Anyway, I got a job finally. Its nice. Gonna start real soon on 16Aug :)

Heavier mentally

2010-07-27T23:10:00.002+08:00

Job hunting for a mth already. still nothing. getting depressing .

Woke up each day with an ever increasing heavy heart.

I just wonder when can I get one. Its like wasting my time totally.

How I wish I'm rich and poof, i will have a normal student life again. Its soooo frustrating that I got into a good uni but I cannot afford it. And now I am pathetically finding a job here as I study part time.

I dont know if I am add pressure to myself, I tried to tell myself not to be stress but it just come in within. Outside, I pretend to be happy and confident of myself. In reality, I suck totally.

Thankfully, this blog is dead. I can just write and post w/o many people noticing.

Hope that things gonna be better real soon :)

ORD LOR

2010-06-22T19:57:00.002+08:00

Yup, 9th June, I got my IC. Nothing extraordinary, it just feel real great to be a civilian once again, see my pink IC.

Few to Christchurch too and chck out the Southern Alps
ANyway, i will post photo soon on FB and here too.

Quite surprise to see Karin giving me a farewell SMS on the day I left. :) Though nothing special but I thought it was real sweet. :) Thanks

Had lots of family bonding time, 11 days of it :) Seeing so many nice scenery and rainbow over a hill, something I see in books appearing right infront of me .

Got back on 21st, feeling stress nw.I really need a job badly, hoping to get interview and stuff to get it going. Really wish to leave Singapore

Thanks Adam and Baoyun :)

2010-05-26T03:42:00.003+08:00

My past 1 week have been fantastic. I got to thanks Adam and Baoyun for that. We had about 5 nights together. The best part, there was car everywhere we went.

It was very sudden and started out on the day they met me after powerhouse. Real random considering we didnt meet up for a long time since the start of 2010.

We had food at jalan kayu, Dempsey,geylang, mahjongs, Lan game. And getting HOR LAND while in the car. Having 3 different 4th player on the mahjong game.

Full of craps. :) Full of Joy. This is call friendship ;)

Something short, but just feel like writing it since I am having my shiraz cabernet by myself.

Somehow, i recalled those days after i regretted breaking up with u. Had red wine to numb myself to bed. Ever since then, I dont think I have any one anymore. Being single for so many years already. Just hoping to have someone nice real soon.

Some updates and fun I had :)

2010-05-04T20:19:00.002+08:00

I was at St james Powerhouse few days back with my poly mates and secondary school friends. It was really fun, had vodka all night, got high in the club and just pure madness with my mates. :)

School started too. Given notes and stuff and I find that I understand stuff so much better as compare to my days in RP where there are PBL and it was hard to understand concept. But now concept on paper , lecturer teach us and with own self-study, I seem to be more confident with what I am learning now. Glad to have friendly dudes in the class too. :)

36 more days to go to ORD :)

the feeling I have yet to feel for a long long time

2010-04-11T21:33:00.002+08:00

It been a long time since I wrote something. But anyway, just thought of blogging so YEAH.

Was out with Bonnie yesterday. First meet up since so long back. Aint gonna put any details like watch what movie and so on.

Anyway, sent her back after that. Somehow the bus-ride was particularly sweet for me. The feeling was something I havent felt for so long.

I admit, I threw away my chance last year by letting her go. She got attached, I got jealous. But still spoke to her. Even though many stuff happen from the time we were kinda close. But the feeling I had yesterday was really different.

Been a long time since I would check my HP whenever it rings and hoping it was her.
Sound like some small little young dude. But whatever it is, I know.

Aint hoping that much. As usual, gonna see how stuff goes. But I know this time I wont let go, if I get to hold on to her again. :)

AMM 2010

2010-03-23T17:26:00.003+08:00

Finally had AMM like 2 weeks back with my usual AMM KAHKIS. Damon, Guang Ling and Melissa Tan.

Seriously if mahjong can always be like playing with them, it would be awesome. It was full of fun and laughter. It does not matter if you really lose that much cause the fun compensated for everything.

As usual, the major comical points were directed to Mr Damon Giam. With his BEI fong tiles. Throwing to me to game with 5 tais. He was damn slow, seriously, after so long, I thought he has change so much but he was still slow. We all wanted 2 games but due to the speed factor. 1 was all that we can have.

Hopefully he gonna be real fast the next time we meet up :)

Farewell for my Brother

2010-02-20T15:15:00.003+08:00

Was at Butter last friday for my Brother farewell. I think they opened like 3 vodka and a moet and Shadon champagn.

The day started out with me coming back from work early in the morning before going for my driving test. And its really Happy CNY for me, I am cleared to DRIVE. :) Next, headed down to My relative place for a reunion dinner.

Went down to Butter with Bro and Treviz. Thought everything would be quite fast but I was wrong. The quene was horrible even with table reservation. Even the VIP were quening. I was thinking which dumb head will get a butter VIP. Obviously alot.

Finally got it, then its no hold barred. Just drink and drink. Before going out with Viz and his 3 female friends for a bottle of alcohol and games. And poor me, got to drink like mad for I was unlucky to stand beside Sherylin. Anyway, went back to the club and had champagn. Today I seriously felt the impact of it.

3.20 we drank. 3.50 bid goodbye to the 3 ladies then set on the sofa. And that it, I was stoning already. And my bro had to drag me home. :)

See my students once again

2010-01-30T15:04:00.003+08:00

Got an sms telling me that the sec4 cckss student were having a camp and there I went, down to bottletree to check out on my ex-students. Time flies, they are gonna have olevels already. Sometimes it made you feel abit old, nevertheless, the feeling was great.

Went down on the first day with no one. And saw one of the instructor there so stayed there to chat while waiting for the kids to come back. And it was Kel who came back first. So we started talking rubbish again. Oh yea, saw yao xin soon after too.

Groups came back back back. And then class 4.4 came back, the class that have most of my ex-campers there. And its abit of photo time. Sorry Esmond, it may be abit hard for you to control them at that moment.

Then, Esmond was having a fever and I got to like take over him for an activity. Oh man, what fate is that.Taking back a class with majority ex students. How awesome :)

After the first day, I have this urge to wanna go back and took OFF to get back. This camp ,I get to interact more with the other students but partly cause I am not a group instructor. And my leg is well now. :) Still rmb the days taking cckss with my injury. :(

First time going back to a camp since NP Camp in March. Instructors were rather friendly this time. or maybe I was lucky to know this group of instructors and with such a group of HIGH students. Things were always gonna be easier.

Overall, still felt I can communicate to the new instructors who are willing to learn the ropes too. :) And Will, he AIC, one hardworking guy. Totally, always happy to take in advise or even suggestions. I hope he gonna have a great awesome years in camp. :)

Next, i wonder when will I go back again. :) maybe I will , maybe nah.

Till then. :)

23 at Swiss Hotel for Bo Shi

2010-01-23T06:13:00.002+08:00

Was at Swiss Hotel last week 2 celebrate Bo Shi birthday. It was small but fun. playing drinking games and playing WII. I'm a noob, that is my first time playing WII. Really really enjoyable I guess.

My 2nd time there, oh yeah. Jeff was dead damn noisy. Seriously ,its either he dont drink or he get totally knocked out. We wanted to sleep but he is like some spoilt motor engine going on and on and on. He even forget where he put his MP3 and we had to find for him till he realise in the morning then he placed it in Kel's Bag.

Had some JAP food before going home and have a good rest at home. :)

Happy 2010

2010-01-02T02:21:00.002+08:00

Its here finally. 2010 :)

Its been the year I been looking forward to. ORD year. NS havent been that physical for me since being in SPF but has been rather mundane so being in the new year is very encouraging for me.

Honestly, there is nothing much in 2009 that really impact me. I guess meeting NP leaders is one of the highlight. Doing a tetiary camp is different and I learn alot from them too.Loads of fun too

I was in a relationship not too long back in 2009 but I am glad it ended. Maybe I'm an asshole but at least I'm following my heart. Maybe status do matter in life, being in where I am and the environment, I just cannot accept that my girl aint hitting my expectation .I tried to get out of it. but I could not ,so in the end she's hurt. But I guess a prolong one gonna suck big time too. I wish u can live on your life even if its means no more contacts.

Siyan Bday was an important event. It helped me to reconect to people who were once close to me and I am glad that this connection have been once established again. And they are to my bros Wei Sheng and Zhen Wei. And Grace too :) . It that strong even we spent new year eve together and with some other 4E3 peeps.

I hope 2010 will be a fruitful one for everyone. :)

MY weeks

2009-12-24T15:07:00.002+08:00

I guess its been a rather great week. Sorry all words and shorts post instead. Photo will be uploaded next time.

First had dinner with GuangLing last friday before she flew off to Seoul for her vacation and seeing all small eyes guys like me. Had a meal at manhattan fish market and catching up with stuff all that before going down to Clark Quay to walk around. I thought that was this Ministry of Bell performance that was quite interesting playing all the xmas songs. :)

After that went down to Yi Kai Chalet. The last of the 21st. It was cool, once again ,drinking like crazy. playing weird games. And this time, Mel Jinxed me totally.
Anyway, never thought I'll have a good sleep till about 12noon. When I woke up, there were like 3 of us left. Me, Mel and YiKai.

Had lunch with Mel. and playing basketball game at the arcade. haha . Free milk tea for mel before leaving back to home. :)

My bad My Bad

2009-12-09T22:36:00.001+08:00

Oh man, what am I gonna do. Its matters, yet she's nice and I'm trying very hard to be like how I am few weeks back but its getting tougher as the peeps I been mixing are all of my level and people that can "click" with me much better" .
I didnt know it matters that much ,I thought I could change but its too tough from how I was brought up and people I mix with. Now I dont know how to rectify it.

Zouk 3rd Dec

2009-12-05T09:58:00.008+08:00

Yup, I was at Zouk on 3rd December after being away from the clubs for 5mths. I thought it was fun , chilling,drinking and meeting new friends which is a never ending agenda on each occasion. Before heading down to Zouk, met up with Tricia, Jane, Ming Jie and Gabriel for a meal at Tampopo.

After dinner, Bo Shi and Kelvin caught up with us and accompanied them for dinner before going down to Zouk to meet the girl

New way to get high is to get down to the convinence store at holiday Inn and have some cheapo bottles to get going for the party. Went twice, first time, had green tea as we thought it was so not ATAS to be drinking on the street. And , however went a 2nd time with the people in the photos below and finally got our drink.

Anyway, saw Sheramine, Gina and Evon Tan there as well. I think its quite cool to see secondary school friends. And being sengkang people, Took cab back with Nicholas and Gina.

Hope arise

2009-11-15T15:09:00.002+08:00

The dream of going oversea seem to have dwindle alot during the past months but a lifeline was given. My brother application got accepted and he will be leaving for Sydney soon to work.

I am hoping he will be staying there for long so I can go over next time and maybe even becoming a PR. This will totally alevate my hopes of even finding a job there next time.

All along we dream of leaving and now the chance is here but its outta of my control. I have planned alot but aint really the one controlling it as my brother is the key I believe.

Just hope things will goes on well and I just do my part. Once ORD. things will become more real :)

Hail the Dead

2009-11-03T15:14:00.004+08:00

Hail the dead totally. I was out at Brewerkz drinking with Grace and Wei Sheng. Just some casual hanging out session.

After that walked around Clark Quay seeing some interesting human figurines of devil,monster and cartoons. Oh man, should have organize and dressed up and just join in the fun. Being there make me wanna party so much once again.

Still, its was a day for guys to eye girls. Singapore halloween means "Girls can dress up sluttily" . And no doubt, you see many japanese porn star wannabe. Though its not really fitting for halloween but guys get to see it, so why not . haha
Bastard me ;)
haha

10th June 2008 was my enlistment and since then we been waiting for Jeremy to get in and finally he is in. haha . Means left about 8months more to serve before ORD looo.

Anyway, we had a farewell lunch for him at Swiss Hotel. The food was quite nice. Local food together with Sashimi and mussels. YUMMMY :)
Making him drink some Oyster shoots. and faking him on the green tea. Damn it, be a man. fucking timid shit mouse. haha

After that went to Chinatown to sing K with Baoyun, my long er and diao we with 2 friends from Bao. ;) It was zhen wei last Attend C before going back camp. So we had mahjong at his place with Mui Peng before going home at 2am or so.

Positive result showing :)

2009-09-30T10:30:00.002+08:00

My recent regime of swimming,working out and running is starting to show results.Somehow, my recent "rekindle" friendship with my pals have be very encouraging. We worked out, smoked at times and play mahjong as well. Motivating each other as we trained. It seem we just understand each other. Pal are really hard to come by, especially those that understand you. :)

Oct is coming, means one month down again. 8months plus left as an NSF. I cannot wait to get out and finding my directions. Currently, in some department which doesnt give me any sense of accomplisment really make my life mundane in terms of "work".

:)

Monday Mahjong Session

2009-09-25T17:03:00.004+08:00

Once again, I'm with my "Legend of the Condor Heroes" again. This time at my place. Before that we met Grace and MuiPeng for lunch before BaoYun meet us.
Siyan joined us later in the day.

It was a full of laughter day with Baoyun pratically got herself intou our "bad books" with her teasing and calling Zhen Wei "BAI KAI BAI CHIU PI KA CHU"

Siyan was her usual classic self of being BLUR. She did another stunt when she got a 7 bamboo. She went to count how many bamboos there were. hahaha :) And Baoyun got infected by Siyan diesease and start to count the number of tiles she arranged as well.

After that ,went to BK for dinner before heading back to our own respective area again.

exhausted totally

2009-09-09T18:28:00.002+08:00

I guessed I am tiring myself greatly but then again I felt very satisfied with it.

Went to jog yesterday again around Sengkang before going on to work. And I woke up at 9am yesterday and it seem I became normal again. Suddenly I feel that one really need a good rest and not always have a late night which result in waking up late which leads to having a "shorter" day.

And end shift at 8am today and proceed on to meet Wei Sheng and Zhen Wei for our swim. We agreed on 30laps today but somehow we did 42 laps . OMG, I was quite shock that I manage to do it. But its super exhausting and with the lack of sleep sustain, the swim was doubly hard. Anyway I am glad that we did it within 1 hour and 40min. May not be anything much to swimmers but to non swimmers who just started to swim again like us, I guess I can say it was a great result.

After that slack around compass pt for lunch, Rivervale Plaza to slack and heading to Wei Sheng house to chill.

Back to the Past :)

2009-09-07T09:55:00.002+08:00

Ever since Siyan 21st Bday. I have been meeting Zhen Wei and Wei Sheng. Had out HTHT session. "HEART TO HEART TALK". haha

Anyway, healthier lifestyle for us, went swimming. 20 laps each but we gonna increase the number of laps as we swim more often. So yeah, hope to have a nicer body in the future. With swimming and jogging. I guess it would be good for me. Increasing stamina and stuff.

Oh yeah,.Wei Sheng sent me "The End ofKian Hao".OMG, super old school. It give great memories to us.

Basically my life has been circling around my own area. Not much of travelling farout, I guess I am sick of it. Its so sickening that you are always the odd one that have to travel back. Maybe for too long, it become a turn off to go out. Totally feeling that now. :(

But overall, life been fairly great.

SKSS 4E3 2004 MATES Meetup

2009-09-01T20:49:00.002+08:00

Had a 21st Birthday chalet again. This time it was Siyan 21st. OLD TIME FRIENDS. Kinda nice seeing ex schoolmates again. Been a long time and now everyone have became adults.

