BUAY KAN!

So i had my unit's anniversary on monday, and each battery had to come up with a skit or performance to show the 3rd Div commander and 3rd Div Arty commander as part of our celebration..

HQ battery had Dharni.. In case you dunno who that is, he is supposedly the best beatboxer in Asia.. Thats what i heard so far about him and he is in my unit.. he was bloody power.. he did a transformers thingy with his voice and it was really damm real.. this is one of his old performances..



He did other beats also and it was really damm power.. he could make like 3 beats simultaneously in his mouth at one time.. Amazing!! No wonder he is da best.. But from what i heard also, he has some attitude probs also.. apparently he is too over confident of himself.. who could blame him also?? he competes with the world's best beatboxers... but i usually dont see him with friends, most of the time he is alone in camp.. so kinda sad for such a talented guy..

Well, this week had like 2 major events for my unit and alot of shitty things happened on the way.. Not all happened on us men, but the sergeants had it also.. 8 of them awarded 21days SOL.. and alot of arguements within the battery commanders.. Drama mama..

And this guy in my detachment that i absolutely hate, correction, the whole battery hates, is getting more and more irritating.. long long story.. but every camp sure have this kinda of ppl one.. all i can say is, BUAAYYY KAN!!

Personality Test

Your Personality Style Description: J values close, personal relationships, and he will often put the needs and desires of those who are loyal friends ahead of his own needs. He is an even-paced individual who thrives in a peaceful, harmonious environment. J will work to avoid conflict and sudden changes in his lifestyle and finds joy in keeping tradition.

J clarifies expectations before undertaking new projects, and he works hard to meet standards. J will typically maintain a neat and orderly work environment.

J prefers a rational and moderate approach when first entering new situations and tries to avoid extremes. He likes the company of others, but J is equally comfortable spending a quiet evening alone. He is a realist who will always weigh his options before he makes a decision to move ahead.

Love Language Profile Results

Score Love Language
2 Words of Affirmation
5 Quality Time
3 Receiving of Gifts
11 Acts of Service
9 Physical Touch

How to interpret your Profile Score:

Your highest score indicates your primary love language. Your second highest score indicates your secondary love
language. If two scores are identical, you are bilingual (you have two primary love languages). If the scores of your
primary and your secondary language are close (for example, 10 & 9 respectfully), it indicates both are important to
you. Whatever a significant other does to express love in either of these languages will get emotional points with you.
The highest possible score for any language is 12.



Having a clear picture of your primary & secondary love languages will explain much of your past behavior Think back
over the past and ask yourself "What have I most often requested from significant others?" Chances are your answer
will lie within the scope of your primary & secondary love languages. You have been requesting that which would meet
your deepest need for emotional love.

Knowing myself better..

In the eye of the beholder??

I read this article about what kind of woman is attractive to a man?? Kinda interesting.. so gonna share bits and pieces of it..

[The truth is - beauty lies in diversity - and the perception of range. It's a big ass and small tits in Rio De Janeiro, but the opposite in Miami. The English love their Page 3 girls, but they would find it hard to win a beauty contest in Africa. Look into Japan and it is cute and petite (preferably in uniforms?), with big eyes - embodied by the term kawaii.

What makes a woman beautiful??

The media plays an influential role in determining what is beautiful globally. ANd so does the culture of a society, according to scientists. Science has also proven that what we find it difficult to find certain things beautiful, especially those that are disproportional.

Being in Spore, the idea here seems to be a lean, fair-skinned girl with a pretty face and the straw poll proved the generalisation is true.

Dr Shyon Baumann, from Uni of Toronto has been leading a team to come up with the answer of beauty once and for all. They claim that men of all races are subconsciously attracted to women that have fair skinned, or will always prefer a fairer skinned woman given the choice. Additionally, women are more drawn to dark-complexioned men.

So why the preference for fair skinned women??

Its all down to purity. In a world where black is associated with evil, and white with goodness, researchers say that the baseline attraction is not driven by base desires, but rather by moral assumptions. Fairer skin is associated with "innocence, purity, modesty, virginity, vulnerability and goodness".

What the research shows is that our aesthetic preferences operate to reflect moral preferences. Within our cultures we have a set of ideals about how women should look and behave.

And is beauty really in the eye of the beholder?? It isnt, it is in the brain according to the researchers.. Our brains are fine-tuned and hardwired to help us figure out whether someone is beautiful or not because this helps us to survive as a race. Remember that the next time you get caught checking out a girl, IT'S IN YOUR GENES, NOT YOUR PANTS.

Years ago, scientist studying statues and carvings found that there was a certain degree of proportionality to the features on these stones. They studied the distance between other body parts and basically came up with a golden ration of 3:14. The researches at Uni of Toronto have proven that many catwalk models have generally proportional figures, but they all have something that is slightly out of proportion in their faces. Thus, make-up artists, stylists ad designers have something to work with.

