hohoho...went back to cj for volleyball frenly with our juniors to help prepare them for nationals.well,din expect my team to do pretty well despite haven seen one another to play together for a super long time.the teamwork was pretty ok which was pretty unexpected...the chemistry was surprisingly quite good too.managed to trash the juniors and demoralise them!well,it seems that im displaying my egoistic self~!im actually worried that if we dun win them,they'll just think that they're good and well prepared for the competition.actually,in their heart they must be cursing and swearing at us or even their own teammates for making mistakes and stuff.NO one likes to lose.i seriously hope they can actually treat this game as a wake up call for them to train even harder and treat things more seriously than what they have been doing rite now!hope they'll just have enough luck to beat tpjc and vjc to get into the next round.but judging from today's performance,it realli looks like they're gonna have a hard time man.jiayou CJ!!!
besides playing volleyball,i actually managed to catch some action from the CJC road relay and my odac juniors running in the rain.the road relay was pretty interesting.the school invited those sec schs that were affiliated to CJ to join in the race and it definitely make the competition a whole lot different from what CJ used to be.and then,saw my odac juniors running on the track in the rain.CRAZY but i like it.it even reminded me of those good old ODAC days whereby we did all the crazy stuff,run in the rain and have so much fun,constantly challenging ourselves!i realli miss those great old days man.well,saw sarah's batch back in school today too.i muz say sarah is super frenly lahz.and she's CUTE!!!hahahaha...always nv fail to say hi to mi!!!and i muz say,she's a crazy girl too.anywayz,she was accompanying angel,mr lim's daughter running round the track in the rain too!and trust mi,angel is pretty fast considering she's onli pri 1!!!and they ran in the rain and was having hell lotsa fun lolz!well i guess i gotta stop here now cos i gotta pack my stuff for my short trekking trip to m'sia tml!hopefully i'll be back by tml nite...if not,sun morning!and then,will look forward to my sun's salsa clasS!!!hahahaha...

its a extremely tiring week.for your info,i've been staying in since mon without myself knowing that i had to due to parades on mon itself.3 consecutive days of parade...super super shagged....but its definitely my last burst of fire before i realli retire and rest for the next 2 mths.im starting my civilian conversion course man...clearing leave and off almost all the way till i ORD!!!looking forward to the day man.well,for the past few days in camp i realli had nothing better to do and had time to actually sit and think of some stuff.i dunno wat im actualli doing but then im pretty sure im a changed man as compared to 2 yrs before.well,its 3 days to my 2 yr soldier day!!!hahaha...im feeling so so good rite now knowing that im going to enjoy myself for the next few days!...im going to msia to trek again...G.Panti and pelepah kiri waterfall...im seriously looking forward to this trip.

today's a busy day!went to 3 places for the entire day.first place i went today was the queenstown swimming complex.was there to attend a briefing cum observation session on a hydro-therapy class for trainees under MINDS.was an eye opener for mi...the trainees were super friendly and i can see that they really enjoyed themselves and they can actually take care of themselves despite their disability!!!in fact most of them were even older than mi.anywayz,saw some NTU social welfare service club ppl too...they were there to help out!after abt .5 hr,i realised that i had to leave to go for dance lessons!

dance lessons was great!had one session of latin rhumba and one session of hiphop!the rhumba dance is realli very nice and i seriously fell in love with the rythm and the dance moves!had lotsa fun too...hip hop at first was quite lame cos the instructor was practically making us see him doing his movements and we were expected to noe...it onli got better for the sec part when he started to go thru with us step by step.his actually very lame and his way of delievering his lesson was quite bad lahz.watching aunties joining in hip hop in ballroom dancing attire was MAD!!!plus the fact tat they are wearing HEELS for HIP HOP!!!

after dance lesson,went to chinatown area for some steamed dumplings!the food was great!!!superb i muz say!!!and immediately aft that,rushed off to attend yanru's 21st party!!!saw quite a couple of CJ peeeps ard and off course,met iz lim and tan HT...plus afew of my guy classmates!the party was not too bad...interesting idea like "toto-bingo"...and after awhile,i realised it was pretty late and i rushed to take a bus ride home!the journey was damn damn long...sianz...