Basically spend the hours there talking and smoking all that crap. What to do with NS guys right. Have not really met up with each other for a long time, so naturally we have many stuff to talk about and being old time friends, i guessed the way we talk to each other is different from poly mates and so on.

We were like reminiscing the past with topic no. 1 Kian Hao. Started with his Centre parting hairstyle. Then to the techno song Wei Sheng and Ghim Hunt created. "KIAN CUM REMIXXXXXX, KIAN HAO KIAN HAO KIAN HAO, GEN HAO GEN HAO GEN HAO" and with his ending words of "AHHHHH CHEEE BYEEE ARRRR". haha good old days, we even had it on our mobile those days.

For Siyan Bday, I guess seeing her sister also make us feel old. Remind me and Zhen Wei that just bare 5 years back, we watched Euro 04 funny in her place and now her sis have all grown. The days, I got tortured by the youngest one and the 3rd who looked like a dorky girl became a Swan now too. Ok maybe not ,cause they are tanned. As for Siqi, nothing to say la since I been chatting with her online also. HAHAHA

After that , Pei Yi and Mui Peng joined us and stayed over at my place with the gang. The entertainment from Mui Peng and Zhen Wei was super hilarous, it was classic, all time classic. I miss my days :)

I think I am glad to know friends like them, even though we dont contact all the time but once we meet up, we wont feel awkward. Being transffered student , I guess me and Chew are lucky to have meet people like Zhen Wei who was like our first pals there and that help us to others as well.

Anyway, life move on, we are going on to the next phase in life next year when we ORD. But I believe the friendship will stay. Kudos :)

I have not see afternoon for 4 days

2009-08-25T22:16:00.002+08:00

It start off on Saturday day shift and since I did not buy lunch so means I didnt see afternoon that day.
After that met up with Kelly and Jaz before going on to the chalet in Pasir Ris.
The chalet was cool, met up with alot of old colleagues and friends. Crapping as usual. :)

It was damn nice to slack with Terence,Xiao Wei and Jeremy. My camp pals.
Came back at like 4 am and some nice soul from other chalet gave us cans of Coffee and Fruit Tea. In the end ,we play the game secret code with Jaz,Terence,Xiao Wei,Zhong Wen,Elizabeth, Sam Koh and ZhongWei's friend Ryan. It was madness. Oh yeah and ZI HAO. haha. He drank the most coffee and vomitted like some coffee dispenser. It was utterly disgusting. haha Evil

Went home at 8am and slept till 6pm before oging for my nightshift.
And after finish nightshift, i went home and slept again cause I had to cover Jaz as he is on MC. So today after coming back from nightshift, i slept throughout the afternoon again.

That why, I yet to see afternoon for 4 days. haha :P

Halfway Past August

2009-08-22T00:35:00.002+08:00

August seem to be a quick month. We are halfway through.
Lucky that I was back paid of my SGT allowance or else had much lesser this mth cause We forget to submit meal Allowance.

Had quite a mouthful week I guess,ate so much. Damn it. Started on Sunday at Marina Country Club, Sakura Grill with family, my bro gf and her family.It was really filling ,the place seem like bringing the good old days back with stuf upgraded and seem to be much more crowded. Prolly I Should chill out there soon. The food was so-so.

Tuesday after day shift went to Simpang Bedok with Micheal, Fook Ping, Zul and Jeffrey. Went home super full. We had sweet chicken, baby squid, Satays, Stingray,Kangkong and Tom Yum Soup. Yum Yum.Thumbs UP :)

Just came back from kelvin bday chalet. Just day 1, tmr day shift, if not I wld have just stay on there.

Recently, I kinda start to enjoy time being alone somehow. I dont know why. I am lazy to go out far or meet up with people. And I kinda stop meeting with random groups of friends all that. Especially with CHA people. I dont know , somehow I just feel like moving on and hang out with others as well whom I may have neglected.

Somehow its scary when all your friends are attached. somehow or rather I am feel extra even though my buddy were still their normal self and not those "ZHONG SE QING YOU" kinda peeps. But still, the feeling ,I dont know. Abit envious I should say.

Soccer

2009-08-12T22:14:00.006+08:00

Took off last friday for soccer at Tamp Safra Futsal court. Its was like a celebration for ShiYang who turn 21. :) Happy Birthday Bro .

TheGuys

Soccer was fun totally, one group of Guys, all secondary schoolmates together. It feel liek you are being yourself. Probably image aint a big issue as we know each other since years back.

First time we kinda took quite a number of photo I guess and videos of us playing. :)

After that, went to Bedok SimPang for a meal before going to PS to watch "Where got Ghost" with Shiyang,Zhen Wei, Xiao Wei Sheng, WeiXiang and WS younger sis. I didnt even caught her name haha .

ANyway, sitting on the pick up was a bit crazy. Together with WeiSheng, crap throughout the journey ji-siaoing each other. Just like good old days :)

All of a sudden, I watched like 4 movies in 3 weeks. That is so unlike me for years. Ice Age, Obsessed, Harry Potter and The Haunting. I guess the last time I had movie craze was the period before I went into a Poly. :P But all been great.

Anyway, Met up With Yun Ru for Harry Potter.OMG, its like watching together since the 2nd HP movie. And our date has manage to go on until now. Thats like so many years ,ever since we were in Secondary School. Now , she graduate from a POLY already too. Is the years passing simply too fast. I wonder.

Some stuff about the trip on previous post

My Aust Trip

2009-06-23T00:17:00.003+08:00

TOTALLY AWESOME. This what I have for my trip to Melbourne from 31st May to 9th July.

Visited the suburbs area for the first 2 days. Drove to Port Cambell to stay. The apartment was fantastic, only rich people stay in these places here. Along the way, we alighted to check out the many nice scenery along the Great Ocean Road and the best is seeing the 12 Apostle which is made naturally but now ther is only 8 as the rest had collaspe.

Day 2 went to Grampians. Which is at the mountain area. Basically its like the first day with many scenery .I means its the suburbs right. :) Had stayed in an apartment too. With kangeroo hoping around. It was really nice.

Man, these are the 2 days I had which wer peaceful ,something our jolly old Sgp will never offer us.

Day 3, went all the way back to Melbourne. And had some sight seeing on the way back. And reached melbourne at about 7pm Aussie Time. Its 2 hour faster than Singapore.

After that walked around with Jeremy. We stayed near Crowns Casino and its quite near to Flinders Station.

Day4, went to meet up with Sam Peck and Amanda. Shopping around melb city. Sam peck is one hell of a fun girl . haha, and got teased by us for not knowing Melb more than us. Then my JINGZI. Amanda came to looked for us.

Me and Amanda were like saying. We met at a ULU place call Jalan Baterah and then went out in Orchard and now meeting up in Melb. :)

After that we went down to Liagone street to have a meal. Jeremy ordered a steak which was super thick and huge. In the end, he cut some portion for us to eat. Had ice cream and went down to Buretti for coffee. Oh yeah, Jerry joined us for the ice cream halfway and had ice cream.

Went back home after that .. I rmb 3 aussie youth just chat up with us randomly. Wanted to club but had expensive stuff with us .so better not.

Went to wineries on day6. Had lots of great wine and ports. And its much cheaper. I got a Port called OLD BOY 21 at de botilivio if i am not wrong in spelling. And nice scnery again.

Shopped like crazy the next day at Direct Factory Outlet. Met Sam Peck again at night for a meal at Mekong. Nice viet place. and went to this Hong Kong liked shop too for pancakes. After that , went to Pancake Parlour.

Coming back to SINGAPORE was realy boring I GUESS/ I missed melbourne totally.How I wish I can not come back and stay and build up career there. Its the type of life I want, much slower, people are more real. Singaporean are tooooo superficial.

Photo on the post above. ALL PHOTOS ARE ON FACEBOOK

Bye Singapore for 10days

2009-05-31T14:54:00.002+08:00

I am leaving Singapore today for Melbourne. Vacations :)

First trip down the globe so I guess it would be really exciting. Gonna see the great ocean and staying at the suburs for a few days before going back to the city where I'll meet my FairField Methodist mirror. Jing ZI Jing ZI Amanda hahaha .

I applied for RMIT yesterday too. A 4 years course at RMIT in Aust. Intership program is given so I kinda hope I can get to study there. I guess there is no problem in me getting in but just a matter of issue back home in Singapore.

Gonna explore my options too and hopefully to have a plan before I ORD next year June. And yes, one more Cpl Pay and its promotion time :)

24th May 09, not a day to remember.

2009-05-25T01:10:00.002+08:00

First shock of the day. Someone I knew pass away. He was one good man. Being sick, he remain a positive person. Even though we aint like friends that hang out and stuff but whatever we do camp, we do share moment of laughter with each other.

Suddenly, I thought about Gan Eng Seng Pri Sch Leadership camp last year in Labador, I remembered, we in a group just ate stuff and chat up and had laughter. I think that was the last time, we gather as on grp of instructor chatting. Life is short, be positive.

Yup, Newcastle got relegated. Tears drop the moment the final whistle was blown. Newcastle isnt suppose to be there, with the players, they shouldnt be there. But I dun understand, why. Luck was often against Newcastle this season and so is the quality of play. There is simply no link up between the players.

I guess in Singapore,its rare to find a Newcastle Supporter. New soccer fans will support only winning team so that the so called passion in Sngapore. Ladies, simply going gaga over the handsome face but not so much on skill. True soccer fans do exist though.

YES, even though we gone down but I am not forsaking Newcastle for any other club. 14 years and counting.

Today is like a double blow in a way, double death.

Somehow reality of life is taking its toll on me

2009-05-03T17:42:00.003+08:00

While 3 things happened. Negativity for me. Maybe its dumb for people but I dislike it.

1st thing : My shift changed to 1 day 1 night 1 off then day night off again. So means no more 2 days off but 1 day and it suck.Coming back after night shift, I can slp for awhile only and then too lazy to go out after that. So pratically no outside life for the moment.

2nd thing: Fuck some pple in work. Backstabber but thanks God, its like well known. Pure hypocrisy. Acting nice in front. Please know your facts before telling people. Too bad, u meet me, when someone told me. I straight tell the person the true story. Ask your own man before you wanna spread stuff. Maybe Uniform personnel are there coz they cnt study and that why lack of this kind of cognitive thinking skill.

3rd thing: I wonder if a buddy is a buddy, using my name to protect himself to get his girl. And then it just add on negative perception of me. Thankfully, she knows me , knows me well in a way and know I dont play this kind of joke when I know the story. Stop it, you play with fucking fire, u fucking extinguish it. Dont use my name. I yet to talk about it but probably I'll just keep it low and shut my mouth.

This are 3 stuff that hit me in recent weeks.

But yeah, how can one's life just being bad right. Some smiles too.

Went to Aizhen 21st birthday on 30th April. Small gathering with Nest,Jeff,Darren, Tricia,Jane and Ai Zhen herself. Nice to always meet up with them, I mean we dont meet up as often as in poly days bt each meet up, we dont feel awkward but still open up to each other ,talking like nobody business. haha

2 Nights back met up polymates of Sueanne, Sherline,Fel,Guang,Jona, Justin and YingChing at Minds. Short 2 hrs of board games but with lots of laughter and fun. :)

Poly classmates :)

SPF Guys

Just that feeling

2009-04-27T01:03:00.002+08:00

Been ages since I updated it so I presume not many people are reading it unlike last time. Probably its abit easer to pen down some stuff here.

For these 2 years odd, met lots of people, hanging out and stuff, conversing with each other even some to the extent of getting together but did not materialise in the end. Kind of bastard but then again, maybe she wansnt the right one.

Finally, I kind of met someone, while not really met in a way cause I didnt even recall meeting her both times. To start with, we should not have even start. But well, it was simple message that we sent though reply came like days or weeks after that. No direct chats at all.

Recently, thing changed, she gt more time and finally got her mobile and stuff and started to text her. Chatted alot. :) Somehow,I always looked forward to her sms, its just like the old days when I msg smeone I had a liking for. That feeling just came.

But I must admit,that I always wanted to know her more during our long reply days. :)

Still early days. Hope something will blossom out from here. Dont want to go back to my past life again :)

Belated Birthday for me hehe

2009-03-30T22:42:00.003+08:00

I felt quite blessed honestly, as in not religiously but like having great friends around. Had an outing with my Poly forum mates last week. Watched The tales of Desparaex, quite a cute movie I guess.

ANyway, not important, haha they bought a cupcake and sang birthday song for me, haha though it was like 1month 10days late but it was great, who get to have this kind of small little celebration after it passed for quite some time. Its nice to see them and prolly gonna see them this week for Wendy 21st. :)
Year for the 1988.

Recently, been going out and busy checking out some Further studies stuff. Hoping to study in Aust in Uni Mel. Yup :) If things goes on smoothly, I'll be off after ORD. But aint gonna have too high hopes yet. It all depend I guess.

Some photo taken during our outing :)

NP PMC Camp

2009-03-16T16:49:00.004+08:00

Had a call pass 12midnight while I was having duty and Eunice asked me to be an instructor for the NP camp so I agreed.

Went down to BTP at like 11 plus , meeting my groups. ACES. with 2 OC Rainy and Jonas. Was quite happy to be doing this camp since I had to back out from the camp last year.

It was quite fun actually, seeing them learning and crapping with one another. We played Dry rafting and Candlelight war for day1. 2 activities that help to bonded the group together cause I really see them going all out and protecting each other during the 2 action-packed games. Whether we win or lose, they never complaint but encourage each other. It was being part of a SL I guess.

Candle light war was the game that Jonas got his nickname of being the BLOWER. There was once when all 3 groups were seen attacking us.I was quite astounded by it then I realise, Only Aces was left with 1 baloon and the rest had theirs destroyed. GOOD JOB :)

Next day, we had amazing race in the morning.I like the pace the group go. The group are more concern about doing things as a group and not rush even though there were hiccups during the process but we can rectify it. Went back the first team and we started all the camWhoring and stuff again :) .

After that edurance training with me leading and treating them like how we were treated in NS. It was abit fun honestly, to whack them left right centre. For the guys I would say, Just endure, u are going to NS . For the ladies , OPPZ SORRY :P Instructions from higher authority hehe. Ended with squeeze and spread, it was physically tiring. I could have ate a cow after that. Most of us ended with cuts and bruise everywhere.

Had campfire and I thought ACES was great again, the highness of Aces was excellent I should say:) . BOOM BOOM BOOM :)

Lastly, Maybe I was quite rusty already in a way for its my first time taking a group since June last year before enlistment. But I hope I still did the best I can. And being a former poly student as well as an SL for freshies before helped me in interacting with them and hopefully whatever that I brief was related to them as well.

AWARENESS helps you to decide what kind of COMMUNICATION method is the most effective way for you to INFLUNCE your student.

Good ATTITUDE and DISCIPLINE is the key to SUCCESS.

Leaders must always be FLEXIBLE and DECISIVE in GUIDING your student.

A right decision may not always be consensual.

Some Photos on my Birthday :)

MCS camp

2009-01-25T00:42:00.002+08:00

I guess It was nice going down.
These are the reason why I went down.

1) I owe Eunice 1 camp :P
2) My buddies are ther namely Jeremy, Xiao Wei,BaoYun and Euniceeeeee haha
3)I heard MCS was a great school

So went down right after my night shift with many stuff on my hands as I had to packet for them.

