Please, Please, PLEASE tell me you like text.

this may be long.

Wow i was supposed to blog two weeks ago, but alot of things came up. for example

Cowboy Bebop the Movie : Shit is awesome. Spike is awesome. Faye is awesome. ... so its awesome

Combat Arms: New MMO im playing to waste time for now. like cs, only i seem to suck a little less. i lag sometimes but i dont know why either...

Lazing around. so i'll be blogging, but who knows when the post will actually go up.

 

if you are wonderign about my spelling, dont. i cant be bothered. this is what i have been reduced to. a useless fatty. who cant spell or do math. why why is morale so low?

 

ok lets start on the 27th? i think that was a monday. had to go camp early to get ready for our ORD parade rehearsal. we had to be there by 7 coz the thing was at 7.30. everyone was ready by 7.15 but there was no notification. so just slacked in bunk.

then someone shouts that the rehearsal was pushed back to 10. we swore, and went to canteen. talked abit. we got our ord function ticket, as well as 2 tickets to the parade. i didnt want to give to my parents [2only? and 5pm at maju on a thursday. haha kill yourself pls.]

but before the rehearsal started, landy called us from the 1st floor.

Landy [L]

L: MPSP3 heads out

Me: ...hi?

L: Sivam come down.

Me: ...bye.

L: oi serious la.

Me: what? why?

everyone else coming out

L: need to do ord video

Me: why me?

if kenneth was there [he wasnt, some uni thing], he would have gone 'WHY ME? WHY MEEEEE?'

L: coz need one indian, one chinese and one malay... and you know...

Me: fuck la, i only idian in platoon. is that why they had to send me to 6sir? for the freaking racial harmony

my platoon: ...yea

Me: fine. Noh, Yao, u guys comin

Noh: eh wat? i dun want

Me: too bad

L: smart 4 [rehearsals in vest+slack so that was damn evil]

Me: dammit la dun wanna change

Yao: aiyah just bring everything down, later just change.

me: ok fine, dont forget to rbign your stuff

Yao: im not going

Me: of course you are

Yao: shit la, dun wan.

Me: too bad, youre the best talker so you gotta come

Yao: no the best talker is you

Me: STFU and come

And so we headed to our platoon to do the video. the first video we did was 'too candid'. i couldnt help it really, i only function decently when i assume everything is a huge joke. when they said we had to take it seriously i kinda froze up. its funny how i seem to go all motormouth whenever i assume i can say wahtever i want, but i freeze up and keep quiet when they say it has be serious. Serious Sivam just looks mean, and feels evil. after the video, we spent an hour talking to our pc about random stuff. Skip morning practice successful!. the hilights of that talk with our pc was that he told me that i have a vry disturbing mentality. regarding my future. or lack of it. in summary, i scary, not normal bla bla as long as im not married, amirite? [yea im right]

rehearsals in the afternoon was ok. i learnt something in the army. the only reason that everything last so long is because in any function/mission, they will give one this one near impossible to master quickly step, and make you rehearse that all the way. same thing here. standard stuff, and then one near impossible step that too much time. dammit, if only they'd tell themselves 'hey, lets take that out.' but nooo. 'put it in! i got time, and i want to see them squirm' seems to be the thought going through them at those moments.

aft that i went home. had to top up my freaking card coz i ran out of money. i remember the good old days where the bus and train fare together would cost less than the train fare now.... wtf i feel old saying that. fuck it. [im swearing alot? i wonder why]

 

on TUESDAY was the second day of rehearsal. we couldnt stay in camp coz by right we were on off and we didnt really need to come back. there was also another reason i dont think i can write it without gettin tagged by the government [oh you dont think it will happen, but when it does, you will definitely be shitting bricks.]

aft the morning rehearsals [which were hell , by the way thanks for asking]. we went to eat at the canteen. vik from sp4 joined us so it was a huge gang going. i sat down with pq, yao and vik and we were discussing stuff such as PUA-ing . i swear those 2[vik and yao, pq is already chained... i mean attached] talk abt stuff like that like how i talk about games. bunch of nerds, get a life [lol irony on my blog.].

there was something that was epic tho

Yao: you know , you should go out more, meet chicks, follow us

Me: yea, no. expensive, lazy and unlike you guys, i cant do the whole two steps forward one step back thing. chivalry is dead in the world but for some reason i follow it

Yao: and look where has that gotten you,

Sivam: shut up

Vik: look yao, ignore him, he's indian.

