shao dream

Dreamt of Mr Shao yesterday night. (Mr shao was my chinese maths teacher that seen me through my 4 yrs in maris stella). Dreamt that he was very angry and disapppointed with me and was asking me something like "where has your light disappeared to?", in chinese of course. I interpretted that "light" was refering to my zestful and spirited self whom i used to be. Then in the dream, i tried to explain to him but Mr shao refused to listen. I supposed that i'm having this dream was because i am currently writing the chapter on Shao in my book. But really, the zest that i used to have had disappeared and i've been giving numberous reasons for that. Certainly, these reasons should not be considered as an excuse.... REally respect mr shao alot and missed him somehow. Maybe i unconsciously had that dream to tell me how i should be during my sispec life.

first week sispec

The first week of sispec had passed quickly. Time flies when we are having fun. Especially during the first day. During the very first day itself, met with my ex buddy and found out that he was in delta company too. Hence got chance to be buddy again. It was only later we found out that i'm in platoon 3 and he in 1.
I was greeted by a long flight of stairs and that made me wonder how could those platoon3 people survive their bmtc. Went up and show my sect com. He really reminded me of Buddha and the impression he gave me was that he was a ke ai ke qing and ren ci person. In fact, soon i realised that most commanders in Delta are very nice and and approachable people.

Nevertheless we (section4) were greeted by series of unfortunate events during the first week itself. Firstly, the handle of our door came off and the only way for us to open the door was to drop a boots through the hole above the door so that it would land and push the handle on the other side of the door. Section 3 had their own problem of breaking their bunk key while section 1 had no electricity.

Secondly, I was appointed to be guard duty on the third day. Certainly knowing that i need to do extra duty out of the blue was indeed a shock, however, it turned out to be quite fun and exciting. My partner (samuel lee minghui) and i halted serveral workers and made them panicked. We had encountered wildboar near the altar and dogs sleeping in the middle of bball court. Best of all, they provided us with FrEE night snacks!

Thirdly, it was the unfortunate incident of my new found bunk mate, 3406 Png Ziyun. It was just 3 hrs before our first book out that we did the SOC. Poor Ziyun did not jump that ramp properly and end up causing damage on his leg(s). 100% out of course le and it was just the 4th day. And it was just 2 more days to his birthday. How miserable....I was just getting to know him better ... that was not the only case, i heard that other company (such as bravo) also had such incident on the second day

Aiyoh~! aiyoh~!.. sispec is sure happening. Though the pace of sispec and things are really in my liking, i really hope that our people do not get any serious injury...

K Boxing session

a) Oh my, today went for a k boxing session. Quite memorable as it was the only k box session i ever had that we actually took video and pics. It was so remarkable how yc's singing improved since the last time though his habit of interrupting never change. And i guess i shld move on as well. Personally, i think that i'm the only guy who insist on singing song from female singers. Undoubtedly there is a limit to it no matter how much effort put in. I guess there is really a need for me to sing songs from male singers if i want to improve. Haiz... i'll move on..

b) posting was out, end up in sispec. Was disgusted at first for it is tekong once again. First thing first, went to find out where the others were posted, especially those mentioned in the previous post. At least two of those below will be in sispec. Of couse many would have told me to remove what i've posted below, shouldn;t say bad things about others ma. But i feel that these are how i feel about them, there is no need for me to be hypocritical. Fortunately, many of my friends entered sispec also, chow jc, lin yc, neo wk...
Nevertheless, i really hope that those friends who I've aquainted during the 3 months will be happy with what is installed for them. Most importantly, do rmb to say "hi" and wave if we happen to meet on the streets, its so disgusting if anyone pretend not to see each other.

c) Tml I'll be back to tekong. In sispec, i think that i'll be much comfortable then in bmt. People wouldnt need to masquerade themself to look good so that they can go commander school anymore. Basically, I'm tired to see how people wayang and pretend to be nice. (for those who are in my contacts in msn, u all shld know what my nick meant by name). Really hope i can meet nicer people in sispec, a better buddy if possible...haha! i'm so greedy.

