Mutiny aboard the ship...... Savy?

Well as you can see from our new title there has been........ a reshuffleling of manpower;p This is because our dear brother bong has left our circle of trust to link up with another circle. The sad thing is that life is not like a Venn Diagram, you cannot simultaneously exist within 2 subsets. Hence to heal the resultant empty space left in the circle of trust, we have decided to annex our brother yang....

In true megazord tradition..... Bong + Yang = Yong!!

And so we have a new addition/replacement to our brotherhood, the Tuck Som Yong gang!!

But anyway, today while KLKKing around town, the 3 of us started discussing about where we should go to next yr during our incredibly short 3 week hols=( I noe it sounds early but you know what they say! When you plan to fail you fail to plan!! Oh wait i think its the other way round.....

But since we Tuck Som Yong are poor students with heavy debts living in HDB flats, we are unable to fly to very far places. Not to mention that we're also constrained by a 3 week timeframe.....

So anyway we've decided to limit ourselves to places that only budget airlines fly to.... which are as following as of now....

Taiwan - Taipei
Australia - Darwin
Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi
Cambodia - Phnom Penh, Siem Reap
Thailand - Bangkok, Phuket, Changmai
Hong Kong - Hong Kong
India - Bangalore
Indonesia - Jarkata
Myanmar - Yangon
China - Guangzhou, Shenzhen

Well anyway we're looking for travel khakis. However to avoid future problems and also cos we're elitist asses, we have strict selection criteria as to who can travel with TSY....

1)1st and formost all travellers must be able to commit 100% for the trip. No such thing as last minute pullout. Its either you go or we chop of your bloody pinkie and bring it along instead....

2)All travellers must take part actively in the planning and execution of the trip. Everyone must be in charge of planning something / taking charge of something. This is non negotiable! Is that clear!!

3)All travellers must be able to live and eat cheaply, not so much because of budget concerns, but because we're masochists who enjoy SM.....

4)All travellers must be able to tahan the cock/crap of TSY, even better if you can talk cock also haha......

5)This wasn't mentioned, but after this yrs trip to perth, i'm sick of sausage fests, so it helps if you're a char boh haha.......

So if you're interested in eating, drinking, philosophical musings and merrymaking with tucksomyong, pls send the following details to tucksombong@gmail.com...

1)Your Rank(If applicable), Name and IC no
2)A picture of yourself
3)A 1500 word essay of why you wanna travel wif us
4)What your favourite car is(accompanied by a 500 word essay on why u like the car)
5)Male / Female or HARD GAY HOO!!!
6)Your favourite colour
7)The reason why a greenhouse is not really green
8)What Leonard's favourite food really is....

We hope to see you at the airport come april 2007!! =)

Beati Doggu

Well i was jogging yesterday at East Coast Park(ECP) when i noticed that there seemed to be a hell of of women who were wearing heavy make up. As in really heavy. If any of you were from RJ im talking Mrs Lim the physics tutor kind of heavy make up(who is btw the wife of Stephen Lim, who used to teach physics at RI but is now at ACSI i think....)

But seriously anyone wearing that kind of make up in Singapore's weather is.... ....well waiting for a bloody catastrophe to happen. After like an hour of sweating her face will probaby look like someone had stuck it in the microwave and put it on high for 10 mins.... wth......

And these women with heavy make up aren't like going for a BBQ.... if they were going for a BBQ it would be understandable cos perhaps these people went to town in the afternoon and just happened to pop by in the evening for a gathering...

BUT NO.... these people were doing sports, like cycling or blading and EVEN CABLESKING. Yes these people went to the beach with the intention of sweating and they still wore ridiculous amounts of make up.....

You know, there's a bloody THICK LINE between vanity and stupidity......

On a less angsty note(haha dammit som is a bad influence;p), i've realised today that dogs are like gods of ultimate frisbee. I mean i always knew they were good, but gosh! i didn't expect them to be that good...

Lol you wanna know why dogs are so darn good at frisbee? Well it's cos they have four wheel drive(or 4 leg drive should i say).... which means that they can drift.... that's right....
To be honest when i 1st heard about 4 leg drive on BBC's Top Gear, i tot that it was absolute rubbish. But when you see it 1st hand..... hoo.....


Because the dog can drift, it can then fling itself towards the frisbee at high speeds, and when the frisbee is near biting level the dog can then countersteer, drift until it's facing the correct direction and then SNAP!.... the frisbees in the dogs mouth...

Well the thing about humans, no matter how fast or nimble you are, you cant steer and propulse in different directions at the same time..... unless you run on all 4s haha....

It's also a good thing that cats are generally more lazy then dogs, cos if cats could bother to play frisbee they would be the new top dogs(pun totally intended) of ultimate frisbee. Cos dogs, while powerful and fast, suffer from massive understeer due to their higher weight. So while a dog is like a hulking Lamborghini, a cat is like a nimble Toyota AE86, slower but with better handling....

So if you could only train a dog to be able to throw a frisbee after it's caught it, you would pretty much have the ultimate ultimate frisbee player..... haha..... but i would be kinda worried about the dog's neck if it needs to fling the bloody frisbee so hard all the time.....

Shit man i can't believe i'm typing out all this crap..... haha ok that's enuff for one night man haha....

