Then took day off, rushed home for driving lesson #7, was trying very hard not to fall asleep lor... But surprisingly, todae turned out to be my best performance so far, ZERO engine stalls todae!!! Horray!!! My instructor commented i drove very well todae, onli sometimes never check blindspot nia... Lol...

Soccer this morning was cancelled due to rain, wad disappointment... So in the afternoon we met up at kovan for some World Combat, pool and bowling... World Combat was not bad, i achieved another personal highest rank of Captain before i was killed... Bowling was quite fun too, long time never play liao, i was considered the winner among me, alvin and tys, cos i finished 1st, 2nd and 2nd in 3 games... In formula one points this translates to 26 points, compared to tys' 24 pts and alvin's 22 pts... LOL!
After tat had dinner at one of the coffeeshops there, the western food was both nice and cheap relatively, chicken chop with rice for onli 4 bucks!!! Then we decided to play nite soccer, went to to have a quick change of attire... And since there were onli 4 of us, we decided the play a slightly different game, where a goal wasn't putting the ball into the net, but striking any part of the woodwork... Haha... It was damn hard to score la, open goal oso "pa jiao", in the end i onli scored once, but my "pong" sound was definitely the loudest of all the hits! haha...
Dunno wads coming up tmrl, ktv was all planned and ready to go, until DW pang sei again, now i dunno whether its still on... Sigh...

Todae was one of the worst Christmas Eve in my life, nua-ing at home seems to be a genuine possibility, until i found kkk who oso had nowhere to go... So both of us chiong arcade at kovan, then somehow we ended up in hougang central... Received this call from alvin, he oso damn sian at home, and so he joined us too...
Sadly K box was too ex, and kkk dosen wanna play pool, so he left early, leaving me and alvin to fight it out in a match of 9-ball race to midnite... I won it 13-11!!! After tat we waited freaking long for bus 80, and i finally reached home now...
Soccer wif JR tmrl, as expected the 2 guys staying in hougang decided not to go to another part of hougang for soccer (dun understand how they think), but there shld still be enuf ppl, hope its fun enuf...

It was kinda a step back for my driving today, forgotten my well-practised moving off from the previous lesson, stalled a number of times... Well at least my braking and left-turns are more or less up to standard liao, but still quite disappointed by myself... The only excuse i can give is maybe the wet weather put me off, having the wipers flash across once every few seconds...
On off today, but mostly nua at home... Juz realised the "射雕英雄传" VCD i'm watching now was filmed in 1983!!! Think the "黄榕" in this show is very cute, but got a shock when i tried to find out more abt her on the net... She passed away 20 yrs ago, committed suicide by gas poisoning, reason being she offended some big shot, and got gang-raped by some gangsters... So sad... Sigh...
5 guys from my camp will ORD tmrl, feel happy for them, but at the same time feel frustrated tat i still have 1 more yr to go... It's really damn sian lor... Hope time passes very quickly...

Its finally here, todae's my last day of leave, going back ta camp tmrl... Abit sian, but staying at home nua oso sian, so nvm la... Christmas coming soon, holidays again soon...
Dunno y, my dreams are always dramatic, very "happening", though i cant really remember every single detail when i wake up... Sometimes i rather stay in my dream, much more adventurous than my real life, which is like monotonous... Perhaps its bcos i can do alot of things i cant do in real life, when i dream...
Finally cut my hair todae, its been growing longer and longer tat i look more like NSmen, not NSF, lol... The haircut is not tat fantastic, but at least i think it looks neater now...

