juz back from camp today.


juz reach home from camp.
really tired.. but got alot o things to do..
got to do laundry, study and massage my muscle bit.
this week has been another tough week. not exactly that tough physically as i believe
i have more to offer than juz that. but it is really the mental part really nearly killed me.
and through all these i found out alot of things about myself. good and bad,there are.
e daily routine in camp would be to wake up at 6 or earlier.. i will drag myself out of bed
after hearing my buddies shouting "wake up liao.wake up laio!"
first thing when i woke up will be to look at my hp, is there msges. haha..if there isn't,
i will msg a soft,"good morning! =D" to jas. it was a good old self of mine to do say good
morning to the people i really love. however i guess there are alot of things that cannot
explained by juz an early morning msg. things dun juz happen. things happen for a reason.
and received a msg from jas juz now. i msg overly too much. really too much. jas cannot
take it anymore. in e email, she blasted me for e alot of msges, and how it has affected
her. i was wrong. and am wrong. i made jas felt really miserable and lifeless. i have no
excuse. and i do not need pity or mercy. i am e block in her life right now. obstable block.
its pretty hard to live with someone that msg so much, and call all e time, and try to control
her somehow. no space. really no space ar.. haha.. even i will feel this way.
because of my stubborn self. and my persistence, i caused another person i love to
feel this way. *things i learned about myself (i)i never think when i do things, i do things
more with my heart.* -->jas for ur qns, i did that to all my ex. i think thats y they broke
contact with me completely.and i felt like shit. its my life. i am sinned. i will change. and
minimize e sins. at least i will not make more people suffer.

during training. things will get very heated up(nt temperature) and things will be very luan.
very very luan. heard sir said this once, it is during these period when true leaders emerge.
* (ii) i am 100% sure i am not a leader now. today after soc, i was not exactly tired in compared
to my friends cause my combat fitness is better than them, but, when tanga(leader) told us
to fall in, i was last in e pack to do that. cause i was ignorance. i was thinking of other things.
i was on concentrating on wat things that needs to be done. in e buck juz now, everyone was
busy. some were cleaning the bunk. some were cleaning the toilet, some were cleaning weapons.
then wat was i doing, i was slacking at my bedside. thinking that i should do my own things before
doing other things.i only think of myself, and not e issue at hand first. i was busy thinking of jas,
msging(making her feel like shit.), packing my bag, lying down. when they ask for volunteers to
do SK, i was siaming.. i looked at myself after that. wat e fuck. wat e fuck. wat e fuck. wat e fuck.
wat e fuck am i doing. i have become a cripple, in my heart, i am a useless fuck now. sometimes
when there is a session that needs people to come out and speak. * (iii) i will be getting all nervous
and hyperly excited.* i know i am not a good speaker, cause i lack confidence in myself, as
i fell many times in my life. and they were all really steep falls. especially now. i am experiencing
another break up. and it was not because i did not put in 110%, i followed my principles and
beliefs which is never give up and never leave any regret and do my fucking best and bit more.
my results in A levels suck. cannot get into uni. i am really low in confidence now. but all these
are excuses i give myself. i know i can do better. and i will from now on. my problems i learned this week.. i get too nervous.. it really got to me when i was at e livefiring at e field on thurday.
it was e last livefiring in e late nights. i was pretty much awake. i have did the rehersal 4 times le.
and at e break in point. my heart was pounding, i was smiling to myself, and my friends, in an
attempt to make them feel more at ease. and i was e one that is lacking that. broke in.
the roar was on.. and i was on e floor shooting. with my sir 1m apart and then i was nervous, i was
sure that i have to listened to his command, but i wasn't thinking right. i heard e command that is
not for me and sir to move. it was livefiring!!!! it was live rounds, live bullets. and live bullets go through body will kill!!!!!!!! i stood up and run. sir shot one round out of his rifle's barrel. i saw a
light flashed past my left. not more than 1feet away. i got down. e sgt and sir was shock, and kept
knocking on my helmet. "wat e fuck are you doing!!!!!wat e fuck u did, do u know wat u are doing!!!
don't scare me understand or not. listen to ur sir's order understand or not!!!!!"
i thought i was dead, at that split second when i see and heard e round went out, in my mind,
a picture of jasmine in white, my fav shirt jas wears, e first time i met her for movie, at long johns
cck, flashed. and when i got to the ground. i was feeling blank. iwas like, wat e fuck am i doing.
wat am i thinking. the ans, i was not thinking!
sir said to us later, he saw my in his rifle's scope. he was about to squeeze the trigger. luckily,
e sgt knock his helmet and alerted him of me running. orelse. i am dead.
sir also said, i am his buddy, and i am his buddy. he will risk his life for me, will i?
sir, i will. and for all my buddy i will, for jas i will.
i nearly loss my life. it was an experience i got afew times in commando, and in my life.
this time. i better learn e lesson wat god want to tell me. orelse next time. wrong, there will
be no next time if i ever get into a life and death situation.
after this experience, i feel that i am a new person. kinda newly borned.
i treasure all the things i have more. and i think more. more confidence.
and i mean it.

