two more days, well one more day considering it’s almost midnight. yup, after a year and 3 months, i’m finally going to commission. i think i’m going to miss my cadet life actually. it’s easy being a cadet, no need to worry about the next day, it’s all planned out. but soon that’s going to change. going to have to take real charge of what’ll happen next. the past few days have burnt me black, well, gray actually. i have no clue why everyone turns red but i turn gray. maybe it’s too much alcohol.
anyway, staying in air wing’s a really different experience. i think i’ve had a really interesting cadet life. started off when i got my posted more than a year ago on the 22nd of march 2008. reported to ocs the following monday, no intention what so ever about signing on. posted to tango wing. was fun, well, sort of. did my 28 rm, compass, stuff like that, normal clm, execpt for the 28. signed my contract, jumped to air wing, stayed there and grew fat for 7 more weeks.
On the 22nd of may 2008, social night and end of my service term, moved on to my third bar. went to afs, stayed there for 2 plus weeks and ooc-ed. went on to lobo at cmpb at the recruitment center for the next 3 months. those were the days i learnt the most about the saf. grew damn fat there as well. finally started my course in ada, rolled over to the next course again. lobo-ed with ada wing afs. again, learnt about what a staff officer does, not fun, ot fun at all. went to mistral. and now, i’m finally going to commission.
i might be 6 months late but at least i’m finally going to commission. and so begins my career as a soldier. an airman, an officer. the past week back at safti was quite alright. VERY different from life back in good ‘ol AFS though. main differences between AFS and safti.
CHICKEN CUTLET!!!

night’s out!
we’ve been having lessons and parade rehearsals the past week. haven’t ran the parade square yet but i expect it’ll be soon before ssm blows. considering how bloody irritating the sar is. well, i’ve been more or less baked by the sun. now i’ve got this weird tan from my shoulder to the wrist. my hands are still chinese pink. my right arm is sore beyond imagine. and i have this kink in my back that just won’t go away.
but on the bright side, i’m finally going to commission!!! i dont care how many rounds he makes me run.
well, singapore’s been hit by swine flu now. kinda worrying since the last time sars hit the comms parade was cancelled. i hope that doesn’t happen this time round.
speaking of swine flu, i saw this lady on the train today, coughing like she had TB or something. disgusting, a pity though, quite a pretty girl. so like the concerned citizen i am, i passed her a pack of tissue and smiled. too bad i didn’t get her number, her name’s angela! haha )
nice name, figure she’s around my age, maybe a little younger. wasted.
well, here’s ain’t no sunshine by kris allen, american idol. (i wish there ain’t no sunshine!!!)
just a little update on stuff. well i’ve gotten my brevet and sword. wearing the brevet on my left chest is pride man. after such a long wait, and a gruelling course, it has come down to the final 3 weeks of joint term.
although i’m going to commission soon, i thinki’ll sort of miss my cadet days, all 1 yr 3 months of it. from tango to air wing, to cmpb and ada wing. i’ve had quite an eventful cadet life.
too much free time these days. now that everything’s over, i think i’ve got too uch free time on my hands. so much so i’ve been doing noting but gym and sports the past few days. so unlike the mistral lifestyle. a little weird actually. well, when good things come i shouldn’t complain.
toby passed away on the 21st opf april 09 at the age of 6. this entry is dedicated to him.
when we first got him when he was just a lil pup, i didn’t really like him. he pee-ed on my lap when i carried him in the car. that was 6 whole years ago. he grew 20kg from then to the familiar fat dog everybody grew to know. but about a year ago he was diagnosed with epilepsy and has been dealing with the occasional fits since then. a few days ago, he had a very long hard fit and his will finally gave and he passed away. the whole family misses him.
i only take consolation in that he no longer has to deal with the tiring and painful seizures and that his passing was painless. he’s now in heaven eating all the chicken bones he loved so much as a dog and enjoying himself sleeping away.
when the british decided that it’d be cool to clone a sheep, i guess the folks over at dubai decided camels were a better choice. now they’re going to clone camels for racing. what the?
DH just ended this week, one word, shag. but also very disappointing. i expected myself to perform better than how i did and i was missed out on a lot of minor details just because i was tired. i guess shag really cannot think. but oh well, at least it’s over, and if there’s a round 2 bring it on, i’ve got the power behind me. sarah called me to tell me the most unbelievable thing this morning at 0430 just when i went to bed after a night of mahjong. “ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZ”. thanks babe, you kept me awake for the next 5 hours.
i saw this really wierd looking alarm clock. it was in a shape of a Rubik cube. it’s not a clock, just an alarm clock. so basically, you can’t read the time off the clock, you can only set it to ring in how many how many hours time. and then you mess the cube up and the damn thing won’t shut up until you either picha it with a hammer or solve the cube.(honestly i think i’d probably just smash it) and this clock cost USD 250. WOAH.
this was supposed to be quite hot in a really old’ 70s kinda way, then jonny had to ruin it dancing it. with it playing in the background. to whoever it was who took the video, PLEASE FACEBOOK IT!!!!
