Global recession

Everyone is talking about recession every now and then, perhaps not when I’m in camp. The Army should really take this chance to psyco people to sign on, come out with some campaign or  ‘global recession, sign on is the right thing’ kind of slogan to attract people. Furthur more, working in the Army is the only way to take money for government instead of paying, and all your work attire and meals are almost all sponsored by SAF. =)

In fact, posted to support/service unit in SAF isn’t that bad, at least I’m enjoying now. If i were in OCS or SISPEC course I’ll probably be sleeping in camp now and booking out tomorrow with less than 2 days of civilian life.

And I think my nose is sensitive to certain things, but I don’t know what it is. For some reason I keep sneezing in the workshop and in public, but it’s not flu or cold. And i realise strange things are happening to my body now, real strange.

Fun day woot!

Today cohesion day @ Bedok reservoir park followed by lunch @ Sakura. I could say the whole session was really awesome, becasue we had so much fun and talk cock session. But I agree it’s quite gay for all guys outing to be fun, but yeah it’s good. =)

We went to TP for some basketball game with some fellow wingmates, and I swear I’ll be as red as lobster tomorrow. It had always been this way when I go sun tanning to Sentosa, because that’s how I am.  Other then that, i think i injured my finger and pull a bit of my ankle muscles.

But still, today is a great day.

Happy Niu Year all!

Fortunately today my mum was feeling alright enough to go visiting, if not I think I’ll probably ground at home. My mum would be resting the whole of tml and so I’ll be ground, crap.

I’ve just realise that in my family tree for my generation, I’m the eldest of all base on position. Both my dad and mum are the eldest in their family, which makes me the eldest son of my parents the ‘biggest’ of all. But it’s 21st century now, position doesn’t matter as much as compared to before, whereby the eldest is the most big fark of all. When it comes to money, amount of meat given and etc, i will get double. Sound good? But it’s nothing now, the most during CNY your cousins will come and visit so that you can save the hassle of going to theirs.

Thinking about cousins, 97% of them are from my mum’s side and the 3% of the remaining belongs to my dad’s side. Why? Simply because my dad isn’t really that good and don’t stay in contact with his cousins and all. So that explains why I’ve so little cousins.

But still, I won’t and can’t hate my dad because of what he gave for me the past 20 year. Further more in order to be successful, filial is a must.

Year of Ox

You’ve probably heard people and the news saying that the year of Ox is gonna be a tough one, and some things in life you cannot achieve without a fight. However if we think on a brighter side, it will only make us tougher. A smooth journey would be good, but that won’t prepare us for the challenges ahead when we travel furthur down.

Mum is sick for the past few days, and if it’s really bad and my mum is still feeling sick, I think I will be grounded at home for this Chinese New Year, which means no ang baos for me!

On top of that, I totally do not have any mood for CNY this year, seriously. I’m not feeling sad or moody or whatsoever, but the atmosphere is just so dead around me. Other then the onceinmytwentyyears steamboat reunion dinner on CNY eve, that’s nth much that I’m looking forward to.

Ang baos perhaps.

Hole in pocket

Love matters is a pretty lame show, and it seems boring for me. But the fact is, the story line is really interesting and nice. Besically it talks about how youths and adults think about love and sex, and it is reflected throughout the whole film. For the story, i would give a 3.5 star out of 5 rating for this film.

After that was dinner at T3 Popeye, and it’s the second time that I’m eating it. The first time i ate was like 4-5 years ago when there is only one outlet at T2’s top level. Being at top level and there is really nth to do there, I’m quite lazy and relatant to go up so i did not eat it for the next 4 to 5 years.

After that was chilling at bar75, and we talk a lot on church and personal stuffs. Infact all of us has something that we wanted to do, but it’s because we have forgotten it when we are too busy in life so the thought just disappear.

And also, we people always complain that we do not have enough time for this and that, but when we have the time to do things, we did not spend it wisely.

Don’t complain too much

No matter how much we like to complain, we still have to serve the 2 years of army. It’s either you take it in a positive way and the 2 years will pass in a breeze, or take it a negative way and complain throughout the 2 years and suffer.

P.R.I.D.E stands for People Rest I Do Extra, and that’s wat some people says in my wing. The other wing got second for the skit and they got a half day off. Our wing gotten first and third but nothing. I’m perfectly ok with it, but I really can’t stand people complaining all day long especially coming from the same person over and over again.

If you realise, those who complain a lot doesn’t have a good life at all. A guy like me who doesn’t complain much and take things in a positive way sleeps well at night, and a guy who complain a lot keep thinking about the problem the whole day definitely won’t be able to sleep well.

People who complain, irritating enough. But they still compare us with others. What the fak.

I must really salute a handful of people from my wing that is able to take all these nonsense, half of them has high tolerance and patience level, another half came up with a slogan “Act blur live longer”. In fact it works quite well for me though, because in SAF there is this saying “Do things don’t get caught, get caught act blur and you might pass”

So just be contented with what you have, don’t complain so much please. I’m getting irritated.

Safety is above all

Remember skit thingy that i mention before? Today is the our camp’s safety day and all wings had to put up a skit for the day. Glad to say, the 2 performance that our wing put up gotten first and third respectively. Sad thing is, we will have more things do to because most likely we will be chosen to put it up during the SAF safety seminar sometime in Feb or March.And so, we had to juggle between work/lesson and skit.

Traffic police came down to show us some road accidents, and gosh it’s damn scary and gruesome. I’m having thought of getting a car license, not to mention about getting a bike.

Also, I’ve discover why China people are so successful. When people work, they work towards achieving their objective, and China people’s objective is money. So wherever they go, they will work and achieve it. Evetually, they will pat their backside and return to their country.

boring guard duty

Being a sentry for guard duty on a weekends is really driving me crazy. But still, I’ve manage to finish it, and lucky for me the guard commanders were very good.

Stoned the whole day at work, and I’m still suffering from post-guard duty syndrome. 5 weeks have pass and there is still a question mark on my stay in application. SAF really do things very slowly.

Work is bored

P.S: I shall refer army as job now, so as to make things easier for people to understand and for me to write.

In fact in a week, there’s only one day that we are in the hardworking mode:

Monday
Monday blues, enough said. 80% of our mood is still suffering from weekends hangover.

Tuesday
Hangover overcome, time to be serious and do/learn something constructive, hence being serious and hardworking

Wednesday
Being hardworking is tiring, so we will be recovering from our Tuesday’s work and only giving out our 70%.

Thursday
Just 2 days to weekends, productivity drops from 70% to 50% and we are looking forward to Friday.

Friday
The happiest and worse day of the week. Happy because it’s a Saturday the next day, worse because our productivty drops beyond 50%.

Sour plum is the best “weapon” against the Zzz monster. Followed by sweets, munching a biscuit or some food, and washing face. However if all fails and the Zzz monster is overwhelming, just gave up and sleep.

Oh btw, I’m still suffering from post guard duty syndrome. There will be another one this  Sunday, and I think I’m in the second stage of the disease called imsotiredthaticanfallasleepanytime.

Gg

Fun in army

We have a master sergeant who is so good with all the machines and armored vehicles that I thought he was born for the tanks. Lol! But seriously he’s so godly, and I’ve never doze off in any of his lesson. Because of him and 2 instructors, I’ve really learn a lot this week, and has the motivation to learn.

Instructors and sergeants are really good, at least they do not fcuk us around like what sergeants in Tekong did. That’s the really good part of being in a training institute.]

2 more months to go, and i hope to be a machine master by then.
