Second day of the Band NCO Camp. I guess it is really tiring going for training in the morning and school in the aftnoon. Totally shag out. Keep on wanting to fall asleep during practical and lecture just now.

Now my gums hurt. Just now when I was eating, I felt something hard when I was bitting. So I thought it was nothing and bite onto it. The whole thing poke straight into my gums, super pain. After I used my hand to take it out, it was a about 0.5cm screw. I can't believe that it just poke into my gums. Now feel a bit weird, like got one hole down there. But I cannot do anything about it also, just have to leave it. Just have to bear with the pain for the next few days.

Just watched "Where got Ghost?". I won't say that it is a must watch show cause it isn't really that fantastic. The stories were a bit short and stories isn't very good also.

This is the start of the third week of school. I don't know whether time is passing fast or slow, but I only have roughly about 6 weeks to the start of my next holiday. I can't wait for holidays to come, there are quite a few things to look forward to.

The first 2 weeks of school was rather boring. Can adapt to school life quite fast but the lecturers are just not as cooperative as last semester. I think it is going to be a not fun semester this time round. Lecturers are super slow in whatever they are teaching and cannot really understand them. Though I still like the lesser papers to take for the coming examinations this time.

Today was the start of 35th Band NCO Camp, went there as a trainer. I feel that the trainees were actually quite good with their drills but they are just playful. I need to think of a way to make them more motivated in what they do. I guess I wasn't stern even with them just now. We will see how things go for the next 4 days.

Quite a lot of things lined up from the end of November to December. Really looking forward to them. Long time never spend so much time playing already. Hope everyone can take the December period to relax and enjoy themselves from the stressful year.

Ending of holidays. Kinda of feeling happy but also quite sian that school is starting.

Quite a boring holiday I would say. Didn't achieve much for the whole 6 weeks. Camps after camps, work day after work day. Then when I have the free time to do stuff that I want, I don't know what to do. Am I stupid or what?

Went for OCS Experiential Camp last week. Got to sort of got to feel the daily routine of the officer trainees. Quite tiring days they have there. Imagine having to go through it for 9 months. Now i'm contemplating wheather I should aim for it. I guess there will also be other factors which will cause not to be able to get there, even if I want to.

Timetable for next semester came out last week. I didn't notice I got a change of class until I compare it with my classmate's. After all the calling and stuff, the department thought that because I took the vaction paper so i'm dropping the module. Then they change my class. I think they should be more professional about it. Just because people took the vacation paper does not mean they are dropping that particular module. And moreover it is my Diploma-Plus module.

And I also registered for my GEMS. I didn't know what I should take, so I followed my classmates. Finaicial Management for Engineers. Sounds like some cheem stuff, don't know what is it going to be. And deciding to follow them, but didn't got the same class. Cause I registered late, all the slots for that particular class had been taken up. So I guess I will be alone bah, no problem with me.

A few more events and the year will be over. For NCC, I will be attending the 35th Band NCO camp as a trainer and most likely that will be all. Choir will have a few events coming up. But thinking of some of it, I already become sian. Maybe not everybody will understand how people feel bah. Opinions are voiced out, suggestions are more or less given but still, the disappointment. There are still some events which i'm looking forward though.

1 more day to the start of a new semester. Looking forward to it? Just have to endure another 8 weeks to my next holiday.

Went for make up paper for Math in the morning. Paper was easier than I expected? Haha. Although there are still quite a number of questions which I don't really understand how to do, but I guess passing isn't a problem.

After that got the Director's signature for my OCS Experiential Camp form from SMAE office. Stupid sia, luckily he is there. If not, I don't know got to wait until when then can get my form back. I told the lady, anybody can just sign but she tell me cannot. Need the Director to approve. Like if he never come in, then I don't need to get it sign liao lor. LOL.

Was running about the whole day lah. Went back to Montfort to get the same form and my parade claim signed. And yes, getting papers sign again. Just to get money, I need to like go everywhere to get papers sign. Then took a bus down to HQ. Spent some time there, helping Mdm Gurdip with some stuff. After that left for home.

I can't wait for my birthday!! The wait is really killing me. Just now, I took about 3 hours to get everything I needed and hand it in. If I had driving licence, it would have only taken my 30 minutes. Look at the difference. The car is just parked at the carpark downstairs and I can't use it. Really cannot take it man. My mum still tell me: "You got no licence. If not you could have taken the car downstairs." Shit.

Anyway, work started this week. I think I will just have go through this 4 weeks knowing that it sucks lah. I'm going through it only because of the money. If not, I wouldn't willingly spend my time sitting in the warehourse/office, doing almost nothing or doing packing in the warehouse. Not that I don't want to help out, but I just feel like something is wrong. I don't know how to describe the feeling. 4 weeks lah, still got 3 more to go. Must ren!!

Time for my update. I think the blog is dying soon. I don't know what to write in here also.

Since the start of holidays, I have been very busy. From last week, I had Specialist Course in SISPEC. Then this whole week which has just passed, I was in HQ. 2 days of Camp FORGE, 2 days of Camp STEEL and 1 day of IMT. Imagine the time I spend for NCC. But I guess, all these is worth it. There are a lot of experience which I gain from all these camps. From doing logistics to administration to even on the ground training. It really increases my knowledge on stuff which I don't really know last time.

