Its been long since i've penned down a coherent sentence,much less a proper essay...felt the creative juices flowing(which hasn't happened for a long long time)..thus this entry.
well,i've just passed out from sispec..got my corporal rank after an overnight 28km route march..wasn't as easy as it seemed..i realised that i've been smiling alot less ever since i graduated from JC...maybe its the regimentation of national service,maybe its the realisation of the fact that i am grown up now..i have a duty and responsibility to take care of my loved ones..I feel both apprehension,fear and anticipation..rather ironical..but that's my character i guess..everchanging and fickle.Drives Ms lee mad most times..haha..now and then i try to enjoy,relax, simply basking in the fun of the moment..time in which i can listen to my songs lying on the bed,having a good night's rest and a good book..most recently Tuesdays with Morrie..the book taught me alot about life,how to love people around you.I took notes even..truly an enjoyment to read.But then reality isn't always as smooth-sailing..in fact i am still trying hard to learn,to be a better person.My posting orders were to signals,a seemingly slack vocation with less physical training..a sigh of relief i guess..but also gone is the pride of being a specialist that really walk the ground,motivating his men,doing all the shit we did together in bslc.tears flowed when we bidded farewell to each other yesterday,its a wonder how tough training bonds people together..i remember Hendric's saying "what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger" how true it is.
speaking of Hendric reminds me of Odac in Aj, i hope everyone is doing fine now...been through alot of shit with them too,both physical and mentally..haha..thanks to a great man who had his own principles and led by example,Mr Lim.Basically everyone went on different paths upon graduation.Some went overseas for their education,some proceed to serve the nation,some continue their local studies.hmm..lets see what i can come out for them..great bunch of people..
Hendric-The very first epitome of a great leader i've seen,someone who really ensures and cares for others..a guy which i respect.
Elaine-A motherly figure who is willing to sacrifice herself for the good of others,a very sentimental person..always concerned,always there to lend a hand...
Shinghuay-my buddy! likes to let her mind wander..but another kind and generous soul..always sensitive to feelings of others and helpful..a great person who constantly puts others above herself..a tough person who can overcome all obstacles.
Anisah-a quiet person..but to me she was the brains of Odac during our batch..always the one with well thought-out ideas and solutions..Odac wouldn't be the same without her.
Wingsing-a selfless person who really sticks to his principles..a fiery person with great passion for things he is passionate about...a generous soul with loads to offer to people around him
Shiqi-the fastest female sprinter in odac,always giving,a sentimental person who is not shy to show her true self,likes to offer others food...a person which made our batch more colourful..haha..
Jason-The master thinker of Odac,always articulate and clear-minded,someone who's advice i always trust.Always a great friend to have,but has evident gemini characteristics..haha,but a great man
Spencer-the quiet all-rounder,always the one to look out for details, an extremely careful person, damn smart and the lady's man in Odac.A guy that really runs like the wind,the tireless fella that learns really fast.
Ying Guang-An old time friend since days in Vs,the backbone of Odac if i would believe,an extremely strong pillar of support,someone who's always outstanding.Strong both physically and mentally,a guy whos true to himself and others.
Joseph-the smooth talker, a very steady person who knows what he wants from life,someone who always lightens up the atmosphere with his mere presence.Also a very smart guy with great fitness..another person who made life in Odac much more exciting.
Jonathan- the scholar of the batch, extremely smart and extremely pro in soccer..haha..very humble guy who never cease to lend a helping hand to those in need..a great guitar player too!
Yanlin- the dynamo behind Odac, someone who works hard and plays harder..good in almost everything she is interested in, a brash person that is extremely honest,a typical female whom i vision to be as good,if not better than her male counterparts.
Shujuan!the sunshine.With a sunny disposition, she never fails to put a smile to any person's face she meets.An extremely analytical mind lies within her seemingly bigger than normal head,which explains her uncanny talent for mathematics.happily attached to WL,my great buddy.
Shawn-the talented learner, someone who can pick up things exremely fast and extremely well,someone who nver cease to impress me since the first day we met.Also the most humble person i have met.Also a very good teacher with an extremely good temper.
Huiling- the artist in Odac, truly one endowed with great artistical skills..she is also the most hardworking person i have ever met..has the ultimate ability to separate her mind from her body,thus acheiving feats like sleeping while standing and pushing on trekking even though her body's capabilities are spent and her only way of moving is through crawling.
Well,thats about it.My 21st Batch of fellow Odac instructors.Just a brief introduction.I learnt so much from all of them.Everyone was sincere,trusting and nobody complained during times of crazy shit.Its no wonder we are the best :D
well,time to stop cause i have to go to satay club to meet up with my sispec mates now..another great bunch of people.I feel lucky to have met so many people- Odacians,my 3 great buddies,Ms Lee,Sispec mates.One day i shall write about all of them..

