Later was the tokking session... spent a whole lot of time in the cc plot giving out presents and crapping + wasting time ken... and throw grass all over the place, later upgrade to twigs and even leaves... haiyo sqms... the onli meaningful thing was the u-noe part ken... argh wun sae ani more...
Go home alreadi so tired... how come ar? wanted to go eat dinner budden slept till the next day... there goes some more weight lar... nvm it's good to lose weight :)

7 July, Monday. 08.26pm- Hmph nv write in here for so long alreadi... sho bz larz... lost 4 kg already from all the stress + skipped lunch and dinners... good way to lose weight r? -I shall juz gif a blank on what happened during NCO course... so many things I don't want to mention.-

Hmm, by the way, tho I may sound very angry in my entries... not realli larz... juz very concerned onli. My com crashed yesterday after the entry below... den was too tired to go start it up and do up the sentosa entry... go & sleep alreadi...
Yesterday met squaddies (xw, jo, jy, wx, sh + jess, cl came later) at dhoby ghaut mrt, den from dere take 2 harbourfront mrt... all the stations look so new and futuristic :) Took cable car across to Sentosa... $5.50 for a two-way trip ok... so xin1 tong4... nvm... so long nv sit in cable car alreadi :)
Went to Siloso beach... we used all the steep and treacherous shortcuts... haha... first thing we did was to sit down and pig out... eat and eat and eat... xw ur chicken sausage + ham is so nice! and I like the milk wafer thingy too... sh greedy pig ate up the half of jo's sausage I was supposed to eat... arghz nvm... btw xw and wx brought along beach balls, sqms were always saying "eh, play ball leh" but we nv realli got down to playing... jy started writing messages in the sand... den followed by wx and me... *grins sh seems so appalled at as m's chinese name... xy... I think it's a nice name but sh tinks its funny. hmph.
xw, jess and I went to build sandcastles :) The Siloso sand is so nice, so fine and soft, and hardens realli well when you put water. Our sandcastle was realli very nice, den jy and wx and sh came over, help dig tunnels... in the end too many tunnels so one side of the castle collapsed :(
Cl realli loves the water, so by the time she came, we slowly made our way into the water... tho we(some of us) had no change of clothes, we got wet bit by bit, until we were totally soaked in the sea! So fun, floating about in the water, juz tokking and playing. Got some pple wakeboarding (or surfing or...?) look very sut... but Singapore waves not very big wad... very nice to surf in Sg mehz? Jessica being her very immaculate and neat and clean and ladylike self refused to come into the water, so she was up on the beach sianning all the while.
We were prob sogging in the sea for several hours... very fine weather, very clean seawater... so nice to juz relax and haf fun! Splash water, discuss about pop(try to) and 35 in general... and other stuff, piggyback rides, choo-choo trains... But dere was lotsa lotsa seaweed... and rough stones... and jo's hand wound scab came off halfway... so now it's still floating somewhere in the sea... :P
Prob around 5pm liddat we came outta the water, I went into the shower & rinsed off the seawater, but no change of clothes so I was drying out in the sun :) After we took some pics, den we went back 2 the mainland... all sunburnt and red but very happy :)
Ate dinner at HarbourFront... wanted to eat chicken carbonara (white sauce) spaghetti at Han's, but the price is so exhorbitant $6.80 so muz settle for chicken bolognese (red sauce) spaghett at $3.80. Frankly I dun see why dere's such a big diff in price when it's only a diff sauce.
Later went to McDonalds to seriously discuss pop... it starts around 7.15 ends latest 6 (depends on how long the talking is)I was still wet with shower water... and the air-con dere had to be so cold... I was shivering... freezing alreadi... so is wx and sh, and dis is prob a v. rare time I prefer the outside to air-con places ken... eeks got separated from sqms when we went back... and dey thot I was taking bus some more :P...
Juz out of curiosity I measured my temp when I went back... it was 35.3 ken... got hypothermia alreadi brrr brrr. After a hot bath it was back to normal

