More National Service Photos

I know I said I would not blog anymore about national service. But pity the amount of photos that I have lying around, so I decided to upload it. While uploading it, I decided that I might as well continue with the final 11 national service diary entries.. but that'll have to wait till I'm back in Kedah. As for now, just enjoy the remaining photographs that I have to share.

This is how I blogged everynight back in National Service. The torchlight was my only source of light while the entire dorm is asleep. Sometimes Farah, who sleeps next to me would peer over and learn some English.

One of the fine days after a march rehearsal when we were taken for a field trip to Wetlands in Putrajaya.
l-r: me, josephine, tuan jaiz, yee ling, angel.

l-r: Naj, Me, Jan Sen

top l-r: Kim Seng, Ah Dong
bottom l-r: Angel, Me, Zaf, Man, Botak

Back in National Service, I wasn't worried if I got dirty. I don't know why.

The guy in the middle is our 'penghulu'. He is our leader.

Me and Sook Yee camwhoring around.

I think the guy on the left won the best national service trainee of Kem Templer. I read it in the papers awhile ago.

How a typical lunch was served. But this was much more fun! It was a picnic!

"Makan~!"

back l-r: Me, Loon, Wei Kiat
front l-r: Josephine, Yee Ling, Angel and Danial.

For the march, we had to make sure that our boots were fucking clean. Like sparkling.

Do you know that polishing boots encourages you to become compulsive obsessive?

After a march rehearsal in Putrajaya.

A nice shot of our trainers.

One of the last few nights of NS: At the burger stall.

Marching was tedious. At 3pm, we were all so damn tired.

Before I left, my company mates called the other trainees to come hang out at the burger stall.

Our residential cat, Kuching KN. KN stands for Khidmat Negara. It has a girlfriend somewhere. It used to paw at you if you did not give it your ikan keembung.

Cikgu Rahman and myself. He was the guy who could ensure that dicipline was top notch at our camp!

Farah and I. Damn, I really miss this girl the most. She was so innocent and so simple and we could click so well! We'd bitch together everynight before we fall asleep and we'd do night duty together and bitch somemore. She's one of the girls whom I'm still keeping in contact with.

l-r: Angel, Amy, Me, oh man I can't remember their names.

Nobody understood why the hell would I want to snap a photo of the many flags. Little did they know that I am a hardcore blogger.

"Satu hasrat, satu semangat, satu tekad!!" (One wish, one spirit, one determination!)

After the march, we hung around the monstrosities which were the huge ass Putrajaya government buildings and went trigger happy as it was my last day there.

Oh! By the way, this was my locker. :) Such fond memories.

The Charlie girls came over to "ta chiu fu"(beat banana ash - haha, kidding, it means come to say hello in cantonese).
l-r: Vinci, Me, Amanda, Suki

That'll be Siti! We were playing this game during Kenegaraan classes. It required their team members to be blind folded and they have to listen to their leader's instructions and make their way back to the classroom without falling into the drains. :)

Then we have obstacles called the Penghalangs. They would have to distract the team members and throw them off course.

The moral of the game is that "a country must be united and not let foreign powers distract and sway them away".

There is progress..!

Obviously girls only can touch girls, boys must go play elsewhere.

A typical scenario in Kenegaraan class....ZzZzzZz.

My Kenegaraan classmates. We don't follow our companies, we are reshuffled.

Thought I'd show you how a typical morning for us looks like. We have to gather at the assembly field before sunrise. These boys were late which is why they were running. Usually they would have to march in.

Our ever problematic Dobiman who wondered about my intentions for asking to have a photo with him. He thought I had other "intentions". Sheesh.

A handful of the chinese girls from camp who put together their snacks and gave it to me in a huge bag! You can see me holding that big bag of snacks. Until this day, I have yet to finish eating everything inside it. :)

The chinese boys from my company. They came to hang out with me last time before I left the next day.

Sook Yee and I all ready for the big march!

