Hey everyone!
I would like to say big thanks to my blog readers,especially those who are interested and have been giving positive comments to my blogs. After i read the latest comments, i realised that this world is not that ugly anyway. there are still some ppl who appreciate me and share similar thinking with me, though there might be many ppl who will criticise me. I am very thankful of that.
Although i have mentioned that i will close this blog of 4yrs, i will still blog a little of what's happening to me whenever i drop by to view comments. With some people look forward to view my latest entry, I will definitely not disappoint them and here i am!
So far, i have been working in MPS for 1.5months. the first 2 weeks are orientation training programme,followed by start of shift work training attached to a team. After working with my team for some time, i realised that this job,or rather this industry, is not for me. It could be due to the fact that i am not used to intensive fieldwork,which results me covered with sweat at the end of the day. in another words, i am not physically conditioned to work in such environment. Initially, i thought it would be a fun experience working in Jurong Island but i was wrong. I have no idea why i thought of switching to another job (most probably a service job in F&B line), but ever since i was burn by steam trace and also kena muscle infection on my neck (one day MC), i felt i am just not suitable for this job coz this job is physically and mentally too demanding for me.
The only thing that holds me back is the financial problems. what if i had settled for lesser income job? i am afraid that i will go back to the days of "poverty" again when i am penniless until i have to go around borrow $.
However, i am still determined to resign from this job as a field technician. I hope that there will be some people who will support my decision.
Good night and thank u guys for ur time :)

ORD lor!
After staying away from this blogging thingy for so long, i have decided to write this post (probably the last post,i think?) to summarise what i have experienced in my 2 years of NS.
(Ps: this post will most probably be my very final post as I dun think i can commit to blogging regularly like 3 yrs ago,with Facebook being my most often visited website o meet friend and play Restaurant City Games.)
I will be completing my NS (aka ORD) on 14th September 2010 (6weeks from now!) and resume my life as civilian. I am so happy and excited to this big day. =D
After my ORD (operational ready date), I will be working for Mitsui Phenols Singapore (MPS) in Jurong Island as a Process Technician. i am looking forward to leading a much better life as my salary is rather well paid. Hey, u know what? i'll be working with phenol and BPA (Bisphenol-A) most of the time,so it could be a high risk that i will kena burn by phenol...
Before i was enlisted two yrs ago on 15th sept 2008, i was so unsure and worried abt the life in NS as i will be going thru a transition from civilian to military personnel. i wasn't in good shape,so during the 3 months of BMT in P.Tekong, i suffered a lot as the physical and combat training is too tough for mi that i had wanted to give up. i had made a lot of stupid mistakes that made most ppl in my BMT platoon so dislike mi.
After BMT, i move on to SSC @Changi naval base. the 1st 2 weeks of RP course @ Clementi camp was like in heaven when we can book out from camp daily, with plenty of canteen breaks in between lessons. then comes the 10weeks long grueling SSC. the course was much tougher than BMT as everything was so regimental and we were required to attend swim lessons and ability grp runs almost daily. this made mi so physically shack that i wanted to OOC (which i didnt in the end.)
After 10weeks of SSC, i finally graduated on the POC with a conditional pass of IPPT on that day itself. the following week i was posted to Tuas Defence Squadron @ Tuas naval base. we had one week of block leave. after which our OJT starts when we learnt all the land and sea Ops.
Finally, i was posted to TDS Platoon 1. Life was generally good in TDS as the pace was very slow down and we are not treated like trainees anymore. TNB is near to where i live and there's air con bunk to enjoy throughout my service in TDS. Despite that, the vocation is not so good as we had to stay in 7 days throughout to mount duty until the platoon 2 takes over the following week,but thank God that we are still able to take leave or mounting off during mounting.
For me, life in TDS wasn't like a bed of roses as there's too many bad stories about me in camp. I didn't have good relationship with this platoon,not even with my batch mates. though i had committed many stupid mistakes, i should give thanks to God that i didnt get into greater trouble. Despite many troubles i gotten into, i was given 2days confinement for my SAR 21 getting stunned during combat shoots, 1 extra for misplacing my RCK, and 1 SOL(stoppage of leave) for sleeping while on duty. though i was so unpopular in my platoon, i did have some friends who still talk to mi at friendly level.
As my ORD is approaching soon, i hope that i can throw away all the unhappiness i had in TDS platoon 1 behind me and lead a new life afresh after ORD. Let God bless mi,ok?
Oh well, although this is last entry of my blog,i will still come back occasionally to check out the comments(if there's any)... i shall end it here. Take Care and good luck to all readers!
Regards,
Elvin Hayashi
(Always happy and wise! =D)

Is this the kind of life I should lead in the NS?
So far, i have joined TDS BSC platoon 1 for more than 6 months. SSC 20 and 21 have even joined the platoon already. Though the living pace now has slowed down as SSC and BMT training phases are over, life is not getting any better for me in TDS.
Ever since i came to TDS, from OJT until now,i have seemed to have made a lot of enemies instead of new friends. Though its not appropriate for me to mention their names here, given the fact that i have been enduring their nonsense for so long,i have no choice but to vent my frustrations here. I guess this is my only channel to voice out my feelings. So for those who have been very sarcastic to me or spread rumours abt me, dun ever think i'm a pushover just because i keep quiet abt it and that doesnt mean u guys can keep gossipping abt me!!!
