Hi, Went for my course today, and already we were told that tommorrow we will be going for the overnight outfield training. So that means no blogging. Spent 1 hour plus for Mum to pick me up at Sembawang because she missed the turnings. Anyways, managed to finalise my stuffs for tommorrow already. Going to bed pretty soon. Went to Sembawang today to find out that my course instructors were my 2 tpt sup friends, Hing n Clarence . Saw also 1 driver course friend and one from PaSir Ris camp. Wonder if this week will pass fast? feeling a bit sian because already covered all these topics when i was in the tpt sup course. Well, i have to take it as a refresher then. dying for the weekend to come... left 5 days n counting.

Managed to finish packing my field pack, webbings n helmet within 1 hour after i came back from town. Didn't expect me to be so fast. Thought that i will only get it finish after 10 plus. Because i had bought quite a number of things from Beach rd with Alf. Like to thank Alf's dad for the lift. Went to meet Lava after dumping my things at home. Had a drink at lucky plaza before window shopping at Taka and then proceeding to Plaza Singapore's Carreffour . Was always a pleasure time with Lava , because we understand one another. Talked abt RCY, n other stuff. Anyways, will be logging off soon. Waking up super super early to reach Sembawang Camp for my course. may be meeting some close friends again. i let you know soon. you people may not hear me for 1 week , so dun't miss me ok. heeee...

Finally back from my duty in camp. in the leisurely of my comfortable bed and pillows! Was quite a botimg day except for yesterday morning when i realised that my keys were not with me. started to panic because it was almost 8 and my uniform and other stuff were in my bunk and locker. Managed to break open and get my Uniform. haiz, what a way to start the day. On Friday, Went to meet some of the others to go cycling. I think we cycled almost a total of 20km on that day. there was even 2 malay guys who cycled down from woodlands and yishun respectively. I was so impressed!. Anyway, going down to beach road to buy things for my course tommorrow at Sembawang. ciao!

Let me first start by wishing all my hindu friends a happy deepavali . and for the non-hindus, enjoy the break too. I know i will esp after what happened yesterday. Suffered my first breakdowns for almost 1 year. Was driving a 1.5 ton to 21 SIB to report for detail, however the silly vehicle stalled engine on me not once, not twice but 3 times . the first at Paya Lebar Flyover, the second after Eunos flyover and the last along Bedok North. Waited for more than an hour before my camp sent recovery. they managed to problem solve the vehicle and soon we were going back to Clementi. After that ordeal, and after i finished camp, I went to find Mei at Taka to pass her CD. Had dinner at Mos Burger and also window shop around Kinokuniya and the shopping centre too. Left town at abt 9pm because i was really exhausted. Today will be going cycling . Betta go and wash up liao..

taking time now to write in camp during the lunchbreak. Today, my camp is having a mini Xcountry at Macritchie res. Kena arrowed to be one of the 5 ton Drivers so that means booking out late tonight. Anway, met up Lava at his camp yesterday in the morning when i was having a detail to go to his camp. Afterwards, I met An Gi Lin and him again for dinner at PS. had a good heart to heart talk abt his plans in the future and some issues abt RC. Was glad that he seems to be prgressing better, slowly but steady. Wished that i had half as much confidence as he does. But that is him, and I am Me. who we are makes a diiference. Why do we need to follow in the same footsteps as others. Why can't i be unique?

hmm.... just want to share something that Sis talked to me abt just now. She asked me to name 2 goals to be achieved by the month's end. thou i had a few goals in mind, I couldn't give a straight answer. For what is holding me back , you can say is a bit of fear. Fear of Committment. I admit, I have the tendency to commit into things be it work, army, family or even a relationship. What puts me off is a bad experience in the past which oftens haunts me. HOw to think abt it, what are my goals really? Is it to be happy? be get a good partner and settle down? to repay my family for what they have done for me? The list can go on and on. But what uis realistic enough that I can accomplish in 2 weeks? I haven't been recently thinking abt all these types of serious issues. I was busy de-stressing myself over the weekend with my friends' birthdays. Maybe it's time to wake up and smell the roses like they say. Have I been wondering in my dream for too long and forget to come back to reality? Wah, that feels so much better after opening up.

Just had my dinner, didn't go out today. Just wanted to spent my Sunday at home. Played my LOTR VCDs, the Fellowship of the Ring and the two Towers on my Computer. It is one of my favourite movies, and was such a joy to watch it back to back. the full 5 hours plus movies on my comp. Anyways, Would like to thank Nutfairy for the wonderful bbq at Pasir Ris. was one of the bbqs that I didn't get my fingers dirty except with food. met up a lot of RCY kakees including Lava . He picked me up from home before fetching Wengz and XuanHui at Whitesands. We didn't stay too long at the BBQ because most of us had other plans. Followed Lava to his home to get Kat's present. Then we drove back to Tampines to pass it to her. She Was still awake even thou it was late in the night. Had a small chat with her before leaving. Lava then drove me back , talking abt some personal issues on the way. It is always my pleasure to ' advise ' and listen to his problems. For i beileve talking to someone abt the problem is so much better than bottling it all up inside . I know that from experience. I used to do that and it was so unhealthy. Luckily now, I got the guidings for the LORD and my of close Friends like Al f, Lava and An Qi Lin. The night is almost over and a new day awits for me. Wonder what tests lay ahead for me? So far, I think i have done my best in getting to my goals. Have you today? Lastly, I also been added to the Friendster craze. My address is kknight29@yahoo.com , feel free to add me. ;)

Heard of this phrase before? well, to me, I have to say yes! my feet is killing me right now. They are so painful from all the ' exercises ' from driving today. Esp since that I'm wearing normal PT shoes, it just adds insult to injury. Thought that being excused from boots would be better who knew that this was going to be so painful. Maybe it is the first day, not so used to drive with it. Stalled engine 3 times somemore, because of the slippery surface between the shoes and the clutch pad. including 1 time with my officer. jia lat man. Waiting for ' Charmed ' on Tv so blogging for the time being. Enjoying my room's aircon while blogging. This is the life. But soon this pleasure will be gone and it's back to work and the cycles continue. Have you wished or wondered why is your life is as it is now? Have you ever wondered what esle you might be doing if life was different? For me, I would want a simple, laid back life ( just like the old kampung days ) where people knew how to REALLY enjoy life. But this is just a dream, whether it turns real , no one knows except for HIM . He is the one who foresees our future, where we will be in 5, 10 years time. He created US and we are his children. Will be kinda looking forward for tommorrow because i'm on leave again on Friday. Might try to call Mei out to celebrate her 21st Birthday. Haven't gotten her prezzie yet so maybe a simple dinner might make it up. If not, I might pop down to Boon lay to take a walk. No, i think I should go to Raffles Place , Want to enjoy the night life along the singapore River.

Hmm.... I hope that I have finally solved the picture issues..... thanks to all who commented. today, spent the morning in camp before going for my Medical appointment at Nat'l Skin centre . Went to IMM to have lunch as well as look for velgro that Yusri wanted. Then took the train to Novena before walking there. the consulation was fast and efficient. The Specialist who saw me was pretty young, and hahaha was soothing both to the eyes and ears.Still can remember her name, Dr Janice Cruz, a sweet lady.( hey don't get me wrong, I'm still a guy you know) She gave me some more prescritions to carry on and even got me a month excuse of wearing boots...( Yeepiiii!!!!!) Looked for the velgro at Plaza Singapore after the checkup. managed to get it after some searching. PS was pretty packed, think it is because of Carrefour's opening. Popped down to Hq for a while, Saw An Qi, Shannen, Ee Ling , Doreen and Nirmala . Left Hq at abt 5:30pm and took 36 to parkway. Saw an old Red Cross friend on the way back. He just ORD in AUg and so enjoying life for the moment. reached home at 6 and decided to cycle. It has been a long time since i did that, the air was so refreshing and the view of the sunset was simply breathe-taking . The sun was shining in Orange-y Red. I really missed these types of moments where i could forget of all the activities that is happening and enjoy the wonders of Mother Nature. When will I ever get this chance again. Once again, hope you can see the pictures and have a gd night.

