Yes everyone.. Im back from the wonderful chalet island of Pulau Tekong.. or wad i call Tekong Slimming Centre. Corrections.. actually i think i gained some weight going there. The food portions are huge but quite detrimental to your taste buds.. training is incredibly tough but surprisingly satisfying.. Bunks at rocky hills are pretty large,spacious and clean (except for the bees that cause my bunk to be flustered).. people are pretty nice.. All JC people and no smokers in my bunk which equates to cleaning air and easier communication. Hahaz. Overall had a pretty good time so far. Nothing that really bothers me. Just that the day actually seems very long there. I wonder why.. Oh and the nights there are very cold. Yes. Its cold. Days without blanket are torturous. So unlike Mainland Singapore. Ok enough army information for my 1st entry as a recruit. ( Oh and im actually not allowed to reveal too much information..) So bye for now.=D

Okz. Wednesday was fun. Met up with my 'family'. Had good dinner at bedok blk 85. Pigged away with all the good food and chatted alot. Haven't seen many of them since eons ago. Anyway that really brought back good old TMS memory. How i miss those days. Ok after that didn't really do much so just went home. I want more outings!

2dae was another good day! Met TMS ARC people again. Had dinner at the HK cafe at siglap. Food was good but the mango ice was so-so only. Haha, in fact it tasted rather bland. After that went Video EZ borrow DVD before coming to my house to watch. Hahaz. Had fun. Oh i realised its the 1st time they come to my house. Sorry for not inviting ya all earlier!=D Anyway going into army in 1 day plus time. Oh mind. Wish me luck!The few of us outside my house.. LOL.. Under the stars!

As army enlistment date draws increasingly near, i really begin to miss everyone. Have been meeting with groups of friends that are so important to me. Last Friday had JTS, which was a BBQ. Food was pretty little heh. Anyways did enjoy it. Thanks Nat and everyone for organising it. Then came Saturday. Had another BBQ with TMS ARC people at coach's condo at Bukit Batok. Finally met up with my bestest group of friends in ARC. They are the people that have trained hard with me and gone through alot with me. Actually it was quite a weird experience. Supposed to meet kel at bedok, but because i was late i stopped at tanah merah instead and told him to meet me there. He said that he would call me to board the train once he arrive. However, he misunderstood and when he called me, he had already passed tanah merah. So funny lah. then in the end, he had to stop at Bedok. Lol. Quite dumb. Then went Bugis to meet vick before going there. Anyway we were grossly late. Then once again, we were abit loss at Bukit Batok interchange. But our dear kel had GPS on his phone. BUT. The sad thing was that when it loaded, we were almost at the condo le. -_-" But we could find the place with our excellent map reading skills. =D

Such a waste that addy couldnt make it. Anyways me, vick, kel, da jie, kat, gab, cuishan, jj, leewei all went. Haha. Brings back memories of the old days. I really miss shooting. Or rather more of the people. The day ended very late, but coach was nice enough to ask a colleague to send us home. Thanks alot to coach for the BBQ! Coach BBQ is always the most enjoyable BBQ that i look forward to annually! Haha.
My 2 bestest ARC friends!

Yesterday went to this A*star talk with shan, ye wei and john. (too bad vincent's in army) Anyway, the talk was ok, some interesting speakers. But hey, what can you expect from a research scholarship talk! haha. Act it's shan's idea to go coz she claimed that goody bag was good.-_-" However, it turned out that it was pretty bad, coz of the many brochures and nothing exciting. Lol. Then came lunch. It was ok, nothing special though. So after the talk I had to go somerset for my specialist appointment. Seeing that it was still very early, we to Citilink shop with them. Then we settled down at Gelare to have waffle! Like it alot. Warm waffle with maple syrup and rum n raisin ice-cream.. Rocks man! Chatted alot about john! Hmm, shall not disclose anything here coz john will kill me. So yea, after ice-cream rushed off to somerset. When i went to the clinic, was abit late. But it so happened that there was some delay or something so i had to wait like 1.5 hours there before i could see the doctor. Watched this dumb video about Botox at the clinic, which lasted 1.5 exactly. Lol. Anyway learnt alot about Botox! So yea met the doctor and apparently the rest had just finished their pool session. So i went to meet them at City Hall before going home together. Hahaz. Turned out to be a pretty tiring day but yea, had fun.

