Olivier's Personal Hideout

Choosing to end your own life when it gets tough, is just pure stupidity. I know people will become angry when they choose to read this post. ( your english sux la, or whatsoever ).

IS IT REALLY OTHER PEOPLE FAULT?

Whenever an incident happened and starts to spread on facebook, people would always scold the parents for not caring their child more, which causes this incident to happen. Don't you find it stupid? How would they know about it when their children is good at hiding it? Most of the depressed kids or people are very good at hiding their true emotion. They would always fake a smile and tell people they are fine when they are not.

While we put that aside, the following message are for those depressed people.

Spend time in confiding in people

Do not be afraid of speaking up. Do not think that no one cares about you. Do not think that no one loves you. Do not think that this world would be better without you. Do think about the people that you have met, the friends that you make, your family and your relatives. For every one that you have come in contact, you have already entered their lives. The moment you choose to end your life, you are taking the knife and cutting them too... Hence whenever you facing a problem, please tell them. your closest friends, family or relative... It will help you a lot.

Look for something to do

Seriously, i mean anything. Play games, listen to music, taking a stroll, go for a run/swim or just sleep. Keeping yourself busy is actually distracting yourself from overthinking. SO YOU KNOW, PLAY SOME GAME OR WATCH SOME SHOWS.

Accept the fact that you are in depression stage

By accepting the fact that you need help, you can save yourself from overthinking too. The first stage of curing depression is to acknowledge it. Telling yourself, hey, i am not having a bad life, is just that my mind is making me think that way. Being self aware of your own status, can actually calm your mind down and be more aware of the situation around you which in terms helping yourself in fighting against those negative thoughts that you have.

I know how scary depression is, since i know someone who has it and tried to take his/her own life before... Remember this, There are always ups and downs in lives. There are no always downs in someone lives... There will be light at the end of the tunnel. Life is precious, some people who want to live but are unable to due to illness. While you are actually physically healthy, you must learn to treasure yourself. Stay alive for those people that are unable to. Stay happy on their behalf.

If you really do not have anyone to talk to, free feel to email me. Oliviercheah@gmail.com

i can be your friend.

After reading what Xiaxue has posted "The Big Gushcloud Exposé". It makes me wonder of all the Instagram "non-ad" posts that i have came across, are those really their personal opinions or the company asked them to write like that?

(For example of a non-ad post: Hey guys, i just gotten my cover from @xxxxxxx, you guys should really checked them out as their service is fantastic.......) Even though they did not specifically say that is an sponsored post, yet they still get paid for posting that. In other words, they masked the ads.

Firstly, You cannot blame the influencer/bloggers for doing what they are told to do.
Secondly, you cannot blame the company that the influencer/bloggers worked for too.

I believe the main culprits for all these problem are their clients, as they are likely to be the one requesting them to post.

As a consumer, I would want honest opinions from your buyers. If you hire someone to help you promote your products and said that is their own opinion, you are lying.

Correct me if i am wrong on this part: If you decide to approach one of the company to help you promote your products, there will always be some conditions. Most likely you will ask those bloggers or influencers to draft you a copy of what they are going to post, so that you can check on what they are saying about your product. How is this not lying to us? lol.

If you are someone that hires me to post something about your products, do you think i will write something nasty about it even though it is really bad? how is that their own opinion?

The main concern is not whether Gushcloud is the one at fault or Xiaxue is lying and trying to reap the benefit by hurting Gushcloud. The main concern is that as a consumer, i have lost my faith in whatever products that the bloggers or influencers have posted when they say this is not an advertisement, as they just want to share it because they personally find this xxxx product must buy! Which is actually not true.

What will happen to the marketing world in the future? i have no idea... #NoFaithinfutureMarketing

The day that i received my mindef letter, is the day i thought i would lose everything.

True enough, i did lose my freedom, work and my hair. As we all know that the first phrase of being an NSFs was saying goodbye to our pink IC and welcoming our green IC AKA 11B. Next was the thought of being confine for 3 weeks.

By the way i was in PTP(physical training phrase). It's for those who failed their ippt test.

Confinement wasn't the thing that i am worrying about; it's my platoon, my bunk mate. "How are they like? How should i interact with them?" Was all that i could think of at that point of time.

After saying goodbye to my friends and family. We were being bought back to our company line with our army stuff that was collected just before that. We fall in on the court and was asked to check the list, to see which platoon and bunk you belong to. At the same time, i spotted familiar faces. My secondary school friends and one that i met while we are filming for crimewatch. Let's just say that the fear of being alone in the unfamiliar place disappeared. When we were send back to the bunk, it's was then i saw all my bunk mate and my buddy. I guess everyone was busying packing their stuff, i was just sitting there and analyzing them. (Thats just my habit)

I cant remember how me and buddy started to talk, but we sort of say out our baseline. What are the do's and dont's. Until today, i think i couldn't find a better buddy than him. We were similar in someway, that it make us work well with each other. Especially during field camp, where people said that, true color will be revealed. I guess my true color was being a total noob, do not how to pitch a tent, candy wrap and etc. luckily he was patient with me and We make it out of the field camp with a smile. The next thing that i find it memorable was that we passed our last ippt together. Both of us were at the standing board jump, and when he finally cross the passing line, i crossed it too. Guess the motivation was not to lose to him. There are lots more story with him, but shall end the buddy story here.

Next was the rest of my bunk and platoon mate. Bunk mate consist awesome people too. I was shocked when me and the acting acting buddy were in the same bunk together. I guess my bunk mate mentality was to work with each other well no matter what. I dare say that during that time i bond was so strong that we own in games! Haha. Everyone was so enthu in winning, or losing but in a enjoyable way. Motivating and encouraging each other along the way. Playing sabotuer at night, talking and doing nonsense stuff with newspaper. Awesome bunk mate in my opinion.

I wasn't really close to all my platoon mates. Guess you all can say i do nt really like to socialize a lot. Obviously they will bound to ppl hating you or you hating some of them. Somehow along the way in bmt/ptp phrase, other platoon member do nt like me at all. Hahaha. Thanks to my intel that told me about it. All i can say here is, that wasn't me wanting to perform. I was just acting under someone orders.

Every platoon will have a officer, platoon

sergeant and 2 normal sergeant

My platoon sergeant was a pain in the ass, but thats their role. Even though i know that, but somehow i still detest him. Due to the fact that i always felt that he was picking on me. However, the reward that he gave us, was the motivation factor that we trained hard for ippt. (Vending machine) The two other sergeant have their moment of good and bad. Our officer wasn't there for most of the time due to some medical reason but i can see the effort he put in to know every single one of us and motivate us.

Army has a set of system, and commander abide them. Willingly or unwillingly, they have a role to play. Being as a recruit means you are very new/noob. From knowing nothing about command, till you passed out with the knowledge of handling your weapon and being physically and combat fit. This is what bmt phrase all about. They are to

Mold you from nothing to somewhat a solider, to prepare you in the future unit. It wasn't all fun that i experienced. The bitterness of losing your freedom, still suck. Not everyone inside are good to you, this is where you learnt to protect yourself from them. Luckily for me i had enough work experienced to let me see people well. Yes, i do agree that it took aways 2 years of our life totally and the next partial 10-15 years of our life. Let put it in a positive way that you are there to learn new skill, to meet new friends. I guess it make the journey less harder.

Good luck to those of my friend who are in bmt now! And those who are going in next year or soon :) have fun!