Sivam: dude, i dont know if you have noticed, but... you are too

Vik: no im not

Sivam: right. keep living in that illusionary world of yours.

PQ: hey you know what i just realized, this is the first time i seen you eat

Sivam: wtf so?

PQ: i know all those times you wish for me to go canteen with you to see you eat, and finally b4 we ord, i come once! arent you happy

Sivam: you're not even eating you bloody veggie [yea my buddy pq is vegetarian. you know why? ask him, the answer will shock you. {seriously, the love of a woman, or a whopper? take the damn whopper!}]. and the only reason you came now if coz it was lonely in bunk.

Yao: hey pq when you get married , are we invited

Sivam: carrots at banquet? no thanks. but id prolly go for the lulz.

PQ: o yea you know what i realized? during the 2 years in the army... i think i got stupider

Sivam: ...what?

Yao: yea..wat?

PQ: im about to ord and i realized i forgot alot of stuff. like when i go to movies with my friends,  ppl have to explain the movie to me so i know whats goin on

Sivam: lol.. you know

PQ: what? same thing happen to you

Sivam: nope, and you know why? coz i know wahts goin on. its not the army thats making you stupid, youre just an idiot haha. you are the stupid

PQ: =(

Sivam: please, the other two were thinking it. im your buddy, so i have the guts to say it =D. cheer up. no matter how stupid you are, at least you can meat.. oh wait. you cant.. sux to be you

Yao: see this guy has potential

Vik: only on guys

Sivam: please dont it say it that way.

In the afternoon we had rehearsals again. kenneth was there,the old man, law was still mia. went home with jin wei. lucky he live in simei, got company till then.

 

went home, watched abit of Dennou Coil. not a bad show i know i was having conversation on msn and it went like this between me and alvin. alvin is a guy i met through jason at the cosfest. high power level. of course my power level is low so meh

Me: o btw

Me: for Dennou Coil, everyone is 12

Me: z

Alvin: YES

Alvin: err, i mean ok.

 

this is proof. of what, you may ask? i leave it up to you.

 

wednesday i went the morning rehearsals, aft they ended, they said we had a prize giving ceremony in the afternoon, and the Bn had full dress rehearsal. escape full dress thanks to body FFI!.

the afternoon event was just the presentation of the spartan statue to all ord-ing personnel. nothing fancy, just a cool lookin mini spartan statue that can be substituted as a paperweight [ you might think thats funny, but her, its keepin my papers from flying. im suprised they spelt my name correctly , but her, as long as i dont have to return it and wait again.

the body ffi was fucked up. we went there [me, wb, sm, loo, kim, wan, khai.] , they asked to fill out a form, which we did. then we waited. then they asked us to come in, took our blood pressure [mines normal! im surprised!] and took our blood. now im not really afraid of needles, but im not around them often so of course when you see someone piercing you , you do feel a bit sqeamish.. the worst part was that after all that, we had to wait almost an hour for the doc to see us, only to be told 'everything is a-o-k! sign paper and leave pls' and we ended after the rehearsals, so the rest of them left already. wtf.

on the train ride back home with derek, steven and jin wei, i had a freaking runny nose. i thought it was just random. by the time i got home, i had damn sore throat was super sleepy. watched tokyo godfathers [not a bad movie. i like everyone was related to each other lol.], popped 2 panadols, went to sleep.

thursday was the worst day of the week. i woke up feeling like hell. it was confirmed, i was sick. throat was dry, nose was perpetually dripping, and couldnt talk for nuts. used my phone to communicate with everyone by typing. i asked my pc if icould skipped morning practice and go for the rehearsal in the afternoon. he told me to go mo, and get myself checked. was too lazy to go mo early in the morning so i endured the morning practice.

sadly after practice, i felt dead, so in the end I SKIPPED THE ACTUAL PARADE. of all the motherfucking luck. i attened mostof the rehearsals and for the parade , the part that mattered most, i couldnt attend. thank god, no one came to the parade to see me. can you imagine? you invite someone, then they go there, but they never see you. what the hell.

of course, it doesnt mean i didnt invite anyone. i did invite a person, but the person could not attend as the person had other plans. oh well at first i was sad the person couldnt attend, but then i was lucky that the person did not attend in the end.. so that means.. awww..but yay..

