I've found a friend who died for me

Life as a private in ns is pretty slack for the time being.. other than the morning pt, the whole day is fairly fine.. we enjoyed alot of benefits that we dun while we were still recruits.. to think of it, the new intakes for bmt was juz recent.. yuan siao, caixiang, melvin etc went in i think.. ha.. imagine them getting shaved, juz like what i 1st went through 3 months ago.. time sure flies..

well, i cant really blog much abt ns cause i might "accidentally" reveal military secrets.. military police (mp) are all around to catch offenders.. so muz be very careful to ppl out there who have low level of awareness ya.. many of my platoonmatez tat got posted out of kommando (our slang) went to different units, like infantry, amoured infantry, rp, signal etc.. and received numerous feedback tat they regreted opting out in the 1st place.. hmmm, dunno how is it like out there, but no matter what, they hav to make full use of their time.. maybe it might not be as bad as they think?

saw john (council) on good fri while having lunch with church friendz.. went to ocs.. going to be an officer.. haha.. cool.. but gonna be tough too.. heard quite a number of pioneers going into ocs too.. wish them the best of luck..

received a call from smu yesterday when im doing sentry duty as the leaders went pasir lebar to train.. guess what??? it was from the school of business!! yeah!! said i was supposed to go down for interview on 28th of april.. but, what? i was also called by the school of infomation system (SIS) one week earlier to go interview!!! and it was on 21st of april.. (the interview was also one week earlier then the business one) gulp.. well, hav to be honest tat SIS called me earlier.. so i told the lady on the phone (from bus school one) abt it.. den she was like.. "err, oh, they called u?? hmmm.. ok, i got to check again.. will call u later.."

and i haven receive her call yet..

errr, does tis mean im losing the chance to go for the interview for school of business??? dunno.. but hopefully, they call again, cause i put business as my 1st choice n SIS 2nd.. nevertheless, im ok with either.. (contradicting huh?) watevea la.. was thinking what my dad told me.. he told me tat i should not applied for too many uni.. cause if all three of the uni i applied happen to accept, i will hav a tough time deciding where to go.. gosh..somemore, i applied different courses for differentl uni.. (engineering for NTU, business-related courses for SMU and arts and social science for NUS) problematic as im actually ok with taking either one of the three courses above!!! and what dad said was veri true.. i was already struggling btw SIS and Business for jus only smu.. damn..

weighting which uni to go, all three uni have what i wan.. smu: easily accessible (direct bus) cool, hip, n my ideal sch and fav course.. ntu: hostel lifestyle with quite a well recognise engineering degree.. ( coz my dad is working in the engineering field and is a well known man in his field, if i steer toward engineering, i can easily get into international companies through my dad = means steady future = no worries abt job) nus: oh, quite accessible somehow, but cause it is a very recognised uni in the world and hostel life too.. also social science is quite attractive to me.. u noe, socialising n stuff..

my dad will of course wish tat i will enter engineering (means ntu la) though he will still support my final decision.. this really put me in a tough spot.. cause my preferred path is a tough one (smu) the business world is veri competitve.. plus it might not definately assure you a good job.. i seen cases of ppl who graduated from business courses ended up in other field instead, like teaching etc.. so diff from what u learned in the uni.. on the other hand, engineering will allow u to not only enter engineering field, but even to business too if u wan.. (no limit imposed in business world) soooo, my theory is ... an engineer might be able to take up business related job, but the businessman definately wun be able to enter the engineering field.. get it?? no? den too bad..

melissa is probably going oversea to study.. hope she chooses the path is desires ( which i believe she will) good luck for ya interview ya.. (oh, tis mean F4 not not Hi-5 !!! ) oops..

for unknown reason, i became quite mean nowdays.. as in, im not as concerning abt others as i used to.. kinda of like in my own world thing.. not to the extent of isolation la.. think ns made me more "pratical" or maybe materialistic?? i more interested in activities tat i will gain in (self-centred?) and less as caring as i once was ( bo-chap?) geee.. seems like im going against my principles ya.. gonna do some reflection in the corner ya..

watched alot of movies since i enter ns ( ns again, everything seems to revolve around ns.. if u dun believe me, for those guys who juz enter bmt, u will suddenly realised tat singapore has actually alot of botaks serving ns when u didt even notice they existed before u enlist.. interesting huh? but true) watched the number 23.. was quite a spooky show.. imagine one whole life revolves around a number and u cant seem to escape from the vicious cycle tat ur mind put u into believing every bad things happened got to do with the number..

and again, my ns matez (again) and i came up with our "so-called number " : 7

reasons??? juz pure crap.. see, this is how we came up with it..
-our bunk got 14 ppl, and 14 is a multiple of 7..
-our bunk got 7 beds (double decker beds) and got 14 lockers, which 14 is a multiple of 7
-our bunk got 6(+1 for commando) fans (oh, commando got tis culture of doing one more than the usual sum needed, like if u are given 10 push-ups, overall muz do 11 becoz 10 and one for commando =11)
-we got 2 weeks of leaves tat we can take in a yr, which is 14 days
-we are supposed to hav 7 hrs of sleep a day to be sufficient
-our pay is 350 (recruit pay, suppose to be 650 coz we ar private, but due to some screw up) and 350 is a mulitple of 7
-there are 7 days a weeks
-we got tis sergent called murali, and he got tis fetish for giving we 7 extras guard duties if we create problems
-a dream of 7 murali, which each gave 7 extras, means total of 49 extras, which is a multiple of 7
-the leader course currently has 52 ppl (after dropping from 63) and 5 plus 2 =7

and the bullshit goes on and on.. tat what we do to keep ourselve entertained in ns.. dumb?? nah, creative

damn youtube.. heard they disallowed jap anime to be posted on youtube.. means i cant watch my naruto n bleach went i booked out.. not tat there is no other sources, but juz tat too lazy too download online.. sometimes, ns makes u lazier..