i wonder when i will be able to become a better person. a real man that my pap and mum will
be proud of. and a person that a girl can depend on. i look at my sir, and my sgt, and all my buddies
and seniors. i feel that i am as good as them. they all, i mean all, have things that i can learn from.
and i will not stop learning.

lastly i will like to tell jas something here, "Jas i am sorry."
i know its impossible for me to move on. but i will let u move on. take care.
thank you god for telling me alot of things this week.
i am amazed by how u teach me things.
u break me up. break me to pieces
and lead me back to one piece.
may god bless jas.

a belt of thoughts


i always wanna tell jas after yesterday, in a really strong and decisive manner,
that i want to be a commando. and i will become one.
after sir interviewed me yesterday. he knew my problems and how i was feeling
and the things i am going through. he juz told me one thing, never fucking let
yourself down, even if u do, you muz know that you have tried your best.
this sent chills down my spine. it was my past belief. and i know he meant well.
he was trying to encourage me.

i was also know as e CSLC(not commando small team leader course), but
country singtel loyal customer. a nickname given to me by my bunk mates.
i was constantly on e phone. but i have to. cuz i dun wanna be late to reply.
will always stay at e corner between both e beds, and lie there. and wait for reply.
funny me. but i was juz trying my best. cuz she means alot to me.
oh ya, another joke. we are going to AHM(army half marathon) in months to come.
but my friends always say i will be one that will confirm win. AHM-Army Handphone marathon
haax.. thats how they see it. wahaha.. crazy buddies i have. but they are
juz being caring. =)

sir also point out somethings that i have to take note of.
as a commando to be. i will be getting my red beret soon. the red beret in a military
means elite airborne solider of e world. we are e elite, i am an elite.
imagine my sir saying that to me ppl.. haha.
i went like.. wa.. all along.. i have been taking pity of myself. of all the shit i am going
through in camp. it sucks like hell.. look at other of my friends.. they are
slacking while i am working so bloody hard. it sucks.
but to be e smallest population unit in the whole of SAF, and being at e same time
the best in e SAF, to wear that red beret. it means alot about this human being.
suddenly all my -ve feelings are eradicated.
i am going to be the best. going to be a better man. and a man that ppl will see and go
man.. he is not simple, he is somebody.
i am slowly getting rid of my soft spoken, unsensitive self. by being more expressive, and
observant. be more engaging all over again. these are my weaknesses.
i am getting stronger as e day passes.

there is one sir said that i will never forgot.he said->
"every night before you sleep, take ten minutes to see how you can do better and make
things better. go and reflect. and make decisions on how to change. dun be afraid. because
if you are, no one will be calm. be strong and things will get better. know your own weakness
and your strength. if u know you are not that clever, work doubly hard to get to where
those stronger are. sometimes i work so fucking hard, but i get 85%, but my fnd nv study
so much, get 95%. what can i say, they are cleverer la. thats all. i have tried my best. thats
that. cause u never let urself down. appreciate things, orelse when things are gone. you will
learn e lesson of appreciating things e hard way. for that, go sleep. tomorrow, will be better."

e above paragraph was quoted from wat he said. he talked for 43mins.
a real nagger, but a real inspirer.

i like you too jas.

you hate e burden feeling.

but is ignoring is not the best way.

i hope we can run it out tomorrow.

you will feel better.

and things will be better.

