flu... cough...

down with flu since tue night and quite a no. of ppl in my shift got it too... dunno if its pass from one another or the air... so now having block nose and an ichy nose...

yest went to watch spiderman 3 at grand cathay cos the flu wasnt so bad in the afternoon... there's the 4k digital for this show at cathay and vivocity and the screen is so much clearer than the normal one and its for the same price... so its very worth it... and no wonder its full house even on weekdays and during the mid year exams period for most sch... but half way through the show the nose block again so was feeling quite uncomfortable in it...

went to see doctor this morning to get some medicine for the flu and tmr got ippt but i dun think i can take it properly in this state... so see how first lor but got to book in tonight... :( and i'm taking sun off for the pulse anniversary... pray that the weather be good cos it's been raining for the past few days...

100 days to NTU :)

countdown... 100 days to begin lessons in NTU! yup, its true... 100 days more and its back to studies... although the countdown clock reads 93 days today but that's countdown to the orientation... the acutal lesson will start on 6 Aug, which is 100 days from today... yeah man! and that also means less than 100 days of full duties in NS... haha...

SPCCC FOP (27/04/07)

yesterday evening the sp campus crusade had a FOP which is also like a welcome tea for the freshmen... as it was my dismount so i went there... it was lead by the christian music band Forerunner... there was alot of good songs which can bring you close to God... we had more than 1 1/2 hrs of worshipping through singing the christian songs... close to 200 ppl were in the auditorium and it really connect me with the lord... many of them are freshmen but i didnt talk to them much but catch up those from around my batch one since we havent met for quite sometime liao... the current freshmen are from 1990 and it makes me looks so old now... 5 years difference...

although its not as big scale as the FOP at indoor staduim in august, but its as powerful as it... it's been quite a long time since i last attend a worship of this scale... hopefully sp ro other campuses ministry will orgainse this type of event and also looking forward to the indoor stadium FOP in 3-5 Aug which will feature Hillsong which is a famous christian band worldwide... that will be like the 3 days b4 i officially start lessons in NTU... :) yeah

MacDonald's food rules over SFI

over the past weekend mount, which i was in camp for the whole mount i had 4 meals which was ordered from outside... so this is like a record cos i usually eat the camp food... but this mount one the food was really sucks so everybody all order food outside...

then on sun night got like abt 22 ppl want to order macdonald... so in 1 phone call got like 22 extra value meals plus some other side orders... total $156... cos its too much then the delivery man have to take taxi to deliver the meals instead of bike which they usually does...it comes in 1 big box... at the best thing is the delivery charge is till $2... wonder who pays the taxi fares? :p but cos the order was too large we had a hard time sorting out the food then in the end find out short of 1 set... we total got 12 mcspicy set then i think they miss out one... so they come to send another set... then i think throughout the day got more then 5 delivery there...

during the mount also got teach some ppl how to play the rubiks cube... now we got 3 there so got more chance to play and now must try to improve the speed... the orginal one is easier to turn compare to mine but if u use mine to practice then use the orginal one u'll find the original one super easy...

but yest b4 dismount got another talking session with OC... this time is becos of not good things... cos certain things screw up again... so now some privilage is taken away... now cannot read books even at night and must walk to checkpoints... sianz... and on sat is 100 days to NTU... so it's less then 100 days of duty there... hee...

Gen12ii Melbourne, Australia - 2 year on...

today marks the 2nd anniversary since i went for my first mission trip with crusade to Melbourne... it was this day 2 years ago that we board the plane EK404 to begin our 19 days journey and blessing from the lord... and talking about mission tmr 10 ppl from my church are going to cambodia for a 7 day mission... so everything about mission trip starts popping up, and the most impt thing is to pray for them...

and also this afternoon managed to get a rubiks cube from science centre... but that one is not make by rubiks but some other company so its not as good as the orginial one... so far the original one still out of stock but i still prefer that... my one like hard to compete timing esp since i've known and memorise the steps...

