A Struggling Me
I'm struggling to keep sane in the boredom of everyday,
trying to find things I can look forward to.
It's two whole years, ARGH!
I can be optimistic but I'm gonna show off my agony side here.
I wanna be back in school!
The joy, laughter and fun with so many different people.
I wanna have lots of outings again!
I wanna keep learning new stuff.
I swear I'm becoming more stupid as the months passed.
Actually I just miss my JC la. Sob.
NS has it bads and goods. For one, there is relatively less worries here. You get paid, you learn to deal with many many different types of people and you can have a sense of pride when people look at you and think that you are a protector of the nation.
Then again, I came to conclusion that I ain't meant to be a soldier. No matter what you give me, I wouldn't want to sign on. Tell me 2 years and yes, I will take it positively. But bond for 5, 10 years? Never.
I guess I'm just too addicted to luxury and all.
I'm spoilt.

My Goal For These 2 Years
Do you know what's my motivator for these 2 years of NS?
I wanna ORD and when my friends meet me once again, they did say, "Wow, how Kok Mun has changed!". For the better, of course!
Right now, I'm focusing on trying to stay in Gloucester Camp despite Jurong Camp calling me back soon.

A Long Overdue OG21 Clique Outing!
Despite the dismal turnout, we still managed to had fun! Thanks to Wei Liang, Yi Fan, Hui Ying and Sharon for turning up!


We actually decided to have cosy steamboat at Marina South, but since we had so little people and Sharon already eaten, we decided to go have a simple dinner at Holland V instead. I tell you, Holland V is fast becoming my favourite hangout place.
At evening, we went to Crystal Jade Kitchen for dinner! My first time there and I ordered wanton mee, my quotation favourite!







Afterwhich we went to TCC for some very very long chit chat. I drank some alcoholic drink I can't pronounce. I must admit, my recent outings are costing me a bomb!

And Sharon can't figure out to use the toilet lock!
Wei Liang and Yi Fan are worried about NS! Muhaha.
Hui Ying actually want to go Seoul Garden also!
Maybe another outing soon?
Anyway this blog is undergoing a major change. Not only is there going to be a spruced up blogskin, there's gonna be tons of content. I will focus on what I can share best, how I live my life, my indulges and many many things that focuses on sharing with you guys the wonderful little things I have discovered here and there along the way.
But, it's gonna take a lot of hard work and a looong time.

An Ugly Incident
I hate people who play ranks. There are some people, just because they have a higher post or rank, would love to mess around with new people or even people of lower ranks.
That happens everywhere in the army and I hate it when I just got on the receiving end today, not to say that I love to tekan other people.
Well, making me angry ain't a very good thing, because firstly, I don't often do stuff that would irritate someone. So anyone who disturb me either is an asshole to begin with or just jealous with whatever I have.
Secondly, being angry motivates me to do very creative stuff to ensure I don't get the same treatment in the future.
And that is why, I thought for a little while today, that I should develop some people to people skills to defend against such disturbing attacks.
Firstly, being witty is crucial. Splitting out a split second reply that is filled with sarcasm yet is not liable for any offences is perhaps our first line of defense.
Secondly, you must have friends, acquaintences everywhere and from all walks of life. That doesn't mean you start to bootlick people. I would earn their friendship and respect the honourable way.
Thirdly, I must get more muscular and fitter. I am still so thin that my uniform looks like it's hanging on a stick whenever I wear it. Having large biceps and being able to run at 500 miles per minute will give pause to any street bully.
Fourthly, one must gain status or rank.
Fifthly, one must have financial power. You can then hire millions of goons to take down that bastard or just buy a nuclear bomb to drop on him.
Sixth, one must have great wisdom and knowledge. No one will dare insult a thousand year old scholar.
Notice the fourth and fifth point border dangerously to what villains want in movies and comics. Frankly, much precautions must be taken when pursuing such MEANS OF POWER.
Okay, I feel like I'm reading too much fiction books.
I guess I will just stick to avoiding the bullies I met today from now on.

