30 October 2009 Right after booking out, whole company need to go Jalan Besar Stadium to support SAFFC. =.= Sian leh, live soccer match I not so interested de. But nvm, just watch ba if not really sian... since it is free.
During the whole match, I hear cheers and "Chao Keng" very often. Ended up a 0-0 draw against Tampines Rover. But they already crowned as the league champion of this year.
Match ended, all chiong out. Including me as well. Chiong random direction out of the stadium. Here I am - Jalan Besar. Meaning, there will be buses to Bugis. Also means, a random visit to Iluma.
But then, I can only go there a while. On 1 hand, feel like trying Jubeat. On another hand, Taiko11/12. But with the limited amount I had in the card, need to choose 1 between the 2.
Ok, ended up Taiko. 1st game play on Taiko11. How the hell I play and get 615k for "Seasons of Asia"? Never get that high before in my own play. 2nd game play... screwed a song which I used to pass once. Luckily pass revival. Somehow I get to choose to play 4th song for my 2nd game play on Taiko12. O_O 3rd game play... simply just slack.
From the start of soccer match at Jalan Besar to arrival of home, I kept repling Jasper's messages. =D Good luck to him then, his turn to go Field Camp. (Haha, welcome to HELL!) Reached home. Tata!~ Patch Maple, surfing around Facebook/AsiasoftSEA Forums/Taiko Forums.
Mapling wise... probably online a while. Doubt not many people will online at this weird hour. =X
At this time of posting, outside my house... raining!
25 October 2009 Well, this explains why there isn't blog entry about Week 7 Book In on this day. lol~
I had mentioned what happened on 24 October 2009 Book Out. So about the Pre-Book In on 25 October 2009. The first thing I thought of after I woke up at 9am... "What the f**k, Book In Day! cb, after Field Camp still give so little off days. kns, still haven't enjoy enough for weekend."
Late-morning, set off to JP (even though she's not working). [AMK Hub... bleh, sian liao for the time being.] The newly renovated food court at JP1... curry chicken rice not bad (although I'm still down with sore throat). Proceed on to the hypermarket. Purchases made for Vitamin C & Detol Shower Gel.
Arcade wise... after looking at this picture below:
Then I remembered something. She told me before about her FC of this song.
Anyway, gonna leave at 4pm. Cuz by the time reach home, it is estimated to be 5.10pm. And I need to leave the house by 7.15pm in order to reach Pasir Ris on time by MRT. MRT... a longer time taken than bus from my house.
Chiong pack my stuff + eatting dinner before leaving the house. Anyway, I managed to arrive on time for the Book In. lol~
Now for the summary of happenings from 26 October 2009 to 30 October 2009. 26 October 2009 Siao eh... not enough sleep sia. Wake up headache.
27 October 2009 After the end of a training in the afternoon, I suddenly feel very warm. Wth I took the temperature with 38.0 degrees!?
Took panadol (given by a platoon mate *thnx a lot*). Took a sleep 1.5 hour earlier before offical lights out.
(Reminder for myself: Make a call to Jenny the next day)
28 October 2009 Which makes me much better on this day! (Errr... did "someone" somehow kill my fever out of sudden? =X)
Facepalm: OMG, call rejected. =.= Send in SMS birthday greetings... and chiong to sleep. I need more rest. >_<
This day activities... consider slack. SAFRA Talk *discounts, etc*
Also on this day, my left toe grew something... not right. No wonder I felt a bit pain while walking with footwear (shoes & boots).
29 October 2009 Errr... lol at her message reply. *stunned* (Also, I was told that the ranking service in MapleSEA had resumed.)
I was... wah, after so long, finally it resumed. (Oh well, ok...)
Mood level: Increased (at that message [not the MapleSEA Ranking]) But but but... left toe getting worse. Sergeants thought I really got Foot Rot. =.= End up wear sandals.
Joining the platoon to march from 1 location to another... nice record. Never happen before until on this day: 24-man behind
Errr, wth? Coincidence sia. Jian Zhou in a company near mine. Never expect sia.
