HELLO !!!!! It's ME!!!!!! Yes, I'm sorry about not writing earlier. I still dont' have my computer and so I have to use public terminals . Right now, I'm using a friend's computer. Can't wait for mine to come. Anyway, just wanted to say Hi to you people, how are you all? Penny, when are you leaving? I called you just yesterday, but you were out giving tuition. Did your brother tell you? Right now, weather here id very unstable. One day, it'd be very cold and wi dy and another day, it'd be even hotter than in Singapore. Cause ther's little cloud cover here, it'd be scorching in the afternoon and chilling at night. I think one of the things that I have to get used to over here is the frequency of the buses. IT's s methinglike once every hour and service ends around 7 pm or something. One weekend, I missed the last bus back to campus cause I totally forgot that it's not like Singapore. So I had to walk back to campus. Took me almost one and a half hours. (and carryi g my shopping stuff). Sheesh.... My room mate's pretty nice, but she's REALLY messy. She has this habit of eating cornflake in the room and she eats it like Cookie Monster. (you know..... like she takes a fistful of cornful and eats from it and the cornfl ke wil like spills over onto the floor) So I vacuum the floor and two hours later, when I return, there's cormflake on the floor again. Sigh.... And she leaves her towel and bath robe ob the floor and when she needs it, she jst picks it off the floor and ses it. Can't understand her.... And right now..... I'm drowning in my homework. I literally have hundreds of pages or reading to do (as in I'm hundredsof pages behind). Have to really try and catch up over the weekend. Oh dear.... I have somethingto do r ght now... I'll try to come back later.... See you.

Seems like there couldn't possibly be a better way of keeping in touch with everyone else than online conv, especially all those who're overseas, if you like, a thin thread that still connects our widely disparate lives. But entries do seem to be terribly scarce, all too busy to write? nothing worth writing? hmmm.... another terribly important question:why is the month before the date?

I could never leave. it would mean to leave too much of "me" behind... it takes alot of courage to go off to a foreign land to study... almost like starting life anew... from scratch... so to all you brave souls out there, wish you all the best!

Hello..... been quite a while since I last touched my computer.... anyway, glad to know that Op Nos was a succes (and sorry again to HQ for not having his present ready on time). I was rushing to finish all the washin gup at my chalet so that I could call you people, b tI guess I called at a bad time -- just when you people were about to start the gift exchange. I'm really busy right now with all the packing and preaparation (and helping my parents in the shop). can't believe that I'm actually leavin gin a few days' time -- feel so unprepared. And when I think of the people going and how well I know them (ie. hardly), I feel depressed. And some old friends have been calling me up the past few days, for some last bits of conversation. When I think of all the people I'm leaving behind, I feel even more depressed. Sigh.....

yuhua - 08/11/98 04:11:26

Comments:
what last qn, HQ? oh, to Alan & family, Penny, Haoyang and esp Weikai, thanks for all the effort..OpNos was a gr8 success yeah?? here's to more of such stuff in the future!!!

HQ - 08/10/98 12:47:15

Comments:
Why aint no one written about Ops Nos. yet??... so i guess it's up to me to start the ball rolling...[after all, it is THE single event which we have shared since a very very long time...] It WAS great... seeing so many of us together, and Mr Tay turning p... the items, the gift x-change... sort of felt like another inaug, and it was of such signifincance... ... it's like Wen says... when we all leave sch and become the never-mature-enuff adults we will be, it'll just getting harder and harder to meet for no significant reason... and his solution?... squash... then again, we'll always have Alan Day, Alan's place, Yvonne's place... mebbe we could even throw birthday parties for each other... if we ever remain/be tt close... ... i hate these transitional periods between schools... [and harder this time rd cos i've yet to convince my self tt the 2.5 years of NS isn't to be the T-period] ... you just gotta constantly tell yourself to go on... make new friends... keep in touch... and not let yourself be consumed by your private activities and become all closed up... ... but life is always easier said then done... anyways... got leave from 13/8 to 16/8 b4 i fly off to Brunei, so i just might go visiting those hostel pple... btw, how long is Chris staying anyway?? ... almost time to go... got to do duty tomolo somemore... =( lastly... me like yuhua last question...

Alan - 08/02/98 10:13:57

Comments:
Ok ok. I write. I write. Somehow, I always thought that writing was an activity governed by the introverted functions. In my case at least, that seemed to be the case. Not least because writing is usually done in private and by a single person, but also because writing is, for me a time when I connect with what I do not express in public. The concept of a conversations book reverses the above paradigm. Here, introverted functions are at work in an environment which guarantees an audience be present. A sort of communual diary, which can be a frightening prospect at times. The reason why I'm writing this is of course, not because I've just had a lecture on psychology, but because I'm inspired to spew some on the page, considering that no one's written anything in some time. And I think personality psychology is fascinating. Don't you? Anyway, I'm really looking forward to seeing all of you on Op Nos. I haven't seen a lot of you for a long time...

hi, how is it that no-one writes anymore? Was reading the old conversations today. And there were all thes problems, serious and not so, and moods that the topics would run through. Reading the entries elicits such emotions. Guess we write less cos we hav nothing concerning all of us anymore. do u think we'll all die out or will there always be something to say?

