Hello... er... sory for not turninig up on MayDAy. Was down with a cought ad flu and fever. Haven't written in a long time, but today, I'm in a good mood, so decided to type something. Been feeling rahter depressed recetly cause of my scholarships (or the
lack of it). But just got an offer today and suddenly, this huge load was lifted off my shoulders. Felt so much lighter than I've felt for a long time. Phew!
I just want to ask you people, what do you all want to see in the next issue of "Twleve" (or whatever better name you people can come up with (no one has given me any ideas). I was thinking that I prob won't have enough material to sustain for very long i
I'm just going to write about our batch stuff. But do you people want other articles that are totally unrelated to us (like funny stuff -- I've got a few right now) or do you want a sort of "Outdoor Magazine' which has info on rock-climbing, Mount Evere
t expedition, mountain biking or whatnot? Or what? The first one had an article on BMT. HQ said he wouldn't mind writing about OCS. rihgt? But it seems like only the guys will have such shared experiences. The girls won't so what can awe write about us? H
nestly, I wold like to have something to keep us in touch, but I need a sort of direction. No point writing stuff that you people don't want to read, right? I mean, I guess even if HQ writes about OCS, it would prob include things that some of us would kn
w about cause we call each other, chat on the net or what ever. But how about those who don't? Some don't have internet access. These are the sort of people who I feel we shouldn't leave out. But would you people who keep very much in touch mind haveing s
uff that you already know about? I guess whatever it is, i won't be able to please everyone, but As many aas possible would be good. So LEMME KNOW !!!

Comments:
hi i just found out today that i'm to be axed by the next week. and i am feeling morose, yes it may seem strange after what i said initially, but now i've found i really like my students and after each lesson i feel incredibly happy. (for once i always no
the answers! sometimes the students are impressed till they remember i'm the teacher). Especially hard with a couple of remedial classes that i take where to be able to make a change really makes a difference to them, and now i've lost my chance. They ar
all straightforward, nice people, who appeal to me in some sort of way with their constant good humour. The relationship between the students and the teachers is different here, warmer, and very easygoing. Anyway....i'm glad i came.

hi again everyone
interesting, reading all this talk about job
satisfaction and all. ruth i can understand that
performing can be exhilirating, and i don't blame
u for detesting your clerical job; i can't
imagine myself holding that down!! heheh. in fact, i am relatively surprised at my own staying power for my jobs...at the restaurant and with the tutoring.
actually i'm getting a bit bored with giving lessons, and sometimes when it's slow at the restaurant i feel restless as well. so sometimes i think maybe i'm sticking around because i'm used to it, and also for the money. which IS a reality, coz there are
o many things to pay for day-to-day, from shopping to meals with friends and everything! but overall, at the end of the day i guess i do like this kind of life. work aside, when u try to create variety in ur life, then u have stuff to look forward to, and
that makes everything more fun. that's what i think, at least! i love having stuff lined up. then, when u need a *rest* from all the hustle and bustle, well, designate *rest time*!!;> oh well, hope everyone's fine, however they are going about each day! o
, pity about odacia's cancellation...about the east coast thingy, tho, have yet to confirm but *sob* there's a possibility i won't be able to make it!!! so...will get back 2u, but hope it's enjoyable, anyway.
in the meantime take care n God Bless.

Oh well... life's not so messy anymore. So maybe I should rephrase what I said in my previous entry. Not like the job? Perhaps certain aspects. I definitely like the dancing part and being on stage. But that's not all. We also have to mingle with the gues
s. Hey! I don't mean socialising! Well, what the client wanted was a tribal theme so we had to dress up and act like tribal people and create the atmosphere for them. I was not used to being someone else. I was also afraid of getting too close with the gu
sts. They were scared of us cos we looked fierce in our makeup but they didn't know I was scared of them too! So as you can see, this job is rather challenging. I will still stick to it 'cos I still like dancing. But I hate my clerical job. Yeah... There
a I know what you mean. Everything in my office sucks and my boss asked me when I'll be quitting. But I'll just hang around for the money. Don't think you need to quit a job just to do what you really want to do, such as bumming.... I'm still dancing, des
ite my job. So just hang in there.... you never know what you're in for!
theresa - 04/28/98 04:28:23
Comments:
argh i wrote an entry and it got wiped out.. anyway i was just thinking after what ruth said, that if u dont like ur job shd u quit or hang on and build character? (and i mean Don't Like: makes u miserable) i did that because i didnt want to seem a quitte
, esp to my manager. shd we "learn to like it" or shd we do something personally meaningful (bumming included), during these precious months, or weeks? though whatever that is may not be "useful" nor " productive". lynette tole me to quit, quit! if i did
't like my job. maybe ruth your case is different: in doing what u like doing u found some yuckiness and in this case Have had to learn to like it. oh no, i sound like a cliched newspaper article by sumiko tan. argh i'd better stop.
HEY, wait! did u guys see leroy's mail? details for friday al there! can u people make it?

yep and I have returned too. On the contrary I thought time flies quite quickly. Just like that, 3 weeks have passed. 13 more of 3 weeks and we are out of there.....so long. Regarding ODACia, well, I've already set it as one of the near events that I'm lo
king forward to, sort of like something to make me push on during training. So, I really hope we can have it, even the pseudo one will do. The impt thing is we have different batches there, including the current j1s, so that they can understand the senior
' attachment and relationship with odac. Then perhaps in the future ODACia will be a compulsory event of the year (let's hope). So, at least now for our batch, let's all try to make time for it ok? For those with boyboys and girlgirls, can spare just one
ay? Can spend the weekend after that with them all you want...=) Whatever lar, just try to be there lor.

hi if any of you are wondering why you haven't seen my lovely name here for so long it's cause my computer died on me (in the still of the night, yes) and i'm now at school (JI, where i'm teaching ) using the staff room's. Amazingly, I managed to reproduc
the entire conversations' address after a few bad tries. Haven't started any lessons yet. should be ok as long as i don't have to teach vectors (!!!). haha that'll be hilarious. arghh it's awful without my comp. can't look forward to this after work. (no
i can look forward to it DURing work! harahr). at least at this place i can eat when i'm hungry. i still work at chili's a couple of days a week, it seems to have grown on me. chunda do not despair. and for the tarzan thing i think we could all write abt

Getting into OCS may be pretigious, but of course for the pride u get there is a high price to pay. The stress level in there is quite high, at least for the first week. I suppose we will adjust to it in due time, but, sometimes it makes u wonder if u rea
ly want to be in there. And if u are, for wat? Dunno lar...all the rushing and stress warped my mind. But no matter wat, just do ur best in watever vocation u're in. Foreign pastures are always greener. I suppose I am just lucky enough to get into OCS, an
all I can do now is to endure the 42 weeks in there. Chunda, dun be too depressed lar. That day I was expecting SISPEC too, prob like you. Never mind, let's aim to be the bottom 10% and get posted to BMTC! hehheh..joking lar...do your best, maybe u'll jo

Dearest Everyone,
Gee, it sure feels lonely reading the conversations from way over here, I feel so far and removed and before I go on, well, I have to say don't forget me , okay ?Miss you people alot. Its really hard to find people who will run in the rain, stone all day
round here, especially in the world of (boring) accountants. Its unbearably stiff and unstimulating:p and unhappening, plus conversation revolves around income tax, which car to buy, getting married etc~bleah!~ Anyway I hope to quit soon to do some job at
this deli,sorta waitressing. Anyway, I'm just taking things day by day and hoping time passes really quickly. In short, I'm dying to get outta here.
Do u girls/guys know where u'll be going come sept? Me- looks more and more likely that I'll be going to LSE for a variety of reasons, the main one being that most of my Msian friends are there in UK. plus my brother is probably following soon.( if u noe
nyone going to London pls let me noe)I have not received replies from US yet but it looks unlikely that I will make the rational choice of going to the best uni that accepts me. Do u think big decisions should be made with your head or heart?
Anyway, I hope to go down to spore in June/July to, ahem, participate in the Great Singapore Sale and of couse, to see you people. So let me know when we are free-est okie?
Love u all, christina

t's better than mauling over the what ifs and if i had gone to blah blah.... accept it.... in everything we're put thru.. everywhere we're put... i believe tt if only we'll look hard enough... we'll find the rainbow beyond the dark clouds.... hope you all

hmm...
articles for tarzan and jane... act i tink "twelve" sounds so much better...
mebbe some inspirational quotes... or mebbe we could like have a roster... we take turns to write abt what we are doing now.... have learnt from life... act the army really teaches a lot...
and it's true.. us guys crap way too much abt army when we meet...kinda spoils the get-together sometimes... we really leave the girls out... dunno...beyond all the acronyms and terms we tok abt in army, there really are lessons learned...
i was just tinking like anyone of us guys can write some article abt exps in NS... tone down the army language perhaps... then we can all read in our own leisure... perhaps we might crap less when we all meet? can be anything... from ghost stories... to p
rserverance... u noe the stuff they write in reader's digest.. hee hee.. mebbe even funny incidents....
any comments?
anyway... songhai..wah lau..really lucky ...get to lobo for 10 weeks in flight expereience program...
mama...chunda...take heart okay.....
dun feel too down... army's 2 yrs... still got a great life after 2 yrs... even now also... it ain't tt bad if u tink abt how much better compared to the guys in OCS... they're supposed to be having their "hell week" soon....
well...advice is whatever vocation u're in...learn to find a way to make it worthwhile...even enjoyable... tt's how i survive my training too i guess... smile guys!!!

Alan sez,
Sispec ain't all that bad. Think of all the crap that the cadets have to go through. At least sispec warriors get to go out this weekend. And we might be considered sort of "2nd class" right now, but everyone says that people from sispec who cross over in
o ocs actually turn out to be better officers. Think about that. Crossing over after tri-service term cuts out a lot of torture. I still want to try my best in sispec. Whether or not I cross over, I would be happy to have done my best.

Don't complain. I am suffering in silence and awaiting confinement at this worn out building that overlooks your beloved country club. Actually, I had the notion that I was coming here but I never expected conditions to be so bad. FYI, the building my B C
Y occupies is 30+ yr old and was previously used by my beloved friends accross the street before they decided to move into the country club. Do you know how demoralising it is when I watched Jeremy and Weikai congratulating each other enthusiastically in
front of me and then the majority of my acquaintances disappear up another bus? In short, I do feel left out... partly for not being garang but also for not taking up a govt scholarship (Ain't people realistic?). Anyway, I have not decided on whether to f

ich is abt 6 wks) is full and I'll have to wait for another course, porbably early May or late April. As such I will be posted to a unit in the meantime while I wait to be called up for the course. But no uunit has claimed me yet( army efficiency), so for
the time being (next 2 or 3 days) I will be stoning in the sig. sch. 8-5 stoning. I get to go home too, until I'm claimed by the unit. Don't know how I manage to get myself into such a situation. Supposed to go SISPEC, but got rejected becos I failed my I
PT. It was only yesterday that I found out that I failed. Passed every station bt short of 1 point to pass.
Anyway, sorry for all this lamenting and complaining. HOpe all you guys do yorselves proud in OCS and SISPEC .

you DON"T want to get the newsletter, also leme know, cause I'm goingto collect monet soon (like maybe $5 or even $10 to cover the next few issues) and peopel who want must pay up OK! I'm not charging you all for the 1st issue cause I ddin't ask your cons
nt b4 I sent it.
Any suggestions for what to include in the next issue (which should be more meaty). lemme know. What KIND of things do you people want inside. Jokes and cutesy articles? Stuf on outdoors? What? MY plan was to get you people to gimme ideas on what to write
and I write the erticle, or in some cases, like this one -- if the subject matter is more relevant to someone else, than I'll get that whoever to write the article instead. FAir? Must tell me what you all want!!! Don't make me do something that you all ar
not interested in, OK??
