i'm really not looking forward to going back camp.
i'm so tired. way too tired. =(
maybe this is my limit?
これでわたしのげんかいか？
たぶん。。。
i dunno man..... training's way too tough.
i might not be able to make the cut. realistically and honestly speaking.
well, goodbye computer. for 1 week.

Cherries Don't Blossom In September
my whole body is aching like mad. literally.
training in SISPEC is just too tough!!!
now i can understand what my sergeants in BMTC were saying, "Expect worse in unit life when you graduate. BMTC is just a playground for you all."
in the morning, we Muslims wake up at 4am to eat breakfast. then we fall in again at 5.45am to do 5BX. there's warm-up for 5BX, 5BX itself and cooldown for 5BX. that's not the end of the morning exercise!! there's still a 2km run!!!!!
we were like, "OUCH!!!"
after that, the non-Muslims go for breakfast, area-cleaning time. at 7.30am, there's first parade. from then on, lessons start. be it physical training or lectures.
the worst of it was SOC. we had a 700 metres full rundown of it. complete the obstacles and another 700m run. so we thought, "YES!!! we had completed SOC!!! time to go back..~~".
but we thought wrong.
they gathered us up again and said, "OK! LETS GO THROUGH THE OBSTACLES AGAIN!!!"
we were like, "EEEEKSSS!!!!"
then when they saw our exhausted faces, they barked at us to move faster and faster.
"WHY?! SHAG CANNOT THINK AH!!?!? MOVE FASTER!!! FASTER!!! FASTERR!!!!! YOU FU*KING CHEE BY*, MOVE FASTER!!!".
on one occasion, i almost fainted because i was fasting while doing PT.
not that dramatic, yes i know!
and we virtually have no break at all. after a lesson ends, we changed attire, 10 minutes later, the next lesson starts. it practically drags the whole day. the training doesn't stop at dinner. it continues all the way till about 9.30pm. by that time, i would be so exhausted and tired, i simply didn't have time for a phonecall or messages. at the very least, i would call my family if there's time before lights out because if i didn't sleep by lights out, i would be super tired the next day.
my abs are aching like super mad. its quite difficult for me to laugh or cough. my calf muscles are complaining and i can't even stand without aching a muscle.
i reckon being in SISPEC will be the fittest time of my life. since enlisting 3 months ago, i've lost nearly 20 kilos!! more is to come in SISPEC. and i can feel my muscles growing back during pre-poly age, only they're getting bigger. my tummy fats are almost non-existent.
anyway, apart from my routine there, recently, last Wednesday, i had my TP driving retest. and........
I PASSED!!!!!
with only a penalty of 10 points from the previous 42 points!!!! wooohooo!!!!!!
now all i need is just a car. *grin*
i'm trying to enjoy as much as i can today, tomorrow, i'm booking in again at 10pm. its only for 9 weeks more. its worth the sacrifice. it'll help me to get fit for free. =)
now i present to you; the SISPEC school song:
School of Infantry Specialists, here we come.
Soldiers of every creed and race.
Soldiers to Specialists we will become
Leaders of 6 men to set the pace!
SISPEC Warriors, we are the Warriors.
SISPEC Warriors, with pride we will lead.
Fearlessly we lead with pride,
Training hard, full of might.
Train to lead by day and night
We will strive for greater heights!!

i'm now currently in Juliet Company.
so its SISPEC/ J Coy PLT 3 SECT 4.
but Juliet!? i'm in a girls coy. hahah! nah. its a codename.
those sergeants from other Company would say, "You're from J Coy? sorry ah, there's no Romeo here."
or, "Cheer up J Coy!! Romeo is just around the corner!!".
sickening. really.

