its really nice to help ppl.. hahaha on my way to the mrt station on orchard road, an uncle approached me and asked how to go to Ang Mo Kio.. i told him to take the red line but he only had 50c.. i didnt have any change soo i went to buy a blueberry baget from Starbuck and gave him $5 for his ride.. hahaha yeaa random but i always wantted to try a baget so yep.. then i sat at Starbucks coffee eating my bread.. yeaa v nice! anyways i got heaps of things to update..
now i am feeling sad coz i asked my sir if i can take leave during this course and he didnt hestiate at all and just said no. man.. i feel like i wasted mark, avis and ben's money.. man it sucks.. dont feel like blogging anymore..
anyways i pop from the 49th bslc last wk and looking back, it was a really great opporunity.. met new people, fired new weapons and learnt heaps about being a good commander.... yea i am going to miss it even though when i was there i was counting down the days.. the 8wks went quickly!... if you asked me to walk 28km carrying about 7kgs in the night i would told you no way but i cant believe i completed it!! it wasnt as bad as i thought.. we started at Kranji War Memorial at 9pm and for the first 12km we walked on the town areas in kranji.. the weather was awesome coz it rained before so it was cooling and the views were really nice too. after 12km we walked in army field camps sites soo it was just forest and bushes around.. that was went i started to get sleepy and staying awake was a pain. every 4km we had a break soo always looking forward to the next break, it didnt feel very bad.. i closed my eyes nearly falling asleep twice, walking into the bushes hahahahaha after reaching back to camp at 5am... rested a while and then we had our graduation parade. it was nice even though we were in fbo, my legs were killing me and the sound system stuffed up. anyways got my rank and yep i cant believe its all over so fast.. i will miss my section for sure, playing games and joking around with them... ECHO PLATOON 3 thank you for all the good times.
monday reported to ati.. man it is soo far away.. i want to cryyyy. the first job we had was getting rid of the water flood in our bunks hahahaha. i know for sure there will be more jobs like this to come esp in my vocation hahaha.. anyways tues was slack like it was in 41 and the rest of the wk i am on block leave soo yea. its been only 2days so i cant judge ati yet.. but its going to be 5mths.. thats really scary.. but in my bunk there are 2 other 1990 ppl and my buddy is 1991.. he studied in NZ.. soo yeaa dont have to feel like the youngest anymore. and even one guy studied in syd HSC like DONG-CHI.. thats cool.
last night went to Jocelyn's house, slept over and today went to meet Sardine and Raymond for a really late lunch.. ohh yea from Jocelyn's house at Bishan to my house.. wow it was memorable.. i took the bus 88 from the wrong side of the road.. soo went to TOA PAYOH interchange to catch 88 back.... BUT!! i slept on the bus the whole way and woke up at the end when it was reaching PASIR RIS interchange.. soo what to do.. at the interchange took 89 back to my house hahahaha annoying but was tired soo slept hahaha.
anyways Jocelyn is in town soo yay ppl to hang out with hahaha. okay thats about it.. p.s. happy 19th b'day Leo for today and happy 19th b'day Roy for tomorrow. =)

soo whats been happening? This mth has been quite happenning. hahaha two field camps, two 10km runs and 2 buffet lunches!! hahaha
okay soo first the field camps, last wk and this wk.. 4days 3 nights, infantry style! the first one was okay.. we learnt section fire movement and yeaa it was quite fun being the sec commander and shouting the commands..... but it was damn tiring.. doing so many fire movements man... damn shack... like doing soc five times in a row hahaa. the low morale bit was at night sleeping on soggy wetish ground... really makes your morale low... but yea surivied it. this wk finished GrandSlam at Tekong. it was actually one of my worst performing field camp... the navigation exercise during the first day i got really painful tummy pains after the second checkpoint and throughout the day i continue to walk with the pain... soo i couldnt really perform and nagivate.... soo i was useless to the team but more of a pain coz they were looking after me.. and we were peer appraised at the end.. sure come in last... arrr had the tummy pains all the way through the field camp. sigh.. not fun. the second day i slept under the sun during the day when we could rest and hahahaha i got a fever so i fall out from the day activies... they excuse me from the "punishing session" in the night which i felt guilty coz i didnt take part with them.. and they also let me sleep with the commanders in the tunnel/big army truck where i didnt have to do "guard duty" and hahaha had a good sleep!! but the second day i took part in the fire movements.. not that tough but man i stuffed up when i was SC...we were contacted left.. okay army talk..it isnt good to talk about it but anyways i was busy loaded a full mag and i forgot to give the FCO but told my section to advance...okay you guys might not understand but i ask me about it and i will tell u... hahahaha it wasnt as shack as the other day soo it was good. but it also was a wet damp field camp and thats not fun.. ohh and we had a 4km route march on the last day. wasnt as bad as last field camp's one for use but it was still painful and i really dont know how i am going to survive the 28km at the end of the course!!!!!! 4 is tiring already... times that by 7.. wow.
10km runs!!!! okay soo i joined up for 10km runs with some friends from my unit. that was before i knew i was going to be promoted to SISPEC. hahahaha wow the first run on the first wk of OCT was RUN FOR HOPE. a charity event for cancer reserch.. at east coast.. that was fun! i ran slowly and didnt stop once soo was constant all the way..felt really fun..but my legs and feet hurt so much the next day morning for the 5bx run haha some pics i stole off -
Before the run -
And After the run -
the second run last wkend..NEW BALANCE REAL RUN (the extreme x-terrain run - jsut to make it sound more pro hahahahaha) but yea we ran on sand, trail and road. and wow it was really tiring.. i stopped a number of times but the run along sand i didnt!! hahaha but yea it was tiring.. but a great experience... i finished it!! ran for 1hr 1min plus.. v slow but was quite tired from field camp and everything okay!!! but the place was really grand and really nice view.. the view like australia.. sigh i miss that place.. the open areas were really nice.. =) hahaha you can see the results on the internet... i came in 369 hahahaha So wowww -

