2005-06-26T11:52:00.000+08:00

Yes... after so long... from 30th april until 25th june... i period of 2 months..... i finally passed out and declared as a Probationary Cadet Inspector by Mr Charles Chong, Chairman NPCC Council, Member of Parliament, Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC.

The end of my life as a trainee, means the beginning of a new chapter in my life... thinking back to the time where i handed in my nomination form... n all the *shit* that i had gone through with my squad and batchmates.... I remember the objectives i had when i first wanted to be a CI... new friends were made on 30th april... bonds were forged along the way.... and when we all got our CI rank yesterday.... It was a moment of immerse joy...

Yup... i dun haf to wear the drill cloth... its taken back by the instructors... and yes... i still haf to clear my probation... and next friday, i shall walk into NTNP, carrying with me, the pride of J05...

2005-06-13T09:53:00.000+08:00

This ATC has been different from the other ATCs... The campers had a part to play in the planning...

I felt that i haf learnt many things and applied what was taught in RC... It has been fun and tiring... things we did include orienteering, kayaking, building of basha on a beach to slp, obstacles, etc.... Most imptly, i have learnt a valuable lesson....

kk.. gtg to skool liaoz... bb....

SP Flag Day...

2005-05-26T22:46:00.000+08:00

Today is a very hectic day for me. In the morning, i met my classmates at the mrt station b4 going to class together to report for the flag day.. then the director flagged us off... the area assigned to my class is aljunid... but we found out that there wasn't much ppl there so we went to bugis, suntec, raffles city n areas ard there... there wasn't much luck at all cause there is like 5 thousand SP ppl going ard... n its kinda difficult to get donations with so many collectors at one place. N i found out that suntec is not compassionate... juz stand outside their tower they also want to chase.. idiots... nvm...

Right.. really disliked ppl who juz ignore u... even if u dun want to donate, a simple 'no thank you' is much appreciated... also saw some comical things.. like how the ppl try to avoid us at every corner.. lolx..

Then we(the class) met up again n travelled back to SP to return our tins... then i was sabotaged to be the class rep.. then i went to ntss for NPCC activity... it was so messy.. but nvm.. since its their first time... dun want to talk abt it.. so tired now.. dun want to type any more...

Went to class n met my classmates for the first time... 20 ppl in my class... 19 names to remember.. lolx.. then was told abt SP flag day to collect money for 46 charitable organisations in Singapore... n guess wad?? my assigned area is Aljunid... thats like so far from my hse... but nvm, for the sake of charity... haha.. my class ganna meet at the mrt then go to the meeting point together... kk.. then everyone did a bit of self introduction to the rest of the class... ya.. then after that went for a short walk ard the campus with the senior leading us...

Neway, today is the inter-unit quiz competition organised by ntnp(new town npcc)... ya... supposed to appear there larz... cause other 2 fellow CIs r bz... both with school... juz hope my heel wun affect me too much larz... ya... been preparing for it for quite some time... juz hope that there r no cock ups... but hey~!, thats y i m there right?? so solve probs shld any appear... although we haf already been quite proactive to think of the possible cock ups.. but who noes wad will happen?? today can also be considered at the first event the sec 3 squad is in charge after they become ncos... so perhaps this can also be a test for them ba...

Right.. yesterday went to friend's school to use the school's spars n ropes to test out our pioneering structure... its a competition between the squads larz... then we got to use wad we built to play some game... its actually a catapult and a shield larz.... one to shoot n one to catch wad u shoot... so i dun think i need to say which is for wad larz... but so sad couldn't really do much cause of my stupid heel.. then it rained all of the sudden n i got to get out of the rain cause that bandage cannot get wet... sigh... then we built a mini one using dowel poles under the shelter...

Bye RC... Hi ATC...

2005-05-15T20:20:00.000+08:00

Whee~! the Residential Course(RC) is over... honestly speaking, it juz ended today larz... now at home.. in front of the computer... exactly 7 days since i last left it alone...

Feel so tired... been undergoing both physical n mental stress during the course... our feet did not stop moving until we slp at night... also our ear drums r quite damaged as well... neway, all these is nth... cause wad is bitter to go through, is sweet to remember... n i believe in that... so after 7 days, i finally get to slow down my pace of life... n sit n relax for a while...

Throughout the course, i haf learntmany things... shan't bore u with the regular NPCC stuff like drills, campcraft, orienteering etc. the most impt thing which i haf learnt that i muz do is to think. there is a reason behind everything that is done... n also, dun ask questions which dun need to be answered... as in, u dun haf to be told wad to do.. instead juz do wad u r supposed to do... of course this is onli one way of thinking... there r many others... shan't bore u with that too...

My squadmates r a bunch of interesting ppl... honestly speaking, without them, i would nvr haf survived this 7 days... also thanks to my bunkmates as well.. without the talk cork session every night, life would haf been unbearable... the instructors were being harsh on us... well, i guess thats the norm? but haf u ever wondered y? i nvr. until onli recently when i learnt to think... my instructor said to us.... think til it hurts.... n we'll get the answer... n with that, we would master the skill of self-discovery... n i haf much to learn.

Well, the RC is now over... but i still haf got 1 ATC n 2 or 3(i can't remember) NRCs left... n i haf a meeting tml for my ATC grp.... this is another mental stress which i m going through now... n my heel is injured... suppose thats a physical stress? i dunno... i dunno how long i can hang on... but i will... not because i muz... but because of the objectives which i had in mind from the day i decided to join this course...

Lastly... i'll end off with this phrase which my instructor left me... he told us via a story.. so here it is:

2 photographiers went to France to take pictures of a beautiful place... but to go to the place with the best scenery, they haf to go through an alley filled with shit n dun smell good... one decided to juz take a normal scenery some where... while the other continued on and made it through... when returned, the editor asked the one who went through the alley 'why did u go through it when its to smelly n dirty?' the photographier replied 'Sometimes, we haf to go through shit to get the best things.'

Hope that the story is inspirational to you... Cheers n good night.

Day 1 of the cibtc wasn't that bad.. other than shoutings from the CIIs... they r practically crazy ppl larz... mine r strict like mad... but when discussion they do try n make us think more... ya lar...

It was actually a rather boring day yesterday... other than pt drills in the morning... the other times were all lectures... thats y i say bored ma... then saw all the paper work that has to be done for one atc... makes me dun feel like planning atc at all... especially if u r the logistic ic.. good luck man...

Right.. first day.. n got 4 homework already... so sad siaz... got to do lesson planning, sec 3 atc planning, my own atc planning n the unit info sheet which i muz fill in... of which.. all haf not been mailed to me.. so... ya... cant start on any... worse still there isn't much time to plan... they force ppl to meet n arrange outside de.... hm... later ganna caught by police as rioting or illegal gathering the jia lat...

Neway, for next week's training... i ganna need to bring my full uniform... in fact to fall in by 8am in full u with all the admin stuff completed... so ganna meet my squad at 7am larz... we got to protect our ear drums... if not later become deaf... then its like juz a few more days left to polish my boots n belt up to standard... if not ganna scolding for sure.. the stupid drill cloth also so hard to pin one... haiz...

K.. the whole thing took like 2 n a half hours... basically, we were greeted in the morning by ms lee jing yng n ms loy wei kin who both discouraged us from joining the course... say things like the very uninviting looking bunks n its conditions... like no heater n lots of mosquitoes... kewl huh? lolx.. then still say abt the stupid 200 dollars fine... apparently they failed larz.. cause no one stepped out of the room...

Ha... k.. so i started to polish my boots today... the stupid clouds were in the way of the sun.. but nvm... the results were still good... can reflect colour nicely... not bad on first polish... right tml's the first NRC of the whole course... ganna be mentally prepared to be shouted at.. lolx...

