Well, no entry for one whole month. You must think I am enjoying ORD life. Well, I was, but right now I am just very bored. ORD life is certainly good but when you can't find a job, it gets really boring.

Can't find a job now because I am lacking a reply from certain universities that will determine my future. That sucks, but I am a bit numb already.

Really looking forward to going overseas from 20 to 29 Dec. Going Yunnan. Heard that that the scenery is really good. Hoping to snap some beautiful pictures over there and it will be cold. My first time visiting a cold place. The last time I went to a cold place was Canada and it was around 20 degrees but this time it's 15 and below. Hope I won't freeze my ass off there.

Feeling a bit sick. had a slight fever in the morning but after some paracetamol, I am feeling better. Can't afford to fall sick while going overseas that will suck.

On a more serious note, I just received news this morning that MAJ Norman has passed away yesterday. Well, this is the first time I had someone I know relatively well pass away. I can still vividly remember him planning with S2 the NS highways we had to cut for atec2. He did a lot for the battalion and I am proud to have him as my B2. Rest in peace, MAJ Norman.

--*a day to remember.

Well, I have ORDed, as you can see from the countdown timer. (I can finally change it to something else.)Surprised that I can keep the countdown timer running for so long, as I slowly watched it ticked down from a few months to a few weeks to a few day. It's true that they say we only cherish things only after we have lost it and it is true in many ways. Of course I am happy that I have ORDed but I will miss the times my platoon had together. How we chionged together and tried to convince that our mission was more siong than others. How we were always in missions and never the enemy. How we stick up for our platoon when we got bullied by the others. How we thought that AlphaTangoGolfMike people were always sleeping in bunk but we were doing work. How we imagined our lives would have been if we were in other units. It is truely an amazing time but none of these would have happened if my friends weren't there. So I have everyone to thank though some more than others. Well, two people I want to thank in particular and that would be Willy and Kenneth. Willy, always looking out for me in missions and my emotional support for the entire time I was here. Kenneth for always listening to my crap and yar, I go to him when I don't wish to bother willy. Haha. That sounds bad but substandard english proficiency doesn't allow me to phrase it any better. So we will leave it as such. Haha.

Grey's 508 is out today and the quote at the end of the show is very meaningful and applicable to what I am writing, so here it is.....

"The ties that bind us are sometimes impossible to explain, they connect us even after it seems like the ties should be broken. Some bonds defy distance, and time, and logic because some ties are simply meant to be."

Well, the taiwan trip is over and as you can see, the countdown timer is almost finished.

I shall summarise Taiwan in 15 pictures.

There you have it.

As ORD draws near, I guess it's also time for change. (This is where the civillian conversion course comes in) Resolutions.
I shall start my brain working again by going through some basic A level stuff.
I shall stop lazing so much on my bed and cut down on the amount of shows I am watching
I shall go find myself a decent paying job after ORD. (By the way, my last saf pay just came in I think and it was a pathetic $39.)
I shall start leading a healthier lifestyle by engaging in more sports. (Tennis was pretty fun.)

Is that enough? Civillian here I come. Lol.

AHH!!!!

ATEC is finally over. I feel free. I finally feel like I am going to ORD!

AHH!!!!

44 more days... The number is so small.. so small

AHH!!!!

Sorry, a bit too excited. Feeling very bored these few days though. Nothing to do, need some outing, some activity. Need to organise some outing.

Anyway, last week, my uncle found a dog either abandoned or lost but he couldn't take it home becuase of his wife so my father decided to take him in for a day. Having a dog for a day is pretty fun. Haha. Found on the internet that this dog is a papillon. So here's a picture of him.

O well, we sent it to SPCA the following day. Wonder how is it now.

My sisters and I are thinking of sharing and buying Wii, seems pretty fun and the games are suitable for most, think even my parents can play. Haha.

Lots of off and leave awaits me, so watch this space.

Some good news and some bad news....

Good or bad first?