well,i think im realli in love with dancing sia...and definitely its not those very hipsters kinda dance but more of those latin dance!!!so interesting...

had fun today going back to CJ!!!anywayz,i took off in the afternoon in order to return to CJ to help to train up the guys in volleyball for their nationals!!!however,before i make my way to CJ,boonteck and i went to queensway to shop for my bag!instead of buying my bag,i bought a pair of jeans and a jacket!!!cost mi $120 man!!!die lahz,this mth expenses completely burnt!i think i gotta stay in real soon!!!hahaha...anywayz,still din managed to get my bag there!but i think im more or less settling in for the bag that i've saw at bugis!!!its pretty nice but abit too squarish.i like it for the fact that it can either be a sling bag or a haversack!!!plus the compartments are huge enough for mi to store quite a no of stuff including my laptop!!!

when i went back to CJ,i decided to join ODAC for their training run!in fact,even before their run,i ran a 2.4km liaoz!plus their near 5km run,its at least 7km today!after which,no rest, went over to start those volleyball action!well,next fri will be competing against the current team.and i seriously hate the attitude certain ppl in my team is giving mi!they believe that we are too good to play our juniors and keep having the mindset that we're very good!i seriously hate this and i dunno if i should continue to play anot!that's a complete no respect for opponents for undermining their ability plus not training at all to prepare for a match.i realli dun wish to lose and i hope i will trash my juniors badly so that they will not take things for granted during their nationals...letting them win now isn't a very good idea too.generally,their team is pretty ok.wat im worried is juz the team work for our team!!!realli not feeling good abt this...luckily the coach will also be bringing some of his guys in to play!hopefully he realised that my team isn't that good enugh to do wat we're suppose to do to bring down the ego of the current batch!even if they win us,seriously hope they wont be complacent lah.now all i can do is to pray that they actualli get those lousy teams in their 1st round groupings bah!!!hahaha...all the best guys...gtg...tml will be a long day for i'll be out the whole day!!!hahaha

hohoho...im back from my march expedition man!!!had lotsa FUN revisiting mountains i've climbed before and things that i've done before.it further proves the point that every journey is a different one despite having a same destination.it gives us a chance to think of how best we can improve the journey for each trip and make it a more challenging and create a much more exciting learning journey.well,this time round,i've actually joined lek and kenneth as well as my juniors from ODAC(8th and 9th batch) to climb Gunung Datuk and Gunung Lambak.Besides going for trekking,we also went to tioman island to trek too.As for tioman,they was 4th batches of ODAC peeps ard!with 3 from my 5th batch,25 from 7th batch and the rest the current 61 peeps of 8th and 9th batch. I've finally completed my 21km nite hike in tioman and on top of that,instead of us being the 5th batch seniors joining them for royal rumble and snorkelling and the usual stuff ODAC loves to do at tioman for march expedition,the 3 of us had a journey of our own.will further elaborate later in this blog.after tioman,the 3 of us together with mr lim went to kuantan to meet up with 5 others from my batch for our jerankang and berkelah waterfall retreat!!!after which,we return to singapore and that's the actually the brief introduction for my March Exp.i shall name it exercise reunion.

