What a Week..

25th November 2007

this week seems to pass very the slowly..been yearning to leave camp since Mondae sey..heh..anyway, here's a glimpse..

there was this training that we had to go through that made all of us cry..yes, cry like a baby sey..heh..eh, nolah, not being punished or anything until we couldn't endure..but it's more like how we could control the pain..heh..mcm sama kan?..ahakz..okie-okie..well, basically we had to wear this 2 piece suit with gloves, fully-rubbered boots and a face mask..after that we were brought into a chamber..ahah, I think you guys can agak what's next..heh..the chamber was filled with tear gas..wapiang eh, bueh tahan ar..heh..once inside, I could feel my eyes started to tear and my nose was like running and running..we were held in there for about 10 minutes, doing funny exercises..heh..that was one experience I wouldn't forget..

next up was route marches back-2-back..sounds normal right?..but this time it's at a faster pace..with our FBO, we had to fast march for 4 and 5km non-stop..wow!..for me, I could feel the pain on my legs..it was realy a test of the mind..like people alwaes say, it's 'mind over body' or is it 'mind over matter'..ahakz..

guess what?..what?..I'm now officially a CORPORAL!..wuhuuuu..

I'm left with 1 more week and then finish liao..well, most probably I'll be posted to ASLC which is an advance course after BSLC..that will be another 11 weeks..haiz..

as for my weekend, yesterdae I meet up with her at our usual place..tue pun sekejap ajer..haiz..this weekend she very busy..well, I guess I have to bare with it..heh..

just now I went to a friend's wedding..here is a pic of the couple..so sweet..

I was surprised when I got to know that his wife was someone I knew, Sis Afifah..don't they both look lovely in purple?..

anyway, I came with Fiza, Saqinah, Qayyah, Asrul and Ishak..soon after Mardhiah and Wanis joined..they were friends from NYP and TP by the way..it was like a reunion dinner sey, only difference was it was in the afternoon..like duh!..okie-okie..once there, we met up with friends from SAFF, too many to mention..heh..

being a forgetful person as usual, didn't had a chance to take alot of pics due to the poor quality pics that can be taken by using a camera phone..heh..

eh, I forgot to mention something..see, how forgetful I am..*smacks forehead* anyway, I had a terrible flu since morning..non-stop sey..got 2 daes MC..can imagine how irritated I was with my nose..heh..

one thing I like about the wedding was it was a simple one; no DJ, no stage, simple setting..I guess that's the way it should be ar..tak kecoh-kecoh sangat..heh..I think I wanna have my wedding like that..heh..

after a while, I saw someone familiar..it was Ust Ali, an Ust from Peradaus who taught me before and also he recently got married..I was surprised again, his wife was someone I knew, Sis Farihin..haiz..so many people I knew getting married..when will it be my turn?..hmmm..

now, need time to rest and ponder..

peace outz!..

Pumped Up..

18th November 2007

todae I felt abit lazy to wake up but luckily she woke me up..heh..after subuh I got myself ready, wearing sandals this time, for my second jogging session with her..

while jogging, I didn't realise we were jogging at a faster pace..that's good in a way that there is progression taking place..eventhough I was so used to running more than 2.4km, I had to keep a slower tempo for her..if not she couldn't have kept up..heh..in overall she did better this time..wal hamdulillah..

after cooling down, we did some resistance/endurance whatever you call it training..we really sweat alot sey..I myself have not been doing such exercises besides the physical trainings I do in camp..fiyuh, rabak sey berpeluh..heh..

soon after the strenuous exercises, we felt hungry..heh..biasalah kan, saper tak lapar sey pas exercise..ahakz..so we went to makan prata at Sun Plaza..I couldn't really see what's on the menu cause I forgotten to bring my specs so I just ordered egg prata..she ordered 2 and I ordered 4..heh..I guess that's me, I can eat alot but able to maintain my figure..cewah!..ahakz..after that we went to buy more food but this time for our family ar..what you guys were thinking?..heh..

later in the afternoon I went out with my family to IKEA @ Tampines..went there just to survey for some stuff..guess what I bought for myself?..guess lah..heh..okie-okie, I bought an office tray for my study table..why I bought that cause my table is full of papers and letters..so had to tidy up abit..heh..

now it's already night time I have to get myself ready to book in..cianz..heh..it really feels troublesome to book in on a sundae night..well, what to do..

before I make my leave, wanna ask if anyone who is kind enough to pass me some psp games..I got no games in my psp..ahakz..if possible send me via email ar..jzkllh khair..

peace outz!..

Hmm..

17th November 2007

will I be there for her till the end?..hmm..

peace outz!..

POP Lor!..

17th November 2007

I didn't expect this week to end so very the quickly cause I had 3 major activities/events straight in a row..WOW, what a deal!..heh..

Mondae was a bit relaxed but we had my SOC trial test and guess what?..what?..i cleared the course but didn't managed to meet the timing to pass..ahakz..