Thoughts

Its biomed quiz today and yes, I went down, I can't believe that I was there the whole time checking out how the njc participants were doing. Well, I entered the LT during the PBL round of the quiz and sat at the back of LT28, dammit, I felt freakin old in the LT apart from the profs and one or two of the M5s who are actually just one yr older than me. Everybody in the bloody LT was at least two yrs younger than me. TMD...

During the darn quiz, when njc was doing badly, I didn't felt anything haha...shit, I guess I must have out-lived my JC life, plus, I'm not that close to my JC. Haha Looking at yang and ronnie jumping up and down due to the wrong answers given by thier hc participants make me feel so guilty, but who cares? haha... OK, fuck, I'm talking cock again... I really have no idea what I'm typing here...DON'T READ THIS SHIT PLEASE!

Anyways,

Some say, 'Every man for himself'


All we know that No man is an island.

Crime and Passion

Well if you recognise the title, then i'm pretty sure you were a child of the 80s, who grew up in the era of SBC haha.....

Was channel surfing when i stumbled upon the program Crimewatch. I remember my mom used to force me to watch it when i was young. I guess that helped to foster a fear of authority in me. Oh that and also repeated reprimanding from my mom that if i was naughty she would "Ask the policeman come and catch me". No wonder i always wanted to play the policeman in police and thief haha...... well i guess i can still play a policeman in the future.... just in a different setting ehehe....

Of cos now that i think about it, it's really useful to have a friend who's a police officer. Even better if he can vist your family in his uniform. Thank goodness ive got a good friend who's a police scholar. So next time if i ever have kids i can tell them "You naughty some more i ask Uncle Wilson come and catch you!! Then when you go to jail convicts will come and ass rape you!!"

Ok maybe i'll scrap the last sentence.....

Well but anyway now on crimewatch they have this new segment where they show how they use CSI like technology to catch criminals. Like for example they showed how they used DNA testing to catch 3 dudes who were robbing schools. I guess what this does is that it scares the shit out of all the dumb criminals who are planning any felony of sort cos they realise that the long arm of the law really is that long....

On the other hand now the smarter crooks know what to look out for and how to avoid getting caught..... seems like everything is a double edged sword nowadays.....tmd haha......

Be a Man! Do the right thing!

You know, i think it's great to have a guy councilee. I seriously can't fanthom why some guys wanna jio chiobus to be their councilees. I mean what are the chances of you successfully chee-honging her into being your GF/FB/SS?? I mean if you like try to jio your councilee and things sorta fall thru, well you're kinda screwed after that, cos things are just gonna be kinda weird....

But if you can get a guy councilee that you can talk cock wif, then well you're pretty much golden liao.....

I went to the gym with my councilee today, well cos i needed to pass him books/notes and we had to meet somewhere anyway. But eventually we ended up talking cock more about bangkok and patpong and where to find good tiger shows haha....(b4 you start getting any weird ideas its only cos my councilee posted as a medic in thailand for a yr)

Well i'm not being age-ist or anything, but when you talk about army with disruptees, the topic always seems to sway towards trainee life. To be honest i love bitching about how screwed up charlie coy used to be too(as leo can attest) but somehow talking about SOC and IPPT and field camp can get kinda old after a while....

If you thought trainee life was bad, things only get worse when you become a permstaff...... cos that's when the POLITICS start.... man when i 1st started as a newbie medic in tekong..... the politics was like..... horrendous...

Cos the thing about my old boss is that.... well he's kinda of an ass. He's always trying to get medics to pau-toh(rat out) on each other, and if you can get into his good books, the rest of your life in tekong is then pretty much a smooth sailing one... so the entire place was like some sort of backstabbing fest....

Thankfully, by the ti,e my batch of medics became the lao-jiao(old bird) batch, the politics game had pretty much died out by then. I guess we were just so sick of playing right into our senior medics hands......

The thing about army is that for people, it wasn't a choice. We're all there to just serve finish our 2.5 yrs and then **** off safely. Nobody want's to be charged like a battery or have to go to DB(detention barracks). So if we all just look out for each other's backs we can all ORD and reach home safely.

Unfortunately, not everyone feels that way. Cos in your NS life, you will always almost be bound to meet at least some ************* ************ who always skives off, chao kengs, doesn't do his work, and pretty much makes the lives of his collegues a living hell.

You see, in the SAF, when something goes wrong, there will always need to be a scapegoat. That is the blame culture of the military. It get's even worse when sometimes, other people screw up and you have to bear the brunt of it, and believe me, having to take the shit for other people's mistakes happends a lot in the military......

Well now that i'm back to being a student, im quite glad to see that the youngsters aren't really into the politics game....yet.... of cos when clinics start things could be very different haha.....

Another thing you learn when you start working as a permstaff is that people aren't always as they appear to be. As trainees, people always tend to look out for one another cos when one person screws up the whole section/platoon gets it. However once you start working with different people of different ranks/appointments, things get more..... sticky..... cos you usually only need one person to sign the holy book that burns away your weekends.... muahahaha.....

When i became dispensary 2/IC in tekong, i was kinda shocked when i realised that the lau-jiao medics which i had been disliking all along were actually the ones who recommended me for my HQ position, and the lau-jiao medics whom i thought we're pretty harmless had actually been recommending my boss to give me extras... tmd....

To be honest i wish civillian life could be simpler, but too bad it always turns out the other way haha....

Identity

Another day in school, another day out of home, another day slacking, another day talking. Another day sleeping.

