It's the 27th of december...december is coming to an end...not sure whether that's good or bad..but that means that my ns is coming to an end so its good...yeah...i've got about 76 days to ord and training's getting tougher..its atec season now..and training has unfortunately started..i've got outfield training for the next 3 days..its going to be long and tough and wet...but after that its a long break...I'm on leave from the 31st of december till the 6th of jan..its only 1 week but that's the most i could take..even for that one week my oc was very hesitant to approve of it..but thank god he did..and thank my wonderfull ps and pc for supporting me..without them i definately could not have had my leave approved..anyway, even though i'll be taking a week leave, when i ord, i'll be burning about 18 days of leave as i have no time to clear my leave..when i go back to camp on the 9th of jan, its training and more training and 2 weeks later is atec stage 1..and a week after that i'll be off to thailand for atec stage 2 and when i come back, i only have 11 days to ord..exluding the weekends, only 7 days..if only it was already march..
I've been looking forward to ord for a long time..but after i ord, everything's going to change..i know that's what i've been and still am looking forward to but its also means no more monthly allowance...and i'll have completely nothing to do...it'll be totally boring..and i'll be so broke..yeah...but i'm still looking forward to that..haha....
I have to book in later..its now 8:34pm...i'll leave my house at 10..hahh...i hate going back to camp..its sucks..and there's outfield training for the next 3 days..terrifying..hahh..
Vince just told me that he's disrupting his ns as he's going to monash in feb next year..and he has only 9 more working days left!! after that he's clearing leave till the 31st of jan and that's when he's disrupting...lucky bastard...haha...

I miss school....i miss being a student..i miss wearing uniform....i miss seeing the same wonderful people everyday...even people i don't know..i miss seeing familiar faces everyday and taking it for granted that i will meet my friends everyday..its all changed now..if only i could turn back time...i want to go back and relive it all over again..when i think back, i can't seem to find a single bad memory...it all seems good. even the bad times were fun......nostalgia...not the first time i've felt nostalgic..guess everytime i feel down i get nostalgic...doing poi now..its boring..its the same thing everyday. its routine..unfortunately, the routine doesn't allow much time off..its work 2 days and 1 days off..so every 48 hours you work you get 24 hours off..well..its more like 20 hours if you include the time we have to report and the travel time...the 1 day off is just nice to come home, slack and sleep..and then go back to work..it sucks..at least it ends in one weeks time. i haven't had much time to myself. it has been quite rushed lately..and i hate it when i have no time..i like to be left alone...well..at times..its like even when you give me lots of work to do, just leave me alone..i'll get it done..don't pester me..that's why i hate the army..everyone is pushing work down and because they're getting pressure from the top, they pester the ones below...one thing i've learnt in the army is "half-fuck"...i've learnt to do half-fuck things..its not worth putting all your effort into a project..when you finish it, you don't get the deserved recognition.. and when people see that you can do work, they give you more work...so just leave it..screw it..just do enough to stay out of trouble..
i've got to change my work attitude..i'm going to ord in 89 days time and i can't bring the same screwed up attitude outside..things have to change and i'll be happy if i go back to the way i was in jc..life was good in jc..in the first place, i have no idea why i went to acjc..my entire time in sji, i had made up my mind that i was either going to njc or cjc..and i ended up in acjc..well..i'm glad i did....
Everything that happended, ended well...Everything that is happening is going well...Everything that is about to happen will happen well...
Whatever happens, happens for a reason...In the end, all is good...

the time and date on the previous post is wrong...anyway, just after i published the previous post, i listened to gansta's paradise by coolio..cool song...you can listen to it by going to http://www.radioblogclub.com/ and searching for coolio.....

Gangsters Paradise – Coolio

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realise there's not much left
Cause I've been brassing and laughing so long that
Even my mamma thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain’t never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You better watch how you talking, and where you walking
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip but I gotta lope
As they croak I see myself in the pistol smoke ... fool
I'm the kinda G that little homies want to be like
On my knees in the night, saying prayers in the street light
They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise

Look at the situation, they got me facing
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the strip
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
I'm a educated fool with money on my mind
Got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loped out gangsta set trippin banger
And my homies is down so don’t arouse my anger ... fool
Death ain’t nothing but a heartbeat away
I'm living life do or die, what can I say
I'm 23 now but will I live to see 24
The way things is going I don't know

Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me.

