Thankfully its Good Friday.....

Never appreciate Good Friday so much in my life. Why? Because this year, this good friday got to give me a day of relief from the hectic lifestyle in OCS. I am in delta wing, the so called scholar wing...... and yes i have a big question mark over my head on why i am in that wing as well...... Oh our minister of defense, Teo Chee Hean's son is in our wing as well. Im platoon 1, he is platoon 3. There is another big shot son, though i dunnoe who that big shot is, but his son name is Taufik. hahaha same as our Singapore Idol.

Anyway OCS is like a hell to me. Everything we do there, its all about timing... =( Fail to do some and down we go! And maybe its only for our wing but erm we basically have to run everywhere we go, including meals, except straight after meals. Pushups are so common until 200+ a day is average. We did 90 pushups just for our 5 basic exercises yest morning...... Bunk there is good though, its a room for 2 person, and the bed is definitely much more comfortable then bmt onez. Toliets are so much bigger and nicer so we don't really have to queue up to use the sink or the bathe. Oh ya the food there, ermmm its quite different from bmt too. Some say its nice, for me its just normal. Maybe we don't have much time to taste the food anyway......

To my knowledge, my wing is definitely more siong then most other wings, even though we have some many white horses around... strange sia. One thing different is only we got to wear the OCS admin polo-shirt while others only got to wear the OCS admin tee-shirt. Nothing good actually. Oh ya my buddy is junjie, quite a gd person, probably will find out more about him as time goes by.... its only been 4 days.

Time to have my dinner and book in soon, gonna be confine until 9 April. There will be a visiting day to my wing next sunday, 3 april. Free flow of visitors are allow so if u wanna come and visit me, just msg me or gimme a call ok? Calling aint that gd cos most likely i wun be around.

A new type of life....... back to the wild

Feeling kinda shity now, yet excited about wats going to come startin from tml. Be going to SAFTI MI at boonlay for my OCS course, to be a future officer =) Probably not a bad thing after all, since everyone i talk to tell me that... This course is about 9-10 mths, which is really long before i get commission and get the 2nd Lieutenant rank... if i don't get OOT or OOC (out of training/course) in the first place. STRIFE ON!~

And to answer a major query for those who knows: my medical still haven pass, this is basically the infantry OCS, nothing to do with RSAF.... bcos airforce cannot hold me for longer then 1 batch bmt intake, which is about 3-4mths. And yes that is how long i have been slacking =P

Went down to california center again yest, to train wif sher. Just when i started to like gym training, i haf to give it up... wat the hell... but nevertheless, its for a gd cause, so watever... Meetup wif brian and hafiz later, chilled out all around town, from PS to Tangs... Shopped for my army stuffz, which cost me a bomb, really. Juz my book in book out outfit costs near 100.... and those accessories and tolietries! dun bother counting....

I will be bookin in tml at 7am, crapz, along with a huge duffy bag and a really stuffed field pack, estimated weight ~~~~~~ another me..... Thanks goodness GOOD FRIDAY is this week, meaning i get to bookout on either thurs or fri, for a day only though. A break from this 3 weeks confinement wks, phew~~~

p/s: All the best to sher in getting his abs, bri in getting his sgt rank, all uni friends in their exams, and everyone i know in watever they are doing, cheers
(p/p/s: alrite that didn't come from me =P)

Bluuurrrpppppppp......

Happening 2 days for me since hmmmm.... dunnoe when. This post is gonna be rather long, so hang in tight. Here is wat i did yest,160305.

Went to work as usual, though its my last day. A birthday celebration took place in our auditorium, and the birthday boys were cpt gavin and mr ang, and the birthday girl was annie. The birthday cake was chocolate, which probably is most pple favourite =D. Oh there was this really really cool candle on the cake. Its a plastic flower with closed pedals, and when lighted in the middle, sparks and fire were seen. The pedals would then open up, and on each pedal, there was this small candle. Then came the birthday melody. Told myself im definitely gonna get this candle on my next bday cake =P. Oh guess hows cpt gavin gonna celebrates his bday this coming sat? RSAF invited him & his gf to go on a joy ride in a plane. HOW ROMANTIC~~ hahaha enjoy urself sir! Had a late lunch wif my wso section DXAs, jennifer and camillia in the OPUS and i had a chicken chop which imo su*ks, lol.... Its a gd bye treat from them, thx alot ladies! =) The whole wso section had been so friendly and helpful to me, and i definitely learnt alot with them, really appreciate the time spent there~ Went for a run and soccer with cpt edwin and cpt gavin, with me and toke. Its our first time running together, and they were so much better then us!! :_( Cpt edwin best 2.4km timing is 9:35 while cpt gavin is 9:01~ Holy cow, when am i gonna reach that timing?! During the soccer game, one opponent collided with toke, a rather drastic collision. The opponent, covered with sands, was in pain in his back, while toke got a blow on his right cheek, and bleeding teeth. Nothing really serious though.

