisor`s relative juz passed away so they din have any supervisor to stand in so he merely took it for granted i can help and planned my name in the schedule and then let sheep and the rest to tell me bout it a few dayz ago....ah ya, i`ve made it clear to them that they don`t plan my name into the schedule anymore unless it`s an emergency and i`m free...

tml i`ll go to camp for 1/2 a day, then go for my dental appointment and then i`ll go for my UNI orientation at night.

I really can`t wait...i`m so excited...i`m actually starting a new phrase of my life even before i finish army...i wonder which study group would i be in ?

will there be HOT office babes ?

all these will be revealed in my next entry......stay tune to the little-red-devil !!!

tata........

i`m trying to find this MTV song by ah nui, damn catchy and racist song entitled Abu ne ne...damn nice....!!

TRACK 7...enjoy !!!!!!!! you`ll love it !!!

So many comments with regards to poy...ha ha...it was a joke la...dun go and tease him or else he`ll be very low ok, guys ??

poy, ai zai ah !!

today`s the 1st day i returned to camp ever since i came back from taiwan....kinda busy thanks to my boss.

i heard news early in the morning that he was looking for me urgently coz he wanted me to go out of camp to settle some PA system so i refused to ans his call.

unfortunately, he found me somehow...*sighz*...bo bian...had to go to mindef to settle for him...not really complaining...now that i`m studying part-time, i`ll need his co-operation so i have to give him soe face as well...

win-win situation i guessed....

my monthly COS duty in camp is currently planned by him instead of my RSm and i had to show him my part-time studies time-table and let him know which are the days i can`t do duty and see if he can facilitate me or not...

to my surprise, he`s quite receptive....he said he`ll plan and show me 1st to see if there`s any prob....haiz...i guess we`re in a way making use of each other.....i need him to let me take off during my exams and he need me to do the PA system which i gladly do it.

who has the upper-hand, i would like to think that i do, coz...when I ORD...he wun know how to operate and i`m no longer his man, i`ll have my pink IC so i`m not entitled to HELP him anymore...

call me mean or watever...it`s survivor skills which i`ve coe to accept it as a way of life whereever i go....

gonna end my short and sweet entry here.....enjoy pple !!

did i mention i bought the vodka apeach from airport when i came back from TAIWAN....

SHIOKNESS, 2 more flavours and i`ll complete my collection...lol....i`m crazy...

Today was a very eventful day with 2 seperate gathering....

went to woodland stadium to play badminton with my NYP + SP buddies....sj, ch, alex, js, kevin, des, jimmy, myself...wei ling....

we played from 10am - 1pm and it was very exhausting to be playing so long....in need of serious rest or else i wun be the energy to go back work on monday !!

Initially, only des, myself, js, ch and mousy went and we booked court 1 & 3 and since we only had 5 people, they was no need for us to use 2 courts...

we could have used court 1 which was empty but i was very piss off when i saw this group of indians that i told ah poy i wanna go and make them leave the court...who cares if i`m not using it...i juz dun wan them to use it for FREE !!!!!

see my point, so ah poy went and told them to SIAM.....ha ha.....thanks bro !! u did a great job..

din mean to smack js so many times...deepest apologies and i hope u`re feeling better now !!

after the game, alex suddenly disappeared w/o saying bye and so we left for lunch without him...weird fella every since i came back....so many things happened and no one update me...
ah poy mouth is the BIGGEST, i`ll make him tell me everything...

wellz, after lunch, went home and was bout to leave home to go SIM to fetch SAmz coz she was gonna acc me go vivocity to collect my long-awaited Islander card...

Then it started to rain AGAIN...it seems like it`s forever raining in the afternoon nowadays and samz mentioned that it was due to the climate change and global warming...

wonder if she`s smart or juz acting smart...ha ha...smart la..i think...hee hee....

due to the stupid rain, i had to change my plan and take the MRT to vivocity, i almost forgot which stop to alight and change to the North-east line...

i felt so uneasy taking the MRT, i think i`m too use to bring "pamela" everywhere....i feel weird without her beside me..!

met up with keline and b.f (terrence) at Raffles City before he gave us a lift to MIRAMA hotel...

as expected by now, I had dinner at IKOI and this time, everything tasted almost the same as previously but something juz dun feel right...