Got back to camp today feeling very tired. Went to 3 places today for detail with QM Dept. Visited Pasir Laba, Stagmont and CMPB. Finished at abt 3pm before slowing taking my time to wash my vehicle. Today MT Line was so quiet, the reason why, 2 of my 'noisy' SSGs were not here. Hallelujah!. Waiting for Smallville 's finale later on. the actress playing Lona Lane is so cute... hahahaha... but I prefer Asian Girls. :) Tommorrow will be only in camp till noon. After which going to Skin centre for my followup session. Most prob will not be going for detail because of the timing but it is always hard to say. Life is so unpredictable. wanna Wish Ms Jenny a sweet 21st Birthday today, Best Wishes to you . This is the 2nd birthday of the week, I 've still got 3 more to go this week. Lastly, I like to add that something was wrong with my sunset pic so I've replaced with the charcoal one. how's my photo skills? Hope that my pictures in the right column is all ok.be back soon.

Just finished watching ' Star Wars ' on Ch 5, one of my all-time fav movie. Recently re-mastered, the show still intrigues me. First of, I would like to wish my Dad a happy birthday. thanks for all you have done. Went to ChinaTown Point for lunch to celebrate. Saw Wayne , my younger cousin who is in BMTC, and boy, has he slimmed down. Great Job ! keep it up. But before that, I went to Han Wen's church again. Was supposed to meet him but last min . he was not feeling well. ' Dear FATHER, please help Bro Han Wen have a speedy recovery .' Still went for the service which talked abt Nehemiah . Went to meet Alf and Pishu after my family outing and soon was joined by Jim too. Wanted to catch a show but time did not permit, so played pool or a while at Marina. As for yesterday, I think I kinda overdose on chicken. From Chicken wing to Sausages to Satay. That were the main food stuff at Jenny's BBQ. Will try to load more pictures soon. Got one showing yesterday's sunset. Had another one on the burning coal, looks nice. hmmm....Wonder if Lava is interested to see. Shun Mei said that she uploaded hers liao, maybe will go and take a look. Tmr going back to camp, yet again the weekend passes so fast , and like what Viz Sir said in his blog; (As qouted) ' every soul yearns for them and many souls lost them again by the time of sunday moon. ahh.. weekends.. many times too often, we horded our evanescent weekends with trucks of activities driven by wheels on fire.. only to find that weekends are like incense .' Thou I enjoyed my time during the weekend, this enjoyment is only temporary. What would be a permament solution? i wonder.

Really feeling very pissed today, even thou it is the start of a new day. Got called to asked why I'm on Off and not on duty. It's a long story and a confusing one if I'm going to write it here. Don't know why it is always like this when I'm on Off , this happens to me all the time. Why am I the only one who gets this kind of S@#* all the time, and not others. Really thinking of asking for a transfer again. Yes, that thought was in my mind for a long time too. I was told that duties starts next Tuesday, but they gave me today. They say that I will be orientated this week, but they didn't because of the vehicle status of the ambulance. They say that they will replaced my duties with another colleague. Told them that I got something on today, they say ok. I had checked thru all areas of consideration before making the decision to take my Off this morning. So why do they say that I still need to report to camp. Is this so type of test that HE is trying to make me take and see if I pass my test. hmmm.... HE only knows and the answer too. Need to go out later on to buy some presents. a lot of people's birthday coming up this week. Will be spending quite an amount. Anyways, watched ' Underworld ' with Alf and Mr J at Suntec. a So-so movie. a dark show to be exact. It seemed to me that the show is like a war of 2 types of people rather than 2 different kind of species. The rich high class socialites and the street-roaming thugs. you say? Got an interesting email from my sis. It's a link of how well is your eyes. Click urlLink here to try the quiz. ( good for those who like photography)

yeah, tried another different route to go back home. This time took the Express bus at Bukit Batok , only to find that it would take abt the same time if i took bus 196 or 14. well, at least it was a different scenery. Tommorrow will be finally orientating on the L/R Ambulance. Will be a whole day affair. Furthermore, it is also finally payday. Really broke, so it feels so good to have some cash. Added more pictures of me past and present. Some of my favourite pictures, which u can also find in my urlLink picture album link . ok, gtg... be back to blog soon.

Suppose to do from next Tuesday onwards but my staff put me on Sat, the day i want to use my long weekend. Furthermore, there is no ambulance for me to orientate on . very F*@# up .... Don't know how la. On the bright side, i finally managed to put a picture of myself up. It's one of my fav. of me with me in my long hair and so 'cute' smile hahahah....

Just decided to take the longer way back home today, took the bus 196 then changing to bus 15 at Parkway. The whole journey took exactly 1.30 hrs to complete. Was treated to a cool lightning display by Mother Nature on the way. Everything seemed to go in slow motion. After half an hour in the bus, I was still only at Commonwealth. Listened to Y.E.S. 93.3fm while on the bus. It was a good time to just ' stoned ' and look at what was going on. Be it the anxiety of people rushing to go back to the enjoyment of others sipping coffee at a near by coffeeshop. It was definately a good ' to myself time ' which i hope i will have more to come. Have to say a Big Apology to my Red Cross friends esp to nutfairy for not being able to attend her 20th birthday. Doing Ambulance duty this month. And it so happened that most of the days I'm on duty, I got some outside appointment. Talk abt ' Suai '....The only job point is I stay in for 2 nights and the next day is off and the cycle continues. Another news is that I will be going for the Driver Class I course at Sembawang Camp. hmmm.... long time since I last went there. Wonder if I will see anyone I know.

argh!... down with the cold and blcked nose.... what a way to enjoy my leave. so tempted to go report sick haha. And for your info, I overslept today because of the rain and missed my walk. haiz Came back from town just now after meeting up with Jim and Michael at Suntec . Had a good sharing session with them on how Jim could improve on himself. People have been avioding him because of his attitude. I admit, I would be just like anyone esle and just leave him to rot by himself . Esp for all the things he done to me. Out of Pity, I trying my best to guide him back on track. watched ' the Italian Job ', my 3 movie in as many days. Was a pretty well filmed show, with shots from Venice. a place where i always wanted to go. Had lots of action too, with high speed chases with Minis. a show that you should watch. The weekend is finally over for me and it's back to work tommorrow. the much needed break was a good de-stress-er. Thou mother nature played tricks on me , I enjoyed the company I spent with and the things that i did.

wah, so fast already 1:30am .... luckily today I'm on leave...Cannot tahan in camp liao. Anyways, I really liked to thank Brother Han Wen for following me to come to his church service, his is the Bartley Christian Church , as well as to his cell group session. Much Appreciated. May the Lord protect you and look after you as you go for your teeth operation. the Service was an enjoyable one, liked the atmosphere and the people who i got to know. Such a lovely church. It was a more matured level of service, singing of hymns followed by a talk by one of the senior pastors before closing the day with a prayer. As for the cellgroup, we took a bus to Nee Soon to Han Wen's CGL's house. spent abt 2 hours there. friendly people i got to know. Was really a comforting experience. Thought that i might feel awkward at first. One discussion we had was ' how you do define success ?' let me know your comments. After that, I went to meet Alf at Tampines mall to watch another movie, ' Turn Left Turn Right ' . Since he wanted to watch it and that I didn't mind watching it again. Reached home after the show at abt 9:30pm. turned to HBO channel and watched ' the Last Castle ' starring robert Redford . a well filmed film. and you could sense what the motive of the film was. It was that you need not have authority to have power. But you have the power to authorize people. ( as in army terms, you need not be commissioned to lead a battlion, but you have the power to lead one ) ok, gtg... wanna catch the sunrise later. Missed walking by the beach, hope it will not rain later.

