12 and a half weeks has finally come to an end. Upon receiving the posting at the last day of SISPEC, lots of question came upon my head, as I had no idea what artillery is about. Day one, was meeting up with Melvin and Jonathan. Jonathan is late, so Melvin and I were waiting at the guardroom. We were one of the earliest there, as we saw a lot of stranger CPL carrying duffer bags and field pack in. Monkey-see-monkey-do, more and more people were standing beside us, don't waiting for what. Finally, one of the sgt asked us to proceed to the AI lobby. We get out camppass with a big 'TR' (which represents trainee). I tease Melvin with it as his initial is also 'TR'. We were then guide by one of the sgt (should be sgt YY) to level 6, where our bunk is. He then read out the list of names by bunk and bed level.

Being in bunk 5, I know nobody there. The first guy who interact with me was Kah Huei. There were only 7 person at that bunk, and I was sitting on bed 7. We rest a while before unpacking. Later, Kah huei n I realise we got the bed number mixed up, so we decided to shift the whole campboard instead of shifting all the stuff in the cupboard.

At 10 plus, we proceed to the lecture room. Here comes another guy who entered into the room with his duffer bag and field pack. I regconise him as he was one of my coy mate in SISPEC. He then explained the reason for being late. He was later allocated to my bunk.

As time goes by, my interaction with my bunkmate is increasing, where the bond is forming. Soon, it's the platoon bonding and even with towed course people.

At week 6, SAF commitment day start. Being the security personnel, we enforce the security.

"So what is your purpose here?"

"My purpose here is to deny any unauthorize personnel from entering the parade square within my sector of responsibility"

"Where is your sector of responsibility?"

"Allow me to orientate you to my map, on the left is the road leading to carpark C, followed by block 19 building where the swimming pool is, and on the right will be the warriors' hall. My sector of responsibility is the left side of the road leading to carpark C, to the right side of the road where the black signboard is, leading to carpark I."

My partner, Wen Bin, the sgt in charge and I makes up area Zulu. We started talking cock during rest time. However, our job really sucks when the actually day comes.

SAF day parade 08 security pass


After SAF day, towed side had their 2 weeks of 'xiong' period and soon POP. When they POP, we still have around 3 to 4 weeks left, and that's when our intensive training comes.

Training -> SumEx -> live firing->POP.

We had our POP yesterday. A simple award ceremony is held in one of the lecture room, with the presentation of some awards and certificates and presentation of rank. Congrats Guo Hong, Melvin and Ping Jim. We wear our velcro rank to lunch at the cookhouse, which is out last meal together as a course. Soon, area inspection and we bid goodbye. All the best people, meet up soon and keep in touch! =)


100108 - 110308 Recruit
110308 - 170508 Private
170508 - 130808 Corporal
130808 - ORD 3SG

There are so much things to let it out, I just feel like letting it all out, however, whenever I wanted to do so, something just suppress me from doing it.

When he ask me if I am happy with it, I just could not give him a definite answer. There's just too much of the mixed feelings. I seriously think life sucks.

The last phase of the course, live firing, has finally come to an end. Woke up at 2 plus in the morning and shoot all the way to 1 plus the next day, which is around 23 hrs. 080808 is not a good day for me. I feel kind of depress.

Today is national day. Singapore celebrate 43rd birthday this year. Slight rain just now, luckily it doesn't affect the show.

Last week to 3sg.

4 days to POP.

The hotate cream udon with cheese from Waraku . (just look at the size of the freaking bowl!!)

Kai Yong's 21st birthday celebration on his chalet




Hoohoo!!! Summary Exercise is over, meaning it's near to the end of the course.
This week:
Monday --> Remaining Lecture(s) to be covered
Tuesday --> MD test
Wednesday to Friday --> Summary Exercise!!! Quite tiring because not much of sleep, but however, not as bad as I thought. I think I make a lot of mistakes, but I think I got learn from it more or less.

Bunk 5 lunch gathering yesterday at Marina Square's Waraku Japanese Restaurant. 1st timer there, so took quite a while to decide what to eat. Finally, decide to try the hotate cream udon with cheese. Tasted not too bad, but a bit expensive. Just no idea why would they want to use such a huge basin-size bowl for serving. After eating, we just roam around marina square and sentec area. Saw some familiar faces at suntec. (around 6 of them!)

Watched "Money no enough 2" just now. Before watching, saw some negative comment of this movie from the newspaper. After watching, I don't think it's as bad as they claim to be. As usual, Jack's movie has got a silmilar chacteristic. Almost all of his movies plays on audience's feelings. His movie are usually touching, educational and funny. Touching will usually base on the kinship between family. The show also voice out what problems do typical singaporeans' faced. Therefore I was kind of supportive of his movie all these while. He really know what singaporean wants to watch. For this, it is worth watching. =)

21 hours to book in.
10 days to POP.

For the next coming 2 weeks, will be the most xiong week. Please don't rain AT ALL for this coming wed to fri.

Things that are yet to be done by this week:
1) Watch 'Dark Knight' (hopefully next weekend)
2) Buy essential things for field camp
3) Master all the knowledge needed for summary exercise. (Very impt!)

Wanted to pass out as Sgt soon.
Wanted to stay on at khatib camp even more.

14 days to National Day 2008.
20 hours to book in. (book out timing really very limited!)

Having read about the news of the famous monk who had appeared on TV before on the annual charity show. He was being charge for doctoring the account and other reasons. Didn't expect this will happen again after the NKF case, was really kind of disappointed with the system. After NKF case, it shows a fall in the number of people in donating money already, how about after Ren Ci's case? Hope that after all these cases, it will not affect people from donating money, as we know that there are still needy people out there who still need our help to support them.

"sHiNe fOr sInGaPoRe"
Hear it a few more times and you will love it. Looking forward to national day again, even though from now till 080808 will be a damn busy period. Prefer Joi Chua's version (Chinese Version), for I feel that she sings better.

12 days to "Money no enough 2"
21 days to NDP 08!
25 days more to POP!!

4 more hours to book in!! ARGH...

Day by day passes and today is the end of week 9 as trainee in Khatib Camp. Towed side just finish their field camp, POP-ing in few days' time. For my side, 3 weeks left to POP.

This week learn more practical things, so far so good as it's kind of fun. Confident is gaining, hope this can maintain. Fail FD test, still got chance?

Have been going to the library these few weeks, borrowed some books which captures my attention. I guess I am more or less being influence by the people there. Reading books now is really a form of entertainment for me, when there isn't any MP3s allowed and TV as entertainment.

This week is a tiring week, however, more to come! Endure for 3 more weeks!

This week lectures again. Learn about the vehicle, parts etc etc. Next week starting of the 'xiong' phrase. Test again on Monday, let me score well.

'Towed' side this week tough already, gonna be our turn soon.

Watched "It's A Boy Girl Thing" on Wednesday. It's really OMG!~ Samaire Armstrong is really beautiful!! I really enjoy the show, though the story is quite expected.

Listen to this year's NDP song, hmm..not too bad la, think listen a few more times will start to like it. Looking forward to national day, after that, POP!!

Life hasn't been good these period. I hate the way it is. I just don't feel good. Feeling depress as time goes by. I am low morale test after test. Why is it that there are such bastards in this world? Good soul always die earlier than baddies. How true? I have been trying and trying, but to no avail. Am I not trying hard enough or is it my problem? I understand that winners don't quit, quitters don't win, but the process of losing is really bad.

