A new perspective

Due to my OOC status, there's a much higher degree of freedom in camp now than when I was a chao cadet. Am I still sore about it? Yeah! Who wouldn't be? 3 more months before becoming an officer and your body says NO. Anyway, was taking a morning walk around camp on a sun morning and I walked to SAF MDC(the army's Music and Dance Company) which was a once a Colonial British army building. Walking around the 2 storey building that fuses the old and new showed a transition of the world then and now because part of it was the colonial building and the other half was the studios. The experience was heightened especially since I was the only person walking around in that lone building on top of a hill since nobody was bothering me thus allowing me to enjoy it in all it's glory all to myself, too bad I didn't have a camera with me, so many angles available allowing for amazing shots! I could imagine how the then colonial troops felt when they walked down the narrow corridors and stairs unlike the much wider ones we have now in SAF camps which allows for faster troop movement boosting operational readiness. The interior of the building however, was more civvy than military and I think I better stop describing it lest I get sorted out haha. All in all, walking around camp in the cool and gentle morning breeze was... SHIOK AH! Being it during a weekend, unfortunately, was NOT...

Next week, my OOC upperstudy Chirs will be posted out and there'll leave the 3 of us lao jiaos but another 2 "new birds"(xing jiaos?) will join us! Hope we can get along and there'll be lesser SK on every individual's part. 2 of the OOC personnel were picking touch-me-nots outta the rugby field this week and I felt sorry for them and bought them each a drink because I was not allowed to join them. Must be my back...

Round 2 of my Transformers marathon coming up next! Ki-Ki-Ku-Ku-Ka-Ka! God, I love that sound! Priceless!

My $90 bible

Since I've got the day off. I bought the entire G1 Transformers series complete with the movie! For now, most of my day off is consumed by my childhood obsession, my private religion! Watching a 7 hour marathon of that 80's cartoon reminisce of my childhood. Best part? Hearing that ki-ki-ku-ku-ka-ka sound when the robots transformed... LOVELY!

Transformers, more than meets the eye
Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of...
The Decepticons

Next cartoons M.A.S.K., Macross, The Centurions, Star-Com and Visionaries!

I guess this is true!

Class Clown
You are 14% Rational, 71% Extroverted, 57% Brutal, and 57% Arrogant.
You are the Class Clown. This means you walk down the center of the classroom with books on your head, while the teacher stares on in...

Shit, I really need to stop looking at these pictures while I'm typing.

Anyway, I MEANT to say that you are the Class Clown, and this means that you are extroverted, mean, and arrogant. You are not very rational, so you gravitate towards things that produce feelings or emotions over thoughts (like fart jokes or spitballs, for instance). You are also an extrovert and rather full of yourself, so of course you want constant attention for yourself and think you are somehow better than others. (Upon hearing the expression "you are full of yourself", you probably also slyly feel the need to ask women if they would like to be "full of yourself" too. I am assuming you have a penis. I often make that assumption, being fond of the penis.) You can also be a bit mean-spirited, and like a class clown you wouldn't hesitate to make a joke at someone else's expense, no matter how terrible it would make them feel. So your personality defects are that you have to be the center of attention, that you don't care about others, and that you are rather irrational and motivated by intuitions. Now stop walking around with those books on your head and sit down this instant! Or else I'll be forced to stand here, hands on my hips, doing nothing once again!

To put it less negatively:

1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational.

2. You are more EXTROVERTED than introverted.

3. You are more BRUTAL than gentle.

4. You are more ARROGANT than humble.

Compatibility:

Your exact opposite is the Robot.

Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Schoolyard'>http://www.okcupid.com/tests/describescore?testid=4741219933576750506&score0=0&score1=100&score2=100&score3=0">Schoolyard Bully, the Smartass, and the Brute.

If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits.

Not much of a life but it's my life

Last week was the first time I've booked outta nee soon so early! 6+pm the sun was high, the world was colourful and the air was fresh(with car exhaust!). Went home with the other 2 ooc personnel Singh(toe fracture) and Alvin(hearing damage). U both owe me $5 each! Time to play the role of a loan shark... must adopt a "beng" pseudonym for that job now.

2 more weeks and our littkle pervert aka sgt hainanese chicken aka duck(quack x3) is gonna leave us for australia to be a pilot. Better get into fighter man! Ok lah, maybe fokker 50 also can but i rather see you pilot the c-130! So we went to our usual, Acid Bar for a TK drinking session. Present: Basil, Manson, Brad, the Little pervert and I. Tiko chew couldn't(clan leader somemore!) because he had to keep his mom company and Bernard wasn't updated(uh-oh). Met 2lt Gay siong there too, had some small talk then we proceeded to have fun with the guiness fairy who brought us on some guiness tour where we had to have a face paint with free guiness to drink too! Basil's idea and we got a small cup as a gift but Manson wasn't too hot with the idea of going for the tour, saying we were making a fool of ourselves. Be more sporting lah brudder bloody spoiler! So after 2 bottles of beer, 1 sg sling and 2 am we went to orchard tower, this time we went inside because I always wanted to know what that place was about. SICK I tell you! There were transvestites all around and some girls but I was very scared. And I don't know why the ang mohs like the bapoks so much. I saw them caressing them on the way out and walking to the hotel ewwww...

