October 28th, 2012 "Im One Lucky Son.."



3 Guards 15th Mono Recon Platoon
Five-Four Alpha Recon
Wednesday Night at Zouk
Inside Zouk Smoking Area


Just came back from Kuala Lumpur earlier on today. It's been a slow but lovely weekend with the family this week. Booked out on Wednesday since Rotation 3 is officially starting tomorrow and just had a public holiday for Hari Raya. Hit the club on Wednesday night at Zouk with half of the platoon since I won't be able to celebrate my Halloween weekend in Singapore. Basically drink, drank, dance, drunk! HAHA. I love my platoon seriously. I love what I do! My platoon mates are like the brothers that I never had, we always train hard but we definitely play harder! .. Anyways had to catch a morning bus to KL on Thursday morning straight after a long night of clubbing. After about a 5 hours bus ride, reached my condo at Miharja then spend the day chit chatting with the family around dinner time we went to Petaling Street to shop and I went to pick up my watch from repair then started to rain heavily so we didn't really get a chance to shop around Petaling Street that night, end up just grabbing dinner there at some famous Hokkien Mee Restaurant. After Petaling Street me, mom, dad and 2 of my aunts went to my other aunt Leeza's house to sleep over. Chit chat and sip some Whiskey with mommy until late night then we all went to sleep. Friday was shopping day, we started the day at Pavilion Mall then walk to Lot 10, Sungei Wang, then to Time Square. Bought myself 2 new korean style pants, new shoes (Vans) and a new phone casing for total of RM270.. On Saturday, mom and dad took the kids to Sunway Lagoon to play since they never went overseas before, seriously bring back lots of childhood memories I tell you! But on another note Sunway Lagoon fucking fail seriously, we basically wasted about RM1000 to go swimming, should of just went Genting instead especially since we were debating between Sunway or Genting the night before. Anyways, went to eat dinner at Viva that night, then seems like daddy drank a bit too much and will mommy's temper= chaos. Sometimes I seriously get my temper from them too. Sigh.. Well on the bright side, finally manage to get my long lost childhood friend in KL number, was planning to tell him to come out for a drink and catch up that night but he was busy with some farewell party, oh wells next time! After dinner we went back to Leeza's place to sleep then the following morning rode the bus back to Singapore! :) Anyways mommy and daddy will be driving down to SG tomorrow and should be staying until Sunday so I can spend more time with them when I book out on Friday. This would probably be the last weekend that I can spend with them until I finish army, since they probably won't be able to come back so often after the restaurant is opened. It's okay though I understand where they are coming from, but deep down inside I really wish that they can attend my graduation parade when I ORD at least to see what have I archived in Army in this 2 years. Maybe I'm slowly growing up or I have changed for the better since I got to Singapore but to me now family is the most important ever, I can't wait to go back to the states and be the son that I never was for my parents. I love my parents so much seriously. I couldn't ask for anyone better I think. My mom told mw something that really got to me, basically she told me that family is very important, we should always help each other out no matter what, love and take care of each other, who knows maybe next life we have the privilege of being a family again." Fucking hell almost made me wanna tear up after hearing that! HAHA. Well booking in soon now! Rotation 3 officially starts tomorrow. Turning my soldier mode back on, but at the same time looking forward for the weekend to spend time with my parents! Ciaos.

October 21st, 2012 "Corporal Yoh.. "