I dunnnoe but i think the standard has dropped or i`m juz too picky...Samz felt that it`s not up to standard too....i think i muz re-find a good sashimi place again..

Keline felt it was so so only and her b.f din eat sashii at all so it`s a bit sayang and he ordered this al la carte menu UNAGI...and he din know it cost $25...shit !!!

damn ex..add $10 and another person can eat the buffet le...damn bo hua !!

during dinner, i passed Keline the bikini i bought her and i pass samz the little teddy figurine i bought for her too.

taiwanese are kinda conservative, when i went to purchase the bikini, almost everyone were staring at me....even the person selling me the bikini wasn`t sure if it was a joke or wat...lol.....

i bought an exact bear for myself....i think it`s very nice...

i thought samz would not like the gift but it turned out to be alright...good thing i din disappoint her....at least that`s wat i thought...hee hee

only trina din like her gift, it was free size and too big for her so i told her to give it to tricia instead...ha ha...too bad for her...bought her something but not her style, i also bo bian...


keline and myself also received a gift from samz, it was really sweet to design a photo frame with a pix of the time we all had steaboat together at her place....so thoughtful.
i remembered the last time someone made something so special for me was daphne but that`s history and it`s always nice to feel appreciative and receive something nice for once...
thanks buddy...u made my day complete...!! :o)

i was on the phone with trina a couple of moments ago when she haulted my blog post....
she suddenly asked me this perculiar Q which cracked my brain at this hr...
Question: Wat is the diff btw a bitch & a slut ??
*jordan* A bitch is someone who acts like one and a slut is someone who IS one...

*trina* A bitch is someone who sleeps with everybody except for me and a slut is someone who sleeps with everybody including me....
pick ur choice and let`s vote on the tagboard which one sounds more Correct than the other alright ??

ATTENTION people !!!

i finally tried BOTAK JONES this afternoon at AMK with my army friends.....it was a wonderful experience after being disappointed by our dear KEVIN yesterday.....

actually, i knew he would fly aeroplane but i was juz hoping he would change but it wasn`t meant to be....WTF...i`m day-dreaming of the impossible anyway !!

I had this chicken cajun for lunch, the wait for bout 45min and i muz say it`s worth the wait...the whole coffee was packed with customers coming for the signature dishes and a group of students were there to celebrate their b`day...amazing...

the chicken had so much flavour in it, well marinated and kevin still had the audacity to say the food was ok only...wah lan eh, his expectation is damn high lor...oi, continue eating bread la....it`s ur fav. rite ??

ha ha...lol...kidding la...dun slam me oki :)

i spent my lazy afternoon at home watching an episode of the O.C, season 4...it`s the final season and i`ve 3 episodes left and although i know wat`s gonna happen, i wanna slowly watch and soak in the atmosphere....my fav. drama is coming to an end soon !!

js, ur sis wants it or not ??

anyway, this episode was talking bout love and how you know if the girl/guy you`re dating is gonna be the one ??

and do u love ur partner for who he is or for how he/she treats you....it`s a totally differnt thing altogether and the whole episode kept keeping me reflecting on wat i`m still holding onto and why am i not moving on.....??

it`s weird but it`s a known fact that i`m still having a case of reminisce from the past...sighz...

wellz, i only catched this jap movie which i downloaded long ago but there wasn`t eng subtitles so i had to get from js and i was too pre-occupied with other shows that i din have time for this one.

it`s called taiyou no uta, the movie....i also watched a similar drama....

love, love kinda movie then lead actress die...u know that type lor...!!

it`s by this actress/singer called YUI, damn talented and born in 1987, i got quite emotional while hearing the songs and the lyrics...i dunnoe why jap people can act so well with so much emotions unlike their counterparts in s`pore who really look like newbies on TV...



anyway, gonna pack my stuff for badminton tml and pack the stuff i wanna bring to camp coz i forgot that i left my track shoe in camp and i muz go get it b4 i play badminton tml or else muz play in slippers...

nitez people !!!

Nothing seem to go right for me ever since i came back from taiwan....

