Well on the last day of Air Force Sch there was a solo presentation going on which everyone has to do. I think I did a great a great job by the fact that I actually planned it virtually and mentally to make it a nice fun presentation where everyone was having a hearty time. I couldn't believe it at first that I managed to make the whole auditorium laugh by the fact that those people presenting before me on friday had either somewhat solemn presentations or cracking "cold jokes" and ppl were falling asleep all over. When I went back to my seat, my team mates congrats me on my interesting performance and Someone from grp 9 told me it was the best solo presentation so far =D
Well I wrote so much about it is to remind me that since I managed to go through an OC nite dance, be ADWO I.C. for a day and giving a fun solo presentation in front of the entire AFS without any stage fright then I have reached a certain level =D

Well I havn't finish my research on Ivanka yet. Nevertheless that aside, on friday me and daniel went 2 play b-ball (yay I can shoot 3 -pt already) and soccer for 2 hrs and he said that my skills actually improved since I could dribble past him so much (without ramming the ball at all) and score with my LEFT leg lols (and after that I beat him at penalties 2 XD). me chet and daniel went out yesterday for dinner and to shop for Shihui's present =D
Can't type so much. Chet is waiting for me now to go meet shihui and dan at downtown. bye.

In case you all have not known, I have been offered a place in CBS (curtin biz sch). But since I have until like next year to accept it, I feel like taking SAT or maybe SAT and re-A'levels next year cuz I want to get into Wharton Biz Sch (US, Penn). I am so undecided and thus I shall go to sleep now and wake up to watch soccer later. Maybe if Russia beat Spain later I will go decide to take both tests XD

I shall do further research on my media eye-candy, darling, idol tml and come up with a post soon =D

-9:06 PM

There are 3 postings : 163 squadron (I-HAWK), 3-DA and 18-DA

I am in 18-DA =D

Basically I will be handling the Mistral and the IGLA. The 1st picture is of the IGLA. It works on a "fire -and-forget" system and can be fired to land or air targets. The 2nd picture is of the Mistral which I suppose its homing due to 95% strike rate.

My I.C. for 18-DA is Kenneth Lim my sec sch sec 1&2 classmate coincidentally.

Segt told us we sit in land rover while segt drives us to target where we disbark and set up our missles.

Segt also told us that we, the air force, have no route marches or SOCs =D

And we are the 2nd line of defence behind the commandos.

(that is exception of rec troopers who go and scout enemy territory 1st)

-5:06 AM

Goal scorers below.

Germany:

Schweinsteiger 26' min

Klose 79'

Lahm 90'

Turkey:

Day 1 at Air force sch. It was EXTREMELY slack as we the AIR DEF WPN OPR ppl were gonna be posted to our respective camps after air force sch. Thus when the AOS(Pes C) and Air Force Tech( also Pes C or phy unfit) were trying out n.o.3 uniforms and filling up admin stuff, we the ADWO( the only PES A and B) just slacked around. We literally spent almost the ENTIRE day in the Auditorium so much that I almost thought I was in Golden Village cinema. The only time we went out to march was when we had canteen breaks or toilet breaks or just to get out of the audi cuz we are feeling too cold =D

Nevertheless we all know that Air force sch is paradise b4 we get posted to our camps XD

We had some NTUC income insurance talk today and I have gotta say that the salesgirl Adel was chio =)

Other than that I was the IC for ADWO and marched 43 ppl around for breaks XD

Upon reaching home, I saw Joanne Chia , the policewomen who works at Pasir ris police post front desk. She was at White sands in her uniform talking. And thats the 2nd chio gal I saw today XD

To end off, I watched The apprentice last night b4 I went to sleep. Just wanna say that Ivanka Trump is my latest media darling =D

Ivanka is so cute on screen can ! XD

Ivanka pls hire me as yr personal financial assistant after I graduate from Curtin Biz Sch Commerce k !!!