Good first i guess. (I am an optimist unlike cannerf phoo the wet blanket.) I got back my ielts test results and i'm pretty satisified with it. Out of a possible 10, (even though it's impossible to get such a score) I got 8.0 for listening, 9.0 for reading, 7.5 for writing and 7.5 for speaking. Overall 8.0 which stands for very good user. Has fully operational command of the language with only occasional unsystematic inaccuracies and inappopriacies. Misunderstandings may occur in unfamiliar situations. Handles complex detailed argumentation well. Not bad.. hehe

Then comes the bad news, I got rejected by UNSW. :'( I was really quite devastated when I first heard it. I didn't think I would be so affected by it but I was.

Went to watch Mamma Mia yesterday. It was really good. As good as I expected it to be. A lot of energy and it was really funny at certain parts. Willy, you should go catch it. Haha.

Went for the interview by Uni of Adelaide today. Quite nervous but the interviewer was really nice. Hopefully all goes well. Cross my fingers....

Back from another week in camp, which leaves me nearer to ORDeee...

Bought a new camera this week, Panasonic Lumix FS3 for $349. The most expensive thing I have bought... ever! Of course, I mean with my own allowance. The camera's pretty decent, 8 megapixels, 3X optical zoom, leica lens, up to 15 face detection.

Went to eat at this Korean BBQ place in East Coast with my family and grandparents and of course I brought my camera along to test it out. Presenting to you the pictures...

(I might change my blog to blogspot soon. diaryland is really quite user unfriendly at posting pictures. I have to do everything manually like typing the html code for it, but I can't bear to leave my entries behind.)

Well, all my tests are finally over. I can finally take a break though I am a bit lost on what to do. I am used to having something to do but now, I completely have nothing.

Mostly good news so far, I passed my driving test with 14 demerit points. Yay! My IELTS (english) test went pretty well and my interview with UNSW was so-so. There were a few questions that I had no idea what he was asking. I really hope I get offer though as the course really looks pretty interesting and exciting to me. Can't wait to start! Right now, I must be sounding pretty freaky, cause people can't wait to stop studying but I can't wait to start. You must understand after 1+++ year of brain inactivity, my brain is going into atrophy if I don't start studying.

All is well, just waiting for the other interviews to start. (if I do get them)

71 days to ORD, I really can't wait. OMG!!! I can finally press the play button in my life again. You cannot imagine how happy I would be when I ORD.

Did I mention willy and I are planning a trip to bintan with the other fellow specs. Pretty cool eh.

AHM is over and I am proud to say I am back alive. That was a hell of a run. Weather was good though, it only started to rain after the run and now it's pouring outside. O my..

Driving Test on Monday. I really hope to pass not because I want to drive but because I really dread driving lessons. They take up a lot of time. 3.5 hours to be exact. 2 hours are spent on travelling and 1.5 on the lesson itself. Completely waste of my time.

--*Finisher of 21.0975km

This is going to be a very long entry. Well, after talking to a few people that are pursing the same course as me and with my interview drawing near, I think it’s important that I give some thought as to why I want to study medicine. After all, it concerns my future and there is really almost no other way to go after I start.

I guess this entry is mostly inspired by the few people that I talked to the past few weeks. The interesting thing about it is that most of these people that I talked to were people that didn’t want to study medicine at first and now I meet them at these tests and interviews which really made me think about why people actually want to become a doctor. Fame? Respect? Passion? Or is it just for money? Although I seriously doubt anyone would want to become a doctor just for the money. It’s really requires too much effort and time and there are much easier ways of earning money like going into business. In any case, it made me think about why I want to become a doctor.

Going into the medicine profession is no question going to be a very tough which usually deters a lot of people from taking it up. As for me, I know it is going to be tougher for me because of my lack of linguistic skills but I am still going for it as I want to make a difference in people’s lives. Sounds cheesy right? Well, I cannot really express it in any other ways. (Pardon me for my lousy language) I guess my experience in St. John’s did mould me into who I am today. I can still remember the first time I stepped into the CCA without knowing what I was in for. Learning first aid wasn’t easy but I enjoyed it as it was very logical. If you knew me well enough, you would know that I am a person of logic. I like learn things that I am able to relate to other stuff that make sense to me. Like in first aid, it is mostly about science, biology to be exact. Signs and symptoms of shock are typically pale blue lips, cold clammy skin and slow capillary refill. Shock is a condition where there is a drop in blood pressure from injury or disease and this drop causes the above symptoms as less blood reaches these areas. Sounds logical right? Back to making a difference in people’s lives, guess it is in my blood but I do like helping people. It gives me a sense of achievement when people really appreciate it. Whenever I am able to help render first aid to people that are injured, I feel proud that I am able to help.