Hello..... first of all, I just want to thank everyone for the farewell party and for the tape (which I've listened to 4 timse so far and which keeps making me laugh at the silly "static" and the other side comments. Pity everything was so soft except for JOSHUA'S voice . And to those who waited with me and theresa for the bus to come, thanks also. I guess it's ironic that at the time when I wanted most to say something meaningful, something that would convey my feelingsa bout leaving all you people, I couldn't think of anything sensible to say ( when I'm usually such a chatterbox). Maybe words really aren't adequate sometimes.... Anyway..... I don't want to wax lyrical about friendships and partings and whatnots. After all, I'm not REALLY leaving yet and considering I'll still see Penny and SUzhen for the next 2 weeks.... maybe that can come later (do I hear groans in the backgro nd?) To anyone who's interested, my flight info is as follow: Date--16th August ; Time--5 pm (I suppose I'll be there from about 3 pm ++) ; Flight #--SQ 2Y. Gate no.--dunno. If you people are coming down, I'd appreciate it, but pls don't if you can't (the ast thing I'd want ot be b4 i leave is a nuisance). OK?? Oh yah..... one more thing.... to anyon ewho'sinterested in writing to moi, Address is: 7421, Low Rise 7, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA So long......

Hello everyone... it's nice to see something gong for our batch after such a long stagnant period... but un-fortunately NS life doesn't quite allow for my full participation in helping to organise Ops Nos. ... am presently about to embark on the last "xiong" item for Service term, then i'll be pretty lobo till National Day passes... and tt item is none other then the infamous Ex. SPADE... the recent series of Ex.s have demanded much of my weekends for "recovery"... and of course... FF7 just came out on PC.... ... how i wish it be year 2000 now... when my NS life would be over.. and my Uni Life would be starting... ... next time, we should make the last Sat of June, Ops Nos day... ...

from a song:
Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold
It's always summer they never get cold
They'll never get hungry, they'll never get old and grey
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home but they really don't care
They wanted the highway they're happier there today
Today
Somehow i really like this.

Actually, Yvonne was referring to the skin. The skin is dried up so it's almost totally black. I met Ben and Raymond. Ben's in charge of assigning year 2 counsellors to us pathetic year 1s. It's quite nice to see your seniors again.

Forgot to add....... no, Penny and i aren't working anymore. On my part, no one wants to employ me. On peny's part, she has politely decliined to continue teaching Chem. GRIN

Comments:
Hello... just to correct a minor misconception on Yvonne's part.. I think the bodies are far from dried up. In fact, weiayng told me that they are full of cadaver juice (ie formaldehyde). Remember Fengyi? The on e in Batch 11 who went to NJC? Well.. she s in Med now and weiyang told me last year about howher group was trying to cut up this body to examine tha muscles but hte guy was so fat that they had to turn him'her over to let the fat droop over and in the process, the cadaver slipped and fell on the table, splahing cadaver juice on everybody (oh well.. that was what I heard....) For anyone who's interested, I'm leaving on August the 16th (which is a Sunday). Afternoon, I think..... The international freshman orientatino starts onthe 17th. Suzhen is l aving onthe same day too. To the same place (san francisco) but I think her flight is in the morning. (11am, I think......) Actually, we're not very sure cause PSC hasn't told us yet. Another thing... anyone (those not going to NUS/NTU) want to go and ga ecrash their lectures? Was thinking of going for the Science FAculty lectures/Medicine Lectures..... But I need to follow someone's timetabble.....Someone adopt me!!

For the same price. had the english test for GP- incompete t people today. the first part was simpe and fun, correcting mistakes in a passage. the second was a moronic essay. even if i conk on this, i still believe my english is proficient. bah to them. as for the chem thing i decided i should do something i like and worry about the job prospects later. i didnt get chem E, think my GP was too lousy. but i'm glad cos i'd decided on what i really wanted.

Just came back from Comm Studies orientation camp. For those doing the same course, there are lots of girls there. So happy buayaing. Wow! It's a nice feeling knowing people whom you'll be sticking with for the next four years. In fact I kinda missed you eople on the first day of my camp. It suddenly occurred to me that it's not that easy to find a close group of friends in uni and I appreciate having found one in JC. New bonds will be formed but old bonds should still remain. I agree with Chris. Some peo le never expect to end up in where they will end up. I'm one good example. Always thought I "should" take engineering/ get a prestigious scholarship. Well I bet life is quite unpredictable sometimes. Will be going for another camp soon. Dunno when I'll me t you guys again. But good luck and take care! Btw, theresa, I thought you chose Chem Eng. How did Chem come about? Anyway, just trust your judgement and don't look back with regrets.

Chunda, you sound sick. Go and report sick. Then you can meet me! Yup I'm at Paya Lebar Air Base too, at the medical centre. Ask why? I dunno also..practically lobo everyday. Except for two 5km runs every week. Xiao one.