Hey today is the last day of my civilian life b4 I enter Air Force Sch. On friday I went to my BMTC Zulu Coy platoon 4's last meeting at pasir ris park for a BBQ. Then during the weekends I went to meet up with my cousins and frens. 2day when I went with chet to Elias Mac to have lunch we saw Mediacorp artists Priscilia Chan and her actor husband Alan Tern =D OMG i was stunned for a while.
Later chet told me that Priscilia lived at block 63 something in Pasir Ris. I was stunned again.
Thats good that Pasir Ris is home to a superstar =D

Ok now let me speculate, guess, envision what my Air force vocation would be like:

Arty drills will only be Air attack
We don't throw grenades, only high flares or fireworks
Breakfast, Lunch and dinner served by SIA
IPPT 2.4km is run around airport runway
Route march is march from changi terminal 1 to 2 to 3 to budget terminal then to paya lebar air base
Navigation exercise is stay in control tower and direct planes/ weapon fire.
Training is play xbox or com games cuz we aint really allowed to shoot planes down
When we, air force do live firing, army and navy have to cease fire cuz they scared ppl shoot down our planes.
Live firing is shooting flying birds
During fire movement, we say :" 10km above, enemy behind cloud, just next to the sun, wind speed, enemy flying apeed and altitude are..."
Misfire and hit any plane = yr spore n.o. 1 terrorist
Urban Ops in airport budget terminal
Airforce RPs to check luggages at airport
Private's Evening celebration invites SIA stewardess to perform
clean arms in swimming pool cuz our weapon/missiles too big
most likely to get charged for shooting birds/ satellites/ planes/ helicopters /parachutes.
Weapons must never point at the airport or singapore flyer.
You go around the air base greeting ppl captain most of the time.
You probably will be wearing another uniform that isnt green.
You would possibly need sunglasses in the day and nightvision at night (unless yr in control tower).
You can always see shooting stars when you fire tracer illuminated rounds at night.
You wont fire any machine gun into the sky like an idiot, you fire missiles like those you see in ironman/ starwars.
Those UAV remote control plane ppl really go fly kite during training.
You are most likely to discover an alien like CJ7 if you shoot down a UFO... and tats so cool.

Yep tats all for my wonderful imaginary envisions of my vocation. Air Force Sch Day 1 tml =D

This morning I went to Hwa Chong JC to play a 5 on 5 street soccer match with my fellow platoon mates. Wenjie being a Hwa Chong alumni booked the court. Although I made my way from Pasir Ris to Newton and then hopped onto bus 171 as part of my long journey there, the time was worth it as I grabbed the winning goal to make the score of 5:4. This group of 10 people were not soccer noobs as I presumed them to be kicking 'kampung soccer' . They were dribble pros, MJC and CJC soccer players, long-range freekick shooters ... etc...

I realised that although my soccer skills are not as good as my opponents I have played with throughout my life, I have some kind of good charm that allows me to be at the right place at the right time.

It was Hwa Chong JC's JC2 block test day so almost the entire sch was studying. I hope we did not disturb them but provided them with some form of entertainment =D

Thanks Wenjie for booking the court. HCJC rocks (cuz its freaking big). But most importantly the gals there are quite good looking anyway.

All the best to my platoon mates, the posting is coming out tml =D

Today I only scored a goal, but it turned out to be the most important turning point of a match !

We all know that the Edison Chen scandal is like over but a new video making fun of the scandal has emerged from the video hosting websites on the internet. I have watched it and it REALLY made my day serious. Its real funny. No porn or RA stuff but just humour. Unfortunately its in chinese with chinese subtitles so only chinese ppl can understand =) Below is a screenshot of it =D

Well , I was searching SAFFRA webby becuz I got my letter 2day to go get my saffra card with the Shiro MP4 stuff that I stumbled upon this Maia Lee picture on their website. Curious, I went to do my little research about her. This is wat I found:

Lee quit secondary sch at the age of 15, making a choice to learn through backpacking For a year, she went solo backpacking around SEA countries. [wow she can be my tour guide]

