crap tagboard has made me irritated with how often it lags or failed to update properly when posting.
meanwhile, please direct all fan/hate mail to the email address specified within this humble blog.
in any other case, this blogger has been rather busy to even blog properly at times...i yearn for more time or at least internet access at the workplace.ho-hum.
Till the next post.Take care lovelies!=)

Still going strong.
Its all in the mind, when u believe, u can achieve, after so many years not doing SOC and even struggling to clear during my cadet days eons ago, i was pretty satisfied that i managed to clear soc three times today all under 9:15.
Not too bad for an oldie like me huh?
On another note, i am starting to realise the irony about blogging, some people whom do not have a clue about a person's life try to get an insight into the blogger's life from what they can grasp from the text the blogger dishes out, but their limited knowledge and understanding of the person inhibits or interferes with their comprehension of what is really the actual situation.
If you believe that you can understand a person just from a blog, then i wish to meet u, for you are truly an exceptional person whom is able to draw from text, the mind of an individual.

a long week building up to a nice close with the cny holidays.
havent had much rest.nor dinner lately.
the physical aspect of the job keeps me awake, yet it makes me hungry like hell and yearn for supper like a madman.
shack already can't think, thats very true.
especially when u try to run with a jerry can on your back.

BoringWorkLife
A really long week has past, whew.its been the longest time ever since i updated my blog or even get anywhere near a computer with internet access.
Work has seen me busy with preparing the troops for their ippt, the preparation for the demolition package and the actual day at Live firing area blasting claymores and bangalore thorpedos left me sunburnt and really tired out for the week.
Irregardless, i still found my way to DbL O to have a few drinks with Ivan before spending saturday catching Memoirs of a Geisha and having more supper then i should have.
Gonna get some shuteye for now and shall update in this space again should i get the time or content!
I miss Cali, where art thou?=)

RecceTrooper!
Had a tiring but satisfying nite training in Tekong last nite,
the scout platoon was last to be inserted into the PAC, but we burnt everyone else and we won first place!
Yay!!!
I'm gonna be busier then ever, coz theres loads of work to do, but with every day i feel happier, for i am motivated by being the leader of a group of inspirational soldiers whom make me run faster, work harder and believe that the army experience isn't one that you just come across "Chao-Geng", (malingering) indidividuals.
RecceTroopers all The Way!=)
Now..time to rest.
Overnite exercises arent great for old men like me.heeheehe

Come again another day!
The Rain has stopped (f0r now) in Sillypore.
The climate these few days reminded me of Planet M, after viewing some fotos of Melb yesterday, this Alien was all the more homesick then ever before.
Not knowing when i would set foot on Planet M again, i deduced that even if i did once again breathe in the pollen infested air of Planet M, the feeling would only be one similar to that of a last meeting with a past lover.
It feels so familar yet things would never be the same again, you'll feel happy and yet sad at the next instant, contradictory life is, even more so human emotions.
I miss my apartment, the street that i've walked down countless times to the city, everything about Planet M. Yet there are still so many things that i dont know about you, the place, the many little things that's special about u. This is life ain't it?
On a more emotionally sobering note, i will be reporting to Support Coy wef tomorrow and fingers crossed, i'll be staying there till the end of my tour as the Scout PC.
Unit life has been slow so far, although i have been bitching about not having a proper appointment, i'm glad that i have been slowly given the chance to get back in tune with the whole army routine, which is really good considering i would have been really thrown off should i have been thrown into the fray immediately.
Shall be posting up some pics of my foray into this place they call the Ministry of Sound, very posh indeed, but i simply do not comprehend the logic behind the requirement to make us queue for an hour at least when they could have let the clubbers in earlier so they may make more money from us buying booze from them asap!?! Pray tell the Homesick Alien why this is done?
Alritey.Shall be shopping for some shoes in awhile with the gang at Queensway later, time for me to get going!

YesSir!YesSir!3BarFool.
Baa baaa black sheep, have you any fool?
Yes Sir Yes Sir! a 3 Bar Fool!
Mmmm
i can't imagine myself as a nursery rhyme character, but indeed i was disillusioned with the first day of work.
But its honestly my own fault, i have hopes that were too high and i forgot that once a long time even before i signed on, i had already known this job is one more of disappointments then pleasant surprises.
I was reminded of this today when a roti prata decision made my day kinda low, however i must rejoice in the postitives rather then mull over the negatives.
I shall make the best of this posting one way or another, its time to be more proactive about my career rather then leave it in the hands of those whom are not as interested.If you aint interested yourself, then how do you expect others to be interested right?
Its time to catch up on what i've lost touch with, when once my navigation skills were trusted, i took the easy way out when someone else could do the job and since i hadn't practised what is a very important skill to have, perhaps then i didnt have the foresight as an nsf, theres time to pick up what i've neglected.
I'm off to bed now, another beautiful day beckons!
PS.
It feels nice when you know theres always someone behind you in whatever you do, this patient love is irresistable!
Thanks my dear nut!

A.I.S.S
Earlier it rained when we were trying to get our weekly game of basketball/court soccer on, we ended up at the nearby coffeeshops/kopitiam in local terms and chatted the night away.
Topics like r.s, how certain individuals in the group need some help in getting to know the opposite sex, settling down, etc were being discussed.
I'm not sure if this means we are getting really bored or old, but i fancied the topic of discussion this evening.=)
I was even more pleased and intrigued while at the coffeeshop, we sighted a group of people whom we recognised as being from our same batch, 1991-1994 in A.I.S.S. (holler if you know Molly Tan!)
It's nice to know these individuals are still keeping in touch and hanging out with each other for more then ten years now!
I was also really intrigued to find out what happened to the hottest girls in Sec.sch during our days and what they are doing now...mmmm even though i had absolutely no chance in getting anywhere near them back then in Sec.Sch, it remains a pleasant memory which was nostalgic yet sweetly so for a new year.
And i've decided to save up my gold coins = $1 for rainy days in my coinbank!
(the last time round before i left for studies i opened it up and it was abt 300plus buckaroos.i'll be on the lookout for bigger coinbanks as well as kind donations of either coinbanks/gold coins if there's anyone out there whom would wish to fulfill the dreams of a 27 year old.)
Signing off with a word of thanks for the great year i had and a holler to cheer in the new and even better one!

40 Years to Go.
A rainy New Year's day resulted in a balmy windy morning which reminded me of Planet M.
HOw i miss you so.
The previous year ended in spectacular fashion, perhaps this phase has been overused but a gathering of many old friends, a brokenhearted buddy crying on an alien's shoulder, a nice gesture for a friend to start the new year off, i would say it was a great way to end/start the old/new year.
Brudder Ong is chui again and this time round, what i thought has made him stronger has in fact rendered him a heavy blow to an old wound which has perhaps never healed. C'mon brudder, never put yourself down and i hope you remembered what i've told you last night. A new year, a new beginning, a new man, give up the attachments which has caused your weakness and you shall be a happier man.
Fishball noodles beckon!
