the sound of waves,
lapping the shore.
just like the songs you used to sing.
the gentle breeze,
caressing my face.
reminds me of you.
i see the sunset,
with your head on my shoulders.
your hand in mine,
we would have been so happy.
together.

Navy Attachment

mhhhm. today we were posted to the navy part of SAF. as per normal, started off with a series of talks, punctuated by teabreaks, a specialty of SAF =P actually it started off with many glitches. like the sound system didnt really work etc. and the outcast was kinda gloomy actually. cos after all the glitches, with the big-shots face turning black and everything, it was as if the whole thing would be a major screwup.

but fortunately, everything changed for the better once we were OUT of the compound into the ships. first we checked out this stealth frigate. coolio stuff. lots of things to see hear touch feel smell etc. =) what an eye opener. just in case i kana sued or sthing, i shant go into the details. i dun wanna be brought into prison at such a young age, nono. then we visisted another ship. it was parked outside the naval base, so we had to take an FCU, fast craft unit, out of the naval base into the ship.

on our way there, three small boats with navy guys stormed the ship, in a simulation to show us how they round up terrorists or gawd noes what lah. then they came aboard and made us put our hands on our heads while squatting down. ack. me being someone who doesnt comply really much to instructions, just laughed. the result, dragged off the FCU and dumped onto the small boat with another of my attachment mate, and we sat the small boat for a nice ride out into the sea. kinda fun for something naughty that i did. oh well. it paid off. it was the only two of us who got to sit on the fast small boat. .muahahaha. terribly fun!! loved every single minute of it.

then we boarded the bigger ship parked outside through the back door. literally. the small ship just penetrated the stern of the bigger ship and released us, the load, into the gaping cavity of its loading dock. =) i'm sure a certain someone would be excited at reading this. =) then it was tour around the boat, lunch and a series of talks, rounded off by another storming of the ship. then we finally got back to shore.

well the best part was that the tradition of a goodie bag a day still held. they should change SAF's motto to a goodie bag a day, keeps attachment students happy and gay. =X lol. got thumbdrive, towel, a picture that we took on board the ship, processed in the mere hours while we were on board, and waterbottle etc. i SO love the navvyy.

we shall engage each other in NAVEL warfare someday. wahahah.

yay.. i spent tonite designing some fencing t-shirt logos. lets see which ones the nicest. got a total of 4 different ones. kinda similar. but yea.. around there larh.


this was the first i designed.. =P RAFFLES.


decided to change abit of the words... dunno if RAFFLES or FENCING looked better.


with a sword and without the wavy thing...



with the sword and wavy thing.

if i'm free, i'll try to design another one.. then i'll try to set up a poll or sthing to see what ppl's responses are. yay!

mindef attachment

Day 1: first day was a major screwup. we were SUPPOSED to be there by 9am, but due to the fact that i forgot there was a possible traffic jam along bishan and orchard cos its the main roads that ppl take to work. and it was at around 7 something 8am. so i guess. ack. traffic jam = slow down = late. reached at 930am. cos it was the first time there, kinda embarrassing and everything.. but settled in quickly i suppose. =)

forgot to mention. on the bus 132, when i was eating my breakfast, cos i wasnt concentrating very much on eating, a shrill cry of horror came from the woman sitting next to me, while sticking her finger in the direction of my bread, and uttered cockroach. lo and behold, there was a disgusting cockroach on my bread and on further inspection. the wall of the bus was infested with many of its dark brown counterparts. utterly disgusting. nearly puked. argh.

did nothing much. series of not-so-interesting talks. the only interesting thing was that i think i wore something real horrid. oversized fathers shirt. hence. looked prolly like shit. but nvm. made up for it on the second day. nthing impt, only that we won some lame game at the end and i got some SAF army knife thing.. those can open open one. mmhmm.

oh and got to noe one of the captains in the SAF. hes called jeremy i think. will be sticking with us throughout the whole 8 days. i think hes quite a nice guy. easy going and nice to talk to. but next time i see him in the army.. maybe he'll be different. but isnt it cool when u noe all the mindef guys before u GET into the army. wahahah. =P

so we just went around looking at various depts in mindef, tho i must admit, other than the MINDEF scholarship dept, the rest are rather useless. like the DXO thing. i couldnt really figure out what they do actually. the women there just seem to not make coherent sense while making weird commments punctuated with nonsensical giggling. and its mindef. lol.

it was quite funny. at the SAF recruitment centre. there were these people representing the army, navy and airforce talking to us abt having a career in it. so basically everyone was trying to sell their dept. funny thing was that the army had these hulking guys and WOAH. u see all the muscles and everything. whereas the other depts had like smaller sized man. and there were the WEASOs, sidekick of fighter pilots, who will fire weapons while the pilots drive. cool huh.

well that day ended with a quote.. i was saying that most of the army people have that crow something when they smile. at the side of their eyes. so mr mok being VERY intelligent, blurted out, crows eyes. =X god bless his soul.