Gonna meet my 'family' later. Long time never see them le. Hope it will have a good time. =D

Oh and vincent finally replied. Haha. Or rather, he called me to chat about his army experience. Sounds like good fun and slack. Oh and got some advice from him that seems useful. Oh and to john, i told Vin about it le. So sorry cant shut my trap, but it's all for your own good! =D

Chalet's over, so i guess the last event that I can officially gather with most of my class people would be during grad night. Anyway, looking back at the past 2 years in tjc, I can firmly conclude that my decision to go tjc is the right choice. I can still vividly remember this time of the year, 2 years ago. Post O's. I was struggling to decide where to go. Was it going to be vjc or tjc. But i chose to go with most of my friends to tjc, quite to my parents dismay. Anyway there i went on a journey of no return. Entered tjc and I've got to admit i felt pretty comfortable because of the many familiar faces. As for subject combination, I didn't really know what i wanted to do. And so once again, i got influenced by friends. John wanted to do PCBME, so yes, i went to do it with him. LOL. I sound like a mindless freak. I could still remember the trauma i went through initially. Everyone's timetable ended at 3 promptly. But guess what? Mine ended at 6! Yes, i felt like a lifeless creature. The worst was yet to come. I can still remember how horribly i did for tests and exams. As for lessons, i had to struggle to even keep awake because i had difficulty understanding and i was darn tired! I was really demoralized then. Really felt like dropping a subject. But guess it's the friends that I've made in the class that really gave me the courage and motivation to continue. That's what i love about 01/06. We're like one big family. There's this strong bonding among ourselves. Yes we do form cliques among ourselves, but we never fail to consider everyone as an important entity of the class.

In 01/06, there is no exactly a quiet moment. Every little free time we had together is filled with laugher. I don't remember laughing so much in my life before. It actually taught me to be more optimistic about life. There's no necessity to get all tensed and stressed up over everything. We can turn almost everything under the sun into a joke. Although our indecisiveness do make me feel quite pissed off sometimes, i guess i miss it still.

Many people out there perceive 01/06 as the "nerd" class. But i can't help but to feel quite disturbed by these remarks. Yes the people here are darn smart. >6A1s is quite common. But there are people in the class that are not born as smart. A.k.a. Me. To me, i feel that this class excel because we do assist each other and perhaps we do get our priorities right. When it's time to study we do put in the effort to do so. (Even thought sometimes we tend to be lazy and slack away) Anyway, no matter how much they traumatize me with their superb grades, i still love them. I've heard some of my friends feel demoralized because they claim they pulled the class average down. But hey, does it really matter. We aren't really bothered by those class rankings, that initially serve to spur us on but as time went by, didn't really bothered us. Rankings and statistics are nothing but a list of numbers used to discriminate everyone. So, i really feel proud to be in 01/06 and love you people.

Some messages to some people in the class:
Vin, Nerd, Ye Wei, Shan, QiHui-- a.k.a. my b****ing partners. Thank you guys for playing a BIG role in my JC life. Thanks for all the nonsense conversations and meaningless things we've done together. I just realised that I've been having lunch with you guys like almost EVERYDAY of these 2 years. And thanks for all the motivation through b****ing you guys gave me thoughout these 2 years. Outings are all great. Yes we do complain a lot but hey, i really enjoy your company. It's not the things we do that matter, instead, it's the people that accompanied you that matters. I really can't imagine life without you guys!

John-- My classmate for eons. Thanks so much for being my source of inspiration motivation. You'be been a really good friend and god (as all the TKD people call you), must not forget me after you become a doctor one day kz! Must give free consultation!

Ilyana -- Special thanks to you who was in my PW and dustbin group! Thanks for the dedication and I really couldn't have done so much without you! =D

Dar Dar!-- PW was made a real enjoyable experience with you! I miss the Raffles Place frenzy over sotong and fried mars bars and how we couldn't resist the temptation of shopping. And not to forget our efficiency! We rock as a team. And jia you in your attempt to conquer number 1,2,3 and 4! And keep building up your PF (joking!)

Wan Ting and Wan Yee--the sisters that differ greatly in size (joking!=D), Thanks for everything. The tattoo, the laughter, and all the screaming. The little thrills in life.

Next are the TJC ARC people which also contributed to my library of pleasant memories.
Vicki Chan Hui Qing-- Known you for... 6 years?? Very very long le. Anyway, AR would never be the same without YOU. A friend that share the same passion in shooting as me. Initially joined ARC to slack, but you together with Kel has made everything so enjoyable! Thanks for being my inspiration and motivation too, and not to forget all those fun time spent together. All the nonsense and stupid things we've done together will forever remain in my heart! Cheers to many many years of friendship!

Ernest-- Known you for only like 1.5 years but I must say that you have been a great great friend! Perhaps the few people who share the same passion in shooting as me! Sharing my workload in ARC and making my life so much easier. A good friend to talk to! Good luck for everything in the future! Jia You!

To those not specially mentioned, please don't feel left out. I love ya all too! Everyone that has crossed my path in my life is important to me. So I really appreciate and love everyone.=D