Blogging..

2005-04-16T22:15:00.000+08:00

Considering that it has been a long time since i last blogged, i decided to blog today... wad to blog abt? actually i have no idea.. perhaps explain why i haf not been blogging... (not that anyone bothers..)

Neway, it is not due to no time... in fact i do haf some spare time every now n then... but juz that some things which i want to blog abt... r not exactly things which i want to announce to the whole world... ya... i need some privacy too... ya... basically thats the reason y i haven blog for so long...

I realised that it doesn't really pay to be kind... cause ppl tend to take advantage of u.. however, i m not saying that u shld be evil either... as long as u can face ur conscience(if u have any) at the end of the day, i suppose all is fine... but they say when u help others, u dun expect anything in return... yup... thats the sprit... juz got to be more alert n stop at once when u noe that u r taken advantage of...

2005-04-09T17:17:00.000+08:00

Sleep is important... cause who can go without slp? ok... maybe for a few days, but even so, ultimately, u haf to slp... or ur body is too tired n juz doze of to slp without ur consent...

Recently, like i haf mentioned in my blog, i haf got a new hobby of asking ppl to slp... i noe this is kinda irritating, but it seems to be a good thing to do to remind ppl to take care of their health.. ironically, i myself dun really slp that early nowadays... perhaps due to the fact that i may be enjoying my holiday? hm... worse still, there are times whereby my eye lids r dropping but i cannot fall aslp... i would find myself thinking abt a lot of things while lieing on my pillow... some times, i dun even noe wad i m thinking...

Ok, but wad i m trying to say here is, folks, wadever it is, plz dun forget ur slp...

Memories...

2005-03-20T19:10:00.000+08:00

As every second of the day passes, there is history in making... Many things occurs... be it good or bad, will become part of ur memory..

In my case, i haf 16 years of records in the book of my life... many memories, be it good or bad, r recorded down... in the end, i realise that the memories that causes the most grief is recorded the clearest... i dunno if this is true for the rest of u.. cause in my case again, ppl ard me often intentionally, or unintentionally, remind me of certain things... of course i choose to ignore n pretend its all fine... but actually... sigh... kk.. enuff of that... Memories are also very precious... even bad ones... cause they serve as learning lessons... we will remember our mistakes, or good points to note, n apply them in future... they are also precious in a sense that sometimes... things onli happens once a life time... so... ya... if u forget it... it will be so sad...

Anyway, this entry is totally crap... i dunno wad i m saying... neither do i really care... sigh..

Bukit Timah Hike 2005

2005-03-19T21:14:00.000+08:00

In my opinion, the bukit timah hike 2005 has been a learning lesson for both me n the NCOs...

Although many things were not correctly done, but at least the prog went on smoothly... i m actually proud of them for the first time that they managed to keep the cadets entertained because the bus was late... then it is also the enthusiasm in the NCOs that make the cadets very enegetic as well.. which i feel its good.. =)).. Although there r some casulties, but it did not affect the mood of the cadets.. which is a good point...

NCO Training Camp part 1

2005-03-15T22:19:00.000+08:00

Been in skool for monday to tuesday for the NCO Training Camp...

This is the first time i went for NCO Training Camp as the unit instructor... this definately gaf me a very different perspective of the camp as from before... Basically, in this camp, i learnt how to look at cadets as well as some new skills... as a whole, the cadets dun look good... however, there r a few potential ones which i think can be groomed into good ncos... from the course, i haf seen the true colours of cadets with regards to their attitude n personality...

Basically... i m now relatively tired... going to slp soon...

The Ubin Hike

2005-03-12T22:40:00.000+08:00

Before i start, i would like to thank ms ang for letting me come along...

Right... a cadet's point of view of things, is always different from that of their ncos, instructors, CIs n TOs... this is because, there r things which they dun see, or dunno... but in such a position whereby we know the rational behind certain things, we shld not make that mistake... i dun understand y some ppl can actually do things which they noe they r not supposed to... contridicting the instructions given out previously n setting a bad example, n comfusing the cadets... nvm...

The hike went on well.. can see that the cadets are tired.. but shld any cadet stumble upon this site, the msg to u is that u r not the onli one.. wad abt ur ncos n officers? r they not tired? n y r they not complaining as much? perhaps u can try to appreciate the effort spent in planning the hike for u? we went by the NPCC campsite, noordin beach, chicken feet, bermuda triangle n mamam beach which all brought back memories of both NPCC camps n OBS...

Generally, i really enjoyed my time at ubin, n thank ms ang for letting me go once again... n i hope that the cadets r mentally well prepared for their ATC...

Last PE...

2005-03-10T19:59:00.000+08:00

Today's the last afternoon pe lesson that i m ganna take in innova... sigh.. ganna miss it man...

Neway, our class's attendance once again beat 4 classes combined... some classes even haf zero attendance.. cool huh? we ran to vista point from innova... n ran back... it is abt 4.5-5km... it took us 18++ 19 minutes to complete it.. its kinda fun cause we get to go out n see the area in woodlands... ya... then there was a cool breeze blowing as well... when we got back... while waiting for the gals.. we did 5 sets of 20 jumping jacks, 10 push ups n 15 crunches per set... yar... n that finished up the pe lesson...

Starting to feel a bit of after effect of the run... but to think that there wun be anyone to make me run in future... may i haf the determination to run myself...

School isn't exactly as fun as it seemed to be nowadays... partly because i noe that i m most probably not return to a junior college for an education... I m actually beginning to slack... sigh...

Sigh... i totally lost the feeling i had at the beginning of the first 3 months at innova... i cannot believe that i m actually thinking of skipping lessons because i lost the feeling of wanting to continue... but obviously i didn't... i mean... who can imagine me doing that? they would think that i muz be crazy... it seems to me that waking up in the morning to go to innova is now nth but torture... not that i dun miss my friends there, or that i want to avoid them.. but it seems, the enthusiasm is no longer there is lost... i spoke to some chers abt it.. they say that this feeling is actually normal for someone like me who noes that i m not going back to the college...

Neway, i'll still return to the college to finish up the 3 months.. afterall... got to finish wad i started... ya? sigh...

Moodless..

2005-03-07T21:25:00.000+08:00

Ah~!!! Honestly speaking, i dun really haf the mood to go to skool nowadays... i slammed my alarm clock this morning n heard a loud n distinct voice shouted at me.. "你要不要去学校的?? 要就起来，不要就讲!!"... yes... its my mum... when i finally dragged my body off my bed, i fell back in again... Perhaps this feeling is present because i noe i wun be going back there to study?? hm...

Neway, i still went to skool nontheless.. firstly not to waste skool fees, secondly wanna cherish the time i haf left in IJC... right... nth eventful happened today... except for maybe a suprise mock SPA test during chem practical... sigh... its abt titration actually... my titration went quite well... but i think i screwed up the questions... partly because i m not in the mood... n its most prob the last titration i do until much much later... sigh... after this is maths lecture... mr eng made our day by saying that we haf to copy notes for the lecture.. .cause there is no notes on it... cause they brought forward the lecture... so.. .spent the hour copying like mad...

Sigh.. managed to help a friend with her biology on the way home.. glad to help.. but looks like there wun be such chances any more in future... i ganna miss my class people man... we seem to be so connected... but nvm... sure to haf more outings in future i m sure... well... juz wanna end off by saying, 1S04.. no matter where u guys go, i wish u guys all the best...

Finally...

2005-03-04T20:45:00.000+08:00

Sigh.. i finally submitted my registration through the JIS system(which i think is a failure)... I juz hope that it is the right choice, even if it isn't, i am going to stand by it... cause i think that it is the best route...