CO dialogue

today b4 dismount we had a dialogue session with our CO and its something like informal one so we could just say anything freely... but of course la is usually those few who have more courage one who talk then me those quiet type will just listen through the whole dialouge... the good thing is there's Pizza to eat... heard that we'll have this every month, so think have to book out late sometimes... today only book out at 1400h...

luckily friday dont have ippt so dun need to go back tmr night then can go for the dot cell grp fully... havent been going since jan cos of all the events then its cancelled... then when there is i'm on duty... :( as for the rubik's cube i managed to get all the steps in solving it although i still have to refer to the steps... havent memorise all yet but i've manage to solve the cube! so now the next step is to memorise all the steps then try to reduce the timing taken to solve it...

Food Drive Collection

today actually my dad's company having a family day at jurong bird park... cos i got church in the morning so at first plan to go there in the afternoon... but then there is so crowded then my parents they all went for a while then go home liao... so in the end i nv go and stay in church till afternoon...

then this morning we continue with the food from the heart thing and we went to collect the food... the response was like... em... not very good cos many of the units ppl are not in or they say the did not receive the info last wk so was not prepare... but those who give really give alot and total up we still got quite a number... but my sec 1 cell and AAT only manage to cover 2 of the 4 blks today cos not enough time to do the rest so next wk have to continue...

but the thing is next wk i won't be around... then as for the other 2 one going to cambodia misson trip and the other also got army duty... so my sec 1 YO! cell dont have any cell leader... luckily we combine with AAT cell but for that cell 3 leaders, one of them also going to cambodia.. so must pray the other 2 will be present, if not we still got our Lord Jesus who's always present 24/7/365...

today we also got GB enrolemnt so there's quite alot of ppl in the church... but too bad this yr they nv provide buffet so dont hve anything to eat there... then i always say dont eat too much but sometimes if nv eat lunch but dinner eat more then is worse le... oh me why like that... then my current BMI is 24.9... just 0.1 more to consider overweight... why............ must control................... ahh......................

Black Friday - Friday the 13th

it was friday the 13th 2 days ago and thankfully nothing bad happens this time round... still rem the previous time in oct last year cos got big screw up things in camp on the eve of it then we all got punish on the friday 13th until like all gg to die like that... this time round it was all normal without any big events...

then after bookout on fri went to ngee ann city to see the army exhibition... there got the 40 yrs of NS there and I think its good esp for pre-enlistee cos all the things are there... but too bad my bro not free to go there...
after that i also went to see around taka there see if got any rubiks cube there but unfortuantely dont have... currently im trying to learn and memorise the steps to solve it and im using my friends one... i think last time my house got 1 but dunno where's it now... if got another one is better if not i think the current one is going to break apart soon if everybody plays it... so far i havent get the exact solutions yet and if can is taiko one so get more practice first ba...

NTU Medical Checkup

this morning, i went to NTU for the medical checkup... actually my schedule is on next tue but as i'll be in camp next tue and they say can go anytime this 2 weeks, so i go today lor... then no need to take off next tue...

cos i think i went quite early so there's not much ppl yet... i managed to finish the checkup at ntu in 15 mins... but for the x-ray part have to go to jurong medical centre to take... then that centre is just diagonally opp my house... haha... and there's also no queue at that time... so is like the whole checkup was done in 1 hr... much faster then i expected... but the ppl there say that afternoon is very crowded... so my advice is to go early if possible...

at night went to watch the number 23 movie cos i got the free ticket with zhiqiang cos he got nights out... so this is my 4th time watching a free movie for the past 2 weeks... the other 3 shows which i watch were the haunted sch, freedom writer & TMNT... but now currently don't have any free shows yet so can take a break first... haha...

Easter Sunday

it's easter loh... and Christ has risen from the dead! and his grace is upon us...

this morning we had our food from the heart food drive again where we go to our church neighbouring blks to let them know abt the food drive, and next wk we'll be going house to house to collect... currently i think only abt half the ppl there knows cos the other half all not at home... but hopefully ppl will be willing to donate to help the needy...

for the service its actually quite the same as normal days except that there's baptism today... other than that its almost the same and after church went to jp to watch the TMNT which i got the free tix... but i don't really find the show nice as compare to mr bean's holiday and freedom writer...

got to go back camp soon but will be dismounting tmr again...haha... see ya again...

Holy Saturday

today is the last day of the lent season, in which Jesus rested in the tomb... there's no service today and its mostly as per normal...

cos i didn't take leave today so i went back to camp to do duty for 8 hrs... so i did from 8am to 4pm, and after that i managed to get to book out immediately... so i only stay in camp for abt 10hrs... but have to go back tmr night cos not enough ppl on mon morning...

after booking out, cos it's still early so i join my parents for dinner at vivocity and basically that's all for today, and as we await for tmr where Jesus will rise from the tomb and the joy that follows it...

