Another weeks had past..

Last week i did not manage to clear my leaves cause i was call back for lesson and commander training.

Last week NDP was a wet one, cause its rain almost for the whole afternoon. I also get the chance to interact with most of my group mates.

Today, i went to Alexandar Hospital for my medical appointment. The doc pressed damn hard on the "pain area" of my knee that i bite my lip and curse and swear. Until now, i could still feel the pain.

I also manage to find the essay on the tree. Going to book in le. Hope that this week will also be another fun and calm week.

A story about Tree, Leaf and the Wind

Tree
===
The reason I'm called tree is because I'm good at painting trees. Overtime I start to use a tree on the right hand corner as a trademark for all my watercolors painting. I have dated 5 gals when I was in Pre-U. There's one gal who I love a lot but never dare go after her. She doesn't have a pretty face, doesn't have a good figure, doesn't have outstanding charm. She is just a very ordinary gal.
I like her. I really like her. Like her innocent, like her frankness. Like her cuteness, like her intelligence and her fragility. Reason for not going after her is because I felt somebody so ordinary like her is not a good match for me. I'm also afraid that after we are together all the good feelings will vanish. I'm also afraid other's gossips will hurt her. I felt that if she's my gal, she will be mine ultimately & I don't have to give up everything just for her. The last reason, made her accompany me for 3 years. She watch me chase after gals, and I have make her heart cry for 3 years.
She wants to be a good actress and I'm a very demanding director. When I kissed my 2nd girlfriend, she bumped into us. She was embarrassed but smile & say "Go on!" before running off. The next day, her eyes was swollen like a walnut. I purposely didn't want to think about what causes her to cry but laugh at her the whole day. When everybody go back home, she was alone crying in the classroom. She didn't know that I returned from soccer training to get something. I watch her cry for an hour or so.
My 4th girlfriend didn't like her. There was once when both of them quarreled. I know that based on her character she's not the type that will start off the quarrel. But I still sided with my girlfriend. I shouted at her and her eyes was filled shocked. I didn't care about her feelings and walked off with my girlfriend. The next day, she still laugh & joke with me like nothing has ever happened. I know that she's very hurt but she didn't know that my heart ache is as bad as hers.
When I broke up with my 5th girlfriend, I asked her out. After going out for a day, I told her that I have something to tell her. She told me that coincidentally, she has something to tell me too. I told her about my break up and she told me about her getting together. I know whose the guy. He has been going after her for quite a while. A very cute guy full of energy, lively and interesting. His pursuit for her has been the talk of the school.
I can't show her my heart ache but could only smile & congratulate her. When I reach home, the heart ache is so strong that I can't stand it. It's like a heavy weighted stone on my chest. I couldn't breath. Wanted to shout but can't. Tears rolled down & I broke down & cry. How many times have I seen her cry for the man that doesn't acknowledge her presence too.
During graduation, I read a sms in my hp. It was send 10 days ago when I broke down and cry. I haven't read it since then. It says "Leaf departure is because of Wind pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask her to stay"

Quotes:

"Leaf's departure is because of Wind's pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask her to stay"

"Leaf's heart is too heavy and wind couldn't blow her away."

"It's not that leaf heart is too heavy. It because leaf never want to leave tree."

Another week had pass..

9 June 2007, Saturday, marked the first year of my NS life. It also mean that in another 1 more year time i am going to ord.. can't wait for that day to come.

This week i am going to clear my NDP off day on Wednesday and Thursday..

Surprise to those who visit this blog..
I have change another blog skin..

Last saturday, i was at Marina Bay Floating platform for the NDP Rehersal. I will be there on every Saturday till National Day for those who wishing to see me, I will be there without fail. Haha.. Talking about the NDP PA group that i am put in charge, majority of them are young girl age ranging from 14 to 22 years old, there are also guys among them. Sometime there can be very quiet and leave u alone, but sometime they can be quite nosiy and move around. For me, i am in charge of all their every meals and their basic need at the rehersal and most important i am in charge of their attendance at the floating platform, to ensure that when its PA turn to perform all of them are there.

