wallaby 2

Just on the night before my flight, I decided to pen down my thoughts and feelings for the past 2 weeks. If not, I might just forget this awesome period. Yea, quite fun.

-----
3days in camp week. Thought I earned a free off, but the tradeoff was to be company IC. It really doesn't pay to owe others favours. Being the company IC wasn't really that bad. But still, I have the responsibility of ensuring the attendance of soldiers. Basically, company IC is the scapegoat for everything that goes wrong.

"How long do you need to report strength?" - ask them?! not me!? now it's my fault for not rushing them
"Why is HQ platoon so slow?" -ask them!?!?!?!?!?

Yea, retarded system. Guy X does something wrong, guy Y takes the blame, Guy Z gets punished.

Nights out spy kids.




super super fail 4D effect. Scratch & smell totally didn't work out. I can't smell no shit! No one can't smell no shit! Pretty boring kids' show with irritating kids at the back screaming and laughing at every single trying-to-be-funny scene. But there's jessica alba :)











-----
01 guys outing. Actually only ghim kokli jianyu kaisheng.



Not bad! Got to give him credits for some parts of the movie haha. Johnny English was much funnier. Or was it a I would have laughed more if I were younger?














Anywayz that week's highlight was 01 nanxiang restaurant with huimin swusan kokli kaisheng jianyu kenneth. $200+ bill O_O Should have invested in more discount papers. But to do this, you need a group of friends who are free, willing to spend, and willing to spend with u. That's the only thing that is holding me back from koping all the coupons.

The food was like oral sex. Golden fried rice ahhhh. 咸蛋炒虾 ahhh. XLB was okok i think.

Then soya bean milk at rochor beancurd. Chillax snorlax.

-----
Another 3days in camp. Good life ah, relacjack! LOL Relacjack!? wtf is relacjack?! Jingx came up with an explanation for this term by our CSM.

Once upon a time, there was a boy named jack. He was very lazy and his mum sent him to the market to sell their cow. However, jack, being a very relac boy, traded the cow for 5 magic beans and went home early.
Jack from jack and the beanstalk story -> slack -> relacjack. LOLOL


Mega haircut. The auntie called it the "wallaby hairstyle" -.- Kokli says I look like the maplestory character with the toben hairstyle, aka centre parting. Thanks kokli. Love his comparison. Nvm this will probably be the last time that my hair is this short!


On tuesday, there was a company cohesion. Each platoon got 2 steamboats. Ok, the food not very nice, but the beer and the drinking games are 赞! Introducing beepbobeepbo and some standing game from the running man. Ah, I love these games cos I find myself having a hard time to lose everytime! But I dun mind losing and doing forfeits.

After the cohesion, some of them wanted to have a slumber party at section 1. I went over for a while, but decided to go back and sleep properly. Why such a wet blanket? Thanks to the cold weather these days, my nose was utterly blocked. It's like in the pokemon game, you ride a bike down lavender town and you can't cross the junction because you are blocked by snorlax and you don't have a pokeflute. You can also see it as appearing inside a room, with dozens of hot pretty girls, that has no door. Yes, you've got it. It is frustrating and suffocating.

-----
While the city of townsville is under the motivation of uni socialisation and ord, there have been reports of mojojojo attacks. Looks like uni life is going to be stressful. Is it still worth looking forward to it? Somehow, I think my perception of uni could be twisted towards the optimist's side.

-----

Karaoke session with junhe kokli junyang sly zhenghui jeremy. I tried to sing songs that weren't usually sung by ppl hehe. Not bad! I like the part when we all tried vitas's opera 2. FUN! Been wanting to give it a try but can't scream at home.

-----
Friday fright night!





Lame plot, but scary. I can see why it's a comedy also lol. More exciting towards the end.

Actually the more impt factor is the actresses are hot.










Sat, celebration for kokli's and qingping's birthday! huimin qp jas kokli jaisheng cheeyee ghim boon. qp's a happy girl with bryan. Icecream cake form swensen's! w/o steel knife and w/o one of the candle holder. Good job swensen's staff from plaza sing. China worker again. Always the problematic ones.

Just as boon and I expected, no one else wanted to have a drink and chat. Sigh. Then jianyu was able to make it for a drink + to go congratulate qp with his sincere appearance, so the 3 of us plus a jasmine went to yellow jello. huimin and friends were also there, so erm ok I'm not very open actually. Ok the chat was quite difficult but still, not too bad, sensitive topics that we wouldn't usually share. Music was very loud, but can't dance cos the atmosphere just wasn't there. Garrr. Holding on to jianyu's promise of going to club after ord.
-----

The next day was a family outing at some place with waterfall at msia. Can't rmb malay names. It was machiam like a racial harmony day. But correct luh, I'm in msia, not sg.





damn cooling water. very fresh also.

















act yi ge want to jump down from the waterfall. but half a metre down got platform alr.








act yi ge cute











I bet no one's more happening than me alr. 1 day before flyoff can go waterfall and play :D






my.. I don't know how to address them. But they are my relatives. jiongqi was super cute. Superb imitation skills. High potential to be an entertaining celebrity! So cute.. just like how I was when I was young. ><







-----

mixed feelings at this point of time. Sigh. I worry for the whole 5m long list of ppl who will miss me.

别带我去远方 我不想去远方
我只想待在家 陪你说说话

No. For my country. For my family. For my friends. For ORD! HERE I COME, AUSTRALIA! (only the rural part, thanks a lot)


like a cat on hot bricks or 热锅上的蚂蚁, I'm not anxious at all
weijian

not a teen, not an adult. neither here nor there.

Excuse me.
But I might drink a little more than I should, tonight.

Yes, 20, finally. So this is how long 20 years feel like, with more than 12 years forgotten memories.

Thanks for the sincere handshakes, cards, presents and birthday wishes!


Met up with jianyu kaisheng kokli at lot 1 on Friday. I'm very grateful for them making an effort to celebrate with me on my birthday :)




Lucky enough to get the cozy seat at newyorknewyork! Seems a lot like that time when we celebrated jianyu's birthday.. last year?














humongous burger. I can never finish them myself. Or can I? Haha, not worth to try the challenge also luh. Yummy burger and pizzaaaa.


supposed to give fierce and hungry looks, but apparently I'm the only one who got the 杀气 >:O





saw vivien and yf. I shall say that was awkward.
























then another chocolate cake at home. how sweet















Do wishes ever come true? Am I not sincere enough? Or has my desire grown?













Then on Saturday, 01 outing!
with kokli jianyu huimin and me, followed by swusan qingping bryan kaisheng.
poor huimin. But from another point of view, how blissful eh?


ice-skating in the pasar malam rink. I missed the time when I ice-skated during CNY. So few ppl then! Skating with shorts some how made me feel insecure.






























I didn't have any affinity with manhattan fish market. Why? Was supposed to enjoy the 1-for-1 deal on wed nights out, but we chose carl's jr and watched rise of the planet of the apes instead. Could have the chance to eat it on sat for lunch but we chose mac. And so on..


flavoured hoegaarden had a lil weird taste. I'd rather spend less, drink more on... erdinger!
Got so called free MOF membership. Legend has it that the holder of the holy card will have higher chance to get girls.. ..


-----

insomnia on 25th, just before my birthday T.T tried to sleep at 9, rolled around for 2hrs plus instead, and reveille at 4.30 zzz.

supposed to have 12km route march at 6.45am on my birthday. T.T
but the keyword is "supposed".
:D

Must be my luck! It rained so heavily that the route march was postponed! And possibly cancelled LOL!

Then during nights out, went to carl's junior with noel jingxuan kevin kokli. We thrashed out lots of things haha. I think we were bitching.






"NO!!!! "

That was particularly funny to me because in camp, I like to attempt to disobey orders with a guailan "no", which was the first word that caesar learnt how to speak. Looks like my grandiose refusal has gone popular.








such a good drama.. and the cast is so good-looking! Yea, plastic surgery but they were above average to begin with!


compare this with singaporean drama and u will flinch like u got "hyperbit" by a raticate.




-----

First time singing with vballers on sunday. I must say it was a weird experience LOL! I think vball group is more suited for physical activities or games.


Right after duty, tuition, badminton with archers, then tuition again T.T Hectic life. And I must say, the people with whom you do activities with play a large role in determining the derivation of satisfaction from the activities. Doesn't mean you enjoy XX with group A means you will also enjoy it with group B.

想吹风 想自由
想要一起手牵手

the hangover

yes the whole day today I just feel like sleeping -.-

clubbingz atz phuturez
I felt very out of place. I was wearing a t-shirt and looked very under-dressed. Everyone else who was not in our group was smoking. Some people were very high, for some reason, while I was there, looking around, trying to get used to the surroundings and busying with leveling up my situational awareness.




mostly 乖仔s in platoon 9













ha wat's the orange light doing there, I dunno.


the so-called F4. Very different from the taiwan F4 but doesn't matter. We are the icon of platoon 9.








I have been wondering what is my limit for alcohol. So that day, I just spammed the drinks. Around 8 cups with mixers, and a few random pure shots from the bottle. Siao. Once the effect kicked in, I was a goner. I was conscious but very very very dizzy. I even vomited twice in the toilet. That's how horrible it was. So I'm guessing, my limit should be around 4-5cups. And seriously, I prefer sweet drinks. Come thy sugar. Envelop me and fill me with.. wait, no. I need da gym n run.

Dancing was however fun! It is a very loose activity that allows you to de-stress by singing out loudly and jumping/shaking around. We got high easily and just went into the pool of people and zaaaaaaar. Actually I don't even know if that's called dancing. It was sooooo packed, 10 times worse than inside a mrt during peak hours. Everyone just went in and bua. But I do remember the champagne shower song being played and everyone was shouting along with hand gestures. Fun.

The very next day I suffered from hangover symptoms like fatigue and dizziness. But it was really fun before I couldn't take it lol. I'm such a poor drinker. $62.80 I'd rather buy a new shirt.

National Day Dinner @ Lot 1

Before clubbing was national day dinner. 9 course dinner that was quite yummy but not filling at all. It's like a 黄金年华 luh. 150 tables filled up by old uncles and aunties. There was a gift for august babies! Not bad huh? So I queued up excitedly and guess what the gift was.

leftover national day tote bag with national day goodies

wtf? And that's not all. The first few lucky draw "winners" got 5 x national day tote bag. wtf?? What a lousy gift. We were all hoping not to get called up stage to claim the tote bags.

-----

4km route march with soft armour plates. At first I thought we were really lucky to not be marching with hard armour plates because they weigh a ton!! But apparently that is the case for all the companies. Then I saw Archer company marching without weapon. WTF!! How suay are we to have route march and be on standby-operation?!

Fortunately, we were the first company to book out on friday at 2pm + ^^. We got all eyes staring at us from all the other companies ah hahaha. Finally, cougar had its rest!

-----
The idea initiated by me was dismissed and rejected without any thought into it. The same idea proposed by another guy was understood and accepted. Why? Just because I like to joke around, does that mean every time I open my mouth, I'm joking? Ever tried listening to the content of my speech before deciding if it's crap or not? Is there a need to be so judgemental? Do you need lessons on reading facial expressions to tell if someone is serious or joking? It's a completely unfair dismissal of my ideas leh, not even a moment of consideration. Not funny hor. Do you like it when everything you say gets repelled for illogical reasons? Once in pw, and now this, and of cos some other times that I forgot.

Just what is my problem? I provide entertainment, but it backfired. I be serious, people ask me not to emo.

-----

sex 是什r?! *pronounced as sharl

this










plus +











=








I feel sorry for pulling ghimsiang down. But that retarded ecstatic expression really sums up my awesome feeling during dinner on wednesday nights out. Quite expensive though :(

Next time I'm gonna make cheese fries by myself.

And just how many toot photos do I have of myself? Almost all of my photos are actually >:/


-----


tell them what I hoped would be uhm.. possible


like a boy looking at a domino's classic chicken pizza with extra cheese, "I'm wally hungwee nao"
weijian

you know that 1+1 will never give a 3, but still, hope of miscalculation lives in you

Last Saturday
lazing session with kokli and jianyu at lot 1. Too late to jio more ppl, but still hope to meet up for a while. We nearly succeeded in going to sing at the last min but cheap ktvs require reservation at least 1 week in advance -.- kbox: $26++, and after their calculation, they said it's about $40. O.O Okay. partyworld ktv: $90+ for 3 ppl O.O

We're not poor, but paying so much just to sing is stupid lol. A sad short night.

Last Sunday
KAYAK with weini vivien jasmine huimin swusan qingping jianyu! Woot it was fun! Partnering with huimin totally made kayaking a breeze haha. Managed to take a look at a 2m monitor lizard, a fish that jumped onto the angmohs' kayak, and nearly bumped into the looming overhanging branch in the mangrove swamp.

I was expecting us to go to the frog island or sth, but we just kayaked in and out of the swamp and tata? Too short! But ok la, could really tell that the camp goers were really tired from only a couple of hours of sleep. I can't wait for uni already.





















Ubin cycling next time! The ferry trips to and fro pulau ubin were reminiscent of the tekong days. Ah.. No way I'm going back again LOL

-----

For more than once, surveyors said I don't look like a 20. Technically I'm still a teen, but really meh, I don't have the army look? Is that supposed to be good or what! tsk.


-----




Finally! $200! Marksman! The whole company got it actually haha. Debit $16000 in SAF account!







Complaints again..
笨泥 is a fucked up platoon sergeant. Bias piece of shit. I was infuriated at his cowardice and actions this whole week, but I decided to take a step back because I might need his help in army. Now, in the civilian world, I can't really muster my indignation and criticise him. Hating someone is indeed very tiring. I'd rather ignore, just like what I did to kaiwen.


Life is math, sleep, gym, and a lil city hunter now. Gym gym gym. I hope there will be significant results because muscles training is really torturous -.- No pain no gain. garrrrrrrr. At least now I have some confidence in my physical strength, not like in the the past when I used to shun away from it! Perhaps the more essential takeaway from gym sessions is the boost in self-confidence.

-----

I happen to come across these videos..









the part where reality kicks in.. it's just sad. But 5:37 christine is so funny LOL!
How is she supposed to know she's special to you?






That's it. Rejection, awkwardness. The ending could have been:
guy:"Amy I really like you, more than a friend."
girl: "oh.." *awkward tone
*phone rings
girl: "Hello? yea.. ok ok. Bye."
girl: "look, I kind of have something right now. I'll talk to you later ok?"

or

girl: "you are a nice guy, but I think we should remain as friends, shouldn't we?"

Anyway that's not a real situation what haha.

Saturday
Went to sing with huimin jasmine kokli jianyu! It was really a busy day for me, and I screwed myself up. I ran to the kitchen to get sth, then went back to the living room to take sth, then headed back to the kitchen again. A lot of stupid trips. Plus I didn't really have the feel to sing that day! Maybe it's because of the rush... So all the emo and high songs felt weird -.- 献丑了献丑了! But it was still rather enjoyable haha. 4hours is definitely not enough!


Thereafter we strolled to holland v, huimin's and jasmine's territory, for dinner at everything with fries! Yum yum charsiew, really worth my money trying. Pretty waitresses. DIY manager.


Then it's time to get high and tipsy! 2x erdinger + 1x 1664. The swirly feeling was incredible at screwing my thoughts lol. But I could still command control on my actions, just that happiness could be attained easier with alcohol. Huimin's godlike reflexes at snap jack was overpowering. And there was nothing we could do except to challenge her drunken state! Still owned all of us -.-


After kokli and jasmine balek kampong, the m1 gang continued to linger. That sleepless night was a lil painful for me, especially with the thought of tuition the next day. But it was like opening another gate that was in a deeper level in our hearts. A precious night to be remembered. The 3 of us were of the steady type, with more lax family restrictions and easy-going personalities. Great.

-----

I was so elated when my tutee showed me his first test results! From a U/S grader, he got 59/100! That's a Bminus1! Or basically, a C! How delightful to know that your efforts has paid off! But I had trouble expressing my contentment because he could be aiming for an A, and he's a guy, and I have never joked with him, and some other factors..

Pay week :D


I could have boarded the bus if I sprinted, but I didn't. So I calmed down, held my composure and mounted onto the saddle, poised to take the next step should chance arrive. 30mins, or what seemed like an eternity, passed. Did I make the right move? Was it better to wait when I could have grasped the fleeting moment? What if that was the last chance I had, and all that I got myself prepared for was for nothing? Just a simple incident of missing the bus, yet intriguing.


-----

I couldn't help but feel that I'm like an ikan bilis. Against the plethora of blue fin tunas, salmons, red snappers, cod fish.. do I stand a chance?


like chesedale, I taste great with anything
weijian

I don't want to shout uno because I don't want this game to be over

Valentine's day is long gone but..






No harm watching a romance movie right. Nice. Every time I watch this kind of movies I will be quite hopeful for maybe 1hr, then reality will kick in and tell me I'm just another toot. Sigh.


Lol taylor swift!







Just an abrupt thought as I was typing, why are the girls who I know doing the break-up, whereas in shows, guys are the jerks? Or are guys really jerks, hence the initiation of break-up? Or is it just the difference in culture? Ah, touchy subject.


Memento, a very interesting and unique film. Oh look, it's directed by christopher nolan, director of inception, too!



Some times we need to deceive ourselves to move on..










Luckily there was a nights out on Tuesday night. Stupid spectacles broke again -.- Repair specs, go home take wet tissue, toilet paper, underwear, plastic bags, and maybe some other random stuff that I forget to bring when I booked in -.- Too forgetful alr.

After booking in, I was all ready for the river-crossing R4 2days1night fieldcamp..
HA! In the end no river-crossing! :))) Again, mosquitoes flooded our areas and just sucked like free. The best part was the night snack-cheese bread on the first night. Really 雪中送炭! Saved my poor stomach. So, I told myself I must have something nice this weekend.



Buffet at MOF! Wa the chocolate was too filling, and not very smooth. Overall I would say the money wasn't well spent. Could have better food with that money. Next, bbq buffet!!!!!


















Clarence thought the live band starts at 8pm, so we went in at 730 and waited... and while we wait, we had..










munich lager, $15.50















laager and lager in one week?

yea laager means setting up camouflage net for the vehicle, doing ramp duty, feeding mosquitoes and anticipating for further information on mission.














dinosaur bun, bigger than the palm! not very nice though.. I dislike eating the fats present in everything with pork.












peter leaves his options open, never gets attached to anything, never commits unless it's necessary, believes that there is always a better opportunity out there and prefers wider range to depth.

Is life better like that?


like a green car with 2 passengers, which is irrelevant, I thank you
