//NS Life//
It's been 10 days since I enlisted.
Lots of people has sms-ed me to wish me luck for NS, and many have asked me how's NS whenever they see me online when I bookout. I'm really touched and it really means a lot to me...but a lot of times, I really don't know how to reply.
To quote from the letter I received from the previous person sleeping in the bed I'm sleeping on now in the bunk "BMT is not as fun as people make it out to be, but it is certainly no hell also."
I mean there would definitely be some shit times in there, like certain times when I can't cope with certain physical training and so on. But there are definitely moments inside that can make my day too, like having more admin time than usual, or when we encourage each other to do more pullups during our free time even though our muscle already aches like mad.
I didn't adapt quite as well as I thought I would initially. I was mentally prepared for a lot of things, like the regimentation of army life, the vulgarities from the commanders and so on. What I didn't expect is how a lack of friends can put a toll on my mind.
I really miss my family and friends in there. I have always coped rather well with home sickness issues whenever I have to leave my home for a extended period of time. But whatever the situation may be, I still had my friends with me. Like in Taiwan, I'm still surrounded by people I know, and even during the home stay, I was very much welcomed by my buddy's family.
That's what I didn't anticipate in NS, at least for the first couple of days. It was rather lonely, and I just can't deal with that very well. What's worse is I usually take a long time to warm up to people, so it feels even worse when I see other people starting to chat around more, getting along better.
I remembered I felt that way back in sec 1 too. It took me weeks to adjust to secondary school life.
And to make matters worse, it's a friggin' 13 week programme. Unlike St John camps or stuff like that, the whole BMT lasts for so long, and it just seems to never end, especially during the first few days.
Right now, I have already booked out twice, and I'm booking in soon. And just like I mentioned it's been 10 days since I enlisted. I'm definitely getting along much much better with my bunkmates and platoon mates right now. That's probably why I was happier the last couple of days. (or maybe it was the thought of booking on Christmas) Whatever it is, I'm just glad that I'm finally starting to get used to NS life.
On a side note, I must say I spent my bookout days rather efficiently. Met up with ever, wilson & xinyi for KBox yesterday from 11 to 2, and went to watch "Alvin & The Chipmunks" with the TIP people after that, followed by watching "National Treasure" with the St John people. Then I went back to meet the TIP people for Christmas countdown.
But I was left with a slight fever, and a sorethroat now a few hours before booking in. I'm not exactly thrilled about it, cause I just feel feverish, with the generalised body aches you get for fever, but my temperature is not above 37.5 degrees, so this means I can't go to see the Medical Officer (MO). So I'm really praying that I will get well really soon.
I just changed my countdown timer on my comp again, now I'm counting down to POP (Passing Out Parade).
77 days 6 hours 20 mins to POP!

Post A Levels
//Post A Levels//
There were lots of things I have been wanting to post here, but since I was out like almost everyday, I can't really find the time, and even if I'm at home, I would rather take that time to slacka and nua instead of blogging.
I mean there are lots of others things to do too, like seletctively throwing away notes and so on.
But with 18 hours, 44 mins and 30 seconds left of freedom before I enlist, I decided that I have to do this. If not I wouldn't have the time or energy to do this even when I book out.
So let's rewind...back to the day A levels ended on 22nd Nov......I know this is going to be boring, but I really want to record all this now, I mean afterall, there'll only be 1 "post-A-lvl" period in your life...
22nd Nov (Thursday)
A levels ended! Watched Stardust with the class. There were like 19 of us, haha, we never had such good attendance for any class activities, except maybe JTS earlier on this year. Stardust was great!
23rd Nov (Friday)
Went running in the morning, and had breakfast together with my parents at this Bedok hawker, which apparently they used to bring me there when I was 2 . Shocking discovery! My mum used to be in a band, and my dad used to go to those beach parties! My aunts (one of them is 60+ now) are frequent clubbers back when they were younger and they would lie to my grandma whenever they go clubbing! That's the kind of stuff you can dig out when you have breakfast with your parents like everyday after A levels.
25th Nov (Sunday)
Did prom shopping with mingwei. Learnt something new that day: do not ever ever shop with lee mingwei alone. But it's not entirely his fault, I mean that's what you get when 2 guys who don't really shop a lot go out shopping together.
26th Nov (Monday)
First Sentosa outing for H4! It started to rain just after we arrived at Siloso beach. We still managed to entertain ourselves by eating grass, doing forward rows, doing star jumps at the Bus terminal there. Went to Palawan beach later on in the afternoon after the rain stopped. Played frisbee...and surprisely...mingwei is the winning factor! Whoever teamed up with him will always win!
We spent a long long time trying to bury ying cheng with him sitting down...to bury him in sand to such a height...it requires a really big base...
Stupid terence with really short hands, I was supposed to be in this photo too, but terence's zi pai skills suck, you can see a bit of my hair though next to mingwei. Speaking of this, Lee Ming Wei, I want the photos from sentosa! Please upload them soon!