Passion is pretty important too. After all, the medicine course is 5 to 6 years long and during this time, there is much to study. Without the passion, studying would become a chore and this would ultimately lead to disaster. Furthermore, I would be studying overseas, without the support of my family. I really cannot imagine how it would be like. Somemore, the learning doesn’t stop after the course. Doctors are still expected to continually update themselves on the latest techniques and procedures. So definitely, passion pretty vital to anyone who wants to become a doctor.

I guess the quality that would make me a good doctor would be compassion. I find that I am able to put myself in other people’s shoe pretty easily. Somehow when people do things that piss me off, I am sometimes still able to think calmly and react appropriately. Although that makes me cowardly in one sense it also means that I can think in a highly stressful situation. Not to shabby eh? I believe all these qualities have their positive and negative sides. It’s like a double edged sword. Me being emotional would allow me to feel for my patients but it would also cloud my judgment when an impartial decision is required.

I believe if I was a doctor in Grey’s anatomy, I would be Dr. Isobel Stevens. The doctor with the most passion but the one that would let her emotions cloud her judgment. Haha. I feel so dangerous right now, but then again, I have met worst. :P

AHM tomorrow! How am I ever going to plough myself through 21 kilometers! That is like half the length of the PIE. OMG! Hopefully I won’t go into acute myocardial infarction. Haha.

Well, today is worth celebrating because its 100 days from my ORD. I really cannot wait till the day when I ORD, the feeling is going to be totally weird. 2 years being chained up by the regimentation of the army and then total freedom. Think I might need a course on transition back to a civillian.

Really lousy week ahead of us. We have to burn the next weekend to go outfield and it's National Day. Which unit does that?!? We are seriously biting a lot more than we can chew and I am about to choke. It's just insane. I really hope I survive to enjoy the long break that follows. Lots of events like driving test, IELTS (englsh test) and my grandpa's 80th birthday which I am really excited about.

O well, as they say, "suck thumb lor"

On happier note, fifty four foxtrot did pretty well for atec 1. Hehe. Thanks to Jia Wei, Kian Meng and the most of all, the hero of the day, Willy!

--*Random thoughts.

self·ish
–adjective
1. devoted to or caring only for oneself; concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits, welfare, etc., regardless of others.

I am guessing everyone is guilty of it once in a while. But the thing is, there are many different types of selfishness. Some more unforgiveable than others. It's not so bad if you are aware of it and trying to change for the better(or not?) but the worst is when one is completely oblivious to it. Why am I writing this? Because this is the problem I am facing in the armee. It's irritating and disappointing, and I really need to vent it out before I explode on someone. Furthermore, I guess this way is nicer cause I don't have to point fingers at anyone even though I am, but nobody knows.

I do admit I am quite selfish at times when it comes to lending things. My reason being that there has been too many a times it never comes back that makes me really reluctant to do so, especially in the armee. But I am not trying to put the blame on others cause ulitmately, you are responsible for your own actions. I, myself, am gulity of losing things that I have borrowed from others.(sorry kenneth!)

However, there are two types of selfishness that really piss me off a lot. The first one is where there is a task at hand and everyone is to help, but some don't. Let's not phrase it this way. There is a task that your friend has and it is not complusory to help and you don't. I don't know how to phrase it properly but the thing is HELP for goodness sake. I am not saying that you must help for every single little task but when there is something that requires more manpower, go and help. It really irritates me a lot to see people not helping just because it doesn't concern them. Don't give me the bulls*** reason that you don't know because either you obviously do or you don't care. Once or twice, it's totally fine, but I have seen you do it so many times. I don't show it because I always hope that I might actually be wrong or I am biased against you but it doesn't seem to be that way.

