today managed to execute my 9 hrs of study... maybe even more see whether i can
study thru the nite... for my 1 hr break, i watched the table tennis match which
got me so engaged... emotionally very much though... after the match i felt pretty
upset and demoralised. gosh i think i'm too sensitive leh. i cld actually felt the
hurt and its really strong cos i cldnt concentrate to study.
haiz thot she could win easily cos by the 4th game she already 3-1 sets. and she even
beat 11-0 in one of the set. who knows in the end lost 3-4. and tt korean made so
much noise. haiz.
not trying to be a spoilsport but dun u think whenever spore had media attn on the
athletes, they cant perform? everytime ' can he/she be the one to win an olympic
medal after 40 yrs?' and when they lost, news over, bye and take care. no reward
for getting into semi-finals. haiz.
susilo can defeat top seed while jia wei wif the second
seed, they cant win over unseeded vs 40th seed athletes? i think perhaps pressure
too much on them. so happy for jiawei for her 3 sets. haiz all she nids was one
more...
i cant bear to see the next match but sad to say the south korean got quite a high
chance. her chopping skills very gd. second, the south korean always wait for pple
to make mistakes and jiawei quite prone to tt and her power shots not as strong as
the Chinese top seed. third, jing and jiawei lost to the south korean pair during
the doubles... mmm...
against all odds, pls dun focus all the attn to jiawei again. let her beat the odds
in a low profile way like she did it wif wang nan.
dun dare to watch tml's match le. ok. now get back to study.

i so forgetful. borrowed 2 revision books, put in the locker and forgot to bring
home -_-. today a j1 walked into the sch b4 me. after i see he and the OM went into
the office, i quickened my pace. but guess wat, he came out in time to catch me. but
lucky me, i only brought a file. so i told him i went to get my file from my dad
outside the sch gate. tough luck.
then went to look for my pd tutor but couldnt find. so when i went for the last period,
my class was shocked that i came. haiz. feel sorry cos they had to do push up for the
accumulated make up PE. to think mine was worst, still got others also. haiz. then
checked the class photos that the photographic society took. i love all the 2 informal
and 1 format shots. cos i look gd in them. lol. really. j1 photos were like yucks.
and i can have a happy weekend cos my pd tutor finally tok to me. but hey maybe after
he relieved wat he had to say to my dad so dunno whether i still get hell. he also
quite shocked to see that i'm in school. probably he thot i pon sch again. and i
attended his GP consultation which he had forgotten. but he still lecture me la, this

19.08.04, Thursday ~ Hyped factor: 6/10
Today seemed to be quite a peaceful day, for several reasons:
firstly, bio tutorial such a breeze, answers juz flashed and copied. spent most
of the time juz chatting wif tutor abt bio issues like ethics involved in allowing
women who are close to menopause to conceive babies. tok abt hormone replacement
therapy.
secondly, i understand maths: complex numbers. cos i got cool friends who lend me f
maths notes and i understand better.
thirdly, i haf GP test which was rather ez... abt gay marriage. lol. somemore the
2 passages are written in a light hearted fashion. ez to understand. the second one
best... analysing some of the american reality shows which featured gays like queer
eye for the straight, boy meets boy. but most importantly, i dont have to spend 2
periods looking at my tutor. and my ears got their relief from hearing him talk.
lastly, chem prac was not too difficult. its not that i dunno how to answer the qn,
juz that i didnt revise the prac notes. so some of the qn actually are repeated.
so i guess not too bad, haf to start digging out chem prac stuff...
but some things are still troubling me, but they are kinda trival. got so many
make up PEs to do. and PE dept so serious abt it. have to clear before i get the
guys in class into trouble. (do push ups) so most probable gg to use the whole next
week to clear. but sometimes after a day's lessons, u feel mentally tired to even
try runnning 10 rounds under the hot sun. oh well, hu ask me skip PE lessons. lol.
and tml i think its the cca handover ceremony. which i didnt attend. dunno wats going
to happen. there's no1 for me to handover, dunno why i had to go.
oh great news. i passed my math test (major ones) for the 2nd time for 2 yrs. lol.
first is my promo and now's next. haha. not something i shld be happy abt cos
it means that i nid to brush up on other areas. but hey its a stepping stone
for me. at least i know i can pass if i practice enough. :] but overall i noe i'm dun
haf the cut for maths la. so i haf to work extra hard.
gd luck for those whose exams coming soon. start studying now then no nid to cramp.
i spending every moment i can to study, even though i am blogging now. i searching
for vocabularies for my GP. hee...
oh btw, mini-me and shanZ u know who's my 'dear' le rite. lol. be nice ok, muz
smile... *hair stands*

lucky i mastered the motto for national camp - resilience. if not i would have killed
my tutor. lucky today was a short day. was so pissed by him. a few days ago i posted
an apology letter that i wrote? which i removed cos i was thot that i wasnt being
sincere enough. guess wat happens when i gave the letter to my pd tutor? that fucking
(excuse me) tutor opened my letter and closed it instanteously and gave it back to me.
'There's nothing else to explain. you jolly well know what you have done.
I was stunned. after that, he added,
'whats your dad's number? i nid to speak to him. If not, i'm gg to ask him to
come down to school and meet me.'
i was fuming and 'wat the hell' almost came out of my mouth. wah if you were me, how
would u feel? i spent quite some time drafting the letter putting aside my work cos
i'm sincere in apologising to him. but the least he could do is to accept the letter.
if he dun wan to read or throw, i dont care but reject it in front of me and wat i
get in the end? more trouble. gosh. there seem to be nothing i can do to redeem
myself. like i committed some serious sin like dat. think he super bias. one of
my friend got early leave form and she juz put on the table today and wat, nothing
happens. if its me, diff case leh. for my early leave i nid to have MC attached to
it. wah like so many others could get away from skipping sch. seriously some1 pls
slap some sense into him. i feel so unjust.
so frustrated. my apology letter brought me more trouble. If some1 says saying sorry
doesnt hurt, i will be the first to scream 'hell no'.
today everything seemed so wrong. except that i managed to sneak into first aid club
gathering and eat one of their pizza and bitch abt today to shu hui and wei shan.
ronald susilo lost. haiz. somemore kena thrashed. 10-15, 1-15. amazing race, charla
and mirna were last and got eliminated. why the race team lost, cos they tried to get
earlier flight but the flight got delayed. sometimes it doesnt help to do more things
cos u nvr know when u will get messed up.
and AJ wonderful CCA dept had this handover-cum-stepping down ceremony. they say i
had to go. for wat? the cca not going to continue. hand over to who? step down? we
ar not given recognition in the first place wats the nid to step down? seriously,
they are too rigid. everything muz die die follow. i think if death can be pre planned
i think they will do up their death certificates. arghz.
received new timetable. crap. its juz shortened timetable. 145 go home. strangely,
there is still civics... somemore 2 periods. if 1 period for admin matters i understand.
2??? i was wondering if they are going to have revision lectures, why dont they have
slots for lectures and consultation time? die die muz force us wake up so early go
sch and follow the timetable... VJ has slotting thingy and u juz come for those lects
u nid or the tutorials. isnt that more effective? teachers can give stupid answers too.
'why muz we follow the timetable?'
'because we know some pupils cannot be left alone to study'
erm, by forcing them to come for lectures and tutorials, u think they will learn?
waste 45 mins somemore. they should give us time to practise and explore our area
of weaknesses then we can clarify our doubts. going thru everything as a mainstream,
not only slow down our revision but we are not giving priorities to the weaker topics.
and different pple have diff priorities. juz like this fri bio practice test. like
as if every1 start revising from the j1 topics. -_-
ok. let off my steam le. now can sleep better. tml got more things to handle.
got 2 tests. well at least GP test i can finally stop hearing the fat arse talk for
2 periods. *claps* and AJ is the only kuku college to have wat. make-up PE. and
i have to clear one tml.

hump... suddenly natcamp 06' struck me... gave me a sudden pump of adrenaline.
not really excited but the satisfaction i got from this yr maybe kinda overwhelming
for me... hee... wonder how others view my performance... mmm... pretty happy tt
i breakthrough. as i haf said joining so many activities really do stretch and make
me realise my potential. and it has been worthwhile organsing and executing. nothing
beats when cadets come to you and appreciate your effort. if i could record the whole
4 days in video... lol. cheering and dancing definitely make up the best part of the
camp. i am grateful to have such a sporting division. dare to go up the stage with
me to dance. And first time to see the guys enjoy the mass dance so much. and all
addicted to the song. thank you charlies, u guys dunno how much it meant to be appreciated.
Now every night in msn, could see their nicks filled with charlies. and biggest
challenge is to make pple shed tears and we succeeded. lol. i love my natcamp 04 team
for being so united and every1 covered more than they could.
well 2 yrs later, hope i can venture into FA duty. even though i may not be gd at it.
but haf to start somewhere and learn :] then can observe natcamp06.