23 June, Monday. 08.15pm- K b4 I write the entry abt todae's sqd outing 2 Sentosa, muz blog smth here tt I feel strongly about... tho it's not related to np at all, but it's smth I witnessed on my way 2 dhoby ghaut mrt... so muz write larz
Wanxin and I took an 8.15am train from jurong east mrt 2 dhoby ghaut, & since it was a weekdae, it was a peak-hour train tt was very very crowded. At one of the stations nearer to the CBD, as usual dere was a crowd waiting 2 get into the alreadi very squeezed and packed train. Every person waited their turn to board, and 1 by 1 dey got in... all except for this lady, prob in her 20s-30s, young working professional... dere was really really no more space in our particular carriage. She was the last one left on the platform. There was no space.
I looked at the commuters who were standing by the door. They had been expressionless throughout the whole journey. They surely must have seen the whole situation, and still their faces are expressionless, their eyes still giving that sickening stare with no emotion. HOW CAN THEY BE SO APATHETIC? They look around, look through the woman like she wasn't there at all. As if she is air. And tt woman also gif them back tt same sickening stare. It's like... I didn't know society can be so cold... I'm not asking for dem to heroically sacrifice their places or smth but at least dun pretend like nobody is dere... talk tt nation has become more united after SARS is rubbish... a stranger on the street is still- a stranger on a street who you dun care about, who, in your eyes, has no feelings & is just a nameless composite face of everyone else. I think this is very sad. Can we, for once, stop rushing here and there on our own little schedules, busy busy busy, caring only about ourselves getting 2 work/school on time and instead OPEN OUR EYES to all the wonderful people sharing our dear country with us?

20 June, Friday. 10.50am- Yesterday we went on a unit outing to McRitchie. Spent so much time at the bus stop we r supp. 2 meet, juz bai2 chi1-ing and having fun and taking pics and chasing each other and in broad daylite take pics of B34 ma'ams? Spent 30 min dere and when we finally ken go off Chailing + Sihui went 2 e sch toilet (300++ m away?)and jm got pissed (not seriously)and like, finally we went. Prob the bus conductor was pissed and happie at the same time coz the whole unit was congesting up his bus making lotsa noise but of course it's a whole lot of business. Oh yar btw muz mention alpha s2s r so "patriotic", all wear red one :)
At McRitchie we all separated into companies. Alpha s2s are so "sweet", gif us + S4 ms nice sweet present. :) And some more dey did it on tt day itself... 3 of dem do 12 presents... :)Everyone is feeling lazy... juz want to Sit, Eat and Talk. At first we did sit and talk (debrief about Alpha: why we so sad when get bez com, our skills r actually quite good, why guolu and huiyan dint come?, our behavior during fire drill and cd com and blahz)den we got up and play capt's ball (we din wan)against delta on the seriously sloping, small bit of grass. Juz as expected, at some point the ball fell into the lake and wnm had 2 wade in and fetch it. Good thing the ball's still at the shallow part.
After enuff playing den alpha went off to some other part of the reservoir and we played murderer. Dearest everibody I am SOOO sorry if I am in GEP and I still can't figure out hu's the other murderer is because, like, has it ever occured to you tt GEP does NOT stand for Private Investigator in the Making? Never mind, it dint occur to you. At tt point I was feeling a wee bit peeved but not so much coz... haiyaz, dis kind of things u muz learn to let go and not let it clog up ur life. Yay so it was still fun :). Den later we played the squeeze hand version and den sho sad it was 12 and I had to go :(. Not before I brought the camera, the snacks and sang the PPG song :P. Nvm it was fun aniwaez and thanku again s2s for the present. Dunno how you all chou1 chu1 time to do one :)

20 June, Friday. 10.36am- Few days back went to Cheryl's house to do the recording thing. (Sorry lar, no time to update blog)1st time our sqd met in such a large number after dunno how long manz. It was raining so heavily... on the way to her house on 852 a tree fell in the middle of the road... big jam... muz help the bus driver reverse his bus... den take a big detour... and after dunno how long finally reach Cheryl's house. Spent a lot of time crapping & having fun ;)... more den making the music. Dear aloy got aa hmmz liking her already ehz... in the same league as yrm alreadi...
Back 2 making the music. It's an ENGLISH song this time :D. "Thank u 4 everithing, 4 e laffter, e fun and e tears..." Sounds so nice! Dint noe recording song takes so many tries one... but finally it's done! Woo-hoo! Afterwards it is Eternal Flame (another english song too!)and oso take many recordings, but not tt bad lar. We had pizza for lunch + pepsi twist. Hmm, eating so much fattening stuff nowadays :X Den yesterday on the McRitchie outing listened to the burnt CD... hahaz we sound like little kids in some Christmas choir... and oso lotsa disturbance at some places... but I tink it's a great job on our part

20 June, Friday. 10.33am- Hmm... ok fine. The previous entry sounds a tad too disgusting and mushy. Read if you want, but yeah it doesn't reflect my feelings now.