==============

Day 2: ok. a SLIGHTLY more interesting day. i was EARLY. i woke up at a blardy 6.15am cos i didnt wanna be late and there was nobody at home, since wednesday, to call me up, so i had to set my own alarm clock. had a hard time waking up tho.. =X i reached at 730am. record time. only one person was earlier than me, the HC debater. he was reading a novel. =X lol. so we went to visit SAFTI MI.

started off with another talk by Colonel Lim, who happens to be the grandson of Lim Bo Seng. =X he was a HULKING huge guy, but sounded rather like a BFG, big frenly giant. quite cool huh. =) so he gave a talk abt SAFTI MI and how LKY thought of this Institute of Excellence idea to train up fit guys for the army etc etc. mhhm. kinda insightful. after 3 days, i've gotten to noe the SAF so much better. =)

and not forgetting that they're splurging on us. everyday we get to bring home goodie bags and the things inside are quite nice. plus we get fed like pigs. after every other talk is either tea break or lunch. =X lol. its like they've got a mission to fatten us up and i'm not complaining, i NEED to grow fat. =) taxpayers money has been thrown in my face since pri 4, cos of the gep programme. i'm thankful for everything so far. *winks*

went touring around places like their tower, which was wayyyy high. like my house liddat. can see many parts of singapore. and its blardy windy up there. a good place to die too.. =P then went to the ceremonial hall. we got to touch the sceptre and the scimitar.. then the big shot there made the poor Military Police guy standing outside the door polish it after we touched it. the sword was cool.. lol. it was HUGE and quite shiny. at least before we touched it.

that concluded the day. nothing much.

==============

Day 3: by far the most exciting day. today, serena woke up with a stiff neck. wahahahaha. SOO SAD. then she couldnt join us on the trip. so we took the bus down to pasir laba camp. and started off the day with a talk by SAF recruitment ppl. i.e. the damn muscular guy from the Army recruitment centre was talking. and as per normal. the chairs were comfy, the lights were out when they showed the video. and the world was dozing offffff. zzz. fighting the Z monster. lol.

then the more interesting part came. live firing!! we were taught how to hold the SAR21 and we got to shoot at a target 100m away. so cool rite!! then have to wear the helmet and ear plugs and everything. its like.. at first was trembling and everything. but after a few rounds, it was SOOO shiok. just couldnt get my hands off it. but we only got 5 bullets. =( and i hit the target 2/5 times.. bleh. bad marksman. shud start training my fencing. lol.

it was terribly fun. then after that, we had light strike vehicle sit. apparently not many ppl get to SIT in such a vehicle. that things has power suspension system lah. my god. it can go up a hill thats damn steep and full of rocks pebbles and everything, but it just went over it like nothing liddat. then apparently one went too fast and overturned. and nothing happened to the people inside OR the vehicle. lol. must have been quite an experience.

lunch with the big shots, talked abit about his airforce career etc. then we moved on to logistics. a lengthy presentation that made ppl fight Z monsters again. =X lol. but we tasted army rations and they tasted QUITE ok. but that was cos the food was heated. maybe it tastes horrid cold. but got diff flavours, like got chicken curry rice and pasta and noodles and even dessert!! some corn thingy that tasted rather nice.

yup. today was great fun. never thought i could fire a weapon.. I WANNA SHOOOT AGAIN!!! haiz. and i made many new frens today! so many. and i decided to add them on my msn. wahahah. ok so bo liao rite. but yea. then lester started painting xun yu's face. heh. it was like face paint. quite cool. but i think its gonna feel disgusting when u go into the jungle next time. ack.

thats all for tonite. update soon.

i've got a digicam! yea!!! start satisfying my ever zi lian tendencies nowwww. =P its MINEEEEE. my precioussss.. hha.. mOK! my digicam is better than YOURS. 7.2 megapixels. next time i take pics with u, all those pimples on YOUR face are gonna show and i'll make them super big. so u cannot not notice them. evil aint i. cutting hair soon... i want a new look.

a specially written poem by ben. its really wonderful. thanks. expressed what i couldnt. =P

=============

there was a time
the world was still my paradise;
when morning broke and light flooded into my
realm of bliss.
Then, a tempest stirred and took my haven,
and tossed me into an infernal
i never wanted to know;
and i find it hard to control
the elements of my own fate;
the choices and decisions i have no
say to make.

bored. poetic streak takes over.