 

anyway, we had a run on morning after, but i really couldnt move from my bed so i decided to sleep over and go for the run the next day if i felt better. i didnt have dinner coz i was asleep throughout the whole parade thing [thats what happens when i get sick. total body shutdown.] for some reason, kim,noh, and wan were in camp until 11. apparently they wanted to stay overnight for the run as well and they had brought food. they invited me over, saying that i was sick and need ot eat something b4 i take my meds again [i was survivng on a couple of panadols and vitamin c tablets. the vitamin c ran out fast [chewable, so i popped em like candy. the panadol... i dont wanna die that early.] . the food was good! it was nice eating with them. although i was not in the mood to do anything. zz. im grateful that they were in camp and invited me for dinner so late in the night. it goes to show some people are actually..kind. rare.

on friday, i didnt even go for the run. i slept until 9 o clock i think, by the time i woke up, everyone had already ran and were showering etcetc.i felt better. was finally coughing so that was a good sign. went home in the late morning, coz the ord function was that night.

 

lawrence, me and yao. my 2 closest friends during my army life, from mp command till now. law is in nus, yao is moving to england, and me.. i dunnoe. but yea. great guys are unforgettable. stupid lawrence didnt attend the parade tho, the hacker. in case youre wondering. i was still sick and recuperating from my flu, and am im not a photo person. i dont smile, an i tend to look stoned, drugged, a convict, and evil. plus my eyes are small. i think its all of then..never mind.

i still wanted to go for the function coz i paid 105 dollars for me. i dont care how sick i was, 105bucks is a 105bucks man.

i was supposed to meet law and co at 6, but i was late. i bumped into farhan at outram and went with him instead. we met bk, wc, and loo. then we all took the bus together.

the event was ok i guess. thanks to the seating, got seperated from the platoon. but i had  pq and khai for company. and my table had hq ppl. like benny, so it was ok.

lets see, event wise, it was meh. the emcee was cute. a little hyper for my taste, but thats her job scope i assume.

something stupid happened tho. in middle of the event, she announced that she wanted 2 ppl from every company who were good in math, [4companies, 8 people, z] to come on stage in 5 mins time. my whole platoon was ready to drag me zz. benny was the other side of the table saying ' oh sivam, you die liao lol.' didnt even help, than jerk.

so there i was goinon stage. i was thinking to myself,'ok math, should be ok, but i dont know who im up against. i only know how to do basic calculations only!!' then, the guy near the stage hands me ... a glass of beer.

FUCK.

lets recap. i dont really drink. well.. ok i do drink cocktails, but thats when they force me out to go drinking, which is almost never. i like the grasshopper, especially at MOS, and Arena. perfect taste. ive tried a Manhattan, a Mojito, Blue Hawaiian. Long Island Ice Tea, or whatever it's called. a Blueberry Magerita or watever. Oh, also a lime daiquiri. why are my drinks so girls? never mind. although the grasshopper is my favourite heh.

 

i dont touch malts. the yellow stuff [before anyone says 'but you like yellow!', shut up.]. i cant stand the smell zz. so i do drink cocktails, if rarely. i just dont touch actual beer.

 

so naturally the first thing to pop in my head when i held the glass was 'WTF is going to happen to me??'. the other guy said, theres a slight possibility that  they will give us a fraction a ask us to drink that amount... or something.

 

turns out we played 7up. so we stand in a line, and we start to count rapidly, just that for everyone number with a 7 in it, or a multiple of 7, we say our battalion name. if we screw it up, we need to drink half a glass in a gulp. 2 lives sounds cool.

now that was scary. i never drank before, so i didnt wnat to. my objective was to not drink. so all i had to do was just try and win.

it was going smooth until the4th guy dropped out. me and the other guy from my company had 3 lives life [he drank 1] , 2 companies were down. and we were head to head with the other company 3:3. then i made a mistake! fuck , so i had to drink half right.. i couldnt. i only drank 1/4. then the emcee said 'thats not half' . sigh i tried again. reach 1/3.

and then she goes 'o this guy is cute! like a virgin , never drink b4'

my soul died right there. i got pissed, so i made sure that i wont drink again. we took down one of the guys so all that was left was me[1 life], the other guy from ym company [1 life], and the enemy[2 lives.] so technically same chance of winning.

the next round was easy for me. i was in the middle, so i all i got was even numbers. all i had to do was say my battallion name every 7 times. we managed to take down the enemy once! but sadly the next round, the other guy lost. then i knew i was screwed. depending on where she starts, i'll be screwed. if even, its safe. if odd, i die. 1 life left each side.

