the last stand
6/19/2005 07:30:00 pm

gonna book in soon. so i took e opportunity to have a little more fun. went 2 play soccer 2dy at css there. kennard called me at 1 say they playin at 2. i came at 3... he was there alone. e rest still nt yet there. while we were waiting 4 e rest we talked... more like a conversation between 2 best friends who met after a long time away (which is pretty much e case here). heck it. why izzit tt we r so similar in many ways? damnit. like brothers. heh. no wonder we were like if we were to be gay, wed choose each other. but i guess bein same in some instances are kinda bad. hahaz. damnit.
e games were pretty fast paced. oh man,. how i missed playing on concrete. my skills came back 2 me as if i was david webb remembering his life as jason bourne. flicks, and slick tricks galore. haha. but kinda disappointed tt conceeded 2 goals in e 1st game. e 2nd game was better. assisted 1 goal den scored e golden goal. haha. trademark curler off e far post. cheh. time check 6. still got time. haha. if one ting ns has tot me is to appreciate every moment i spend outside wif friends n family. squeezed in dinner at mac den accompanied ken to cut hair. haha. basket. he can relli convince ppl one. wth? if i follow him, he ll send me back in taxi. haha. great offer if u ask me.
and now, e time has come to go back to tracom. four more weeks of training... 33 days to go. haiz. OCT here i come. cheh.

its over
6/11/2005 08:31:00 pm

got back to where i was to see its now a different place
confronted all the people i didnt want to face
why wont they leave me alone
why cant i just stand alone

what am i doing here, what's my goal?
it's me against the messed up voices in my brain
like i just missed the last train
im left standing, the silence deafening

i'm lost and confused
left stranded and feeling stupid
why did i come back when i knew it was no use?
lightning don't strike twice, neither does cupid

snorting some coke and sniffing some glue
seriously considering making the next dose a triple
i cant quit doing these things
neither can i forget you

going beserk, i scratch your name on the wall
over and over, like a broken record player
reality strikes hard, i begin to fall
kneeling down in dejection, i realise... its over


girl's 1st time
6/11/2005 10:26:00 am

It's your first time.
As you lie back your muscles tighten.
You put himoff for a while searching for an excuse,
but he;refuses to be swayed as heapproaches you.
He asks if you're afraid and youshake your head bravely.
He has had more experience,
but it's the firsttime his finger has foundthe right place.
He probes deeply and you shiver;
your body tenses;
but he's gentle like he promised he'd be.
He looks deeply within your eyes
and tells you to trust him - he's done this manytimes before.
His cool smile relaxes you and you open wider to give him;
more room for an easyentrance.
You begin to plead and beg him to hurry,
but he slowly takes his time,
wanting to cause you as little pain as possible.
As he presses; closer, going deeper,
you feel the tissue giveway;
pain surges throughout your body
and you feel the slight trickle of blood as he continues.
He looks at you concerned and asks you if it's too painful.
Your eyes arefilled with tears but you shake your head and nod
for him to go on.
He begins going in and out with skill but you are
now too numb to feel him within you.
After a few moments, you feel something bursting within you
and he pulls it out of you, you lay panting, glad to have it over.
He looks at you and smiling warmly, tells you, with a chuckle;
that you have been his most stubborn yet most rewarding experience.
You smile and thank your dentist.
After all,it was your first time to have a tooth pulled.
Naughty, Naughty... What were you thinkin?

Monday
1st lesson was PT. wat a great way 2 start e week man. heh. luckily, FI tony took us instead. den oni did warm-up. after tt he talked wif us until raj took us. funny... raj seemed a little bit too friendly towards us. he told us tt we're e drill demo squad again. supposed 2 perform on e prepcourse direct enlistment day. throughout e prac, he didnt even pump us sua! haha. and 2 tink he made e guys do 20 diamonds 4 e slightest mistakes last time round. e mess was screening 'shutter' at night. lesson was cancelled so relli wanted 2 go n watch. but damnit, had drill prac again at night.
Tuesday

Sunday, June 05, 2005
spurr of e moment kinda poem. crap.
6/05/2005 04:43:00 pm

There is a girl that I know who lies on hot coal
knowing she should burn but complains she’s cold

