Lion-Heart

1 more week before the pee O pee starts.. and i'll get a one week break before i'm posted to somewhere we all don't know.. driving test coming up again.. *shudders* i promise i'm gonna enjoy myself for that week before embracing another level of challenge the week after.. so peeps that wanna meet up can make an appointment during that week.. ahaha..

completed the 16km route march without much difficulty.. guessed we're all seasoned to the load and the walking.. failed my standard obstacle course.. it was kinda sian.. because it was like most people passed it la.. well, i did all without much difficulty except for the low rope.. it was indeed a pity because we were given 3 tries for each obstacles.. it was very tiring because we gonna run about 700m with our rifle and stuff before climbing over the low wall, the vertical hand bar, jumped over the barbed wire, swing trainer aka monkey bar, low rope, balance beam, jacob's ladder and etc.. on my 3rd try on the rope, i got up about 3/4.. 1 more loop and leap and i'll be there.. but to think i slipped off at the crucial moment.. fortunately there was no rope burn.. but still it was so close yet so far.. nevertheless, the spirit was still there to complete the remaining obstacles..

think it's a psychological barrier i guess.. or i didn't get the technique the right way.. i practised the techniques lotsa of times.. bah.. it's over le.. no point crying over spilt milk.. i'll just have to complete it the next time.. RawR!!

there's gonna be this games' day coming soon whereby companies will compete in different telematches.. i'm gonna participate in the game called Siamese twins and my leg will be tied to another of my platoon mates' and we have to complete the small obstacles in the shortest time.. i'm also recruited for the tug-o-war.. it's gonna be a tough fight with those people that twice the size of me from other companies.. since i'm one of the fattest and biggest in the company, time to do something for the company.. haha.. but come to think of it, i lost 5kg leh.. 70kg and below.. hm.. haha.. actually it's not just 'bout size but technique as well..

new song composed by my mates.. it's kinda mean la but this is done to a guy that most of us boycotted.. because he's lazy, selfish, feign injury during training and does not lend a helping hand to others.. so guys, please give help to those in need whenever possible and don't let 49 people hate you..

it goes something like this..
A is for Adrian
B is for Bryan
C is for Chow Ken
D is for Damien
E is for Er Quan
F is for FANG KEYI!!

Hey don't be a fool..
Somebody says he's a Chao Keng Kia (change to CCB also can)
He's a chao keng kia (CCB)
Chao Keng, Chao Keng (CB, CB)
All the way
We fuk him here, we fuk him there
We've found ourselves a hole..
A big asshole.

i know this sound kinda crude la.. and we know people have feelings too.. and we have decided to ban this song after singing it for a week during marching back from breakfast, lunch and dinner. still it's still a funny affair nevertheless.. =/

how i miss those times after the exams.. my bro's enjoying the holidays now.. everyone is!! sighz.. thsoe were the days.. enjoy the holiday, guys.. =)

time really flies.. 2 months should come to an end real soon..a few weeks more and it's POP time.. time to go elsewhere to learn some more new stuffs.. all i can say is that i really am thankful to get into a platoon with a group of such encouraging, nice and fun to be with friends.. though there are some exceptions but overall it's still the best in the company and that's what i personally feel.. there are all sorts of people in there.. some funny, some weird, some serious and some are rally nice.. we're gonna go seperate ways then.. and that's bad.

nothing interesting to share recently except that i got a silver in my IPPT.. and after all the important events are over.. we're continuing with the strength, speed and other trainings.. sometimes i just wish that they might just give us a day off to rest, relax and enjoy the scenery.. the stars in the sky are so beautiful, by the way..

and all the people having exams.. it's already halfway through for most i guess.. comon.. it's gonna be over soon.. so persevere on and it's gonna be enjoyment for you guys after that.. =) take care and enjoy studying for the time being.. =p

sometimes i wish i could tell ya how i feel.

alright.. finally back from SIT Test.. actually, it's a test to see if ya're fit enough to be a commander such as an officer or a sergeant.. they conducted tests in the forms of missions whereby it's just like playing games, i guess.. to see how you react in different situations and whether ya're mentally and physically to be a leader..

can't write much here because it's kinda confidential.. got to interact with people from other platoons in the company.. they are nice people and easy to work with.. though we gotta run from station to station to do the missions.. before that we got a 12km slow march, 4 km and 2km fast march to kinda make you tired.. after ya're so shagged, they wanna see if you can still think and carry out the missions.. quite a good test to gauge people.

now almost all the major events are over.. finished field camp, range shooting and SIT test.. only left grenade and the 24km march.. i think most of us can't take the 12km march.. i was wondering how we're gonna complete the major 24.. POP in 3 weeks' time.. HAHA.. 6th of Sep.. saying goodbye to tekong and going to another new place..

take care to every1 that's having exams.. i know how it's like to be through it but i'm sure everyone can score with flying colours if effort is put in.. sleep is the most important factor for concentration.. drink more water and lastly don't forget to relax and give yourself the break you deserve after the hard work.. =)

When I was

When I was just a chao recruit
I asked my Sergeant
What would I be?
Would I be sergeant, would I be Sir
Here's what he said to me

Balls to you recruit
What will be will be
Your future's not mine to see
Please drop twenty for me

When I passed out from OCS
I saw my sergeant walking to me
He said good morning,
How do you do?
Here's what I said to him

Balls to you Sergeant
I remember how you treated me
Now that I'm your OC
Please sign extra for me

i don't know why the sergeants forbade us to sing this song.. or are they afraid of deja vu and it might happen to them someday in the future?? lolx..

