no one will ever be sick of their soya beancurd

supposed to meet up with buddies from Damai Primary School

22 and growing

im 22.. and I had one hell of a 9 sep this year..
I never had so many cakes during my birthday before.. 7 cakes in total ba I think
Manting
NTU’s 31st divers – shern boshen felix alvin chin junhao and shane
hall 13 cama – shern wayne alvin feipeng mivio yeeting and sherry
tutorial group’s moon cake – louisa zhimin weizhen shina and dongxue
then their real cake
junliang and jinbin..
family..
special mention to my roomie shern..
made me dirty and all in the nie pond.. haha..
and of cos some roomie love photo frame
then manting for all her effort cooking the fried rice and buying the little cake and making the birthday card..
junliang and jinbin came all the way to my house to bring me their cake before midnight..
and htht to late…
tutorial groupmates were to nice to me when im trying to destroy all their plots.
haha sorry about that but well hahahah.. there was so many fails..
I don’t really celebrate birthdays… but this year’s birthday I really enjoyed it..
quiz and CAs are all round the corner..
did some and some more to come..
expectations of a uni module paper was that high..
but it wasn’t as expected for now..
no wonder they made the bell curve thingy ..
just hope my confidence will drive me through smoothly
shooting trial is in the coming week..
although im only like fighting for the reserve spot.. I will still do my best..
and maybe just one of the days I can beat those national team shooters in NTU?
ill stay positive for now and hopefully get into the team first then say la hor
ihg trainings and all starting soon..
its time for my fitness level to go up again..
my knee is the only thing standing in the way. I hope it wont do me more trouble
sports camp programmer had called me and im accepted as a programmer
it’s a happy thing I guess.. cos I really wanted to be one..
but at the same time commitments are going to increase and time spend must be well planned for everything..
phewww… its going to be busy and busier

OMP the BOMB

it has been what?
7 months? its freaking september already..
so it was long since we last met in such a large group..
when the facebook event pop-ed up from my phone..
i knew i cant miss this gathering event..
i felt it was so important that i requested my NTU shooting trial to be brought forward.
and FINALLY OMP…
Ow’s Meeting Place is somehow our home ground for 31st batch of divers to gather… i felt like home when i reach there seeing all of the others there welcoming us
the bond was really something to treasure between one and all of us 31st batch.. i believe all of them will feel the same way.. going through those tough times back in Unit.
after ORD, all of us went different ways..
NTU
NUS
SMU
SUTD
SIM
Scotland
England
Canada
work
and some sign on continue with their routine back in camp
stories were shared by each and everyone of us
one thing that is always discussed is our lovely hellweek..
like how our instructors used to tell us that our hellweek will be tough and all.. but you will never regret going through it.. cos ten fifteen years later.. when you see those people that went through the same week with you.. you will talk about the same thing over and over again…
we really need to thank all our instructors for those unforgetable moments back then especially WO Tan… his mind of torture is the best..
it is sad to know that the culture is changing and 1G NSF no longer producing from this unit..
oh well.. at least we made it through and thats why we can proudly call ourselves as 31st batch Naval Divers
Hooyah 31!