After the rehersal, i meet up with my poly classmates for midnight Movie, "Pirate of the Car.. The World End" at the Cathey Dobhy Ghaut. The seat was super comfortable and the show effect was great. I had a great laugh from the movie, it was fill with comedy and action.

Yesterday, i was at home formatting my laptop. Now it perform like a brand new laptop but it also wasted one day of my time. Sigh~

Share with u some shocking moment, for my sec sch classmates and sec schmate to take note. Guys and gers have u come across the Star Search advertisement on the Wheelchair one? U take a closer look at the ger on the wheelchair and u will know. haha.. I discover it when i was performing my guard com duty on Vesak Day..

Still remember the years we left Springfield? Time did flies faster than we expected, so fast it has been 5 years since that day. For some, we have already know each other for more than 10 years, for some we have know each other for 6 years.

How i wish the i can turn back the hand of time and once again know you guys and gers again cause that is the most memorable periods of all. Where there are little worries, fun moments, joy, love and most of all friendship that can never be brought no matter how much money u have in this world.

Overseas Trip to Tawian..

Share with u guys and gers some photo of taiwan when i am there for a trip.

Taking Taiwan MRT to famous tourist site, Xi Men Tin and Shi Lin Night Market. I am not kidding u guy, Thought it look like our train but where can our train corner seat occupy 3 person?
Their Shi Lin night market was the most fun of all.. I went there for 2 night just to eat their local delight and shop around for souvenior to bring home.
Xin Men Tin was another site i like best, it look something like ours bugis street but it is bigger and more streets to shop. I spend a short 3hrs on the second day of my trip. But on the last day, i spend my entire days there. I brought a nike shirt for myself, a pair of ear ring for dear, a levis shirt for my bro and some local delight for my mum and dad. I also try the catch doll machines at xin men tin, guess what totally i caught 4 winnie the pooh baby bear, 1 trigger, 1 doraemon. It was super easy compare to Singapore one and its only cost Taiwan $10 (S$0.50).




At one of their entertainment theme park call Lui Fu Cun Le Yuan. Over here i try the condon ride.. Sorry guy got no pic to show. It is a ride that only last 3mins and it will take u off within few second to max speed.




This is the Taipei famous garden, Yang Ming Shan. Only manage to find this decent photo. Sigh..

The recent news on the Taiwan Fighter Jet F-5F that hit Hukou Camp killing 2, injure 9 Singaporean was a shock. Can't imagine if i were to return one month plus later what would happened to me. My sleeping bunk was the building underneath the crash site which is only separated by a road on the slope. Really lucky me..

Going to get busy from now till September, cause i am now on standby notice. Every time when i book out of the camp i hate to hear my handphone ring cause once its ring there maybe a possibility of a need to return back to camp on short 1hr notice. So for this 5months or so i will mostly be hanging around the east side of Singapore so that i will have enough time to response to it.

I am now also helping out in the NDP preparation. My platoon is in-charge of the People Association for the show display. Lots of Sunday already burn for the rehearsal, soon i am also going to burn my Saturday and my freedom is only on Sunday.

Hmm.. I think that should be all bah. Keep u guys and gers update again at next update then. Take care all my friends and loved one.

Being a long time since i update my blog..
In a month time going to mark my 1year in NS.. Another one more year to go and i will ORD LOH!! How i wish that day will come fast..

Hmm.. what to update? Let me think.... hmm.. uh...
This May going to be super busy in camp, got lots of outfield coming up which mean lots of weekends gonna to be burn le.. Especially sunday, cause now i am helping out in the NDP preparation.

Going for another holiday trip from October 15 onward. Which is going to last for another 3weeks plus or so..

Next, will be to have a delicious dinner with my mum, dad and aunties at the coffeeshop underneath my block.
Next, will be able to spend some time with dear and hear her talk.
Lastly, will be i get to have a better and closer look of this home call Singapore and see, feel and discover how much it have change during the days when i am not around.

Times may be tough when dark cloud cast over ur head but once u endure through it,
At the other side of it is a place fill with fulfillment and pride of accomplishment.


One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints.He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.


This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, You said that once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."


The Lord replied,
"My son, My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I Carried You."

