It consists of the five balancing stations, emergency brake/push start, and last of all, the circuit test. Got 6 points! Passing point is 10 points max lah. Heng heng make it only, cause really got alot of failures today. 23/58 passed. I think they put water in the end and just let us pass loh. Haha. Damn happy to pass lo, was really stress and gan chiong before taking the test. Hmmm, so should i go take up the 2b license? Everyone is saying riding bike is dangerous. I know it is dangerous lah, but still it's the cheapest form of own transport. Maybe will register for it on July ba. Jue Dui Superstar!Today is the female's performance. It's not really good as compared to last week's. Only number 1 got a better mark from the 5 judges. Later 1130pm the result will be out for which 2 guy and lady will be out of the contest.

Drifting, Piao Yi..Initial D is really a cool show. Watched it yesterday night with my 11 friends! Haha, 1 whole row all my people. The drifting in the show is damn cool, just like the animations! They make Jay mahchiam god of racer in the show. He took the role of Takumi. Though the movie does not really follow the exact storyline of the animation, the show is still quite nice. My favourite part of the show is where Jay sees his gf together with another guy. He runs away and drives his car in tears. Emotional part! After which went to Robin house to play mahjong. Haha, Pakleng got so much to say about his tekong life. Standard one lah, everyone come out from his first book out sure got alot of experience to talk about one. Yeekai also got quite alot to talk about his Sispec life, he is in Foxtrox company. Oh yah and also Wee ern got reposted to Sispec liao! Haha, he's in Alpha company. Good luck to dem!! And today is Emi's birthday! Wish her a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Be happy always and stay as cheerful as possible!! Everything shun shun li li in your future endeavour!! Okay, today is sunday le, short weekend as usual but at least don't need to book in! Haha. Tomorrow got another theory test, wish me luck! Mood: Good , Ratings: 8/10

It's thursday. Time flies when you are learning new things. As you all know, i'm on a bike course now, learning how to ride a class 2b bike. It's just like yesterday is monday. But it's already thursday now! Okok. Today roughly learnt whatever we will be tested in the circuit le. Balancing, E-brake, Push-start the bike and last, the circuit. I quite afraid i starting the balancing station fail liao sia. It's really not easy to balance your bike on a plank for 6 seconds. Then if fail 1 station must redo everything liao! Not easy!
Yibin came back from his JCC at Brunei liao! Woo and he passed it! Great feat! And he's gonna commission next month! Another batch of new officers will be borned again. Good luck to him and hope he gets a good posting.
Well, as for another side, Pakleng is booking out from his confinement at BMT after 14 days tomorrow! Haha the king of our group is finally out! Haha. Well, Songyan organised a movie outing this saturday to watch Initial D, dunno confirm anot. Well, another major gathering yet again! Haha.

Yan Lei De Wei Dao..
One of my favourite songs now. It's sang by energy, but i they will disband soon. Should be right after their last concert in Singapore. I always wanted to go watch energy's concert because they are one of the chinese boybands that can really dance. They used to have 5 members, including Toro. Now that Toro has left quite some time ago, they are reduced to 4, and their reason of disbanding is because Ah-Di injured his back. Think can't dance for quite some time. Then their this coming concert won't be as nice to watch, as there's only 3 people dancing le. But this song "Yan Lei De Wei Dao", Ah-Di is lead singer! Haha. Will go and check it out what's the pricing for this concert. Anyway i don't think i can find anyone to go watch with me also! Haha. Searching... Loading... Loading...
Event Title: I-Plus present(s) Energy Goodbye Singapore Concert 2005, 9th July 2005.
Standard - S$128, S$108, S$88, S$68, S$48, S$28
Haha, still got $28 one sia. I think is see ants perform. Haha.
Bike course progress.
Hmm, everything has been progressing well. Just taken my "Highway Code" test that i mentioned on Sunday's blog. Also known as basic theory loh. Take liao straigthaway know results liao. I passed, but tomorrow then will know the marks. As for practical side, we learn quite alot of things le. Moving around in the circuit freely by ourselves already. The instructor has brought us ride around the circuit and told us the test route 1. Gotta memorise the way if not lost liao immediate failure! Haha. Now more or less change gear and stopping getting more smooth le, but sometimes turning still abit not smooth. No choice lah, the learning pace is abit too fast liao. But at least my group still have not stayed back for any of the remedial training lessons! Haha. All the other groups all stay back before le because they cannot catch up. Yeah man i gotta keep up with the pace!
Oh yeah and also i need not wake up at 5.15am le! Can wake up much later at around 5.50am. Because i found someone who lives in bt batok that his dad drives him to the camp! Then i can lombang his car. But his dad car is actually a taxi lah, so my other friend who took his taxi before me always pay his dad $3. So i will be paying also loh. I don't mind lah, can wake up later! Haha! Damn shiok! =)
HMM.. So what else? Guess nothing much le, be back to blog soon again!