14th march 2006 n 15th march 2006
reported back to camp as usual,tying up loose ends at work esp trying very hard to train my NDP babies to pass their test and handling over of duties to fellow instructors.bk out early to rush home and pack up my stuff and took mrt down to kranji to meet lek and kenneth.as usual,im always the earliest to arrive and kenneth was always the one that's late.took bus 170 across the causeway and crossed the custom.wanted to shop at city square but it was too late liaoz.we were also quite lazy to walk to the roadside stalls near the dirty river and so we settled at the mac in city square.after which we went over to the train station to wait for our train to Tampin.Well,one thing to take note guys.IN case u guys dunno,train tix that u buy from m'sia is half the price u buy from singapore which means the nominal sum is the same despite the currency value.so play smart and get them from johor!!!hahaha...boarded our train at ard 1150pm.kinda super excited on the train cos its been quite sometime i've taken the train.the stars for the nite was great.after a tiring 4hours plus train ride,we finally arrived at Tampin.The initial plan was to sleep at the station and wait till 6am before we take a cab to Gadong to start climbing Gunung Datuk.In the end,lek and me sat at the station and couldn't fall asleep unlike BABI fang song wei!!!so we decided to venture out of the train station not knowing wat the surroundings were like.well,we woke babi up and we walk out of the train station along this 200m road which eventually hit a town.was delighted and at the same time feeling super hungry.so we explored abit before finding a local small muslim stall.the uncle was pretty friendly and we ordered prata from him.his prata was superb.after the 1st serving,we decided to have a 2nd serving of egg prata!!!we ended up having breakfast till ard 8am whereby we were suppose to start our climb for Gunung Datuk.Then we went over to a nearby 7-11 to buy some biscuits for lunch at the summit.After which we rushed to the bus terminal to grab a taxi to bring us to the foothill of G.Datuk.It was a 15mins ride and when we reached the foothill,we caught up with the ODAC bunch whereby they took a chartered bus from Mt Ophir to G.Datuk to continue their march expedition!For me,the expedition this time round was very different for the fact that we dun really have restrictions unlike we were in the past cos we're carrying things out at our own pace!walk slowly with those injured juniors as i see them pushing themselves despite some of them having leg injuries that looks pretty serious.the climb Datuk was pretty shiok for the fact that we haven't been climbing for such a long time getting close to nature and touching every root,plants trees and even mud.Things that u dun usualli get to do in our urban life in singapore.The air was refreshing and cooling with every breath u take in and u could hear the various insects and birds chirpping away.As i climb,i started to recall the moments i've spent with my batch of odac mates when we were there.Remembered that the view at the summit was super nice.its one of the few mountains that i've climbed that have such great views.

Me and Kenneth at one of the rock on the summit.feeling damn fresh!!!


we're falling off the mountain!!!SAVE US!!

after climbing G.Datuk,we descended and rushed off to proceed to Kluang for Gunung Lambak.We were pretty unlucky as one of the 2 chartered bus broke down.so we gotta wait for almost an hour before a replacement bus came and picked us up!then we continued our journey down to G.Lambak.by the time we reached there,it was ard 4plus in the afternoon.This time round the 3 of us from the 5th batch did something we din not do for our trip to G.Lambak.Instead of going up and down the same way,we did the G.lambak traverse.in order for us to do it before sunset,it means we gotta go extra fast so that we have enough time to rest at the top and take some fotos before hitting off the next trail to do the traverse.So we actually walked pretty fast in scaling the slopes that go as steep as approx. 65degrees incline.usualli if we take our time to ascend,it would take approximately 45mins to 1hr for average ppl.but the 3 of us went at supersonic speed and we actually reached the top in exactly 20mins.so we got more time to relac and take foto up there!!!after which we walk down the next trail to do our traverse and we met some local ppl over at the other summit.There's this man that actually became our guide as we descend using the traverse route.he was talking to us like some old frenz and i swear we realli hit it off with him despite being total strangers at first.we talk abt anything under the sun from what's within the mountain to politics to housing and living standards.He even showed us ants nest that look like super huge century eggs and showed us wild boar trails.and we met this 60 plus couple that actually ascend and descend the mountain at a speed so formidable!!!they were walking super fast and we then realise these ppl were locals that climb G.Lambak like say 3 times a week....!!!they met as complete strangers and now they're friends that watch out for one another while climbing.it realli makes me ponder if this kinda of friendship could be fostered in singapore?Are we singaporeans juz too arrogant and too suspicious of ppl ard us that make us keep ourselves in out own nutshelL?i muz say i realli enjoyed speaking to the locals!well,after climbing G.lambak,we descended and took the chartered bus to Mersing whereby we'll be spending the night before heading for the ferry service to go over to tioman.had a super long debrief session for the current batch of ODAC ppl.and being the 5th batch senior we sat and listen.the deal for everyone that nite with mr lim was that no one is suppose to sleep!!!hahaha...and to date,for mi and lek we had like say 3 hrs of sleep on train,another 3hrs on the bus to mersing which means onli 6 freaking hours!!!


climb up G.Lambak...super shag

the long debrief @mersing (3am in the morning)