Choice

couple of teaching weeks has past..
so many things happen
sports camp, hall camp and their follow ups..
studies took significant amount time away as well
well.. those past work that ive done never been wasted..
and memories are slowly coming back after each and every lecture..
the 2 years NS break is really something to bitch about..
but well.. im fortunate to be in the ndu community with awesomely close buddies
although I set my mind on school work full speed already..
but the distractions are always there to stir and mess around
the next para is for you ShiHui
I don’t know if you will ever come to this site again in your life..
but if you do.. pls read only when you are calm
FRANK is the word..
SCARSTISM is what the receiver got
after 7 years of knowing and understanding you..
I know how things are going.. it looks like everyone is against you…
you just lack the capacity to really see things clearly
come to a beach activity in jeans..
and eating back home when you coming for a bbq party..
who is more scarstic? oh well.. the mother didn’t know you guys coming for a bbq party?
I think of myself as Darren.. and I told myself I was lucky it wasn’t my bday that day..
relationship is not just by what you say dude..
it is by a lot of affords put into together by all parties..
time money sweat and lots of feelings
whether is it a group of people or just two person..
relationship between everyone still need that common understand there
yes this paragraph is for you.. it wasn’t discuss with anyone at all..
so the content here is purely my thoughts..
it is such a sad thing that we have to come to this state..
oh well.. I think the setting and all was really not a good time to bring him to the group?
I don’t know man..
I was only told he was coming at 2pm that day… so guess that’s the best I can do..
and it was even worst when I have to wait for you to reply me when I talking to him
commitment is a issue for all university students
commitments to friends.. many groups of friends..
to one CCA
to studies and homework tutorials..
to family members whom you will definitely left out most of the time
people are all chasing the perfect uni life they can get..
but somehow choices have to be made..
get all As?
have an magnificent piece of resume to secure your career?
have all the people in the school as your friends
how do you actually manage all of this..
if you are one of Mrs Mah-pow student reading my blog
I tell you everything that is taught from secondary school onwards will be tested when you come to uni
time management
emotion control
wise decision making
etc… the list just goes on..
but often when we are in the status that doesn’t require us to really apply it.. we don’t do it.. and the skill level drops
oh well.. you get my point with my awesome singlish
I hurt my knee for the 3rd time in 3months..
just hope it will recover soon… like really soon..
its 4 years of working hard and playing hard
having some buddies around will really help..
who are you going to let down when you cant cope anymore and need help?
but again.. with the nature of life.. politics.. friction between the relationship of one and another..
how do you tell who to trust?
deep down I know I can have 31 behind me anytime when I need help..
I hope I can do the same bros..
hai.. its such an irony… uni students have such vibrate life… yet everyone is lonely by themselves

haven been staying at home for quite awhile..
with all the camps going..
then moving into hall with shern..
time with my family really declined..
as much as I want to focus on work..
its unavoidable to think of my mum being alone at home most of the time…
how I wish my father is still around…
im feeling it as I type this…
I miss my father… and I can say im totally over with my ex..
if only~ that’s what we normally say..
every choice you make in life is somehow going to affect you in the future..
JUST DON’T REGRET IT!

im awesome.. I really feel so..
AWESOME!
later~

rehab

im into this addiction..
suffering for almost a week now
im glad that my conditions are improving now..
addiction is a scary thing..
it really drive people crazy..
you must really go through to understand how addiction victims feel
i learnt from watching the tv that all kind of addiction is similar in a way that all of them affects the same nerve..
no matter if it is gambling alcohol smoking and drugs
for me.. i think its the most common one.. which is not well known as an addiction..
as an addict pretty much one will feel empty most of the time..
the sensation sucks…
now that im in it.. i can understand why people starts picking up smoking and drinking habits after
these two are the two options that are more widely available to all
people tell me give myself some time.. some time to recover from it..
i guess my progress is going good..
im taking medications haha.. very abstractly..
both in pills and going to for rehabs sessions..
taking it slow.. small dosage each time..
as time drags longer.. i guess i will regain myself back in no time..
along with the rehab..
i suddenly started dreaming alot..
almost every night..
some nights i end up really happily with her..
some nights i had an accident and just die.. spirit came out and see all my loved ones on my wake
some nights im just an awesome bachelor who once lived
and for each nights.. i can dream of many different ones just in one night
religion is really some thing..
am i a Buddhist or am i free
after talking to chevy darren and ray.. i guess im a free..
im just a follower of Buddhist learnings..
only my father was a real full Buddhist..
so actually i can eat beef? hahah.. some day i will go to some holy centaury to find it out myself.. before i really miss out on my fate
finally went out with sec buds again..
chevy brought candice along..
looking at them somehow just remind me of the previous 2 months..
hai.. im happy for them.. but deep inside i know im broken..
i replace those sadness with my signature smile to bless them..
“When im sad, i stop being sad, I feel awesome instead. True story~” Barney
haha.. i remembered this statement vividly from himym
seriously.. managed to do it too..
im awesome C:

Break the Blue Moon

emotions overtook me
so much have happened..
one event is not enough.. my havainas slipper also abandon me..
then my knee have to give way too..
its the kind of feeling i never felt before..
or maybe im just weak la.. haha.. i was thinking if i get this kind of injury during a war.. i will just go all out and die as a honourable diver..
i have really awesome friends around me..
seriously appreciate them to be around me..
Aud Rina Krys Gwen Angus Dbag Squek Tiong Nat Shern Lai
a big thank you for your time la mates..
come to think of it.. my awesome friends doesnt stop there..
it has been long since i last meet up with my sec buds
ray darren kenny chevy all NS and ong is work and bf.. hai.. when are we going to meet again guys?… my margarita is waiting know..

i haven cried since the death of my father and the end of hell week..
yesterday i burst out.. i look at my knee and ask myself why all this come to me now?.. is this karma or something.. did i do anything wrong?
hai.. i really have much to think.. and much not to think haha..
woke up at that standard timing as usual..
knowing that i have to go for physio..
one tiny part of me actually felt scare.. scare of the unpredictable pain that i will feel during the treatment..
of cos i wish someone can accompany me for it.. but people is either busy or just not that convenient come over…
felicia suppose to come with me.. but sleep got her priority and i understand it.. she came after my treatment..
as i was lying there.. i look at my knee again and thought of what angus said about soccer players’ injuries.. YEA.. just wack only!
the sinseh is really experience siao already..
i guess he have do too many of similar cases.. until he also sian..
its pain.. but not that much.. bearable and short.. next moment i know im sitting outing with for fel to come already..
went to OCBC for some banking stuff today..
it made me realise that i should start planning for the next 4 years of uni life.. finance hall and commitments..
hectic life will eat me up and most likely disappear from non-NTU events.. i really hope i can still go for netball in NUS C:
gonna take a break from work.. and social activities for awhile..
now that my knee is in this condition
my bed is like a hospital bed already.. just that its more cosy.. no nurse no drips.. and no visitors just me and alot of cushions..
i miss my NDU bunk setup man.. haha

Linked

i have been off blogging season for quite awhile..
it seems abit hard to back here writing
but i will try my best..
the word busy have been hanging by my side for some time now
its really hard to find time for things i really love to do and stuff..
prioritising my time all those commitments is a serious chore
if you can have my time.. you are really someone i love to be with alot
rina told me about love language..
touch, time, gift and something else..
mine is clearly time.. spending time doing nothing with love ones is good enough
work in iras is getting easier through the days with easy going colleagues
since there isnt those tough going outings anymore haha..
not that i would complain.. but its kind of tough.. like seriously..
with people going off for their careers in life.. less and less peeps around to mingle and stuff.. so lunch alone is common..
packet food from somewhere and eat alone in the room..
shredding paper became one of the enjoyable thing to do in office.. haha..
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
whole day long.. see if you can let the machine going non stop with your pile of confidential documents
and just once in awhile.. some angry people who came along will brighten your day by implanting some food for thought in the mind..
and this public service.. queue ticket and waiting time is so essential..
quality services seems to be taken for granted by so many people..
thats service sector
my taiji training is toning down..
not much of excitement in knowing new styles and strokes..
just sharpening them since i have already completed Chen-style 48
hope my master will continue to complete my 72 before i end it and go NTU
been to a few running events now..
facing new people that you may just see them once in your life.
you wont know how each of the encounter with someone will affect you..
as we age.. some how the world is getting small..
knowing a stranger might not just be a stranger anymore..
the person is just someone’s somebody
haha.. just try.. try finding someone that has no link with your life at all within this little community in Singapore.. maybe
mates around me have been commenting on my status..
oh well.. people come to me when they have troubles
and i told them to treasure each and everymoment they have with their love ones cos you never know when it will end..
just cut off from a tree you are holding on on a cliff
the negative G will drive you crazy..
but i dont seems to have the capacity to handle it myself
haha.. i hope from now on i can.. after blogging..
reflecting and stuff..
appreciation is key..
i will want to enjoy my time looking at the magnificent view.. not just waste those time turning on my camera and try to shot it down..
cos by then.. all might just be over..
interpretation
“she is working in a company that is under auto-inclusion scheme, but now she dont know if she is under no filing service or need login and click submit.”
it is up to her to make the trouble to ask. and there will always be a time frame. too long? wait for pink letter or one day she go atm and cant draw any money… then she’ll know… 2 hours of waiting time for just a simple form

