time to get dirty...and finally be a man!

Firstly thanks to all greetings! Really appreciate them a lot! hahas. Although i could only celeb it in camp....For those who didnt know, heres how the story goes..

Usin tune of purple light

First book in, I was late
Got punished, for being late
Guard duty, on my birthday
WIth my rifle and my buddy and me

So yeah, I had guard duty the whole day yesterday in camp! Haiz. Quite a depressing way to spend it, but wtf! Its over. Guardin Rocky hill was quite an experience too!

Next week goin for field camp!! As one sir said, Time to get dirty, go thru shit...to be a man! Argh. I guess it will be 6 days of pure HELL then. Really gotta go, so i'll see u guys when im back, if im still in one piece! =)

Happy 20th to me!

Have u ever wondered? Why must we serve?

Selemat Hari Raya! 2nd book out in a matter of days. How cool is that man! haha.

Army days man. haiz haiz. Everyday lookin' forward to bookin out. The first 2 weeks to be honest, has been long and difficult. Everyday passes quite slowly, with activities lined up for us every hr, every min. And to think these 2 weeks is the 'honeymoon period'. Since bookin in on Sunday nite till yest book out, had alr did 200+ push ups. To further let us know the honeymoon is truly over.

Worst still, i was late for my first book-in on Sunday! By 5mins. Oh wtf. After that, i got to find out, my punishment was guard duty. On a saturday. So i book out on Sun mornin, book in on sun nite. Thats not all. I dragged my buddy down too. But he was cool with it, wasnt angry or anything, still felt damn guilty la. Damn stupid. To top it ALL off, the guard duty was on the saturday 2 weeks later. yups. 18 oct. Some introduction to the army for me. I think i kena blacklisted by my platoon sgt le. Almost everytime tio something from him.

Seriously gotta buck up!!!!!!

Scott

N.S.

National Slavery awaits me in 10hrs. I dunno what to expect!! o man. Just so sianz. Without my laptop for 2 weeks is just unbearable, i tink. People always say that it will be the best 2 yrs of our lives of somethin, is it really? Im not doubting i wont enjoy, but i just hate the period leading up to it. like NOW. Its just so depressing. And the gatherings these past 2 weeks has been so great. Pics below..

J Y Lee Scott

11 days n countin!

This week officially starts off as a slackin one for me after 3 mths of hectic and non-stoppin' working! Finally...Well it has been an eventful 3 mths. I guess u can see frm my previous entries yea? haha..Thinkin back, abt the different issues i had at both workplaces, I seriously think im not mature enough yet. No, REALLY!

My day job, immature enough to work for my parents, gettin' angry and irritated easily if i made any mistakes. Cant stand getting scolded or reprimanded when i dont do somethin up to their expectations. Impatient and unwilling to learn. And worse off, turn to drinking after that. When will i finally learn to be mature enough to not be so short-tempered? Instead put my head down to actually offer a real helpin hand to my parents? i wanna change. Really do.

My part-time job, made me realise how slow am i, at picking up new stuffs. How long hav i been workin ther? Since like a yr ago? Although i stopped for quite a while in the middle, I ought to have learnt more and be more experienced. But for example, everytime its a full crowd, i tend to get confused and mess everything up. I always need reminding for everything, and needing help for every drink i make. I guess i would have long gone if we werent that short-handed. Add to that, i have had issues with some ppl ther. Do all these factors point to me being ready for the workin world? Hell no. 101% no. I would not survive a day out there.

So fortunately for me (Or NOT!), there is the National Service. Singapore's very own system to make men serve the country. Dont think there is any other country has anything like this especially comparing the duration of it. 2 years. And they say, army's fun, army will change your life, army is the best 2 yrs of your life whr u dun have to think abt anything. I would like to think that it will truly change me for the better, of coz! haha..Perhaps losing a couple of strands of hair is part of the process of 'maturing' too..hahas...Just wanna enjoy my last 2 weeks, and goin in with a peace of mind.

11 days and countin'!!! =)

New look.

Gotten quite sick of my old skin, so decided to change to a simple and easy one. Hope u guys liked it! If anybody is still ard, heeeellllllllllooooooo......hahas.

Anyway, I just got back from Tioman! Cool place, just sit back and relax before army calls. Probably my last chance of steppin out of Singapore, before the government locks me up here. haha..Snorkellin', Full body massage + scrub, Amazing dishes, REALLY cheap drinks, MJ =), accompanied by the blue blue sea and fantastic beach. What more can u expect from a holiday? Absouletly awesome! Ahhhh. Guess I'll not get quite a vacation like this in the very near future. Thanks XT, XL, SB for making this happen! Shall post up some pics for your viewing pleasure once i get them =)

I know. i know. Happy post, yea? It has been ages a less-emo post came up, so....lets see. hmmm. I will just post a video which literally made my week.

"Britain's got talent". Wondered how many of u actually heard of this show before? I seriously think this is like the best reality show ever. It showcases talents. No matter how u look like, it doesnt matter. How great it is if everyone in the world has one talent of its kind, wouldnt that be so cool?