18 June, Wednesday. 08.47pm- Dis year ATC, so many memories... Alpha 03 is special... oso the bez yar, ma'ams oso told us tt, ok ok enuff of being so wistful. Not like tt at all during ATC.

First dae... alpha spirit juz wasn't dere. Kind of like s3s were running the whole show yar, eek now the rifle so thick. Hmph bad memories of rifle. Dun want 2 go into details. Move on to the more fun stuff .

Heaven and Hell was so fun yar! Yay and heaven's angels were so nice yar... "we r laaazy angels"... and trying 2 open the biscuit tin... hahaz... CD com as usual so much to tok about... firstly sym was conscious but so tau... the whole way thru prob tok onli 5 words.... den afterwards I ran up again, and here is the exciting part :)

Dunno hu was chasing after yrm, and I caught her running down on my way up, and after tt, rescued her singlehandedly (here tt sh? niehzniehz)she is sho cool manz, and smells really good too... and coz she feng1 diao4 I had to restrain her dunno how many times (read: hug her!)u rock yrm! go fulfil ur dreams of being a doctor! woo-hoo!

After I'm done w/ yrm den I went up again, and dis time it's am. She really turned nice dis ATC ken, coz,
1: She never scolded till we cry
2: When she steal rifle, if u fight for it back, she gives it back to u
3: She gives Charlie lotsa lotsa lotsa encouragement, so diff from last year
4: She offers to give wx a piggyback. (wx, I'm so sorry!)
5: She takes care of pple really well
And den she was so heavy *pant*pant. Couldn't carry her on a stretcher coz she was so heavy and dere were no poles so muz use the chair method tho it's not really suitable... inched her along down the stairs, 6 pple manz, and afterwards she still praise us for carrying her down 4 flights when she weighs 55kg... hmm she is sho nice. :)

So sad, day 2 muz go shooting... and while the whole unit was doing PT jo, xw and I were bathing ken, feel so guilty... arghz, oso nv huan2 back the PT, ma'ams sae we r supposed 2 do double... and did so badly too... arghz sad... jo was so nice, comforting us saeing it's the gun tt has a problem... hmphz feel so bad

Aniwae when we came back it was chicken feet! yay my fave manz. juz in time. k mebbe dey waited for us a bit larz, same every single year one... ma'ams said i was sexae :& :O :P and wnm trying to make tangyuan outta us... crazy...

hmm tt's prob all the highlights lar... muz go eat dinner alreadi and free up the stoopid phone line coz nobody ken call thru

18 June, Wednesday. 08.42pm- Woa. Realized I haven't written in this for one whole year plus plus. K muz summarize everiting tt has happened in one year. Charlie 02 rox (yeah I noe tt's so last year) and yesh now muz fast forward to this year...

6 March, Thursday. 10.40pm- Dis year unit dinner... lack e atmosphere... last year got more qi4 fen4. Lyke a lot of emphasis on e karaoke part, and not e actual gathering and tokking. and afterwards tt west mall encounter a bit scary... but at least got tell ma'ams stuff dey should/want to noe... :) i tink u haf to respect them for their effort in trying to find out more and understanding our squad

6 March, Thursday. 10.22pm- Dun like to see e squad split up like this. OM de, GOH de, danceworks de... ken we be one? And dun juz because of tests jiu4 quan1 dou1 san4 kai1, everi morning dunno whether sqms will be meeting or not. It's not as if we also dun haf tests lor.

5 February, Wednesday. 01.02am- Sqms, jia you! Getting bumper crop of badges :D. Classi over liaoz, dun tok animore :X Now got so many competitions and also e marching thing, and oso cai qing dis weekend... muz jing li....