Anyway, it was quite nice going down, the instructor were simply awesome for as far as I remember it had been a long time since I had this feeling ,even though I went down for PRC and BLSS camp, the feeling was not as gd as this.

Somehow , this camp brought old memories like playing game till late at night, instructor crapping around. And had lunch all that after camps. The dynamic, hehe, was just simply WOOOHOOOO.

Sad to say, many of them are leaving SGP with Yukai the first to leave.Anyway, post up some photos of the camp :)

Stepped Back In after .....

2009-01-19T14:20:00.005+08:00

Yup, I got back into a club last Friday finally.It was sooo freaking damn long since I last stepped into one which I clearly remember it was in St James in 2007. So people ,Rendall is not the clubber you all always call him in the past :P.

Anyway, Had a meal at Fisherman Wharf with Carissa, Nicole(Seen each other before while in CHA) and Samathan (New friend) haha .Or stranger which one photo suggested. The fish and chip were great but it was rather filling. Next head down to ACM Indochine for a drink when Alicia joined us

CHEERS

Rendall ,Nicole,Samantha and Treviz

Cancer girl in her final happy moment:) What crap haha
Head down to butter factory after that.It was my first time and obviously,we were youth of the ageing population there since for guyz it was 23 and above. The music wasnt that bad but the songs tends to drag for too long as if we were listening to the whole song.

That's when the alcohol just got to come in isnt it to get us going. Had Ribena Vod and Red bull vod, it was 1 for 1 so means ther are 4 jugs. Next we had 4 burburn coke. And I swear it was one of the nicest mixture of burburn coke I ever had . The coke and alcohol were just right for each other. No wonder Sam told me it was real good before drinking.

Simply in the club :)

The ladies

Weeee !!!!!

After that, got 10 shot of Tequila. 5 people so each of us gonna down 2. And that the trick to get kind of high in the club. We were high but not till drunk and the effect kinda die off as soon as the club close at 3am.

HEY STRANGER :)

Alcohol ladies :P

Nic and Sam

Me and Viz

Song for the night is LOW and Womanizer :P

First Post of the year :P

2009-01-10T11:07:00.001+08:00

Basically had quite a nice new year so far. Nothing much happening though.

Started the year at home with Cyril ,Jeremy,Kelvin,Xiao Wei and Leisha. Basically just playing board games and mahjong. And had a great view of a firework display right outside of my place. Getting the video from Xiao Wei Soon :).

Following that, went to Sueanne place for her birthday and meeting up with Poly mates like JunGuang,Fel,Sherline, Shaun and Mel for sure. Drank Cordone bleu. Its indeed good alcohol. :P

Met up Yun Ru for IP Man, its very nice show and yea, my first movie of the year:P. The fighting style was simple awesome so smooth unlike the usual aggression you see in fights. Anyway, it was our first meet up after a long time, The last time we met was in 2007 for Harry Potter. Nice seeing her again.

Had PCB for Boon lay sec and was surprise and Happy that Baoyun was doing, someone I know at least. And saw small Zul who was my fellow Ambassadors in RP and Amelia whom I did Dunman High with but I cannot recognise. CampHA getting too big.

The camp was great,the student were fantastic. Hype up and did not give many trouble. Maybe the teachers were abit troublesome but overall it was alright.This year,the blend of experience and inexperience is like 3 is to 13 for my side , and for other camps could have been 1 is to 10 and so on. Therefore, new instructor was unable to really see how our culture is and therefore, overall, we were unable to maximise the camp to the highest level.

I believe if we have the right blend, BLSS would have see a very very HYPE up camp. Anyway, had to conduct dry-rafting for the 2nd day. Campfire was nice but could have been better like I said earlier.

I do miss camp, aint sure when will I be able to do camps again. Break camp yesterday and kinda miss the school after that for the student were really fun. :)

Anyway, will upload of photo taken during 2009 soon :)

2008

2008-12-31T15:31:00.002+08:00

I guess 2008 is the period where I should say I have 3 transition change. But what to expect since I got enlisted this year.

Started the year as usual with school and FYP presentation. And finally graudating in Feb or something and officially a Diploma Holder. I guess the feeling was great since I was getting no motivation to study in RP.

But for the first 6mth, I been doing camps as well. Started the year with East View Sec3 camp at St John Island with my first mirror for the year Jolene and Jaclyn. It was a great camp with them and the instructor feeling was super great those days.

Further Up came Unity Primary school after I graduate. And of course SAC camp which was a fantastic one with class 2.5 :P
Had Macpherson Sec, HCI before my injury which cause me to b stuck at home for about a mth. damn it.

Had lots of great camp after that. Somehow after my injury I couldnt have any complaints for the school I done. For they had been really fun people. I had CCKS,Tanglin sec, Maha Bodhi,River valley primary,Clementi Town pri, Dunman High,Fairfield,Gan Eng Seng Pri,NUS High and Tampines Sec which was my last ever camp before June 10 2008.

Then the big change. My enlistment, June 10th. Went into HOME TEAM ACADEMY ,the training institue for Police Officers. It was quite memorable I should say. And it was nice to have many fellow RP mates there and during the process, get to meet many people.
Startd learning all the basic law, shooting and stuff. And got an IPPT Silver and was 3rd overall in squad. Sadly, due to my mild color blindness, i wasnt able to get into NPCO which was quite crap.

Posted to Ministry of Home Affair instead, with Homefront Security Division. Thats where I met many fun people like Chua, Chris,Micheal and the list goes on. The place I actually get to see what cases are happening and really what Singaporean are. But get to know many stuff too:) Secrets haha .

Had my first activation and it was indeed quite an experience, seeing the big shot rushing down for meetings and stuff. No more details. hah

For my love story. Nothing happen. At time still thinks of her randomly but I SERIOUSLY think 2009 will be a better year for me.

Cheers haha .take care and HAPPY 2009 people :)

My xmas

2008-12-28T00:43:00.005+08:00

Lets start off. Had an SA Reunion chalet. It was on ZOUK OUT.haha .But who cares.The chalet means much more to me as I get to see my fellow SAs when I was in year1 especially my old friends and stuff. I MISS my days in Tanglin with them. It was great seeing and catching up with each other and talking about whatever in the past and take it as a joke. Playing twister and stuff. While, sure do hope for many of it soon. We exchanged gift too:)

Went to Carissa'S Church too. It was nice just except he usual Christian thing. But it was nice seeing people and check our Pastor Neville's life which is a miracle for many christian I guess but for any free-thinker who is logical, ther are many arguement to it but whatever. Just check it out. Had some games before going to HK Kovan for a meal, yup, I mentioned in the previous post.

Me Leisha Alissa Lam JER Carrisa

How Gay am I?

Had Steam boat at sandra place on XMAS EVE !!!!

Guess which cup is mine ? Us and our pressie

I find nothing muhc to this year xmas but thanks for all the Gift I got and card from Michelle too, you know which one . But yea, it was really nice special girl:) haha

Also thanks Bro for my Adidas jacket:)

My parents for the Watch :)

And my PEDRO SHOE TOO:)

Find my Xmas getting boring as each year passed, I was partying at coco latte 2 years back, in Taipei last year and this year totally nothing. Maybe just lacking of something .

Anyway I HOPE 2009 WILL BE GREAT :)

3 set of 3 hrs of sleep

2008-12-21T09:55:00.002+08:00

Thurdays met Peiyi and her gang for badminton. Abit weird as everyone seem quite pro but ok, still had abit of fun here and there. Rushed home and got ready for my shift at night. At 1am I got my first set of 3 hrs of sleep. It was a borng as after that we had some training which is a waste of time seriously and I got home at 12+ in the end.

At 2pm I got my 2nd set of 3 hrs of sleep.Somehow I just woke up at 5 and couldnt get to bed anymore. So just had my usual slacking of being online and watching shows till 10pm. Change up and stuff before meeting Jonathan at Raffles.

Went to "She bangs" somewhere at circular road area. My 2nd time there and saw Timonthy. Used to see each other in Club in the past and always had lots of rubbish for each other. In the end us and another of his friend join in and chill at She bang. Finished up a Martel,2 towel and 2 jugs that night. Kinda nice chatting up and stuff and we kinda know the waitress there so its easier to chat up all that. Kristine joined us after that and was suffering since one of the waitress was abit high and speaking to her Mandrine and Kristine dont speak mandrine so she was like "HuH hUh and HuuuuHHHH. haha . A bit hilarous in a way.

Reached home at 6.30am and got my 3rd set of 3 hrs of rest before meeting my skss mates for soccer. Rushed home again at 2 plus before meetring Jeremy,Leisha and kelvin for a small event at Carissa and Alissa church at SAJC. Hang out at Kovan HK cafe before heading back home and that when I really got my much needed sleep and rest:)

Randomness in outing .

2008-12-10T14:01:00.004+08:00

Yup, Last week was kinda nice. Parents was in Genting so didnt had any nagging.

Met Victoria in the Morning and chill out at HK cafe till lunch.

Went down to Bottletree last tThurday for CPA camp. Felt great as I helped to better 2 group performance and entertaining the kids. Its been a long time since I had this feeling. SO WANNA DO CAMP SOON :). Nice to meet up some instructors like Yue Kai again. haha Doc to be.

After that rushed down to Tamp to meet MeiTing. My primary school classmate who sat beside me. It was random as I remember we do not have much link even though we were in the same sec sch too. Siglap Sec. And our life were very different. I guess if you had ask either one of us, we wouldnt have thought that one day we'll meet up and chill.

With MeiTing before departing

Caught up alot with her. Chatting and both of us were surprise on what had happen and happening between us. It was cool. Oh ya, I want the GUCCI. hahaa :P

Friday went for Sam birthday after my shift with Alex,Jer,Ter,YaoXin,Lam,BaoYun and her BF.hah

Went for overnight mahjong at Alex place in the end. On a carom board.wahahah..CRAP .haha

Cannot wait for badminton again on Friday.. :P

Sentosa Outing

2008-11-26T22:12:00.003+08:00

Ren kel lei flo treviz alex ben

Went to sentosa last saturday with Kel,Alex,Treviz,ZhongWen,LeiSha,Florence and Jaz. quite fun acutally playing frisbee but I must admit, I'm super noob in that. Too bad, no one bring beach vball so I had to remain noob the whole day. Had steamboat at Bugis after that, was suppose to have more people but somehow they decide to fly a plane instead.

Playing badminton again been great, just played today with Peiyi,Sujan,Alicia,Adeline and Jeremy. Felt quite rusty but not too bad I guess considering the last time I train day in and day out was like primary school days. CHill out at Starbuck with PY,Alicia and Sujan after that until 6pm. Just as I was going home ,Laraine then called me and meet her for awhile so stinky me went and met her, and realising a 7-11 around the neighbourhood area. Oh yea, thanks to her, I was late today cause I had just 4hrs of sleep. Yawnzz

Tmr gonna work. :)

Work Time

2008-11-14T23:13:00.002+08:00

Yup, officially started work. Done 2 night shift already in Team Charlie. People there been great. Chatted alot and stuff. I think the luckiest thing is to have people I can talk to there. Quite dificult to explain how things work there and what do I do but just sensitive issue.

Anyway, met up siglap sec friends claire, wenqi and wanying. Been ages since I last saw them. Just a random msg on facebook that make it happen. Anyway, had dinner at waruku, dont find it a very special honestly, Pasta mania seem better to me. And went to Milano at Pragon for dessert. More expensive but Its worth the price I guess.

Anyway, weekend is burnt this week so yea.. see how it goes.

And last sat went to bro graduation ceremy. Congrate, a degree holder now. haha

HOR HEH CHALET

2008-11-03T18:37:00.005+08:00

Friday went back to HTA for posting briefing and hearing some crap about discipline when we go back to HTA for our courses. Thought I'm gonna given an early release but I was wrong. Had to go to my division which is in Ministry of Home Affair and the department I'm in is Home Team CO-Ordination Crisis centre. Basically to get into the location of this department is quite troublesome as it is one of the most highly secured place in the building itself. Left the place at 5.30pm and went to home before rushing out and meeting a friend for high school musical 3.

After that went down to downtown east for Jer's chalet. Met up Terence before going down. YaoXin,Meiqi,Xiao Wei were already there befoe Patrick ,YuanShan and Andrew came down later. Had great chatting up session especially at one point when YX,Jer,Ter,Andrew,XW and Pat were outside. I missed doing camps with these people. Had mahjong after that and won 37 bucks.

First Night Guyz haha

Next day was the chalet. Nothing much to say. Beside the standard of TAU POK and Nipple pinching of Jeremy. The best part was meeting so many other instructors , especially those I know last year. They know who they are.

Left the chalet next day at 6.30am and went home to sleep. Today went back to HTA for a crappy course but i get to come home :)

My Post POP days

2008-10-29T14:45:00.004+08:00

Basically last saturday, I was just slacking at home wasting time before going down for my squad chalet at aloha loyang. Went down for a while, like I say, our squad bondng aint that great, so i dont find it very fun there, so left early with Ivan,Ruzaini,raymond loh and went to grapevine to chill out. Quite interesting actually.

Next day went to sentosa with Boshi,Gab and another 4 RP first batch people for beach vball. Saw quite a number of people starting with Jestyn's sis,then Yi Chen and his gf. Was along siloso beach and saw kai le,fel and alouis. But still we went somewhere and started , it was quite fun ,I dont mind playing it more often. maybe more sentosa outing. haha

After that went AMK to meet jer,yx,xiao wei,kelvin lam,sam koh and carissa. Saw sandra too. Went jer place for mahjong after that.

OH YEA, WE MET CAMPER.HAHA but she is Carissa sister who was Willie's camper.
Treat parents and bro Sakae on Monday.

Yesterday was out the whole day. Meeting BO Shi and Gab for singing. It was damn fun, super long never sing. 3 guyz, but yeaa still was fun-filled.

POP OHHHHHH

2008-10-27T21:07:00.003+08:00

Finally 20 weeks Gone. I have passed out from the home team academy. Its indeed the best day of my NS life so far. 24TH OCTOBER. No more quening up in the mess, listening to people complaining about ISS food after each meal. No more drills which is the best thing and I get to see my comfy bed daily from now on. NO MORE STAY IN :)

I cannot deny that I dont feel sad at all considering I stayed there for 20 weeks. I mean I became so used to life there and used to the regime have I inside. And all the crapping we have inside. Talkng about anything, going to different barrack and chat and play chinese chess as in the real chess.

Anyway, I'm posted to Ministry of Home Affair as an SA so enjoy life frm now on.

Can you see me ?

FINAL WEEK

2008-10-19T12:45:00.002+08:00

Finally. Its week 20 in HTA. After so long ,I have reached the final week as a trainee. By this week I will be promoted to CPL and will pass out from home team academy. The feeling is just soo damn great.

20 weeks, no doubt about it, I learnt alot I will miss the bit and pieces that happen in camp. ALl that.

This week was kinda great , had dodge ball competition gonna play in the final tmr during company night. Friday is our passing out parade.

Spend saturday hanging out with Jon in Bugis and getting his pants from beach road. Then proceed on to cyril place for mahjong. Win abit, quite nice and got my ass back home But I yet to update my pocket book DAMN IT. haha

2nd last book in to POP

2008-10-12T17:26:00.002+08:00

Yup. Now left 2 weeks to POP .

Basically going to do drills and more drills for parade which is obviously a total waste of time.

