http://colourmylifenow.blogspot.com/

wohooo its down to the last 4 days of our foundation term!! its been quite a journey with my bunkmates esp those who were together with me since tekong theres arnd 7 of them, memories were forged, goin thru whatever that came, when it was so tiring and persevering on together. i tink i m gonna miss them, its hard not to i guess after goin thru so much tog...

last few book outs were great, goin out shoppin/ eating and just chilling... last week end was the best altho we booked out later. we went to plaza sing to get some stuff, then onto ion, wisma, taka and then J8  =)

nights out on thurs was our last, caught step up 3 (the final dance with LEDs was so amazing) , also had a good meal at carl's jr.  for this week , we had cheveron's nite (smth like a happy hour nite at cheveron's  club) and the good thing is that for this week its a 4 day work week since monday is off in lieu for me!

toughest week over :P

finally outfield week is OVER!! what a week, waking early in the mornings, with runs/ strength circuits trainings to simulate fatigue, and outfield till 10pm when u reach back your bunk. repeating itself till our last overnight outfield yesterday. well our outfield was interesting, lots to learn. digging  was also a challenge for many of us.. muscles aching but was much less than those of bmt in tekoing  :P catching up with rest at home now.. this week would be a short bookout then booking in tonight for sunday's final high key event. off days on mon and  off in lieu on tues for sunday :) we are now halfway thru foundation term,  next week is gonna be a rather short work week yayy:)

steamboat buffet at imm crystal jade during nights out : pekking duck :P:P

yuuum!!

week 2!

boook outt!! week 2 at scs seemed to pass much faster than our 1st week, probably cause of the faster pace and more activities. last week was well spent and 1st book in with civilian clothes at 9+ pm was so nice, plus camp is now in mainland. ate out with family etc to make up for lost time. nite snacks in camp are ever so good with varying cakes/bread/cookies blah, last nite was one of the best, we had brownies/ smth like pineapple tarts , custard buns and milo wooots !  friday was the peak cause we had  SOC full run downs, then cheerleading/dance practices for sports day... haha we danced to kesha's tick tock and gwen stefani's wind it up, was quite enjoyable doin funny actions with bunch of great buddies. sports day and family engagement week todae, brought family around scs showed them my bunk and bed ...

Vesak hol break was really a great breather for most of us i guess, the past week flew past while i was trying to recover from a awful fever/ flu. sore throat was one of the worse i ever got.. havent really had the time to blog cause there was quite some  homework/ items to get/ replenish after field camp. had 3 days mc last week due to high fever, was given 2 packs of drips thru intravenous injection, luckily it was just one poke, heard from many other frens they were poked a couple of times bef the veins were found O,O   field camp was quite interesting where i had my first experience firing blank rounds, doing the movement drills and shouting under gunfire. the bangs are super loud and u needa shout damm loud to make sure ur grp can hear u haha.. there were quite a lot of high kneeling with our load bearing vests, helments and rifles so really had to bear the knee aches...took my weight after field camp and lost like 3-4 Kgs !!! amazing ! never lost so much so quickly in a week...

booked out on thursday nite and was suprised to see aunt/cousin at whitesands... cause my mum/bro were supposed to fetch me... waited for mum/bro to reach then we went to ikea for dinner with family/ cousin. it was such a luxury to have great food after field camp HEHE  =)  its so fast now im a month into BMT since i enlisted on 26 Apr, one more month then i will be thru!! :P had quite some home work to do, reflection using SAF core values and commander's appraisals.  wuld be Situational test next week so outfield for thurs fri sat, 12 Km route march to our Sit test area..

