your typical metalhead next-door neighbour with a tendency to bring down his estate
with his trusty handmaiden with two humbuckers, an SA Series Ibanez. tamed by iced milo,
iced lemon tea and coffee, its always a good idea to drop him a cuppa. recently has turned
to running and bouldering as stuff to do but still sucks at both though he likes to act he's
dam pro at them.
he <3s his fluff* too.

i watched hurt locker yesterday and its a really good show that accurately portrays life as a soldier on an overseas deployment. it's one of the shows that actually makes one feel proud to be a sergeant and specialist instead of an officer: in one of the scenes, deliberately it seems to me, the focus was kept between the officer (a colonel) talking naively to a few iraqis and chasing them away like they owed him a living, and a sergeant evacuating a building that he just disarmed (he's from Explosive Ordanace Disposal (EOD) unit). a few seconds later, it shows the officer being blown up by a bomb just next to him by the iraqis he chased away because he didnt know what it was. it kinda portrays the inexperience an officer has compared to a specialist when it comes to ground-level fighting. his inexperience caused him his death, whereas if the person handling the iraqis were a sergeant, he would have known the dangers and left long before. sometimes you wonder why you ever wanted to be an officer - but feel proud to be a sergeant instead. sadly, the singapore army will never reach the kind of standards the americans have. too nua sia.
anyway, within the last 2 weeks, i failed my hsp (military ftt) and parking, but i passed it all on the 2nd attempt, and my driving test on my 1st attempt. this week's gonna be fun i think. offroad driving and highway confidence. haha. hope there's an off-day or something. this week marks the end of my class 3 jeep course. next week's back to unit life, which kinda sucks... dreading it but oh well. kinda like driving everyday.
today's book-in day- zzzzz... going off now for another 5 days of confinement!

i passed my highway code test today, got 47/50. that means im going to the public roads on monday! this is insane, im actually driving something with some extent of skill. now i realise why people take joy-rides... imagine having the ability to drive and the passion to race, but without an engine to go by with. it sucks.
thats all im confined to for now...
anyway, doubt im gonna drive anymore after this month-long course (week 1 done). next week's highway situational problems and apparently more than half fail at the first attempt. haha. zzzz. but good thing is that my units totally empty currently. everyone's at some event at almost the other side of singapore for 2 weeks. shiok sia?
alright, its friday night... sleeping at home feels good. chao-

i'm definitely going to grow FAT man. the reason simply being that im on my class 3 driving course now. and fuck! im not even a driver... that means i'll never get my civilian license which kinda sucks, coz you need to clock in 7000 km in order to convert from military to civilian license. anyway, its a 8 to 6 course where i'm now learning my highway code which is fucked up, followed by 100 minutes of driving everyday starting from this tuesday. cant wait man, driving the jeep is seriously fun somehow. sadly, my course is stay-in, which means im going back to camp every weekday. going to need some hardcore effort on my part to retain my fitness. oh yeah, and the nasi lemak at safdc is good. so is the teh-peng and samosa. how sia???!

sometimes i wonder if its coincidence or fate that i end up in 3sir, home of the scorpions. i've always been fascinated by scorpions, how they're so small yet deadly, and the fact that they can survive in extreme climates. i have a pendant that looks like a scorpion as well, though i dont know for what reason i received it. even my horoscope's scorpio. how coincidental...
the army changes guys: they become more petty apparently. at least according to girls. but if you think about it and have experienced army, being petty is just a change that people observe - in my opinion, most guys after entering army for a substantial period of time become more responsible and focus on small little things that didnt use to matter; because if you dont do such things in the army, you're never going to be able to book out. its a form of social conditioning we men undergo at the age of 18 in singapore. the army is anal about such stuff, so likewise we must think ahead in an anal sort of manner to save ourselves from the dreaded file or if we're lucky enough, endless talking to the floor. so girls, dont blame your boyfriends, because most likely such traits are just side-effects of the transformation from a carefree, immature young kid to a responsible and streetwise adult. its going to happen whether we like it or not.
anyway, i just experienced the longest weekend i had in 3sir, 3 nights at home. and its a refreshing experience.
friday - booked out at 7pm!
saturday - went w E to get our crumpler bags- and had jamming after that
sunday - church barbeque-
monday - hanging around town with E once again.
and fuck! its back to camp! now's 7:54, gotta be back by 9:00. i dig being able to reach camp in 20 minutes. my driving course starts this friday, the same day that the rest of singapore will be catching the grand prix. good start eh? chao-
is two better than one still?

and yet another weekend has flown by. im going to book into camp in an hour. selarang's dam near my house sia. haha anyway, next weeks HARI RAYA people! so im fucking happy about the long weekend. yet, to that long weekend lies 5 days of fucked up training. there's going to be navigation and close combat training. zzz. i liked last friday. it was 24 hours of sleeping. if this friday was an early bookout, it'd be the most awesome weekend in a long while.

i was blasting metal once again.
for me, music is a way out of everyday life; an escape from reality in an attempt to connect with myself internally. it brings out the emotion in me, allowing me to let it go. like anti-matter colliding with matter, it results in a burst of energy, and then nothing remains. i become emotionless and thoughtless.
things have changed... after awhile, people start to reconnect with their past. in my opinion, its because its novel. everyone's seeking for a new experience - something different to break the monotony of sameness. the past thus becomes something new, and the new of the past, becomes something obsolete; perhaps to be referred to as a novelty in the future, or else, gone forever. do people who remain the same then become eliminated from the equation? do they become boring, incessant; their emotions marginalised.
its all MY fault again. its never yours.
and i don't know why i still keep checking my phone.

we hate to MOVE IT, MOVE IT.
and yet another opening article adapted from the story of Twilight and the Thousand Other Fantasy Stories.
in this latest article, humour (or rumour) has it that vampires drink orange juice. a petrified employee of orange julius
was quoted saying "he just looked at me with those orange eyes, and then, i had no choice. i gave him a cup of orange!".
orange julius CEO said that he was launching a personal vendetta against vampires as they were causing his profits
to dip.

this linking passage links us to linkin park which is somewhere in my CD rack.
"what a nice park," leonardo da vinci had said himself. "its full of dog shit and... eww whats this? spagetthi filled
with pieces of dark flakes... ooo, wait, senor! its... chocolate. si si... si penne? no no... si fusilli." pavarotti reportedly
slapped him after that for mixing up his favourite pasta.
