you better run run run run...

and so E coy fieldcamp ended. i guess the next time i see the recruits in my section will be during their graduation parade. Although it was just a short few days of interaction with the recruits from A and E coy, i made an effort to know more about them besides just teaching them what they need to know. sometimes, i just wish that i can spend more time with my recruits and get to know them better, rather than to just teach and go. haiz. thinking back, i have taken 5 batches of recruits already. L, C, F, A and E. few weeks later will be my 6th batch le, F coy. raja, a recruit from my 3rd batch was talking to me on fb just now. i still remembered he was the one who cant shoot well during his recruit days. felt really happy for him when he was telling me that he obtained marksman for his 1st year shoot. congrats! it's really nice to know that my recruits still remember you even though graduated long ago.

next mon going for my dental appointment @ ktph. as for tues, thurs and fri, i'll be attached out to assist in the NCC live range @ neesoon camp. praying that the range will end early for each day and not drag until very late. haha. sat will be back in tekong to conduct lesson. 20 more days to SCmarathon. i need to start running, but it has been raining recently. the last time i ran was the nike city 10k run. 'you better run run run run...' (run bear bear run)

festival of lights

happy deepavali to all! just completed A coy's 4-day fieldcamp on thursday. fieldcamp site was full of mosquitoes. next fieldcamp will be the one for E coy which starts next mon and ends on sat. talking about sat, i drove to jalan kayu for supper last sat night. what's so special was that i drove on my own, without the supervision of my pa. it has been 1year 5months since i passed my driving test and pa finally agreed to let me drive alone. i guess this means that i will be going out for supper quite often. haha. was looking at ukulele this afternoon. came across this cute website - ukulele hunt. the more i see, the more i feel like getting one. Lanikai LU-21 Soprano Ukulele! hahaha. alright. ma asking me to go drink soup. shall end here.

77 days left.

明天会更好 - 群星

明天会更好 - 群星 (video)

轻轻敲醒沉睡的心灵
慢慢张开你的眼睛
看看忙碌的世界
是否依然孤独的转个不停
春风不解风情
吹动少年的心
让昨日脸上的泪痕
随记忆风干了

抬头寻找天空的翅膀
候鸟出现它的影迹
带来远处的饥荒
无情的战火依然存在的消息
玉山白雪飘零
燃烧少年的心
使真情溶化成音符
倾诉遥远的祝福

唱出你的热情
伸出你的双手
让我拥抱着你的梦
让我拥有你真心的面孔
让我们的笑容
充满着青春的骄傲
为明天献出虔诚的祈祷

谁能不顾自己的家园
抛开记忆中的童年
谁能忍心看那昨日的忧愁
带走我们的笑容
青春不解红尘
胭脂沾染了灰
让久违不见的泪水
滋润了你的面容

唱出你的热情
伸出你的双手
让我拥抱着你的梦
让我拥有你真心的面孔
让我们的笑容
充满着青春的骄傲
为明天献出虔诚的祈祷
轻轻敲醒沉睡的心灵

慢慢张开你的眼睛
看看忙碌的世界
是否依然孤独的转个不停
日出唤醒清晨
大地光彩重生
让和风拂出的音响
谱成生命的乐章

唱出你的热情
伸出你的双手
让我拥抱着你的梦
让我拥有你真心的面孔
让我们的笑容
充满着青春的骄傲
让我们期待着明天会更好

ukulele!

i dont know what to say. hope that everything will be fine for all after some shouting. maybe it's better to let out what you kept in your heart or mind for some time. i really hope we are still ONE team. alright. i'm tired. let's watch some videos to cheer everyone up.

I'm Yours(ukulele) - Super funny. 'got to scratch my nose'. watch it and you will know why. Do watch his other videos as well. talented kid.