You may also want to notice the date and time of this entry. I am also happy, although I am not deferring. Why? Because I am part of the rare 5% of NS servicemen sent to the Air Force! Anyway, week 0 is Airmen Orientation Programme- an eight to five lobo amp in Paya Lebar Air Base. It's almost like another block leave after the dreaded life of SISpec. With some luck, I'll be sent to the Mistral system and do exercises in Canada and South Africa. Eat your hearts out, folks!

Gee... why? OH well.. congrats on getting your deferrment. I'm surprised you aren't jumping aroud shouting "I'm a civilian" or something (or were you?) And another thing... are we going anywhere on this Saturday afternoon?

Hiya folks! We the slackers at Sispec (eg Duuwen, Alan, Wenyi) have earned our chevrons! Even though it is the lousy rank of a "man", it IS still a black one... not like the white epaulets of the folks next door. Well, better get 'em black before they dis ppear! (touch wood)

Somehow what haoyang said in his last entry strikes me deeply. I do have the same sentiments too. I have already signed on Air Force, and will disrupt for studies this coming NUS school term. In the midst of celebration for this temporary ORD, I feel like I'm gonna miss out a lot. My platoon, my APCS, my team instructors, my dearest rifle, my bunk, the OCS environment, the comfortable main audit chairs.....While I was in there seeing all of these everyday I wished they would just get out of my life. Now th t I got my wish..sigh..i realised part of my heart is still lingering there...this is really an incredible dilemma. Combat army is..seriously, quite interesting. The learning process is enjoyable. I usually don't think so when I'm doing it. But now everyt ing just seems like...so fun. And hearing what I'll be missing for service term which the rest of my platoon will be going through, i feel like i'm really missing out so much. Felt like a failure though there's no reason to. But anyway on the other hand i m glad that i'll be able to continue my academic momentum. If anyone of u happen to study in NUS this year, look out for me, engineering =).

Forgot to add my own -- I'm going to Cornell to do Econs under PSC, for anyone who's interested to know.

Ruth... I suppose that means that you go tinto Mass COmm? Well... congrats, then. I guess this beats getting a scholarship to go overseas and study Engineering, then come back to a job you do'nt like and end up being some one who wishes she could break he bond, but can't..... Hmmm Maybe now you can seriously consider then internship thingy that I was mentioning. Or try SIM again mext year, yah? So far. no one has told me about where they're going, except (to-be) Dr Yvonne Goh Guat Keng (Psychiatrist)How bout th rest? And Penny, did you take up PSC? And everyone else? Let us know.....

HY, you're nutz!!! What's so bad about loboing? Should learn to enjoy your free time while you can! I'm perfectly happy with life now. No more rush from work to dance then to dunno where. No need to see my boss's face anymore. It hasn't been this relaxing for a long time.... Btw, has everybody got their posting? I heard Eng, Law and Med got theirs already rite? Goodluck to everyone and for those who didn't get their first choice, don't be disappointed. It's not the end of the world. Really looking forward o university. Finally I'm studying something I like... No more "bleak destiny ahead" and such phrases....

hullo....haven got an entry for quite a while yah? haven seen most of u guys for quite a while too.... some irony i'm experiencing here.... just like alvin complaning abt OCS and all the nonsnese he's to bear.... i used to complain much abt my cdo training too....why we had to go thru so much training... why we had so lil freedom and bookout time..... well...now in the airforce...everything's diff... i'm just a chao lobo....overpaid and underutilised...i can just imagine my fellow mates back at cdo...learning abt demolitions..boatmanship...signals...weapons...so much more constructive...even tho faced with more physically demanding roles....but really ..when u go back to ur bunk ...shaq-faced ...and u just stare blankly at ur equally stoned mates....and the equally stoned response from them...it really conveys so much...with just simple gestures... this is prob st the guys would feel more.... really starting to miss all of these.... really just rotting at FTS now.... no jeremy...no pretty LTAs here to chase.... just daily area cleaning for the next few... MTHS!!!!! arrgh!!! give me back my jungle hat!!! and my rifle!!! my webbing...and we'll do section training together....:).... i tink i need some time to get over this culture shock..... anyway...it's just so like us to complain abt the situation wherever we are....no matter whether lobo or tough as hell.... i'm gonna try to look beyond all the loboing...find some good....(is it truly possible???!!) hmm... alvin...mebbe when u pass out....u'll see the diff it made in u...:) God bless.... take care..... ps:when're we going to celebs asia? or someelse fun? i'm dying to meet up with u all.!

this is sort of irrelevant at this tine, but I find the previous message by Alvin said in a distinctly "un-Alvin" tone. Honest! Somehow can't quite believe that he was the one who wrote the message. Sounds more like .. I dunnowho..... but not him. I guess that's why people say that guys change a lot in the army. Mature?

This msg is especially for all our NS guys... How many of U actually find NS life OK? I dunno abt the others, but for the 5 of us in OCS, I believe tt we have to constantly give 100% effort just to keep out of trouble.... =( Sad huh? I was quite enthusiastic at first, but now 7 weeks into the course, the pressure's mounting..... Hee, I onl just managed to xiam a defaulter's parade this weekend =) How? Any way to keep cadets happie??
