Wed!

and i'm stucked in camp. using the i-net comp now. waiting for my bloody turn to use msn on the laptop. And this stupid screen is as usual vibrating ever slightly. Damm....this is irritating on the eyes.

btw, i'm also hungry. Don't know what type of logic this indenting of night snacks is. 6 NSmen, 2 NSFs and 1 Duty officer. How many snacks we indent, 6 instant cup noodles and small little palm sized cup cakes each. Knn...at least indent more of the small little tarts/cakes lah! Logistics like these juz leave me full of 'admiration' of the army.

Thank god the next one is many months from now.

One of my associates, not friend, in camp ask whether i was a Christian. This's not the 1st time pple have asked me that qn. I wonder why? Do i have the christian look on my face, if there's even such a description. Maybe i don't swear and curse all the time. btw, i'm a FREE THINKER..even though i believe more in Christanity.

ok..time to get my msn now. that bugger's limit is up. MY TURN!

thurs fri...

way way tired man.
a)woke up at 5.25am this morning because had to in pro NSmen at 730 in camp.
b) have a darn bad cold/blocked nose to boost. must be the hip cups i had yesterday. Had the hips at 11am...lasted all the way until b4 i slept at 1030pm, now i've a sore throat....knn.
c) been working OT for the last week.

Conclusion: knowing my own body, have this bad feeling i'm going to be sick if i'm not careful. There goes my plans for today/maybe for the whole weekend too.

well...an early night today i guess. Oh joy...back to work tomorrow to do the NRS because my CC doesn't know how to use excel well enuff. while other NSFs would be at home sleeping because they've better CCs. *doubtful abt the G1 clerk turn CC though*

Grr...

wanted to blog another entry but got a splitting headache. Going to burst...need to SCREAM!but must still...blog...too bored...

Anyway drew 2 days of duty during mob. not that bad i suppose. It's juz staying back to slack...

* must remember to bk tickets for Star wars eps 3.

SAF...psst...

U know...if Singapore does go to war..it wouldn't be the inexperience of our troops, or lousy leadership that will cause our soldiers to be defeated? It would be the @#@(#*!(*#!*(!!! lousy comps which the SAF is infested in.
"Sir, Sir, enemy detected...oh wait, comp's jammed AGAIN sir. OR 2) Say...wasn't this yesterday's data...wtf's going on??"

They are pentium II comp..which have been used for like god knows how many yrs. btw..do u know the printer also jammed on me like 3 times too?

Bloody comp jammed 6 times today!!! 1st day of mob manning too..can't bear to even think of wat will happen in the next 13 days. *shudders*

man...even the my comp in G3 Br never jammed so many times on me in a day. Besides the @#*#&!*(#!*(#& simultaneous lockup junk. That wasn't that bad also..at least i could rest for 15mins. haha...unless it's the more serious lockup where only those pple in SMC can fix it.

Friends...

Met up with boyan and ulric today. Played pool with boyan in the morning. That's the good things with best buddies, u can don't meet up for like 8 months and the next time u meet, it's like nothing ever happened. There's no changes in the friendship, nothing. Fun playing pool, had some superb tyco shots. haha. (found out Zixiang's a clerk, downgraded from commando...,darryl's also a clerk, eujin ord alrdy and flew back to Australia to further his studies)

Always thought it strange that eujin actually went through NS even though he's a malaysian. I mean heck, he sure doesn't need the cash. But it seems that he thought it will be easier to find a job when it states he has served NS. Nice one friend.

Ulric...still the same old hairdo, looks. It's like the same old person from JC. Met at serene centre. Too bad they didn't have AOA(age of apocalyse) book 2 out yet. Passed him the poster and juz normal chit chats. Is it me or are the clerks in other Units besides maju camp juz slacking ard, surfing net and waiting for knock off time?

Next week's mob manning time. *yawns* 2 weeks of irritation.

Busy busy busy

went to Sim lim square this weekend ALONE which wasn't that bad. besides missing the stop and walking some distance in the rain. So decided to get the Nvidia 6600 GT graphics card which will cost $338. Going to buy it abt 2 weeks time after my bro's exams are over. Wouldn;t want to distract with the games we will be able to play with this new graphics card. Also decided to upgrade our ram by another 512 DDR Kingston Ram. $93. Lucky my bro is also chipping in to foot the bill or else that would be more than my month's allowance.

Of course to *some* pple, $431 is not even a month's allowance, more like 3/4. But then again, they do more stuff, stay in etc, so i'm not *that* envious.

Needless to say, have to draw on my little stash of cash to help tide me over. Thank goodness i don't spend much most of the time.

No luck

My luck almost always fails in certain aspects in my life. Sigh!

I suppose even if i have only 1% chance, i still have to try. Must have hope.

anyway, i hate all the bloody spam in hotmail. Sheesh! Come to think of it...y do i even have email accts? I mean no one has like messaged me for eons except for surveys, and neither do i send mail out to others. Last i sent out any mail was like a yr ago. With no reply anyway.