If this doesnt make your day, I dont know what will =) Enjoy! Catch the other performances too if u've got the time. This show really rocks to more than the core.

Dear diary,

Im blogging once now only every week, not cause I dun hav the time. Hell, I stayed at home the whole weekend, no work, just sleeping and doing nothing. Its jus I dunno what to write anymore. I have nothin to confide anymore. Keepin everythin to myself. Sometimes I always think of what my mum said, I have many friends, lots of them. Too many. But, how many are ........................... ? I shall not talk abt this here. Have no wish to. Im slowly fadin away..to nothin but a nobody.

Past week..

This past week has been such a torture to go thru..and i tot last week was worst..

My 'bosses' quarrelled over work. Me and my 'colleague' kept quiet. I didnt noe what were they quarrelling abt. They dun tell me anything. Its always the case. One always being stubborn, the other always shouting, always mentioning abt dying, committing suicide, being worked to death, got this illness, what if got stroke. Im seriously sick of it. Has really been a quiet house since then. Perhaps this is why my bro is still not back yet. I feel like getting out of the house all the time, but on the other hand, i dun have the mood to go out. So I tried to make things right. Talked to him alone, but I still could not solve anything. Totally out of my hands. Only thought a lot. Remember the show i was talking abt? "Money can prove to be a blessing, but can also spell disaster." Its always about money, making money for yourself, for your children. But at the expense of happiness in the family, i rather not. I rather you dun think so much for us, or our future. Just enjoy, retire earlier, and a happy family. But, sad to say..its not that simple.

Ich bin trinken...

Have been drinking a lot this past week. Too much in fact. Even at home, will just pop a tiger and gulp it down.
When i went for football this morning, i got tired so easily, and felt like i lost some agility. hahas..
Drank my week away, thats y it passed so quickly. Another eventful week. Haiz. Wonder u guys have been watching "Tang Xin Feng Bao" on SCV channel 55 lately? Its abt a family, keep quarelling here and ther, over work over everything.
I likened the show to my family currently. Not saying its exactly the same, but alike. Workin for your parents is no mean feat, not as easily as it looks. Always under pressure to NOT to put a foot wrong, to the slightest detail. U get depressed if u do, or even worse, tempers flare. I admit im quite short-tempered at times, esp. while working with your family, tend to flare up even more easily. I cant explain why, its the pressure, or the stress or u are workin for your own money anyway..I really cant pinpoint a particular reason why. And once the argument starts, it is brought back home to dinner, to the next day...Sigh..

我为朋友兩肋插刀,
谁为我 ?

I always help people...
but who will help me??

Leavin..

Sorry if i angered u.
Sorry if i disappointed u.

Guess I deserve this treatment.

Anyway..heres a nice song.

Leavin' by Jesse, hopefully u'll be able to follow the lyrics below.

No courage, no confidence...

For once, I wanna do something to help..My long serving domestic helper whos with my family since im like 9 or 10, has been causing trouble while im in germany..Even my dad, gave up on her..I want to talk to her..what happened? wads causing all these..but when the right time finally came, i had no courage to talk to her..I didnt noe how to...I just dun trust myself anymore..I wanna make something right..but just cant..no confidence in doing anything...Seems like i lost something..my life...I lost my life...just an empty shell now...working my time away..........

L.i.F.e

Whats happening to me?? underperforming at both workplaces..Makin mistake after mistake. Im not angry at anyone..Just at myself. Sometimes although im 'helping' out, am i more of a nuisence than of help? would they be better off without me? At least they are assured of getting it right if they do things by themselves, as she said..Maybe i shld just quit and stay at hm instead of causing trouble to others..

Come to think of it..I really suck at everythin I do. Basketball in pri sch, badminton, football, judo, now work, studies(although i admit im not the most hardworking). Nthg to be proud of. Im really hopeless. I dunno wad to do in my life anymore. Recently this guy auctioned off his life on the internet, hoping to start anew..and got 1+ million dollar bids. im sure mine is worth much less.

And last thing..I wanna mention abt this bunch of con-ners. Money suckers. Whatever u call them. I just wanna say have u ppl not got anything better to do, other than go ard checking here and there, tryin to suck as much money as u can? C'mon everyone knows how rich u ppl are alr..Okie. So u want to check, FINE. Had alr prepared to the smallest detail as to whr the money had gone, u still dun wanna accept, and check till 6-7 yrs back summore..And after that, add up a total LARGE sum of amt. Lemme ask u. Whr is yur conscience. DO u think we can rmb wad happened 6-7 yrs ago? Not to mention small details here and there..There are definitely discripancies..But wad u r tellin us now is u want more than wad we ought to give. DOUBLE of the amount as penalty. Are u out of yur mind? Sick corrupted ******* Anyway, I just hope the time when we decided to give in, u guys can fcuk off and leave us alone.

Military cant come soon enough. ppl say everythin is planned out for u for 2 yrs. prob. these 2 yrs mite be a critical period for me to ponder and think abt my future and life...