Hey Jude - berrar berrar berrar berrar BERRAR AHHHHHH. zai. he can remember the lyrics.

kids are bundles of joy. arent they cute? haha.

wisdom tooth

khoo teck puat hospital. nice environment. it seems less crowded than other hospital like ttsh. saw students studying at ktph too. lol. the staff at the dental centre located at the sixth floor was very helpful and friendly. i guess i'm not going for the free minor surgery to extract my wisdom teeth since they are not out yet and only one is out by a little bit only. they are not causing any problem yet. met thomas and his dad. he (i mean thomas, not his dad) was extracting his wisdom teeth. booked another appointment on 15 nov to polish my teeth. was a little disappointed that it wont be covered by saf. hahaha. no need to book in tonight. yay! tmr is my off day.

october

havent been here for a long time. i slept throughout the whole of september. 'wake me up when september ends'. HAHAHA. alright. that's all for now. i'm really tired. shall go sleep already. dental appointment @ khoo teck puat hospital tmr morning.

sweet 16

ran 16km on friday to train for army half marathon which is two weeks away from now. enjoyed the morning run. 1st 8km was slow and steady, with nicholas and weizhou by my side. we talked while running and even sang. went a little faster after that. hopefully can complete the full 21km under 2h on 12sep.

went to simlim with few of my bunk mates yesterday to see see look look around. i'm still thinking whether to get an external hard drive. probably i'll be going to the comex show next weekend. visited the army market @ beach road too. came back to yishun and went for a hair cut.

went back to bugis today. -.- sing song session @ top one ktv with bernard, hongkai and justin. just reached home not long ago. shall go have my dinner now. booking in later lo! haha.

things to do next week:
1. cycle to MacRitchie
2. visit Comex show

tiring week

it rained for the last 5 days when we were out for fieldcamp. this fieldcamp was much better than the previous one with the other coy. overall, things went smoothly. had a night mission on friday morning at 0240. the mission was to plan a bomb (which is an alarm clock) at the enemy's harbour site. i had 3 recruits following me. it was quite tough. the harbour area was well guarded with patrolling team and also sentries. the misson wasnt successful. anyway, it was quite fun although we were super tired.

Freestyler - Bomfunk MC's

heard this song when i was in bali @ MAMA'S German Restaurant. a song which brings back memories when i was in anderson sec. a song which all andersonians know.

Freestyler - Bomfunk MC's

Freestyler...rock the microphone

'Cause we're friendly for ozone
But that's not all so hold on
Tight, as I rock the mic right
Oh.. excuse me, pardon

(Scratches)

Styles, steelos, we bring many kilos
So you could pick yours, from the various
Ambitious, nutrious, delicious, delirious
Or vicious, just tell us
We deliver anything from accappellas
To propellers, suckers get jealous
But their soft like marshmellows
you know they can't handle us
like debbie does dallas

happy 45th birthday singapore!

back from the beautiful island of taksi and mushroom weeks ago. haha. those who have been to bali will understand why taksi and mushroom. a great place for holiday though. stayed at home for one week+ since last sat because of hand food mouth disease. -.- went out just now to catch 'street dance'. it's not bad, but 'step up' is nicer i guess. anyway, it's 9th aug. so...

HAPPY 45TH BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!

byebye tekong. hello bali!

another loooong break until 25th july. will be going to bali on wed. yay! this trip wasnt well planned. aiya. enough about the planning process. it was totally screwed up. anyway, hope that the 6 of us who are going will enjoy ourselves during the 4 days over at bali.

finished watching mall cop yesterday and karate kid just now. probably will go hunt for a Bali travel guide tmr though i read up a little on bali and took down some notes. i just dont feel safe without a travel guidebook. hahah. but first, i shall look for some nice movies to watch. yeah.

byebye tekong. hello ubin.

long break. clearing off and leave at the moment. booked out last thurs afternoon. went to ubin on sat with my cousins. $2.50 one-way boat ride, $10 bike rental fee. it's durian season. so there are a lot of durians hanging on the trees and everyone is waiting for them to drop. durian lovers who want to have a durian buffet can pay $5 for two-way trip to ubin for the feast. a good deal.

met up with lejun and bernard on sun. went jalan jalan at simlim and bugis. took a train down to buona vista in the later afternoon to meet sme team mates. bbq at ethan's house. something funny, or rather embarrassing happened while on my way down to buona vista. i was on the train watching 'drag me to hell'. there was this scene near the beginning which took place at the carpark, with the mysterious old lady's handkerchief floating around. then came a sudden pop-up of the handkerchief. LOL. that scene made me jump. most people facing me saw me jump up. so embarrassing la. i guess some tried to tahan not to laugh out lo. heck la. i continued the ride but watched 500 days of summer instead. moral of the story: never ever watch horror film on public transport.

bbq turned out well. just that we ordered a little too much food. haha. only a few of us stayed back to watch world cup final. left at 5.30am and back to home to sleep. had dinner with ronald at northpoint last night. i've been going out everyday. finally can stay home for today and tmr. shall tidy up my room later. maybe a run tmr morning, provided that the weather is good and i can wake up early. haha.

