Samurai-hood
Best Soldier of the month awards
My Coy 2IC(a captain who was formerly a spec) came to my section 1 afternoon and asked me how long have i being in the unit. So i replied to him that i was in the unit for almost a month. He then asked me how would it be if he will nominate me for the best soldiers of the month award. I wasn't delighted or such, instead i felt abit of a mixed feeling, so this was my reply to him: " I was just doing my best and i dun think i have done any exceptional achievement for the coy" Then he quickly jumped in and said that he had not seen a disruptee having such a positive attitude like me as most of them were merely "tuaning" and sleeping thru the days before they ORD. He also added that he has being observing that i was hardworking and very on the ball with my turn-out and i think that my boots were the shiniest in the entire coy(in fact, in the whole Gedong camp.) I was flattered by that but i though to myself this:" a dim light shines the brightest when it's in the darkest" means i am good not becos i am really good, but those ard me really cannot make it. (by the way, nowadays NSFs really cant make it. These small boys will definately die a horrible death if they were to be in the army in my days, sometimes i felt disgraced by them as a NSF.) I also emphasized that i do really felt shitty!!! In fact very shitty, especially after leading a 4 years of civlian life before going back army. But I told him clearly that I was surviving becos i noe the fact that my Lord is with me. Just like a Samurai serving his Lord, i am serving my Lord up there. I cleared those shit becos my Lords want me to, i cleared the rubbish becos my Lord wants me to, i ran becos my Lord want me to and.....It's my Lord God that i served, and i served with pride!! So i dun really care whether i will get the award or not, it doesn't matter to me. All that it does matter is my Samurai-ship....all Honor and Glory will come from Him whom i served!!
Knock it down, u chao recruit!!!
I dun understand y pple just dun listen....and they will only listen when u knock them down, shagged them up and use all the F*** words before they can listen. Is it the culture of army? When i came back as a sergent in my company, i wanted to be really nice and treat my men really nice, befriend them and help them as much as i could. But there was this chao recruit who simply took me for granted. He was really trying to play punk with me and i gave him 3 chances before i really have to take action. He was late for Fall-in one morning and when i called him, he lied about where he is, so i got really pissed off, i knocked him down really good!!! Made him keep counting back to zero, did about a 100 push up, 50 odd sit ups, a series of jumping jet and made him kept to his push-up position and held it there for about an hour. And in that whole hour, i screwed him upside down. I yelled at him, sweared at him(with the F*** words sadly, no choice, if u dun use these words, they will think that u are joking with them),and shouted into his ears really good. I hated to do this....i am not the kind of person that will like to use rank on pple, becos i am also a NSF, i served and get out of army....but i have no choice but to do it....i explained to him tat i could have not bother about scolding him and just kept to pumping him, but i scolded him becos i treated him as a friend. In my hour long lecture, i explained to him wot's required as a basic discipline of a NSF. I added to him that as long as he is wearing green, he better honor his uniform, better honor his soldierhood.... This is wot a Samurai shd do.

We have compiled a total of a few songs now.
I was blind, I am Just a Man, I would if i could, Stop messing with me, Feng xian ji mou, and another untitled chinese song. But we are still in the process of recording I would if I could....the reason y we are taking so long, becos we are trying to be really meticulous about things. When it dun sounds rite to us, it will not sounds rite to the mass audiences. Therefore we are going into minute details of chords changes, guitar patches, drum loops(whether a hat will sound nice here or .....)lyrics and .....We really wanted to do something really good and marketable. Another reason y we are taking so long maybe becos this is our 1st song into arrangement phase....so we kind of still experimentaling things ard. I am glad that i am working with a grp of dedicated brothers who are bringing to the plates their own specialised gifting. So cool!!!
STIR
As for Stir, we are taking a break at the moments as we are individually buzy with things. So for all ye Stir's fans, pls be patience ok, and carry on to pray for us, remembering us and of cos, remember our songs ok......
Dat's all folks!!!