It's pouring cats and dogs.... came back at 11pm. Walked from Parkway all the way back in the rain. Had a sudden urch to do it. Maybe I was trying to enjoy my first Weekend proper in almost 1 month. But it was almost not to be , my MT Line called me to go back camp to go drive for detail tommorrow morning at 5:30am. which is like I do not need to sleep tonight then lohs... so told them i can't go for it. Earlier on, had detail in the morning to early afternoon. After washing up both the car and myself, i took 189 & 106 to orchard. Went down to find Jenny's present. Alf, Shun Mei, Weilun and Jim joined me , one by one. Got persuaded by Alf to watch ' American Pie , the Wedding ' And boy, it was worth the money, very comedcal . All i can says the show gives new meaning to the pharse ' Eat Shit '. Events to highlight since Wed is: 1.) went to a volunteer meeting at HQ on thurs. felt it was a bit waste of time because i kinda expected who will be there and who will not. Also, i had a suspicion that what will be said during the 1 hour session. 2.) Fri, wanted to go for a meeting at HQ but due to time constraints, i cannot make it. So ended up sms-ing nutfairy and jim to see of they wanted to meet up. Alf called me then asked if I wanted to eat out. So met him too. Ended up saboing him to get nutfairy to give him a balloon in No. 4. ;p 3.) Val bought a fighting fish for me. naming him grumpy because it looks grumpy in the small container. hahaha better be sleeping liao, meeting Hanwen early to have follow up session cum service and cell group meeting at his church. have a good nights. ( really broke , may fast to save money, waiting for next fro...haiz)

Happy children's day for those who are young at heart. ( i know i'm not, dun't want to lie to myself ) Had just finished going thru my emails and checking out my friends' blogs. Today was another islandwide roaming day for me. Places like Ponggol, Serangoon, Kaki Bukit, Tampines, Paya Lebar, Nat'l Stadium was interesting to drive around. Didn't drive there much so far so it was quite an eye opener.Went to my Grandmother's house for dinner and saw Mel and Girish , a sec sch friend , on the way there. Yesterday, after camp, went to meet up An Qi Lin, Lava, Ek , mocha and Xue for dinner and Coffee. Olio Dome was our Round 1 stop where we had pizza, fries, calamari and wings. Round 2 was at the Big 0 resteurant with coffee and cake waiting for us there. It was also Mr Ang's birthday. Best wishes to him. As i was saying, it is the start of the new month, with new beginnings. No more are the days of duty drive for me, now it is duty ambulance. But with that, this comes new responsibilities. luckily this month i only have 1 weekend duty. which means i will be trying to burn my weekend doing stuff that i have long never touched / done. The world is like a box of chocolate, they say, you don't know what to expect. Well, expect the unexpected for you can never judge a book by its cover. In my 22 years on this earth, I met so many different types of characters from my time in sec sch and poly, to when i'm helping out in my red cross to even my working experience at Pizza hut and in the army. there is one thing i know, you can never trust anyone even yourself. I know i may be sounding a bit out of the point but i think you get what I'm trying to say. Life is fulls of ups and downs, you can depend on familyand friends to be there to assist you, but ultimately, it is yourself that has to do the thing.

Haiz, why does time fly so fast when you are having fun. Today after i gone back and wash up, I went to meet Pishu to look for a birthday present for our dear Brother Alfian . Searched thru Beach Rd, Suntec before finding the ideal one for him at Millenia Walk . Cost abt 80+ but i think it is worth it. Proceeded to TKSS for the unit's bbq. Found the juniors going out to get the food items from one of their house. Once that was over, we headed back and started preparing for the bbq. Enjoyed myself with the food, company and entertainment that was lined up. sabo-ed a few people with cream but i got my retribution too. Well, it was fun. Was even rewarded with a token of appreciation by the teacher. it was a small Hp holder in a heart shape. okays, it is way past midnight. before I forget, Selamat Hari Raya Aldifitri to all my malay kawans .......

yoz, I'm back from my duty off n soon I'm going back to camp. Just came from HQ, had a super long meeting abt our district camp which is just 3 weeks away. Was actually surprised that Broz turned up. Found out that he was not well but still wanted to come. Bought him an advanced birthday cake in case i don't see him these few days. Anyways, Also managed to print out my own namecards at Bras Basah. Went to Bugis to window shop while waiting. Had lunch with Mei too at her work place after i book out this morning. think the next time you will hear me is either on Sat( i doubt so) or on Tues ( Hari raya) . take cares.

The quiz below was from Dorl. hee... not sure if it is true or not. got back from Jurong Not long ago. Had dinner at Jurong Point after getting activated. was called up by an automated system at around 2pm+ before proceeding to my MPH to register. only managed to leave at abt 5pm until all personnel was accounted for. This was my first such mobilisation. my codename was ' Poison Ivy ', just like the villianess / plant. Anyway, tommorrow is going to be a long day. Helping out at PRCL at Haw Par Villa . After that, I'll be rushing to my Grandma's birthday dinner. Going to surf the net now n be watching some tv. Catch you soon. Oh ya , starting my ambulance duty for real these 2 weeks, so that means only every 3 days then i may blog. Take care!

You should be dating an Aquarius. 20 January - 18 February Your mate is communicative, thoughtful and caring. Though he/she can be tactless and rude and sometimes self-interested, he/she enjoys the intellectual experience of sex. urlLink What Zodiac Sign Are You Attracted To? brought to you by urlLink Quizilla

on 24 hours standby this weekend because of Mob Manning . Suppose to report back to camp within the hour once they give the signal. I wonder when it will be? I pray that it is not on Sun as my Grandma's birthday is on that day. Tommorrow still got run so lucky that i can book in civilian. Got so many programmes this 2 days but because of this standby, I'm not able to commit myself to any as yet until the event is over. Good thing my stuff are all ready. Just need to go back, scan my 11b n report back to Mt Line. hope that it is fast and easy. *crossed fingers*

I'm back and yeah, n had a fruitful Day Off. Started by getting my hair trimmed at Eunos, followed by getting my new Nets card done at Parkway. Proceeded by going down to HQ to have lunch with An Qi Lin, Shannen, Huang Chiet, Peter, Richard n Dor . Took the expressbus to Tampines Mall to look for an old poly friend. Had a photo-taking frenzy on the way there. Experimenting with different effects and modes. Will show them to you pplz soon. Managed to find her after a long search and chatted briefly. the next stop for me was Bedok. Went to find Jim to see gow he was doing. Saw Nutz working at her outlet. Stayed there till abt five before heading back to Parkway to ' ling kopi ' and more picture taking. The night is almost over n soon it's back to work. Luckily I've got a medical appt again to can leave camp early. If I'm lucky and time permits, Might be able to send Pandaz off. oh my, it's really getting late, and the bed is calling me to it. Nights!

Went to meet Lava after work just now to go SP. Checked out an education fair that was on, picked up a lot of phamplets on various courses. think abt my future right now. Things like should i study overseas or to stay local? To do the same type of course as before or try something new. The road is getting to the end, it's almost time for me to choose. Where will i end up at? Had satay chicken Rice with a col sugarcane juice for dinner at Clementi central. And boy, when my stomach is hungry, it tasted even better. treated lava dinner for accompanying me. Might be meeting him up again tmr. Maybe to the gym or something esle. After that, in the evening, Will be having dinner with Wengz, Weiji, Xuanhui n Nutfairy before watching matrix Revolutions . hope there will be no glitches...heee... if not can ask for money back.

oh man, it's only wed and I'm already starting to feel so tired . Last 2 days had been physically exhausting. Had my Ambulance orientation, then went for detail, Went driving around to homevisit and even went for a recovery. All in these 2 days. Like tommorrow, I might even have to stay in because of a evening detail. MT line is short of drivers right now and most of the ' old birds ' are suffering. The only bright side of these 2 days was visiting my alma mata, Broadrick Sec to visit the Red Cross unit's campfire. I think that would have been my 15th campfire in my last 8 years. Wengz sms-ed me yesterday to say tt Weiji asking of want to watch Matrix Revolutions on sat. This , is not the movie I'm waiting for, the one I would kill for will be ' Return of the King '. LOTR rules!!!!. 5 more days to pay day , I cannot wait. my 2 claims is coming in. Huuray!!! my third claim can be submitted by end of the month as now i'm currently short of only 300+ km. Should be able to cover these few days. Anyways, Just want to say that in recent weeks, i may not blog too often because this month is an alert red period for my unit. 24 hours recallable. well, Just have to bear with 8 more months liao. by year end, I will be able to count down properly. Hee!

