Opened the office at 7am today, for their preparation for in-pro. But turn out that I was waiting for 20mins before the second person appears. Today was quite peaceful as the old man is not around. A lot were clearing off today, either 1 day or half day. If not for the in-pro, i will be clearing as well. As usual, do the usual stuff. Zhi Rui was sms-ing me just now, was quite unexpected. He asked if I am ORD-ing tmr. I said no, which lead to the thinking that my batch of poly batch will be ORD-ing this week, which includes Si Rong and Ze Feng. Both ORD-ing on the 13th. Civilian life means a new chapter begins.After 2 yrs of military life, it's time to face greater challenges. As for me, 6 more months to ORD, not sure if I am ready for this day. For now, just wanting to get out of this cycle, a whole cycle of regimental duties. However, when the ORD day really comes, will the pressure increase?

I am tired today.

Thursday's night was left with only me again in bunk. Went for a jog, then watch TV, then lights off. Saw those officer cadets booking out at around 2345h.

Friday morning, wake up at 0650h, wash up at get ready for work. Douglas was earlier, so he drew the office key before me. The office look quite empty as other working days at 0715h. By 0735h, A called back to report sick, B arrived at 0745h. Tune on to 93.3FM, hear of the news that C was finally caught. I started the day by logining into the OA, doing what there is need to be done, followed by collect newspaper, prepare powerpoint slides, forms etc. Douglas wanted to photocopy some documents opposite us, however, lights were not on.I went to toilet, realised that the dept beside us were all not in. Went to the usual place to collect newspaper, the door is locked.

Received around 3 phone calls today and trying to finish up what's left on the format of the document.

At 1715h, passed by the stretch of corridor to reach the DO room, it was so quiet, other dept were all not present in camp.

I left the camp at 1735h.

Live firing is finally over. Got sunburn and lots of mosquito bites. Really tiring!

In-Pro day on Monday, got to settle a lot of stuff. However, some last minute have to settle before noon that day, which really keeps me busy the whole morning, working non stop till lunch. First In-Pro things done by me, not very satisfactory, shall do better next time, afterall, I got till July,

Off day is kind of monotonous, such as went for driving lessons, eat, sleep, jog, tv, internet etc.

It's the month of May. Great Singapore Sales coming at the end of the month. Looking forward to it. few more course = few more In-Pros.

Down with flu, sick again.

Went for today's NE trip at National Museum of Singapore. Not as boring as I thought, kind of enjoy it. Get to see all those old things which we don't get to see it nowadays.

Taking over as admin spec already, life sucks, but I will hang it there. First day as admin spec and it's not working smoothly.

Clearing off this week and next week. Still planning what to do during this period of time. But then still worry about work, unsure if it is done or not. Anyway, working with that old man really makes me feel pressurized. How I wish he can go for a 3 month holiday immediately.

Hear of the strong wind on Wednesday night? It really look scary. Happened to be outside at that time when I saw those trees were swaying very strongly. Those signboard were looking as though they will fly out anytime. The whole stretch of road was really dim, deserted and scary.

Took IPPT on Wednesday, just like what I expected, I didn't managed to get gold, mainly is the running timing still not good enough. It really saddens me to see the drop in fitness after so long of breaks. Nowadays training for sundown, hopefully I can at least finish this marathon, not to mention about fast speed.

The road is really long for this critical 3 months. In life, you gain something, you may also end up losing something, however, I don't know what I will gain, but I will definitely lose out more things.

Watch "The Shinjuku Incident" this evening. Jackie Chan didn't use martial arts, not too bad overall. Wasted 2 weeks, a damn long period. Feel like lost touch in a lot of things. Hope everything remains the same, if not, become better.

I just realised that I can't run. Energy level is extremely low. It's really a big problem!

It has been super long time since the last time I run. Been staying at home doing nothing...argh!! don't like the feeling. IPPT and adidas sundown marathon, real soon. I am getting worried.

3 weeks unable to come online, due to internet down at home. Finally after 3 weeks, internet is working again. It sucks without it.


Sometimes, not everything is on your way or the way you want it to be. It really saddens me when I had Chicken Pox a week ago. Seriously, if this happen a week or 2 weeks later, things will be so much better. I had miss the precious time, important moment with them.

Talking about Chicken Pox, a lot actually say they had it since young, I was wondering, when will my turn be. Even after what happened to Mark (OCT then) during BK, I thought I was consider lucky for escaping it. It struck me with Chicken Pox last week, the unexpected period of time.