dull and dreadful day. i only looking forward to study breaks. first lesson got
screwed so sian... didnt manage to spit out 'oxygen is the final electron acceptor
in ETC' and got suaned that my answers are so o-lvl standard -_- the tone she had
like i was the only one who didnt noe the answers. my classmates all shoot me with
answers and every one i read out was wrong. well guess my class has not been
studying too... And fri she wanted to have a timed practice. and asked us whether
we have completed our revision up till ecology. and she stressed that we ought to
be around that topic. i was like 'wat the hell'. she told us to do our own revision
schedule. wat topics to cover etc. then she go thru the mainstream and expect every1
to revise from the earlier chapters. damn. now messed up my study plans. i wanted to
revise from the back cos there are a few concurrent tests on the latest chapters. so
logically i haf to study for them so i might as well revise from the back. now
she tell me she going to give a test this fri, i have to rush to study all the topics
in front. isnt that crap??? somemore she checked my study plans and said it was ok.
feel like telling her to just give me the questions, i will check answers with the
rest when i revise the topics. seriously no point to rush a few chapters within
a few days then i have to revise again later. messed up... arghz.
nuting much today. my pd cum GP tutor as usual haven called me to answer questions.
which is gd cos i no nid to malu myself if my answers not correct. bad tt i've been
ignored. lol. tell me who's being immature now? i dare to face him but seems like
i'm still a blurry shape to him.
sian hardly laugh in class... cos either no jokes or they were juz too lame. i wonder
the class laugh so hard to relieve stress? or that to show support for the jokers?
hump. shld i tell my tutor i not going for fri remedial? i really dun want to rush
juz to do the practice. haiz. i'm so screwed.

16.08.04, Monday ~ Hyped factor:2/10
oh well today started off sucky. as expected my pd tutor asked me to stay back
after the assembly. knew i gonna get screwed so was thinking of wat to say.
wah when i approached him, he was already fuming... started barking at me...
well it was a long story... and wat i did was wrong la. so those who are reading
dun follow... i handed in the excuse letter only on sat, i didnt hand it personally
cos if i were to hand in personally, i would definitely be persuaded not to go.
then if tt happens, if i still choose to go, i might even haf to get 3 days MC
which may complicate things even more. If my tutor persuaded me not to go, and i still
went, then would be defiance. that is even worse, later go to discipline com which
is the last thing i want. if he persuaded me not to go and i really dun go. lol. tts
not going to happen. if i can be persuaded not to go, i wouldnt haf signed up and
so eagerly wanted to go. so tt was the last resort.
But i did inform all my other subject tutors and i collected honework frm them and
got their acknowledgement. I wouldnt want to get all yes then when i see the pd
tutor and a no from him. how? not tt i disrespect him by leaving the letter in his
pigeon hole but i am more to NOT to be defiant to him. Haiz but no1 seem to understand.
Yes no matter wat, i am still wrong. but frm all the experience i had from the camp,
and the choice i made , the die-die also muz go camp, i haf to bear the consequence.
but i haf no regrets. pple may see me as irresponsible, unaccountable, watsoever,
i know what i do is wrong but given a situation like mine, wats ya take?
of course, the most moral way is to listen to the teachers and forgo the camp. yes,
they are persuading u for ya own good. But i am not playing moral 'police', like i
mentioned last time, when i am dead set in doing a thing, its unlikely u can change
my focus. And i haf already blogged earlier tat, i know prelim is impt, i know
they are not to be taken lightly, i know parents and teachers do this do that for
my own gd, i know my As are important, i know i shld spend more time studying.
haiz. been hearing all these... everytime i mean i will do it, i will.
i know they are worried that i may side track and lose focus on my studies, but the
tone they have is like i n-e-v-e-r study at all. and i noe i'm responsible for
wat i do. so mr C-H-E-N-G, stop thinking that i will run crying to you if my
results are not gd. and stop using testimonial to threaten me. so unjust. my class
so many of my classmates, they were clearly skipping sch and sometimes he didnt even
ask for their letters. haha. today my class didnt turn up for his remedial and he was
damn pissed. but hey guess who he lashed it out on? ME
'So if you guys not interested, i can do away with the remedial'
then he asked one by one whether we still want the remedial.
each one nodded his/her head. then when he called my name, i nodded.
'ok, not as if you are here a lot.'
deep inside me i wanted to shout 'WAT!'
wah, i was 'pissified'. could have slammed the table and walked off. wat is his prob?
i wasnt even skipping his class on fri lo. so unhappy to teach then dun teach la.
he cant teach GP for nutz. every1 in my class is talking behind his back and he thinks
the whole class likes him a lot. I was feeling guilty the whole morning and on my
table i did all the work that are supposed to be handed up today. my class still
got pple who have the whole 4 days to do and yet didnt do. yet he nvr say a thing.
the whole morning i was so distracted that i broke a microscope slide. lucky no nid
to pay. i was like a body without a soul. lifeless. i floated from class to class.
but deep down it was charlie that kept me going. everything was worth it.
then when i went home, wah almost got knocked down. the car missed me by my tip of
my shoes. the horn so loud i also went deaf. tt was how distracted i am.
haiz. now muz write an apology letter. so mixed feelings. sorry yet unjust.
tml i haf four periods with him. gosh, how to survive.
did the devil in him got released from the gates today?
after the assembly. knew i gonna get screwed so was thinking of wat to say.

i know they are worried that i may side track and lose focus on my studies, but the
tone they have is like i n-e-v-e-r study at all. and i noe i'm responsible for
wat i do. so mr C-H-E-N-G, stop thinking that i will run crying to you if my
results are not gd. and stop using testimonial to threaten me. so unjust. my class
so many of my classmates, they were clearly skipping sch and sometimes he didnt even
ask for their letters. haha. today my class didnt turn up for his remedial and he was
damn pissed. but hey guess who he lashed it out on? ME
'So if you guys not interested, i can do away with the remedial'
then he asked one by one whether we still want the remedial.
each one nodded his/her head. then when he called my name, i nodded.
'ok, not as if you are here a lot.'
deep inside me i wanted to shout 'WAT!'
wah, i was 'pissified'. could have slammed the table and walked off. wat is his prob?
i wasnt even skipping his class on fri lo. so unhappy to teach then dun teach la.
he cant teach GP for nutz. every1 in my class is talking behind his back and he thinks
the whole class likes him a lot. I was feeling guilty the whole morning and on my
table i did all the work that are supposed to be handed up today. my class still
got pple who have the whole 4 days to do and yet didnt do. yet he nvr say a thing.
the whole morning i was so distracted that i broke a microscope slide. lucky no nid
to pay. i was like a body without a soul. lifeless. i floated from class to class.
but deep down it was charlie that kept me going. everything was worth it.
then when i went home, wah almost got knocked down. the car missed me by my tip of
my shoes. the horn so loud i also went deaf. tt was how distracted i am.
haiz. now muz write an apology letter. so mixed feelings. sorry yet unjust.
tml i haf four periods with him. gosh, how to survive.
did the devil in him got released from the gates today?