A Ranting Update
I'm spending money recklessly, justifying my buys with this and that excuse.
Now I need:
1. A flash-based MP3 player to put in all the legal songs and podcasts and bring to camp, just in case the military police decide to drop in and do a little check. Besides, I'm always wasting valuable time travelling back and forth (2 hours everyday). Plus, I can also use it when I go for my frequent jogs!
2. Speakers for my iPod mini. I want to hear my songs on my MP3 as I go about doing my work in the room.
3. Materials for a handmade white board. I'm gonna make my own white board!
4. A larger shoe bag so I can squeeze in my boots when I go for a run in camp in the mornings.
5. A toiletries bag! To be used when swimming, gyming or going to camp!
6. A black sports watch! I need one for my runs, and also to fit my SMART 4.
7. A street directory so I can find all the locations of good food stalls with my current Makansutra book.
8. An umbrella. Obvious reasons.
9. Sit-up mat.
10. A silent alarm clock. I hate clocks that go tick tick tick. Super noisy in the night.
Actually there's more things I want to buy, but seeing that humans have unlimited wants and limited resources (money), I don't think I should bother listing down everything.
Anyway, as soon as my hair's back, I'm gonna be vain and all again, so shopping's definitely gonna take up a lot of my time!
Right now, I'm trying my best to make good use of my time!
Reading tons.
Trying out new things.
Talking to people.
Working out.
There's so much more to do!

19th Birthday And So Much More!
It's a long overdue entry and I'm gonna make it a long one, cause I simply have so many things to write about.
And sorry about the lack of updates! Will try to update more often!
25 March was my birthday and Wei Liang, Jessica, Wei Yuan, Kai Quan and Yi Fan came to "surprise" me at home. Well it was not actually much of a surprise when they called me beforehand to tell me to stay at home from a certain time.
Nevertheless, I had great fun! Although it pales in comparison to last year, it still was touching to see friends making the effort to celebrate a day that is unique for me.
Here are some pictures!

Wei Liang is very high.

Making my 19th wish!

Irritating!

Even NSMan can find cake hard to cut.

The birthday crew!
Then at night, my ex-class S13 celebrated a double birthday party for Kenny and me!

At Village, the Marche copycat.

They tried to cheat me, told me that mango cake was a cheesecake, made me sweat a lot.

Birthday guys.

Blow candles!
I quite missed my dear OG21. Honestly, we are quite far apart now. It's been months since we had a fun outing like we had so oftenly in the past. Is my faith in long term friendships misplaced?
Well, I'm gonna try holding on, because I believe friendships despite not being in the same school or workplace is possible. If not, what will happen to us when we go to the workplace next time? Will our social lives crumble because everyone would start to forget their old friends?
The 2/4 clique of Sin Kuan, Wei Yuan, Wei Liang, Chee Wee, Xiu Ming, Pristine and Sin Yee is an inspiring example of how friends can stay together despite distances. We always looked forward to our next outings and I really really feel very comfortable hanging out with them. Well should I say that whenever we gather, we are out to have fun and we are not stressed up about the outing being not-so-fun.
I have been posted to Gloucester Camp as Regimental Police, which is an ultra slack job. The only complain I have is I must wake up super early and travel all the way to Ayer Rajah to fall in at 7.45am every morning. But still, I love this job because of the sheer amount of free time, the minimum responsibilities and the people we have there.
I had a nightmare just yesterday of being posted away. I know the possibility of being called back to Jurong Camp (which I need to stay in)is super high. But I really hoped I can be there till I ORD.
Don't think I would be wasting my time there. Well, there will be lots to do. I will study up on my university courses, learn about finance and investments, read tons, do fitness in camp and so much more. Plus going home everyday allow me to socialise with my current friends (I recently found out I can't do without female friends, it seems).
But weekends have gotten miserable without the sheer amount of friends in school in the past. It's easy to plan outings last year because we meet each other so often and could just agree on something instantly.
But now... I really miss those times. I wanna go out so much with so many people.
I miss so much so much in my old life. But in life, we have to always move ahead. I'm definitely an improvement from my old self. So it's not all bad.
And yep, bored me called Wei Liang and Wei Yuan to KBox today and I nearly fell asleep towards the end.
I realise to have fun at KBox, you must have:
- A "high"
- Knowledge of tons of Chinese songs and lyrics
- Good singing techniques
But still, it's better than staying at home!




We had, as usual, 4 rounds of DOTA after that, after which not very sporty me went home and did some jogging. I complained I had work tomorrow and I didn't want to be drained.
Actually, I'm just affected by my sudden drop in social life. I'm feeling soooo lonely.
Geez, I sound so pathetic.