16th march 2006 and 17th march 2006
took the ferry earli in the morning 630am.its freaking expensive!!!approx 35 sing dollars man!!!so in order to make our money worthwhile,we came up with various plans to stretch ourselves.heard from mr lim abt Gunung Kajang in Tioman itself and we actually wanted to try it out. We were so ambitious that we wanted to complete it in one day so we can leave tioman with the rest of the odac.however,due to certain delays by the boat and the last min decisions,it was pretty impossible for us to complete that task and so we decided to juz go over to Kampong Paya to look for the guide!!!Instead of stopping at the jetty at Kg Paya,we followed ODAC to Kg ABC which is so freaking far away from Kg Paya.So,after having lunch,we set off for Kg Paya not knowing the exact distance and how long it will take for us to reach there.It did not help at all with the sun shining so bright beaming tonnes of ultraviolet rays to our poor defenseless skin surface.we had fun walking and walking and crapping our way thru.we trekked on roads,trekked thru the forest and walk across the shore.Climbed rocks and we freaking hell know how to entertain ourselves.the scenery was beautiful and the price to pay was quite painful too.at the end of the day,we were pretty much sunburnt!after we reached Kg Paya,we did not managed to speak to the guide.however,we managed to get the contacts of his son so that we can arrange with him the next time we go over to climb.And along the way we walk to Kg Paya,kenneth and I actually spoke with a no of Dive operators to check out the price of diving with them.We concluded that APACHE divers still provides the cheapest package man!APACHE rox...upon arriving at Kg Paya,mi and kenneth had an ice cold beer on the beach under the hot sun.after which we tried looking for a sea taxi to bring us back to Kg ABC.we find that it was too expensive and we had no choice but to trek back to where we came from.At first we were like saying we'll nv go back by foot already lahz...but due to the expensive boat journey back,we trekked back by foot and we tried walking along the shore for certain part of our trail to skip climbing the slopes we encountered while coming to Kg Paya.we tot it was still low tide and the water would juz reach slightly below our waist level at most.but as we were trying to skirt the shore,the tide came in and the waves got stronger.we had to move fast and we climbed those huge rocks by the shore.i swear it was damn super cool and fun finding our way out...eventually we reached Kg ABC ard 7plus. and the trek was like ard 20km to and fro.and to think that we're gonna go for nite hike at 3am in the morning and its approx 21km!!!so we had dinner and proceed back to our room for some rest.napped for abt 4hrs at most before waking up to go for nite hike.@ 3 am,while every other normal ppl was sleeping,we moved out for our nite hike across the forest to the onli kg. on the east of tioman.at first,the seniors were walking at the back of the group until the current 2 batches of ODAC peeps went the wrong way and we became the first few to walk the trail!it was great.with onli a few of us walking in front,we minimised the use of torchlight and we figured our way thru the forest.There were certain moments whereby we switched off our torches completely,sat down and kept quiet as we listen to the song of nature.the cicadas crickets and other wildlife singing their melody.we also saw lotsa fireflies in the forest.i felt so good despite having to drag my restless body to do the nite walk.eventually we reached Kg Juara which faces the south China Sea.the waves over there were pretty strong as compared to the rest of the beaches over at the western side.i managed to catch a glimpse of a black tip shark swimming near the jetty.and we sat at the jetty waitin for sunrise.However,it didn't went the way we want it to be.There were clouds obstructing us from catching the perfect sunrise.Then the ODAC peeps left for Kg Berjaya while the 3 of us from 5th batch stayed on to further explore this isolated Kg.certain parts of the Kg were still left very untouched despite the growth of a Kg.There was a school at the Kg and we found out that there's a 4WD trail that's been juz created to help transport ppl to the western shores.im kinda disturbed in a sense that with the creation of that 4WD route,could u actualli imagine how many trees have been chopped away.imagine that if there's this 100 yr old tree lying in their path,and they juz chopped it off?its freaking 100yrs old with a heritage of its own.well,back to the journey...after checking out the Kg,we trekked back to Kg ABC to check out of our dormitory.Packed the stores that we've loaned out from ODAC and packed into our bagpack.Waited at the jetty for the ferry to bring us back to Mersing.Nothing much happened on the ferry except the fact that we actually gotta transfer to a speedboat outside the shores of Mersing to go into the jetty due to the tide.after reaching shore,it was time to wave goodbye to the j1 and 2s as they make their way back to singapore while the 3 of us and mr lim proceed to kuantan to met up with the other 5 from my batch for the 2 waterfalls retreat.Before they actually leave,all the 4 batches present sang a "goodbye" song which is the odac song together arms over shoulders style.it was damn cool lahz and we felt kinda bonded to the rest!!!also,there was a special entertainment sector whereby all the marists were made to come on stage to recite their marist pledge.Kenneth being the oldest marist din not noe how to recite their pledge sia...the pledge was super humourous but contained values tat we should work towards to.after they left,the 4 of us went for dinner at this restuarant.the food was average and we paid for the meal as mr lim paid for our bus tix to kuantan.At Mersing,i went for a hair cut at a local salon.it was damn cheap.8RM onli...though it wasn't realli salon standard but think again,i tried to cut my hair at m'sia.it was a pretty cool experience.


