my mum gone overseas for hols again, so my hse totally to myself..however most of the time im in camp, so quite pointless liaox..sianz ji pua...

anw i managed to get Marksmanship for my live shooting last week..pretty good, coz got $200 and 1 day off, plus can sew the marksman badge on my shirt..

oso ive been selected for the Lifeguard Lifesaving Course....like wth...if my swimming damn zai, i would haf been darn happy, coz being a lifeguard is really quite slack....however my swimming aint tt zai......tink the training will be a killer for me...so now how eh..

time to chill

i cant rmb the last time before last nite tt i went to a bar and chill thru the wee hours.....tts y last nite was really really darn enjoyable.....reminiscing the past civilian times....ohhh mannn...its really a special feelingg....

cant wait for one nite in the near future whereby ALL OF US can finally get back together, sing some karaoke and enjoy a drink, after we've been pretty much on our separate ways since the beginning of this yr.....

the pain is ending.......next week will be a short week, after which there will be only 3 weeks left as being a trainee.....its ending soon........

i need a holiday as well...eat slp hang around sing drink play talk laugh chill..and simply relax..

1st wk in ETI (Engineer training institute) over, training as a combat engineer specialist..at nee soon camp..far away from my hse once again

dun wanna say too much abt it on the blog, since we've been warn authorities do lurk around to check things out..

all i can say..i feel very recruit-ish..tts all i will say..

dealing with demolition and mines and stuff..pretty dangerous..next week got demolition live firing somemore..hmm..

but firstly, I GOT WKEND GUARD DUTY!!!tmr morning 7am need to be back at camp liaox..sian to the max..wanted to stay in at camp, but lucky i didnt, coz i realise got quite some time for me to rest at home now..damn sian if stay in..

the 1st wk has been pretty alrite so far..lectures, practicals on demolition and stuff and the roles of combat engineer and much more details..pretty cool..but kns the detonator alone sounds freaking dangerous..hope all goes safe and smooth..

the course not much physical stuff, unlike the shaggifying BSLC..mostly lessons, which is good..hahax..i had enuff of physical shit for now..need a break..

next wk will be pretty xiong, coz lots of stuff to learn, more practicals, and live firing, and saturday burnt coz of live firing..

ok feel like resting le..lectures for 4 hours straight, and den more lectures after a dinner break is darn mentally tiring ok..the Z monster freaking power..

finally graduated from BSLC..now officially a corporal..got posted to Combat Engineer..heard its one of the more xiong vocations..dammit..but its alright..im v relieved i didnt get ASLC..coz i really dun want to stay in infantry anymore..

my experience in 43rd bslc hotel company has been really wonderful..but there has been less time to tok cock and relax wit the mates as compared to the time in BMT..its always chionging, and den many of us will slp early coz the next day will be another day of chionging..and so on..

really learnt a lot in sispec..hotel company, honestly, has been pretty darn welfare..but its PT has been xiong..i hated it at first, but at the end it has indeed helped me improve..

yesterday has been pretty shag..28 k graduation route march..was pretty tough..especially when one part of the route seems NEVER ending..tough stuff..mental and physical..from 9pm march until 6am without slp..den once the march ended, we went straight for the graduation parade..need to stand still, but most of us fidget like free..hahax..presented with our corporal ranks..woot..increase in pay liaox..but our pay still nothing compared to officer cadets..

time to move on to the next phase of the army life..training to be 3sgt..

gonna miss the times in sispec hotel man.....been thru soooooooo much shit.................tt i will never forget...........

its been a long while..almost forgot the civi world already..been spending so much time in camp..and of coz outfield..finished all the outfield camps already..feel pleased..ready to pass out from basic section leader course..gonna be a corporal in several days..woots..

this wk has been mad for me..in merely 4 days here is wat i completed :

- 5k fast march
-6k fast march
- 3 SOC tests
- 1 IPPT test
- Speed Training
-Additional Obstacle Course
- Confidence Obstacle Course

and main thing is i managed to pass my soc le..my 2nd soc test i felt in top shape, but failed..the 3rd one i felt like shit and shag and wanted to fall out, but somehow passed..

next week we will be having our 28 kilometres graduation route march..walk throughout the nite and early morning..from nite to morning the next day..den straight go for the graduation parade..u can jus imagine the shagness..oh mannnnnnnnnnn

nvm at least im passing out soon..jus dun let me get into ASLC PLEASE...................

ok..my ippt got another silver..and my running improved by 1 min plus since i entered sispec..gotta thank the oc's tremendous focus on PT..

quite pity juliet company..whole day get screwed by the sergeants..

my mum lost my nokia 6230..so its high time to get a brand new stylo fone..dunno wad model to buy..wanted to get a nokia so i can transfer over the memory card from my old fone..but now since its gone, another brand will do la..

