Thru e Words n Pictures in Life - Bengoshi

All these years, after realizing why I'm always the one who has been independent and been outcast whenever I'm with
my bunch of friends, friends be it with ex school mates, fellow partners, or any else. Now that I've realized. I think it is
time to forget, time to get busy, time to fill my time with incomplete works.

end

Its been awhile since I've last posted, have been working in the same line. Working in there is still fine with me, well I guess I find it enjoying and of course experiencing it at the same time, the pay just came in not long ago which is good for me as a part time job. Getting work onto this I've learn what to do and what not to do, which includes the safety and precaution on the types of it. The working partners are good to chat with, but I'm still trying my best to be "friendly" dude, hahhaha still not up to the standard on getting click with all friends..

These few days I've been trying to get hang outs with old friends, especially Jonathan, who will be going for 2 years study with honours in Australia - Sydney, it'll be a hardtime for him, but it is also something for him to experience the different environment, with different roadsigns, foods, locations, people around, house facilities and etc. Studying in other country, I would say it'll be very "stranger" to us, and the people around are locals (aussie locals) and we'll be the foreigners to them, that is the difficulty that we would have to face, and that is being friendly, showing them that we're somewhat friendly and easygoing like aussie locals, never show any rudeness to them else it'll bring alot of bad impression to them, some rumours saying that it's kind of "racist" to some religions, but this is some sort of natural or depending on personal issues. But I know Jonathan would be able to handle it, only problem is his english, his understanding, and his "blurness".

Gotta have an outing again tomorrow, it'll be some time until the public holidays/occassions and the friends of us will meet up together again. 2years is just that short, imagine 2 years in national service. =)

Last few days in my NS, I've been going back to camp even though I was on Att B/C.
Cos it'll be the last few times to enjoy my camp, my bunk, my office, especially together with my fellow colleagues.

Day 1 - Tuesday
Was on duty, I consider that as a busy busy day for me, for the whole morning - went down to parade square to update bus, right after lunch I went down to the park, which is even more further down the parade square to update more buses. And managed to go for my medical FFI with Chris Clarence CheeEn n Ronald, but right when I reached back to my duty room, I was tasked to teach the remaining personnel who will be taking over for our duty, and it takes for 2hrs to just finish the lessons.

That is the only remaining hour that I can actually relax and enjoy in my office... cos i forward the extension phone line to my office, which is exactly below my duty room haha... after Dinner, i continued my enjoyment. Until then at around 8plus close to 9, I went to check on my duty stuffs, happened that someone unable to login, and I've been trying to troubleshoot with the help from my colleagues, but fail to do so, I called back and tell them that I'll ask my ps to solve it another day, that is when I'm about to sleep and getting tired - clock shows 12midnite.

Day 2 - Wednesday
Not really tired after the sleep, went for breakfast myself at the stall, and continue to enjoy, the entire day is so peaceful, nothing much of works to do, but went up to duty room at ard 10am to help my buddy to teach the new people for the handing over stuffs again...and it takes 2hours again. Right after that, get my enjoyment again with my fellow colleagues, play, chat, eat. And went to nights out to Botak Jones with Bentan, Xiangwei, JunJie, Eugene, Jtan, Jervis, Shanghao, Delon, Ronald, Martin, DanielTng, Daniel Moots, Jlow, & CSM. Enjoyed alot and went to Teck Whye right after that, to grab some bites and drinks back to office to enjoy playing again~, its so happening that I even stay overnight in the office after I went back to bath, enjoyed the night with Daniel Bentan n Guocai whom is on duty, until 3am. lol

Day 3 - Thurs
Went back to bunk at ard 6plus, after 1hr plus I was energized and feeling not tired, went down to office again to play with most of the ORD personnels, feeling great, and went back to sign clearance form with the remaining cmders.. Yet enjoying the whole day. Went out for dinner as well, and even ordered pizza for some bites, and they were having some "fun session" with weijian, all I do is watch, and see what they were up to....lol.. back to topic - next news, i received a call from jervis, telling me the shocking news that he was offered a place for SMU, -.- and gosh, he had already planned to carry on for his career and it was so last minute that he was being offered and he have to give an answer within 3days time, but after having a talk with Daniel, me, Guocai, and Bentan, he decided to follow his career, which also benefits him for his future. Chatted almost close to 12midnite, and went back to bunk, that's when the funny part started - not most of people were asleep, in fact they were finding the right moment to sandwich people.. LOL everyone just hop and sandwich each other, and we played almost till 1am, and everyone went to sleep for the GREAT day.

Day 4 - Friday
Slept for a longer time till 9, had my breakfast all thanks to Daniel Moots - PRATA! and even had tuna biscuits with Martin Delon Ronald n Jervis, having a chat with them and deciding the outing for the night. After that, went for the interview and went back to office to enjoy~, had lunch at the stall and continue to enjoy. Within the last few hours, the duty roles and office was officially hand over to the other personnel. And went back bunk to prepare to pack stuffs, gosh just realised i got way too much of things to carry. And i carried quite alot of stuffs back, -.- waited for moorthy's vehicle to drive me out of the camp, otherwise would have ask for shanghao's help but he left earlier with jervis at 4plus while i've waited till the last parade.

