It seems that I am missing the opportunity again today. It is not that I am not interested, just that the timing is not right, when I cannot commit fully. I think my passion is still there, but then it is not at the right time. I don't know if there is another chance, but I hope still have.

SunEx on Monday. This will be the scariest 20 plus hours for this month.

It is not that I don't cherish this opportunity, but then I just feel that I should recuperate first because of the upcoming important period. But if I don't go, is there any more chance? But I am really sick leh!!! f**k!

Guard duty yesterday, just came back this morning, feeling quite tiring. First guard duty as a specialist, doing guard 3IC. But Saturday basically doing guard 2IC job.

Coming to week 4 of the mortar (towed) course, so far haven't really interact with the other trainees yet. More intense lesson coming up I suppose.

Feeling tired now, shall update more later.

Nice compose song 白旗 by 徐佳瑩, together with 台北愛樂青少年兒童合唱團. I really hope when she cut her own album, can include this song as well.

3rd SP ASC

3rd ASC meet up dinner at Glasshouse on 160808. 13 of out 27 people turn up for the dinner. Waited 1 hr 30 mins for the table.

Headed to Boat Quay for a drink after dinner. Some went home, some turned up only for the drinking session. We entered into an Irish pub. Ordered Baileys and Chivas. We headed home at around 0130h.Looking forward for the next meet up.

Why are we having such expression? Is it related to the lady in green?


I was really looking at the menu, not the pictures!

12 and a half weeks has finally come to an end. Upon receiving the posting at the last day of SISPEC, lots of question came upon my head, as I had no idea what artillery is about. Day one, was meeting up with Melvin and Jonathan. Jonathan is late, so Melvin and I were waiting at the guardroom. We were one of the earliest there, as we saw a lot of stranger CPL carrying duffer bags and field pack in. Monkey-see-monkey-do, more and more people were standing beside us, don't waiting for what. Finally, one of the sgt asked us to proceed to the AI lobby. We get out camppass with a big 'TR' (which represents trainee). I tease Melvin with it as his initial is also 'TR'. We were then guide by one of the sgt (should be sgt YY) to level 6, where our bunk is. He then read out the list of names by bunk and bed level.

Being in bunk 5, I know nobody there. The first guy who interact with me was Kah Huei. There were only 7 person at that bunk, and I was sitting on bed 7. We rest a while before unpacking. Later, Kah huei n I realise we got the bed number mixed up, so we decided to shift the whole campboard instead of shifting all the stuff in the cupboard.

At 10 plus, we proceed to the lecture room. Here comes another guy who entered into the room with his duffer bag and field pack. I regconise him as he was one of my coy mate in SISPEC. He then explained the reason for being late. He was later allocated to my bunk.

As time goes by, my interaction with my bunkmate is increasing, where the bond is forming. Soon, it's the platoon bonding and even with towed course people.

At week 6, SAF commitment day start. Being the security personnel, we enforce the security.

"So what is your purpose here?"

"My purpose here is to deny any unauthorize personnel from entering the parade square within my sector of responsibility"

"Where is your sector of responsibility?"

"Allow me to orientate you to my map, on the left is the road leading to carpark C, followed by block 19 building where the swimming pool is, and on the right will be the warriors' hall. My sector of responsibility is the left side of the road leading to carpark C, to the right side of the road where the black signboard is, leading to carpark I."

My partner, Wen Bin, the sgt in charge and I makes up area Zulu. We started talking cock during rest time. However, our job really sucks when the actually day comes.

After SAF day, towed side had their 2 weeks of 'xiong' period and soon POP. When they POP, we still have around 3 to 4 weeks left, and that's when our intensive training comes.

Training -> SumEx -> live firing->POP.

We had our POP yesterday. A simple award ceremony is held in one of the lecture room, with the presentation of some awards and certificates and presentation of rank. Congrats Guo Hong, Melvin and Ping Jim. We wear our velcro rank to lunch at the cookhouse, which is out last meal together as a course. Soon, area inspection and we bid goodbye. All the best people, meet up soon and keep in touch! =)

130808 - ORD 3SG

There are so much things to let it out, I just feel like letting it all out, however, whenever I wanted to do so, something just suppress me from doing it.

When he ask me if I am happy with it, I just could not give him a definite answer. There's just too much of the mixed feelings. I seriously think life sucks.