Platoon 1 is very well-known for spreading rumours and gossiping. those ppl involving in "bullying" me are: 3SG Joseph (fan)Choy, QQ, Liang Hong,CPL Kristen, Jefter Ang, Jafar,Aaron,Jermyn, Jason Oh, Jason Lim KX, Han Loong,Edmund,Rafiz,Boon Hou,Tian Hui,LCP Chris Torsen the bi,Wilson,Daryl Ho(le),Kwang Wei,Yuxuan,Idrus,Kevin Chew,Shui Yuan aka shui jiao gyoza,Zhen Ye,Nicholas Lee,Weijie,Kynaston, Jun Liang and Azizul...
those names i mentioned, pls listen!!! U think u can manipulate me? Not so easy. I am sure God will judge u by the end of the day for u guys already judging me!
i knew from Zhen Ye and nicholas lee (SSC20) that the seniors (SSC 18 and above) have been feeding them a lot of stories about me. they have blacklisted me in this platoon as i have a lot of bad reputation in this platoon such as my ops very cui and my poor hygiene. none of them are willing to sit next to me whenever ther's a lesson or bus trip to another place. they are very sarcastic, whoever sits next to me is the "hero"...like as if sitting beside me will kena disease....Fuck u!!!
Although i am a christian, i wun hesitate to use such a vulgar phrase. i need to speak up one day.i know that i cant always be a tortoise,always hiding under my shell (comfort zone). So Lord Father, is this the kind of NS life i am goin to live? Or is thisgoing to continue on the rest of my life?

Time really flies. Tomorrow will be my mounting day. the 7 days of standby seems so short,yet 7days of mounting duty in camp seems so long...my vocation in tuas naval base as a sea soldier really sucks......
So far i have joined TDS Platoon 1 for almost 4months already. Initially i dun like to join platoon 1 at all because of this selfish fucker who thinks he's always right. Well, my lucks dun seem to be good thats y i kena this platoon even though i really prayed so hard to get into platoon 2 (which is popular among everyone in ssc19)
I have something in mind. I have similar case like Kevin Alexander Chew (from SSC 20) and Kelvin Teo (from ssc12). We are all outcasted,especially by our own batchmates. Ever since the OJT (on-job training) period in TDS, most of my batch mates never talked to me in respectful manner. They are either being sarcastic to me or like to find fault with me, or even to the extent of badmouthing me behind my back to the ssc 20 or the seniors.
they can dislike me for all i care, but i never expect them to do such thing to destroy my name. How can they influence other ppl to dislike me as well? this is certainly not fair to me,especially when platoon 1 is well known for the culture of 老教切新教....so surely platoon 1 seniors, especially that fucker sergeant who's living in serangoon, will definite qie me....
Thus my life in platoon 1 is definitely not a smooth sailing and easy in the first place. Whether i do duty at West and East towers, DOC or guardhouse, there will bound to be someone who wun like me at all. this harsh fact has made me so emo ( slang for being demoralised and depressed) already. there are times when i really talk to myself by using my hp to act as a smoke object but Sergeant Danial, my GC, caught me doing that but i denied it.
Its only then when i do duty with that fucker Kelvin Teo (ORDed already), Jafar the CQ and Liang Hong (ssc 18 sgt), i understand why so many ppl in platoon 1 dun talk to me or even see me as invisible. this fact has further made me so emo.
As i have done several duty cycles, ssc 20 have also joined TDS. When i first met ssc20, i felt that time actually pass very fast as one month we only have to complete 2 duty cycles.when ssc 20 joined the platoon, i will become a senior. i do felt good about it. so when ssc20 were doing their ojt, i will take this good chance to build up friendship with them, and at the same time,while imparting ops knowledge to them as a senior, i can also improve on my daily land and sea security ops. I knew that my ops is really damn cui (hokkien word for lousy and fucked up), but i am willing to go thru my ojt notebook again and refresh my memory and also learn the hard way by kena fucked by that fucked up guard commander constantly during normal ops.
ok la, i shall stop here as tomorrow is the start of duty. so gotta sleep early tonight.....

Its's been almost 3months since i last blogged...Time flies... Actually its quite hard for me to maintain this blog and its a surprise that my blog exists until now...
There are many times i wanted to pour out my emotions into this blog but due to the fatigue from 7 days duty in camp,so i cant be bothered until now.
Recently i logged on to MSN. Then i saw Kelvin Wah,one of the friends i knew in SP,online. Now he dun really speak much to mi le . Perhaps i am no longer belong to his former care grps,so he has no obligation to keep in touch with me....3yrs of friendship,just gone like that....
Kelvin is my senior for the same course we studied. In fact, he's the very first friend i knew in SP 4yrs ago as he approached me when i went to SP for enrollment. He asked me to do a simple survey for him and the survey is all about Christianity. He was actually doing evangelism job, trying to engage non-Christians who just joined SP. This is how i get to know him when he smsed me one month later.
Kelvin was from God of Hope Church Singapore. there are many times he keep inviting me to his care group, which is quite to City harvest church version of cell group. Eventually, under pressure i decide to accept Christ as my Saviour and Lord.
Things weren't too bad until months later i felt that i have been blindly attending services every sat,and also have to stay ard for "fellowshipping"....that time i wasnt financially healthy so i always gave excuses to siam this fellowship. Everytime we went to S11 foodcourt or Republic foodcourt at Wisma i will have to spend at least 10dollars. sometimes, if the caregrp is going somewhere to hang out, thats even worse...
That time, i also attended Jehovah Witnesses Bible study actively,so more or less, i am drifted away from God. Also later on the care grp leader knew about it, he gave me a good lecture and from that time onwards the ppl from that care grp started to treat me with different attitude....
Here's the main thing i wanted to share: I hated those Christians who go all the way out for the unsaved ones just to convert them to christians. thats y even if they dun really like this particular "lost sheep",they still have to be nice to them for a purpose. this is why i feel that kelvin's caregrp are very fake or insincere since they befriended me for the purpose of evangelism (in evangelism, fellowship is one of the important steps before sharing christ)....
All along, i am not keen to be converted at all. Even Kelvin (my only close friend in this care grp) keep pressuring me to get holy baptised so that i can pray in tongue alomg with the church. i'm amazed by their persistence to get me baptised by praying non-stop but seriously i dun really feel the presence of Holy Spirit at all. So to avoid wasting time, i actually acted as if Holy Spirit has came to me and i am given the gift of tongue. this moment indeed made them so happy.
I always felt that i am not a genuine converts yet i obliged them by attending shepping session and weekend services...i have plans to tell kelvin that i will leave this care grp for good.....1month later, i went back to city harvest church to re-experience the home and presence of the Lord when i was still attending CHC svcs....that service i attended have made me soften and touched my heart and i decided to go back to CHC. As such, i told kelvin of my decision to leave the care grp for chc when he asked me when i wanna go back for caregrp. fortunately, he respected my decision as he understood my reasons for doing that...
Soon after that, those ppl i knew from kelvin's caregrp has treated me with different attitude. When i bumped into Lennon(care grp leader), caleb and Elisha(my shepherds), Jaron,Zhenyan and the rest in school, i said hi to them but they treated me as invisible... Was kind of disappointed but this is understandable as usually i hack care about this care grp by not attending services and caregrp meeting regularly...i am rude to Lennon and i dun usually mix with my care grp ppl. thats y i was thinking, with my fucked up attitude, why they still treated me so nice? if one day i'm not of the family, they will show me their true colours....they should dislike me, not tolerate me and still smile at me...so fake lor...haiz...
I'm so disappointed with HOPE OF GOD CHURCH S'PORE!!!

爱的太迟 by 古巨基
我过去那死党早晚共对各也扎职以後没法畅聚
而终於相约到但无言共对疏淡如水
日夜做见爸爸刚好想呻 却霎眼看出他多了皱纹
而他的苍老感 是从来未觉太内疚担心
最心痛是 爱得太迟 有些心意 不可等某个日子
盲目地发奋 忙忙忙其实自私 梦中也习惯有压力要我得知
最可怕是 爱需要及时只差一秒 心声都已变历史
忙极极放肆 见我爱的见相知 要抱要吻怎麽也好
偏要推说要等一下次
我也觉我体质仿似下降 看了正得到是别要太忙
而影碟都扫光但从来未看 因有事赶
日夜做储的钱都应该够 到圣诞正好讲 跟我白头
谁知他开了口 未能挨下去 己恨我很久
错失太易 爱得太迟 我怎想到 她忍不到那日子
盲目地发奋 忙忙忙从来未知 幸福会掠过
再也没法说锺意 爱一个字 也需要及时
只差一秒 心声都己变历史 为忙而放肆
见我爱见的相知 要抱要吻怎麽也好
不要相信一切有下次 相拥我所爱又花几多秒
这几秒 能够做到又有多少
未算少 足够遗憾忙掉
多少抱憾 多少过路人
太懂估计 却不懂爱锡自身
人人在发奋 想起他朝都兴奋
但今晚未过 你要过也很吸引
纵不信运 你不过是人
理想很远 爱於咫尺却在等
来日别操心 趁你有能力开心
世界有太多东西发生 不要等到天上苦困
而终於相约到但无言共对疏淡如水

Finally just dismounted from my 7 day duty at Tuas naval base....Quite a few things happened recently. First is the outbreak of swine flu in Mexico, therefore Singapore govt,being kiasu,has raised the alert level from green to yellow to orange. Orange code means that for us doing land side duties have to wear mask and gloves when on duty as we will be directly in contact with the incoming drivers and walk in personnel to our base...just like Sars episode 6 years ago... sian....
Another thing is that i have secured a place in NTU (i used to go there for fyp) and i will be reading a Master degree in Chemistry and Biological Chemistry. I will commence my uni study next yr Aug,so i will have to request for disruption of NS from my unit TDS (Tuas Defence Squadron) for one month...As u know, 1 month does make a lot of diference....anyway,Congrats to myself! :)
Feeling very tired now,so i going to sleep now....Good nite and have a sweet dreamz.... :p

Yes, i passed out from Sea Soldier Course (SSC) loh....
Hey everyone so sorry that i din blog for such a long time. All right,after being absent for 2months, i shall update what happened for the past 2 months,be it in ssc or outside camp....
Firstly, i have successfully passed out from my ssc,which was the 19th batch. In addition, on that passing out day on last friday, i have also managed to do 6 chin-ups for my IPPT,thus i was granted a conditional pass,which means i have managed to pass this ippt (with chin-up being the only station i failed previously) together with previous ippt results. In all, i am really very delighted that i have come to make such a good achievement. To many, a pass in ippt is nothing but to me,its a great achievement cuz for the past 7 years since sec sch i have never passed a single NAPFA or IPPT test before. Besides, SSC has helped me improve on my 2.4km run timing from 13:00 to 11:20,which is a great improvement and also my standing broad jump(SBJ) has "jumped" from 195cm to 225cm...thats the wonder of SSC,i just cant believe that i can achieve a pass in ippt ever in my life.....so if those just passed out from BMT and has been posted to sea soldier vocation, pls dun be sad or demoralised cuz SSC will make u become even stronger person,be it physically or mentally. Trust me. If i can do it, so can you.
Yes, SSC have indeed changed mi into another person who has more self confident and physically fitter, with all the swim lessons and AGR runs in the morning daily. All the effort i have put in has indeed paid off. Praise the Lord for giving me the strength to be able to do 6 chin ups and pass my final ippt! I will continue to train hard and aim for a silver for ippt....Amen.
During this 10 weeks of SSC, i am assigned to this section Shield. (the iother 3 being Spear,Strike and Storm). i have attended all the programs without getting a single status, such as physical training (AGR and speed training), weapon training (SAW, M203,GPMG,M16S1,P226),swims lessons,fire fighting and chemical defence course @CDA, Control n Restraint, section training, urban ops, and finally the basic seamanship course. I must say the 10 weeks in ssc is damn siong. with all these training programs mentioned earlier packed in the 10 week schedule, it can really make u so demoralised.
Not just all these, we all still have other routine which are done daily such as do 12 chin ups (assisted) before meals, and standby area,bed,bearings,pt shoes,and other silly things u can think of....standby like siao. Besides that, we still have to march from Panglima to 215 (2km long) in clean fatigue,SBO or FBO most of the time. By the time, we reach the destination,be it Panglima or 215 (Home of the sea soldiers), our smart 4 will become damn sweaty....but usually after reaching to 215 we have water parade,so should be ok.....Oh yea in ssc, all the trainees are required to shave their head to even shorter than bmt hairstyle...wtf, its like going bk to bmt....well,ssc is really like my 2nd bmt...haha...and somemore we have go back to the olden days of army where we all have to iron and starch uniforms and jockey caps,kiwi boots until kiwi shine like crystal shine and no touching of bed until RO is over...sian ah,ssc is such a f***** up vocation.....
Well, despite all these, some of the nice instructors are here to help us. these are my appraisal of the instructors in ssc:
2SG Gopi (PS): When he shout, he can be really intimidating...So "u all better wake up your idea!" or double or he'll pump u like hell...(30 push-ups is no joke!).... anyway he always like to find people whose timing around 12min to keep pace with...he's getting less fitter man,as i always see him struggle during 2.4km run in ippt.
2SG Matthew Mak (ACSM): the most f***** up person i have met in ssc. Always like to tekan ppl alot,especially when we din meet his std of march...his pet phrase is "Hello!" in a sharp and sarcarstic manner...It is rumoured that he doesn't have a pleasant childhood and teenagehood in secondary school days...just like mi,i can understand how he feels...To think he dare to label us the Girl Guides,Pussy of the seas...
3SG Gerald Chee: My sect commander (Shield). Can say that he's my section's most fav instructors cuz so far he never tekan us b4.. hehe..anyway we are like good friends. can talk cock under the sun...Ever since i met him in 2pdf for RP course, i knew that he's very slack one and i am so glad to be in his section..haha
3SG Monty (Montgomery) : His name is very unique. Not sure if he's pure singaporean anot,but when u see his face, u wun believe that he's only 20 this yr when his face tells u that he look around 24 or 25...
3SG Gulshanpal Singh: A "horny" sergeant. Always love to disturb and make fun of his trainees like Pte Tan zhi wei, he named him as "Pte Too Tall" as zhi wei always hunch back cuz of his height....haha...and also sgt gul like to make fun of zhiwei many times, like he asked zhiwei how do he kiwi his boots? then gul says must use pre-cum....haha! anyway, since he always like to disturb ppl,whenever i see his face, i cant help laughing.... :D
3SG Yi Long: A person with nice personality. but he like to keep blinking his eyes. anyway he look older than his actual age,appear to look around 27. he's only 20 this yr....haha to think when i first saw him i tot he's NSman....lol!
3SG Shaun Marcus Joseph: Look at his name and u can tell that he's of mixed blood parentage. He's a Eurasian. Though he's a nice person, he always appear to look arrogant and cool. Just dun like the way he speak....sux!
3SG Valentine Chris: Admin specialist. When comes to range,ippt or imt or swim cat test detailing,he's always the one in charge. No wonder he can rmb all his trainees' names very well. He's also the future ACSM for next batch, according to what my section mate said. He's damn nice man,hehe...
3SG Jian Sheng: One of 5 new ssc instructors. Looks innocent but it was during the interview then i realised he is quite lone ranger among other instructors. just cant believe it...
3SG Wei Tze: Seems a nice person,but i dunno him that well. Not much to comment. But he can be good looking when he wear contact lens.
3SG Firdaus: A siao on instructor. he's specialised in training the Gold potential trainees for ippt. he can do chin up with his chest above the bar. No wonder he can get best PT for his batch. Steady!
MSG Bala: my course sergeant major. most of the time he's my source of motivation, be it during ippt or weapon training, or during AGR runs. when he's present, most of us can go beyond our limit. I am his so-called the "best trainee of the urban ops"....i also why he keep forgetting my name but anyway , Thank u sergeant major! (Favourite pet phrase: Roger? Good to go?)
MSG Loh: My course commander. He plays a major part in helping mi to overcome hydrophobia during swim lessons. he has helped mi a lot during swim lessons, and i learnt a lot from him,especially that day i almost kena drown on one of the lessons. He can str8 away tell mi where i go wrong and why i almost drown and he taught mi the correct way to thread water. Besides, he also coach mi the correct way of doing standing broad jump,SBJ,during the ippt test. indeed,i have get a silver standard for this after several attempts. Thank u sir!
Other than those mentioned above, other instructors i met are 3SG Yong sheng,Ivan,Ming Gen,Kai Han and Thong Hao.
Also, i would like to thank Shield 1 ppl (Privates Zhiguang,George,Sulaiman aka Madam,Jun Chong from NDU and also Nick Tan my "buddy") for being there for mi throughout the ssc.Without u guys, i wouldn't be so much happier as compared to my bmt section mates. I will always remember u guys and the happy and sad memories we had even if we go separate ways from ssc. shield one rocks!
