hey!i forgot to add this in the previous post! During the week and if i'm not mistaken, on tuesday night where we were given alot of admin time, my buddy Kim wah was stripped not once, not twice but 4 times! OK la.. the first time was because he said something to me, so i decided to grab him when the rest also decided to grab him as well, so it ended up with him being stripped. Then round 2 came when cpl john came up, so we asked him if he wanted a replay of what had just happened, so cpl john shouted "replay!" so there we went stripping kim wah again. lol. Round 3 happened, when Kim Wah decided to be playful and sprayed soap water on both Young Chun and Rayth when they were showering. The best part, Young chun had already finished showering and was already drying himself up with the towel when he was bombarded with soapy water. lol. and the 3rd time it wasnt just stripping but with the wiping of colgate over his body and little BROTHER of cos! how could we have missed that out right? lol. Then the 4th time came when Sgt Johnathon got to know abt us stripping him, and had decided to play a part in it. ANd this time it was even more organised , with dedourant, colgate, shaving cream and a hell lot of people to grab him down. yeah it was a really fun night, i think i ended up having stomach cramps because i laughed too much. hahaha!

Gd morning!! Damm i hate my biological clock!Fancy myself sleeping at 2 plus and waking up at 7. Sigh. Is this one of the many cons due to the nature of army? Ok enough of the lamenting. This week has been a rather slack week. Considering that the weather hasnt really been very gd, raining nonstop for 2 whole days. Haha but it was sure nice to sleep in that kind of weather though! So basically monday and tuesday was a stay in hanger and enjoy the weather kind of training but i did receive my no3 uniform already! Sad to say, i dont have the correct size for my top. Oh well, it alot better than my instructors who only got theirs early this year when they have already been in army for so long. haha. Wednesday, the most tiring day of all, deployment and siezing drill again! Ok, i'm cool with the drills but not cool with the pushing of the gun again, not too sure why but my right shoulder was starting to hurt again while i was pushing in the gun and had really no energy to push in the gun any further. anyway i seriously dont quite know what else to write besides the fact that i love bookouts. =p hahahah

HEY!The most enduring week has finally passed.TRY OUTS ARE OVER!Man, thank god its all over now. Try outs were really tough. Imagine only sleeping 3 hrs a day, spending the other 21 hrs, carrying jellycans, hammering pickles, setting up guns, preparing admin tennage, then undo all of them, moving off to a new site. sigh. And thanks SM, for trying to give me a visit when i was at the new site. =) It was also a good thing that we had fresh rations instead of combat rations. IF it was combat rations, i believe that i would fainted due to the lack of food in my tummy.THose 3 days had really passed extremely slowly and somehow everybody's morale was at the all time low, especially for the spec course trainees, it can clearly be seen how unmotivated they were and i believe that every mistake that they make, its a confinement. Anyway we were deployed at 2 different sites over the span of the 3 days. The first site though it was hot but at least it was alot better with the grass and trees surrounding us but the second site was horrible. No vegetation at all, and the ground was all stones. Imagine sleeping on rough rocks.Sigh,at that point of time, i had really wished i was back in NInja's Field camp, at least there's grasses everywhere.
ANyway after the tryout excerise, there was a sudden change in all of our instructors attitude. It was so drastic that it left all of us shocked for words. Imagine booking out early for the first time , and its not by an hour or so, but 3 hours! Then not to mention a friendlier attitude to all of us, and also booking in late on sunday. Imagine that! hahaha! Oh well, i hope that this is persist throughout the whole course, then at least it wouldnt seem so unbearable to all of us. =)
Then on sat, hmm i'm not too sure why i was feeling so lethergic at squash but i really felt that i was wasting my own time there not training others and myself. Then i had actually wanted to start training on proper as well but sadly there werent enough guys around. Sigh.. sometimes its really tough to set up a club to run well and properly. Then in the later part of the day, my dad was nagging at me for not taking care of my uniform and using the car. sigh. i just hate being nagged at and he just simply adores it. ha. Oh well, then in the afternoon, it was time spent together wtih both joe and chinx at my place watching anime. ahah. nothing really much to add int here. The night time was really the enjoyable part. had dinner with Denise at east coast, the bedok hawker centre there. Though the time spent was short but it was really enjoyable. =)
Sunday, today. haha nothing much i guess, just doing some bloggin and packing up my clothes. will be looking toward into attending the wedding dinner on sunday. =)

hey guys , have any one of you experienced before the trouble of not knowing whether if u really like someone because you really like the person. haha, i guess i'm not making sense. Nowadays i feel pretty confused over how i'm feeling and i dont have any idea on what to about it. COuld it be because NS makes me go crazy over girls? Sigh.And I dont want to commit now cos i have already more or less confirm that i would be going over to Aus for further studies and i dont wanna end up hurtin both parties. sigh. this sucks.

