I HATE CAPS

Monday, November 30, 2009 10:45 PM

(10:12 PM) .:Ðickson ™: being a friend, of course you defend your friends.
(10:13 PM) {brian}: i don't need it.
haha
(10:13 PM) {brian}: but then, another point
(10:13 PM) {brian}: tell me, does it matter, do you care whether she, me, or you is a nerd/emo?
(10:14 PM) {brian}: lol,. nvm
i don';t want to dwell over this mess.
(10:14 PM) .:Ðickson ™: that's what YOU think.
(10:14 PM) {brian}: i see.
thanks.
(10:14 PM) .:Ðickson ™: YOU think it doesn't matter.
(10:14 PM) {brian}: i'm just analyzing this situation
(10:16 PM) .:Ðickson ™: it's okay then.
(10:16 PM) {brian}: somehow, someway, that conversation was somewhat beneficial.
~

spent the night in msn seeing a couple of people fight or argue over something in msn. haha.
oh well. a beneficial conversation i must say. it's like psychology.

it's very interesting, try inviting ppl en masse to a chat in msn and see them argue.
you can see how the human mind in society works.

well, good night.

stale decision, mate

2:34 PM

I hate people with undecided decisions.

The owner asks a patron in a restaurant,

"Sir, Are you eating here?"

"Maybe I'm eating here...I don't know? My friend said he's not eating here."

"So... are you eating here?"

"I don't know. I thought he was coming to eat with me"

"Sir, do YOU want to eat here?"

"Maybe."

that's just screwed up in 2 ways.

tsk.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination

dinner no dance? oh please...

Sunday, November 29, 2009 9:33 AM

dinner and dance was... meh.

just dinner...

wore black to school.

black sj shirt, black pants, black boots, black socks, black bag, black uniform cover.

met xinpeng at the bus stop.

throughout the bus she was laughing at the idea of wearing boots with formal wear.

grr... :/

saw bernice at the bus too. busy facing the window.

killjoy... just killjoy. i was muttering this occasionally under my breathe.

even beyond that point occasionally.

reached at raffles marina.

lol.

we all expected some sort of place by the name

"raffles" to appear in the city.

for instance, "raffles city", "raffles hotel".

but no lol.

it was at tuas.

at least it was grand and faced the straits with yatches.

(goddamn rich assholes)

the tuas checkpoint was right next to it, haha.

changed into full u.

we stumbled upon a sir

(don't remember which appointment/rank, but it's really high)

anyway, I couldn't get hold of stability.

got myself 1 drink!

another drink!

and a chip.

aisj took photos like we were tourists.

we went up to the ballroom.

blahlah blah. talking and talking.

and changed into formal wear. + boots! haha.

noone noticed the boots and it didn't really matter

beat that!

bleh.

ok, then it was time to go home.

could stay any longer for the dance section.

the food was great.

really really.

and i had like 2-3 drink with quan en.

we had to go to the restrooms, haha.

we took the bus to yishun.

i saw 811 at the bus stop.

wow, just nice.

but then it terminated just right into the interchange.

-.-

i want my 45cents back.

anw, waited for the bus.

then went back home.

sleep.

the end.

not so grand night. meh.

couldn't see any charlie's there.

only bravo and alpha. *sulk*

I hate maths. I solve problems like what is beauty. For instance, what is beauty? The answer, is a gun.

snippets from BNCOC

Monday, November 23, 2009 10:42 PM

Day 1:

i was walking with my father to the kathib MRT station, i was going to camp and he was going to work.

the night sky was clear of clouds and i could see some stars. that was the last time i looked at the stars, just for now.

>>>

the school was filled with band music and chatter.

had the camp started? no.

when they start to scream when we fall in, that's when the camp starts.

>>>

i realised, why don't we just put our belongings in a line instead of within our lines?

it's like, do you want to lights some fires in a line of tress or lights some fires in a separate area?

>>>

it was Bunk In a they asked for a volunteer.

i volunteered... and i became Bunk I/C

>>>

"everything we ask you to do has a purpose.

for bunk in, the role of an i/c is to make sure everything is standardized.

everything including dust must be taken for.

because in the workforce or in the future, as a leader, every small detail counts."

>>>

they ask whether the course i/c should sign all nights extra or all bunk i/c's sign one night extra.

bunk I/Cs and I chose the latter, we were called 'heroes'.

but we are humans with a heart, what else are we supposed to do?

>>>

"you are all a course, standardize your timing. we shall now follow nan hua corp's timing"

>>>

on the first night, i slept, and i woke up.

this cycle kept on 3 times throughout.

when i woke up at , i couldn't tell whether i had slept or i had woken.

>>>

they woke us up for some night activity.

not so scary.

they woke us up for fire drill.

not so scary. but night activity was better.

>>>

Day 2:

my personality was Stable and Careful.

i should work at my own pace, and then i realized i've to do a flyer...

>>>

i've learnt how to eat chicken wing in different situations.

with a plastic fork and spoon.

with a metal fork and spoon.

with my hands.

>>>

i was calling other bunk I/Cs to take the keys from me.

some asked where to get keys from.

some asked whether we need to return them.

>>>

"because we are cut for time, your theory test starts now. instead of 1 hour, you have 40 mins to do this. i believe you only need 20 mins max."

>>>

i was so sleepy, all so sleepy.

when i looked at the RO,

i wasn't course i/c,

i wasn't section i/c.

however, i had night duty.

