1:03am - Whoa! It's the wee hour of the mornin' and I ain't asleep yet! Just finished watchin' a show on the VCD player... "Beautiful Boxer"... It's a ver good Thai movie... It's based on a true story about the famous transvestite kickboxer, Toom Praniya or somethin' like that.. The movie shows how he became a "woman" and became a famous kickboxer... From young till he became a famous actress and model. The actor who plays Toom in the movie, potrayed the real Toom very well... It's a good show to watch.

Anyways, got my nights off yesterday night and instead of stayin' in camp, I went out all the way to Hougang to meet up with Aniz... Socks!! That's all I can say... It was one hell of a long journey...

pluGGy called me up a few minutes ago and boy she sounded kinda bad... She called me up just to give her office number. I can't believe that I just said that... pluGGy's office... Kinda cool... She likes this job! It's a good thing. She sounded sick on the phone and well, she is. She's havin' the same thing again. She can't eat much cuz everytime she does that, she would fell like puking... I wish I could do something for her... *SIGH*... Suddenly, I miss her dearly, I hope that she'll get better soon... The coolest friend/ex-girlfriend/buddy I ever had...*SIGH*

Looks like I gotta go, my friend is buggin' me to shut off the lights... (END - 1L20am)

11:52pm - What a day! Had my first detail today and that was a store run. Made two trips to Pasir Ris Camp today and it wasn't that bad. I'm still in camp and most of the guys booked out today but we have out Life Run tomorrow at Pasir Ris Camp.. I can go home actually but I'm accompanyin' one of my bunk mate cuz he live in Woodlands and that is far... So to cut cost and save time, he stayed in. Our senior drivers are shavin' their hair along the corridor outside... They set up a "barber" shop... Hehehe, it looks like a makeshift barber store.. They set up mirrors, and the shavin' kit all lined up, the cloth you put around ur body... MAD!

Rode my friend's bike again and it was only a one round thing... Ridin' is super easy... While waitin' for the bike to warm up, pluGGy called me up and she sounded really bad.. I'll be headin' down to her place to check her up on how she's doin' and maybe accompany her since I got nothin' on tomorrow. Dzafir's sick and her couldn't jam, B's stayin' in camp as he got duty to do. So yeah, I'm free for pluGGy the whole day! Let's just hope she doesn't change plans cuz I know sometimes she would do last minute changes. I hope she took her rest like how I told her to... I'm worried for her...

"Why do they have to do this to her? Just as things were going well?!"

12:45am - Hours had past since my last entry and boy, not much happened. I rode my friend's bike and it was awesome. I've learnt one thing, if you know how to drive a car, you would know how to ride a bike and vice versa. Rode around a few times and had a joyride at my friend's petrol expense, hehe. It would be a good idea if I were to enrol for a class 2B license but I told myself that I will never ride a bike on the road but my friend told me, even if you have a class 3 license, a class 2B license would come in handy in a case of any emergency... I might consider in takin' bike licence. My parents wouldn't like the idea but hey, I guess I'll be followin' my eldest brother's ways. He took bike licence without anyone in the family knowin'. No one knew about it until one incident happened but that's besides the point. Well, it's a big... MAYBE.

Anyways, ofter the fun joyride, we went up to buk and watched "Casino", starrin' Al Pacino and I love that show! It has an awesome storyline and what's best, it's a mafia movie, you know, the thick Italian American accent... I love that. I'm a sucker for Mafia shows!

The guys next door (Who are the senior drivers) went on with the VCD marathon, they're watchin' "Beautiful Boxer" right now... I would love to watch but I'm just too sleepy.

Life here in camp is okay I guess, gettin' along well with the senior drivers. They're really helpful in terms of showin' us around. Nice bunch they are.

Well, Looks like this will be my last entry for today...ermm...yesterday I mean...Cheers to all! (END - 1:00am)

12:41pm - Just ate my lunch at the cookhouse. Sat together with the recruits, somehow, that made me feel as if I'm on of them and it reminded me of how it was durin' BMT... You would rush when you eat, fearin' that you'll be fucked by any of the sargeants for bein' late. Ah.. Somehow, I miss my BMT days and it's true like what those who ORD-ed said..."BMT is on eof the best experience you'll ever get in your life..." from what I know, those new recruits might not be experiencing jungle trainin' because it has been said that the new batch of recruits for 3 SIR will be going through urban warfare trainin'... Another words, FIBUA (Fightin' In Built Up Areas)... I ain't sure if all of these are true... So if that is really true, these bunch won't be gettin' the taste of jungle life? Man, that kinda suck...

Anyways, not much things had happned since mornin' besides doin' our routine mornin' area cleanin' and slackin' at the canteen with our seniors. Sat there for about two hours or so... Cuz most of them don't have details... So there ain't much to do. Still got the remainin' half of the day to go... So yeah... (END - 12:53pm)

8:40pm, that's the time that is shown on my watch right now. Did nothin' much today, suppose to do my assessment bu my Staff couldn't find anyone to assess me. Fucked up ain't it? If it wasn't for that Merc incident, I would be in my friends' situation... Waitin' for details. Looks like I have to wait further. Did some servicin' and cleanin' of the MT Line Area. It was a borin' day. Make plans with Aniz, to meet her in Hougang but I was just too tired and well, Staff didn't let us out tonight. So in here I am. I'll be ridin' my friend's bike in a while, again... Ride around the parade square in camp. Maybe I'll go a few rounds.