Watched one of my all time favourite trilogies - STA R WaRs epsiode 5 on Ch5 just now. it never cease to amaze me with their special effects and awesome filming. Today, spent the whole morning at Han Wen's Church. went for the service as well as help them out as ushers. After that, I went down to Parkway to kill time before meeting Weilun up for Kill Bill . a pretty lame, funny and bloody show. That's why it is RA. Yesterday, had a long weekend because i finished my course early. Met up Lava and Huang Chiet for a gym session at CCk Sports hall. Had lunch with PS and then took a bus to see my sister's exhibtions. Shirley joined us over there. This was followed by a mini photography trail till we reached funan. That was where we went our separate ways. As for Fri, during course, we learnt how to operate the crane and winch of a 5 ton. In the evening, i rushed to meet the rest at HSA. Managed to wear my costume for awhile before the event ended. Tommorrow , will be going back to Clementi, feeling a bit reluctant because that means more driving. oh well, better rest now. by the way, i added a new link which i hope you guys will visit. It is an online photo gallery with pictures from lava, shirley and myself. click at ' urlLink bringing still to life ' . :)

Spent time with my sister to watch ' Looney Tunes ' 3.) 28th , went to campsite to help out at the East West Link camp. enjoyed the ' superstar ' performances of the emcees and the campfire. 4.)

feeling really terrible today.... having quite a bad case of the gastric pains. Felt like throwing up on the train but thank goodness i didn't. Went to report sick and all i got was some tabulets to take 3 times daily. Anyways, the New year is over just like that .... nothing much changes in the last few years. only 1 thing and 1 thing only, our family is leaving the house much much later from previous years. did my fair share of snacking on goodies, *not sure if my stomach paid the price of been greedy* as well as visiting my relatives. Met up some Red Cross pals in the weekend to visit thou at one place i lost abt $5 at a game of mah jong. Did enjoyed myself and now it's time to get busy. Saw my next month forecast and boy i guessed correctly. Arrowed for Ambulance duty. that 2 days in camp , 1 day off procedure for the whole month. at least, i can save some $$$ while in camp. ICT starting tommorrow, going for orientation with the NSmen. Wonder where we be going this time. Quite a good sign that i'll be at medical centre instead at Mt Line for the next 3 weeks. Also received a call from one pal of mine regards to some Red Cross news. He was thinking of getting me to hold an appointment role for one major event coming up. Told him sounds fine but my schedule might clash. Well, actually got more things on my mind to voice out but i definately need a rest for the 'butterflies' in my stomach. it has been hard travelling with the vomitting feeling in your gut.

Just finished clearing and cleaning up my room for the new year. this was however at the expense of my sensitive nose. * think i used up to 2 boxes of tissues* The room looks still the same, actually wanted to shift the furniture but lack and time and manpower. The good thing is that i cleared lots of old notes and docs and rubbish dating back to almost 10 years ago. Threw most of my sec sch and poly notes that was stockpiling at one corner. Used abt 10 rubbish bags to dispose my stuff. The place seems neater but is taking the same amount of space. duh!. Well, at least it was worth the leave i took to clear my room. sad thou, that my day is not completed because i can't go out to pay my hp bills or finish buying my New Year clothes, thanks to the rain. Lacking one more shirt and a pair of Jeans. Hope got time to buy tommorrow..last day. The highlights for the week gone by was: 1.) my Grandpa's birthday on last Wed, held at his fav resturant at Marine Parade. 2.) my MTL had a bbq cum chalet at costa Sand at East Coast on Sat. Most of my colleagues came but i only stayed for a while. 3.) yesterday , went back to ULu Pandan CC for the 2nd pt of the talentime. I have to say that the cadets' creativity and artistical talents never stop to amuse me. I saw some of the most realistic acting in my life by someone so young. maybe they shld try Singapore Idol auditions. heee Will have more things to post soon.

Actually wanted to say lots of things but decided to postponed it to a later date. Today was not my best of days. Had a sudden attack of sneezes this whole day, think my count so far was close to 50. * is that bad?* oh man, and to think that the world is getting sicker by the moment with all these epedemics coming up. Also got the news that i had to be in Nee Soon by 6am tmr morning is not helping me either. Eap since it is going to be my grandpa's Bday. Already missed my last 2 grandparents' BdAys, and if i'm not able, it is going to be a hat trick. Well, I guess, it is up to the Lord to show what is installed for me. i admit that i'm not the type of person who can concentrate well and really appreciated my Broz Han Wen for guiding me in my journey in realising Christ. It has been an Up-and- Down struggle for me because i have been lagging in my weekly trips to churches and my reading of the Bible. Thank you Broz for your consent and your detemination in leading me to the right pave. God bless.

hmm.... couldn't think of a title for today's blog. This past week had been an interesting journey. Went back to my old unit and saw lots of changes since i last step in. Met old friends there and shared a joke to two with new ones. those 3 days went by so fast. Just like this is almost coming to the middle of the first month of the new year. took over duty on friday for a sick colleague but was satisfied because i wanted the long weekend. The weekend was mainly focused on my red cross committments for the schools' Sec 1 CCA open houses. Wore my white U for the first time in almost 6 months. a bit tighter now...hahaha time to lost weight! Yesterday, went to Ulu pandan to see the future idols of Singapore. It was Talentime again and it was inspiring to see so many talented cadets. Using their skills and the charm to woo the judges. a pity that i'm not unable to see the second part of the show next week.. haiz... nvm..... telling my self that only less than 170 absolute days left to ORD!....hahahaahha

today is feb 29. a day that only appears once in every 4 years. shldn't it not be quite a special day ? Not for me. It is not that i don't appreciate it but these few weeks doing ambulance duty made me feel that it is just an ordinary day. Only entertainment was going to meet a few friends for cycling in the afternoon. Might be watching tv later on. Just like any other sunday. But I'm really glad that the end is over, that means 1 more month closer to the Big 3 letters. give me an 'O' , 'O' ! give me a 'R' , 'R' ! give me a 'D' , 'D' ! what does that spell? ORD, ORD , ORD loh. ;p

Yeah, the district footdrill competition was a huge success. thought that everyone did their best thou as expected there was the occassional hiccups. Rushed down to CHIJ STC as soon as i could that day. Missed most of the actions as I was the score tabulator. So was stuck at the classroom area. Saw a few faces that i have not seen for a long time too. Old friends and teachers that i used to work with. My, hasn't time fly? After the event, I accompanied some of the juniors to Swensen's to celebrate a few people's birthday coming up this week. And what a meal it was. my pants almost burst .( OopS .... too X-rated..hahaha) Anyway, at least one event is down for me this year. But it is the start of many to Come. ACOC, VI Programme, World Red Cross Day and Nat'l Day. It is coming to the end of the month, can't wait for pay day again. really low on $$$. How to survive after ORD? been saving up but it is still below $S1K. nights!

yeah!, got my hair really short today. i lalways like my hair like this. save money on shampoo, water. hahhaha. ......out of point! Partly in preparations for this Sat's District Footdrill Competition . This is the start of a few Red Cross events in the year. Wonder if I got enough leave or off that i can use or that i can even use or not. Anyway, today i also went back to Broadrick , my alta mata. Helped Evelyn to supervise & train the cadets for the coming competition. Was a bit disappointed in the way they are behaving , half of them are not really interested in putting any effort in the training. haiz. i think the 'kids' are too pampered or too well off. recently, there is a trend of pri sch students carrying Nokia phones like 6610,8310,7250,etc... and esp with the camera too. My time, i only got my pager after sec 4. and only upgraded it after i finish poly. Don't say that i'm been paranoid but i really wonder if the students really know the meaning of hardship. take our grandparents, they still teasure the things that they bought, even when they are worn out and old. my grandma had a heated argument with my mum when she almost wanted to throw away her old cupboard. well, shall try not to dwell in the past and look into the future. the future looks bright. Best wishes for me and you. Good Nights!