Good Friday

today is Good Friday, and we commerate Jesus death on the cross for our sins... so basically the service is quite a sombreme one as we pray and meditate for what chirst has did for us...

after the service and lunch, our youth gathered to paint the eggs for the coming easter sunday in 2 days... it's quite fun painting the eggs as we could use our imagination to draw what we can think of onto the egg... although the egg is just ordinary egg but i'll look so special after those drawing... at first we thought it'll be difficult but with the help of everybody we took less than 3 hrs to complete almost 200 eggs, and all of them look so unique and beautiful...

after the painting of eggs i also went to help roger to take care of the kids when the adults are having CE lessons... wow... tell u ar... really needs patients to look after kids, esp those younger then 10 yrs old one... all so hyperactive and keep running abt... and i think some form of generation gap i think... those kids are like 10 to 15 yrs younger than me... look so old man...

got to go back to camp tmr early morning and do duty... cos heard that too many ppl took off today so not v enough manpower... but hopefully tmr is better and hopefully can book out tmr night so that it's not so rush on sun...

Maundy Thursday

it's thursday of the holy week, and it's also known as maundy thursday... it's the day where jesus and his disciples had their last meal together b4 being arrested... while doing so Jesus’ also wash the disciples’ feet as a sign of servanthood... tonight there'll be a service to commerade this also tomorrow morning, which is the day of his cruxification...

i've already taken off on fri and sun so that i wont miss the 2 service which is the most important event in the christian calender... the other one being christmas... but i not sure if i'll go back on fri nite or sat morning... must see how first... but hope can confirm it faster if not v hard to plan things...

change in mounting timing

since the last mount, the taking over timing had been changed from 9am to 12pm... and now the static will be done b4 duty instead of on dismounting day... so now means that if there's no static we'll book in later instead of booking out earlier... although both have their good pts and now can wake up later, but it also means that the book out timing will definitely be later then 1pm... currently still need sometime to get use to it, esp if booking in at 10+... quite weird to book in so late...

this month is also quite terrible to say... with so many accident and vehicle breakdown and mis com... this wk got another friend involve in motorcycle accident and got injured... why like that? and i think as of now i'll never want to learn a bike.. if i want i think i'll go for class 4...

and a quater of this yr has pass.. tmr is april and also april foo... hahaha... hope it'll better then this month... have fever of those things pls... if not i'm going crazy soon... and also this coming week is the holy week, starting from palm sunday tmr till easter next sun, as we journey with christ to the cross and his cruxification...

Finally the newbies are posted in...

finally, out 14th batch newbies are posted in this morning during the heavy downpour... yup they're finally here after waitng for 1 year! tomorrow will be the 1 year anniversary that i complete the OJT and started doing duty officially... but they'll be going through the 3 month course and OJT first before coming to take over duty... so we'll still have another 3 mths of normal and siong duty...

the duty for this mount was actually quite easy one... not too siong... cos got NSmen to help out... but becos some ppl took MC so in the end was like not much different from normal days... sianz... so far i still havent took any MC yet and hopefully i do not have to lar... no point saying that cos everytime other ppl take so i must take also unless its really serious then no choice la... but i should be taking off soon during the easter weekend but havent decide how am i taking it yet...

ahh.. so busy!!! and my camera's down...

ahh... have been so busy then expected ever since the CNY ended, and had my schedule so fully pack and didnt really have a chance to seat in front of the com peacefully... but thank god there's time to go with god through the retreat last weekend...

there was the my friend's accident and we had a visit to him, then the IT show, food fair, retreat, and also got a new spectacle, a dental appointment and also to send my camera for repair... phew... so many things for the past 2 weeks or so... so virtually spend most of my time outside so now everything has pile up again... and sorry ppl still havent upload the CNY photos and yuan xiao fireworks as i still havent sort them out...

the retreat last weekend went quite smoothly, and we really had a good time spent with god and also had a good fellowship with our bro and sis... god was really good and it did not rain during the retreat even though it looks like its going to rain when we were at the beach and also the bbq... but i dun have many photos from the retreat cos my camera was already not working properly then, so must wait for my frenz...

then today sent the camera for repair... hopefully can still have the warrently cos it juz expires 2 wks ago... must wait for their reply... if not if too ex i think just get a new one is better... so see how lor... and also today is also the 5th year anniversary that i last wear school uniform... it was on 22 March 2002, which was my last day in JJC for the 1st 3 mths... although it's already half a decade, but it seems like yesterday... time really flies...

later watching the mr bean movie b4 booking in... got ippt tmr again so have to book in tonight... but confirm fail one la, no time to train up...