1st, my luggage went missing, then pamela had to be towed.....now, my keyboard is a bit damaged...the alphabate "M" is so hard to type and i`m having a frustrating time typing my blog....

called Microsoft consumer hotline and realised my $27 curve keyboard is under warrenty for 5 yrs...so shiok !!

then they agreed to change a new keyboard for me and when i asked where i could go and do the 1-on-1 exchange, they told me that they`ll send someone to come to my place to deliver the new keyboard as well as take back the spoilt keyboard....

and it`s done at my prefered time available...now, i`m really impressed !!

wat`s gonna happen next...damn it, i really wonder ??

Kris juz sms me to tell me she`s on the plane, flying to Bangkok, wellz, have a safe flight there and back home....will be waiting for my gift...

spent almost 1/2 a day in m`sia today with my 2 camp buddies, almost everyone got closer than ever during the 1 mth training in taiwan, we bathe together, sleep together...crack jokes....work and be stressed together...

i brought them to eat curry fish head, repaired bike and washed bikes...haven`t went in for a long time...nothing`s changed there unlike s`pore....maybe the pace here is moving so fast until our neighbouring countries can`t catch up.

someone once told me this and i remember it vividly,
why is our immediate neighbouring country (not mentioning which country) not as well off and not advancing as rapidly as s`pore....??

wellz, let`s juz say as long as they are governed by a certain majority race, they won`t succeed and they know the chinese have major companies (making $) in that country so they would gladly control them and they have to pay taxes to the gov. which perhaps goes towards corruption and who knows, funding terrorist extremist groups ??

hmm.....one can only ponder......

away from politics......tml will be the last day of the weekday...fri to be exact which means 2 more days of fun and i`ll be going back to camp to look at death in the eye....my bloody boss.

i`ve a feeling a war btw us is gonna break out earlier than later....i`ll update all readers if it ever happens....

gonna go chinatown to get some stuff and at the same time, vivocity to collect my islander card...finally going to collect it and to CWP to collect my hp....

very funny, Samsung called me at 8pm and told me the charges for my phone is $17.25 and asked if i wanna proceed, then at bout 845pm, they called and said it`s ready for collection, WTF....so nonsense, i already told them to proceed with the repair if it`s below $50....haiz...

so much for professionalism....

lastly, this is for js, a new avril lavigne single entitled GIRLFRIEND....enjoy !!

2 days since i`ve been back and life remains as hectic as before i left...

so many things waiting to be done and...got to go and collect my SENTOSA Islander card at vivo city soon...juz collected my citibank card today...finally can enter zouk for FREE....7 days a week...who wanna go...??

had lunch with my mum at paragon in the afternoon and then went to citibank, after that, I persuaded her to do eye-brows threading with me at orchard mid-point instead of plucking....then she kept complaining that it`s damn pain....

since i made her suffer, i had to pay for her...wasted $10 for the 2 of us...juz when i thought she would pay for mine...ha ha....wishful thinking...

i think i`ll abstain from chicken and beef for a while, during the R&R in taiwan, almost everyday eat beef and since i came back, every meal has chicken in it.

had late dinner with trina at changi village ytd and pass her the pressie i bought.

tried this famous malay stall selling chicken rice called, ayam penyet !!

the chilli is damn shiok, kevin would love it for sure too...and we had chicken satay and BBQ chicken wings...

all CHICKEN, then today went with my mum to DING TAI FUNG at paragon and ordered drunken chicken...

luckily, i`m eating sashimi on sat...!!! IKOI, here i come....

anyway, to think bout it, i might be seriously having chicken tml....kevin called me today and ask me to go dinner with him but i already bought mine so i told him that i wanna try BOTAK jones @ AMK and then we decided to go and try it tml.

hope it`s good....

he`s quite particular bout food and he said it`s ok nia....i shd give u all the verdict tml IF i`m going....

u all can view their webby at
http://www.botakjones.com/

tml gonna go to JB to pump oil in the morning with my camp buddies and to bathe "pamela"...she haven`t showered for a month...quite pitiful so gonna pamper her tml...!!

Kris, do u wan any new DVDs ??? :0)

i`ve finally quitted my job at the coffee shop, no more weekends to suffer and wake up at 530am.....can sleep till the sun shine directly on my tummy....

can go and play soccer with my buddies on sat morning opposite YJC and volleyball on sundays at sentosa....


but can`t wait for BADMINTON this weekend planned by the pirated, yang chen ling aka mousy ong siew jie...kidding !!

i`ve held onto that coffee shop job since poly days and it`s quite long if u ask me....

i`m quite excited bout the future, although i dunnoe wat it holds, i know that working back in the coffee shop will nv be an option.

since i`ve decided to quit, i`m not gonna go back...or else i wun make any progress in life...i`ll not wanna rely on $6/hr anymore...now that i`m short of 1 income, i`ll have to find ways to make ends meet while supporting myself, uni studies and beloved "pamela"

as long as i dun spend too much $ on buffet...i shd be able to get on with my life....lol....

