Week 16. Tekong Boys are out. 1st NDP rehearsal!

Yozie. My saturdays are now burnt. But i get it back from my monday off. Sian. All the plans of meeting up with friends are quite screwed up. Sunday. Morning, christians heading for church, at night,People booking in back to camp. Monday, people are working and schooling. How to?

Anyway. This has been a very fun week. Had been sleeping during lessons. LOL. Now everyone knows me as the sleepy guy with the sleepy eyes. Even my instructor told me to sleep with care, just in case my spectacles breaks and he has to pay. Reason? I keep nodding my head on to the table while i sleep-_-". I steered a power boat ! Wohoo. Super duper cool man, Staff Lim was like drove us at full speed for 2 rounds. Fun man. But some of my frens really buay tahan the current. They had sea sickness.

The key of this week was fighting la. QWhole body still brusing now. First time against people. not one but 2. Wah biang. Orgas sia. Fight until my whole head giddy wakiing out of the fighting ring.

On the saturday, our morale was quite high. We Were constantly praised by the Parade Reserve Sergeant Major. Hahas. Can see which contingent cant march properly. Under the hot sun, march march march. Can feel the intense training those people went through in the past NDP. Not bad la. Quite a good experience, i would say. We kept angkat bola when PAP contigent marched past us. We kept shouting PAP PAP PAP PAP......


The adminstration is really sian when we got back to camp. Haiz i really lose faith in them le. SIan half!

This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl’s every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style.

This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they’re at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway, for the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favor cheaters, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don’t end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you.

This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your cell phone, and when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting two sentences her boyfriend said to her over dinner. And even though you thought her boyfriend was a chump and a jerk, you assured her that it was all ok and she shouldn’t worry about it. This is for that time she interrupted the best killing spree you’d ever orchestrated in GTA3 to rant about a rumor that romantically linked her and the guy she thinks is the most repulsive person in the world. And even though you thought it was immature and you had nothing against the guy, you paused the game for two hours and helped her concoct a counter-rumor to spread around the floor. This is also for that time she didn’t have a date, so after numerous vows that there was nothing “serious” between the two of you, she dragged you to a party where you knew nobody, the beer was awful, and she flirted shamelessly with you, justifying each fit of reckless teasing by announcing to everyone: “oh, but we’re just friends!” And even though you were invited purely as a symbolic warm body for her ego, you went anyways. Because you’re nice like that.

The nice guys don’t often get credit where credit is due. And perhaps more disturbing, the nice guys don’t seem to get laid as often as they should. And I wish I could logically explain this trend, but I can’t. From what I have observed on campus and what I have learned from talking to friends at other schools and in the workplace, the only conclusion I can form is that many girls are just illogical, manipulative bitches. Many of them claim they just want to date a nice guy, but when presented with such a specimen, they say irrational, confusing things such as “oh, he’s too nice to date” or “he would be a good boyfriend but he’s not for me” or “he already puts up with so much from me, I couldn’t possibly ask him out!” or the most frustrating of all: “no, it would ruin our friendship.” Yet, they continue to lament the lack of datable men in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-date male friends to sympathize and apologize for the men that are jerks. Sorry, guys, girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I can’t figure out why the connection breaks down between what they say (I want a nice guy!) and what they do (I’m going to sleep with this complete ass now!). But one thing I can do, is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesn’t last forever. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realize they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier, finding the ones that are single.

So, until those girls are found, I propose a toast to all the nice guys. You know who you are, and I know you’re sick of hearing yourself described as ubiquitously nice. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your patience in the department store, your holding open of doors, your party escorting services, your propensity to be a sucker for a pretty smile. For all the crazy, inane, absurd things you tolerate, for all the situations where you are the faceless, nameless hero, my accolades, my acknowledgement, and my gratitude go out to you. You do have credibility in this society, and your well deserved vindication is coming.


Fu-zu Jen, SEAS/WH, 2003


A wonderful essay written by this student. Chris showed it to us once. Hahas. Had lots of thoughts about this essay written by this graduate student.

4 months into NS, I have heard alot of relationships stuff, ranging from break ups to successful ones. Surprisingly, Break ups are rare. Some happened b4 the guys entered, some even happened on the second night of enlistment. However, i still have buddies whose relatonships have lasted over 4 years. Amazing yeah? I have alot of combinations. PJC with RJC, CJC with RJC, PJC with JJC. Of course within schools ones are more common. Entering navy, Even nicer ones. Lains with Bengs. Ah GONGS with CHIO BUs.. ( that really demoralised alot of guys... can believe it boh... ah gong with chio bu... slams head against wall)

Since we have alot of free time in NAvy, we usually talk about these type of questions regardiing relationships. We have came to conclusion that this world has indeed changed. Take a walk down Orchard or Citylink, Couples that dun match, guys who dun deserve such nice girls and vice versa. It is time we accept it. Well, i guess it just comes to "Nan Ren Bu Huai, Nu Ren Bu Ai".. loosely translated as Girls love bad guys.

