A mad rush..

Well.. quite a few reasons as y this blog is titled as above!! The reasons are as follows:

(a) As usual, I type this blog post b4 bking in.. so its quite rush..

(b) Last wednesday, got a tekan session in the middle of the nite.. they call it turnout! The rationale for a turnout is to prepare us juz in case of any emergency and we as RPs need to act immediately.. so its like a drill.. but only thing, this turnout takes place in the nite.. Lights off is at 10.30pm and 11.30pm was the turnout.. we did NOT koe the exact timing.. the bell wld start ringing and my sgts and corporals wld then start shouting and of course, adding vulgarities in their shouting as well.. then they happily tekan us until abt 1.30am and by the time we get ready like washing up our face etc, its already 2am.. and we had to wake up at 6.30am the next day.. well.. so i think this wld be a weekly affair.. yeeks!!

(c) Since thursday, I have been busy studying for my RP test which happened last friday! I study until I tried, considering the fact tat I had not enuf sleep the past few days.. but nevertheless, I manage to study finish and I'm confident of passing the paper.. quite easy.. its juz a matter of how many marks I get.. =)

(d) did not have enuf sleep last nite, as I last min change the special song for my church Christmas service.. so have to do things like ppt, etc.. so slept like 3am in the morning and woke up at 7.50am for church this morning.. i leading somemore in church today.. tiring manz..

ok.. now u koe y i call this blog a mad rush ya.. ha..

well.. gtg and watch some TV b4 I bk in.. =)

oh.. remember to keep me in ur prayers ya.. Got a feeling tat there wld be another turnout this wk again!! Yeeks!! juz pray watever u think is necessary ya.. =) Thanx!

Ciaoz n have a GREAT week ahead,

A quick update..

Well.. I'm actually running late. so this is a short one..

well.. this wk is a ok.. except for the tekan sessions.. the no. of push-ups I do a day can simply add up to abt. a hundred.. sometimes even more.. so a wk, can be abt. 500-600 push-ups along with other tekan exercises.. haiz.. never in my whole life did I do so many push-ups b4..

I also did my first ippt test.. as usual, I failed.. most of my bunk mates are obese batch.. at first I thought they also cannot do like me.. but surprisingly, 70% of them can do much better than me.. some can even pass.. really feel embarassed leh..

regarding the food. ha.. wat can I say?? It's better than Tekong.. got variety.. similar to outside food liaoz.. morning sometimes we had fried carrot cake.. how's tat for a breakfast.. shiok ah.. but a bit oily.. but the servings are HUGE man.. but u koe me lah.. i can't bother to waste food.. so i juz finish up.. but I hope I dun grow fat man.. haiz..

well.. today went out and got a new hp, a Nokia 3120!! wanted to get Nokia 6100 (which is a older version of Nokia 3120 mind you..), but then its much more expensive to pay compare to Nokia 3120 after trade-in my Nokia 8310.. man.. its more ex becos N6100 has infra-red function whereas N3120 has NO infra-red function.. well.. i can go on and on but no time.. so ya..

now quite happy becos' got new hp.. also bought some new clothings frm the usual, my fave clothing apparel store, GIORDARNO!! there's one shirt i like it a lot..

ooppss.. overtime.. need to rush liaoz..

Talk more on my nxt blog (which i wld think it wld be Christmas Eve!).. hope can bk out early on Christmas Eve!! =)

Ciaoz n have a GREAT week ahead,

Much prayers are needed for my SAF posting!!

ok.. this is wat I think is the best way to ask for prayer requests.. have juz converse with my friend over msn regarding my posting thing..

He said he was also posted there a yr ago (same position as me) b4 he was posted out to become a clerk as he has tore his ligament or sumthing like tat..

and he told me the training there is tough (in fact, TOUGHER than SISPEC [which i didn't want to go becos of the training] where they train sergeants) and since now I'm chosen for as an Air Force RP, then I would have irregular working hours which makes me MISS a LOT of church sessions for about a year or so!! so this means I CANNOT attend church if wat my friend said is true!!

I'm utterly saddened by this.. but there is also a possibility (I think and I hope!)that wat he said is all his time (ie, a year ago..) .. now its different or I post to another dept and NOT the dept he talking about!!

I believe that since God has place me into this vocation, He muz have some plans for me!! So pls. pray for me in the following ways:

- to allow Him to show me what is His plan
- I'll be posted to a not so siong dept
- better still.. post to OTHER DEPT other than wat my friend talking about..
- even if I'm in tat siong unit, pray that I'll be in 1 piece and training wld be fun and NOT siong..
- my superiors wld be good
- my bunk/team mates wld be good
- able to go to church even after my training has finish
- in summary, everything to go well..

I'm now in a VERY STRESSED state becos' of this conversation with my friend.. haiz.. ahhh....

Feeling sianz, scared and stressed,

My SAF Posting..

Hi.. many of you out there muz be curious wat will be my SAF posting.. well.. I got posted as a regimental police (commonly known as RP) in Paya Lebar Air Base..

Thank God for such a slack posting (I hope!) but most of all, its near my place!! But the disadvantage is tat its a stay-in thing.. so its like not much of a difference as I'm in Tekong, except tat its guard duty for the nxt 2 yrs and in mainland..

heard I have to go thru also a "BSLC" course (not too sure whether its true! hope not!!).. which I know is quite siong.. similar to wat I did in BMT.. field camps and stuff..

Actually a lot of ppl said I'm very fortunate to take such a vocation as its quite slack.. but then, I believe there is always a difficult factor.. nothing is easy in NS unless u do an admin job at CMPB or sumthing.. but oh well...

I called up the office and they said my vocation is work 2 days and off 1 day (dun koe how true!).. one thing it cld be good.. another thing is tat I got a risk tat I got to perform my duty on Sunday.. which means I can't go to church.. well..

Believe God had put me into this vocation for a reason.. so guess He will plan for me everything.. juz leave it to the Man Upstairs!! Pray alongside with me too ya.. pray watever u think is necessary.. thanx.. =)

well.. think tat shld be all lahz.. nothing much to talk abt liaoz.. just pray, pray and pray =)

Ciaoz n have a GREAT weekend ahead,