Being I/C for this week, overall was alright, however, some small mistakes. Because of that, I can actually feel the depression coming. I just can't take it easy. I just feeling very tired right now...

This week involved in the SAF commitment day. Some of the days we went to SAFTI for our duty. Saw Vincent there as one of the marching contingent. Next week will still be the same thing. Test on this coming Monday, hope to pass with flying colors. Another batch of BMT has just come to an end, congrats to those who are able to go to their desired posting. It has been quite some time since I saw my sgt in BMT, kind of miss them and wondering how's life for them. Do they still remember us?

Coming to July soon, more tougher days are coming. Eventually, hear only 2 to 3 out of 40 plus of us will stay back and become instructors, whereas others will be posted to unit. Hear life as an instructor is good, chances are slim, but will still hope to be one =D.

Have been missing rowing nowadays, perhaps race period is near. Sometimes will miss those good times.

Cleared my SOC, had made improvement, but still striving for better result next time.

In this camp, saw quite a number of people like primary , secondary and polytechnic friends. Quite unexpected to see them. Most of them actually are in OCS now. Sometimes will tend to envy them. You can actually see the different between an officer and a sgt. Both earn what they have, via different route and process. If I could turn back time, I would have definitely work harder towards what I want in every aspect of life.

Changed the blogskin, seems to be more comfortable with the color. Go Green!

C079 ex-classmates at Michelle's birthday chalet

Azfar and Wei Jie

Wei Jie and Shi Han


Attended this year's ceremony on 23rd May 2008. Apply 'off pass' to attend, luckily manage to do so. This year graduands of C079 include Azfar, Lai Hong, Yi Hui, Vivian and me. As for Jia Fuu, hmm..dunno when he wants to graduate.

Anyway, posted to new place. Shall be there for 13 weeks, should be ending at 13th Aug.

24th May, Michelle 21st birthday. Went for her birthday chalet with the rest of the ex-classmates such as azfar, kai yong, me, vivian, jasmine, amelia, hui xin, eugenia and lastly ji wu.
Went to e!hub after booking out on friday, we watch "missing" and bowl. Have not been bowling for some time already. Quite suck at it now.

Tomorrow will be week 5, so far nothing xiong, just that a lot of calculation part, which is damn stress. Test this thursday, hope can pass.

OCS had their commission parade yesterday, wish them all the best

June race soon, all the best for the team.

Last week marks the end of the 47th BSLC with the 28km route march. I was feeling tiring after the 1st break, where we were continuing the 7km part. My leg muscle were feeling ache. Subsequently, the journey was getting tougher. I can remember there was one part which I couldn't walk straight, having my eyes struggling to open. Fatigue + route march done at night, it was really a very tiring process. 7 hours later, all the companies reached back the FUP to stand by for the POP. Everyone was tired. The parade ended with our PC putting on our Velcro rank. We then head for breakfast and area cleaning for the last time.

Posting were out. All were scattered around the whole SAF again with various number of vocations.

What Wong Wei Jie Means

You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts. You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it. You have the power to rule the world. Let's hope you're a benevolent dictator! You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Soon, it's the 4th month of the year. I spend the 4th of april this year in camp, as the next day I was doing my duty. Didn't really celebrate this year as I was really busy that week, leaving the free time to sleep at home. Life now very standard, everyday seems to be the same, wake up, training, sleep. The course is ending in 3 weeks time, meaning this 1 or 2 weeks will be tiring and boring. Well, suck it up!~ That's what we have to do when doing something we don't enjoy doing.

Also Happy Birthday to all those April babies.

Test and test and more test! So as long I can pass all, or maybe better than borderline pass, I am contented with it already. SOC, good timing please!

3 more weeks to the end of this course, please allow time pass faster!

We actually met each other in BMTC. My primary school classmate, which happens to be one of my coy's PL SGT.

Wei Jie and Wei Xiang, the famous 3401.

Some of the CSMs in Pegasus Platoon 3... CSM = Company Shortest Man



Posted to new unit, got to 're-know' new people there. Travelling from east to west sucks. Platoon 3 people were split all over. Still get to see most of them there, just that in different company. As for my Coy, only 3 are from Platoon 3 last time. Overall, my section-mate people are alright.

Derrick were telling me about John Titor, a time traveller. It says that he come from the year 2036, and blog his prediction on the future. Somehow, it came true though his description were vague. Shall read up more about him as it seems interesting. 7 weeks more...

Roti John (The history)
The foreigners would always ask him to fry up an onion omelette, which they would eat with a side order of bread. They ate so much of it, and so often, that Mr Shukor decided to create a ‘two-in-one’ dish for them. He added the bread as the eggs were cooking, and the result was a delicious omelette-topped slab of French bread, which he served with a special sweet-chilli sauce.

It went down well with the foreign clientele, and the locals and Mr Shukor needed a name for it. Since it had been created for the foreigners, it was named after them too. “In those days, we addressed all ang mohs as John! John! So my father named this dish Roti John.” explained Madam Norhayati, daughter of Mr Shukor who created roti John in the 1970s. And the rest, as they say, is history.

One of the all-time favorite food in Pegasus company. Ever since tasting the Roti John from the canteen in Tekong, I love it ever since.

Had my posting today, was kind of expected, so not much of surprise. People whom I expected to go OCS go, and there is also some unexpected cases. PTI, really hope to be able to make it and be a PTI, though chances are slim. Reporting on Monday morning, think gonna see most of them again.

Went to Giant Tampines just now, saw a man after paying his items, took lots of plastic bags and stuff them into his bag of grocery items. He look like an well-educated adult, wearing polo tee tucking in, looks like a successful man. But what he did really piss me off. How I wish I can take a picture of him and upload it to STOMP.

Happy Birthday Ze Feng, and belated birthday to Jasmine.

Last Sunday was a tiring day. We had our POP rehearsal since 8 plus in the morning, break for an hour, then resume back all the way till 5 plus. Drill squad was worst. We continue practicing for the performance all the way till 9pm. This time, music is added. We will have to choose a song, try out the counting at which part of the song etc. We were lucky enough to pick a song which is quite suitable, given the time we have. We proceed to try out while counting with the beat. Again, I think we are lucky to manage to have the overall rough idea within 2 to 3 hours.

In totally, only around 2 days of training with music. However, everything work seems quite well. I find that doing fancy drills with music is definitely much more enjoyable. That's the reason why others may think regard that music is part of their life. Imagine the whole world without any sound, how the world will become?

Platoon 3 soccer session at TP on Friday. The response was quite good. Around 14 came, given the fact that most of them live in the west, and compared to the first soccer session at NP(which I didn't attend), only 7 turned up. After that, went to princess to watch "Rule #1" with some of them. Overall the scary movie is quite alright, starring one of the 7 princess Fiona Xie. However, didn't really manage to catch the last part(last 5 mins) what it means.
*Those who watch already and get what it means please explain to me, thanks.

Went back alumni training today after 9 weeks of absence, feeling is a bit different.

My break is half way through already, sucks~

It's been a long time since I update this blog of mine. Every book out day is very precious, time is very limited, especially when you are booking out on Saturday afternoon, that leave with only around 30 hours of free time.

11 th march 2008, my POP day in Pulau Tekong after 9 weeks of BMT. Well, thinking back what I've done in this 9 weeks is really memorable. having the first 2 weeks as confinement week aka adjustment week. Time pass quite slowly in the first 2 weeks. Lots of laundry have to be wash and lots to settle. Then comes to the field camp, 6 days, I was having a sulking face almost everyday because it's boring. It was then we realised that the bunk is really a very comfortable place to stay in.