The above esssay just sums up all my feelings. Looking all my male frens around, hearts that are broken. Well, Even if u study psychology fully, guys will never understand how a girl feels and vice versa. Never a hundred percent, that is a guarantee.

On a sidenote, my dad was like asking me why this week no one jio me out.

"All at tekong. The rest are with gfs. Xav slacking at home."

LOL. K la. Read through the essay. girls. Really salute the guy or gal. The name looks and sounds confusing to me. Applauds!
3 more hours to book in.. and i m so SIAN AH!

My Eye Problem

After 19 years of my life, I have searched the exact name of my eye condition. it is called Ptosis. Did some researched on it. It is not lazy eye as many have thought it was.

Ptosis is an abnormally low position (drooping) of the upper eyelid. The drooping may be worse after being awake longer, when the individual's muscles are tired. This condition is sometimes incorrectly referred to as a "lazy eye", a separate condition known as Amblyopia. If severe enough and left untreated, the drooping eyelid can cause other conditions, like Amblyopia or Astigmatism. This is why it is especially important for this disorder to be treated in children at a young age, before it can interfere with vision development.

Ptosis occurs when the muscles that raise the eyelid (levator and Müller's muscles) are not strong enough to do so properly. It can affect one eye or both eyes and is more common in the elderly, as muscles in the eyelids may begin to deteriorate. One can, however, be born with ptosis, congenital ptosis. Congenital ptosis is not hereditary. Causes of congenital ptosis remain unknown. Ptosis may be caused by damage/trauma to the muscle which raises the eyelid, or damage to the nerve (3rd cranial nerve (oculomotor nerve)) which controls this muscle. Such damage could be a sign or symptom of an underlying disease such as diabetes mellitus, a brain tumor, and diseases which may cause weakness in muscles or nerve damage, such as myasthenia gravis.


Yuppies. I try to uplaod a picture of my eyes. Stupid printer cant. And i cant be bothered with my k800i. LOL. Was wondering if president were to walk past me hor, if la, ... will this happen...

President,"Why ur eyes is of uneven size?"

Week 15

Due to some unruly behaviour, SI decided to make all the Cat 1 swimmers stay back on friday night and only bok on on saturday afternoon. SIAN.

Sometimes I wonder if it was good to be in navy or what. Discussed this issue with my newfound buddy. Will you want to be in a slack vocation with all those rowdy people who do nto think of others? Or would you rather be ina super garang feirce vocation like guards or commandos, whereby everyone really suffer hardship and work together like brothers?

Hiaz. NS NS NS. Week 15 of my NS life. I still have another 52+52-15=89 more weeks of NS.

Kinda of tired today. I go sleep already. Nights. one whole week. No one tagged. LOL.

Week 14. Book Out on Friday

Hello! i am back again=)

I should be released on Saturday. But, due to good performance and having the aility to clear Category 1 swimming test. Ta Da. Booked out on friday. Usually, I will take the Bangala workers lorry out of the No man land of Changi naval base. Then, me and my friends willl speak broken english to them and most of the time, we dun get any replies. Just Darlie Smile
=D

Anyway, yup, this time round, shared cab and got out of the place. My uncle then came to pick me up. had dinner at Glory restaurant at katong. Speaking of which. Super long I haven't been to katong already. The popiah at this shop rocks. The fillings is alot , but the skin is abit too soft though. Very nice though. Woot. had curry chicken, fried eggs all that. Glory is actually a shop that makes kueh. So yeah lor. Caught up with my aunt, and then went home after that.

This week have been quite relaxed. They chiong through the seamanship book faster than the MJ teachers. Have close to 15 chapters of stuff to memorise. back to studying again. Well, what is category test. basically it is like those gold swimming test. I swam 50 m with my NCR( navy's version of long 4), swim back to the centre of the pool. Did a 5 minutes threading of water and then take off my NCr in the water and do a balloon with the long pants. Finally, take leap off the 3 m diving board. Super fun i tell. when u leap off the board, feels like u are about to end ur life. You can feel that ur heart practically stops, and regains beating again when u enter the pool. Woot=D Did that twice. Shiok. But not as shiok as Willis. Freaking hell, leaped off an aeroplane a thousand feet above singapore. That is what i called adrenaline rush. Hahas. Congrats to him, have airborne badge le=)

The April boys have gone in. Wy is in Whiskey. Good not so slack. Wilberg is in jaguar. Good. Hiong for him. Bowen is in leopard. Complaining there very vulgar. hello?... come to my camp. I can show u what s vulgar. haahs good for him la.. welfare coy.LOL. The rest all not sure. havent got any reply from them. Either they are getting tekan like crap and have no energy to reply, second is that they scaret o use their phone. Anyway. lame stuff. hahas. Off to sleep. Swimming tmr. Wohoo!

Outing With the Section 4 of Platoon 3 of Bronco Coy

A week before POP.. all of us were so enthusiastic in going for a gathering. I was dam sure that everyone will be coming except that one guy.

"Oh yeah... can come." "Count me in!" "Dun stay overnight I sure can come!"

