END of army...START of uni..!!!

Taking some time out just to update on the recent happenings!! Well,these few months have really been packed with events..from ending of army..to starting of school!!

ORD LO!!! Finally,i completed my national service on 8th june 2013. Got back what i have been looking for which is my pink IC!!! Well, actually on the day which i got my ic back..i didnt really feel anything special..to say the truth,it was just like a normal day for me..but i guess the 2years which i spent in army have changed me somehow..i will never forget the times spent during training days especially in bmt,when everything was so regimental and the culture was totally different from outside world.Lucky enough, i had a good company with good section and platoon mates! Scorpion Coy!! I was very lucky that i met really great people like chris,yi sheng(sec sch friend),fabian and my other sections mates.We really worked together throughout the times we spent in tekong.Although i went in earlier cuz of my fitness,i did not regret a single bit as the people i met there were really close and we shared a special bond as we cheered and motivate each other when the training gets tough! After Bmt,i went to sispec,mp command,paya lebar airbase before i settled down at changi airbase. The days spent in changi airbase was really fun and fruitful as the time i spent with the troopers or should i called brothers were really something for me to rmb! i made a handful of good friends and i learn alot from them as well. From the jokes we shared,the crap we talked,the training we went through and the laughter we shared,it wasnt something that can be bought with money and i really missed the time spent with them. To me,i felt that i had not really been a good specialist or a commander. As a commander,when the need arise,one should be able to hold the responsibility and make decision. For me,i felt that i wasnt confident enough in the way i handle things at times and i wasnt firm enough to make any decisions. Thus,leading to some things not done properly and causing the troopers under me to suffer with me.Nevertheless, i learnt things from the troopers and was motivated by their attitude towards their jobscope. Being a security trooper isnt an easy task at all,imagine standing at a place guarding for 6hrs straight...whther its raining or sunny...it takes a lot of perseverance and determination for them to complete the duties handed to them. Kudos to kar fai,yu hui,chunjie,si wei,lianjie,elroy,patrick,weijie,fabian,yanyang,zhenkai,kurt and many many more..really proud of them!!! Not forgetting the PCs' and specialist plus staff that i had worked with,i really learnt alot from them.

Moving on,i went for my holiday with afew of them..it was really tiring but fun! my first time taking an aeroplane and going taiwan for the first time!! Let the pictures in fb do the talking!

Next is Uni liao!! Went for the orientation camp which i did not regret going too..had a fun time and met really nice friends there as well..as a matter of fact,a few of us are still keeping in touch with each other despite the fact that we are studying different degrees! Peeps like sherdion,fred,mabel, that we mostly hang out with..to occasionally seen peeps like peiwen,xinyi,gerin,joey,nadine,carmen...all of us can still see each other in school at times :) Also, i met my pri school friend as well..Shi Qi!! hahaha...was surprised to see her during the orientation camp and after that,managed to meet her in school a couple of times as well..well..still can recognised each other..so still not too bad uh!...other than these happy times,jiu shi study and projects le..had never been so lost and stressed by projects since poly days..even in poly,the projects were much simpler and easier to conquer..right now in uni,after army..we all seem lost and dunno what to do for it..luckily,i have good mates like teh,kwi,fred and sherdion...they are always on the ball and knows whats going on..without them,i can say i am still lost somewhere..wandering around..like a lost kid!

Ever since i entered uni,i haven been really happy..partly due to studies and partly distracted by some other stuff...the kind of motivation i had in poly..i just cant seem to get it back for uni..the feeling of lost during projects or lessons,had not gone down well with me..i know i can do better,but somewhere i am still stuck in a unclear state of mind. Being distracted by other stuff isnt helping me at all..i tried really hard to ignore the thing and force myself to at least forget for a moment...but the more i try to resist,the more it came back to haunt me...since 6yrs ago, i had not have this kind of issue at all..because i wasnt interested back then and i was fully focused only on my studies...but now, i regretted that i had committed too fast and too early..talking to my close friends had helped a little bit,but most of the time..unknowingly,it just flash past my mind again & again...whenever i wanted to put a stop to it,i end up making the same mistake again...