Really low on cash these days and I've been askin' fags from others, beginnin' to feel bad askin' them. Gotta last till my next pay. Anyways, new recruits came in today and boy, it reminds me of my first day when I enlisted. Not havin' any ideas on what to do and you're like with other bunch of strangers. Gotta see their family when they came in the mornin'... Parents, Sisters, girlfriends... Whoa! They came in different shapes, sizez and colour... Heh! So well... It was quite a view for me and the guys. It was an awesome sight! My friend was like sayin'..."Enlistees go to my left, parents to my right and ladies below the age of 25 and above 16, please stand in front..." Hehe! He makes it sound as if it was some kind of Chix Audition...It was a crappy mornin'!

Amidst all this, I kept thinkin' about that someone... and I'm pretty sure there's another person who is doin' the same as what I'm doin'... missin' that same one person. She's been too busy, I feel that her new job somehow took her away from me and my friends. Talkin' to her less and rarely seein' her made me feel that somehow we're losin' that bond we had together before. Bein' crappy, laughin' about stupid jokes we make and just have fun. I don't blame her and it ain't her fault... She had to do what she had to do... She got that job and she's happy with it... I'm glad that she's happy...

Aight guys, gotta go for now... Till then, Cheers!!

Tuesday, 31st August 2004

Hey low to all! It's been a while since I wrote in. I'm in camp right now and the time is 8:26pm. Here I am in Selarang Camp (Along Upper Changi Road) and in 3 SIR, that's where I'm posted to. It's been about a week and a half here and well, it ain't that bad. I'm a stay-in peronnel alon with three other guys who was from Echo, so it ain't that bad. Got along with the senior drivers and they really helped us a lot. Gave us tips on drivin', tips on how to survive in this unit and ways of life here. I was lost at first but after a while, slowly gettin' the hang of it. Goin' for my land rover assessment tomorrow and once that is done, I woud have details to drive.

Got into my first accident last Thursday, well, it wasn't a big one, just a tiny one but the fucker in that stupid old Merc made a big fuckin' fuss out of it. Here's what happened...

I was drivin' in a convoy, all of which containing the new drivers, includin' myself. It ain't a big convoy, just four vehicles. The LSV "Spider" in the lead, followed by three Land Rovers trailin' it and I was drivin' the last vehicle. So there we were along BKE and god damn! It was one hell of a heavy traffic, so vehicles were goin' in a stop-go motion. My vehicle had to stop and when I had to move off, my clutch's bitin' point was weak and plus the slope, I rolled back, hittin' the fuckin' Merc behind me. I didn't roll back far and that means one thing, this fucker was tailin' me closely, as if to kiss me Rover's ass... The damage:- a slight dent on his radiator's grill and I stress the word, SLIGHT... All this happenin' near the KJE exit on BKE... Fucked up ain't it? But it is all settled by my Major, he covered me... Private settlement, if I ain't wrong.

Enough of that, The gig on Saturday was...well...okay. Only a handful came, a mere below 20... This happened possibly of two reasons... Firstly, NUS is on the other side of the island, so distance was quite an issue... Secondly, there were three other gigs goin' on that day and well... The gig that has some ska bands, attracted crowds... Ska does sell. But whatever the thing is, we had fun durin' our set and at the gig itself. 20 Dischanger impressed me, a three piece band with sounds a bit like Ataris, NUFAN and MxPx... That is from what I feel and think... If you guys disagree, I'm sorry but this is from my point of view. Kate of Kale was awesome, as always... MSC, with their new sound, they rock! With Azman's trademark of the metal sign with his hand while holdin' the mic and their frontmen's hyper showmanship.... Strayvoice is an awesome hardcore band.... They're young but they're fuckin' good... I give my outmost respect to their drummer... He is talented... The rest of the bands was good too... No Direction made our first appearance as a six piece band... We recruited two new members as our vocalists. We did bad though on that day but thanks to them, they covered us. Before I go on... On behalf of No Direction, I wanna say big thanks to the guys from Kate Of Kale for invitin' us to play and also to all who came down for the gig and also to our followers... Love you guys!!!

I'm back again... Aniz called me and we chatted, boy... it was a long chat. This girl somehow has a likin' for me but hell, I don't know if I like her... Somehow, she does attracts me... in a way...but I ain' sure... let's see where does this one goes.

I miss pluGGy... After almost a month (I think) that I finally get to se her. It was this last Sunday. Went out with her together with B and Dzafir. It was really nice to be able to see her again cuz she's been really busy... big time! It's a rare thing now whenever I recieve her message or call... It's just great to hear from her... pluGGy, if you're readin' this, thanks... For sparin' your time to hang out with us. Love ya!

Well, that's all for this entry, till next time, cheers to all!
