Update on Recruitment Drive

Year 1 CCA Orientation for Uni. Groups
is just..

6 days away!!!!

and though we arent really well prepared,
i think we are SLIGHTLY
more prepared thn how we were for ROD.

one LAST MINUTE change
which wudnt have been last minute:

some sec 2 cadets will join sec 1 cadets in the Mock Attack.
im not against it.
it actually made the whole thing better.

i just pity them.
they practiced so hard for Footdrill,
just to land up in this situation.

there are a just a few things im worried about Display.
but i wont reveal those.


Future Year 1s! NCC is THE Uniformed Group CCA to be a part of! Being a GOLD Unit since 1993 and Best Unit 7 times, we are more than capable in grooming you into fine leaders. You will also gain friends who are true and sincere, and priceless memories of countless activtivies!


The One in his winning ways

yeah!!
dat makes it four wins in a row!
after the win against Rahim.

CHECKERS

ze "Internet Checkers" found on the start button under GAMES.
They give you a random opponent from anywhere in the world.
U cant really chat, but they find u a player real fast.
and i just won my FOURTH opponent.
in a time span of 3 days.

the last one REALLY gave me a hard time.

im glad i found this seemingly new interest.
cuz i havnt really been using my brain these 2 months.
this wud be good warm up for upcoming
SCHOOL.

checkers


its all about reading the game

The One on Fire

I was on fire.
Nope.
Not because of soccer, basketball, or some game.
or anything else u were thinking.

Logically speaking, i was on fire.
As in i was BUURning.
I do NOT know how the heck it happened.
But my hair caught fire.

I was playing checkers against Rahim.
Seems like a very safe activity rite?
Not if the ppl around u were playing with lighters
and leaving the gas on for some time.

I was packing up the checkers set.
Rahim lit a lighter near to me.
And wadye know.
My hair caught fire.

So i did wad ALL of you wud have done.
PANIC
U telling me u can relax when ur hair was burning away?
The only resort was to slap and beat my own head
with my bare hands.
Fortunately, yes. It Worked!

Its scary.
Its not like the fire was burning very slowly.
The second he lit the fire, was the moment my hair started
to burn.
And i cud feel it spreading real fast.

As if i bathed in gasoline this morning.

The only logical explanation:

The gas they left on from the lighter
somehow was circling around my hair.
So when a fire was lit,
it all ignited.
Well dats the closest guess.

I wudnt say it was funny.
Not saying it was really tragic too.
But people..


my hair caught fire..

The One Whole Day Raining

All rain all day.
Dats Boxing Day for you.

Initially planned for it to be a soccer day.
It just had to be cancelled.

I'll leave you with another cut scene from Love Actually

The British Prime Minister

Love ACTUALLY!!

Xmas
And i woke up rather late,
reason being,
I stayed up to watch Love Actually on TV last night.
I recall wanting to watch it in theaters a few years back.
But my friends and I watched Brother Bear instead.
Anyway i wudnt have understood the movie
if i had watched it back then.
Ytday was the perfect time to watch it.

Its like 6 -7 love stories mashed up into one comedic movie!
Loved it of course.
There was especially this scene.
Fortunately enough, there is YouTube



She was 11.
ELEVEN!
YES! FREAKIN ELEVEN!
And the boy there, was 13.
Meaning they are 16 and 14 respectively now.

Well after that performance, it led to this.



there the story of another guy in between.
Haha.

Happy Xmas to all of you!

The One went to a wedding

Aight, twez mua cuz weddin jez now.
Not a cousin im close to.
But my parents always told me he and his siblings took care of me
everyday when i was a baby.

For dat, im grateful and for the first time
i willingly, attended a wedding.

It was like the whole big family united there.
In the past,
extended families,
gramps, parents, uncles, aunts, children,
they all lived together in the same village. Kampongs.

So just now was like Kampong Tanjong Hirau united.
After being separated into HDB flats.
Much noise and hype was created.

Anyway its Christmas Eve.
Even though i dont really celebrate it, i enjoy it!
Aight, im keen to catch Love ACTUALLY now.

I'll leave u with this lovely Christmas Song
by Michael Buble.
Please, take your time to listen to the song.