POP lo! with that i ended my 9 weeks in bmt..the supposed most relaxed training phase in my whole ns life...maintained a really low profile for these 9 weeks..to the extent that most commanders didnt know my name..lol..only my section commander and pc knew..quite grateful to them for tt..the 9 weeks was fine..managed to steer clear of trouble for the whole period of time,quite proud of tt :D Didnt tio guard duty also!shiok.hahz..lest for a few sprains and wounds here and there,i felt a little stronger..learnt to appreciate loads of things in life- my parents,miss sin yan,brother,sister,my bed,my blanket..almost everything..block leave came and its going to be over soon in 2 days!!SIAN!
got posted to SISPEC(school of infantry specialist),but then they had another name for it...suffer in silence plus endless confinement..*shudders* hope its not all that bad man...heard tt 1st 3 weeks keep running and running..then after tt all outfield..hai..kinda hated outfield in bmt even though the stars were beautiful...Don't think i will get to enjoy beautiful stars now already coz sispec is in mainland..well..as they say, be a man and suck it up.lolz.

again it's been such a long time since i"ve blogged...well..i wouldnt have touched this blog again if not for yanlin's reminder 4 me to keep blogging so that she'll know what all we've been doing...haha..so give yanlin face man...
anyway yanlin's of for Australia for her overseas education..on PM scholarship (papamama) haha...and huiling also..to New Zealand...many ppl feel envious..but i feel that it will be a challenging trip for them this time round..all alone with so many things to adapt to...the fortunate thing is...technology!! can always catch up with frens and family online..so easy nowadays..and another lucky thing is that they are odac girls..most known for being strong :) so they should be heading for greener pastures...
just started my apprenticeship in my uncle's computer shop..working for him without drawing salary..but picking up computer skills along the way..even though it's not really a bed of roses..i felt at ease,and enriched by all e knowledge my uncle and uncle's wife imparted...very greatful :)
just realised how naive and immature i had been...these previous few months had taught me that there's more to life than what i use to think it encompasses..now is the time to spend more time and effort on learning skills and improving myself while i have the chance..maybe some things shouldn't take up such an important role in my life now...thanks to that special someone for the reminder :)
my brother is getting married soon!! 11 MArch Furama...its going to be such an exciting affair...really looking forward to it...but quite sad too..coz bro going to move out liao..then i'll be sleeping alone..but then i pity my sis more..coz i'll be enlisting soon..and she'll really be by herself man..poor girl
how i wish everything could be back to how it was,but even if my wish came true,would it be better for us?is this just a learning journey?i'll accept everything that's coming my way, and pray that the rain ends soon,and the rainbow come shining

Wow..its been so long since i've updated this blog..decided to update tonight :) how many months...i think 3 months have passed since the A's...dont know if i'll do well but just let fate decide..lol..everyone has since scattered and gone on with their individual lifes..some work,some volunteer,some go learn driving,some go holidays,some go Ns already...sigh..wish i can enlist in Jan...then don't have to work and spend so much time idling away..lol...
humans are weird..when we were so busy we wish we got as much free time as possible to do things we want..yet when we finally have the free time we want,we rather have the busy,yet enriching life that we had..
i finally started working..as a small sony redemption salesboy..working life is sian man...long hours..but my job is pretty slack..donno if its good or not..haha..pretty much swatting flies most of the time..wish i enlisted in January..
