How I Spent my Chinese New Year Eve 2012.

After a hearty night @ The BFF HQ with Rongyue, Nicholas, PeiSin, Jean and Terence, and with terence and jean went back home early last night, the rest of us went for breakfast @ a coffee shop near hq. it was proudly sponsered by The BFF HQ manager! Thanks xiao rong. afterwhich i sent pei sin home and nicholas to the mrt station. as for me, showered and sleep..

today i was actually dam freaking emo... Chinese New Year Eve, when families gather and have reunion dinner together... the warmth.. the tradition.. but oh well.. as for me.. how did i spent my eve? woke up in the afternoon, decided to take a swim at the Caribbean... after which went for sauna, showered, and drove myself to vivo to catch a movie... The journey 2: The Mysterious Island. the movie was alright.. pretty nice scenes.. love grew between the young actors.. i'll give it a 3.5 stars out of 5!

had macdonals for dinner lor... thinking of all my friends and kids having reunion dinner with their families and me? singapore alone.. being like self sympathise... decided not to be like this... LTA Choo called me after i sent him a CNY message and we had a long chat just like last time when I was still serving my NS with SCDF. it really warm my heart up and its dam great to hear his voice once again! later at 0000 hrs m going down to the temple to wish for a great year ahead!

wishing everyone a happy chinese new year and may your health be good to you.

Day 6 of 2012

waiting for mom and dad's return from morning breakfast 

took the car and had a swim at clementi swimming complex!

the swim and refreshing and the sun was good! 

did around 11 laps.. and stayed in the waters awhile before i get up from the pool

showered and get some lunch and home i go!

dump everything into my room, had my lunch and changed into half u

training was... exasperating.... stepped into the cadet room.. seeing a NCO polishing her boots despite saying "DO NOT POLISH YOUR BOOTS IN THE CADET ROOM!" or rather.. they should be polishing their boots before they even come for training ya? well.. something agitated me further and my blood was already boiling... gathered all the NCOs and gave them a good lecture.. about holiday trainings... attendance for normal training... not being responsible enough for their own actions.. and the CCA open house incident. seriously... wad is happening?

aniway.. yup.. as the time goes i feel alot better.. especially taking sec 2s for drills.. :O

alot alot alot alot alot of improvements for the sec 2s.. gosh...

sec 3s had team building games and it seems to be working pretty okay.. listening to the feedbacks from debrief.. hope 长江后浪推前浪 is really coming true... yup pinning hopes on them.

had subway for dinner! its been awhile seriously... and took a walk to WCPark and chill before ending my day.

till next time

Well, today was a busy and travelling day for me

waited for parents to return home from JB and drove down to school to collect study materials for the next trimester! looks like m so gonna die. lol

social psychology

abnormal psychology

advance research methods

anyway, after collecting, went swimming for 2 hours before making a trip down to TSS to join Zheming and OC down to HTA for Campcraft Competition briefing.

had lunch at the cafeteria and met some Jrs there.. had a little chat here and there..

until peisin reach HTA and off i go to the harmony hall to meet them (Rongyue, Peisin, luppy)

and the sad case is.. we were denied access into the harmony hall cos oni 1 CI/ Officer can attend the briefing with the cadets. so sad.

Hui xin was out too. so the rest of us who were not able to go in went back to the cafeteria and chatted instead!

after the briefing went to have dinner with YJ and HX! kor joined us later and yea lor.. thats all la for today.

after the satisfying lunch, weiwei and i went for our little shopping trip whereas xiaorong joined his friends to the branded outlet shopping centre! saying that he'll call me when he reaches singapore! haha

well, nic and i bought a few stuffs.. and had a little break at starbucks before completing the last part of our shopping and ending the trip with a movie "Jack and Jill"

while on our way to the checkpoint again, guess wad? we bumped into rongyue and friends again!!! LOL.. haha.. seriously... he and his friends were like going to KSL building for dinner.. he seems reluctant... but oh well.. peer pressure.. he succumbed to it and went off with them where weiwei and i returned to SG.