They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them ain’t looking
What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cooking
They say I've got to learn but nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me
I guess they can'tI guess they won'tI guess they front
That's why I know my life is out of luck ... fool

They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise

Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me

My December

Its finally december..safkar is over and now its time for POI...my company's poi is jurong island..we'll be protecting it for 2 weeks..hopefully there won't be any incidents..
Today is a thursday and i'm on off today and tomorrow..so it's a long weekend. but it'll be over soon and on tuesday i'll be doing poi..hahh..that's always the case..everytime there's off or leave, time passes so so quickly..hahh..
life's boring..nothing interesting to blog about..i went to watch harry potter yesterday..emma watson is damn pretty...yeah...haha..
102 days left to ORD!!!soon it'll be in double digits..i can't wait..hahh..bloody army..i can't stand it..all the damn propaganda..Join the army..the decisive force..if you're in the army you'll know how many bloody screw ups occur everyday..from the top all the way to the bottom, everyone is just pushing work..CO tells rsm what he wants..rsm tells the csms..csms tell the ps..ps tells the sect coms..and the sect coms allocate the work to the men..and the men, sadly having noone to push it to just complain and do it...that's the way it is..everyday..i have no idea why people sign on as regulars...especially specialists..they are always going to be the slave of someone..in a unit, as a 3rd sergent you take shit from your ps, pc, csm, oc, rsm and basically everyone who's higher ranking then you are..then you get posted to sispec as an instructor..there you take shit from the warrant officers..as you rise in rank, it gets better..not that you get less shit..anytime you get shit, you pass it down..the higher in rank you are, the more people you can pass your shit to..as a spec, you are always going to get shit..even as an army rsm, you get shit from the coa...hahh..so why do people sign on as specs?? for the men?? Bullshit...the men just serve 2 years and then give saf the middle finger..maybe for 2 years, you can make your men's life as good as possible but they're not going to be with you all the way..they will still leave and leave you to you army career..the only reason i can think of is money..when you sign on you get loads of money...and every year you get bonus..the money's good..but you still will get sick of it..if you ask me, its madness to sign on..some people say they joined the army cos they enjoy it..well..either they're are lying to themselves, trying to counsel themselves, or they're retarded...but that's just my opinion..there are people out there who genuinely believe that by joining the army, they are protecting our motherland...come on..can singapore defend itself in times of war? Yes we can!! no doubt about it...but the question is how long can we last...we're not going to win any war on our own..we can't..i don't think we can even defend ourselves for more then 3 weeks...don't get me wrong..i love singapore..i'm singaporean and will always be a singaporean..but i do have common sense...4 million against 23 million...hmm..So back to the question of why people sign on...the answer..Greed...greed for money...also security..you're ensured 10 years of a stable job...oh well......
i hope i haven't caused any anti army sentiment by writing this blog...its scary..only recently a couple of guys got convicted for having a racist blog...
so everyone....join the army...its good..its the decisive force..we are the protectors of our land...not for fame or fortune...
but seriously...i have nothing against the army...i believe that we must have an army defending singapore..and thank god we have regulars(retarded or not) around..i am a singaporean and i love singapore..just during safkar, one of the Indonesian officer and a man from my platoon were taking..for convenience we'll call the officer A and the man ah beng..so A was asking ah beng why he dosen't want to sign on...
ah beng : I don't like it..
A : (kidding) 'you don't love your country'
ah beng : 'a little bit'
A : (surprised) ' In Indonesia, all soldiers love our country'
I could have slapped ah beng there and then...what an idiot...singaporeans need to be more loyal and patriotic..i bitch about the army and i bitch about how boring singapore is.. but i am loyal...and i love my country...we don't realise how lucky we are..low crime rate, stable economy, good stable uncorrupted government, no natural disasters, a successful multi racial community, high technology, clean...we should be happy to be here and not migrate the first chance we get..after all that's said, i still want to ord..army's not for me..i'll contribute to singapore in some other way...102 more days to ord...