A new Change
Heyya its been ages since i last blogged.. coz i wasnt really in a blogging mood. BUT now i got news....
it happened soo quickly it has only just sank in.. I got a Promotion.. i am going to si(x)pec. wait it is not i am going, it is i am at sergeant school.. okay soo how did this promotion all start? well a few few wks back after an inspection at 42, OC drove the runners back to camp first coz he wantted us to work on the maps back at camp. In the car, he asked me what i wantted to do after the guys ORD and i just said truthfully, "I would like to go to SISPEC" of course i added a bit of umm i umm would umm like to ummm go hahahaha it wasnt a straight out sentence like that hahahaha it was like i was thinking of sispec...
then after atec was all over, not thinking much about sispec at all, PC took me aside when we were booking out and talked to me about SISPEC.... he heard from the OC and i confirmed it to him that i wantted to go. He was like why didnt you ever tell me? and i replied coz i was shy hahahaha. then he said he would write a testemonal for me, send it to S1 branch and yea.. see how it goes... i booked out all happy coz my chances of going were looking up and i was excited at the opporunity of going. ohh and thanks Sardine and your dad for sending me home at day!! =) hahahaha
went back to camp the new wk and 2IC approached me about wantting to go to SISPEC. He asked if i was sure i wantted all the field camps again, the tough outfields and i nod and said yes yes yes... soo he said he will help push me there through recommandations and wow he has been pushing and pushing that after like 2 wks, application was accepted and bang i am. In a company training to be a leader... but i never thought it would be this soon.. i thought it would be in like dec.. but wow.. i didnt know i was going until this thursday.. and wow.. having to say good bye to my platoon and friends were liking having to say goodbye to my syd friends at the airport again.. Why is it that we never appreciate what we have until we loose it? why it is that we complain so much but in the end we are going to miss it? i wantted to be posted out coz partly very very partly i was sick of the camp, not sick of the ppl but sick of the overall camp, like the building itself... but how posted out, its worst coz the camp is sooo soo far from my house, i shouldnt have complained about the old one.....
guys in platoon ten and other plt too.... thank you sooooo much for looking after me... man i miss playing with you guys... i miss you like i miss my bmt section and platoon... sigh.. but you guys are going to ord soon, going on to seperate, new and different things. we would have to part anyways... thank you Sardine for being my going home buddy. thanks for including me into things, asking me out for suppers and the great fun we had a raymond's house. i started getting to know you i remember when i first when to Raymond's house and we went home together, we talked and then after that just kept talking and talking to become great friends... there is more ppl i have to thank but than the blog will be very long...
having to fit in and make new friends in a new environment is going to be hard... i am finding it difficult already but i guess this takes time.. like the first time i entered the tankiees bunk, i thought how i am going to be friends like these ppl but look what happened, i miss them now!! they were not what i expected, they are such great ppl really... i am also feeling the pressure to be a thinking leader..having to stand up but i am soo shy soo arrrhhh . but i wantted to go as Xiang Hui and Sardine put it nicely "i want more out of my army life"
soo two days passed and whats it like? so far like bmt, lights out timing, no afternoon naps, and arrrrr the thought of being platoon ic! scary!!
anyways... last wkend was fun.. Sardine's b'day at town... when for SUSHI PEI where i didnt eat a lot!!! was still hungry lor unlike the SUSHI buffet last time hahaha that was good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! played pool.. which was soo fun coz teamed up with Heng Hieng but kept loosing and didnt want to give up soo we played until we won which was 6 games hahahaha. pool is pretty fun with friends!! great fun. then went to Herny's b'day party.. it wasnt what i expected but yea it was fun.. i thought it would be wild and crazy but it was quite simple and the food was good. great day out!!