Does this pix looked like i`m having fun out-field or i`m juz too stressed until i muz find an avenue to release all my stress ??

imagine not being able to bathe for 4 days...and i`ve to suffer with temperature at 12deg during the night and bout 20 deg during the day.....WTF...

Let us turn back time to the day i went to the airport...all excited bout taiwan and sad that i`ve to leave all my friends and wonderfool food back in s`pore !!

my camp mates and bosses excluding my immediate boss, the black piece of dirt.......even if he`s in the pix, he can`t be seen la...!! ha ha....

SAF muz obviously support their own country`s airline so we all took SIA to taiwan.....world-class airline with impressive entertainment system....but.......

Everything world-class except for the air-stewardess and service.....it`s very average as compared to better airlines i`ve taken like QANTAS & JAL......

given another chance, i wun wanna take SIA..........i`m very particular bout in-flight service.

the service is juz like those budget carriers i took....ha ha...!!

Rude shock when we reached our camp bunk....imagine 135 people squeezing together with only 4 bathing cubical and 6 urinals....

i dun think i need to explain much bout my suffering rite...look at the pix and see wat i mean...!

there`re many sensitive pix which i deem unappropriate to post on my blog coz i`m afraid the army charge me or watever....

so i can only post limited pix in uniform....it`s ok la, the time spent training is a nightmare which i would love to forget...


the indian fella is my CO, LTC logan, quite a nice indian except for the fact he supports LIVERPOOL FC...*pui*....he was on a recee mission that day and i was his signal spec on that mission...

The pix below is a pix of the 3 funky warrent officer that i was having fun with during our free time....i`ll not forget the nonsense and how we tease other officers and off the toilet lights for fun while others are bathing...I would u guys, SIR !!

very down-to-earth officers who dun play rank....loves to eat snake with me and bring me out for sight-seeing....long story so not gonna eleborate or else get charged....ha ha

Camp food isn`t that nice so i`ve spent most of my $$ on the street vendor which is known as "xiao mi fong" or NINJA van.....


It`s a small van which has everything that u can find in the ENTIRE coffee shop....fried chicken, dumpling...stir-fried pork with onion... sausage....bubble tea...etc....everything also have....spoilt for choices....

i ate at the NINJA van during most of the 4 day field camp coz i dun wanna eat the disgusting field ration....ha ha.... army guys shd know wat i mean....


i had a night out and we went to the nearest shopping district which was bout 45mins away, called KENTING....quite fun...a much needed break from the hectic lifestyle...

imagine the 10.5 ton tunnel which was carrying 30+ people and going at 90km/h...really fast man...i was shocked it could go so fast....a bit scary coz the roads are not brightly lit..!!

the guy next to me is mousy sec sch classmate, " xiao la jiao"....mousy, am i right ??

also from NYP, ECC but path B....

the other 3 next to me are all also from NYP but from diff course....hee hee...NYP rocks la...SP still can la...lol.... so so nia !!

Almost everyday, i would definitely drink minimum a packet of papaya milk.....it`s really nice and it makes my SHIT smooth when it comes out... shiokness !!

i din know how nice it tasted until now...it`s one of my newest fav drink....no wonder KRIS loves it so much...

watermelon milk will also do the trick when i`m shitting....they have all sorts of dairy drinks...very nice...!!!

this dog is very different from ally but i`m quite attached to it when i`m in taiwan....very tragic since it was born when i juz arrived....

mother abandoned this puppy with 2 other puppies...given the harsh weather in taiwan, 2 of his siblings died within the next few days and i had to go and feed it everyday....wasted quite a lot of $$ on this dog.

someday, when i wake up, the temperature can be bout 12deg then suddenly afternoon can be 35 deg then suddenly temperature drop again...

very easily fall sick.....