30 October 2009 Put plaster onto my left toe. Suddenly can't feel the pain while running for IPPT. The moment I stop... can feel a bit of pain. -.-"
Ok lar, I felt that the timing is better than my 1st IPPT. (Heck care the 2nd IPPT... they put wrong timing.)
The rest of the day, simply slack while cleaning bunk. Until the book out time. However, Book Out =/= chiong straight home
Need to go Jalan Besar Stadium to support SAFFC team. -.-"
That's all about Week 7 Book In & the summary of happenings.
Field Camp aka HELL Camp completed! Woots! So after booking out, it's time for good food. Since I used Duffer Bag, I took MRT home instead. (Make use of the ramps & lifts) But reach home will be zzz sia.
Firstly, tio interviewed by a representative. Secondly, tio questioned by mum. And thirdly, before opening Duffer Bag, do not attempt to breath in deeply near the opening of it. =X Cleared liao, on computer awhile before buying lunch.
After lunch, nice job I had done. Lie on bed = straight sleep for 2 hours. Back to comp again before family gathering for dinner. Just a short outing. Since parents did not take Circle Line before, we made use of it. That will be going to Kovan via Circle Line. Much more convenient than previous visit.
Reason being: - So that tomorrow no need go out as family mah. Why must be Sundays and not any other days? - Possible visit to Iluma tomorrow since book in time for tomorrow is quite late. Else rest at home.
Now, for the summary of Field Camp from 19 to 23 October 2009: 19-23 October 2009 The whole Field Camp: Shag! Tired! But good experience also lar. Can learn quite a lot of new stuff.
Luckily bo tio bad weather, else suffer during camp liao. X_X Well, after all, Field Camp completed! New achievement. Mission completed!
Now suddenly quite a number of friends asked me the same question: How's Field Camp? Standard question comes with standard answer.
16 October 2009 While on the way home in the bus from Pasir Ris, I slept. Slept till almost missed my destination bus stop sia.
Reached home. Ate some porridge, then the medicine. Bath, on computer to install OS patches. Halfway through, I felt asleep in my bedroom. Once in a while, I woke up to check the installation status. Sian, check until totally asleep.
17 October 2009 Happy Deepavali!
By the time I woke up, it is 8am+. Wa, I slept for 10 hours. This time, feel much better. But hor, I need to rush down to buy wrapping paper.
So, the wrapping looks kns. Gift ready, but wrapping not ready. Reason for the last minute wrapping: Jenny last minute asked me whether want to go Iluma or not. So my wrapping also last minute. =x
Initial plan: Go Iluma Change of Plan on 13/10: Go JP Change of Plan on 17/10: Go Iluma
Went to Iluma & JP with Jenny. Errr at Iluma... Yuu & Suki were there again. For my case, dunno is just recovered or tired... "剑魂II" failed twice out of 3 plays. Cock up.
Lunch at JP Subway. I don't feel like eating oily food. lol... the number of medicine on the table, can faint sia. =X
Went home straight after finishing lunch. And again, I slept in the MRT train.
12 & 13 October 2009 I was at home. Resting & mapling.
The moment I booked in on 13 October 2009, my bunkmates told me that they took coy photo liao. Sian... missed that session.
14 October 2009 Live Shooting test for the whole day. Shiok ah. Test cleared. Gonna worry about Field Camp liao.
15 October 2009 Total slack day. What else I can comment.
16 October 2009 Suddenly, I don't feel well. Vomit, fever & diarrhea. GG liao.
Totally don't feel like eating though my sergeant told me to. Only dinner time, I can choose not to eat. The whole day, I just ate 1/5 portion of porridge at home.
Another 1 week gone. This week is the most slack week (for my case) because I booked in right before shooting test. lol. As I don't feel very well, I went home straight. Field bag is the lightest for this week. But next week, most likely it will be hell.
On computer, patch OS with 20 updates. Patch until I fell asleep in my bedroom. End up, my brother switched off my computer. It was... really lar. Don't feel very well, lie on bed = sleep.
Anyway, next week will be hell even though it has been reduced by 1 day due to renovation works.