On that day... Only me , zhen yang, zhi sheng , kaili and Jeffery turned up. out of 12 people, only 5 came. So wonderful=) And also dear marcus told me we told him it was at 430pm. I was like. Eh i mass send my msges to everyone the night before. it was like 10 plus, and no one was sleeping yet. Haiuz nvm.

We went to watch Semi pro. One god damn funny show with that actor inside. Forgot what is his name already. hahas, Just super buay tahan. Laugh and laugh. What to expect, lame NS guys watching lame shows. LOL. had pizza hut for lunch. it had been a super long time since I had pizza. Super shiok when i had a first bite. ( April Boys, you will get this feeling soon=p)

Walked around marina square Explored the place quite abit. There were a few interesting graffiti outside their toilets... So when Ns boy are out...Photobucket
Wah Seh too heavy ah!
Photobucket
Woot! A big pair of boobS!
Photobucket
kaili is feeling hungry...

Met Jing Wen and Marcus at night. JW sad la. Cannot down pes even though he has a heart problem. This guy is also my Dad's Sec 4 classmate's son. Cool Eh=) NS got alot fo these cases de. Ahahs. So for those going in can go ask around ur bunk mates father may actually knew each other a long time ago. We went to raffles city , a jap rest to eat. They gave us a card and we had to order food using that card. if u frreaking lose that card, it cost u a 100 bucks. Quite ok la the food. ALot of Variety to choose from. The prices also alot alot of numericals.

JW kept asking got watch some anime movie.. but i was like freaking shag after the whole day. So we spent like 15 mins standing outside the gate before deciding to proceed home.

KK. Time for me to start my rants. Mayybe like what the sergeants said, the bonding is not that bah. But I was still deeply saddened by the response. Something cropped up, cant come. Is it very important that it cant be changed? We agreed on this like a week ago? Putting gf b4 buddies. One day without going ouit with Gf is it ok? Phone suddenly spoiled that day. DUn crap pls. 5 people called with their phones. 3 got hanged up, the other 2 cant get through. Do u think we just know how singtel worked just 1 day ago? Crap. Oh I have fever dun think I am coming.

"hello, eh where are you guys? I am not outside, later if i free i will go find u guys. Bye." Wah amazing, u feel and sound so refreshed in the afternoon, but sounds like u were dying in the morning. In the end, didnt even bother to come look for us. It is ok. Girls come first again.

Haiz. Well, this is the amazing face of the world. Next time when i organise some stuff, I will just ask the people who came. I am not going to waste anymore time on u crappers who just waste the time of others. JW was so disappoionted to see the few of us who came, and even asked me why we didnt cancel the outing.

What more to say?

This r the things that pisses me off here and then. Now i amkind of enjoyng navy life more. The people here no doubt are of lower education status. They still know the meaning of "Jiang Yi Qi". Haiz. Not sure what to say le.

Wonders of Google

Google has many hidden functions, and most accessible from the main search box. This article describes a few of these.

Google is widely known as the internet's best search engine. Everybody with access to the internet uses google at some point to scour the depths of the web for a particular web page, or a certain piece of information. However, Google has several built in functions that help you to make your searches more successful, and to enable you to spend less time searching! The following is a list of 5 functions, all accessible from the main google search box, which will help you find that snippet of information you are looking for.
Removing Unwanted Pages

Ever searched for something before, and had a whole list of completely irrelevant web pages come up? This is annoying at the best of times, as it takes time to check and read through the list of sites and find the one you actually want.For example, if you were looking for a review of the book "Eragon", and you typed into Google “Eragon review”, many of the links listed are reviews of the movie, not the book. Because you are not looking for a review of the movie, you can remove all pages relevant to the movie by adding “-movie” to the end of your search items This will now display all the pages relevant to "eragon review", but not relevant to "movie".
CalculatorGoogle can be used as a calculator, answering anything from the simplest math to the most complex equation. Just enter your math question, and Google will display the answer.+ is used to add terms, - to subtract terms, * to multiply terms, and / to divide terms. Besides these basic operators, you can use ^ to work out something to the power of something (for example, “2^4” would be 2 to the power of 4), and "sqrt" to calculate the square root of a number (for example, “sqrt 4” would be the square root of 4).

Dictionary DefinitionsBy typing “define:” before a word, Google will retrieve and display a list of dictionary definitions for that word.
Search A Single WebsiteIf you type "site:" and then a website after a search term, Google will search for your term(s) in only the site dictated. For example, the following search will search Oxford University Website for the term "prospectus."


Search for A Specific File TypeAs I am sure you are aware, there are many files hosted on the internet besides the standard html websites. Therefore, searching for a specific type of file could make your search a lot easier. For example, if you were looking for a PDF version of the iPhone manual, you could use the following search, which would produce more accurate (and less) results.Here the "filetype:" tool is making Google search the web for PDF files only, therefore eliminating any pages that we didn't want to see.These are just 5 useful functions that Google can perform, there are many more for you to discover, and they can all be mixed and matched! I hope this helped you to find that ever-elusive page or snippet of info. Have fun, and happy searching!