Today shall be the day i really put a stop to the issue and be fully focused on my studies..my mum once told me in mandarin"na de qi jiu yao fang de xia". It was really a good quote and i always rmb this quote from her till now! So lets bid goodbye to the unpleasant stuff and say hello to the new things that is going to happen in future!! Additionally, emo isnt a nature in me..i cant stay emo for long..no matter what happens,i will still laugh and crap as usual...And yea, to my buddies and friends,"xin fu shi zhang wo zai ni shou li,bu yao qing yi fang qi!" :)

想到了第一次见到你
你有一种奇怪的魔力
我感觉到了自己偷偷想靠近你

想到了第二次见到你
感觉我并没那么高兴
因为我发现自己和你的距离

这是爱情还是你太美丽
让我作出不可思议的事情
我只知道我要看你开心
我什么都愿意 只要能够靠近你

我只好把我想说的话都放在心里
因为我只想要你开心

Half of 2013 had pass...=D

Alright peeps, half a year had passed...so what have u all been doing? hitting your new year resolutions this year? or are you still some way short from it! Neverthless,try your best to fulfil your resolutions no matter how far it may seem! =D
So lets take a look at my own resolutions...Quoting from the last post....
Lastly, some resolutions for the upcoming year! =DD

• Get into a degree that i am interested in =) (I have been accepted into RMIT degree in business management)
• Get my driving license before july =) (Will be taking my TP in july 15th)
• ORD smoothly in june =D (only 1 week left in my nsf life,hopefully nothing goes wrong!)
• Trim my 2.4km running to 10mins flat =D (Nowhere near the timing o_o)

Things i wanna do....=PP

• Go on a holiday with clique (Be it HK,Tioman,Phuket,Msia or Taiwan) ( Going to taiwan in june)
• Join a marathon run of more than 5km (Completed 21.1km Sundown marathon ^_*)
• Cook meals with clique,not just a meal..is alot of meals (In Progress)
• Take more photos with clique to keep as memories(In Progress)
• Explore new places like Bottle Tree park,USS,Gardens by the bay,Underwater Aquarium(In Progress)

So far,i have completed a few of my resolutions while some of it will take time such as my ord,driving and taiwan trip! But i am really glad that i managed to finish the 21.1km half-marathon as it was my first time joining and also my first time running such a long distance. As expected,my legs were real sore and cramps keep hindering my progress along the course of the marathon.After the 14km,it was practically run abit,walk abit and stretch in order to push forward all the way to the finishing line! But i never gave up and i saw people who really ran their hearts out,they were the heroes of the marathon,constantly pushing themselves on despite the cramps.Also,i was certainly stunned by the number of participants for the race and the females there were no joke either,manay of them really can run and they were much better than i was...=D kudos to them! Next up wpuld be the king fo the road which i joined in the 16.8km! It will be a different race as it is in the day,time to buck up and train harder! =D

Goodbye 2012! New Year Resolution For 2013! =D

Goodbye 2012! Its been a year of ups and downs...happy things,sad things...wonderful events,pretty memories...new friends,old counterparts...=D No matter what it is,it will just become a part of the memories in 2012! People always say look forward to your future,cuz you wont know what it holds for you at the end! Strive for what you want,be positive and fight for the things you love! i guess these few phrases are quite commonly heard but to do it is another thing! =D

Despite sending almost 1 and a half year in NS, i haven really thought of what i want to do in future! the logical thing would be to study in Uni,get a degree and get a decent job..blah blah blah! This would seems like a typical life of monotone person,while people will be hoping for a much enjoyable life with plenty of new things to try and just do whatever they want! But can they really do it? thats the question...For me, i've been sort of looking through what degree to study for with the help from teh and roy...we all know we want study business,but what kind of business and what uni do we apply for...thats the hard part...So far, RMIT & UOL seems the most likely destination that we will go..UOL will be a harder mountain to conquer as from what i heard,is the exams are hard and it would be fruitless if you just manage a 'pass' in your exams because it simply means that you are struggling through the course througout the year! Teh most likely would go for RMIT while roy will be UOL! I'm still undecided though with just less than a month before the registration starts....As for hao, it seems that he will start working instead of studying le...hmm...really things to ponder -_-! Shao ren had said he may apply for SIT..still thinking about it too! =D

Ohh well...lets move on! Updates about clique, Jean got attached le....happy for her too! To be able to find someone that love you and dotes on you,its a wonderful thing! =D Nutty is still in UK,but she receive the presents that we send over..so that means our effort of doing it late in the night on several occasions was worth it afterall! =D The presents just meant as a gesture that she will always be a part of us no matter what she goes and will always be on our mind! The important thing is that we must always keep in contact no matter how busy we are as i know as we grow older, we will have our own lives to lead..which means lesser time to meet up and have together! Having each other constantly in our heart is just as good as meeting up with each other =D

Lastly, some resolutions for the upcoming year! =DD

Yup! thats all for now! Will update again if i got the mood and time to do so! Hahahaha! And yea, i be spending my new year countdown in camp! Ohh MAN! =( Happy New Year People! =D  

Happiness is the key~~

I guess the most important thing now and in my life is to make sure that people around me, be it family,friends,buddies,loved ones or mates in camps...to be happy...Cuz being happy is all it really matters..as long as they are happy..the rest of the things can be put aside and be forgotten~~~

Brand New Experience!!

Well...this weekend has been an eventful one as i finally tasted the life of clubbing! Haha...must be a joke to say that it was my 1st time going to a club in 21yrs of my life so far..yea, it was my 1st time to club last friday...went to zirca & rebel with my camp mates..=D I had always wanted to see how it is like to be in a club..how people there are like..how things work there..and what it is like to be clubbing till the wee hours of the day~~it was certainly an eye-opener for me and a few of us...the first thing i almost did wrong was that i forgot to bring my IC along!! OMG! luckily,they accepted my ezlink card too...woosh~~~drank a couple of whiskey..then vodka too...its the 1st time i drank so much too..lol! i didnt dare to drink much after i can feel the slight effect of the liqour! =D went to the dancefloor with them too..actually, what they say is true...u dun have to dance well...cuz everybody is just dancing anyhow,anywhere as long as they are happy jiu hao =D The music blasting behind us too...!!! Oh ya, i also met my cousin at rebel there...she was working there which i didnt know at first..was quite surprised to see her there..hahaha! but heard from her, that day was her last day of work there! Guess i wont meet her at rebel anymore...abit ke xi.....

Ohh well, saturday was the normal routine of bballing!! played 3 full court matches in total..really really tiring..aches,cramps,scratches,bruises....but seriously, i am playing way too poor...simply like lost on the court..kept on running and running..but without scoring..like a headless chicken on the court..dunno what is happening too!! My fitness has been dropping like mad too..last time,running the whole court was nothing..now halfway through the game, i am panting like dog liao...like a cui nia! =(

9days ago, we sent nutty off too...dunno when she will be back this time! she said she be back maybe in june or july...but nothing has been confirm yet..alot of us she bu de her de..but no choice...parting & meeting are just part and parcel of life~~~jean will cfm miss nutty alot..time just flies too fast...to add to the misery of seeing one of ur best friend leave, my initial thoughts of getting a BB phone were smashed because they wanted me to pay 300bucks to change the contract..and 100plus for the phone..which may add up to 500bucks...like an insane only! Still dun understand how they work out the amount for my plan...sian sian sian!!! I guess no whatsapp for me liao...still think i can contact the rest through whatsapp when i am in camp..also best is can contact nutty or teh when he is overseas..but poof! there goes my hope...gonna be alone in camp till ord lo....=(

Reminders....

I h'v always reminded myself not to get involved..not to be drag into these kind of scenarios...to take a step back...sometime,somehow...the head dun telly with the actions...but no matter what, i am gonna pull myself out from that mess....

A brand new challenge awaits....

The start of this week really make me realise that i am human after all....for all the talk and smiles,what lies in between is truth...the things i did..how i did it...i didnt know where they came from...the tears in my heart...i felt ashamed.....=(

Well...i'm refering to the case where i forget to bring my parade boots to camp on book-in day! The week where it is the most important week..the week that boots is the most important..despite several checks,i forget to bring it to camp! -_-...really felt ashamed that i had to call home to ask my mum to bring it for me all the way from hougang to jurong..the duration and money spent on transport was certainly not a cheap one! I didnt know what i was thinking when i leave house before booking in..i had packed my boots together with the stuff that i gonna bring back to camp..somehow,i left my boots at home! Confused mind through the whole of last weekend...my mind sometimes in a blank..sometimes dunno thinking about what...wandering around and around! To make matter worse, i went into the wrong bunk after i got my boots from my mum! Seriously, my mind in a whirlwind....luckily, the rest of the week...i managed to be more focused...if not, something gonna happen in the parade which i know is not gonna be pretty as i was standing in the front roll...where a slight movement is enough for all the ppl to spot...

Good enough, i completed the parade without any mistakes! =D Hmm...my mum put the rank on me..i was both happy and worried...cuz i finally got the rank...but the rank comes with a heavier responsibility..am i up for the job? We shall see.....

Some happy things....clement is finally back in singapore! after so long...like ages since we last saw him....=DDD carter had his 21st birthday party too! hope he enjoyed the party and mature up after this...hahaha! =DD focus on the things he want..fight for what he want too! Now, i firmly believe in if you want soemthing..you need to fight for it! If not, the time wont come by itself!
