Tired

This week, was my off week, but only the weekends were worth mentioning n thursday swimming with kat for pecs.

Playing bball with Rj old boys is the epitome of destruction of self esteem.. when u realise that on the 3rd possession ur wheezing like an asthmatic old man and find it hard just to jog up court, something is wrong.

no more confinement = no more best thing ever to be forced upon me. somehow can help but feel a little sad.

but on a side note, u tend to forget how great it feels to spend money on others, cos their worth the spending alot more than urself, if u get what i mean.
(kat this is not an excuse for u)

and most importantly, elizabeth yang is coming back on tuesday july 14th. HELL. YEAH.

Transformers ft. Megan Fox

Today is the first opportunity i've got to watch Transformers ft. Megan Fox since it was released.. yes. its been a long time since civilian air..

Time spent in Seletar East Chalet has been, rewarding physically, if mentally bankrupt.

I can safely say that im now fitter, thinner, stronger, and have spent less money in the past 2 weeks than any 2 weeks of my life. which is, all benefits if u look at everything from the outside..

Sometimes feelings mess everything thats obviously good, up.
2 weeks in seletar east chalet is one of the best possible things i could be doing for myself, but the feeling is just wretched. ( its not sian, its mother fkin holy shit please kill me sian).
Or like how the "no-girlfriend" syndrome is nothing but a mental need.. and so on..
Its easy to be philosophical in camp but outside, the mind just buries itself in the media barrage. Shielding itself from the feelings.

Elizabeth comes back to sg on the 14th of july!!
Unfortunately, my first day of confinement is on the 14th of july.. arrangements have got to be made. All are welcome to welcome her back, details can be gotten thru me.

I was asked
"How important is baptism to christianity?"

I think, being a christian is like, being invited to heaven, being baptised is like collecting the free ticket..
So right now i've been invited, am very excited to go, but havent picked up my free ticket, so no go..

but thats me.

I've got 6 more days of freedom, and 125 days of service

Sitting down talking cock

why is it, 10 guys cant sit down together for an hour without
booze/girls/lectures/warning orders/dota/cs/movie/soccer match without a certain number trying to get everyone to move on to do something "more productive"

while 3 girls can just spend a whole afternoon and half a night with a little bit of food and a camera and call it "best saturday everrr :)"

i think an army mess is alot like a town hall in warcraft. once u destroy the town hall, all the peasants will just stand around, not sure what to do, which is exactly what happens to all the commanders once the mess is closed for a day. it is such a revealing pathway into the unit, given how the mess has become the bedrock to all daily activities.

in other news, bball inter cluster trials -> bball inter formation trials -> bball inter formation games ftw

On stupidity :

"I hate them, because they are fucking stupid. No. I don't hate them because they are fucking stupid. Hamsters, are fucking stupid. But you can't hate a hamster. A hamster tries its hardest. A hamster puts its best foot forward. Nobody would want to strangle a hamster. Hamsters... are ok."
-Nick "East of Nowhere"

When people do the most holy-shit things, at the most inopportune moments that result in you entertaining a mind boggling question at the worst possible time. (which is btwn u sleeping and 15 mins after u've been awakened).

You think out of the box to answer the question in as soothing and "i dont think ur an idiot" tone that u can manage and they say "oh, ok thanks sir" and leave u just confused, slightly pissed off and sweating cos the weathers fkin hot.

Old Rule New Rule

Old Rule : Hustle Hard
New Rule : Under-promise, over deliver.

Telling your boss u are gonna deliver the result in a near-impossible 3 days(and ending up asking for 2 days more) looks good for about, those 3 days.
Asking for 7, and finishing in 6, gives you an extra day, and makes u look a hell of a lot better than the 1st guy.

Old Rule : Be perfect.
New Rule : Be perfect only when it matters

A day has 24 hours, A week has 7 days, A month, 4 weeks, and a year, 12 months.
You probably only need to be perfect for about 15% of the time. Not only would your boss think the same of you as the 1st guy, u'lld probably be happier, more fun to be around, and alot less irritable.

Old Rule : Dont break the rules
New Rule : Dont get caught

Not breaking the rules and not getting caught breaking the rules are the exact same thing to your boss.

Old Rule : Honesty is the best policy
New Rule : White lies are the new truth

People dont want the truth, they just want someone to blame.

Old Rule : Take Responsibility
New Rule : Take Credit

You may be the sole reason for an event's success. Make sure people know it.

"Today, i noticed i have to lift up my fat to see my penis. FML"

Last week was brief but it felt anything but..

I found a rat on my bed, it was dead. It had been dead for about 2 days.
I know this cos my roomate(s) saw it while i was on off and did nothing but tell everyone about it.
The thing is they sleep in beds barely 2m from it, how messed up is that.
So we cleared it via broom n dustpan, slipped it into a small plastic bag, and left it with the garbage at the landing's staircase, where it stayed for another 3 days..

Area cleaning at the officers' area is more of a test of tolerance. The least tolerant ones always end up cleaning up, its. just. chui.

And this makes it even harder to believe that we won, best engineer unit, and best combat support unit. Everyones moderately excited about the forecasted 1 week off that the upper echelon are gonna pump down to us. cool.

And... i signed 3 more extras! For a mistake that was by every traditional belief, my fault, yet, by every reasonable analysis, not. Its a tedious story and if i hang out with u u probably already know.. Not that extras are anything to shout about from the forerunner in extras officer in the unit, me.

Yesterday, we gathered at taka,
ate a huge variety of food, non-stop for an entire hour,
then some of us went to pick up the booze and the car,
then we gathered back at ecp for music and supper and drinks by the sea.
After that, we went down to changi airport to pick up a 3 weeks gone friend,
then we went to swensons to celebrate a birthday at 0130.

hows that sound for a chui saturday night? hahahaha.

Pandemic 2

To see/learn what a truly destructive virus should possess to wipe out the entire human race,

go to
http://www.addictinggames.com/pandemic2.html
and play Pandemic 2.

It may not be amazingly realistic but it sure opened my eyes..

like how a virus can only have a "sneezing" symptom and nothing else, to infect 10s of 1000s of people in the country and overseas without governments noticing it as a threat, then suddenly mutating to cause fever, heart failure, emphysema, thus wiping out the infected aka majority of mankind before anyone can react, and then developing a drug resistance to counter any vaccine thats being produced.

Your success in the game will breed your own fear of a virus/bacteria/parasite