=)

A Commando To Be, A Man To Be.

eating some "CHA CHA" brand of beads chocolate now helped me calm down bit..

this whole week has really been a taste of what there is to come next.
its not exactly that tough, its manageable.
this monday went for team life firing, and it was a really new experience.
live rounds loading into e rifle, and shooting it. killing the targets.

its really scary, because i was worry that i might shoot someone.
but things went really smoothly.. i was pretty accurate.
we ended pretty late. due to some cock up here and there.. and
everyone, got frusrated. reach back camp real late. and everyone

is feeling sucky. haha.. and yea.. punishment followed, and we paid for it.

after that day, e next few days were days where we did alot of saikang,
and learn all the drills needed in battle. this is not tough, but more of
staying focus.

yesterday.. while all e detachment came back from e live firing, they
told us.. we fucked up. took too long to return to camp. and ya..
alot o mistakes committed. we are
really asking for it now.
the whole day, did drills. and then at night, before we book out..

we were told to fall in in Full Battle Order.
upon going downstairs...

STANDS A ROW OF RED BERETS.


we were being tekan like never before.
we were all tired, but we have to pay e price and learn.
thats sir's intention.

although i myself felt like shit.. but i told myself.
i have to jia you.
thats kinda my golden word eh..jas? haha.

there are alot o things that are going on.
but e thing is, we hanged on as one.
1..2...3.....100..200.. jumping jacks.. we counted and did everyone of them.

we sweated like a pig. we never groan. we never say "yes sir" when e sir ask us to give up.
we were man, going through all these. together.
someone said, one chopstick easy to break, one bunch of chopsticks..
hard to break.
and we are hard to break. we will not break.
tired as i am.. i drew strength from none other than jas.
she did not call me or msg me as frequently anymore.
but wherever i go. her photo and e ring, never leaves my side.
every count of push up, i will count in my heart..J..A...S...M...I..N..E...I..LURVE..U..

pushing myself, beyond my limits. my thigh is failing me.. but i kept it moving..
my arms are strong, so i try to help my buddies by encouraging them.
my mind is clear, so i help my buddies who are tired and not really thinking..
hendon camp was very loud yesterday night. and we showed everyone,
we are willing to pay e price for wat we did.

this week also marks e week where i really understand, in my heart, truely, how
jas is feeling. burdened. tired. headache. cough. everything is coming..

she needs to get out of this shit.
in one months time.. exams are coming. and its not easy for her->to balance so many things.
one have to give way.. and i have to give way.
really wanna see jas do well. and really well.
queensland uni will be easier to get in if results are there.
i was not ambitious when i told u i wanted to go to australia to study with ya.
i have kinda set my mind. its not a sacrifice. neither is it a 2yr together, 2 year away kinda thing.
nor is it a tough decision. i made it right after i discussed it with you.
i don't need jas to commit to a relationship now. i repeat.. no need.. =D
we have to get our priorities right. and things will be easier for us.
now. lets jia you for our exams. your mps/smart and my ns.
we will be friends,good friends. maybe a close friend, or watever ppl call it.
don't feel any burden. cause u are free..


jas you can depend on me, and i will not let you fall, never again.
sorry i made you so miserable. lets learn the mistake, and move on. i wanna let you see a new
more responsible,sensitive,a guy who has a future, a man that u will want to have.

so much said.. haha..
remember i am just a call away. any problem, or anything u wanna tell me, dun keep inside. juz shoot. you asked,"can i talk to you like how i used to?" my answer to you,"yes dear, definitely."

tata..

life


i am juz not a person that can give hope. i was too full of myself.

e peng yong that was from e past was a guy full of dreams and enthusiam about life.
life has always been seen as peng yong as a heaven on earth. where hopes and dreams
are fulfilled. peng yong has always uphold this belief, and this made peng yong a
motivator, a person that someone look on and smile.
but reality is stronger than peng yong. and peng yong admits. now.