静静的

空气里躲着什么
有点浪漫的心动
我偷偷看你
你也偷偷看我
世界上多了什么
好像变得很不同
站在你身边
这一切都好宽阔

我还在等着你
静静的爱我
只要有你陪我
静静的就足够
你也在等着我
静静的温柔
就这样手牵手
静静的看着天空

心里面藏着什么
你只想要让我懂
原来我的梦
也就是你的梦....哦
纸条上写了什么
我好想要听你说
让字字句句
充满我们的笑容

永远要记得那天彼此许下的承诺
瞬间点亮的火花
是我们的拥有
静静的手牵手
是最简单的梦

Happy New Year 2007

忘不了

为何一转眼
时光飞逝如电
看不清的岁月
抹不去的从前
就象一阵风
吹落恩恩和怨怨
也许你和我
没有谁对谁错
你的泪
忘不了你的好
忘不了醉人的缠绵
也忘不了你的誓言
何不让这场梦
没有醒来的时候
只有你和我
直到永远

41st BSLC

At the beginning u want everything to end,

at the end u want everything to go back to the beginning

The quote above describe my feeling toward the end of my course.. The training are tough and demanding but nevertheless i still push through it and pass the course with all my friends and buddies in platoon 1. Being the pioneer batch of hotel company in SISPEC really enlighten me alot throughout my 10weeks stay.. SOC to me is like a playground, i began to feel numb over it and sometime i do feel bit of uncomfortable when i didn't do it.. haha.. Gonna miss all my platoon 1 mates.. All the Best for our Future Endeavour.. Take care guys... With PRIDE we LEAD...

"Gentlemen.. I got no choice, but to c*****e u"

Coming to an end of training..

On this coming thursday, i will be promoted to cpl le.. My days of training, suffering, defining and learning moment at sispec hotel company will soon come to an end after this thursday..

Still have one more hurdle to cross before i can be a totally free man, and that is my soc.. Thought its not a veto factor to pass this course, but for my company it is must to pass.. i don't know why but i am going to do my best for the last few run.. The last soc i fail by 15sec or so.. wasted effort but i am not going to give up till i pass it..

Soon i will be getting my posting for my next unit.. Pray for me that i will be posted to a good unit..

Moment of up n down..

Back to blog again this week..
Last week, i had experience quite a number of up and down in my life as a trainee..
I fail my soc/playground test.. I didn't performed up to my own expectation. Feeling so bad when i return to my bunk after the test.. I going to give my Best and pass my soc test for my next upcoming test.. Pray for me..

Some of the worth thanking moment are.. we celebrated our course graduation party at The Chervon on thursday night. Lots of fond memories and defining moment are recap on that night.. I come in top 3 for my final assessment test (sck) from my platoon.. with the score of 79.5

Left with 2 more weeks to the end of my course, i going to train hard and endure hard to pass my soc/playground..

I'm back again!!

oh my, its has been 3 weeks since i update my blog.. let me do a gd one to keep u guys and gers update of what i had done on the past 3 weeks..

1 Week
--------

I had my fieldcamp near to the cemetery, it was not that bad after all to sleep near to it. The camp was a tired one cause almost everyday we do the same things repeatedly, charging, covering, shooting, hiding, running and proning... Everytime when hardship come, i will look upon the 4 days of long break as my motivation and push myself through it.. haha..

2 & 3 Week
------------

Oh my it was the confinement week, that very first week itself i believe i have walk for close to almost 50km of my live on feet. The entire week was fill with topographic practical lesson, all i do was walk & walk, sleep wake up and walk.. The sky was "kind", my first 2 navigation test at mandai rain heavily.. The entire week, i had to bear with wet boot and smelly socks to walk around.. During that week, i had also attain my IPPT SILVER!! Yeah.. Unbelieveable, my 2.4km i ran in at 1104min.. that was 30sec faster than my previous timing.. Going for Gold if possible..
On Sunday, i taken my navigation test on Puala Tekong, my team was damn suay, got 2 checkpoint that can't even be located ard that area.. So we went back to get to midpoint to get 2 set of new checkpoint to proceed on.. Overall, my team pass the whole test and we are also the last team to report back to the campfor both day and night navigation.. But lot of miracle do happened on that wonderful sunday..

