超级星光大道1，我从开始就非常看好与喜欢林宥嘉。Yoga也发了自己首长专辑《神秘嘉宾》，深受大家喜爱。
超级星光大道2，我最支持的是梁文音与黄美珍。美珍与2届冠军组成了“神木与瞳”发了专辑。文音的天籁之音也非常让人期待她的新歌。
超级星光大道3，我最喜爱的参赛者，也是新加坡的代表，黄靖伦，终于将要发个人首张专辑。虽然他的知名度在本地还没那么强，但他可是台湾观众最喜爱的星光3参赛者，让他成了星光3人气王。非常独特的阴阳嗓，有时听不出是真假音，听不出是男或女，难以取得。他也是星光3班首位发专辑的参赛者，抢先于冠军徐佳莹。他签进“伟忠帮”成了杨宗伟的师弟。为你介绍的首张专辑《伦语录》的首播主打《月光》。请大家新加坡人多多支持本地新人！

Popoye Chicken
Me and my medic course friends went down to Singapore Flyers yesterday evening to satisfy our craving for Popoye Chicken. In the past, only when i visit the airport then can i grab the opportunity to consume this american fastfood restaurant. Now that it opened another branch in Singapore Flyers, it is much for convenient for us. Anyway, the chicken wasnt as tasty as the branch in airport, and its quite ex. After that, we took a shuttle service back to City Hall and had Ben's & Jerry icecream which we ate and chatted until 10pm. So much for the TGIF mood yesterday.

你不是真正的快乐
为大家独家介绍五月天收入在将要发最新专辑里头的主打歌《你不是真正的快乐》。歌曲风格是抒情摇滚，由阿信作词作曲。星期一首次在网上听到台湾电台首播这首歌时就被吸引住了。本人觉得歌曲的涵义很有意思，说的是在笑声背后，笑道人是否真的快乐。就如其中的歌词“你不是真正的快乐，你的笑只是你穿的保护色”与其“这世界笑了 於是你合群的一起笑了”。我们是为了什么而笑？是因为自己快乐吗？还是受到当时下短暂的某事件、因素、挑逗而开怀大笑。但是，笑玩了，又归回原本，自己之后又是否是快乐的？如果不是有为什么会笑呢？是因为大家都在笑吗？为何不能坚持自己的心情心境，若不快乐又为何要笑呢？以上是本人对于歌曲的自我分析和歌曲给本身传达的含义。
观看的此歌独家首播的MV，是关于一个男生在街上卖笑话，传达快乐，为的是筹钱买条衣服给瘫痪的女友。街上的受惠者，也是购买者都在听了笑话后开怀大笑，但是之后又回到自己之前的心情。而这个卖笑话的男生，虽然自己在传达快乐，但自己一点也不快乐。MV中又出现另一名女生，在游乐园里版白雪公主抖大家快乐，但下了班卸了妆却一点也不快乐。同样的，这两位本身都不快乐，却在经营快乐的兜售，体现出个矛盾。最后男生带瘫痪女友到游乐园去跟白雪公主拍照。男友跟女友讲了个笑话，女友笑了。不知你看了MV会是感到伤心，难过或启发。本身是心潮澎湃，也引起了我对于笑与快乐之间关系的思考。我觉得这是一首很有意义的歌，所以大力像大家推荐，请大家多多益善！
人 群中 哭著 你只想变成透明的颜色
你再也不会梦 或痛 或心动了
你已经决定了 你已经决定了
你 静静 忍著 紧紧把昨天在拳心握著
而回忆越是甜 就是 越伤人了
越是在手心留下 密密麻麻 深深浅浅 的刀割
你不是真正的快乐
你的笑只是你穿的保护色
你决定不恨了 也决定不爱了
把你的灵魂关在永远锁上的躯壳
这 世界 笑了 於是你合群的一起笑了
当生存是规则 不是 你的选择
於是你含著眼泪 飘飘荡荡 跌跌撞撞 的走著
你不是真正的快乐
你的笑只是你穿的保护色
你决定不恨了 也决定不爱了
把你的灵魂关在永远锁上的躯壳
你不是真正的快乐
你的伤从不肯完全的愈合
我站在你左侧 却像隔著银河
难道就真的抱著遗憾一直到老了
然后才后悔著
你值得真正的快乐
你应该脱下你穿的保护色
为什麼失去了 还要被惩罚呢
能不能就让悲伤全部结束在此刻
重新开始活著