argh got guard duty on labour day..sianz..and next week onwards is FIELD CAMP!!3 weeks consecutive..kns somemore spiderman 3 open on labour day..diaox

watched wild hogs on nites off wit my Hotel section mates..the show not as funny as i wanted it to be la..but a lot of cool movies coming up..hope can find time to watch niaz..

time to go..

managed to get a silver for ippt..but my running still not really up to standard..pull up 13, but cant seem to break tt barrier..and dun tok abt soc..coz i suck at it..left wit low rope..and the running part really shag sia..

cant wait for labour day 4 day break..after which will be 3 weeks of consecutive outfield training..dammit

so much stuff in my mind tt im getting tired..still got the medicine interview thing to settle..haix..

had nite off last nite for those who got silver or gold for ippt..but my section most didnt go..coz its bloody sian to book out for 2 hrs plus den come back..and theres soc the next day..

theres soc next week, followed by the REAL ippt..wonder how things will go...

tmr onwards will be the beginning of the 5th week of bslc..halfway there..

i guess every guy feels the same after enlisting..

u TRULY treasure wad u haf..and regret not savouring ur time as a civilian in the past..u will realise u haf no more freedom, and can only smell the civi world on weekends, provided no confinements or guard duty..u miss everything abt the civi world..u long to ord, but its still a long way to go..u cant believe u r in this ns shit for 2 yrs..u no longer take friends, food, family and fun for granted..ur life will be changed from the day u step onto tekong..and booking in is one of the shittiest worst feeling u will ever ever ever feel..

last nite went over to wf hse to watch epl..watched 3 matches..pretty cool..but sucked to see manu play like shit and den lose..

but i was so glad i had this time to chill and relax wit frens and having no worries and no chiong sua-ing..and having a gd laugh and drink to forget the shit tts gonna happen on the next book in..

booking in real soon..sispec is gd as in we are treated humanely..and some of the enciks are v funny..n so r the sgts..so lets hope for a gd time..tho theres 2 soc and ippt next wk, and i dun feel in top form..haix

reality finally hit me..bmt is over..

means no more joking around and having fun around in tekong..realise there are no more opportunities of having fun together in our bunks..

bmt has been an amazing ride..with so much highs and some lows..and of coz so much fun shared..all the loads of shit tt we suffered and endured thru..everyone made it thru the 24k route march, which is real cool....

really gonna miss all my mohawk buddies..so here's all the best to all u guys..really hope to see u again..cheers..bmt has been one hell of a outstanding experience..

woohooo pop oh~~~no one screwed up in the parade..tho got rain niax..suddenly heavy den light den heavy den light..but overall its fun.. now im officially a private..no longer a dickhead recruit..

took lots of photo wit my mohawk mates..really glad tt i am in such a great company with such great dudes around, and graduatin from a company of such glorious reputation..the 3 mths of fun blood pain shagness and laughter will always remain in my mind..mohawk mohawk all the way

gonna load some pics after i rest..feel shagged..as always..

alright im looking forward to my next posting..see wad shit im gonna tio..its only gonna get worse from here after bmt..haix..and oh yes theres the platoon 1 chalet..weed..

gonna restart my personal training regime..OTOT time..hiak hiak

P.S. hello to any mohawk ppl who happen to bump into my blog =) hey uuuuuuuuuu..

really grateful for my results..really glad my hard work did pay off after all..unlike the O lvls..

strangely, i dun feel really really that elated or wadeva..yes of coz im happy, but i feel tt there are more impt things in life tt i hav yet to achieve..

realised tt after i went army, my life has pretty much changed..it aint abt fun anymore..its abt achieving things in life tt i haf neglected in the past..

my parents wanna reward me, but i kinda said no..i dun want no monetary reward or wadsoever..coz i kinda feel im already happy wit wad i haf..its like i dun need no new fone even tho mine is old like fuck..dun need no nintendo ds or psp coz i haf lost interest in such things..no need mp3 coz i can use my old ipod as long as it still works..no need for new clothes or wadeva shit..

actually i dunno wad i want...........................

oh yes maybe i would want much stronger endurance and grit..both physically and mentally..and some freedom would be nice..

anw realised tt sispec is really really bad..a 3sgt in unit is treated like shit..unless i get posted to tekong, a 3sgt is nothing..so go thru 3 mths bslc sispec course for wat siaz....but den again ocs is too madass for me...so NOW WHAT........................i tink army lacks choices seriously..

ok i tio fever..and followed by mild bronchitis..like wtf..so now im having an extended break from the fucked up army..

my mates are having SIT test, whereby they encounter diff scenarios and haf to come up wit solutions..basically its to test their leadership and see whether they can go command sch..

for me,i will haf to go SIT test with some other company..not mohawk..fuck it..jus hope i dun kenna ninja..