Many have asked, 'Who is Tuck? Who is Som? Who is Bong?'. Why keep it a secret? Whats the fuss bout it? I say its obvious, I say it has always been there, its just whether you are discerning enough to catch it.

Some say they ain't what they claim to be and that thier identity changes according to the way corpse breathes. (WTF??)

All we know, they are known as TUCKSOMBONG

The Chio, the Cute and the Chou

Well if you're reading the title that's our new moniker man..... yup i noe we're SBWs. Now what's SBW? It means slut-bitch-whore haha.... by the way in case you didn't noe the diff b/w a slut and a bitch here it is.

A slut sleeps with everyone
A bitch sleeps with everyone but you.

Ok i noe it sounds damn cock but i just sorta came up with it while chatting with my good friend leo. This is cos leo always says that he is the chio-est, so being the shameless slut that i am, i have to claim to be the cutest.... kawaii-neh!!=p And as for xy.... well he's just damn chou... but somehow he's also the only attached one among the 3 of us haha.....

Well i was chatting with an old army friend today whom i haven't talked to in a long time, and he asked me why i'm still unattached, so i told him that most of the girls in med were attached liao, and his reply was "aiyah steal lorh!!"

People always like to say, "All's fair in love and war". Incidentally people also like to say "Make Love not War!" which i totally agree in. Why would any guy want to hold a gun when a women could be playing with his??^_^

As Full Metal Jacket aptly puts it "This is my rifle, this is my gun. This is for fighting this is for fun!"

As a medic it's very sad when people say that "All's fair in love and war". Because under the Geneva Convention, (Combat)Medics are supposedly protected by law and "according to the Geneva Convention, knowingly firing at a medic wearing clear insignia is a war crime."

Well the sad truth is that in an actual war, the medic is one of the 1st 3 people to die. So who are the other 2?

1)The Officer/Occifer --- elimination leads to breakdown in command, esp if the PS is CMI(good luck to leo and xy)
2)The Medic --- loss of the ONLY medical personnal in the platoon will lead to massive demoralisation(good luck to me)
3)The signaller/PC runner --- loss leads to communication breakdown(good luck to anyone with an antenna haha)

So as you can see the 3 of us are damn sway,but well i digress from my main topic, which is the "love" part haha. Well no matter how you put it, jio-ing a girl who is already attached is.... still unethical, regardless of what the dude is like. I mean some people claim to be liberating girls from lousy BFs but.......

Well if the relationship was already on the rocks, it would prob fall apart even without any intervention.....so.....

And it's even worse if you like noe the BF... cos well then it's just plain weird... can u imagine jioing you're best mate's char boh??

Its so wrong that......in fact its Badong....
BTW: Badong = Bad + Wrong = Badwrong..... Badong....

And well if you steal someon'es GF, wouldn't there be this nagging feeling at the back of your mind that if she was willing to leave someone for you, then leaving you for someone else wouldn't be an issue?

Just a thought haha.....

Activities

Its great to be on form again! Being able to talk like loads of rubbish feels great, its just like a release of shit from the body haha, you feel cleansed after that. Well, John Wank is really a wanker if you know what I mean. (Ok, totally unrealated stuff).

Was in school for some float building with my OG, well, firstly, what made me cranky was that I was in school way way before the time we were suppose to meet, talking cock with Aileen, Bo, Wy and not to mention my boss Ronnie (dean's lister lehz)! *Salute*

But guess what? Being slack OGLs, you'll have slack OGs...so we brought them for breakfast and about an hour later lunch haha...

I think it was after lunch and we were talking cock in the science canteen, somebody asked me bout the activties that I do. Frankly, I did have the answers but I felt like somebody just put a hand into my head and took the the answer out.

I said that being a stupid student, I had to study more unless my friends who could do the same with less studying (thats totally true) and I do nothing but just slack around. Frankly, there are many things that I want to do but prevented myself from doing because my family's financial background ain't that great, explains why I feel awkward answering questions like this. You'll most prob get a sheepish ans from me. Ma de...

Right...I'm talking crap again... enjoy yourself with Hard gay..

Training to be soldiers

Well i found this pretty cool site ... it's a photography site by a former Israeli servicewomen. I used to think that conscription in Israel was compulsory for only guys, but apparently girls have to serve NS too....

Rachel Papo: Serial No. 3817131

It's worth a look, even if you're not a photography person... some of the pictures are pretty interesting, like how they have all female units, and that they actually bring their M16s(i wonder if female soldiers refer to their rifles as their husbands....) to the toilet with them when they shower.... now that's combat readiness......

What was meant to be

Well thx to Liyana's censorship the article about grey's anat that appears in the orientation booklet isn't the original one. That's right, the bit about grey's anat that you see in there is a sanitised version penned by bong for fear that the original article would result in a lot of disgruntled m1s and massive riots....

Dude... it's meant to be a humor article? Who's gonna take it seriously?......

Well the great thing about the internet is that it isn't subject to the same laws of print, so here's the original article.....

I’m not gonna write anything about this show cos I think its absolute rubbish. Seriously this show is as much about surgery as sex is about procreation.

And geez whats with all that angst and backstabbing? I’ve seen hormone charged teenagers who were less angsty.I mean come on, these people are supposed to be doctors not contestants on Survivor!!

