a small barrier... not a problem

went to PA this morning to get my probation form signed. hoping that i could slot it into ms lee's pigeon hole, and hopefully get my letter in less than a month's time. mr chan was in his office as usual, slowly sms-ing away. got it signed without much hassle. he remembered me (quite obvious lah i mean i was marching for the damn parade) remembered my name and school. got alot of SJI peeps in NPDP in quite important positions. me and big red as flagbearers and HO alger... who was the emcee. anyway that covered my parade component. as for my function, zachia wasn't there!! damn it! apparently she was overseas, so i asked mr chan if he knew when she'd be back, then he said as ms lee, so i went to find her. her office lights were on but she wasn't in. i probably go again on saturday morning before meeting at nanyang... hopefully she's in... want to get my rank before national day, so that i can wear at both CJC and SJI!!! don't want to be walking around with that damned white cloth that will probably be black by then :p

i'm THIS close to my rank... all that's standing in the way is a signature... a letter... and a trip to the PA store. Cheers.

failed attempts...

recently faced a few... glitches. yesterday morning supposed to meet xin, gc, shaun and neo at bugis at 9.30. and guess what? xin called me at 9.45 at home and i was still sleeping loh!!! felt so damn bad :( anyway after that rushed down as quickly as i could, got there at about 10.45. after that while we were walking into bugis junction, mei moey called me and said she saw me, and i didn't see her lah. found out at night that she was hiding so that i wouldn't see her :p tt's a really really minor failure on my part lah coz couldn't see her hahaha. anyway after that played an hour of lan... after damn long. realised i cannot snip for nuts anymore... die!!! hahaha another minor failure... after all that went to bang's house to study lah, didn't manage to study much also, like about an hour only... THAT ONE IS ABSOLUTE FAIL AH!!!

today went to raffles place and airport to do my group's PW survey. this one sad to saw was absolute failure... didn't manage to get anything good done. wasted plenty of time... hopefully tomorrow will be more rewarding.

anyway with failure always comes successes! and i'm proud to announce that both ben and bren are back as CIs!!! YEAH!! WOOOHOOO!!!!! 2 MORE TO JOIN THE BUNCH!!! after all 3 are leaving, if only ian went as well, then there'd still be 4! :( oh well 3 is better than 2 i guess. looking forward to working with these guys... after all 4 years passed... 1.5 more to go!!!

the 3 things i need right now... more discipline... more decisiveness and more self-control. well i guess the last one goes under discipline as well... but just to spell it out for myself! i'm degrading again... deteriorating... falling down the pit again. either because i'm sleeping too much, or letting other irrelevant things bug me... they shouldn't be bugging me lah, but somehow they are... why are you acting this way? :(

new pics...

uploaded new pics from sec 2 ATC and NCOTC, go take a look. won't see much of me in NCOTC coz i was only there for the last day :p Cheers!

it has begun...

and high time it did too!!! so damn late already still haven't done ANYTHING!!! anyhow supposed to go to school today, but woke up kinda late, like 10 hahaha. so just stayed home for lunch, after that went to bang's house. lounge was clogged up with RJ people who were making a hell lot of noise! so just sat outside the cafe. then after a while they came out to play on the pool table, made a hell lot of noise again. thank goodness i brought my mp3 player with full batt, could more or less block out the noise hahaha.

started studying at about 1.30, and bang came down at about 4. at 5 played a game of pool which cost $2, never going to play again hahaha. after that just sat and talked lah. i managed to finish about 3/4 of trigo... but no practise lah, all memorising and going through examples. die die die still got alot of maths to do!!! haven't touched econs or physics yet... feesyx ah!! die already lah feesyx feesyx feesyx!!! Cheers.

fascinating bunch of people...

had an area CI meeting on yesterday, basically for D&D of NCOTC and sec 2 ATC. buggers went to kallang to kayak and were damn late lah... by like 50 minutes!!! anywayz the meeting lasted for like 2 hours, after that went to pasta mania at PS to eat. took quite a while just to get in though, towards the end at the purely guys table, i heard a name popping up, and seeing their body actions... i kind of had an idea of what they were doing. they've done it before lah, but nice to see it in action hahaha. went over to have a look... quite interesting man... top few are really hot favourites!!! i agree with most of the choices lah, actually all i looked at were the top few hahaha, but really quite shocking when u compare to what we said as cadets. i actually have no problems with the top 3 lah... unlike glenn and big red who wanna switch 2 and 3 hahaha... the girls kept bugging us asking what on earth it was we were talking about, and our dear chairperson ivy with her sick mind came up with something very weird about the human anatomy, as though we would have bother to actually compare that stuff!!!

after that went arcade for a while, watched people playing air hockey and some other funny funny games. laughed like hell and made a lot of noise... unbelievable the amount of noise we created. after that just headed out of PS, and after a while everyone decided to go home to watch the portugal greece match :p the people there... jie long, jun yuan, jay jay, julius, ta hoong, glenn, ming zhou, kah wee, leong woon, thomas, hadi, hong yi, ivy, vivien, ying yuan, karen and mei moey, all a wonderful bunch of people. having gone through ATC with them, it was truly memorable! they made the transition all the more comfortable for me, that being my first ATC as a CI and all. got 2 more to go for now. vivien was group instructor with me for echo (coincidently the name of my CIBTC squad as well). all i can say is... she's good! hahaha she looks damn good when she smiles too!!! can get kinda high though... but i think all NY girls are like that hahaha. experienced and proven! the way she explains things to cadets is just different somehow lah, the kind of voice that would make you perk up and listen. i don't think i can achieve that kind of tone lah... i mean u listen to me talk will know already lah, i'm more suited to shouting at people loh hahaha.

ben and bren just finished their CIBTC ATC... after september all SJI CIs in area 15 will be from CJC WAHAHAHAHAHA, and they're all from my batch too :) but sadly... i've been told i'll be considered the lao jiao coz i've been with area at least 6 months more than them. hahaha... feels kinda funny... but being lao jiao doesn't make a difference lah, at least 3 of us will be working together for 2 more years... that totals almost 6 whole years man!!! woah...

charity night has been cancelled, but i'm now involved in planning logistics for sec 3 ATC. wah planning 3 ATCs in a year... xiong man. logistics twice... i hope i don't get stuck there forever... it's not a very pleasant place to be in hahaha.

unlikely to see the above mentioned people ever again as one big group... i really thank those whom i'll never see again for making ATC a success and helping me learn from it as well. oh yes... and jun yuan still has my sandals... damn it! Cheers!!!!