The second is also very hard for me to express. You don't have to make others feel bad just to make yourself feel good. Like if something is neither is disadvantageous to you, you don't have to make others feel bad. This is too hard for me to write it. Let's just end here...

The world doesn't revolve around you.

This few weeks have been crazy and it is really messing with my plans. Made me miss my driving lesson (again! my instructor must hate me now) and dinner with my council friends. Not too much I can say or write. Reason one being it's probably safer not to write anything in case I charged for revealing secret information. Reason two being there's nothing interesting to write because my camp life is no where near interesting, more like tiring. Many times they are so mentally tiring that I just want to heck it all and leave.

Haiz, uni application is such a pain in the ass. Especially the overseas one. So many things to do and my parents keep nagging me to do it. It's true that I am delaying and I know they mean well but sometimes I really just don't feel like doing it. I don't know why also. Am I that lazy? Ahh! So confusing. Okok. I will do it tommorrow. Chance to get out of my house and see how much the outside world has changed anyway.

Nothing much to write.... Just nuaing....

My life has official ended today.
I just finished watching grey's anatomy season finale today. It's over. It's all over... I am going to have to wait for 124 days for the next season. One Hundred and Twenty Four Days! That is like 4 months! Four freaking months! What am I to do in this four months. Cry myself to sleep everyday? Haiz. Life is getting from bad to worst. O well, I still have Bones, so it's not that bad. The shows
are really good though.

Spoiler Warning
Highlight to see
O my, I am really puzzled as to why Torres kissed Hahn. Isn't she straight? Is she turning les? Pretty shocked and traumatized when i saw them kiss. Sent shivers down my spine. But anyway, all is well with meredith and derek again, as expected.

As for Bones, really shocked me when they started talking about going to Booth's funeral. I seriously thought that the show would just end like that since the main lead is dead. But then in the end, the funeral is a fake. but. but. but...Zack is actually a killer and a mole inside the lab. omg. So i guess zack wouldn't be in the show much anymore. AHH!

Going to register for Aus uni tommorrow then going off to the zoo for some family day thing. Then off to
my grandma's house. Really looking forwaard it. :)

All the drama series are really exciting this week. Grey's anatomy is having its season finale on thursday. Bones is equally exciting with booth being shot. Really cannot wait till book out next week. I am going to go crazy waiting for the next episodes to be released.

don't wonder why people go crazy
wonder why they don't
in the face of all we can lose in a day
in an instance
wonder what the hell it is
that makes us hold it together

Really like the quotes they give in grey's. They always make so much sense. I really wonder why sometimes i am still hanging on. But i am pretty sure part of the answer to that is friends. Without them, i would have given up long ago. Sometimes they can really give you the extra boost you need to make it through the day. They would ask you if you are fine, listen to what you have to say. They don't judge you. They care about you.

Just kinda lazed at home on sat. On sunday, i went to visit alex with willy in the morning. He's feeling much better, really relieved that nothing serious happened. Afternoon was spent at my dad's sister's housewarming party. Pretty boring actually. Oops. Wanted to play with the baby but he seemed really restless and kept crying. O well. Evening was spent with my dad's other sister. Went to her friend's house where her friend introduced us to a million and one plants that can be boiled with water and drank which made my parents uber excited. They were really nice and gave us some sapling to take home which my parents accepted without hesitation. Looks like i am headed for a series of weird concoctions next week.

Forgot to mention that my sister got me a new wallet. Yipee! Didn't i say mention i am constantly showered with love? Hehe. Will try to post a photo of it.

Time for another scintillating update. (omg, I got the spelling for scintillating correct! congrats to me!)

Sorry guys, my camera didn't work that day, so no photos. We met at bugis that day, and did the usual thing our class does best - stand around in a circle and decide where to eat. We finally settled on the newly opened food court there. Food was not bad. After that, we got lost a while trying to search for the mind's cafe there. The games there were mediocre, but I guess it was because of our large group, there wasn't much of a choice. Well, it was still fun nonetheless. Talked to the gals about the courses they are taking. Reminiscent about our jc teachers and realised that they have all left tj. (only lokey and mrs loo left) Daydream with willy, hoping felicia chin will come. (lol) And as usual, we ended off with willy knocking down the jenga tower.