The Houseflies, the Scorpion & the Wild Boar
I'm back from "Exercise B", alive. I'd always thought i would die in the wild of Life Firing Area in my one week stay there. Its so psychologically challenging for a softie like me who's so used to staying in aircon room and look at computer screens in my NS life. It has always been the case when I've gone through shit or was on-going through shit that i've learnt how to appreciate the convenience and comfort of my daily life. What a loser.
Anyway, there were some non-combat aspects of this exercise that i would like to mention, or dictate. Being deployed in one of the many many giant hills in LFA, i was so exposed to the torments of this tropical vegetation. First of all, the houseflies. These creatures irritated me for the true few days i've been out there. More so than the mosquitoes (because i brought along mosquito coils and repellents to spam).
But anyway, pardon me for digressing previously, these little houseflies were true irritants. They were not in sight when we first arrived at the spot of deployment. Rather, we do not exactly know where they come from. After setting up the admin area where food and water were introduced, these little creatures started swarmping in from nowhere, occupying our rest area like tyrants. They multiply as the days went. More interestingly, they seemed to be over-enjoying their buffet that they started landing on our sweaty SBO or even us human beings, as though they've mistaken us for the food on the table instead. They constant merry-making, flying around like little children run wild in a play house were complimented with our fustration and frequent swarpping. Totally nuisience.
Anyway, talking about food ration during outfield, i am always totally turned off by the pungent of strange concortion of smell diffusing from the re-used meal bags thats not often washed. Leftover food in the meal bags create even more "aromatic-theruputic effect" that made me feel like puking. As such, i seldom eat outfield and it may serve as a good source of diet plan.
On the friday night, one of the personels was stung by a freaking scorpion at the neck. He initially came looking for me with complains of sharp pain at neck, as though an insect bite, but did not know what is it. I dismissed him off after observing the area, finding no marks of bite, hence suggesting him to seek me if he was to develop any forms of anaphalytic reaction. However, moments later, he came back to me with a plyer in his hand. On the damn plyer was a pathetic looking scorpion he caught crawling over his body. At that moment i was so shock and hence decided to evac him to the nearest medical centre. However, what disgusted me was how slow the admin procedures of the camp and medical centre was in this case. You can feel my fustration as i yearned for immediate medical assistance from the med ctr for my dear patient who could fell into anaphalytic shock anytime (though he is still able to talk and walk). Oh well, cursed that scorpion who got me into these mental traumas.
Anyway, during my stay in the LFA, i wasnt as lonely as i thought i would be due to frequent visits by wild boars. I suspected that they were the same 2 wildboars that kept on visiting the deployment site. My first sight of the wild boar caused me great shock as i wasnt prepared for it. It was especially during the evenings that they visited, probably searching for food around. Or it could be possible that we intruded into their territory. Anyway, there was this once where i was alone in the admin tentage and the wild boar started circling the area, as though it was to barge in anytime to steal food. I never dealt with wild boars before so i was rather afraid at the point of time. The last thing i would ever want then was a wild boar charging at me in fury. Anyway, back to the scene, the fearless wild boar started approaching the tentage with me inside. I was in a lost of what to do. Just as it was about 1 to 2 metre away, i stood up, about to run out. But it stopped advancing. I stared at it with my arms folded like some angry owner guarding his territory. Little did i expect the wild boar to walked away as i gave a sigh of relief. But repeatedly, the wild boars still came back to visit, waiting upon opportunities to steal food from us. It had caused me sleepless nights for fear of it charging in when i was asleep.
So much about the torments i've gone through during my few days stay in LFA, with regards to the creatures and the fact that i could not sleep, eat and shit in peace, i feel that this visit to LFA has got its merits. This restricted area has actually alot to offer for nature lovers. The beautiful and majestic landscape comprising of reservoirs, big hills and greenery is really good for the eye. The scenery from the top of one of the hills, overlooking the entire LFA, is fantastic. As we deployed in many hilltops, i got to see the untouched side of singapore's natural tropical vegetation. Well, perhaps the natural landscape was so well preserved due to its restricted entrance to civilians. Only soldiers who are training can enter.
But anyway, thanks to this long outfield, i came back this afternoon, after switching with my colleague, taking a long hot water bathe and wash my boots which were so stained by mud of the wild. Will be back to medical centre tml with alot of unfinished and outstanding tasks in hands. It would be a busy week ahead.

Pre Outfield Syndrome
There will be a major exercise lasting 2 weeks starting this weekend. All innocent, honest and upright combat medics in my medical centres are down for this exercise as cover medics for the different units involved. I have my share of it by having to cover for 5 days. It will be the case of 5 days surviving with nothing but my medical equipments in the unforgiving mosquitos-infested forest of western Singapore. As such, my pre-outfield syndrome starts to kick in, damping my morale to a new low, even though its the weekend. My cover officially starts on wednesday evening. I've experienced this kind of tormenting environments many times before in the past hence i will not wish to experience it for even one more time. Me fighting the boredom and the commando trained mosquitoes is a dreadful thing to do. Time seems to past very slowly during outfield and the mosquitoes seem to be a bigger enermy than any other human aggressors. In the morning, you battle the boredom, the weather, the heat waves, the houseflies....at night, you battle the mozzies in their fighter jets. Argh !!! And a few days later, your hair turns clay-ish, your nails stained with dirt, your face filled with grease....its horrible. Nonetheless, i will continue to encourage and motivate myself to survive through it. Winter signifies the arrival of spring. I can tell everyone, at least i am a MAN, i survive through these! At least i am honest and upright not to plan some crafty, scheming evil plots to dodge these outfields. At least i dont visit these place as often as the infantries, guards and commandos. At least i am only there to cover as a medic, and not to be physically involved in the manning of equipments. Or at least i am just consoleing myself. Weekend, its time to stock up my outfield comfort items, be it real physical relief or just psychological relief....insect repellents? books? tibits? Haiz....just want to tell my friends who have not been through NS that...if you think that your life as a student is tormenting enough, think of your friends hiding or camping in the forest (not Mas Selemat!!!), protecting SG. Oh well.

追追追
Today damn crazy at Kbox. Initially tot of going topone but they were fully booked. So me and my friends went to Suntec Kbox instead. The usual hits were out again by each and everyone of us. But never did they expect me to start off with a Hokkien song by Jiang Hui called 落雨声. This spurred them on to start singing song2 hokkien songs like 一支小雨伞 and 要拼才会赢 . As a resort to win everyone, i made my first and most probably only attempt on this extremely extremely SONG2 hokkien song 追追追 by 黄妃 . Argh...its total mayhem. Damn funny. Anyway, the 5 hrs kbox session ended with everyone becoming mute. Anyway, here is a youtube video on the song which i sang. Damn funny and song2. Enjoy!