A LONG weekend

come to think about this..
I haven been on a long weekend since I started work..
I think mainly because I want focus to earn money so I could spend it on overseas trip
BKK with Lai Tiong Shern and Nat
Bali with Mum and Relative
Taiwan with Rina?
Brazil backpacking with Angus?
Dive trip with DD or NDU peeps?
budget is so tight and there are so much I want to do before uni terms kicks in
not all is about earning money though..
I must admit this.. having to work
to play netball in NUS
and to practise taiji
these pack my single life up and I wont have to worry about being lonely..
Squek Angus and Dbag are really spize in my life..
working with them make life so much fun
as much as dislike those time that we have to do so much to get other colleague involved
oops
things are getting better
with this new possibility
I just hope things will turn out well C:
it really shows how fate turns out to be haha

Happy 21st to me and So

it was 4th of september.. it was Kenny’s birthday but the group celebrated my 21st with his..
its suppose to be a potluck.. like some will cook curry chicken.. some bee hoon.. and so on..
but well we got hot dogs. breads,tuna, chips, big can of beer 5l, bicardi that we didnt even open and drinks..
there was volleyball actions in a very good weather.. no need to bother about putting on some sunblock.. cos basically there wasnt much of it
we got ourselves a frisbee with the help of Chevy.. but the aerodynamic of it sucks.. i think the furthest i thrown was like 10m? haha
fun activities aside..
i was all hyped up for always if its sentosa..
must get wet..
at first i tot everyone will go wet with me..
after a round of survey.. no one bring extra to go with me..
but well still have Kenny to ACC me.. cos its his birthday what.. of cos must get wet la!..
so we got this small little area that Raymond and gang buried both our present in it..
its really a small area.. but the tot of get to dig the sand.. fuyo! suddenly 1cm square becomes 1km square..
i put out to dig as much i can.. but in the end.. Kenny was the one who dug out mine…
so my present was wrapped in the same wrapping paper that i receive last year.. and maybe the year before and before.. hahaha
the same Chelsea wrapper that dear brought quite alot few years back
i got my chances to guess what is in it.. but really have no idea..
well after a few cups of Golden ale.. i opened it up and its a limited edition Sony Walkman mp3 player.. the camouflage version.. or the metal slug W series
…… ok the name is Walkman W-Series Metal Gear Peace Walker Limited Edition.. cool stuff man..
it gets cooler when i installed and use it..
woooooohoooooooo..
it was a whole new experience.. it feels like using a wireless bluetooth earphone.. but without a mp3 play in hand.. really easy to use and it got a nice female voice in the mp3 player haha.. saying “playlist” and stuff..
and dear dear is as blur as always. went to her house next morning.. and there it is.. The RECEIPT! wahahahahahaha.. guys.. you all can go kill her liao..
41025_427929736458_706431458_5612280_6422827_nthis is us.. all of them know each other for 9 years.. and i know them for 8.. wonderful huh?
more years to come guys C:

Brunei soon hope for the best..
FATs away!