14.08.04, Saturday
lol. cant give a rating for my hypeness cos the 4 days of NatCamp would have
break the meter le. really. best camp i ever had. maybe the involvement and the
emotional attachment i had. having camp hangover now... missed chem and bio test today.
well start wif first day?
10.08.04, Tuesday
i woke up at 3+ when i slept at 12+. cos i was so scared i overslept. then i took
a cab to HQ and its 16 bucks cos 50% surcharge. damn. no first train haf to reach
by 6am. excited abt going for camp but deep down stressed cos i always not tt gd in
ra-ra the crowd. and so many UGs, if dun perform :( first time handling 80+ cadets
together with 5 instructors unlike Unit leader programme so many instructors.
reached SAF terminal the moment i hear other instructors shouting, i got stressed.
got tt feeling wont be able to enjoy the camp feeling. more of competing to see
which division fare better. dunno how to bring across the stress level to u guys.
maybe juz me la. i very competitive one.
as the charlies from other UG come settling in, they came in wif sian sian look, i got
more worried. thinking of what cheer to do, wat game to play. but even though we played
games like 'squirrel and tree', at least we are the first division to proceed on more
than juz intro the members. saw a few charlies giving the sian look, wah i immediately
stressed. wanted to go back do admin n attendance taking...
oh then came first activity. i went to archery. no chance to practice... kinda sian.
then went to first aid and cpr. and discover they taught wrong stuff... lol. then
dinner came. quite nice. division time freaked me out cos nothing to do doesnt
reflect well... so keep brainstorming...
mountain biking. i break into cold sweat. long time nvr cycle. now somemore so
challenging... all the slopes. i braked still moving down. then charlie got highest
casualty rate. haiz. got a few sent home.
then we had games... i thot of the sock game. starting was scared that they didnt like
it. but seems like they loved the socks! lol no la, the game. when i see the other
division like bravo(by NPCC) and alpha(by SJAB) looking at us (wif envy?), i feel so
shiok. haha. alpha was lying down cos no prog... lol. heard frm one of the alpha cadet.
then had like dog and bone thingy. loser chase winner in a scissors-paper-stone game
dunno why they kept doing winner chases loser. lol. then had a inter-sector cheering
competition. which we came up wif out division cheer:
Go like a champion, go go
Fight like a champion, fight fight
Go like a champion, fight like a champion
All the rest can go fly kite
fly kite, fly kite, all the rest can go fly kite
fly kite, fly kite, all the rest can go fly kite
this cheer is really dynamic when u do it jumping... lol. thanks to ek.
oh ya we haf the charlie power thingy. hee...
2 hrs passed so fast... we also taught them the titanic song, not celine dion one.
11.08.04, Wednesday
PT was yawnz... not challenging...
charlie got to go first cos we are cheering powerhouse.
breakfast ok la. SFI food cant expect much.
had outdoor cooking. learnt a few new stuff tt can be cooked. then had the ATF and
jumar. all the climbing i wanna do but no 1 accompany me. so nvr do. sianz...
but could see charlies enjoy themselves, cheering each other... but something was
missing... not very bonded yet. so had to think wat to do.
then was all the wet activities. told myself, die die also muz do... then kayaking
also nvr do cos no partner. lol. then suddenly the NPCC commandant DSP Geraldine Tan
asked me to go kayaking wif her. lol. so honoured. and stressed. then when we kayak
beyond the boundaries, the NPCC coast guard shouted at us. then when we approached
nearer, they suddenly shouted 'sorry ma'am', so hilarious... seeing charlies shouting
and singing while doing jetty jump... felt so happy for them.
then it was boat rowing... was fun la, but not the most fun. cos poor charlie had to
shift the boats cos we are the last division for the activity that day. trap making
didnt sit in. cos was zzz... lol.
then division time was fun fun fun! they learnt mass dance, we had a hard time
'chop' that place, the foyer. then the first aiders came to join us learn mass dance.
was actually performing for charlies to see cos they dance so well. in the end, so
many audience, all want encore. i was dehydrating le... i think we ended the nite quite
well, some felt high... haha. i think the emotions like roller coaster, going to peak.
12.08.04, Thursday
oh yeah, campfire nite. but sad. end of activity. i only went for campfire organisation.
the rest i nvr attend cos i was bz wif first aid duty. lol. part time.
wah then campfire havoc sia. throw pple up in the air, keep cheering. we rocked the
stage for our performance. we danced the whole nite. almost. partying. cheering.
dancing. very wild until u cant imagine. last min i use the flag to play limbo rock.
lol. i missed those times... played wif water... being thrown up in the air was cool.
then there was 2 casualties during campfire. both also sent to hospital. one suspected
ankle facture. one bee sting. haiz. then i felt kinda guilty cos it was ez to link
up as division leaders not able to control the crowd. but hey the injuries occurred
even before they started going wild. i cut back on controlling them cos its really a
mood-killer but i did ensure their safety. U think i wan my charlies to get injured meh?
after topping the casualty list?
lots of memories... every1 in msn now 'charlie' sure appear. i so glad i have
'breakthrough' juz like my sec sch motto. did things tt i nvr imagine i could. wld
like to thank the charlies. they made it possible. they surprised me...
still remember a few incidents:
when hotel division did the same cheer as us, i juz anyhow say 81, then they all
started chanting '81...81...81...', i almost freaked out. then during campfire,
everytime they hear hotel, they go '81...81...' if not, 'go geylang go... go geylang go'.
lol. then taught them the cheer:
do we look as if we care, dont care, heck care
do we look as if we care, we dont give a damn
we dont give a damn, we dont give a damn
do we look as if we care, we dont give a damn
then they practically sang to whenever they feel like. so when we didnt win the best
division, they auto sing that cheer. glad that they like my mass dance...
accidentally in love.
so much emotions. cant pen them down. sum up. its the BEST camp with the BEST pple.
so hyper u cant imagine. so many leaders u cant imagine. new friendships made. unmistakable.
break the meter le. really. best camp i ever had. maybe the involvement and the
emotional attachment i had. having camp hangover now... missed chem and bio test today.

Yeah... today did something that my tutor has something to write in my testimonial...
i was super enthu for the AJ Race. (something like Amazing Race) Almost late for
school cos the auntie locked the back gate at 725!!! i had to run all the way frm
the back gate to the front to beat the 730 clock. then when i joined the class, some
of my (yucks) classmates were like 'hey u are here!' and another few were like 'ey,
you nvr pon today har?' -_- so pissed with them. they seriously dunno when to joke.
oh ya they can get very lame with a capital L... laughing at their own jokes at times.
oh ya, cos i did research on the three places we were supposed to go. RI, Scouts HQ
and YCK Mrt Station. Haiz. the RI boys in my class dunno wat the medallions in the
crest were wat and given to who... my pd tutor was like pengz... then they asked qns
like name 4 of the politicians who were ex RI boy. Then in scouts HQ same thing
happen. the scouts didnt know completely why the building was name after the guy.
but ok la. normally we dun put too much attn to history. and somemore its like 1-2
yrs since they stepped into RI or remember history of scouts movement. not like rck.
lol. if only they go RC HQ. :P then we managed to rush to the mrt and wat i researched
came out! like the number of cars in the trains. 6. biggest and smallest mrt stations
: raffles place and redhill. how many stations are elevated, underground and name
the station that is on ground level. 34. 16. bishan :]
but we were close enuff... we got 6th while they gave prizes to top 5 :(
but had gd food. every1 was full.. we shot class video... cool :]

today quite bo liao.. went to skss actually wan to get my trophy back but ms goh
so bz... shld have gone to punggol and see my kids... lol. then went to kallang
stadium super early... thot its free seating then can first come first serve... in
the end no... they packed everyone to the back then filled up to the front. i wanted
to sit in front so i could see RC cadets march in... i think muz sit in green sector
then can have better view... i was in blue. scary experience.
All the fireworks were behind me... and the aircraft.. i thot i went deaf... starting
asked us to wave the flag... so paiseh.. pple ard me also nvr do... i juz took out
the shaker can and juz shook it... quite a few gadgets... got one torch like exactly
like nokia 3220. i fooled my sis wif it. lol.
the show was great... the cadets get to do more things than me when i was in ndp 01.
we have to run out of the stadium... they can do some marching and stuff then run.
somemore wear gloves and no nid to carry bag. sitting there alone, i came out wif
some stuff i wanna achieve for NDP:
firstly, i haf been in a parade when i was a cadet.
secondly, i haf attended NDP as audience
next, i hope i can get to perform during NDP
and also to be instructor for NDP.
its really fun...
oh ya.. a lot of pple actually left after the fireworks... can understand la cos
later gena jam like siao... i was a victim... oh they gave out umbrellas to those
at the back cos all the fireworks stuff, they scared it may land on the audience.
i saw a few trying to bring the umbrella home but were stopped by the officers. lol
so malu... and kiasu. everything also wan to take... when a few pple opened the
unmbrella... i heard some aunties saying... how come they got umbrella... ladies,
they are for protection... not part of the fun pack. u are not 'loo-gee-ed.' aka

i was stuck at the overhead bridge for abt 20 mins.. very long. packed like
sardines... then i weave thru the crowd and walked so fast that i think i shld join
the big walk next year... my legs are tired... gotta retire liao... oh ya,

