u know when they give u a half day off. work till 12.30 ( fine maybe it was just 5h before we gotta go for the battalion dinner), u think u got so much tym to do the stuff u need to do... BUT i found out thats utterly rubbish. at first i was thinking how much tym did u need to register for driving lessons and collect ur a level cert then go home and put down ur stuff and head to safra jurong haha? 2h? mayb 3h max? yea rite... din expect the queue at ssdc to be so freaking long... waited for like an hr plus to get the pdl and ltr to reg... btw i tink the lessons are so gonna burn a hole in my pocket. 25 x 80bucks = 2k O.0... at least i got till mid october to start full gear, so before that must start saving...

yea after that long reg, it was like 3.30 alr... then i straight away rushed to ny via circle line. first time i took it haha. the bishan interchange look just as huge as the one at the airport haha. ok, its been open for so long alr, i know a bit sua gu... anw the train seems to b flooded with only ny and rj ppl all the way haha. hmm when i went to ny, it felt so strange. like a foreign place alr which i have nv been before. no, its not that the place changed a lot... i din get to walk arnd due to the tight schedule but i din see much changes anw... 9 months away from sch and it makes u a stranger when a yr ago its like ur 2nd home.

ok then last of all was ytd's battalion dinner. had fun with the rp section throughout the night, their performances were also quite attention grabbing too lol. got one part was quite funny. involved 3 err babes lap dancing with some of the "volunteers" from the floor to the music of wondergirls-nobody. and then there is this magician show that involved quick change of costumes and some other illusions. well the entire night was quite nice (:

as for the pics, gotta wait till cheng yi uploads it on facebook

grr dunno whats wrong with the whole blogger system and my internet... so cant put up the photos. ah heck its all on facebook haha. anyway ... ive finally POP lo! from SCT rudi ang to 3SG rudi ang haha. got posted to semabawang camp ie 1 tpt battalion as an mp spec. i wld say the job scope is seriously err... mundane? meaningless? or just to put it plainly its boring. im basically paid to sit in the guard room from 730-6 just to watch over the rps when they need to draw ammo and send ammo, check arms and at times do a bit of work here and there. thats considered the bright side since i haven really taken up full responsibilities yet. on the downside, this camp is messed up. ppl coming in and out like free, lack of manpower both rp wise and spec wise hence we gotta do loads of sk... then every single small issue is brought up to the mp's to do ie camp pass issueing, car parking, pt for the rp etc...

i have utterly no idea how much my brain will rot over the nxt yr haha.

oh yea, i finally went to take and pass my BTT. now its to find 2.5k or so just for driving lessons in the school or to find a private tutor. man i def need to provide more tuition to support my driving lessons. haha.

tmr half day! battalion dinner at 530, so we are released early (: can finally collect the a level cert which is lying in the office for ages haha...

err... im 20? and 3 days shy of a 3SG...

first and foremost, a great THANK YOU for all the sms and well wishes on my 20th birthday. seriously, it really made my day. otherwise, it can be considered one of the dullest birthdays i had lol. srly. its like those years when my birthday was during my exam period. oh wells, at least we managed to get to go out to northpoint for nights out/ ojt. irony that i cant go home even though its so close. lol.

ok anw now that im 20, i srsly feel old haha. there is a big starting digit 2 in front... no more 1 :(

lolol enough nonsense. yep, so im 3 days away from POP-ing. finally after 7 months of being a trainee, we are finally going to b a full fledge junior commander. yea posting is also out. im going to sembawang camp with a job working hours of 730-1800h, leaving me to be free to do what i wanna do for the rest of my ns liability. which brings me to the nxt point of giving tuition haha (:

tmr will be my first tuition assignment. teaching science to a p4 china student who came into SG only 6 mths ago. challenging thing is the language barrier and his understanding... 15% for p4 sci seems quite a feat to overcome lol. nvm we'll see how tmr eh.

so many things that i wanna do now. learn to play a guitar, train for SCM, learn driving, teach tuition esp econs or maybe maths. haha. anything seems poss now (:

ok really tired now. goodnite! looking forward to tmr's gathering at timbre @substation.

Every Avenue - Think of You Later (Empty Room) Music Video

This might be my last chance,
So maybe I should take it.
I just hope your listening,
To everything I’m saying.
I miss the long drives, the car rides,
The bad fights, the good times.
The way you make me feel
will never leave my mind.

Think of you later in my empty room,
Where I, I will fall asleep alone.
Think of you later in my empty room,
Where I, I will fall asleep alone.

So, quit your crying
And wipe the tears from your eyes.
‘Cause this is “see you later,”
I’m not into goodbyes.
Watch the brake lights
as I leave your drive-way,
The warm nights, will stay beside me,
No matter where I go! (no matter where i go)

Think of you later in my empty room,
Where I, I will fall asleep alone.
Think of you later in my empty room,
Where I, I will fall asleep alone.

tdy is totally one of those days where u can say " u've gotta be kidding me... " . on the way back home after booking out, i took the wrong bus zzz. instead of taking the usual 169, i took 969. so at first i was just 15min away from home, then the next thing u know it, i was all the way up a highway with no stops till the end .... which leads to tampines. blame it on my usual habit of either playing with my ipod games or sleeping on the bus even during short trips, missed the stops just before the expressway, din realise i was even on the wrong bus till i felt that the trip was way too long and looked up to find myself entering SLE... can u believe it, i was lucky my grp booked out way earlier than the DB (detention barrack not dragonboat lol) attachment yet i caught the wrong bus and end up reaching home bout the same time as i wld if i booked out ltr.

bah, bout the last couple of days, it was basically on job training at the DB and MPEU (mp enforcement unit) where we were attached to the units for exposure sake. firstly for DB, all i can say is that its claustrophobic. cages everywhere and the overpowering smell of soap mixed with sweat and whatever crap... it gives u the feeling of an animal in the zoo and also the feeling of a cemetry ie. i felt like dying in there within half an hr of entering lol. lets not talk bout the detainees eh... with some staying up to 2yrs. and JW 3yr3mths... anything goes. it was a real eye opener for people like us who have proper homes and families.

as for MPEU, tdy was the first day, where we raided sispec and some ammo supply base. sispec ppl quite sad lah, tdy POP, pack finish everything, then gotta empty all their stuff to be checked... no wonder some ppl hate MPs lol. cant elaborate more in here. but the week was otherwise quite interesting (:

1 more week till we all POP lo! to become 3SG haha. anyone interested in coming? camp's at yew tee btw (:
