It had been like 2 years since i last went Sentosa, where I went with my poly mates after graduation. Took the blue line bus to Siloso Beach. Upon reaching, some of the others had already reached. As my leg was injured I could not join the rest in the games, so mainly the jaga or the cameraman. Great thing was Benson brought his DV Cam. Awhile later SG Linah, SG Singh and SG Oh Sze arrived.
We had lots of fun and took many pictures, which i would be uploading soon. After the fun at Sentosa, we went to Suntec to have dinner " Fish N Co", treated by our NAVY personels JC and Kelvin Lee.

You prefer to be alone rather than with friends and that could make you a little less interesting to certain types of guys.

Your boyfriend believes that you are a strong and independent person. Your confidence and cheerfulness make you an attractive person to be around, but sometimes you need to pay more attention to what other people, including your boyfriend, are thinking.
Your Working Style
You have a great deal of warmth, but may not show it until you know a person well. You keep your warm side inside, like a fur-lined coat. When you are care, you care deeply, but are more likely to show your feeling by deeds rather than words. You are very faithful to duties and obligations related to things or people you care about.
You take a very personal approach to life, judging everything by your inner ideals and personal values. You stick to your values with passionate conviction, but can be influenced by someone you care deeply about. Although your inner loyalties and ideals govern your lives, you find these hard to talk about. Your deepest feelings are seldom expressed; your inner tenderness is masked by quiet reserve.
In everyday activities you are tolerant, open-mind, flexible, and adaptable. If one of your inner loyalties is threatened, though, you will not give and inch. You usually enjoy the present moment, and do not like to spoil it by rushing to get thing done. You have little wish to impress or dominate.

You want your work to contribute to something that matters to you-- human understanding, happiness, or health. You want to have a purpose beyond your paycheck, no matter how big the check. You are perfectionists whenever you deeply care about something, and are particularly suited for work that requires both devotion and a large measure of adaptability.
The problem for you is that you may feel such a contrast between your inner ideals and your actual accomplishments that you may burden yourself with a sense of inadequacy. This can be true even when you are being as effective as others. You take for granted anything you do well and are the most modest of all the types, tending to underrate and understate yourself.
It is important for you to find practical ways to express your ideals; otherwise you will keep dreaming of the impossible and accomplish very little. If you find no actions to express your ideal, you can become too sensitive and vulnerable, with dwindling confidence in life and in yourself. Actually, you have much to give and need only to find the spot where you are needed.

We are the underpaid, led by the unqualified, to do the unnecessary for the ungrateful by 3238, Sept 05
After monday's CO COC, yesterday we had Div Comd COC (Division Command Change of Command). Since Tuesday, our parade square and company was very busy as they rehearsed for the parades. Around 6 contingents were involved. From HQ, Signals, Armour, Infantry, Artilery and Logistics. There were many RSMs, (Regimental Sergant Majors, commanders who look over the discipline of a battalion). Most of the RSMs, are from Commandos, and you could only hear the shoutings of them in the Parade Square, because they call the shots. Even commissioned officers are afraid of them.
The parade is very similar to the CO COC's however there is now a flag party, so its more impressive. Didn't managed to watch much of the reharsal, as we were advised not to look at the parade, asking for trouble. To the CSMs and RSMs, Parades and Parade Square are scared, they expect no unecessary movement during reharssal. After the marching contingents, there was even a mobile column, whereby, vehicles from respective formations drive past the outgoing Div Comd and saluating, impressive just like National Day. We were roped to do line of honour all the way to guard room to wave goodbye to the ex Div Comd, approx 400m. He left in a modified rover, fitted with the number plate 81 MID, just like his Audi and a star to represent his rank.
Last Thursday, we were supposed to help out with some things, but later postponed till noon, so we stayed in bunk and unknowingly fell asleep. Out of a sudden, our CSM came up and found all of us sleeping. He ordered us to see him in the office in 5mins time, DIE. CSM gave scolded us, and gave us a weekend confinement next week, our node warrants were present to console us.
The senior officers upon knowing our offence, decided to push every blame to us, from the older node which ord. They said that we were, lazy, slacking, defiant and even insubordination !!! Just because we were caught sleeping, by CSM don't meant insubordination, this word is too harsh. Even when we had to burn weekends for NDP, we did not defied any orders. I guess the reasons for venting their anger on us, was becasue of the older nodes, complained about their management. They even made a node shirt criticing the company and OC. I think the senior officers should not vent their anger on us, and sit back and reflect what went wrong, why the older nodes are so unhappy with them. We are innocent man drawing a meagre pay compared to them. You only do how much you are being paid.
As last Thursday was also my cousin's wedding I took half day off, left after lunch. Slept on the train and missed my stop, supposed to stop at Kallang got down at Bedok and went to catch the next train. This cousin is from my mother's side. Didn't had a vague impression of the family, except during Lunar New Year. The last wedding event I attended was some 4 years ago also one of my cousin, but he is very close to us. 2 weeks ago went to his house, for his twins babies full month celebration.
My mother and I took taxi to Regent Hotel and reached around 730pm. There was a long jam at Orchard. At the hotel lobby, saw a Jaguar sports car, quite rare. Went to congratualte the newly wed, soon my relatives came. The bride looked a bit like " Dai Qian Yun" new star search actress. We were ushered to the ballroom. As we were related so got sitted, near to the stage. But somehow, I was arranged to sit with my other cousins (no adults) at a table, shiok sial, sure lots of fun man, no paisehness. Talked cock alot and laugh at almost anything, btw I was the only male there haha. First time taste hard liquor and red wine, found the taste very funny, I wonder why people like to drink. There was video presentation, on the bridegroom and bride. Their baby photos, all the way to engagement, they also had a guessing game. 3 male would kiss the bride and the bride would have to guess which is the groom. The groom would hold 6 girls' hands to guess which belongs to his bride. The funny part was on the 5th person, the hotel manager gave his hand to the groom. The dinner was nothing fantastic except for sharks fin. Most of the time we were chatting didn't eat much.
At around 11pm, the dinner ended and some started to left. My cosuin, Ah Seng decided to drive my mother, 2nd auntie, 4th uncle and me back. I guess he was very tipsy, drank alot he started to talk about things we never heard before.He talked about how he suffered when his father passed away at a very young age like mine and how he had to work so hard before enjoying his fruits of labour. He is grateful for the support his relatives gave him during his journey.
On the way back, he asked me many questions.
Ah Seng> Have you got any plans after NS?
Me> Still thinking.
Ah Seng> A person must have goals, be it short of long term. Short term like ord and long term, being a successful businessman. I had put in alot of hardwork to acheived my long term goal. I heard you studied IT, the IT industry is so big, which areas are you goiing to devote your heart and soul into?
Me> Confused
I guess, he being in the workforce for so many years, had attended many motivational talks by professors or public speakers. It was like 1-2 yrs i last seen him. He had changed so much, speaking so eloquently and confidently. After talking to me, alot went through my mind.
I felt very useless. I practically wasted my time during school and poly. I did not score fantastic results for my exams or projects to make my parents proud. They did not give me any pressure when I was studying, and encouraged me, saying I put in effort and improve the next time. All the while, my studies had always been average, I did not motivate myself, put in any hardwork. I felt I had disappoint them and wasted alot of money. Especially during poly, I wondered how I survived through. I would find the lessons so boring and would sleep or skip lessons, but never gave the lectures any major problems. I finally graduated with a simple diploma which was so common.
My future is so uncertain
Long term goals
1) Make many friends. I am a introvert person, so I don't have many friends. Even if I do, normally we tend to forget when we graduate, or leave. Till this date, I got a handful of friends that are worth keeping, and not those, who lie, cheat, gossip or backstab you. I am very bad at maintaining relationships, till this date I don't know whats the reason can somebody advise me.
2) Put in hardwork, determination, discipline, diligence and motivation in something which I am going to devote myself in the future and acheiving feasible and promising results so that i can look after my mother and sister. Being 21, the sole breadwinner of the family, I can no longer everytime depend on my mother who is old and my sister who is visually handicapped.
3) Find my ideal lifetime partner
4) Buy my dream Mitsubishi Evolution 6
Short term goals
1) ORD
2) Find girlfriend

2) After the jugdes verfied you are legal, they will give each player 1 pack of cards of 75 cards and another 2 packs of cards with 13 cards each.
3) After you opened them, you had to checked them on alist.
4) At the end, you form your deck and wait for the next round.
Initially formed a white-red deck, but finally chose a white-green.
My first opponent
We had almost identical deck man, can you believe our 1st round took 20mins, which even ended with a draw with library death. The second round, tried to be more offensive still the same. In the end, also draw. 1/2 (Draw)
Second opponent
I couldn't believe it man, I was against my army buddy Wilson, what a coincidence, buy 4d also not so heng. SO many people we can also be paired up. In the end I won him 2/3. (Win)
Third opponent
This guy looks damn pro man, played a Black, Green, White deck. Though the deck are new, he new the combo to play. 0/3. (lost)
Fourth opponent
Sec 5 boy, played a white- red deck. For 2 times, i wack him till he left 5 life remaining, i don't know how he manged to wipeout all my creatures and gained so much life. 1/3. (lost)
After this match, we both went to collect additional packs. Garrad, Siyan and Wilson decided to sign up the 2nd event, so I left and went beach road to sew my rank on my smartest 4 for parade. It was a rather new experience, playing with strangers on a fair deck, created on the spot. Well in camp, Garrad and Si Yan had much powerful deck that they spent building, possibility of winning them is pure luck.
Everyday around 8am draw arms, 9am start drills till around 1130. Then go for lunch back around 2pm to further drill till around 5 then dinner. During drills, so scorching hot, sleepy, wet, tired, numbness and achings. After UIP, life got much much muchhhh better. Got rank, beret, no need to march and sing, go for meals OTOT, basically the commanders would not be finding fault with you.
Last Monday was CO evening, also a farewell party for our current CO. We had buffet, standard stuff like fried bee hoon, mee, fried rice, chicken wings ... !!! OYSTERS, FRIED ICE CREAM, HANDMADE SUSHI BY A CHEF !!! wah this is new, guess they spent quite alot.
Almost everynight, we would be screening movies at the company's mess. Garrad brought alot of Stepehn Chow's movies. Most of his shows are damn cock man. Friday lots of sai gang to do, though commanders helped out, still last company to book out.
Most of the seniors clearing leave. WOndering whether to go Ravnica prerelease.
This morning set alarm at 7am, couldn't get up. Garrad called to confirm that i was going to prerelease at Suntec. Reached Suntec around 820, waited for Garrad. By the time we reached the place, there were quite a number of people there. First time joining such event. Garrad told me, that I would be competing with 4 people in the first round. OMG, playing with total strangers damn paiseh.