30.07.04, Friday ~ Hyped factor: 5/10
sian... today the PE teacher harped on why i kept poning PE and i got 6 make-up PE...
i think only freaky AJ got such thing as make up PE. damn. then the whole class have
to do 6 push up for me. told the teacher i got MC for them, he still said 'i dont care'
haiz... sorry 06 guys! tennis was so sian... we ended up picking balls and learning
how to serve rather than playing a game...
today super unproductive... i spent one period reading newspaper. and another period
trying to start the first tutorial qn on complex number but after the period still
couldnt do. haiz. my maths really sucked. the revision lectures now i having helped
me a lot today... integration...
dunno why today i felt like sharing wif u guys an incident that happened to me... hope
my parents wont get to see this blog. lol. it was kinda stupid and silly of me...
still remember last yr ard this time... 12 august. i got my new phone. N6610. and
plus that 2-year plan... then during the sept holidays which is the first week, i
lost it... lol. only used it for 2 weeks... i totally freaked out that time...
no fone how to survive... then something even unluckier struck.
i was chatting online one day.. feeling bored. then i came across this guy who had
a great hp deal... he was in overseas.. but working in Nokia Phillipines... he sent
his working pass and address of his branch to me... muz say one look they looked so
real. we discussed several details... the fone i was interested in tt time was
N7250i. it was going for 400 bucks. first sign to me: it was strangely cheap. but
he told me that the company gave him the sample fone and he had a better fone so
he wanted to sell it. ok dumb of me to take that. then he went to 'fedex' to settle
the shipping of the fone and sent me a copy of the shipping receipt. it was scanned
-_- stupid of me. then i had to go to the post office to send the money thru
western union i think... i called his 'office' and there was a receptionist to
link to his line... and i actually believed it cos it sounded real. i called the fedex
and they told me i have to wait for a few hours before they are able to check the
invoice.
at the post office counter, i sensed something amiss... on the computer i saw the
guy's name... it was dated in dec... i hesistated. it meant that someone sent him
money last time but it was even more. then dunno wat the hell i was thinking... i
thot it might have been another deal he made earlier? then after i have sent the
money, i called to check wif fedex and they told me to call back a little later cos
they couldnt find the invoice... i started to freak out. i called the post office to
try stopping the money transfer but the manager said it wasnt possible. then she
asked me who i sent the money to. then when i told her the name, she was shocked.
she told me such cases happened and she believed that it was a scam. she asked me to
make a police report. can tell u i almost black out. now not only i lost the phone
i still lose $ and have to clear the 2-yr plan. it was definitely a cherry on top
of the sucky year spent in AJ also.
i kept thinking abt the incident and almost knocked down by the car. cold night.
alone in the bus... kept thinking how stupid i was... had to wait for quite long to
make a police report cos dunno why so many pple in the police station...
haiz... pple can do anything when they are desperate... juz like for me and tt guy.
when he needs money he will do anything... i think he spent a few hours convincing
me... cos i was reluctant at first to believe him. but i think i was more desperate
in getting the phone than him to get money... so ya. but learnt an impt lesson
for 400 bucks... :( lucky its my own money. if its my parents. i wld have let them
down...
This links me to a GP essay question:
Things that are free are not always good. Do you agree?
quite close but true.
P.S: btw fyi, there's no Nokia Phillipines. Nokia doesnt even have a branch in
Philippines... i checked online while chatting wif tt guy but cldnt find and i wondered
why i overlooked this point.

28.07.04, Wednesday ~ Hyped factor: 4/10
Today thot it would be a happy day... firstly i managed to avoid temptation to pon
lectures... i attended 2 that my friends pon-ed. *clap*
Second learning mass dance for nat camp made me feel so good *clap* again.
then came home, horror came...
during my maths tut, my tutor asked, 'did your dad say to you anything after he called
me?' i was like hell no, lucky... but wasnt lucky after all... the mass dance and
national camp briefing ended about 10pm then its at police academy so i wld take
abt 1 hr to reach home. when i stepped into the house...
'give me the number of the person in charge for red cross.' my dad shouted.
i was stunned... but i knew i had it coming... worse, my mum was at the kitchen and
heard it... me no choice haf to give... i explained tt i went for nat camp stuff at
PA.. he was like a woodblock , 'red cross go PA for wat.' -_- erm... now i noe where
my stupidity comes from... sorry to say such things but they are driving me to the
edge, though they are caring for me... my grandma was worse. she relates red cross as
nurses' job doing the 'dirty' stuff and advised my parents not to let me go. i cant
tell her cos my dialect not too good, my parents are more concerned wif me being
too involved in red cross... say i never study tts why i keep failing... where were
they when i studied every break i have in the library. where were they when i practising
my maths, where were they when i compile notes. my mum said 'your uncle last time
in JC also dun come back so late...' oh pur...lease... my uncle tt was like ages ago.
now go into uni not only talk abt results... also abt leadership and other skills.
yes i noe i nid to tone down but i making an effort to cover more grounds for the
time i used for red cross... i can tell you, even some people who dun haf cca, also
idle their time away... i have a few friends who dont have anything in june, yet
they scored even worse than me... ok now u may say i shld compare with pple who do
well... its hard to have both ways. now i am feeling guilty to be enthusiastic...
i cant do wat i like and now forced to juz study... definitely no motivation.
Of course i noe i nid to cut down on CCA, i noe my As are coming, i noe results are
important... no nid to tell me that. i noe pple saying that for my own gd... i
appreciate it but i dont work this way... i've all along been independent in my
learning and now suddenly got pple take charge and ask me to do this, i cant get
used to... i have plans for myself be it when to study or wat... all i need is room
to breathe, not 'hey your As coming you still not studying?'
wats more maddening, my super fat arse tutor went to add oil to fire... told my dad
all abt me in the wonderful 1.5 yrs in AJ. naturally poning sch link to red cross
equals bad results... my dad was like 'dun think i dunno wat u do in sch' ok my
a-lot-of-mc thing was blown up. My mum heard it, became furious, not surprising.
Both became PA system blasting at me. saying 'we pay school fees for you to study
not do other silly stuff' lol. i still managed to laugh. in blog now of course.
spoke like machine gun... threatening me wif some many things tt i lost count.
deep inside me i wanted to shout it out, but only made matters worse. so i juz kept
quiet. tt feeling could have killed me or burst my vessel. my pd tutor speaks his
mind, so as usual he detested my attitude, well he muz have a gd time telling
how bad i was and he can jolly well juz keep threatening me to withhold my testimonial.
then after my parents finished blasting me.. they quarrelled among themselves. so
loud i think the whole block can hear... heard my dad said ' aiya stupid is stupid
try so hard to study to get gd results for wat.' hey that was for me though :]
i wld be stupid to get upset abt it... my own future at stake, so wat if my results
not gd, at least i keep trying to improve myself. and they aint the best parents
anyway and plus they like to dive at things, not finding out from me wats my point
of view.
haha. i wont be surprised if my dad calls HQ tml and dun allow me go Nat camp... but
i will still go at all costs. but i've to proof back wif my results.
oh ya forgot to tell u, today my wonderful pd tutor arrowed me twice. first asking
me during GP some current affairs thing and made me so embarrassed... when there
are actually a lot of pple who dunno. i'm just unlucky. Then when someone called
me during class, i had to cancel call... kena 'john, stop playing with your phone'
haiz... why am i so unlucky?
ok now i felt better after venting my anger...
some stuff i mentioned were in the fit of anger so pls forgive :]
now i have lost the drive to study. damn.

27.07.04, Tuesday ~ Hyped factor: 6/10
Wah today during bio tut almost got caught for not going lectures... my tutor
was asking qns wif regards to the lectures and happened to ask the 3 of us and we
were blur... then she asked 'did u all go for lectures?' and we all nodded. phew.
Went to sent off angeline, law sir, shirley mdm (NG, lol) and a few other cadets to
korea... gosh i felt tt urge to go korea... haiz... exchange programme at low cost
so tempting... when i wake up later, i think they would have reached seoul.
so sad at dinner... kena dumped behind... hump. was pretty angry at tt time...
well watever reason, the main priority is to send pple off at the airport anything
else u can take ya own transport... so maddening... arghz. nvm... at least i was
fed with durians... not too awkward at least.
then when i came home, my greatest fear of the week came. my mum was screaming and
shouting at me.. why? cos city harvest sent me a letter... i think she really
cant come to terms tt i am going to a church. she's perhaps not ya typical persuade-
then-ok mum. she's super stubborn and unreasonable. open my letter w/o my permission
and still can say 'i'm your mum, i have the right to know wats going on.' thats
the worst sentence i can hear. nothing to debate or its gonna be hell. she also said
something very silly and childish... 'no wonder u so havoc now and defying me, going
to a church when u are a buddhist' i could laugh straight at her face. sometimes
i wonder if my other 'not-so-educated' aunties misled her... or she's simply turning
senile... some things she said dont make sense...
haha... by these 2 sentences i think u guys shld noe wat i have to go thru...
been trying so hard to talk logic into her... hump... now i so tired of talking.
juz let it be... i dun wanna have hypertension at such an early age.
Yeah today i fulfilled my goal to study chem... later i hope i can read up my bio :]

ok how could i forget to blog this... lol. silly me. my dearest tutor sent me this
msg:
'i have decided to withhold your testimonial if you keep absenting yourself. Consider
your testimonial withheld. Your parents are to come next sat.'
lol. great. here's wat my friend, the top student have to say:
'walau, whats his problem man! he dared to use your testimonial to threaten you.
idiot la he... he jealous you dun have fats dats why always humtum you i guess."
rock on. :]
well here's wat i msg him:
'i got MC and will pass to you on Mon, thank you for your concern'
No reply from him... lol
Haiz juz cannot understand why other classmates who pon more than me produce parents'
letter can already while he only accepts MCs from me.
well for now, i shall attend mon class cos its half day! and i only have 1 tutorial
2 lectures and 5 breaks. talk abt efficiency.