Hmm, maybe I would say a few lines about the course and camps which I had just went. Specialist course was quite a cock up in the beginning. We were stuck outside the guard house for in-processing for almost 2 hours. And therefore the delay of all our activities. There was also a change of plans, where all the 4 districts which was there combined into 1 course. This cause quite a problem for training side as our training plan kept on changing. I didn't interact much with the cadets as I was doing admin all the way. In the end, I would say that the course was overall a success, cause we managed to pull through it with only 6 trainers.

Camp FORGE and STEEL was quite well done, I would say. Didn't really have a lot of major problems, only a few minor ones here and there. Did admin and logistics for the first camp and training as 2IC for the second camp. So in short, I served almost all the roles available in a camp in 4 days. The trainers were all tired, cause of the continuous camp for 4 days. But we all still managed to pull through when we encourage one another on for the whole duration. I sincerely thank all the trainers who willingly gave up their time to help make the whole of the 2 weeks a success.

There won't be anymore activities that I will be going until quite some time later. Going to start working this coming week already. Need cash badly. Thinking of my school fees, coming driving and everything else. Really broke to the core. My whole of the next 4 weeks will be work and work only. Sian.

Finally decided to sit down and blog. It has really been a long time since I touch blogger. Cause it seems to be giving me problem, cannot load this blogging page properly. Only yesterday I found out from Laoren that it is because the java script or something like that is the one causing it. So need to press Ctrl-F5 to reload it again. Haha.

Many days have passed. The last time I blog was like 20 days ago? I guess like always, I won't be able to remember every detail that happened throughout this 20 days, but I will try my best to recall them as much as I can.

National Day that week, I was like celebrating birthdays for 3 consecutive days. Haha. First was Vivian's birthday. That one was quite an impromtu decision to celebrate it. First, I met up with Sel on Friday, thinking of what to get Jeremy for his birthday on Saturday. Then she says that she got to celebrate Vivian's birthday also. So we also went to look for her present. While thinking of what to get her, she just ask if I would be able to join and go to Vivian's house to celebrate. Haha. Like so random. But it is so like her lor. LOL. We called Vivian and she said it was alright. So we went. Sel drove us there, cause she was able to get hold of her dad's vehicle. I think it was rather "unsafe" taking her vehicle? Haha. Just joking. I think she just needs more practice thats all. We played bridge and talked at Vivian's house until roughly 1am, then we headed back home.

The next day, which was Saturday, afternoon went to Sengkang gym to train. Cause I asked for a personal trainer, then my mum said that her trainer for aerobics offers to help me on Saturdays cause she is working as a FI at Sengkang gym. So now, I will try to make it a point to go to gym on Saturdays also. After the first training with her, I realised that a lot of the exercises which I always use to train is wrong. Not that the exercise is wrong, but it is the form. I think I can only blame myself for not putting in the effort to find out more when I started off. But that day was really a killer for me. After learning all the correct form, even lighter weights I also got problem carrying. Haha.

After that, evening time met up with Sel and Jason to go for Jeremy's birthday party. It was at Serangoon Gardens Country Club. Sel's father sent us there, cause we thought we were almost late? But when we reach there, seems like everyone is still eating. So we also sat down and eat lor. It was steamboat lah, usually stuff. After that, SJB went to a room which was suppose to be the room where his party was held, but then it was too small. And we thought people will be going there after their meals, in the end, we were alone inside for almost 30 minutes before Jeremy called us to go to the Karaoke room. Sang afew songs inside, cut cake, then went home already. This time is my parents send us back. Haha.

Then Sunday (which was National Day), I couldn't remember what exactly happended during church in the morning. But I guess it was just the usual stuff lah, mass, practice, 401 then go home. Haha. I went home after church and slept till late afternoon before going out to celebrate Jeffrey and Ming Hui's birthday. I was so angry when I reached the train station. I was told and reminded that I must reach Cityhall station by 4pm. So as usual, I know that they will be late, I left my house only at 3.45pm. I reach Hougang station around 4pm. So I just decided to call the rest to see where are they, and the reply I got was, "Oh, you want to come find us? Jeffrey is still playing dota." I tell you, I was so angry at that time, I almost wanted to go home. But luckily I saw Derry, then I went to Cityhall with him. I think sometimes it is a bit too much. Late until like that, still can tell me someone is playing game. This is something I totally cannot accept. If you tell me that you are going to be late, I will still wait. But you don't say anything and expect people to ask and wait, I think it is totally off me. Friends can be friends, but I think this kind of thing is mutual respect for each other.