Getting TED drunk at Daryl's house.
Corporal Yoh as of October 16th, 2012
Breakfast at Delifrance
Its been a low key week, no party, no alcohol weekend, in other word means save more money :) Last Monday we had our so called "16km" road march, which was really about 20km to think about it, seriously walk until falling asleep. Wednesday went for nights out as usual chill at Starbucks with my Five-Four Alpha and Hong Kuang! Oh yeah, as of 16th October, I got promoted to Corporal with 9 others in my platoon! Woo-hoo! Extra $50 for more responsibilities and doing more shit job. Next up aiming for CFC (Corporal First Class). This weekend was a damn low key weekend, didn't really go out much due to 24 hour sentry duty on Friday which dragged until Saturday morning. After guard duty on Saturday we went to eat Delifrance for breakfast with Alex & Daryl then walk around Tampines after since Daryl wanted to get PS3. After walking around for about 4-5 hours we got damn tired and all went home to get some rest. In the evening after I woke up, met up with Daryl at Sengkang for dinner then just chilled at his house with his $400 TED for the rest of the night haha. Woke up the morning first thing I did was go to Golden Mile to buy my coach ticket to KL next Thursday since everywhere is sold  out due to the public holiday coming up next Friday, then rushed to Skype my mom, had a good chit chat with her, she's flying back tomorrow with daddy and should reach KL by Tuesday. Hope they have a safe flight and see them on Thursday! Hopefully everything is as planned, book out on Wednesday night and spend the weekend with the family! Gonna grab dinner then book in soon, roger out!

October 14th, 2012 "In A Blink Of An Eye.. "

Rave & Me at the dance floor!
Another week has passed, to think about it in a blink of an eye, I've in in Singapore for about 2 and a half years already, 10 months 24 more days til ORD! Starting to think more of what to do after army now. Well anyways I have to say I'm quite happy with how my life is right now, enjoying my weekdays with bunk mates, weekends with my friends. On Thursday was Guards Day and I represented 3 Guards for the Casevac Relay Race, should of won gold seriously, but the last man in my relay team fell towards the finish line and ADF caught up.. Oh wells shit happens, we can't really blame anyone, but we still manage to get the silver medal even though we never practice and prepare for the race at all. After Guardsday, CO gave us half day off and we booked out on a Thursday, went home and rest all the way. Friday went to Phuture with the boys, Jon, Zef, Rave, Yao Jun, Sin and Linus, before the club we went to eat Boon Tong Kee at River Valley Rd, like a not bad seriously, the meat was cooked perfectly. On Saturday, went to meet Keith my cousin at Bugis area, then we went to Kallang to grab some beer and chat, then decided to go to club again, so we headed down to Tiong Bahru, ate a quick dinner at Ajisen, saw my old co workers Jason, Alvin, Fatt and Lily, totally brings back memories of the days of cooking ramen. After dinner, we headed down to Zouk, then ran into Wei Yi & Tannie when I was waiting for the boys to come so they end up joining our group also. The music on Saturday was much better than Friday, some more got Guest DJ from Sweden, "Rebecca & Fiona"! They really made the crowd damn high, everyone was jumping up and down all night. It was a good weekend indeed. It's Sunday now, means book in day, slept in quite late today, didn't get a chance to Skype mommy since her Skype never appeared online but still went to the family house and spend some time with the fambam. Gonna go get ready to book in now! Ciaos.

Another interesting week it was again. Booked in on Saturday night since I had guard duty on Sunday. Then we had Nights Out on Monday night so me, Janvin, GuanSan & Hong Kuang went for our routine at Starbucks and chill the fuck out,  on Tuesday we went for our ATP live firing finally, after a very long day at the range I got my Marksman 30 out of 36! Wednesday was Change of Command parade, for the first time in my life I sit in the middle of all the captains, majors, lieutenant colonels, feels so awkward sitting with them haha. Then Thursday we had a 12km road march followed by book out, met up with Sin when I got home and went to watch Taken 2 together, like a bromance date since both of us are forever alone.. On Friday afternoon met up with Keith (my cousin) to grab a coffee and catch up and went to walk around town and met his friend at the tattoo shop then at night was the main event we were waiting for, Ray's and Yao Jun birthday celebration at Phuture! We basically drink drank drunk through the night but then at the end of the night almost got into fight, luckily I was still sober enough to act like an adult. Saturday was a mega chill night, drank some beers with the boys and Cassy at Holland Village and just chill the fuck out through the night, and of course Sunday was family day followed by booking in. Sort of just rushing through this post since not much mood to write right now but just gonna post this before I get too lazy to post. Ciao.