hmm... long time nv blog . need to find the right momentum to get it done. Had a good long coffee session with Ah-Lun, Frances and Jenny at Coffee Bean. Just like last week, it was a worthwhile ' talk cock ' ( pardon my language) the 3 above phrases were off from a book which Weilun bought called the ' Book of Answers '. as we sat, we each took turn to think and ask a question, then flip to a page of the book and that will be the answer to our question. Quite an interesting experience. This 2 weeks has been busy for me, with my ambulance duty in camp, using my Off days for either red cross stuff ( esp since the District Footdrill Competition is this Sat.) or meeting my old friends like Weilun, Pishu, Jenny, Frances and Shun Mei . At this moment in my life, I'm heading for a milesone. Soon part of my army days will be over and i need to look ahead. Have already confirmed that I will be redoing my Dip at TP. went to the Openhouse and asked a few questions. There is a few obstacles in this area which i got to work out. Just pray that the Lord will guide me in this, as i have trusted and believe in the things that he can do for us. More news soon. God Bless.

yeah... my dinner tonight is 6353535 aka pizzahut. Had a sudden craving for either sushi or pizza. Decided pizza becoz it was more filling. Surfing the net now, doing some testimonials for my friends via friendster . Just doing that becoz that is basically nothing esle much to do right now. it is interesting really not how many friends you got, but rather how many people really know you exist and treasure you being here on this planet. Actually found so long poly friends, Red Cross friends and other friends from here. on the subject of friendster, while on duty last 2 days in camp, my army pal Tham and I surf the net and so happen that i went to my friendster account. We actually discussed this interesting point that I was actually interested to find out the reason too. He saw that most of my friends were of the opposite sex( abt 75% ) and he asked why i had so many female friends and I'm still single. AHAHAhaa.....true and amazing right? anyone got a clue? coming to the end of the month, and soon it's April. one of my most dreaded month in my driving career. It's inspection time and there are lots to do. heard that i'll be pulled back to my MTL so now my pre-planned schedule is in a mess again. This month is a dreaded month becoz no one plan take leave or Off ( unless it's on duty ). So i'm in a cloud on my schedules for the next 4 Sats ( all dates I got a Red Cross event ) today, watched Scooby Doo 2 with a couple of old friends. haven't met them for almost 2 months liao. everyone is so busy, it's so diffucult to get all. Pretty much enjoyed the whole show, lots of computer graphics and action. No one can deny the antics of Scooby, Shaggy, or Vilma ( is that the correct spelling ) , their innocent blunters created much havoc in the town of Coolville ( what a town name ) . a definate Must watch.

Stuck in camp for the whole weekend. feeling pretty bored and sian right now. Played with my friendster and did some testimonials for my friends. I just hate Sundays. there is nothing much on TV in the afternoon . ONly waiting for a Bug's Life later on. been Pretty busy the last 2 weeks. From the ACOC trainings, to the VI camp to my NDP internal trainings to the World Red Cross Day preparations. On top of that , my ambulance duties which has seen mi going to NUH once in every 3 days. And the waiting time there is like ..... uncommendable. Today is the Nat'l Footdrill Competition . Wonder how it is going on. This is the first time in my 6 years in HQ that i missed the competition. Shall call one of the rest to find out the results. Hope there is some surprises. Down with a slight cough and blocked nose recently. been feeling not too gd lately just recovered from cough, flu and a sore throat last week. Maybe it is the medical centre. pretty busy these few days because of the exercise and what Happened to Tekong. Kinda silly right? 3 guys fleeing to Tekong with only 1 pistol. There is like 5,000 + people in Tekong, X no. of M16s, SAR21s , SAWs in the armouries. thank God thou that all 3 men were caught. Almost got activated because of it. Actually was wondering if the loot is hidden in Tekong. Suddenly the recruits having field camp , then dig the trench and saw the loot. hahahaaha... ok.. talking rubbish already. duh! Looking for motivation these days, seriously lacking it. Anyone can help?

Finally can managed to find some time to check my mail and rest. Today has been my most busiest day at the Medical Center to date. Sent 7 reservists to NUH starting from 11:30am to just now abt 9:00pm. Luckily managed to get some bite over there, if not , i will be one hungry and angry driver. Saw someone whom i have not met for a long time, nutfairy . She was waiting for her medical appt at NUH too. Didn't chat long because i had to be with the medics and the reservists. Will be booking out tmr, yeah.. can go and settle my NDP and World Red Cross Day matters at hq. might be meeting lava for lunch at Beach rd after i go and source for my log stuff. oh man, i stink. can smell the odour coming out from my no.4 Uniform. Sad thou, i cannot change to my admin tee because one of the silly medics, i think , took it to play games when i was gone. *^&(&%*.... these 2 weeks going to be very tight on my schedule, rushing to NDP trainings , meetings and events after booking out of camp.So if i do not blog, pai seh la.

still in camp now, leaving pretty soon to meet Mei and mike at Suntec. After that, will be going down to Costa Sands East Coast for Freddy's bday. And I still haven't gotta him anything yet. Let's see if there is something that i can pick for him. These few days outside of camp have been busy with frequent trips down HQ to settle the NDP trainers list and the World red Cross day log stuff. Going to be a tiring 2 months for me. And esp from my army pals and family, they wondered why i do all of these hings for. Is it for the money, the experience, the company or etc..? and my answer to them is abt 1 word: PASSION. my love in doing these things that can and will bring a smile to others. That was the main reason why i am still so actively involved in the RCY. It is my pleasure to make people smile and that is why i chosed to do Volunteer work. anyway, it's abt time i leave. till we next meet.

haiz, can you believe tt lightning struck thrice & not twice to my colleague and me. for the 3rd time in 3 months, 2nd in 2 weeks tt Ops was activated when both of us were doing duty. first was the Tekong incident, then last week's tragedy and then yesterday's disaster. why has so many things have happened in this first third of the year. is there any meaning to all this? today on my super long weekend. my first in a long time. that's the gd news. the bad news is that my application to TP results are back and it was unsuccessful. pretty sad abt it but i guess i got to move on. now considering the other possibilities. from going to try SP, NYP, NP 's diplomas in business, to going to private uni or even working. i think thou i will have a short break first, then work and study pt time. Waiting to discuss with my dear family abt it first before i make one of the most important decision in my life. well, if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. That's all i think i can right now. Have a good May Day. ;)

You are a Duke! Honourable, Courageous, Just! You are the voice of reason against tyranny, a leader among men, and you fight for what is right. After the King, (and Prince) you are the most noble of all nobles. With your charisma, strength, wisdom, and ability to gain respect & loyalty of others - you have risen far in life or will rise far. You live for what is right & just. Honor and morality are very important to you. You are the King's right hand and the one all other men look upto after their King.

2 more duties / 3 more days to the end of Apr. tt's means no more Ambulance duties. 'freedom' !!!!!! Not exactly ya, still got to suffer for abt 1 more month before I can enjoy myself. Not to mention my planning of the things to come. I.e. my future. things seemed so good for me so far and I really have to thank the LORD for making my journey in 2PDF a smooth one. Pretty Fortunate that I didn't get activated for 2 OPs cases; the Tekong and Nicoll Highway incidents. Also very grateful for not getting all the difficult and 'dirty' details within the last few months. Lastly , getting to meet some many wonderful friends who had been there with me as we suffered together during duties. okays, enough of camp. Now to Red Cross and NDP. Last Sat's SC training went well with only a few hiccups. Spirits were high before and after the trainings as both cadets and instructors enjoyed themselves. They Sung, and cheered and Screamed to their hearts' content competing with the fellow UGs at Khatib Camp. The Actual training wise was a more stricter affair. Shall not comment much except that the cadets will have to work slighly harder if they want to represent the society. oh man, it's already 6+ . only left with another 12 hours to go before it's back to camp. Speaking of which; I wasted abt $25 today because i forgot to return my duty room's keypress keys which a colleague passed to me to hold onto. So i had to travel all the way back to camp to pass it back. to think that I'm on a tight budget, this situation has further strained my finances. oh well, that's life. full of surprises that no one can foresee. looking forward for my long weekend. seeya again. :)

yeah, that is what I 'll be going thru the next 2 weeks. these 2 weeks are jammed packed with things to do. From my NS Duty, to my other army committments to my Red Cross stuff as 2 major events are coming up soon. As usual, after book out today ( only managed to book out at 11am becoz something happened in camp) I went to HQ to settle some admin matters. Then i popped down to Beach Rd to buy a peak cap because of my new promotion. Followed by this was a trip to PArkway to buy some logistics from GIANT!. luckily, for tommorrow & Thurs I can book out because my MT Line needs us Class 1 drivers to orienate the reservists. Hope can finish early for these 2 days. Missed my comfort of home since doing my Ambulance duties. Ok dinnertime, TakE CAr3s!!!!

