*DING DING DING DING DING*

In the beginning...
I was born in the year 1980, Yeeeeeah monkey!! Very very hyper and playful as a child, told plenty of lies!
I moved from Toa Payoh to Jurong West st 52 when i was around 2 yrs old... so i know NOTHING abt Toa Payoh k?
At Jurong, i had a very happy childhood there... i played catching using the whole block, hide and seek, one leg, basketball...
When i was 6, i was enrolled into Shuqun Primary School
Primary School
I was a total rascal in there, actually, i was a rascal from primary 3 onwards, coz i was exposed to computer games, remember konami's Contra??? Up up down down left rite left rite A B select start, and Rockman 3! I didn't learn to skip school... YET, but i was playing game regularly at those game shops, $1 for 1/2 hr, $2 for 1hr, hahahaha!
So in the end i went home late, got 'tiger stripes' from my parents for not doing homework and going home late!
that was the case all the way thru primary school...
play games, dun do homework, get 'tiger stripes' (terrible caning, for those who never got caned b4)
My hobbies at that time was basketball, catching, and zero point (yes yes, i know, a girls' game)... i could play 5 stones too! hahahah!
My form teacher for P4, 5 and 6 was the school discipline master, Mr Ee, i will always remember his name... though he always punished me with his wooden spoon, i'd still be a complete rebel and not do any work... he'd send me to sit outside the principal's office and see the other kids go for recess... -

Mr Ee, hahah, get this, at P6, taught us a little sex education... i didn't really get it at that time... naturally, considering that it was the friggin 80s! But ultimately he was a teacher who bothered about me... i've been hoping to see him someday to thank him for all he's done... but so far, no such luck...
I still remember the bunsen burner... erm, cartoon shows in the school hall, hahaha!
and those yuhua secondary students looked so big at that time!
30cts for curry and rice was good enuff for me!
but soon, PSLE was over, my grades sucked... and i ended up in Yuan Ching Secondary...
p.s. my parents came down often coz of my bad grades and lousy discplinary record...
the teachers there would check the name list every year to see if i was in their class... pretty infamous eh???
Secondary School
Well, i went to yuan ching... for one year, but while i was there, i joined the NCC, thus began my love for the green uniform... we would get tortured, in the hot sun do push ups... i remembered we got 100 pushups start from -100... so that's 200... while we were doing it halfway, it started to rain... whats more, we were doing it on those lousy gravel roads with the rocks pricking ur palms... they would ask us to switch to knuckle push ups quite often...
what's more sumtimes we would stay back after 12pm to kena tekan... but i kinda liked it, coz of the uniform, hahahaha -
I spent a year in Yuan Ching Secondary, but not without leaving with a bad record. My parents had to come down to see the principal abt my bad grades... and i got into fights often... there was this guy who would make fun of me for no reason, i lost it and pummeled him... he would make more comments and i would pummel him more... but i enver got caught for that.
okay, i moved to Tampines mid year, so i had to travel from east to west daily from july onwards, not good for a sec sch kid, so i went on to, East View Secondary -
East View Secondary
I can proudly say i spent the most fun and worst days in that school...
I reported there 1994, Sec 2... i joined a class, it was 201... hehe i can remember! There was no NCC there, well actually there was but it was for girls only... sianz, so i had to pick another ECA, so i went for AVA...
Football in my life...
It was in that school where i was first taken into the football culture, by sec 3, i was playing football ard 2 times daily! I played so often that occasionally me and my friends would suffer from burnout and rest for 2 days... then we'll get back to the schedule
Sec 2 i was playing lotsa computer games... but Sec 3 -5 my schedule went something like this...
Monday morning go to school, afternoon go play football in uniform, play till police comes, run home, shower... watch TV, evening 5pm meet up and play football... go home ard 8pm, watch tv, lie to parents that homework has been done... sleep, repeat till friday.
On Saturday it would be, 5pm football... -
Getting serious with the game...
One of my friends requested to join the school team for training, i tagged along, the coach didn't mind as long as we wanted to improve... pretty soon my schedule changed a little, but i practically joined the school team for every session... on mondays wednesdays and fridays, it would be training, on tuesdays, thursdays, sat and sun, it would be the leisurely football i've been playing...
I started out at a right-back, but soon i tot i'd fare better as a goalie,...
1996, the school coach took charge of marine castle youth team, now sengkang marine. he got our names down, and i was in a team!
We went to stadiums to play against teams like SRC (singapore recreational club), woodlands... and i can't remember the rest, but we finished 2nd in the league coz we lost that one game to woodlands, AAAARG...
The coach left the team for Sembawang Rangers ard late 1997, and practically the whole team disbanded... we still get together to play tournaments...hehehehe, just won one at mountbatten CC last year!
