being the conducting for csb nearly killed me. planning weeks before the actual 32km march was hectic, and when it was time for execution on the actual day, everything just went wrong - from generators being faulty to deadfalls blocking the march route etc. it felt as though someone had planned to ruin me! but thank god, the guys still met the timings and got their csb badge. i actually lost 2kg in 2 days, partly cos i had no time for dinner on day1, and lunch and dinner on day 2. ouch
and yea, i turn 21 today. nothing exciting, since everyone says i look like a 16yo kiddo haha. my simple party last night was alright, and i apologise to those whom i couldnt invite due to the limited space at home.
cheers to adulthood, yo.

only thing that's lacking are wednesday nights, so we can do too many broken hearts with love in the first degree, together forever in electric dreams! :D |

i) the PAC marked the end of professional term in ocs, FINALLY. running 8km and clearing soc in fbo is no joke; excruciating to be exact. but this was when i saw the team spirit of my platoon shine, and reaching the end point was orgasmic. i injured my back though, its aching like #%*! now!
ii) dynasty warriors strikeforce is my latest addiction lol. can be quite a sight when you see my bunk turn into a lan shop
iii) staff officer? ;) |

as much as i wanted to stay out of the fields as possible, i still went ahead with a picnic out in the fields of sentosa haha.
  
great food and company, & can't forget how ce accidentally started the engine of a buggy and i had to stop it from moving with a rock :D

i) i can't help it but feel totally green, that ryan tay is seeing the world at his age and getting the experience of a lifetime. yes diver, im referring to you lucky brat hahaha. i want a diving and driving license, i want to study and work abroad, i want to travel around europe and take weed, i want to ski and bungee jump! all these before i turn 30 yo!
ii) i survived and passed jcc, with killions and dillions of bites and cuts, and a loss of 5kg. i don't think im allowed to share the details so come to me if you wanna find out more, but i must say this course has been the most challenging one for me, both physically and mentally; though some may think its nothing. ah im just glad to be in singapore, i dont ever wanna return to brunei yo!!
iii) im gonna get cracking for my aussie uni applis, so keep a lookout and update me if you happen to know of any fairs k thanks
iv) 6 more weeks :) |

hola people, its almost 3 weeks at SH and i havent been late for work at all, cept when i had a stayover at val's a couple nights ago and i was 3min late. now that's a first and im damn proud of myself :D
work can be a bitch, especially when i have customers who refuse to pay their bills and make so much noise; when i have many indian and prc customers calling in, and not understanding what theyre saying majority of the time; and when i have a tendency of giving wrong information to customers and making them angry as a result hahaha. what's worse, i havent touched my tennis racket for 3-4 weeks.
but work's also fun, when i've a guardian angel at work who buys me milo peng and bubble tea, and when we can email colleagues and gossip heh.