Enter the media, which has had the biggest effect on the way we judge what is beautiful by far. Blondes have more fun? A Hollywood invention that has influenced the world. Over 90% of all female newscaster in AMerica are currently blonde, and that is probably the strongest testament to the strength of the media in projecting their values of beauty.

Researchers analysed advertisements featuring white women only, and found that women with the darkest complexions, were more likely to be in an advanced state of undress.]

No wonder whitening products are selling everywhere and so expensive as well..

KL - Benny Lava

Back from KL.. Well, the trip was okay.. I din really bought something for myself.. Just an audio speaker for my bunk and pepper spray for some vicious pranks.. MUHAHAHA..

I got to say, KL prices of clothes are exactly the same as Spore.. They sell almost the same stuff.. G200, Espirt, Topshop, etc.. So, i din really see a point in buying stuff that i could get in Singapore.. It would only add more baggage in my already 2 ton heavy bag..

So what did i do there?? Eat and eat n eat.. Ate the "lost" A&W, zhi char - chilli crabs, these damm delicious noodles at the road side, manhattan seafood (i tink) - the malaysia equivalant of Fish & co.. That was the only things that were cheap, food!! Ate plenty of it.. Rest of my money went into cabs and motel payment.. The company there was good.. We had alot of fun just walking ard and making jokes and stuff..

ANd i learnt that pepper spray is a damm powerful weapon.. No wonder it is banned in Spore, but we smuggled it in.. We tried spraying a small bit of it, and it was like tear gas.. we choked like mad.. U must be there to see the area of impact.. It was POWERFUL!

And that KL taxis always try to cheat ur money.. never take a ride more than 40RM.. And lan gaming is very cheap there and i was intro-ed this hilarious video.. haha.. enjoy

Could this get any worse?

It was a bad week in camp.. Alot of stuff happened.. In one month, 3 ppl from my camp already went Detention Barracks.. In case you dunno, DB is not like secondary school detention class, but its worst than prison.. How do i know?? Alot of people say so, although i never been there before, but i know they have sandbag regime where they basically make sandbags all day.. Making sandbag isnt easy.. Ask anyone who went through field camp in BMT and they will tell u that.. Making one already damm sian.. All day?? Sure die..

The first guy that went DB, he was just asking for it, faking his fiance's death and many other things.. Plus the whole battery din like him cos he bluffs about literally everything.. we never believe anything he says.. The other 2, were close friends to the battery.. they were well liked but went about to do stupid things then kanna caught.. Most of us heard the news, all felt very sian..

IF that was not bad enuf, we have fucked up commanders who want to make our lives worst.. they cancel our privillages like nights out cos of whats happenening and they think cos of that, our discipline is dropping.. army already no link den they can link from ppl going DB to lack of discipline.. we all know that is cos they were unhappy so many ppl went DB and not cos of lack of discipline but army has alot of excuses la..

So almost every sergeant came to us and tell us to buck up cos sergeant major not happy and also cos my dear officer went to complain about us also.. not like this week was a bad enuf week already, he just had to complain la.. really bastard act.. Cos of him, we have a formal last parade.. Means we must all fall in, the sergeant must serdiya the battery, salute officer, ask permission to carry on with reading the routine orders for tml, after reading, serdiya battery again, ask for permission to dismiss battery, den bersu rai.. Like what the hell la..

This is what happens when you got too many officers in the battery.. Officers here are useless.. They do not know any thing about the primus gun.. So what do they know?? How to conduct PT, be safety officer and do stupid things when nothing to do.. They should be the ones getting men's pay.. We should get sergeant's pay and sergeants should get officer's pay.. it is only a few of my officers that really damm bastard..

What does NS mean?? SAF is not Singapore armed forces.. its serve and fuck off.. but there are some ppl who think they are sign on garang bastards.. Even some sign ons also not so garang as them le.. Do so much shit also cant get promoted, in de end also serve 2 years then go.. stupid le..
As you can see my week already quite screwed up cos of all these little things, den came this cockster from my bunk which i already outcast him cos of what he did this week.. He already make our blood boil almost every week cos he damm cock, either screwing things up or making ppl damm pissed off.. This week is the worst week of our battery, and of the five days we stay in, he made me piss five times.. everyday one time.. ask me for the details cos its too long to write here..

Some of my battery mates, about nine of them planned a KL trip next fri to sun, at first they asked if i wanted to go, i din want cos i took leave to spend time with my gf, but my plan was ruined.. So i tot just take leave and slack at home.. But one of the guy went to DB so cant go, so i was offered again, and i took it.. Not really the ideal situation to accept that offer cos that guy went DB if u know what i mean.. And when the officer who went to visit him in DB, he told the officer that he wish us a great trip to KL.. I really felt i shldnt be the one going but that guy should be going.. really wasted..