Having joined the Drill Squad, I was kind of excited initially, because we are representing our company to take part in the competition on week 8. Since the early stage on my BMT, selection was done based on our drills, I was quite elated to be 1 of the 30 recruits(main team) representing the coy. Training had also started soon after selection. Training really takes up a lot of our free time, which is when I started to complain and regret for this decision. Whenever someone says "Drill squad, fall in!", my section-mate will always know I don't like it.

Time passes and it's coming to the few days before the competition. Fancy drill is really interesting and fun, but no doubt it is also not easy to master them well. I was still blur with some of the drills by then, where stress and fatigue further makes me wanting to quit. Some of the sirs and commanders can also tell that I am one of those that always make mistake in the movement. Finally, I went to my Sgt in charge of the drill squad and told him that if he think I cannot make it, please don't hesitate to replace me with the reserve. He told me that he will observe and see how is it.

Here comes the actual day. After watching some of the other coy's performance, more stress is there. We form up at the parade square, upon hearing the command from our commander, we know we had to really focus 100% for that 10 to 15 minutes.

Everything is over, we know we had some mistakes here and there. I didn't really expect a lot so as long we are not last. Our CSM came to ask and say mostly likely a 2nd or 3rd in position out of 7 coys. I was happy and sad. "Really no chance of getting first?", I asked the guy beside me. We just went back to rest and await for the result.

"Drill squad heads out!"
Sgt announced the result to the whole of Pegasus. He pointed out only his index finger. I couldn't believe it! We actually get 1st! We are the champions! Laugher and cheering bring up the happy atmosphere.

Practice and practice till the day of POP. We will have to performance with music this time. Fortunately, we are able to find a right song to suit the fancy drills at such a short period of time. I think everything goes well with music, showing the importance of music in our life.

After POP, photo taking session among platoon 3. After this, we are all going to out own paths. Will definitely miss them, the commanders and the place, the bunks, the cook house, the parade square and the surrounding. Till we meet again.

Hopefully can post up some pictures soon.

Eve of CNY not feeling well, followed by few days of feverish temperature till I book in back, chiong the SIT test. Thankfully everything went on smoothly, though feeling quite tired. But didn't get to really enjoy CNY, no CNY goodies, no soft drinks, didn't visit a lot of relatives(which means lesser hong bao income).

This week was a tiring week. Went field camp, overall quite okay, but i don't like it. Luckily didn't rain.

Book out on Friday night with civilian clothes for the first time, feeling is good. Went chill with friends immediately.

Went watch "CJ7" just now, finally get to watch it, the show not too bad. Now looking forward to watch "Ah Long Pte Ltd", hopefully can watch it next week. Meet Wilson for dinner at Wood restaurant at Vivocity, where Terence is working. Ate claypot rice and shared a bottle of 1L ice water. It is known as FIJI water. The label states that FIJI water is from don't know from isolated island, cost $10 per bottle.It taste like the same as the normal ice water. Claypot rice is another killer, first time eating a 28 bucks claypot rice!

17 days more to POP. Looking forward to this 2 and a half weeks, faster clear all things and prepare for POP.

Command school or not?

Enlisted for nearly 1 month already, initially was a bit not use to it i guess. First 2 weeks confinement, everyone was like counting down everyday since around day 2 or day 3? 16 days confinement instead of others who only have 14 to 15 days, though is 1 day different, but then to us, 1 day is a lot. Book out usually have around 20 to 30 plus hours, so every minutes and seconds seems very precious.

Happy Chinese New Year to all chinese. May all have a prosperous year at the year of rat. For me, was having high fever at CNY eve, as high as 40 degree celsius. I was wondering if it's a good thing to fall sick at this time.

They always ask which unit we want to go, i have no idea yet. Now is almost have way through to POP. Just hope every thing goes on smoothly.

New year celebration at bochun's house. Puke a lot. lol.

New year resolution? World peace, good health, everybody's fine, more money, better prospect and everything goes smoothly.

Enlisted tomorrow morning, hope everything goes on smoothly.

70 cents today.

4 more days to year 2008!

Festive season sucks without cash.

Last Friday 20 cents, yesterday 10 cent. This month is like a month of money-picking month. Let's see if I can accumulate a dollar by the end of December.

Life is still the same, not been training these period of time. Just not motivated enough.

Some people are ambitious, so they aim for something and work hard to achieve it. So does working hard means that you will definitely achieve what you want?

Happy Birthday Irvin and Bo Han.

Thanks to Winsor's blog for this melody.


Title of the piano piece:
Back Home

Another 20 cents today.

So where is the hardest wall in the whole wide world that I can go bang my head against it?

Apple Strudel


That day was complaining that I was broke, I managed to pick up 10 cents on the bus stop. Yesterday was 20 cents on the bus!! hahaha... so what's next? lol.

I was craving for apple strudel for damn long. The last time I had it was year 2003. That time my secondary school had moved to a new location, then 2 bus stops away there is this Renaldo's Apple Strudel shop. That was my first time tasting apple strudel. Great taste! Eat it with the crumps all over the table.haha!

4 years later, which was yesterday, I finally had another try of apple strudel. It was Ritz's Apple Strudel this time at Bugis. Of course I can't say which is better, the taste I had 4 years ago cannot remember already. Apple strudel is really nice. Other flavour such as durian, mango strawberry also available. Interested parties can jio me for apple strudel someday!! lol..

"Yes, yes y'all
we don't stop
Get creative, can do, rock on!

Yes, yes y'all
we don't stop
Get connected worldwide, rock on!"

Some negative comment regarding this MDA rap.Well, I think that it is a good one. They are really cool people and daring. Those are the senior management people, yet they are still willing to shoot this rap, I think that they deserve a round of applause already. Just imagine that you are now the senior management, are you willing to rap it? Do you even dare to do it? Rap is another language to connect to more people out there. I think it is working quite well.

They rocks~~~

historical landmark?

My first interaction with my washing machine...

First time washing my clothes using the washing machine. It seems 'new' to me through it has been there for few years already. 2 baskets of clothes are waiting for me to wash them, firstly put water, secondly, put detergent, lastly press here and there and let it wash by itself. hahaha... Well, washing clothes is not as hard as I thought. After washing, I do have a sense of satisfaction =D

Next, should be learning to cook.lol.

Rainy session now, no sun, no white cloud. Rain too much also sian. Just bring back some sunny days can?

Finally receive my enlistment notice stating where I will be going. Well, 1 month plus more to go. No mood to train up. Recently have been kind of broke, god is kind la, I manage to pick up 10 cent today.

2nd driving practical lesson, get to make the car move. Driving is fun.

Hong Yi told me the picture is a historical landmark, which has got to do with WW2, hmm...to me is just another old house, maybe by going in will have a better concept and image of the house.

Jia Fuu: Got girlfriend now?
Wei Jie: No
Jia Fuu: Why don't get one? TP so many...

To get a girlfriend got so easy de ah? lol!!!

Happy December!~~~

Now is 1st Dec 2007, 0045h. If you ask me where was I at the 1st second when the clock strike 12 at this brand new month, I just gonna say I was at the escalator coming down from Tanah Merah MRT station, counting down with Hui Kiat and Hui San.