We went on with the plans. Went for dinner at Waruku which costs us $466.33 for 16 people. Almost wanted to stay back and wash plates for them already. Haha. We ordered like nobody's business, I think we ordered like almost all the most expensive dishes. LOL. After that, we went to soemwhere outside Marina Square to watch the fireworks. I think I will never ever go and watch fireworks again. So many people squeezing there and cannot really see also. After watching, we went to Eski Bar to chill cause the weather was really crazy. Sat there for awhile, then we went around Clarke Quay and Boat Quay to chill. Walk all over the place and see things which I think some of us never see before; the night life. After that, we seperated into 3 cabs to go home. For mine cab, we sent Yihui home first, then Ah Neo and me went back to Hougang. I reached home roughly about 4am. Then the next morning was the latest that I ever woke up, at 12.30pm.

The rest of that week, didn't have much things which happen. The only two things which happened was the CRS and ONOW presentation. Both were rather fast and easy to pull through. My ONOW presentation, I was like crapping the whole time through, didn't prepare anything at all and all my answers from the floor were thought of on the spot. Haha. But for CRS, although it was rather easy, there was a bit of problem with the answering-questions-from-the-floor part. Our group was asked like the most questions out of the 4 presenting groups lah. But rather interesting I would say.

The Monday that just passed, met Sel for supper, was at her house downstairs MacDonalds slacking. Checked the amount of money needed to take driving at the end of the year. Seems like it is a quite big amount. I calculated, if I pass everything on first try, it will take me a bit more that 1.9k which I think is quite a lot. Talk to her about all the random stuff and we started singing songs. Haha. After that I went home cause next day still got to go to school.

Yesterday, went to gym in the morning with Sel then kBox with Laoren and Daryl. Really had lots of fun. Haha. The screaming and shouting inside the room, can be heard from the toilet. LOL. Sang quite a few songs, some I also never hear before de. Haha. Can learn new songs and also can learn chinese!! After that, went to the coffeeshop downstairs to chit-chat. Talked about a lot of things lah, I think this kind of gathering is the best. Not too many people, then we all can share our own opinions on stuff. Haha.

Back from my long long break again. Haha. I always wanted to blog every now and then but something is just stopping me from it. It is like, everytime I on my laptop, I got this urge to want to write something but I just am too lazy to open up the browser to type it down. So here I am now, after sort of ‘forcing’ myself here. Haha.

I finish all my MST already and the next coming up is Semester Test. Sort of looking forward to it but not because I like taking test, but it is the 6 weeks vacation we have after the 2 weeks of test. LOL. Throughout the whole 2 weeks which I didn’t blog, nothing special really happened. But there were some main events which I could mention.

I finally cleared my CRS MST and ONOW debate.CRS MST was quite tiring. Now I understand that the laptop has made us very lazy in writing. Cause the whole CRS MST, we got to write an argumentative essay. So we all thought it was quite easy but then, when we started to write, we found out that it was really tiring. We were all so use to just typing on the laptop. Haha. But in the end, we all still managed to finish everything lah. And for the debate, I asked for it to be postponed cause my group was only left with 2 points to debate. We started off with 5 points, the as time pass by, I found out that 2 points were not really appropriate for the debate, so I took them out. Then 5 minutes before the whole thing started, I took out another 1 point, because I reread it again, and it also didn’t make sense to me. So I asked for it to be postpone and luckily teacher and the opposing group agreed.

On the 19th July, celebrated my grandfather’s 70th Birthday. It was at the function room at my uncle’s condo. I went over to help set up a little after mass in the morning. The whole celebration lasted from morning till about early afternoon. The buffet that we catered, we thought wasn’t even at the start, but towards the end, there were so much leftovers. Everyone got to like packed a few packet of food home. Haha. The celebration was a success and my grandfather was quite happy. Everything that we did, was all for my grandfather. As long as he is happy, we all will be willing to do anything for him. Haha.

The whole of the week was as per normal, going and coming back from school. Super boring I can tell you. I really can’t wait to get my driving license so that I can drive to school. The morning rush for the train is really a killer man. LOL. Had Electrical Technology practical test on Monday and C Programming practical test on Friday. I think both test were fairly easy. But for the Monday’s test, I sort of screw up for my connecting of circuit. I missed 1 whole resistor lah. When teacher was checking, I was like, WTH!! I TOTALLY MISSED IT. No choice, because of that, minus 3 marks. But the calculation part, I was like confident. C Programming was easier than the tutorials that we did in class. I could have finished it in 30 minutes, but because I missed a ‘=’, that cause me to recheck my whole program for 15 minutes. So wasted my time can. But after knowing my mistakes, the whole test just ended quite fast.

This week, except for the debate, everything was as per normal. Nothing much happened. Was really sleepy for the whole week, don’t know due to what. Even after sleeping early at night, it still did not really help much. So I actually fell asleep in a few classes during the week. LOL. Although it wasn’t what I wanted, but I really could take it lah. My eyes could not keep open during the lectures.

Yesterday went for a very simplified taking over ceremony in Montfort. The whole thing was like so impromptu and I got to help them do the ‘parade’ and stuff. Their drills really could not make it. I don’t even know where should I start to help them. But now after taking over, more responsibilities are on their shoulders and I hope they will be able to carry and perform what they are asked to do. After training, the teachers treated them to Pizza Hut and asked me to join. So an offer has been made to me, why not just go? Haha. Of cause I went, and we even ate till we could not walk. LOL.
