It was only just a dream...
Maybe I'm a sore loser.
7 consecutive 5-tai missed.
Shot 4 5-tai and 4 4-tai away.
Gamed 3 round in the last game.
From a $30 win to a $50 lost in 1.5 (20/40cents) game.
I admit I gave up.
--
I just don't believe how fast my luck could change.
I know.
I know we win and lose sometimes,
but I didn't believe such bad luck exists.
It's not my largest loss,
But it's my greatest fall.
Surprise I'm still standing,
pardon my bad mood.
I just don't believe.
I really don't!

原谅我
請不要分了以後還記得親吻過的承諾
妳的永久 已不屬於我
默默低頭那時我很多話哽在喉嚨
妳的笑妳的快樂
或許我愛太多想太多
我能感受 他比我適合
愛放了手 我偽裝冷漠
逼妳先說分手
請原諒我
原諒我不成熟
不愛妳是藉口
好讓妳離開我
請原諒我
好想自私將妳佔有
妳的寂寞就給我承受
換妳過更好的生活

I didn't skip a beat.
But the desire got stronger.
Why. Why are we doing this?...
Knowing that fighting is futile,
Waiting is pointless.
--
I'm just being silly.
But I'll still do it,
I will.

I've watched this clip many many times since I first saw it few months ago.
Every single time, I cry.

I won't wanna risk OUR future.
All these talks and rally about how lousy PAP is and how good the oppositions are,
hear them with a pinch of salt,
trust them at your own risk.
But the risk you are taking will not only affect you.
Such government, hard to come by.
As for now, I'll just sit back and enjoy the show.
No day off, no vote;
doesn't turn me on.

I wanna be Jason Tey
The Jason Tey that was still with Txxxx Txx.
--
"Given a chance, who would you wanna be?"
--
I wanna shout it out loud.
But that is not the right thing to do.
You know. I know.
But there is seriously nothing we can do.
--
I am glad enough we are friends (still),
and I really don't ask for more (than what I deserve).
Keep it as that (I hope),
lest we become strangers, (yet) again.

Here without you.
We used to have jaw locks together, now I still have them.
A thousand miles separates.
I no longer need to send you home, even if I have the chance.
Things have really changed.

Internet
There are so many things we can now do digitally and online.
Marketing now has an "e" as a prefix and books an "i".
Social networks are gained through Facebook;
emotions and opinions expressed on Blogs.
Communications are done through e-mails
and conference through Skype.
No need physical networking, dairies, mail-boxes and meetings.
But even if we can "cybersex", we can never procreate online.
Even if we can forecast weather, we cannot change it.
We can have air-conditions, but never a snow-man in the house.
We can watch Discovery channel's programs, but not experience the culture and humanity.
Internet is not everything.
Life goes on with and without it;
more of the latter.

SAFNDP
Yes, the finale of our NS is finally coming;
or at least so we expect.
Everyone's suddenly a good friend of those they need.
Some genuine, some just to reap the benefits.

Study? Not for everyone.
Alex's brother wanted to drop out of school, and he asked for my opinion.
"He should."
Not everyone is cut-out to study, and therefore not everyone excel in it.
But that doesn't mean he's doomed or prove him a failure.
People can be stupid and do well in exams: they're just exam-smart; pure nature.
But most people the other way round: smart, but fail exams
(at least most that I see around)
I never think any one is stupid or retarded; it's just how wisely they use their functioning brain to do things they're born with an instinct to excel in.
Brace yourself, look into the mirror; ask yourself "what".

Everything we have now is a privilege
Never an entitlement.
So never take things for granted, and always be prepared to lose it and go back to square one.
Treasure them when you can have the chance; make full use of them.

COST shoot
In this world, life is never fair.
We did a spectacular 85/90 in the day when the rest struggled and re-shoot countless amount of time.
In the end, there wasn't enough ammo for the night to do any significant re-shoot.
And the lucky us didn't have our targets up and SAW working.
So that cost (indeed) me a re-shoot in August.
-.-
All the waking up at 4am and other nonsense, Zzz...

It's about time!
To start saving and lead a healthier life.
Cease clubbing, less smoking, reduce drinking, stop all the late-night activities, spend less, cut down on mahjong;
Start eating healthy, sleep more, work-out, save up, take up courses, think more and go back to mugger mode!
--
Hypothetical ideas.