Injuries
I've sustained quite abit of injuries while playing football...
i got a fractured finger (4th finger left hand), if u see closely its abit out of shape, so is my little finger on my left hand... hahaha, all because i caught a ball wrongly, but i DID catch the ball, so there was no goal... but i was in pain after that... nothing compared to...
spraining my ankle... it is the weakest part of me...i've sprained it countless times, but there was once, i did a tackle on this player, crack!, then as i was getting up, the ball rolled to me, i stepped on the ball with my other leg, crack!!
so its 2 ankles gone in a few seconds... my friends had to help me back after that...
and another time, before my ankle could heal, i sprained the same ankle AGAIN!
there was once i landed on my tailbone... i saved a shot, landed on the tailbone, well actually there was a friendly little rock there to add to the impact... i tried standing up but i fell on my knees... i could not stand up at all, again my friends had to help me back, for that injurym i couldn't sit in the same spot for maybe 5 mins, if not my tailbone would hurt...
i lay in bed for 2 days for that injury, didn't see any doctor, and i took ard 2 yrs to heal completely... i dunno if its still okay now but its not giving me problems!
I was diagnosed with scoliosis (backbone out of shape) in sec sch... but i dunno if that injury agrevatted it...
well my ankles are still weak! i went to army, requested physiotherapy... it helped, my ankle doesn't strain when it detects the slightest crack on the floor...
hope it will get stronger! -
Back to school...
yeah, back to school, i did terribly in school, during sec 3, my form teacher was so fed up of me, she put me in a Boggle competition...
I went for it, and won it coz i play that game with my mother quite often, hahaha!
But it was during that competition, i saw a girl sitting nxt to me on my left, i can remember it clearly...
She had a nice ponytail... really sweet, she didn't look like 15... looked older, no CHAO LAO hor, but mature...
at first i didn't take note... but i dunno why but i started to notice her in school after the competition ended for sometime...
Crush?
I knew she was from the express class, 307... sigh... at first i kept it to myself, but i asked my friend if he knew her name... and the first reaction from him was 'Wah!!! you finally notice a girl ah?????' (coz i was always the 100% football guy, no interest in girls one... actually i still am now...)
There was once i was buying a drink, i turned around, she was right behind me, but i turned so fast and i spilled my drink on her!!! OOPS~ i gave her some tissue and kept saying sorry, but she just kept smiling and saying that it's okay... i would think abt her sweet smile often...
pretty soon that group of guys were trying to get me closer to her... but i took the other way round, ask my friend from computer club who was in the same class as her to talk to her... (yes i know i suck at bgr). he agreed coz he couldn't care less abt all this, so he got her number, and he told me she knew my name! Lalalalalala! So happy! we agreed to meet after school, at a little corner, but i was having a friggin fever that day so i had to go off early... -
Going downhill...
That night she called me... ask me how i was...i was so damn sick, i couldn't talk properly... somehow i notice, i stutter whenever i talk to her...
Phonecalls continued, and i've never ever spoken so long on the phone before, trust me man, if u know me, i dun talk alot on the phone... but the longest ever for me, i know its short for most, was talking to her from 7pm - 12mn... until her dad asked her to go to sleep... i would then put the phone down and feel so contented for sometime...
But for some reason, i stopped calling her... i do not know why, so dun ask me why... i did a few dumb things, like i called her place, she wasn't at home... after a while, she called me back and ask if i called, i said i didn't...
Then when she called me 2 days later, she asked me 'hi! forget your friend already? why didn't u call?', i said 'oh sorry, i lost your number'...
pls do not ask me why i said that, i totally regretted it, that is why i try not to talk on the phone with girls and i keep my conversation to the minimum, coz i have this fear i would make the same mistakes again... sigh...
I can't believe i did that even after she gave me her little diary to add my name in... y'know girls have those books where friends would write cute stuff in it to remember their frenship? well she passed it to me and i added my info in it... yet i treated her that way... i totally regretted it...
Discipline
Discipline wise in East View, i didn't get into fights, but i was 100% disobedient, i pontang school, scold teachers, just being a rebel...
my school had a demerit system where we will start with 75 pts, when it reached 65, letter would be sent to parents, 10 more pts down, parents came to school... then any lower, suspension... i got -30 sumthing when i left the school... the thing is that they implemented that the points won't reset every year, so if i stayed there longer i'd probably got -100~! hahahha
my parents came so often, my principal didn't want to see them... there was once i didn't bring a book, i got sent to the principal and she said 'hey, i saw your parents already, so fast and your back here? go back to class'
Once my teacher sent me down again, and the principal wasn't there, so i was put under the Vice-principal's control, she made me do paperwork, then she said i could go for recess, i went home...
they call that in school suspension... but i didn't go to school for a week, so my form teacher called my home and she asked me why i left that day, i told her 'coz i tired', then she asked 'so i can get the principal to prepare ur leaving cert?' i said 'yeah...', she was silent then she asked 'when are u coming back?', i told her 'prelims and Os.' then she said, 'okay... see you then' after which i did what i said... just went for prelims and Os... -
Fresh start
Well i did terribly for my O levels, hahaha sense any pattern there?
I had reeeeeally lousy results, where i could go into ITE or ONE dip course... Maritime Engineering...
my mother told me... is the dip course what u really want???
i went for ITE.
