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!! :)

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!