*****'sigh' **** only 4pm , still got abt 48 hours more to go in camp. luckily Sunday duty pretty relaxed, no one in camp except those on duty like me. not sure how am i going to survive this. Got to bear with another 2 months before i get into my 'mood' . Once this month is over, I'm pretty much relaxed because another 2 events will be thru. left the promotion ceremony and the WRCD celebrations to go before i can concentrate on my NDP . Pity I can't go for the 2 events because i'm still on duty. esp the WRCD one, because i haven't miss any celebrations for almost 6 years +. can remember the times at the Jurong Bird Park or even the Zoo when i first joined the HQ. I was so excitied over that day like i would for National Day. But the one at TAmpines Stadium 2 yrs ago was the most memorable. It was really the sort of the old fashion style parade with special guest performances. Thou I can't be there physically, i pray that I'll be there in spirit. and may the event be a huge success like yesterday's bazaar. Don't know what i should do now. Waiting for the 7pm movies to start. Maybe i might catch a few winks first.

yup!, that was my stall's name at the Singapore Red Cross Society's International Bazaar 2004. Held at the S'pore Expo, it's the first time it was held indoors. And luckily it was, esp with the recent downpours and hot weater taking turns to run havoc in Singapore. Had rushed down from camp straight there . together with a few new volunteers, we run a stall 'Draw or Lose' . It 's a cross between 'Win, Lose or Draw' and 'Pictionary' where 2 public personnel will play. one would pick a card with something to draw and the other person would have to guess. Business was pretty slow , but it's ok. Because at least we are still making a bit to help the society. Was quite interesting to see the young children trying to draw different objects with some much 'skill' . kinda reminds me of myself when i used to like sketching. Lots of my cadets whom i taught before turned up and was actually having a ball of a time competiting with one another. Was also kinda 'Conned' by other cadets to give in to buy the things we were selling. from Biscuits, to cakes ; from games to play to even buying orchids. can you imagine that. cannot beat their sheer determination they have or the look of guilt i would have if I didn't buy from them. My lunch was Pizza from the Italian embassy while dinner was hot dogs from Hard rock cafe. Broz alf and Broz Law also turned up and we even took a gp pic as it was quite to see the 3 of us together for a long time because all of us are in camp. Sunday duty tommorrow or today in abt 15 mins. followed by Mon duty and Tues' work day because in camp in going on. My next off will be on Gd Friday. So till then , hope this is long enough.

the time is almost here.... can you hear it? the smell of my Pink IC is getting stronger by the day as May ends and June comes. The last 25 days of my army life is here. the final hurdle to freedom. The anticipation is great but the only joy will dawn on 26 June. the day I ORD . Can't wait for it man, for 2 yrs have i missed the sight of this handsome guy on the pink card. Hahaha (BHB) Anyways, I managed to move around without my cast.cannot put too much pressure on the foot yet and it still needs to be bandage up but the feeling of walking without the cast is pure joy. made a brief stop to Parkway to get my hair cut before i return to camp on Thurs. After that, i accompanied my mum to get my passport extended for my trip to Bangkok at the end of the month. Things are kinda looking up for the moment after a short fall, and as I saw in today's newspaper , a famous quote from Mr Winston Churchill; ' Success is going from failure to failure without the lost of enthusiam.' I totally agreed with what he said. In life , there can be many shortfalls but it is how you turn that shortfall into an opportunity that keeps us motivated. no matter what you do, where you do it, as long as you beileve you can make it, you will. Now, i must concentrate in getting my self well fast so that I can fulfill all of my committments for June.

has it already been 5 days since i had my foot in a cast. yeah it has. and thou i told myself that I should rest at home and recuperate, so call 'enjoy' my time at home. I can't help feel down. This feeling of been crippled, not been able to do the things that you want and can do comes down very hard . to think that i was going to be on leave by today to do my personnel stuff, this really SUCKS!.. the only reward i get out of this incident is the specialised care of my loved ones. I appreciate all that they have done for me these last few days. now i trully understand the feeling of being loved so deep. I often took things for granted and was kinda been brought up been the ' spolit-brat' . Quarrelling wif both my parents and sister at times, not even thinking that they may be facing more stressed than me. I have taken the few days to look back and see what are the things that i need to change and how am i going to change. The world doesn't revolve around me but I do. time to throw away all the past luggages and concentrated on the future. If i don't get things done, who will? I'm coming to the end of my NS liability and soon will be facing the harsh reality of the working world. hmmm.... tommorrow will be going for my follow up at CGH. wonder what will happen then. really dying to get this cast off me , man. such a kill-joy. think this lesson taught me to be less 'gay kiang' and be more careful of my old injuries. till we meet again.... seeya.

Silly..... silly...... that's the one word that best sums up my day today. the reason why? been kinda 'gay kiang 'ar ... and now my foot is in a cast. Fractured my right toe/foot in the late morning when i fell pretty hard on the floor while disembarking my 5-tonner at Safti Military Institute for an exhibition. At first ,it was a bit swollen only and i thought nothing much abt it. only after i was going to my Red Cross HQ for a meeting that i felt the pain getting worse. Stopped over to watson's to get some medications and bandage, however, tt didn't worked too well. my last resort was getting my parents to send me for an x-ray to confirm my suspicions. True enough at CGH, the specialist told me a had a small fracture at my fourth toe head. and had a cast done for me. And to think that i was going to clear my leave and offs by this coming wed. Not sure if i change them now.. also wonder if this is a blessing in disguise or what. somemore, i had previously fractured the same foot like 4 years ago? what luck......haiz! Now, I'm going to miss a lot of important stuff planned for these few days. from NdP training to my meetings and other committements. looks like i've got to rot at home for this whole week. darm it.. ok, need to rest liao.... those interested are free to pop down to sign my cast. ;)

hmmm... not sure if anyone esle heard of that before. but for NSFs and regulars, tt can be one thing. Someone is either going in (DB), posting out or the best of all........ORD! Today , went to Tuas Naval base for my dental checkup togeher with 2 other friends. Actually saw 2 old bunkmates of my Leopard section 2 at the place. they haven't changed one bit. lately, i have the tendency to meet people i have not seen for as long time. When i returned to camp, i went to look for the QM personnel to sign my clearance forms... luckily, we got most of them. so it looks like smooth sailing for my ORD. 38 more days to go, 16 more working days left. OrD , ORD, ORD Hor!

i kinda had this feeling that this blog is not going to survive soon. esp after my tight work schedule. i thought this month was going to be pretty much more relaxed as i'm going to clear my leave at month's end. i thought wrong. In fact it seems more busier than normal. Maybe in the fact that many drivers have ORD-ed already and so, we are a bit short of manpower. I have only just gotten back from camp not too long ago. and to think that i actually woke up at 4:30am this morning to report to camp. it's maddness ,man. Well, i have been telling myself that 'it's only 18 more workdays to go. you can do it.' hmm... last few days key pts: 1. Birthdays: Shun Mei, Wendy, Desmond, Shannen have celebrated theirs. Now it's coming to Eng Kee, Xuan hui , Huang Chiet n SPL. wonder if i will get to see them these few days. if not, i'll dropped them a message. 2. my grandparents' wedding anniversary. soo happy to see them celebrated their 61st anniversary and may they get to celebrate much more. God Bless them. 3. went for the NDP Mass briefing and saw a few familiar faces / okays, shall take a quick nap to recuperate myself.

