3 months is a long time, and yet some how it has slipped by so quickly. with the turn of an eye i find myself gazing upon the start of another academic year. Never have i felt this longing this strange lust for the school year to begin. I guess with age come a certain wisdom and lust for knowledge. 3 months without school has been rather.... mild.... I did not imagine it this way really.... Actually a lot has happened . A lot and little at the same time. As it was feared by my close friends, we did stray far from each other this holidays, much like the previous ones but this time we remained in constant contact. The only two constant people i ever really go out with is POH and that irritating Jap girl....NA ( HA GOT YOU THERE EH...... i still love you though....but not as much as i love poh) POH and i have moved to another level in our relationship...... since my parents and family already know of her and have seen her at least once, the improvement was on her side..... Now her close relatives know of me..... well all save for her dad..... but thats a GREAT improvement..... I got another sister too.... and her name is kettle black I put on a show outside MOS which earned me a black eye and a rather "law abiding" foe.... (if you know what i mean...."bang bang") But other than all that i feel that this 3 months have been rather great.... Oh yeah i got to serve my nation too...... i feel so patriotic now......WHERES MY MONEY

ARMOUR
The men of the black beret the least heard of in the singapore military well at least to me when i was a kid. When i received the letter from MINDEF stating that i was to report to KRANJI CAMP to 41 SAR i had absolutely no idea at all what armour was about. Friends told me that i would be a trooper chasing after tanks others told be that i would be carrying additional ammo for the vehicular weapons what-ever i was told. it was not good. However as time passed, the longer that i was in the unit the more i felt proud of belonging to it. There is a strange feeling belonging to armour brings about to a person. A sense of belonging I am sure that this happens to all vocations but it is just special to armour. The most memorable moment in my army life was not ORD, it was this day .....6 months after i enlisted, after 3 months of BMT and 3 months of Trades Course ... We were turned out just before dawn for a mini route march into the training area behind our camp. The beaten dusty rocky route there was lined with candles every few feet. As we marched to our destination we belted army songs cheers and poems at the top of our lungs. The early morning mist and the dark purple sky brought about the very best in us. We marched with our SBO( Skeletal battle order) and our riffles....... our stomaches in and chests out. Each step taken in confidence and pride. When we finally reached our destination, the command to halt was given. We complied as one. The soles of our feet contacting with the ground at the very same time. The BANG was so loud its ghost reverberated through the area. The place as i remember was some-what of a open patch right next to a reservoir of sorts. Peaceful and calming, its beauty brought a tear to my eye. Our CO(commander) gave a speech about our accomplishments........ and then at about the same time as dawn breaking...... our section platoon and company commanders walked through our ranks.... each of them presented us with our prize.......our "right".... a gift that we had bought for ourselves........ A BLACK BERET. We had finally earned the right to don the black beret.... YES we are armored we storm the front-lines we are the first to reach and last to leave. we are the Calvary ...............

I HATE RICH PEOPLE
I do try my best to bring you out i do i hate seeing you like this baby and when i cant do anything about the way you feel when you are in your moods i really wanna just hit myself i feel as if im not good enough not able to provide you the security and the comfort that you need i know that now your really worried about you schooling and believe me i am too i really dont know what to do i am at a lost for words a lost for actions close to tears at times at times totally in tears...... i really wanna help you i do but circumstances prevent me im not born rich like those rich bastards i just make do with what i can ......
My dear friend asked me a favor sometime last week during our IN CAMP TRAINING at SUNGI KEDONG CAMP And being the great friend that i am i promised him that i would do everything within my power to get it done for him. He asked me to his baptism....... Can you imagine that? That he would want me at such a sacred occasion! i was more than happy to oblige him! I mean its a private occasion for a person one where he would want his close friends and people who have made an impact on his life to be next to him and i am honored to be considered by him to be part of this occasion where by he is blessed ... where by he promises his life to christ where by everything is made new for him god bless him man... i just have something to say to him in fact i did sms him this messaged " I wear my cross on my arm, now its your turn to wear yours ..... i hope you wear it together with your heart...... on your sleeve"
NOTICE THE TOWEL HE IS USING.......... ARMY SURPLUS ..... lol
Funny how a friendship that started out on the wrong foot ended up lasting so long.... as i recall...... my very first words to him were screamed at the top of my voice "eh..... you think what..... A - Level big F**K ah?" ..... ....... now i guess i have to take that all back and rephrase it.... so my dear friend kian tiao..... you think UNI big F**K ah.... !!!!!
But wait a min........

A TIME TO SERVE
A few more hours till im off to do my duty a duty that all singaporean males should do (and females too) You can say that it is in some way our birth-right although many of us complain about it right out we're just too bloody shy to admit that we love it! The great outdoors are seductive Just the sense of being in the dense jungle is really something that you have to be there to know what it feels like the freedom that just takes your heart and holds you there the freshness of the morning the feeling of being someone to be reckoned with you see in the army we're all something someone, part of a well programmed killing machine each man has his part and is respect in it and depended on the lives of his soldier brothers are in his hands....... there we have a purpose there our lives , no matter where we come from or what our histories may be, hold meaning.... there we become men
IM so gonna miss my baby

Watched a movie today "the EX" with baby
then it was off to HMV to meet her friend BEN
Then off to meet my brothers
Though i was from a different background from them all but still they treated me like one of their group i know it was not much but i did give wan culture a birthday gift "18" bucks from my own pocket it was after all his birthday yet he treated us like it was our birthday! Baby was very shocked that my bros behaved the way they did coz thugs aint supposed to behave this way well there are roses amongst the thorns thats what i always say
whats important is that baby knows and accepts who i am and that she knows that i will not endanger her or myself and that i will not be stupid enough to leave her out here i will not be stupid enough to go to prison again
Wan said to me today why be so stupid? fights selling drugs cigarettes and all the black market stuff are things of the past! Now its time to live for those who we care about! i know its a cliche coming from him someone whos been in and out of prison so many times already but look at him now he's back with his wife who divorced him he's with his daughters who he loves he's got a stable job working daily coming back from work everyday he's got close friends who love him and whom he loves (me included!) and i think to myself this is the life that i always thought that being a thug was about the LOVE and not the money the kinship and not the fame the bonding and not the glory.....
I shall vanish from active duty into the arms of my friends...
I shall not be one to be absorbed into the world of darkness again
i live i thirst for life!
and i love my baby

Cupid's Chokehold
Ba ba da da Ba ba da da Ba ba da da Ba ba da da Ba ba da da
Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got (ba ba da da) Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
It's been some time since we last spoke This is gonna sound like a bad joke But momma I fell in love again It's safe to say I have a new girlfriend
And I know it sounds so old But cupid got me in a chokehold And I'm afraid I might give in Towel's on the mat, my white flag is wavin'
I mean she even cooks me pancakes And AlkaSeltzer when my tummy aches If that ain't love then I don't know what love is
We even got a secret handshake And she loves the music that my band makes I know I'm young but if I had to choose her or the sun I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun
(ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got (ba ba da da) Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got (ba ba da da) Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
It's been a while since we talked last And I'm tryin' hard not to talk fast But dad I'm finally thinkin' I may have found the one Type of girl that will make you way proud of your son
And I know you heard the last song About the girls that didn't last long But I promise this is on a whole new plane I can tell by the way she says my name (ba ba da da)
I love the way she calls my phone She even got her very own ringtone If that ain't love then I don't know what love is (ba ba da da)
It's gonna be a long drive home But I know as soon as I arrive home And I open the door Take off my coat and throw my bag on the floor She'll be back into my arms once more for sure. Like...
Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got (ba ba da da) Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
She's got a smile that would make the most senile Annoying old man bite his tongue I'm not done She's got eyes comparable to sunrise And it doesn't stop there Man I swear She's got porcelain skin of course she's a ten And now she's even got her own song But movin' on She's got the cutest laugh I ever heard And we can be on the phone for three hours Not sayin' one word And I would still cherish every moment And when I start to build my future she's the main component Call it dumb call it luck call it love or whatever you call it but Everywhere I go I keep her picture in my wallet like you
Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got (ba ba da da) Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
Take a look at my girlfriend She's the only one I got (ba ba da da) Not much of a girlfriend I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)

EEEEEEEEEEEEE YUCKS
Somethings covering the eyes of singaporean producers i came across this somewhere http://ch8.mediacorptv.com/heygorgeous/hunkrating.php?uid=604 i find it really repulsive i am no beauty myself but for heavens sakes i guess that for a television show they should select role models for society / teens (since this is a show for teens) but NO they had to just go for superficial stuff popularity and shit like that making the rich and well known even richer and well known i know that it is after all a beauty show of sorts but at least show some concern about the image that they will project should a bad apple suddenly be cast in the lime light i mean what if some participant happens to be a super psyco mother fucker? what if he turns out to be a fink a cheater a ballsless son of a motherless cow what if he turns out to be a cheater of friends and girlfriends what if he turns out to be a real mother fucking back stabbing son of a nameless animal? now that would be horrible exposure to the young minds.... i mean now that teen idol worship is like so crazy singapore idol finalist are worshipped like gods.... not that its a bad thing but imagine this if a finalist was a frigging drug pusher..... what image would that project to a person who knew? DRUGS IS COOL? so in this case being a self-proclaimed gangster/ thug is cool? i got one thing to say to this linked motherfucker U AINT WALKED A MILE IN MY SHOES U THINK U CAN MAKE IT MOTHER FUCKER U AINT WORTH SHIT IN STREET CRED MAN U AINT NOTHING THAT U CLAIM.... AND IT AINT WORTH A SHIT TRYING TO PROVE U WRONG COZ U'D JUST CALL THE COPS U FUCKING PUSSY