Maia was voted Number 8 in FHM Singapore's World's Most Sexiest Women list, and the FHM Most Outspoken Babe 2005 award. [and I am so gonna be on the cover of 2009 Jan Men's Health magazine b4 my segt gets on it]

her vital statistics are 32E-25-33 [32E wtf. I think I m onli 10A lol]

Lee has a total of eleven tattoos [wth & wtf]

She was reported as of March 2008 to be pregnant with a second child (due in September 2008) by Zidov Dominik, a fighter participating in the reality fighting show The Contender Asia. [wait... wheres the child i had with her? hahas]

she is a pansexual. stated by wikipedia that it means : romantic love and/or sexual desire for people, regardless of their gender identity or biological sex.

And if you read her blog post at http://starblog.stomp.com.sg/post.php?blogid=304 you will know why.

Lines from her blog: "I was so smitten by her that I tried hard to stick by the rules (I didn't), and of course, I forbade her from keeping in touch with the druggies and ex-girlfriends."

Another line : " I guess we really spent TOO MUCH time together. I had my insecurities about her going back with her old girlfriends, and she worried about me running off with a man. "

And she broke up with her gf : " After one massive fight over her ex-gf, we broke up and I broke down (into atoms and molecules). "

And she went crazy/depressed : " I attempted suicide (biggest mistake); got warded into CGH and then transferred to IMH for evaluation. And you thought Mavis Hee went in first."

And I shall end it with a line she says about herself :" Friends have told me not to let the whole world know that I am pansexual, or about my life, my relationships. Frankly I don't care how else people are going to think of me."

POP LOH !

Just had my passing out parade 2day. Didn't upload much pics because I just came home and havn't gotten them yet. The rest of the pics were with my platoon mates =)

The 1st pic is with Yee Yan the president of AJC student council. He taught me dance during OC night and hes gonna go study in Perth too @ UWA. I might meet him again sooner than expected. Forgot 2 ask him intro me to some AJC gals hahas =)

The 2nd pic is of Benjamin's design for Zulu Company shirt. Outstanding.

The 3rd pic is Benjamin's personal farewell message to me. Since hes my other dance instructor for OC night, hes encouraging me to pick up dance in uni. Sure Ben I will when I get into Curtin university =) All the best for Ben in NUS FASS. Ben's a real good guy who teaches spastic/ retarded (this is not a joke) kids dance at Rainbow centres. This ACJC guy sure has a good heart=)

We did a lot during POP. We taupok the CO wth. We slammed and rubbed Segt DQ, Officer Redhuwan and Platoon Segt Mark's private part into the lamppost and a tree. Wth we almost went crazy. Howe Win was not spared too. He was taupoked for throwing a blind (unexploded grenade). We went crazy infront of parents and girlfrens wth.

As for games day I helped Zulu Company win 2nd for my Silver Surfer event. Just happy that I played my part for my platoon and my company =)

The main attraction was the tug of war finals between Cougar and Falcon which Falcon won. Kestrel Company won games day with Quebec in second but what matters is the fun and enjoyment we had at Ladang Stadium. Zulu company I would say was having great bonding =)

Sry to ruin the atmosphere a little but I would like to send my condolences to the parents of the recuit of Bronco Company who passed away. It was unfortunate that he just enlisted and died during a 2km walk at the 1.2 km mark. We heard tat his parents plan to sell the house to pay for his funeral so Zulu Company conducted a donation 2day. Feel realli sad for his parents cuz I also heard tat he may be their onli son as they are not so well-off.

To end off on a happy note, Segt DQ rmb me for the route marches we had and Segt Amir rmb me for girls WTH. Anyway I was gald that Corporal Ong, Segt Amir and Paltoon segt Mark came back for our POP even as they had already ORD-ed =)

I am now officially PRIVATE JOEL !

In this
Season of Babewatch,let me take you through the diff types of girls in this world and what I think of them. I do not have a PHD on Girlogy or Babelogy yet but I will strive to get 1 soon.