Ok.. went to ntss earlier today for NPCC... wah.. the whole place like juz earthquake like that... very messy... was also running abt here n there... briefing cadets on choosing the right uniform n also taking attendance of the sec 3s b4 they go off for their .22 shooting... then settled down with my sec 1s... yes.. they r my sec 1s... i feel kinda attached to them already... although i still missed those that i recruited... cause afterall, i recruited them... either way, i m confident that i can train them into excellent ppl... ya... kinda sad to start the day with punishment n scoldings, but its not my fault... i mean, u r punished because u do the wrong things... in this case, they keep breaking rules that we remind them since day 1... looks like they need a stronger reminder.. .so they asked for it, n they got it... =).. hey! i m not a sadist ok!!

Right, the day went quite well.. i m quite glad that for those who came today, they haf more or less gotten the idea of kakanan lurus... ya.. considering that its their first lesson on it, i m quite happy with the result... if this goes on, can finish teaching very fast... then more time can be used for practising...

Now gtg n bath liaoz... juz got back home... agenda of the night: Bath, Eat, Game, TV(san guo yan yi)!!!

MacRitchie Trek...

2005-02-25T21:13:00.000+08:00

Wah... went for the 10.3km tree-top trial at MacRitchie today... its kinda fun to be embraced in nature once again...

Went off to causeway point to eat lunch after the lessons... finished at ard 1330h... then walked ard causeway to buy somethings which is needed... such as water, sweets n batteries(for my camera)... then left causeway at 1400h n reached MacRitchie at ard 1445h... went to change into pe attire n met ms lee down there... then waited for other ODAC members to come... then ms chew n mr sim were late because they had a meeting... so at ard 1545h, we finally started our trek...

The trek itself was ok... with ups... n downs... n ups again.... quite stony ground... lotsa leaves as well... lolx... but i enjoyed the walk though... i felt as though i was drenched in rain due to my perspiration... neway... after abt 5km or so, we reached the HSBC tree-top trail... yar larz... which is basically a 100m long n shaky narrow bridge abt 50++ meters above ground... actually, its much much higher... cause already did lots of climbing before reaching it... the view is fantastic... can see quite far away... all the buildings n the reservoir itself... then ms chew also told us some info abt the plants there... but its kinda short larz... very fast crossed over liaoz... then we trekked down and ended the trip...

It has been so long since i really went trekking... kinda happy to haf this chance today...

Issit a bad omen??

2005-02-23T18:17:00.000+08:00

As we all know, the 'o' level results are going to be out soon... juz thinking back, it juz seemed to be yesterday that i m taking the exam(if onli it is true). Anyway, although i haf said in previous entry not to be worried as there is no point in doing so, but 2 incidents happened consecutively today which made me wonder if they meant anything at all.

I was at bukit gombak macdonalds today with a couple of friends.. dun ask me why i m there cause its a real long story.. so we chat n ate there until its abt time to go home... as per normal we walked out of the restaurant n walked to the train station, eating the ice cream cone on the way... juz as the door of the train closed, i suddenly realised that i haf dropped my file in the macdonalds... kinda started to panic as the file contains very precious lecture notes n tutorial worksheets... upon reaching bukit batok station, i took another train back to gombak n ran towards the macdonalds... thankfully, it is still there... was a little relieved... then when i stepped into the train at gombak again, the door of the train closed, n opened, n stayed open for the next 15 minutes... an announcement informed us that there is a problem with the train... then when i look out, every thing look normal... even the next train had arrived at the station but was unable to enter cause my train is still stuck there... the worst is yet to come.... when the train finally moved n reached jurong east, i was unable to get off... because jurong east is crowded with ppl wanting to board the train i m in(due to the delay)... was almost forced to take the train back to woodlands...

So you see, with the release of the 'o's so near, all these incidents could be an omen... they can also be juz coincidence... so... wad do u think?

I decided that i muz post something abt the rumours which has been flying abt... I think that i muz state my view b4 it makes more ppl freak out...

Dear friends... do NOT... i repeat... DO NOT believe in wadever that ur friends tell u... no matter how reliable is the source... u want to believe, fine, but there is no course for worry... cause u would rather choose not to believe wad u see... so no point... further more... the results r already fixed... even if u worry to death, nth will change, y not instead put on a brave front, n be optimistic? hey.. u dun owe cambridge a miserable 3 months ok...

To put it simply, there is nth... absolutely nth that u can do to change ur results now... all u can do is to wait... n y do u want to make this wait miserable? there is no point... might as well enjoy urself fully b4 u get the results... right? thus i conclude, even if the rumours are true, there is no point in worrying..

Stay happy, with a smile...=))

Yeah!! Broke record for 2.4!!

2005-02-17T18:17:00.000+08:00

Hm... today wasn't that bad.. wasn't really that tired... until PE.. so i shall not bore u with the contents of the day n go straight to PE..

Before the start of PE, the sky looks as though it is going to rain... many classmates start to pray for it to rain... like doing the rain dance... lolx.. but when PE actually starts, the clouds r suddenly gone n the sun is out shining on us... then we did some warm-ups n started to run... we had to run 3 rounds ard the teletubby hill(which i found out that total dist is slightly more than 2.4km) under the timing of 16 minutes(gals) n 11.30 minutes(guys)... kinda shocked when i heard the timing... cause my personal best was like 11.57minutes... n to make things worse, those that came back later than the timing, haf to go another round... sigh... so when we finally began(a while after the gals start), i told myself that i had to push if not i would haf to go one more round(which i dun really want to). The run was fantastic... during the run, it is really a test of ur mind n body... i realised that the body would gif up first... and wad keeps me going is my mind... keep telling myself that i cannot stop n muz maintain that speed... when i was at the 2.5 rounds mark... wah this is the time my mind almost collapse... cause i had been running faster than my usual speed since the beginning... n its the last 400m or so... finally, i dunno how, but i reached the final turn to the finish... i started to sprint n ran in with a timing of 11.07 minutes... After the run, we did some skipping, shuttle run, sit ups n push ups before we end the session...

Wah... totally shocked... i broke my personal best record which i held since last year... i had made an improvement of abt 50 seconds... so here i m... feeling both physically n mentally drained after the run... typing this entry...

Hm.. .went for the first ODAC mtg today...

Started off with the teachers in charge telling us abt the cca... showing us the things which they haf planned for us for the rest of the year... n some ice breaking games after that... from all these i realised that i m ganna be a very busy person.... y? cause some times ODAC will take up 2 days of my week n i noe that SC will take at least one... while NPCC will take another... cool huh? well... actually i m thinking of dropping one of them.. perhaps after the first three months if i ever remain in innova.. haha... ok... after the ice breakers was actually a physical training session... went running ard here n there... abt 2 km in total... sigh... wonder how m i ganna survive tml's PE lesson... Some activities of ODAC which really attracted me was night cycling n the bukit timah trek which we will trek from macRicthe(correct spelling) to bukit timah(i think)... ya...

Its not my day today...

2005-02-14T18:46:00.000+08:00

As the tittle suggest, its totally not my day today... sigh...

Firstly.. i began the day feeling very tired because i couldn't fall alseep last night... ok... i think the last time i saw the clock it was already one in the morning... to make things worse, my alarm clock didn't go off... thus i woke up later than usual n rushed to get ready to leave for skool.. ok.. that was in the morning... n because of the lack of sleep, i cannot really concentrate through the lectures... then, in the afternoon, during chem practical, i broke a cornical flask while washing it during titration... omg... this is the first time i break something in the lab because of my clumsiness.. other times were because the aparatus were old... n these r all new ones... sigh... so sad after that... then... on my way home... i thought its finally time for me to take a short eye shut... yes it was... but when i reached jurong east.. i couldn't alight from my train... because some very inconsiderate ppl r blocking the way... they almost pushed me in n made me go all the way back to woodlands... but i decided its time to be nasty n i locked my arms n pushed my way out... thankfully there weren't any senior citizens...