The Past Few Wks..
Has been quite busy...i cant remember the last time i updated but yeaa it has been busy..
i think the start of the busyness was 2 or 3 wks ago when we had the 41SAR Amazing Race over two days, thu and fri.. in our platoons we had to go to places around singapore in the aim to bond as a platoon and know singapore better.... we went to the Kranji War Memorial, the changi musuem, Labourdor Park in the city and the army musuem.. we did A LOT of travelling inbetween those places, taking taxi, mrt and bus.. my fav place was the War Memorial coz the weather was soo good and it was a great place to just sit on the grass and let the time pass by.. it had that reflective atmosphere and made us think of what the past soliders went through.. it was nice to sit and talk.. at the end of the first day, went to vivo city for lunch.. did a lot of walking there coz we going to meet another group of friends there but we couldnt find them soo we walked around the place.... wow vivo is quiet confusing coz there is like another shopping centre joined together and i thought it was all vivo but its not hahahaaha. after that went to Raymond's house for sleepover.. we did the usual stuff... blackjack.. hahaha...
this wk was really tiring...... we had 3 days of reheshals - tues, wed and thu for the change of command parade on yesterday. We had to practice in the hot sun and how i am soo tan again.. hahaha some of my friends had it worst.... the area where they wear their shirt is all white but their arms and necks are full red hahaha... the parade was okay but it wasnt it best..... the marching and drills wasnt the best and i dont think the parade was that "wowing"
and of course others which i dont have pics of..

the second day of the amazing race was better than the first.. we went through it faster and yea just felt better.. sadly our platoon isnt that close....ppl just wantta do their own things and its not very "one".. yeaaa very disappointing.. like at every pitstop we had a take a group pic and the pics are like sooo boring.. no crazy pictures or anything like that.... what a shame.... the end of the amazing race.. okay.. this night it was a bad experience... someone made me really angry and yeaaaa... was not happy..... just to say a bit... there was another sleepover at Raymond's house but coz i had guard duty the next day i was planning to just go back to camp and sleep.. but my this friend that annoyed me.. convinced me to go so i went but on the way to Raymond's house he "had to go back home" but i think i know the real reason... the thing that made me angry was not that he left me for other friends.. it was coz he lied about it.. straight to my face. man... okay i think i probably said to much but yea... ohh well.. who cares.. i think no one hahaha
after guard duty on sunday i went to meet Kah-Hoe at Clake Quay.. YAY my first friend from Syd to come visit me!! me brough me my b'day presents from my Syd friends soo yay!!
We first went to eat cheap chicken rice near his hotel area! v nice and then headed to Sim Lim Square coz i had to buy something... after that we went to Vivo city to do some walking around and then after that we spend a short time in China Town. wow.. we did a lot of walking but we took a lot of pics together hahaha. we had dinner together and had to book in for camp. it was a tiring day but yay it wasnt a boring wkend for sure!! =)
Last wk on thur we had the day off and i went to meet Kah-hoe again! We did more walking around and took more pics it was heaps fun!! thanks for hanging out with me KH!!! had great fun hahahahah had good food and desserts too!! ohh and eating that saucer of chicken rice chilli! haha made my tummy feel funny.. =0

soo yea its been really tiring and my energy levels are like really low... and its field camp next wk... i am scared i wont have enough energy to carry on...... sigh ohh well.. there are busy and free days soo yep.. just have to take it as it comes.
okay thats the end of my update of my busyness hahahaha... to end off i just want to say... i miss these ppl...
and of course others which i dont have pics of..Take care!

