yohoho... finally graduated from BMT! but haiz... never got to be in the passing out parade... all because of my stupid sore eyes... now my room is occupied by all these army stuff... on the floor and on my desk... wonder wat my posting would be... would be sian if i kanna sispec... going back to tt little island at the eastern part of singapore...
haiz... my sore eyes are really taking a long time to recover... so troublesome... there's still discharge from the eyes, so i have to wipe my eyes from time to time... and when i wake up in the morning, i can't open my eyes cos the discharge have hardened and stuck my eyelid hair to the eyebag area... then i have to slowly clear away the hardened yellow discharge...
missed the 24km march the other dae cos of my sore eyes... feeling really sian now, thinking about having to go drag back my stuff to tekong in the alibaba bag... think i'll just act blur if they never call me up and haha... geng the 24km march...
still not sure wat i want to study... and it's like only 4 more days to make up my mind... maybe i should just follow wat my 3 times senior evelyn tan did and study maths at nus... just in case u caught no ball as to wa ti was saying... i actually went to the same primary school, secondary school and junior college as evelyn tan through some kinda sheer coincidence... so she's 3 times my senior... or however u want to put it...
aint even clear about how this whole uni thing works... wat the hell is this credit system? u have to earn them to graduate or to attend some of the courses if i'm not wrong... then wat about the lengeth of this courses? i can't seem to find them at the uni websites at all... wth??? i seriously think tt this is one of the decisions made with the least available infomation...
went out with tty and bra yesterdae... tty commented tt how nice it would be to have a gf... yeah... but how to maintain a relationship while u r in NS? it's not easy lor... guess we just have to remain emotionally lonely until we get the hell out of this thing called the army and breath fresh air again, returning back to our books and start chio-ing girls...
wonder when tty will give the teddy bears away... maybe never... just like the keychain tt i've kept in my drawer for 3 years... guess it'll never get the chance to be given away...

check out: www.homestarrunner.com (Sunday Times) an interestingly done website... very interactive and lots of things to explore...
hmmm... it's soooooooo quiet ard here for quite some time liao... haiz... think tt nobody would listen to a stupid guy babbling away about mundane things... aniway, bradon and tty have been lazy in blogging too... as usual, let's see wat happened the past week...
the grenade throw was alright... but too bad i didn't get it to go anywhere near the target... haiz... if not can get the nite off... quite a memorable experience though...
had IPPT on tues... wasn't really in the correct mood tt dae... sorta gave up once i knew i couldn't get silver since i onli did 7 pull-ups... never mind... it''ll onli be a matter of time b4 i get tt elusive silver...
SOC test was on wed... decided to just whack through the whole course and not come back for RT during the block leave... guess my effort pulled off... managed to pass by 4 secs... lol... not a bad timing... considering tt i shaved off 1min 6 secs from my previous timing...
thurs... heard news tt some stupid robbers landed on the tiny island called pulau tekong... must have been a joke... of all places... aniway, tt was gd... gave us some additional admin time...
came back home on fri feeling feverish, with a slight bout of flu... sianz... well, things didn't end there... discovered tt my com was getting sick too... no sound is coming out from my speakers... or sorta... things are slowly beginning to act weird... hopefully it doesn't get any worse too soon and please no... i dun wan to format my drive... ahhhhhhhhh... tt CANNOT HAPPEN!!!
aside from tt... POP is on this thurs!!! woohoo!!!!!!!!! i'm gonna be a private soon!!! no more damn recruit... muahaha!!!!!!!!!

yawn... this week has been a tiring one... wait... everyday is tiring... wat am i talking about? i mean sleep-wise... haiz... had only 4 hrs of sleep on wed nite, 3 hrs on thurs and 5 hrs on fri... ah!!! my precious sleeping time ah!!! how come the range take so long to finish?!?!?! grrrr... grumble grumble grumble...
monday was a crazy day... it rained almost all day and all nite... to think tt i completed 16km in FBO in the rain... undisputably one of the most nuts things tt i've ever done... anyway, my bunk looked more or less like a rubbish dump the day be4 we did our area cleaning and prepared for book out...
wonder wat the actual live grenade throw would be like on monday... one thing i noe for sure... the sound is v loud... perhaps so loud tt the earplugs is pretty much redundant... but the throwing should be fun... provided tt no cockster let the grenade slip out of his hand and start to endanger everyone's lifes...
think i gtg for now... late liao and i haven bathed yet... think about tml's early book in also sian... *shakes head*... but nv mind! 2 more wks only... nah... strictly speaking only 1 1/2 more wks to POP! yeah!!! POP O POP!!!