4 years in Christ!

Happy Birthday! yeah... not my own physical birthday but my spiritual birthday, cos it was on this day 4 years ago that i pray and receive christ... you're also 'born again' into god's family... yeap, time really flies and i've known our lord and saviour jesus christ for 4 years already... but i have to manage my time properly to make full use of my time to go and explore this wonderful kingdom more, cos currently always screw up the time management and thus always ended up with things undone, including reading god's word which is totally not good...

also another thing is that i'm less than 1/2 year to ORD! and 4 1/2 months to NTU... this also calls for a need for time management... if not i think i'll go crazy after sch starts, from the current judgement now that i predict... so must really overhaul the entire time management...

a shocking week, and IT show is back...

it's been a shocking few days since monday, with so many unexpected things that happened, but i just summarise here cos some of the info are confidential...

on mon one of our friend crash his motorcycle onto a kerb and sustain some injuries to his face and body... luckily it is not so serious... then on tue there's another 4 car collision but this doesnt involve ppl i know... then a few hrs later an earthquake hit indonesia and some parts of singapore felt it too, like those in CBD and also part of the airbase...

then on wed we went to visit our friend in hospital... while on the way one of them who's driving accidentaily hit a cyclist... the cyclist doesnt fell down but complain of pain, and is quite demanding in compansation... eventually he was bought to the hospital and was paid some cash... so all these event make the past few days so shocking and i really dunno what to say... thank god everyone is safe in god's hand and no one sustain serious injury...

the IT show is back, and i went there this afternoon... i bought an 320GB external hard disk to store all my files and photos as i'm expected to run out of storage space soon with all the photos and videos taken from the past few months... i also bought a webcam so next time can do video chatting with me, if u also have one... but i havent install yet... i think next week then can do it cos it's so late now amd i'm going to slp liao... tmr is anothe wkend mount so i dun think can go back to the IT show again.:( wait for the PC show lor...

Goodbye CNY, Festive Season...

it's goodbye to chinese new year, and also the festive season which has been happening since deepavali in oct... so now... back to normal times...

just catch the last fireworks for this cny... not that many ppl compared to the 1st day and got a good spot even though i only reach the area abt 20 mins before it starts... will be uploading the video soon... the next time there's fireworks should be during national day, and by then i'm abt to ORD loh...

will miss all the fun for the festive season, although will still have some fun during normal times lar... and till the next one, its to prepare to study in NTU in july and also to cut down weight... oh no!

Yuan Xiao Jie

so fast... it's yuan xiao jie liao, and in a few hrs time CNY and the festive season will be over... and it has been a long and exciting time which has started all the way since deepavali in oct... after today i'll need to start to reduce weight and also to prepare for study loh... haha...

on fri after bookout went home first then after that got our platoon cohesion at sakae sushi... suppose to be at funan but i think cos of the rain so last min change to suntec... cos no shelter to funan... then i think somehow not everyone got informed and some ppl still go to the funan one... we had the hi-tea buffet which afte adding those 15% is abt $19.40... actually is not v cheap cos the varaity is quite little compare to the suki one... then last time i went for ala-carte each person only $7... after that met my ex-crusader also at city hall area, then we go carl's jr..

today also met a few of my crusaders for dinner then after that watch the movie Rocky Babola at marina sq... actually wanted to watch the letters from Iwo Jima but no seats liao... so change to this show lor... it's quite boring for most part of the show to say, and the cinema is only abt 1/2 fill, compare to the others where all are almost full...

still dunno if need to book in tonight or not... haven't receive any info yet... hopefully dont receive then will be mon morning... and better dont give last min info, like evening then call say must book in tonight... will cause a big upset in the time planning...