Firstly, i have successfully passed out from my ssc,which was the 19th batch. In addition, on that passing out day on last friday, i have also managed to do 6 chin-ups for my IPPT,thus i was granted a conditional pass,which means i have managed to pass this ippt (with chin-up being the only station i failed previously) together with previous ippt results. In all, i am really very delighted that i have come to make such a good achievement. To many, a pass in ippt is nothing but to me,its a great achievement cuz for the past 7 years since sec sch i have never passed a single NAPFA or IPPT test before. Besides, SSC has helped me improve on my 2.4km run timing from 13:00 to 11:20,which is a great improvement and also my standing broad jump(SBJ) has "jumped" from 195cm to 225cm...thats the wonder of SSC,i just cant believe that i can achieve a pass in ippt ever in my life.....so if those just passed out from BMT and has been posted to sea soldier vocation, pls dun be sad or demoralised cuz SSC will make u become even stronger person,be it physically or mentally. Trust me. If i can do it, so can you.
Yes, SSC have indeed changed mi into another person who has more self confident and physically fitter, with all the swim lessons and AGR runs in the morning daily. All the effort i have put in has indeed paid off. Praise the Lord for giving me the strength to be able to do 6 chin ups and pass my final ippt! I will continue to train hard and aim for a silver for ippt....Amen.
During this 10 weeks of SSC, i am assigned to this section Shield. (the iother 3 being Spear,Strike and Storm). i have attended all the programs without getting a single status, such as physical training (AGR and speed training), weapon training (SAW, M203,GPMG,M16S1,P226),swims lessons,fire fighting and chemical defence course @CDA, Control n Restraint, section training, urban ops, and finally the basic seamanship course. I must say the 10 weeks in ssc is damn siong. with all these training programs mentioned earlier packed in the 10 week schedule, it can really make u so demoralised.
Not just all these, we all still have other routine which are done daily such as do 12 chin ups (assisted) before meals, and standby area,bed,bearings,pt shoes,and other silly things u can think of....standby like siao. Besides that, we still have to march from Panglima to 215 (2km long) in clean fatigue,SBO or FBO most of the time. By the time, we reach the destination,be it Panglima or 215 (Home of the sea soldiers), our smart 4 will become damn sweaty....but usually after reaching to 215 we have water parade,so should be ok.....Oh yea in ssc, all the trainees are required to shave their head to even shorter than bmt hairstyle...wtf, its like going bk to bmt....well,ssc is really like my 2nd bmt...haha...and somemore we have go back to the olden days of army where we all have to iron and starch uniforms and jockey caps,kiwi boots until kiwi shine like crystal shine and no touching of bed until RO is over...sian ah,ssc is such a f***** up vocation.....

POP loh! (part 2)
ok,我气消了, i will now briefly talk about my 3 months in BMTC in Tekong since i can't really talk much about my training here for security reasons. I was enlisted on 15th sept 2008 and POP on 10th dec 2008, so i have spent 3 months in Tekong. during the 1st 4 weeks in tekong, it was my PTP (physical traing phase) period,since i have failed my NAPFA tests in SP last yr so have to come in earlier to train mi for the upcoming IPPT (individual physical proficiency test). Wah, let mi tell u, the 1st 2 weeks in tekong was really siong as i'm not used to the environment here and secondly my muscles was very painful during these period as all the CPT1 and CPT2 exercises made us so shag as i'm not really trained previously. We have quite a lot of physical exercises everyday during the 1st 2 weeks adjustment period (or rather say confinement period,since we can't book out on 1st weekend)..haha...
then later on, we moved on to BMT phase where all the real combat training will commence. we realise that our physical training program have reduced quite a lot and we focused mainly on combat skills such as Technical handling of SAR21 weapon , 6 days field camp, hand grenade (HG) throwing, live firing range, BCCT, SOC and lastly the 3 days Sitest where all the recruits will be tested on their potential to be future commanders in SAF. Our BMT is ended with a finale 24km route march in P. Tekong.
Well, during the 3 months in Tekong, life is definitely not as easy as before we are enlisted when we are living in comfort of sheltered homes. there's certainly regimentation and discipline when u serve NS,be it in SAF, police, or SCDF. Certain things like shaving our head to "botak" (skinhead), wake up (reveille) early in the morning, 'kiwi' army boots, fold smart-4 uniforms, water parade, 5BX in the morning, marching from place to place,sing army songs,watever..etc. has became part of our army life. i must say say that i really cant get used to the life there during the 1st 2 weeks there as to mi, it is really a big transition from a civilian to a soldier ( pink NRIC ----> green 11B)...haiz....=(
So on my first day in Tekong, i realised that i get into Zulu Company, located in 3km from BMTC HQ...sian,must take tonner to go there...then i get to know our Company sergeant major (CSM), SSG Bruce Lee SM. Our OC (officer commanding) is CPT Lim Zhifeng ( a very nice officer i have ever seen). Then my platoon sergeant (PS) is 2SG Clifford Au Yong (who ORD on 11th nov 2008),cnow replaced by 3SG Sahlan. My section commander is 3SG Fauzi. The other section commanders are 3SG Qai and 3SG Yin Chi,my fav commanders among 4 of them. lastly i got to know my platoon commander (PC), 2LT Hatta who later on promoted to Coy 2IC, so the Platoon 4 PC is replaced by 2LT Greg Tan,the most garung pc i have ever seen....
Of all the commanders i have mentioned, my OC, CPT Lim, has gave mi the deepest impression. Not because of his rank, but because of his pleasant personality. In my impression of the officers, they are supposed to be very fierce and domineering and love to exercise their authority. but CPT Lim was different. the first time i talked to him was when we were having 3km route march. I was holding on to the coy flag for some time then it was that time CPT Lim bagan to know and recognise mi. i also remembered how he encouraged mi to overcome my fear of clearing the Jacob's ladder,one of the SOC obstacles. Anyway, Sir Lim was really a nice person as he really cared for our personal well-being and he has tried his best to make sure our days in bmtc will be memorable. Thank u, sir!
still, i thanked all commanders who have put in their 100% effort in training me to be a soldier. they are :
3SG Fauzi (my sec com) - thank u for 'fucking' mi until i learnt how to handle SAR21. and thank u for sharing so many things abt mi with ur good friend,3SG Fazly,haha..
