Alright! first exit of my not-so-amazing-chalet! Back to freedom and civilisation at last!
Okay I got only 5 minutes to blog about two weeks of tekong life....
uh...okay its sunny, and abit hotter there den in mainland.
you will have planes flying over the island every 10 minutes due to the close proximity to changi airport.
regarding training...well, i cant really say much as they banned us blogging about stuff as it may leak some secrets =.=. oh well all i can say is that training is like almost everyday, everyday will have to run at least three rounds, and thats only like a warm-up to the whole day. den have to do pull up before every meal =.= imagine alr so tired and hungry, and ur very friendly commander will command you to do the exercises zz.
i got my first "wife"! haha. she's light (2.8kg), but can be a bit oily at times. have to bring her around to do marches and stuff, and can strip her apart to clean her inner parts =x have to do loads of drills with her too! haha.
okay la i think thats all for now...HOPEFULLY i will be back at home blogging during the labour day holiday!

Pre-Ns
One more day before entering the "chalet". Haha from now on I will use that word to describe in case any searches link to my blog.
actually today is counted as my last day as a civilian. from what i heard from my friends, apparently once i go into the chalet, i counted as a "lower" class resident in the country. amazing huh, considering that i will be defending the country and fighting with my life, yet have a lower rank of treatment.
finally started packing today. it just remind me how unprepared i am, and how dependent i am on my mum to remind me of loads of stuff. from today onwards, i MUST have a more independent mentality. anw during packing, i actually wondered for a second -
how come the pack list didn't include a comb? DUN LAUGH okay, be empthatic!
i thought about quite a lot of things that im gonna face inside..i think i should be fit enough for the training, but will definitely suck in the out-field stuff considering that i dun have much experience. i definitely hope that i will meet good comrades, those that have the same goal as me, those that will pull you up when you fall down (instead of stepping you). all in all, i hope for a good experience, after all, after this precious 3 months inside, it will be quite boring as it will be almost like a five-day work week, except that you have much little pay as compared to outside. i know that its gonna be hard, as nothing will ever come smoothly, it will require much effort on my side.
I want to contribute and be part of the experience, I may lose some but I will defintely gain much more.
I want to approach everything I meet with a positive way!

5 days to army..mixed feelings I guess. I havent been thinking about it for much, mainly because of distractions such as my psp games, uni applications and thinking about how to deco my new room. I just hope I will meet nice mates inside, otherwise army life will be so screwed. Hair? can grow another time I guess =p.
Went to view my new house for the first time today. Supposedly its to help my parents decide on what kind of furniture they want, whether they want to tear down the old tilings, tear down cabinets etc etc. I somehow feel that my dad have a high instinct of "save if possible" feeling. Sigh he has always been like that, which can get quite irritating at times. It resulted in a disagreement betweeen my dad and my sis in front of the current flat owner. Haiz. Before that went to IMM and IKEA to look for furnitures. Again I face plenty of obstacles trying to convince my dad about what furniture I want...I really wonder what is he thinking.
The past five months after A levels could have been more meaningful.... In a way Im glad that I have spent half of it working, gaining some kinda of work experience and another view of society. Im also happy that I got to teach a bunch of kids, which I find that its not easy and that learning and teaching is two completely different things. But den..I could have learn driving (which i have been quite lazy to register), I could have planned to go overseas or something, which wld be quite interesting. Im also realised I played too much games during the holidays sigh =.= Lately I have been going to fren's hse like 4 times a week zz. Oh well what's done is done. All I can do now is to make sure I have all my stuff, find out more about army life, get more fit...