The One with 3 borrowed DVDs

Didnt borrow them today.
I think it was 3 days ago?
3 DVDs.
2 movies.

In response to Jiayi's constant blogging about how good Step Up is,
well, i borrowed it.
And now im not only crazy about the movie,
i'm crazy about the soundtrack.
I tried to keep up with the dance moves.
Couldnt make it.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
One of the best movies ive watched this year.
People. Go rent or buy the DVD/VCD.
Ok, it may have a predictable storyline.
But the dance routines are savvy.
Also a movie fer all of mah Hip Hop peepz out there.
And the sparks dat fly between the 2 main characters make the
movie very romantic.

NOTE: The 2 are currently dating.


The other DVD that i borrowed is the X-MEN Trilogy.
Yep. A 3 in 1.
X Men, X Men United and X Men: The Last Stand.
Of course i only bothered to watch the third
cuz its the best out of the 3.

Also because of Ellen Page!
Kitty Pride i mean, aka Shadowcat.

Yep, i remember giving great comments on the movie the first time i watched it.
Still good the second time.
Just wished they put more screentime on Colossus.
He's the big guy who can cover himself with some sort of metal.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
cool huh.

Of course, i mentioned i borrowed 3 DVDs.
The last one is more of a set.
Season One of PRISON BREAK!
Woo!
Now i dun have to wait for Channel 5.
Season 2 began in America, back in August.
Ppl who follow the series,
trust me, it gets better and better.

Like wad Lincoln Burrows always say,

U GOTTA HAVE SOME FAITH

i bballed with the Mun Wah, Chi Jie, Iggy, Jyi and Chin Dee just mow.
first time u know.
that i come out on a non schooling day and actually play bball
at a public court.

Im starting to get the hang of shooting 2 pointers.
And lay ups are not a problem if i evade going against taller ppl.
I should be ok, playing
ball with u guys during PE.
that is, if our teacher lets us play bball every lesson.
even so, we'll find time after school wont we?

HOWEVER.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, CHILDREN OF ALL AGES.

In no situation is A-z gonna put aside FOOTBALL

The tired One

Rarr..
So tired..
Full day training 9am to 4.30pm.

Its true wad they say.
As a cadet recieveing orders, you always feel like ur being pushed around. and you dont like it.
You cant wait to become an NCO.

But when u are and NCO.
So many fears start to grow in you.
What if i dont give the cadet enough welfare?
What if i give too much and they climb over my head?
What do i do then?
Will this activity work? Will it be fun?
What do i do now/next?

There is so much preparation to be done.
And things dont always go your way.

In other words,
you wont really like it as an NCO too.
Its really a harder life.

But on top of it all, if you look at the positive side,
you learn new things almost everytime u do a mistake.
You will improvise on what you did,
or even come up with something new.

You know people better,
and people know you.

Im actually happy with the current situation.
They have learnt certain new things
and have improved alot.
But i still keep on seeing less than 15 coming for training.


Just wonder when that will change..

The One who ordered Pizza

Happy Birthday to my MOM!!!
yesterday

To tell you the truth i really dont know wads her age.
its gotta be 59 i think..

Well, we dont really celebrate birthdays.
Just ordered pizza for dinner
and breakfast today.

And what a dumb feeling to wake up with
when you know theres a full day training ahead.
And that Man Utd lost to a struggling West Ham.
1 - 0

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Omg. is Alan Curbishley that good?
Its gotta be luck, im telling ya.


And the freaking Blues (Chelsea) got lucky too.
They cud have drawn with Everton.
But Drogba just had to score in the 87th minute.

But fret not, Man U is still 2 points ahead.
And theres still half a season to go.
The battle is far from

It contains scenes from the movie.

For all Bleach fans, lets pray that it releases

The One making appearance on Channel 8?

Yes!
The fan is nt working again!
And fortunately theres an extra fan!

Wez walkin home from skool,
very near my block, at the foothills of Mt Faber,
a group of ppl surrounded a few other ppl
who really looked as if they were fighting.

Yes, they were.
They were shooting.

No. Not shooting bullets.
But shooting for a series/film.
I think its the same crew as the one shooting in GESS too.
Cuz earlier in school i saw the crew setting off to sumwhere.
And perhaps its common sense for them to go sumwhere near?
so i ASSUME its the same crew.

