It has been a week since I ORD. And I'm starting to think of what I left behind and what is in store for me in the days ahead.
I remembered back in the JC days, everyone was still young and reckless. Of course i swore i could have ran away with some girl because i thought everything will go my way if i try hard enough. That of course, was not quite true and I kinda had some set back at the start of 2008. It wasn't a good start but life goes on.
Worked for Asia Insights and was earning big bucks. like 10 per hour of doing nothing. So it goes...
On 9th April 2008, I had breakfast with my whole fam, my grandma and my cousin at Sheng Siong. It was a meal of kway chap and i still can remember where we sat. Although the kway chap stall is no more, the memory still lingers.
We arrived at Pasir Ris on 88 after seeing how pampered darren is on the bus. It makes you wonder, how people can survive army life. I was told to tuck in by some dunno-how-but-i-think-my-rank-is-higher-then-him-now person. So we went to SFT and took a fast craft to Tekong. It was Penguin Chawan i think. TFT has this sign that says, it's not what you leave behind, it's what you gain in the days ahead, and got this army boy holding face of some woman or girl i dunno. went up some stairs, handed over my pink IC and sat down with some strangers. We started chatting like where we are from, blah blah blah. Went into the hall, sit like some stone statue, hear some stupid talk, take oath, got our ass out of hall and wait for parents to pick us up. guy called Kendrick was beside me. So have gf anot? I asked. He said yes. Lucky bastard. Parents one of the last few to come out. Had a meal of fried chicken and rice. fall in n walk to some training shed where we were introduced to your instructors. PS 3SG Samuel, Sect inst. 3SG Winfred Oh. 3SG kamal, haril and de hui. winfred was a national softball player who used to play softball with felicia chin. de hui is crew from radikal forze, some breakdance group of singapore. nice people.
on 8 may 2008, I sent a message to her... I told her to enjoy herself in the concert, told her I could not be there because I had field camp.
on the 10th, I sat down in the middle of the forest with a few buddy and told them about her. They all agreed it was a big wasted waste.
And i thought i suffered enough in BMT. Lieutenant Ariffin went home and celebrated his birthday.
on 31 june, I called her and told her to enjoy her trip to Osaka. It was kinda suddening because going to Osaka at such cheap rate was a dream come true. If only i retained.
So blink eye abit, i threw my cap at tekong parade square, smile abit and went home. That day, while walking opposite of sheng siong, daddy said.. See its fast, ur first day we still ate there, now even the stall also no more already..
It was a 1 week plus break which i spent with cousins and frens.
Posting: SISPEC
took a cab there with jun hong, the BMT 4104. i 4105. So it was intimidating to see so many 2nd n 1st sergeants. See warrant officers and senior Specs kinda feels weird. SISPEC was fun and it was on the 2nd week that I started writing diary. Drew pictures in it too. Outfield in sispec was fun and enjoyable.
All are so garang...
One fine night. Buddy Derek, also from NY, came to me and say...Eh buddy, i saw ur name on the whiteboard i think tt one top people, u might be going to OCS. That night i cant sleep early, i kept thinking..."I promise to bring you to comms ball should i make it ok?=)" it was a dream with its fire reignited.
Section live firing...Warrant Loud Hailer..WTF YOU DOING! GIVE YOU SO MANY ROUNDS YOUR SECTION FIRE SO LITTLE, WHERE IS YOUR 'OVERWHELMING FIREPOWER'? YOU SHOOT SO LITTLE YOU THINK ENEMY WILL SCARED AR?!.. and so, best fren forgot-wad-his-name the SAW gunner spammed-ed 200 rounds in 3 bounds. Quite a feat I should say. I just hope 1 ricochet and hit loud hailer.
J. S. gathered us and asked us, what are the rules of navigation. We erm.. and arhed... You dunno this how am i going to post you to OCS?... blah blah blah.. go read newspaper its good for ur interview with CO SISPEC....
Before i knew it... i was sitting in front of L.P., Y. H. S., and green frens.
"I bloom wherever I am planted" -SL-
2 weeks of hell ensued.. tekong hols with lots of mud. I actually found an overturned car in the middle of the forest when i was there back in so-n-so coy. Shag-ness was beyond measures.
Ganther SMS.. WELCOME TO OCS..
tekong hols was till thursday. Fri was OCS already. Hq was first stop. 70/07 was having fun with SSM. 1 day it will be my turn.
Lots of shit, not much to say. kinda F- up place. Its the people that is kinda boo..
21 march. Threw my peak cap. "Pang Kang LOh!" How I wished you were there.Finally got some results le and got chance fulfill my promise...
25th march. Date told me not coming cause of work
27th march. Decided to let it go unfulfilled rather then break it.
28th march. I went alone. Kinda hurts when I'm finally there you ain't the one sharing it with me.
Shoot and win...
AASAM, AARM rifle, met "nice" guy called Han Yao Guang. He screwed me upside down inside out left right centre. flew to somewhere far away when people cant tolerate him.
Rifle was full of sacarsm by frenly malays. they are a nice bunch although the boss kinda dun like me i guess. Shuffle abit, I went over to pistol.
They do (censored).
It was hard times but He was like a father to me. His daughter is cute too. S. N. G. S. was his name. hmm..snsd...Chionged-ded with him.
And I sat outside looking at the sky...Y everyone gets to be so relaxed, I am doing so much work...it was a moment of enlightenment when I truly understand what I want.
they..are the best...
they.. produce the results, year in year out...
they.. all want to win...
I want to be part of the team. I want to be there for them when they win or lose. I want to tell myself I have done my part...
AARM. Best team. 2nd for match 5. It was intense but I was glad.
SNGS took good care of me. And that badge i held on so dearly.
made frens based in changi
seen a malay tt sang so well he could gif taufik run for money
then it was time to rest n relax.
then one final push before i ended my journey where i started.
I concluded in that picture...It was his mother...
and yes, I have gained an experience no one else has. well everyone experiences differnt things anyway.
.....................................................................................
Told her 2 years ago. Wait till i finish army, lets start all over again... I bet she can't remember that. Told her lets see how army would change me...
I still have the scribbles on what I want to say from that day, It kinda hurts how come and did what I did.
Of course, diary was the best place to say what I want to say. Even If I die, I guess the thoughts still live on. made many wrong choices at times. but in any case,
All I want, is for you to hear what my heart has to say again.
And that's because life's greatest regret often goes like I-never-got-to-tell-her-how-much-I-love-her or something along that line.
If you are reading this, talk to me, I got just 2 lines of word to tell you. Of course, there's alot more to it. But I don't think it can supercede what the 2 lines mean...
.....................................................................................
Thailand Sky adventure. Accelerated Free fall course. 8 jumps. $3K. that's my long term goal now.
Learn driving, get a job, and her are the priorities now.
I've picked up anime watching thanks to Leong. I'm totally in love with SNSD because they dance and sing well. I fulfilled my wish of having a flute and a computer. its an AMD 965 Black at 3.4 Ghz, 4Gb 10666 DDR 3 ram, ATi 5870 (gigabye), gigabyte UD7p FXTA motherboard. a 800W PSU which I dunno how to utilize. 23inch SAMSUNG P2350. Logitech Z5500 THX certified speakers. Performance at its best.
Got a new table too. thanks daddy...
I guess I left my mark with the shooters. I have did what I wanted. Now it's time to want somemore.
Next stop.. NTU!
Hey...We are gonna be schoolmates, shall we meet up for lunch someday? We can have some yummy pig food right xiao zhu?