when to Jaben @ Adelphi on Friday the solo OFF day
i entered the shop and suddenly turned blank..
the shop was not any part similar to what i imagine..
so many people said Jaben is The Shop for audios..
i pictured it as a shop with many selves that displays every asset the got..
there were selves.. but they are all behind the counter..
its a one of a kind shopping experience..
its like… going to a clinic that heals your “music listening” sense..
i see people come into the shop and asked the assistant there to “save him” LOL
so there i was went in and blank..
a guy approached me in a nice way.. i told him i dont know hahahah..
”no problem! why not you take a seat first C:”
next thing i know.. i am trying out headphones
i got out of it with satisfaction.. a Denon earpiece.. and a Fiio Amp
just the kind of sound i wanted..
now i see why people go Jaben for audios..
keep it up Jaben C: haha

the 9 is coming.. today its the 5th.. the day that my contract ends..
ahh i sense my iphone is coming! Singtel.. pls have stock!

“Red Tails” Tail

booked out successfully on Friday..
went home and had quite a good sleep..
after so much of lack of sleep..
sleeping anywhere is just heaven
went to The Chevrons with Jun Liang..
it was quite a long while since i last seen him when we were back in college for our results..
we had a Commando and Diver sharing..
both called as elite soliders.. but are both of much different life..
but there are similarities too..
both are full of risk..
he himself almost paid his life while serving in the 1st Battalion
few hours of chat between us..
then we parted ..
before he dropped off at his station..
he handed me this plane model of P-51C MUSTANG “Red Tails”

and he told me it was meant to serve a reminder for me to stay..
the the story behind the red tail was that all planes with the red tails were pilot by the Blacks during war time in the past..
although the Blacks were being looked down on.. they were the best pilots in America in the period and many battles won because of them..
he wanted to give it to me when my father just passed away back in March.. but just have no time to meet up with me..
im truely thankfully touched
my uncle came just now to “renovate” my Mother’s room abit..Shootle0018 Shootle0020 Shootle0019
much stuff have been cleared out of the room..
i went in after everything and i even hear the echo of my footstep..
hahaha.. its quite amazing yea..
its officially 3 weeks to graduation on paper…
we got 1500mins to clock…
the Deep.. and then finally our Graduation Day..
fired up guys.. the end of a naval diver trainee piece of shit life is going to end soon..
HMS.. we jumping down soon yo!

Hooyah 31!!!

Never a Endless Togetherness

Image502Image503took this as a Bunk man! Image505 Image504 at last.. some group photos
went to Clarke Quay yesterday night with my NDU buddies..
Shern and Tiong going off for their Officer Cadet School training to become Midshipman
while Lai will be continuing the course with a name of SSDC..
the rest of us will stay put in CDC.. and advance with the use of stealth LAR-V sets..
Lai brought us to the Cafe Iguana just opposite the Liang Court..
and introduce to us this very drink..
the drink that cramped up all of our faces..
and let us stick out our tongues
have Tiong jump off his seat and went for a run around the cafe perimeter
hahahahahhahaha
as Lai put it.. its a drink just for trying only once..
you’ll never want to taste it in your life for the second time..
but.. he himself too the second time as Nat gave up his glass after just one sip
before we had our turn to pour down the shot..
i asked Nat.. and he said, “its worst than caustic cocktail man.. what the f…”
hahahahahahhahahahah
good time drinking with good companies la…. Chill Tequila aside of cos!

with people going off for OCS…
and the class spliting into 2 groups
our class.. for CDC is left with only this little number of people..
after the depth dive this coming week..
time will become more and more difficult to pass..
not much close friends to complain and wind to..
from morning setting up of sea boats.. to the time when we are secure for the day.. all the cycles keep going as a routine..
its difficult.. really..
come to think about it..
i seriously think that being a hellweeker does equate us to becoming an elite solider
but to do operational activities day in day out..
i can feel the name of NDU coming now..
elite solider……
elite solider…

the message that Tiong left behind was really meaningful..
with much love that i can sense..
”……. whatever may happen.. remember guys… WE STILL GOT HAKA!!!”
i really hope Shern Tiong Chuang and Chewbs will have some good time over at SAFTI…
i’ll miss you guys big times man!
until graduation .. thats the day for all of us to aim for..
meanwhile the other 6 leaders have joined back the class
let hope for good deals coming … not to prevent ours from hammering..