She’s the girl who fell in love with a boy
Says the heart brakes easier when he’s 300 miles away

I told her she is the bad love song on the radio
The one that keeps playing, always when I want to forget

But she shook her head laughing, Saying “Loves songs
Will consume me but they’ll never set me free”

To me she’s my love song, but to her
She’s a supporting actress in her best friend’s soap opera

If I ask her and she’ll tell me, she’ll close her door
Leave her bedroom windows open, waiting for me to find a way in

She won’t admit that I love her, she sees me as her best friend
But she keeps telling me, and I don’t want to listen

That she’s in love with a friend
When I ask why she won’t go for it with him

She’ll whisper in the phone to tell me a secret
“I’m with him now the way I want him."


what is me?
6/05/2005 04:38:00 pm

i viewed myself through a mirror,
and saw a light shimmering.
not good, not bad,
maybe neutral,
run by pure fury,
hiding deep beneath my eyes,
that isn't known to anyone at all.
in this place nothing matters,
only this light that has survived,
when everything else was cold.
no shock bothers it,
no darkness distinguishes it,
no glare stops it,
it's alive...
it's me,
this extraordinary side of me,
the question is what am I?


Saturday, June 04, 2005
back 2 skool
6/04/2005 11:43:00 pm

went back 2 jjc 2dy. haha. after like 3mths. lots has changed. no more container rooms sia. wat telah happen?
took my a lvl cert. man, it looked good. but i guess it cld haf been nicer. A B C D. haiz. ohh well.
played soccer wif e police guys of jj and e arts guys. woo, i scored a goal. a solo effort. haha. exactly wat i needed. dribbling 3/4 of e 'd' n placing e ball in e net. haha.
den we went 2 my kampung 2 eat, another ting i hadnt done in a long time. man e food there is simply superb. decided 2 go watch e soccer match at kallang btw singapore n malaysia.
dunno wat got into me but i invited my mortal enemy- my brother along. aack! wat was i doing. ohh well, wat goes arnd muz come around... i hope.
e atmosphere was kinda lacking. 18000 ppl. less den a hundred malaysians including my cousin, who had 2 endure much of our slurrs. there was this malay aunty who throughout e match was pretty much animated as she kept hurling curses as tho she was some avid soccer punter. haha. even her child didnt prevent her from 'enjoyin' e match. heck, i learned quite a few new words.
e match was kinda exciting but i was more distracted by e 'attack of the moths' tt was playin out simultaneously at e stadium. no, it wasnt a new movie. or a documentry. id say it was e moth mating season. a million? i dunno... seems a fair estimate had gathered arnd e 4 towering floodlights. some creeps even decided 2 divebomb at e spectators. literally falling down frm e sky as if in a trance after mating or getting electrocuted. damn. almost made us leave e stadium at 90mins. luckily, sadiq n me bro talked us out of it. or we wldnt haf seen e 2nd goal.
singapore has improved as a soccering nation. 2010 looks less of a dream. hmm, were gonna be 24 by then... who noes...
on e way back 2 kallang, saw an accident involving 2 taxis n 2 mercedes, a pile up. haha. stopped 2 take pics... haha. den saw muhammad who actually saw it happen.
got home by taxi. wierd, i was pretty generous today. gasp. ive been brain washed!
reached home den took a little nap b4 i was woken up by my bro to go midnight shopping. haha. fun. saw a ferari n lamborghini. lots of chicks too.