Weekend been relatively ok. Went to AMK hub for movie with jer,lam,xiao wei and leisha. House bunny, my first movie ever since I enlist.It was quite a funny show, super bimbotic I guess. But then I guess, when one want to dress up,they can be actually be very gorgeous I guess.
Jer was sick so went back after movie and the rest of us met up with Hsien Zhuan going down to Thompson for prata before going back home at 6.

Sat just met xiao wei,treviz and cherie at coffee club and then mac. Saw quite a number of peeps. Jian Long, JOel and Liyan as well as Vivian. Super long didnt see these peeps around. :)

Ok, hope the 2 weeks would be real quick and bye bye HTA.

3 more weeks

2008-10-05T15:35:00.003+08:00

Finally, all the test is done and I passed all. Got 92% for my law exam which is like 2nd in class together with Ong and KK with Yong Sheng getting 94%. Was quite surprise with the result as I thought I had lots of doubts during the test. PDT is done too. So now left another 3 boring weeks of drill.

Went to meet Jona who is going to enlist on Tuesday for a drink. It was a bad night,I puked prolly drank too much and was sooo tired as I bookout on that day itself. Sorry Kristine for that awful sight.

Went to Jestyn place yesterday for a farewell as he is going to enlist on thur. Quite cool to meet more peeps around and the other instructor to. Had mahjong and played some random drinking games. Not much luck in mahjong too yesterday somehow. But its ok, social gathering is fine. :)

fORCEDDDD

eNJOY THIS pic JESTYN. The hair will be Poofed on Thur haha

Jbac again in 4mths

2008-09-28T16:17:00.002+08:00

Completed 16 weeks already, now 4 more weeks and that it.

Friday was fine, went to meet Jona for dinner. Saw lots of cchys student, Remembered took their camp during 2007 march, my 2nd camp only. Saw Qiao Hui though, quite cool. It was weird at first, maybe cause of the botak head I got. Anyway went to Orchird country club for Pool where Kelvin joined us.

Went to Jbac on saturday morning, first time stepping there since june. I miss the place, I miss camp and I miss mixing with all of them in camp so much, so the feeling was just sooo awesome when I was inside. Helped out abit , it was a PRC camp ,the student are scholars so their English were quite good. Played kidnap cause one of the instructor was kinda new, so cherie ask me to go over and help her and glad was able to raise their spirit up.

Was talking with ZhiHao and agree on the same point. We get used to camp life easier like not staying home and also dont complaint so much about stuff like food. Mates in NS camp, due to the experience they have may not be that rationale in a way. But still able to interact though. And food, both of us have mates who are complaining so much about food. They should try the food doing those school camps. I bet they wont complaint that much. But cannot blame them too, this are things which you have to experience. haha.

ANyway, nice knowing new instructors though.

Today is book in day again. I hope the day I can do camps will be back soon. :)

Indifferent weekend

2008-09-21T00:16:00.002+08:00

This weekend is abit different. But still I like it.
Bookout was at 4pm so rush home.

After that, went out and met my squadmate Dion,Jordan,Ivan,Yong Sheng,Stanley and Elson for pool and just talking cock. PLayed pool abit and I must say, I'm super rusty at pool. Still remember pool was a weekly activity in the past like in year1.

Met Jonathan and Kelvin after that. Yup, kelvin was in a very bad mood so we went boat quay area for some drink at this bar call QB Qool Bar and the element. Haf few jug drinking, chatting up and play some game. Due to the circumstances, we just wanna relaxe ourself, a guy sort of thing so nothing happen like knowing girls and so on. Anyway, it;s close to 1 year plus since I appear in Boat Quay or Clark Quay area late at night till the early morning. It was nice, Feel like having more late nights now. Urge seem to be back.

As for today, met kelvin and Zephyr at harbour front centre coffee express and chatting once again, chill out. Wanted to meet jer and gang but they were going to catch a movie which is not something I like to do during my bookout, wasting time on movie. Quite dumb so went pasir ris had dinner and home watch my beloved newcastle losing once again.

5 more weeks, SBT this week and law test the following week, I hope I'll pass and pass out from HTA. :)

Rest in Peace GrandMa

2008-09-16T18:51:00.002+08:00

12th september , the black day of my family, My paternal grandma passed away suddenly. Was in class when Nas told me that OC wanna see me in a minute so rushed up and with a serious tone, he asked me if my grandma passed on. I was surprise so called my mum and she was weeping so that conclude it. It was a sudden death, really it was a sudden one. None of us expected it as she was still quite healthy doing her routine stuff,going church, taking care of Jun Hong and Xiao Qing. Anyway, rush to CGH after that where I saw my grandma lying peacefully.

Next day went to the wake and stayed there for the whole day all the way till 6am Sunday before rushing back home .And it was dumb that I had to book in on Sunday and was allowed to leave at 6pm until next day 9pm. So left for the wake, it was a 1 and a half hour journey from HTA to Pasir Ris, stayed there till late before catching some sleep back home.

Today was cremation day. The scene was quite emotional and I certainly felt the family warmth and love from each other. My grandma has been a great lady, I will miss the days where she will call me "Ah Ren...." And telling me thing or asking how am I doing. I will always remember those time when she rang and tell me "YOU KONG YAO LAI HOR" Meaning visit her when we are free. For her, a christian believer, she is moving on to another life so hopefully, she is enjoying herself spiritually in the other world.

But while, no chioce, I'm serving my obilgations. :(

2008-08-11T16:48:00.002+08:00

Finally after like 2 months, we got a long book out. From Friday 12noon all the way to monday 9pm. Partly of NDP and also to compensate us for watching home united match the week before.

Went to Tamp after my bookout on friday to meet up with some of the instructors. Saw campers from SAC,Tamp sec,macpherson sec as well as Dunman High too. Chill out at YaKun with Eunice,Xiao Wei and Jeremy after that at Sengkang.

2 months

2008-08-03T14:19:00.002+08:00

Yup, 8 weeks down and another about 10 or so weeks to go before POP.

This week been great, while people were having remedial training for failing IPPT ,those who passed can just rest in the bunk. Had soccer though it was stupid, it was like a rugby game instead. Watch Home United game too but was more looking forward to booking out and I dont support home united to start with but the atmosphere was still great.

Reached back home at about 10pm on friday. Basically just slept throughout the night.
Had my usual soccer with secondary school friends and the usual talk cock session and stuff. Went to Grandma place for her birthday. It was nice to see my cousin again, been a long long time since I last saw them and everyone there were like holding a PSP. It really make me remember those days where we took our game boy instead.

After that met Jeremy,Treviz,Cherie, Sarah and Kendra for a meal at HK cafe since we were all at pasir ris. Before making my way back home.

And just had dim sum before blogging as well.

Friday gonna bookout at 12pm, cannot wait for it to come :)

Great Week :)

2008-07-27T12:23:00.002+08:00

Basically was the squad I/C for the week but was quite lucky as during the whole of this week we only need to travel to the MESS and Range Complex. I guess now being I/C and was a camp instructor before NS, I find that some times it harder to blend in with people due to maturity and the way we do things. Spoke to some other instructors too, felt the same way as well. But it was still fun though in a way.

Had shooting this week from monday-friday, total of 6 frame with the final frame on friday as our test. Didnt do well but still manage to pass and it was dead damn important. Had a great instructor namely SI Sazali and Range instructor Naz, they were serious yet very crappy. And saw this super pretty NPCC in-charge, there are often NPCC cadet from secondary school coming to HTA for shooting and the only time we get to see pretty girls and the not-so.

Had IPPT too, and passed it and saw an improvement in all the station I went through, I guess the result shows the work training has gave me during the past few weeks and I start to feel it worth it but yea,there are still a number of weeks to go, so by then its still weekend bookout.

Saturday was nice, had soccer and met up with Jeremy and Sarah at vivo. Met Angel and Kai with Janice and Kristen for Amanda birthday.Though just a short meeting but it was still great to see "old friends" . Oh yea, ANGEL , make me wait for 1 hour ARGHHH, haha, NS guyz weekend are valuable. haha .

After went down to HK cafe at white sand to meet Jer and Sarah again with Treviz,Terence,Xiao Wei and Meiqi for our usual talk cock session.

My walkout

2008-07-20T14:07:00.002+08:00

Met up Lindy on Friday at compass point and just chat up on stuff. Met Jonathan while at compass pt though, small world, anyway, he is the first of a few people I concidentally met.

Had a gathering with Jay,Clement Chen, Xiao Wen,Mag and DanFeng, they were my year1 sem1 classmate in RP, had a meal at Japan village restaurent at The Cathay and walk around PS and simply chatting and talking cock as usual. Saw Siqi and Brian while waking around PS.

As usual, seeing my buddy on saturday with Jeremy, Alicia, Kendra, Treviz and Cherie. Met kelvin and Yuan Shan for a short bit too and another 2 instructors who are in NS as well came to met us for abit. Chill out at coffee bean before making our way back home again.

Sunday is my home day, basically, no more show to watch after finish watch band of brothers so probably getting movies to watch online :)

Mahjong :)

2008-07-13T15:47:00.003+08:00

Melissa, GuangLing, Me and Damon aka Giam
With Guangling

While ,anothe rweek gone, so by right left another 11 weeks. But still long, haha. So dont think about it too much first

Had a mahjong session with GuangLing, Damon and Melissa at Bayshore again, haha,Ironic, its like an annual meet up for the last time we had a mahjong session was at Bayshore as usual. It was fun playing with them, Damon and Melissa were forever bickering or somewhat, I mean in a fun manner, haha, I was just laughing my head off most of the time and yea, the actions of Damon were simply too hilarous.

I remembered there was a round he was say "Ehh, I think I'm fast this time" Then he looked up "Huh, you all start already ar" and end of the round he said PONG loudly and proudly threw out the tile and then Melissa won, haha. It was comical, the sequence of events that happen.

After that ,we cab down to PS area where I meet my campHA peeps to celebrate Shalon 21st Birthday, Nice to see many other fellow instructors again and get my tie dan from Eugene and Meiqi, haha and that gay tee . haha

So yea, great saturday again, hoping that sat will be great.

Anyway, just finished my band of brothers series today and kinda got addicted to their song. You know ,you hear people always say NS guyz who passed away and they will say he died in glory, I felt its kinda insulting to the people who die in real war for they are those that really died in Glory, I mean yea, we'll be sad for those that pass away during training but lets not blow it out of proportions.

Anyway, haha, here are the song, it cal Glory Glory, what a hell of a way to die

Is everybody happy Said the sergeant looking up Our hero feebly answered "Yes" And then they hooked him up, He jumped into the slipstream, And he twisted twenty times, And he ain't going to jump no more. Chorus: : Glory glory what a hell of a way to die, Glory glory what a hell of a way to die, And he ain't going to jump no more.

2. He counted loud, he counted long And waited for the shock He felt the wind, he felt the air, He felt that awful drop, He pulled his lines, the silk came down And wrapped around his legs And he ain't going to jump no more. Chorus:

3. The days he lived and loved and laughed Kept running through his mind He thought about the medics And wondered what they would find, He thought about the girl back home, The one he left behind. And he ain't going to jump no more. Chorus:

4. The lines all wrapped around his neck, The D rings broke his dome, His lift webs wrapped themselves In knots around each skinny bone, His canopy became his shroud As he hurtled to the ground , And he ain't going to jump no more. Chorus: 5. The ambulance was on the spot, The jeeps were running wild, The medics, they clapped their hands And rolled their sleeves and smiled, For it had been a week or more, Since last a chute had failed, And he ain't going to jump no more. Chorus:

6. He hit the ground, the sound was "splat", The blood went spurting high, His pals were heard to say Oh what a lovely way to die, They rolled him up still in his chute, And poured him from his boots, And he ain't going to jump no more. Chorus:

7. There was blood upon his lift webs, There was blood upon his chute, Blood that came a trickling From his paratrooper boots, And there he lay like jelly In the welter of his gore, And he ain't going to jump no more. Chorus:

Another one---

We're Colonel Johnson's Troopers
We're fighters of the Night
We're dirty sonsabitches
We'd rather fuck than fight!
Hi-Dee, Hi-Dee, Christ Almighty,
Who in the Hell are WE?

PREP COURSE GONE

2008-07-05T11:25:00.003+08:00

Ok, finally, been inside for close to a month and this means PREP COURSE IS GONE. :)

Next week is the start of BMT and got our own FI which is Zahid and happen to be willie FI last time. Small world I guess.

Anyway,the final week seem tough as well, had IPPT, 2 PDT which we got screwed like crazy but sometimes I just wonder, why dont he just freaking point out who make the mistake and have the person to correct it straight rather than making us doing it over and over again for us to find out who. Its kind of irritating but guess that is his style.

IPPT, 2.4 was like 11minutes , was too tired to run after the other station and after the PT session the day before and I was dead hungry by the end of it so I guess with a perfect condition ,I should be able to decrease timing.

It was cock as usual in bunk, ashik got his wish by having a 3 days MC, suppose to be just one day but went to a hospital and they gave him 2 more days. We had our own bunk pledge which was comical and the one I remember is that WE PLEDGE WE WILL NOT CROSS SWORD WITH EACH OTHER. haha. As for the meaning, I prefer to remain it mum. Bunk spirit is getting great ,FI was checking our bunk before walk out and out of the 4 bunks, only ours was cleared but since 3 didnt so the whole squad had to do push up ,crutches as well as jumping jacks.

Anyway, met up with sandra,kendra,terence and jeremy ytd at chomp chomp after walk out, getting more happy with my build as well.

My saturday

2008-06-29T16:57:00.003+08:00

Saturday is my only day which there is no left right left, no lights out and stuff so you can put it as the best day of every week.

Started the morning with soccer with my usual sec sch friends, was quite tired actually cause leg was aching from training during the week, anyway, the session was cut short cause went out to meet Zephyr after that.

Met Zephyr at Heeren before heading down to NYDC wheelock place. Been a long time since I met her, so we caught up with lots of stuff, chatting and joking as usual. Then accompanied her for abit of shopping before we left for our own stuff again.

Met Boshi and Gabriel for dinner at amk beore going to new york new york with Jer,treviz,Alicia and new friend Kendra. Then slack at S-11 coffeeship before cabbing back home, anyway ought band of brothers and watch 3 of the 10 parts today, so going to carry on ,every sunday when I book out.

2nd Walk Out Again

2008-06-27T21:44:00.002+08:00

While ,2nd walk out, the feeling is not as excited as the first one maybe cause this time it was shorter and we are getting more used to life inside.

Anyway,the week started depressing cause we were back in camp at 9pm on Sunday but it was much better as monday start and progress,this week, my bunk was great, brought in iron,iron board, foodies, drinks and stuff all out and share. My bunkmate are seriously fantastic I should say. :P

Had more jokes this week as well, hha, it was much more friendly environment. Started PDT training and swiming,PDT basically is learning how to use the different police equipment which I had to use next time. It was mentally challenge as we got to move to the steps for like 4 hours.

But I guess what one of my instructor say is true. A police is trained to really use our skill but army are just train for deterence with very low chance of using what they learn.

Anyway, weekend is here, gonna enjoy them :P

My first week of NS life

2008-06-18T10:55:00.002+08:00

Ok by right, I should walk out this friday but was given MC yesterday and was allowed home and must walk in back to camp tonight at 9pm.

The first few days were quite boring, beside the morning PT, we were slacking thoughout due to doing administration stuff which can take the whole afternoon. I guess system could be faster but probably they just wanna test our patience or they aint too bother about improving the system, so basically was sitting in the hall or drill shed until my butt hurt big time.

So a typical day would be waking up at about 5am and get ready for water parade at 5.45am and then fall in at 6.30am for morning PT which usually last a minimum of 1 hour and 15minutes, it can be longer though before going for our breadfast then we had our footdrill training all the way till lunch time. So normally from lunch till like 3pm,there will be no training so we will be resting in our own bunk or having short nap on the floor since we are not allowed to be on our bed from 6am - 7pm. Then we had either drills, PT or stuff to improve our fitness before going for dinner. Then after dinner is slack time again until8pm where we had our water parade before doing whatever we want until 10.30 pm and that is when the lights will be out.

I guess my squad is quite fun and my bunkmate are crappy. haha, we crap day in and out and wasting our time, countdown to walk out. I guess the worse part is over which is staying in over saturday and sunday. The senior poked fun at us last friday while doing their jogging, they shouted " 1,2,3,4 LEFT RIGHT LEFT, 4,3,2,1 HOME SWEET HOME" . And I guess this is what we will do when the next month intake comes in, probably gonna see some friends coming in as well and yea, waiting for POP as well and let me post to NPC. :)

Anyway, going to walk in at 9pm tonight ,friday going to walk out agian till sunday. Cannot wait for that, as each day pass, means its nearer to the end :P

Final post before enlistment

2008-06-08T23:42:00.002+08:00

Spend saturday having soccer with my secondary school pals, it was great at the carpark again. Quite tiring though but soccer still the best ever stuff in the world.

After that went for Sarah Fan birthday bbq which I saw the others like Nat, melissa,samatha, some farmiliar faces and group of new people like Alicia and Darryl the one other guy we had lots of crap chat with. It was fun seeing Nat and Jer doing lots of stunt like making jer drinking some mixture and them whacking each other, poor Nat but it was all for entertainment value. I want some photos I took there.

Sunday and had dim sum lunch with my parents and cousins before heading down to AMK hub to catch sex and the city with Shahul,Kent,Jer,Meiqi,BaoYun,Cherie,Kimberly and Xinyi. Kelvin Phua joined us for awhile after the movie and kinda slack and chat up before heading back home.

While, Tuesday gonna be my enlistment. Suddenly feel that its like the first main chapter of life is going to end and NS is the start of the next. Its like I dont know what going to happen ,I dont how the people are, I dont know the kind of environment,even though people are all saying, its slack to be in Police but then again, its still the unknown SO hopefully it gonna be real great.

But then thanks to the type of life I been having, I'm really thankful I got a life that compromises of a large variety of activities and different type of friends been with me.

Anyway, will update on how life in HTA after my first book out :P

Tampines Sec camp

2008-06-05T15:47:00.003+08:00

TAMPINES SECONDARY SCHOOL CAMP

2ND-4TH June 2008

The Final Camp

DAY1

Started the camp by being late for 30minutes with Baoyun,Patrick and Wei Jie. Met my group which was class 2T1, I guess we had the least number of people with 26 in total and luckily I had the nosier peeps in my group.

Basically,we only had nature rumble for day1 and no general station because they are good in delaying time so left like 15minutes, so just do campfire prep instead, no harm deal.

Had kidnap in the night and we won after 3 tries. KUDOSSS.

DAY 2

ISS was late so all activities wer pushed back and with all the briefing , I left just 8minutes to get my campers up there so in the end I cleared only 4 of them before proceeding on for campfire preparation which was rather a slow process. Anyway, had abseiling after that.

CRC for the next 4 hours before campfire prep again.

And end of the night with campfire, it was an emotional campfire. I cried for the memories. Anyway ,my group performed Low by flo rida, it was quite a nice dance.

Camped ended on the 3rd day with cleaning, was lucky to be cleaning the dining hall instead.

To my class 2T1 : Always remember that all of you are stars but question how bright do you want yourself to be. Its not that you are dumb that why you are in N/T, its just about the acadamic qualification. Your attitude and character are more important that result. Dont ever think you are stupid, cause if you do, then you really stupid. I believe in all of you to do well in whatever you do, so stop that thinking and be more confident, I will always root for you.

It had been a great camp with all of you, full of fun and laughter had 6 great leaders with you at all times, I will cherish the times we had:)

My own thoughts.

Finally my last camp. To being with I would like to thanks the group under me before and they are

2007 -CWSS,CCHYS,JWSS,PRPS,GRSS,XMPS,JYPS,Sembawangsec
2008- EVSS,QTSS,UnityPri,SAC,MacphersonSec,HCI,CCKSS,Tanglin,MahaBodi,RVPS,ClementiPri,Fairfield methodist sec,Dunman high, NUS High , GESPS,tamp sec
1 day event = CHIJ TP PRI,RGS

I remember my first campfire performnance from clementi woods sec, haha, it was an mimic of what happen in class and due to some reason ,I thought I wont be doing camp again but I was wrong it was the start of many camps. For tamp sec camp, somehow, I decided to be low profile, haha, I guess its just something you will become as time pass, you only rah rah when necessary and your group is more important I guess.

I realise I grew so much in the way I think,the way I educate and handle my student and due to NS, I had to leave when I feel that I'm on the peak, espeically in terms of making my student learnt. I was quite previledge to be here since last year.

Just sad to say that the instructor dynamics is no longer there, nowadays, it seem like only a particular group of instructor enjoying themselves, I miss the dynamic I felt last year and handful of camps this year. But nevertheless,I still met quite a number of great friends I had like Jeremy He, Terence,Xiao Wei,Parick,BaoYun,Shahul,Meiqi and Kelvin lam who was my buddy before who got into campha.

And for the last time, my next camp is a 2 years camp with Singapore Police Force. Will be posting photos soon :P

Gan Eng Seng Pri school Leadership camp

2008-06-01T12:22:00.002+08:00

Gan Eng Seng Primary School Leadership Camp

Primary 4,5 Leaders

29th-31st May

Day1

I guess chief kent started the camp by being a victim of his own implementation. He told us to reach by 7.15am with 10minutes buffer but he was late by a few minutes. So yeah ,the camp started out on a hilarous note. After that, went up to the hall and met the leaders.

Went to labrador Park adventure centre for the first time to put all our bags down before heading to sentosa for our amusing race. I guess its not as tiring as the amusing race we had in SJI with Dunman High. But due to the renovation of Sentosa, some place were closed so we had to just whack out some games for the student to play. Ended with sand castle bulding but somehow the sky decided to cry for whatever reason and we had to rush to the centre station where we had our campfire prep in the end, decided to do butterfly,the retro song since we dont ve time for any campfire prep unless it rain the next day.

Had kidnap at night and finished off 3rd even though we had numerous attempts.

2nd day

The primary 4 and 5 were separated into the primary 4 having the cross rope challenge while the primary5 had MLC in the morning and Gladiators later in the day. For MLC,somehow,my group had a score of 610, I didnt know how they count cause for some part of the game I was attending to regina who was knock by someone way biggest size than her. And after they told me the score, I cannot really believe but then again, I was not present so I had no reason to doubt them as well. Had jia hui crying too but her was much more minor but still another packet of tissue paper gone. Lucky I brought 4 packets.

Gladiators was up in the afternoon, and the team finish 2nd which I felt was quite good considering we start of with 20 student with the rest having about 4 or 5 more extra student. Then after dispersing our student, instructor had our own minor gladiators and the funniest part was when kelvin phua was trying to splash a pail of water at cherie as she was being chased by jeremy he but due to mis-calculation of timing, the water splash on to jeremy's face instead, this action immediately had all of us laughing like there is no tomorrow.

Ended 2nd night with campfire.

I find this particular group of student were quite well-behave,they didnt gave us that much problem and the place was relatively in a clean state.The student were also fun, they had also similar ideas when we started the malay tradition and also soccer cheer with the banging of the table,they will start to clap thier hand or shout EH EH EH EH AR EHE AR EH AR. It was really fun, like the whole school bringing down the place and of course the other group student were nice like the ah lians of jeremy group, my malay ah bang from xinyi group with our handshake.

I felt I had a great group of student, they started singing in the bus, they will clap their hand for something without being asked to do so and probably they are leaders, so their maturity way ahead of others even though they are leaders of different area. I can see they really appreciate what they are given as well because they ended with cheers by changing their team name to my name instead. Chief kent thought I taught them but it was them who came up with the idea.

My 2nd last camp, with my last being on the 2nd-4th which is tampines sec, its gonna be the last camp for alot of us,those going to NS and of cause to Andrew. I hope the final camp will be a blast with no hard feelings between instructors. I will blog my after feeling of everything after I finish camp.

So take care people and yea, Cheryl ,thanks for the talk today as well. :)

CHIJ Toa Payoh Day Event

2008-05-27T23:41:00.002+08:00

Had a day event with CHIJ Toa Payoh primary schooL. Basically there are pri4 girls. It was quite a great event considering that Jer is doing again. Finally doing stuff together again. And started the day with abit of problem with one of our instructors somehow M.I.A . Luckily for us, we manage to get Alvin as our replacement.

Anyway,I was given group7. The only group without a mirror. Played spiderweb,had abseiling,zipline and rockwall. Due to the time constraint, only half of the group was able to do either abseiling or zipline. Sorry that had to disappoint those that wanna try zipline. I remebered they were all like saying PLEASEEEEEEE to me at the end but really had no chioce.

The group I had were great The girls were fun and somehow become quite united as time pass.They encourage one another and taught them how to play SPLAT and they just started to play and play and play that game even when I was not around ,they just automatically carry on playing. And they really nice girls, during those rah rah session, they will defend me. 7 UP ROCKS seriously.

Luckily it was a day event or esle I guess I gonna get "molested" like mad. Some of them were like whacking my butt after they get to know me. But really, this event was fun, and it was nice having these girls. Really had lots of great time with them.

Some random stuff. Was wondering after this camp which I was not involve in, so many things happen. And I'm disappointed that this particular colleague of mine. Honestly, issue started with above authority, why wanna bring it down and cause unhappiness among instructors. Whatever happen up there, is not our problem. I guess you are simply just too political. And sad to say you are an instructor who is educating campers but yet dont show a good example of yourself in real life.

I dont know what happen,but it just wasnt like this until that camp. Anyway, I hope we all can be neutral in terms of within instructors but whoever you wanna work under should be an individual issue. Just helping my fellow colleague to voice out what wrong and what I feel even though I am not involve. But yea, definitely instructor bonding will be affected .

Friday 23rd May

2008-05-26T22:44:00.004+08:00

After breaking camp for NUS high, went home to sleep and woke up to go bottletree to do sentry, it was paid, so BaoYun and me went for it and the teacher were very nice, they bought mac chicken and filet o fish each for us. Anyway, finish sentry at 6.30am and had breadfast before reaching home at about 9 plus.

Baoyun and me. We are known as ES (emotional support) haha

Slept until like 3pm before going out again.

While, I was suppose to meet GuanglinG

on Tuesday but in the end cause I was doing NUS high school camp so met her on Friday instead.

Quite ironic, the last time we met was like early last year for mahjong and before that, I guess we just met about twice but we had been chatting on msn and stuff,so contact were still there just never meeting up. Busy people that why no time.

Anyway, had lots of stuff to chat, was having coffee at Taka coffeebean but she had choco instead and chilled for close 2 hours before heading to HK cafe for our dinner and moving on to balocony for a drink. Been a long time since I had alcohol. ANyway, we also walked around and realise Heeren seem to be like a Ghost town nowadays,its sooo freaking quiet.

NUS HIGH SCHOOL CAMP
20TH- 22TH 2008

Went to NUS High school early in the morning and find the school looked great and the design were nice. Saw a soccer field and we were wondering why they had a soccer field when we dont even know if they have a team. So we started teasing by saying, probably they need to measure the energy needed, power, the angle to curl the ball into the net ,not forgetting the speed of the wind. :)

Anyway,that not the point for the blog. Before starting camp, I already knew this school its gonna be different from other normal school so was more or less prepared for it. Met year2 class 7 also known as LOLLOW in thier classroom. It was a big nighmarish to start with, the guyz were simply noisy. After that, had an observation of the school generally before boarding the bus. Realise the school girls were relatively mature but the guyz seem to be miles apart, you just feel like dissecting some of them apart.

Reached Pasir Ris and started having ice-breaker and it was really great to see class 2/5 of SAC there too. It was quite depressing to see the guyz in the group before lunch. Unable to do the cheer loudly, no enthusiasm in them. So decided to change certain approach and somehow things got better after lunch and when Glenn and Daniel came, it was much stronger.
Had big event as well as kidnap and been a long long time since I won kidnap. WELL DONE LOLLOW,we end day1 on a high.

Day2, we had double or nothing. Went to Elias mall to get sweet and put them in packet, spend a total of about 10 bucks and get back about 40 bucks before having campfire prep at one of the shelter area. This time from what I know , the group got the highest percentage in terms of spending to what they earn compared to the other group so once again. They show their capability.

Had Gladiators, I can only sympathize my team as I know they deserve and should be the winner for the decision make were quite ambigious. I know the team was quite angry and felt it was really unfair. Tough luck for all of you but still, I felt this team had been the best thoughout and not anytime I feel you all should be at the losing side for gladiators. Ended gladiators with the overall winner against instructors. :P

TO class 207 aka Lollow
It was nightmarish first meeting all of you. I didnt know what to do but right after lunch,the class spirit just start to move up and never went down after that. Base on the event we had, it really goes to show how strong can the class be. The different character that the class possess really show the diversity you have, make use of them to face greater challenges ahead. Appreciate one another for they are the people that you spend this 3Days 2 Night with,you expereince being scolded by me, being a winner, getting unfair decision and had a performance together as a class. Remeber I asked you this question. Do you want to be the best class. From what I see, I dont your answer but your action certainly had make me feel that the answer is WANT.

On a more personal note. I just like to thanks everyone of you for the wonder 3 Days we had together. It fun being with all of you. Playing ouch orbi orbi with me whacking and being whacked by Hui Kang real loud and also Daneil and gang for constantly linking me to the female instructors. And yea, having the rabbit nicole. haha, seriously ,she looked like one lah . And yea, how can I forget shao xiong, never ever watch sentimental show with him, he will make it a comedy for you. And yea, LAO NU REN mei fang. My 2 Jonathan Wee and Lee also the gladiators warrior. Basically, It been a long time in a camp since I can remember all of your name and faces. So people, take care and always do well in life. NUS HIGH SCHOOL IS NOT A BORING SCHOOL AS I THOUGHT , Thanks to LOLLOW CAUSE ALL OF YOU ROXXXX ;)

DUNMAN HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL CAMP YEAR2

2008-05-17T11:58:00.003+08:00

DUNMAN HIGH SCHOOL
YEAR2 LEVEL CAMP
13-16 MAY 2008

DAY1
Met my group at Dunman High. The first time I saw them, I thought it may be abit boring and with so many new instructors coming now, I was stress cause we had to guide them as well. But less on that and more to my group. It was quite a rush in school as we got to rush to the bus and started to introduce ourslve, which is me and my mirror huiqi in the bus we move towards marina pier. Oh yea, had this very friendly teacher known as Mr Han and he was a nice guy.
Anyway, we reach st john island and had some cheers fight and seriously, WE OWNED majorA even though most of their group reach. Oh yea, group 9 was Garung and 10 was GUNI :P .I had roti prata for fairfield and garung runi for DHS.
Had amusing race the whole day and I dun find it that amusing but more of a bit endurance test especially with running around st john and doing monster inc which was the toughest among the rest but PEOPLE, I'm proud that all of you did it as a team and almost caught up the team which started way earlier than you. :P Anyway, had kidnap with the person being tied infront of the others.
Had sentry anyway for day1 night.