The last phase of the course, live firing, has finally come to an end. Woke up at 2 plus in the morning and shoot all the way to 1 plus the next day, which is around 23 hrs. 080808 is not a good day for me. I feel kind of depress.

Today is national day. Singapore celebrate 43rd birthday this year. Slight rain just now, luckily it doesn't affect the show.

Last week to 3sg.

4 days to POP.

The hotate cream udon with cheese from Waraku . (just look at the size of the freaking bowl!!)

Kai Yong's 21st birthday celebration on his chalet




Hoohoo!!! Summary Exercise is over, meaning it's near to the end of the course.
This week:
Monday --> Remaining Lecture(s) to be covered
Tuesday --> MD test
Wednesday to Friday --> Summary Exercise!!! Quite tiring because not much of sleep, but however, not as bad as I thought. I think I make a lot of mistakes, but I think I got learn from it more or less.

Bunk 5 lunch gathering yesterday at Marina Square's Waraku Japanese Restaurant. 1st timer there, so took quite a while to decide what to eat. Finally, decide to try the hotate cream udon with cheese. Tasted not too bad, but a bit expensive. Just no idea why would they want to use such a huge basin-size bowl for serving. After eating, we just roam around marina square and sentec area. Saw some familiar faces at suntec. (around 6 of them!)

Watched "Money no enough 2" just now. Before watching, saw some negative comment of this movie from the newspaper. After watching, I don't think it's as bad as they claim to be. As usual, Jack's movie has got a silmilar chacteristic. Almost all of his movies plays on audience's feelings. His movie are usually touching, educational and funny. Touching will usually base on the kinship between family. The show also voice out what problems do typical singaporeans' faced. Therefore I was kind of supportive of his movie all these while. He really know what singaporean wants to watch. For this, it is worth watching. =)

21 hours to book in.
10 days to POP.

For the next coming 2 weeks, will be the most xiong week. Please don't rain AT ALL for this coming wed to fri.

Things that are yet to be done by this week:
1) Watch 'Dark Knight' (hopefully next weekend)
2) Buy essential things for field camp
3) Master all the knowledge needed for summary exercise. (Very impt!)

Wanted to pass out as Sgt soon.
Wanted to stay on at khatib camp even more.

14 days to National Day 2008.
20 hours to book in. (book out timing really very limited!)

Having read about the news of the famous monk who had appeared on TV before on the annual charity show. He was being charge for doctoring the account and other reasons. Didn't expect this will happen again after the NKF case, was really kind of disappointed with the system. After NKF case, it shows a fall in the number of people in donating money already, how about after Ren Ci's case? Hope that after all these cases, it will not affect people from donating money, as we know that there are still needy people out there who still need our help to support them.

"sHiNe fOr sInGaPoRe"
Hear it a few more times and you will love it. Looking forward to national day again, even though from now till 080808 will be a damn busy period. Prefer Joi Chua's version (Chinese Version), for I feel that she sings better.

12 days to "Money no enough 2"
21 days to NDP 08!
25 days more to POP!!

4 more hours to book in!! ARGH...

Day by day passes and today is the end of week 9 as trainee in Khatib Camp. Towed side just finish their field camp, POP-ing in few days' time. For my side, 3 weeks left to POP.

This week learn more practical things, so far so good as it's kind of fun. Confident is gaining, hope this can maintain. Fail FD test, still got chance?

Have been going to the library these few weeks, borrowed some books which captures my attention. I guess I am more or less being influence by the people there. Reading books now is really a form of entertainment for me, when there isn't any MP3s allowed and TV as entertainment.

This week is a tiring week, however, more to come! Endure for 3 more weeks!

This week lectures again. Learn about the vehicle, parts etc etc. Next week starting of the 'xiong' phrase. Test again on Monday, let me score well.

'Towed' side this week tough already, gonna be our turn soon.

Watched "It's A Boy Girl Thing" on Wednesday. It's really OMG!~ Samaire Armstrong is really beautiful!! I really enjoy the show, though the story is quite expected.

Listen to this year's NDP song, hmm..not too bad la, think listen a few more times will start to like it. Looking forward to national day, after that, POP!!

Life hasn't been good these period. I hate the way it is. I just don't feel good. Feeling depress as time goes by. I am low morale test after test. Why is it that there are such bastards in this world? Good soul always die earlier than baddies. How true? I have been trying and trying, but to no avail. Am I not trying hard enough or is it my problem? I understand that winners don't quit, quitters don't win, but the process of losing is really bad.