And what’s with all the girls being obsessed with Dr Derek Shepherd?? Ok fine so he’s good looking but come on, I think even Dr Wilson from House is better looking then him. I’m surprised that ABC hasn’t capitalized on this phenomenon by recasting him as the main character and renaming the show “The ridiculously good looking Dr Shepherd surrounded by random people in scrubs Show”.....

Damn those Telomeres.......

Lol today i managed to fight my shackness and dragged myself back to RI for the 02 scout campfire. Seriously, you really feel damn old when you actually drive yourself back to school...... and when you're there you realise that the school looks like damn diff..... and all your juniors have ORDed.... and you have a tendency to ramble on like an old man about all kinds of things.....*cough*cough*......
Seriously when i drove back into the school i really couldnt recognise it at all, especially since RI seems to have magically melded itself together with RJ next to it. Now i noe why RI's ranking is like dropping..... it's cos all the horny RI boys are like busy beoh-ing the RJ char bohs in their short green skirts instead of mugging.... tmd.......
Well this is the senior block where i spent my sec3 yr, until they introduced the ridiculous and cock homeroom system, after which we moved to the new block. The yr after i graduated from RI, they scrappped the lame system...... tmd....

And can you believe it, they air conditioned all the bloody classrooms in RI. Like ALL of them. Basket what a waste of money. I guess it's nice for the teachers, but now all the kids are gonna turn into pampered wussies..... wdh....Yep this is what used to be of the canteen and the Albert Hong Hall..... its like just some pile of rubble now.... i still have no idea what's taking its place.... but how can a school have no bloody hall? How to have assembly?? Got astroturf lah, but raining how?
Yup that's the "campfire"...... without a fire.... and yeah it's supposed called a review if there's no fire i think.... gone were the days where we used to build 3 storey high gateways.... oh and RGS guides actually won best item this year.... i remember it always used to be like either Cedar or CHIJ last time.... i guess it means that either RI boys have finally seen the light/gone to the dark side..... depending on whether you think rafflesians should inbreed haha.... 

Medicamp is OVER!

Wow, its been a blast for the past 4 days in NUS and Aloha Loyang. Hell, I had lots of fun(not). Didn't really interact with my OG much for the past 4 days because I've been conducting or being a station master for some of the activities. First day was fright night, second day was So you think you can cook and third, wet games! But, ah, maybe the fun of the M & N1 are more important that what the OGLs felt haha. Sacrifice!

Speaking of SYTYCC, I think the OGs did an amazing job! gotta get some pics from those buggers who took pics and show it to all of you. Brenda's grp won the cooking competition! congrats to them!

But, there is one thing I'm proud of is that my OG is still alive, yes, godzilla is alive, I can't believe that almost every member (minus one) is at medicamp! Its been a yr since we met and we are still together, I hope we will stay close still at least while we are still studying!

Right...thats it man..didn't take pics at all cuz I don't have a bloody cam... I need one..and I'm going to ask for pics and vids haha.. Right..enjoy

The Diving-Bell & the Butterfly

At the risk of plagiarism (I confess not to knowing the exact guidelines protecting a writer's work), I'd like to share this excerpt from the book entitled above. It was written by the former editor-in-chief of Elle magazine, Jean-Dominique Bauby, when he was literally imprisoned in his body following a massive cerebro-vascular accident. This left him 'paralysed, speechless and only able to move one muscle: his left eyelid'. He wrote this book blinking out each alphabet, and I think that act alone, plus the contents within, bears strong testament to how the human spirit can endure through even the greatest trails. This is for all those who think they have it hard. Enjoy...

From the chapter 'The Photo'...

"The last time I saw my father I shaved him. It was the week of my stroke. He was unwell, so I had spent the night at his small apartment near the Tuileries Gardens in Paris. In the morning, after bringing him a cup of milky tea, I decided to rid him of his few days' growth of beard. The scene has remained engraved in my memory. Hunched in the red-upholstered armchair where he sifts through the day's newspapers, my dad bravely endures the rasp of the razor attacking his loose skin. I wrap a big towel around his shriveled neck, daub thick lather over his face, and do my best not to irritate his skin, dotted here and there with small dilated capillaries. From age and fatigue, his eyes have sunk deep into their sockets and his nose looks too prominent for his emaciated features. But, still flaunting the plume of hair - now snow-white - that has always crowned his tall frame, he has lost none of his splendour. All around us, a lifetime's clutter has accumulated; his room calls to mind on of those old persons' attics whose secrets only they can know - a confusion of ancient magazines, records no longer played, miscellaneous objects. Photos from all the ages of man have been stuck into the frame of a large mirror. There is Dad, wearing a sailor suit and playing with a hoop before the Great War; my eight-year-old daughter in riding gear; and a black-and-white photo of myself on a miniature golf course. I was eleven, my ears protruded, and I looked like a somewhat simple-minded school-boy. Mortifying to realize that at that age I was already a confirmed dunce.

I complete my barber's duties by splashing my father with his favourite aftershave lotion. Then we say goodbye; this time, for once, he neglects to mention the letter in his writing-desk where his last wishes are set out. We have not seen each other since. I cannot quit my seaside confinement. And he can no longer descend the magnificent staircase of his apartment building on his ninety-two-year-old legs. We are both locked-in cases, each in his own way: myself in my carcass, my father in his fourth-floor apartment. Now I am the one they shave every morning, and I often think of him while a nurse's aide laboriously scrapes my cheeks with a week-old blade. I hope that I was a more attentive Figaro.

