Aidie blogged @ 4:40 AM Ok, its after Tekong now. I've been posted to be an NSPI in the police force. Yaa..I was forced (hehe get it..force, forced? Nvm..) to be in the police force now. Its been great here. I've enjoyed my NS life ever since as it is quite slack and I get to exercise my brain in studying Law and practice Design. But, enough about that. The reason I suddenly have the urge to blog right now is not because of that. I want to blog about something I came across today. I can't seem to sleep. I'm hoping that by blogging, it helps. Just hope no one reads this though..especially my gal. Haiz..here we go. Lets begin with this. My gal went off suddenly to Melacca with her parents on my longest weekend from NS. She will only be back on the last two days of my weekend. How long is the weekend? Well, its Chinese New Year eve (half day) plus the two days of Chinese New Year, add Saturday and Sunday plus Monday and on Tuesday night I'm back to camp(off in lieu from New Year and Christmas). That is 6 days. I was planning you know to go out with her since its a long weekend, however we never met on CNY eve, on CNY she had to leave for Melacca and be back on Saturday. (The fact that it was sudden piss my off abit.) By then, she'll be tired and on Sunday I guess its family day. At most we go out on Monday, cz Tuesday is book in day. What am I to do? Well, on the CNY eve, I spent time with my family watching TV together. On CNY, we were off to West Coast for a family picnic so it covers the whole day. Today (Friday), I spent the whole day at home looking at screens. The TV, iPhone and my MacBook entertained me. There were great shows though. However, I felt the urge to go out with someone. Since my gal is not around, my family had no plans, and both my sisters went out. I resort to friends. I clearly have no best friend in a way when you need em and straight away they'll be free. I do not like to go out with guys as it feels weird, unless they are Rusydi and Yuni. Other then that, I do not think I have any close guy friends. Truthfully, at that moment, I was thinking of going out with a gal. Who? Well, I have not seen Shabrina in a long time, Amelia Natasha was a random pick as I think she'll be cool to hang out with and Carolyn. However, all seem unlikely to go out with me. I mean, who am I (an attached man) to go out on a random date with these gals just cz I feel like it. And Shabrina have been missing, I havnt talked to Natasha since year 2 Poly and Carolyn is like celebrating CNY. Wake up and smell the air Junaidi! The best time that I could have at the spur of a lonely moment is with my gal. Haiz..what am I to do without her? I guess, I'll be spending alone time again tomorrow. I gotta run some errands tomorrow, so I'll be out and about. OR, I could just go out with some random girl, have some fun and not tell my gal about it. She would not know about it anyways. Hmm.... How bout it huh?? Damn it this blocked nose! I cant breathe properly, and I want to go to sleep. Freaking frustrated! Why can't I fall ill during camp? Instead, I'm having one during this 'holiday'. I want my health back, I want my gal back and filled with some money and I want more time with her. Why lately my gal do not want to go out? Believe it or not, its because she had spent too much this month and run out of cash. So, I guess I won't be spending time with her at all this weekend. Cz she have no money. What an excuse. Oh well..if she thinks without money we can't have a gd time den so be it. Hope that tomorrow I would bump on to someone and that someone shows me a great time. Well, lets just hope yea.. Signing out, Aidie Aidie blogged @ 8:58 AM I am back after a 15 days of confinement in Tekong. The first person that I went to see is my gal. She saw me in the uniform, different skin tone and my head, bald. Went home straight away and changed clothes, saw my dad at home, den went out to meet my gal again, give her my hugs and kisses. She is going off to Malacca with her family that day, so I can just see her for a couple of hours. Before going to sleep, I checked my email, facebook and others to update myself. OK, what happened in Tekong? To summaries everything, its very hot there, without fail, everyday you would exercise(I went 15 days straight of exercise, can you?), it was tiring but improvements can be seen and almost everywhere we go, we have to march. I still do not like the idea of NS, but its teaches me to be healthy. To me, no matter how much I like something or not, I'll do my best. All you have to do there is focus on your physical training. The rest is pretty much taken care of; things like hydration, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Well that is pretty much it, I do not want to talk much about days in Tekong. Because 1,Im in SG now and 2, Im not suppose to blog about it, and if anything leaks out here, Im dead. K, cya when I see ya. Aidie blogged @ 3:54 PM OK, enough with the Sissy stuff about me going to Milan and Tokyo. This time, Aidieation is going to take you into a whole new level. This time, I am going to talk about going to NS(National Service). I had just left Poly life and is assured a place in National University of Singapore, Industrial Design. Everything seems great, especially with a feature of me in the malay newspaper (Berita Harian) about my achievements. That had placed a golden halo above my head to my future family and mine. However, everything turns sour when I received my NS letter. I failed my NAPFA test, so I had to be enlisted to PTP(Physical Training Phase) for 8 weeks and BMT(Basic Military Training) for 9 weeks. I just failed on my pull-up, as I did not train on my upper body. My take on NS: 1) It is full of crap 2) I find no point in being scolded for nothing 3) Im a lover not a fighter 4) No point in marching for miles, especially when in War, nobody marches. (they probably get killed if they do so). 