2 weeks since i last updated? BMT la.. last week booked out for one night only.. so a bit tired. This week i have 2 nights cuz of May Day! That's y i'm blogging now.

I have been consistently keeping a journal while in camp.. but i dun feel like typing all those shit out now. Let me juz start wif Thurs..

On Thurs. had Range. Went to the rifle range from 8am until 2am. Like wad de hell right?! But they brought a TV and a DVD PLAYER there.. haha! BMT?! Yea.. wif a whole list of movies... I think they played a total of 6 movies throughout the time there. Taxi.. MI.. scooby.. etc. Wif a small stall behind us selling tidbits. BMT?! Haha! This is life! Had our meals there, snacked, movies.. and OCCASSIONAL trips to shoot a few rounds of magazines. That's it. But when we gt back we were damn tired. Next day still had to wake up at 0530 loh..

Now Fri.. I reported sick. So din go to range. This means i have to redo range someday. But tt's not impt. I slept throughout the day in my bunk! =D. Woke up to eat, and then went back to sleep again. I thought i had a lot a lot of sleep. But i turned out to be sleepy still the next day. haizz.. i'm like a pig. My bunk mates say i have sleeping disorder.. i sleep too much. Too much? Nah.. juz trying to get my daily 9hrs.. haha!

Sat.. i;m out! Since i gt out, my schedule has been packed. And i'm so happy!! haha!

Sat i reached home at about 530pm.. den went out for dinner wif my family as usual. Den sun morn kicked ball wif the Falcon Pl 4 ppl, followed by lunch at my grandmum's place, and den met up wif jun vin bit loo and ray to go to Settlers Cafe. Played Citadel and Dragon's Den or sth like tt. That place is ok la.. can go back there.. But like wad vin said.. eat first and juz go there for the board games. I even gt the membership card.. for free la! I want to try the Haunted hse game louiza recommended, and almost every table were asking for it.. the betrayal sth sth..

Tmr booking back in in the evening.. but the day most prob going out wif louiza..

BMT is shit la.. like chalet loh.. haha! When i'm free and ready to type the whole chunk of jornal out here den u ppl would know about my life in there.. haha..

It's only 7.5 wks more.. or 54 days until i POP. Hmm.. 54.. tt no sounds like the no of days to WC2006! Haha! Ok, from 54 days, i take away about 14, which leaves 40. Why 14? Cuz of sat sun and PHs.. more or less 14. That leaves 40. So it's a month and 10 days of life in Pulau Tekong b4 i POP. Whyi want BMT to end faster? Not cuz if the training, ppl, food etc.. but cuz of one vv simple 4 letter word. HAIR. I want my hair back. I want my hair!!

My vocal course ppl juz updated me.. tt they're organizing a karaoke session! So looking forward to tt. Haha! Cuz we're all trained in the basics of singing.. whistles.. haha!

As i am writing this, i am hiding under my blanket with a torch. Cuz it's lights out. I still awnt to write cuz i gt things to say.

The biggest impact of my life.. and BMT happened today. Haircut!! I would avoid mirrors and cams as much as possible! So different from when i have hair! The feel is soo different too! No more swinging back of fringe! The weight is no longer there! After the haircut, i never looked at the mirror. Until we had to be at attention in front of a glass panel where i saw my silhouette . At tt pt i felt like crying. Wo zhe me jian ren?!

Throughout the years, my outlook appearance plated a vv large part in my confidence! Say i wear big tees and shorts to orchard.. i wun have confidence either. Same as with my hair! I am like so saddened la! How am i going to face ppl?

Anyway today was a rather fine day. 10 Combact PT drills in the morning with lots of pushups and then we practically sat the whole day. Orientation still i guess..

Ppl say one loses weight in the army? Bullshit! If i ate everything they gave, i wud definitely gain weight! Sooo much carbos la! And i have been wasting food today. =D. Haha! But i dunno how others view me. Cuz i feel stared and diao-ed at whenever i waste food. Like breakfast. i wasted a slice of bread, lunch i wasted 2/3 of my rice, and dinner i wasted 1/2 of the rice. SO much food loh! And even night snack also which i decided to skip today.

I wonder how tmr will be. Going to the range to see the firing.

I am soo looking forward to Thurs when i can book out la! I miss the life outside already.

What i want to do on Fri? Ask louiza out to ship for a cap? haha!! But i'd only ask on thues night cuz it's of least priority. Sms-ed the whole of last night la! The only entertainment I CAN PROVIDE in there (winks at louiza, if u're reading.. haha!)

For the last 10min or so.. i have been feeling my head. And i am depressed! Today esp when i knocked into the cupboard juz now. Usually my hair would warn me before i touch it. And even if i knocked it, my hair would reduce the pain!

I'm not used to not tilting my head against the direction of the win direction to avoid messing my hair up!

I'm not used to scratching my head and feeling skin and also the hair pricking my head. Without hair, i cannot act cute!! Haha! Cannot look pitiful.. kelian.. haha! I feel so gay now.

I'm depressed cuz i wan HAIR!

I'm supposed to be preparing my stuff now.. but ithink i've gt them prepared.. at least for wad i need later.

I'm on the verge of breaking down already. On 2 occasions.. one, when i look at my old photos wth the nice smile, and hair, haha.. and two, during meal times. They give so much food la! I'm afraid of putting on weight! Call me gay or wadsoever but not having hair is already a big dent in my confidence. Putting on weight would totally crush my confidence! Without confidence, i would go back to the sec 1,2 days.. i think i need to talk to someone about this. I dun wan to break down! Luckily I have this diary to bitch on and also in 3 days time, on thurs eve, i would book out. I think to me sleeping when booking out if of the least priority. In fact, i think socialising and letting out air is utmost priority.

Now i have no idea wad to do. Everyone seems so busy packing and arranging their stuff.. except me! I'm lost la.. though i still smile and talk and laugh to ppl aroudn me, i still dun really know their names yet.

And i muz say again. i feel vv depressed when i see photos of my old self. I think i would never accept my hairstyle now. Even putting on my helmet hurts my scalp!

Oh ya.. this morning i felt so lost! WHen i woke up, rushed through my chores, and came out of the toilet, it's time to fall in and i haven't gotten ready yet! I put on myshoes.. and luckily there's Richard who helped me pack my cupboard. Otherwise i wud take longer. BUT! On my way down, i realised i forgot to change my shirt and i have to rush back up! The worse thing is tt i gt to the wrong room on the wrong floow! I felt really lost! Even as i finally found my way down!

I juz scratched my head, and i feel like crying yet again.. haizzzz

Yet another free time. Had free time in the morning and then after the hot and tiring rife range, followed my dinner and now. If only everyday would be like today, den BMT would be ok. Haha.. i'm onyl afraid of broad jump in IPPT. Tmr's IPPT Categorization test leh.. Broad kimp.. haizz.. 216 is all i need la!

No, it is not lights out yet! Today lights out time is 2300 & Reveille, however u spell it, is 0600. 1/2 hr later. Cuz we finished later today..

Today is another slack day. Had 2km run which din feel like it! Haha! Followed by a looong series of lectures & then the Rifle Presentation Ceremony. The M-16 is like so heavy la!

Today's food is one of the better ones.. but it's still not gd.. to me. Haha! I'm a food connoiseur, again howeevr u spell it. I can only commend their chicken rendang. And talking about food, i think i've put on weight. So i'm controlling my diet. THey give too much carbo which is fattening! Or maybe it's the hair!

And on the hair, i have NEVER felt rain drops on my scalp UNTIL today! Once again, it's depressing.

Each time even if sth has dropped on my head, i feel against touching it. I can't bear to feel my head! Cant! haizz

I'm back.. for a day only.. haha.. Sian..

I have no mood to blog now la.. BUT! I've been writing a jornal during my time in tekong. So maybe when i'm really free and have the time i would perhaps type it in here...

All my bitching is already written down...

But to emphasize a pt further, i HATE my hair now.. or the lack off.. I juz cant get used to it la!

Miss having all the time in the world.. and also a bit of her.. haha.....

In like 14 hours time i would be on the bus on the was to the ferry terminal...

4 months passed juz like tt after the As. Have I made full use of all these time i had? Well.. i think i have. Not exactly full but 80% at the very least!

From 1st Dec until 8 April. So many things changed in my life. Really.... If i had enlisted on 8 Dec, things would have been very very diferent. That's why i thank LCC =).

After the As, i tried to get a job.. went for interviews around Singapore. Even bought formal clothes for an interview. I tried for tuition jobs too.. But in the end i ended up in a job previously held by LCC at Tekka Mall. Ok job, with ok pay, and ok workload. But it lasted 6 weeks. The 3rd wk of Feb until now i have been jobless and juz staying at home. Surprisingly, i DID not spend day after day playing boring FM on the com. I watched soooooo many HK serials. It's one serial per week!

Let me recall.. Always Ready, Trimming Success, Pillow Case of Mystery, Under the Canopy of Love, Jiu Dian Feng Yun, Xin Hua Fang. But for Xin Hua Fang i only watched until eps8. Cuz i have to enlist and cant complete it! Rmb me saying about Always Ready being the best? I changed it to Under the Canopy of Love. It's juz a simple love story but it's vv nice. Maybe it's cuz Nikki is prettier than Charmaine. Haha! Now i want to catch Ren Sheng Ma Xi Tuan. It looks nice, and louiza said it's nice too! Sure to borrow it during my break!

Now back to wad i did after As. I signed up for Hapkido and a Vocal Course. I'm so proud of myself cuz i went to call up, enquire, and to go down and apply for them all by myself without asking anyone to go wif me! Haha! I've completed the Hapkido SERT Basic course, and also the Vocal Basic Course. I'm so looking forward to the Intermediate vocal course la! I'm going for lessons when i book out. Hopefully i'm able to bookout on Fris more often!

But most importantly. 1 name starting with L. We became so much closer in these 4 months compared to the 2 years! It's in the life journal i have written on my com.. From TM to Suntec to PS to River Hong Bao to Pasir Ris Park to Mount Faber cum Sentosa, and it ended. Den from Ice Skating, and tmr's TM. And yst, we talked on the phone from like 0215 to 0500. Haha! First time on the phone for more than 30 seconds, and more den 30s it was. I sound like i'm writing an essay.. Anyway, i was always worried that i had nothing to say. But finally i can say tt the barrier had totally been broken! =)

I wun be blogging until like 2 weeks later? A new chapter in my life would unfold.....

Before i end.. some photos...

My Vocal Classmates!! =)