Where On Earth Is Carmen Santiago?
one day, i was asked by a friend of mine.
"you in army already, never sign-on ah?"
my answer: NEVER!
training to defend the country is hard enough. i'd leave to the dying part to the Regulars. they don't pay me enough to train to defend the country, neither do they give enough to oblige my life for the country.
if most people think like me. then, too bad!!
on this one-of-kind day, where it rained heavily towards late morning and bright and sunny afternoon, i really hate to go out.
why why why? tell me why!?
you know there's this old cartoon, erm, what's it called...... The Jetsons!!!
haha. my favourite cartoon last time was Scooby Doo. my favourite hero was Ultraman.
i didn't like Superman. why?.... because he wore red underwear outside of his trunks. kinda lame i know. but nevertheless, i was never deprived of cartoon when i was young.
speaking of which, i've been watching alot of cartoons at home really. i haven't even played my PS3 since my block leave started. gotta get new games soon, but i really haven't had time to play.
maybe, i think, its time to get a new girlfriend!!!!!
*grin*
*grin somemore*........
i think i know who..........
tell me who!!!! who who who!!!!!!
have a good time guessing.
probably, you know her from somewhere; somehow.
i'll give you some coordinates, find her!! (if you'd be bothered to.)

quite disappointed i didn't get to OCS. but at least i know i got into command school.
INF LDR means Infantry Leader. which means, my future rank when i graduate from BSLC and ASLC will be 3SG. simply means 3rd Sergeant.
'3SG MD RUZAINI'!!!!!!
but Pasir Laba Camp is like way far from Tampines. where its at?....
ITS AT FREAKING JURONG!!!!!!
wah, what time have to wake up man?!?!?!?!!
and i guess i have to suffice with going to and fro from Jurong and Tampines for 6 freaking months!
ahh well.
time for photos!!
taken on the day of our Graduation Parade.
its so exciting!!!!
i can't wait for SISPEC.
oh yes. and i got my driving test next Wednesday.
wish me luck!!!! =)

いちょご たべたい！！！
introducing my favourite fruit.
the strawberry!!!!!
bet you didn't know this right, right, right?!!?
i like how sour or sweet strawberries can be. just like me. unpredictable. hyak hyak hyak.
there's never a moment of eating ice cream without strawberries. but otherwise, there's always cookies and cream. =D
and usually, this is the time of the year i crave for ice cream. ahh, but its too bad its the fasting period. well, maybe not. there's always dessert after breaking fast. heh heh heh.
are you thinking what i'm thinking?
that aside, i have this irritating running nose since morning after FFI medical checkup.
and its ever so irritating that i slept in the afternoon.
i'm just anxious for tomorrow when we'll get our unit posting. its either going to command school or Medic for me. other than that, i'm going to waste away my life for 2 years.
well, lets see. what am i going to do in life. (ever played the boardgame, Game Of Life?)
by the time i finish NS, i would be 22.
then perhaps do a degree. by that time i graduate, i would be 25.
at 25 years old, i'm like halfway to being old.
and talk about kick-starting a career at 25. sheesh. whatever can i do?
work and work and struggle for 2 years. go get married lah at 27 years old.
27 years old like so old man.
like that, so old to get children ah. cannot lah.
i have a company-mate who's got a family at the age of 19. shotgun marriage though. and he's got 2 kids! i wonder how he'd be supporting them. not to mention supporting a wife as well. with a monthly allowance; i repeat, allowance of $400 a month. i wonder.
well, in Singapore i believe, even a $3,000 is not even enough to support a family of 3.
things to pay include:

things to pay include:
- House mortgage
- Car expenses (if applicable)
- Household expenses
- School fees
- Insurance
- Taxes
and why am i talking about this anyway? baaaaahhh. hmmm.
but honestly, i don't mind the expenses as long i can support my family. doesn't matter where or how, as long as i can provide them with a comfortable life.
and the best thing of all things is that.
strawberries rock my socks!!!!!! haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

parade rehearsals are the worst!!! and what more with fasting.
there were 3 rehearsals each lasting for a whole afternoon.
the first one was held last thursday.
the second one last Monday and the last one yesterday. they were killers!! i mean literally. the weather was super-duper hot!!! we were like, 'OMG, its so freaking hot!!! cannot stand it anymore lah!! break fast already lahhhh!!!'.
i did fast on the 2nd rehearsal. i nearly fainted. my face was crumpled up from dehydration and there was no sweat even though we were under the sweltering heat. to sum it all up, our skin got burnt black.
but!
it was worth it all!!!!! wahahah!! as we threw our jockey caps high into the air. photos will be up soon as i gather all of them up.
not to be speaking too soon. i'm already being called up back to Tekong for FFI.
FFI? Fit For Infantry. seriously.