12 October 2009 Fever is gone. But the sore throat & cough... seriously nothing to say. Decide to play my Priest thru leeching EXP from my main character in MapleSEA. 2X EXP time... it rocks even though there will be a patch the next day. But I have to take a short rest after each period of time.
Oooo yea, home-cooked food rocks too! Well, enough for me to recover my sore throat faster?
Meanwhile, Collin tagged photos. Ahhh, then I was like, huh? 2 Mutual friends (excluding Collin). lol? Singapore really small sia!? Secondary School classmate of Jenny was my random guess, given the place he stays at. (Skali he go see my facebook... also see tio same mutual friends. =X)
13 October 2009 Ended training my priest at Level 100. Up from Level 91 (20%). The patch today... simply sucks. The droprate for quest items sucks.
Other than that, I not too sure. I do not have a lot of free time to clear quests! Nonetheless, I just do whatever I can 1st.
Then, 1 guildmate of mine happen to online just now. Sia lar... he used to be the Coy I am currently at now. Hoseh... can dig out more info from him liao. xD
1 last home-cooked food for this week before booking in later. Next book out either this Friday or Saturday. Then next Book In... maybe I will call it Hell Week due to 6D5N Field Camp?
The Book In is at Pasir Ris Bus Interchange. 1 missing due to MC. Suddenly, temperature check has to be taken before booking in. Took out the thermometer and measure my body temperature. WTF is this alarm sound from my thermometer, which I never heard before. 37.6 degrees?! Hoseh liao, need fall out and measure in front of sergeant again. Another weird alarm sound from my thermometer again. 37.7 degrees! GG-ed... need to go see doctor at Changi General Hospital (CGH).
To my surprise, 1 of my bunkmates (Boon) also tio. Meaning, my section, got 2 cannot book in. Making a total of 3 absentees. Took cab together with Boon to CGH. Another temperature check at CGH (A&E), no fever detected (of course lar, cab got air-con... body temperature will decrease slightly). Then another check at the clinic registration. Only then, I tio detected slight fever. But still, the staff bring us to another area to see doctor. You know... the H1N1 thingy.
From 8.30pm to 10pm+, wa... long wait. By the time I collected my another set of medicines for my slight fever, already 10.30pm. Called my company to inform my current status. Told to stay at home to rest and book in on 13 Oct 2009 night instead. Slow walk back to Simei MRT. Last few trains towards Joo Koon. Thought no more train service liao because the display never say anything about the train arrival timing towards this direction. The station staff said the service is still available. Heng sia.
Suddenly, I felt a bit not right. Instead of transferring to another train back to home at City Hall, I transfer to another train towards Marina Bay at Raffles Place. At this station, I just cross to another platform to board another train towards Marina Bay. Marina Bay... quiet. Rest a while. But last train to Jurong East... does not matter me much. Because there will be a last train to Kranji after this.
So yes, I really board the last train. Reminds me the day I headed home with Jenny & Gias after Taiko BBQ sia. Last bus from Pasir Ris to Khatib, then they took last train from Khatib to Kranji. Train departure in 10 minutes upon arrival. Wa... so long! Board the train and rest (and the SMS).
Reached home. Take out medicine. Can faint sia. 5 medicines from family clinic, 3 from CGH. 2 doctors in 1 day. WTF?
Slept at 2.30am, woke at 9am with bad sore throat + minor nose-block. GG liao lar. Go see doctor, tio 3 days MC (for strenuous training) starting from 12 Oct to 14 Oct. Errr... that means still can join Route March ba? *hope so* Nvm, better to kill the cough off before Field Camp. Since the queue number I took is still far away from the current called number, I stayed at home. Facebook, Forums. Maple... sian. Nothing to play until next week (major content - Neo Tokyo). But next week after book out may not be free because may go out.
Next, 1 final stuff to buy for gift de. In total, still within my budget. Just wait for the next book out day to come.
2 rounds of Taiko before I go off. Need to stablise the song "剑魂II [Brave Heart, Braver Soul]" sia... still got failure rate chance.
