Woots. A busy hectic week finally ended yo.

Have to say Tuesday and Wednesday left me pretty pissed. Don't understand at all why the arrangement have to be like that. Like suddenly all the duties come to me. So was in a pretty bad mood when i came back on Tuesday night after the 1st segment in the day. Really felt like reporting it straight cos i feel that it ain't right at all. ARGH. 气死我了!

So Wednesday morning also pretty bad mood. Cos couldnt sleep well in that room at all + not enough sleep from all the things the previous day (and night) . But just decided to go for the march. So really struggled. Like seriously. Thanks and kudos to those that really encouraged everyone to move on. People like Jonathan =) And also to the s g t who helped me with my field pack as well when i was really struggling. Think its s g t jonathan as well! Haha. Looks like all the jonathans are nice people =)

Then Thursday and Fridays are good. In the sense that everything went on smoothly and nice. Yup. Have to say i really enjoyed holding the appointment, as compared to my time in f o x t r o t. Cos things go smoothly, people are very cooperative and the juniors were really nice. Though there were times i have to pick people to do all the saikang, im glad they still did it even they complained abit =x. Thanks to people like Rudy, Joseph and Chong Long. As well as the remaining others i might have forgotten to mention.

And i really learnt alot from this short three days of BIT. And i really enjoyed it alot. Though its really mentally tiring but the experience were great! In the sense that there were alot of learning points, and i guess all of us really felt like commanders to be. We felt respected and empowered i think.

Another thing i realised is the moment you have to teach someone, suddenly all the hard skills become very tok kong! Haha. Previously you ask me how to set all the bloody mines and weapons ill be like huh? Blur sotong. But now? Easy! Yup=) Everyone's really professional that day! Like know every single thing about the thing that we were tasked to teach! Haha. Amazing how a little responsibility just empowers and enlightens us suddenly!

And yup, everything's in the mind. Pain can only be temporary. As long as you continue walking you'll reach it in the end. Mind over body!

32 click soon. Jia you jia you jia you!!!

Bookin in in 4 hours time.
Okay. 2 hours rather.
2359!
Nice.

Big day tml. Hope i dont screw it up in front of everyone. Haha. Jiayou! Must give good impression and be a good role model! :)Slack week next week. Hopeefully got many many nights out. Haha. Dream on.

And Phobia 2 is out yo. I wanna wanna wanna wanna watch it yo. And inglorious bastards too. Though for that that's like I wanna wanna watch it. Think the last real scary film i watched was coming soon. Scary yo! Oh and the recent huan hun too. But that one not scary la.So not counted. Phobia 2 for the win!

Ytd was a nice day at the equinox yo. 4 years since i've been there haha. Still nothing much changed. Except for the view. Once in a long long time indulgement! Really enjoyed the good food. Really really high end. And champagne tooooo! Champagne brunch! Haha.
Loved the desserts best i think. And the meat.

And then walked around town abit. Actually wanted to get that Neil Humphrey's book but then there was only one last autographed copy available which i dint want cos the sides were bent. Argh. Oh and finally tried silky barley. Ok la, one of the best barleys i ever tried cos got the nice nice almond skin and tasted abit like soya bean aka my fav drink. Not bad.

Then yup went Yong Hao's house. Actually supposed to go kboxing with Richie they all but then last min cancelled. So went to meet the area camp guys. Woots had fun! Xbox is so tempting to get haha. And guitar heroes also. Can sing to my heart's delight yo. They ordered like Pizza Hut but i was so so so full from the champagne brunch that i couldnt eat anymore haha. Then watched movies! Like the unborn (not very scary) and then max payne which i slept halfway through and woke up for the dramatic action packed ending.

Next thing i knew i woke up le. At around 7am in the morning.

Then spent the whole day resting at home. And checking and doing some stuff.

Big day tml. Abit nervous cos im afraid of screwing things up yo. Jia you!

Hectic, busy weeks ahead.
Weekends burnt burnt burnt! Argh.

But still, good to be back=)

We always take things for granted. It is only when we lose it then we start to treasure, when we start to miss it. I guess i've learnt to treasure all the simple things in life. Be it walking, eating or whatsoever. In the sense that there's too many things in life that i've taken granted for and now i shall really really treasure them.

And friends too. Because they can be there for all the times. At the end of the day, its not the ipod, the laptop, the phone that gets you through everything but rather your friends and buddies.

This perhaps serves as a good wake up call to not get too materialistic and practical. Not everything is about profits profits profits, not everything is about money and material goods. Sometimes i guess i need to learn to withdraw from it and look at it from a different way. =)

And im really thankful for my buddy. Cos i think he's like a freaking tanker. Though i always tease him and guailan him and call him all the weird ugly names i really must say he's a good buddy. Those that will really get through everything with me. And yup deep down, im really thankful and appreciate him hell lots. Couldnt ask for a better buddy to go through ASLC with me yo.
Though ill never let him know cos that's too gay. Haha=)


As for the rest of the friends and relatives i sincerely thank them and appreciate them too. Thanks yo =)

Hectic times ahead!

