its finally book out again today. i was suppose to book out yesterday though, but too bad, i had duty to do. well, amongst the busy things i had to do during my tour of duty, i had a few gd moments doing it.

first, i cleared doubts of muslim parents about prayers and fasting in Army and they were glad i was there to help them. i was glad i knew something. secondly, after the oath taking, all the non-muslims get to go makan while the muslims had thier last moments together with thier beloved singaporean son. The recruits have to send thier family to the Tekong ferry terminal as part of routine that many batches of recuits have done. i reflect back MY moment as a recruit 1 year ago, sending my parents and my little brother to Tekong Ferry terminal. anyway, back to the current moment, this batch of recuits are those fit ones. They are the ones who passed thier NAPFA test in thier schs. Those macho2 guys. Yes, macho they are but they do have the emotional side of them. yup2.

there was only 4 malay family. so i get the privilage to talk with them and clear thier doubts again while they were waiting for the ferry back to mainland. worried parents and even one of the grandmother gave me the look when i told them NS is nothing until after they graduated from BMTC. HA. maybe i shouldnt say that. I was told by the ferry operators that the parents can take thier leave after that and yup, just as i expected from a malay muslim family. The salams, the hugs from the females and pats on the back from the males and gd luck wishes from both sexes. yup, 3 out of the 4 was emotionally strong i guess except for one. the one with the grandmother. my fren told me got one of them cried and i being the BODOH me say that its usual for the parents to cry. but i was so wrong. The grandma and the grandson was hugging each other ah and crying. aiya, i oso cry. But being the SOLDIER i should be, i just let them have the moment and smiled at the grandma and assure her that her grandson will be in good hands. Yup, in 'GOOD HANDS' of the Sergeants. Ahahkz. the grandma thanked me and she turned around facing the ferry and headed to the ferry. giving the last gd bye to her grandson, i stood beside him and asked, "is that your favorite granny?" he smiled and replied, "My only granny". I gave him the assurance that we will take care of him and i told him to make sure call his grandma often. and yah, after i handed him to the respective sergeants and officers, i went off.

Encik came to me and pat on my back. i heard what u did, job well done. weekend almost burned but priceless. things like this hardly come by in the outside world. and may i put it this way, i'm glad that i've got the chance to go thru it.

met baby today. short and sweet one. love u b!!!

bought the Straits Times today. Scary shit going on in this world. Terrorist now are crazy man. i mean, they are even attacking Mosques. I condem this acts! *i sound like PM LEE lah.* its really scary. this terrorist have been brought up the WRONG way. I am a muslim too but i wasnt taught to kill. to harm innocent peoples lives. to destroy homes. to create havoc. NO! this is not muslim ways. Even NABI say if we are to go into war, lifes wont be taken just like that. If this terrorist dont like what is going on in this world, then kill YOURSELF lah. u go hell. better. enjoyable what there. Nobody will condem u. Satan will love u. i mean, why? why you ppl have to do this. u want to wipe out all those non-muslim huh? i think cannot ah. you are not GOD, you are not ALLAH. if u are a terrorist and you are reading this, pls. Go refer to the Quran again, get the meaning right. Understand it. Pray. Talk to ALLAH. And you will know this is wrong.

i hope i wont go to court for this. will i?

earthquakes happening in India/Pakistan and Northen Sumatra. Will SAF be deployed again? i think we will be. Singapore will do every thing to get friendly ties with other countries. yup. this is good. us being small, we should find friendly ties. You know people say, what goes around comes around. We help people and hopefully, if (touchwood) anything happens to singapore, then people will help us. Insya'allah!

yup2. long entry. Just wondering why cant the world be like the 90s. even got those irritating ah bengs and ah lians, but at least the world is peaceful. In my belief along with my religion, earthquakes happen for a reason. only ALLAH knows.

love reading it?