Had 1 week of MC from the medical center. I extended it with 1 more week even though I hate to do it, as staying at home really boring, but no choice.

Really thanks for all wishes. Each of it really brightens my day. 10 more minutes to the end of today, hopefully this year will be a better year.

The cursed Friday the 13th sucks. This day doesn't goes smoothly for me.
- Morning wake up feel tired
- Draw arm timing late due to fuck up timing given
- Lack of manpower, I had to do the preparation alone
- Water point stores left unattended
- Didn't ask them to keep
- Hidden by someone
- Whole world was questioning me
- World world know it's my fault (Including trainees!!)
- Feeling so fuck up
- ISAC card got lock

Fuck up Friday!!

如果一切可以重来。。。

Just some memories from the last day of BMT. The performance of the drill squad in Pegasus Coy. We got champion then. =)

1/3 of the course is over. No mood for this course, feeling restless. Anyway, yesterday saw an email regarding the individual timing for 121st ARR result. I took 4.57 minutes to complete. It was the one of the slowest among those NSF. After seeing it, was rather depressing. I didn't expect to have such timing. The trial was 4.49, 8 seconds difference. It really saddens me.

Finally went for swimming this morning, but didn't last long. After that, went to SIM open house with Melvin, saw some familiar faces. We completed gathering the brochures within 20minutes? I can't decide which course to apply. The open house was kind of unexpected.

Meet zf n raymond for dinner at tampines. The last time we met was dunno how many months ago. Everyone was busy, after dinner all went home. Looking forward for the next meet-up. Same goes for the ASC meet-up too!! BMT meet-up will be better!!

Exactly a week ago I was still in Thailand, should be in bus now to the floating market. Went Thailand for 2 weeks. It is indeed a good experience. Enjoy there, just that the weather was quite hot in the day and cold at night. We went crocodile farm, floating market, future park etc. Bus journey was board, each trip to another destination was average 1 hr. Didn't really buy a lot of stuff in this trip, only some shirt and key chain.

Back to office, new course starting. Was feeling rather restless and no mood for anything. I feel that this week is a slow week as time passes quite slow. Anyway, life sucks.

Watched 'Love Matters', was rather disappointed, but still quite ok. Sundown marathon is near. OMG!~

Is my passion in rowing still exist? I am confused! I feel so lost.

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.

Merry Christmas!

It's just like any other day when I spend this special day at home doing nothing. Don't really look forward for any programme as I don't really celebrate Christmas through my entire life. NS life have come to the mid point, life not that bad, as compared to the rest. But having to do guard duty makes me feel sian, how I wish I have enough money to buy all the guard duty. Sometimes do feel irritated when people say " Slack right?" after hearing my unit. So what if my unit is slacker then yours? Going slack unit shows that I am somehow a bit luckier, that doesn't mean I do not want to work hard or remain slack.

"Going slack unit shows that I am somehow a bit luckier". Sometimes I think back, am I really that lucky? Or perhaps, I am the unluckiest among the lucky one. Feel that everything is not on my side most of the time. Life sucks. I used to believe that so as long you work hard, you will get what you want. Well, some people don't have to try hard and get something they want, whereas others may have to try damn hard in order to achieve it, or even worse, not able to get it at all. Sometimes was wondering, why not leave everything to fate, instead of working so hard. Well, life has to go on, no matter how good or bad is it, because life sucks.

Whole of December was busy with course. So much to do, so little time to rest. Today just came back from SumEx, quite tiring.

Went for blood donation 4 last Saturday at Douby Ghaut MRT station, the queue was long and we waited for quite sometime. Upon the records on their database system, my last donation was like 3 years ago! Didn't actually realise that I had miss blood donation drives for 3 years. This time was right hand artery, seems to be much faster then the left one on last donation.

Miss running sessions for like many many weeks. Will have to train up after this course, seriously.

Tomorrow's X'mas eve, no plans = stay at home. =X

For the month of November, courses running concurrently. Busy with courses, but the worst part has yet to come.

December lo! It's the month of festive season. Festive season = sales everywhere = spend lots of money = need to save money. Not looking forward for next week, got duty.

Jonathan came and collect the calculator. He mentioned about his life in his unit. It was quite negative. It seems like most people going unit had a hard time, just like some of my batchmates. It really reflect how lucky I am. However, life is never perfect.

Yesterday took part in the Cheveron bowling competition. Bowled quite badly, but I didn't expected to win anything, just go there for fun and eat only.

Hope December is a good month for everything. =)
