Hello again!!

Well.. its been long since I've blogged.. its NOT that I dun want to blog.. but there is always a few problems which i can't solve until today!! and even juz now, I spend like 3-4 hrs figuring out wat is the problem.. and then I realise the problem isn't wat I think.. anyway, its a long story..

but since I've missed like 3 wks of updating, I'll juz update you all briefly wat happen during these 3 wks!!

Well.. as usual, the wkends are the BEST of each week, becos' I get to come home and use computer..

well.. the past few wks are filled with route marches (4km)-> u may think this is easy?? you come and take over me and u koe y.. the bag i'm carrying with the rifle, etc is so darn heavy.. and you have to walk 4km.. its torturing!! for all you koe, there is 2 consecutive route marches starting this mon (one on mon [28/9] nite, and the other on tues [29/9] morning).. haiz..

then there are other struggles too!! The other one is the SOC (Standard Obstacle Course).. for those of you who are familiar with it, the first lesson was last wk, and I totally demoralised (even my platoon commander say me until i like so useless).. becos' I'm the ONLY one in my platoon who CAN'T pass the all the first 5 stations.. but sumhow when I did it on fri (24/9)- the 2nd lesson, i can pass 3 of them.. well.. u dun koe how happy i am.. =).. so the particular station where my platoon commander scold me was the "low wall station".. on fri (24/9), i was like getting ready to go.. my platoon commander almost want to help me up when I went up myself juz like tat.. and he exclaimed that this is his greatest achievement!! It must be God's doing, becos' before I did my SOC, i prayed!! so prayer works huh.. =)

well.. today (sat-25/9) juz attended my church anniversary.. its great time bonding with my church friends (esp. alvin and joshua whom I had NOT seen for so long..) well.. for pics, pls. see the appropriate link at the side ya.. =)

Oh.. did I mention tat I got a CANON Powershot A400 Digital Camera?? yep.. I bought this camera with my NS pay.. and im so happy!! I'm now like trigger happy.. well.. if you want to koe the price, its $360 (includes a 128mb SD memory card, the camera set and the camera casing).. quite reasonable hor.. =)

well.. tml(sun-26/9) nite bk-in quite late.. its about 9+pm.. shiok rite.. so tml my family going out as no church tml.. =)

k.. gtg and upload the photos soon and sleep liaoz.. its late..

I've booked out!!

Hi ppl !! I'm back! I guessed you are more than happy right *thick skin*..

Well.. I've my head shaved botak.. haiz.. and I've slim down a bit (but weight still remain the same.. not sure whether its more muscle.. it cld be the case, becos' muscle is 2x heavier than fat..) ok.. watever!!

Anyway, it has been 16 days staying in tekong.. its not an ez 16 days though.. our bedtime is 10.30pm and waking up is 5.30am (but i wake up at 5am to prepare myself and stuff becos' need to fall in at 5.45am).. then we do the 5 basic exercises (they call it 5BX).. quite tiring.. do exercises like jumping jacks, burpees, push-ups, crutches and running (but for the last 16 days, we did NOT do any running)..

Then b4 every lunch, they force us to do chin-ups.. which until now, i still have no strength to pull myself up.. haiz.. =(

Oh.. btw, for your info (some of you may be interested), here are my details of my NS platoon and stuff..

School: BMTC School 2
Company: Viper
Platoon: 3
Section: 2
Bed: 11

"4D" number in NS: V3211

which is so coincidentally when all nos. add together, it becomes a 7 (3+2+1+1).. well.. God's divine appointment perhaps?? =)

Oh.. thank you all so much for visiting my page.. its juzt been 2 wks and my blog visiting page has increased from 106 visitors (when i first left off on 19/8) to 220 visitors (as of 4/9).. got a shock of my life when i see this man.. keep up the good work ppl =)

Well.. some of you may wonder how's life in tekong.. well.. I dun really koe where to start.. but generally, the accomodation is ok.. my bunk is facing the ferry terminal, so I get sea breeze everytime and sometimes even though its juz ceiling fan, it can get quite cold like early morning (abt 3am).. so need to cover blanket.. yes.. its tat cold..

In the earlier part of this blog post, I've already stated how's the training like.. its quite tough physically.. but then again, it helps to build my stamina..

If you don't koe, there is actually 2 schools in tekong (sch 1 and sch 2.. duh).. but the food is miles apart man.. apparently for me, i find the food at sch 2 is BETTER than sch 1.. becos' sch 2 food is by NTUC Foodfare catering company but then sch 1 i think its by Singapore Food Industries..
Just last thurs, i got a power lunch and i really mean power.. its those western (with deep fried chicken and black pepper chicken, fries, rice, vege) and the BEST of all is that the fruit was mango!! its been a long time since I ate mango!!
Yesterday's dinner got sambal prawn!! shiok i tell you.. so the food is good at sch 2!! =)
sometimes morning, they serve porridge.. and they actually serve the cuttlefish and peanut porridge (which is my fave!!)

well.. i think tat's abt. it.. dun koe wat else to say.. but if you all want to see my enlistment photos, simply click the link ("my enlistment photos") at the photo gallery column.. you can also see my other photos of my cell group (aka music ministry group in my church) under the link, "HCC His Sanctuary Photos"..its all there.. so go and see yourself ya.. =)

well.. i came back juz in time for my cousin's wedding dinner tonite at Four Seasons Hotel.. so happy.. but then, i botak.. not yandao anymore.. sianz.. =P *thick skin*

k.. gtg and do other stuff like read and reply emails.. i just receive 240 emails in my mailbox yesterday nite and i was SHOCKED!! and most of them were junk mail.. so anyway, gtg liaoz..