Type 1 : Likes to camwhore in sch uniforms and probably put up some act cute faces. Usually wear extra large contacts and like to leave their hair down as cockroach fringes ( btw its cool). Usually friendly and act quite kawaii around their girl clique.
Wat I think of them : They need to grow up more and be more mature and 'sa ciao' less. Basically I think act cute gals are actually cute hahas =D except for some... but that is secondary sch days era...

Girls who think that acting uncute is the new cute. Most likely to put up unglam faces during neoprints wat we call 'gui lian'. During buffet they are most likely to stuff up all the food asap and look like er bullfrog? Can be quite act cute also.
Comments: I hate acting uncute argh. Its fun but it will most likely make one look stupid if she does that all the time. Liddat even the White witch of Narnia is cuter can.

Girls who walk around looking like divas. Like Jolin Tsai look-a-like, Marylin Moure? Likes to dress extragravantly and maybe colourfully. Put up thick make-up and go around saying mirror mirror on the wall , who is the hottest of them all. Usually tie their hair in jap style with dyed golden colours and wearing big belts and boots everytime they go out.
Comments: Siao. Liddat I will see barbie dolls walking on the streets everywhere. Will kena shocked de lor. Like everywhere will be Jolins and Ayumis and Britneys. wth.

Girls who advertise themselves online.
Comments: Its like saying pls add me on my 24th friendster profile because my 23 profiles all full of frens le. Although the gal in the pic is cute, shes like too open liao can. Btw I didnt change anything from the picture. The name age and email of her is true. Go check it out if you like.
Girls with the nice studious look. The gal-next door who you prob see at remedial class or tuition. Probably so smart that every time you meet she asks you about maths bio chem gp phy and every other thing in sch. Most likely bespectacled and walks around with lecture notes and a sweater carrying mind maps and 2 calculators. You prob wont see her in the canteen because she belongs to the library or study corner. During PE lessons she will probably have menstrual cramps or internal bleeding or body ache or feel faint so she prob dunno wat you all do during PE. Forget asking her about sports or serials, she watches 'the arena' on channel 5 and prob news 5 tonite and discovery channel.
Comments: If shes sweet then I would prob smuggle food into the library to share with her =D tats if shes not nerdy looking like a spongebob in glasses...

Supermodel looking gals. Can find them at Expo computer exhibitions or car shows. Most are part time models. Expert at catwalk and posing for cameras.
Comments: I like these type of gals. But it usually means high maintenance. lol. They prob never entered a hawker centre twice in a month. Most have degrees from universities especially SIM UOL (uni of london). Check out Michelle in my frens link.
My dream girl.
Comments: Must like travelling and having fun. May not have a good fashion sense but at least must be decent. Usually dress in Black sweaters (cuz I like gals in black jackets =D). Have minimal make up and doesn't dye hair too colourfully. Loves the simple life and must be damm cheerful and on all the time. Must also be independent and be able to carry herself about. No need to act cute cuz she already is. May not be damm smart to enter NUS/NTU/SMU but usually is an SIM grad or poly grad. The most impt thing is doing wat she likes and is not as materialistic and over-competitive and kiasu as most singaporeans.
Well if you are her, then pls add me on msn hahas =D
I think if I go Perth I can find such gals who are already very independent becuz they are mostly foreigners there studying alone away from home yeah? =D

Tats all folks, I shall leave you with http://youtube.com/watch?v=3YNKA07dWuM . This is the american Idol final 2 performance where David Archuleta sang Apologize with One Republic. Its nice =D

-11:27 AM

I watched the first 2 Euro 2008 matches at my cousin's house and here are my comments:

Czech Rep [ looked like the losing team throughout the match. If its not for their goalkeeper and a bit of luck, they cold actually be trashed. It was a lucky win.]
Switzerland [Nice ball control and nice efforts. They had a lot of shots on goal but were unlucky not to convert their chances. Looked like the winning side instead.]
Portugal [ Played very fast paced with good possession. A lot of long balls and attack. A very interesting match which portugal class outshone the Turks who were trying to keep up the pace]
Turkey [Played very fast paced too but were shocked by the masterclass of the portugese.]