I mean... hey guys.. .wads the hurry? i mean... there is always the next train... besides, everyone wants to go home as much as u do... u think i dun want to go home?? but i mean.. these r basic manners... to make matters worse, u r an adult... yet behaving like a 3 year old hurrying to board the train... kk.. some may say that they r juz standing outside the door... n there is a pathway.. this i believe... cause i haf seen it... but i tell u... wad i saw today is a true blue human wall... sigh... dun wanna talk abt it anymore...

Ok... juz got home.. now gtg n bath n eat... then got to finish up doing the practical today n maths tutorial... sigh...

Yahoo!!! finally... after sitting down for like 2.5 hours, i haf settled my tutorials for good man... the rest of Sunday is now reserved for relaxation... nth but that... lolx

Ok... many ppl say that life in a junior college is very stressful... but in my opinion.. it isn't so... or at least not yet... perhaps the teachers r being kind as it is onli the first three months... but i doubt it... cause the P already said on first day that they start things right.. n they would teach as us though we r staying.. so... its full force... okok.. i muz admit that it is tiring... come on ppl... face it... how can u wake up early n return home late feeling energetic? if u can, plz teach me how... hm... come to think of it... although lots of work is given, but it is possible to finish... n it doesn't cost all ur free time... see? like me... still can be online n type this entry... but of course... i noe that this is onli the beginning... ganna haf project work coming in soon... but if we look at it this way... if we plan our time wisely... whenever we haf got the time along the week, we use it finish up all our work, we would not feel stressed at the end of it as we already done wad we need to submit next week.. .agree? dun need to answer me though... then we can enjoy our weekend with a peaceful mind that nth else is needed to be done... with work out of ur mind, u can really enjoy urself to the fullest...

Ok... thats that for now... wish u all a nice weekend b4 the whole routine starts again next week... :)

Haha... went to marsiling today in the morning to make origami roses for the student council's V day sale... neway... that took the morning... then in the afternoon, i went to hanni's hse to bai nian... thanks for inviting btw...

Ok... basically, all that we did in hanni's hse is to play poker cards n to play majiong... then some of them were playing with cash... well, basically, i haf no right to stop them... n nope... its not wrong at all.. but i do haf some of my own views which i want to share... i believe that it is alright to gamble... i mean.. its a form of relaxation n entertainment... that is if u dun get hooked onto it... but... gambling among friends is something which i discourage... not to say that i even encourage gambling in the first place... i feel that, between friends, money matters shld not come in.. i mean, if a friend is in need of course we can lend out a helping hand... but in this case... some times... during gambling, things may happen to spoil the friendship... of course some ppl would say that it is juz a game... i agree too... onli to a certain extend... it is a game when friends play for the sake of fun... however, if it becomes to be for the sake of money, then i dun think friendship even exist in between.. ya... thats it... so, try not to play with cash when u play with cards n stuff... yea... but if u want to... who's there to say no?

Neway... this marks the end of the festive mood... from tml onwards, its time to finish up all unfinished work so as to be able to hand in next monday...

New Year's Eve n New Year...

2005-02-09T22:21:00.000+08:00

Ok... this is abt how i spent my New Year's Eve and day 1 of the Chinese New Year...

New Year's Eve:
Sigh... went to skool for the skool's CNY celebration... Although the skool planned many activities due to CNY, but onli 2 activities were carried out on the actual day itself... i wun elaborate on the other activites which included mural painting as well as banner making competitions... so the activity that was carried out yesterday was lantern making competition... yes... we were given 1 and a half hours to make a lantern with juz red packets... the process is kinda messy but at least we got out lantern out... we didn't win the competition though... cause many others look as though they bought it from the shops(but of course they didn't)... neway, the other activity was noise making competition... but this one was kinda pathetic... cause everyone was told to prepare for it by bringing things that make noise.. however, not all were given the chance to make the noise... Oh well... can't exactly blame the skool for it... afterall, our own hall is still under construction... n the CCAs like dance or drama are juz starting... i suppose next year's would be better(i hope)...

Went for mr chan n ms liang's birthday lunch at bugis after the activity.. actually its mr chan birthday... but ms liang's is juz 2 days later n so we celebrated both together... we were eating pastamania... its my first time there n so i sort of... ordered the wrong thing.. cause i dun like the sauce... sigh... other than that, the lunch was ok... we also got a cake for the both of them n sang happy birthday song to the both of them... then marvin wanted to smash a piece of cake on mr chan's face... but mr chan said 'put it down' n he sound so serious that i suppose marvin might had been frightened... then we talked a bit here n there n decided to be on our way...

I went home for a while then went out to holland village... where my grandparents(dad's side) lived... cause thats where all my uncles n aunties n cousins would gather for renuion dinner... after the dinner, we played captain's ball n badmintion... it was fun as it had been a long time since we haf gathered together so happily... well.. then we waited until midnight n started to pray to the chinese gods... u noe.. offer the joss sticks n burn paper money... it ended like ard 3 am... then we went home... but my siblings n I did not slp.. .cause its a tradition that the later the children slps, the longer their parents would live... however, in the end, i fell aslp at 0445h in the morning...

The day itself:
Today was quite unevenful... cause slept late n work up late...actually woke up at ard noon... then my family n I went to a temple to pray for the family's well-being in this new year... yea... then went to my grandmother's house(mum's side)... stayed there since the afternoon... the moment i reached i greeted all my relatives n then went on to watch wadever's thats on the television... then i also ate all the New Year goodies thats on the tables... omg.. i eat n eat n eat n eat... well.. i suppose i need the weight... but i would prefer them to be gained in terms of muscles rather than fats... i also received blessings from my relatives as they pass me a red packet... most wishing me good luck in the New Year as well as best wishes in my studies... nth much was done or had happened...

then now here i m typing this entry... its kinda tiring because of slping 'early' this morning... going to bath n slp soon... talking abt my studies... the 'O' Level results are going to be released on the 28th of Febuary... thats wad i heard from my teachers...

Sigh... ganna infected by stupid streptococcus... for those who dunno wad that is... it is a bacteria that causes sore throat... get the idea??

I believe i got this stupid bacteria on friday morning... if not thursday... dunno y or how though... perhaps its the dusty environment in innova... or maybe its the weather... sigh... although my lymphocytes n phagocytes r working 24/7, i suppose they juz got through the defence line... nvm... then i went for NPCC on friday afternoon... then got angry n shouted at ppl.... i suppose that makes it worse.... well.. lets side track a little to wad happened...

The sec 1s were basically quite lovely ppl... got like 32 cadets... small but increasing... well.. juz that they haf been reminded to move fast for weeks... n many times on that day... so i expect them to move at reasonable speed... but it seems they r strolling.. .then i thought... well... they r sec 1s... then when in the classroom.. they r like imitating the ncos... then i was angered.. i thought... this is a good time to teach them basic manners n respect... so i gathered them... quietened them down.. .spoke seriously abt 'mutual respect'... of course ppl still treat me like a 'kuku'... but i juz hope that the msg got through... then they r made to form a circle... 5 cent 10 cent(boy girl boy girl)... oh well... the slow movement... made me angry again... then i still controlled... until this sec 1 boy.. .who refused to move... or at least.. smile n laugh at the ncos when he is told to move... well... that does it.. .it broke through my tolerance level n i shouted 'MOVE'... he stared at me... then moved... but in the process... i think i frightened the other sec 1s... sry abt that... but can't be helped.. .dun want ppl who dun take instructions seriously...

