Hey Guys! I'm back! ahahah. I'm back!! NS was damn tough! But sort of fun too. They really discipline you. A little mistake, and you're gone. Punishment. I got punished because I called my Platoon Sergeant, Sergent. I got 30 Diamond pushups! But I was able to do it at one shot. heh heh. make him paiseh. Anyway, we did alot alot of things for the first week. We had our SOC, Weapons Presentation Ceremony, our swimming categorization tests, our 2.4km categorization test and out IPPT categorization test. We also learn standard foot drill. And we had to learn footdrill together with our rifle. We have to learn karate... Aik yah! heh heh... We also had to go for weekly swimming lessons. 24 laps at one shot! Argh! Cramps! but that is my favourite part. cause i love swimming... I can tell you. SOC is fun! haha. but i can't do one thing. and that is climbing the "Low" wall. When i say "low", i mean "low". haha. But i will keep trying. Anyway, BMT is not only about training, we also have lectures... We also have to learn national education... BMT is exactly like school but with strict discipline... The food there is wonderful! Nice! One serving, they will at least give u 2 meat. red and white. sometimes, 3 type of meat. I always never manage to finish my food. And in the camp, anywhere you go, you have to march. And marching is nice... Good thing about my camp is, it's so nearby to civilization! HDB blocks all around. and the main road. haha. as for tekong, the only civilization u can see is the changi airport control tower. :p Anyway, sadly, my BMT is cut short abruptly to one week. Something happened to me after the one week.... But that will be in another entry. Heh heh... So, stick around!

wELL, I am back~~~ This week have been rushing. I was actually all tired out when friday came. Where I actually get to book out earlier than the rest! Yeah! I won't say what I did for the whole week, cause it's very boring to you guys anyway... But I met up with Joseph after I booked out on Friday. He followed me to my medical appointment at TTSH. After which we hangout at Novena Sqaure, Heeren and Citylink Mall, waiting for Darren to join us for dinner. We were acting like goofballs all the way from Novena Square to Citylink Mall. Hee hee. I haven't had so much fun with my buddy since our performance at Kallang Theatre~~~ Then I was too tired out and we sat at Mrs Fields drinking coffee waiting for Darren. I bought a latte. The worse tasting latte to me ever! Yucks!!!! And also a chewy chocolate cookie. Which makes up for that horrid latte. Darren came and we went to NYDC to eat. I haven't been there for ages man! And when I;m there already, I will always eat my favourite pasta. Forgot the name liao. NYDC holds alot of memories for me... but that is another story. Some other time eh...~~~ For dessert I ordered a Triple chocolate ice-cream. And it's is really nice and chocolaty!!!!!!!!!! I almost had an orgasm eating the ice-cream. heh heh heh....~~~ Darren had a tiramisu mudpies! Oh! NYDC is famous for it's mudpies! After stuffing our face for almost 2 hours, we went for the IT Fair at the Suntec Convention Centre. The place is like a playgroud to me! So many electronic gadgets! And alot alot alot of XBOX games!!! Feel like grabbing em all and run! hee hee... I then went home feeling all tired.... Joseph took the longer route to keep me company. Well, actually because I forced him! heh heh~~~

Anyway, the next day, I went swimming with the gang..... But that is another entry. Hehh ehhe

What a boring day! And what a horrible night! I had a hard time falling asleep...!!!~~~ Staying asleep is even worse! I couldn't even move my body or adjust my body from left to right! I was sleeping as stiff as a corpse! Like dead body. And I woke up like a billion times over the night. I was so fed-up, i was watching friends at 4.30am in the morning... After which, i feel asleep and woke up again... And feel asleep again~~~!! Argh!!!

And i can't even cough or sneeze! It is pain like hell.! It felt like as if the stitch is going to burst open. Which i suppose is not... I hope NOT! It is the worse day of my life when u try to hold your cough and your sneeze! So uncomfortable... and trying to find the most comfortable position to sit is a pain in the ass...!!!!!!!! I felt like a pregnant woman who can't move around much. Worse still, i felt like i have just went for circumcision! Argh!!!!! And i can't even laugh! What rubbish!!! I feel like asking the doctor for sleeping pills so that i can sleep through this whole hell! I tell you... Once this is over, i am going to jump around like a monkey! I am going to cough, sneeze and laugh like there is no tmr... Blah!

I had a hell day yesterday and today... Finally, i had the operation to remove my gallstones which has been causing me pain and feeling of bloatedness for quite some time. The operation is suppose to start at 9.30am but it was delayed to 12.30 because of my stupid decision to drink tea early in the morning. The instructions was to abstain myself from eating and drinking 12 hours before the operation. They asked me to fast starting from 12am... Which i did. But by the time i reached the hospital, i was too thristy... So, i drink a little of tea. With milk. And i received a good scolding from the staff at the surgery centre... By that time, i was feeling weird and scared... The thought of having my body cut up was unbearable for me... And the thought that i will be knocked out. Scared that i will not wake up forever... Then, the nurse called me. I went into the pre-surgery room. Where i was stripped naked and only wore paper underwear, the white coat thing where there are only strings at the back and this plastic cap... I was lying on the bed reading magazines and newspapers while my parents left to go shopping at Novena Sqaure. Fancy them leaving me alone. Argh... Then, a female doctor came over, check with me for the final time. Confirming me with my i/c number and my name... Asking if i know what operation i am going for... After which, she and another nurse wheeled me into the preperation room. Another doctor gave me a local anesthesia at my left hand and then inserted the IV. Which was less painful than last time... I asked the doctor why and he said it's because of the local anesthesia... I was glad... So, there i was trying to fall asleep... Which i couldn't. And i start to get scared cause i was thinking that the anesthesia is not working... which means i will be awake during the whole operation.... Then the surgeon came and told me it's my turn... The operation theatre is damn cold!!! Inside are 3 old male nurses... They help me calm down by joking and laughing with me... I calmed down a bit... But still with nervousness. They strapped my legs and my hands... Then one nurse place this gas mask over my mouth and nose... She asked me to breathe the gas... I start to get dizzy... My eyes started to get heavy... I was fighting it but the nurse told me to relax and not fight it. So, evetually i gave up and i feel into a deep sleep. During the whole operation, it was a total blank. There wasn't any dreams or nightmare too. It was total darkness... It's like at that portion of my life, the world never existed. It's like time stopped... Suddenly, i feel a small slap on my face... Then i hear voices... And slowly my eyes started to open... But i was still feeling dizzy and sleepy. I didn't want to open my eyes... But the nurses force me to open my eyes and start to ask for my particulars... I tried to talk but it was difficult... I could barely hear my voice... but i managed to whisper and a little squek came out from my mouth... Then the nurse told me to rest. They then pushed me into my ward. My whole world was spinning... I wanted to ask them to push me slower abit cause the anesthesia is wearing off and i started to feel the pain from the operation... But i couldn't talk at that moment... So, i beared with the pain at the moment... But i passed out again. When i woke up again, i was at my hospital ward. On my bed... There were nurses surrounding me... Asking me to wake up. And my parents were there too... I feel like crying cuase the pain is unbearable... But i endured... My throat felt really dry and the nurses gave me water to drink using straws... My parents asks me to sleep some more as the anesthesia is still inside my body... And i am still dizzy... They went home... And by the time i woke up, it is already 6.30pm and my parents were there... The pain is not so bad this time as the nurse gave me painkillers... I was fully awake at that time. So, i talked with my parents... And they went home at around 8pm...