I haven't really announced this officially because i wasn't sure at first, but i guess now's the time. I should be studying medicine and it is more or less decided. Unfortunately, the prestigious Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine didn't want to accept me because i didn't do so well in my language. (you can porblbay sopt a lot of gmaremr and sllepnig mstkiaes in this psot) So i need to study in another country. As for which country, i have not decided yet, but i am kind of leaning towards australia rather than uk now because of what my parents said and they can be really correct at times. Australia is so much cheaper and the cost of living is lower so they feel that i can survive more comfortably there as compared to uk which is really reallly &*#@ expensive. Taking the bus there can easily buy you a meal or two here in singapore. Another point they brought up was australia is much near so there is less time difference and i can come back more often because of cheaper air tickets which is once again true. I am still applying a few uk unis though and see how it goes.
Here's the list: U of Adelaide (aus)
UNSW (aus)
U of Queensland (aus)
U of Western Aus. (aus)
U of Melbourne (aus)
U of Bristol (uk)
U of Brimingham (uk)

So any advice anyone? Which uni are good and which are better? Went to browse xj's entries just before she left singapore. Come to think of it, it will really be hard for me. After all, being the youngest and having 2 great elder sisters, i am literally, constantly, showered with love. Really have no idea how i am going to leave alone there. Ahh, i hate this. How? HOw? HOW?

Well, time passes quite fast and i am 186 days away from my freedom, although there are still a few hurdles for me to jump past. But i shall survive. (i hope)

My first driving lesson tommorrow. Quite nervous even though i know how to drive a jeep already but cars are so different. They are so much lower. O well, we shall see.

Ok. I am finally updating again. Sorry people, but I have been really lazy. Come to think of it, army does make you lazy. Haha. A few updates, on leave again till sunday, going back to selarang camp, which is kinda dreadful.

Went out with 9 other scouties today to watch "The Forbidden Kingdom". Rating I would give? 1.5/5. 1 point for making it so funny and 0.5 for the kungfu action. Movie was pretty lousy, guess the director was trying to hard to sell a chi-na movie in english. Making them speak english was so weird. Just. So. Wrong. I dunno. Certain scenes were pretty funny, like the Jackie Chan cutting the hair of the witch and the Jade Emperor "blowing" the traveller back to his hometown. Made me accidently explode in laughter and I felt kind of bad because I was a little loud for like a second or two.

Yesterday I made pancakes and chocolate fondants. They looked really good but tasted ok which was a bit disappointing. I took pictures of them but they are inside my sister's phone which require a bit of effort to take out. I will post them though, I promise. Anyway, I got the receipes from videojug.com and they have tons of recipes there. Xj, you can browsing the website if you need some culinary ideas. Haha. Some are pretty simple so don't worry.

Things are looking good this weekend with a council outing tomorrow night and with my family on sunday. Whoopie!

As can be seen, my blog has been stagnant for quite some time, so I guess it's time for a new entry.

Well, the new year came at the right time as it was a well deserved break from the outfields we've been having every week. Now, that we have reunited with the other 6, things should be much easier.

Out of all the new years, I guess this should be the one which I went to the least relatives' house. Less visits also mean the dip in hongbao money, but I don't really care much since they say it's the thought that counts right?

Up to now you mught be thinking why I am blogging at this weird day and time. The thing is I am on leave, since there isn't much time to clear it once atec starts which I totally dread. Yesterday was pretty interesting cause I went to crash Jonathan's anatomy lecture. It was good to feel like a student again, where time is your own and you are free to do what you like. The lecture was mind blowing and it was only about the mandible, such a small part of the body and already millions of nerve, muscle and bones. Lemme recall some parts I learn yesterday: lingual nerve, mylohyoid line, mylohyoid, stylohyoid, anterior and posterior belly of the digastric muscle, chorda tympani, sublingual and submaxillary gland and many many more which my brain is unable to retain. Haha. An eyeopener, nonetheless.

On the way back home I met joanne and stacy, and we chat on the mrt. It was nice catching up with friends. Should do that more often, but then again, time must allow me first.