Ok.. back to the day.... well.. after the shout... was coughing like mad... managed to keep it down a little... then until the mtg.. at the end of the day... was coughing every now n then... sigh... then thats friday... dun wanna bore u with the details of the mtgs... then for saturday... i stayed at home the whole day nursing my throat... partly cause parents dun let me go out... actually wanna meet wei jie n zt they all for pool... sry guys... its not exactly my fault... thats how my saturday go by... bored like mad... but hindered by streptococcus... then sunday came... went for qi gong(family activity) in the morning... but still have not fully recovered yet... still coughing... n bad throat... then spent my afternoon playing game n finishing up my tutorials... then watched tv... now online typing this...

Sry for long post but lots of things to say.. so ya... hehe...

Titration again...

2005-01-31T19:07:00.000+08:00

As usual, i m unusually excited today because there is chemistry practical... n as u all might haf guessed, its titration!! this week's one is more exciting...

Last week, we used acids that we already noe the concentration which is already prepared by the lab tech... but today, i made a standard solution myself!!! so excited.. then use it to titrate against sodium hydroxide which we dunno the concentration... the indicator we used was phenolphthalein... wah... was so excited when it turned from colourless to pink in colour!! wah... some more its add the deciding drop of sodium hydroxide from the burette... so excited... the colour is pale pink... pale until cannot pale... but still can see its pink... then.. today also better than last week... cause this time my readings were within 0.1 cm cube of each other... =)))

Neway... basically.. thats abt it today... still kinda excited... lolx...

It has been almost a year

That i have lived without a heart

The wound which u gave me

Still hurts as though it is inflicted yesterday

I do not blame u for anything

Cause it is my own foolishness and stupidity

Everything that i look forward to

Juz vanish into thin air

Every minute of the day

Takes as though years to pass

I am sorry if i brought u unhappiness

Sorry if i had affected ur life

I promise that i wun step into ur life again

But please tell me how m i suppose to carry on

When all that i was living for is gone

NYAA SILVER!!!

2005-01-20T20:04:00.000+08:00

Due to some complains by a certain someone(u noe who u r)... i decided to post today...

Firstly... i received news yesterday that my NYAA Silver had been approved... n that i will receive in april... of course i m also very happy because everyone who submitted got the badge... ok.. thats one thing... another thing is that i haven been exactly that free to blog nowadays... so please forgive me... reason being that i haf many tutorials to complete n stuff to revise... though u guys may see me online, but i m actually doing my tutorials... yea... n usually... i m too tired to blog after that... like for example, today, i haf ran more abt 2.8km for PE lesson... actually we juz went 4 rounds ard this hill we call the 'teletubby hill'(cause it looks like the ones in the show) n one round is ard 700m... if thats not enuff... cher made us do jumping jacks n push ups...

I realised that they things i learn in JC is actually very interesting... although its a lot to understand n remember... but i always tell myself that it is very simple n thus able to remember most of the info... then it is also a lot of workload... many ppl find JC life very stressful... but in my opinion, it isn't... it is juz that skool may end later n its more tiring... but there is definately enuff time for things which u want to do... that is if good time management is in place...

Haiz... very tired liaoz... after all that running... wanna go n rest liaoz.... zZZzzZzZZzzzZZzz....

My time in ntss today is really an eye opener... i see things which r actually not very good... but i suppose it could be due to the long holiday n thus the drill is................. nvm.... but still i cannot expect perfection... cause nth is perfect... but at least near to perfection... hope its not too much??

The very first lecture i had was biology... the lecturer was like a machine gun... n he claims that he is already very slow... i really dun want to try his normal speed... its like 6 pages of lecture notes in less than half an hour... after that is lunch... n followed by a maths lecture... the lecturer speaks in a mono-tone... i almost fell aslp... haiz.. n we were doing sets which is relatively easy... then i haf this one n a half hour break... spent the time reading through biology notes... try n understand wad the lecturer has said... then went for this chemistry lecture... dun understand wad the lecturer is talking abt.. cause she uses the different terms for things... so not really used to the way she speaks... but still managed to sit through the lecture without drifting off... (if i drift off, it means that i dun understand n gif up)... after which is the PE lesson... juz took height n weight... nth much... i haf grown taller by 2 cm to 180 cm now... n i seem to be getting lighter... muz eat more...

okok... the campfire last night marks the end of the one week orientation i had at innova jc... although a slight drizzle come down every now n then, the spirits were not dampen and the fire kept on burning... honestly speaking, the campfire wasn't very nice cause the fire is at the back of everyone... so its like we cannot really see the fire unless we turn 180 degrees... neway... it was fun in terms of new friends standing n singing together... ok... thats the end of the campfire...

regarding my cca, i haf decided to join the outdoor activities club or the ODAC... it seems that there is nth else that attracts me... in ODAC, we do things like kayaking n hikings... it seems that all those that go through NPCC cannot live without the outdoor... as to my subject combination... i got my ideal subjects... bio chem maths gp cl... n my civic tutor happens to be my orientation grp facilitator or OGF... i'll get my time table next monday through my CT... well... in the mean time... juz pray hard that fridays r early days for me... the P says that everyone would haf one or two early days... as early as 1.30pm to 5.30pm... i juz hope for one on friday... n lessons would start at 8am next monday...

Recruitment day n a lesson learnt...

2004-12-30T20:52:00.000+08:00

Today is the 2nd day of the sec 1 orientation as well as the CCA recruitment day... we reached skool at ard 0730h n started to set up our booth, which is the physics lab(morning class by class visit) n the circle of success(afternoon free roaming)...

The things were set up pretty quickly n at ard ten, the circle of success is ready... but after reviewing, a few more things were decided to be added... n all completed at ard 11.30 n we all go for lunch... then at 1230h, everyone was ready in their full uniform... n the cadets were briefed by the NCOs n the uniform were checked... finally, the sec 1s came down n the action began... everyone(i hope) did their part in explaining to the sec 1s abt NPCC... i walked ard taking photos of cadets interacting with the sec 1s... from wad i see, it is quite successful n that we had names taken down... there were also some which were very keen in joining the corps... at the end of the free roaming session, we packed up the place n decreased our booth size to 2 tables... then we went for dinner... at ard 6pm, cadets were dispatched to do road marshalling while others were to stand at the booth n talk to the parents abt NPCC... soon, it all ended n everyone cleared up the place... i was with the cadets doing marshalling... checking n making sure that they r safe as the road is dangerous especially on a night as such...

Well, i haf a learnt a lesson today... from the incident which happened, i realised that everyone have their pride... especially NCOs... i believe that NCOs shldn't be humiliated individually in front of cadets... even if we r angry, we shld at least pull the NCO some where else... if not, we could risk losing NCOs instead of training them to become better ppl... basically, as leaders, we haf to be sensitive of the feelings of our followers...

Once again, we r at the end of the year... I dunno abt u guys, but this has been a very fast year for me... there is hardly any time for me to actually get a full picture of wads going on... perhaps one reason is that this is my 'O' level year... i remember ms wong registering me for the exam in march like it happened 2 days ago n b4 i noe it, i m sitting for the exam which seemed like yesterday...

In this year, i noe that many mistakes were made n things may be done in a way where ppl may not like... but it is all part of the learning porcess where one grow... I have learnt that in everything which i do, i haf to seek the opinions of those which would be affected... so as to ensure that everyone is happy... this would further ensure a successful event...