So. It crossed my mind.

Should I be an extra and walk past (behind) the actors filming?
Hehehe
Nah.. Wad diff will it make in my life.

Anyway i'm happy with my 0.5 second appearance in

The One, the Ah Beng and some kids

I forgot to mention.
I was sitting down waiting.
There was an Ah Beng
with some malay kids.
Small but going to be sec 1.
Just like how i was.

Kids: Eh play fire ah! play fire ah!
Another kid: Eh we burn plastic bag ah!
Kids: Ah ok ok. there got plastic bag
Ah Beng: Oi. Dont burn plastic leh. Plastic got the chemical burn then kan ni na chi bai. The smell worst thn my this one *refers to ciggeratte.


The One who played Sweeper

Ok. I didnt jog.
I walked to Hill Lock to see whether there were anybody kicking around there.

I saw one or 2.
I sat down.
Alot more came.

And wadye know.
I found a new group of ppl to play soccer with.
Alot of familiar faces actually.

And so my first game.
I went straight to attack.
wtf.
I missed in front of goal 5 times.

Ppl were like saying, "Ah. He's no big deal"
i could see it in their faces.
damnit.
u know how dat feels?

to come and play with a fresh new group of ppl
to miss 5 times the first time they see you play
and to know dat they were looking down on you

fine.
i play Sweeper.

then they began to wonder, "Who is this guy?"
exaggeration.
basically, i played better controlling things from behind.
Last man, as many ppl know it.
The ball comes anywhere near the goalpost,
dats where i'll go.
Get the ball, and start a counter attack.
Of course with my superb vision,
most of my counter attacks resulted in goals.
I made many assists.

Sweepers dont really do that.
They just get the ball and whack the ball up.
They play safe.

But being something else is fun isnt it.
So i played something like a point guard in basketball.
A playmaker from behind.
And dat was when my game started to improve.

Ok then. I'll try and play more of the


SWEEPER



The One from Hillary 4 - 8 Dec 2006.

My greatest regret in this OBS course
is not to borrow a freaking camera and bring it along to take pics.
Now, im gonna post this boring post which has no pics.

Oh well, i wont make this so long.
U guys dont have to see completely wad ppl do in OBS anyway.
U can only know wad OBS is about once u have experienced it.

So it was 5 days in which we went "back to basics"
Yeah. The life without the comfort we have at home.
And obviously, the point was to widen ur comfort zone,
to be able to work with anyone, in any situation.

To embark on an Outward Bound journey.

The 100+ of us were separated into watches(groups)
Me and Guo Sheng were feeling sian and all cuz he was in Armstrong
and i was in Hillary.

But we both soon adapted to our new surroundings and friends.
And of course, we had a great deal of fun.
We were quite lucky too.

Armstrong and Hillary did ALL their activities
at the same time, all the time.

On the 4th day, we were officially called Buddy Watches,
embarking on the Sea Expedition together, as
a self proclaimed Armillary/Hillstrong etc.

These 2 watches combined = fun,love,peace and joy man!
So not only did i have friends from Hillary, but Armstrong too.

Btw, Sea Expedition was a kayaling expedition whereby
we rode double kayaks and paddled a cross-island (Ubin)
We woke up as early as 5.30am to get ready and all.
We set off at around 7.30 i suppose.
According to the planning, we were expected to reach our destination at 2pm.

We reached at 12.30pm
Because Armstrong and Hillary just click!
All the jokes we had during the expedition cancelled out the pain
and strain on our arms.
Not to mention sea-ex was a day after land-ex in which we trekked
through perhaps, half of Pulau Ubin.

Hillary was probably the smallest watch at the end of the course.
16 of us in the start.
Suhailah left due to her not feeling well.
Thn on the last night, Sabi, Wilson Lim, Wilson Soh, Sam and Chang Yi (sorry if wrong spelling) left cuz their skool had
an expedition in Australia a day later.
Good Luck on that guys!

Suhailah brought forward an important note before she left.
To have a strong mentality throughout the camp.
No doubt, i perservered through it cuz of ur words. Thnx!