Every settled except packing of bag. Now I have to bring in more medicine. =.= Week 5... here I come. Hope everything smooth smooth, then OMG Field Camp on Week 6?

5 Basic Exercise (5BX) after waking up at this moment: Wake up, Brush Teeth, Eat Breakfast, On Computer, Start surfing/playing <- LOL
Enough of craps... Anyway, the usual stuff... surf around Facebook and the 2 forums. Bobian leh, if too long never see, I feel very outdated like what happen not long ago (which will be mentioned later).
Back to Mapling. Yesterday (09 October 2009)... too tired, only touch Soul Collector quest for 1 fame then go sleep. 1am to 10am... again, another 10am wake up timing. Breakfast can be known as brunch liao. But does not matter, probably I miss home-cooked food too much? 10am breakfast, 1pm lunch. Continue Maple again. Clear Wolf Spider quest for another 2 fames. By the time everything cleared at home, I left house at 4.20pm. 1st stop is Iluma Bugis for Playing Taiko + Looking for gift.
Iluma @ Bugis Playing Taiko Upon arrival at Iluma doorstep, I saw the almost-complete overhead bridge linking from Bugis Junction to Iluma. Cool! Upon completion, no more worries about RAIN!!! It's all sheltered along the way from Bugis MRT to Iluma.
Makio, Yuu, Kyon, Suki & Me. Hayate makes his presence for a very short moment. The most surprised look at me: Yuu Cuz long time no see? Then Makio... walao, I know you ORD liao lar. Show me your pink IC. =.= Suki, ok... another slightly surprised look. Kyon... ya, most of the time can see me with Jenny. But today, nope. Hayate... surprised to see me?
Summary: "剑魂II [Brave Heart, Braver Soul]" (Oni 7* - Non Coded): Passing rate - 63.6% Errr shit. Once, I played this song as my 1st song. Yes, I saw 1 yellow bar when the song is near ending. But screwed at the back, yellow bar removed... and failed the song.
Still got 1 more Oni 7* song, also passed. But this 1... can consider quite easy.
Looking for Gift What gift sia? For next Saturday (if schedule works fine for me), hmmmm... Don't blame me if it looks sucky. >_< I think I need to look for more tomorrow BEFORE book in.
For today case, bobian... just make myself there can le. Anyway, I also long time never meet him le. Probably my presence shall his gift? =X
Birthday Party @ Bukit Batok - HomeTeamNS At first, I thought I lost sia. He told me the entrance is along Bukit Batok West Ave 7, nearest to Bukit Batok Road. I only see "Adventure Centre" with a few Malays walking out as a group. So I just walked in and see, since that's the 1 and only nearest entrance liao.
Walked in... I thought the chalet is the 1 like Downtown East de. Made a call to double confirm. Dots... so that is the place. =.= 21-year old liao wor. Happy Birthday, Collin! (Although the offical date is just a few days later.) So... really long time no see liao. Still can see 2 maple friends of his (Kougry & Choon Siong). So, got common topics liao - MapleSEA & NS Share topics till about 10.30pm, then go liao.
Reached home, near 12am. Now 2.10am, still not sleeping. Sian... Book In day. On the brighter side, single-digit week countdown starts from now: 9 weeks to go On the darker side, 1 week to Field Camp
05-09 October 2009 Just nothing much here. Either OK or tired OR something else.
07 October 2009 Jasper SMS-ed me. He just enlisted, and the coy he joined is just behind mine nia. Let see if got the chance to meet tio or not.
