I be doing guard duty the week after the next. I'm doing it on friday and the subsequent sunday. Damn, who planned these duties? Guard duty in camp was supposed to be quite a lobo affair. But after that 9/11 incident, my camp got rather perked up and my RSM got really rather perked up, and now we guards' duties got super perked up. U know, whatever you read on the papers in the morning will always affect us, MAN of SAF, in some way or another. Like the 9/11 attack, i was studying for my maths C test that night, then suddenly the world went kaboom, and the world turns so gloomy. But over the singapore side, i'm just another student (then), studying for my test the next day, who happened to experience the saddest event of the year. The next thing I know, when I got conscripted, this 9/11 thingy affects me real greatly.

I was just wondering, if someone was to read my blog and would like to contact me, here's my email: my email.

Some time back, I was really close to my brother. We go for soccer sessions every weekend, on the basketball court near my flat. We trashed every single team on sight, and that's every team. We scolded each other for silly mistakes and applauded whenever someone scored those magnificent goals which defies any newtonian mechanics. After sports, sometimes we tracked like 1 or 2 miles to the central where they sell Playstation games. Its not that we can't afford the bus ride or anything, just for the experience! We walked on snail pace, and talk to each other on every subject we can think of, all under the starlit sky.
Then I went to JC, in which the curriculum was like 8 to 5 everyday? I seldom talk to my bro, since i was like dead tired everyday i returned from school. I wasn't that much of a scholar, wouldn't read or study like i should be, but somehow managed to get rather good results.. U know, i tink i was equipped with some special skills or something. Whenever lectures or tutorials goes, i was somehow able to filter out those important parts, ignoring the rest and meanwhile switching off my mind and let it go day-dreaming, all lectures-long. And somehow these important parts stayed ever so resident in my memory. Heck, that's why i seldom studied and get good results. Anyway, my brother was really a whole lot smarter than me. He got into a much better JC than I am, got better PSLE and O level results than i am. I tink he scored like 8 points for Os, and was the sixth or something position in his school. I was short of 1 A1 to become a top student, but hey, I never did study anyway. Right now that's what it all matters to me. Right now. Now it's no longer about me and my brother. Sometime ago, my brother and soccer was a large part of my life. Now it's NS (not that i wanted..), Playstation2, and my dreams of ORD soon. To those people who haven't got into NS, stop dreaming of getting into some fucking "hey-i-tink-that's-pretty-prestigious-vocation" *cough* commandos *cough* units. Tell the truth, sometimes a bring a normal man might be just all that is to survive in NS. And those storemen wannabes, i look down on you group of people, fuck you, and have a good day.
Day 2. Today went to Suntec with Jun min and eng hwa. Eng hwa's brother came along later. He's in AJC too, same as my brother. The IT roadshow was disappointing-- It was just like a walk in Sim Lim. Everything you can see there, you can see in Sim Lim, including those foul faced secondary school students working part time to give out the phamlets or brochures at the doorway. Anyway we went to that cheer leading competition in tower 2(i think it was tower 2...), and boy was i amazed. I have no idea that the cheerleading standard in singapore was so high, like those chicks in that movie "Bring it on". Bought 2 new games today, Xenosaga and Tenchu. Sorry to Junmin, dinn't give him the money i owe him for the games. Until next time, bro, although next time is a very long time away. It's one year and 3 months to ORD!! Still a long way to go, but i'm half way there. There's no turning back now, cause it's half way there...

Just started this blog... March 14 2003. A new year ahead! A little info about myself first.. I am a NSF, currently serving for the Army of Republic of Singapore. I'm lousyly paid (underpaid and overwork, that is), and people expects me to do everything. I living off a camp in Singapore mainland. 39th Battalion Singapore Combat Engineers. Or 39 SCE in short. I'm in platoon 2, people called me Junjie, JJ for short. I bought a PS2 on 311002, and she had been a big part of my life ever since. We were banging all night long whenever we got the chance :P. Until next time!