On Monday, we started off with our individual assessment of being a section commander.. Leading a 6 men team to excuate missions.. things when on quite well.. nothing much happen only during my second and last mission where i got a small and deep cut by one of the thorny tree vein on my left hand when i prone to take cover.. blood keep flowing out from it my whole hand was cover with my blood and so do my weapon, but nothing was serious.. =) Lucky, it wasn't near to the main artery on my hand, or else things/thinks will be otherwise cause it is only abt 5cm from it.. I was send back to First Aid point for medical treatment.. then back to our camp area.. over there, my the other not assess platoon mates was fighting it out with a damn big, cunning, well-trained wild boar.. first time seen such a big one.. Thank to the wild boar we don't have to sleep in the field and we move to the shelter for our rest...

After we came back from camp, we experience our first night off.. nothing much to do actually cause i live super far away so i join up with those whose not going home for a KFC dinner, follow by a game at the game arcade.. and a resupply at the NTUC Fairprice.. and then back to camp.
Friday, i had a real shiok experience of running with real bullet firing ard u.. At first i was damn scare and all precautious was taken by my team to make sure everyone understand what to do.. But once we step onto the ground zero with our weapon ready to fire, we forgot all about it when it all started and all we did was just running and covering fire for each other as thought we are fighting with real enemies infront of us.. The night one, was a bit scary for me.. cause i am the group 2 IC, when i am running to the next bound.. i could see bullet flying past on my both left and right of me.. i was stun and shock for a few sec.. once i get to my cover.. i continue on for that moment i focus on nothing else but on the objective infront.. the shooting goes on till quite late and we had a sleepless night till the next day.. which is our bkout day, saturday..

Yesterday, when for the movie "The Guardian" at PS it was a super nice movie to watch.. recommend by me.. worth the ticket and the time to catch this movie... had our dinner at the suski ramen at cineleisure.. yummy dinner and we headed home for another show on tv, behind enemy line.. half way through the show i fall asleep.. haha..

Next week going to be a much less hectic week cause we be celebrating our graduation party at the chervon on Thurs night then can book out le.. going to be another long weekend to recharge and to enjoy... except this coming week got lot of doors to kick open and lot of soc/playground to clear.. update my blog again next week... this update was a real long entry so far...

Every week, there will be ippt.. sigh.. but i did quite well this time round.. hehe.. only left my 2.4km run to train up.. 7sec more to achieve 1140min.. to attain a silver award..

One of my Favourite Song..

我难过

那一年默默无言
只能选择离开
无邪的笑容已经不再精彩
你害怕结局所以拼命伤害
说是我挡住你的美好未来

你坚决不希望我等待
我便默默的让你走开
如今你受了伤回来
叫我如何接受这安排

我难过的是放弃你放弃爱
放弃的梦被打碎忍住悲哀
我以为是成全
你却说你更不愉快

我难过的是忘了你忘了爱
尽全力忘记我们真心相爱
也忘了告诉你
失去的不能重来

POP LOH!!!

Sit-Test

After the bookout from the fieldcamp, that sunday when book in i have to prepare for my 3 Days Sit Test, 10 days of outfield in a row.. Its was damn tired and body was aching all over..

Before the Sit-Test we do a 12km route march to our campsite.. After doing the 8km route march earlier on, 12km route march was nothing.. During the Sit-Test, i was assigned to detail Golf.. My Post was a LAW Gunner, basically the one who shot down a tank.. The LAW was heavy and its weight 6.3Kg.. Every morning 4km and 2km fast march, my buddy bion and me have to carry it whereever we go.. By the time the sit-test start, both of our hands are numb and we can't feel a thing.

During the sit-test, i was task as 2IC for both my mission.. My first mission was to clear a minefield, we use our bayonet to poke the ground to look for land mine buried underneath the ground.. Clearing halfway, one of my Mine clearer was snipe down by sniper.. I was stun, then i give a all angle cover position.. I immediately asked my medics to attend to the injure buddy and prepare for evacuate from the ground.. We carry him with a stretcher due to he was the bigger guy in our group, we were all tired out by the time we carry him to safe location.. My IC, Thomas, from platoon 2 attend for the manpower needed to carry the casulty while i do the safety cover for my group.. The mission was a success..

