Coming to an end to my BMT life..

Well.. in a matter of days (4-5 days), i will POP (which means will graduate lah from BMT).. and my 5 day block leave will start.. but the bad news is tat i have to go back 1 day to camp (ie, nxt sun nite bk in and nxt mon will be the re-test of my IPPT, becos' i fail my ippt.. so have to retake.. so tat's y need to come back on mon which is my block leave.. but wat to do?? I just have to come back.. haiz..)

anyway, on thurs nite, i will do my 24km graduation march which will take place thru'out the nite.. the 16km march almost killed me.. and now the 24km?? i can tell u tat i will die manz.. so again, need ur prayers.. pray for strength to persevere on for the entire distance of 24km and also for good weather and other stuff u can think of ya.. thanx!

also need your prayers in the area of my posting after my BMT.. i koe its a bit too early to plan and stuff.. but im juz very worried tat i get a very siong vocation or a vocation which requires me to burn my weekends, esp. my sun.. so just pray tat God will choose the rite vocation/posting for me in a way tat I would be free on weekends so tat i can attend cell and church and also, the vocation would be manageable and not so siong.. thanx hor.. =)

well.. sorry if this blog is like full of prayer requests.. but i feel tat it is apt, since i wld not be able to see you face-to-face and stuff, esp. if you are at the other side of the world and stuff.. so ya... feel this is the best way to lay my prayer requests.. =).. thanx 4 praying.. =)

well.. this blog is more or less done and guess wat.. i have to go soon.. tonite bk-in timing is 8.30pm at pasir ris.. one of the latest bk-ins we have so far.. so ya..

stay happy and remember to pray for me.. ha..

Ciaoz n have a GREAT week ahead,

A new computer, a new beginning...

Well.. the title may sound profound... but its juz early in the morning where im most awake, becos it has past my bedtime..

anyway, juz to inform u all tat my com has been UPGRADED.. u want to koe the specs?? talk to me in pvt, etc.. dun want to let u all go bored.. =)

juz feel very happy, becos at last my dream com has more or less been fulfilled!! y am i still at the topic of computers?.. hmm..

anyway, this wk at tekong quite slack.. its like whenever we have an activity (esp. in the afternoon), it will rain most of the time, which will cause the activity to cancel.. which is good.. so give me more rest, but its not enuf.. becos most of the time, the rest is juz a 5-10min rest.. the rest of the time you wld be doing forced voluntary work!! =).. well.. tat's NS for you..

in 2 wks time (03 Dec 04 to be exact) would be my passing out parade.. so frm tml (mon) onwards, wld be spending most of my time under the hot sun to practice marching etc.. haiz..

oh.. tml (mon) would be my 16km route march.. so pls. pray for me for cool weather (but NOT raining.. dun want to get wet and muddy) and able to endure the demands of the route march.. even though its juz pure walking, but its quite shiong too.. imagine you want 16km with a load behind you close to 6-7kg.. so ya.. appreciate your prayers!

oh.. i posted up a few of new photos.. they are "field camp" & "family outing at Esplanade".. go to the usual photo column and click and take a look ya.. more to be uploaded but my internet dun seem to work well tonite.. but juz take a look first ya.. =)

Happy Deepavali !!

Halo ppl.. Im in high spirits now, becos' Im on a 5 day break! yes!! 5 days.. only book in on mon nite at 7.30pm!

anyway, ive got plans for today.. going out with my pal, Marcus juz to chill and stuff.. if got time tonite (or if the com is working), ill blog it..

well.. this wk is quite a relaxing wk.. did range this wk (ie, shooting with REAL bullets) on both day and nite.. nite shooting i can't make it.. day shooting was suppose to be ok for me.. but becos' of my poor results at the nite shooting, i have to score a total for day shoot 12 out of 16, which was almost possible.. i scored 11/16.. which means i have to re-shoot.. but thank God tat when I reshoot, the officier was nice.. he kept on encouraging me and gave me advice on how to stand and shoot etc.. so in the end, of course i pass lah.. so happy =)

well.. tat's all i can remember for this wk.. this wk quite slack.. next wk (ie, after my break), im throwing a LIVE GRANADE!! so guess tat shld be exciting?? i hope..

suddenly i lost my train of thought.. nvm.. i'll juz end here.. if anything, i'll juz blog again.. =)

Ciaoz n have a GREAT wk ahead,