cool rite?the beach is so beautiful...

18th March 2006
Board the bus at around 11pm and we arrived in Kuantan at ard 330am.went to a prata house and stop over for a drink.it more of like buying a seat there to rest for hours?ahahaha...then wait till ard 530 and the other 5 of them joined us from singapore.contacted e taxi driver and we met up with him.he drove us to another restuarant by the road and we had our breakfast there.took some nasi lemak and prata before we drove to another place to board our 4WD to get us into jerankang.the ride to jerankang was super bumpy and it freaking took an hour!!!when we reach there,we had very little time and we trek very quickly.it was the first time there for all of us.reach a few stop points and we went further up till wat i think is the main cascade and we stopped for awhile before deciding if we should continue.so we left the 3 girls at there to rest while we go recce.then we found that there was a trail further up but its getting more dangerous as the slopes inclines up to more than 70 deg. and we finally reached this cascade that's freaking beautiful.Well,i dun have much fotos to show as we were practically rushing thru as the driver was waiting at the trail head to bring us to berkelah.so we "flew" down asap too and we forgot to take fotos!!!amazing shit...wasted sia...but then,i muz say that jerankang is still pretty untouched!!i swear im gonna go back there again!!!serious...this time round i'll camp there liaoz...then we proceed to berkelah...the ride was pretty short and when i reach the trailhead,i was damn disgusted and disappointed.to think that some ppl were burning down parts of the forest and stuff?the air was horrible and the sight was terrible as well.then we started to trek in to the lower course of the river and as we passed by certain campsite,i realli felt very disgusted as the campsites were very dirty,rubbish filled and very unsightly.as we walk further up,we found ourselves walking more on the slippery rock surface which is pretty fun.cos u cannot realli see the trails on rocks as oppose to forest tracks.we end up climbing to the main cascade and camp there overnite.we had fun jumping into the cool and refreshing waterfall.we set up our tents jus beside the waterfall and i actually din sleep in the tent as i found it pretty hot in the tent.so i slept rite outside the tent on the rocks!with my backpack as my bed lahz...it was damn cooling and i feel closer to nature in a sense exposing myself to watever insects u can think of.and i actually got some sandfly bites on my back!!!first time...but nothing to be angry or complain abt cos the sandfly dun always get to feast on humans...unlike us humans,we can always chose wat we wanna eat and stuff and still complain abt the quality and quantity.if onli we were like sandflies,we will then cherish everybit of wat we have.well,that nite,we cooked rice and made some dishes unlike those conventional maggi noodles u see ppl having on mountain top.well, we also proved YY's point wrong that bringing pork up a mountain or trekking will bring us rain.hahaha...well,for our case,it almost rain lahz...ALMOST>.....onli flashes of lightning ard and nothing more than that.during dinner,we had around 4 cicadas joining us for dinner hopping and flying around where we had dinner.after dinner,we had some cocktails and had a mini sing along session.then had some small talks to find out abt how everyone has been doing and stuff.then we went to sleep.this is the first nite that i have more than 6 hrs of sleep.all in all,plus this 6 hrs of sleep,i have approx. 25 hrs of sleep for a 5 days trip!!!amazing huh...next morning we woke up at 7 to pack and descend.started descending ard 8 and we reach the trailhead to meet our driver at ard 920am.it was pretty fast.well,nothing much happened along the way until we were almost out,joyce tripped over a rock and sprained her ankle while i actually slipped and fell into the river while crossing the river for the last time...ahahaha...sway lahz...well then we went back to kuantan terminal to wait for our bus back to johor.however,our taxi driver abu suggested to drop us at A&W for us to have lunch since there's no more A&W outlets left in singapore.i had their coney hotdog and trademark root beer float as well as a waffle!super shiok!!!hahaha...and on our trip back to singapore on the lousy coach bus,the speed was so slow and i was like telling them,later if rain hor,u'll see the ceiling start leaking rainwater and indeed it happened...then i commented again...later we sway sway bus break down also...and indeed it broke down at a Toll plaza near johor and we skipped onto another coach bus heading to larkin terminal!ahahaha and they were like saying i better not make any other comments before everything comes true!ahahaha...then we crossed the custom and walked across the causeway.then went to the woodlands old regional center to have dinner!after which we walk to marsiling mrt station and took a train home...that's the end of my march expedition!