Angel and I in the dorm.

l-r: Cha Hui, Me, Hui Ying.

Ah Ling and I found some soldiers on Merdeka Day and got so excited and managed to take a photo with them. I asked them if they can pose with their guns, like hold it up, but they say cannot. HAiH.

More of my company mates.

All the girls in my camp.

All the boys in my camp.

The entire camp!

l-r: Pui Mun, Me, Yung Yung.

Anaathi's the one sitting on my right. I miss her. She and her thick indian accent which makes me laugh all the time.

back l-r: Aiz, Aliff, Man
front l-r: Danial, Me, Donut

Before I left, I was called on stage to give a goodbye speech and all that. I decided to ask the four companies to have a photo with me. This is a photo with the Bravo company.

Alpha company..!

Charlie company!

and of course, Delta!!!

Jan Sen and Naj told me that Alpha won the best company when National Service ended. Sigh. Wonder if I would've made a difference if I was there? Hahahaha.

Our very own entertainer Si Fu came up to sing some songs we learnt in camp as a goodbye present to me. I was taking photographs of the entire camp while he sang next to me. Haha. He could only sing the chorus and would mumble the rest.

Teha was pissed that I was leaving her. You can see how messy my space was. But I was sad and happy that I was leaving.

All in all it was a damn good experience. Just go if you ever have the chance to. If you can survive the Malaysian education system, National Service is no different lah.

Here're somemore photos from the previous post.

Night Out At Halo Cafe, The Curve

Hanging out with Dennis, Hsin, Josh and Jill at Halo Cafe, The Curve on Thursday night was good. As always, I get my tummy workouts when I am with them. Laughed like mad all the way. Poking fun at the way Dennis has grown hair, Joshua telling me about how Ben Shyen nearly drowned in Tioman with a lifejacket on(To quote them, "Eh! BS, don't go into the bathroom, later you drown." Wahahhahaha.), Hsin telling us about her boyfriend's naughty school days' stories and Jill and her burger jokes.(What burger moves? Bergerak lah! Hahahahah! -_-").

The songs in Halo Cafe were mostly chinese and so were the patrons. Which is why we felt safe whilst discussing political stuff.Wakakaka.

This is Joshua.

Dennis trying to pan cute. -_-".

l-r: me and jill!

l-r: Hsin and Josh

Hsin and I were like snapping away the whole night. So what else is new?

I like this pic! Very candid. Surelah, who take one?:D

Dennis allowed me to hang my pink camera/handphone pouch on his ear. He's too nice to me.

Grape Milk Shake. Pretty good. ... it had to be. It was a whopping RM11.90. But for the company and the ambiance.......a sacrifice is worth it. :)

The band was pretty good! Especially this guy who grins and whistles through his teeth. He could even do the Super Mario themesong!! Amazing!!!! I was laughing all the way because he was just smiling and whistling through his teeth. He then did a rendition of Doraemon's themesong. Hahahahahahaha.... never laughed so hard.

We decided to go grab a bite at a nearby McDonalds' since we would have to pay through our noses if we stuck with Halo Cafe any longer.

Cheers! We had a mission. We had to make a dick shaped ice-cream. But failed. I was trying to do the mushroom head thing with the vein. Barry once said it was possible.

Camera was on the table so just pressed the button. Can you see Ronald McDonald peeking from behind the avalanche of fries?:D

Joshua and his fries.

Met up with Chien the next day at Pizza Uno and had a two hour long conversation with her. It was necessary. The woman was in UK for three weeks but decided to come home. Was carried away to her life in UK with her vivid descriptions of the place and all. It would be nice to play a foreigner every now and then.

l-r: Chien and I.

I saw this book decor idea in Axxez(is that how you spell it?) and they decorated it with sparkly beads. Covered the entire notebook with beads. Very nice! So I decided to get some and spice up some notebooks of mine back in Kedah! I even bought cute pills containers to contain 'em.