juz now the blog entry was kinda rushed cos i only got 15 mins to pen my thoughts
down then rush to lavender. public first aid was fun, this time most were fast
learners and asked a lot of questions... really had to learn how to be tactful.
ok back to chc. ya must agree that they spend quite a lot for the church. and they
announced today that the church would be 'WI-FI' means wireless internet connection
is now available. And after service, every1 gets free hotdogs and ice creams. not
trying to say that they spend money the wrong way but chc really amazed me. i dunno
la but seems like a lot of people may say that the money can be put to better use to
help the poor. But then again, isnt the case similar to the NKF? but then again,
pple gave small donations and could still see the spread of God's messages and
people ard them benefitting and yet under the 'comfort' of the church, why not?
moreover, some may argue that sun can still remain as a pastor's wife but how much
can she do? by going global, she can spread God's love to greater heights. Today
they showed us the video of sun setting up new schools or churches (oops sorry
i forgot) in two provinces in China. Then again, this money spent is worthwhile.
Perhaps those 'comfort' largely come from sun's donations?
anyway enough of religion debate, having a headache... my friend asked me whether
to join her cell group. ooo... headache... i'll then have people calling me
for activties. BUT going for services and cell group meeting is to find out
and learn more abt the religion but then i know its not right to be a christian
behind my parents' back. arghz... so vexed. I cant ask God for help. cos i will get
2 answers... then i stumped upon a statement:
When our relationship with God is not right, it causes problems in every area of
our lives: marriage, career, relationships, finances, health, et cetera. But worst
of all, sin has an eternal consequence...
I think i'm at the stage of curiosity... i think i am interested in going for
services to make connections and know more friends and at the same time learn gd
teachings and values. But are all that possible if i am not a christian? I always
thot religion is supposed to give spiritual and emotional support but do i really
have to 'label' myself as a christian? Haiz, any christians wanna enlighten me?
well today i learnt the ABCs to salvation by prayer:
A-dmit that you are a sinner and need to repent
B-elieve in your heart that Jesus Christ died to pay for your sins and He is alive today
C-onfess Jesus Christ as Lord and invite Him to come into your life.
mmm...

Yo... today was my first church service (correct term?) juz came back, feeling
alive... kinda a renewed me... erm. lucky my fren called me this morning, almost
missed the shuttle bus... guess which church i went to? lol. It doesnt look like
a typical church i had in mind... the building is in jurong ... very far. so crowded
pple were queuing and gathering like going for a concert. When i looked at the
directory, i was shocked! the auditorium was in B4! omg. and it has 4 levels up.
A building made of titanium. cool. by then u shld have guessed which church rite?
still no? its auditorium is like an indoor stadium. with so high tech equipments.
amazed i must say. but then again its city harvest church wat do u expect?
The service started off with singing great songs... i dunno how but i juz clapped
along. it was really nice that i started singing along. its not those typical hymns
more like pop songs... Had a great time, came to know abt cell group, salvation,
bible studies and way of living. every service got words of wisdom. today was abt
dreams by Rev. Kong Hee. husband of ho yeow sun.
D-esire: desire wat u want to achieve
R-esearch: on wat possibilities that you have
E-nterprise: something abt not afraid to stand up after you fall
A-ssociation: associate with other dreamers
M-astery: muz be armed with a skill
I only felt a bit uneasy during the donation part, but it wasnt compulsory so i
guess i am just trying to get used to it. Pple there were friendly. and frequent
mentioned abt ho yeow sun whom they referred to sun. Pple made confession or rather
reflections abt their lives or overseas trips. Then the service ended with
announcement that sun was pregnant. and i was brought to the front of the stage
as newcomer to receive blessing...
but i was feeling a bit uneasy cos i am a 'born' buddhist so my parents wouldnt
actually allow me to go for services or even be a christian. But i enjoyed
going to the services. haiz... so vexed. its a bad time to worry abt religion now.
especially with piling revision work. I guess so long i am not baptized i'm ok.
Am i allowed to pray to 2 'Gods'? if its so vexed, i rather be a free thinker. haiz.
Ok, now i gtg, got to teach public first aid leh :] hehe.

14.07.04, Wednesday ~ Hyped factor: 7/10
Today's blog theme is 'TV Day' . I got lots to talk abt but hey muz start frm
this morning. ya. daily routine.
Forgot to bring tie today again. or shld i say it has become a conditioned reflex. lol.
and once again i muz stress that i like sch. haha. maybe fat arse didnt bother or
harass me these days. He has been taking lots of MC. one of the most among the teachers,
pregnant ones. lol. muz be influenced by pple like me... and ya i think i have the
sleeping disease. dunno why everytime during break i feel like sleeping, 15 mins into
the break when i am NOT eating of course. slept during 3 breaks. first break
study bio then sleep, second break read GP then sleep. last break do maths then sleep.
Came home today and had a nap. now feeling alive! oh ya btw i get to see my two
deltarians in NatCamp :]
Back to TV, who says watching TV is no good. today i watched 2 programmes and learnt
a lot. first was the reality TV, amazing race.
hey dun get turned off yet. haven get into the real stuff. This season the contestants
get really ugly, not their looks but their behaviour. Some stuff they mentioned, are
worth taking note. Firstly, fear brings out the worst in people i muz really
agree to it. The fear of losing has made teams rejoycing at each other's mishaps or
mistakes. Some even went out to lie and deceive pple. Just like the 'bowling mums'
who went to tell the military dad and daughter they had to change to foreign currency
where the citizens there actually accept US currency. All this just to stall time so
that the bowling mums wont be last. But hey in the end they got retribution. then
there were more than one team saying 'ihope not everyone gets here in time' 'i am
hoping one team does not get on(the ship) so we can take a break.' ' dont wait for
them!' See with these people ard, who needs enemies?
Then when they were at Uruguay, one of the team (Marshall and Lance, names not impt,
juz recognise them as jerks) asked the locals for directions and when they didnt know,
the guys said 'All the people there were... wat. useless. useless foreigners' ouch.
Lesson 2: Ask, dont assume
One of the tasks was to go find a tombstone in the cemetary. But there were many in
Argentina (second place they went to). Some of the teams got the wrong name of the
cemetary and when they board the taxi, they didnt bother to ask the cab driver whether
the correct tombstone can be found in the cemetary. They were supposed to go to
Recoleta but Charcarita popped up cos it was the tomb of the husband of the lady, where
in fact they are supposed to find a tomb of an impt lady (forgot her name).
second incident: during a 'detour' when they get to choose to do one task out of two.
There was task 'Perro' or 'Tango'. Perro refers to dogs, in which the task is to walk
the 8 dogs for a mile and pass checkpoints. the two teams they chose it gave up in the end
cos they couldnt find the checkpoints. So many passers-by were standing there and they
didnt even bother to ask for help. haiz. in real life, i face this kinds of problems too.
when pple need help, they dont ask. or rather dunno for wat reason, they cant seem to
open their mouth to ask for help. Well, i nid help i will ask. haha. so pple ard me,
beware. haha. oh ya one of the teams led a group of dogs where by 2 were trying to have
sex. haha. humping along the way. one of the team member 'here i am lost and i got
dogs fucking in front of me'. lol... reality does have its funny twist!
still got incidents where teams quarrel among themselves. its quite common. but hear
this 'if you wont blonde, you wouldnt be tt stupid' ouch.
this week the team that got eliminated was due to the fact that they tried to save
money -_- they had enough money to take taxi but they chose to take the bus. haiz.
Next TV Programme that made me finish my maths tutorial after 2 hrs was the 'Animal World'
where they had an episode on Black Mamba (one of the world's most toxic snake in
southern africa. Its really scary cos the snakes were hatched near homes of civilians.
Imagine finding snakes at your home.. eeks. moreover the new-born snakes are as long
as normal adult snakes and they are equally venomous as an adult.
They grow to 4m when they are adults. Then there was this ranger who helped household
catch these poisonous snakes, caught 5 out of 10 at a house where the kids are
running about. wah. phew.
The show also had 3 real life incidents with the snakes. It started off saying pple
in the area believed that the snakes which are capable of moving at 19km/hr can chase
its victims over 200m. wah tats half the track. Then this ranger is out to 'save' the
snakes and trying to educate the people to overcome their fear. He also did an
experiment showing that the snakes bite humans only during self defence. He collected
abt 3ml of venom and said this could have killed at least 5 or 6 people. from then on,
i was glued to the TV. haha.
Then it flashed to a second incident, whereby this guy had finished his water skiing
trip. he got bitten by the snakes among the bushes and collasped to the floor. then
they showed how the venom spreads.. haha. juz like wat i learnt in biology. can fully
relate to what they meant by blocking the receptors at the postsynaptic membranes
and disallowing synaptic transmission to pass through. hence causing paralysis.
that guy was really unlucky. he had to be carried by a boat to the shore opposite for
15 mins. then when a helicopter arrived, they realised that it was too small for the
2m tall man. so wasted another 20 mins to get another helicopter. then the helicopter
had no anti-venom medication. juz when i was thinking tt the guy may not have made it,
they flashed to another incident where this guy got bitten by the Black Mamba and
almost didnt survive. He got bitten in his lab and he was allergic to the anti-venom
medication but in the end he gad no choice but to inject tt into himself. then the
combination of the venom and the medication caused him to fall into coma. he remembered
he had enlargement of pupil but could not move his eyeballs. hence, the doctor thot he
was brain dead. he was dependent on the life support machines. however the doctor
decided to final the last check and decided to remove the life support. that guy couldnt
move but deep down he fought hard as he wanted to tell the doctor he was still alive.
then the day when the nurse had to remove the machines, he lifted his finger. heng.
that saved him.
Commercial break
Do you know that a single bee travels to 2 million flowers to make 500g of honey?
then they flashed back to the first incident and the guy survived! due to the
anti-venom medication in the hospital. then they flashed to the thrid guy who was
involved in the discovery of anti-venom drugs. The third guy got bitten by 22 poisonous
snakes in his pursuit of improving athe anti-venom drugs. He lost 3 fingers, had stiff
eyelids and a hard time to close his eyes, thick and enlarged tongue, difficulty in speaking and swallowing. He was bitten by the Black Mamba 4 times. wow and he lived to
tell the stories...
The show ended by dispelling that the snakes attack humans when they actually attack
under self defence. i loved the last sentence the narrator said, 'Black Mamba. Its
legend is truly larger than life' cool way to end the show. lol.
i truly enjoyed these 2 shows... better than watching some drama... ok enuff for
today. now 2am liao. die.