3SG Qai- thank u for training mi to be more fit by "knocking me down" on the last day of field camp
3SG Sahlan - thank u for being understanding,being my counsellor and waking mi up to my sense when i did something wrong or am still very "blur". i have really learnt a lot from u, platoon sergeant!
3SG Yin Chi- thank u for walking the 16km re-route march with mi and George, and also singing with us the oldies songs during the re-route march. u are the best sergeant i have ever seen b4!
2LT Hatta- thank u for being so concerned about my leg injuries during Sitest. u are such a good safety officer. thank u so much for ur words of encouragement when u are still my pc!
2LT Greg Tan- thank u for scolding mi so harshly during field camp and charging mi with one weekend confinement that i really woke up to my sense and began to learnt my lessons with sincerity.
Thank u, all commanders in Zulu Platoon 4! i will not forget u guys for teaching mi a lot of valuable things that i cannot learn outside army. I am lucky and proud to be in Zulu Coy! Zulu Rox!

POP loh!!! (Part 1)
yes, i finally POP le...POP = Passing out parade,but nowadays for dunno-wat-reason,it becomes Graduation Parade (GP). I POP on last wednesday,10th dec 2008. this day is really significant to me as it offically marks the end of my BMT (basic military training) in P. Tekong. i must say that the 13 weeks in Pulau tekong seems long yet rather short. I felt a sense of achievement when i have completed 24km route march in P. Tekong earlier on the same day. I must say,its not easy but the thought of going to POP in the afternoon spurs me on. Yep!
During the 13 weeks in Tekong. i have gone through a lot of ups and downs. I have learnt a lot of valuable lessons there. At the same time, i have met some of the sergeants and officers who are very nice in person (though they can really fuck u at times,ha!). I am very lucky to met some nice friends there in my attached company (Zulu Company) such San Yang ( my very 1st friend i met in Tekong), Fauzi, Marcus and Alex from Platoon 3, Frankie Wong and Wai Yiu from Platoon 2, William from Platoon 1 and Syamil,Adnan,Kevin, Andrew, Zhiwei and George from my platoon,Platoon 4.
Having mentioned about Platoon 4, i have a lot to comment about cuz i really hate this platoon a lot! Dun worry, i'm not hating everyone in my platoon, or i wouldn't mention those few friends from platoon 4 as nice people. Why i hate platoon 4? Its a long story to begin with. In fact they have so much to discuss about my personality and hygiene problems, so eventually i blur blur become their sabo targets when the need arises. Ever since Platoon Sergeant Sahlan spoke to mi about my BO (body odor) problems, i have been trying hard to change my way of living like washing laundry everyday when time allows and bath at least twice a day to minimise my BO. if possible, i will apply deodorant to cover the smell. In the end, they still keep mi at bay. As a result, i have to 自动跑到后面去fall-in, since 每个人都不喜欢站在我旁边。It's like, whichever row i stand, anyone who see mi standing in that row will move to the front row. Even that ABC Benedict said i'm so "influential" in this platoon. Well,i'm fully aware of my problems. But so what? As if i'm gonna care what they said about me. i'm still Elvin,ok? (only in camp everyone there address mi as Ernest). 我也管不了这么多。。。
后来，通过platoon 4 一位好友George， 我才对platoon 4 对我的误解和批评有更深的了解。为舌么跟George 这样熟？应为有一次Sitest 我整只腿发肿，脚趾发很大的水泡(blister),刚好George 那时也是脚受伤，the following week we missed the 16km route march together and on status the whole week, 所以我们就应为这样变得很熟落。George 告诉我很多东西。他说，我的人是很好，不过我的态度很奇怪。有时候，当有人跟我讲话，我没有回应他们，所以他们以为我很"zhuai".... the truth is, i can‘t hear anything at all sometimes, so i never catch what they said. George also said that i'm too quiet liao,thats why 我被冤枉也没有protest or justify myself, and i always kena scolded by commanders until 很严重，我的buddy Yanjie 也渐渐的没有跟我说话，简直都不像buddy咯，就连其它的bunkmate 都比我跟了解他。。。
总之，我就是没有办法跟platoon 4 的人相处。他们就是对我很多偏见，处处都要disturb 我。I'm getting irritated with this platoon 4. I have spoke to PS Sahlan before, he advised me to bear with this platoon for a few more weeks before we POP,since we were half way thru already. well,忍就忍咯。。。Some people in this stupid platoon are really bastard. ok let mi u tell who are they: Desmond Ho, Jon Wong Si Tze, Julian, Ong Zhi yu, Edward,Shan, Jonathan Lee & Chua, Tan Yu Tai, Goh Weiyang, Ong sin Han,Kenny,Nijo-Runcee Neo,Robin,Ng De Rong aka Garung (Guni), Jay Wong, and Lee Wenxiang! 你们最好跟我记住！！！
Seriously, these are the people whom i really hated. they have insulted,humilated and teased mi in a sarcastic manner. Imagine u having to tolerate all these shit throughout the whole BMT. this is why i'm so ashamed to be in Platoon 4. Yes, i'm at fault also,but that doesnt mean what they do is right! they have NO right to insult mi in anyway,to think they all kept quoting PS sahlan's words during field camp "pls dun insult one another!" in a sarcastic manner. all these words are meant for them! i really 受够了！
Enough comment about this platoon 4. From now onwards, i will no longer be known as Ernest,but Elvin Lim Chye Hin. I believe my life will be much better in my new unit,so i'm so happy now that i dun't have to see Zulu Platoon 4 anymore!!! =D
During the 13 weeks in Tekong. i have gone through a lot of ups and downs. I have learnt a lot of valuable lessons there. At the same time, i have met some of the sergeants and officers who are very nice in person (though they can really fuck u at times,ha!). I am very lucky to met some nice friends there in my attached company (Zulu Company) such San Yang ( my very 1st friend i met in Tekong), Fauzi, Marcus and Alex from Platoon 3, Frankie Wong and Wai Yiu from Platoon 2, William from Platoon 1 and Syamil,Adnan,Kevin, Andrew, Zhiwei and George from my platoon,Platoon 4.