Jun 6, 2008
hey hey. man. i miss aussieland heaps. i am v home sick... just the australian weather, enviroment... the trees...my house and room >< and of course my friends and family.....!!
last wk was my first armour field camp. and thank God i survived! of course there were physically challenging bits like carrying and bashing with a 10+kg man-pack set.. (a portable telephone so the officers can communicate to each other when they are in a mission) so yea i have to carry that as my vocation as a PC RUNNER and the set didnt sit comfortablly on my shoulders soo it was painful but yeaaa i think i can get use to it...i need to get fitter.... but it was only a short day mission this time soo can cope... next time.... it will be longer arrrr!!!
but the camp was more mentally challenging... it was tough being squeezed in the armour vehicle... really squeezy... you are seriously sleeping face to face with each other... 7 ppl crammed in the back like the booth of a car... we are able to sleep around the vehicle like on top of it... but all the good places were taken and i didnt get a good spot the first night hahahaha and on the last night.. our commander didnt allow us out of the "booth" soo we all had to squeeze in there and i even used someone as my head rest hahahaha. its mentally challenging coz it can be frustrating being soo close to each other.. and my friend got pretty bad heat rash and arrrr its sooo annoying being sick or having that kind of thing outfield coz you just want and need a nice bed... our meals were not regular as well coz the food was in a basket at the top of the vehicle and too tired to climb up top soo just left it hahaha so i lost weight yay!! but i am gaining it back again hahaha we got to bring our own food like tuna and bread soo we didnt have to eat combat rations but my friends complian about combat rations soooooooo much.. its annoying... arrr dont eat it than and stop complaining!! if i had to eat it always i wont like it too but one or two the whole outfield is okay... arrrrrr i miss bmt days when our platoon would all seat around and compare rations.. i never got the good ones hahahaha but ohh well it was the company that made it good.. of course the fresh food was v freshing and i'll need to bring a lot more coz on the last day we were running out hahahahaha bring maccs and kfc there. that would be sooo cool! hehehe thank God i didnt get any major problems and didnt lose my mind during the field camp soo yay
i got to stand up and see the sceney while the tank was moving and to describe it.. its like a pagent float and you are standing on top waving to ppl. hahahaha thats how i felt hahaha felt like waving but of course i didnt. hehehehehe standing is not easy too... coz its really weird about the vehicle is that everytime it is moving.... you seriously fall asleep straight away.. i swear everytime it moved i had a great nap... i think its the vibration and the speed of the vehicle that made it sooo good to sleep.. at nights when it wasnt moving it was sooooo hard to fall asleep.. i wantted to turn on the vehicle soo it would shake me soo sleep hahaha but yeaa so when you are standing up you have to fight the uncontrollable vibration putting you to sleep... my legs kept falling like to go to sleep but in the end i slept standing up which was quite amazing... coz dunno how ppl sleep standing up..but that is the amazing power of the armour vehicle.when you are sitting inside it.. you cant see anything outside soo yeaa nice to see where you are going..
another mentally challenging thing was putting back the swimming screen coz its really really difficult to put it back.. okay the swimming screen is umm hard to describe but its like an extension of the vehicle on top soo it can float when swmming... its extra levels at the top coz when swimming the whole vehicle is in the water and the screen protects us from the water.... we did the swimming at 12am+ when it was all dark and it was really a kodak moment...the moon shinning.... the mist surrounding the tanks and vehicles... i am heaps bad at english and descriptions but it was really magical and also a you have to be there moment. but yeaaa soo cool!! i got hurt that night.... we set up the "screen" and we were travelling to the river to cross... i was standing up with my hands holding on to the screen like a little boy looking out and the vehicle when too lose to the tall trees at the side and a branch smake my left hand hand and it still hurt todays ><><... arrr hope my hand heals coz dont want to affect my training ><>
this wk was more of a time of socialing with platoon mates.. mon they had section live firing and the "new birds" - me didnt do anything but sit there and rot.... we read time mag...listened to hillsong united music and talked soo yea.. the day ended really late..... and yeaaa the night its just really tiring.. tuesday did some ovm stuff.. nothing much wed and fri had soc training and thank God my hand didnt affect me clearing the obstcles although it hurt after the training... worried about it ><><
this wk i have been talking to a lot more with my platoon... i wantta talk to everyone of them soo can have a friendship and the platoon is soo much like high school.. there is the cool group and the semi cool group... there are ppl who hate each other and talk bad about each other and even ppl who use to be friends but are now on bad terms and ignoring each other.. i'm trying to be in all the groups but realisticly dunno if it is possible coz loyalty has to be in one group but yeaa i dunno... need more time.. thurday night was free time soo i spend most of the time going around the room talking to different ppl soo yea.. starting to make friends..
yeaa... i think i talking about everything about my army life... ohh btw on thu and fri we clean the weapons and it was quite dirty hahaha just though you should know that since i am updating you... ohhhhh yea and on sunday wow what a good day... i went to visit my dad's mum and i was really scared coz there is a HUGE communication gap.. i only know one sentence and even than i dont dare to say it could i might say it wrong soo was really scared that it would be awkward soo yea i grew enough courage to just go and visit her.. and when i got there... my other uncle.. a nice uncle and his two children were already there sooo wow God was really at work... my uncle tranlated for me a bit and i was able to see my grandma... showing that i care about her.. play with my cousins and talk to my uncle for the first time i can remember without my parents... soo yea.. it was quite good yea? quite different to the awkward situation that i was expecting soo yea...
my christian life has been kinda quiet... its true the christian life goes through high and low stages... the start of the yr was high going into army and my new camp.. but now its low but at least i want it to be at a high stage soo i wantta change... its tough but i do want to know God better and make him a bigger part of my life soo yea.. will work on it ><
heyyy there is soo many ppl in aussie i'm starting to lose touch with and its really sad i dont want too >< cya =")">

...
heyya.. its been a heaps long time since i updated and i dont think i told you guys about my new unit..
ARMOUR INFANTY TROOP @ Kranji Camp 2.
so yea.. the first wk there was a real culture shock.. and i was going crazy constantly thinking that i would have to do this and be in this camp/vocation for 1 yr and 9 mths ><.. sigh... but thank God after the first wk the constant thoughts of ORD are gone... but i still think about it though. i dont feel like blogging.. hahaha but anyways. a few of us straight from BMTC were posted to AI TROOPER to fill in the for the lack of numbers.. and the soliders there were already 2nd year soliders and about 2 yrs older than me ><... its tough being put in there when they already have their own clicks and its just like being a new student in a new school when the grade has been together for years already... i really should have been nicer to the new guys at school coz its really not easy ><>You should judge a book by its cover. my platoon is pretty nice.. so yay. and i sleep on the side of the gangsters so hahaha they are all pretty cool. ohh and one room has 24 ppl.... thats like heaps of people. hahaha thank God there was a "honeymoon" period for us to settle in.. and the comapny has just gone to india for 3 wks soo its very quiet, peaceful and much more flexible.. yay. but after they come back it will be field camps, late nights, heavy signal sets. tough training.. ><
i am starting to understand why i was posted here to be "man" instead of a commander. some things i wont understand but maybe i wouldnt have made a good commander so yea. maybe blame my young age and lack of experience and confidence. although its disappointing that i cant be a leader and have men under me who i would have loved to guild and teach.. the decision has been had i have to find the joy it in.
its really disheartening that most NSF men think that just because they are in the army that their lives have stopped and they only look forward to when it all ends... also they have the mindset that when it all ends,they can just forget all about it.. i feel most of them fail to see the opportunities that the army can provide.. the life long friendships that can be built... the training.. maybe thats the way the army is.. tough and unflexible.. but its just sad.. okay i probably arnt making sense coz i am bad at expressing stuff. but like for example, a sergeant in my comapny who is going to ORD in may.... his mindset is just do it and finish it.. forget it when its over.. maybe he is just saying it and will definatly miss it in the future...(coz you never know how much you love something until you loose it...so true about BMT...) but its like he is taking away nothing from these 2yrs..... okay sigh i am not making any sense to myself too but i just dont want to finish this 2 years feeling like i havent learnt or gain anything... new experiences.. esp friendships.. i dont want to go back to aussie feeling lonely and like i havent made any true lasting friendships... in the war movies the army friends are like always the closest and strongest but yea.. dunno if it will be true... sigh okay this is just stupid rambling that made sense in my head an doesnt need to make sense to you guys.. so yea. anyways.
yep thats about it.. just rambling on about stuff. blame it on my lack of expressions. i miss my bmt friends soo much and really jealous of the things that they are doing... bslc... OCS!!!!! navy solider!!!! SIGH... i really need to learn to be happy with what i got and not compare... yep okay stupid post.. sorry for wasting your time hehehehe but its just nice to write things down so yea.
btw... U4S4 keep 1st of may the public holiday free.. section outing. i wantta go bowling or lazer tag or movies... trying to plan soo will tell you guys more!!!! take care guys and everyone at aussieland. I MISSS YOUUU GUYS HEAPSS. i miss seeing you guys in person... and its soo different just talking on msn...... ><><>