To Denise, hey! i'm sorry that i had to cancel our usual dinner today. Really really sorry, will make it up nxt week k? =)
Ok! one tip for all friends of nick who can drive, DO NOT DRIVE WITH NICK WHEN HE IS SUNBURNT AND IS WEARING A RED SHIRT, this is because all the traffic lights that you go do, will always be red. And its really the truth. Anyways the reason why i had to cancel the dinner was beacuse i was at Peishan's Hse with Mek, Yimin and nick to celebrate PS's bday. Omg her new condo is awesome! A bowling alley, a super huge and nice swimming pool with a slide, Nice Scenary. The bbq was great too!
I cant believe that its already 2am on a sunday.Omg,bookout time is really short and sadly i already expecting to get confined for failing one of the tests i had last week. Anyway training last week was just the usual things till thursday where we were deployed to the TarMac. It was our first outfield training and honestly, its tough Not just physically but mentally too;out of 48 hrs, only 3 hrs of slp, no showering, no brushing of teeth, only 1 set of uniform, no using of hp. I have never felt so exhausted before, not even during Ninja's Field Camp. Goodness. And what is worse, tml, i'll be going for my tryouts - outfield , 3Days 2 Nights. I'm so going to die.. Anyway dudes! dont expect any sms-es frm me during the nxt few days as i wont be brining my hp to the field.
To the SP peeps!, Hey! i know things have been rough with nyp during the iVp. But dont let that bother you guys k? No matter what happens, you guys will always be the best to me, to sp, to everybody. I'm also glad that alot of you guys have seen yourself improved since the last time you guys had participated in a competition and thats something worth giving yourself a tab on the back. You guys earned it! =) btw, i'm also sorry for not being able to turn up when you guys needed me, during the pre-ivp trainings and ivp themselves. SOrry sorry. Hopefully after i turn op, i'll be able to go down for the trainings more regulary. =)
To Nobel pple, hey! We are already mid way through november and its about you guys start training. Competition would be around the same time as last year, March if i'm not wrong so lets not be last again. I really hope you guys can put in the effort to train , to win and to show the rest of the clubs that we are not a team to be trivelled with.This year, the guys team is more or less the usual guys that have been playing alongside thus far but i'm also being bold by hoping that i'm able to form up a girls team, with enough players to rotate through the competition but thats just being awfully hopeful. Ok enough said, i've already come up with a rough training plan for both div. If you guys got the time, do upload it frm here k?http://n040207.tripod.com/Squash_Team_Schedule.doc Btw there are some spelling errors so do bear with it. One thing to add, training is going to be tough and i really do you that you guys will endure through it, ultimately its you who would benefit from it and not me =).Lastly, for those who reading this, do pass the msg around that this coming sat training, pls bring 3 squash balls per person for training purposes. Thank you.