Haiz. today woke up feeling so tired.. dunno why. perhaps yesterday was too hectic.
So long since i have slpet for more than 8 hours. i slept at 1 am and woke up at 12pm
today. went online, no one. sian. facing a pile of homework, cant help feeling sucky
and screwed.
Today thought of several weird stuff...
still remember when i was sec 3... the period of time was the most memorable. cos my
results plunged like siao. failed a few subjects and ended up 9th in class. Teachers
were shocked. class were shocked too. while some were 'happy' abt it. This feeling kinda
linked to wat i feeling now... but i believe if i start to change my attitude towards
sch, its not too late... juz like when i was having my sec 4 prelim, i went up again.
that was one of my most happiest time. got into my favourite JC.
well, i remembered stupid things i did. lol. like during sec 3, went to watch a midnight
show then ended abt 230am. no bus. so my two friends and i decided to walk
along the expressway. from tampines to sk. cos nowhere to go if we were to wait
for the first bus. wah, the night breeze was chilling. haha. dunno wat i say this for? but
anyway juz thot of it so i juz type it in.
intermission: my friend msged me telling me she gonna pon tml! lol.
oh ya, she is one of the rarest friend i ever see. ever so enthu like me to pon, but
hey she tops the class like nobody business. scary. every test. aiya, we already noe
who's the top liao. lol. really tt zai. well i really haf to start studying seriously.
oh ya, why every1 now want to go to the beach? dunno leh. maybe i not tt romantic kind,
but i dun get a gd vibe from going beaches. lol. dunno why.
my mind is in a whirl. i still thinking abt yesterday's event. oh ya, forgot to thank
our Red Cross PRO photographer... Ms Shirley Seah Chairman of IWC(instrutors'
welfare committee) haha...
yeah, shall tok abt fri stuff... haha. sorry i very disorientated now. now PE teacher
changed. yeah. hope the sadistic teacher remains. haha. cos he made us do a lot of
chin up and running. which i like... floorball was so tiring. arghz. ran my heart out.
hopefully tue no afternoon pe... i am beginning to like the sch. dunno why. perhaps
fat arse nvr 'disturb' me ... ok, shu hui, weishan and siyun, be prepared to see a
mugger!haha.
oh yeah, tml going hq to settle all the comments made during the competition and
to do hand in my report for the event to be put up in the webpage. :] till then, adieu.
P.S: i'm hungry...

10.07.04, Saturday ~ Hyped factor: 10/10
ha. cant blame me for being happy... well today is current affairs comp 2004
my second last event. well muz start talking from morning...
today had listening compre... was so much easier than last yr. so happy
kinda idiotic la. ask us to assemble by 9am then the exam starts at 930. rush
down straight away after the paper.
preparation was a bit hectic and scary... forget this forget tt. and cadets nid to
load up presentation, be briefed, and lots of things to do. but all was over very quickly.
then was so happy to see andy and jianfu sir later jorin mdm and joel sir
gracing my event. nvr felt any happier for pple to support u... then when i told
the cadets abt the Q&A part, they were freaking out... lol *evil*
To me, the most exciting part actually is the Q&A part. really test them to think on
thier feet and relate to RC issues, not juz memorising the presentation. its far more
useful than spilling out all the RCK at infoquiz. Was glad that Mr Lau (director of RCY) and
Mr Andrew Ong (Asst director, districts) were impressed with the format of
the competition. They both gave me very useful advice which i can use it to plan
other competitions. but hey tt would be like another 2 yrs later. sadz...
I felt more excited for the cadets during the results. lol.
Champion: Raffles Institution
1st Runner-Up: Cedar Girls'
2nd Runner-Up: Seng Kang Sec
Best Presenter: Kartik Mohan Das, RI
Well... didnt expect Seng Kang to be the dark horse... mmm... 1st ever national award.
well. they are on the way to get EUA silver. lol. Gold ar, muz wait for a few more yrs...
i can foresee that next yr so lots more school joining, after watching this yr's event.
Haiz. hope can come back next yr, sit in and ,maybe repackage the event again. muz
add more excitement. :]
Had dinner at breeks! yeah. nice.
and someone keep teasing abt my left red eye -_- i'm going give him a black one.
ooo.. talking abt my eyes, muz take off my contacts. lol. didnt take em off yesterday.
oops.

terror... got back my maths paper but quite expected that la. only usse less than a
week to practice and study. haiz. but i always give myself excuse... haiz. when am
i going to improve?
the tutor gave our class her long speech abt our class performance. actually directed
to those who didnt pass la. so guilty... haiz. somemore our class got highest passing
rate among the cohort... feels bad to always contribute to the failure side. She kept
stressing on the fact that only 2 mths left and we shld distribute our time wisely
for those topics we are unsure and spot trends in test papers to secure 'basic' marks
which is very true...
prac maths now doesnt mean to try every sum... but to see how each question is asked
and grp those similar question together. ya... wah. today she enlighten me... shall
work hard!
but hey. today got bio tutorial.. wan us to finish up the 2 essays... and GP do wat
essay plan... now 0014. arghz... no nid to sleep liao.
btw i want to learn driving... but checked wif my friend. so ex.. 60 bucks per
practical. and i nid to attend 25 of THEM.. arghz... still got theory and tests.
add up to 1500+. wah spore really trying to discourage pple frm driving...
anyway, shall get back to work.
maths confirmed F
chem confirmed passed (yeah)
oh ya. amazing race was cool. but damn the nice guy team eliminated. haiz.
he offered taxis in front of him to every1 else. diao. cos at the airport he
held up the queue and every1 called him scumbag so he wan to make it up.
but hey, doesnt pay... and every1 so selfish, dun wanna help or chat wif e dwarf.
but its for a million bucks. tts some reality show!