Being I/C for this week, overall was alright, however, some small mistakes. Because of that, I can actually feel the depression coming. I just can't take it easy. I just feeling very tired right now...

This week involved in the SAF commitment day. Some of the days we went to SAFTI for our duty. Saw Vincent there as one of the marching contingent. Next week will still be the same thing. Test on this coming Monday, hope to pass with flying colors. Another batch of BMT has just come to an end, congrats to those who are able to go to their desired posting. It has been quite some time since I saw my sgt in BMT, kind of miss them and wondering how's life for them. Do they still remember us?

Coming to July soon, more tougher days are coming. Eventually, hear only 2 to 3 out of 40 plus of us will stay back and become instructors, whereas others will be posted to unit. Hear life as an instructor is good, chances are slim, but will still hope to be one =D.

Have been missing rowing nowadays, perhaps race period is near. Sometimes will miss those good times.

Cleared my SOC, had made improvement, but still striving for better result next time.

In this camp, saw quite a number of people like primary , secondary and polytechnic friends. Quite unexpected to see them. Most of them actually are in OCS now. Sometimes will tend to envy them. You can actually see the different between an officer and a sgt. Both earn what they have, via different route and process. If I could turn back time, I would have definitely work harder towards what I want in every aspect of life.

Changed the blogskin, seems to be more comfortable with the color. Go Green!

C079 ex-classmates at Michelle's birthday chalet

Azfar and Wei Jie

Wei Jie and Shi Han


Attended this year's ceremony on 23rd May 2008. Apply 'off pass' to attend, luckily manage to do so. This year graduands of C079 include Azfar, Lai Hong, Yi Hui, Vivian and me. As for Jia Fuu, hmm..dunno when he wants to graduate.

Anyway, posted to new place. Shall be there for 13 weeks, should be ending at 13th Aug.

24th May, Michelle 21st birthday. Went for her birthday chalet with the rest of the ex-classmates such as azfar, kai yong, me, vivian, jasmine, amelia, hui xin, eugenia and lastly ji wu.
Went to e!hub after booking out on friday, we watch "missing" and bowl. Have not been bowling for some time already. Quite suck at it now.

Tomorrow will be week 5, so far nothing xiong, just that a lot of calculation part, which is damn stress. Test this thursday, hope can pass.

OCS had their commission parade yesterday, wish them all the best

June race soon, all the best for the team.

Last week marks the end of the 47th BSLC with the 28km route march. I was feeling tiring after the 1st break, where we were continuing the 7km part. My leg muscle were feeling ache. Subsequently, the journey was getting tougher. I can remember there was one part which I couldn't walk straight, having my eyes struggling to open. Fatigue + route march done at night, it was really a very tiring process. 7 hours later, all the companies reached back the FUP to stand by for the POP. Everyone was tired. The parade ended with our PC putting on our Velcro rank. We then head for breakfast and area cleaning for the last time.

Posting were out. All were scattered around the whole SAF again with various number of vocations.

What Wong Wei Jie Means

You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts. You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it. You have the power to rule the world. Let's hope you're a benevolent dictator! You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Soon, it's the 4th month of the year. I spend the 4th of april this year in camp, as the next day I was doing my duty. Didn't really celebrate this year as I was really busy that week, leaving the free time to sleep at home. Life now very standard, everyday seems to be the same, wake up, training, sleep. The course is ending in 3 weeks time, meaning this 1 or 2 weeks will be tiring and boring. Well, suck it up!~ That's what we have to do when doing something we don't enjoy doing.

Also Happy Birthday to all those April babies.

Test and test and more test! So as long I can pass all, or maybe better than borderline pass, I am contented with it already. SOC, good timing please!

3 more weeks to the end of this course, please allow time pass faster!

We actually met each other in BMTC. My primary school classmate, which happens to be one of my coy's PL SGT.

Wei Jie and Wei Xiang, the famous 3401.

Some of the CSMs in Pegasus Platoon 3... CSM = Company Shortest Man



Posted to new unit, got to 're-know' new people there. Travelling from east to west sucks. Platoon 3 people were split all over. Still get to see most of them there, just that in different company. As for my Coy, only 3 are from Platoon 3 last time. Overall, my section-mate people are alright.

Derrick were telling me about John Titor, a time traveller. It says that he come from the year 2036, and blog his prediction on the future. Somehow, it came true though his description were vague. Shall read up more about him as it seems interesting. 7 weeks more...