14 January, Tuesday. 10.14pm- CC test on Sat. And ma'ams r trying to "squeeze" (quoted) in time for us to practise. The problem is that not everibodi goes for the practise, but everibody has to take the test. Prob ma'ams expect us to go shuo1 fu2 them. Hard work.

7 January, Tuesday. 12.05am- I like e watchtower and catapult! So fun. After all the hard work. I tink it looks impressive. Too bad dint get 2 go up the tower :( And the outdoor cooking food is yummy too. Hmz so tired. e $6 meal shop wasn't open :(

12 December, Thursday. 08.44pm- Horizon Challenge briefing... my theory came to work. All food and no sleep makes me puke and haf diarhoea... eek. At least this time it wasn't as bad as the one in KL. ma'am so guan1 xin1, b4 fall in I alreadi liddat and she asked me why I dint tell them earlier...den puked a bit in the sink, had diarrhoea, and den all was well. As for the actual thing itself, quite monotonous lar. Get nailclipper, get mould, get green tube of paint, get battery. Haiz. And haf to ban1 the tables and chairs, backbreaking work *pant. Helping sqms put flags in tents and the criss-cross obstacles break the routine :) And debrief was not so bad, coz we helped to give them suggestions and feedback. And sqm said ma'am looked as tho she was crying but it was quite true we couldn't do aniting to help.

12 December, Thursday. 08.28pm- First it was B32 ma'ams, and now B33 ma'ams have to go. And lyke wad sqm said, it seems onli yesterday tt we were doing farewell for B32 ma'ams. This time the deco is handed over to us, with sec1s helping...
I think ma'ams were nice, telling us to jia1 you2 for our arms drill... the rifle breaking wasn't our fault, and I don't think we did too bad, even though it may have let down some people.
The serving food was quite fine lar... wif B32 ma'ams asking why we serve them water in bowl and cracking jokes over the cakes and stuff. The usual refusing of more food and requesting certain food. B34 ma'ams's cakes r quite tasty :) and the potato thing too! hmz dey ken bake nice food... *thinks about what sqms sae about how B33 ma'am cooked ;)
Don't understand sqms logic of clearing up in the middle of the nite, as in 100%... mebbe they badly want to go home, but there is no way ma'ams r going to let them go home at 7am wad... anyway playing tai-ti/bluff for 3 hours wif B33 ma'ams was fun... haha no sleep at all :)
quite scary... first time see a person he1 zui4... stagger here and dere, den spit out choc cake... very red in the face :S .
Of course the next day everibody was v.v. tired and I was grateful to ma'ams for not making us go down and see B33 ma'ams off, but I don't understand why they have to criticise everything we do at every debrief... nothing good ever seems to be said... maybe that's their style lar, but I tot they alreadi learnt we don't take well to dis kind of style. And they speak too softly, sqms were all craning their heads to hear them, and after a while we juz made do wif what we were able to hear... and nothing was sinking in coz on everibody's minds was juz go home and sleep

9 November, Saturday. 10.07pm- One week after ma'ams are so qi4 that they walked out on us during campcraft. This week they made us go into a classroom and tried and find out wad is wrong wif our squad, and why is sum sqms putting more effort den others, some pple do everiting, zuo4 dao4 feng1 liao and some sqms dun even care and if our squad is really united or not if it is everione ken get along wif everione else which is not true for our squad... you3 sqms ku1 le4 at this point... den they asked if we wanted to say anything to them in private... quite a lot of people did, including myself, tokked to ma'am... at e steps at the pathway leading to the 4th level library, about why some people do everiting and after a while some people get very disillusioned or not confident in their ideas and juz let "those people" do everithing, and oso about the family thing... not everibodi ish in it and sqms juz leave others out like that... not very nice. Don't exactly remembered what she said... den she also said wo3 men2 bu4 hen4 ni3 men2 and dey r not so furious dat dey dun wan 2 see our faces again, it's juz dat dey r so exasperated coz we keep making e same mistakes in campcraft and according 2 dem dey dui4 wo3 men2 hen2 hao3 le4 and actually dey r not so angry, it's juz dat what we perceive as their angry and scolding is actually their tokking. And then we end off wif some lame/cold jokes and riddles.

30 October, Wednesday. 11.35am- Quite cautious about the pact tt ma'ams has made w/ us... don't exactly noe wad exactly r we supposed to be revealing to ma'ams.