Cant take it anymore!!

y do people cling on to the past so much? Some memories are beautiful, but others are painful as well..regrettin what u did or what u did not..just so difficult..im sorry for what i did not manage to do properly..
I know that its an answer which will disappoint..so wads the point? y do i still cling on? its impossible now...Really cant take this anymore..can i just heck care and come clean, and risk losing it..haiz...

Work work..

Had been workin so much this past week!! 7 days straight man..how cool is that...totally drained..People ask, chiong so much for what? Seriously, if u ask me, I dunno. really.

Haiz..Its so difficult..hope I had made the right decision and wont regret it in time to come....Sorry.

Graduate...again..

hahas..second graduation in 1 mth+..Seems like Im more prepared for this one..but still a little disappointed that it did not turn out the way i predicted..
3 yrs just passed us just like that..not to mention 4 mths in germany..This day brought back some memories of the last day the program ended but not as emotional..Dun get me wrong..its was still a sad occasion..leavin all my frenz..but wad was disappointing is that even my own class, only half of them turned up..it mite be the last time we will be meetin in such a big grp, and they couldnt care less..so much for 3 yrs of tgtness and frenship..We dun even have a class photo with everybody in it..I never had one in secondary sch and now even in poly..haiz..but FA is still a great class..great ppl..although troubles were plenty, its all over now..lets forgive and forget yea?
well at least NCG was there so it didnt feel too bad..thank u! Love u guys a lot really..hope that we can keep in contact in the future when we work, when we grow old..Best buds!! Not to forgettin the soccer gang..crazy bunch of ppl..lol..although tep sux, but it brought me this huge bunch of soccer buddies..hahaha..N my cca of coz..judo bros..Da best CCA i have joined in my life..Another huge bunch of bros..Will miss all the crazy trainin sessions over there..
Will miss school life so much! hahas..

Scotty =)

im back...but...

Hey guys im back! Singapore! As much as i hate that fact...i have to face reality and realize its over..The beautiful dream is over..I cant turn back time...



Once Shachin, Dick and me stepped out of the new Terminal 3 on 1st May abt 1630, I went straight to my family and hugged them...as i was really thankful to my parents for giving me this opportunity..Without them, I dun tink I will even have the chance to be so emotional and all..

So...I wondered how my life will turn out to be after comin back? Even the first night felt weird..for the first time in 4 months stayin so far away from Rikson (Rikki and Dickson)..haha..ok that sounded a little gay...

First day we are back, played some football in sch...but somehow din manage to enjoy it so much..Sorta missed the Jahnhall, which is the Sports hall where we played in Deutschland..

Has been living like a dead man since then, just listenin to music, lookin at photos all day long..then realised that so much happened at home when im not around..My bro and my maid...So much!! Its like from Heaven being hit right straight to hell..

Then, is as if I left all my luck behind in Deutschland, the adapter for charging my labby spoiled, so with my LOW batt life..bottom line I cant use my labby at all..haiz..Not only this, when my dad was coming home, he scratched his car...and on the same night, when I was abt to drive out, I scratched the other car...haiz haiz...Was passiert?!?

Today I went to try to get a new adapter, costs S$160...den to top things all off...becoz my cam's LCD screen cracked in Germany, I went to fix it..I bought it just last nov...only almost half year old and still under warranty...They just told me that I have to pay for it...S$284, after Discount! WTF..Its still only half year old! The person still had the cheek to check my record and tell me, "O..u stay in Springside Ave? Den you still have to think so long meh?" Fcuk off la..Stay there big ar..Stay there den can give u all my money la..alda fresse du fisch kopf! Then came home, told them, kena nag by mum again.."told u not to...U just dun listen..."

haiz...im missin life there so so much alr..carefree...total TOTAL freedom..and not only that...I could actually study in my time there too..but comin back..so many distractions..so many of this..so much of that..I sorta knew why my bro stayed in Japan till now..havin no thoughts of comin back at all...he muz be really enjoyin his life in his own way so much..no restrictions..no worries..just restrain self-control at times and u'll be fine..miss it so so much..

Den, with presentations to director and students comin up, and helpin my parents in their company, trainin for napfa, army...how can I take it? This fast pace life..sux so so much...

I wanna live in Mosbach, though its a small little town, it has everythin u need..quiet, peaceful..no worries, and no ppl in the streets after 6pm..hahaha...

And of coz all the frenz there...I said so many times..but i really miss them so much! haiz..

Scott..

Guess this is goodbye...

Since January we have been here...I will treasure every moment for it...

Would like to thank all juniors...U definitely left footprints in my life..no doubts abt it..

And I thank u Sascha,

when I was gettin emotional and crying the other night...U told me this wonderful line..

`Dont be sad its over, be happy beause its beautiful..´

Thanks man.

But it didnt work. Coz I think I cried even harder...hahas..

And to Helen Silvia and Beatrice for this German saying..

`We will always meet twice in life!´