woahz...feeling extremely tire and sore but everything else is just so worth it.my mum woke mi up ard 5 am just to ask mi to drink some herbal tea!!!!AMAZING SHIT!i was so pissed...and tried to sleep for awhile more before heading to the market for some breakfast.after breakfast,went to see a doc regarding my toe!did i mention that i actually slammed my weapon onto my feet while practising some drill routines?well,at that time i was wearing my combat boots which covers my feet from sole to my shin area!and to think that a slam onto my feet did not cause the combat boots to give way.or rather,part of the flesh from my 4th toe got ripped open!!!omg...its not that its freaking painful lahz.the pain was bearable but i decided to see a doc to see if she can offer mi a solution to help my wound heal faster as im gonna leave for M'sia next tues nite!so excited and im afraid the wound would get infected!but now juz pray that no pus comes out and i should be fine.but got 2 antibiotics to complete man!i hate it...but for the sake of going exp,i shall juz bear with it.anywayz,after seeing the doc,i rushed down to suntec to meet the rest of our teammates.reg-ed ourselves and we were constantly joking ard while we wait for our turn to report for the race.to be truthful,we were in the competition just to actually have fun and also to give us a reason for us to meet up occasionally to train together.well,as far as i can remember,we had a total of 4 training sessions whereby i din not attend 2 of them.hahahaha...being the team cap i felt abit bad lahz...but im glad the girls took everything in their stride and trained well.initially,we were like telling ourselves that our of 40 teams,our goal would be to get at least top 20 lolz.and soon,we started the climb to 43 storeys of suntec tower 4.well,mi and sam were the kamikazae warriors,chionging as soon as we start.the stairs was freaking crampy and i told sam our goal is to lap the team in front of us.2 mins ahead.well,pushed like crazy and i managed to get onto the top first for our team.i did a 6mins 42secs for 43 storeys.well,im pretty happy with the result for the fact that i din realli train plus the toe injury and the fact that im not far off from the timing that i've clocked scaling the same building in 2003.it was almost the same and im pretty glad.after the run,we took our stuff and juz left without the tot that we will win anything at all until someone gave sam a call and told him tat we've won something.at first was like telling them that it might be a mistake or that we won something else not so significant.but when we returned,we realised that we have not onli achieve our goal of top 20 but also we got into top 5 position which entitles us to prizes.was so super shocked lah.all i muz say now is muz realli thank the girls for training so hard esp dumb girl reina.she's so freaking stress kid lah,keep having the fear and tot that she's the weakest link and was afraid that she might drag the team down.well,realli,u girls have done well unlike us the guys,so super slack,onli lek was present for all training!!!ahahaha...anyway,im glad we did join and im sure we'll be back to go for more and strengthen our bonds.well,i think my brain is not functioning liaoz...gtg man...will blog again.anywayz,salsa lesson today was fun.more intensive but still learning the same thing.in fact,revising plus trying to improve my posture!!!great day today...super happy..