Having mentioned about Platoon 4, i have a lot to comment about cuz i really hate this platoon a lot! Dun worry, i'm not hating everyone in my platoon, or i wouldn't mention those few friends from platoon 4 as nice people. Why i hate platoon 4? Its a long story to begin with. In fact they have so much to discuss about my personality and hygiene problems, so eventually i blur blur become their sabo targets when the need arises. Ever since Platoon Sergeant Sahlan spoke to mi about my BO (body odor) problems, i have been trying hard to change my way of living like washing laundry everyday when time allows and bath at least twice a day to minimise my BO. if possible, i will apply deodorant to cover the smell. In the end, they still keep mi at bay. As a result, i have to 自动跑到后面去fall-in, since 每个人都不喜欢站在我旁边。It's like, whichever row i stand, anyone who see mi standing in that row will move to the front row. Even that ABC Benedict said i'm so "influential" in this platoon. Well,i'm fully aware of my problems. But so what? As if i'm gonna care what they said about me. i'm still Elvin,ok? (only in camp everyone there address mi as Ernest). 我也管不了这么多。。。
后来，通过platoon 4 一位好友George， 我才对platoon 4 对我的误解和批评有更深的了解。为舌么跟George 这样熟？应为有一次Sitest 我整只腿发肿，脚趾发很大的水泡(blister),刚好George 那时也是脚受伤，the following week we missed the 16km route march together and on status the whole week, 所以我们就应为这样变得很熟落。George 告诉我很多东西。他说，我的人是很好，不过我的态度很奇怪。有时候，当有人跟我讲话，我没有回应他们，所以他们以为我很"zhuai".... the truth is, i can‘t hear anything at all sometimes, so i never catch what they said. George also said that i'm too quiet liao,thats why 我被冤枉也没有protest or justify myself, and i always kena scolded by commanders until 很严重，我的buddy Yanjie 也渐渐的没有跟我说话，简直都不像buddy咯，就连其它的bunkmate 都比我跟了解他。。。
总之，我就是没有办法跟platoon 4 的人相处。他们就是对我很多偏见，处处都要disturb 我。I'm getting irritated with this platoon 4. I have spoke to PS Sahlan before, he advised me to bear with this platoon for a few more weeks before we POP,since we were half way thru already. well,忍就忍咯。。。Some people in this stupid platoon are really bastard. ok let mi u tell who are they: Desmond Ho, Jon Wong Si Tze, Julian, Ong Zhi yu, Edward,Shan, Jonathan Lee & Chua, Tan Yu Tai, Goh Weiyang, Ong sin Han,Kenny,Nijo-Runcee Neo,Robin,Ng De Rong aka Garung (Guni), Jay Wong, and Lee Wenxiang! 你们最好跟我记住！！！

My cycling trip
Last sunday(31st August), Zhan Hong,randy and i went to east coast park to rent a bike and cycle towards the city area. Below are the pictures taken during the cycling trip:
As we cycled towards the city area, we have cycled around the singapore Flyer. below is the picture taken from the F1 Grand Stand side along the Repuclic Avenue. i must say this is the most perfect picture of the singapore flyer i have taken so far.

Short after we cycled around the city area, we cycled back to east coast park as we only rented for two hours. Wah there's a free drink after we return the bikes. Haha,good for us to quench our thirst after cycling for two hours. it was damn fun cycling with them.
After the cycling trip, we went to novena square have lunch. then i rmb Maui Wowi has a second outlet in Square 2,so might as well drop by there see if we can have a cuppa there. =)
Too bad when we reached there, the shop was closed. the auntie in the neighboring shop says the staff all went to suntec Outlet to help out. i think it could be due to sunday is the last day of Comex show,so the outlet must be very busy. haha =D

Life Lessons
LESSON 1
A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss are on their way to a meeting. On their way through a park, they come across a wonder lamp.They rub the lamp and a ghost appears. The ghost says, "Normally, one is granted three wishes but as you are three, I will allow one wish each." So the eager senior manager shouted, "I want the first wish. I want to be in the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries." Pfufffff, and he was gone. Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and shouted "I want to be in Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails." Pfufffff, and he was also gone. The boss calmly said, "I want these two idiots back in the office after lunch at 12.35pm."
*MORAL OF THE STORY: ALWAYS ALLOW THE BOSSES TO SPEAK FIRST*
LESSON 2
Standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand. "Listen," said the CEO, "This is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?" "Certainly," said the young executive. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button. "Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the shredder machine. "I just need one copy."
