this week is quite a gd week for me. I pass my TP! yay! The testor was late for half an hour and so he gave me an easy route plus I did not do parallel parking. Anyway, I am so happy that I passed!
Had NDP rehearsal. I did the full run for this week because my driver was injured and so I followed the main vehicles. I think it is much better than to be a reserve. My toe was hit by a fire extinguisher as I was unloading the stuff.
Other than that, nothing much this week.

It has been a terrible week for me. On Wednesday, I went for NDP recce. We finished at 1330 and they dumped us at Kallang Leisure Park with no transport. There was no cab there. We ended up taking MRT and reached Lot 1 at 0030. We then walked all the way to teck whye macs for supper. Finally we booked, in at 0130
The next day, I went to eat breakfast at the OM. Hongyi, Aaron and I wore headdress on our way. However, on the way back, CO saw a few of the new specs not wearing headdress. He sent an email to 2IC and CSM. As we forgot to wear headdress back, we were punished together with the rest of them even though we did not get caught.
Yesterday(saturday), I went for NDP rehearsal at Kallang. It was super boring. There were long waiting hours. Worst, I guided a vehicle and it hit the tree branch. The antenna broke. As we were going back, my vehicle hit another tree branch and the top metal piece was a bit dented.
Conclusion: I had a bad week. Pray everything will only be better and I must pass my TP next week!

I forgot to post last week. There was range for us. We did not get marksman but it does not matter because it is too difficult to get it. Then there was ATP the following day where we helped out. On Sunday, there was NDP reahearsal. It was really hot and boring. I did not do anything at all. It was just eat and sleep, particularly since I watched Champion's League the night before and lacked sleep.
There was IPPT this week for Hongyi. He was doing quite well until he tripped over a stone and sprain his ankle. We celebrated Jared's bday on Tuesday. He was quite happy I think. Then I went to Harold's mum's wake today. It was quite sad for me because I have known her for quite some time. She is a very nice person and always buy food for me when I visit. Not to forget the free car rides that I have taken in her car. Hope she can rest well in Heaven and may his family be blessed with good health.
NDP reahearsal again on Sunday. :(

Last Saturday, my brother organized a bbq to celebrate his gf's birthday. It was quite weird that he invited his uni friends instead. Anyway, I think we had quite a good time though the food was not very good. My brother opened his bottle of vodka but his friends did not drink much.
I had MA at jurong medical centre on Monday. I was discharged by the doctor.
There was coms trial on tuesday. The weather was very hot and all of us were sunburnt. The lunch was delicious. It's this indonesian grilled chicken or fish with egg and rice.
On wednesday, I received the call from MOE that they could not award me the overseas scholarship. It was expected but I was still disappointed. There ends my hopes of studying overseas. I went to eat burger king at west mall and then we went bowling at westwood bowl. I had no mood for bowling and just threw the ball anyhow. I tried spinning but I think I have no talent.
On thursday, the cookhouse served its best dinner!
On friday, we booked out early, at 2.10pm. Went to watch Ip Man 2. It is a very nice show :). I bought toto hoping to strike 5 million. Well, at least I zong 20 dollars.
Today, I was supposed to eat kuishinbo but joshua didnt want to so we ate at ambush instead. I ate Rostis and bockwurst, which is pork sausage. It is nice but not filling. After that, we went to play mahjong at Joshua's house. I won 5 tai on the last game so I think I won overall though we didnt play money. Joshua's house is big but old. We ate this fruit cake his mother baked which was really nice.

This week has not been a very unlucky week for me. On thursdaay, there was an MP raid. I was caught with two pirated DVDs in my drawer. I was shocked that the penalty is worse than bringing a camera handphone into camp. Anyway, I will accept my punishment. Hope that its not too bad. As I told Carolyn, if the world is unfair, I will try to make it fair. I am not going to blame anyone, even god for this bad luck. Instead I am trying to bring myself good luck. Also, I will try to change. For a start, I brought my DVD player home. I will try to be a good boy from now on.
Other than that, this week was ORD week, not for me but for the our senior batch, the one I am closest to. Its a bit sad to see them go but I know that they have served their time and its ORD for them. Wish them good luck. I was quite sad that my PC is leaving. He has been a very nice friend to me.
I think Ching Wan is a very interesting person. He saves nearly all his money and does not even want to spend money on food. He is also a very secretive person. He likes to do things and not let people see. Anyway I think he has his virtues but he needs to enjoy life a bit too. If not, he is really missing out on the good things in life, as James says. I shall try to understand him better and coax him to 'enjoy more.
I also took my IPPT on Tuesday. It was very tiring. My stomach ached from the sit ups and its still aching now. I was a bit disappointed that I ran only 8.59 but I know that this is an acceptable timing since I have not been training. 200 Dollars in the pocket.
Hope that I will have GOOD LUCK soon. Thanks :)

It has been quite long since I last blogged. I decided to start again to write down my thoughts and feelings. I received a wonderful surprise on Wed when my army friends celebrated my brithday for me. It was then that I realized that what I needed in my life is actually my friends who will always be there for me. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO MADE MY DAY :g )
I went out on my birthday with my platoon. We played bowling in the morning. I had a bit of birthday luck in the first round. I got quite a good score of 120 but the luck worn out in the rest of the games and I averaged 80+. After that we watched Iron Man 2. I never watch the first episode and I kind of fell asleep during the long show and missed the most exciting part when they were fighting. Vince, Hon yang and I went to eat dinner and then we had waffle with ice cream at 313. We had a long chat about our lives then. It was quite a wonderful day.
I went to IMM with my parents today. My mother and I were resting outside a shop when she suddenly saw a man drop a note. She asked me how much it was. I look at the note. It was one which I had never seen before with a lot of zeros so I said it was RMB. She alerted the man and he picked his note up. We then realized we were 1k poorer. On the way back, I accidentally knocked into a girl carrying a balloon while crossing the road and the balloon fell out of her hand and flew away. I was quite paiseh and felt really bad for the girl. My parents and I had dinner at the usual zi char place. I realize that this place holds a lot of memories for me and I will always remember the different people that I visit this place with and things that happen here. Thats all for the week :).
Thanks for all the birthday wishes, friends and family :)