i am never that strong. i was always juz pretending. pretending to be strong in
unrest. to be a pillar to many in their life. a person, in this world that believe in e
impossible. my past is nothing with e end of a laugh now. "haha.."

peng yong. please wake up. i wake up.

practical versus a dream.

many says america is a country build by hope, and, dreams.

i say, peng yong is a person built by guilt, sorrow and pain. i have felt it all my life.

i will not run away from it anymore.

life is never meant to be hopeful. bread and butter, material aims, thats e main shit of it.

haha.

let there be no more people like me. they will suffer.

life . . . i understand you now.

a place i wanna be in.

army life can be sometimes quite an interesting,yet at other times, irritating and helpless place..
i am not suppose to talk so much about army.. so i should try to talk less about it
haha.. military regulation in process..
there are alot of times in camp i faced alot of problems.. and feel really stress.. mentally. emotionally. physically. it comes from all direction
although i am the one that is feeling this way.. but, i know there is this person that is suffering.. more than i am.
that is jasmine. my girlfriend.
it has been really tough for her.. she has commitment to many many things in this world.. she worries about her parents, her sister, her housework, her studies. other than all these .. she has to help out in her cca and also an organization outside.. it is really pack. sometimes i will sit down and look sumwhere.. staring into blankness. i will wonder how dear is ever going to cope with all these... but she did. she tried to take things as it comes. do everything she likes up to her best of her ability. she never stops. she keeps going.. she always say, " i am happy ar, doing e things i like." sometimes i wonder if she is trying to console herself. but after 6 mths i have been so close to you, dear.. i feel that u are really strong.

it is a fact of life
even the strongest needs someone to depend on.
dear i am always here. although far from you. i am always here.
don't hesistate to call me or msg me, or juz drop me a mail, or even write me a letter bout it.
it is tough,being,growing up.
i am feeling the pinch of reality too.. juz like you.
however i do not back down from it. there has been some failures in my life i am currently going thru.
but like you. i am standing strong.
these 8 months.. it is a period that we are suppose to think of us, and juz us. think bout it.. trying to really figure each other thru thinking.. so far, things has been quite a roller coaster, and i predict that it might still be long till we are on track to being stable.
i am a guy that will never give up. that is e kind of guy i am.
lets jia you. =)

there are alot of things that i wanna tell you dear. and there are also alot of things that i wanna know, because i am quite puzzled and i wanna ask . wat better place than here eh? haha..
dear many a times.. i wonder if i should try to give dear more free time or not. as u know, i am always msging you, almost non stop, 24/7. and always call whenever i feel like.. sometimes i listen to dear's words.. i am not really sure dear is ok with me calling or msging so often. and i will go into a big round round all over again.. thinking and thinking of the same qns. dear don't reply as frequently as before. is it because of this 8 months break we are in? or because you are so busy,which you are now.. i believe dear provided me with an answer before.. and it is that you are busy.. and when you are doing sth, you dun really check ur hp and sometimes its because of e time, if its too late, you will think that i need rest. and never reply, or call back.

dear the fact is that, in camp, ( iknow you hear this alot o times le..) i miss you.
i want to hear your voice, anything that i can get contact with you, i wanna give it a try.
and many a times, i feel that i made u really irritated and frustrated. i will think that
my msges really made you feel like a real bored.. every time asking the same thing,"are you busy?
having dinner? telling you about e things that happened in camp"
i try my best to grab your attention. i admit to that. and dear, if u feel that you have enough
of these nonsense from me.. haha.. tell me alright? juz tell me to msg less.. call less..
for now. i shld try to cut down.
tell me about wat u think eh? pls pls? haha..

i feel that i am starting to figure out dear more and more.
but i need that special time with you, once a week(if possible), e night chats..once inawhile de jiayou, de miss you. do you need them too dear?
i sometimes think.. why can't i be on top of ur priority list, so that dear can really make more time for us. dear, opportunities are not always given, we have to make them too.

okok. dear, breathe in.. breathe out.. this is alot o things to digest.
really alot.
but dear, i understand our situation now.
lets take it step by step eh? thats wat u are emphasizing eh? haha..
i hope i hit e jackpot on that..
i miss you.