孤单心事 - 蓝又时

孤单心事 - 蓝又时

雨下在我窗前
玻璃也在流眼泪
街上的人都看起来
比我幸福一点

用寂寞来测验
还是最想要你陪
曾一起走过的夏天
我常常会梦见

我猜不到你真正的感觉
思念写成脸上的黑眼圈
有的时候我宁愿
你对我坏一点
无法停止幻想
我们的永远

爱你是孤单的心事
不懂你微笑的意思
只能像一朵向日葵
在夜里默默的坚持

爱你是孤单的心事
多希望你对我诚实
一直爱着你
用我自己的方式

我在你的心里
有没有一点特别
就怕你终究没发现
我还是在你身边

我猜不到你真正的感觉
思念写成脸上的黑眼圈
有的时候我宁愿
你对我坏一点
无法停止幻想
我们的永远

爱你是孤单的心事
不懂你微笑的意思
只能像一朵向日葵
在夜里默默的坚持

爱你是孤单的心事
多希望你对我诚实
一直爱着你
用我自己的方式

爱你是孤单的心事
不懂你微笑的意思
只能像一朵向日葵
在夜里默默的坚持

爱你是孤单的心事
多希望你对我诚实
一直爱着你
用我自己的方式

duties

i came home this morning. booking out on a book-in day. did COS duty yesterday. more duties coming my way next week. haha. took part in the National Runway Cycling & Skating 2010 at paya lebar air base. had off last monday. went out with bernard to get spray paint. we went to beach road army market to find. lol. we ended up eating ah balling tangyuan @ golden mile food centre. a must-try peanut soup tangyuan with fillings like red bean, peanut, black sesame, yam and also green tea.

last fri was my last day in f coy as a section commander. a little sad to leave the coy because of the recruits and most of the nice commanders. but no worries, i'll see them around on the beautiful island of pulau tekong. haha. finally finished reading 'the last song' by nicholas sparks which i borrowed from nicholas goh. hopefully can get a nice book during my next nights out.

home sweet home

i'm finally home. had off today. had been in camp for 2 weeks plus due to recruits' 2 week confinement. went out to cut hair in the late morning and slacked at home. booking in later at night as i'm having duty tmr. will be out again on sat. there's National Runway Cycling & Skating 2010 on sun. 45km cycling. wooo!

today is 17june. one year ago, i received my driving licence. one year already! no need to display triangular plate anymore! haha.

It's the same as always. Nothing has changed.

message in a bottle

i finished this book last week. borrowed it from my bed buddy, nicholas goh taeyeon. LOL. it's super nice. very touching. a must-read book!

past 2 weeks

spent last sat and today at the same place. east coast park. last sat was passion run. the route was a little boring as some parts of it were repeated. my timing a bit slow. could have gone faster a little. felt super tired during and after the run. honestly speaking, i enjoyed last year's standard chartered marathon more than this run. probably because i last min kenna arrowed (while on my way to ecp) to do duty on sun (230510). haha. nevertheless, it's still a good experience.

went cycling with bernard, justin and hongkai today. started from pasir ris park. followed the park connecter. passed by changi village, east coast park, siglap, bedok, tampines and back to pasir ris. took quite a number of photos. uploaded them on facebook already. alright. shall end here.

squarish day

went to amk kpool with bernard, justin and hongkai. had lunch before justin left as he had to book in this evening. headed to novena to collect the race pack for the passion run 2010. novena is a squarish area, with novena square, square 2 and also united square. LOL. frappuccino @ starbucks and then took 851 back to yishun.

English translation

Even slight pains make me teary.
My heart cries out.
When I pass by you,
you are the whole world,
I dream of you only.
Yet, in front of you, I hold my breath.

As if you and I aren’t meant to be,
as if it’s merely a passing moment,
you pass by me so casually.
But I can’t go near you,
can’t even take a step forward.

You make me hang around you.
You make me cry.
Like an idiot, like a child
I rather laugh it off.

The closer I go to you,
the more scared I get.
Yet, this love cannot be stopped.
Why is it that my love is so slow to come?
Why is it that my love is so hard to get?
Even when I’m by your side,
you are the whole world,
all I can see is you,
yet, in front of you, I can only stare into the distance.

As if you and I are done,
As if this is the last moment,
you pass by me so casually.
But I can’t go near you,
can’t even take a step forward.

You make me hang around you.
You make me cry.
Like an idiot, like a child,
I rather laugh it off.

The closer I go to you,
the more scared I get.
Yet, this love cannot be stopped.

From far away,
only for a moment,
if I can only gaze at you,
that is love.

When this waiting and longing somehow
reach you and you hear them,
just pretend nothing happened.

The closer I go to you,
the more scared I get.
Yet, this love cannot be stopped.

突然好想你 - 五月天

突然好想你 - 五月天

最怕空气突然安静
最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆突然翻滚
绞痛着不平息
最怕突然听到你的消息

想念如果会有声音
不愿那是悲伤的哭泣
事到如今
终于让自已属于我自已
只剩眼泪还骗不过自己

突然好想你
你会在哪里
过得快乐或委屈
突然好想你
突然锋利的回忆
突然模糊的眼睛

我们像一首最美丽的歌曲
变成两部悲伤的电影
为什么你
带我走过最难忘的旅行
然后留下最痛的纪念品

我们那么甜 那么美
那么相信
那么疯 那么热烈的曾经
为何我们
还是要奔向各自的幸福
和遗憾中老去

突然好想你
你会在哪里
过得快乐或委屈
突然好想你
突然锋利的回忆
突然模糊的眼睛

最怕空气突然安静
最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆突然翻滚
绞痛着不平息
最怕突然听到你的消息

最怕此生已经决定自己过
没有你却又突然
听到你的消息

no need to book in!

Qingming Festival (清明节)

had a gathering with my bmt friends yesterday. we played badminton at tampines sports hall. so long since i last picked up my badminton racket to play. went to catch clash of the titans at the cinema after that. honestly speaking, it wasnt as nice as i thought. but still, not bad la. stayed home today. supposed to go 扫墓, paying respects to your loved ones who have deceased. but it rained the whole day since yesterday. in the end, i slept through my afternoon. must be the weather la, too nice for sleeping le. haha.

清明时节雨纷纷，
路上行人欲断魂。
借问酒家何处有？
牧童遥指杏花村。

i've always liked 清明节. it's a time when you can see families getting together, going to the cemetery to 扫墓. although your loved ones may have already passed away, they will always be remembered by their family members.

清明节习俗、诗词欣赏

time to rest

i'm home. came back yesterday evening. was having a fever back in camp. temp went up to 39.3. didnt manage to attend sports day and also recruits' evening, which is taking place now i guess. haiya.

1 year had passed. still the same troubled feelings. there's not much time left. 怎么办?

ZzZzZz

i slept through my weekend. felt weak and dizzy. didnt know that cough and flu can be so bad. must be partly because of the stupidly hot weather. i feel so sticky even when i'm doing nothing much. haha. booking-in later in the evening with the recruits. siansian. my weekend just slipped away. ZzZzZz...

Stay The Same - Joey Mcintyre

Don't you ever wish
You were someone else,
You were meant to be
The way you are exactly.

Don't you ever say
You don't like the way you are.
When you learn to love yourself,
You're better off by far.

And I hope you always stay the same,
Cause there's nothing 'bout you
I would change.

I think that you could be
Whatever you wanted to be
If you could realize,
All the dreams you have inside.

Don't be afraid
If you've got something to say,
Just open up your heart
And let it show you the way.

Don't you ever wish
You were someone else,
You were meant to be
The way you are exactly.

Don't you ever say
You don't like the way you are.
When you learn to love yourself,
You're better off by far.

And I hope you always stay the same,
Cause there's nothing 'bout you
I would change.

Believe in yourself.
Reach down inside.
The love you find will set you free.

Believe in yourself,
You will come alive.
Have faith in what you do.
You'll make it through.

Don't you ever wish
You were someone else,
You were meant to be
The way you are exactly.