just finished bathing. Had some old friends popped down for a mini bbq. reminising on old times and how much we have changed within the last 5 years. Other than the rest of the Red Cross Kakees, these 6 people are the ones who has known my Ups and Downs and they have always been there for me. I can gladly put an arm on them and say 'friend'. a pity that most of us are busy; the guys in NS and the gals working. So it was very hard to meet up often and normally it's me who does the arrangements. Decided to have the bbq at my place because it's a place where there are not much distrations and we can save a bit of money in this way. kk.... tmr another busy day .. I'm outta herez...

hmmm... can't today is almost over. Maybe it is because i woke at 12nn. Boy , was i tired. Yesterday's rehearsal was pretty bad, lots of casualties to look after esp because of the hot weather and the drills were more sloppy than last week's. Can see that the cadets are trying their best , however, it's sad to say that still not good enough to impress the SAF enciks. I'm still pondering on how to motivate them to give their best. seeing them now is like seeing them forcing themselves to do something that they do not like to do. then in the evening, something happened as a junior and I were going home. Have to say a real 'Sorry' to her for scaring her out. promised her it will be my last one. Anyways, tmr's my special day, but it seems going to be like any other day. got no special plans except in the evening while i'll be having dinner with my close family. Then after that, might be meeting up Angi and Ms Teo for drinks. Got no one special to accompany me or surprise me tmr but I'm fine with that. kinda used to this isolation thingy for these last few years. maybe u can say that i have a fear of committment now or just plain unlucky. But i beileve i will find the ONE soon ...... only the LOrd can tell. today's also a friend's birthday : ' Happy 19th Birthday , Gal!' ( if u can see this) it's time to go, sayonara......

saw this saying somewhere the last few days and it hit very close to home on me. As another chapter of my life closes, a new one begins to unfold. It's just one of the few surprises that Life brings into our lives. Changes for the better or worse , it's not up to us to decide , but we can help make these setbacks into opportunities. For there's a rainbow after a downpour. The week is almost halfway thru and I'm hope that it will move even faster. Cannot wait for my short break overseas. a time to destress from all my army and Red cross work committments. tonight got another meeting to attend to. can't beileve that i'm actually more busy during my leaves than when i'm Not. Argh! But i shall not complain too much. For this is what i like to do, this passion in my heart to do this line of work is one that i hope will never go out . that's why i'm still surviving all these while. until the next time, catcha ard.

hmm... doesn't this sound familiar to some. yes, it is. the song from last yr's marching contingent introduction. Already the middle of June, soon it's gona be the actually day. Later going down to Hq to settle more admin matters, followed which i need to go down orchard to get some things for a good pal of mine. His birthday is coming, only this weeekend. wonder what shld i get. Hopefully, tommorrow's training will be better than the last. The cadets are still not showing their full potential. Need to stick it in their minds that it's NDP and not jsut a parade. they got to show their best, show why Singapore is our home. write more things in the evening. gottta wash up .

The weekend has started for me already. Clearing my leave again tommorrow but I/ve still gotta go back camp to sign my Off pass. So fool misplaced the booklet after i had written on it. Need to get my changes in Offs signed fast so that i can enjoy my break from army. Praying hard that my camp pals find the pass tommorrow , if not, i really do not know what to do ya. Helping Huda and a few other cadets teach FA to a group of Primary sch students in the early afternoon. Will be doing some bandaging and teaching of the triangular bandage for the 100 + little ones. Oh Man! did i mention tt also got last min news that my NDP training is starting an hour earlier. So tempted to shout some vagularities at SAF for the last min changes buut i cannot be bothered. I have gotten used to these type of 'sabo' and is in fact a gd way of accessing how you can reposition yourself to make things for the better. True that the main concern is the welfare of our cadets, there are only 14-16 yrs old. they are not adults. Do you think they will listen to you if you ask them to have their lunch at abt 10:00-10:30am before reporting? i dun think so. This generation of cadets still need to spoonfeed them a bit before you can get them to know how to fend for themselves. Anyways, i'll feedback to the P&C of the NDp2004 abt these ridiculous changes. Hope the outcome of the circumstances is worth the while. After NDP this sat, I gotta rush down to campsite for another camp. In charge of Logistics again, maybe i shld do this as a busniess opportunity..who knows, it may even work... the camp going to last until Tues evening. What a weekend it's going to be. see ya in abt a week's time. peace out!

feeling pretty down & tired recently for no apparent reason. maybe it's just the stress of a hectic weekend coming up within the next 2 weeks. Energy level has come to a new low, esp after so many years, i think age has caught up with me. Must do something abt it. Need a real 'Perk-mi--up'. last few days have not been going out so often except the usual trip down to HQ to settle NDP & iwate stuff. these 2 projects already giving me a big headache. Must thank Shannen for assisting me in these. Tomorrow is Preview & in less then 11 days, we are celebrating our Nation's Birthday. Hope that transportation will be good. if not, I seriously do not know to send the cadets back & face their parents' wraith. a pity Law is overseas and will miss the Preview. oh well, guess that he should be enjoying his Summer camp there with the rest of the delegates. As for Iwate, they are coming in a week's time and still have to worry abt the home stay thingy. Popping down to schools in the morning to talk to a few YOs. then will have to rush down to HQ. Dorl invited a few of the instructors for bbq-cum-chalet @ east coast too . will see how the timing before deciding if we are gng down. luckily Mum let me have the car. Whew! may stay over night then rush down to Bartley to go for first / second service depending on the time i can wake up. Might be going down to Marina Area for the Fireworks display with a few others too on Sunday evening. but that's KIV till then. Bet there will be a full house everywhere as no one wants to miss such a display. gonna wash up & have lunch liao.. and ponder abt things a bit.. ** have i lost my purpose in life? can anyone tell me?**

'The Real Deal' - Actual delegates going. 'The Wannabes' - Hopeful Volunteers trying to get a last min invitation HaHaha... more pictures uploaded liao. This time was on the sending off of our RCY delegates going to Korea for a week. Had fetched Kenny & Kat from Tampines, parked @ T2 ( cost me $7/- for carpark! bah! ), went to BK to eat, saw the new volunteers, was joined later by Angeline, Shannen & the West Gang. Went to departures after that, saw more people there;( from cadets, to officers to family members & other HQ ppl ) Was such a sight. Ended up becoming the photographer for the day again. ( nv see the second pic; bottom one ) Was the only instructor not in the pic..haiz... nvm. Well, I hope Law & Angeline & the cadets enjoy themselves and know more abt Kimchi! hahah no la. hee ..just joking. Can't imagine already 3+am in the morning and i'm still in front of the comp. can't sleep ar..again. Anyways, sum up last 3 days stuff. 1. NDP on Sat was much better than the NE Show. SAF apologize to the students. food was better. Dorl popped down to see coningent. More pictures taken. Preview tickets passed to the cadets. ( left less than 2 more weeks ) 2. Sun dinner at Marsiling. Met up Han Wen from my old camp for a fellowship gathering @ one of the camp's DXOs' home. Was great to see so many familiar faces after such a long time. Shared songs & prayed for each others' burdens. 3. Yesterday, settled NDP matters at HQ thou Shannen was not there, did some work too. Had Camp meeting in the evening. ( Dec 1- 13, 3 camps that i may be involved in but can't confirm yet as sch schedule not out yet ) hmm.. think that was all. Future: tmr going to Hq to settle on the tickets issue. maybe see mood first then decide if I wanna go clear RCY room again.