*MORAL OF THE STORY:NEVER, NEVER ASSUME THAT YOUR BOSS KNOWS EVERYTHING*
LESSON 3
An American and a Japanese were sitting on the plane on the way to LA. The American turned to the Japanese and asked, "What kind of -ese are you?" The Japanese confused, replied, "Sorry but I don't understand what you mean." The American repeated, "What kind of -ese are you?" Again, the Japanese was confused over the question. The American, now irritated, then yelled, "What kind of -ese are you !?!" Are you a Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese!, etc......???" The Japanese then replied, "Oh, I am a Japanese." A while later the Japanese turned to the American and asked what kind Of 'key' was he. The American, frustrated, yelled, "What do you mean what kind of -kee' am I ?!" The Japanese said, "Are you a Yankee, donkee, or monkee?"
*MORAL OF THE STORY: NEVER INSULT ANYONE*
LESSON 4
There were these 4 guys, a Russian, a German, an American and a French, who found this small genie bottle. When they rubbed the bottle, a genie appeared. Thankful that the 4 guys had released him out of the bottle, he said, "Next to you all are 4 swimming pools, I will give each of you a wish. When you run towards the pool and jump, you shout what you want the pool of Water to become, then your wish will come true."
The French wanted to start. He ran towards the pool, jumped and shouted"WINE". The pool immediately changed into a pool of wine. The Frenchman was so happy swimming and drinking from the pool.
Next is the Russian's turn, he did the same and shouted, "VODKA" and immersed himself into a pool of vodka.
The German was next and he jumped and shouted, "BEER". He was so contented with his beer pool.
The last is the American. He was running towards the pool when suddenly he slipped on a banana peel. He slipped towards the pool and shouted, "SHIT!!!!!!!........."
*MORAL OF THE STORY: THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU SAY SOMETHING, BECAUSE SOMETIMES ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN*
LESSON 5
The organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was in charge. Each organ took a turn to speak up:
Brain: I should be in charge because I run all body functions.
Blood: I should be in charge because I circulate oxygen for the brain.
Stomach: I should be in charge because I process food to the brain.
Legs: I should be in charge because I take the brain where it wants to go.
Eyes: I should be in charge because I let the brain see where it's going.
Asshole: I should be in charge because I get rid of your waste.
All the other parts laughed so hard and this made the asshole very mad. To prove his point, the asshole immediately slammed tightly closed and stayed that way for 6 days, refusing to rid the body of any waste whatsoever.
Day 1 - Brain got a terrible headache and cried out for relief
Day 2 - Stomach got bloated and began to ache terribly
Day 3 - Legs got cramps and becameunstable
Day 4 - Eyes became watery and vision became blurred
Day 5 - Blood became toxic and poisoned the body
Day 6 -The other organs agreed to let the asshole be in charge.
*MORAL OF THE STORY: NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, OR HOW IMPORTANT YOU THINK YOU ARE, YOU WILL FIND THAT IT IS ALWAYS THE ASSHOLE THAT IS IN CHARGE.*

hey i just came back from work...Feeling tired now....but before i will go to bed and sleep,i will just blog for a short moment,just to update myself...
So far, i have worked in Shin kushiya (SK) Suntec for almost two months, just felt that time passed so fast and i have learnt a lot from there. Also, i have gotten to know the fun-loving service staff who were very nice to me ever since i started work in SK. they are: Zenny,Rafunzel,Lito,Pennie(my manager),Liliana aka Lily(my supervisor),as well as some of those from Far East Square and Vivocity outlets like Bernard and Leanne. U know what? all of those i mentioned are foreigners,mostly from Phillipines,just like how i get to know Ernest and Anna back in O'Learys Sportsbar and Grill.
Generally they are very helpful to me when i first started out at SK as i'm not familiar with the menu there. If not for their help, i wouldn't be able to do my job well as a runner as well as bartender.
The most stressful part of working in SK is the opening duties. We have to perform certain opening duties assigned to us by 11:15am and have to be ready for briefing by then,so it's kinda rush for us as we are starting work at 10:30am,so we got to pick up our speed of working.
Anyway enuf said....Today there is a new arrival of 6 fresh fishes. One of them is Ebodai,a so-called housefly. I have no idea why it is called a housefly as it doesnt look one at all. Anyway this is the picture of grilled Ebodai i have took today:
Yup, this is Ebodai,the housefly fish. I'm the one who successfully pushed this item to 2 customers who are office executives. This fish cost $20 per portion. so it's very expensive,yet the customers din even touch the fish,so we get to taste this fish among us for free. Hurray! haha....

just to blog for a while before i go to sleep..i just found a new job last sunday. the job was a part time waiter position at Shin Kushiya (a jap restaurant) in New Suntec Galleria,near the new Esplanade MRT exit. For ur info, i have resigned from O'Learys Sportsbar and Grill last week tuesday,so was quite happy to leave there as i have many dissatifaction there in which i never tell nash about it....
So i have started work in Shin Kushiya last sunday. In fact this is my first time working in japanese restaurant though i dun really like jap culture. So i aniticipated that i wun have easy life there as i have to start everything from scratch instead of continuing from i learnt from O'Learys..Speaking of my duty manager,Miss Pennie and my duty supervisor,Liliana(Lily) in shin kushiya, i can tell that they have high expectation of me,since i'm working in such working environment,not like O'Learys where the ambience is very friendly and casual.
so what happen is that the restaurant menu have 100 over items in it and i have to study and remember every single one of them by heart,especially the kushiyaki (charcoal grilled skwers) the main specialty in Shin Kushiya. Another problem is that i have never learned japanese before,so i have problems trying to pronounce and spell out certain words. i have to derive the word in english myself lo...speaking of the shift alowance,they only give $3 nia,so little lo....wher got enough? this is Singapore leh not Phillipines...at least at O'Learys the SSP will at least give $5 lo....and they dun provide free lunch lo,i have to tak bao food lo...haizz..
But.....one good thing is that as i have to work split shift everyday so i can eat and sleep in the restaurant seat sofa for 3 hrs!!! Yay!!!
