Being Operationally Ready

in the mood for some gory pictures? come, let me show you my operationally ready right foot.

broken toe tail due to being too garang. worst thing is that i dun even remember hurting it at all. no pain.

all-weather, all-terrain foot. anytime, anywhere.


more gross pictures coming up after Brunei. stay tuned.

yesterday night was my first clubbing experience and... i dun think i really like it

the company's great and the drinks are nice.. (esp the long island tea) but seriously, i would rather go sit in a pub and enjoy some cool drinks and live band than dancing to the blasting music

Nevertheless, it was an eye-opener. we were there frm 11pm till 4am drinking and dancing to the moves of the mambo king. haha. due to the battalion off-in-lieu, the place is almost like camp with so many familiar faces moving arnd and calling me, "ehhh sergeant!" lol

i see people dressing up to go clubbing like it's some fashion show, bapos dancing on the platform, girls dead-drunk (which is much more unsightly than the bapos dancing) and guys trying to find girls to bua. i think the ugliest thing i see there is guys trying to find girls to bua and some girls happily letting them do it. fucking sluts. there is this particular guy which i really feel like punching. knn go to the dance floor fucking obvious wan to find girls to bua nia. unfortunately for him, we were quite close to a bunch of girls whom he wanted to prey on. so we jus dance and dance closer to him den zhe (block) him from reaching out to the girl. gave him a few elbows too. lol. knn fat fuck face really cannot stand it. but i see the girl oso quite gian wan guys to bua her oso. feel like kicking her.

the air inside is damn bad. air-con filled with smoke. standing near to someone with a lighted cigarette can really irritate ur eyes. my shirt was fucking fucking smelly when i put it close to my nose after leaving the place. wonder if my windpipe smells the same. other than building your cardio-fitness, clubbing can be really bad for ur liver and lungs. and most imptly, my ears are still numb from the music.

i cant believe that i finished 2 books in less than 2 months!! wahahaha well done

i personally think that The Tipping Point is a better book as compared to Blink although the content is seen as quite dry by some of my frens who had read both. the facts mentioned in the book can be so subtle yet it can make such a big difference in our lives without us knowing it at all. This is a highly recommended book for those who love non-fiction like me. haha

Yesterday was Mid-Autumn Festival. some people like to call it lantern festival. it is a nice day to go out and view the moon. so i was out at Lim Chu Kang live firing area holding the Breaching Safety Specialist appointment. nice big patch of land to see the full moon. my lanterns are Bangalore Torpedos and i started playing with them since 8am in the morning at a knoll that says .78 on the map.

wat does .78 mean? it means the highest point of the knoll is fucking 78 metres above sea level. running up and down 12 times under 30 seconds each time wasn't very fun. Nevertheless, I had to do it cos I am one of the only few SME (subject matter expert) in the battalion on demolition.

the situation became worse at night. i dunno why the mosquitos there are so fierce. apparently they dun like to attack exposed flesh. all the shots i got were on the back and thighs and a few on my ass. i wonder wat kind of training these jungle mosquitos go through to acquire this skill. are they any different from the mosquitos in the city? is life out there tougher? or did the competition from the rest of the mosquito population in the jungle make them more lethal? i caught afew and took a closer look using my SAF-issued torch. it didnt look any different from the ones living at my home leh.

this is also the first time i experience low visibility outfield. it was quite hazy last nite. estimated PSI shld be 100. fucking humid somemore knn run up the knoll so xiong liao now still must sweat running up the knoll. not very pleasant. view on top of a .78 knoll is quite majestic though.

on the brighter side, i think this company live firing is a real eye opener. this is the most ops ready firing i've seen in my 1.5yrs in the army. coordinated fire from 84mm and MG and live rounds flying all over the knoll is the best simulation of real war. we do not see nicely planted positions for u to move towards, u must listen to ur PC in the midst of heavy fire or u might jus die under ur buddy's rifle.

came at 8pm and left at 4am. a good 20 hours of live firing. blood sucked dry somemore. current PSI is 150. cycled at 10am today where the PSI is 120. no wonder pi sai so thick. lol

it's another wkend of overspending... on food again hahahaha.. went out last evening with Gerald, Shaohua and Ben.. initially thot Gerald's fren is coming.. tis girl tat gerald wanted to intro to me.. 18 yrs old nia somemore look very cute and innocent.. maybe cos he's too old cannot take so intro to me.. hahaha.. Zzz in the end oso nv come.

met at Marina for early dinner at Kenny Rogers. ordered Honey-Bourbon ribs and a half chicken plus 3 side dishes which we took Potato Salad, Macaroni & Cheese and Coleslaw. food isnt too bad but dun think will go there often. $18 each

wanted to go Carl's Jr for the Beef Chilli Cheese Fries but was greeted by a full house.. zzz

moved on to Clarke Quay in the night time and Gerald was craving for ice cream so we went into Haagen Dazs and ordered a... Chocolate Fondue. the menu said something like "for sharing with that special someone" but 4 big guys were eating it like some sexually desperate beasts.. hahaha quite orgasmic though. $10 each

last stop was Brewerkz. again we ordered hell lots of food. we had Calamari, Potato Skins, Beer Battered Onion Rings to go with our beer called Dunken Ryzen. ordered another Pizza and a beer sample set to complete the day. hahaha $26 each. they were telling me the waitress was stealing glances at me everytime she walk past.. haha abit flattered cos this kind of thing dun happen very frequently u noe.. somemore i think my companions are better looking than me.. heh

spent a total of $55 on food in one day. cb

Ben, me, Shaohua, Gerald