 

i lost. luckily amid the chaos of congratulating the winner, i passed my glass to one of my platoon mates. i cant take the stuff seriously. bitter as fuck. its like... warm tasteless...i dont know, dammit.

so thats what happened in my function. not only did i drink beer for the first time even though i swore never to take malts, i lost in maths competition. know you know my life is fail. I should die right? i mean, what am i good for if i can do math as simple as that?

i still had not recovered from my flu bout so i went back to my table feeling like hell. pq helped my by getitn some warm water. but the water did nothing. in fact the water made it worse, coz my throat suddnely was burning and i couldnt speak for nuts, spent the next half hour using my phone to tell pq to help me get water. my buddy is awesome.

after the function, we headed to clarke quay to party the night. actually i just accompanied lawrence coz i needed a ride home. the rest had fun. Soon Hwa was drunk...im sorry, 'high' as he called it, as he got a number of some chick udring the function. i struck out twice i dont really care. i only did it for lulz, not expecting anything. although why i did it twice was questionable. oh well, take the bad with the...less bad.

we headed to lunar and stayed there until 3am. yao ordered something big and expensive, but didnt touch it. think it was a chivas, and a grey goose. i already screwed myself with the malt so i didnt want to touch anything. i got a water and passed to everyone. they took a sip and said stuff like ' like no taste le.' or 'wat is this, like nothing liddat'. when i told em it was water i got the finger. i ordered a grasshopper from them. presentation wise, it was nice. 4 cut straws to act as legs, 2 cherries, sliced halfway, and used as eyes, the stalks as antennae. taste wise, less sweet. the previous few i had tasted like ice cream, not alcohol taste.. so i guess u can down those, be careful. this one had a strong taste of alcohol. almost everyone got buzzed. they just kept jumping around, shouting 'ord ord' even though like half of them ord in september. the bar was nice. pretty loud..but its a bar. the music was nice. they were only singing chinese songs at first, so i thought...aww that sucks. but they did some english songs, and i must say they were pretty good. they sand the song 'hate myself for loving you' which was also performed at our function. coincidence? i think not.

 

 

Soon Meng, Me and Yao again.

another pic. sorry i look like that. i said, not a photo person. ive been puttin pics in my post the past few days coz i learnt how easy it was with windows live writer. fuck yea.

after lunar, we headed to zouk. and met mj over there. we went to velvet underground for awhile. i think i saw fiona xie over there. then soon hwa confirmed by going ' eh eh eh! look look' couldnt care less myself. her  hair made her face too big. lol

then we headed to phuture which was crowded as hell. we stayed for an hour, then me and law went back first.

we headed back to the lunar area, to get to the mac for some food. i was in the mood for a mcspicy, but it was already 4.30am. so breakfast was being served. in the end, i had hot cakes, law had..mc griddles. just an expensive mcmuffin imo. then we took a cab back home.

i slept for 2 hours, then i had to go to AH to get my dental checkup

i had to get my wisdom teeth checked, since the guys a my dental ffi told me it looks erupted. i was sleepy as hell but it was fast. appointment at 1015, ended by 1115-1130, effecient. saw the x-ray. one of the bottom teeth was inside the gum which was nice to see. scheduled to go in 22nd. and 23rd and 24th theres an idp function i want to attend to check something. sigh, that sucks.

 

nothing else special happened since then, been at home doin stuff. so i shall stop her for now. i congratulate whoever got this far. truly the king of readers.

 

ok this is the end of the post. cant think f anything else, tell me if i forget.

have a non serious picture in a serious post!

 

[on tuesday 5/8/08. mi and 5 of my platoon mates, went to AMK to eat ice cream at andersen's. someone ordered brownies, someone ordered apple pie, i ordered cream puffs. and we sat there discussing where to go for high tea next week.

 

it was only on the bus an hour later that i realized how GAY....sorry.. how FABULOUS... that would look and sound if i had to explain. dammit.]