So where were you at 0000h on 1st Dec 2007?

5 national dragonboaters who went to race in Cambodia and died there. I believe Singaporeans have been watching out for this news closely these few days. It also hit the headlines on the newspaper.

Seriously, it saddens me. Though I am not close with anyone of them, but somehow i just can't help feeling sad. Seeing familiar faces in kallang or race site, and now they are gone just like that. Seeing the newspaper reporting on the news these few days, showing their pictures on the newspaper, i just don't know what is the word to describe the feeling. It is really an unexpected incident. People just gone like that. I believe all of the dragonboaters out there may also feel sad. They are so near to the pontoon already, yet so far.

Life is unexpected. People whom you see most of the time may just gone like that. Cherish them well before it's too late.

Rest in peace, the 5 national rowers.

Final Theory Result

Shi Han and Aloy told me not to check your answers after you have attempt the questions on Final Theory Test, because usually the 1st answer that you give should be the more accurate one. Therefore, i heed their advice this time and try to do it just one time without checking again. I had completed all the 50 questions within 15 to 20 minutes, but I just heck care and press the 'End Test' button. The result came out. "Pass." I was happy but not to the extreme type, compared to the 1st attempt if I had pass, I would be even more happy. Just don't know why, perhaps I was tired at that moment. Well, starting practical lesson soon. Wish me good luck =)

Result of Singapore River Regatta 2007 Grand Final

Result of the Singapore River Regatta 2007, Grand Final. Hope that TPDB can achieve something next year.

Happy Deepavali...

This reminds me of a secondary school friend. Her name is Deepali. When ask why or how she got the name, if not wrong, she say she was born 1 day before Deepavali. If I was born 1 day before Hari Raya or Chinese New Year, what will be the best name to be called?

TPDB team A 2007

Like what I said earlier on, life is unexpected.

Unexpected situation started 3 days before regatta, when I was transferred from boat B to boat A, because one of them is sick. Training for this race is quite alright, especially the last week before race. I think it goes the same for most of the team. Using lighter boat this year, so different experience.

Day one of race is the heats of opens and tertiary category. We started our day with the opens heats, and both of our teams managed to get into semi-finals. However, tertiary didn't manage to get in to finals.

Day two of race, team A's semi heats was a very tough one. Nevertheless, we managed to get into the grand finals. Long hours of waiting for the last event, it's the most important race, event 60, the grand final. I believe this event is the most exciting one. Lane 1 NP, Lane 2 RP, Lane 3 NUS, Lane 4 TP, Lane 5 NP alumni, 5 boats were getting ready for this important moment. Slowly, all boats were getting in lane, coxswain holding the rope and rowers staying focus. Drummer were trying to get the boat into the starting line, it was a moment of silence by then. "Are you ready?", shouted the official with his loud hailer. "Attention..", paddles were already up to paddle as hard as possible for the first stroke, heart rate was pounding faster then usual. *air horn*. Race has started, all the boats were trying their best to row and surge the boat as fast as possible to reach for the ending point. The boat pass by one point to another, our mind still focusing what we need to do. Everything was fine and steady, and now towards the ending point, a last charge was given, we row with all our strength, no reserve. The boat cross the ending point, with 4 other boats also crossing the point almost at the same time. It was a close fight. We went back to the pontoon and get back to the shore while waiting anxiously for the results to be announced. Result shows that TP gets 4th. Ya, we didn't win any medal. However, this was one of the best set we row. We have no regrets already. Most of them agree that it was one of out best set, so though it's just within milliseconds away from the medal, we were still feel a sense of achievement at that moment, as getting into grand final in opens category is one of our objective being met. We are not there yet. I believe TP will continue to soar even greater heights in future, same goes with the girls team. We did it before, we know we can do it again.

TP ARE YOU READY?

I had a dream few days ago. How I wish it was a real thing happening to me. When I woke up, I think I still had the smile on my face. But when come to reality, it's not real after all. Well, at least I am happy for that moment. Will dream ever comes true?

Victory dinner at techno? OMG!!! no way man..no matter how much chances are there, still gonna try...try and try..

Fail my FTT at my 1st attempt, i thought I was ready lor....but..haiz..next FTT on 15/11/07, I freaking gonna pass this time.

Next week O level English and Regatta. Lai ahz!!

I am officially graduate from polytechnic on 21st oct 2007. So what's my status now?
Occupation:??

300 seems to be a sensitive number on this day, 21/10.

Happy birthday to Aloysius, Audrey Amelia, Hong Yi, Ying Haw.

Seeing friends, secondary school friends driving, suddenly feel that they have grown up a lot. Perhaps the 'seh' is in them, makes them look very adult. I have been dragging it, now then want to start to chiong. FTT next week, hope to pass it for the 1st attempt so that I can really chiong it before going NS.

After training, went to buy 2 birthday presents for Connie and Siew Hoon respectively. After which, meet up Terence and headed to Pasir Ris costa sand chalet. We went to Siew Hoon's first at about 6.45pm to put down my belongings, awhile later, went to Connie's chalet which is few blocks away. We headed back to the first chalet again, and this time, more people such as Chu Li, Bing Wen arrived. We enjoyed the food and talk about what we have been doing recently. This kind of bring me back to our secondary school memories, when we all first met in Secondary one. Most of us were classmates during Secondary one. Reminiscing what we did last time, it's indeed memorable. Yet today, I am attending 2 of my schoolmates' 21st birthday celebration.

At 8pm, Wilson have reached Connie's chalet. Terence and I thus went over. I had my second round of food there. While waiting for cutting of cakes(which both are cutting at 9pm), we chatted to kill time. At 9pm, after some photo taking and cake cutting session, we had out serving of cake and rush over to Siew Hoon's chalet for her cake cutting session. Luckily we made it in time. After that, headed home with Bing Wen.

Today was a tiring day.

No one is perfect in this world, so what rights do we have to condemn others?

Team chalet on 25/09 was quite a success. It was also mid-autumn festival. No moon cakes and lantern, but there is hard liquor and poker cards accompanying the guys throughout the night. The food from the caterer also not too bad, but the food like not enough. Almost the whole team attended the chalet, kind of a bonding session also. Some can even gamble up to 13 hours! Hope to have such gathering next time.

Attended the NPCC award dinner thing at traders hotel on 28/09, the food was yummy..lol..got shark fins, chicken etc etc. But at the end of the dinner, I think suffered from indigestion.

Attended Terence's 21st birthday chalet, a lot of people, but only some that I know.

Found a driving instructor introduced by Aaron, not sure if he is good, but I will pass FTT before going for practical lessons. FTT on 22/10. Less than 2 weeks' time, please let me pass at my 1st attempt. Next is the 'O' level English examination on 29/10, please let me pass as it is my many attempts already..lol..

Meet up with my poly classmates on Wednesday as Kai Yong is going in on Monday. We had hans for dinner, not too bad la, a bit like home-made type. Had fish n chips, but the soup was damn watery.

By the way, finally received my letter yesterday, but was told to go for another medical checkup. Sian.. go so far somemore 8.30am got to reach. So I still don't know where I will be going. 2 more days Kai Yong, Andy, Sean and Tortai going in...

Tomorrow 2 birthday chalets!!! Both also at Pasir Ris costa sand, but the thing is, both cake cutting time at 9pm!! So what am I suppose to do man?? Somemore 2 presents when I am quite broke now? =x

Rowing left side is a challenge, I shall continue to work hard on it.