---------------------------------------------------------------
My group A predictions:

It all depends on the next match where winner vs winner and loser vs
loser.
Portugal will most likely top the group and proceed on. I think
runner-up will eventually be Czech who may just scrape through. Turkey lacked
control and Switzerland lost their star player to injury.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Predictions on oncoming matches while I am in camp:

Croatia 2-0 Austria
Germany 2-0 Poland
France 1-0 Romania
Holland 1-1 Italy
Spain 2-0 Russia
Greece 2-2 Sweden

---------------------------------------------------------------

All the best to the following teams I support:

GERMANY
RUSSIA
PORTUGAL
ITALY

Finally after 8 weeks of BMT its POP yay. This is the just released pics of my BMT experience with Zulu Company. Through this period of time I have got to mix around with different people and have witnessed 2 of my segts (Amir and Mark) ORD. My present Platoon segt is Clifford who replaces mark. My platoon mates likes to power, camo, deep-heat rub ppl during their free time as part of their sabo/tekan session they call FIBUA (Fighting In Built Up Areas). Loved the urban warfare =D

My report card:

passed M16 technical handling [and got high fever after my pass]

passed swimming [I am a lifeguard de!]

passed field camp [fun but tough outfield becuz I didn't shit for 5 days]

passed Basic Innoculation Course [I hate leopard crawl cuz theres a lot of sand flying around]

passed live firing [I dunno why I am better at night shoot than day shoot-maybe becuz of tracer rounds =D]

passed live grenade [I was more afraid of dropping the grenade lols]

passed IPPT [Silver yeah]

passed SIT test [passed my mission which requires harnessing ppl from cliffs so I used my rock-climbing skills to tie knots and belay ppl =P]

passed Basic Assault Course [Segt DQ made me go into his lane which is all mud argh. So much for his friendly gesture to call me to go his lane]

passed 24 click route march [I am impressed my myself actually cuz I wasnt shag out at all at 2am]

failed SOC [na who cares. like 3/4 of my company failed anyway and I was like behind my 'platoon best'-to-be rec anyway. And SOC is not counted for BMT anyway.]

I will be seeing some of my friends in Australia Perth if i get there. One of them is my dance instructor for OC night Yee Yan =D

Btw just a random note: Recuits evening's MDC-Music and Drama Company gals are like seducing us can wth. So cosplay sia.

Qubec company is Recuits evening winner

Kestrel is Drill Competition winner

Zulu is Drill competition last place hahas

kk that all. I will be representing Zulu in games day next tuesday for Silver Surfer event =D

-5:30 PM

Well basically this will be a short post because I will head back to camp at 1845 hrs soon. During this short time I managed to dig out some pics of my JC class above which I thought I lost them. Realli miss my frens in my civilian life. Anyway on the bright side I left 24 click route march, BAC, SOC to the end of BMT.

My POP is on the 11 of June yay =)

Btw during my 16 click route march we saw Eagle company(who marched so slowly in front of us that we almost stopped) , Jaguar( who overtook us and rahman and henry waved to me lol) , Qubec ( chun kit's company left for an early march) and Kestrel (who had dinner with us at rocky hill parade square).

The most challenging route march is coming up for us this coming tuesday where we march at night =) 24 km !

Btw I said YES to command sch and I hoped that my SIT test did well enough to qualify. I was a LAW gunner for sit test hahas.

The reason I booked out late on sat is because we had blinds during life grenade :X

Sry frens like chet and chun kit who wanted to have a meal with me.

To end off this post I did a STEP UP DANCE during OC NITE. 5 of us represented platoon 4 to dance on stage hip hop hahas. It was pretty cool learning dance moves =)

HAPPY ORD TO MY SEGT AMIR =) we bought nicorette gum for him hahas. Hope he quits smoking :)

HAPPY POP FOR ME SOON !

*btw i just realised that i still like her when i saw her 2day when i was out with chet and edwin.
