back

i have just gone through the last of my ops phase in LOCC so i guess its significant enough for me to blog about it. Taiwan was awesome tbh and i really think it was a good end to all we've been through the past 31 weeks in OCS or more specifically the past 15 weeks in LOCC. To cut the long story short, my taiwan experience can be summarised in a few words mainly topo, forbidden fruits,command post x 100, pee, camou, 16km, tai meis. along the trip i found out that i might be one of the candidates to become an instructor. Kinda neutral about it but i guess we will see.

Got to meet up with quite a few of my friends the few days i have been back. The highlight has to be the events of a few hours ago where we were supposed to 'dress up' for halloween and own the streets. Yeah so i went as a cool dude which is basically myself with a pair of sunglasses. admire the originality. Looking at the pictures i took, the same lame pose was prevalent but its too late to do anything. More significantly however, when we took to the streets we were owned by terrorists, killer butchers with costumes that rocked. I guess there will always be next year.

OETI awaits me on monday and its only 7 more weeks! Even seeing the police OCTs commissioning photos will not dampen this high morale.

Okay i know the last post was the supposed last post but too bad i lied. I feel compelled to talk about an issue that really has no reason to be an issue. Yes i am talking about RIS LOW, disgraced, humuliated, stoned, battered, slaughtered, and many more by the media.

You see here, the problem is that what intially started off as a dream has fast turned into a HUGE nightmare for her in a matter of weeks. And the best part is that it didnt have to be this way. Because who gives a shit if she suffers from mental illness. who gives a shit if she stole. who gives a shit if she was involved in credit fraud. Is she becoming the next first lady, or perhaps the secretary of state? NO! Shes just representing singpore in a competition for bimbos. Just look at the representatives from US and you will know. Honestly i cant really care less. 1) shes not pretty(LOL jk) 2) its not an issue of national security(reading dan brown has over dramatized me) 3)i am in army so i cant watch the competitions anyway.

But ulitmately, what i am trying to drive at is, there is a sincere case of over reporting this seemingly small issue. pull her out, put in the replacement then close shop and start everything anew. whats the point in digging up her past(which if true is pretty messed up but i am not one to judge) Its like using a bayonet to stab the enemy 692 times after you already shot him dead. Kick the woman out and move on. there are so many more important issues in life. like AIDS, world peace, Arsenal and all.

So yeah Ris Low will love me now for protecting her but thats not important. What is important is that we must stop this probing. You know if i were her, i will totally slaughter my friend who made me take part in this. I can already imagine the conversation between her friends.

Friend: Hi miss singapore universe 2009!
Riz:No longer i am. i got kicked out =(
Friend: OMG!!! WHY????!!!
Riz:They dug up my past and cut me real deep with their attacks in the papers =((
Friend:oh no. its ok! you still have us your dear wonderful friends =D
Riz: FRIENDS? FRIENDS? FRIENDS? YOU PIECES OF SHIT MADE ME TAKE PART IN THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE. YOU KNEW I HAD A PAST AND YOU DIDNT TELL ME SINGAPORE PLACES SUCH AN EMPHASIS ON THEIR MISS UNIVERSE? YOU GUYS SCREWED ME UP! YOU KNOW WHAT. YOU GUYS ARE TO BLAME FOR ALL OF THESE!I CANT FIND A JOB ANYMORE. MY LIFE IS RUINED. YOU BETTER BE WARY IN YOUR SLEEP. YOU WILL GET YOUR RETRIBUTION

Next Day:
Disgraced Ris Low charged for murder of best friend

In a shocking case of a feud between friends, the already disgraced Ris Low now faces lifetime imprisonment for the homocide of best friend Lily Chiang.........

And that my friends, is the ugly truth if things go out of hand. With that i say goodbye to all once again. Taiwan awaits me and the road to commissioning continues to shorten

integration exercise last week concluded ops phase in my LOCC course and the end of ops phase has made me inch a step closer towards signing on although i still am not entirely sure. but one thing for sure is that logisitcs is not the place to stay in such a scenario. in just 24 hrs, marvelous meilin awaits me in terrific taiwan as i board the awesome airplane of excellent EVA.

In unrelated news, i caught surrogates on monday after a short visit to NTU which incidentally is MOTHER FREAKING FAR from my home with a couple of the army dudes and it led me to kind of reflect on how far can technology go before it fully engulfs us as depicted in the show. As it is, we are using robots to do our menial task, and just today i read this http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article6012364.ece defects, perceived imperfections are just a few reasons why this idea might become popular in the future. How many of us can truely say they are happy with the way they look, or daring enough to do the most dangerous stunts in their current states. Thankfully,although most of us have conceivable flaws, it is not sufficient for us to think too much into it. At least thats what i feel. Nevertheless is the pursuit for science really essential? Arent we happy with what we have already? With the exceptions of health care and more specifically cancer and AIDS(even then recent research shows positive signs in finding a cure), I personally feel that the amount of technology we have is sufficient. i have my laptop, i have my internet, i have my aircon. But of course i am a simple army boy who is easily satisified and this might not be reflective of society.

Back to the present and i guess this is my last post before ROC. Will be back in 22 days!