The last week of RCC is finally here. I kinda wish it would be longer cause I really don't want to go back to unit where we live in fear everyday thinking about RSM. Sometimes I don't understand why some people have to instill fear into other people just to get them to do to what they want. I am just so tired living in fear which is why I hate NS some much. I yearn for freedom and someday I wish that I would be able to do what I want without anyone else caring. I feel like my life is like this tape playing in a VCR but is on pause right now.

Ok. Enough of that. Dota this week was much better. Haha. Night Stalker is so much easier to use compared to all the other heros and Kenneth's advice really did help. I shall slowly bring Balanar to a higher level.

I bought the grey's anatomy season 3 dvd by the way and it has been great so far and i have no regrets that it costed me 80 bucks. Seriously, it is not as expensive as you think it is. Seriously.

Back from RCC week 2. Let's just say I am tattered and torn now. It could be worse, but let's not go there.

Nothing much is happening this weekend, so it's mainly staying at home and recover.

Did some surfing and had some insights. Well, I guess everyone grows up in a different environment which would ultimately shape our character. Families have different emphasise on certain values. The point that I am trying to bring across is not to be too critical of other people. It does no one any good.

As can seen from Willy's blog, we have just come back from Taiwan. It was fun while it lasted, and i think it did bonded the 12 scouties together.

Basically, our lives in Taiwan is quite simple, but cannot say much because it is mostly SAF related stuff. How can i put it? Wake up, eat, sai kang, eat, sleep. Haha.

Well, let me formerly introduce the 11 other scouties whom i am going to spend the rest of my NS life with.

Jason - Nothing to say other than NSF PS.
Ignatius - Best guy to get if you want any discount from aunties.
Kenny - My maternal grandpa's brother's son's son aka 2nd cousin?
Kenneth - My fellow theoretical physicst.
Samuel - DOTA/Counterstrike/Any other LAN game pro.
Zhou Xiang - China man. Best strategist i have ever seen.
Timothy - Most responsible guy in the lot.
Hui Kai - Quiet man.
Melvin - Gonfu master.
Enci - The garang guy.
Willy - Need i say more?

RCC on Monday. Help!

--*Back from Taiwan...

As you can see, my diary is working fine again. Don't know what happened that day, maybe I am not fated to post the entry. Well, learning to drive has been quite fun so far. Guess I am lucky enough to get a nice instructor. Passed my Highway code, HSP and parking already, so the only obstacle left is driving test, which also happens to be the only thing standing between me and off on friday and sat! Really hope I don't make any stupid mistake that day, and I better open my eyes wide to look out for any danger. Wish me luck!

Discussed with willy about the class outing, but we are both too lazy to put it in action. Haha. We shall see huh? Nothing much to say. Till then!

--*Driving....

Finally! A new entry! Last time I updated like once every 2 weeks, now it is like monthly. But seriously, when I book out, I just don't feel like updating even though I am very free. O yar, i checked my Stat counter and amazingly there were still a few hits everyday. Sorry to those that keep checking back, hoping for an entry.

Well, a few updates first. I have POPed from SISPEC and have been posted to 3SIR Recce. Yes, you heard me correctly, recce. At first I felt like it was end of the world, sometimes, it still feels a little bit like this. The problem is, of all things for me to specialise in, I get something that requires me to walk the most, which unfortunately is also my biggest weakness. The good thing is Willy is in the same unit, together with me, so I have someone I can talk to when I cannot take it anymore. Recently, we have also been sent for a jeep course, and it is a stay out course. This means I get to go home everyday for a month. Yippeee! and I also get to learn how to drive. Double yippee! So maybe i will update more often.

Wonder how everyone is doing... One good thing about the Army is that you really get to know a lot of good friends. In BMT, you get to know 50 from your platoon. SISPEC, another 40. Now, 3SIR, 12 plus a few of the men, another 20 and all the instructors, around 15. That totals to about 137 people in just 5 to 6 months. Cool eh?

Well, we should really have a scg outing soon, dying to see how everyone in our class is doing. Will discuss with Willy tommorrow. Till then.