And now i still have to wonder about passing that god damn idiotic SOC. Argh.
Yikes.

Saw this today. "When life hits hard, bounce back harder." Yup. Bounce back doubly, triply harder. So long as you rebound back.

Though there's only so much one can rebound back before one stops bouncing. Just like there's only so many times a ball can bounce before it stops.

After all these times and stuff, i think sometimes the only thing/person you can depend, can trust is really yourself. Because at the end of it all, you are the only one facing it yourself.

People can be there for you. But for how long? And when you get too emotionally attached to the one you depend on, the one you trust, you find it hard to detach yourself from it. To the point where you are really too dependent on it. But no one's too indispensable i guess. Sooner or later people leave, and others enter. Its just how you let go. So at the end of it all, its just you yourself.

And people are quite dumb sometimes i guess. We play with fire knowing that at the end of it all, we'll get our fingers burnt, we feel pain. But yet we still play with fire, too engrossed with its warmth and beauty i guess. Just when we get too attached too dependent to the fire for our daily needs, we find that one day it can burn our fingers, and possible everything in our lives. And its back to picking up all the pieces again. And then we play with fire again thereafter, forgetting the lesson learnt, the pain thinking that perhaps this time the fire will treat us better.

So yea, stop playing with fire. Stop hiding behind all the facade thinking that it wont hurt it won't burn. Because it will. Unless you want to get hurt over and over again.

Okay, all these're pretty random. Too much time results in 胡思乱想 which results in weird thoughts and theorys. Haha.

On a lighter note i shall go shop and eat like crazy soon. Like i need a new mouse, new polos, new spectacles and maybe a new watch too. Really looking forward to it. And gyming too! "Healthy" lifestyle eh? Woots.

Been a really long time since i last blogged yo.

Block leave was great, caught up with friends - old ones, new ones. Did almost all the stuff that i had set out to do. Including revamping the room! Think it looks much nicer right now. Caught all the movies that i wanted to watch - 吓到笑 and GI Joe. Visited Night Safari too. Of which i've always wanted to go.

I must say the guys all look fitter, and eh the girls? Generally erm rounder. Haha.

Yea, movie was nice, cos its been quite a while since i caught a movie. 吓到笑 is like okok i think. Cos quite lame and the CGI effects' pretty fake. But quite singaporean. GI Joe's pretty cool man. Like high tech weapons and gadgetry. And im pretty surprised with the movie outing. Wouldnt have seen it coming like just one week ago. And boy am i glad that a friendship ain't lost. Life's full of surprises. =)

And finally finally caught up with Mr Sim. Played badminton together for the first time in like a couple of years, happy to hear he's goin ASLC too. Sad to hear he's gonna _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . =.= Slacker! But yea, he's still not too bad. Some slick moves here and there. 君子报仇，十年未晚！

Night safari trip was quite entertaining. Went with Jie Bin! Apparently she grew taller and made up for the rest of it with intellectual growth. LOLS. The animals in the animal show was really really cool and cute. But the animals in the exhibit were like boring me out because they were either eating grass, sleeping or AWOL most of the time. Except for the tiger who's like a model. Nice poses here and there. And he's like really handsome with nice fur and bright eyes. And i suddenly feel like working part time in the Night Safari someday. Cos i think its a pretty fun experience. The pay might not be say sky high, but the joy and meaning through interaction with both animals and tourists more than make up for it.

Met up with 4H peeps too. Have to admit Hui Hui's getting prettier! But she's like leaving real soon to Switzerland yo. Aww. So took some photos at Settler's cafe. Good luck and bon voyage girl! Shall catch up again when she's back for holiday. And hopefully she does remember to bring some chocolates back.

Room vamping was pretty tedious in the sense that i have to repaint the room and put up alot of stuff. But yups its done after like 4 days of hard work. And i really feel comfortable and more alive in it now haha.

And yea talking about posting. I'm quite disappointed that i din get posted to CBRD. Eh no, I'm freaking disappointed. Cos i seriously thought i stood a good chance after doing reasonably well for the selection test. So was quite stunned when posted to ASLC instead. And im really really quite interested in the unit, cos i feel its quite unique and would really give me a different NS experience. But haiz, have to accept reality even if i don't like my posting. There also nothing i can do about it, unless i OOC. But i think that's not the right way to do it. So yea, just see how it goes ba.

So yups, booking in again tml. This feeling really sucks. Cos its a long long 13 weeks of many burnt weekends and chiong sua. Im seriously dreading and hating it. I really cherish being a civillian now. Haha. But yea i do understand the need to serve and defend the nation as well. Haiz. No more outings, trips and partying foe the next few weeks i guess, cos it'll be back to precious weekends in which ill most probably spend sleeping and resting every week. (Weekends were seriously goddamn precious to me back in BSLC.)

But yea, i really do look forward to the day when i can don the chevron knowing that i've finished everything despite hating it. Woots.