Day 2 mission, my mission was a lot tougher than first day. My IC was still Thomas, this time round i lead a 5 men group to rescue 2 hostages from the hostage hut.. During the rescue, my group keep retreating and going forward to rescue hostage.. At the end of the day, i send in 2 men, a navigator and a demod.. My medic was not able to go in cause he was too big size.. the moment he step onto the poles the whole structure give way.. Tank approaching! I asked my 2 buddies who are inside to try to move them.. Due to the serious injuries of the hostage and my medic not able to go in to give medical attention and the approaching tank. The whole exercise was a failure, but we still do what was task to do..

Sit Test was a test use by the saf to look for prospective commander. The success and failure of the mission was not not important. It is the process that the assesor look for that they decide to give them a chance to be the commanders..

My 2nd Confinement Weeks ("7Days FieldCamp")

After the "live" range.. That following Saturday was my 7 Days fieldcamp.. Before the camp we are busy packing our fieldpack (the green bag) and our section rations (food) and resupply bag..

On the set off day, the weather was so hot in the morning that even before we set off.. My entire uniform was already wet with sweat and the weight of my fieldpack was pulling me down to the ground.. Luckily before i had a chance to fall, my company move on to have our 8Km route march to our campsite 1, Pulau Tekong Reservoir.

Over there i tasted my first revise set of combat ration, it was heavenly.. Totally different from the impression of how bad and how inedible it is.. The foods was nice, majority I would say.. After lunch, we had our lecture and training throughout the next 2 days. Until Day 3, we move to our next campsite location, 6Km route march to Oil Palm.
Day 3 morning was a killing one, SBO attire run up and down a slope for our 5BX. My legs went numb after that. Somemore after breakfast, still have 6Km route march to our next campsite.. Lucky, it was in SBO and not FBO. Otherwise i think i will be falling out for the route march.. Many will do likewise also.. haha =)

When we are at the oil palm, we were spread out inside the oil palm plantation in a triangle formation. My sleeping and guarding area was at the almost extreme corner of the entire campsite. it was so fast away that everytime before we fall in i need to leave my area 5 mins early inorder to fall in on time.. I also experience my first outfield no light guard duty without knowing what might charge at u.. could be wild bore or some big rat or some don't know things looking at u in the inner part of the oil palm plantation.. That night, there was a lot of movement inside the inner oil palm plantation and adding to that was loud snoring sound of some of my platoon mate.. I try not to look too far inward cause i scared, somemore is the hungry ghost month.. On the second night, i heard that there are a big rat intrusion.. i need not have to do guard duty for that night as i have done it on the first.. But who care cause by 9pm, after the roaring sound of helicopters that flew past above our head.. I doze off.. Only till the next morning then i wake up.. After breakfast and shiong 5BX with run.. We have our test throughout the whole day on how to attack a target in group n section. After the test, we have a simulated real battle.. We did a well done job for the simulated battle.. Around evening we do a 3Km route march/ night confident walk to our next and last campsite, the reclaim land.

When we reached, it was already pitch dark.. After we get our bag and powder bath ourself.. We went to bed.. That night was the best night of all, cool wind and the sky was packed with stars. Too bad cannot bring camera otherwise i would have taken some shot.. And not to mention also commando, not the human commando but the mosquito commando.. the moment u stand there and dun move, they will sting u.. even ur uniform also can't protect u fully from the sting.. The next day, we dig our trench/grave.. The entire morning, i was digging and digging and digging only till late afternoon then i finish my trench which is also my bed cause i am going to slp inside for a night.. That night was a very uncomfortable night, worrying of centipide that might crawl inside and my trench length was not long enough so i cannot fully stretch out... I wake up alot of time that night, forcing myself to sleep.. But that night all our mood was, who cares whether we have enough sleep anot.. Cause tml we will all be inside our bunk, drinking cold drink and sleeping on comfortable bed..