Tuesdae plak, it was the real thing, I mean the real SOC test ar..I was really motivated that dae cause those who fail need to stay back on Saturdae for corrective training..heh..so I did my best and guess what?..what?..I passed..wuppieeee!..just on the dot..heh..

after the test we had a navigation test called the 'Wandere', which was located at Lower Mandai..the whole dae we basically find a few check points, shade the carvings and make our way back to the starting point..sounds easy hah!..wait till you try..heh..

Wednesdae to Fridae was my last outfield camp which was at Tekong, my old 'home' where we grew up..heh..

from the name of the camp, 'Grand Slam', it sounds really terok and seram sey..heh..but the funny thing was it wasn't what I thought it would be..heh..alot of trainees said that the same camp that they went through was very tough but for me it was the most gerek camp out of the 3..heh..the only thing that most of us found it tough was the physical endurance ar..we just had to implement what we had learn during the first 2 outfield camps..overall rating, 3 popcorns..ahakz..seriously fun ar..heh..

for now on, we abit relaxed cause I left 2 more weeks to complete the course..so most of us are already in the POP mood..ahakz..

peace outz!..

This Week..

10th November 2007

you guys might be wondering how I spent my week right?..so here goes..

5-7th Nov:

I had my 2nd field camp at Lim Chu Kang area there..Lim Chu Kang?..not scary ar?..nolah, not at all..heh..

this time around it was much better from the 1st field camp cause I was already immune to the environment..heh..anywaez, it was fun yet exhausting ar..

the most memorable experience was during our 2nd night..guess what happened?..what?..it rained heavily..yes, heavily, down pour, whatever you call it ar..heh..we didn't know what to do so me and my buddy covered our barang-barang, set and lay down, hugging ourselves..ahakz..all of us slept in the open without any cover..that happened around 3am and dragged till our reveille timing..brrrrrrr..

7th Nov:

booked out around evening cause the next dae is a PH..yeay!..

8th Nov:

guess what I did in the early morning?..what?..I went jogging with her..wakakaka..just felt like encouraging and motivating her cause she wanna loose some mass..heh..hope that helped..*winkz*

basically, besides jogging, I spent the whole dae with my family..merayap betol sey kitorang..heh..1st we went to beach road for lunch and also I had a few things to buy at army market, then went to Sultan Mosque for prayer and finally went to Novena Square..heh..

booked in at night..so sianz..

9th Nov:

had our section live firing at Safti the whole dae..what can I say, GEREEEEK!..heh..shot real rounds..but what a waste cause my M203 alwaez giving me IA..haiz..imagine remedying your weapon at every bound..what the!..well, nevermind..ahakz..

booked out that night and went home straight, which wasn't what I usually do..heh..YOU know I know..

10th Nov:

todae nothing much happened..we planned to go out but change of plans..heh..

instead I lepakz at Muttaqin till Maghrib before my family fetch me for dinner..heh..


as you can see, my weekly routine is so mundane..so much time spent in camp than with family and friends..heh..I so miss my normal before-I-enter-NS life..ahakz..oh well..

next week will be another jam packed, full of dirt and mud week..ahakz..

peace outz!..

A Hungry Man is an Angry Man..

4th November 2007

"Anybody can become angry, that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way, that is not within everybody's power, that is not easy.." (by Aristotle)

I just need to learn how to control my temper..

peace outz!..

NYPMSN Jalan Rayer..

4th November 2007

yesterdae I went out with NYPMSN for their Jalan-Jalan Rayer..but too bad I couldn't stay till the end..

like usual, I was late..heh..

when I reached Admiralty, I tought everyone would be there by then..heh..anywae, I actually wanted to give a surprise to the rest cause in the first place I didn't inform them that I were to join them..but alahai, I met Amy in the train..ahakz..spoil ar..heh..

anywae, I was glad to see new faces eventhough not many turned up ar..and I thought more of the seniors were there but only me and Mar came..heh..

we kicked off to the first house at about 11++..as usual, I brought an empty stomach..heh..where there is jalan rayer, there will be good food..ahakz..the following was what I ate;

first house, I ate 2 rounds of mee soto and kueh-kueh, especially my favourite, kueh tart..heh..

second house, this is the best..heh..I ate 3 rounds of macaroni lasagne..sooodap gileeer sey!..

third house, I didn't get what was the name of the dish but it was mee with black gravy, I think its kuah kicap, and some side dish..hmm, something different..and not forgetting my favourite kueh, lots of them..heh..

forth and last house, which was my house, didn't eat cause had to entertain the guest..heh..

by then, my tummy was already bulging..ahakz..sometimes I wonder where does all the energy, protein blah3 goes to..I am like eating so much but I am still this size..heh..walhamdulillah, I like it..ahakz..okie-okie, enough about food..heh..

anywae, I got to noe from one of the sisters that they finished visiting the last house at around 12am..confirm kecoh sey..lucky for Huda, the last house was hers..heh..

too bad for me I couldn't spent the rest of the dae with them..haiz..looking forward for the next outing..ahakz..