Yesterday's RT was xiong, so xiong tat i'm still aching all over right now... Met up with the rest to shop for the Christmas gift at TM, walked ard alot but still undecided on wad to buy... In the end we went to play arcade first, after tat i went to buy this 2006 diary as my gift...
Steamboat was almost cancelled bcos of rain, but luckily the skies cleared fast enuf for us to proceed according to plan... Dw drove me, jk and kl there, plus we picked up yvonne along the way in tampines... Well the food wasn't tat great, cos we went to Chong Pang, but it was fun as most odacians were there... The highlight of the day was the gift exchange, guess who got my diary??? its KL!!! lol... I myself got Shi Min's towel, but dun think its big enuf for me la... haha... Nvm, i'll not use it then, keep it as a souvenir...
Went to chiong another rd of World Combat after dinner, i reached my personal highest rank of LTA, after some good teamwork with DW... LOL, i noe i suck, but i still feel tat the game is quite fun... After tat we drove ard to J8, where the rest of the folks were chatting over some coffee... Once again DW went holan, but this time the route presented itself, and we realised we were on the right way of travel...
First time drinking at coffee bean, din noe wad's nice, so i juz ordered ice blended mocha, it was nice, but at $6 i felt some heartpain... Eventually we went back at 2 plus, ZY sent me home... Was so tired i quickly fell asleep, and woke up late for todae's soccer... We went planning to go out again in the afternoon, but after some conflictions, and a pang sei by a certain officer led to us all rotting at home... Not tat i mind tat, i was still tired from yesterday, and took a nap till now... SHIOK!!!

I get pressured into making mistakes easily... It happened to me twice in 2 days...
Firstly, i missed an easy match winning shot while playing pool with TYS, i was leading 4-2 then in a race to 5... In the end, TYS won the game 5-4, i punched the table for $7 bucks... Kao!
Secondly, i stalled my car in a busy paya lebar junction today while driving, resulting in honks from the lorry right behind me... Guess i was too anxious to get moving in heavy traffic, resulting in me releasing the clutch too early... Sigh...
Lady luck dosen help me either, she has gone to some lucky chap in Woodlands, who was the SOLE winner of a $2.8 million jackpot in today's Toto...
Fuck...

Had driving this morning, learnt something called "directional change", still dun really understand the point of learning this, cos its essentially 3-pt turn cum vertical parking combined into one... Maybe it is to perfect my turning techniques, cos after this particular training i realised my turns have become much smoother, i no longer make wide turns... :)
Overall i thought i did well, onli stalled once, tat happened the moment i moved off after taking over the car, lol... After tat i was able to control the clutch better, so much so tat i out-accelerated a taxi while moving off from a traffic junction... Haha... Drove on roads tat had heavier traffic todae, had to weave in and out of lanes quite often, sometimes even on my own initiative, when i thot the car in front was too slow for me... Guess my biggest problem now is keeping to the speed limit, cos i'm supposed to go onli 50km/h... But no matter how lightly i step on the accelerator it always go beyond 60km/h, sian half...
My instructor mentioned i will be completing the syllabus in 3-4 lessons time, which i think is rubbish, cos i still have alot to learn... Parking, lane changing, s-course, crank-course and many many more... I'm juz hoping to pass the practical test 1st time round, defying the myth of 1st-test-fail ubi driving centre...
ODAC gathering coming up this sat, steamboat at marina bay, everyone has to bring a present to exchange, guess its bcos Christmas is coming... I still dunno wad to buy, but not to worry, i have a whole week to decide and to shop for the gift, cos i'm on leave!!! Super shiok to be at home instead of camp, but nonetheless very bored as well, cos i'm all alone... Waiting for wed, when tys begins his leave, then we can go out liao... Haha... I wanna watch King Kong!!!

Attended KKK's commissioning parade todae, i muz say its pretty nice... All the big shots were there, COA, Teo CH and even president Nathan, guess the OCTs felt very honoured indeed, esp the one and only lucky chap that the president spoke to during his parade inspection...
Congrats to KKK and JR, who finally got their 2LT ranks, all their efforts had paid off, and i wish them all da best for their future postings, hopefully as slack as possible, lol... Well muz thank DW todae for fetching us ard, though we went holan quite a number of times but i knew it wasn't ur fault... Felt bad that we used up 1/4 tank of his petrol todae, i oso dunno how to compensate him... I can onli promise tat i will definitely fetch u guys ard in the future, when i have a car... Dunno when would that be, but i would certainly want it to happen asap...
Soccer tmrl with the 2 newly commissioned officers, hopefully it will be fun... I'm beginning to regain my interest in this sport, perhaps due to the enthusiasm of my campmates whom i always play with... Will be on leave for the whole of next week, not much plans actually, everyone's busy with things so i'll most prob be rotting at home... Well anyone who wans to jio me out pls feel free... LOL...