Day 7, we wake up with no 5BX.. I cover up the trench that i dig using the entire yesterday in less than 30mins.. After that, we route march another 4km to the BIC ground at the old sispec school.. Which is the last event of the fieldcamp.. When its my turn i take up my position at the 10th position, the moment i crawl out of the cover.. I was stun, the journey was abt 100m.. I can't stand up and run cause there are real bullets firing from GPMG flying above my head.. All i could do was leopard crawl and back crawl all the way till i reached the other side of the 100m.. Half way through the journey i was totally wore out, my elbow and knee were in pain. I keep crawling and crawling cause at my pathway.. there is a GPMG firing above my head. The sound was so loud that i don't want to stay there for any single second.. When i finish the BIC, i could feel a sense of achievement.. the feeling was real great that cannot be describe by words..

At the end, we hop onto the 5-tonner (vehicles) all the way back to the company line.. =)

My 2nd Confinement Weeks ("Live Range")

Last 2 weeks ago, i had my second confinement weeks. I got confine not due to i did something wrongs but got confine because of the 7Days fieldcamp that start on the 22 to 28 July..

Way before the fieldcamp started, on the first week of the confinement.. I had a chance to fire "Live" round or live bullet that can kill.. I was shaking and excited when i reached the 100m range.. Cause i dunnoe what going to happen whether i have the courage to press the trigger of my "wife"/M16 to fire my first real bullet.. When my details was call to get our 4 magazines (a cartidge that hold the bullet) of 4 rounds each. My hands started to shake, my breathing fasten. I adjust my earplug and pull it in to the fullest to make sure that my ear is protected from the very loud noise.. My turn has come, I go into the foxhole supported position and lay out all my magazines waiting for the zeroing of my weapon and most impt the command to load my weapon. I loaded my first live round of live bullet magazine and put the safe, at this time my heart was pumping at its fastest speed ever in my life. When the command given, i unlock my safe and i aim at the target, i fire off my first shot without much thinking and never realise it at all until the recoil of the weapon pushes my shoulder abit backward then, and only at that moment i notice i fire my first shot..

After a firing 8 shot my weapon alignment was faulty, i was asked to change.. Call it concidence or what.. the weapon that i exchange with, the butt number of the "new wife" was actually my birthday.. Butt no: 233.. I carry her and my new 4 magazines, went in again to the range to zero my weapon.. I fire all 16 shot without having to zero it at all.. it was already zero according to me
For the real test, we were given 32 rounds to fire for both day n night.. 16 shot to pass.. By day time, i have already attain 10 shot.. i need another 6 for the night shot to pass my test.. when night fall.. i dunnoe how many round hit the target, all that i know was for my last 4 shot.. i hit the last target with deadly accurate shot.. At the end of the whole range i think i attain 20 shot out of the 32 rounds given.

By the time the whole range end and back to the company line, it was already 12am.. Can't imagine that we had to wake up next morning and fall in by 6am..

Booking in Soon.. Going for my dinner now.. Will update my blog next week abt the another event of the 2nd confinement Weeks, which is the 7Days fieldcamp.. And also this week booking in event, Sit-Test, 12km route march and the scariest of all, Real Live Grenade Throw on this coming friday (4Aug)..
See ya next week..

My first week of BMT

Last week was a busy schedule week.. When for IMT (Individual Marksmanship Test) and GAC (Grenade assault Course).

The IMT i did quite ok, think hit abt 20 out of 32 shots. My weak point was the fig 15, 1/5 of the whole body, basically is only the head reveal lah. Can't see anything at all when it is at 50m or 100m away only a small black dot. I use my gut feeling and shoot, lucky me i manage to hit 1 out of 4 snap target..

The GAC was a tired one. I leopard crawl with frog and its baby beside me.. It was damn dirty, wet and tired after i reached from point to point. The whole course was 100m. To me it was like 200m, super tired and i can't feel my hand anymore after the course.

Today, going to book in at 2045.. Tml morning going to shot 'live' range.. It's going to be boring cause only get to shoot 20mins and wait for 6hrs inorder to shoot again. Next week is my confinement cause of fieldcamp on the 22nd July, cannot come out. haiz..
After my fieldcamp, rest for a day will be my Sit Test on 31July. Hope that i can endure through both camp.

Hope that my cough will recover before the fieldcamp, being coughing for ard 3 weeks le..