5) I despise Army 6) I prefer Police 7) I do not want to see ghost ever in my life (Tekong is full of IT) Call me whatever you want. A scaredy cat, whimp, loser, sissy..I just don't give a shit. The bottom line is, NS is a path that I do not like to go through. (guys find it a waste of time, girls suffer the years without their man.) People keep telling me to enjoy the experience. Well, I think I should as I need to buff up my body. But, I mean ARMY seh... Well, maybe I am fated to go to Army to become a soldier, as my name: Junaidi, means 'my soldier'. Whatever it is, it is plain TORTURE. Torture to the body and torture to the mind. Remember the times when you see the ads on TV about Army? Where the ad shows you being a hero, saving the world, with counter-strike background and in the end it says: Be somebody. Sounds cool huh?! Well, to the mat reps, it is time to be somebody. However, I am already somebody. I am a designer and I know what I'll be doing in the future and I will sacrifice lots to go get to my dream to be a designer..not a soldier. AND, can the ads be more FAKE?? I mean, come ON!! A hero? Saving the world?? Counter-strike?? Counter-strike is counter-strike, not Army. Puh-lease.. If I have the power over the ads, I would show the TRUTH. And the ad might sound more like this: Imagine your lushes locks (after saving for years and years, the intention to get girls) got cut away. Doing punishing push-ups, getting scolded. March to the toilet, march to the dorm, march for hours and even march to your march. Shouting like mad people (I mean you can talk,why shout? To spoil your vocals and ear drums is it?) to do stuff. Experience ghosts. Treated lesser then animals, or even the ground. And in the end, it closes with : Your nightmare, coming true. Wouldn't it be truthful?? Whatever..I am just enjoying my time before going to NS. As there is no way for me to escape NS, might as well face it like a man. I am meeting up more and more with my gal. Get her hugs, kisses as much as I can. I have already splurged $200 just like that on DJ hero and completed it within like 3 days. Went out for BBQ with classmate and swim with nothing but my underwear(yes ladies..im hawt..haha), went sheesha and out with the guys, sleep until afternoon and eat as much fast food as I can. NUS seat set aside for me, Diploma with Merit, CCA points A with Merit and been in the news paper about it. Its been great. I think I am ready. My approach to NS? Well, I am just going to be quiet and observant. Speak and reveal my true-self only when asked. I would not volunteer to be the leader, however I would do my best at being a soldier. Aidie blogged @ 9:34 AM Ok, the next day. Today, somehow Shah and myself woke up late. I just quickly did what I needed to do, grab random clothes and wear them. The bus led us to... the all famous fish market. You know the one you always see in TV the Japanese fish market that sells all kinds of fish. I thought that I was going to visit the place and see it for myself, but Ronnie told us that the place now do not let tourists to come in anymore as they would disturb their fish auctioning. I was really really upset as I really want to see what is happening on the inside. However, we get to visit the places outside it. Oh ya, this is my random look, with random clothing. My hair is messed up. But I wearing MODE shirt inside..hehe. Shades were borrowed from Isa. Look at those fish eggs and salmon. Really really fresh fish stuff. The Japanese are really particular with their fish and they would know if it is really fresh or not..Really! Hehe.. Giant fish! Ok, since there is nothing much here and Shah and myself have not have our breakfast, we decided to check out Japanese McDonald's. I was expecting something awesome from the menu and I did! There is McPork. Cool or what. Oh ya, Mc there, people need to separate the rubbish accordingly before throwing them away. Like plastics with plastics, paper with paper. Cool, considerate people the Japanese. We alighted here. This spot is usually occupied by newlyweds when the leaves are yellow in colour. Why? Photoshoot! A wedding photoshoot would be awesome with the fantastic colours of the trees. There are two exhibitions, the one outside are mainly students work. While the ones inside are some upcoming companies in the industry. Our favorite store. ABC mart. Hidayat bought around 6 pairs of shoes from here. The shop sells original shoes like a BATA shop. I mean who would not buy stuff from here? An idiot. Oh yeah! Our next destination is Akihabara! The heaven of electrical and electronics stuff. Toys are here too. Rare ones especially. Actually, the electronics here are sold at almost same price in SG. However, the variety here is crazy! Well, we only explored a small part of Akihabara. There are more places. Next, we waited for our bus to arrive for our dinner. The bus did not come until some time, so some of us just chat while others... Played classic Street Fighter games outside a store challenging locals and anyone who is up for the challenge. Ok, the bus arrived after an hour or so. We were very hungry. We came to this restaurant that Ronnie introduced to. I can't remember which night, but one of the night Rendra(the one with the long curly hair) played a prank. We dressed him up with white blanket to look like a ghost and knock on our classmate's door. Some even cried after seeing the 'Ghost'. Haha.. I have yet to see that video. Aidie blogged @ 1:12 AM |