Day2
It was a rainy day. We had like campfire prep for like 4hours and I'm glad that it was not in vain, they had their wonderful plot which make me laugh like there is no tomorrow and of course to MR YOU LONG who said "if you wanna get a cute wife like me" . haha ,totally burst out into laughter. Yup, had some issue in the morning in the team and they are quite unwilling to open up but luckily as time pass, it got better. Had dry rafting so abit of actions before day2 end was great and finish off with a candle war at night before light out at 10.30pm. First day was 11pm.

Day3
Started the day with gladiators and yea, had to learn the mass dance of DHS with GET HIGH by F,I.R and then taught them para para. It was really fun.
The days have been quite standard as time pass. We ended all the activites with MLC, even though my team got one of the lowest but at least everyone did played a part and enjoyed as one big whole. Winning isnt everything, to win ,i can get my best players for MLC but its that the outcome I want, HELL NOOOOO.
Campfire started out on a high really high and garung guni was the first up and I'm glad,they entertained the rest. And we had Lian-ing after that but it went down after that with most of the team doing almost similar plot of life in camp. Quite emo at night after debrief but thanks MOOK for what you said to me, it was really nice of you and I'm glad the camp changes you as well :P

Day4
Basically it was farewell to my Garung GUNI
TO TEAM GARUNG GUNI
A 4 days 3 night camp seem long at the start but when everything ends, the feeling disappear and it became why is it so short.
Always be appreciative of one another, you had the toughest test of the lots doing pumping,buddha clap,monster inc all at one row,this kind of endurance and hardship is only endured by each of you here and it couldnt be any better without any of your encourage and the spirit you had put in.
Campfire was great, I'm proud of all of you for being so sporting especially Gavin and Zhang Xin. Our skit was indeed a uniques one, no one had similar ideas as yours. It was entertaining and with a great choir at the back, the impact which I told you before campfire was archieved.
Last but not least, in a camp, its not so much on what you get at the end but more of what you learnt and felt during the process. Cherish each moment you have :)
Personally from me to all of you.
It was really fun and enjoyable this 4days, being in st john,I was also exhausted but you all give me the strength,the spirit and the wonderful performance. I really appreciate the different help you all gave one another or gave me during camp and the spirit you had. We had our ups and downs but I'm glad its just going to be up up and AWAYYYYY :)
Once again I thanks all of you and I will miss each one of you even though I still have problem remembering all your names. Always remember

FairField Methodist Sec2 Camp

TEAM ROTI PRATA :)

6-9 May 2008

Reach the school at close to 7.40am and met the student soon after, got class 2 D aka ROTI PRATA. It was quite easy to talk to them even before any introduction made. Anyway, it was quite a rushing as we had to take attandance then straight go up to the bus where me and my mirror Amanda start to know them better :)

There was nothing much on day1 beside just doing low elements and campfire prep. Night activity was boring with Blinds man walk but as usual I love doing the part on making the student walk by themselve and find their friend to let them appreciate their peers more. For my group, we had to kinda clean the toilet for the night. And yea, sentry for the night with Tammy , she was like super afriad of me telling her which hut was haunted.

Assembled at 7.30am for breadfast and headed for Belay School, and CRC. Belay school was held in CRC and I felt its better for E.F.I to do the BS but due to some complications, instructors got to do it instead. Seeing the weather was about to rain, I kinda delayed the start of CRC and I was right on spot, CAT 1. And had CRC change to the indoor rockwall instead. The process was relatively quick I guess, however, when Pavon was climbing, it brought the most applause and cheers. Charles belayed him while achorman was me before Tee Kun join me. And yes Dorothea is indeed a very determination girl,I remebered her crying and was prepared to let her down but she still want to climb and its the will in you, if you want to, we will help you.

Basically the mood was much lower and since the 2nd slot after lunch was cat1 again,the student make use of the time to do campfire prep again and it was quite worrying for Amanda and me because they were not too enthusiatic about it, they didnt know their role well and it seem far too long. Had kidnap at night ,Kent your clue are quite cannot make it. haha.

Had 10 over tries before getting the key and still came in 6th out of 18th.

3rd day was when everything change. It was much much better. Kayaking first and first Charles spoke to them and then after kayaking ,I left the group for awhile and thats when things change, they start to be more pro-active in what they are doing and did it as a team.

After lunch, they had abseiling and zipline and I felt there was one intellectual joke about Pavon coming down from the zipline. He was basically bouncing up and down and I forget who said this "wah, PAVON 3 Issac Newton 0" It meant he defy the gravity law done by issac newton for those who need explainations.

5.40pm -6.20pm was their wash up, they met me and Amanda at 6.30pm instead and I ask why so late, I heard they were not suppose to tell me but someone spilled the beans and told me they were practising their campfire prep instead and in this point of time, I was quite elated yet still compose. It was just part1, then 15minutes into dinner time, they disappeared again and I went to look for them, they were under hut3 reharsing again and I decided not to join them and till to the cheer part then I came in.

The performance was great, I didnt even know some dialogue that was on-going. It was simply awesome. I was quite touched when I saw the performance honestly. :P

To class 2D : Since day1,I told you I know you all have the quality to be a very very strong class and united one, you had the qualities but the questions come if you want or dont want but I'm glad the answer was WANT at the end of the day. The spirit you had were electrifying and it was shown even more clearly in the bus.

Thanks for the great time and I hope all of you will do well in whatever you do, take care always :) and thanks Amanda for the 4days3night ,it was phew weet to work with you :)

A few of class 2d :P HAPPY PEOPLE

Me and Amanda

Poly Forum06 outing 1st May

2008-05-02T16:02:00.003+08:00

Labour day was great. Met up with my poly forum06 mates again. Its been close to 2 years since I met them.

Anyway, went to vivo to just have dinner and chill. Team leader Kristen was the organizer and those present were Terence,Kian Ming, Cheng kai,David,Wan,Kai,Thomas,Edwin,Alyssa,Janice,Amanda,Angel. The actual group is about 50 over people but I guess it quite great to have this number of people after more than about 2 years from poly forum.

Did some funny stunt like a holy act carrying some of them using just 2 fingers after some 'mediation". Quite cool actually cause before the meditation thinggy, we were unable to carry the person but after that we can just lift her/him up.
Had alot of catching up with them and finally found someone who gonna enlist on the same day as me,which is wan. Soon to be policeman :)

Some of the photos we took :)

RIVER VALLEY PRIMARY SCHOOL 21st-23rd

Had a great bunch of kids in rvps with 3 koreans,1 jap, a guy name giggs and many others. Started by asking, who am I and guess what,they all said I'm Beckham cause of my hair and that is how I got the name BECKHAM which the other students in other group also called me.

We had 2 hours of campfire preparation but it was well wasted till the final 20minutes which we did xi shua shua in the end. Campfire was nice with us winning copycat,anyway, it was clear cut that I would have win since being the most entertaining one with my Jap dude KENJI, he is one crazy guy in the house. Anyway, he gave me so much trouble but yet also had lots of fun disturbing him and I guess the group enjoyed his companion as well together with Ernest too. Sorry for leaving you early people :(

I would miss this school actually for the fun and joy I had with them,I guess I was lucky to have the rascal but because of him,the team actually click. Great mixture with Rohit being the normal kinda pri sch kid who ask all the dumb dumb question, Kim Mu Young was my most mature camper together with Ha WonHye RIm also known as my team korea,Gabrina and Jamie,the 2 often got tease by me and tag team partner of Kenji/Ernest also make alot of funny stuff.

And last but not least,its the start of when Rendall Koh is known as BECKHAM :P

Clementi Pri School

Was quite tired in this cause I did back to back but still had to be in the school by 7.45 on Wednesday, at first meeting the student, it was normal, Had a student who thought I was fierce but I'm Mr NICEEE. The student in this sch I find was much less receptive as compared to RVPS.

Anyway, I had group 11 which means I had no mirror and my total strength is just 18 as compare to others with mirror,they had 30 + so in terms of voice, we were definitely not going to be as loud as them. I had a girl with hearing problem and had to have a hearing device on her and a guy suffering from some hyper active issue.

I did the magical stunt of doing Xi Shua Shua again, haha. 2 back to back camps doing the same campfire performance but clementi pri did a better one. This camp, the student are much more neighbourhood like but in the end I had great bonds with everyone :)

I would really miss the 2 schools :)

Reflections

I find that this 2 camps,I have show how has I change in terms of facilitating a team. I feel I am now giving a much stronger impact to the students with the objective to make them learn but yet enjoy themselve so much, I mean like doing just a simple station activity, I can do it for like 45 minutes and using different methods to facilitate. And yesterday hearing what Potatoe say about my emotional speech to Clementi make me feel happy cause hearing this of words from a more experience instructors is a kind of acknowledgement for me and the outcome of students responding to me at the end of the day further assure me of my performance in camp.

In terms of camp,nowadays ,I realise the student impact me more than the instructors who are present. The bonds as a whole is not that strong like what Ian said. Its unlike the past when even if the instructors are all new, the bond was super strong. Therefore, when Patrick,Alex,Alfred were there at night,I find myself more comfortable.Thanks Patrick for the 2 story you shared.

2008-04-19T16:20:00.003+08:00

Maha Bodhi School Camp

Had MBS camp from the 16th-18th april in Jbac again. Heard so many stuff about what happen in Jbac just before this camp and I though Jody was going to give us hell but luckily somehow she was nice except for Mr Last camp aka my fellow first camp instructor Terence Wong putting his shoe on the rack but it was just a short talk and he wasnt there as he was doing his nature rumble.

It was nice taking Group 4 aka 4 ROX. The guyz were abit quite hesistant calling this as their team name and they were often putting down the team but what would you expect as they are still 11 years old kids who still never agrees with the female campers except for one particular guy who confesse to the whole world for liking another student. PRIMARY 5 Kid only. Anyway, at night dring debrief manage to actually ask them the serious question which make them ponder and think. I guess it became abit more emotional and that's when their real feeling start to come, though they dont show much but you know from what they say.

Day2 was our campfire stuff and thankfully manage to clear all of them at least in doing the zipline as well as having everyone to try doing CRC at least once, in fact everyone went once only. It was quite tough doing belaying cause we had to like push them along so that its much easier for them and we knew we had to rush as some of our slot were delayed due to rain.So us, instructors, had to really belay fast and also still note all the safety issue and acutally I find the student are more obedient while in the CRC area even though some wer playing with stone.

Campfire was great, doing tarzan and Jane, I would love not to be involve in dancing but I only dance the full song 2 or 3 times with them, so I feel I had to perform. It was great, really nice. :) Being both male and female. Had the peformance recorded, will post on youtube and here as well.

Anyway, Terence finally had his last camp, Jeremy he came in as well. He was tao pok by us then also being poured water and abit of building house on him also known as pinching nipples. It really brought us back to the days with Clementi Woods Sec sch, where Jer He,Terence and me had our first ever camp and from then onwards,we maintain great friendship and seriously ,we never had any huge argument with each other before.

Will post photo of the camp soon. Going to Jbac from the 21-25 April for River Valley Pri School camp then Clementi Pri sch.

Tanglin Sec Camp

2008-04-11T22:28:00.003+08:00

Tanglin Secondary School Camp 9th-11th April

Reached TangLin Sec the earliest and realise that Clementi Woods Sec which was my maiden camp last year was along the stretch of road. Anyway, the moment I reach the school, I felt it had a prestige in them but due to what I know from people,the student are quite normal.

Was introduce to my group and the starting part in school, was kinda irritating as the hall was conjested and people shouting here and there , so I am not too in the mood to ask my house to shout as well but we still had some. And get to know some of my groupies too and of cause my most prominent Joker Shawn and another 2 who ask me to keep stuff for them.

Anyway, along the way, get to know more about the student and my student leader J-Ing had been great together with Rena,they are quite hyper.

First day was super tiring, had 3 hours of CRC under the scorching sun. Imagine how dark I became, In fact, its much more darker than my already tanned skin. It was indeed a big challenge but at least I cleared every single on up, so even though it was CAT1 on the next day, I was glad everyone tried. Had Kidnap and WE WON. LUCKY LUCKY :)

Next day had quite a nice schedule of CFP, kayaking and GS. Been a long time since I kayak so had alot of problem trying to move forward using a bandit. Campfire prep was abit slow with them being to only finalize everything later in the day since it was CAT 1 after lunch.

The performance was great with their own Chori Chori and the spirit of the school was simply fantastic. The teachers and Mr Wan were really nice people with their soft approach to their student which I think is successful, you can see the student are more open up to their teachers and it was hilarous to be with them especially hearing them and of course the youtube video which Mr Wan was talking about.

It was great being with my SEXY PUI.,the enthusiam could be much higher for all 3 days if you all want. The performance was great, the cheers and everything were done by you without our help. Therefore, even you may not have won the best, but you can be proud for the performance is truely belong to all of you.

What is a leader ?

A leader is one that know when to lead and when to serve. A leader should not be individualistic.Leaders should make decision base on the benefit of the group. He must also know that a good decision doesnt means a popular decision. So decide on what is right. Treat all issue as a challenge.

Weekends and Mondays

2008-04-07T23:33:00.002+08:00

I will start with my NS status first:

Good evening Mr KOH WEI REN, RENDALL.

Your enlistment date is on 10-Jun-2008. Your reporting unit is POLICE ACADEMY.

Yup, I'm going into the Police instead. :P

Ok, Talk about the weekends now.
Went out with Jeremy and some friends for dinner at Billy Bombers Marina Square and had alot of crapping time. Gettingt to know many stuff and just having fun. Went down to Dhoby Ghaut and mve on to Orchard before meeting the other instructors.

Went to Bishan to prawn with Andrew,JianLong,Jestyn,Jolene,Alex,Jaclyn,Larry,Gerald,Alex,Zhong Wen. In the end play Ouch Orbi Oribi before reaching home at 5am al thanks to the long ride but it was better than paying for taxi.
Sunday was simply family day, had Lunch with my parents at Sakura and then had dinner with my relatives and for my cousin Treviz who will be enlisting real soon.

Anyway, went to get my diploma certificate and my transcript today. It was great to be holding it finally after 3 years. Anyway, saw my pal XueChang, it been a long time bro, time to keep back in touch.

Oh yea,had a chat with Melissa last night, it was hilarious talking to her, its like talking about year1 days when we had some stuff going on and all the stupid things that happen like Danielle shouting on the phone to tease me and my msn was projected while the ALC peeps were chatting with me. Though things didnt work out but I guess it gave us some great memories. :)

Anyway, was actually quite pissed about some stuff today because I feel things should not be done in this way. Not convenient to post it out due to sensitivity. But anyway, what to do. But its ok.

Comeback camp ,CCKSS SEC2 Camp

2008-04-03T17:14:00.003+08:00

Finally I am back in camp and this time was for CCKSS sec2.

Spend the night at yaoxin place with treviz and cherie before heading down to Lot1 for breadfast and proceeding on to Jbac.

Day1.

To start with, haha my mirror was Jolene and we got class 2.9. Gave them the name Mickey because 2 girls in the grp got mickey mouse sleeping bag. For us,there were no meal duties so we were assigned to clean the toilet for 2 days. First day, had GS,LE and abs with the students. There were 2 lanes for ABS and somehow it was quick, they cleared the activity quickly and soon we were preparing campfire while waiting for the zipline team. After that, had kidnap in the night as usual and lady luck was smiling and we got 2nd.

MSG FOR YUANSHAN : HAHAHA, Next time, Dont Hao Lian after you got the first key horrrr. hahaha. Joking Joking

Day2

Basically we were at CRC and CP for the whole morning, it was damn tiring as we were under the scorching sun while belaying so naturaly,we were perspiring like mad but once again, while waitin for their classmate to climb, mickey did their campfire prep again so we save alot of time in the planning side.

After lunch it was kayaking, CFP and Nature rumble. Kayaking was fun but I couldnt be part of it due to my leg. Anyway, I got one of the student who got to be up there too for some reason so kinda chatted with her for a bit.

Campfire prep time, they wasted so much time for making themself wet, it kinda irritate me cause I was still thinking where should I do my campfire prep cause they have wet shorts and there they go, making themselve wet. Luckily they had planned the performance bit by bit during the process so it was down to reharsing. Thanks the peeps, you know who you are for the preparations you made. :P

Put up the performance at night, it was a job well done beside the small little part when Low was halted due to technical problems. Luckily, we won copycat and kinda hype them up. Veron speech make lots of them cry and then had a bit of talk with the team as well.

Day3

HOME SWEET HOME :)

My personal thoughts for the camp.

I had quite a number of first time in the camp.
They were
1) Mirroring someone for a 2nd time and it was Jolene, I never mirror anyone 2 times since last year.
2) Had test with Jody, first time as well.
3) Had to stay back to clean the place again.

For the class level, it would been perfect if all of them were much enthu, despite having small talks most of the chinese guyz,they still did not improve much. Maybe they are sec2 and typical chinese guy, so maturity was still lacking in them But lucky the cheer were louder during the performance. The malay guyz were fantastic and this include Bing and my fellow Monkey for helping me alot in the abseiling as well and in crc.The girls were mostly great and enthu and I guess they were abit irritated during the planning for campfire but job well done :).

Many of them said I still wasnt myself in this camp,the hype level and in terms of taking the cohort was lacking. But for me, in this camp,my main objective was about my own group,not much on cohort,I wana adapt myself back to camp mode first. I guess still abit lacking though but hope 2.9 had great fun with me and Jolene in the house.

Next camp Tangling Sec from 9th-11th Finally Eunice camp again after Juying pri sch last year. HAHA, My aim is to bring myself back to the Rendall who is super hyper in front of the whole cohort as well. And I am confident I can do that. :)

ROCK ON MICKEY 2.9 - MICKEY AISEHHHH

Back to Jbac finally

2008-03-28T15:49:00.002+08:00

Things are looking up now.

Went to Jbac yesterday for Westwood sec campfire and also my cousin last camp. Alex,Jeremy and me we rent a car for 50 a day so that we can drive in and out of Jbac and it will be much more convenient. Went to meet Alex and Jolene at Bugis first and having dinner with much chatting before meeting Jeremy.
While in the car, apologize by Timbaland was our song, we sang like mad, it sounds like killing chicken I guess, Poor Jolene you got to endure the torture. haha

Anyway,there were just 4 helper in the camp which is the 4 of us.But that all that is needed, first time drive though, quite a nice feeling I guess.

After that, kent and Jac also join us going out of Jbac and we went to sembawang for supper before heading back home.

Got a call from NTU saying I have an interview for Biological science, I dont know how the interview will be, not confident at all though.

But the best part,I will be back doing camp On the 31st-2nd April for Chua Chu Kang Sec sch so I will be away then again :)

Another weekend gone

2008-03-24T03:11:00.002+08:00

There goes another weekend. And yea, first up is to update the wound. It has dried up and the skin are building up layer by layer and hopefully in 2 weeks I will be back in action again.

Nothing much to Good friday, maybe just overnight mahjong with Jeremy He, Kent,Gwen with Charles as well. Quite hilarious cause I had to like guide him playing while I was on the line with Victoria(not from campha).

Saturday was basically just watching program all the way and watching Singapore vs Australia friendly , which was live on channel 22. Nothing spectacular but just the Lions should improve their finishing, many threat were given to the socceroos on the wet field, totally not accepted in an international football match. Watch my belove Newcastle united taking on Fulham next and finally 1st win for keegan courtesy from Goals from Viduka and Owen. Martin was always a threat with his pace. I can see more positive play and hopefully, the magpies will be a force to reckon with next season.

Again, today was just watching television for the whole day again as well as Man united taking on Liverpool, quite interesting with 3 goals and a stupid red card for Javier Mascherano. What a dumb player.

I guess I been missing lots of stuff lately but soon ,I will be back. I did thought about stuff during this period for me. I intend to be different when I go back, hopefully I will be just like what I hope I will be.

Never ending thoughts

2008-03-19T02:44:00.002+08:00

First up, good news is that no mini ops is needed,my leg is recovering and hopefully by 28th march, my left will be back to normal and prepare for tonnes of teasing by fellow instructors I guess.

I guess cause of this injury, I got to stay at home almost daily and facing the different electrical appliances daily with my laptop being my companion most of the time. I dont know why, I just cannot but think about what has happen in terms of some relationship stuff.

Sometimes,I really wonder,if I didnt let you go, this period of loneliness which I am feeling will be filled, the special care I really need would be given I guess. But its been such a long time and still I'm haunted by the most foolish decision I have ever made.

Recently, met this nice girl who I thought could change my imperfect life and so went on to knowing her but at of the day, doubt she is the one. Its bothers me when the truth remains unspoken after some time but its ok.
But thankfully, my buddy Jeremy HHH has been arranging some mini gathering at my place to kill my boredom as well. Thanks bro. All this are really greatly appreciated alot.

Sometimes I wonder, should I start to be more consistent on the type of person I am. I mean I'm selective on when to be mature and stuff. And at times,when I dont feel the need to be more compose in front of people, I got misunderstood. I wonder.

Anyway,I'll just end off my final stuff with my fellow colleagues. Be mindful of what you are doing at different places. People will see things differently and if any negative thing started, you could have been the one who provided the chance for it to come. Just a general statement :)

Freaking Low Morale

2008-03-14T01:33:00.002+08:00

Ok, finally, a week passed since my injury. Its been a long week I guess.
While, will be seeing a specialist tomorrow cause I dont feel great pain when the bandage are remove and there is a big issue cause this may means my nerve is damage and I got a dead skin. Worse to the worse is one mini skin graft OP and I may be out for a longer period of time.

This whole week, though I dont seem that down about it but really deep in my heart, its not the case. I miss camps so much and camps is what I wanna do till NS. But now all are halted and considering there may not be much camps in May due to the secondary school examination ,I just wonder how many more camps can I do. Depressing. But what can I do? Answer is nothing.

Anyway, I'm really hoping that I will be back real soon.

Student leaders of Hwa Chong

tent pitching under the rain outcome

Not everyday you gonna get near that sign

The 2 great SL of my class YuJie and Tanyang

Hwa Chong Institution Camp.

While my first boy's school camp and its one of the top school in Singapore. It was kinda hard to control them at first. They are smart but not mature enough and being guys,they are indeed playful. And yeah, ISPARK, that my corsotium as what is said there, not major or house but a much more CHIM words.

We were kinda unlucky as we reached St John Island in a raining condition so lunch was under the jetty and the rain stopped,thought all gonna go well until it rained during tent pitching and that when the instructors were mostly under the rain, I mean instructors of ispark and ortus. We were all pitching and drenched totally but at the end of the day, we had a sense of archievement and this small lttle event was like a mini team building session for us. Called out for student leaders to help us out abit when the rain was much lighter and we had fun too with them from NCC singing most of their R-RATED songs. Anyway,the tents area suck big time with spider,centipede, beetles and even a small snake was spotted but lucky HCI student, went to sleep in dorms instead. Day1 ended real late and lights out was at 12.15.

Day2 was boring at first cause it was again raining and the rain stopped in the afternoon so I had orienteering with the kids before wasting time, I had so much time to spare. Campfire was ok, maybe cause they are guyz so its kinda hard to get going and with mine being gifted, I gues its a tougher task but surprisingly Ispark performance were the last 2 and that really brought our spirit up.

Ispark is really great with superb fellow instructor of Zakir, Bao Yun AKA E.S and Old HCI boy Yan Long.

But my ride went down when I went to bottle tree,dun wanna explain much, I got a 2nd degree burn on my left light and I wont be doing camps for 2 weeks. Its indeed a very very low point but while, just my luck. Hope this 2 weeks will pass real soon, sorry to anyone who I suppose to meet and to Andrew for backing out his camp due to this injury.

Was bored so just update it again ..

2008-03-04T00:17:00.003+08:00

Was doing macpherson sec camp from 25-27 Feb.

The camp was at camp christine so obviously the location to me aint as great as our own homeground Jalan Baterah. Been there once for queenstown sec camp as a runner.

I guess this camp, I wasnt as hype up as SAC. Felt SAC camp was really great, the spirit and qualities the girl have were excellent and naturally that was the expectation I had in my next camp. Maybe it just came naturally for that kind of expectation and in the end, it just wasnt to be, maybe neigbourhood school just lack that edge.

Due to that,I was slightly much more fiercer in this camp and was nagging/lecturing at the student alot about the different stuff. The group was actually dying until day2 when we won the multi level captain ball, it was really great,moral just swell up and we were ready for campfire, so enthu about it and that also kinda sparks me during song session when we kinda had a major fight against jeremy in major B and kelvin in major C.

We did let's twist again for campfire and I felt it was great. The malay guyz were great and of course my camp ZUL got the best boy, he was great and luckily we voted for him the night before or he will not have got it. But still, all the best CHACOK RUMBLE :)

My Macpherson CHACHOK

All about being MUDDY :p

And maybe just talk about our Mr Terrorist who escape from the supposingly highly protected and safe detention cell. He just cause Singapore law enforcer to become a target of mockery. But then again, I guess its all internal job just like the chinese show WU JIEN DAO. There are the bad policeman and the undercover in the terrorist side. So wil we say goodbye to Changi Airport any time soon. Maybe considering he is the mastermind who planned for that event. So lets all pray to whichever God is there and available that may the world be in PEACE REAL SOON.

And I will be away from the 5-7 due to Hwa Chong Instituition camp :)

My best Camp So far Saint Anothony Canossian CAMP CORRI

2008-02-27T21:22:00.006+08:00

20-22th Feb 2008

Reach SAC at close to 7.30 I think. Along the way to the canteen, saw many of the sec4 leaders who remembered me and Jeremy and the feeling was great having former campers around and to know that they remember you. WOOT WOOT

Then, we were introduced to the schol and Yeah, I forget the reception you girls gave me when Veron introduce me to class 2/5. Oh yea, I have ah lian sec4 leader in the team in Sarah aka Sarah Lian ,there were also Melissa Samatha, Sarah Decent and Maria.

After ice-breaker and stuff, somehow started to get the girls going and I guess by starting my ultimate panic clap is great because it made everyone deaf. The girls were really so hyper and waving to any passing vehicle aboard the bus. Some point in the bus, the first person I thought was a bimbo was Amanda but in the end, she was one of the most gung ho girl who get muddy and climb the high elements first and of course she became one of the girl that I always tease as well.

And next, Jamie,one of the motor of the class cried the moment Veron was briefing about what to expect like high element. Ironic, first time a camper cry in the MPH and not in the CRC area.The camp was relatively quite noisy through JBac, I mean that what you expect from a girls school with their screeching voice.

In terms of activity,I'm really glad that all of the girls went up either the zipline,absail or CRC. And of course, for CRC, I will remember Marilyn for trying the most and go for a 2nd try on the challenge pole which she succeed. As for nature rumble, it was done quite well too and the entertainment for that was seeing Janice screaming cause of the worm except that we had lunch then kayaking after that which was quite crap. Shitty schedule.

As for kidnap, only issue that arise was Shirilyn falling down and bled. She became famous among instructors suddenly if you ever see her while she was being attended by the first aider, you will know what I mean but you are brave girl, take care of your knee.

Of course not everything went well like I made the girls did the Buddha Clap for simply moving too slow , it was actually the only hindrance the class had if not,its pURRRRfeccct.

To the program that I am super proud of and that is campfire, the whole performance was done by them the cheers lead by them, it was just about them. It show how good are they and of course they used XiShuaShua which is my forte song as well and Aveline leading the cheer

I will remember your campfire performance, the initiative mindset you had, the time you spitted the orange seeds while having fun during guarding of the rubbish bin, the different series of event that happen to all of you, the great student leaders I had and the tears that trickle down and lastly will be class 2.5

I was really touched when even on 3rd day, some of you cried and even on bus, for all this really shows the bond I had with all of you. I wish each and every single one of you good luck in life and cherish the moment you have with one another for 2.5 is a class you will miss after graduation. Thanks for giving me the best ever camp and giving me all this great memories :)

THE BESTEST OF THE BEST 2.5 HOT HOT HOT

Finally I enter the BIG 2 age

2008-02-11T00:03:00.000+08:00

Woah. I guess my 20th birthday has been great , able to meet up my buddies in RP as well as with my CHA instructors and hearing 4 birthday songs for me.

Started the birthday in Alfred place, nothing much, was actually prepared to go to Changi V for supper with the instructors, there were simply too many of them so its hard for me to like name out everyone, it was normal with me just standing on the chair and yea, had birthday song then normal makan before heading back home.

Woke up and went to met Boshi, Jeff,Gab and kelvin for K lunch since I was already late meeting Eunice. Heez. Thanks them plus Vennessa and Shu Ling for the Nike Tee, thanks alot :P

After that,Alfred picked me up and of we went to veron place, and as soon as I enter kelvin lam annouce about my birthday again and TA DAR, Birthday song again before having PCB for CWSS which was for me to know the program only before heading off to AMK where we had steamboat.

Steamboat wasnt that bad and started the dinner in having to wear a condom onto a banana but too bad, it just wasnt meant to be, I BROKE THE CONDOM, maybe I JUST LIKE IT RAW, haha, oppz.

After that, had this bowl of mixture with Chilli, tom yum soup, sweet sauce, chilli sauce, it was sucha a nightmare and I had to visit the toilet soon after. But before the toilet visitng, the gang gave me a cake and birthday song again before my face was just slightly hit with cake and having to use my mouth to take the candles out.

Thanks everyone for the gift, nike tee, Hush pupy tee and boxer , cookies from meiqi, tie for val, and a compilation photo from samathan, cup for diamond bling and melvin, oh yea,this 2 somemore pinch my nipples and smack my leg until all bruise while in the taxi. A cupcake from Chern,Reb and Jiemin.

Really Thanks people especially those from CHA, I'm dead damn glad to ever met you all and hope we will do camps together :)

Something going wrong, how to rectify

2008-02-04T12:31:00.000+08:00

I find that I change alot. From someone sooooo flirtatious and happy on the inside and on the out to someone who is so much less chee hong, more philosophical, more pessimistic.

It's weird, 2 years back, I was like partying non stop, doing well in study, having a great IG and not much worry. My 18th birthday was clubbing in ChinaBlack and kickoff to the clubbing world for about a year.

Nowadays, I seem to have too much view on people and want things to be perfect, is it cause I am so blended with so many different types of people or what. I just dont know

Anyway,now I hope to go back the old me which many say I'm Flirt while I would reply I'm just over-friendly.

Camps and Graduation

2008-02-02T19:39:00.000+08:00

Started the year with East View sec camp. Somehow ,I havent got the photo so didnt upload. The camp was great at St John Island, my first time there. Met many new instructors and mirrored Jaclyn and Jolene.

