helloooo org org singapura.

the battalion frame just arrived earlier today.
bumped into familiar faces while doing escort duty at the water taxi station thingy, namely hilmi and wan from the ol' ite tampines.
abg abg guards siol.
now im just chilling at the officers mess waiting to drive the commanding officer of the battalion to the exercise area.
well it has begun.
the hell period.

hari raya was sad and pathetic.
ive never actually looked forward to hari raya that much, but this year, there was extra incentive not to look forward to it.
iver never teared up as much as i did that fateful morning.
no matter how i tried to be cheerful while calling my mum and grandma, the tears just started flowing sia.
sedih sungguh.
melalak siol.

so anyways we went visiting to all the penghulus houses.
rumah semua besar besar madnessnye.
but the food available was dissapointing.
i miss my mums cooking.
AND THERE WAS NO KETUPAT AND KUIH TAT.
kimak demoralising siol.

but in the end it was ok.
maybe just because of the girls.
pompan pompan brunei semua lawa lawa putih melepak.
mcm nak bawak balik jek satu.

took some pictures but due to lack of equipment, cant upload.
will find a way to.
so in the mean time i want to go and take a nap on the couch.
awda awda taking care ok?

well according to my mum nothing happening in singapore is worth mentioning, except for hady(as i predicted) winning singapore idol, the worsening haze and the opening of the biggest shopping mall in singapore, vivocity. Seems like im not missing much. hooray for dat.

hari raya spells the start of the battalion frame here in lakiun camp. seems like the men from 1st guards is coming here to lay siege on the cicadas, scorpions, horseshoe flies and org iban that inhabitate the forests here. well according the senior drivers/coxswains here, battalion spells 3 weeks of hell. 24/7 work with long nights and even longer days. hooray for dat.

46k is like the slowest way to surf the net.

selamat hari raya
maaf zahir dan batin

cheers

argh the connection here so slow.
knnccb can die ah.

u know the part where i said the last entry was my last?
well aku bidik la.

Here i am in the officers's mess surfing the net for the first time since leaving singapore. Yeap, its been two weeks here and i guess im slowly but surely adapting to life. Things are much more relax here as compared to singapore. It is not big on regimentation but rules are still rules. Kate army.

Perm staff here are all pretty friendly. Since its a small camp, almost everybody here knows everybody. From the signallers, chefs, drivers, training instructors, storeman, regimental policeman, to even the Commander. They all know each others names.

Work here though is pretty intense. Its a 24/7 work schedule, which means working through weekends and public holidays. Only 4 days off are granted per month, and even so most stay in camp to finish up whatever work they have to do. Those who do go out dun really find it worthwhile, taking a 45 minute ferry ride to the main town and spending time in a place where even loyang point might seem like klcc. Thats what they all say though, maybe ill get to go in december.

Oh well i dunt know what else to type, everything is just so messed up in my brain. My mt spec diagnosed me with homesickness. Could say that it is true. After all the shit a working day brings, and im all alone in my bunk, all the faces start appearing in my head. So much so that even when im dialing my home no, my voice starts to crack and i cant even say anything much to my mum.

I miss home. I miss my mum. My dad. My sister. My friends. My bed. My pillow. My computer. My guitars. I miss singapore.
I miss it alot.

see ya soon.