Mr Ang joined us afterwards and brought the whole exco KOI bubble tea, was SOOO kind of him cause he came from Toa Payoh, so he asked if we wanted any drinks. It was the herbal jelly and pearls milk tea, enjoyed it xD exco interviews went well, its gonna be a really super tough choice this yr, theres so much to consider.. we ended like at 8pm :P

woohoo have been eating quite some pocky these few days for J1 RC exco interviews yesterday and campaigns todae... now with just 4 days to resort world TEKONG, i shld really eat watever i like ? but im a bit afraid it will make me unfit after all the exercises, so i m rather careful with wat i eat, alr avoided some food for weeks. went to buy 3 flavours of pocky, famous amos cookies and brought chupa chumps lollis for all the J1s, since i wont be seeing most of them for some time, its a small token for them haha
campaign speeches were rather smooth, some had better flow. Voting began and was over quite soon. J2s stayed back, gave opinions, with mr ang listening on. quite a good spread of opinions mentioned cause it was in a rather relaxing mood, J2s just spoke wat they felt.. detailed voting results just out :P

well quite good spread of 1st aid duties RJ RC will cover soon, we wuld be in charge of Istana open house first aid on 1 May, sending teams for JCI Asia Pacific Conference with 2000 delegates at Pit building area and another Amazing race arnd spore by the sci department, looks rather exciting for the J1s and 2s!!hope the J1s and J2s enjoy next weeks session hehe.. 2nd last session for J2s... the J2 exco is planning smth really exciting after may hope all goes well for tat!

Had a good chat with Dennis for the new exco, we both really agreed on a lot of things :) Its really a tough decision, with good candidates, telling you how they can deliver...

anw had my 2.4 jog and 4 items in the evening, was quite refreshed aft tat lol. too bad i missed 100 % entertainment todae, or 娱乐百分百 and luo zhi xiang is always so funny cracking those jokes, smth like muttons to midnite but taiwan version and its on TV.

7 DAYS bef NS!!!

http://colourmylifenow.blogspot.com.

Time really flew by so fast, in 7 days, im gonna be in tekong resort island to take over those who pop ed !!
The past few months have been rather nice, getting all the time I have to do lots of things that I dint even had a chance to for the last 2 yrs. It’s like im able to take things so slowly, practically no stress, step by step, enjoy the simplest things in life , be it jogging arnd, listening to children’s chatters as they play in the park or for a for a leisure swim blah blah. I’ve been keeping myself bz for the past few months with temp jobs, volunteering with Spore Red Cross , being attached to RJ RC by HQ as a mentor and being involved in Bishan CC YEC’s Adventure (sports) Interest Group. Really, it’s rather fulfilling for me, learning from these special people ive met along the way, getting to interact with all kinds of ppl and being able to contribute to the community keeps me going, esp Red Cross, where it had been part of my life since sec 1, after being officially attached to RJC by HQ, I’ve been going back to their weekly sessions and mentoring the CCA has been rather fun and exciting, with the awesome J2s and great batch of new J1s this yr, I think theres a lot more potential for RJ Red Cross to grow =D Its really a good batch! Its been really nice mentoring the CCA as a senior. The CCA managed to get 3rd placing in our annual first aid competition, hopefully they do well in their upcoming NUS 1st aid competition in May too! Was also rather glad I was able to stick with my exercise plans in the past 3 months to prepare for NS, with volleyball, basketball, jogging, 4 items and swimming. Ive also found out my best time for jogging, for me it’s arnd 5pm, ive tried jogging in the morning, early evening and nights like close to 11pm, but still found evening jogs better cause its rather cool and there are ppl jogging arnd too!

The past week has been rather nice, meeting up with close frens bef my enlistment, going shopping, eating and just chilling out with my family. Btw the Yakun at orchard central really has nice comfy seats, and its really really quiet, and I think orchard central is too quiet haha. Aunt/ cousin met me, bro and mum up on fri for a nice meal / shopping at marina sq to send me off for NS, then we had a great swim and dinner at mandarin gardens. Went for Run round spore appreciation lunch at Newton with Litian on Sat, enjoyed the food there, and they told us theres another appreciation gala dinner on 7 May, wonder if I can go.. I wanna go! Haha.. Choong Ngan came to my house yesterday, cause it was raining, so we caught “The Blind Side” on DVD. Was a really touching true story movie of endurance and sacrifce. Well some more RJ Red Cross stuff in the next few days, then weekends and then the resort trip begins!! Going to Orchid Country Club for dinner now, I wanna play bowling!! will be down at HQ for preliminary overseas trip discussions tomorrow..

7 days, I know it will be over in a flash. Slowing down my steps, taking in whatever I can and treasuring my family as much before I go in. Hope all goes well for NS!!
