First Post - June 15

I don't know when's the last time i've blogged, probably close to 2 years? But whatever the case i'm blogging now cause i feel like it.

The most recent thing that happened was the delay of my NS enlistment. I'm quite a strong person, not physically but mentally. I felt that enduring 2 years of NS will be a piece of cake but the surreal thought of not seeing your family and friends that often was overwhelming and soon prove to be unbearable. But anyway since i'm not enlisting into NS till further notice i'll shall narrate what happen on that fateful day.

Val and Aaron stayed overnight at my house just before the day of my enlistment to help me with the packing of my bag. When everything was packed and we were preparing to sleep, those 2 fuckers have the cheek to ask me sleep on the floor mattress instead of my bed. Its my last day sleeping on my own bed for christ's sake. The next day morning we went to pick up hong, yong and han and the gang head over to pasir ris shopping centre for breakfast. I was so touched that val and yong handed me 2 packs of cigarette each for my NS plus yong borrowed me his watch cause army needed digital and the fucking enlistment letter stated to bring a watch so how the fuck will i know it should be a digital watch.

After breakfast, we arrived at the bus interchange for the shuttle bus to the ferry terminal. At the bus terminal there was this NS man in charge of the queue for the bus. I didn't know where to stand and out of the sudden that NS man raise his voice and asked ONLY me for IC and enlistment letter, i was quite shocked but calm i didn't know how to fucking guai lan him back so i just replied him, "wait ar, i go smoke first" i don't even bother to see how he reacted, i just finished my stick and joined back the queue. The rest of the journey was typical, bus -> ferry -> BMTC.

After changing my 11b, i did a final weight-in and found out my BMI was okay and was not suitable for pes BP so because of this my enlistment was delayed and i "upgraded" to pes B. I called my bunch of friends and told them i wasn't gonna enlist today and we met up back at where we seperated in BMTC. Once they saw me, they immediately ask for the cigarette money and yong took his watch back, how realistic. They were all happy happy sending me off, knowing i have to come back with them and not getting to eat the western food, their face ji tao unhappy like fuck. But i'm touched la, all of them woke up so early to send me off like their dai lo going to peh.

On the other note since i wasn't gonna enlist yet, i was busy with basketball lately. 1 month ago, Val came up with the idea of gathering all our friends to form a team and compete in the preliminary competition for the singapore division basketball. To be frank i was pretty pessimistic about whether the team was gonna make it because of player's committment but i was shock and happy at the same time that attendance was pretty good despite the fact the most players are either working or in NS and they were really serious during the trainings. I'm really looking forward to play for the team in the competition and hope that our players can keep it up with the intense and commitment displayed during the training.

I'm starting work tomorrow in Movida, the club that is just beside Boilers in St James. I'm glad to be back working in Movida cause its quite slack and the pay is pretty good plus two of my friends, Siew Boon and Gabriel is planning to work there so i'm expecting interesting things to happen.

I guess thats bout it, will continue blogging tomorrow. I hope i can wake up for tomorrow's swimming session if not yong will kp i everytime bu shou xin yong.