Lets start from Friday morning in Tekong camp:
Had IPPT test trial, sian man.... Got ingrown toe nail on my right toe, which was painful... Still i went to carry on taking the IPPT cos if i fall out of the test, there will be RT(remedial training) this sunday... So in the end, i endured and passed the got damn test. Yeah!!!!!!
Den, shagged, i booked out and had a Bandito Pockett Lunch at KFC with songluck. After which, i headed straight home to shower and change into some decent civilian clothings. As i was tired from the IPPT, the moment i had my shower, i felt like staying at home and not going to school to collect my results. What is more, i was rather worried abt my results, and it made me all the more wanted to stay put at home.
The official time for the results collection was 2.30pm, but i left home at 2.30pm cos i dun want to go there and listen to my principal's lengthy speech nor do i want to noe abt the school's performance in the A's.
I reached there abt 3 and my heart was thumping like mad. I kept thinking that i would be seeing Ds or Cs or even Es on my results slip cos i have never really done well in my prelims. In addition, i personally feel the A's were quite difficult.
In the new school auditorium(NYJC just completed its new school compound recently), i saw many familiar faces: some are my platoon mates, others were my class mates. Quite a lot of them have gotten their results. Some looked happy, while others looked gloomy and this made me even more uncomfortable.
When i walked towards my CT tutor's table stacked with the results slip, my heart was beating so abnormally fast that i almost got heart attack and became and OOC (Out of course) cadet.
Den my tutor saw me, she smiled and said to me:Brandon, not bad!!! and when i took the slip from her, i was so happy that i almost got OOC too!!!!!!! HaHAAHA!!! 2A's, 1B 1C and 3 for GP!!!!!!!!!! So happy cos i get to see As in my results!!!!
Heaved a sigh of relief...... Alas!!! All the fear and worry is over... now i can concentrate better on my army training.... Now i can pray to my grandma and assured her that her dream of me getting to U has finally come true... Hope she will rest in peace.......

ok... just received feedback from my friend tt i'm complaining too much on my blog... or rather it's tt i'm whining too much... hmmm.... reasonable enough... point taken... hehe... but tt doesn't mean i'm gonna stop talking about things the way i do... after all i'm just typing down wat ever comes to my mind...
this week was a relatively slack week... tt is if i exclude tuesday... a day of hell... wat with stand by universe followed by stand by duffel bag and to wrap it up, a stand by bed... guess this week we did the most number of stand bys... also had a stand by rifle and stand by area later on in the week...
must have lost count on the number of push ups tt we did on tues... maybe 150? didn't think the punishment tt dae really achieved the desired results... guess my platoon will remain pretty fragmented even after we POP... as the chinese saying goes... a leopard never change its spots... there'll always be ppl who sabotage the whole platoon...
well... As are out... was surprised when i saw all Bs on the result slip as my civics tutor handed it to me... B for maths? my heart sank for a moment... but B for phy and esp chem? *raises eyebrow... the standard must be pretty low... for me to get a B for chem when i didn't do 44 marks of questions for the essays? hmmm... B3 for GP... nothing to comment there...
a number of my friends did pretty well... was relieved and happy to see tt she got 6 distinctions... could see tt she was over the moon when she got the news... went to congratulate her on her results... the feeling of seeing her after ~2 months seemed more like tt between friends... ordinary friends... guess she'll be able to get a decent scholarship after all and pull it through uni... i noe she'll be able to do it...
never had a greater sense of insecurity and uncertainty like now... no where near to knowing wat i really want in life or for any matter, wat i want to study for my course, wat job i wanna do in the future, wat i want in my love life... the feeling of no one listening to me sorts of pop up more prominently to me in army... i'm lacking something... and i'm lacking a lot of it... care and concern... love...
floating ard in this big sea of life...