had a chat with Aud last Wednesday..
and then the chat with Nat last night
hai.. i realise that i am lost once in awhile..
lost of identity..
lost of personality…
out in the civilian life.. sometimes i dont feel like myself..
its a very weird feeling that i dont know how to describe
maybe i really change badder…

oh man.. i miss HellWeek!

Who say dreams are easy to achieve?

Sean Quek leads…
”Are we Frogs?
NO!
Are we Dogs?
NO!
Are we Bears?
NO!
We’re the Naval Divers!
When you come to NDU
Instructors has to say
Welcome to hell~
You’ll be tortured well!
I let out a Scream of terror
Cos we’re stuck in here till 2 years later
Hey! Hey! What you see now
Is the Naval Divers bear crawling now
Bear crawl bear crawl everyday
We bear crawl here we crawl there we bear crawl everywhere!
SIAN LA!”
this song we sung with fire on the Thursday night..
most probably due to how the song relate to our time in NDU
the week was just another week of intensive training..
but what is different was the emotions i had..
especially on Thursday
before during and after the Sea Circuit
Instructor BK came to me for the swim check
while screwing the cylinder for me he said
”how Fong Lin Qiang? can pass anot today?”
”you are good la.. you are good. dont lose it”
then i went back to the podium..
Shern came to me.. “hey buddy today is the day liao la.. my tu liao la”
detail 1 2 and 3 set off..
then i went… the rope was long.. my fear was huge..
but i hear Shern was shouting at me..
and i just kept going..
first round.. second round.. last round..
he came to the slipway again.. and told me 1 minute to bingo..
he fucked me.. and for that i really chiong for my life..
18minutes.. 3 seconds.. i failed again.. by 3 seconds..
while my 100plus was going everywhere..
Ricardo helped with my UDT and wet suit..
i went back the podium and started to cry..
i guess i let myself.. my buddies and instructors around me down..
im really appreciate these group of 31 buddies who are able to feel me..
i wasnt wrong on the thought that i want to be here..
cos one thing for sure.. when times are hard.. strong bonds will be forged
at the boat level..
i seriously think that the mixed up Boat 4 is… fun.. very fun haha..
we had boat paddling …
the Evolution was called “The Endless Boat Paddle”
we are proud to say that we were last all the way through..
even instructors came with their sea boat and threaten to hammer us.. hahahhaha
hahahahahaha.. but we really had great fun paddling the boat..
from the last.. we managed to chase to the 5th place after 8k of boat paddling..
but Instructor Koh came to us and ask if we got sportmanship..
so we.. the last 3 boats came back to the slipway together..
so the last 3 boats got hammered together..
that was the boat paddle..
boat pt..
its the same crew again..
and Jon Chua said..
”we get last in the sea.. but we must get first on the land guys!”
hahahaah.. yea.. we finally proved ourselves right..
we got first for every Pays to be a winner challenge..
and we got secured for all the chances we got..
and every time i sit in the boat while other boats are doing more..
i think im loving my boat more and more man…
hoho..
sea swim..
i swam with Jared this time round..
although i didnt pass.. i felt really happy after the swim..
yes!.. i helped him to improve…
rather to always push myself .. i think its really a joy just to see others get moving on and improving..
IPPT.. finally.. i got my second Diver Gold..
Hooyah!
Ah Jin ended his reservice today..
damn it easy day for him all the 2 weeks back in NDU..
”suck it up ah!” was his last advice for me..
yea man.. suck it up AHHHH!