anw army really makes one damn shag..running in sbo is madshit i tell u..lbv, rifle, boots..mad..they want us to be "combat fit"..wadever lah..

in these few days break, ive been tinking abt army..coz finally got SOME DAMN TIME to THINK..its been really hectic..the physical training intensity has been increased coz we haf mostly completed almost everything of bmt..grenade throw this thurs, sit test over (for the rest of the dudes)..so we only left wit 16k and 24k route march..which i fucking dread..ive nvr been so physically tired EVER (after that 8k route march before field camp)..many of us on the verge of breakdown niaz..somemore right after the route march, we tio tekan..den need to set up basha at high speed, and DIG THE DAMNED DRAINAGE SYSTEM AROUND OUR BASHAS..

wat the hell y am i tokking abt field camp again..

damn hope i recover real quick..need to catch up..but now still got the cough due to the bronchitis thingy..darn it..

anw all of my sect mates owned IPPT 2.4..believe i can do the same now..hiak hiak..

really dunno wad will happen after bmt..still tinking hard abt command sch..the prob is i already quite sian of this bmt shit..let alone command sch ar pls..haix..so HOW?!

i oso dun wanna tio rifleman niaz......................................

ok nvm now i jus focus on my SIT test and route marches 1st..after that will be pretty slack liaox..yayz..

but kns my chest injury still havent fully 100% heal..haixxxxx...dun wanna go for scan..coz i scared later OOT (out of training)..means haf to withdraw and recourse!!!!means go thru 3 ,ths of BMT AGAIN some time later..no way man..

i survived mohawk field camp..

wasnt as hell as i expected..guess they toned down a little..but the 1st day of field camp was freaaking shaggggggggg...coz of the 8k route march..route march really really suzx..fuck it..somemore next week got 12 k..oh man..here we gooooooooooooo..

as for the field camp..so much shit happen..adapted pretty well..overall quite okay..oh yeah the 6 day field camp make me lose 5 kg..how abt tt..

freaking pissed coz i now got chest injury..due to the soc parallel bars..knn..now got sharp pain whenever i exerted..fucked up..now i cant fully exert and take part in the tekan sessions..making me feel fucking guilty..

anyway i feel my platoon is more bonded thru field camp..but honestly i tink our discipline is still not up there yet..dang..tts y our platoon commander was pissed..ar well..

eating combat ration is coooll...some of the food truly look and taste like puke..to the guys out there..DO NOT EAT 1) chICken pongtay rice
2) Yellow rice with chicken

and if u got chilli crab noodle, den u r freaking lucky..coz its nice..and the combat ration really induces constipation..woots..

sleeping out field is pretty fun actually..slept damn well, coz i was super shagged..but cb siaz, 4th nite slp half way got downpour...anwon 2nd day i tio guard duty..knn..coz i randomly chosen..many others tio guard duty coz their rifle got stolen by the sergeants (aka stunned)..lucky mine nvr kenna stun..

powder bath is shiok..woots..

so much shit happen..cant be bothered to blog all the stuff..but jus remember one thing..treasure ur civilian life (if u r not in army yet)..and treasure ur cookhouse food and ur freaking bed in ur bunk for those who enlist liaox..

peace out..SIT test coming up soon..and i tink SOC sux..fucking dangerous

today is our book out day..book out..book out
today is our book out day..oh book out day
oh book out day..oh book out day
today is our book out day..oh book out day hey

only 2 days since previous book out, and not too much strenous activity,but i still feel tired..morale freaking high yday..coz of more admin time being given..yeah baby..we truly treasure admin time ok..

and the atmosphere on the bus during book out..is simply electric and un-matchable..
but during book in, morale freaking low..back to pulau tekan!

tmr is our book in day..book in..book in..

so much army stuff to buy..gg the army mart at tamp w some mohawk mates..wooty

cya folks

sometimes i gotta admit..i do feel stressed..everyday whether i can take the pressure..the mohawk culture..maybe coz im way too pessimistic..but den again i haf this inner motivation..tt spurs me on at times..but of coz sometimes i get so tired tt i lose tt motivation..

but guess its all in the mind..

all in the mind..

all in the mind..

i nd the mental endurance..

pain is temporary, pride is forever..

happy new year peeps..

all the best my fellow mohawkians..it has barely begun, but we haf gone thru some mini shit together..lets work together as a section, as a platoon, and most importantly, as a MOHAWK COMPANY

the best welfare for soldiers is 1st class training..

and i tell u, wearing helmet and LBV, with rifle and squatting, is a very annoying feeling..main thing is the bloody helmet..everyone all agree it makes us recruits have lower IQ levels..

and dammit,i haf to run SOC wit the helmet..arghhh..

all the best in 2007..here we go..