Update.
Heyya. sorry it has been a long time since i blogged. i've been kind of lazy. ><
soo what has been happening?
the next day after POP. i did absolutely nothing. it was a day of rest.
on thu i met Jim to eat at Fish and Co. the food was pretty nice and chatting with Jim was pretty cool too so that was fun! Jim, i think you would be reading this so thanks for hanging out for lunch and your fellowship! =)
after lunch.. i met UFour for our platoon outing. they had lunch already and some ppl hated me coz it was as if they were my second option.. sorry if it seemed like that.. but everything just worked out. Derek, Roy, Dong-Chai and i went to watch The WaterHorse while the rest played Lan and the movie wasnt as good as the crities said... they compared it to ET. and i dont think it was THAT good. hahahaha. after the movie... went to meet them at lan and then went home for dinner.
Fri was another day of rest. did absoulutely nothing again.
Saturday i went to youth group's Student Peer Group social. we played badminton which was really fun and captain's ball which was really fun also. it was hard to mix with them as they had their own group of friends but yeaa it was all good! fun day!
Sunday.. i woke up late soo i missed church which is really bad ><>
soo yea. thats about it. thats my wk. sounds really boring but going out was really fun. its the staying at home which is getting really boring ><
i wantta talk about my posting. i'll find out on Friday... i dont want to get my hopes up but i am really hoping for OCS. and the reason why is pretty stupid actually. Its coz OCS is seen as really WOW and it could be true that it is overrated. but yea..God has his plans...it could be something totally different and special from ocs and sispec!! hahaha. i'm sure whatever it is it will be okay!! =)

POP LOR!
You guys can call me Private Jeremy now.. because yesterday i graduated!! *yay* *claps claps* hahaha
to answer jocelyn's question. POP was really good. special feelings and everyone was really happy after the parade. (the parade which we practiced for 2 full days for) its kinda sad leaving tekong but more importantly its the people, seeing them everyday and hanging out with them that i will miss more than the place itself. it was the people that made it fun and memorable. its was like graduating from CTHS ><><>
soo now i have block leave and i will be getting my posting on the 21st of march. which is really exciting and i cant wait to know where i am going to go next. i realllyyyy hope its ocs...and will be disappointed if not so i dont want to get my hopes up too much...i dont have a lot of pics from POP so i'll try get some from others and post them up. ohhh and thanks Naomi and Kengi for being my parents that day. we went for dinner with my grandparents after pop and it was fun.. playing games on the bus to kill time. yay thanks for coming!!! =) hope it wasnt too boring for you but that you had fun!
thanks =)

2nd Last Book Out.
Heyya guys.
this wk's training program was very relaxed compared.. we had a lot of free time although most of the time didnt feel like free time coz of drill squad practice (ohh we came 3rd!!! hahaha i was sub out the night before the event soo i didnt get to take part but yea it was cool watching them!! they were really good but a sergeant major said that our basic drills were not that solid but yea a really suprising 3rd!!)
(ohh if i didnt explain drills squad is a competition between the different companies which judges on marching, marching formation and fancy rifle drills.. like spinning the rifle!! hahaha it looks really cool but after you learn it, its really easy..)
we didnt have any long running activity or strength ippt training so yay! butttttttt we did have 24km route march on wed!! it was way harder than 16km... felt tired and painful so quickly at the first 4km already and wasnt as happy as 16km ><>
this wk is our 2nd last book out for bmt as a company... the last one will be when we book out after we Passing Out Parade (POP). that will be the end of my first phrase of my army life... and its really sad coz i got really comfort with the platoon already and i'm gotta miss their jokes.. and hanging out with them.. awww!! 4 more sleeps till POP. and umm... 14 more sleeps still we get our posting... it will tell me where my next phrase of my army life is at. i'm not allowed to blog about army life soo yea ><>
=) this is antoher quick update.. so yea thanks cya!!

