So easy,

it's great to be back again. after more than a month's absence hahah. glad to say that yesterday, the 11th of March was my Pass Out Parade. (POP) for those who dont know, it's the graduation parade for army recruits like myself who have successfully complete Basic Military Training (BMT). most of the companies have 9 weeks of endless and tiring training while my company has 13. how unfair right. should have told myself to take NAFA earlier and pass it before my medical test at CMPB. oh well. i passed all the criteria in BMT. but can say that i'm a damn slack solider because im super lazy at completing tasks. now i'll have a well deserved 12 day break before i get my unit posting on the 21st, which is unfortunately my birthday as well. hopefully SAF gives me a nice unit as a birthday prezzie. NO SISPEC PLEASE. im not commander material.

it really felt good yesterday to perform in front of a huge crowd of guests, even though our uniform was drenched like crazy under the heavy rain, and for my parents especially. but i got suay at the end of parade. because we're supposed to throw all our jockey caps in the air at the end of the parade. i threw mine damn high up in the sky and i dunno where it landed, so i lost my jockey cap on graduation day -____- i dont really care la seriously. i havent washed that jockey cap ever since i've gotten it on enlistment day 3 months ago. it stinks like hell. my company was the first to leave the island and i'm damn happy. but wait, im feeling a bit emo at the same time. because.

it's the last time i'm ever gonna see my platoon mates ever again. i'll definitely miss the guys in my section. a bunch of colorful and funny guys. some people whom i hate in my platoon, i dont even bother going up to them or maintain eye contact with them. just like one fat indian fucker. and i feel for those who dont have any guests to bring. that means they go home alone just like that.

the night before POP is already engraved deep into my memories. it's the one and only night that our sergeants dont care whether we sleep or not, they allow us to do anything we want. so people from other platoons were doing their own shit la, like play catching and other nonsense. my platoon had a few birthday guys so we celebrated by having a crazy food party in Section 1. birthday guy bought over $90 worth of snacks from NTUC hahahaha. beating me hands down. because i usually spend about 50 bucks every weekend to bring in snacks for myself and my section.

but i got a hint that something wrong was going to happen to me. because im the shyest guy in the platoon. every night during shower time, i always take the extreme left cubicle because nobody can see me from there. because im also scared to appear naked. even though it's an all-male community.

k la. i'll go straight to the point. on the night before POP, 8 guys bound me to the floor and stripped me. first, they wrap me up in a blanket and push me to the ground. i was struggling like fuck la. and screaming like hell. then they unwrapped me and got 4 guys to hold back my arms. and the rest just pull off my clothes lidat. i was damn pissed off but knowing since it's the last night, i shouldnt care la. just took it with a pinch of salt, put on my clothes and went back to eat.

3 months passed. we went through a whole lot together. from getting punished as a platoon, sweating, eating, having fun. i really really will miss you guys. BMT life is really fun after looking back on all the things we did together. Platoon 3.

*tear drops from eye*

okay okay no more EMO-ing liao.

yesterday night after we got back on the mainland. waited eternity for the bus to reach Pasir Ris Interchange. then my father suggested to have dinner over at East Coast. good idea hahah. it's been dammmmn long since we ever had dinner together as a family. since my parents are always so busy. they took off together just for me. my sister is in Japan right now and im damn jealous. she could have waited slightly longer till today maybe. so i can just go too. heck, anyway i've sent her and SMS for the list of stuff i wana get in Japan. she better read the SMS.

and so.

we went east coast to eat. i suggested seafood again (duh) dinner was good. had the usual again. BBQ stingray + greens, satay, cockles. it was nice. and there was barely a crowd there since it's only a tuesday night. haiz. before that, the car whizzed past a lot of nicer restaurants behind. like Waraku Japanese Restaurant and even a KOrean charcoal BBQ restaurant. way better choices. but my parents dont fancy these kinda food.

and now.

back home and enjoying my 12 day break to the fullest. sian. i thought i could go shopping in town today without anything bothering me. but i have to go for piano class instead. i like playing the piano. but. ever since i enlisted into NS, i barely had any time to practise. and i'm having my piano practical exam this FRIDAY. im so gona fail it la. chop. with so many different sections to cover and even one song totally unlearnt. i might as well drop the exam. but i cant do that, my mom will definitely kill me. since the fees for the exam were already in. and my piano teacher has been recently vomitting blood over my piano playing performance lol. aiyaaaa. i dont wanna disappoint my mom. but this kinda things really bo bian.

since i'll be damn free from now till 23rd. time for some serious shopping. hello new clothes and bags.

im a little disappointed over the SGCAFE community. the last time it used to be damn lively with lots of outings and other fun crap. but NOW????? it's like barely an outing. and being MIA for so long, now suddenly got so many new weird clubs and new people. it's like totally different from the past. please bring the past back.

i wana watch SKy Of Love. last week i caught L movie alone and i think it was great. L was damn funny and he looks good in it too.

arh hungry.

time to hunt for breakfast in the kitchen.

byebye.

For the road that we walk has no more miles left to talk,
Stories on and on we go