Don't you ever say
You don't like the way you are.
When you learn to love yourself,
You're better off by far.

And I hope you always stay the same,
Cause there's nothing 'bout you
I would change.

小星星 - 王心凌

小星星 - 王心凌

城市里 小星星 稀疏的 亮晶晶
太多光 吃掉他们的身影
就像我 爱上你 隐没在 灯海里
你眼中 只看繁华的夜景

我的爱藏在你的 背影里
像渺小却坚定的 恒星

天黑的时候 我远远陪着你
再小的闪烁 也努力放光明
当有天我在夜空里面 偶尔被发现
希望我眨眼 能感动你视线

想把小星星 排成爱的图形
为你的天空 点缀一些惊奇
即使像流星一闪而过 寂寞也情愿
不求你看见 只想为你发光永远

雨天里 小星星 孤单的 湿淋淋
你躲在 有人陪伴的伞底
就像我 总被你 遗忘在 晴空里
月光下 才有机会想念你

我的爱藏在你的 背影里
像渺小却坚定的 恒星

天黑的时候 我远远陪着你
再小的闪烁 也努力放光明
当有天我在夜空里面 偶尔被发现
希望我眨眼 能感动你视线

想把小星星 排成爱的图形
为你的天空 点缀一些惊奇
即使像流星一闪而过 寂寞也情愿
不求你看见 只想为你发光永远

海派甜心

i finshed watching 桃花小妹 (momo love) last week. started watching 海派甜心 (hi my sweetheart). these 2 dramas are super funny. nicenice. supposed to meet lejun for a run in the morning today, but he overslept. hahaha. did nothing much today. went to cycle in the late afternoon.

chongpang, khatib camp, sembawang golf course, nee soon camp, upper thomson road, upper seletar reservoir (many many monkeys around), james cook university, bishan park, AMKhub, anderson sec, ajc, yck mrt station, lentor ave (along mrt track), yishun stadium, khatib mrt station, yishun mrt station and back home.

whole journey took around 2h++. went for a dinner yesterday night. grandma, fourth uncle and aunt were there. "二叔想念你啦!" grandma said this before leaving. hmm. cny coming le. all the relatives can get together again. yeah! i finished 2 more books. i attempted to read Malgudi Days by R.K. Narayan, but couldnt finish it. it's just not the kind of book i want to read. haha. looking for more nice ones. any good books to recommend?

making a difference

i just went to play basketball with DT. who is DT? david tao (陶喆)? nono. DT is david tan, one of the students from yishun cdac shg. he was asking me to go play basketball in the morning. went back to cdac for a meeting last week. remembered wayne (yishun shg coordintor) mention smth about mentoring. he said that mentoring is not just about tutoring and teaching the kids, but also building relationship with them. sometimes it seems as if the volunteers are just teaching them for that few hours every sat and byebye then go home. however, some of the kids were asking if i'm going back this year to teach them on msn or fb and DT have been asking me out to play basketball. it does feels so good to be remembered by the children not only during that few hours every sat, doesnt it? yeah.

Close - Westlife

记忆里，那是第一次，但会不会也是最后一次？希望不是吧。

Close - Westlife

Across the miles
It's funny to me
How far you are but how
Near you seem to be
I could talk all night
Just to hear you breathe
I could spend my life
Just living this dream
You're all I'll ever need

You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love,
Someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been
I've never been this close

With all the loves
I used to know
I kept my distance
I never let go
But in your arms
I know I'm safe
'Cause I've never been held
And I've never been kissed in this way
Oh, you're all I'll ever need
You're all I'll ever need

You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love,
Someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been
I've never been this close

Close enough to see it's true
Close enough to trust in you
Closer now than any words can say
And when, when I'm in your arms,
I need you to know
I've never been
I've never been this close

You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love,
Someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been
I've never been
Oh, no, I swear,
I've never been
I've never been this close

All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey

All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey (funny version)
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas
Is you

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby

Oh I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding onto me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You

Oh all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas
Is you

All I want for Christmas
Is you baby
All I want for Christmas
Is you baby
All I want for Christmas
Is you baby

way back into love

dont know if you will see this. but still, happy birthday! ^^

If You're Not The One - Daniel Bedingfield

If You're Not The One - Daniel Bedingfield

If you're not the one, then why does my soul feel glad today
If you're not the one, then why does my hand fit yours this way
If you are not mine, then why does your heart return my call
If you you are not mine, would I have the strength to stand at all

