looks like i got to clear up the cobwebs not only in my bunk but also on my blog. haha been rather unlucky recently... hammered my finger, lost my ic, knocked my head, injured my shin, all in addition to my ankle, knee and elbow injuries... i hope all will change for the better in the new lunar year man... maybe the only good thing is that i'm selected to run for ocs for the navy relay hahah hope i can make it!
well, i dunno if i'm repeating myself, but if i go with the intention of learning to be a better person, i think i have achieved tat... maybe not that gd yet but my endurance level is definitely climbing up... the ability to think fast and act fast... responsibility... i think i'm improving in these areas... but to be honest, i kept harbouring criticisms towards some gals there. some whom i think are trying to break down the integrity of my platoon. i hope one day i can have the courage to stand up and tell them off that if they dun like certain pple, they shud voice it out. at least that person can change for the better and not be kept in the dark, suffering discrimination. from my experience in camp, i realised how hurtful it is to be at the receiving end of gossips, not that i'm the receiver or the completely guiltless party. but really charlene, i know how u feel then :( i'm sorry i din do much to help u
most pple think that gals have the time of their life in army, as compared to the guys... i wun deny that but i think we have our share of woes too... but like never before, i realise the importance of confidence and optimism... if i din have that i think i'll jus succumb... but i'm really happy all these is happening to me, giving me a chance to learn at a dynamic pace... life is short, unpredictable... i'll treasure it

ArMy 123
hey i'm back in one piece, after three weeks of non-stop torture! it's not that bad actually, what with the admin time getting longer day after day... but sadly, i supposed the reprimands from my instructors will never cease, and so are the "knock it down" punishments... nvm what doesn't kill me will make me stronger :)
my captain told me that the stuff we are exposed to now are under the restricted category so i really have no idea what i can include here... all i can say is that the physical trainings are varied, ranging from circuit to taewondo... personally, i prefer combat training the best, a combination of taewondo, akido and karate... bad guys out there watch out!haha... maybe soon i can try sparring with zj haha jus kidding he probably knock me out
most saliently, i learnt tons from the short 3 weeks inside, such as friendships, teamwork, self confidence and so much more... giving of my best, quick thinking all these will go a long way here i realised... even something insignificant like bunk cleaning has its intrinsic value :) u can say army has brought out the philosophical side of me
it had been an eye opening experience to learn from and interact with grads and people older than me... even though singapore priorities paper credits, i realise that nothing beats experience sometimes...
however, there'll be days when i really feel like throwing in the towel and walk away... could even visualise myself doing it... but my optimism and persevere will finally win over... i must think strong and be strong now... nothing can break me :)
apart from army, i realise i really miss my frens and my family... my sister is sick yet i cant attend to her... then my bf is damn bored and i cant be with him... frens have been asking me when i'm booking out but my time is so limited... sighz i need "splitting trick" man all i hope now is that time will fly and 11 mar comes soon :)

FaReWeLl...
I think yesterday's farewell went quite well hahah *bhb* but there's almost insufficient food... luckily my mum provided us with more fruits and snacks *phew* so glad that I managed to get everything done before anyone arrived. for this occasion, i actually revamped my study... the photo albums were strewn all over a spare sofa and within two days, i transferred photos in old albums into those new adhesive ones with the help of my sis. it sounded easy but believe me our backs and eyes were aching from the onerous task. had to sweep the floor, tidy my room and lotsa spring cleaning stuff... zj agreed that my house had a face lift haha :)
I was quite worried at first that they had nothing to do.... but they really know how to keep themselves entertained so I was so relieved! haha all i did was to serve them food and clean up after them. played a game of bridge with the girls... but as usual, the guys and girls sat at separate areas... when yoke yun finally arrived, I shown the class the photos slides that I managed to finish only the morning before haha not too bad i hope :p
they continue to entertain themselves till 6pm.. jing song and jeremy ransacked and turned my comp upside down to play oac and track videos while the girls gathered at the piano to play and sing... quite amusing la haha :) and the guys kept teasing me abt my saf scholarship and calling me mam... gonna miss the class when i go bmt...
oh and my mum met zj at last.. i tot she wun recpgnise him but she remembers his look from the photos that she chanced upon... then she joked that he kept calling her aunty hahah so funny man... it's nice that my mum knows liao... i wonder if i'll ever see his parents haha gotta go! hope to blog again before i book in!

SaF mErIt ScHolArShiP
I think the fact that I have been provisionally accepted for SMS may come as a shock to some of u, as it has been for me. I cant believe man i've simply breeze thru the selection, maybe except for my medical, cos' my hearing test screwed up and my eyes are inherently bad... but i'm still stuck at the crossroad, dunno if I shud sign on. sigh... but I really hope to go overseas for my studies, afterall i've already invested so much time, effort and money in my applications... hai some pple tell me not to hesitate while some ask me not to join... I really dunno what to think man
but maybe the gd thing is that my rgs track fren sihan is enlisted with me as well! :) looking forward to her company in bmt... and I heard the pay is really good, $1300 monthly, with pay rise pending... but sometimes I really wonder if the monetary compensating differential is really worth the while... I guess I'll jus go for bmt and have fun first haahaaa... scully my results cant even make it man
Back to something more salient, I'm really saddened by the Earthquakes and tsunamis disasters... Singapore is jus so lucky.... Hope that the death tolls will stop rising... oh my family almost went to thailand this year... phew :P let us pray for the disaster victims... I wish I could do more. like raise funds for them but time is running out
till 10 jan, I've 2 weeks of freedom left... gonna make full use of my time to spend with my family and frens... gosh then 3 weeks cannot come out... I still cant believe I gonna experience the life of an ns guy... haa and I'll experience it before my guy... and my greatest wish is that I wun become too manly after the experience man, I'm man enough liao hahaa hope to preserve my feminine side as much as possible hahah... maybe the saddest thing is that I can't continue to teach my tutee Weihao... goonna miss him so much... I'm so grateful that Cheuk Ka agrees to help me out :)
There're so many what ifs in my mind now... What if a war really broke out? Am I prepared to lay my life for the country? What if they make me do things against my conscience? will I rise above the evils or would I succumb? But if a war breaks out, I want to protect my country, my family and my home... Jus dun wanna die la hahah but if they force me to betray my frens or something, I will never budge... I hate this point of my life now
And come 2 jan, I hope to organise a last class outing at my house... to see the guys and myself off haha... gonna clean up my house and give it a face lift! so exciting haha... hey if u r my classmate reading this, try to volunteer to help with the food k? hehe call me!