Represent
“A kid came up to me now just the other day
And asked me if I'd thought about what I would say
If everything came crashing down on top of me
How would I stay pure?
Will you represent
Who you stand for
Will they shame you
Will they blame you
It's funny how the words of a child can be
Simple, though the thought there is so meaningful
It makes me wonder what I would say to me
Through the eyes of another
Will you represent
Who you stand for
Will they shame you
Will they blame you
There's a consequence
For the path you chose
Will they change you
Will they make you who you are not
Let the free world light the way
In these times of darkened days
Let the free world light the way
You will represent
Who you stand for
They won't shame you
They won't change you
There's a consequence
For the path you chose
They can't change you
They can't make you who you are not”

oh.. i am tired.. very tired… i need some rest.. and a shoulder perhaps..
keep going keep going
3 weeks to go..
lets go!

i saw Jun Liang in his Army uniform
and went forward to hug this long time no see buddy

out of a sudden.. Mrs Sim shouted my name loudly..
”Lin Qiang and the group of people!.. LET MOVE FORWARD!!!”
i tot what man..

Mrs Soh had her time..
and then Mr Tan took the stage..
he announced the improvements of respective subjects in terms of % passes..
followed by the top students..
the score was from 80 to 90..
i know i cant be one of them..
so i was looking out for anyone that i know and clapped loudly for them..

although it was an E.. but its still a pass..
what a relief man..
Ms Low was next..
she said that i met her expectation for acing her Physics and hold some hope for her to continue pushing her students..
hahaha
then i saw Mrs Sim at the paging room
she told me that she was the one that told Mr Tan that he need to specially mention me for what i’ve been doing last year.. and i really do deserve it..

The year that earth moved slower

going for countdown?..
remember to add 1 more second to your last 10 seconds because our dearest Earth has moved slower this year..
well well..
lets recall and review the year 2008
January
the year started quickly..
JC2 now.. no more playing and fooling around..
got a change of teachers
for General Paper.. Mrs Josephine Wong is replaced by Ms Joanne Raj..
for Economics.. Mrs Christina Tan to Mrs Sim Lay Peng
for Maths.. Mr Tan Soi Cheng to Mr Chong
For Chemistry.. Mrs Jess Wong to Mr Kenneth Yang
for Physics.. Mr Lim Teck Seng to Ms Low
for PE.. Mr Alan Tan to Mr Teng
yes it is.. the whole change in the teacher squad for 2007's 1S20, 2008's 2S17
Lennon and Huay Xhin replaced Baron and Guan Jie..
miss the two Chong Hua jokers lots man..
and distinctively Lennon was loner and kept to himself for a few weeks..
sat at one corner and stone his way through the lessons..
until when Jun Liang and i brought him into the guys group..
celebrated Jun Liang's 18th at his place..
saw his Mother for the first time.. wow,, beautiful man..
and young too haha..
had a great time with the others playing xbox and taboo..
orientation for the first intake started on the second next..
the whole duration for the orientation..
only 10 was left in class..
the rest are OGLs and Games-ic
i remembered one very lesson with Mrs Sim..
8 of us stand at the back of the class..
and left with 2 having tutorial with her.. haha..
forget the reason for that already..
study group was formed..
Audrey Sikai Xiongwei Felicia...
Audrey had a secret then.. leading for the Yangshuo Trip..
and now.. she has found her love and im so very glad..
harsh and cruel studying stress builds up quickly..
i remember i found it hard to even breath properly..
and issues started to shoot up suddenly every now and then..
CCA fair for the first intake was a sucky one..
people just come as they like..
had a few shots and few and thats it..
the second time was better.. we got to choose properly with Mr Ng and Ms Lin's technique
remembered how harsh we are on this 560 guy.. haha
Shooting training was getting more intense..
NTU NUSIS and Nationals coming our way..
i believe all my shooters will always remembered how hard they train
and also felt the bitterness when results doesnt show up with their increase in hardwork
fortnights after fortnights... we all grew as a team..
achieved my first achievement of the year..
completed my 100km challenge..
Mr Teng urged me to go for 200km and i did..
i never thought i could finish 200km in this year..
well well.. its something to keep me moltivated..
February
Chinese New Year given all of us a break from school..
especially this year..
the break was really well enjoyed..
visited my former secondary school and caught up with my teachers..
hope they are still doing well now
felt like a De Javu...
the same quarter of the year..
JC1.. and JC2.. the threat to destroying my own relationship...
its my own fault
come to think about it..
these 2 experience made me realise that i actually love my girlfriend more than i imagine..
i still kept the letter that my girlfriend sent me..
Jun Liang was there for me.. cried my heart out in the toilet with him..
returning back to class.. i think Mr Chong knew somehow that i have problems and gave that look to me..
greatly appreciated
NTU Invitational Shoot..
the team all did pretty well..
most of them got their personal best..
i could remember Wanyin was on a super train to perfection..
and most of them had their first external shoot unlike Timo and i..