06.07.04, Tuesday ~ Hyped factor: 4/10
hell at CMPB
ok. time to bitch. but guys dun normally dun bitch. but watever. here goes.
i am 'utterly' worried abt our country's military defence. see how they run medical
checkups in CMPB(central manpower base) can vomit blood. Kinda poor organisation.
ok, so they may be able to fight well, but just cant stand wat they put me and
some others thru. ARGHZ
I reached CMPB at 0915 when my checkup is scheduled at 1000. Took train to redhill
then TAXI to CMPB... so INACCESSIBLE... got bus but muz walk so far. i rather spend
tt 3.50 to get there. Then i kinda lost my orientation... dunno where to head. then
there are a few officers who juz stood there looking at me. er, hello, i looked lost
obviously... then i decided to go ask them but got a blunt reply 'hey boy where are u
going?' tt kind of tone like as if i carried a bomb. but told myself nvm, its juz part
of the firm 'military' style.
The first station i went was to take a photograph for the SAF identity card. damn. i
overlooked tt part. haiz. my frenz nvr tell me... i looked shagged and wif those messy
hair, gosh, another card for pple to laugh at after the ez link and IC.. haiz... but
putting on the biege/brown uniform kinda cool. [ok i forgot wat i'm going to say. so
many msn pop-ups. arghz!!!]
Then went to the main waiting area, wah so many AJCians... lol... was quite fast cos
i registered at 0925 and got to my first checkup routine at 0927. And tt was it for the
short waiting time... then dunno why after the hearing test, they send every1 for
blood test... i mean... there are 5 stations other than the 'dick' test. Shouldnt
they distribute? We already know have to go through 6 stations... making us follow the
mainstream really waste a lot of time. i can see the X-ray rooms and eye check room were
fairly vacant. but instead every1 had to go for the blood and urine test.
'Pee on all the colours' i almost laughed. tts the urine test strip if u noe wat it is.
Some were like quite stunned. And i find tt many got probs doing it in the urinals...
all fight to go cubicles -_- and jam the place up. so many urinals dun wan. see, thats
monkey see monkey do.
then for blood test, shoutings were going on asking pple to fill up the empty seats.
tt station went fairly well... spent abt 15 mins there. the 'doc' (i supposed) who
took my blood test asked have you done this b4? i was taken aback. erm, i told him
'ya, i did but by u its first time' lol. he thought for a while then laugh. erm ok.
shows that drawing my blood and registering wat i am saying is hard. and he asked the
next question which made me almost fall off my chair. 'So when did you do ya blood test'
but he was a really nice guy la. probably trying to make me feel more comfortable.
'when i went to make my IC and blood donation, ya' he was like 'orh. gd...' and its
not OVER! 'You know what i am testing your blood for?' laugh now. i answered
sheepishly, 'erm, it says here glucose and haemoglobin level. and G6PD deficiency' i
pointed to the small chart in front of US... Finally its done. pple behind me must be
wondering i muz haf lots of blood disorder. cos most pple is sit-poke-finish.
then went along with the mainstream to the dental. and the lady inside so rude. refuse
to take my file. kept saying 'pls put your bag outside'. i mean. i am in front of u,
cant u take the file first then i go put my bag? diao -_-" dental check was fast. doc
was as usual rough, digging into my teeth. ok came out saw the list PES A. erm. no
comments.
next every1 proceeded to the very empty X-ray rooms. Make us pose like a chicken then
next thing i knew. gamma rays have destroyed my cells. lol. looked at the clock it was 1015 :] cool. quite fast huh. bullshit
then the maddening thing. after waited for like 20 minutes, 'John Chen'... are u wearing
contacts? i nodded. doomed 'pls take out your contacts'. not too bad, they gave
me a temp casing. but what made me angry was: i juz sat outside, vision blurred.
wondering wat happened... i wasnt told anything... pple frm behind the queue were all in
front of me and into last station. then i overheard the lady say 'oh haf to wait another
30 mins'. damn. those who wore contacts have to wait for 30 mins before they take our
vision... haiz. i mean come'on, you could have asked us to take out at the start of the
medical checkup or at least when we put our files, tell us to remove. wait until our
turn then tell us. in the end wasted abt an hr in tt station. i was in the middle pack
and i became the last few. Then final 'dick test' wait was agonising... haf to do ECG,
then so long queue. i was the 95th person and the board flashed 30+. Juz a 30-min
wait escalated to more than an hour wait. if u were me, u also will fume. i was PES A
all the way, until i told the doc i experienced sudden chest pain due to contractions.
(and its true ok!) and in the end i was PES B!!! haha. actually same as PES A.
then measure uniform and boots and sport shoes! lol. after that horror befell.
VOCATIONAL ASSESSMENT. tt guy told me, pls go have your lunch and come back at 2pm.
it was 1pm then. wanted to haf lunch wif shannen, angeline they all. haiz. in the end,
waited wif an empty stomach cos i dun feel like eating. then i see pple who registered
later than me... going in to do the test... arghz... its a 2 hr test somemore. mental
torture. i did very fast.. rushed thru' dun think i did very well but who cares, give
me the job i juz do for 2 yrs the most.
then the most malu thing happen. it was raining heavily. i actually slip and fell and
'butt-hopped' the whole flight of stairs. OMG. hurts... i tried to stop by holding the
steps. but too slippery... now my wrist hurts.. arghz. wat a day! but lucky i was among
the last. so no1 to see how i fall. and my shorts was soaked... eww... taxi back to mrt
was so cold.. travelling by MRT was freezing...
Today sucked. To think i look forward to it cos no sch today and tt fat arse wan me to
produce letter. i am going to fight wif him tml... so many AJCians there nvr ask
for letter, why must i? always think i wanna pon. lucky today got 4 periods of GP i
werent there. if not it would sucked more than today. bleahz.
lessons learnt:
1. Prepare enough money to take taxi. Not worth walking.
2. Make sure you do up your hair.
3. Always hand in the file when u reach the station. Dun happy happy stand there and
wait. fight to give the file first.
4. Know whats 'pee on all colours' and practice using an urinal.
5. Put your bag before you enter the dental department. The AUNTIE dun like ur bag.
6. Place your two hands on your hip like a chicken for the X-ray test.
7. Dun wear contacts that day. but if nid to take out early!
8. Train your body up. u dun wan to look unfit among the 100+ half naked bodies
walking around.
9. Shoes get a bigger size. Dun forget you are wearing socks too.
10. Hand in your form early to get an early slot for the vocational assessment.
Your mind has to be super clear. And answer questions fast!!!
lol. this shld be the 10 guidelines for CMPB medical checkup to prevent hiccups.

23.06.04, Wednesday ~ Hyped factor: 5/10
arghz. early morning read something so maddening. but hey, not many noe my
style of working. ya. perhaps shld gif some marks so easier to send a report.
well back to wat i'm up to lately. oh forgot to mention abt 12 june evac gold
accred. thot it was going to be tough but hey it was fun. ambulance drill...
making of improvised stretchers and moving across obstacles. during the
making of improvised stretchers, my partner was lugan. lol. so fun. lucky nvr get
lower than my cadet. phew. but pretty happy wif my score of 84.15 :]
next back to NDC from 18-20.
18.06.04, friday
Well cadets were late for camp... then instructors were rushed to ops rm so didnt
see what went on. starting as quite chaotic, especially the part 'no grounding of
cadets before lunch', then 'only DI can scold, the rest try and cut down' so even
maintain discipline is kinda hard.
today was a bz day for me. in charge of so many stuff... but nevertheless enjoyed
it la cos its all my fields of interest. day 1 had campcraft for 3 hrs, then rck
lecture an hr. then still got outdoor cooking for 2.5 hrs. schedule followed
quite tightly till night trek. it was real fun. the grp i in charge of finished
first and only one to complete. but hey some instructors didnt believe. thot me
and miao ling gif them hints. yes the grp want to win but they dun resort to
asking for hints from us k! dont underestimate the cadets.
19.06.04, saturday
2nd day i was the DI (duty instructor). after a hectic day, i woke up at 4.30am
went to bathe in super cold water. then wake up the rest. had flag raising. wei
shan was wif me also. so funny. [u noe why right? lol] Day 2 was crazy. going ECP
at 0630. then got campfire in the evening. a lot of unhappiness but later resolved.
before campfire, andy sir came and had a gd talk... then campfire prep was so
messy. I got a Day IC. erm dun wanna comment, the instructors shld noe. cant
scream at them before the campfire cos 'their morale is high'. so everything haf
to be in talking terms. so when i had to rush them, i told them to hurry up for
dunno so many times, but still i was told to hurry them.
but in the end managed to release my wrath on them. so angry... the whole day as DI
wah... for campfire had to help set up. set up bbq pit also. cook for instructors
who said they were hungry... in the end left only a few eating. the rest left there
nvr washed... understand how miao ling feels. i cook. we eat. i clean up. great :]
rely too much on the term IWC i think.
RCK accred haiz. disappointing. wanted to find out how to improve the paper and
the lesson so it will be more efficient. but hey following strictly to the time
was more impt. muz lights out at 2330. so muz end at 2300. Juz feel rather suppressed,
i noe wat i am doing. in the end i finished it at 2307. then in the end i was
told to tell them lights out at 0000 so they can study if they want. erm. at the
back giving me that 'wat are u doing? hurry up.' look for the 7 mins? haiz.
20.06.04, Sunday
yup last day doing evac was fun. realised they nid lots of polishing up. but best
part i think was when my 2 punggol cadets nominated for best campers together wif
the other 3. and they spoke up a lot during debrief. i so happy cadets can speak
up which is so hard to get nowadays.
after that went to bedok mac to eat. had so much laughter wif ys, eusoff,
wei shan, yuhui and shu hui [mini-me] yeah. left at 2130. reach home taking
the freezing bus 87.
21.06.04, Monday
slack.
22.06.04, Tuesday
yeah delta grp outing... so fun. was kinda late cos went to support indra's ISD
exhibition at bishan CC. ya he such a gd booth coordinator. explaining all
the stuff. got a left sore eye. did the usual 'OMG' stunt. took off the left
contacts. so i basically see things wif one eye. around the way in 80 days was
nice. pleasantly amusing not the super funny type. then went to TKGS campfire.
diamonds in the rough seems like the theme for yr 2001. was rather short. but
had a great time. chat up wif royce ya, knew him better. :]
Gee... so long nvr step into HQ. i miss the people.
(lol not angie, shannen. i mean annie and the aunties. haha) and my cup!