I still keep in contact with my sec sch friends at that time, we meet up for supper ard once every 2 weeks... though not that much now... but to be in contact with them is all thanks to ICQ
Okay so i'm in ITE Tampines 1998 intake... Mechanical Engineering... once again i was a total rascal, disobeying, scolding back the teachers... skipping school (same thing in sec sch)
Basically my entire education was spent rebelling against higher authorities... i joined music club, and grew FAT!
So here i was a fat and grumpy guy... i hated school, and had to stay back for half a year... so i managed to graduate year end 2000
p.s. I learnt how to play guitar during sec 5, and played thru till ITE... classical music hor, not rock rock... but it helped me take my mind of the girl... actually come to think abt it, if i HAD gone out wif her... i wouldn't have learnt how to play the guitar! -
Army!!!!
I slacked my 4 months away... and finally 26th April 2001, i was enlisted!
I went into Jaguar Company, School 1, BMTC. I loved life there, carefree, relaxing... training was fun... i know most will say obese training is easier... well think of it this way, say you're...1.78m tall, and 75kg... now, add more weight till u weigh 96kg, and go jog for me... get my drift? so basically BMT has adjusted its training regime for the fat dudes!
Anyway... before BMT, i started to think what i could do AFTER army... i tot, well i could upgrade myself, but in my heart i just didn't want to suck money off my parents anymore...
So i considered signing on, stable job, stable income, can give $$$ to parents, got time can go upgrade! cool right? so i sent my application and i got rejected... oh well, i can try again in BMT...
So i applied again in BMT... rejected...
I tot, okay still have almost 2 yrs to try... hahha
So after BMT, i was sent for driver training course, after which i got posted to my unit at PLAB... i spent my life as a NSF there, i met lots of good people... they are now my friends, i still contact them but while i was in there, my application was approved and i went for my interview! haha, sooo happy!
i didn't get any rejection letters at all thru the whole process, so i signed on as a regular, but i would have to go to my course the week after my ORD... so i ORD on friday, then monday i was back as a regular... i left my unit with too many happy memories... and i nearly cried on my last day... okay, i did cry...
I missed the guys, and i missed going to work there...
Deaths
Okay... so basically my mindset changed quite abit, coz of this word 'death', not because i fear death but, more like, what will happen? not in a spiritual way, but what will i do here?
okay, there's this guy i know in sec sch... he lost his parents... he's my age, and in NS now... he was a younger sis and bro... and i stop to think, what will happen if it was me??... and my classmate died while riding a motorcycle, i'm not saying i will be accident proof, but i try to ride safely when i'm on a bike... i dun chiong around, speed for no reason, or challenge ppl at red lights... coz instead of a racing bike, i got a little chopper, hahaha!
Well since we're on the topic of deaths... one of my friend's father passed away 2 yrs ago, but the same thoughts came to my mind... what if it was me??? did i have the money to support myself if my parents were to leave me? and if i leave my parents, will have money to leave them?...
Recently due to SARS, my colleague lost his parents... yes parents... both of them... so all these things make me the boring person i am, trying to plan for the future... -
SGForums
I heard about SGforums some time ago, but i had NO idea it was linked to sggirls!
I've been to sggirls once, but looking at pretty girls just doesn't interest me... I'm prepared to be a bachelor since the last time i did terribly with the girl in sch...
so i was bored at home, and what the hey, just register a nick...
i went in, and added a few posts... i noticed that whenever i posted something, the thread would die, so i tot i was some suay curse or sumthing...
Anyway, i chanced upon this outing to Newsroom... haha, and i tot i'd join in, i did, met alot of ppl, and they are sure a bunch of fun loving people! I won't mention names, coz i'm too lazy to type... wahahahaha lame excuse rite? anyway u guys know who u are... i've expanded my circle of contacts and my hp namelist looks longer now! -
Wellllll i guess thats it to boring me... for now... more might come in future.
-
u missed mentioning *ahem*.
-
I tell you.....the crush was so wasted....Originally posted by kopiosatu:Wellllll i guess thats it to boring me... for now... more might come in future.
Sigh. I can say it's damn damn wasted!
Sad for you lah -
Hahahaha gotta add some thoughts
Closing words... 4 now
i learnt quite abit through the years...i've toned down alot... u can ask the guys in here if u dun believe me... I'm taking my career in the SAF seriously... and my bgr handling still sucks...
i will strive to get best trainee in AETI (Air Engineering Training Institute) / AFS (Air Force School)
. But i will still practise the fact that i will remain a bachelor... and i will avoid phonecalls / talking much to girls i might have interest in... i've hurt too much from my first experience that i refuse to put my foot in the water anymore...
Till another one like the girl in sec sch comes along... i'll be doing my best in my work... to make up for my mistakes in school! -
hehe, well it has affected me for years...Originally posted by Haven:I tell you.....the crush was so wasted....
Sigh. I can say it's damn damn wasted! Sad for you lah