Todae is a very special day in my life... Exactly 1 yr ago on this day, i enlisted for NS... I can still remember the vivid details of tat very day...
i woke up at 8.30am, ate my final civi breakfast of vegetarian bee hoon, and headed for the bus stop... Took bus 88 to pasir ris, boarded the shuttle bus to the ferry terminal, and took a window seat on the fastcraft... Alot of things went thru my mind tat time, feeling very jittery... Finally i arrived in Tekong at 11.30am...
Was immediately separated from my parents upon setting foot on the island, being ushered to different places... Exchanged my pink ic for the green 11B, then headed to take the oath, met up with my parents again during lunch... The food was not bad, but i juz din have the appetite, so i threw away most of the food...
Finally it was time for my parents to leave Tekong, i can tell u tat moment is the worst feeling u will ever have, feeling left alone in this sickening island... After they left, we were separated into the various companies and marched to our bunks, on the way collected the super duper heavy duffel bag and field pack... It was such a struggle bringing all my stuffs up to platoon 4 on the 5th level, where i belong to...
Really felt homesick during the first few days, din have any appetite for cookhse food at all, was feeling moody whole day, but slowly i adjusted and it began to feel alrite...
Haha... Have alot of memories of that significant day, but the arrival of this date also means another event, I'm now a second-yr soldier, and 1 YEAR TO ORD!!!!!!!!!

This morning had driving again, it was much better than last time round, seem to have gotten the hang of the car alady... Still managed to stall a number of times, but most of the time i was able to move off extremely smoothly, even on sloping roads, sense of achievement!
KL starting his course todae, and from wad he mentioned in his sms, the course seem to suck... Well its bad enuf tat he's gotta stay in for the course, its esp difficult after staying out for so long, i can imagine tat feeling really sucks, juz putting myself in his shoes... It feels like going thru enlistment again, sigh... Well talking abt enlistment i've juz realised i'm edging very near to my 1 yr anniversary in the army... Its been a long tough yr, but i've still got 1 more yr to go, must tahan!
And talking abt staying in, it might happen to me as well... Well Ravelin is opening soon, manpower would be needed there, heard they stay in, so hopefully they dun post me there... Even if i dun get posted there, the entire unit might be converted to stay-in to ensure "fairness", so nothing can be confirmed yet, the future is still uncertain... Hopefully they'll take their time to make the conversion, which i feel is inevitable, and by tat time i would have ORDed!!!
Was juz reading up my old blog entries during my A level mugging and BMT period, i realised i seem to have lost the direction i set out at the start of this yr, how come??? DW mentioned i slimmed down alot after BMT, but have since put the weight back on... Shit!! I must must must must must slim down!!!
Pray hard for my future...

Sigh, this month really broke liao, totally dry... After a weekend filled with pool, i'm left with 40 bucks, of which 33 will go to driving tmrl... Left with 7 bucks for one more week till my next payday on friday, hopefully i'll get my marksman money plus all the rank backpay...
My block leave will be coming soon, from 10th to 19th Dec, planning to use the time to go for as many driving lessons as possible... Been thinking alot abt the future lately, still deciding whether to stay in or out during uni... Both have their pros and cons, both need to spend alot of money... If i do stay out, i would definitely buy a car, cos its senseless to spend 2 hrs travelling to and fro everyday... But again its costs alot to maintain a car, to stay in would be cheaper, but it somehow means back to army life, which is freaking sian...
Then after uni, wad am i gonna be??? Really dun have a fixed target of wad profession to be in, juz wanna earns loads of money, to give my family a good life, dun wan my future kids to ever worry abt money... Sigh, its gonna be hard, but i'll try...