I never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We'll make it through and I hope
You are the one I share my life with

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there anyway that I can stay in your arms

If I don't need you, then why am I crying on my bed
If I don't need you, then why does your name resound in my head
If you're not for me, then why does this distance name my life
If you're not for me, then why do I dream of you as my wife

I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through and I hope
You are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray that you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there anyway that I can stay in your arms

'Cause I miss your body and soul so strong
That it takes my breath away
And I breath you into my heart
And I pray for the strength to stand today

'Cause I love you whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
And though my heart is by your side

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there anyway that I can stay in your arms

another nice song by Kelly Clarkson. but i always feel emo when listening to it.

Already Gone - Kelly Clarkson

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye

Even with our fists held high
It never would've worked out right
We were never meant for do or die

I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hold you, now I can't stop

I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you want to cry

Started with a perfect kiss then we could feel the poison set in
Perfect couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I love you so, I love you enough to let you go

I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right when you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on so I'm already gone

Already gone, already gone, already gone
Already gone, already gone, already gone, yeah

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye

I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right when you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on so I'm already gone

week 7

week 7 of aslc. a hectic and tiring week. had platoon live firing on mon. day and night. ippt on tues. was quite happy with my results. i finally can jump le. managed to jump 243cm to secure a 5 points. had prefect score but couldnt get gold because of 2.4km run. need to cut down 7secs from 9.51min to 9.44min to get gold. yeah. must try again during the next ippt provided that i can jump well too. wed was standard obstacle course (SOC). failed. my timing was 10.21min. the passing timing is 9.59min and below. felt disappointed and down. not passing SOC = staying back on sat morning for remedial training. on top of this, SOC is a vito factor in order to pass out from aslc. went to mandai area for navigation exercise. managed to find 2 of of the 3 day checkpoints. night checkpoint was easy to find. we were the 2nd detail of the company to end our navigation exercise. combat skill badge! yay! had SOC yesterday. ran the last 600m despite the fact that i was dog tired after jumping down from the 2m ramp. at that moment while running, i kept thinking about wanting to pass SOC. i made it. my timing was just nice. exactly 9.59min! hahaha. finally cleared something which i had been worrying about since the start of aslc. but still, i must keep training and do better in the future. next week is grandslam2. travelling on a chinook, river crossing, platoon attack, digging shellscrape + fire trench... confirm will be both physically and mentally drained. haiya. shall go sleep now.

mid autumn festival

YAY! 32km march is over le! starting the march at 2030 on tues night and it ended on wed afternoon. no doubt, i almost died. hahaha. river crossing took place at the 19th km mark. but it rained when we reached the crossing point. so we sought shelter under the vegetation for about an hour plus. it was super cold and i was shivering non stop. haha. the 32km march is definitely one experience i'll never forget. oh. and a big thankyou to all those who encouraged and helped me along the way. haha. it's really nice to see ppl encouraging one another during the march. yeah.

Every Car you Chase - Snow Patrol & The Police

combination of chasing cars by snow patrol and every breath you take by the Police. beautiful song.

Every Car you Chase - Snow Patrol & The Police

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We dont need
Anything
Or anyone

If i lay here
If i just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world

Oh cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

If i lay here
If i just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world

Since you've gone
I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night
I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep on crying
Baby, baby
Please..

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

Oh cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

If i lay here
If i just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world

I'll be watching you
Let's waste time
I'll be watching you
Chasing cars
I'll be watching you
I need your grace
I'll be watching you
To remind me

If i lay here
If i just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world

1st book out of ASLC

i'm back. had been running a lot in camp. 5km, 6km, 7km... will be running 10km under 65mins next week for a Combat Skill Badge. that's part of it only. there's still a 32km march and a csb shoot if not wrong. fired general purpose machine gun (GPMG). quite fun. 1st field camp was tiring. learnt several drills, carried out by a section or a platoon. 12 more weeks to go. this is just the beginning only. haiya. booked out on fri morning and walked around pasir laba camp to view the exhibition of the army open house. supposed to attend cdac dinner yerterday. but last min have to go to dad's fish farm. family gathering + annual praying during the hungry ghost festival. knew about it only on friday. met up with my cousins and other relatives. grandma asked me a similar question that my 2nd uncle asked the last time i went to the fish farm. stunned for a moment. i wonder if they will ask me again the next time i see them. hahaha.