In this year, i haf also experienced many many things... some happy ones may include things like the festivals, passing my PT test, moulding a batch of newbies n achieving things together as a whole such as the heritage badge... of course when there r happy memories, there would be unhappy memories... such include some conflicts which may occur along the way, having to step down in April n the weakening of strong bonds which we once haf... the first class drill batch was also quite an episode in my life(i threw it in the canal when i got it cause i can't wear it... but i bought a new one when i m starting to pass PT)... these things, good or bad, will remain with me forever... they would be my textbooks of life lessons...

Now with a new year approaching... it is good to be forward looking... however, one muz remember at all times the lessons learnt... so as not to make the same mistake n grow along the way... before i end, i would like to wish everyone a happy new year...

For november, i haf been busy with my 'o's... cause as u all noe, my exam is in november... immediately after it ends, i started to help out n prepare for the skool open hse... after the open hse, i had to help out with the .22 revolver dry pract... basically thats it for november larz... for december, the first week i was at ngee ann poly with this one week course... then second week, which is last week, i started to help out with the recruitment campaign... for this week, the third week, recruitment mtgs on monday n tuesday n thursday... going down to see first class practical on wednesday... then friday sat n sunday is free... but next monday, the last week of december holidays, i haf to do somethings on monday... tuesday, wednesday n thursday r recruitment meetings n the recruitment day itself... then friday may haf a bbq to celebrate or rather welcome the new year... then on sat n sun got to prepare to go back to skool le...

Talking abt school reopening, i haf been sent to innova junior college for the first three months of my jc life... it is located at woodlands, next to the sports skool.... i m not excited abt going there for one thing that puts me off it the travelling time... next, the skool is still under construction... so i wonder how i m suppose to study... neway, wish me all the luck... :)

Chalet at Sentosa!!

2004-12-17T19:29:00.000+08:00

Yeah~!!! i had a wonderful time at sentosa island yesterday for the nco warriors chalet... i met up with wei jie n zi yuan at wei jie's hse to get the drinks ready in the styroform boxes... we also packed everything nicely into 3 boxes... we loaded the stuff onto a taxi n went to harbour front bus interchange to wait for the rest... we waited for abt half an hour n the rest of the nco warriors arrived... we then boarded the bus to sentosa...

Upon arrival at sentosa, we paid for our entry tickets n took the sentosa bus service to our holiday chalet... we then cleaned the chalet n stored our food into the fridge... we then went down to the beach for beach soccer n ended up in the sea instead... we formed a circle n played monkey with a volleyball which i found... n soon, it was time to go up n set the fire for the BBQ at night.... the BBQ ended at ard ten as we all decide to go out by then... we went to Paradiz Plaza to play pool to ard 1.30am... we then returned to sentosa... some of us went to the beach, others started to play majiong, dai dee, black jack n poker... this went on throughout the whole night...

I left at ard 7am as i suddenly had a slight fever... so sorry guys for not helping with the cleaning up... in the end, i believe that we all had a great time at sentosa...

Recruitment meeting...

2004-12-13T22:40:00.000+08:00

I went to skool today for recruitment meeting which starts at noon today... however i reached at ard ten to repair a banner as well as to look up for something in the directive... unfortunately, i couldn't find the directive in the NPCC room... then i waited a while n went for lunch with teck wei... then we got back for the recruitment meeting... the mtg was rather fruitful as i see it... cause at least 90% of the things that r supposed to be done today r done...

After the recruitment meeting today, there is a change in my mindset n attitude i used to haf towards the current batch of NCOs... it is true that they r not very well disciplined n that they r not exactly very efficient as well... but thats the reason for the presence of the TOs, CIs n Is... However, it is also true that they r relatively hardworking...

My CI once told me the reason y he is still doing things for this batch of ppl... n that is he sees the potential of some of them n hope to train them to greater heights... thus i shall also do the same... afterall, the mission of NPCC is to develop cadets into caring n responsible citizens...

Jurong Island!!

Thanks to the one week engineering course in nee ann poly, i got a chance to visit Jurong Island today...

We assembled in skool today at ard nine in the morning n boarded the bus to Jurong Island... upon reaching, we had to surrender our IC for security clearance... we were then given a sticker to paste on our shirts to indicate that we r cleared... the bus drove us ard the island n look at all the companies present on the island... we saw many storage tanks of shapes n sizes on the island... thanks to paying attention in class, i managed to recognised some of the chemical names printed on the tanks... we were then brought to the JTC building to see the chem gallery... we were guilded through the gallery n looked at the things happening in the plants on the island... we also learnt that JTC had kept the place a very nice place so as to attract other foreign investors... all in all, its a very nice place except for the air which contained a smell of petroleum...

The one week course also allowed me to meet new friends n know the polytechnic much better... thanks titus for asking me to go...

Juz got back from skool after the campfire... was actually rather disgusted but i guess i haf high expectations... neway... was supposed to meet at clementi mac at 7pm... in the end only a few turn up.. then some went to skool straight... neway was almost late... lolx...

Looking at the NCOs n the cadets on this very night, brought me back to the days when i was an NCO myself... the days whereby scoldings were endless but now remembered as the learning part of my life... neway, back to tonight... well, although the singing is rather messy... n that the songs weren't continuous... i was kind of hoping that the song leaders would start the next song as soon as the previous one end... oh well, all in all, at least we finish the songs... then came the buffet... the food is ok i guess... this time ordered from outside... not bad... but spent my time with the cadets... talk here talk there... grp after grp... lolx... but still, all good things always come to an end... so we had to leave..

The others all wanted to go out n play... n not return home for the night... however, i had to leave... cause i haf this one week chemical engineering course at Nee Ann Poly starting tml... sianz... monday to friday... 9am to 6pm... so guys, u noe y i can't go out... ya?

I guess it shows...

2004-11-29T18:45:00.000+08:00

It is a very obvious thing, which i sort of looked into further detail recently... especially after today's .22 revolver dry pract... kk... wad i m refering to is actually the behaviour n attitude of the squad i took...

Even when in a squad, those guys r fantastic... they can move n talk n joke n not giving a damn for any person with or without authority... even after being told to do the right thing, the peace onli lasted for a few seconds... their attire is also another problem... but i suppose they dun really care, but how the whole squad look does create an impression in front of other ppl... during the training itself, the kind of behaviour(u haf to see it to believe it) is not acceptable... okok... maybe i m strict... but if u noe which squad i m refering to, u would agree with me...

As i was saying, the root of this problem is that the squad is not properly brought up since sec 1... with such a 'good' TO ard, i suppose its not exactly their fault for their behaviour... afterall, some how it seems that the TO allows it.... i shall not elaborate on further on this side... of course... there r a few good fellers in the squad... but... i suppose that they stand the minority...

Before i end, i would like to encourage those going for their marksman to train up their armpower... remember... it is not juz a badge to beautify ur own uniform, but the percentage of marksman is part of the UOPA as well... even if u dun want the badge, think that it would make it more difficult to prepare ur uniform, then at least, do it for the unit... i thank you for that...

Open House

2004-11-25T22:05:00.000+08:00

Today is NTSS's Open House... as usual... NPCC has to set up a booth to show the parents wad kind of activities NPCC can offer... hope that it helps in their selection of secondary skools later on... lolx...

After i reached home at 8 am from the graduation night, i bathed n ate n went to skool at arounf ten o' clock... upon arrival, i went to check out the booth n was happy to see that things r going well... after i claimed cash from ms ang, i returned to the booth n to my horror, the rifle rack which was supporting 2 air rifles gaf way... in fact, one of the twine snapped n caused the rifles to drop to the ground... thankfully, no damage was done... then the whole rifle rack was removed because it is too loose n can no longer support anything.. worse still, the 2 tripods are opened wrongly... haiz... then took over the booth when cadets go for ACM... so juz stood there... so sianz... haiz... then at around 4pm, we were given the instruction to pack up... n so we packed up the place...