happy national day to all. be back on sat after the Situational test in the forests.

here i am back from my field camp.. another 2 weeks since my first confinement for 2 weeks.. the field camp was fun though it was a bit tiring.. learnt a lot of stuff la.. i'll just write a brief summary of some funny and interesting stuff..

road marched with all the load to several camp sites.. 6km or 8km i also forgot.. but i can proudly say we can be shopping kings too as compared to gals.. haha.. attended lectures and stuff.. learnt lotsa stuff.. building tents, reacting to enemy fire and all those precautions to be taken when under enemy attack.. like playing games actually.. for our meals, we got to eat several combat rations.. those pasta, lor mai kai and dumplings, etc in those retort pouches.. quite cool la.. but on some days, they sent us food from the cookhouse too..

oh ya, we need to put our camouflage on.. green and black.. like make up liddat.. i find it kinda cool when it's all nicely done.. i like to do the watermelon style.. green head with thin black lines.. haha.. some of my friends even use the black one to draw moustache, ear rings and different patterns.. it was a very funny affair indeed.. this kind of make up is fun because we can all laugh at each other.. but the trouble comes when you perspire and all the camo will get into your eyes and it's kinda irritating and you can't concentrate on what you're doing..

yep, my birthday's on the field camp.. my officer gave me a chocolate bar and he told me it's my honour to get a bar from a officer because his rank was a bar on his shoulder.. haha.. my platoon mates kinda celebrated for me also.. and thanks to everyone who bought me presents, wished me or help me celebrate it.. really appreciate it..

anyway, i got to experience something quite interesting on my birthday.. Shitting.. in da forests.. HAHA.. well, ya gotta take your ET blade to dig a hole and then ya shit in it.. after that tons of flies will come and you must bury them with your shit because it's all about hygiene and you won't want people to step on your poop.. and i left my poop in all the 3 campsites.. HAHA.. it's kinda addictive.. once ya poop, ya gotta do it again.. and there was once everyone wanted to shit so the 20 of us set off to 1 secluded area with our ET blades and shat together.. those who shat fast would go look at thsoe who shitted the slowest and laughed at them.. we kept commenting that the butt was just like a chocolate ice cream machine.. HAHA..
(p.s: we don't actually get to wash our hands with soap after peeing and shitting.. then we'll continue to eat after that.. i thought we'll all get food poisoing after eating with all our dirty fingers with mud, poop and don't know what but we're still okay.)

other than that, i saw a wild boar when i was waking up from my deep beauty sleep.. these gigantic piggies should just leave us alone and find their own food.. one of them broke one of my mates' tents and dragged a bag with food in it to dunno where before it feasted on the foodie.. how cool was that.. actually not much could be done because wild boars are dangerous and are lethal..

then there were some sergeants who would be prowling and on the look out for people who didn't hold their rifle by their side.. like for example when we're eating or sleeping.. we gotta hold on and keep a lookout for 'em.. they would also try to steal the rifles in the dark when we're still powder bathing because there isn't water for us to bathe anyway.. because everyone was like so tired so they let their guard down and there goes their rifles.. these people would then have to report for guard duty and guard our sleeping area from wild boars.. i volunteered for one from 3 to 4 am but i didn't get to see any wild boars..

we devised a way to prevent them from getting to our rifles.. so we set a code.. if a sergeant is within sight, we'll all say batman and it's all spreaded to everyone and everyone would look out for their rifles.. actually stealing rifles is kinda fun.. i tried to steal some of my friends' when they were eating or sleeping.. most were unsuccessful but i managed to steal one and he was like so anxious.. hehe.. i know i'm mean but it's really fun and i returned it to him in the end anyway..

on the 2nd last of camp, we were supposed to dig holes to fit out own bodies.. it was alright but the shaping and designing was a bit hard.. thanx to all my buddies who had helped me made the steps for the shell strip.. 12 of us dug a fire trench together and it's all done with everyone's effort..

the field camp ended with a last event where we had to crawl under live machine gun bullets shooting at the top.. it was very exciting but also tiring but we all made it in the end..

that's all for my highlights of the field camp..

thanks to my mom for helping to wash some of my dirty clothing not washed for 7 days.. hope my gramps will get well soon.. some liver problems here and there and she's not eating.. but i'm sure she'll get better..

now i'm gonna cover some funny and interesting stuffs in camp..

some army songs.. they're sung in a very weird and funny way..

the underwear song

i no money i don't care
i buy cheap cheap underwear
underwear, easy tear
i steal sergeant's underwear..

i no money i don't care
i buy branded underwear
Armani, Versace..
Valentino also can..

i no money i don't care
i buy paper underwear
underwear, when it rains
i got no more underwear..

lolx..

and there's also this short smoker song when people wanna go smoke..

smoker song

tick tock tick tock
time to smoke
1 day 3 sticks we must smoke
smoke already become fit..
everybody come get it!!

the smokers seems kinda pissed everytime when they're going to smoke..

lastly there's this sergeant, sir song when you call a sergeant a sir or vice versa

Sergeant, Sir song

Sergeant is Sergeant
Sir is Sir
Sergeant is not a Sir
Sir is not a Sergeant
Dont't call Sergeant, a Sir
And don't call Sir, a Sergeant
Call Sergeant, a sergeant
And call Sir, a Sir

it's kinda like a punishment song.. but it's a funny song nevertheless when someone gets to sing it..

sighz.. gotta book in tomorrow again.. i'll be back on saturday.. oh ya, there's national day too.. take care every1.. =)

i miss eating yogurt..
i miss eating cakes..
i miss cooking..
i miss baking..
i miss you.