Woke up with a hangover the next day. Dunno why but I find my resistance to alcohol has been dramatically weakened. Can't tell why though. But managed to be on time for the TS makan session at some japanese restaurant in wheelock. As usual, don came the latest saying the VIP should be last... uh-huh... Something also felt amiss... is it because the girls were not here with us? Hmmm Must be because we didn't bring a camera along lah! haha. No lah, wished y'all were there.

Finally, Congrats to the new batch of DFST Officer Cadets entering OCS(that goes out to you Yeow Ming!). Do your best for your country and do her proud. Hope to join y'all in 3 months time!

I feel like the Ken doll

Ever since I got my No.1 and 2 uniform I've been so inspired to commission. So close! My family got me to put them on and said I look so smart in it. Feels very special to put it on too :) but I think I have to wait awhile longer than the rest of my friends cuz I've officially OOCed and have been "promoted" to corporal and have taken a $300 reduction in pay! Guess there'll be no more officer style spending habits for awhile haha. Hopefully I can get into Delta and Foxtrot wings for my proterm and commission in dec 10 so that I could invite the TS gals since they'll be in sg for the holiday break! See, I got Team Spirit right?

So what have I been up to since that fateful day? Nothing much. Sitting around, reading the papers, books I can find lying around, surfing the net, watching rugby, passing some documents from the office to HQ(which is very near), sweeping the floor and clearing the trash. Basically a 9-5 job with alot of lobo which means I actually have time to rest and recover but it still aches even after I went for acupuncture. Haiya... I just failed my medical exam(and I know some bitch is very happy I failed it) to be a regular but since I've made another appointment, let's hope I pass it :)

Since I've been postde to STW(specialist training wing) which trains the future sergeants aka the back bone of the army, I've been interacting with them. Best part is that Wei Xun and Jian Wei is there which means I've got friends. Anyway, I always go up to their bunks to tok kok lah. Being in the company of the corporals or rather, sergeants to be really boosted my confidence because I know I can connect with them. That means when I eventually become an officer I know I can have good working relationships with the Sect comds under me. And no, I do NOT believe in drawing the line between officers and non-coms because I believe in maintaining friendship with the sect comds but at the same time maintain professionalism during work and if I have to screw the sect comds I will do it(but discreetly away from the men). But lets hope that never happens.

So sian, more of my friend are leaving me. First, my 3rd cadet buddy Wei Siong to be a pilot, then the TS girls to aus to study, then the little pervert, another pilot in afew weeks time and Al next month on a year-long detachment to Thailand. Must drink until we are drunk and merry ya! To our usual bar!

Time to get outta bed

Have been lying on the bed for most of the day to nurse the back injury... here pain, there pain. Cannot take it, have to get out of the bed. The newspaper, time mag and my vietnam war book cannot keep me occupied the whole day mah. So, what an I doing at 2300 hours? Listening to S.O.A.P's "Grace/Gimmie A Guitar" and the smashing pumpkins' melancholy album which brought me back to my angst filled teenage years and poly days especially when I was listening to "Zero" and "Bullet with butterfly wings".

Yesterday while on the train to the hospital I happened to peek at someone's paper regarding the 2 year-old kid who was kidnapped and murdered by her step-father. Can't believe someone could do something so evil to such a lovely child. It made me feel sick because I have a 6 year-old sis and I cannot imagine anything hurting her.

Also, while in the train I saw this pregnant lady standing and I don't know why anyone didn't bother to give her a seat! They were all pretending not to look at her! OMG, these people should burn at the stake man! If they had an injury then ok lah but not everyone sitting in a train has an injury right? Heck, even injured I still gave up my seat to the old folks and pregnent ladies! *sign* PEOPLE!!! What we need is compassion! Where is yours?

A classic case of "See! I told you..."

Ok, So I've went to see the specialist today and told him everything about my condition. Went for x-rays all over my body I think I'm gonna become irradiated and turn green. So when I went back to the doc for my condition(This is for all the unbelievers) he said: "*deletes the chim and scientific parts* I have to OOC you." Bo pian lor, Got my no.1 and no.2 uniform(the smart white army uniform for parades and dinner you see in ndp... alright, just the no.1) but nevermind lah, I need the rest to recover from the pain, wanting to continue in the current course and try to commission now is pure vanity and selfishness. Next week is my check up and after that is my interview to be a guards regular officer(my dream job!), wish me luck!. See y'all at the parade square on 10 december! Xiang xing wo ba xin jia po... We are one marching on... We come from many places... forgot the other comms parade songs already lah

I'm in bloody pain but although I'm daunted I'm never defeated!