Every now and then he calls, and I listen to his affectionate voice, which quivers a little in the receiver they hold to my ear. It cannot be easy for him to speak to a son who, he well knows, will never reply. He also sent me the photo of me at the miniature golf course. At first I did not understand why. It would have remained a mystery if someone had not thought to look at the back of the print. Suddenly, in my own personal movie theatre, the forgotten footage of a spring weekend began to unroll, when my parents and I had gone to take the air in a windy and not very sparkling seaside town. In his strong, angular handwriting, Dad had simply noted: Berck-sur-Mer, April 1963."

If you've read this long, Berck-sur-Mer is the island on the French Channel coast where Jean-Dominique was hospitalized. I'd like to leave this chapter for each person to interpret in his/her own way, relate it to your current life if you would.

"...no one said life was a straight road, but that doesn't mean it can't be beautiful..."

Orientacion Medness! (whatever that means)

Hey! Its just a couple of more hours to Medicamp and am I feeling excited? Hardly! Vhy? You might ask, well, its just because we did too much planning and we know how the thing will be runned! Yes, I'm posting this shit cause we won't be posting much stuff till the end of the camp! Woo!

Right, after requests from Liyana, we manage to come up with some crap article that is to be published in the orientation booklet. A big welcome to all the M1s and if you are reading this article right now, you should know one thing: Never come back to this page again because its hazardous, perverted, highly random, never updated(ok, I'm updating now), a waste of time, and a lot more reasons that you should never read this blog again.

Below is whats written in the booklet and read it at your own risk:

A little bit of history….

It was many years back when these things happened:

On a fateful Friday afternoon in the summer of 1994, Tuck was playing basketball at a court near his house. Just as he was about to throw the ball, a bolt of lightning struck him for a split second. What happened was strange, he stood on the same spot unaffected and in the years to come, he claimed to posses the power of the lightning, running faster than the speed of light(without an increase in mass, some say a slight decrease) and could set things on fire with a single touch. But more importantly, he brought warmth to the people around him.

It was said that when Som was five, he fell into the sea when a strong wave hit the fishing boat he was in while on a holiday. Yet, he was miraculously found at the beaches of Sentosa 10 days later. It was said by his parents that he became emotionally and mentally unstable. But his mind flowed like the water, creating interesting concepts no one ever thought of. Most importantly, he could create jokes from thin air, bringing immense joy to the people around him.

Some say that almost everyone in the whole world knows him and that he even spoke to aliens before. It was said that since the day he was born, he could talk to anyone and anything around him. He could also bring peace to warring states if he wanted; and companionship to all who know him. A man of a few words, legend goes that when he speaks, a small part of him inside dies. All we know he is known as Bong.

Ah Pek was sadly knocked down by a car (something like a Tamiya) when he was ten and resulted in his body undergoing a process of premature ageing. (Something to do with the mitochondria, its seems he runs on gasoline rather than ATP) However, he could change his outlook whenever he wants. It is said that he goes around as a young person although he is 50 but no one knows what he did to save this world.

Yang was actually a reincarnation of a fallen Buddha (I never heard of one reincarnating, must have been a bad boy). No one knows of his history but is well recognised for his benevolence, kindness and loving nature. It is said that he has the ability to calm the hearts of the masses and his motto for life is, ‘For Love and Peace, but not for war’.

They were all heroes in their own way.

All we know today:

We think they are in YYLSM, suffering so we might live.

The mystery still remains, Who Are They?

Boatload of Crap

Lol well i realised that recently i havent been writing much of any crap... just posting a lot of pics and vids.... yeah i noe damn chao geng man... well i'm here to redeem myself now haha...

If you've read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy before, there's a part about Deep Thought....

Deep Thought is a computer that was created by a pan-dimensional, hyper-intelligent race of beings to come up with the ultimate answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. When, after seven and a half million years of calculation, the answer finally turns out to be 42, Deep Thought's creators sheepishly realize that they do not know the question.(courtesy of Wikipedia)

Well my point is that.... you know, a lot of people always appear very pissed because they feel that they are unable to attain what they want. But the thing is, many a time, these people don't really know what they want at all.....

Eveybody(well almost everybody) wants to be powerful, to be rich, to be good looking, but all these things are well.... kinda generic. In my opinion, aiming to earn a million before 30 isn't much of any goal at all, cos there's no ground in it at all. No ideas of how to achieve that million, just a lofty want......

So the thing is, unless you know what the question really is..... don't expect an answer man haha......

Unleash the beast

I must thank Shariff for making me do what I had to do yesterday during the float building session yesterday. He made me do what I had to do and that is to give him a wedgie from HELL, coined by 51/03 OCC Delta Platoon One buggers. Well, that wasn't exactly a wedgie from Hell because I didn't really rip his whole underwear out and show it to everybody. It was still inside his pants. HAHA.

Frankly, I hadn't done one before so...Shariff, you are the lucky dick who dispite all the warnings still continue to spray water at all of us. HAHA

And I realised that age has caught up with me! Damm...sprinting around that short distance made me breathless even though I have been running a lot the past few weeks...due to bad weather lately however(excuses, excuses) I've been slacking at home..haha...damm..need to run again and prep for IPPT..