2 weeks later

holiday ended. time to get back to camp. i'll be back in 2 weeks' time.

something to look forward to: CDAC dinner (050909)

Fly With Me - Jonas Brothers

came cross this nice song while watching night at the museum 2. yeah.

Fly With Me - Jonas Brothers

If time were still
The sun would never never find us
We could light up
The sky, tonight
I would see the world through your eyes
And leave it all behind

If it's you and me forever
If it's you and me right now
That'd be alright
Be alright
If we chase the stars to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So, won't you fly with me

Oh yeah
Gonna fly with me now

Now the past
Has come alive
And given meaning
And a reason
To give all I can
To believe once again

If it's you and me forever
If it's you and me right now
That'd be alright
Be alright
If we chase the stars to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won't you fly with me

Maybe you were just afraid
Knowing you were miles away
From a place where you needed to be
And that's right here with me

It's you and me forever
If it's You and me right now
That'd be alright
If we chase the stars to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won't you fly with me

If it's you and me forever
If it's you and me right now
That'd be alright
Be alright
If we chase the stars to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
Won't you fly
Fly
Fly with me

The Proposal

was out yesterday with cousin ronald. he's having his exams now. final year project i guess. all the best dude! went back to aj in the afternoon to collect bernard's cert. met up with ronald at bugis and we watched The Proposal, starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, at iluma. a great movie. we had a good laugh. you should stop reading my blog and go catch the movie at the nearest cinema now! haha. have been watching a lot of movies recently too. meet the spartan (a waste of time?), music and lyrics and also i love you, man! went on to bugis street, bought polo tees and bermuda. wondered around sweelee and looked at those super chio guitars! hehe.

outing at ECP (1898909)

i woke up super early at about 6+am. took train to bedok. busy weekday morning as usual. adults rushing for work. kids rushing to school. everyone was walking super fast. i guess i was the only person taking my own sweet time to walk. haha. reached bedok at about 8. met jinjia for breakfast. the rest slowly came. went to shengsiong to buy tibits and drink before proceeding to ECP. ate, drank, played cards ad frisbee while waiting for everyone to arrive. noon came and we settled our lunch at mac. rented bicycles (many single and one double). cycled to changi village. wanted to go the old changi hospital initially, but not enough time le. so we cycled all the way back to ecp again. quite tiring. i sang while on my way back to ecp. hehe. highlight of the day was actually to dig a fire trench and bury xiaowen. but xiaowen didnt come and there was no time dig the trench. since xiaowen not here, the bed buddy will take over. haha. so we attempted to dunk jonathan hu into the water. the plan failed and my bed buddy, chensijin (aka 真是鸡) was dunked instead. wahahaha. benjamin tan was dunked too.washed up before leaving the place. the rest carried on with their dinner while i took 76 back to amk to meet the stupid bernard. haha. this bernard havent even collect his alevel cert la. and i have to go collect for him one of these days. -.- ate with bernard and played pool. hongkai came along too. made our way home at about 2200. a wonderful tuesday. bernard would definitely agree with me. inside joke. lol.

i'm quit surrprised that my legs arent aching. i still thought they would ache after cycling for 4h+ yesterday. haha. just that i'm a little sunburnt. hehe.

Always Be My Baby - David Cook

Always Be My Baby - David Cook

We were as one babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine

Now you want to be free
So I'm letting you fly
Cause I know in my heart babe
Our love will never die
No...

You'll always be a part of me
I'm a part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

I ain't gonna cry no
And I won't beg you to stay
If you're determined to leave girl
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably you'll be back again
Cause ya know in your heart babe
Our love will never end no

You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

I know that you'll be back girl
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder oooohhh
I know that, you'll be right back, babe
Ooooh! baby believe me it's only a matter of time

You'll always be apart of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my my baby....

You'll always be apart of me (you will always be)
I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

Aerosmith - I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing

Aerosmith - I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing (video)

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
Far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
'Cause I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing
