Countdown Clock by Zoodu.com



The next post will only be after I have ORD'ed...
HAHA!

Sigh, time passes so slowly, but yet so quickly...
I still remember typing most of the posts here before NS happened. So many years have already passed by, soon we'll all be old and then dead.

Last book in to Tekong! Hopefully...

Coughing my ass off, been coughing a long time...

Played FF13 over the book out, its quite fun, but I have notably lower interest in games now. Freaky... Ns does weird things to a guy.

7th Book Out

Worried about getting re-coursed because of the long status I received due to my knee.
Fucked up.

Also worried about drumming, I haven't practiced in a long time, sigh, feeling uncertain about my passion for drumming. Don't feel like drumming during book outs cos I just wanna relax. Don't want drums to be just another fling like all my other hobbies.
A very expensive fling -____-'"

BMT ending soon, next week will be the last.
Made some friends and met some people who I would never associate myself with under any normal circumstances.
Overall, BMT was not exactly a good experience for me, plus it only marks the beginning of a long and wasted 22 months of my life.

20 months to go, hoping to get a 8-5 vocation and not get re-coursed...

6th book out

Wasn't given physio in tekong, think they thought it wasn't necessary...

Mon-Wed: [RMJ+LL]

Thurs: Fell out of IPPT, knee gave way during shuttle run and I fell, knee hurts like a bitch. Saw the MO, he thinks its patellar tendinitis, same as the specialist's diagnosis.

Friday: [RMJ+LL] again. Fuck.

Next week tuesday is IPPT retest, 16km route march on thurs, and SOC on friday.
My status only lasts till sunday.
WTF, there is no way my knee will be able to handle all that crap with so little recovery time. Next week is gonna be a repeat of this week all over again.

Think happy thoughts... Think happy thoughts...

Can't keep the tempo. Can't feel the melodies. Life is bleak.

Every week feels like a month.
It feels like I've been in NS for years.
Every book out passes like a dream.
It feels like just a day ago when we could be together daily.

The wound of separation is always fresh.
The memories of days before are faded.
The yearning for a lost lifestyle is futile.

Days are longer.
Doors are locked.

5th Book Out...

Only left with IPPT, 16 and 24 km march, and SOC...
I need to run 30 secs faster and do 2 more pull ups. Sigh.
Not looking forward to route marches as usual, bloody painful on my knees...

Sit test was sickening, I hate being out in the field, its filthy...
And its annoying to see people wayang during the test, especially when most of the wayang ppl in my detail are IPPT failures, whats the point...

Saw a specialist today for my knee pain, got some anti-inflammatory medicine and a knee strap, he said I could OOT if I wanted, but its like 3 weeks left...
So I got to go to physiotherapy in tekong when i book in next week.

GP: A

Econs: B

The only regret I have is Physics, got B for my best subject -.-

Now I don't know if I should apply for a Chem or Phy related course...
Hmmm~

Sigh, dilemma...

3rd book out... T___T

Had a chance to shoot a m16 yesterday, it looks better than the sar21, lighter too...

My right knee is giving me hell, and keeping it in the knee guard throughout field camp gave it very bad heat rash...
Almost halfway done with bmt, just have to make sure i don't injure my knee too badly and get oot and have to redo all this CRAP again.

sigh, 4th book out will only be half a day book out. Whats the point...

Ns sucks balls.

2nd book out

Aching everywhere and freaking sick of feeling constantly exhausted.

After 4km march, my right knee now clicks when extended and it hurts...
Not sure if I should get someone to look at my knee, anyway its only a 1 day book out, no time to see doctor.

4 more days to 8km march to field camp, how the hell is this progressive training...
My knees are gonna POP before I make it to P.O.P -____-

Training to be soldiers~ Fight for our land~
Once in a life~ Two years of our time~
Have you ever wondered~? Why must we suffer~?
Because our nation hates us, and it wants us to be dead to be dead. Yea~!

Looking all around us~ People everywhere~
Children having fun~ While we are being fucked~
Have you ever wondered~? Why must we suffer~?
Because our nation hates us, and it wants us to be dead to be dead. Yea~!

1st book out!

Just back from the first week of NS today, my knees feel like they are gonna explode or something, blisters here and there and aches everywhere...

Can't believe I'm going to lose 2 years of my life suffering this way...

Nine days to ns...

-Didn't continue learning much of the parasite eve song on piano, so I can only play till 1.00...

-Started using my B&W ns phone, typing is a bitch on that piece of crap.

-Finished reading "Handling the Undead", not as nice as I expected, luckily I didn't buy the book...

-Cramming as much anime, movies, comics, manga, and books as I can into my head before ns.

-Not looking forward to ns

New year resolutions, at least until ns comes...

-Learn this song on shitty old keyboard from sis which lacks one octave to play all the parts of the song, will worry abt that when I get to that part...

Progress: Can play up till 0:52 -.-
Just the first bar of double hand thingy, hard to concentrate on both...



Also attempt to learn "river flows in you" by Yiruma.

-Practice my rudiments, bloody double strokes.

-Learn a full song on drums, not just the bits I like...
Learning Stairway to Heaven.

-Go running more often

-Buy a metronome and learn to keep time, maybe gotta wait till CNY cash to buy.

-Resist using colourful language

HOLIDAY PROJECT (2/3)


Say "HI" to parts C and D!

Ben at 10:40 PM

HOLIDAY PROJECT (1/3)

Tadah! The plans for what I'm trying to build this holiday.
Gonna take my time with this one, dun want this to turn out like the exploding amp -.-
Starting by plotting out the dimensions of each piece.
Think there are 12 pieces, I'm only at C now.
9 more to go then I gotta start looking for materials and better tools.
I am not looking forward to finding suitable materials, singapore is probably a DIY-lover's worse nightmare. Hard to find materials and they are expensive.
Bloody rusty hand tools aren't gonna be enough too.

I want a dremel tool for X'mas :D
Kidding, cos they are expensive, wonder why tools are much cheaper overseas.
Maybe cos this little red dot sucks!