my horns are coming out...however,sometimes when i start punishing ppl,i jus stopped halfway and correct them instead of carrying out the full punishment!!!m i juz too nice to them?do they appreciate my kindness?well,in fact they dun need to!!!i juz wan them to learn and correct those mistakes once and for all.its juz a very simple request and yet i have to resort to giving punishments to them in order for them to learn.well,one thing im proud of myself is that im fair to everyone.for this course,the trainees consists of regulars,sergeants and the rest,new MPs...though im juz a corporal,being an instructor means even a 1st serg taking the course will have to listen to my instructions.well,im fair in a sense that i treat all of them regardless of rank with the same attitude lolz.in fact im more strict with the specs.for the simple reason that they are the commanders,the leader of men and if they cannot do things well,how can they expect their men to follow?well,did punish a couple of them even though some of them i noe them quite well.they better not expect special treatment from mi.well,im also taking a risk for punishing them for the simple reason that once they're out of the course,they can also get back at me for it...it realli tiring punishing ppl also lahz!i swear...i'll prefer to train on my own than to actually teach ppl...sometimes u'll juz vomit blood!hmmm...gotta go sleep liaoz...im suffering from sleep deficiency syndrome man!!!cannot take it...

relieved...i've finally did my LAST Silent Precision Drills performance @ Suntec City yesterday.It was for the Army Career Exhibition (ace) which was held from fri to sun but we onli had to perform on fri and sat.well,on fri i kinda did commit some mistakes which were not very obvious.it was also a close shave considering the fact i did my rotation of weapon so much closer to my body due to a mistake in spacing which was super dangerous!well,on sat which was realli the last show,it was perfect for mi!!!feel so good and relieved...its finally time for the younger ones to step up and take over us!generally,ACE is juz another chance for us to get out of camp to perform for the public and go girl watching...ahahah!!!

besides doing that,as i mentioned before,im currently attached to another coy to help out with the training of NDP personnels.well,one week have juz passed.for the past 1 week,i've been a very nice person repeating the mistakes they've made to them one by one!i din even punish anyone at all.as for next week,things will change cos ppl juz dun learn without punishments.im gonna juz give them one last warning and the next one i see doing something not right will juz get it.im unleashing the devil me cos im juz sick of ppl that cannot follow instructions when im trying hard here to impart some skills to them and yet they either give the 'i dun wanna learn' look or the kinda 'why should i learn' look.they're one stuborn batch of ppl...wait and see...i'll start making a casualty list as of next week...

well,today is a rather packed day!!woke up earli in the morning to go joggin.after which met up with alvan to play pool before heading for our 1st salsa lesson.well,it wasn't too bad today.quite interesting despite having some psychomotor problems.gotta work on it more liao...practice and train hard...hahaha...im pretty sure we were one of those younger ones in that class man!after the lesson,proceed to catch the Change Of Guards ceremony.went over to YS building to meet up with my fellow squad members!the feeling was so so so different!its my first time going there in civilian watching my frenz doing it while i've been officially discharged from this ceremony.took so fotos and stand ard watching them do their rehearsal.well,i muz realli say that the standard is not good lahz ever since the discharging of a couple of us.im not trying to say that we are very good but then,i dare to admit that we're good lah.juz that ppl that's taking over us couldn't perform to expectations.besides tat,it boils down to the fact that the few of us that wanted to dismount kinda force our way out of the squad and that explains the in flow of "not up to standard" ppl mounting in our positions.i realli feel guilty in a sense cos for mi,i prefer standards not to be compromise.actually i did wanted to volunteer to do this mth again so that the not so good ppl will have more time to train and improve.but then,before i saw the standard of the current squad,i've already reg myself for the salsa lesson today!though it might onli be 1 lesson,but then,im gonna miss more than juz 1 lesson for the fact that im leaving for berkelah and jerankang next next week.cannot afford to miss too many lessons.plus the fact that its at a special discounted rate which doesn't always happenes...so i had not choice but to juz let go of watever is holding mi back to force an early dismount from the performing squad.im realli sry for being selfish...but well,even the instructors are like that too...i shall not mention names but well,problems are being to surface...shall juz wait and see what happenes next.back to cog,the performance today was alrite onli lahz...not as good,but average lahz.probably a off form squad i say.after watching the performance,went over to PS to walk ard and shop ard before heading home.super tire and trying to blog.now gonna juz stop here and proceed to watching my BLEACH!!!hahaha...ciaoz..