What a happening night.
Forget that the company was small
Forget that the guys:girls ratio is like 9:1
Forget that the pitifully small amount of girls are all so conservative
My friend got involved in a police case.
As far as I know, it's thievery.
He's now out on bail and he insist he's innocent.
I have no reason to doubt him.
His girlfriend fainted,
and we had to drag her out of the scene.
My particulars got taken down as witness,
and that sounds like trouble.
(truth is, I was at Phuture and he Zouk, I don't even know where he was!)
They could have went off once they came out,
but they stayed (for whatever reason)and got caught
We could have left and leave no trouble,
but we just persuaded ourselves to stay and help out.
In the end, we had to send her gf back then head home ourselves,
and the cab fare was almost $40. -.-
AND I didn't get to sleep that night.
So here I am without sleep for about 45 hours. Zzz.

I should stop being a wimp.
Stop all these nonsense on my blog;
All these grumbling, granting, and whining.

Because it's no longer a private space.

Stupefied
I hate it when after so long of waiting, so much agony and so deep a wound etched, you come back like nothing happened, and we realize once again that we did it because of misunderstandings.
And I hate it, to know that we still care about each other after so many mistakes and time wasted.
I hate it, when we try to act like we are friends, and pretend that even if we're not, we could be. We've never been, and it's really hard to be. Why did you first not talk to me? Because you know you want a new life, and that new life is impossible with me as a friend.
I hate it even more, to know that the feeling's not faded; not a bit.
And I hate it most, to know that every thing is impossible, and there's nothing we can do.
I don't wanna act anymore like I don't care. I do. I swear. But I don't know why I do. I shouldn't, I mustn't. But yes, I did. And I'm sure we're both now lost and confused. At least, yes, on my part.
What are we to do now? Where are we gonna move on to from now on?
I wanted to move away from you, and I know you too. We were both, for the past few months, determined to do just that. But somehow, we both don't feel like that anymore. We're stuck, we're stupefied.

This is not the first time
Definitely.
We've been through too much to not remember this point.
We always thought we've failed, but we always managed to prove ourselves wrong, then right again. And then we try to prove that we were initially right, but it always turn out that failure is the only true. Then we try hard again to work this out.
Then you say you believe in fate.
So do you believe now that fate is cruel?
Because it brought us together, but refuse to let us be together.
We've tried, I know, we both did.
And I'm guessing we're gonna try it again and again and forever more.
When is it gonna end?
When are we gonna live happily ever after?
Whatever the outcome.

We were both tired, so we parted.
You went off, forget me, had your new life, found someone else;
When you're once again tired, you return.
And there's always that someone waiting there for you...

I tried hard to hate, to escape, to run, to numb, to forgive, to forget.
They all didn't work.

I don't know why the fuck did I wake you up for because I'm pretty sure I can handle it myself.
But I just don't wanna be so lonely when I'm in such a state.
I know you won't mind, you always do the same.
Sorry.

Best Friends.
I'm really glad that I have so many good friends around; so many of them qualifies as my best friends...
In fact, you all are.
When I need a shoulder to cry on, I have Kaung, Rex or Andy.
When I need a drink to drown my sorrows, I'll readily have Jingyi and Kangster by my side.
When I wanna just have a meal and kill time, I can alway rely on Junyang or Brandon.
When I need an escapade, I have my second homes at Alex's or Alvin's.
When I need companies to spend my time with, I have Chinboon and Jingwei.
When I wanna catch a movie, Zachary and Shamin will always find time for me.
When I feel like talking cock with someone, I have Daphne and Calene.
When I feel like clubbing, I have the gang of wild commandos to go crazy together.
When the time calls for some mahjong, my addicted bunch of cousins are ever ready for action.
When I wanna discuss important issues, I can always confide in my brother and sister.
When no one's there to eat at the cookhouse with me, Chirst and Aaron (my two "runners") will be.
When block leave comes, Kangming, Ben, Karwee and rest of B-team never fails to insert some time for Karaok or basketball.
When time calls for it, I have my VJ team mates to go wild with (though I'm the first to KO!).
When the festive seasons draw in, I have the z-brothers and night-gang to celebrate together.
When the random mood comes, W&D are always ready for a stayover cum hangover.
When I feel like laying back and relax or engage in beach sports, I have the STG.
When I needa study, I have the 3 rebelspies (at least in the past!)
When arrangements are met, BoBz gathers to catch up old times and lame jokes.
When the weekend comes, not to forget the existence of SC7.
Some may have drifted, some moved on with their own life, but the memories always remain, the laughter always linger...
It's difficult to rank;
You are all special to me in some way,
important to me in every way.
In fact, you all are.