Terence tried to make ying cheng a tourist attraction by constantly shouting "5 bucks per photo!" when the tourists came out from Dolphin Lagoon.
27th Nov (Tuesday)
KBox outing with the class! Rebecca and Edmund who don't usually go to Kbox with us came along too! Song of the day has to go to Edmund for his "Phantom of the Opera", where he sung both the girl and guy's part. His "Re Dai Yu Ling" was pretty entertaining too, considering how he can't read the Chinese words.
28th Nov (Wednesday)
Prom shopping again, this time with my mum. Surprisely, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Finally bought my vest at Topman Suntec, with a 20 bucks discount thanks to ying cheng's voucher.
29th Nov (Thursday)
Malaysia trip to see my beloved cousin. I decided to call him Julien Mao from now on. Did some more prom shopping there, bought my shirt at Espirit there...and pants from this shop called Padini I think. Never underestimate the power of aunties! My mum actually managed to "con" the salesperson into giving us a 25% discount voucher! She was just telling that salesperson what a pity it is that I forgot to bring my Espirit card (which I borrowed from ying cheng), and that if I have that card (which gives me 10% discount) I will definitely buy more. And that salesperson just gave her a 25% discount voucher!
Apparently, according to my mum who heard from her friend, sometimes these salesperson will keep these vouchers (cause they will be given vouchers since they are staff) and give them to customers who seem to be inclined to buy a lot (for some shops, they do earn commissions), so as to increase the incentives for them to buy more. So...I got a 25% discount...by doing nothing!
30th Nov to 3rd Dec (Friday to Monday)
Class Chalet! It was really quite fun. We didn't plan anything, and we just ended up doing things on impulse, like going to Escape, which was a totally random idea raised during our breakfast at BK. Really enjoyed the midnight stoning session at the beach too.
The highlight of the chalet for me is probably the mini foodtour that ever, pauline, mitchell and I went on while the rest went for Lan. Speaking of this...Everlyn! I want the photos! We even went to Clarke Quay after the mini foodtour for a walk (and we ended up sitting down by the river...haha). The rushing to Punggol so that we don't miss the last bus to Downtown East was pretty hilarous, especially the part where we played with the doors at Punggol MRT.
Went for the tea session for SPH scholarship on 3rd Dec too. Still comtemplating if I should even apply for it. Saw terence there...and apparently he was really really shocked to see me there, and that I'm even considering for the SPH scholarhsip.
I was really pissed at some of the things he said, well, actually not at the things he said, but I was more upset by the fact that as a close friend for almost 6 years, it seems like his perception of me and who I think I am seems to be very different. I was upset at myself too, for always always being so passive in whatver things I am interested in. Maybe I have been potraying this "image" of myself around them, or they just don't know me well enough, but whatever the case may be, I was kind of upset and at the same time, inspired to be more active in pursuing my interests.
4th Dec (Tuesday)
Prom day itself! I'm not going to forgive myself if I don't blog about this, cause it's like my one and only prom in my life.
It was kind of like A levels all over again! The "preparation" part sucks, cause I really hate shopping, and though I can't wait to get it over and done with because of all the hassles associated, I kind of didn't want to come so soon, cause it's afterall the last Hwa Chong event I'm attending, the last time the whole class will be gathered in one place. I'm rather pleased with myself for keeping within my budget, I didn't think it was possible at first.
I was very glad that the whole class came, and I managed to take photos with every single one of them individually. Or at least I thought I did, till I looked through my prom photos, and I realised I didn't take one with Jason!
The food was average, not really worth the 90 bucks, but I guess food's really secondary on Prom night. I felt so blinded by all the flashlights from the camera.
06S71 at Shangri-La! Lih Hern's not in this photo cause he had to leave early (at 10+) since he's going China. The girls all dressed up really nicely, while the guys were mostly wearing black and white.
Guys of 06S71!
St John photo of those whoe went for Prom! Minghao, somehow mysteriously disappeared from this photo, though he claimed to be there. I really liked this photo, and like ying cheng said, it feels like we all 长大了, especially when compared to those sec 1 sec 2 photos.
H4 photo! I'm kind of glad we stuck to the name H4, instead of some lame suggestions like Pi Sa Dan Ta, if not I would be typing "Pi Sa Dan Ta photo!"instead.
Mingwei and I...worked with him a lot...be it on St John matters, or our Chem project. Thanks for the "hahahahhahahha"-ing. Makes me feel a lot better.
Me and Ying Cheng! Took a lot of free rides from your Dad! And lots of mugging sessions together at Cathay and SRC...thanks!
Me and Terence! Bling Bling! As annoying and irritating as you can be sometimes, I FORGIVE YOU! HAHAHA! But seriously, we all have flaws, and with close friends, we look past and beyond each other's flaws, that's why we (as in the 4 of us) are still friends. You are already in Tekong as I am typing this...but good luck anyway.

Remember this 九份 photo?
九份 redux at Prom!
Me and Nicholas wearing the same vest! I can only say we both have great taste! Hahaha...
5th Dec (Wednesday)
Stayed overnight at Gary's house after prom, and stayed for the whole day there due to the rain. Had quite a fun time playing Munchkins, I was so close to winning...but too bad. Haha. Yahoo Graffiti that night with the class was quite imba, like this one "Tues, $1"...and the answer is.....HOTDOG!
6th Dec (Thursday)
Movies day! Watched "The Golden Compass" with the class in the afternoon, and "The Tattooist" with squadmates at night. Both movies sucked, the company made up for it fortunately. Here are some of the photos for the St John outing that night.
We visited The Concourse to supposedly reminisce, because it will be torn down really soon, and it really does mean something to us, especially the BK there.
Sitting outside BK drinking free Starbucks coffee, my second drink of the day.
Christmas fair at The Concourse.
Photo with Veishen, who went back for Malaysia that night.
7th, 8th, 9th Dec (Friday to Sunday)
Slacking and nuaing at home! Successfully tidy up my room (which actually isn't messy to start with)
10th Dec (Monday)
One last H4 outing before Terence and I enlist. Went PS for Cafe Cartel set lunch. Went on to watch "Mad Detective" after that, which I highly recommend! To sum up the movie, I shall just quote Terence's msn personal msg: "每个人心中都有鬼，那么你心里又有几只?"
This is terence...being himself.
11th Dec (Tuesday)
Went for one last Kbox session with ever and weixin, 3 of us sang for 5 hours, which is really bad for my throat. Refer to the previous entry for a funny incident that happened that day! This is a message to weixin if you are reading...you haven't send me the guy's photo during Prom, and send me the photos we took that day too!
12th Dec (Wednesday)
GP stuff! Not doing GP work of course, but filing up my GP stuff of course. I filed and kept them cause I thought some of those articles and stuff may come in handy in the future, and it feels really bad to throw them all away, when I didn't even read 90%of them.
13th Dec (Thursday)
Malaysia trip again to see Julien Mao! Bought some clothes too, since I anticpate that I won't have time to do CNY shopping next year.
And with that, I'm done with my longest entry ever!!!!

Planets
//Planets//
I promised weixin that I will post this on the blog.
Yesterday, ever, weixin and I went kbox...kind of like a last kbox session before I enlist, and weixin happened to be singing this new song by f.i.r, "第十行星". So and it sparked off this convo between us...(of course I cannot remember the exact the dialouge, this is a rough transcript)
me: hey, now that pluto is not a planet anymore, shouldn't this song be "第九行星"?
weixin: yar lor!
ever: wait, how many planets are there now that pluto is not a planet? 10 right?
me and weixin: ?!?!?!?
weixin: Oh my god ever! It's primary 3 science!!!
me: okay okay, let me test you, what is the planet closest to the sun?
ever: erm...jupiter?
me and weixin: OHMYGOD!
ever: wait wait, that's the smallest planet!!
me and weixin: -_-" *speechless
ever: not the smallest meh?!
I guess I am in no position to laugh at her, since I can't tell what's after S T U V _ .
But you must admit that was pretty funny.

Random
//Random//
I was packing my stuff, in fact I still am, that's why my room is in a state of mess right now at 1.20 am.
I found this list of topics for each subject that I need to mug for A levels, and suddenly I remembered that A level just ended like a few weeks ago. So much time seemed to have passed for some reason.
I have been pretty busy since A lvls ended, I was out almost everyday, with the exception of fri till now, and the 2 days right after A lvls. I was either out doing prom shopping, singing at Kbox, chalet, stayovers, Prom, and the list goes on. I felt like I've done so much in this short amount of time since A levels ended.
I've been to Kbox (which I've been craving for a looong time), I've watched 3 movies, I've been to Malaysia, I've been to Sentosa...I've basically made up for the lack of social life for the past few months.
Actually I've no idea what I'm writing, I was just a bit 'inspired', for the lack of a better word, by that list of topics. I'm not like "Oh I miss mugging so much!" mode, but there's definitely a part of me kind of not adjusted to the total lack of mugging. I'm enjoying life right now, but I find myself, from time to time, thinking about my mugging sessions from the past 2 years. Maybe I don't really miss mugging, I just miss the mugging session itself.
I miss my classmates. I miss my squadmates. Don't know what's wrong with me. Received a sms from mitch wishing me luck for ns...since he will be off to indonesia with some of the class guys, and won't be back until after I enlist.
It feels like official goodbye to my student life. At least right now I still enjoy student meals, student specials, but come 15th Dec, I'm officially no longer a student. It's hard saying goodbye to this life, that I've been living for so long.
I don't think I'm making much sense now, this is really not a good time to blog, not at this kind of time, and with the mess in my room staring at me. Will try to blog about Prom...about the chalet...the food tour..and basically what's been going on in my life for the past few weeks soon.