Master Series next week, Regatta 23 days more.

Went to visit Wen Bin after one year, wonder how is he now...

"Academic Status: COMPLETED COURSE OF STUDY FOR THE DIPLOMA IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY"

After 3 years plus of education in polytechnic, finally got this status. However, not offically graduate yet. In the end, it still does not meet up the standard I want. =)

More and more people are leaving, hate to hear or see this happening. So, who's next? They came and return their stuffs yesterday, meaning that there is no room for negotiation already.

Sava Sprint 2007, as usual, the strongest overseas team win it all again. They are actually very friendly group of people. Till we meet again.

Went to Terence's birthday chalet on 15/09, his 21st birthday, was expecting a lot of people from BDS, but it turn out that we are actually minority. But still meet us some of my ex-classmate there.

Seeing some of the guys having their POP on last Wednesday already, time flies, 2 months had passed. Some will be going in on 15th Oct, less than 1 month's time. I am anxious!!!

My life now is without any goal...=(

Yesterday transform the 6 meeting rooms into normal rooms back within 8 hours, a bit of sense of achievement. Been scrubbing the metal bins for the previous 2 days, my hands are with the lemon-eze, the skin of my left palm is peeling off . ZZzzz...

Today English 'O' level oral, think gone case again. Picture description and conversation sucks. Tomorrow is weekend and no training!! hoohoo!!

NS letter, please come to my mail box soon ok? I can't wait to see you...

I am really getting sick of working now. Don't feel like going tomorrow. Really feel reluctant. How?

Master Series 3 today, juniors in the heats, not bad man, they make it to the semi-finals. Feel happy for them. But we take over from semi-finals. In semi-finals, meet up strong teams, so position we didn't get very good results, make it to minor finals. In the end, got 1st. Though is minor finals, but the team is really high in morale when the boat cross the finishing line. Laugher and cheering were immediately let out. New timing record has also been clocked. This feeling has been lost for quite some time already. After race, went to Tampines Mall for lunch, including juniors, so the group was quite big, think is like first time so big? After that, gossip session aka chilling session!!! The feeling of achieving something is really great. What we achieve today: Hard cover card holder!! Race so hard just to get a card holder. hahaa...See ya 2 weeks later!~Really enjoyed today.

Last week was a shag week... 1st day, using the name tag 'Flora' for a few hours, hopefully no one has been paying attention to my name tag. I realized around 90% of the people in the department are not local. =X National Day celebration show this year seems to be not as exciting as last time, a bit disappointed. Marina Bay is indeed too small for the NDP. Had Fish n Co on Friday, tried the fish and chips for the 1st time, it's nice!!! But the portion like not enough? It's monday again!! Today is the slackest day because really nothing much to do. 24 hours a day is really not enough.

August babies a lot this month, have been chiong-ing birthday parties for 2 sataurdays, 1 more for this coming sataurday. Master Series this coming Sunday..again..

10-men crew PA race at Singapore River. Not too bad, got a bronze in tertiary events. After that went home. Went out to pasar malam at Bedok interchange before heading to Bedok 85 market for dinner. During dinner talk a lot about unit stuff, hai..nothing to elaborate also. Anyway, 3 more weeks to master series.=)

Suppose to go for the YiLiang prize presentation(don't know what prize) at Raffle Hotel, however, due to unforeseen circumstances, did not go in the end. Anyway, congrats YiLiang!!

Before that, went to temple with Adrian for returning of prayer, then have KFC. It's a sinful meal again. After that, went back school. Didn't see the bus, then not going already, then slack in school. Walk around the school like some sort of freshies, as though first time in school, rather idiotic. The school is a boring place.

Friday went for area 10 ATC 2007. This shall be my last ATC already. First day was the slackest due to delay and cancel of some activities. Sleep for less than 2 hours? Day 2 was the most tiring day, with all the activity cycle, but also the most enjoyable one, because got campfire. Day 3, the mood to go home and have a good rest, and also departing with those fellow area 10 CIs. Whole camp was sleeping less than 5 hours? But it was definitely a fun one. Will miss wearing the maroon area shirt, the campsite, the campfire etc etc...

The PUB rowing show at Marina Bay was fun! Even though the main objective is not met, but we had a great time rowing and having fun. Having to row left again is tiring. The food there is good.

My back is aching!! argH!!!

Rest for sometime after race, looking forward to the next training. Perhaps no one will know how much it hurts without falling. But the problem is, one must know what's the root of the problem and the reason of failure. Hope this failure is not wasted, buck up guys!!

Dinner after race, like not very worth it? I didn't get to try the fried rice at all!! hahaa...and the potato is making me feeling sick.

Bowl on Saturday at textile center, gonna close down soon, but the rate was damn cheap.

I am sick again...

幸福是什么?

Area 10 LMSC 2007 on 20th June to 22nd June, went for it to help out. 3 days of the course, quite enjoyable and also a bonding session. After that, went for the chalet a while at Aloha Changi. as usual, big and nice and deserted.

POL-ITE race 2007 held at Bedok Reservior on last Saturday, 23/06/07. It is an one and only race set among the polytechnics and ITE team. We managed to get 3rd in this race, Congrats!~ And also not forgetting the girls team, who get 1st again in this year's race. Cheers!~

June race in 5 more days. How much difference we can make is up to us. In 5 days' time, it's time to show what we are made of. Keep morale high!!

It's really sucks to do something which you don't feel like doing.

16 June 2007, the expiry date for my 3 years of CIship. I did learnt something from the course throughout these years, but still, I still prefer to be a follower.

Had my fitness test on Thursday, quite okay with the result I guess, but still got 1 fail, which is sit-up. But 47 this number is the most I did so far. hahaa..therefore, i still make impove =). After that, I fall sick again.(Same as last year, also this period sick! Damn!!)

Some sad news also in the team. Hope that those people will get over will it.

5 more days to POL-ITE race, please let me get well soon, and also to those people who are currently sick.

Remember, respect your opponent! We can do it!

Can I have the number of the counsellor which pin on the SAA notice board?

"I am a First-Aider, I can help!".

3 full day of first aid course has ended. Went for this course with Sean and Ze Feng. Have to wake up damn early to attend, feel kind of tired these 3 days. The class comprises of around 20 plus people, with a mixture of secondary school kids and members of public. Curse those kids in the class, was super noisy throughout this course, majority of them are secondary 1 students. Most of the time really feel like using the bandage to stuff it into their mouth.

The course was quite fun, did learn something new. To chiong the whole book in 2 days is like mental training.

Today is the test day. First was the theory paper, followed by practical. A pass is a must in both area, however, after finishing, think that I did a lot of them wrong. While waiting for the theory results, she says there is a bad news!! 2 failure in the class.. I was damn worried at that moment, think the heart rate is go up to 200 beats in a minute lor. But thankfully, I passed! Getting so nervous is actually a very tiring process.

Proceed with the practical test, the examiner is 73 years old, still contributing to the Red Cross. When he stepped in, he was really looking damn fierce, especially when he started to test on those kids, the 3 of us like were already planning of a re-test date already. He doesn't compromise standard. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, we found out that he is actually a very humorous old man who stick on his principle and his stand. He taught us some new things within that 2 hours, which was something not taught previously.

Finally, we passed the test.

Craving for singing session recently, think china man influence me a lot. Went sing on last Friday, with china man and Lynette. Really enjoy listen to her singing.