'Why?'
I'm finally answering it.
Geeks don't smoke.
Maybe it's because I don't want others to find me geeky.
I just wanna be special, different.
I want to surprise, be unthinkable.
That is really the reason.
Not that it's cool. It's really not.

Fantasy
I admit myself fantasizing about you sleeping by my side; us living together, having our family, our romance; happy ever after. You, who have proven a mistake. You, who I once and always love so dearly. You, my first affection. You, always so close, yet so far...
13
I saw young boys and girls at the age of 13
I have loved her from then to whence I am now
What contrast; what difference
What time have done...

Flawless Imperfection / Flawed Perfection
My girlfriend should be smart with confidence, witty with intelligence; strong by will, gentle by nature; pretty from surface, beautiful from within.
But no such person exist. Some around me are near the flawless perfection, but most are at the opposite end.
God is fair.

Already. Gone.
I wanted to move on,
We were meant to say goodbye...
You're already gone;
It doesn't matter.

LKY's a free thinker too!
While filling up the Casualty Card for CSM, I asked him what religion is he in and he said just put Buddhist. He told me it's important, during a job interview, to have faith in a religion and it gives you an upper-hand.

HuRRicane
So it was Xi Men Ting then Jiu Fen, Shi Lin and Wu Fen Pu. Ji Pa, Nai Cha, Mee Sua, etc etc. Spent all my money just right, though I drew out some and almost used my master for something crazy. Didn't manage to find time for Dan Shui and 101 though. Same thing, not much has changed since the last time I was there. The only difference is the Taiwan clubbing experience (Ye Dian as they call it). Went to Room 18 on the first night but skipped the more famous (or infamous) Lava cos of headache on the second while the rest went. Two night in a row is good enough, three's a crowd. Not a bad experience if you don't count that I could have gotten in free with the addition of a tie (I was already in a shirt), and forget the Tim Chow incident, and erase the memories that I did all the stupid and funny things and got the Taiwanese girls to be more open.
But seriously, not a bad clubbing experience at all! =]

Milestone
It marks the start of something more than an end.

That was probably the longest trip I went away from home.
I like that idea of an experience.

Back to Singapore!
Anyone missing me?!?!
Ok, this is the last post so that it'll appear on the top.

Back to home, and the first thing I come to know is the air con being spoiled. How am I supposed to survive in this hot weather when I've been adapted to the cold in Taiwan for one whole f**king month! The temperature there is even colder than over here with my air con on. Now this sucks.
But then again, I cannot be a comfort soldier; I have to face the weather when I book in anyway. And talking about being a good soldier, the first thing I did even before unpacking my stuff was to go for a run! Good huh; that's what Redcon 1 does to you. =]
--
And the second thing I was informed of next morning, is that both my siblings brought new executive condominiums nearby! Rich or what?!?!?! But I like!!! Though I won't get to enjoy much considering myself staying in the hostel then...
--
And the next good news is, sis did not cancel my old phone number! And that means I don't have to go through all the hassle to change my contacts on all the important sites. Good grief! XD

NDP, here I come!!!
I was almost late for book in last year because of the NDP parade; now I can imagine where I'll be this year.
No need for camo on!!!
Though the BCU winner is not out yet, according to trust-worthy info, no one has gotten Redcon 1 for both stages of ATEC; so, who's there to compete with us?!?!
We're the history man; did you know, the last time CDO has got a Redcon 1 was in 2002! That's like almost 10 years ago!
10 years down the road, we're gonna tell people we're the 25/8 batch that broke the tradition of a downward cycle and bring the Bn to a new height!
Not that I'm boasting, but I really am proud.
For Honour and Glory man!
And though the results for BOC is not confirmed, I really think we stand a big chance to win and I really want the Panthers to win it! It'll definitely be a memorable gift...
--
That aside, it's still gonna be damn busy with live shooting, unarmed combat, roping and repelling, combat jump and also XFT; not forgetting that I have my other commitments like lessons, scholarship affairs, maybe kruv manga, and duties!
It hasn't ended, and it's only gonna get more exciting!

Redcon 0.5 hotel?!?!
BUT WTF! Are these the kind of hotels you give to a Redcon 1 Battalion?!?!?
It's practically lousier than the 1-star hotel opposite -.-
Two big-sized guys to one queen size bed?
Thanks.