*heart, heart*

When I went over to my grandparents' home to put some joss sticks(Chong heong), my dad and brother saw this lovely morning dew from a far defracting light with utmost beauty. It's like a diamond in the sunlight. Hahaha, okay, shoot me for sounding damn poetic. But it was damn nice. You can't look at it for long because the intensity of light was so high!

The Obligatory Photoblog

Obviously when I am back I have to do the things that I can never do in Kedah. Like yamcha-ing and shopping. Let's start off from Tuesday night! Met up with Justin, Daryl and Chung Lern at Tanjung for a drink and to gossip about the old secondary school mates. Hehe, gossips about old friends are always fun.

camp at By the way, would you believe that I met my Tuan Commandant from my NSTanjung?!! He was there yam-chaing with his family. His 8 year old daughter Farah recognised me and I went over to say hello. He told me that he will help me kau tim my exemption letter. YAY. If that does not happen, I will have to repeat national service in 5 years. It was weird to be sitting with boys in front of him hahaha, because back in camp, girls and boys CANNOT mix. Somemore out after 11pm! Wahahahahaha... and I can do anything I want in front of him.. hhaha, man! But he's a nice guy lah.

l-r: Daryl, Justin, Me, Chung Lern.

The following day marked the first day of Mel's freedom until February. She's no longer a first year uni student!! But we also went out to celebrate the arrival of my new camera. Hee. Many excuses to camwhore.

One in the car.

l-r: Esther, Mel and me.

Esther and her sis, Alicia came for a movie with us. Corpse Bride was..amusing. Nice laah:) Just cannot believe that the entire thing was made of plasticine. Or is it not? Or is Esther feeding me nonsense again?? My favourite character is the Corpse Bride!

l-r: Esther, Mel, Me, Liss.
Poor Liss had to lepak around for one and a half hour as she's already seen the movie.

A little bit of window shopping soon led on to something else. *sigh*. So much for being skint. Now I'm skint-er.

Oooh-er~! Saw this slinky black tube in FOS for RM23.90. Was sooo comfortable and it actually looked good. Was contemplating....contemplating...and contemplating..before I saw it in six other colours!!!

Tell me I made the right choice by choosing the sugar pink one. :) But so far I've gotten good reviews from everybody. Almost everyone wants one. So we're gonna get different colours and we'll all dance together. Just like a rainbow. Hahaha.

Since ~~we wanted to camwhore somemore~~ Liss wanted to get a present for her neighbour and we had time to kill, we went to Subang Parade.

I cannot tahan pointy toe Aladdin shoes. They give me blisters.

Camwhoring in the carpark of all places.
l-r: Liss, Mel and me.

Me and Spongebob!(helium balloon). I wanted to get it for Amanda because it was so big and cute and she loves Spongebob squarepants!! RM34.90 is just too much. Somemore it's not her birthday. Sorry manda, you just gotta make do with photos.

Comel kan?

Liss and I thought that the cards in the background was a nice backdrop so, yeah, camwhore again.

It's been ages since I've had a McTwist. Heck, it's been ages since I've been to McDonalds.

~~Yam Seng!~~ Sek shuet kou!

Mmm..Mmm...*slurp*

Mel pan cute. :

I remember there was once while having ice cream outside the McDee's in SS15 waiting for Barry's mum, he was telling me that one of his sister's friends could form a vagina and then a dick with the McD's ice cream. I wanted to see how true it was.

This is the best vagina that I could muster.

Supposed to be a dick(can see the two balls) but .... don't know how to make the long long thing.

And this is how Liss eats her ice cream.......weird child.

The highlight of the day was dinner at Asia Cafe with the gang. So many people ffked. .............*heartbroken*..............No guys ffk-ed though. Those who couldn't come were not in Malaysia. :)

Never tasted anything so good before!! Fried mushrooms. Mmmmmm. DeliciOUss. Thanks Kwo Kuang for the treat!!

On my way to the toilet, I saw my standard 1/2/3 classmate, Wayne Adam. My, my, how he's grown!