Quite lucky to have a natural best camper in the team. Man, I blogged this like 1 month already so I cannot remember details but I do recall of the logistic room, it was a prison cell and safari bed were there ,there was like a drawing of soldier there as well, kinda scary especially in the room in the dark.

Anyway, last week went to Jbac as well, all thanks to Patrick ,he called me at like 12 when I'm in school, then I just straight went to Jbac with him with no washing up stuff, so imagine not bathing and not brushing teeth for more than 24hours and proceed to KFC to eat the next day as well. But still it was fun.

Last camp queenstown sec, got to be runer for the 2 days and spend the night at Andrew place before camp cause have to do stuf. I realise being runner can learn alot, is like the planning of tents and many things that should be prepared beforehand, because we fail to do that,so we were not that organize at first but since its my first time ,so I will learn frm it.
The student were kinda noisy ,teachers were like my best friend asking me so many stuff, dogs came in, totally lost in doing the campfire preparation which luckily patrick came back in time to help me with it.

And of course I have 3 good friend who are the school most pai kia student but somehow, can talk to them and it was easy. And seeing the way one of them spoke to be during campfire, I can sense he wants to change but just if he will put what he say/think into action which I hope he will.

End of the day, left after campfire. Sad, coz I felt the class I kinda help class 2G a n/t are really nice people but just need to feel more confidnet and shine. I really wish this class the best and hope they will succeed in life. :P

Summary of 2007

2008-01-12T14:37:00.000+08:00

Its close to 2 weeks in 2008 and then I decided to do my summary of 2007. haha

There are both positive and negative issue to take. Maybe start with the more negative side. School has been a chore, it started as just FYP was a chore and school was relatively ok but until when i reach year3, I feel school become a place I shouldnt be in. Is it RP culture which I hate, too many slackers, people who dont think and the PBL system, while I guess its all of the reason and my closer friends in RP have all graduate as well so its boring. Even now, but thanks God ,I left just 3 more weeks of school and then graduation.
On a more relationship terms, while I missed her throughout the year. I dont know what to do but just to move on and see what happened next.

POSITIVE SIDE.

It was nice to be involve in chingay festival as an liason officer and I'm happen I took that up, thanks to Jason Goh. It was great knowing those taiwanese kids and the other liason officer from student like me to working adults. Met up a few more time after that and it all just seem to so fun and great experience to have.

And again thanks to Jason, I met a group of fun people and the network is just increasing. And that is camp High Archivers , a camp instructor job. My first camp I remember was for clementi woods secondary school and first time, was quite stress and totally clueless of what I should do.
From there I have did a number of camps and they are Clementi woods, Chung Cheng high Yishun, Jurong West sec, greenridge sec, xinmin pri, junyuan pri, sembawang sec and did belaying for pasir ris pri as well as a day event with RGS and helpout in some schools as well.
I grow alot from there, I geuss people there are super crappy, fun but yet mature and much more intellectual than people in school. I learn alot from all those people I met whether they are new or lao jiao. And of course, met many of my great pals like Jeremy and Terence. 3 of us first camp were together.

And of course I went to Taipei in December, that is seriously a very nice country and I wanna re-visit them again. Saw F.I.R and went to differnt night markets which we previously only watch on TV. I miss the place. Visited HK and Macau as well.

Yup, so that probably sums up everything. On a personal note, I feel I am empty, needing someone to fill me up but friends around have been great just that I do not have the balance yet. Hope 2008 will be great/:P

Bye 2007, Hello 2008

2008-01-02T00:23:00.000+08:00

Anyway, started new year eve, slacking and stuff before meeting Jeremy, Patrick, Azri, Melvin Loy, Terence for dinner at cafe cartel. As always ,instructors being together, full of crap and chatting alot and laugh alot as well, so it was inded Phew WEEt

But the real fun was after that, went down to Amelia Place, thanks God went to Ame place once last time or esle I would have gotta myself totally lost. But got heninken there. Of course, reach there, the host is there, Amelia, Rowell, Ruth, Francis.

PLayed the card game, havent even warm up, I got to like drink. haha. After that we just mix beer with vodka and stuff. So basically we had beer, Vodka with a bottle which is the normal one at 40% alcohol and another at 50% alcohol. Had SeeSha so basically is like the house of Sin.haha.
After that Francis left and new people again for me, meeting pris, eng xiong and zi xian. Pris got lots of linkage with me and she's kinda good friends with my cousin. Small Singapore. And lastly, Tok and Nick came, it was nice seeing all of them again. Games and stuff. Pure crap. :)

Part 2 of my Trip

2007-12-31T00:50:00.000+08:00

On Christmas day, flew from Taipei to HongKong. Stayed in Harbour Plaza Resort City which is situated at a developing area, its like Sengkang estate actually but with shopping centre, nice food and cinema.

HK, I got nothing much to say, the people are rude,the way they reply you is like you owe them money. And people often knock on to you without apologising or a gesture of apology. Nothing and they are poor in Chinese as well as English, so Singaporean should feel Singapore is great when you are in HK.

Since we didnt like HK ,so day2 went to Macau, took a ferry there. It was about an hour or so ride. The immegration system was bad, people were cutting lanes and stuff and squeeze in at any possible place, so like a typical China citizen but not all are that, I met this HangZhou guy and he felt the system was bad and he was polite. A malaysian lady was standing behind and we chatted, and she too say that HK people are RUDE.

Went into Macau and the first thing we see was CASINO CASINO AND MORE CASINO , we took a free shuttlebus to Casino Grand LISBOA and was in the casino watching my DAD played roulette. Quite a nice experience I should say.

After some time ,we left for sight seeing looking at the fortress, cathedral and churches left before by the portugese when Macau was still under their control. Had pork cutlet bun and bought portugese egg tart, totally YUM YUM. Honestly, they are soo different from HongKonger.

If you ever compare people in Taipei and Hongkong generally, Taipei people are more polite and warm in attending to you. But its a general point of view,there are always the minority which are opposite of the majority.

My trip in Taiwan, Hongkong and Macau

2007-12-28T22:00:00.000+08:00

20th December was the date I was looking forward to because I'm going to Taiwan and I can finally relaxe and with my HP not on auto-roam and wont be online at all, I have kinda rid myself of anyone in Singapore to contact me. Went for my trip with my family, relatives and friends as well so it was really nice.

Day1

Reach TaoYuan airport at about 5+ pm and there was some mis-communication between our 2 drivers,oh ya, we had 16 peeps so each mini van carry 8 of us and the 2nd one was delayed but it was not as bad because of the delay, I caught F.I.R just about 3 metres from me but didnt took photo because we were still delibrating on whether is it F.I.R and yes there are but there were to leave anyway. Quite not used to the time and the sky because the sky were like so dark at that time, it was just like being in Singapore at 8pm. Anyway, there is no time different between Singapore, Taipei, Hongkong and Macau.

After settling down at the our hotel, known as Cosmo Hotel aka Tian Cheng, we went to Xi Men and transportation were easy because taipei rail station was just beside the hotel and going to XiMen was just a few stops away. So went there and had our dinner, looking at pretty/cute girls and they had great milk tea, seriously, the one I had at XiMen was great, YUM YUM!!

Day2
Got on the train called "ZHI QIANG" to go to HuaLien, it was a 2 hours ride. Hualien is famous for its scenery as well as MoChi as that is their product. Hualien have the biggest tribal villagers but most dont live up the mountain anymore because alot were chased off during the Japanese Occuapation in Taiwan and there is a large amount of Gold there and that mountain is known as Taroko Moutain. Its a national park now. The scenery were simply excellent, the water, the wind and the craving of the moutains were just fantastic, all by the work of Mother Nature.

Lunch was great, I had this set meal call "When Wild Boar Met the Effiel Tower" dont ask me how they got that name but that was interesting. Food wasnt that bad either. After that, went and see the differnt scenery and there was a river and the water was so freaking pure and clean from afar, you can see the transparent water. Dinner was great too and went to get Mochi before heading back to Taipei.

Day3

Day3, Went to Dan Shui, took the red line all the way to the other end. It was beside the sea so naturally, the breeze was much cooler there. Had many nice food with quail eggs with anchovy, the long ice cream cone, Tako Cheese, prawn roll, metal eggs (direct translation) ,BBQ Squid, Ostrich meat as well.

After that, took a bus to Fisherman Wharf aka YU REN MA TOU. The bus was like turning like a F1 Bus. you really got to hold on to the pole provided if not, prepare to lose balance. First thing to see was the valentine bridge there, check out the sunset and chilling at a cafe with coffee.

Went to see the Ferris wheel in Taipei, got a nike shoe , they were having sales :P. Last activity of the day was to visit the famous Shi Lin Ye Shi which is a night market. Had great food there, egg oyster, coffin bread and the chickent cutlet was like 2 times of ours at the same price, I couldn;t finish that and shared with mom. Took a taxi back to hotel as it was past 12.30am, the add up was 200NT.

Day4

It's a simple day, went to Taipei 101 and its fastest life to the top from 5th-89th storey, its about the same time to take from level1-level7 in a HDB flat house here. The lift girl is very pretty and got a photo of her, taken by my brother, it's the first photo you can see below. The scenery up there was great and spend another 100NT to go all the way up, it was not enclosed so the wind was very big up there. And the view, nothing to say just AWESOME.

After went to WUFen pu where I got a belt and jeans before heading to check out some temple and visitng the shopping centre near our hotel. And went to ShiLin again and this time it was so much less crowded. Got a levis jeans there. And got a total of 3 jeans with my brother getting 2 and the 3 jeans in total cost less than 300SGD. It's real cause its an authorise dealer.

Day5.

Last full day I had in Taiwan. Quite Sad, cause I really love the place and the culture. But nevertheless, went up to Yang Ming Mountain to bath in hot spring before having lunch ther, it was a rainy day so it was real cold whenever you are not in the hotspring and we were naked but of cause there is a separation of male and female.

Left for Jiu Fen, it was raining and the clouds were dark, if not we will have a superb scenery again but the place was still nice and had ice cream roll or something, I know, I'm mad to have that on a cold day.

After that, left for JiLong Miao Kou and its food again and I was crazy enough to have Ice bendling sour plum and gluppling the my final sip and it was soooo freaking cold, should have see my expression, got some strawberry there.

Lastly, I'm back at ShiLin again cause my brother wanted to get the sweater he saw. So went to walk again. And that was how my Taiwan Trip ended.

Conclusion

Taiwan is a great country, I would really love to revisit the place. People are nice and considerate. People dont blast their music there loudly, I seen 0 incident of blasting music, they stand automatically to the right on escalator. The only thing I felt was their English, they use direct translation and they have to really strengthen their English cause some phrase, you just dont know how did they manage to dig that out.

This 1 week, no worries just pure enjoyment, been a long time since I felt this way, I just dont know what is wrong in Singapore, or rather what's wrong with me nowadays in my own homeland. Nothing seem right.

Anyway, I flew to HK after that, visted Macau as well, will up date on that again. Below are just a tiny bit of photo I snapped in Taipei, there are about 2 thousand photo,so those who wanna check it out, come find me instead. :P

2007-12-10T22:16:00.000+08:00

While, let me see, I'll up datemy blog since been requested or I should say being bugged to update.

Let start with SAC camp. Was down in JBac on 29 Nov to help in the SAC camps. It was a leadership camp and the instructors were kinda new and 3 were under internship so help is needed I should say. Went down with Jeremy and rah the girls alot. I always enjoy this partnership I have with Jeremy. It was simply pleasent and hope to up our level in this.

There were quite a few babes, I should say the outstanding babes for me is Pearlyn, Sharon and the other girl from the other group I dont know who. Sad that school was up the next day so I could not stay on until day3.

OOPMA LOMPA. Aint in the pic cause I LEFT EARLY argh !!!

Jeremy and Rendall

1st Dec

It's Ernest birthday, Met many more friends there like Jeff,Venn, Gab,Sam and Jane. These are people I feel so much comfortable to chat and hang out with but after they were enlisted, damn it like a part of me gone. Even I'm envy of the couple which I'm sure could have been me and Dix if I hadnt made the foolish decision. But still it great to be with them.

Jane Sam and Me :P

Went down to Jbac last saturday agian for Eunice birthday. As usual meet new instructors and saw many older ones like Patrick, Willie and others. It was nice. Played copycat too and was dead tiring cause I did stunt.

I guess things change. I realise that after being in CHA for some time. The way you behave and handle stuff change in a way. But that is not anything negative , could be positive too. But yea, waiting for next year :)

Moodless

2007-11-19T22:07:00.000+08:00

Was flipping and searching for my acadamic certificate cause I need it for my medical check up for NS on wednesday. Saw some photos with my sec sch life stuff and was nice to see pictures I took with the Japanese student when I was in sec4 and my groupies photo which we took during teacher day in sec4 as well. Then the last photo was me and her. If you know me, You will know who is the her.

I dont know why did I insist on that, why did I take for granted after a relatively simple wooing or maybe why didnt I try to rectify the issue. So many why and if but what can I do now, totally nothing. Been so long , girls coming in and out but the feeling is just not there. She is indeed the perfect one at least for me.

But then, I forsake her leaving her sad and now I am so haunted by it, not I'm guilty but more to I'm missing her alot. Nothing can change, Sound like some girls blogging and being just emotional but I dont know what esle to do but just do blog it out.

I remember when I was young, girls were my arch rival and I told myself, I will never have a girlfriend but now a much more mature guy, I am not really troubled but more to feeling down because of a girl.

Had an event with RGS today at CBD area. They had an amazing race.

Seriously I had nothing but praises for RGS. They aint call RGS for nothing, the school culture, school attitude that has been instill in the girls were really superb. Maybe they are indeed I was told the cream of the crop of RGS so they were of higher standard.

Anyway,I got my 2 goups, group2 and 8 and together we are group 3. Team name = bLA BLA because both of their original groups names were like sooo tongue-twisting. Group teachers were Alan and Priscilia, they were really nice teachers. I was quite stress at first cause I'm like taking RGS, a "WOW" school in Singapore. But as soon as I got settle down, I felt quite relaxe.

Now, I will tell you why their attitude is simply great by giving this example.We went down to Hong Lim Park before proceeding to the market. Movement were kinda slow so I just had to tell them about being a leader like being initiative and having a better sense of urgency. After that, they improve so much that during the whole race, I DO NOT need to repeat to them again. If I'm taking a normal neighbourhood school, trust me,I will have to nag a few times at them.

Now is their culture, I told my group girls, HEY GIVE ME A CHEER OF YOUR OWN. and they did some signal and the rest of the school just stand and did a school cheer, I was very impress by that kind of spirit as well as the cheer. How I wish this was a 3 D 2N camp rather than just a day cause I do miss my bla bla girls.

Today,I also heard Coach Yvonne talked about some terms in life or the objective of RGS race which is to pay it forward. I kinda like that point is that when someone help or guide me. Rather than just paying back to him, I should pay it forward to others which can be more meaningful and Making someone happy is still someone so its still fulfilling an worth it. I thought about it and I FEEL I have to learn more to appreciate the beauty around me.

After that went Seoul Garden with about 20 over instructors to celebrate Val birthday, it was damn comical, we had like camp songs there and were loud. Nothing much to talk about here.

Conclusion for the day : Inspired by Coach Yvonne words, impressed by RGS spirit and culture and lastly, I will really miss the BLA BLA girls of Raffles Girls Secondary School :)