Met up with sher right after work for a gym workout in orchard california fitness center. Im a person who doesn't like gym at all~ Its really cool place to workout. Gotta meet up with Erwan, a fitness trainer who really knows his work. Got a few gd tips from him about cardiovascular and fat burning exercise. Post more about this in the next post.

Went home and got changed, preparing for my clubbing night to zouk. Reached there around 11+ with toke, and huihao, jamie, seng, shirong, jackie, edwin, judy were already there. Saw firdaus, my pri sch gd friend, there as well =) Started off drinking boubon coke and long island in zouk, before proceedin to phuture, haha u know for wat lar =P Got to know this guy, john who is toke and firdaus friend. How small can the world get? Standing together, we are edmund & john, edmund john =D Went for another beer with john and by then im a bit tipsy liao. All of a sudden!~ kelvin, came and we were at zouk bar with huihao, seng and shirong. Got to know that its shirong's 21st bday!~ WooOhoo happy birthday!! Happy occasion goes with a happy celebration. And guess wat? dRINK! We ordered Margarita, which su*ked to the max, seng really got weird taste man.... and he is the only person who gave White Noise 4/5 stars.. wat the... Then its on the house by huihao, and we down one tequila pop in no time. Next up was shirong, with a quickfuck. A really really nice drink, recommended by.. ME~ must try man. Felt even more fuddled, but still not enough for the nite. Bad idea~! Had my first FLAMING LAMBORGHINI, together with huihao and kelvin. Its super duper nice, and super duper strong as well. We were goners... Shirong gulped down 2 tiger, 1 graveyard and later another tiger beer with straw, courtesy of seng, kelvin, edwin and me =) Shortly i got so drunk i could feel the world spinning while jamie and edwin were screaming in my ears. CB sia they 2... Next up was huihao. Heard he was really drunk too but i wasn't around... Then was shirong, the bday boy. And we can imagine how drunk he was judging by those liquor he drank.... Uttered alot of stupid stuff man he.

Woke up today with a splitting headache caused by the hangover.... Went to bishan coffeebean with peter, edwin, kelvin and huihao to talk cock. After which we went hm and meetup again after midnight. We went to geylang, ehhemmm.... to eat of cos... a rather famous timsum shop near lor 17 in edwin's subaru impreza. The supper there was great~ Went to find kelvin later at parklane, and then went to cineleisure to checkout if there was any movie. Kkk its a ghost town there.... no movie, so back hm we go.

Nothing much today... Its my off day, 2 more off days on thurs and fri. Probably clubbin tml so feels gd to haf thurs off for rest. WhAASSUP wif my english~!!?? arghhhhh......... Woke up with a running mentality, hesitated for 1/2hr due to the black clouds outside. Final i forced myself off my bed and went for a jog, or rather a run. Did the pyramid pullups taught by toke, and its definitely very useful to improve ur pullups. Did a total of 41 or more pullups before setting off in my usual route. Hell bad idea~! The sun was scorching and the air was thick and humid. The feeling was so bad i would rather eat a oliver. Arrh i hate olive, though its suppose to be very healthy.... Was dehydrated halfway, due to the lack of water parade, but managed to push on till the end.