Chang Yi. You are one of those who worked hardest. Not to mention u are a nice guy too. Although Sabi says u are gay. Haha

Sabi. You truly have the Nepalese Gurkha blood in you. I was touched by your ability to endure the whole land-ex, carrying a full back pack, 2 tents, and 2 camping sticks of filled bottles.
You were most helpful, and as a medic, you always looked out for others.

Wilson Lim. A funny character who loves to play jokes and pranks on others and to lighten us up when we felt frustrated. They missed you most when u guys left.

Wilson Soh. You seem so quiet all the time. But inside you is a hardworker. You helped alot with the stores and all, and i appreciate it.

Sam. Congrats, sea-ex IC for the successful sea-ex. HAHA

Zed. You rocker. Ur probably jamming now. Have fun. And are u in contact with Tina? hehehe

Sutina. Go and have a great time with ur family! Dont forget the dedication u made!

Seri. Thnx for supporting me in my battle against the mosquitoes!

Azura. Dun give up so easily! The Helium Pole just needed more time!

Winston the Monk. Waterproof Monk! Thnx for blessing us with good weather in sea-ex. And for controlling the waves. The comic relief throughout the course, for both Hillary and Armstrong. And dun so blur anymore leh!

Keith. Stop your "susu panas" la! Once funny twice lame! Haha. You also remember ur commitment to OBS hor. Dun talk cock only!

Ding Ren. Thnx for excusing me from tent pitching all the time. haha. i really suck in it.

Stanley. Thnx for all the Insect Repellent u provided me all the time. The shoe spray too. And ur commitment to OBS. To stop using Maphack in DotA!!

Louis. Mr. Cool la. Always cool with the situation. So relaxed wan you. Thnx for leading us thru land ex.

And how can i forget
our instructor.

JONATHAN!

You are so inspirational! All the stories u shared. There is not a single one that i will forget! U made us change our attitude in just 5 days. What a work!

Though i know we are not the best Watch that u have taken, i hope u had fun like how I did.

Now i have to put OBS behind and start on homework liao.
Really does make me feel like going back to Ubin.
haha.

The One who is close to OBS

In just a few hours.
Report to Amoy Quee Camp.
Sleep in for the night.
Start OBS the next day.

Yes.
Thats Right.
No Lord of The Rings for me.
Which is seriously very saddening.

Why do i have this feeling
that its gonna be a LONG and quiet
6 days.

I dont socialise with ppl in camps.
At least not dat much before.

And dat shoe i bought,
not gonna bring it :)
its too BEAUTIFUL.

well this is it

The One who is feeling sorry and all

damn.

Well earlier in the afternoon,
Muneer accompanied me to Queensway to get a new pair of shoes.
Obviously, i didnt have a clue on which to buy.
And my bargaining sux.

He recommended me this pair of Lotto shoes,
which was really hot on sales.
He claimed he had wanted it for a long time
and dat he would return at night, to buy it.
I bought it.

and well,

we both came back at night.

I came to exchange my size 6.5 to a size 7.

Unfortunately, they could only find a size 7.5,
and it was the last one.
Muneer just had to arrive 5 mins after me
to realize the fact that,
he wouldnt be able to buy the shoes dat he longed for.

My mind, as usual, in stressful times(even in the slightest of stress),
went blank.

I just well, waved, said sorry, and went out of the shop.
I was gonna exit Queensway until i decided to return to find him.
It wasnt dat hard.
I told him dat i could sell my current Lotto to him.
And i, on the other hand, would go on a journey to find a new pair.

Well, he rejected.
Of course he rejected.
What was i thinking.
If i were give the same offer, i would definitely choose to be
Mr. dun worry im fine
and reject the offer.
Accepting it would be make me feel so thick skinned.

If i wanted to change things,
i wud need to borrow a time machine from sumwhere else.
But dat wud be troublesome
cuz have ta report for OBS tmr.

Great
Now im going to OBS without a clear mind.


RARRR!~


The One who's got 2 days left

Yare yare.. 2 days left.

Got my trekking shoes for OBS.
not really trekking shoes.
street soccer shoes actually.
couldnt resist it.
too nice.

anyway. im going back to queensway.
cuz hell,
size 6.5 is a lil small, i just realised.
hope i can exchange w/o receipt
cuz yeah, i aint got no receipt.


and i tot tonight, i can relax and enjoy.