Let them join us in not they will be waiting for a long time. Food esle ar.. sad to say that it's just like normal hawker food. Nothing so special. Cost us abt $10 per head for our meal so more... after dinner, we took a slow walk back to Plaza Singapore where we met Law. went to cafe cartel to have desserts. Yummy tall glasses of pure chocolate indulgence. Over there, Saw Serence & Liying, our RC juniors with some friends too. Isn't it a small world? Serene was celebrating her birthday... HappY Birthday Gal!. Law, ah-yin & myself ate and chatted abt stuffs until abt 9:30+. then i followed ah-yin to the MRT. today, I'm most prob staying at home... slacker ma.. but maybe gng to near by barber to trim my hair a bit. getting long again. some more, tommorrow 's CR got a photo taking session , need to present myself well. heehee... so better get it cut.. checking my mails & doing some surfing online to kill my time . So fast the weekend is upon us. was just getting over NE Show's dilemma when ' Bang' Sat is just a day away. okays , sufring time! byes

hmm.... just added some of my personal pics on my right sidebar. trying to bring back some happy memories now & forget the unpleasantness. will try to improve my blog further in the near future. actually dun know what to blog now. Just finished checking my emails & currently doing some testimonials for friends in Friendster. today was a pretty simple day. Had lunch @ miramar hotel with my grandparents & cousin. had a dim sum buffet, was quite alright i guess. for $11++ for all you can eat. Headed to HQ after that to do the Red Cross Rm. bought some paper & stickers to do up the cupboards. hmmm.... the place looks s o much neater now. think got to account for the stuff after the sorting of items. got home & saw a letter @ MDIS, application for course approved. I'll be schooling from sept onwards! hurray! tommorrow will be going back to Chai Chee Sec to assist my sister in one of her projects. Project EYe. an enrichment project for NA/NT students on photography but also teaching them abt responsibilities, value of learning , etc... pretty meaningful. okays, shld be logging off soon. i need to do things in the morning.

feet are still sore today. No thanks for Sat's NE SHOw. I beileve lots of angry parents must be cursing & swearing @ us or @ SAF. and I dun blame them. This was totally ridiculous. leaving SIS @ midnight? luckily we got Law, Mr Ang, Wilson Sir ( thanks sir, appreciated ) & myself dropping those cadets back to their door steps, if not how? Also wanna thank Dor maam , Hui min & the other instructors who had helped to coax the worried parents outside HQ before we arrived. still irritated by the whole thing esp. how SAF NDP Exco worked things out. okays, trying to be professional here... luckily we had a few pre-warnings by past OICs & senior officers beforehand. But this totally caught all of us by the blind side. And now because of Sat's incident, I got one ' casualty of war ' on my list. One angry parent has withdrawn his daughter from the contingent. And i beileve this might not be the end. But i'm praying that it is. We can't afford to have these situations hinder our performances & morale. The contingnent did a respective performance and i'm proud of that . They have improved so much since the first time i was them @ unity Sec in Mar. getting late.....betta rest well before i get my biological clock mixed up again.

hmm... today i had quite a fruitful day. Morning, i actually for the first time in 5 days that i was up by 7am... Hurray! because i had a follow up session @ CGH due to my fracture toe in May. can you imagine I was done in 5 mins after 1 1/2 hr of waiting... argh!!! and it cost like $30+....so expensive man.... after that, since i was still early, I decided to go down tampines to catch ' King Arthur '. Was pretty alright to me....maybe kinda slow at times and some scences kinda out of place. But Kiera Knightley is such a babe ( she has that X faxtor tt charms all )....and to think this young lady has done so many highprofile roles: Star Wars 1, Bend it like Beckham, Pirates of the Carribeans and now this... and she's only 19.... quite a highflyer. Then I went to meet Law and Kat @ PS. Anyways, we watched Brotherhood , a Korean war story. Full of emotions, and protrays the war sufferings of the main character as he was when the war started and after 50 yrs later. it shows the true meaning of Love, sacrifice, family bonding and the harsh reality of war. definately the better of the 2 movies today. And esp after seeing Brotherhood, it make me even more patriotic and NDP2004 gives me now a more personal feeling. We got to be prepared in a case of sudden disasters. Prevention is always better than cure and I 'll always willing to lay down my life for the safety of our homeland. This is Singapore we are talking abt, our Nation, our family & friends, OUR HOME!! !!! Today is already NE SHOw... left not much time to the actual day and i'm kinda nervous. ( Dear Lord, I pray to you that today's show will be a hit with the 100K+ pri sch kids and that our cadets do not show their fear or breakdown in the event . I also pray to you that there shldn't be any casualties and all of them, cadets & instructors will make our nation proud, Ahem! !)

the picture (top) was taken by Kenny at the Nat'l Stadium during the last NDP rehearsal. kinda brought back sweet memories from last yr's parade. I had a picture abt the same angle just like Kenny's (below). Dun know why i really feel so patriotic recently, maybe it's because of all the rehearsals and the fact that the actual day is only abt 4 weeks away?can't blame for tt. I even went to see the vcd that our old Enciks from last yr gave us. remembering things like the SARS period to the great performances by the Parade and Show segments. I beileve this year will be even greater!

hahah... me still cannot sleep so i editting some things on my blog. Feeling kinda Patriotic so i went to put this year's NDP song - Home. Sung by JJ Lin Jun Jie ( by hip hop and kinda addictive after a while)... heehee..and for those who dun know the lyrics, here u go. Home: Whenever I am feeling low I look around me and I know There's a place that will stay within me Wherever I may choose to go I will always recall the city Know every street and shore Sail down the river which brings us life Winding through my Singapore Chorus: This is home truly, where I know I must be Where my dreams wait for me, where that river always flows This is home surely, as my senses tell me This is where I won't be alone, for this is where I know it's home When there are troubles to go through We'll find a way to start anew There is comfort in the knowledge That home's about its people too So we'll build our dreams together Just like we've done before Just like the river which brings us life There'll always be Singapore (Chorus X 2) For this is where I know it's home For this is where I know I'm home

The weekend is minutes away from been over again. well, I think i had a pretty eventful last 2 days. So good tt this might be a long blog, depending on my mood. Let me start with yesterday's NDP training. actually wanted to have breakfast with the rest of the juniors but i decided to drive my sister to work first. by the time i reached HQ, it was like 11+. and it was raining... so got wet a bit. but who knew it turned out to be a shower of blessing. The cadets did put on a great show for their parents thou still with a few hiccups ( luckily not tt obvious , had no casualty too, 1st time ,man). Next week will be worse , a stadium full of noisy pri sch kids... hahahha. fianlly, managed to see the actual parade from the grand stand area, and what a view! Dun miss this yr's parade. dinner was also like ' worth the wait & sweat' . They Had 62353535. Pizza , drumlets and garlic bread. Not to forgot the Ice cream as well. so great seeing the whole contingnent enjoying themselves. They are beginning to motivate each other without the instructors needing to push them. But i think the moment for the day was while we were heading back. One of the juniors, whom shall not be named to protect his pride , while trying to bend down to pack some things for me had something unthinkable happen to him. He actuallly ripped his RC pants and it was a big one. luckily he reacted quickly enough. In the end , we had to send him back to HQ in the ambulance. Basically tt was it for yesterday. Today, i rose late. and found out tt my dear old 'daddy-O ' was under the weather & i had to take his place with my mum for 2 evening activities. firstly, we went to Victoria Concert Hall where her school band was performing. And i was impressed by their talents esp the saxophone player.It's no mean feat to do a solo in front of so many people. I also enjoyed the percussion group, always wanted to try learning the drums... so i took note of their band's drummer. ( i'm not buaya-ing la..duh! mi enjoy these type of concerts you know) After tt, I accompanied my mother for one of my RC senior's daugther's wedding. Saw a lot of senior ranking officers, past and present , at the hotel. And they all started abt the good old times and also what's the recent happenings over at RC & their own lives. Being the youngest amongst the whole table, I was dubbed as ' Young Man' who had to finish up all the remaining food. And to think, i actually heard tt my face came up on TV because they were covering the area opp Centrepoint for the news and so happened tt I just in front of them ( and i didn't know tt they were really filiming) okays, start of another 'work' week. Thou i'm unempolyed, I'm still much tied up with other stuff. I need a break!

Actually took this off from a friend's blog... becoz i really felt it close to my heart..Pls read it, it's so meaningful. ( xiao gua , i hope u dun mind) A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: 'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.' They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: 'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE. ' The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, 'After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?' The other friend replied 'When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.' LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND T O CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Do not value the THINGS you have in your life.. But value WHO you have in your life!

Today will be the parents' day , where parents can see what their sons/daughters have been training for the last 4 mths. wonder how the cadets will take the atmosphere.