Hope miracle will happen 3 and 4 weeks later, kind of sad-ed but not yet demoralize. Please produce more motivation source in me.

The feeling of winning is really very good, but is there another chance of experiencing it again?

Sian

Been to Ben You's(celebrate with Kiat Rui) chalet on Friday and Jane's birthday on Saturday. First chalet provides almost unlimited of alcoholic drinks whereas second one provides more on food. Both were quite fun, kind of a small secondary school gathering.

Request for earlier enlistment is not approve. The school cheat my feelings. =( Mostly likely will be in Dec. argh!!!!! There will be 7 months time...

Nowadays a lot of people getting emo, think is the peak emo period.

If you happen to pick up a $2 note, how will you spend it?

Bought a Toto ticket myself few days ago just to try my luck, didn't win any money but 2 and a half of the number come out. Just too bad. Anyway,that's my 1st attempt. Hopefully don't get hooked in gambling in toto or 4D.

Played tennis just now, not too bad la the game, but also a bit sian too. Maybe need more practice?

Hate the school!! Cheat my feelings!! hai..sian..

Give me earlier enlistment can?

"I Can Only Imagine".

Watched spiderman 3 with some 12 of the teammates on Wednesday, almost the last row was occupied by us. We were quite lucky that can still get the tickets 3 hours before the show, and get to choose the last row of seats. Didn't watch part 1 and 2, so kind of a bit no link when watch part 3, but overall, quite nice. After watching, had supper at McDonald. We were still chatting on the show, damn lame, got the china version of spiderman because of bobo, the china man. hahahaa...laugh like hell at mac, shall ask him what his web is made of!! Well, watching which movie next Wednesday?lol..

Yesterday's rowing was bad I guess, having long lecturing session. Hopefully the session will do the team better. Our small group of seniors currently has face different batch of people now, feelings and the motivation is different. Everything is so different, but however, life have to move on. Just kind of miss it what you have lost. As for me, yes indeed I do feel something at the end of the training, my expression can't hide, even though I am trying to. Shall not elaborate much on it because I do not want to affect the others.

How much time does a horse spend sleeping at night?
Horses typically spend anywhere from 4 to 15 hours a day in standing rest, and anywhere from minutes to several hours lying down. Only part of that time is actual sleep time, which is taken in brief naps that last a few minutes each. The daily total sleep time for an adult horse may range from a few minutes to a couple of hours. Foals and young horses, like other youngsters, sleep more, more deeply, and more often than adults.

First day of school today, went to school even though no lesson for me. Meet zf and mingmar to try their graduation attire, but not yet me. Mingmar may be going back soon, depends on the situation, but will definitely miss him if is going back. Had lunch at Flavours canteen, miss the food and dessert there. Today is not enough, shall continue another day. Went library a while after that, saw a lot of people at level 3 slacking, think should be those year 1s in majority.

Temasek Regatta 2007 ended with great success. Everything goes on smoothly and it was a great and tiring day for us. Gathered at sport complex at 7am, get changed into the the tee-shirt and go directly to the reservoir. Once again, being allocated the role of drummer, quite fun. Seeing those secondary school kids rowing their best to achieve victory,especially those inexperience one, it really reveals the importance of team work in the boat. One of the race is the school of IT(guys) which I was drumming for them. They were really very motivating group of people who enjoy cheering for themselves. Kind of like their cheer actually. In the end, not too sure of their placing in that race, think should be either 2nd or 3rd, which makes me feel that school of IT is not actually moulding a bunch of board and dull people. 3 cheers to school of IT =).

After that, take part in the alumni race. Hahaha..got 1st. Will it be stated in the student transcript?hahaha...

After that, ended it with everything wrap up and the debrief, followed by the dinner provided. Hope that such event or more upcoming can provide more bondings for the team.

Training today makes me feel a sense of satisfaction after so long. Perhaps long time didn't row what we did today, after completing it, like that feeling. The motivation among the team is good, hope to have this feeling again in future. 5 weeks to race, I believe the team can do it!~

Today Friday the 13, just got to be more careful.

Went bowling with some of the guys after training on Wed and Thurs.. Wed went to marina square there to bowl, reach there around 6 plus, but after 6pm is of higher rate. Didn't really play bowling for quite some time, feeling kind of shiok playing it again...

I think that some arrogant and egoist bastard should really shut up and stuff that bowling ball into his mouth, and not to say something like "I will win you" this kind of thing to almost everyone. This will only make others more dislike you even more. Hopefully now that he has a lot more time to think, think it over again and be more humble. Even if he really has what it takes, just shut the freaking mouth, worse of all, he really don't have what it takes, not even one pathetic game. (think the guys will know who this egoist bastard is, not worth it to mention in this blog to pollute it!).

Yesterday went to Katong to bowl, damn unlucky!! Went there to find out that it was close down. After that, we headed to textile center at Lavender there. We bowled for 4 games, Shi Han aka Hazel(initially was Mary) says not enough, shall bowl again one day.

Do you think life is fair?

Feeling sick and headache...damn it..

Looking forward to the dinner with my classmate later, got to catch up with them, long time no see. Looking forward to Friday's dinner too. Lot's of dinner recently, meaning no more $$...sad-ed.. Means will have to look for money soon. From where? One-Stop Center again?Happy belated birthday to Xiang Lin, who was munching medicine on his birthday, hope he will get well soon.

My head going to explode soon..

Good Friday today, my Friday seems a bit boring and spend aimlessly. The weather sucks, going on , off and on. Last rowing session, the weather is already like that, very hot, then a bit of rain with dark clouds, then hot again and dark clouds again, what is wrong with the weather man? I think it is also the reason for people falling sick.

Master Series 1 is over, there is room for improvement for the team. After that, chalet at downtown east, organised by Desmond, Raymond and me. Somehow is rather successful I would say for the number of people who turn up. Though the time is short, but is rather fun.

TAIN exams the following after chalet, a bit tired but the question did come out on what I had studied for. To pass shouldn't be a problem. Emailed the teacher yesterday, he say result will not be released till principal's approval, and MAYBE will be around late April or early May, WTF??!!

Happy birthday to Desmond, Raymond and XiangLin whose birthday falls on the same week in the team, and also to all the April kids=)

Thanks for all the greetings and wishes, people!!

People getting sick nowadays, throat getting dry now...

Last week's AGM was a great one, firstly get our nice new polo tee, then watch the powerpoint slides and tributes, followed by dinner and presentation. But too bad can't join them for the gathering after the AGM. Last Friday was really a busy day for me, everything was so rush.

Congrats to Irvin, Alvin and ah boon... and also Audery, lynette and sze hui.

Now mugging alone for the coming and the only paper on monday, master series on sunday, guys, really got to do your best man!~

TAIN (Technology and Innovation) is actually a nice subject, kind of easy to pass i guess, or like what the teacher says. My group members says I am always putting on the black thinking hat during project discussion, hahaa..I would say YOU GUYS ARE LUCKY OKAY? lol...

Well, enlistment date may delay, so sian...who knows there will be another river regatta for me?hahaha...

Good luck for those having supp papers!~

Not sure why my blog got something wrong with it, will be force to close it, is it because of the blogskin?

Assignment period again, but shouldn't be a problem. Time frame is fast, got to complete assignment by this week.

IT fair this year, been there twice already. Bought some items such as thumbdrive, harddisk etc. Someone asked me what is the different between flash drive and thumb drive. Here's the answer:

Flash drives and thumb drives have many similar qualities, but there are a few differences.