Observation of Office life in the Bde:
1) Pple are slackers there.
2) I cannot stand a certain G1 female clerk posted there! *G1 br pple shld know her* Sometimes she's so ARGH! irritating that i feel like slapping her and ask her to wake up her bloody idea.
3) I think with a few exceptions, i would mostly ignore these NSFs in my Bde after i ord. Can't stand them
4) Reluctance to help pple overridden by natural survival instinct to aviod getting tekan by superiors who care only abt results

Conclusion: Can't wait to ORD.

Bo money liao.

ORD countdown

since mr jaron ng is so particular abt my exact ord count down date, i will calculate roughly the amt of WORKING days i've left.

ORD = 25 Apr 05
current date = 11 Apr 05

total days= 1yr 14 days= 365+14= 379 days...to make it easier let's juz say i've 1 yr left= 365 days

1yr= 52 wks. 1 week have 2 weekends, so 52 x 2= 104 days which i dun have to work. maybe abt 10 -12 days of public holidays until i ORD?

so abt 104+ 12= max of 116 days

365- 116= 249 working days left

currently have 27 days worth of leave. by the time i ord, maybe abt 40? 42 days.

249 -42= 207 working days.

Let's say i super suay, kana a hell of a lot more guard duties, or maybe *most likely* involved in NDP, add another 40 days (burnt weekends)?

altogether abt 247 working days then

there..satisfied now JARON? sheesh...so much trouble juz to appease u...bugger.

Things to do

Things to do in the next few months

1. get my driving license. Going to go like 4 times a week man!. Ed! watch out! i'm going to catch up with u! *looks at the dent in my baulnk acct.* Well..ok..for now my mom's paying. But i don't feel good abt tat, since after all it's my own license. So i will pay her back.

2. get excused more guard duty! haha...if can't also nvm

3. Meet up with boyan to catch with after so many months

4. Get my ankle back to 100%.

Movies!

I want to watch movies! Missed out on some good ones when i was injured. Bleh!

1. Star Wars Eps 3: oh yea...even though i don't like the 1st 2 eps, old habits die hard, i was a die hard star wars fan!

2. Fantastic 4: Marvel productions. Enuff said.

3. Sin City: heard it's a real good movie. But checked the various cinemas. Seems like it's coming out in may even though it's out in the US in 15 Apr?? have to check further.

I wish they had a transformers movie. haha! oh yea..they had one (looks at the DVD disc bought from HMV on the shelf), ok then, i want another one!

Look on the bright side of life..

New S1 came in. Interesting how small the world can be since it's a person who was in the same platoon as hongxin. Since hx speaks well of him and maybe from my own gut feeling, he seems like a pretty good person. Eitherway, hx is a pretty good judge of pple. As he says Victor= fucker! haha. Might be true from certain angles u know.


Anyway, decided to adopt a more positive outlook on life. Enuff bitching abt the army, guard duties and thong thong. If/ most likely he wants to give me more duties, let him then! 2,3 heck even 8 or 12, I don't give a fucking damm! Same goes with army work! Do, get the job done and be done with it. Like Alvin said to me, once the foot steps out of camp, all work issues are left behind. YA!

No of days b4 ORD = 379 days

*379 bottles of beer left on the wall, 379 bottles of beer left on the wall, knock one down and 378 bottles of beer on the wall*

ok...going crazy. Need a packet of sweets....

Back to work

CMI....come back straight away mountain pile of work to be done. Bua ta han! Do ippt reminders, get hounded by ah thong over guard duty. See bua suay. (not sure abt spelling here)

3rd day come back, ah thong call my hp to say i own him 2 duties. haha...after i told Shal (his MP right hand man) that i got excused a futher 2 months. oh yeah! 4th day i come back, super suay..bump into him at the mess. KNN...i swear he got nothing better to do except hound me abt the 2 duties i 'own' him. oh wait, juz remembered, CMI THONG really got nothing better to do. he only got guard duties to do. How forgetful of me. Any other duty would overload his severely limited brain capacity. Nevermind...i had a great master in chao keng by the name of ALVIN ANG THE GREAT! haha....Must later pull out the stunts knowledge he imparted to me.

Feel like fainting over my workload now. haha...still not used to coming back after such a long break. Stupid mob manning. 490 NSmen to call b4 Dy comes back on thurs. *faints* Thank god it happens only twice a year.

Camp's no longer as fun as last year. All the good pple are ORDING. leaving mostly only the scrums behind. Eric, Alvin, Teck chuan, G1 br pple ( too many idiots to list down), Derek too all left camp. Sigh..

Conclusion: I HATE NSF WORK, LIFE, PAY..anthing else i've forgotten?

good old days

Missing the time i spent in primary/early secondary school with the old group of friends i had. Must be the cool weather which made me think of those times. Isn't strange that such good times should bring such moody thoughts?

Where are my friends from yesteryear now? Eujin, Darryl, Zixiang? The only person whom i still keep in touch is Boyan. Then again, haven't contact him for like 8 months. Last i met any of the rest was like 5-6? years ago.


I still remember the rides we took from Eujin's house(near HCJC) to Jurong Pt. Took 154. Haha...bus rides always took over a hour. I guess we were just so busy catching up that the hour juz flew by. Movies then back to eujin' s house. Those were great memories.

Horny eujin, CMI zixiang and Darryl, great at fencing...haha..i wonder where/ what they are doing now?
