sun, fun, and more flying frisbees (:
4.39pm
today i wasn't late.
in fact, i was early.
that's a plus one. (:
second day of ivp,
this time all the way at yck
and nyp there. tmd freaking far.
winter league format.
so in theory, we had some chance to win.
the cup i mean, ridiculous as it sounds.
if we lost, we'd go to the plate.
essentially the loser pool la.
first match against SIM.
didn't really do much.
most of the time i was just like
running like a dog.
back to my old days. (:
just run up and down the field
when you don't know what to do.
and when i do get the disc, i fumble! :D:D
okay this was taken like
during warm-ups but you get the drift.
my only significant contribution.
i made 1/3 of the scores!
haha yay -.-
one assist for him, one score for me.
and that abt sums up my day. maybe his too. :\
haha j3s suck.
can't say much cause really.
lost 11-3. quite a big margin.
its not as bad as the score suggests really.
i guess its not our fault we're a new team.
we're still continuously learning.
can't use that excuse for much longer though. :\
so we went to the loser pool.
played against cjc.
cause they're the only team to lose
more games than us haha (:
after losing to them twice.
both by the second smallests of margins,
i guess we all really wanted to win them this time.
which sorta showed.
i guess all of us did try harder.
but once again, we lost.
by the second smallest of margins.
to add to that i crocked my right ankle
D-ing this this that was really.
alrdy on its way to a turnover.
somehow during the match.
me and this cj guy
both of us went for this floaty disc,
i got it, he tripped, fell, and i tripped over him.
and i heard a snap.
mine or his, i don't know.
we both went down. and stayed down.
not for long though.
he got up, asked me if i was okay.
at that time, i was too preoccupied with myself
didn't care enough to ask whether he's alright too.
and it still bugs me a bit till now.
that's a minus one. ):
elvin from the middle of the field asked me too.
zzz subbed out and i dunno.
tried to move abt a bit.
somehow it didn't feel that bad.
managed to do some light jogging,
then i asked raphael to put me back in.
no idea how i played through the last all-important point.
which we lost.
to say that we were disappointed after the match
would in some way, be an understatement.
esp for the j3s. since i dunno. annoying la.
no third time lucky for us.
but oh well. frisbee being frisbee,
we left everything on the field.
went off, had a long debrief by coach.
really really long debrief.
just like after the match against acs (ib) last year.
i guess he's trying to make us feel better.
cause we really expected to win this game.
just like the acs (ib) one.
once again, i must say.
i'm very very heartened by this whole team.
its like, everybody gives their utmost best.
even ppl like hiippy, who didn't get to play at all.
he still does his part by being at the sides
giving up calls and stuff.
and i'm again, impressed by the j1s.
because of their willingness to push their limits,
because of their tenacity.
i gotta to learn more from them.
i don't know. that cjc match.
we just see everyone trying their hardest,
helping one another, helping the team.
we weren't j1s, j2s, j3s, seniors, or juniors.
we were really, a team.
like sijie said,
we might lose most of the times and stuff,
but its quite an undisputed fact
that we're one of the most
spirited and bonded teams around.
when you see ppl like lincoln, yuzheng, sijie
picked to play for the ivp all stars
against the national youth team.
yet they rejected so we can all go out tgt
as a team to uhhh. waste time.
and just because of things like that,
i'm proud to be in this team.
and there's no other team i'd wanna be in.
(:
and like i said during the debrief,
we're all trying hard.
doing our best, giving our all.
yup we shouldn't really be disheartened.
with this kind of attitude,
its only a matter of time. really.
someday, we'll get there.
after all was said and done,
the other kind of fun started.
us being us, camwhored like crazy
with jon quek's imba $2000 cam.
HAHAH I LOL-ED AT THIS.
ITS SO TYPICALLY RAPHAEL
and the traditional dunking. (:
played on astroturf,
no mud, no rain, no muck.
so we improvised. :D:D
but its okay.
at the end of the day
we still love our coach (:
and i still think this is kinda commie.
but whatever la yay :D
hc ultimate #9
then went to throw a bit
cause we lost both matches,
didn't really feel like we played much.
then err went to wash up.
and waited for raphael's coach treat team (CTT)
hahah and as is tradition.
presenting to you,
2 TUBS OF VERMONSTERS YAY.
WE LOVE MR YEONG! :D:D
40 scoops of b&j is pure bliss hahahha.
but this time.
we had j1s, j2s and j3s.
in no time, both tubs were gone.
even though it melts and mixes
and becomes icky and goey
and sort of 40-flavours-into-1 thingy,
we still eat
and eat
and still love it all the same.
40 scoops disappeared in abt 15 minutes.
amidst the mad rush for ice cream,
we still managed to find our new vermonsters somehow!
:D:D:D
after THE original vermonster,
and his heir,
we have, from the 09/10 batch,
hc ultimate's next top vermonsters!
cynthia and shaun awww (:
and that's a damn failed attempt at a heart hahah daryl
heee all thanks to the one and only
gayyyyyyy raphael. :D
MORE VERMONSTERS!
then went down to PS
had our lunch at -where else- food court la.
probably no where else would sit 20+ ppl.
sat there, lagged there for like 2 hours.
j2s one table, j1s and j3s one table.
and again we brainwashed them like crazy (:
plus we taught them the niu nai game!
:D:D:D
then we got bored and shifted away.
went to the cinema there
so ulu corner and sat down.
but like 10 mins later we got chased away.
illegal gathering they say.
so we whatever and we shifted over
to the istana park there.
played stupid random games.
like err polar bear.
which i thought was kinda sian.
20 ppl polar bear really,
is quite draggy and long.
so i hobbled back to ps to get a drink.
and daryl wsa nice enough to follow me
in case sth happened to my leg again.
came back and sat out the rest of the game.
which was kinda bad
which yx pointed out.
that's another minus one. ):
but oh well they got bored of it too.
so changed game to zhong ji mi ma and truth or truth
but ppl don't tell the truth really.
so it got boring and we changed to shoot shag marry.
and then again ppl don't tell the truth
so we got down to the un-loopholeable double dare.
which was kinda interesting hahha.
no photos were allowed so awwww.
but no la nothing much actually.
i shall be nice enough not to post details.
aye then played till abt 8 plus.
then went back to ps for dinner hahaha.
we lead sad lives.
dined at burger king.
no idea the whole place was quite crowded
but somehow we found space for 10 ppl.
so yay, dinner was good.
relatively la sispec food sucks.
yup then went home.
hobbled home i mean.
excuse RMJ (running marching jumping) here i come!
:D:D:D
eh only if needed la.
i will not chao keng.
but yea overall.
today was a GREAT day.
thoroughly enjoyable.
really. (:
<3>

(:
11.26pm
sispec is wow.
so slack. for now la.
its very different.
we get a lot of freedom over here.
esp since the ppl taking us
are ppl from the platoon itself.
basically, we take ourselves.
so we can slack if we cover up well.
the whole week,
i guess the most tiring thing was
i think IPPT cat test on weds.
either that or playing soccer after RO.
HAHHAHA.
its so slack its funny.
like there was this time.
we had PT at like 4.30pm.
so we did our warm ups
then jogged out to the parade square.
reach there, form our 20 rows.
and then just kneel there a while
wait for thunder and lightning.
lightning came, cat 1.
so no PT we jogged back to our bunks.
wheeee slack.
but that being said.
its also a bit boring la.
a lot of lessons, a lot of tests.
abt M203, SAW, matador, trip flare, claymore.
and the gps thingy and ace and whatever mini-n-seas.
lessons, then tests almost immediately.
kinda stressful.
don't laugh la HAHAHHA.
the whole world knows i'm not like
the number one academic person.
i guess the only sucky thing
is just that i'm on the 5th floor.
AGAIN. just like in quebec.
tiring leh. quite la. hahhaha.
and we're seperated from the rest of our section.
cause there's not enough room in the bunk.
so the last 5 ppl have to move up.
all they way to the 5th level.
where nobody's been to in like 5 years.
its so dirty its black.
area cleaning was quite hellish. hahah.
but that's more or less the sucky part.
i'm not complaining THAT much. (:
ya that's abt it.
if we were like 9-5 it'd be heaven la.
life here really is not that bad. so far.
everyone says bslc is really slack.
how slack, we'll just have to find out.
yup basically this is just like a short note.
like a how-i've-been post.
details of army are as usual,
confidential by law and in my personal journal.
its not my fault (:
sispec is slack plus extra cash.
yup that sums up sispec for now. (:
because cider is the elixir of life
Sunday, March 22, 2009 2:25 PM
yesterday
11.00pm
zzz its that same feeling la.
the damn sian diao feeling.
when you've just ended your block leave.
and you're booking back in tmr.
after 9 weeks of bmt,
now you go through 5 months of sispec.
which is essentially.
more or less the same i guess.
restarting all over again.
ahhh i'm getting depressed zzz.
sian -.-
after my 10 days of freedom,
comes my 21 weeks of army life again.
what's more its at boonlay la wth.
its so far its almost msia.
okay that's dumb i keep saying that.
aye but so so so sian.
today did nothing much.
lots of R&R mainly.
rot and rot.
on the bright side,
i'm more or less done with my uni apps.
minus the cert thingy bleahhh.
i have no idea how the heck
i'm gonna certify my 2 remaining certs.
last min work doesn't always work zzz.
went out in the evening
for a walk around my place.
just plugged in my ipod.
and kept walking. on and on.
like jonny walker.
mainly to savour the feeling of walking freely
without having to report at a certain timing.
own time own target. (:
and i must say.
sunset was beautiful.
or maybe its just cause i'm going in tmr.
the canal beside my house.
and further down the river.
aye so sad. i hate army life.
i can't wait for ORD la.
8th November 2010. woah.
haha thinking abt it gets me excited. (:
They can take tomorrow and the plans we made
They can take the music that we'll never play
All the broken dreams, take everything
Just take it away, but they can never have yesterday
They can take the future that we'll never know
They can take the places that we said we will go,
All the broken dreams take everything
Just take it away, but they can never have yesterday.
here's to the most meaningful 6 days of my life,
the most wonderful (and wasteful) christmas eve,
the best class ever had,
okay i'd feel kinda bad
if i didn't have their picture somewhere.
and again, the great class we would have been,
the guy that made the difference,
the funnest section on earth,
the greatest teammates that ever existed,
the most bonded frisbee team ever,
the best JTS i ever had (lets have one more!)
the random group of friends (:
the best batch to ever graduate from high school band.
the greatest start ever.
here's to each and every one of them.
the army can go and die.
i'll be back on saturday in time for ivp.
and the vermonster treat later on of course. (:
till then,
goodbye. (:

Saturday, March 21, 2009 1:52 PM
sun, fun, and flying frisbees (:
9.52pm
today was a great day! :D
haha started badly though.
somehow my alarm didn't ring.
so i woke up at 7.20am.
and that's when my mum woke me.
else i'd probably have slept till like 11 la.
yup so hopped on to a cab.
and 100% pure bad luck la.
the guy didn't know how to drive.
didn't know where sengkang was.
and neither did i.
so i ended up lost at some
i dunno ulu ulu place.
no buildings, no trees, no cars.
and he still had the cheek
to ask me for $14.
so yea i dropped off,
wanted to look for another cab.
but then there totally barren la.
couldn't find one nearby.
only got a lot of cabs at the horizon.
maybe like once in a while.
far far away from my reach.
then one comfort cab will zoom by.
and then disappear end of story.
after a while,
i actually thought that i was seeing a mirage.
cause really. once i get within 50m,
they disappear from sight.
damn annoying.
yup so i walked walked walked.
until i found this lone bus stop.
YAY only got one bus.
and its to sengkang interchange.
happy. so i took the next bus that came.
it barely moved 50m
before it passed the junction
and i saw the sengkang field.
i was totally like -.- WTFFFFF.
waste money and damn malu la.
anw long story short i was late la.
no warm ups or anything.
just go and play,
and get thrashed.
basically this tournament
was sorta a learning experience.
for the non winter league ppl,
for the new j1s.
first 2 matches got thrashed pretty badly.
even though i think nus
was really abt our standard.
i guess its this mentality that like,
oh they're uni students
they're 5 years older than us,
just give it to them la
we can't really beat them anw.
yup lost 15-5 to nus, 15-4 to smu.
probably bucked up against acjc.
either that or the defending champions
gave us some chance.
game stopped at 14-9 due to rain.
but i got the feeling that everyone played
slightly harder as compared to the first 2 matches.
at least its an improvement.
one year ago against acjc
we got owned upside down 15-1. (:
haha i realise that every team
uses the same tactic as us.
get the guys to work it up the field,
then use the girls to score.
its not our fault our girls are losing.
these ppl are like 5 years older than us la.
they've been playing since god knows when la.
and our j1s just come for the experience la.
they've been playing for what, a month tops.
they can't even do basic throws.
its okay. in time to come,
they'll trample all over the other girls.
aye and i need to improve my throws.
kinda zzz cause i can make the first cut
get the disc, but once there,
its really 50-50.
maybe i make a good follow up throw,
maybe it sucks and i zibei.
today it was mainly badddddd.
hahah had a few assists,
but it was all really lucky.
like this high forehand throw,
and this crappy backhand
when the smu bugger bundled me over
and my throw went really high
missed jingyi the intended target,
but thankfully cynthia caught it.
else raphael would have totally murdered me.
aye but block leave over liao.
back to ns boooooooo ):
haha how to practice my throws -.-
after it was over,
dinner at kopitiam.
jack, being the filial prc, went home for dinner.
dayong and daryl went for the gala dinner.
kw got lazy. so i was left amongst the j3s.
frickin hungry since we had a light lunch.
ate 2 servings for once.
this really doesn't happen every day.
then typically frisbee,
we went to lag at some
ulu corner of the mrt staion.
talk cock waste time play lame games.
mm till abt 8 or 9 i think. can't rmb.
then went home. sleep (:
P.S CHAI LALA SEND ME PHOTOS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
because cider is the elixir of life
Friday, March 20, 2009 10:40 AM
and here we say goodbye.
6.40pm
VERMONSTER DAY! well. sorta.
today was the last training with j1s.
struggled to wake up, as expected.
snoozed my phone 5 times,
woke up an hour late.
reached hwachong like a few mins late.
yay i win (:
today was basically
i dunno just consolidation
and erm making sure they rmb
whatever we've taught them
throughout the week i guess.
did some drills then let them play matches.
at least that's what i think they did.
i don't know shaun fell into a drain
so being the nice ex-welfare manager,
i went with him and the pe tchr
to the coro clinic to see the doctor.
so i missed the latter part of training.
and cause i'm so so so nice
i don't owe him any stupid vitasoy anymore.
its been just a week
ever since we started taking the j1s.
yet i dunno haha i think as j3s,
we've grown to like them a lot really.
maybe its cause like daryl said,
its just heartwarming to see them
all happy and fun-loving ppl,
coming together just for the love of the game.
like cynthia who doesn't mind
coming down 6 days straight for training,
sacrificing her homework and studies;
just like us j3s sacrifice our 10 day block leave
just to come down to train them.
i guess. maybe its cause she got no choice la. :\
and yea like we all say.
it really makes you go AWWWWW
to see how something good
actually came out from our hard work.
(lets just imagine that there's
really a lot of hard work put in
to set up the club)
i guess all our time spent,
despite the initial disappointments
unhappiness and frustrations,
seeing the smiles on thir faces,
their very familiar enthusiasm;
these 6 days spent with them,
it was all worth it afterall. (:
this j1 batch,
are quite a bonded batch (erhem welfare erhem)
like their Seniors (j3s)
like their seniors (j2s)
which bodes well for the team spirit.
the hwachong legacy lives on apparently.
so to sorta reward them,
and as some sort of farewell gift,
we decided to stj them AS PROMISED.
brought them to novena there,
crammed all 24 of us into the B&J.
since afterall, this is where the tradition started.
jts 08: me. soon dabian. daryl. raphael. daniel.
yup but much to our dismay
the outlet there ran out of vermonster tubs.
so we could either:
1. go to another B&J outlet.
2. go get pints of ice-cream instead.
3. both of the above.
4. none of the above.
since this is stj,
we let the juniors decide,
and being lazy bums,
they of course decided on 2.
so we got them 11 pints of ice-cream instead.
cheaper, but it sorta defeats the purpose.
nothing beats 20 ppl scooping ice-cream
outta THAT huge tub of 20 scoops of icecream.
when it comes to vermonsters,
the messier it gets, the better (:
but whatever la
tmr our turn to get vermonster treated
by raphael after ivp competition,
so we're not complaining.
crammed all of us in there,
ate to our hearts content. (:
the j1s. there're too many ppl to label here.
and i don't know all their names anw. *roll eyes*
.jpg)
the j3s! minus kangwee and dayong.
daryl jack me daniel huanzi.
we scream for ice cream!
yup just ate and talked rubbish
and generally sat there and enjoy life.
3 more days before i go back to my sad army life.
sispec somemore no ocs airforce. ))):
but at least farhan said they might call me up
somewhere during my course
cause they haven't process the results yet.
aye but whatever la.
sispec has its benefits too.
no confinements, better culture,
more decent living conditions,
nights out! and err shorter course.
haha and i get to play
next week's ivp fixtures too. (:
ate more later cause yuxin came,
and somehow the B&J girl was her friend or what.
so we got free apple pies and err cakes.
so eat and eat and eat.
like pig like that wheeee :D:D:D
and somehow, this looks really.
disturbingly disturbing. D:
ivp tmr from 9am-4pm.
sengkang field walao damn far can.
haha and we're gonna get whacked.
grouped with smu np/ntu acjc nus.
i really don't know what to say.
just errr hope for the best la.
and pray for no rain. please.
i don't wanna play in a mudbath.
coach asked us to bring nuts and fruits
and lotsa water and drinks.
sounds more like a picnic than
some very intense competition la.
hopefully we can do sth right
before i hang up my boots for a long time.
probably won't have time or energy
to play frisbee since i'll probably be commuting
between paya lebar and pasir laba.
dumb shit la sispec so far. -.-
yup so this more or less marks
the end of our time with the j1s.
daryl goes to his ammo thingy place.
jack goes to find his fellow commando medic,
daniel to the dunno what commando signals,
huanzi to 5SIR to jump in the jungle like monkeys,
kw to his PES E and a desk job,
dayong to his bmt in april,
and me to my sispec in boonlay.
probably won't come back to hwachong for training.
the next time i'll be back would probably be
pvsp for MAF. if they have it again la.
other than that. very unlikely.
the j1s + j3s.
and this is kinda blur,
its not my fault that the B&J girl
can't take photos to save her life.
but there's a <3>above cynthia and shaun.
so must put up :D:D:D
love is in the air!
okay lets get a bit serious.
bye bye hwachong.
i'll miss these 6 days. (:
and bye bye juniors.
you all are.. ...kinda cute la hurr.
and no la not suaning you jasmine HAHAHA.
