in a few hours time i got to be back in camp counting down the days to book out once again...
...a few hours...
that's damn sad...anyway just to blog to share some jokes bout the happenings around camp!

was at range that day, didn't get marksman so that's wave goodbye to the $200...sian...that could have been used to go out buy some stuff and blah blah blah...anyway the joke of that day was a conversation of a certain sergeant with my buddy...

sergeant: eh where you live huh?

buddy: teck whye, chua choa kang that area lor

sergeant:(thinks for a while) there got one mansion one ah?

buddy:??

sergeant: the mansion haunted one la

buddy: not sure leh, never hear before

sergeant: (thinks for a while again) teck whye chua choa kang...oh! got one coffeshop one right?

me: (trying very hard not to laugh)

buddy: huh?

sergeant: there, the coffeeshop face the road one right?

me: (still trying hard not to laugh out loud)

actually i was thinking...wth! which area in singapore does not have a coffeshop? and moreover, he still tries to describe the coffeeshop by saying it faces the road! tell me, does it help by asking if your estate is the one with grass patches around your blocks?...such is the conversation of a regular in my camp...talk bout brains and brawn, i think he only got the latter...

anyway, there are more jokes bout him and more quotes from him but i don't have enough time to write them down...ll try to next week( i realised i dun do whatever i say from past week)

ah! this week in camp doing all the rubbish stuff, basically called SAI GANG, or fatigue work to put it better. it onvolves shifting cupboards beds and whatever to some place from level 3 to 1 and then to 1 to 3 to 4 again! talk about the decisive force once again, anyway, we are better actors and house movers than soldiers i think...

anywa, enuff of camp stuff, its always boring to talk bout that...weekend was good i guess, meet up with song and dan and pak, wantedt o watch soccer but in the end i didn't get to watch cos my father went to wash his car and that wasted a lot of time...then we came back and played some mahjong while pak was 2 timng us by chatting to a certain gal online...anyway i was really tired...too tired to even watch anime with them..dan left at 3 plus, then the 3 guys sleep together lor, i took the matteress cos its shielded away from the aircon!anyway, it was a good sortta reunion la, everyone looks good to me...hoping that there will be another one on the hols to come...

this week have been some good and bad...i neglected my dear cos i was too tired and keep sleeping while she studies, luckily she is very understanding! but i still feel a bit bad...sian...shall make it up to her next week lor( this one must rem!)

till then, see ya guys!

they say in the army, you learn life lessons, makes buddies that goes thru thick and thin with you and when boys turns into man( i still believe that happens during puberty) anyway, is the army really that powerful? maybe it is cos in this 2 years of your lifetime, you will constantly ask yourself this question "why must we serve?" and soon you would be so not bothered at all cos you realised you can never change much about the happening in life anyway no matter how...

anyway, being a good man( as i suppose so) i volunteered to take over the guard duty on friday morning cos my buddies needa rest for their IPPT on friday afternoon...so i have to leave at around 2 am in the morning to report cos there were some activities going on for other companies...

so the idea was, after ippt, the poeple who were suppose to take over guard will come and take over us and then we(the gurads) at the guard house can go back and book out cos we are got gold for our IPPT test long long ago...anyway, that didn't happen...cos those that were suppose to come sub us didn't come at all, they booked out together with the rest of the company cos they say that there isn't any RT the next day so we will do duty for the friday till sat! DAMN YOU ALL! we have to do a 30 hr shift!

so in the army when shit happens, somebody has to catch it. we were the unlucky ones...why? cos we wanted to be the good men and volunteered ourselves to take over guard...get this clear if you happen to be reading this somehow, we did you a favour, and this is not the way to pay us back understand? dun climb all over our heads and shit all over us...

"man only do things which are benificial to them...in this case, if there was a RT on sat, confirm the guards will come cos they all wanna skip that...but if its book out, you just hug that baton and shield and bitch about us in the guardroom lor, cos i'm going home and i dun care!"

人不为己,天诛地灭-i finally understand that

a good man no more in camp...

the SSS - the story about stupid and stubborn

there was this guy who was called stupid and his friend called stubborn. erm, that is their real name k?cos in this land of the rabaraba(LOTR) your name reflects what kinnda people you are, anyway, today's focus is on stupid and stubborn...we'll talk about the rest when i got time ya?

let's do a background introduction on our focus today,
no.1 focus-stupid-as his name suggest, he is stupid, cannot understand what others are trying to put across, takes a long time to understand something new, and readily does things which people don't usuall do cos its stupid...
no. 2 focus-stubborn-well, what else can i say?he doens;t listen, always thinks he is right, his method the best. not open to any ideas, would rather take the long route when there is a shortcut or easier way out.

so one fine day in LOTR, stupid was once again seen pondering about some task that he was suppose to complete...oh maybe he doesn't ponder much cos he is stupid and can never figure out what is going on...all that he can do was stare blankly at his task and hopefully they will come alive and work by themselves! if only he was a mage(opps!digressing!)

