essence of army

     Hardwork... Endurance... Discipline... Adaptibility... These are just some of the many qualities required in Army life... Even though now i am having the IPPT phase, which was taunted to be the honeymoon period of my army life... i can feel the tiredness & the pressure in it...

     Fast... Right.... Everything has to be done in the right way at the fastest time... In army, time is definitely very important... It is understandable as enemy will not give us much time in the war front... we must have the wit to outclass, outwit, outshine...

     Almost a month as a Jaguar Warrior... *laugh* Many people say i changed alot... as in appearance... i guess my heart remains... which was a good thing... i was afraid i changed alot in terms of character... I guess i am the same old brand new ME!!!

     Darker... Slimmer... Almost unrecognisable.... or should i say totally unrecognisable... This was the comments i got from many people... i meet up with Bel, Jia Hui & Xinyi yesterday... and we went back to THPZ... None of them can really recognise me... only when i stand in front of them for awhile before they started notice that i am who i am... Liang... *laugh*... Stupid Bel even say i look like Blangadeshi... and say why army torture me till like that... *laugh* so i guess, you can imagine how i look like now...

     I used to say this is a slimming camp for me... i guess i am wrong... it is not only a slimming camp... but a toning camp... it make me stronger in many aspect of me... from mentality to physical... i can feel muscle aching or even small muscles forming... so its definitely something i don't mind *haha* but need to be stronger as currently i am not strong enough... for people who have not enter the NS... you must really trained up... it will do you good...

Peace. You Truly Desire Peace. Just relaxing
somewhere calm with a light breeze against your
cheecks is our ideal of pefect. You don't like
to start fights, but instead, end them without
using violence.

What Do You Truly Desire? *PICS*

15 Days in Tekong

     Everything seems to be quite fine... with all the introduction to regimentation & discipline and other activities like Standard Obstacle Course (SOC) or the Road March... etc... damn tired but still managable...

     Body begins to adapt to the physically tough activities... 1st route march... i have breathing difficulties... 2nd one slightly better... SAT's third one... i was really keeping up the pace and i feel good...

     I felt really good to complete things i know i will suffer... apart from road march (or route march)... i managed to clear the last 6 SOC items even though afraid of height... 2 of them requires to stand quite high... to conquer my fear for the moment is a sense of acheivement lor... so im glad i managed to go through it like a MAN! haha... as for the first 5... have not try... but should require lots of arm strength... haiz... much be prepared soon...

     There was 3 days which i felt like 3 years... As there are time for us to visit the Medical Officer (MO)... i am not able to go as i past the time... so in the end... i went on SAT but... Dentist was not around... In the end... the MO gives me painkiller only... It helps a little only... but i am suffering like hell even though i was on MC (attend B) for 3 days... In the end... my face swell on SUN night... Mon morning... i looks like ChipMunks... totally a new face... u will not believe its me de....

     But now... its getting better... just needed to do some follow up treatment.... hmm... guess i am losing a bit of weight lor... coz pants like baggy... *laugh* Anyway... i was in the Jaguar Company's Drill Contigent... the Drill team... considering the highest honour for a recruit... but tough training as we are expected to do well... We gell up well in one day time... so i think we can do it... *smile*... Guess that's all for the time being... Take CareZ!

farewell

     10.42am now... Hang Ming, Shun Li, Han Keong, Jian Long & likely Peter are all inside now le... me will be joining them in hours time... This week also saw Wei Ping, Derrick, Wei Qiang, Yong Hao's enlistment... My time is about to come...

     Slightly panic over things like... files not fully back-up... Whether i brought enough things or did i bring too much things inside... and i hope i will not pull down my platoon mates due to my low fitness level... But i guess... i have no choice but go for it...

     Yesterday, i went to meet two groups of friends... THPZ & E5 friends... Morning and night... i managed to take pictures with Liyan, Yuyan, Jia Hui & Xinyi.... Forgotten to bring my camera... i can only chat with Eunice, Liying & Siang...

     We catch up with eat other's life... but i guess in the end... the highlights were the appointment of 2 fathers & 1 sister (or issit 2?)... We shall not go in depth on this.... it seems like i will miss my friends...

     I was actually pretty touched to have people wishing me good in MSN, ICQ, Phone, SMSes... although i was pretty busy the whole night... and i slept only at 3am... i was contented... as in... i was not complaining... i felt the warmth from them... I guess... its time to go and take a shower... and prepare to have my head balded... erm... i mean shaved....

SINGAPORE... Here I Comes~~~

a path that took 3 years...

     These 3 years... i had gone through alot... but with the least problems compared to my other friends... At least... i have lots of people who do care for me all these years... All treated me like their own little brother... take really good care of me...

     Friends around me had been complaining how competitive their classmates are... how worthless people around them are to be their friends... how unfriendly they are... etc... but i... did not really face this problem all my life... yes... i do suffer from depression over friends... but i guess... its due to my own problem... not others... maybe i always expect alot in life... causing more unhappiness...

     when i am down, there are people who would come over me and asked if i am alright... there are people who would noticed and care... but not express themselves... or even people who sits down and talk to me... or should i say FORCE me to talk... haha...

     Many people said before... You can have lots of friends... but those really true friends are less than 10.... but fortunately... i have more than 10 true friends... and at least 10 person i treated as buddies... They are people i don't mind dying for... if they need me... i shall be there... if not physically at least mentally...