===============

a vacuum
devoid, the void
a torrid love so passionate
swirling vortex of pain and pleasure
a lustful glance at love
moaning for fulfilled desires
sucked dry to the bone
a transient solace
empty, emptied, emptier.

next week is gonna be a "fun" week. PW PW PW OP OP OP. i do hope that my op team mates DO NOT screw up. nearly killed one a few days ago during our second OP dry run when he changed the damned background picture into something else, hence editting the slides overall image and everything. never try to be funny. NEVER. not in front of me. esp when it concerns my grades.. i learnt that from someone. the hard way. when i was hollered at for doing something i couldnt really rmb. i think it was a chinese project. i screwd up something, so he was SUPER pissed. and in the end, when we re-did it, we went into the newspapers. cool huh. recollections of my wonderful secondary school life which will always be in my mind...

i'm fine now. everything's blown over... or at least i hope. i'll try. i will.

OOOOOHH... I LOVE YOU HUNNY BUNNY. i absolutely LOVED threesome. sigh. all my days of acting are such fond memories to me. i still remember the first one, Sing To The Dawn, where i was the damned abbot with no hair and i had to sing some chanting song. lol. Then it was Bayley House's Dramafeste 2004, where i was Ishak, representing Singapore. Then there was Dramafeste 2005, representing MedFac as the LAMB. evil lamb. shib just told me that i still remind her of a lamb. LOL. Then Daisy Pulls It Off, as the scatterbrain monsieur. and Now, the last play of the year, as SOMEONE. =) ahahaha.

thanks loads for all those people who came down to support and watch THREESOME. give yourself a pat on the back. well i hope u loved it. heres a list of NICE people who bothered to give me flowers. and of course i shall thank them in no order of merit.

1. Rui and Wei (purple fill-in-the-blanks, cos i dunno what they're called, and i dun think u noe too. =D)
2. Aloysius (who supposedly only gave $2)
3. Hulin (birds of paradise... i think)
4. Adeline, Joy, Christine and Samantha (exquisite purple flower! issit a rose? =P)
5. Charissa (despite being so kiam, she got me a sunflower. thx!)
6. Trier (who wasnt there, but was SOOO nice and sweet to get me an uber cute cat. a fellow soft toy lover... ahhhhh~~~)

yup. thats all for threesome. back to my dota now.

yesterday was so fun. we went out to celebrate halloweeeen! and like jerrine said, it was the first time in 17 years of existence i'm celebrating halloween. or maybe like mok said, times have changed. people dun use to celebrate halloween. like for the past 16 years, when people said halloweeen, i wouldnt even noe when it was. and i wouldnt have given two hoots abt it. but hey, the first time i tried, it was GREAT! soo funn.

what we did was, after rehearsal we decided to dress up. at first i brought the orientation black cloth, thinking i could just wear a toga and walk up and down orchard road. well. i didnt realise it was HALLOWEEN, as in scary day. so a greek person in a black toga doesnt in ANY way look horrific i suppose. hence i decided to change. rummaged thru the RP costumes.. and conjured up a cheena set of clothes that could fit me. and since it was ALL about scaring people, i became a chinese vampire, as opposed to jerrine, who was a victorian french vampire. so cool rite?

so went to toilet. and to think we didnt even use makeup for our rehearsal YESTERDAY, and here i am smothering powder to look white and ghostly, which was meant to be waikits makeup. but very fun. after dressing up in that, then they lined my eyes and gave like the i've got eyebags look. to complete it all, on our way to the mrt, i decided to spout chinese and gave myself a name, xiao dong. and i was a eunuch in some palace. then the joke came. cos u noe like eunuchs when they do something wrong, they would spout a "nu2 cai2 gai1 si3", but oweing to the fact that i WAS already dead, i couldnt die again.. wad a joke.

did lotsa crazy stuff, took lots of pictures. damn fun.. even one on a tree, they commented damn scary. and some malay/indian guy walking past us who was 1.9m+ tall came and told me, you know, you very scary and walked off. i just shouted a thanks back.. hahahaha. =P

i'm tired. of you and you and you and you and you etc. just buzz off. i've got better things to do. so i'm off to bed.. nites!