Thanks Tuck for the nice pic of my shaking my bom bom... Well, I must say...my hips definately don't lie.. especially moving anteriorly and posteriorly! HAHA HOOOOO!!!

Well just got back from the coldplay gig... was really really great, but i think this will probably be the last gig i go to in singapore... seriously watching foreign bands in SG is damn freaking chor... but hey its coldplay so it was worth every cent=) anyway here's some photos from the best band in the world.....

As a conscientious student who believes sooooo much in what the teachers or profs say. I decided to apply what I have learnt in the couple of days PDCP by making you buggers do my Johari Window. I think its crap...but well, tell me more about this cranky, screwed up and ah...any vulgarity that you want to use to describe me Leonard. Right... here goes buggers...

Houses

I was on the train going home after going to sim lim with bo. At orchard station, 3 hcjc buggers boarded the train and started talking bout houses and comparing whose houses are bigger. Well, obviously, they are unhappy with thier houses and full of envy of thier friends.

I must admit that I was like that then and still am now. But, I think it gives me a different feeling, a feeling that I must be there someday. Being in medicine, allowed me to dream bigger than before, but don't get me wrong, I don't intend to earn money thru patients but invest whatever I have to allow me to buy the things I want.

Well, I hope my friends who are wealthy and live a good life would know how to appreciate the things they have and try to understand what people down the social classes feel, especially friends who are doing medicine!

But..hey..this post isn't suppose to be sad... its meant to be happy...I gotta show you what I want. Since, I have lots of money to pay off after I grad, I aim to have some of these things by 40 yrs old. To some, a little too long, but I think its just right...

By 40, a small house on a piece of land, a BMW whatever class...but preferably the ones I'm showing you..and to be able to live comfortably even after paying thier instalments.

BMW M5

BMW M3

I'm not saying I'll be getting them, buts it an aim, cuz they sux now. The finishing is made of cheap plastic and its darn hell not worth it. Only the engine is...

Something to get when I hit 50.. a boat.. I hope the pretty ladies are included in the package!

Fairline Targa Series

Its good to fantasize once in a while dudes...tmd... I think I influenced my bros too much that they are thinking of getting a boat alr...never mind...if we cannot buy one each...we can share one and name it the TuckSomBong Gang... if we still exist then..HAHA

Of Mice and Men

You know, i'm sure there are a lot of girls out there that wonder why the hell guys seem to like to talk so much about army. Well i shall try to give an explaination from my point of view, even though National Service you see, is like the Matrix. You cannot be told what it is, you must experience it for yourself........

Note: The following views are from mine as a non disruptee. I'm not being elitist/age-ist or anything, but well.... i didn't disrupt so it's not fair for me to be annexing other people's views.....

Have you ever wondered?

Well 1st of all NS is looooooong. 2 yrs and 4 months(for me anyway). If you thought JC was long add another 4 months to that and go figure.

Secondly National Service is..... well a job that you're pretty much married to, like it or not. Unless you had a cushy desk job from 9 - 5 wif no duties whatsoever, you'll be pretty much stuck in camp most of the time. It's even worse if you're a trainee, cos you only get to book out on sat mornings and you have to book back into camp on sun night.

And the thing is, even on the weekends, when it's supposed to be your own personal time, your army unit can still call you back!! Yeps even if you're enjoying yourself on orchard road someone at mindef can still press a button and ruin your weekend.

So the point is..... well you can't spend 2 yrs 4 months doing something continuously day and night day in day out without it having some kind of significant change on you....

Why must we serve?

I'm sure that a lot of people also wonder, then why do guys always talk about NS when it's generally concieved to be a pretty shitty place to be in?

Well the thing is, NS is a common topic that all guys from all walks of life and different schools can relate to. Even if it's shitty or bad memories it's still a common topic that 2 guys from different schools that have never met before can talk cock about.

Another theory that i have is that.... as far fetched as it may sound... is that guys yearn for a simpler life, in a simpler time, where things aren't always so complicated. Just do your job and **** off. If anything screws up just LLST. Well sounds shitty but hey, no need to study what haha....... and there aren't any girls around either to fuel dissent among guys=p

Because we love our land

So the thing is, well we can't help it if we suddenly started talking cock about army. It's like Pavlov's bell, except instead of dogs salivating when a bell rings it's guys shouting contacted when they hear a bang=)

So the only thing we can do is to limit the conversation as much as possible and try to move on quickly. So girls, next time if you're with a group of guys and they start talking about military stuff, just give a ho-hum look and pray that they move on. Or you could just find another girl and talk about shopping^_^

and we want it to be free to be free.....

The F word

I was blog surfing and I hit the blog by the bugger called Carlos Ang. Right, I'm just gonna copy and paste a whole article from him. Enjoy it and its definately dedicated to my bro Tuck for putting that video up!

Of all the words in the English language, one of the most useful and yet most controversial is the word FUCK. Strangely, there are hundreds and even thousands of words in the English dictionary, and yet FUCK is the only word that is referred to as the ‘F’ word. It truly is a very magical word, because not all words can mean two very opposite things at the same time. The word FUCK can actually connote both pleasure and pain, or both love and hate at the same time, and in rare occasions, even in the same sentence!

Unknown to many, the word FUCK is actually believed to be a German derivative of the word “Frichen”, which means “to strike”... It was once said that FUCK was an acronym used at the early middle-ages or that sort of time, and it meant “Fornication Under the Consent of the King”, or some other alternative with that same meaning. However, this translation is nothing but an urban legend (for more info on this, check out sources 3 & 4 below).

