Enlistment Eve Special
no la, actually nothing special. LOL. just bored.
think i'll knock off at 12. wake up around 640. got to be there by 740.
get up an hour before, have a good hot bath. they dun have heaters in tekong.
and there i go, to tekong. to begin my, rite of passage, to be a man lol.
alot of female friends ask me if i am scared or nervous or what ever.
i reply them i cant wait for it, a little anxious and excited about it thats all.
and they are like, why? u are the first guy i heard this from blah blah.
reason is simple.
i believe we have to prepare ourselves mentally for any journey in life.
have the correct mind set before we embark on that journey. in a case like this.
hell, if you have 2 balls, or 1, and a normal penis, you gotta serve your time.
so why not, instead of counting down to enlistment day by whining,
crying father crying mother snuggling up to the girl friend and all,
count down by getting yourself mentally prepared in a positive way right.
i mean hey boys, its 2008, its not like during the 1980s or something.
where we hear stories from our fathers, digging trenches on botak hill during a storm.
hide in the trench with a zinc roof over ur head.
next thing u know, someone got struck by lightning.
or like they had to carry a bag full of rocks and chiong here and there.
this is the age where they say, aiya army, slack one la.
even the bloody artillery can pretty much deploy itself.
dun have to like, each leg a few people carry. guys break their legs because they slip.
they "legs" of the gun falls on their legs.
think about it, its way way way much easier and slacked then before.
so yeah, whin about what, do you still use a diaper?
and no i am not trying to act tough.
i have a few bros and cousins who went through it, so i roughly know what to expect.
and i thank them for that. especially No. 1.
yeah, he bought me a few items, check out below --
Black tape = its the repair all, anything loose / torn / whatever, black tape.
Rubber lining for dog tags = Prevents noise when in field.
Army Belt = he got it for me not knowing it was on the list, we have small waist lines.
Zip Lock bags = he got me quite a fair bit of it.
Advices = hell he is one "on" soldier. i could use alot of that.
lotsa funny advices like, if you can do 11 chin ups.
do only 7 at the start cause u need 6 to pass. increase by 1 every 2 weeks.
so it looks like theres progress on report, if not, stay back for extra training.
or this,
sleep in the next morning's attire, saves you changing time.
or this,
eat breakfast straight away run to toilet to bomb,
come out liao, toilet got one long line.
alot of other funny ones la.
alright today's dinner. had dinner at uncle lai's / aunty lucy's restaurant.
i mentioned Califonia Pizza Kitchen aka CPK before if you remember.
its at the Forum, near wheelock place. further down.
today, their chefs made pizzas according to MOG's recipe.
used the flour we brough back from the MOG's outlet in korea.
i mentioned that due to different water in both countries,
the results may be different too. so yeah, we tested it today.
quite good. No1, uncle lai and i shared the same views and preference
between the 3 different pizzas. i ate like one slice each from 6 different pizzas.
a few spoon full each from 3 different salads. 2 pieces of some crab dish.
as in the sea creature with 2 pincers. its really good. new dish. try it tsktsk.
tried out this nachos dish with spinach sauce.
2 different types of spaghetti dishes. one slice of salmon.
1 cup of coffee and about 2 glasses of water. hell, it was quite a spread.
for a while, i just felt like i was back in korea.
now the food is all gone, like just 3 hrs later.
my tummy is like flat already. actually an hr after the meal it went flat.
not that it swelled to begin with lol. i think i would be hunting for breakfast tomorrow.
alright, nearing 12, i shall stop here. take care my good friends.
and once again, thanks for every thing.
your treats your well wishes, everything !!