Friday, June 03, 2005
another week down
6/03/2005 11:03:00 pm

Sunday
to treasure somethin, u 1st haf 2 loose it. yea... most of e time, u realise this wen its 2 late. learn it e hard way, i guess. juz recently, heck, today even, a squad mate of mine passed away. abang rib-to-the-bone Zul met wif an accident at arnd 1 pm as he was on his way 2 a wedding at teban gardens. apparently, he was released 4rm duties earlier in e mornin ( he was supposed 2 remain on duty 4 some charity shit till 4 in e evenin) and oc told him 2 go back 2 relax. so he took e opportunity 2 go 2 e weddin. sigh. this dude is a real hell rider. a pro biker. but i guess, like my uncle, overcofidence killed him. he was tryin 2 catch up wif e gang wen he hit a truck. he got pinned underneath n died instantly.
i received a call at 1.30 frm sa'eed tellin me wat happened. kinda surreal actually. didnt belief a word... then again, tts how it is wen u hear news u dun wanna hear.
reality struck a chord wen i booked in at night. e once happy-go-lucky squad11 was damn sober and quiet. no one was in a mood for any crap or fun 4 tt matter.
at roll call, we were e 1st there. i didnt want 2 fall in. id rather sit down against a pole looking dejected. herrizad 4rm sq 10 helped me up n comforted me. damnit. zul was our best member. e senang hati guy who always scans e mess for e regulars. e guy who made famous e 'love eh' phrase.
at night, we had a little prayer n rememberance tingy. e alpha squads even gave some condolence money.
so i guess i gotta give a thanks shout out 2 all e ppl who sent their condolences in any means and all e friends who gave comfort 2 me n my squadmates during this tryin time.
e hardest pt of it all was us constantly reminded tt life has to go on. tt we haf 2 forget it happened, heads up.
Monday
e day started as how yesterday ended. yep. solemn n with thoughts making the air heavy. PDT was cut short as we had 2 attend e funeral. wen we came back, oc came 2 meet us. his words proved 2 b a tear-jerker. wat he said was infact vndicated by e newspaper report on zul. his's mom had said tt zul's dad had bought some biscuits n stuff 4 him 2 bring 2 camp. but it was sufficient 4 a few ppl. so he asked 4 more as he wanted 2 share e lot wif us wen he booked in. but he passed on b4 he could share it wif us. his mom had passed us e stuff wen we went visiting. emotionally, tt was juz priceless. to realise how much e squad has bonded. in oc's words, we are now and forever an incomplete jigsaw puzzle.
Tuesday
drill test 2dy. haha upset ah. i did a total suicide wen it came 2 my turn. heck, put it simply, i screwded up. dun wanna elaborate. nuff said. but i did pass tho. lol.
Wednesday
PDT was super fun 2dy. haha. had sparring, n well, it was fun. i had 2 sparr wif jonathan. tt idiot whacked my thigh wif e t-baton. ouch. yea, hurt like fuck.
later on we played soccer wif e fis. i was in e fi team. damn, leg pain oso still had 2 play striker. upset man, didnt score a goal. back 2 square 1 id say.
Thursday
PDP was finally here. my duty 2dy was 2 guard chij sec skool. haha. chio bus. lol. well, on oversight, i kinda 4got tt it was e hols. so, damn. lesser girls in skool. i was supposed 2 stand at e gate n block entry 2 those who were nt staff or didnt haf e chij pdp coupon. kinda borin ah e 1st shift. heck. e parade was 2 start at 6. who would come at 8 in e mornin?
i decided 2 play a little game... actually, it came out by accident. ok picture this- i was standing in full uniform with reflective vest infront of e side gate, adjacent e main road. there was a bus lane. yep. cars started 2 filter out of tt lane upon seein me. haha. some even raised their hands 2wards me in sign of apology. haha. i noticed tt oni e female drivers passed along wifout changin lanes. i figured tt they didnt noe e rule. but there was this one lady who approached me (wen i had changed wif khamsya to the front gate) 2 ask if she would b booked coz she saw 'another' officer juznow taking down her plate no. as she passed in e bus lane. haha.
oh, i saw this one super chio chick. haha, hands down miss universe material.
came back 2 c tt fi had written on sq 15 board tt sq11 was confined for 3 wks. what? yea. called him n made clarifications. yep. it was supposed 2 b sq15. phew. fi was in a pretty funny mood 2dy. he even brought in food 4 us n told us to finish it all up. heh. like we wouldnt.
received bad news... i haf sentry duty next sunday. damn.
Friday
anoher game of soccer. but this time my leg hurt bad. so i didnt play much. heck, i played for wat? 2 mins? e super loser team. lost. i made 1 save but my defence let me down.
in other news, book out was pretty flawless. haha.