then there was stubborn who came by and looked at stupid, asking him what is he suppose to do, as usual, stupid's reply came very much later cos he dunnoe what to say...anyway, the explanation was done finally and so stubborn decides to help stupid on one condition, everything will be under stubborn's charge, stupid just follows...

so you think everything will turn out well? let's just say it was suppose to because stupid just listens and stubborn just commands, ideal in w wokring world...but, this will only lead to low productivity in the force, and stubborn never understands that cos he is like dat, and stupid cannot do anything cos stupid dun think...such is the problem in the land of rabaraba...

so little kids...what's the morale of the story? you cna be stupid or stubborn only one at a time, dun ever let stubborn and stupid mix no matter what...and that is exactly what is happening in the camp....somebody save me!!!!

anyway, was thinking of topics to write about in the blog when i have free time in camp...titles includes 1) the SS Story-the story of stupid and stubborn 2) being a good man doesn't pay off in camp 3) a very unfateful day of a soldier. oh well, i shall take my time then..check them out k?haha( i realised i am typing this entry first and the others later, so i guess you will read them all before you come here anyway)

oh btw, yest i won $$ but i'm still in a deficit. however, winning rocks and losing sucks dun you agree? so when you start winning, you feel good even though your winnings aren't enuff to actually cover your losses. anyway i WON! haha. maybe we shld share some pointers on the upcming matches in the weeks to come so we can all huat( win) together!

hElp! i'm a maple addict!

with so much block leave to clear, i stayed at home most of the time to play maplestory! or rather mapleSEA cos its in South East Asia.btw, i'm a Archer in the game, level 23 now....okie, now i will share with you some tips on how to spot a maple addict...read carefully, maybe you'll discover someone close to you that behaves this way...

1) they are only free when the server is undergoing maintainance(like now!) to do other stuff such as blogging...the more serious case could sit in front of their com whole day forgoing food and water and something air? to carry on thier quest in MapleSEA!

2)they go the webby www.maplesea.com to check out the latest happening everytime they go online or making that webby their homepage so everytime they click on the IE explorer icon, they see Maplesea and automatically they will just close that window and click on the Maplesea icon and the rest is history i guess...

3)they go around trying to make their com a maple com. downloading screen shots, wallpapers, and even their blog can be about maple...

4) they will not talk about maple anywhere on the roads but they can just break into a conversation with anyone if they heard that the other party plays maple, if the other person is of a higher level, the more the lower level one would want to find out his nick and the timing he plays...

5) this is the ultimate, they will walk around Singapore and take extra notice into bushes and grassy spots cos they think there may be monsters lurking at every corner! sometimes, they will attack mushrooms at roadsides and also those snails that popped out after a rain. the most severe case would be them collecting the shells and mushrooms caps to sell them somewhere( i dunnoe where though)

so guys, take note k? there may be such people around. but there is no reason to fear cos in MapleSEA, there is no Player Kill, which means that no matter what, the players cannot fight among themselves which makes them harmless to all humans. they are only a threat to snails, mushrooms etc etc. so they better watch out!

all in 3 days back at camp...

wow!that 3 days back at camp was kindda happening though we slacked quite a bit too, how ironic can that be huh?slack cos they actually dun have any activities lined up for us, basically we just went for a IMT shoot(individual marksmenship training) and unpacked our stuff from brunei...happening cos i was thrown into another detachment, which means i will be under the 2 commanders which i dun like and alone in a unfamiliar place...damn it! why must fate be so cruel to me?!?*screams in agony* btw, i intially wanted to titled this entry as revenge of the drill, cos my block back in camp is going thru some major renovation to improve the living condition there,just as we were moving out, this is what i call "shit happens"...been thru enuff shit, hopefully i'll open my eyes to see a bright light...

oh since i am on the topic of camp, i found someone who can personify stupidity in my camp!aha! oh well, not that i'm mean or what, but its really true...it'll be a long story if i describe what he does to us so i'm leaving the details out...i'm on my way to see what else can be personified by the people back in camp. its a blessing he is a regular, cos i think he will most probably die in the outside working world.haha.okie, shall tok more bout them in the next entryif i rem that is...

anyway, i'm on leave once again. and i'm playing hard and tinkering on what to do next actually...went to K box with dear today! then i realise i CAN only sing 1 song outta the many i selected...*shakes head*...nvm, i'm a one hit wonder kid yeah?(nowadays, really have to live with some form of self encouragment or else will die ah)well, lost quite a lot of $$ on soccer betting, darn! gonna stay away for a while...maybe i should sit down and calculate my losses...oh my! why did i say losses?darn! i'm really in a deficit! no winnings to count...

currently watching some jap show, bout a girl who can set things on fire at will!oh, towards the end she can control water too! anyway, how cool can that be huh? i can have a list of things i wanna burn!haha, okie i was just kidding k?before someone really thinks i'm an arsonist...

aight aight, gonna end my entry here. going to bed le i guess...wil continue updating tml i guess...