I love the variety in Asia Cafe. If you're desperate for tables, there're always tables near the Chau Tau Foo(Fermented Toufu) stall. Fuckin' smelly.

Min Dee and a satay.

l-r: Me, Mel and Mun Teng.

Me and Mel. My pan cute tactic is all wrong. Or is it because I am destined to never be able to have the ability to pan cute?

Suet who came with Barry for a break from her SPM preparation. When I was her age, at that time, I was looking at the books and crying at the same time. But she's a smart one. :)

Random shot.

A cool pic of me and Kay Hong while looking for tables.

l-r: Kwo Kuang, Chun Guan, Mun Teng and She Dee.

l-r: Amanda, Me, E-Guy, Yijin

These are my friends. They do the peace sign. Forgive them, can?
l-r: Kay Hong, Kwo Kuang, Chun Guan.

Too cute for words.
l-r: E-Guy, Yijin, Min Dee, Mel.

Wahahaha.. saw Slinky agaiN!!! Always bumping into him, and on EVERY occasion, sure must take photo with him. This will be our thing, ok, Slinky?

I didn't get a good pic of the lovebirds. But looking at Barry with glasses, I'm brought back to an era, circa late 90s, when he was a mere child who was the victim of the 11 year old stalker me.

Manda and me. She dived in and wanted to give me a full on pash(mouth open and all) AS A JOKE OF COURSE.(we'll get there one day, manda, one day.:D) But I think we shocked a bunch of guys at another table because they like jumped in their seats and started laughing.

Mun Teng with my cute ball-ball sequinned hair tie! So pretty for only Rm2.95!!!! The hair tie, I mean, not Mun Teng. Mun Teng's pretty too:D

Latest I heard, he's Mr. Inti. HEhehe.

DIY-ed french manicure?! And erm..er.. Our dear future MAS pilot, Han Yijin and our dear JPA Scholar, Lee Min Dee. So proud of these two! .. No, they're not together. Don't you just love Min Dee'sYijin's trademark raised-eyebrow?

Me and E-Guy! He's currently in Nottingham and the lucky ass has got a single room to himself on campus. Those of us who are living away from home knows how fortunate it is to get a single room. Not that I don't have one....heh, but that won't last long.

Trying to lick him as usual.

Manda wearing my pink ball ball hair tie as a ring. She says, "Paris Hitlon on steroids." Hehehe.

l-r: She Dee, Mun Teng, Myself and E-Guy.

On a different note, today's shopping trip with the family to Midvalley lasted SEVEN hours. And I didn't even know it was SEVEN hours!! I'm back to my trinklets-shopping style so I got a few cute things from Midvalley. Will photograph later.

What pissed me off most was when I was standing with my family, suddenly I felt someone tap my ass. Then a little indian boy of about 12 walked hurriedly past us and kept glancing back at me. I GLARED angrily at him and he kept turning back to look at me and then walking faster and then kept turning back. It went on for quite a while before I blurted out, "I think someone touched my ass!" Mahai, kookoochiao also not long enough yet want to touch my ass. But I could be wrong lah, which is why I didn't scream out at him in front of the other shoppers, "HOI BUDAK KECIK YOUR LANCIAO ALSO BELUM CUKUP UMUR YOU SO NAUGHTY ADI HAH!!"... but I calmed down fast enough lah.

Always look on the bright side of every situation. If my ass got tapped/molested, it shows that my ass has got potential. *nods wisely*

Hi, my name is Jolene and if there is a question in your head, this answer will definitely answer it: I was wrong and irrational. I was being a woman.

Jolene Lai, Jolene Lai,
Came to life in January and not July,
She is 19 years of age,
Can't wait to earn her own wage,
This dental student is home sick,
Will never be in Kedah for more than three weeks.

Subang Jaya is where she's from,
The only place she'll ever call home.
Has a boyfriend, a brother and a dog,
The things she says can give you a shock.

Especially for her father, who always gets a heart attack when he reads this blog.

Hey, rhymes!