>>>

this is surreal, they want us to wake up.

my mind wants to sleep but i'm not supposed to think.

this is surreal, as i lay my head on the table to sleep.

the next moment i was up for a shift.

this is surreal, i'm standing here in this post

i've no watch, what time is it?

i can't sit, all i could was walk and stand.

all i could see was a funeral at a void deck.

the night sky was full of clouds and i could see no stars neither did i notice the moon.

>>>

i returned to the bunk after i've changed into pt kit.

i wanted rest in the bunk with the lights off.

when i reached to the floor to sleep, lights on.

>>>

Day 3:

i really get distracted easily.

i really get sleepy easily.

during master parade, my eyes closed on me

during moi first aid, my eyes closed on me.

i washed my face, my eyes closed on me.

i drank water, my eyes closed on me.

we had phototaking in full uni, my eyes closed on me.

i need some sleep, really really.

>>>

we planned a performance for campfire.

and my group allowed me to sleep.

i slept quite well for a short time.

i drooled, yi xiang told me that when you drool, you are really tired.

i was, really really.

>>>

i forgot to mention

course i/c had a distinct personality and enjoyable to hear.

after they changed course i/c, we already knew his name: Gregory.

>>>

campfire was enjoyable.

we were one course. trainees, trainers, officers.

we had one voice.

we woke up some people :D

>>>

i wanted friendship dance, haha. campfire should have been longer.

>>>

dinner had the best food.

no chicken wing.

no salty rice.

let's "eat lah".

>>>

during debrief, i and some others were outstanding cadets.

"i hope that you can use the qualities you have shown in this course to your juniors"

CO appointed me course i/c.

bunk i/c + course i/c.

final day, final challenge.

>>>

we all passed bncoc o9' :)

most of us to be precise.

>>>

S2 Advisor must be the most troublesome appointment to shout out.

>>>

I prayed for sleep.

Thank god, thank god i didn't have night duty.

>>>

the previous course i/c briefed me, he gave me a list of strength.

i wanted to write down a separate list, lights off.

>>>

i thought it was difficult to sleep in camp.

no it wasn't.

all you had to do was put your mind at rest.

>>>

Day 4, Finale:

bunk inspection.

i screamed. i ran around.

DM's scream wasn't here, i realized.

and with the help of everyone and the bunk i/c.

we succeeded. we passed.

thanks to all. thanks to communication.

thanks to experience.

>>>

a 'S' personality doesn't like to be shaken.

CO shook me.

>>>

the final parade.

the final bersurai.

the final watermelon :D

"NCOs!"

>>>

do you know how difficult it is the be course i/c?

especially if you've to greet or address S Level officers.

when they are at the most grouchy, and will scold you.

when sooner or later, the whole course will get scolded for time.

because of you.

(note to self: address Cadet Leader as Ma'am)

>>>

Charlie Platoon Sergeant CL Michelle Goh had a final speech and some photo taking.

"with a smile"

>>>

i left the premises.

i took my bags, my stick, my uniform out.

i took Charlie 2 "Charge" flag with me :)

>>>

i took a cab home with thian soon.

i could hear the shouts of bncoc in my head.

when i reached home.

i ran for the toilet.

i used the computer and then slept as much as i wanted.

there wasn't no reverie time.

i was home.

>>>

Post Camp:

BNCOC on overall is a very useful camp.

yes, i survived.

but bncoc was never meant to kill.

bncoc was a training and learning experience.

Here is a tale of a group of distinguished wealthy people.

One night after a grand ball, everyone was leaving the ballroom.

One man broke the golden door nob for the only door out.

Most of the guest were slightly retarded for this fairly simple situation

"Dear god. How do we get out now?"

"Oh, what a waste, the golden knob was particularly exquisite."

"Waiter? Waiter?"

Except for the man who broke the door himself, he said.

"Oh crap, my bad. Now then, Ladies and Gentlement, how are we gonna fucking deal with the situation?"

And he simply took his handphone and called for assistance, for he was a wealthy man with a wealthy mind.

now then, the point of this story is that

We people should stop making a useless fuss about any situation.

Instead, we should Fucking deal with it.

A useful lesson isn't it?

Now fuck it, get lost if you don't understand.

meh.

today's comp training was the most dull of them all.

i'm twitching at moments.

i feel pissed.

i'm not gonna blame anyone for pissing me off. tsk.

i just feel like it.

it's not very likely but quite possible to see every different aspect of aiss sjab.
that there would be sides with opposing views.
that lines would be drawn.

i'm not saying it'll happen.
it's hopefully never going to happen, but it's Possible.

anyway

my certs useless. haha.

techno is the f*cking 4/4 beat that makes me jump

techno is the bounce

techno is not human; it is a force

techno is not for nerds, f*ck it.

techno is for the dancers, the clubbers, ravers, deejays.

techno is Underground, never mainstream.

the two npcc funny guys! :DDDD

(aw, forgot their names D: )

more and more and more!

(anyway, Camp-no-Fire)

as heard in BNOC theory phase 1

this is BNCOC, this is a training camp. we are training you to become NCOs.

in your corps you have all yours ranks, but in BNCOC, you are all privates to me

as cadets you would pass, as NCOs you would fail

do it once and do it good!

train to lead!

no personal comment other than the above quotes heard in the camp.

actually. i'm not sure cadets are even allowed to blog what happens inside.

so, i'm playing safe.

all i'm gonna say is that i lost my pencil box.

aw, so sad.

together with the dice.

well that's all i can blog about.

yawn. more comp trainings.