my Mother was told that im top 30 in the cohort when there were Us and Ss..
Mr Yang briefed us on the plan of the year.. and what to expect as we faces the ultimate goal..

a stranger came to me and asked if im waiting for someone..
damn.. so obvious that im not..
lol
FLQ.085

in the Shuttle bus towards Padang

called Xiong Wei and realised that he might be late..
 FLQ.086

FLQ.087
set
FLQ.088

along the way.. there are many sign boards that were super inspiring to me..
FLQ.089
FLQ.090
FLQ.091
the most inspiring for me...^
FLQ.092
FLQ.095
the race was great...
the first half of the Marathon is no kick for me..
running and running freely with no pain or whatsoever..
the real race started only after the halfway mark.. 21km..
there.. i reached the National Sailing centre..
there is a loop..
and after the round about..
i could see the whole stretch of marathoners behind me..
pain and aches started to kick in..
the temptation of stopping and just walk the remaining half is overwhelming...
then.. i see the Standard Chartered Marathon's Slogan, "Run you own race"
i finally able to fully appreciate this statement..
the idea is to challange oneself..
not comparing with anyone else..
they walk doesnt mean you walk..
run because you will...
its about 3 hours of the aerobatic motion..
tried some other actions and you will enjoy a pain..
great pain..
muscle are tensed up like never before..
there.. the deep heating rub come into play..
i realised lots of people's leg had that white cream on it..
so i when on trying..
OMG!!! the burning sensation.. really Deep Heat into the muscles..
and that relief some of the pains and aches to a great degree..
4 hours...
stomach starts to get hungry..
people without breakfast may faint because of that..
experienced runners long had prepared their energy gels...
and for first timers like me..
the sponsors took care of us..
boxes of energy gel was there to match the demand..
30+km .. every consecutive km felt like its longer than the previous one..
the race dont seem to end..
people around me started to give up and walk..
the runners' guild said that there will be water stations every 1.5km..
but we never seem to reach the next one...
pains and aches again..
people stopping at the side to stretch their leg muscles..
35km.. we reached around the kallang area..
buses and other vehicles had people looking at our suffering..
runspirators carrying and ringing their bells to cheer us on..
saw couple of volunteers sleeping on the side of the runner track..
which was quite discouraging..
38km..
4km more.. thinking of just give the last dash now..
but its too early when you realise its further than you expected to be
the good thing for me was to realise that making bigger steps is better than smaller ones
it reduce the pain on the knees and feet
40km...
FLQ.093
FLQ.094
F1 pit..
got amazed by the Jaguar and Ferrari
41km..
back to the starting point.. the Kids Dash event was about to start..
and there were lots of supporters cheering us to go on..
42km..
everything seems possible
and finally...



FLQ.096
met up with Xiong Wei after the race and then went home with Su Zhen............

one good thing after a Marathon for me...
a good Sleep..
no energy to think about other things..
and just goes to sleep within few minutes
unlike the usual tens of minutes..
woke up and got ready to attend my Brother's Eunos YEC event
it was the Eunos YEC Year End Dinner & Launch of Website..