     Never had a chance to thank them... nor had the courage to say the word "THANK YOU"... its seems so easy... just two words... but i seems to changed alot.. and the more close u are to me... the more difficult for me to say "THANK YOU" but no matter how... if these people get to see this post... i would like to say a big.....

T H A N K  Y O U !

last but hope not the least

     After disappointment over not able to go sentosa... today went Orchard with Jun Hao & Wen before joining the rest for a BBQ-Chatting session at Lower Seletar... Its was a relieved since today was a rainy day... Hence, Thank GOD we were not in Sentosa...

     We tried on clothes in TopMan... & went to have dinner at COSi @ Scotts.... Nice western restaurant... Its drinks & fusili wasn't very sweet or salty... just nice... but kind of a little cold... wonder if the fusili was supposed to be cold...

     In the end, after Aris last minute withdrawal, 7 of us headed to Seletar for the session... Jeremy, Yiliang, Jenson, Hao, Wen, Jocelyn & me!! We have such a nice time... even that twins make me like Maria... haha... no, they called me Suzanna... Anyway... its better than the previous session... The BBQ was a success... haha... We took photos and enjoyed having each other there...

     So fast... 3 years is over... Can still remember the first day in Poly... we are not close or don't even talk to each other... haha... seldom i mean... and now all are friends for so long le... close enough for some of us... even Jenson is with his gf for 2 years le... Hmmm....

     One more day to go, before my next pace of life begins... hmm... gonna miss this world... or this part of my life... memories... shall be kept next to my heart....

missing u

     I'm just tired... Went for Basketball in the morning... then.. in the evening... went for the Dinner with Photonics Classmates...

     Apart from 5 (2 NS, 1 Work etc.... ), 13 of us managed to gather at Chong Pang... Definitely i will go down since they changed it from WED to TUE... because of me... Joel found a job, Gu Ming returning to homeland soon and will be back by July... The rest? either waiting for interviews or still looking for jobs...

     It was pretty enjoyable... and i am sure to miss them... *laugh* the usual me? always emotional... Anyway... i was in a light mood till i went home...

     I was very tired but still, i went online... We have to discuss the events for tomorrow... in the end... *sigh* the trip to sentosa was cancelled... something i do look forward to... We had plans on going Sentosa for months le... but never did we went.... Just feeling tired, disappointed and fustrated... but i guess i shouldn't be... and there wasnt a need to be... since in days time... everything will be over temporarily...

     Photos were updated... and now it holds 5 albums...

take picture take picture

     A whole day of activities... i am just too tired le... legs can feel the overworked-ness... haha... 10am i went for a run with Hao & Wen.... then we ate our lunch at Mac... its like... "wah... simply delicious!~" its been months since i last ate Mac... too expensive outside NYP... but too fattening when i am in NYP... normally opt to go to North Canteen...

     After that, i went home and take a shower before heading down to AMK MRT station to meet the gals... and erm.. a guy? haha... Belfred appear, surprisingly, but needed to meet us slightly later due to some things crop up... anyway... Xinyi, JiaHui and i went to East Coast first... and we had out bowling game... Although i used to bowl (not a good one also), i still not able to get good score... maybe too long never play le.. maybe using house ball.. maybe the lane lousy... maybe i am just too lousy... *laugh* The system, environment a little bit like AMK's Strikers' Bowl...

     We ended up in McCafe having Double Chocolate & 4 kinds of cakes... Not too bad... nice taste... strong flavors... Thumbs UP! We were chating while awaiting the arrival of Belfred... Finally, he appeared...

     We ended up not able to see the Sunset... not because of Belfred... but simply because there isn't any for us to see... the sunset was not held there, i guess... *sad* but we did had lots of fun and relaxation... We took photos with 3 cameras... hope at least all will be good... only one is Digicam... in the end... i guess my skill is still the best.... *laugh* i shall not describe the pictures... will upload soon...

     Its great to be there... i have never been out with Bel, JH or XY like this before... its nice experience... just sad that the girls do have curfew... so i guess... too bad...

fashion day

     Giodano, Dano, U.W.N, G2000, U2, P.O.A., SEIYU, Samuel & Kevin... You hear me right... these were the fashion outlets (in J8) i went to today... Have our lunch/dinner at Crystal Jade Restaurant. It was still affordable for some dishes... Eunice ICQ-message me to meet up and to pass me one Vanessa-signatured CD. Liying joined us after her shopping spree with her brother...

     We went window shopping... Try on some clothes... me? i only tried on Samuel & Kevin's 2 top... both not my style but the feeling was not too bad... but never buy as i will not have any more days to wear them... *laugh* And guess what, i managed to see Ivy in Giodano... never thought she was transferred to Bishan... anyway... she offered staff discount to Eunice... She has to thank me for that *smile*

     After the whole shopping journey, we sat down at Olio Dome (behind Bishan Interchange) for a drink and snacks... We chat the whole night... its a long time since we sit and chat...

     Finally, i received the Audio Book from Eunice... Vanessa Fernandez, from the Urban Xchange, sang solo-ly for the album... a total of 8 tracks (excluding two, mix and LIVE, tracks) out of the 16 trackes available.... The rest are either instrumental or sound mixed for the poems... Her vocal was still strong as before... even though she sang jazz-y now rather than her usual pop-hiphop style... I still prefer hiphop though... The songs she covered gives me a kinda Dido's styled feeling...

     its not for sale... the album itself... it was distributed months back, in conjuction of a poetry book... As my friend was involved somewhere, somehow... she managed to get it for me... and asked Vanessa Fernandez, a friend of her as well, to sign for me... Isn't that great?