Well now abt the second camp... Camp Etoile... stars in french. yup. its actually
a sec one freshman camp... but i was pretty amazed by my punggol cadets.. when
they were late, they asked for permission to fall in... man, i feel gd abt being a VI.
despite some pple say tt i didnt train my new sec 3s hard enuff. to rub salt to wound,
they said, their sec 1s are better than my sec 3. i not the kind to bear grudges but
i believe they had to take back some words after they seen my 2 sec 3s performed
in ULP. juz imagine u send 2 sec 1s to ULP... having such performances, i'm very proud
of them... so wat they lack basic knowledge of FD, evac, FA and stuff. they are keen
in learning, shows leadership, a gd team player and most importantly, they speak up
and they haf initiative. tts wat i hate... comparing schs... for wat? to show how gd
u are as a VI?
anyway, lets bring down my blood pressure and tok abt the camp. the sec 1s really
amazed me... their level of urgency was thumbs up. and they are enthu... and i feel
that they are going to be great unit leaders next time... i wasnt tt gd when i was
sec 1... and some of them, their evac skills.. wow...
i muz also comment on the instructors... we juz break camp for ULP, went home
packed our stuff and had a gd night sleep, then next morning another camp. But we
had very gd cadet helpers who actually volunteered... seriously w/o them, the camp
wouldnt be so smooth. the instructors also broke their utmost limits. Most imptly,
i feel that the sec 1s had grown up. in terms of maturity and leadership. happy to
say we met our objectives. i believe our effort will pay off in a few years time
when they take over the units. :)

ok finally get to blog after more so so long... IWC chairman keeps track on
my blog progress so muz write something. lol. i juz came back from 2 camps
and 1 counting. i look at the date and find myself less than 2 weeks to
study for my midyr. haiz.
well. lets go way back to my memorable ULP (unit leader prog) camp. I looked
forward to this for a very long time. firstly it was my first time being a
group mentor. but hey i think all the grp mentors did a very good job. i am
very honoured to get such a challenging group. lol. well i seen them improving
after the first AOP. i got many late nights or rather mornings cos i slept like
4 am the week before camp. But hey it was all worth it. At least i'm proud to
say my grp shows the most improvement. But it really feels gd when they address
u sir and look up to you. I can swear i almost break down when the camp ended.
Seeing each grp how grateful they are to their mentors and how they expressed
their gratitude really a heart warming scene. well many seniors will say u wont
feel this if u experience it a few more years. well, we shall see... What hurts
most actually when u are grading them... had to be impartial... i still amazed
at myself.
But i fell sick at day 2 after the pulau ubin rescue mission. Muz be my throat
infection recurring... cos i supposed to finish my medication. but the week before
the camp, i was caught up wif meetings and stuff, forgot to eat. lol. i was
38.4 when i took my temperature... tt time i was die die i also dun wanna go home.
Not tt i was selfish to pass the fever to other pple but i really cant bear to
leave the camp and more because of my group. I know they faced lots of prob during
the planning part, i hope i can give them support for the execution part. I knew
my effort paid off when i sat down talking to them during the campfire. Seeing
the campfire they spent so much time and teamwork to build burn so smoothly. i'm
very proud of them for coming so far... Especially when they came back from ECP,
tired and still cheering... they actually wished me 'get well soon, sir' ALOUD.
oh tt few words melted my heart and i sweared tt was the last time i took panadols.
cos after coming back from pulau ubin, every four hours i had to take pills.
In the camp i was quite happy wif my performance, especially i did something extra
lol. that is to teach the link teachers basic campcraft after knowing some teachers
were tough nuts to crack. But everything went very well... we had a very interactive
session and i was able to deliver my first OA lesson. But hey my real wish is to be
able to deliver a lesson during ULP, to teachers... many things i cannot do because
of my rank... sometimes i think back.. mmm... missing two batches of ACOC... though
i made lots of friends now... but it can get restrictive... and UG goes by rank. so
at times cant help but feel a little old but doing the same thing... well in the
meantime i shall explore more things and make myself more flexible and adaptable.
learn more stuff, they sure come in handy... shall explore more ways to set up
campfire... hopefully to be all rounder. :)
but i pretty proud of myself to fight and go on despite i was sick. gosh, still
rem i had fever and sore throat... and the first breakfast was french toast...i
believe all is in the mind. if your will power is strong, u can pull thru no matter
how sick u are. Muz thank a lot of pple for showing care and concern... especially
IWC chairperson... lol. We seek to serve *salute* but sad leh, didnt get to be DI...
haiz... dunno when will be the next time...
Well for ULP camp, shall end my comments here... gosh, i miss my grp... lol.

I believe
Have you ever you ever reached a rainbow's end
And did you find your pot of gold
Ever catch a shooting star
Tell me how high did you soar
Ever felt like you were dreaming
Just to find that you're awake
Cause the magic that surrounds you
Will lift you up and guide you on your way
I can see it in the stars across the sky
Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize
See I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive
And finally yeah
I believe in the impossible
If I reach deep within my heart
Overcome any obstacle
Won't let this dream fall apart
See I strive to be the very best
Shine my light for all to see
Cause anything is possible
When you believe yeah
I can see it in the stars up in the sky
Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize
I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive
And finally I believe
Yes I believe
Ohh Yeah
Love keeps liftin me higher
Liftin me higher
Love keeps liftin me higher
I said love keeps liften
Love keeps liften me
I said Love keeps liften
Love keeps liften me higher
Said love keeps liften me higher
I said love keeps liften me high
Raindrops Will Fall
There's a time 4 every star 2 shine
And a place 4 every dream 2 see the light
When u have everything
U don't need another reason 2b something
Hold on, and look to your faith
Can't let nobody, nobody get in your way
Chorus
I walked thru the fire
Fought thru the ragin storm
Til I found the peace
That's inside of me
I've got 2 b strong
I stand 4 my dreams
I was made 4 this moment
Take me as I am
Or nothin at all
I'll keep holdin on
Raindrops will fall
Hold on and look to your faith
Don't let nobody, nobody get in your way
Chorus
I was taught not 2 run away
Cuz raindrops will always fall on your face
When it seems like all hope is gone
Gotta get thru the storm
B4 you can see the dawn
This is all I am
This is all I know
And I won't never ever let go
No I won't let go

I said love keeps liften

I said Love keeps liften
Love keeps liften me higher
Said love keeps liften me higher

Raindrops Will Fall
There's a time 4 every star 2 shine
And a place 4 every dream 2 see the light
When u have everything
U don't need another reason 2b something
Hold on, and look to your faith
Can't let nobody, nobody get in your way
Chorus
I walked thru the fire
Fought thru the ragin storm
Til I found the peace
That's inside of me
I've got 2 b strong
I stand 4 my dreams
I was made 4 this moment
Take me as I am
Or nothin at all
I'll keep holdin on
Raindrops will fall
Hold on and look to your faith
Don't let nobody, nobody get in your way
Chorus
I was taught not 2 run away
Cuz raindrops will always fall on your face
When it seems like all hope is gone
Gotta get thru the storm
B4 you can see the dawn
This is all I am
This is all I know
And I won't never ever let go
No I won't let go