Heyyya.
life is kinda funny sometimes. my last blog was two wks ago..complaining that i had guard duty and only less than 10hrs of freedom...well this wk coz i passed my IPPT (its like a fitness test..) i got to go home on friday night instead of the rest of the company booking out at 8:30 on sat. it seems very fair now! there are good and bad things about the army. ups and downs. and its a really different experience..yeaa its all good...
the best thing about last wk which i was too lazy to blog about was 16km route march... it was my best route march ever coz i wasn't as tired and worn out as the other route marchs but had a suprisingly amount of energy left in me... we have breaks every 4km and yea it was a huge accomplishment and great feeling at the end. v fun experience! 24km march is coming up this wk - the last one for BMT. hope it will be as good or better than 16 ><
okay. this wk we didnt have a lot of strenous training..looking back i dont think we did much hahahaha. we had a lot of training for our IPPT test though.. but those are only short excerises in the mornings. the rest of the day was meant to be coy admin i.e. free time but it didnt feel like free time coz we were forced to do other things like chores or drills training/squad. but coz of the less training activities.. it was a more bonding time for the platoon... talking and laughing more with ppl in the platoon. the spirit of the U4 was really high until thursday when some of my platoon mates were caught resting in another company's bunk.... it was in the afternoon waiting to go into the leture room... and we were waiting for quite a while. and coz it was afternoon time... lazy and tired.. some ppl went into the bunk next to the leture room to wait. arrrrr they got in trouble. my sergeant got in trouble for that and the mood of the platoon was really down and sad ><><>
yea anyways this is a stupid post i dunno why i am posting hahahahha. ohh btw. i think i decided i wont be coming back to aust after POP in march. i really wantta visit you guys in your new unis and hang out but the holiday would be really short and i'll feel really sad having to come back to sing again ><>
yep. take care guys.

To tired to think of a funny title for this post so i'll just leave it blank!
Heyya.
i havent blogged about CNY last wk so i'll blog - its kinda my first real CNY that i can remember coz only have little memories of when i was young so yea. i really enjoyed CNY esp the family reunions =) the eve had dinner at hougang - mum's side and on cny the day itself.. i went for lunch to dad's side. although i didnt eat a lot it was nice talking to my uncles, aunties and esp cousins who i didnt know very well before. so yea at least now i know their faces and know each others names! i think thats one of the best thing of CNY!! the next day we had dinner at mum's side again. different people came and yea just talked and hang out. we played maj jong a lot too! thats another best thing of CNY...
okay now my week at u know where at the place where can not be mention. okay i made it sound like harry potter on purpose coz i am lame! anyways. we had SIT TEST - outfield 3 days, 2 nights. we had 12km route march there which was tough and then next two days of 6 challenges each day to test our leadership skills in different situations. the missons were quite good - lots of climbing and using rods and ropes and stuff - and my team was awesome...no annoying people and we worked pretty well. finishing very quickly on the second day and was the first to return back though we dont get any prizes for that. the nights outfield were really cold!! ohh and the crazy thing about sit test is the fast march that we had to do before breakfast. fast march as the name suggests is marching at a fast speed and wow its v painful on the legs you just want to stop and massage them. we went for 4km the first day and 2km the second. it was our first time doing first march.. wow very different! okay... now there is some bad news.. on the second night. i was soo tired that i only slinged my rifle around my arm but didnt hug it so it was left free and open. the sergeant unslinged my rifle and coz i was in such a deep sleep i didnt realised it was taken away until i woke up later and found only my sling around my arm.. i thought it was a drean... cant believe that it would happen to me ><
so as my punishment i got guard duty. whole day sat till morning sun. i just booked out. and another bad news... i gotta book back in at 6:45 tonight!! so i only got like less than 10 hrs of freedom!!! guard duty at TFT it was really mentally challenging and painful on the feet. we did prowling meaning we had to walk basically around the whole takon site... going to 11 checkpoints which the whole route took an 1hr. we have 2 hrs shifts... 4 shifts which 4 hrs rest between each shift. so if you calculate we walked around the route 8 times ><><
i've been making a lot of mistakes the past few wks... i dunno why.. the first mth of bmt was all good but now soo may mistakes like this wk i forgot to bring my PT shoes from home!!! and the rifle incident ><>
i didnt go to church today and havnet socialised much.. feel so loney hahahaha. okay nothing else to say so i'll cya next wk! have a great wk! =)