End of BMTC ~! + series of miserable people

It has been more then a week since i've passed out from bmtc. Was very lz to write blog this week for i myself has serveral essays to write. Nevertheless, got inspired by someone and hence decided to create a post now.

Since now we have passed out, and i don't think i'll be seeing those people again (unless i wanted to). I might as well openly gossip those people who made our life more miserable.

Actually, section1 is made up of very nice people. I really enjoyed talking to them. Probably most of them are poly people whom they feel that there issant a need for them to compete with the rest to go commander school. However, there is this Vincent (1106 ) who really made a blackmark in this section.

Certainly, since he and myself are both from the same CCA in the past, his capabilities in the army is as good as I. Nevertheless, Vincent is those type of people who wants to show the whole how good he is and tries to get the credit. Personally, i don't like his attitude and character. Its disgustingly disgusting to try to push others down just to show how good he is. Can still rmb the time when we were in drill squad, he nv failed to make noise throughout the session . Moreover, it was fairly obvious he was trying his best to pick out Sgt Abilah's mistakes to make himself better than the commanders... how rude. .. If vincent is reading this, my advice to him is to zip up, trouble really comes from the mouth.


NExt will be LAm Owen, (1204 ). This is one guy we all should be careful of. For this type of people like to 'bu dong zhuang dong'. It is so irritating for owen to correct others while he himself is not doing it right. Owen is those wayang type,.... have a lot of initiative whenever the commander is around. (at this point, i think brian will think that i'm saying that was because he pushed me several times during road march but i will say its not cos of that) But really, for those who are sharp, it will be noticable that 90% of the time he scold or push others for being slow in the road march , the commanders is at observable range? And when settling admin stuff he will act very pro and act friendly also for the sake of showing to the top.... when can he make our life less miserable...

Wee Theng (1305). Few words to describe him... clever, competitive, arrogan, complex, tenacious. Personally, I would rather use the word "tenacious" to describe myself for i am "tenacious tengda". But, wee theng himself is as worthy to be crowned with that word as myself. He is those typical type who is aiming for OCS. My first impression of him was still ok, probably of his face and name. I have a friend who look 95% like him, his name is seng hong. Then there is this other friend whose name is Wee Theng as well. Both of which are nice and friendly people. Fortuately, my judgement is not clouded by my first impression.

Lastly, it will be mark(1409). Basically, both mark and wee theng share many similarities, hence watever is stated for mark can be pasted on wt. Mark is a very sharp person, who never fails to try to get more info about others so that he knows his competitors well. He has a dash of vincent's pushing people down and big mouth habits as well. hmm.. how shld i phrase it... During the course of bmtc, i masqueraded. I hid serveral skills and past abt myself partly becos i want to slack by saying "i don't know how to do" and also don't want those "competitive" people to be on my guard. Mark was perhaps the first who manage to dig out those facts. Nonetheless, the thing abt him that made him to make us miserable was him ordering us to do this and that.... he enjoys doing so. Its like why cant he do it himself? and cant he see that others are doing something also? typical er xin da bian.... I can still rmb during the last day itself, the well tempered Lian Hao couldnt stand him and shouted at him in the end.

For those above, they are those who can suck off the last reminding energy from the body making us miserable and low spirited. Certainly, in life there will certainly be such people around. It will be best if they can change for the better. However, some behaviour is already deep rooted....especially at this stage it is very difficult for them to change also.... Lets pray we will not have so much miserable people when we get posted....

went back to nj

haha.
It had been quite sometime since my last book out. Finally able to book out to collect results.
Just stepped into the school, saw Jenny and friends. Apparantly, jenny was the first one who recognised its me. Spoke for awhile and found out that fmaths 100% pass while gp is 97.2%. Was so worried that i'm the 2.8 %. *panick*

Went into the hall was expecting to see Tham, but saw Neo instead...

Eventually, the results not too good but not too bad, so i was not happy nor sad. Just very glad that my gp passed. Strangely, the dream that i had about mr yee (my yr 1 gp tutor) came true....

(just for my own reference, i borrowed $10 from qing ren then to buy college annual.... ...)