before i left for s`pore, everyone complained that the puppy has a tummy which seemed similar to mine..ha ha...although i`ve lost most of my tummy due to the intensive training, i`ll gain it back soon...i promise !!! lol....

i hope the puppy will survive after i leave.

there was another dog story....very tragic story but guess it`s too depressing to talk bout...if u all wanna know, for those going for badminton on sat, ask me lor....

the shape of the fruits here are very weird...ha ha...all shape and sizes but one thing they have in common, the fruits are very sweet !!!!

it`s always a delight in the mouth !!

the only entertainment we had when we were out in the field is this........

very mind-stimulating and i can`t be bothered, most of the time, i`ll be hiding in the vehicle and sleep....we dun have proper bed so the last 4 days...everyone find a corner in the vehicle and sleep....haiz....

Rest & Relax TIME !!!!!

after a hectic 28 days, we were given 2 days of free time in kao-hsiang !!
dun really know how to spell the city but i stayed in this 5 star hotel called
HOTEL KINGDOM....

quite impressive, all those who went HK with me, the room is so much bigger and better furnished....my buddy, jia hui and myself were so excited coz we finally had tv to watch and a spring mattress to sleep on....

bathe tube and hot shower is an added bonus....

1st thing i did was turned on the tv and i realised one thing...3/4 of all advertisment in taiwan is dominated by S.H.E, yang chen ling and jolin tsai...

so cute...and the advertisements are so much more interesting than s`pore....had so much fun watching it along the way...din feel like going for shopping coz it`s so nice to watch...

managed to watch guess X 5 show in taiwan at night...it`s on every sat at 10pm-midnight...and the new co-host is Selina and HEBE along with jacky wu....i really hate seeing Selina on TV...fat bitch with very whiny voice...so kiddish, someone better teach her when to grow up...!! ha ha....

A packet which contained 3 condoms is a standard SAF issue item....it`s weird why do they issue which stuffs....i wanted to pass it to the NS reservist men but they said that it`s enuff...haiz...i think i`ll juz keep it as a sourviner...!! lol....

dun worry, i din use it at all....my mum was shocked when she saw it in my bag...ha ha....

Our group consisted of 13 people and it`s quite difficult for all of us to go shopping tgt coz everyone has different thing in mind so we decided to break up into diff groups....

1st thing the group i went with did was to go to this 13 storey shopping centre and headed for the arcade...damn it...it was so boring coz i`ve grown out of it, i prefer shopping....but nvm, things can`t always go my way so i juz sat and watch them play....haiz....i muz act excited...!! ha ah....





shopping was so fun, we covered so much and i bought selective items, mostly gifts for my family and relatives.....haiz, din buy anything much for myself....

i spent much of it on food...only bought a shoe bag for myself...dumb huh...lol....


Street vendor selling lots of great food and everywhere we went, everyone could tell we`re singaporeans, they kept asking us if we came for training...ha ha...

we also tried the famously smelly *smelly beancurd"....damn jia lat...dun smell as bad as those found in HK but ok la, taste good...wanted to order more but my buddies stopped me !!

wellz, the best part of R&R was the time the time we decided to go to a nearby island to visit the theme park.....

unfortunately, my 512 SD card was full, i had to use my friend`s spare card and he took the card home to i can`t show u more pix of the fun we had...

but by the look of a pix b4 the memory was full, u could tell we had fun....


everyone rented bicycle or took the taxi to get about the island which was quite big, me and my friends who has bike licence decided to take the unconventional route, we rented bikes which cost $20 sing dollar for 2.5 hrs....it felt nice to be able to ride in taiwan, felt like i`m back in s`pore...

we raced through traffic lights and went to the beach and pavements which bikes weren`t allowed...hack care la...fun was more important...

eventually, we din go to the theme park, we were having too much fun racing down the streets......

ended up at some restaurant to have a seafood dinner...damn cheap...imagine every plate of seafood cost only $5 sing....fresh prawns....crabs...oyster.......fish.....veg...bamboo shoots////etc//

all kinds that mostly can`t be found in s`pore...i doubt monster`s father even sell it but it`s damn nice...and every plate which cost $5 is enuff for 13 people to eat...

the pix that i took are in another SD card, nvm, i shall upload it soon when i get it from my camp mate...

anyway, it`s a long blog entry...

enjoy....!! my hands are damn tired now......so is my brain...