The night was the enjoying moment, went down to Gotham Pub @ Clarke Quay, not to say its new, but somehow it is the fun that I never had since 2 years back, drinking, playing, dancing, chatting happily and the good part is the event hosted by the dancers in the pub, cool and their dancing stances were great!! Jazz, freestyle, group dance, and the funny weird "fireman" - ladies will like that. Didn't know that the gathering was a huge one, chris, danny's group, kelvin's group, delon's group. Some how won't forget that night, how fun it was, and I played the good part to ask my dad (guilty GULP) to send jervis, daniel n chris back home....

A day that everyone has been wishing for, ever since the day they enlisted to BMT, or even before the day more likely when they have received the mail on the day they're supposed to report at the Pasir Ris Interchange. But as days go through till the final few weeks of their army life.

Some people would actually miss the life of enjoying in here - relaxing and slacking around - playing games and sports - experiencing outdoor exercise and combat trainings - marching and doing tough duties - enjoy tea breaks, happy hours and outings - with fellow mates while getting paid of allowance.

Some people would want to go for the working environment to get a highly paid allowance and be prepared to get tough on works, more freedom and able to stay home together with their families, able to meet up with friends who got lost contact with, able to have more time to enjoy outside environment n travel freely as compared to staying in the camp.

After all, these are all my thoughts, it can never be an ending story if I continue to say this, but there's something that I wouldn't forget, and that's the people whom I get along with, the friends whom I can trust, and the people whom I will keep contact with. The reason why I like taking photos - brings back the memories, realizing that you are part of the family.

Recently had been going through the painful session, the flushing of nose bleeds and getting onto wisdom tooth extraction. Just about 2days ago that I've went to Alexandra hospital for removing 4 of my wisdom tooth, I've reached at the Ward 1 by 12noon, but waited for getting on my turn when the time reaches to 2pm, as I went into the surgery room, asking me to lie of the platform, putting me into sleep with less than 10seconds! Goodness, and it seems like I woke up right after I closed my eyes, so I asked the nurse for the time, 10minutes more to 4pm..... !!!

Gosh, that's when I realized the pain right after I woke up, the pain comes from the right wisdom tooth, I can't describe how painful it is but can only judge by percentage of the pain... it almost reaches to 70% of it thats when I told the nurse, and I was being pushed back from surgery room to Ward 1 again to analyze my wisdom tooth bleeds, at that time I'm still biting onto 2 sterile gauze which makes my entire lips went into full numbness, I can't even feel anything LOL.... So in the end I wasted a lot of time there, at about 7 then I leave Alexandra Hospital... went back home and tried playing dota with Shanghao, but was disconnected due to my own network settings..

Nevertheless, Wantan aka James suddenly called me to ask me out for a movie, LAST MINUTE. And tried ask Jervis for that, but he is so obsessed with his WoW... But anyway it's a good that they waited for me to catch on the 2am show "Chocolate", that's one of the cool movies recently came out, I can rate it by 7~8 out of 10 even though it's one of the similar movies to Ong Bak, but actions aren't as POWER as Ong Bak, as Chocolate is more of action and funny scenes around. Well right after the show, we went over to my house nearby Mcdonald for breakfast, as it is almost like 5am, then taking few funny pictures around lol and I went back home.

Next following day, 24th May
Went to Chinatown point, Jervis msned me to meet me up early as he's bored, and had lunch with him. Waited for JJ and Eugene and CSM. And here goes to our KTV. Halfway through our Drinks/KTV Ben Lim came, an ORD-ed personnel joined in the fun, and so we played for almost like... 5pm to 11pm. I had most of my time onto the singing session, LOL and I guess I enjoyed singing alot there. Though I still feel the wisdom tooth pains at that time, so I tried drinking ice water to try to stop the bleeding just to freeze it, and it works! Reaching after 11, and left the KTV, we went for a supper and chatted there for almost 12midnight, getting tired and went back home, watching my usual Animations D-Gray Man latest and Bleach latest till now, had the urge to write this blog post, with thoughts around.

Somehow, come to think of it, within 7days more to go, and I won't have to come back to camp any more already. I was quite happy - as being freed after the 2 years, was quite sad - having good memories on my ISC, the days how we enjoy the fun, the pain, the conflicts, and the bondings together. Have been really enjoyed a lot especially in our own office, going for coffee session to chit chat, and even sleeping hours chit chat session with Ben Tan, Jervis, ex-KS ppl and even the ANC ppl. As about to ORD soon, I'm starting to miss a few good friends in this bunk, or even this camp, wondering whether we'll have the chance to meet up again sooner or later. There will be lots of people going to work, my bunk mates especially, left only with me, JLow, JTan and Shanghao will be going for further studies, next following year same goes for Ben Tan on his further studies.

Hopefully there will be someone make a planning to gather everyone especially those who ORD-ed again... cheers, and keep contact.