New year Eve 2011

31st December, the day arrives again... but with different people within the clique

same location... not much of a different feelings... but does have difference...

had steamboat, crapping and playing card games...

aniway, just... having this I.N.I.T.I.A.T.I.V.E issue here.

alot of us are taking things for granted.

yup.. saying.. you are good at it.. but doing.. you sucked.. until someone talks about it.. then you talk about it.. and probably do something... some.

oh well.. shouldn't be saying things like this.. but well...

always hate this.. alot of people know that.. but they din;t say.. cos they are waiting who has the least threshold and trash things out. and the reason i wrote this is hope he/she will read this and realise... self awareness.

till next time

tata!

if you gauge a person by hardskills.. you're probably the shallowest person on earth.

-in our context of course-

A Day with the Boys

well, pretty looking forward to this day's arrival... can;t wait to meet up the boys later.

but 1st.. i have a fancy drill training to attend!

woke up at 0645hrs.. had a quick shower.. changed to my 1/2 U and off i go..

meeting Gillian @ the Market for breakfast! :D

its been awhile.. hoping that these kind of "gathering" would make gillian wana come back and serve the unit..

we chatted and had breakfast.. while waiting for the rest to arrive..

when i was about to finish, kok siong and victor came along... oh well.. had some breakie and we are on our way to school...

fancy drill training was pretty finalised except for some changes here and there.. i joined in the squad.. leaving the CIs to make the decisions on the formation and stuff.. gave my inputs here and there a little... yup..

being inside the squad made me recall the times when i was still a cadet.. when training was XXXXX times tougher and yet we overcome.. and grow up.. to who we are today... always telling myself that time has changed.. nothing will be there forever... unless you are a statue though..

time flies and its 1030.. i gotta go.. so i left the kids with the CIs and off i go.. meeting YJ @ Clementi station before making our way to Toa Payoh to meet Ryan and Zi Yang...

while in tunnel.. i tried calling ryan... din;t pick up and he called me again after awhile.. he got the time mixed up! he thought its 1230 along when out meeting time is supposed to me 1200 hrs!

*someone din do his job~*

haha.. aniway.. he said he would change and come out from his place.. so yea... zi yang msged and inform me that he'll be late.. so YJ and i walked up to the Fairprice and bought some tins of cookies! :D oh well.. don;t mentioned it already..

zi yang arrived shortly after we paid for our merchandise and YJ led us to the bus interchange and took a bus to nicky's place.. informed Ryan telling him we are going

Bought chicken rice and decided to eat at nic's place lor... oh ya.. ryan caught us in time before we set off to nic's place... ah well.. crossed the road and entered the condo without much effort.. we settled outselves at the pool side table and we eat while waiting for nic! that boy ar.. haish! he forgot to book the pool table!!!!! ROARS!!!!

so yea.. ryan took us to Tanglin CC (not in the vicinity if TSS) to play bball 1st while nic waits for the guard to come back so he can book the games room.

the basket ball game was awesome! we should play basketball together often boys! :)

played a few matches and taught the boys the "man jiang" game.. haven been perspiring like this while playing basketball in awhile already... reminds me of sec sch times... again.. :P

YJ had a blister on his leg so he couldn;t continue after a match.. :( aniway.. nic and ryan looked funny when dribbling the ball.. haha.. we should have more practice sessions ya.

aniway.. after the hot and sweaty game.. we make out way back to nic's place for pool... another great time and great game together.. although i was tired after training and the basketball game.. but i guess.. its really fun to have young people around to energise you! :D

soon its 6 pm.. zi yang had to go off .. and the rest of the 4 of us played daidi for another few rounds before me and jy took 154 to clementi to have our dinner...

its really a nice day out boys.

thanks for everything.

till next time

back from HOBTC Adventure Training Camp! :)

i'm so tired..

this camp left me with alot of thoughts in mind

why this batch of HOTs are so different from mine

why we chose the "wrong time" to engage the trainees...

the "right" protocol

are we prepared for this course as instructors?

but anyway, watching the "Bandits" improved over the past few days

felt kinda "安慰" that advices were taken in.

Don't feel tat I'm a very proficient instructor

but this experience made me know myself more

and explore on where can i improve myself as a instructor in such a context.

having working with children and teens

i find that i have problems communication with adults now.. haha..

aniway, this experience as a HO Instructor does made me think.. and improve as a person.