The exact date or age when this word was fully corrupted into the English language is unknown, but we can all assume that, in the early beginnings of the word, it was used to connote sexual intercourse between two people. However, it can be noted that FUCK is the only word that can be used in the most parts of speech known to man, especially in modern times.

If used as a transitive verb: “Adam FUCKS Eve.”
If used as an intransitive verb: “Eve FUCKS.”
If used as a noun: “Stay away, FUCKER!”
If used as an adjective: “Ryan’s doing all the FUCKING work!”
If used as an adverb for a verb: “I’m trying to FUCKING sleep!”
If used as an adverb for an adjective: “Eve is FUCKING beautiful!”
It can even be a different part of a speech, all in one sentence! Take for instance the sentence: “FUCK off, you FUCKING FUCKED FUCKERS!”

Yet one the most amazing applications is to modify a word by inserting it into the word itself, giving stress and importance a million times over, like for example, the words: “abso-FUCKING-lutely!” or “in-FUCKING-credible!”

The word FUCK is definitely a word of so many uses. Strangely, even saying only the word “FUCK!” is already a complete sentence in itself, though it is not advisable because just saying that one word, due to its many applications, is quite vague in terms of its meaning because it can connote many things.

It can mean dishonesty (The insurance company FUCKED me.), it can mean difficulty (I don’t understand this FUCKING question!), it can mean aggression (Don’t FUCK with me, buddy!), it can mean trouble (Oh, I’m so FUCKED now.), it can mean incompetence (My teacher’s a FUCKER!), or it can mean dismissal (Go FUCK yourself!). You can fill in more meanings by yourself.

Lately though, we see it constantly being used with the pronoun “YOU”. When both are used, it is already a complete sentence in itself. It can mean a lot of things depending on the situation. If somebody told you that you’re ugly and you reply by shouting “FUCK YOU!” with a smile, it can mean that you agree with him, but saying it with a frown and a raised fist can mean aggression. If somebody proposed his/her love to you, and you frown and say “FUCK YOU!”, it’s connotes disbelief. If you reply an “I love you” with a smiling “FUCK YOU!”, it’s already as good as “I love you too!”

The power of the word FUCK even transcends racial and class boundaries, because you can use it on anyone regardless of race, color, gender or orientation. Just one use of the word FUCK and everybody will automatically know what kind of person you are and how you were raised. With all this said, let us not be afraid of the ‘F’ word. Not many words exist with the same tenacity and the same power. Therefore, we must shine in pride, as the existence of the word FUCK simply means that we are near to perfecting our language and human communication in general.

Thank you for orienting yourself with this magical word, and if you have reached this far in reading, with a smile I would like to say “FUCK YOU!!!"

Check it out and once again, Tuck, this is for YOU!

TSB strikes back

Well not to be outdone by yany yang..... here's TSB very own cock video from perth.....(oh man leo is gonna kill me haha)

A quick post before I leave my house for a run. I can tell from the previous 2 post that my bro Tuck has gone crazy over boats after the powerboat course; discussing topics about boats to topics as diverse(really?) as why people travel on different sides of the road.

Its our 200th post here and being the narcissistic one among the few of the contributors in this blog, I must be the person who does all the landmark post right? Well, absolutely correct! and of course with BORING articles. HAHA.. I must say, we must put up the article that we wrote for the medicamp booklet, its darn stupid, but that shall be done after the darn camp itself which the people running it utterly disappointed us. But thats not the point.

I was talking and listening to some people regarding the issue of studying medicine before or after NS. I think the way disruptees would attack us would be the bond that we have to serve and of course the 'lesser' pay that we have to recieve. No comments on that since we are cocksters who really want to do medicine and tried multiple times to get in.

I don't really bother about serving the longer bond or what not, I just know that disruptees are gonna serve it in NS practising on recruits while I practice on real life people who comes to the hospital with different problems compared to the flu, fever and what not they have in army. Regarding pay? I don't really bother much bout it, I live for the moment although I do plan for the future... I need to pay my loan back, so going back to the army means lesser pay and lesser money to repay the loan, longer the loan period and the interest will just kill you.

And, one more thing, I'm damm sure that I want to do medicine, thats why I tried 3 times. I'm not saying my peers who disrupted are not sure of it, but judging from the no. of doctors out there who regretted thier decision...the statistics just say it for themselves. I must qualify, people are entitled to complain, I love to complain bout the hardwork that I have to put in, but at the end of the day, I just love doing what I am doing, learning about the things that 230 people a year can learn only. Its really something that all medical students MUST cherish. If not..no comments man...

An Angry Man Rants Some More.....

Well i've found an article which actually explains the reasons why some parts of the world drive on the left and some on the right....

Why Do some countries drive on the right and others on the left?

In the past, almost everybody travelled on the left side of the road because that was the most sensible option for feudal, violent societies. Since most people are right-handed, swordsmen preferred to keep to the left in order to have their right arm nearer to an opponent and their scabbard further from him. Moreover, it reduced the chance of the scabbard (worn on the left) hitting other people.

Furthermore, a right-handed person finds it easier to mount a horse from the left side of the horse, and it would be very difficult to do otherwise if wearing a sword (which would be worn on the left). It is safer to mount and dismount towards the side of the road, rather than in the middle of traffic, so if one mounts on the left, then the horse should be ridden on the left side of the road.