09 October 2009 Book out day! Also celebrating DeepaRaya. Yong Zhen was there. Talk a while.
Then that's it. The celebration also nothing much de. Just gather and do the following: - Watch performance - Play mini-games - Talk with friends (regardless of platoon, coy, race, language or religion) =X
Another 1 week gone. Making the remaining number of days left as at this time of post to be 61. Headed home straight. Felt quite stress these 2 days. Need to find activities to de-stress. *LOL*
Reached home... already 10.15pm liao. (Book out at 8.30pm) Think need more rest... getting dry cough nowadays. Nice virus spreading... >_<
Meanwhile, unpack stuff. Check stuff. Handphone bill... errr... sort of underestimated the usage. Over-shot Outgoing call by 4.6 minutes. Bobian... my Maths starts to fail liao. =X
Plans for tomorrow: - Iluma Bugis in the afternoon after lunch at home - Probably celebrate Collin's birthday at Bukit Gombak (HomeTeamNS)
Plans for 11/10: - Belated father's birthday in the afternoon
Stuff packed. Additional stuff to be brought in: Civi Clothes & Thirsty Hippo Sachets. Back to Mapling. Yesterday play KoC Soul Master up 1 level, today use Priest to leech up 2 levels. Nothing else, simply because I want to rest. =X Celebrating Father's Birthday postponed. Most likely will be after his birthday, due to possible clash in my plan on Saturday. Well, I have to see the schedule when the time is right.
Since 2 Adjustment Weeks have cleared, it means almost every week can book out. Just a matter of when. After next book out, the countdown in weeks to POP will be single. Number of days remain at 60+.
03 October 2009 67 days to POP (if everything goes on smoothly).
Slept at 3am, woke at 10am. That's 7 hours of uninterrupted rest? Ok... SLEEP. Facebook in the morning, Mapling in the afternoon. Get my Poly transcript and diploma cert to photocopy right after lunch. Pro hor... 10am breakfast, 1pm lunch.
Managed to level up my KoC character to Level 74 just by PQ-ing. Killed Angry Frankenroid, saved Romeo as a party. More quests available. Completed them before heading for dinner.
As I have to bring in Collar Clothes on next book in day, need go buy 1. Clothes... easy for me. Went AMK Hub. Clothes settled, head to the Arcade for a short while. Ya... very short moment.
Most of the machines there... tio re-located. More space for Taiko11 machine, located just behind the counter. Play "剑魂II [Brave Heart, Braver Soul]" (Oni - Non Coded) as my last song. Yesterday (02 Oct) passed, today failed. Still unstable, my passing rate for this song remains at 60%.
Nothing else after this. Wondering what photos to bring/print out, and stick on my cupboard. Available photos hiding in my drawer (or somewhere else except digital devices): - Taiko Competition on 23/8 (No idea!!!) - Secondary 4 shots: 4 photos (100% confirm not bringing it!) - Graduation Day stage photo (100% confirm not bringing it!)
Inside this dummy computer: - FYP AY08/09 photos (I think I need her to send me 1 photo to me... the group photo) - Graduation Day: Me with Jasper & Jenny - Class Chalet on 25/7 (2009) @ DTE - MapleSEA-SP Asiasoft Forum gathering on 10/2 (2007) @ Vivocity - Some other random shots...
28 September 2009 OTOT... suddenly go high. Back to bunk... straight sleep.
29 September 2009 Morning... wake up. Amazingly, most of them still sleeping even though it is 5am. My 1st time switch on the lights to wake them up. =X
Night... my turn to write Journal Book. Just write whatever I can think of.
The pain somehow returned, but not so bad.
30 September 2009 The pain still not so bad until 1 Run Training session. Suddenly very pain. Fall out as per instructor's order. Feel better, but the pain still there.
It does not stop me from participating the next session - Strength Training. But comes to Route March, my sergeant stop me.
01 October 2009 Greeted by 1 big pile of shit stuck in a toilet bowl in the morning. WTF... whose sia. It is so big. So big, as though an elephant went into the toilet and do big business.
On the other hand, Cannot tahan liao. Report sick again, this time round tio 5 days status. GG liao... if OOT, @_@
There was "Team Building Team Learning" session. A section produced their presentation. "Ser Chin"... this name sounds so familiar. Could he be my friend in Primary School?!
Surname also same. 1 thing to find out... is to ask. But when is my next opportunity? Go to his bunk and ask?
On this day, a record of 12 status behind the platoon.
And a total of 40-minute phone conversations. Too much admin time left even after I had bath liao. Home: 11 minutes Jenny: 29 minutes
02 October 2009 Book out day! Suddenly all high together.
Running cannot participate. But can do some Strength Training while sitting down.