The most disappointing part of the Open House is that i wasn't shown the rifle rack before the actual day... some said i left before it was done... which is nonsense because i left when practically everything was done... i think that all Instructors, CIs n TOs r alive n kicking n visable.... thus it is not possible for them to miss me... thus cadets... Plz lar arhz... ur officers r here to help... so go to them every time u completed ur assignment regardless if u haf a doubt or not... juz let them check n go through... another bad part was that some idiot kicked a soccer ball which hit onto the banner causing on end to break n sewing is needed to repair it...

So as u can read, the Open House is full of nonsense n full of mistakes... I juz hope that cadets would learn something from this n put it into good use in future... Afterall, the mission of NPCC is to Nurture all cadets into careing n responsible citizenz...

Graduation Night

2004-11-25T08:31:00.000+08:00

Yupz... went for my graduation dinner last night... i went to skool in the morning to collect my graduation certificiate n briefing on the admission to JC/CI.... the thing ended at ten plus.... cleared the tables in the hall for the servants... then went down to the canteen to check out on the open hse preparation....

Was damn angry... cause all that supposed to be done r not done at all... even worse, cadets r like not really united... then in the end... the whole thing was in a mess... even i dunno wads going on.. so i gathered everyone... then i dispatched the manpower again... the NCOs made me damn angry.... was twisting the structure which was holding on to the banner... juz because they wanted that spar... well... i was damn angry cause after i asked if there is any label, i was shown a small one which anyone would miss... n they actually dared to blame my cadet when they nvr label bigger... because of them, a lot of time was wasted rebuilding the structure.... but i suppose... i can't expect much from them other than arrogance... the charts were two-third done n i left the rest to matin... hope all going well... going to skool later to check...

right, last night was cool... went there in my long sleeved shirt... lolx... first time lehz... felt a bit weird... but its ok i guess... then after the speeches made by the P, PSG n HP, the buffet began.... the food wasn't that bad... then the games were also quite fun.. although some may be a bit embarassing as some guys need to remove their long sleeved shirt(i had to remove my belt)... neway, there was also the Graduation Night King n Queen.... Justin n Nicole respectively.... after the whole thing, it was photo taking session.... take take take n take until the eyes cannot see... lolx.... we then left n went to swensens to celebrate kenneth's birthday... he was smashed on the face by a cake... lolx...

after that, we walked to marina south from orchard to catch the sun rise... we were there at ard 4am... sianz... waited for like 2 hours before the first light broke out... haha... damn cool... after the sun emerge fully, we went home... so i spent the night out~!!!!

kk... now juz got home... gtg n do other things n go to skool later.... lolx...

The past 2 days....

2004-11-23T14:57:00.000+08:00

Yahoo~! i finished my exams yesterday~!!!! its now time to play.... no larz... lolx... more like work... immediately after my paper end, i went down to the canteen to help out with the open hse...

Basically, there wasn't much order when i arrived... thankfully saw hanni... then we sort of starting making connections n get a clear picture of wad's going on... then started to gif instructions.... in the end hanni was over looking the grp doing the rifle rack... i went to look after the charts... but at the end of the day... sad to say.... the charts r not completed cause of insufficient pictures n not measured correctly yet also... i then went for .22 in the afternoon.... stood for 3 hours... was glad to see the revolvers once again... assisted murni mdm with the cadets... after that afternoon, i realised that the sec 2 squad need a lot of armpower training...

For today, i went to skool at 0700h.... waited til 0730h... then got one person late 2 minutes... haven settle with her yet... anyway, we took 2 cabs down to woodlands secondary skool.... many thanks to zhong teck, marvin n wei jie.... we reach at abt 0800h... then waited for 40 minutes before woodlands NPCC is ready to receive us... during the 3 hour long competition.... the NCOs of woodlands NPCC were behaving as though they r monkeys... playing with the piano in the skool hall.... some more play the same tune over n over again for like 2 hours.... so irritating... want to complain that time their officer then tell them to stop... so stupid... the still make so much noise also... their attire also like..................... neway... we got the 8th position with 328 out of 1000 pieces on the board.... lolx....

Thats a very brief account of wad i haf done in the past 2 days... quite fun n there's more to come.... lolx...

Which way to go?

2004-11-19T13:04:00.000+08:00

the end of the GCE 'O' Level exam is near... in fact, my last paper is on next monday... honestly, i can't wait for the whole exam to end, i m already in the holiday mood...

I am now standing at a junction of life... to be precise.... a T-junction... where by i haf to choose one way... n say goodbye to where i come from, n wad the other road i didn't choose might bring... In front of me, i haf to choose between going to a Junior College or to a Polytechnic... it is not possible for me to go to a ITE... after some serious thinking, i realised y teachers in primary skools keep asking us wad our ambition is... wad we want to do when we grow up... because, after the 'o's, one haf to make a decision on the route to take to fulfil their dreams...

it is a sad thing, when i see that the NCOs r not sure of what they r doing... their body language shows that they r uncertain... worse still, they r teaching the wrong action for the song... i do not know if any of the NCOs r going to read this, but i m not here to reprimand them... juz want to say that perhaps, if they know wad they r ganna teach, n they noe that they r not sure of it, it would be better if they check it out with their officers n practice themselves before they meet the cadets... this would allow them to teach with confidence... n would avoid showing the cadets their 'blur' look... this would create a better impression of them in front of the cadets... right?

neway, now i haf to go n study for the science paper 1 coming up... many say that "MCQ dun need to study larz".... but i beg to differ... cause it is a fact that MCQ stand abt 20% in the whole science paper... i mean, wheather u get ur distinction or not depends on it as well... many fail to see this... juz hope that their daily work is good enuff for them to go through the paper... juz hope that i m in that category whereby i can choose to go to a JC or not... it would be better than onli being able to go to a poly... muz keep both roads open n not to close one before i make a choice...

before i go, i wish the NCOs good luck in organising their annual camp, n my fellow skoolmates good luck for the last paper or the GCE 'O' Level exam...

A Break~!

2004-11-11T18:57:00.000+08:00

after one n a half week of exams, there is finally a break of 5 days... thanks to the festivals that r coming up... so, i decided to go shopping for some long sleeve shirts for the graduation night dinner... in the process, i found out that Singapore is really small...

I went to one of the shopping centres in Clementi and after trying on some shirts n deciding on which colour i want, i looked up n saw one of my friend cum cadet---> Alvin!! lolx... apparently he was going to go n play badminton cause he was carrying his badminton racket(i later found out that there was no free court so he decided to walk ard)... after paying for my stuff, i walked to the Macdonals to buy some snacks... to my surprise, i saw my biology cum form teacher Ms Susan Wong!!! wah~! wad a shock... she saw me also n walked over n asked my abt the bio paper.... lets fast forward now........... then as i finished my snack at Macdonals, i saw some ppl suddenly appear in front of me... they include my friend cum cadet---> Jimmy n Shu Yi... wad a lot of unexpected meetings today... juz when i thought it is enuff, i walked face to face onto my english teacher Mr Tay Yong Lai....

that was the last shock of the day... Clementi is a dangerous place to be.... u can see lots of ppl unexpectedly.... its quite fun too to haf such meetings happen once in a while...

The GCE 'O' Level Exam...