Quite some day never post le. Been lazy to post recently due to the fact i've got nothing much to type here also mah, so no point updating. Haha. Everyday is just learning to ride bike for me. But it's getting more and more fun in riding, but dangerous at the same time also. On saturday, i finally get to engage to the 5th gear. Shiok! I jitao speed to around 60km/hr. Haha actually can go higher but the circuit too small, don't allow us to reach that speed. Well the turning is not really as easy as i though but i still manage to master it at the end of the day though. Stopping also not very easy once you reach the 5th gear cause u gotta slow then then clutch in then faster change down to gear 1 then gotta brake and stop nicely just on the whiteline. The controls i roughly know le lah, need more experience in riding. But i won't want to stay back for extra lessons! Other than the practical handling, comes the most boring part. THEORY! Gotta study and learn the different signs on the road, "Highway Codes". Sian, then got to go homework somemore. Got so many MCQs to do. Lemme count. Part 1 got 120 qns, part 2 got 142. Omg, i just finish part 1 only, later in the night then start doing part 2. Well, tomorrow is another day of learning. Thinking of waking up as early as 5.15am also sian, if not sleep early tomorrow sure damn sleepy one.
Kk enough of my bike stuffs. Then what's next? Weight gaining plan? Haa, weight still stagnant at ard 54kg. And taking those gainers is really heaty, getting slight sore throat liao. Have to drink more water. And everyday back from bike i also lazy and tired to go do workout at gym liao, actually come back liao also quite late le, also no time.
Oh yeah, Shikai just came back yesterday morning from taiwan! Heard from him that R&R was quite fun! But training wise is damn siong, plus bad weather. But no matter what also over le, next up more siong is to go Brunei. Good luck to him! And also, yeekai got his posting le, he went to sispec, hopes he go to Bravo Coy! Haha then i can ask my ex ps to tekan him. Well as for wee ern he got posted to become a driver. Good or bad i dunno, cause last time i just saw a driver go DB. Drivers always has the tendency to go DB for slight mistakes. But good thing is very slack lah! Haha. Good luck to both of them too! Scarly yeekai tio crossover for OCS? Haha. Let's see!

It's baadddd day until this evening.. Found my camp pass le! Yea! Heng sia, if not have to sign 3 extra duties and payment for a new card is 50bucks! Okay, finally got this load of my mind, if not i keep worrying about this freaking matter and spoil my mood for learning bike.
Today started off by learning the parts of the bike and how to bring up the bike if we buang(fall). The bike is really heavy, imagine it's just a class 2b bike. 200cc only lor! Heard from the instructor the bike is roughly 140kg. Today have start riding it yet, only let us push and reverse the bike manually only. I heard tomorrow basic handling of the bike will start! Wahaha! Finally lah!! Faster learn liao then i go out book civilian 2b license liao. Then maybe will start saving for a small bike liao! Haha, can't wait! I know it's gonna be dangerous riding a bike but i will be very careful!
Remember on the earlier post i mentioned i want to gain weight? Haha, have been taking gainers and well, my weight have been staying at 54.5kg for this 2 days. Which means it has stablised liao. If not last time my weight will flutuate at the range of 53-54kg. Good! Got improvement. Gotta work on my body, maybe tomorrow will go for a short gym session to tone abit. Hope my 58kg target can be reached! =)

Bad day..
It's a real bad day. I found out i cannot find my camp pass at home. And i remember bringing it out of camp. Damn. Hopefully i have remember wrongly and left it back in camp ba. Tomorrow will be going back camp to find, but the problem is, no camp pass cannot enter camp! Hai! Must exchange 11b for a visitor pass, and that is damn mafan! Please.. Please let the camp pass be on my table in my room in camp! If really lost, i'm worried have to sign extra, then weekend at stay in camp liao. Sian! Anyway i also never bring out enough uniform for my bike course, tomorrow can go back camp grab a few more pairs of uniform back home.
Bike course started..
Well, everyone thought the bike course was a 8-5 course. But who knows?! We were told to report to the ulu camp at khaki bukit at 715am!! That's damn unreasonable for me who live so far away lah. Unfair la, i have to wake as early as 5am to prepare and catch the early early mrt. Damn. And i thought it's a 5 day week course, but who knows again?! It's a 5 1/2 day course, which means saturday still got to go back for 1/2 day. Jitao sian diao, bike course isn't so good afterall, it's only good that it is stay out and can sleep my own bed everyday for 5weeks.
Argh, overall a damn bad day lah. All because of the missing camp pass. ZzZ!