A flash drive is a compact USB memory drive that acts a lot like a portable hard drive. You can store data on it, as well as, transfer it from computer to computer. They are able to hold a great deal of information, but they do come in different storage sizes. The greatest amount that is available today is 2 GB. These types of drives have easily taken over floppy disks, because floppies can only hold 1.44 MB. That's quite a difference!

Beside being able to hold mass amounts of data, flash drives are as small as a pack of gum and they can easily fit into your pocket for easy transportation. They are also more convenient to use than an external hard drive, because of their small size. Nobody wants to drag a hard drive around everywhere they go!

Like I said before, a thumb drive is very similar in the amounts of data it can hold and its size. Thumb drives are like digital lock boxes. They come with a write protection feature. This is just a switch located at the bottom of the drive that when it is unlocked, you are able to write data to the thumb drive, but when it is locked, you can only read data from the drive. This feature helps with accidental deletion of some of your files.

Other than that, flash drives and thumb drives both work to store your personal data, whether that be documents, pictures, music, etc. All you have to do is drag and drop the files you want onto the drive and then you can edit them just like you would anything else. You can also transport the information between different computers very easily. So, if you want to show that awesome picture to your mom or share that new song with your friend, you can do that with either one of these USB drives.

Flash drives and thumb drives both usually work on Windows 98 and SE, ME, 2000, XP and on Mac OS 8.6, 9.0 and higher as long as you have USB functions on your computer. They even work on some Linux programs. All of these capabilities depend on your system. The cost of both of these devices vary greatly depending on the manufacturer and the size of storage you get.

Basically, the main advantages of these drives is that they hold more data and they're easier to carry around. They're more practical than a floppy disk, a CD or an external hard drive. So, if you often find yourself wanting to share information on different computers and you want a secure way to save your data, a flash or thumb drive will be perfect for you.

hahaha...4 more days to assignment due.

aarrrgghh!! sian..now alone in school library level 3 using computer. Feeling boring, don't know what to do. All the best having their paper now.

Day 2 of lesson today, so far the lesson have been quite interesting, I will continue and try to pay attention in class. So far 2 days of lesson also late, hahaaa...sorry teacher, I will try not to be late the next time. Intensive lesson, 1 day = 4 days i guess, because all squeeze into 1 mth rather than the normal 4 mths. Still gonna think of a product to enhance, my group think of tablet computer, what do the rest think? hahaa..

Feeling rather restless now, typing this post, hearing some laughter some computers away, watching something funny show from the computer, feel like slapping them, laughing so loud.hahaha...think should head home and have a nice afternoon nap now...=)

Don't know what is wrong is the date setting, now is 26/02/2007, 14:53...

End my SIP around 2 weeks ago... the feeling is great, no more formal wear and travel to novena, no more office hour etc. To those who is still having their SIP, all the way!! it's ending sooN!! Last day of SIP was rather slack, some of us were taking pics, then the rest of the time was walking around to wait for the time to pass. In the morning, there is this division presentation which we were suppose to attend, but who cares man, just went there for free food. My last lunch break, went for lunch at 12pm, go orchard meet my classmate for lunch and went back at 2pm, longest break ever. 3pm interns debriefing, wrote some comment such as the security's attutite, think he got serious attitude problem. I chat with my supervisor, though it was less then 30 mins of chatting sesison, but is the longest period of time which I chat with her. Well, just wish her all the best, and also my supervisor's boss. Don't think will be travelling to novena soon, get rather tired of this place.

Happy Chinese New Year to all chinese!!! Today is the 4th day of CNY, hope that everyone is still fine after eating all heaty bak gwa, pineapple tarts, cakes, sweets, sweety drinks etc (Yummy yummy)!!! hahaa..only 4th day, and now i am having fever. think majority of the new year stuff is eaten by me, not the guest. sick on CNY, sucks man!!

Vocation term elective is approved, meaning no 4.1 for me.(Faster come congrats me!!). The elective is an IT sch elective, starting this fri, today is wed, and I don't know the freaking time table yet, so they expect us to stand by on fri from 7am to 9pm? system sucks to the core...always so last minute. It is gonna be intensive, how intensive is it? Graduation ceremony in next year? sad is the word..

Good luck for all those having exams...

Jan Time Sheet

It ending soon.. Have been counting down everyday, 1 more week left. How i wish the building suddenly caught fire, renovation for 1 week. Well, on that day of grading by my supervisor on Wednesday, i was thinking how is she going to grade me? she doesn't assign me much work, don't know how good or bad my performance is, don't know much about me, how to grade? Well, must be quite hard on her to actually have to grade me within 15 to 20 minutes time, as she got the form 20 minutes before my LO came. Looking at the situation like this, don't think she will give me better grades, then a 'pass' will do la. Feel like learning so little through this attachment, life's so unfair..

For some of my friends out there graduating, what you gonna do after that?work?slack? Have been wanting to travel to somewhere, but no money to do so...sad!

Receive a purple letter, ask me for vocation assessment, hahaha..just hope everything goes on fine. Coming holidays, still not sure how to fully utilize it.

CNY coming, yet to get new clothes.

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, where are you? Please look for me during this CNY ok?

argh!!! 1 more week!!

Lunch time seems to be more enjoyable nowadays. Tuesday went for lunch with Lindy, had a quick lunch at level 2 cafeteria, then take train to orchard to walk walk. Not much crowd at that time, feeling so different. Today went to Raffles place to lunch with ky, kt, jon and vivian.Food over there is definitely better in novena, much more variety and better price. Using tissue paper to book places are often seen there, but rarely seen in other areas. The whole area are filled with formal wear people, all seems to be rushing for time, depicting the meaning of 'time is money'.There are also some seating on the stone bench reading TODAY, youngsters promoting their services and products with noticable outfit. Really like the environment there, but just too bad, I am not fated to work there.

Chinese New Year is coming, got to start hunting for items before doing last minute shopping. So much things to buy, yet money is never enough to satisfy one's need. That's life! So that people will strive hard for it.

Resolution for this year?Still there is lots of uncertainty, need to take some time and think. But so far, beginning of this year already fall sick, hopefully things will get better.

Hate taking train during peak hour, because you will end up like sardin in the can.Recently have been quite late for work, hopefully next week onwards, will be able to be earlier.

3 more weeks, looking forward to this break, because a lot of things yet to be done.By the way, time sheet for Jan is half way through!! Welcome back to those people who had their attachment overseas. NAPFA is coming, got to train. Feel so tired of it...hahaha. Some people are falling sick recently, get well soon... 2 questions to think, don't forget!!

Went back to training yesterday after few weeks, muscles are aching now...

The vacation term elective till now is still under pending approval, why do they need such a long time to decide whether to approve or not? If it's only 8 people in a class, so what? 500 plus for a subject, not worth it man, but what to do?

To think that the task seems impossible, but if you don't try, you may regret it. What can I do man? Got any advisor to help solve this problem?

Now it's year 2007, new year, new resolution!! Too much to mention...

Summary of Year 2006:
It has been a frutiful year, been to 2 overseas races before, both also a great one, or rather, great two. Also we have the POL-ITE race, July race and Regatta race, all at least we do obtain something. Seeing the yr 1s from 100 over people, now only to the selected people, following the footprints which we left it last yr, starting to think that we time is fast. Of course, happy moments is best kept in our heart, and also there were sad moment such as attending friend's funeral. Other than that, going through attachment is also a great experience for me to have a taste of how's the office lifestyle is like. The year has ended, what's done cannot be undone, just hope that in this new year, everything will still be fine, world peace=).