Also marks the day I broke the Zero Fighter barrier (aka end of 0 Chin Up). But hor, if tired... still 0 lar.
On this day, another new status record set. 13 of it. Can form another platoon?
After booking out, all chiong mood. In the bus, got people sing song for 1 Sergeant who is returning back to his Coy soon.
After alighting, all chiong. Me leh... continue to blog post: Week 3 Book Out
22 September 2009 Looks like the pain did not go off. GG liao, really need to report sick the next day.
23 September 2009 The day I report sick. Some sort of muscle strain near my right knee. Lower-limb status for 4 days till 26 Sep 2009.
Offically joined Pikachu Club at the Foyer. =.= Pi-Ka (Pai-Kah)... cannot walk properly due to muscle strain or other reasons. That's how "Pikachu" is named.
24 September 2009 Whole coy tio fk GG-ed
Someone report wrong strength.
25 September 2009 Road March 3km. Managed to complete it at my own pace nia... =.=
Following that, just train using Upper Limb only. At least, can kill boredom. (When the hell I can break the Zero Fighter barrier!?)
On this day as well, Emi also on status. Throw in random topics. A random song was mentioned. "With my rifle and my buddy and me"
Then I thought of... "With my status and my buddy and me"
Part of the Purple Light song is modified. Back to room, bunkmates also did modify other parts. Now it looks something like: Pikachus At the foyer Sitting there Do the claps Tio excuse And Attend B With my status and my buddy and me
CPT Sibeh jialat OCPT Lagi worse Doing some With the OC With my OC and my buddy and me
Report sick Go to MO But I saw My Sergeant there Can't Chao Geng Back to PT No status but my buddy and me

26 September 2009 Singapore Discovery Centre visit Travelled from East to West is @_@ (and vice versa) The bus travelled from East to North to West... almost around Singapore.
This trip... I can say, quite interesting lar. Can see my father's time in his army and other sources.
Bonus meal added - Pizza
27 September 2009 End of status period. Can participate activities liao.
After this day has passed, Adjustment Week will be concluded as well. Meaning... can book out almost every week.
Unable to contact Jenny, cuz she slept already. (So early wor?)
Finally it is October 2009. Time seems to be flying. ^o^ Days left: 68 (as at 03 Oct 2009)
List of tasks: Bags unpacked - Checked Purchase Polo T-Shirt - Schedule for 03/10 Early celebration of Father's Birthday - Schedule for 03/10 Bags to be packed - Schedule for 04/10
Hmmm... now 2.36am. Looked at some stuffs earlier on. Left this nia, then go sleep. List of funny/normal happenings during Week 2 & 3/13 in blog soon.
Another 12 days gone. Making the remaining number of days left as at this time of post to be 68. End of adjustment week. Meaning... can book out almost every week.
Book out time 7.15pm but delayed for another 15 minutes. Being the fastest platoon to send arms yesterday afternoon (02 Oct 2009), get to board the bus 1st. From Pasir Ris to Boon Lay is 1-hour MRT ride. Sitting all the way for 26 stops. =X
9.10pm arrival at JP. Seeing Jenny still busy, headed to FairPrice Xtra purchase 1 stuff then walked back. By then, everything cleared.
Ok lar, quite quiet due to the fact that 29-minute phone conversation was held on 01 Oct 2009. Wearing the Green uniform cannot enter Arcade? I only heard of wearing school uniform cannot enter. Just walk in... bo taiji leh. "剑魂II [Brave Heart, Braver Soul]", dunno is stable or unstable. Scare play 1st song, then fail. =X
That's all. Jenny jubeat-ing until I really tio Last Train to Pasir Ris. If this train missed hor, a bit GG. I still got Route 2: - Take a Taxi from JP to Jurong East MRT. - Take the MRT from there, back home (North-South line).
Worse come to worst... Route 3: - Just take a taxi and home sweet home
(Unpacking of stuff this time round is much easier than 2 weeks ago. Very little stuffs.)