Well hi guys. Surprised to see me blog today? Think i'm using the computer in camp to blog? Nah. I'm at home! Haha. Why? Off day yesterday and today. Tomorrow starting my bike course already. Long weekend passed really fast!
Yesterday went sentosa with yeekai, soonlee and steve. Well, it's enjoyable! Long long time never go siloso beach liao. Last time i guess was in my poly days. We reached in the early afternoon, played beach volleyball for the whole afternoon. Damn shag but fun! My intention to go there was to suntan, but there wasn't much sunlight and it's actually a perfect weather lah! Damn! Haha. Oh well, yeekai was also being asked for hp no. by a group of young girls. I guess they are playing "zhong ji mi ma" and it's just one of their forfeits ba. Anyway they are 16 but there's quite a couple of good looking ones! Haha. The beach really have quite a lot of babes in bikinis. Can't really concentrate on the volleyball game at all. Haha. After that went to Yuki-Yaki at Cineleisure. 1st time there, not bad lah. It's just like a mixture of seoul garden and sakae sushi(just that the free flow sushi is those cheap ones).Well, overall a great day!
Well today in contrast with yesterday is a freaking dull day. Everyone wasn't around and i hardly can ask anyone out. I even had to go beach road alone to sew my rank lah! Anyway i chop chop go, sew liao then come back home liao. Only took 2hr 20min for the whole journey. Fast huh? Haha. Now at home liao, also dunno do what. Want go gym also cannot find a gym partner. Think i'll just laze at home and watch tv. Rest early for my bike course tomorrow ba.

It's Sunday! Sunny day!
Oh my, but i am here at home. So bored. There's nothing to do at all! This long weekend seems useless afterall. Suddenly everyone seems to be away this weekend. Shikai went taiwan for training, Yongda went thailand for training too, Pakleng enlisted for NS on friday. Then it's like no people liao. So sian sia.
But i think i die die also won't stay at home today, worst to worst go westmall walk walk also happy. And oh yah, i've yet to get my mass gainers. Gotta put on some weight! Damn i am too light for my height. I think 53kg only. Target to be 58kg!
Off i go..

End of RCC
Finally i've reach the end of the grueling 8 weeks of training. Sad to say, i've come to know that i cannot get my sergeant rank. You must be thinking why i finished my recce commander course and yet cannot get promoted. It's all because that my unit is fucked up. My CO says that in order to be a recce commander, i need to be vehicle trained also, which i am not trained in bike yet. We went back to the main office to argue about this matter but the best result we got is that we can wear the rank, but our pay will remain as the corporal pay. Damn pissed. No choice, we're just NSFs. Lan lan suck thumb then. Will only officially become 3sg after the bike course which starts next wednesday. ZzZ. Well, forget it. Anyway i got my $200 for my IPPT gold award! Not bad lah, at least some consolation.
Time really flies, so fast end of rcc and have served the SAF for ard 8 1/2 months already, which means i've got roughly 16 more months to go before i ORD! Long also not long, short also not short loh. Still got a couple of course to go through and by then, i think will be going to ord liao.
Im already looking ahead of what will become of me in the next 5 years. After the army what will i be going to do? What's my job? Will i be attached? Will i tio toto?(Haha, fat hope) Anyway i think if i am not signing on, then most probably will be going to look for a job back in my previous attachment company. Pay not very high though as compare to how much the SAF pays. If i sign on a combat unit, the starting pay for a specialist is roughly 2.1k, which is damn high for a diploma holder lah! But it's gotta be no life as will be staying in 5 days, only to book out on weekends. Well, if i go back to my attachment company, the starting pay for a lowly analyst is only 1.4k, but if i do get to do shift work, the shift allowance will be $800 more, which adds up to 2.2k. Sounds damn cool, but whether there will still be jobs after i ord? I have no idea.
Anyway take things 1 by 1 loh, though army taught us always to have contigency plans, but i can't think of much contigency plan this time. Haha.

Summex..
Next week's gonna be my last week of course. 7 weeks have just passed like that, fast isn't it? It's always like that, whatever that has finished always seemed to be so fast and easy. Just like my trainings. When i'm doing the trainings, everything seems so tough, but once it's all over, it's actually very simple.
Next week's 3 days from monday-wednesday is my summex, or i should say, Summary Exercise. It's called "Exercise Forward". Think it's gonna be another same recce mission once again. Boring isn't it? Haha.
Driving..
Well, after next week, i gonna start my bike training the following week. Ah, should i go register to learn class 3 now? Is this the best time to learn mar? The bike training month i gonna stay out, meaning it's 8-5 lesson lor. After that can go learn my class 3. But i scared too rush and will be tired after learning bike. Dilemma sia. Anyway i decided that i most prob will be learning school instead of private le. Tomorrow munwai will be going to register his basic at bbdc le, think i am going also, gonna learn $ from my mum to learn driving! Haha.