Tml will be my last day at work, and hopefully i will enjoy every last moment of it =)

Updating.... up Up UPz date doc


My new boots bought yest. After trying diff brands like Nike and Adidas, i still gave my this TOPPER soccer boots a thumb up =) Price is reasonable, its comfortable, looks durable and pretty sleeky.

kK i know cheesy title for this entry =P who cares. Watched Hitch yest as well (tats where it comes from) with sher, bri and hafiz. Great to get together after some time. Went down on fri and sat to ADSD at chong pang (yishun) to help out in some recruitment stuffz. Saw CAF (chief of airforce) who is a MG and an ex-pilot. His talk really inspire me again to be a SAF pilot =P Hitch a great movie, no doubt its kinda peculiar, but overall an enjoyable movie. Will Smith does it again~! HE IS SO funny =D Before the movie, went down to Californian Fitness Center with sher cause he had won something, and i were his referance, so i got a mth free worth of membership as well, feel so appreciated bro =) In the end, he signed up for it and hopefully he will get his desire nice body soon. Oh the staff who served us was a lady, mixed blood. She is friendly, HOT, talkative and looks TOO young to be a mother of 1. yeah yeah "MILF" =) wateva

Had a game of soccer this morning with hong keat's team again, played on the left flank as usual. Won with a scoreline of 3-2, though my name wasn't on the scoreboard =( Not a bad performance by me imo, though im still not that comfortable with my new boots. Went home and slept from 3 plus to near 9pm, man was i fatigue. Been sometime since i had a gd sleep...

The truth is out there.....

Yeah yeah referring to my medical. Been sometime since i wrote, been rather busy with alot of stuffz.... Oh i will talk bout my medical in this one =). If u dunnoe wat medical review im taking about, probably u aint suppose to know =P Anyway for those who knows, im serving my NS liability as a FEP TRAINEE for now. Yes Flying Experience Program, while waiting for this medical. Been about 3 mths since i POP, and im still waiting. Recently got hold of some news, saying i am 1B PRK status, and i heard from DXAs that its waiting for the HEAD (chairman wateva) to approval this operation. Ya the LASIK operation =D Watever the case, i will still have to wait, and most likely i will be posted to SISPEC or less likely OCS first, damn... I have like gone through the civilian conversion course (C³), how can u expect me to chiong sua now?!! ARGGGHHHH

Anyway been training abit with some of my buddies. Went down to NYP again yest, and caught up with my ex Pole Vaulting coach. POLE VAULTING?! wat the hell is that?! heres wat it is THE ONLY WAY TO FLY Probably one of the most exciting and entertaining track event, pole vault is not for the weak of heart. ermm yes yes i did that during my secondary school days, in catholic high. One of the most happening ECA around =) haha no arguement about that~ Im even the captain of pole vaulting... wowwww. KK back to reality, its been about more then 4 yrs since i left, and to be honest i felt kinda sad now.... My coach is a Physiotherapy lecturer in NYP, and so happened tat i asked about my knees. Been having some aching knees for about a year liaoz i guess, kept thinkin its due to my cartilage wearing out, but guess not. 2 reasons:

1) Over developed thigh muscles pull the knee caps upward, causing pain in the bottom of my knees. ( u haf no muscles to pull it down fyi)

2) My knees alignment are not straight, causing impacts from exercise to land directly on my knees, instead of my legs. Its very important to observe ur knees alignment, especially during runs. Its possible to realign back by putting effort not to bend ur knees.

Guess im pretty interested in Physiotherapy stuffz, guess its probably one of the course in which i will further study in.

It juz ended.....

After a few days of suffering from Pneumonia, my eldest uncle passed away this morning, around 4am. Its sad to heard news of your close ones leaving this world just like that, especially when u saw and talked to him just recently =( Went down to his songka after work, heard the father (priest) mentioning about life and death, which brought much interests to me. I wun go into details here, since its mostly my own opinion.

During work today, me and a few friends pondered over some very interesting qns.

1) One regular 10 inches pizza costs $19.90. One large 14 inches pizza costs $29.90. So for $60, u can buy either 3 regular or 2 large pizzas. Which is more worth it? Think before u try working out with math.

2) If u jumped off a plane 10,000 feet high, and fell squating onto a huge and heavy briefcase, is there anyway u can survive? Like jumping up full force at the last moment, or diving 90° (ground is 0°) to break fall?

3) In a sealed car, there is a fly flying at a stationary spot (it just does, dun ask why =P). so if u accelerate the car from rest, will the fly move forward with the car? or stay put and bang into the back of the car? or wat?

Sounds boliao but it kept us wondering possibly about an hr during our breakfast... lol.