The Frustation of Contact Lenses
heyyyya guys.. i need to blog out my frustation... it took me over half an hour to put in the contant lense on my left eye!!!!! the right eye one was good and esay but the left!!! arrrrr it just didnt stay in my eye!! hahahahaha okay. now i am kinda very late for church and should go. soo yea. hahaha this post is kinda useless and random but arrrrr it took sooo long to put in on ><>
okay cya guys!! :)
okay cya guys!! :)
A Realisation
heyyya. two posts in one day. i'm getting addicted... hahahaha na.
i just wantted to share a profound realisation i came across.. you know in my previous' blog i said that because i cant blog about army stuff.. my posts would be really boring..well i realised that the army shouldnt be my whole life but only part of it - instead God should be the core of my life. the core purpose of why i do what i do and ultimately why i live... soo yea. my posts arnt going to be boring coz i've got God and my christian life to share!
so today at yf although i came late.. we learnt that God has called us to be "fishers of men" - we are ambassadors For Christ - 2 corinthians 5:17-20. also learnt that my actions and not only my words can share the gospel to others. thats why i really believe everything happens for a reason. God can work in almost any way to share the gospel and faith... pretty cool i think! :)
i havent been doing my quiet times which is really bad ><><><><>
heyyya guys... on a side note.. i got contact lenses.... i dunno if its a good thing or not coz i think i look more ugly without glasses.. hahaha anyways. it takes some time getting use to putting it on and taking it out soo yea. just thought i would let my fans out there know that i got contact lenses hahahahaha
okay sweet dreams people! :)

The Curse of the Golden Fever
Heyya people :) it is 1am in the morning and my laptop battery is running really low....(11% left if you must know) but despite all these.. i really feel like blogging. coz i like the sound of tapping keyboard keys. anyways. hahahaha that was totally weird and random. i'm back from two weeks confinement from the you know where and the place which can not be mentioned or talked about... (its a four letter word and it isnt jail...) anyways. yeaaa it wasnt that bad or such a nightmare coz time did past quickly during field camp.....ohh man. field camp. its hard to describe. overall it wasnt too bad.. i expected worst so yea.but it wasn't as enjoyable as i hoped.. like i was expecting it to bring our section mates closer together but i dont think that was achieved. i strengthened some of my friendships with a few people so yay :) they are really good people - my buddies are really caring so yay.
heyyy.. i have to explain the story behind this blog's title. okay. one fine friday morning... 2days before field camp. i unexpectly woke up with a high body temp. i wasnt feeling to well and quickly my section mates concluded that i had fever. they took care of me... asking if i was okay. thanks soo much guys. i'm so fortunate to know ppl like you and its soo gay but to have you part of my army experience!! :) anyways. i went to bed that night really hoping to get better the next day so i could participate and field camp wouldnt be a problem... i woke up on sat.. feeling fighting fit! but when i looked over to the bed next to me... my buddy was holding his head and he didnt look good at all. ohhh nooooo battery dying!! 6% only!! anyways. too cut the story short... a few people in my section was cursed with the golden fever and it affected their field camp which some may have to re-field camp.. friday - the catalyst... me (4409) sat - the victim - my buddy. (4410). 4am sun - 4402 reported sick... he looked like he was in a bad condition too ><><><
my buddy had it worst of all coz he didnt get to expecience any field camp stuff with us... havent seen him for over a week now.. that reminds me.. i have to sms him. hahahaha ><
my battery died last night and now its 11am on sat. yeaa there are a few memories of field camp that i really liked.... like sleeping under the stars and i think thats the only good thing.. hahahahaha ohh and not brushing my teeth for 6 days. bahahahaha smelly bum. anyways yeaa.. thats all for now folks. its a very short blog and kinda lame but thats me!! hehehehe :)
okay. take care guys. and it would be funny if the curse of the golden fever spreads all the way to syd. hopefully not. OHHHH and did i mention i am going to be Platoon IC for this coming wk?... oh my gosh! wish me well i dont believe in luck but wish me all the best plz!!! ><><><
hahahaha take care!

One Mth Anniversary!!~
Heyyyya!!
today is my one mth anniversary in being at BMTC!! yayayaya *claps* hahahaha i remember the first day there when my dad and bro sent me off. it was scary...but i'm settling in well... thank God. although it gets pretty emotionally tough usually on thu and fri coz all energy levels are drained and you just want a break from training. thats probly the worst thing about bmt... when you feel soo low and lacking energy. oh well. its an adventure and i keep thinking that i am in big brother and survivor at the the same time. hahahaha its a love hate relationship... love it when you are not there... hate it when you are training and at camp.....><
Basic Military Training started this wk which means the training acivities that we do are more war situational based. like we learnt and used a practice grendade...v cool new experiences. yea.. i dont know what else to say. on thuesday we had ippt test.... ran 2.4km run and then after we had our practice grendade activities and then a 6km route march.... carrying a really heavy field pack and a rifle... the field pack is really starting to hurt my back and i am starting to hunch which is a bad thing..... arrrrrr
ohhhh lol moments of the wk... not a lot that i can remember hahahaha. i'll share just one kinda embrassing lol moment... we were having our rifle drills.. like raising it up as a group and stuff.. its like marching drills but with our rifle... and of course i was a little slow and confused so this sergetant who is very ummmm unique and different... asked me "why are you so blur?" and after thinking a while i JOKINGLY replied "coz this is who is am" hahahahaha okay... it was really lol but its just funny how i replied.. okay. that was lame anyways hahahahaha nothing funny happened this wk than... i still have problems with my "huh"s and "ya"s... soo stupid!!
went to yf and church this wk... everyone at church is really nice... all the youth are really cool and also the aunties and uncle at church.. making sure i am fine!! v nice! thanks (:

Reflections and memories of 2007'
TwoThousandandSeven could be one of the best years of my life so far. it was just overall outstanding with so many socialising events which means loud volumes of laughter, meaning heartfelt memories and thus finally causing stronger friendships. Events like studying at the library which were more socialising times than educational learning, late night walks around cherrybrook with Mark S and gatherings at my house - after formal esp are only some of the "bonding" times shared. Guys... thank you so much for creating and sharing such undescribable memories and inside jokes. it sounds stupid but you guys have a place in my heart and i really do hope we can make more memories as we grow older and older.
its only been about two months since school ended but i already miss the carefree lunchtimes at E2.14, the lunchtime walks around school, the randomness of the group and constantly being late to every class coz of more socialising!! i also miss some classes like SS with shash and steven... (remember the chicken wings and the cow's leg experiment...and remember the videos which were soooooooooo boring!!!! ohhh and the time we wantted to wag but in the end we didnt hahaha ><) BUSINESS with lau (going high on lollies, pizza and donuts...mmkk)... maths with martin at the back corner of the classroom. eco with the guys in the small cosy classroom........ and the stressful essays of english.... (joking about the last one... i dont miss anything about english yet!!) high school wouldnt have been high school without the things listed above.
of course i also miss the friendships built at church and SWITCH... you guys have been such an encouragement to my christian faith and being such an awesome support as i went through yr 12 and leaving for Sing'land. keep being a bright light for Jesus and encourage and strengthen each other always as you grow in your faith. =) you guys are really amazing people!! thanks so much for everything!
also thanks to all the farewell and hang out hangings organised. they were always good times =) thanks for making the effort to organise... making me feel so loved and wantted hahahaha yay!!
yea. although i described 2007 in only a few words, nothing can explain the joy and happiness felt thoughout 2007.... just know that it was a really really really good year and i don't know how 2008 will be able to meet such high standards but i hope it will be able to hahahaha. ps. Nov-Dec trip to Tassiemania with the family was as memorable so yay to that too.
The Start of TwoThousandandEight
2008 went off with a memorable start all thanks to the youth of B(S)C!! After watchnight service which the message was from Ps 46, the youth took a shuttle bus to NUS and we happily and carefree just walked into the premises. the uni didnt have any security or anything like that which is really shocking!! we were broken up into groups and set of with some games/challenges and clues leading to the games. the games thaught us of the difficults we may face along the christian walk which was very well planned out and taught! after the games there was a time to reflect on the past year.. all the games, reflections and worship ended at about 5.. where we then when out together for breakfast at Macdonalds.... yea.. Macdonalds being the first meal of 2008. how healthy.. anyways it was good. after breakfast we had great fun at the huge playgroup with lots of different equipments!! v fun! =)
now let me describe the lol moment of the day hahahaha... we were taking the train back to our respective homes and coz we were all tired from the lack of sleep the night before... we were all sleeping in the train. i woke up from my nap and saw a friend leaving the train and i immediately thought the station was Serangoon coz i thought my friend was enlighting at that station. i woke my other friend next to me and said "hey dont you get off at Serangoon?" he looked so shocked and quickly ran out of the train thinking he would miss his stop.. but once he was out of the train.. friends around me told me i was wrong and it wasnt Serangoon but a few stops before hahahaha. my friend had to take the next train and hahahahaha my bad!!! sorry!! it was pretty funny at the time...hhahahahaha
Jan 2nd.
Nothing exciting really happened on this day. expect it was a really blugely and we didnt do any strenous army activities coz it was raining the whole day...lalalalalalalalalalalalallalalalalalalalla.........................ignore that.. that was just my cousin anyways back to the 2nd of Jan. yeaa no strenous army activitis expect the most enjoyable thing was doing 100 JUMPING JACKS!! yeaaa 100 jumping jacks!!!! and also 120 hopeless budda claps. budda claps for those who dont know are claps above your head and it really does get really tiring after a while. we also had to do backside chicken squat which requires your arms behind your legs and hands at the ankles and then squating.. wow it starting hurting at the 5 one already and i think we did up to 50 squats... its a good feeling after accomplising such exercises soo yea. thats why its worth blogging. 100 jumping jacks!! thats soo many hahahaha =)
Jan 3nd.
two really memorable moments happened today. firstly..."the wall is falling" incident. Tian Xiang was leading against the wall after doing some fitness exerises... the sergant saw him leading and as a punishment he had to pretend the wall was falling and had to push hard against it to stop it from falling. hahahahaha i laughed sooo hard man. really good times. me and a few others went up to help him hold up the wall and hahahahaha some one quoted "its falling on the other side" i went over to the other side still laughing so hard i couldnt stop hahahaha it ended when someone else quoted "i think the wall is okay now.. lets remove our hands and see if it is okay" hahahahahahahaha laughed soo hard soo funny!!!
2nd memorable moment - we were at the swimming pool and when a pretty high rank sergant.. who is a pretty mean and scary guy said "it is a free for all swim but only six people can be in the pool at one time" i loudly said HUH.. thinking in my head only six people!! and coz i was sitting right infront of him as he was speaking he heard me and saying HUH or YA in the army is bad sooo i got in trouble... i was soo embrassed that i kept smiling and he said which is really shocking "lucky you have a cute smile or i would slap you" hhahahahah i got out of trouble coz of my cute smile!!! i am sooo fortunate wow. i could breath more freely after that...
