Reunited comrades....

Well here we are at another gathering but this time we had a fair turnout of at least 23 people, actually i should say it ws quite a good attendance... The scheduled place that we were goin to dine was apparently sakae, but they had switched it to Siam Kitchen... Well this was my first time dining here and i would say its quite a pleasurable experience with great ambiance. To those who don't know where this place is located, well its near the Fountain of Wealth at Suntec city.

Well the buffet costs $20 which is quite a gd deal i think considering the wide array of food they have and its quite good too... But as for me i just had something off the ala carte menu due the lack of funds currently dwelling in my bank account... Well had fun and hope to see guys again sometime soon... Definately missing you guys.. : ]

I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations to our very own Leon Tan for bringing home a championship trophy at the recently concluded Amateur Boxing Championships.

I think I can speak for those of us who went, that Leon absolutely massacred his poor opponent. Whereas his opponent liked to jump about and used alot of speed, Leon opted for the standard slugger approach, by being steady and calculated. Unleashing really scary hooks lol. Looks all that time shadow boxing in the bunk was put to use. I think by Unanimous decision Leon won.

What else was cool was that Leon's match was probably the most exciting match there (probably cuz we were making a racket lol) with the crowd getting into it. I think everyone freaked out when the opponent hit the ropes and nearly crumpled to the floor. Throughout the event there was not a single knock out, so this was real exciting stuff! Check out my flickr account in my blog for more photos.

P.S: Guitarists in the house, hit me up for a jam session.

Peace,
Nik

Down with Bushy...!

Mr Bushy..???




Well i'm sorry bushy or should i say Sgt Yang JJ.... Well first of all you're one of the most irritating person t0 have around, then u give people names which is irritating, then you always seem to know everything about anything or at least you try to and then you're a fly boy!!!

Dunno whether penning this entry down will get you miffed but who gives a damn?? Or maybe you're actually happy to be the center of attraction cause hey someone's writing about you. Well story has it that Mr Bushy got his 2nd sgt rank rather unceremoniously as it seems. 2nd Sgt Kar yong was suppose to don the rank but apparently it was the last one and it fell into the hands of Mr flyboy, who in turn refused to give up on it. I mean not that i'm envious or anything but what bothers me was the fact that Kar Yong has done so much for the company and what has ^^ done?
Well nothing that i can remember but i do remember what he has not done. Maybe its because people tend to retain memories of ones bad doings instead of his good. Well i shall not comment beyond this issue, not that he was not slated to become a 2nd sgt but he was one for only a month or so... And as a trainer for bravo coy... What the hell??

Well no hard feelings dude but i think you shld have given the rank to him, it may seem like a small thing but it would definately show your maturity as a person to realise that he deserves it on his arm more than you do... I know that probably you would want to flaunt the rank in front of your loved ones but well i shall not say more...

mambo night 23/01/2006


hey isn't this the 4th coy rec room?


feel free to wear singlets, shorts and slippers..


ooh dazzling disco lights...

Officer Commanding...

Well guys through the course of this 2 yr++ we had quite a mixture of characters coming through to manage us. well i'm going through what i remember about this ppl but well my memory ain't too good, and i don't want to torture my tiny little brain here. So heres what i can recollect.....

First of all there was Capt Toh, well he's afine little fella. Wasn't he just like uber nice to us, or was he the wolf in sheeps clothing for we will never know will we. But what i remember is i heard stories of him telling the trainers off for dishing out shit on us (teken). Well the trainers were assholes weren't they...! But i guess it was good for us in some way, right?? Well this OC was like the father figure in the company, always worrying abt our well being and everything. Then there was Capt J, oh boy this guy was like a pain in the ass. Actually i dun remember much abt this dude, only that he wanted a place in the company soccer team. No actually he self declared himself as part of the soccer team, taking a place upfront as the striker... I vaguely remember him taking a lot of shots at goal but don't remember him ever scoring... So did he score? Does anyone remember?

Ohh and of course the infamous Capt C***. Oh this guy was full of it, Yeah full of crap that is..!!
I don't know where the hell he gets all his weird ideas. I guess its the books that he's always preaching about. He could have done so many other things in life and i'd bet that he would be a sucess but why the army? Perhaps an interior designer or an events organiser... He seems so good at all of this, especially with his shlong devouring skills. Well i shall not say more in case i get in to trouble.

Then we had the Gangsta.... Capt whats name.?? Hmmm i can't seem to remember. He had a carefree attitude, didn't give a damn about anything...

He's favourite quote was "3rd and 4th coy one big happy family rite?"

Damn what the hell was his name...?

Then last but not least there was peace loving and the very introvert Capt T. Was he actually our OC or our 2IC. Well i dunno i wasn't there long enough to find out... He always seems to keep to himself... Dun really remember hearing him talking to us.
Well thats all from me.If u have anything to add just post it here or let me know..

P.S : ORD Loh!!!

Unique Experience that is Army

The day that i stepped out of the shadows of a carefree boy into the shadows of adulthood, the very much dreaded day of countless local boys in singapore, enlistment day. Never did i expect to be part of the "elite" Commandos, and i didn't really know what to expect other than the relatively high physical and intellectual requirement. Stories of people being tortured by dunking made me doubt whether I could take the tough training. Whether or not as to i would have to go thorough such similiar ordeals ran through my mind. Upon receiving the enlistment letter i wondered then as i wonder now, where would i be if i had not gone for the vocational assignment...

Anyway here i am now 2 years 3 months later with 41 days to go til i officially close this chapter of my life. This is going to be something which is going to be hard to do, i never thought that i'd be saying this, but now after waiting patiently for what seemed like ages to leave the camp i don't feel like going anywhere. Ha ha, they'd probably have to chase me out. I'm going to miss everything, from my brothers to proibably the dust in the bunk. The pink i/c seems to be within my grasps yet again. Yet now what lays ahead for me i do not know, i guess i'll wait til this fog is lifted.

Life in the army begun on the 10 of dec 2003, it seems like it was only a couple of months ago... I started off in the PTP batch, having not taken the napfa test because of my slothful tendencies. I guess my loafer abilites is what got me into this mess, boy am i talented or what... The trainers seemed super nice, like for the first day. Then they all turned nasssty... They started hissing and spitting fire all over... Arrghhh it was hell and i wasn't suppose to be here. I thought to myself i could take the shit they dished out and made it out by disrupting by passing my ippt test on the 2nd attempt ( i was screwed by the 2IC on my 1st attempt, we were suppose to do 7 chin-ups and i did 6 + 2 of which apparently wasn't counted according to him ) and not having to come back til the BMT batch comes in.

BMT was not any better, this time it was like round 2 in hell. With new recruits coming in, there were more baldies around, and like they say the more the merrier!! I guess the trainers had to do what they did, cause thats the only way to make us tougher both physically and mentally. After bmt we had to go through another phase which was to be much tougher we were now privates. This period of time in my life was one that i found to be very difficult, i was very depressed and found myself giving up more. I didn't want to do anything just wanted out, seeing my mates from the ptp phase falling out one by one til there were very few of us left about 20 or less now. I decided to seek solace in God whom i always turn to whenever i need help, but you see thats the bad thing, i only remember him through tough times... I shall pray more from now on.... I thank god and his angels for protecting me and giving me guidance and pray that they do so til my last breath....
