The hardest part is waking up in the morning and remembering what you had been trying so hard to forget last night.

Coming to an end of the weekend...

The very first week of the new camp...

No major complains.

My section in charge seems to be a slacker himself, given so, I foresee frequent RSO.

And FYI, My staff sergeant shares the same name as our very president.

Staff Nathan. Funny, humorous and laid back....

Though travelling is a pain in the neck, I should still appreciate the fact that others ain't given a choice to choose if they wants to stay in.

Had a great time chilling out at Captain Chee Peng's crib on a Friday evening.

Half bottle vodka with cranberry/ blackcurrant makes me a happy man.

Of course. Great company less the fact that noob Lu is down with flu and slept 99.7891346% of the time.

FREE BREAKFAST INCLUDED.

LOL

Been waking up in the wee hours of the early morning every working day.

And for that, I'll be giving FIVE people morning call tomorrow!

Hahaha....

Its about time to start the countdown to another Christmas...

As I grow older, I realise I'm not that excited about the season of giving anymore.

Thats all folks...

God bless you!

Baba

P.D.S; Get well soon Noob Lu~

In the mist of adjusting to new camp...

So far, it has been quite a challenge.

Haha...

For some laughs~

During class, a teacher trying to teach good manners, asks the students:

"Michael, if you were on a date, having supper with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?"

"Just a minute, I have to go pee."

"That would be rude and impolite! ! ! What about you Peter, how would you say it?"

"I am sorry , but I really need to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back."

"That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table.

And you Pepito, are you able to use your intelligence for once and show us your good manners?"

"I would say: 'Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope you'll get to meet after supper."

LOL

God bless you!

While it is important to win, Its even more important to remain undefeated.

Am finally over the mental torture of all the posting stuffs.

Got badly mind fucked through the past week especially the waiting time in the S1 posting office where our postings were first revealed to us.

Though not all of us stayed together(Impossible anyway), I am very extremely pleased with my posting to FMW19.

Totally nothing to do with going to Keat Hong camp, but the people that I'm with.

Am left with Lu Jie and Chang Ming, from a big crowd to a small clique.

Felt a little odd at first, but as time passed, things weren't that bad altogether.

Its still about thinking right and staying positive.

While it is important to win every challenges that we face in our everyday life,

Its even more important to remain undefeated by the melancholy gloomy inner monster.

The moment I decided to get over all the whining and complaining, things indeed took a turn for the better and best.

Its Friday without me noticing.

Reported and fall in at the new depot for morning run. Exercising makes one cheerful.

Sleep slacked and passed time sitting at the canteen with fellow former trainees and had a mini feast at Ayer Rajah camp for the last time.

"Bersu rite"-ed at four thirty! God!!! Good life!

Caught sight of the bus we're taking the minute we got to the stop. Cool shit.

Went for a swim at Red Hill with the sun still bright and strong.

Caught the train heading towards Pasir Ris the minute we got to the platform.

Can't help but to think that it has everything to do with setting your thinking right!

The minute you decide to be win and remain undefeated, everything falls into place!

The actual unit conditions shall be revealed on Monday.

Keat Hong Keat Hong....

On a side note, sorry for giving the drinking session a miss Chang Ming/Chu Hao and all the rest who were there.

LOL

God bless you,

Baba Lim

Time speeds too, why no speeding ticket?

Time passed especially quickly these few days.

Not to mention it was a long weekend for me since Friday.

Friday(Cohesion day)-> Saturday-> Sunday-> Monday(Off day)

Four days in a row. Cool shit.

Could still remember vividly Lu jie telling me last Friday about how fast time actually past and in no time I'll be on the train to red hill blah blah blah...

A week has passed. Damn...

And yes, I will be passing out from the three months course soon. Real soon...

Can't help feeling sad and emotional about leaving this place and all.

I just met a really close friend of mine whom I haven't met up with face to face ever since I enlisted till about four hours ago.

Had a good catching up with her over all the unhealthy cum fattening yet nice food.

As Ailin was complaining about how fast time flies that she feels that age is catching up with her, seeing people around her getting married. It suddenly brought me back to the random statement she made about her parents attending a relative's wake.

This made me thought to myself.

If seeing people around you getting married makes u feel old...

Doesn't our parents who see people around them leaving the world passing on feel fear???

Many different time with different people at different places.

Friends would have this weird conversation about what superpower would you want if you had a choice? This question would usually be asked after movies like Spiderman, Superman, Fantastic Four, X-men etc.

I bet someone has posted you the same question before.

I think I know my answer for the most wanted superpower now and I'm certain about it.

No more stupid lame shit power like being able to fire off water/ice/steam/fire from hands/eyes/mouth... Teleporting from point A to B...

I want to be able to time travel.

Not so that my wife will become time traveler's wife. But to turn back time and live every moment to the fullest and have no regrets.

Guess I'll dread tomorrow for its the last day as a whole AVTW BTT35.

Yet another phrase of my NS life...

Times up! Lights out!

God bless you!(and he have the best plans for you too =))

An Apologetic Heart...

Woke up rather early for a Saturday morning at seven thirty, due to the early knock out the night before.

Was the second cohesion day for the wing and I got a little too hyped up and gulped down five glasses of beer. I admit, I'm weak in drinking. Heh...

And especially weak in drinking BEER!

Amazingly, I didn't puke, just got dippsy and tired. Tired like a dog and sleeping at any opportunity I've got.

With this, I'd made my DEAR BUDDY JOANN really pissed.

Was suppose to be meeting her after I'm done with the cohesion thing. Intended to head home for a quick wash up, but i hit the bed immediately and unknowingly.

Been awhile since she call me a cheebye and refuse to reply my message.

And yes, for my old blogspot. I didn't set it to invited readers only, I was just bored of it and wanted to do something new, yet doesn't bare to delete it off. Thus, the best I thought was to set it to author only.

Sorry again bitch.

I'm really sorry.

Please give me a ring when you're not so angry.

I shall buy u smokes and beer!

LOL

Your Sincerely,

Baba

A good day makes you look forward to another~

Barely touch home about half an hour hour ago.

Been slouching in front of the desktop talking on phone.

But, today was different, booked out rather on time as compared to the past few days.

Went out for dinner AGAIN.

Balls to saving up and cooking instant noodles for dinner (Unhealthy and unwise option anyway)

I think I should just give it up.

Anyway, not much of a chance to have such dinners with the same clique of buddies.

Was actually drizzling when we booked out, walking in rain deciding on where to go and what to eat. With laughter!

Maybe was just that the theory and practical tests are over and we're more or less done with the shitty stuffs here at AVTW.

For a minute whist doing my practical test for Bionix suspension unit, I feel so much like a BX veteran. Hahahahaha

Another long weekend to look forward to.

With a second round of cohesion day tomorrow and the possibility of having Monday off on mind, its not easy to be gloomy.

Dinner at Peopye wasn't cool, I find that people(civilians- In NS language) have this tendency of taking advantages of uniform personnel. Shall not go into greater details, may not know who are the exact readers of my posts. Might just attract the wrong audiences.

Anyway, I always have this feeling that people are always awaiting for opportunities to STOMP uniform personnel and fault us for the little minor things that we do in their own perspective causes uncomfort to them.

I may be paranoid, but its just an infinitesimal thought which cross my mind.

Lights out!

God bless you!

You had a bad day

Ever had a bad day where you tried so hard to keep yourself thinking positive but your mind is generating the exact opposite vibes which made you curse and swear with a forceful smile on your face about how smelly the day had been for you?

Well... I just did....

Imagine...

Hearing so much about the terrorizing stories about posting that has been weighing you down badly early in the morning.

Taking a duper difficult theory test which is followed by another tough shit practical test by angry staffs and sergeants.

Booking in at 0715 and booking out at 1945.

Having to dump loads of rubbish which wasn't even contributed by us yet always being responsible for them.

Seeing your best pals all gloomy with unjust weekend guard duties and dads having to wait for an hour plus because of some inflexible minded people.

I have been telling myself that for everyday is a brand new day to be looking forward to, not another day to dread even before it commence. So please, let tomorrow which spells the long weekend be a happy day for everyone.

May all book out with a glee in their heart and a smile on their face.

God bless you!

Good Laugh, Great Company~

In my conscientious effort to not let this blog be another dead log soon after the dead it was born.

I managed to log into Blogspot and pen down another entry for someday I might look back and find myself a all talk but no effort bastard.

By right, I should be doing my guard duty tonight and should be pulling a long face, suffering from emo attack. But here I am blooging at the comfort of my home, in my half revamped room, slouching in my chair blogging. Yes, I sold my guard duty. For the first time and I hope the last too...

Two packs of smokes and 10 bucks with a guilty heart. Felt really bad after selling it off to Brendon.( Someone who I might blog about soon)

To make the best out of my thirty plus dollar. I gathered a group of four for dinner at Pasir Ris E-hub for dinner. Nihon Murah Sushi. Didn't really have a very good appetite these days. keep getting the feeling of food chocked above my stomach below my chest. Anyway, the main attraction of E-hub is still the cup walker bubble tea. Never once failed to ease my cravings for sweet stuffs. Good laugh, great company.

The thought of passing out in less than a weeks' time kinda demoralize me badly. But in order to keep my principle of not having regrets intact. I choose to enjoy the company as much as I could instead of getting all worried about the postings for new unit.

Just took a peek at my alarm clock and to my horror that I am left with barely five hours of sleep to waking up and starting of the daily workshop routine. Its time to sign off and look forward to the start of a brand new day!

God bless you!

The Virgin Post

On a random excitment which I hope would last longer than a sudden urge to start new log.

Here I am penning(typing) down the random thoughts on my mind.

Been near six months since I enlisted into the armed forces servicing the nation.

Plenty of typical complains... Like how much a waste of time NS can be.

But I would not deny the fact that its indeed a life changing experience for every individual boy and a platform which boys evolve and matured into young man being prepared and ready for bigger things in life.

Been taught many logics which we have all known way back into the junior years of our life but never made to practice.

Not much difference from what many other guys would claim.

The best thing you'll get from NS are the people you meet, the bonds u form, the friends you made.

And I've made plenty~

God bless you!
