The Chauvinist Serves His Nation ; 2:15 AM

Hello world! Sorry for the long absence i was abit too tired and too lazy to blog as of late..

Of cos as you guys should already know.. I enlisted into the Singapore Armed Forces on the 16th march.. Damn lucky shit i din even nid to step into Tekong nor cut my hair ; just directed reported to Central Manpower Base.. where after a long talk on insurance policies (they psycho you to buy one ) , i got my full kit consisting of uniform, badge, sport shoes, leather shoes and blah blah blah.. essentially an army survival kit (just without the dangerous yet fun-to-play-with tools) specially for unfit (?!?!) people like me..

Army has been really fun.. made alot of frens there and theres plenty of laughter all around.. especially in the Chinese Instrumental Ensemble, which i am in. Strangely enought I am ok with waking up at 615 every morning, which is somewhat surprising since i could barely stay awake during my RJC days when i woke up at around the same time..

Life in MDC can be rather repetitive but we "fun" guys from the CIE make sure that we have fun all the time... the day starts with us changing into our number 3 uniform.. then going to have a group breakfast and lots and lots of talk cock ensues.. we seldom practice the pieces as a group ( COS WE ARE QUITE PRO and the pieces are damn simple ) so usually we talk cock sing song play mahjong until lunch time..

The period after lunchtime can be the most productive or most unproductive time of the day.. on days when i am super tired i would just take 4 chairs,line them up in a line and lie down to take a nap.. and on days when i think i don feel like sleeping , i would just take out my erhu to practice..

Hmm speaking about self practices.. i now practice about 2 hours a day.. up from a measly one hour a week last year when i was "busy" studying for A lvls.. and i can feel myself improving by quite alot! haha hopefully zls will praise me for being able to play Liu Lang well considering he hasnt taught me yet.. practice until seriously abit sian diao already lor..

OH ya i missed out the performances part.. about 1/3 of the days spent in Army are performance days.. meaning we travel a fair bit.. be it school shows where we showcase chinese music to schools.. or just plain boring background music for some lame shit event.. but still very fun la.. cos confirm alot of talk cock-ing and those type of crazy stuff...

Thats my army life in short!
Stay tuned (i hope for not too long) for more interesting army stories and summaries of my life!