In the late 1700s, however, teamsters in France and the United States began hauling farm products in big wagons pulled by several pairs of horses. These wagons had no driver's seat; instead the driver sat on the left rear horse, so he could keep his right arm free to lash the team. Since he was sitting on the left, he naturally wanted everybody to pass on the left so he could look down and make sure he kept clear of the oncoming wagon’s wheels. Therefore he kept to the right side of the road.



If you look at the distribution you can see that most of the left side driving countries are British(eg Singapore/India) and Dutch Colonies(Indonesia) and the rest of the right side driving countires are the US and France and their respective colonies........

Well but speaking of traffic.... i seriously think people in Singapore are too angsty when driving.... i mean what's the point in horning during a jam?!? The sound energy you're emmitting isn't gonna magically push traffic foward....

You noe what? We should learn from the Thais.... apparently in traffic jams(they get a lotta of that in Bangkok), they wind down their windows to talk cock with each other.... wonder what that would be like in SG...

Driver A: Eh, i like the way you zheng your civic man! where you do one? In JB issit?

Driver B: Yah man.... i do at Johnny's Zheng Garage... cheap cheap....

OR

Driver A:(makes kissing sounds at women driver in the next vehicle)

Driver B:(gives middle finger and winds up window)

An Angry Man Rants

You noe, people always say that i'm a "kantang"(potato) cos i always listen to english music and almost no chinese music at all. Well to be honest i have tried, very hard actually, but i just don't really like most chinese music.

Well the thing is, i actually grew up listening to chinese music. Well yeps, those were the good ol days of the early 90s. I actually used to listen to the "xiao hu dui"(little tigers) and even Aaran Kwok/Guo Fu Chen...

Then in the later part of pri sch when i started to buy cassette tapes(i wonder if kids now adays noe what that actually is) i slowly discovered english music.... Vanilla Ice, Boys II Men, Mariah Carey, Meatloaf, Guns&Roses, Ace of Base..... well from that point my taste of music was pretty much going down the ang moh path liao....

The thing about chinese music is that..... well..... They all sound the same. Pls don't dispute me on this. The fact that there are like a few thousand chinese songs that have the same guitar chord progression of C G Am Em F G C G says something doesn't it? They all have the same buble gummy pop feel to them.....

Well admittedly english music also has its own cookie cutter industry. There must be like millions of crappy products from this industry... but off the top of my head.... ALL the idols show winners, Jessica and Ashlee Simpson, pretty much all the boybands, Hillary Duff, Lindsay Lohan..... well you get my point.....

But the thing is the US and UK music industry is slightly more forgiving, which allows more independent/alternative music artists to get their music out. Many famous current bands were all almost uknown initially. Keane, Coldplay, Dashboard Confessional, The Strokes all used to be "underground" bands. Of cos things are very different now....

But the Mando-pop and Canto-pop industry is like some kind of relentless packaging industry.... its like u hear about new artistes every other day. SHE, TWINS, even lamer names like 2MORO.... and its like all the film actors/actresses seem to double up as singers......

Of cos there are relatively good chinese musicians(i say musicians cos these people actually play their own instruments and/or write most of their own material.) For example Beyond, Jay Chou and maybe even "Wu Yue Tian"(Mayday).

So the things is..... well i just don't really like most chinese music. I guess its nice and relaxing to listen to sometimes, but in the long run.... i'll prob go crazy 1st... i mean admit it... most of these "Artistes" are nothing more then glorified Karaoke singers. They don't write their own music or play their own instruments. All they do is dance and lip sync....

Hoo.............................. well but anyway boating was really fun man.... as you can see from the fotos the Som posted.... maybe i can invest in one of these babies next time man....

bikini clad chiobus not included with boat

Haha ok i guess thats dreaming a bit too far and too much.... well but to be honest, this boating course seems to have revived an interest in the sea for me. I guess that comes with growing up next to the sea.....

Well maybe next time in the future, if i dont get married by the time i finish my bond with MOH... i'll go sign up to be a doctor for some petroleom company and work on board one of those huge oil tankers and sail the seven seas... Arrrghh... shiver me timbers.....

Sailing the seven seas sure beats going back to an empty home.....

Yo ho ho and a bottle of Rum....

Power Boat 2!

Right...today we had more time to photo whore although we didn't take much pictures.. Right..here are just some...I have nothing else to write...maybe I'll write something when I get the the the...ah u know what...

Power Boat

Woo, well, TuckSomBong went for thier first powerboat lesson today and it was damm shiok especially the practical. Its held at a new marina in Sentosa where our instructor MAJ(NS) Tan is a developer. Well, if you haven't heard of it, its called the one degree fifteen marina because its located at latitutdes 1 degree and 15 min; its exactly where Sentosa is. Talking bout Mr Tan, he is one of the most generous person I've ever seen in my whole life, willing to give without asking for anything. Giving us free rides into Sentosa, buying lunch for us when the course fee doesn't include lunch, sharing his experiences and offering us chances to earn money without selling our backsides of course.

You gotta meet him to know what I mean.... Right, I took some pics of us (minus me of cuz) in action. Well, you gotta agree that my Bros are damm slutty and photo whores esp xy... HAHA.. Right..here it is:
