Happy Lunar New (牛) Year.

Last year's CNY was bad. Had high fever. I love this festive season CNY as I know that lots of goodies and Bah Kwa awaiting me. Day 1 and 2 visited some relatives house, not as much as compared to few years back. Hong Bao amount should be quite standard too. Had a bit too much of the goodies, feeling quite dry in the throat. Perhaps I should be more discipline to water parade myself.

3 new colleague joining us next week, quite looking forward to work with them.

Cow year resolution? World peace, healthy, economy getting better, success in work and studies and also wealth.


Happy Birthday, Sis.

Time flies! it's 10th of Jan again. Exactly 365 days ago, I was enlisted. Took the ferry in the morning with my parents, waiting to take the pledge etc. After that, had lunch. Can still remember my first meal in Tekong was yam rice with chinese sausage. After that, bid goodbye at 1330h and started to fall in according to our school and company. We then proceed to our company line to collect our SAF duffle bag and other items. After checking of items, we were split into platoon and bunks. I was struggling to carry my extremely heavy duffle bag to level 4. I make my way to my bed and started trying on the sizes of all the issued items. It seems that everything is okay expect for the jockey cap and sport shoe. We then fall in to proceed to the store room to exchange the items. At around 4, we proceed for our hair cut at the training shed. It was fast, within a minute and it's done. After that, proceed back to company line, do all the administrative stuff and interview. Soon, dinner time and it's 2130h. We were told to make a phone call home. After making the call, we proceed to bunk for admin time and 2230h, lights off. First night in bunk can't seems to sleep, perhaps can't really adapt in a change of environment for a start.

11 more months to ORD. haiz...

It's the last day of the year 2008. Institute celebration at the camp's swimming pool. Had some water activities before lunch and book out after lunch. New year celebration this year will be at Wilson's place. We went to TPY to get the necessary items for the BBQ in the evening. We slack in his house while waiting evening to come. We started BBQing at 6pm, awaiting for the Taiwan countdown show at 7pm in Cable channel. After that, clearing up the place and watched TV in the living room while waiting for the new year to come. We then spend the night there.

Last year's one was great too, however, puke quite a lot and mess up the place. So, how's about next year? lol.

2008 seems to be a bad year, got lots of unhappy moments. New year resolution? Just to be better then 2008. ORD this year lor!!!

Course just ended, my first time taking a detachment. Not really satisfied with my performance.

All the best for the trainees in their new unit, kind of missing them when seeing the camp is rather empty. 2nd last day of their course something happened. He was hospitalised. However, he is fine now. I am feeling guilty.

Anyway, wish all a Happy New Year. Hopefully 2009 is a great year for me. Shall find time meet up old friends soon.