Bn EOF Dinner: REDCON 1!!!
We're still the BEST!
One night of craziness with loads of alcohol, singing, cam-whoring, pole dancing and BREAST-to-FACE RUBBING (for some)!!!!
We have long waited for this day to com, since the very first day of BMT.
Life hereafter is then the real, true-blue battalion life!!!

Mission 3: A Blur Heaven
Due to my fever, I didn't even attend the Ops Order or rehearsal, so I practically know nothing about this mission.
Walked more than 10km (the last 1km is much more tiring than the previous 9km, I swear) and it reminds me of Brunei's Biang.
47 and 4M got contacted by 3 x BTR (as per last mission) after we broke off contact with the main body and the CMTs got off wittily. The two of us had to hide in the bush in awkward positions for more than 30mins, only to find that the enemies left after 10mins and after that it was all our own empires (-.-); it made me feel like a special force though, avoiding detection at so close a distance.
Anyway, Panthers at 1A reached "objective" (I'm still not sure if that's where they were supposed to go) without enemy but got contacted by BTR in the morning and when 47 and I went to the area, we had a total of seven (not casualty) but FTF fighters. (WTF!!!). We still managed to defend though, and I almost fired a shot (twice actually) only to realize it was friendly forces chit-chatting above us and in the other case, umpire snoring. -.-
And the whole mission dragged till 1pm when we all expected it ti end by 7am.
Finally, 48 gave the instruction to "Heaven now"
That is the real Heaven that we all have been waiting for. Long awaited...
And so, ATEC ended without me firing a shot;
not a shot in Taiwan actually...

Mission 2: Lucky or not
Move-out timing postponed by half a day cos of admin issues,
H-hour changed and enemy didn't get the tip-off, so their activities increased many-fold just before the time for our initial H-hour (we were still bashing near LS at that point of time)
Though we had to camo twice and stay at a cold Ferrari (when we were supposed to withdraw when the cold comes in) and worst, we met the rain; the mission was a success (in my POV, I think it was too messy; we ended up have to make our own way back to the WPS because we got stuck with the BTR and couldn't receive reinforcement)
Anyway, generally we thought others did better though our coy's SRTs are the only ones not caught, but we all ended up with Redcon 1 for this mission.
Not bad, Bn!

Mission 1: Legend
Cold Ferrari
Legend: FIBUA without casualty (first time in history)
5 men team to clear objective (with my P90 going into action)
Broke contact, no duff injuries, lost chocolate bar, dropped NSEA, misplaced magazine, forgotten RAI, missing thunderflash... but all found and retrieved
Still... REDCON 1!!!
The only company with Redcon 1 for 1st mission actually.
1st Coy: 2B (mission failed)
2nd Coy: 2A (sustained 18 casualty)
3rd Coy: 2A (Coy wiped-out during withdrawal)
Best Ops Coy?! I really wanna get it!

Comms parade and POP and everything about ROC
That's all you see on Facebook now.
It sucks, I don't get to have a taste of commissioning.
I'm really missing out a lot, and I don't like that.

Nostalgic Taiwan
Last time to Taiwan, I wanted to forget her.
This time, we're friends.
But I want to forget another her...
I can't believe after so long, she's still stuck in my mind.

Some responsibilities are hard to shirk; and when they finally come and the expectations set in, you stress out and crank.
"Good job Jason, just that people don't respect the rank"
It's been a long time since I've received praises (last time, it was the same person) and this one, I'll humbly accept, for it comes at great costs.

Nights out in Taiwan!
Rural experience.
Food tour.
Clubbing gang.
Nothing compared to the REAL night (sneak) out!
But still, it's weird to have such arrangement.

What the Taiwan?!?!
"Notice the leakage of electricity"
and the cold water with red marking and hot water with white one.
and the water that doesn't heat up every fortnight and doesn't even appear few times a week.
and all the other weird translation of English.
LOL

Heartwarming
Before I left or the airport, Shuan text me to check if I've woke up for the flight. I thought he wanted to send me but he replied: "no la, I scared you oversleep then never go". Not bad.
After the second mission while resting, the whole company was suddenly looking for me to make a phone call back home. I thought something serious happened but it turns out that dad and mum were just worried that I haven't called home for quite a while. I never did when I'm overseas, not the first time. But anyway, though I never say so, sorry mum, to have made you worried.
CSM saved me!
The pole was falling directly above me. He held on to it, but it was too heavy and he couldn't support it, so it fell and he cut his finger on the concertina wire. Thank god he swayed it sideways or it would have hit me...