Now in year 2007, the year end sales has been very tempting. Bought some items, now quite broke.20 plus more working days left...

Went back to work today after X'mas, my department seems to be a little quieter than before, as some of the staffs are clearing their leave from this week till next year. Shiok man!~

Monsoon season now, keep raining and raining...Today was raining the whole day, till now still raining. Too much of it sucks. Well, think I have to learnt to prioritize things efficiently...

Back from Penang, and I can really say it was a very fruitful trip.

Meeting the rest of the teammate at 9pm on last Friday at school. Captain forgot the time, and luckily he managed to make it just in time to board the bus. When we were in our first bus, all of us were very excited about the trip already. Later part when we reach the custom, we board the other bus which is 26-seater, from the custom. The coach is really consider comfortable, rather spacious. we started off out journey from the second coach at around 10pm. The lighting of the coach was dim, and we sleep our way till the first rest point where we had our supper.Subsequently, we only had toilet break in between. Sleeping at the bus is quite hard, though it is consider comfortable.Finally, we reach our hotel, Copthorne Orchid, at about 8 plus in the morning. When we reach there, saw many teams from singapore were already there. We waited at the lobby while waiting to check in. As rooms are not available yet, we were only given 2 rooms to be shared among 26 of us.

At half past 12, we were all ready for the first day of our mission. Our first heats was mens' open. We managed to get 1st and get into semi-finals. As for mens' junior, we got 2nd and was ORIGINALLY get into finals since there is not semi-finals.

The next day, due to unforeseen circumstances, we were to go for rapid charge race. Fill with some unsatisfaction, all the guys row their hearts out and we got back our place to finals. As for the results of mens' juniors and mens' open, we got 4th and 1st respectively.

These 2 days of races were very happening. We did experienced something from it.

As day 2 of the trip was Irvin's birthday, we 'celebrated' his day there.hahaha...and we know that he had reveiced his best present, which is the gold cookie. Overall, the trip was memorable.

A dragon boat team worth remembering, Team Hak.

Finally week 8, 42 more working days, meaning "Thank god it's alredady half way!", or " Half way only?", depends on how you think it. Fall sick again, and viruses was spreading it on and on. This got to stop.

As usual, these period of time during attachment is rather boring, no life. Most of the time is only go work, go home and go training.

Today went home taking train. While walking to take another bus, there is this teenage girl, with a booklet on her hand and a pen I guess(if i didn't see wrongly), was coming towards me while I was walking and listening to songs. I thought she's doing some survey and I kind of trying to avoid it. But She seems to be talking something was I have to take of my ear piece to figure out what she wants. It turn out to be her asking what bus goes to Jurong point. This is the rough conversation between us:
She: Sorry, may I know what bus goes to Jurong Point? Don't faint ahz(we were at bedok interchange)
Me: (I was thinking of what bus)
She: You working? You looking young..
Me: (say restlessly) Having attachment
She: Are you rushing to go home?
Me:(just give a smile i think, cannot really remember), I think you can approach the working kiosk over there...
She: thank you

The whole conversation should be something like that, cannot remember much.But really find her weird, if she really wants to know what bus to take, will she ask about if I am working and rushing home all those things? Well, I still think she is a surveyot, using other ways to tricking people in answering their question.

Took some nice postcards at work place, it's really plain and simple, yet quite plansant-looking.

Few more days, kind of excited about it.

November time sheet

Wednessay went to work, a fire alarm sounded at 10.05am and followed by the P.A system asking the people to stay calm and wait for further instruction. What's going on?

The whole building is having the fire drill exercise. Long time didn't have this kind od exercise already, quite fun actually. No one is allowed to take lift down, and my work place is at level 21, meaning got to walk down all the way to level 1...hahahaa...everybody was like walking and chatting on the stairway, some was sms-ing (like me), some was like having their breakfast and some even wore the jacket down, under happens to be a hot day. After that, all assesble at the church, take attendance and go back. It took me 11 minutes to walk from level 21 to level 1. hahahaa...Even though the weather was quite hot, I kind of enjoy it as to skip work. Had lunch at Raffles Place, didn't know that there is actually is hawker centre there, and the food is quite cheap.

Today after work went for training. Today is also 'shaving' day after the training session ends. Some of the guys is shaving their hair botak!! The process is quite fun, seeing them having their hair being shave.. but not all are willing to do so. Tomorrow Friday again, and today is the end of November!! Finally get to see my November timesheet being fully filled up and also quite hard up now...

Tuesday went to office, feeling head is like going to explode.Lunch time really feel like going home, then take leave to see doctor. During lunch time, saw eric and talk a bit with him.

Wednesday no MC, so no choice go for work.Still feeling a bit headache, so take the pills prescribed by the doctor.

Today, quite slack in office because they got nothing for me to do, but think that there will be more work coming up soon. Went to training after that. Did my fitness drop drastically? Or is it I have not recover? Or etc etc?I don't know...Just think of the 1st reason, and better buck up with the fitness and training. So people, please give me more motivation ok?I think I really it...

Really not feeling very good recently, got so many things to mention...what can I do?
Tomorrow Friday...

Went to school early today to change the matric card to new one, but don't know what's the point since we are graduating soon for the year 3s. After that, went back to temple at Bugis.

Yesterday was Friday, Friday = happy day, especially got excursion!! I was one of the selected people to go, heng man..Excursion to HDB Hub to watch the exhibition on the government sector thing on public service is kind of..um...hahaa...sian! The great thing is, I can go home early!!!hohoho....

One of my friend (forgot who already) says S.I.P = Slacking In Progress, I think I really have to agree with this!! If you were going out for SIP, you will know why I agree with it. Tomorrow training resumes for some of us, kind of excited about it.

Today think of some activities for the coming long holidays in Feb, don't know can implement it or not, hopefully can...

I don't mean to be rude, but this song is quite nice I think. Well, recently also feeling everything not quite right, due to luck? hai...so 'negative' this week..sian...Today finally got something to do at work...hahaa...well, enjoy this song..

The race is over...

Lots of feelings is in it, no time to unleash it now...perhaps talk about this on another time..

SIP in the 4th week already, don't know am I lucky or unlucky, I am still doing little or nothing in the office. How? Others are already busy like hell, and I was there doing self study whole day. So what actually SIP is all about? Slacking? Stressing? When you ask others how SIP is like, I'll tell you, that's no definite answer to it...

Time passes so slow in the office...
I miss TPDB...

End of week 2 for school and SIP, 14 weeks more to go...hahaha...counting down every moment. Miss the food in school because long time didn't get to visit them already. What most importantly is the price!! Eating in foodcourt has cause an increase in my daily expense, and it's like almost everyday, hard to save money. But no choice la...Tomorrow will be Monday again, Monday blue...

6 more days, please don't let me fall sick again, can't afford to fall sick at this time...still remember the last race, was sick quite badly at the last week before race, kind of worry at time...hahaa...luckily recover in time...

I think today got a lot of my friends birthday, got hui wei, hidayah, jackson, chye huat, kamal etc etc (forgive me if i forgot, cos really a lot of people birthday today...) Happy Birthday people!!

The feel so far is quite good, no matter what, HIGH morale okay? After this race, where'd some of us go?