2004-11-06T13:45:00.000+08:00

The General Certificate of Education Ordinary Level Examinations, or the 'O' lvl is here... it has been 5 days since the start of the whole examination which would end on the 22nd for me...

i find that the papers r relatively easier compared to those set by the school... i mean, its neither too difficult, nor issit easy at all.... however, there is a catch when the paper is easy - it is harder to score.... imagine, u r not the onli person who would find the paper easy... i mean, the whole cohort of students taking the exam would find it that way too... so like if everyone scores abt 90%, they cannot gif eveeyone an A1... so those scoring like 75%, would not see the distinction.... they would draw a cumulative frequency graph to decide where the distinction mark is.... so.... all that u can do is to do ur best, for a higher chance to get into the distinction catrgory....

actually, i am happy that the 'o' lvl exam is here.... for after this, its lots of time for play.... during the paper, i realised the meaning of wad they say "a pen decides ur future" or in chinese, "一笔定江山"... for it is the pen that decides ur grade... meaning, wad u write on the answer booklet.... n u decide wad u want to write.... it is really a scary experience for any mistake, no matter how small, would in the end destroy you...

so far, i haf cleared all languages, half humanitites n half maths.... n one science paper... next week, all the sciences n emaths would be cleared..... so i shall end here.....

My thoughts...

2004-10-31T10:35:00.000+08:00

haha... despite my tight studying schedule, i figured that i would eventually fall sick from studying... received a phone call from my friend to go SHO, after thinking that i want to sweat, i agreed to cycle there with him...

upon reaching there, we started to build a basha (shelter) to shield us from the bright sun... after gathering all our resources like ponchos n vines(to use as ropes), we picked a spot n started to build. after a while, it is finally completed.... however, it started to rain when we finished... thus the multipurpose basha is now a rain shelter instead of a sun shelter... as we sat under the basha n watch the rain, it reminded me of my adventure training camp in pulau ubin last year september....

NPCC really changed my life. from the day i signed the cadet service sheet, i noe i m in for a lot of tiring activities n my time would be used up faster than ever... after serving for a while in the corps, i realised that it is where i belong, for its here i meet ppl, n share my laughter, my joy, my tears, my failure, basically everything... it is the unit that make me wad i m today... it is the unit that taught me all my skills, nurtured my leadership qualities n bring my potential out of me... honestly, i would still choose NPCC as my CCA even if i am given thousands of chances to choose again... now that i haf left the unit, but the memories would stay with me, n would always be on my mind n remembered as though it happened yesterday...

so as i was saying, we stayed under the basha until the rained stopped... in the mean time we juz sat n thought of the precious memories that would live forever in out hearts...

Wad i realised...

2004-10-27T19:02:00.000+08:00

as the tittle suggest, i shall now share with u wad i had realised.... i realsied the difference between a child crying, n that to an adult crying...

reasons that children cry are as follows:
1) their parents refuse to buy them wad they want
2) they fell down
3) over icidents like 'he took my eraser!!"
4) they lost something
5) any other childish things

As we can see from above, the reasons y a child cry, is not the reasons y adults cry.... n the reasons y adults cryis as follows:
1) a family member or someone impt to them is missing
2) when someone they love walk out of their life
3) when their children walk r rebellious
4) that they haf made a mistake n realised it too late
5) any other reasons that may fit in

these r wad i realised... though u may haf realised it before me, but it doesn't matter....

2004-10-13T19:45:00.000+08:00

how? now how? i got back all my papers for the prlims... EL - C5, MT - B4, EM - B4, AM - B4, Pure Bio - B3, Science(phy/chem) - B3, Humanisites - C6 and a L1R5 of 25 points, i dun think i can go anywhere at all...

it seems that for the first three months next year, i would be either slacking, or finding a job to do... however, to my results this prelims, there r improvements.... for example amaths, improved from F9 to B4... which is actually the onli course to be happy...

haiz... however, the final goal is still the 'o' lvls n my aim is to get a L1 R5 of 18... hope to be in the situation whereby i can choose not to go JC n not because i cannot go JC... noe wad i mean? good luck to me then... lolx... n to those taking the 'o's as well...

Its so messy!!!

2004-09-10T10:31:00.000+08:00

sorry dear readers for the late update of my blog... but i haf been so busy recently that i cannot even find time to study... Let me tell u abt it...

ok... i live in a HDB flat... so meaning that i m living above ppl n ppl r living above me... a new neighbour moved in recently n was renovating his new home... he complained that water was leaking from my flat down to his... so HDB came to look n said that HDB would solve the problem but we haf to slpit the cost... of course we agreed... so in the past few days... i haf been kept at home to acompany my mother during the day because of strangers moving in n out of the house everyday... on tuesday, the first day, they removed the flooring of my toilet n bathroom... wednesday... they settled the pipes.... today, wednesday, they placed the toilet bowl in place n cement the floor as well... tml, the last day, they would put the tiles on n get lost... so for the past three days + tml, i shall haf to be stucked at home... haiz...

right... for the first time these few days, i finally got to go out of the house this morning... i went to skool to take a 'o' lvl amaths specimen paper... n guess wad? this paper really gaf me some confidence in passing my 'o' lvl amaths... i practically know how to do every single question on the paper.. those that i dunno r those that i got stuck half way...anyway.. it was onli a short while... after which i muz rush home to acompany my mother...

right... i gtg n clean up the mess created the workers... haiz...

2004-09-05T13:24:00.000+08:00

Juz this morning, i looked at the calender for no apparent reason... then i realise that i m onli abt 8 weeks away from November 1st.. the start of my 'o' levels... n my prlim is juz the first week of term 4... how prepared m i? i m sad to say that i haf not even started... it seems that 10 years of education all boils up to this point... would your time be wasted? or r they wisely used? right, enuff of this... i m sure my friends do not wish to be reminded of this fact...

the 'o' level biology paper which i took on friday was more or less a challenge for me to see how 'o' level papers r set... to my surprise, i found it relatively easy... i was able to handle the questions but there is something i cannot deny.. i m prone to leave out facts... thus i m hopeing that all would go well... the onli question which i cannot answer would be the question on genes... reason being i did not study that part...

the weather today made it impossible to study... its so warm n makes it hard to concentrate... and so... i decided to take a day off... afterall, its SUNDAY!!! guess i'll juz spend my time lieing ard... although next week is the Spetember holidays, but i still haf to return to skool for science practical... chemistry practical to be exact...

Damn bored now... wad to do?

yoz... hi ppl... how's life? anyway, mine isn't exactly fantastic...

the attendance of my class is only 26 out of the total of 42... meaning only slightly more than half the class arrived for lesson... but nth much was done during lessons nowadays... we haf practically finished our syllables for the 'o' level exams... so now all we r doing is revision during sciences and practising during mathematics periods... the 'o' lvl science practical starts somewhere towards the end of October... then the written papers start on November 1st... meaning no much time liaoz... onli a few weeks left.. prelims immediately after september holiday some more...

wad the skool is doing now is to buy June papers for us to take as mock examination papers... for us to see where we really stand... for tml, i will be taking the biology mock paper... this is the nightmare for my biology teacher accepts nth less than perfection... i only hope that i can meet up to her expectations... and i juz got home from studying in skool...

finally, i'll be taking back my PPR tml as well.. its my report card for those who dunno wad it is... i juz hope that my results would be enuff to satisfy my parents... I believe thats abt it n i gtg n study again...

i returned to my primary school with eunice n hui wen as they r from the same primary school... i met my primary school friends there as well... as the school has juz rebuilt, i had a hard time navigating myself through the school... after a 15 minute search, we finally located my teacher in class... he signalled to us to wait for him n he'll talk to us later as he is hafing lesson... on the way back to the general office, i met my chinese teacher which i haf not seen for 3 years... every time i go back she is always not ard... i m so glad to meet her... n guess wad?!?!?! she remembers my name!!! i was so excited... right, then i met up with the teacher i was refering to juz now... however, he was surrounded by his other batches of students.. so i did not really talked to him... so i decided to go back another day to look for him...