the worst bit is i have to report back at 7.30am in the morning.
no life seriously.
ざんねん だったら。ほんとうに。

Graduation From BMTC School 1
quite an upsetting weekend.
firstly, we had to bookout on a Saturday considering its our last bookout from BMTC and from Tekong. with the Singapore Discovery Centre visit in the morning.
pppfftt.
i'm enjoying most of the days anyway. and with my DS Lite now playing Pokemon Diamond version. its battery had lasted me the whole week. my take; its definitely more fun to play than the Sony PSP.
so anyway, i'm having my Graduation Parade a.k.a Passing Out Parade (POP) on Wednesday, 19th September 2007. the time for the parade is at around 5pm. =)
i'm rather quite upset during the past week though. i havent been talking much.
so i guess i'm just looking forward to POP this week. and my platoon is organising a barbeque at East Coast next Friday.
on a final note, i would like to say.....
POP LOHHH!!!!!!

My New Girlfriend
somedays you will just have bad luck.
she's smooth, sweet and best of all she's sexy. heh heh heh.
well, time to prepare for book in. BOOK IN LOH!
some of us are not bad people, we only had bad luck.
Bad Luck #1
I was caught 'smuggling' a pudding back to bunk through an area inspection at night. i was made to stand in front of the whole company in the lecture hall. (nothing happened)
Bad Luck #2
My phone charger was caught through the same inspection. (+1 confinement)
Bad Luck #3
Before 'Recruit's Evening' event, everyone was made to wear civilian clothing during the event. those who didn't bring civilian wear had to wear admin attire. i didn't bring civilian attire or rather i forgot. which was fine. fine, fine until my Company Sergeant Major came along. he said, 'Those not wearing civilian attire, WILL NOT BOOKOUT THIS WEEKEND!!'.
we were like, "WHAT THE F*CK?!" *open-mouth*
it means we will not bookout this weekend. (+1 confinement)
but like i said, my Platoon Sergeant is the best. he's a very reasonable guy.
super bad luck week.
but anyways, i'm already out of camp. and its like 1 week and 3 days more to POP!!!!!!!!!
next week, we'll be having Live Grenade Throw. a re-IPPT. and basically that's it. we practically finished most of the major things that we're supposed to do. and after this week, i finally have abit of free time during the weekends.
oh and 1 more thing!
meet my new girlfriend.
she's smooth, sweet and best of all she's sexy. heh heh heh.
meet my Sony PSP. meet my Nintendo DS Lite.
well, time to prepare for book in. BOOK IN LOH!

Dawn Of Autumn
another short weekend for me this week.
nothing personal. but then again, i'm so tired.
but on a brighter note, this would be one of the last Saturday bookouts in BMT. from next week onwards, i would be booking out on Friday.
i went to Comex yesterday with Hanisah and her friend, Hidayah. she was looking for a laptop so i followed along. finally she settled for a Sony Vaio C which costs around $1,599. and i can't believe an NEC laptop is worth the same price with better specs!!! oh well.
my laptop needs to be serviced. apparently when i switched it on, it had crackle sounds and it just shuts down. i think the motherboard blew. damn. i might've guessed it needs servicing soon. now i'm using my youngest sister's laptop and even it can't connect to MSN that well. tsk (Compaq laptop).
aaaaaaahhhh. going to POP lohhhh!!! in 2 weeks and 5 days.
who wants to come to my graduation parade??!