Saturaday!!! Man today was really fun! the activities are as follows.
Morning : Squash at SP. Training started later today as NP was trying out the SP courts in preparation of their games on monday. It was also the first time that i conducted physical training before any court drills. Not too sure on how the dudes really felt abt it so i hope u guys can give some feedback ya? Then anyway today i took sabrina, suzanna and peishan for training and honestly, i do feel that they have certain potential to improve themselves alot further ,its just that they have to put in the effort.. especially SABRINA! WAH LAU! doing abit of drop drive on the forehand side and u are already complaining tired! u ar!!! Then yimin.. well, I took her on some service return drills. Hmm... it wasnt too bad but it can improve =)
AfternOon : Hahaha! the funniest and most fun part of the day! I was out with one of my best buds today, Alvin Chan! lol. Ok we were basically shopping at the army market first for some stuffs before going on to bugis to look at clothes. Anyway my bro here is a Sergeant with a chao private's calibre. So much for passing his navigation test! lol. ok, i shant go into the details of that , but thanks bro for adding so much laughter! Anyway we basically shopped frm around 4pm till 8pm. And all he got himself a polo T and shirt whereas i got a pair of jeans and 2 t shirts. So while we were shopping, we saw Neo and the first thing that came out frm Neo was " Hey alvin! u look fatter!" lol! Alvin was so demoralised after that that he was saying he didnt have the mood to continue shopping for clothes anymore. lol.
Night : Hmm, i had a very nice dim sum dinner with Denise at the place where she is working at. hey! i wanna go there and eat again man! Oh, i dont think many pple know abt this, but i actually like eating dim sum alot! Siew Mai and Hai gao! Omg! How to resist them?

Well its abt another 15mins before i leave this pc to book in. Man, the feeling of booking in sure sucks. Anyway this morning i had squash with joe, sm and nick. Ok.. first i was late for squash in the morning as i couldnt wake up by 8 and i ended up reaching yck at around 1020 then after that i played with the guys till around 1130 before i had to rush through my shower and rush down for sushi. And once again i was late. SUper late! like abt 45mins? Hahah. Luckily both Edwin and Nick wasnt really that pissed. =-p Ok. Sushi was great! I just totally enjoy eating sushi man! Oh memorable thing at the resturant was the trainee waitress. WE just kept noticing that she keeps removing our plates asap. Its almost every time she walks pass us, she'll go " hi, can i take away those plates?" Then in the end, she got teased by Zhong saying, " do u get commission for clearing the plateS" and also " are u highly paid by them? if not why are u working so harD?" hahahaha. It was funny la! Then after that it was off to Zhong buying a present for someone's bday. Nothing much really happened after except that i was at home watching anime when my dad called back to me saying that someone had banged into his car. I have yet to see extent of the damage but its really damm suay! First was the scratch on the right front bumper and now a dent in the back. ANd the car is not even a year old yet. Wth.
Anyway to those who knows their html codes pretty well, can ya help me out abit?
1) I've just added a song into the blog but somehow i dont understand why the song doesnt loop after it finishes. Anyway i hope you guys would like the song =)
2) How to do the archives? It seems that the blog layout doesnt have the archives code in the original layout and i do not know how to get the codes for it. Anybody have any ideas?

Hey! its a public holiday tml ok i mean today! but who cares? what matters is that we are allowed to book out! lol. ok HAPPY DEPAVALLI to all our indian friends out there! Ok, booking in on sunday and booking out on monday night was honestly a waste of time. Today all we did was only 3 rounds of tests and Tingwei had actually fainted during one of the tests due to heat exhaustion. Omg, it was really stunning to see him faint. And the worst part was, before he recovered, Coporal John was like showing him 2 fingers and asking him what he can see and he couldnt even give us a reply . Then there isnt much to add on besides the fact that i'm booking in once again later in the night, how boring can that be? Area inspection would be conducted on wednesday night before book out and somehow i'm getting a feeling that the whole platoon would be getting confined then, not to mention its actually a 2x confinement. Sigh. that sucks!
IVP competition is coming around the corner and i would like to take the opporunity here to wish all the players taking part , all the best and win all the games that you are taking part in. And i also would like to give my deepest support for Huiwen, Denise, Yimin , Marcus and Joshua. I've seen how much effort you guys have been putting into training and therefore dont lose the confidence that u have built up over the past few months. The only one stopping you, is yourself. Tell yourself that u can win and you will! Dont give up at any cost! To Denise and Marcus, hey! i know you guys are best buds la! but there are somethings that u guys should not learn frm each other and thats the lack of self confidence. YOu guys have trained very very hard, and your hard work has been paid off but what is lacking now is your self confidence in the game. Have a strong mindset in the game and dont let any setbacks waver you. You guys can do it! SHow me the trophies that was untouchable for my year.. Then i also wanna apologise to all the SP players , sorry that i cant make it down for the IVP as i'll be in camp. But i do hope that u guys know that i'll always be there supporting and cheering you guys on emotionally =) yup!
