Introducing, "Steady Gangz"…



This is my so called ‘Steady Gangz’… 5 buddies from the left, me, Eason a.k.a. Gou Lou, Ah Yang, Ah Chun a.k.a. 360 a.k.a. Shan Ju, and See Kiat… We are steady, don’t we? Haha… One of the most precious and momentous occasion in my NS life for this one and a half months, was being able to know this gang of friends… We chit chatted together, ate together, shower together, slept together, played together, watched the sky brightened by millions of stars together during night time, confided together at times, flirted with girls together (this is the time where we can’t see Ah Yang…), get punished together (err.. spasmodically? Haha…), stripped Ah Piau together, ponteng together, and many many more…

Okay, let me introduce to you one by one about how I approached them and get to be in the gang, be their buddy… For introduction, I need to reverse back to the moment I entered my dorm… As I just said, my dorm members seemed unfriendly, besides that, another reason why I wanted to leave the dorm so fast was because, there was no Chinese in the dorm… Perhaps there was one, lying at the far end corner there with a cap covering his face and he was sleeping, I guess… So, I thought he was some kind of weird people who don’t socialize with anyone, too afraid to disturb, I went down to the hall alone… After I went down again to the hall, met some friends from Selangor, Shazmiq, Max, Ching Kuan… and the list goes on… Actually I’ve known most of them even before reaching the camp… In the bus we had already known each other… After talking for a short period, the staff from the logistic started to make announcement, calling us to get our properties provided by the government from the logistic which located at the opposite of the hall… We have to go by order, from the first company to the last ones… So, I was in Charlie Company, which means the 3rd company, and that was why I got plenty of time to spend talking with friends before moving to the logistic…

In the logistic, we lined up and sat down to receive our properties… Coincidently, the weird Chinese guy that I mentioned just now sat beside me… So I kind of paid some attention on him… We didn’t talk until we finished receiving all our belongings… Headed to the dorm then, it was time to bath… I don’t want to bath alone neither I want to bath with strangers… So, I took a deep breath, boosted up my courage, and I went to the far end and talked to the so called ‘weird Chinese guy’…

Two of his friends were with him, Wen Ji and Ah Wai… So, I introduced myself, and here comes the first member of Steady Gangz… His name is See Kiat, but I prefer calling his chiniese name…



See Kiat, he is the first Chinese guy that I knew in the camp… Undeniably I was impressed by his brain power, he always can come out with many impeccable master plans or ideas… For a simple example, my hanger can only at most hang an underwear, but for him, a simple hanger, he could hang 4 underwears… Impressive! Another cool attitude of his is that he’s very brave, he dared to go flirt with girls just like nobody’s business, even when the facilitators are all around… I guess that is a good thing also right? Haha, besides that, he got plenty of jokes in his brain, we exchanged jokes together sometimes and he has always been my best source of funny jokes…

Now, let’s move on to the second steady guy… Still on the first day of my NS life, after we bathed together, we went down again to the hall for dinner… When we were lining up, I could feel that someone is observing us, so I looked around and I found this guy, with his hair dyed in light gold colour… I was like, wow, this guy is hot… He approached us, or maybe I went to him, couldn’t remember clearly… But, one thing is for sure, we had some conversation and that’s it, the second Steady Gangz member… Sieh Yong, or we usually call him Ah Yang…



Ah Yang, hmmm, for me I think, he’s the most handsome guy among 5 of us… He got a lot of knowledge, from A to Z, you can definitely just ask him anything… Besides handsome, he’s a funny person too, always make jokes that entertained us… Hmmm, I bet none of us can forget this: No, no, it’s not double S, it’s SPORTS ONE ONE ZERO S S YAMAHA (In our special tunes, tremendously funny ^^) Ermm, sorry to those that don’t understand… Ah Yang is also a very straight forward person, he scolded us when we did something wrong, not because of anything, just because he wants us to be a better person… I always salute him for being so caring to us, to his friends… Friendship is always the first on his priority list…

Nothing much for the first day after getting to know Ah Yang… Let’s move on to the second day: the day when trainees from Perak came… There were many Chinese came from Perak, especially from Ipoh… My dorm, which only has two Chinese fellers including me on the first day, increased to 7 Chinese guys on the second day… Yeah, all 5 of them came from Ipoh… Sam Tuck Chai, Ah Piau, Ah Meng, David and Eason… Yeah, Eason is our next buddy, my best
buddy…



Eason, his real name is Ngai Seng, but calling him Gou Lou is preferred owing to his height… He is a simple and happy-go-lucky guy… He is the one whom I talked most to, I just love talking to him, and he makes me feel better after talking to him… He always been the victim whom I confide my problems or secret with, cause he can always turns all intricate stuffs into simple things… We could just chit chatted on the bed even after the exhausting activities where everyone in the dorm was sleeping like decease… Besides that, he is very generous, always spent money to buy some junk food to share together with us… I feel bad when he does that, cause I can never pay back him by treating him and everyone as my wallet is always empty… Sad case…

Here comes the last guy that I want to introduce… First and foremost, I’ll start off with how I get to know him… I went back home for a whole week holidays after 4 days staying in the camp due to the interview that I had to attend… Holiday, of course it was nice, I enjoyed my whole one week although I need to go for trainings and interview… Too bad time flies without waiting, before I could blink, it was already the time for me to go back to the camp again… I appreciated the last two hours of car journey before reaching the camp… Well then when I’m back to the camp, of course, first thing, I went to search for my friends… I saw the agonized faces of Charlie members in the dining hall, they were all excited to see my return, but I detected one unfamiliar face, I thought, maybe this guy is in after I’m out for my holidays… So we introduced ourselves to each other… His name is Wen Chun, our next member…



Wen Chun or Ah Chun, talk about his name, he got many… Malays called him 360 (Tiga Enam Kosong), Indians called him San Ju (Babi Hutan), and we all, are free to call him any names… He can said to be the most interesting friend in the gang… Being an avid joker, his stupid jokes, inane movements, and his crazy remarks can just cheer us up to the max… At first before I knew him better, I thought he was a gangster, his look was rather turbulent, and stream of invectives can easily flow out from his mouth, maybe it was because of the environment of his, that’s why we can easily find dirty words from each of his sentences… Basically, he is a very nice guy, he’s helpful in many ways, for an example, getting whole packet of bread back to the dorm and get scolding from both canteen aunty and the Malays had always been his job… Thank you San Ju, I always wanted to say that…
