a reminder never to lose your temper
January 9, 2009

yesterday, kiat long was being upset about the duties because he had one. and that, on top of other people niao-ing me, because they have duties too finally pissed me off and i lost my temper. the sequence of events was something like this.
kiat long: aye i have duty.
me: yes.
kiat long: how come no duty [...]

life is not a waiting room
October 19, 2008

so my troopers do their gunnery training in another camp where there’s a simulator and it happens that everytime they go, i’m sent to supervise. so everytime we go, there’s a staff sergeant there who never fails to fuck us for just about everything. and it just pisses me off because everytime we get screwed [...]

oh my god i can’t believe
October 12, 2008

i just realised that i’m leaving for australia, like really very soon. for a month too, which is really very long. my troopers left today, one week early, boohoo for them. the rest of the specs went to the airport to see them off, cos its their first trip abroad as a soldier and everything. [...]

drown her back to sleep
September 20, 2008

okay, we’ve finally finished packing our stores for wallaby. it hasn’t really occurred to me that we’re leaving in a couple of weeks. in my head, gcc has still just ended. looks like there really isn’t going to be a boring time for me in the army.
anyway, most of the company went out to help [...]

the water runs faster now. soon come the rapids.
September 14, 2008

oh no, manchester united lost last night. to liverpool, no less. what a bloody miserable start to the damn season. come on man, beating liverpool used to be a given. just me guessing that we’re more dependent on cristiano ronaldo than we’d like to think. leonard says that fergie’s getting arrogant, and his tactics are [...]

god punishes us for what we can’t imagine
September 13, 2008

the return to normalcy is complete. thank god for that.
we made the comeback our own way. running off to simpang bedok after whatever business in camp was wrapped up and totally gorging ourselves on pratas and roti johns and fried chicken. we were hungry for food, yes. nothing satiated that better than oily greasy food [...]

and so it ends
September 7, 2008

hey it’s over. i’ve finally emerged from the month long nightmare that is the guards conversion course.
would have like to have posted some dramatic picture of our graduation ceremony, but can’t get my hands on any of the pictures right now. they should be nice, i expect, since i’m standing front and centre of the [...]

endure
August 31, 2008

over the past few years, i think i’ve announced several times that the coming week would be the worst one of my life. or that this would be the last time i would see pulau tekong. and i’m proven wrong time and again until i realise that life will never get easier. no one ever [...]

losing
June 29, 2008

i’ve started losing things again. not the gone forever sort of lost, but rather just misplaced. as in i know its around somewhere, i just don’t know where. i think i’ve misplaced my handphone a solid three or four times over the course of the past two weeks. the worst time was of course dropping [...]
