Diver

ICT for the 1st time, and everything dated few years back, bits and pieces of that 2 years suddenly came across my mind, the time when I survived as a soldier.

From a non-swimmer initially, I was posted to NDU as a trainee back then. Surprised, panic and was thinking, how was that possibly be when I don’t even know how to swim back then? For the 1st few weeks of trainings, I can still remember how scared I was when swimming lessons and tests were conducted, especially when we were learning more advanced swimming techniques. It was like learning to fly before i learnt to walk. Thinking back, seriously, how did I manage to pull through?

Have experienced many many things. Went to Taiwan to challenge the surf, went to Brunei to survive in the jungle, witnessed friends having a change in character (negatively), witnessed death, seen through the colours of people when hard times come, and of course known quite a handful of good friends. Together, I understood myself better, some good, some bad, and to me, some things I just can’t change within me.

Dive, dive, dive for this 1st week of ICT, and sinus problem almost gave me a scare. It was the 1st time ever happened to me, not even during my 2 years as an NSF I experienced this. I spitted out blood after failing to clear the pressure while diving, and having some hearing problems after I surfaced. Luckily, it was not serious and I recovered the following day. Frightening, but at least another experience gained. Shall not forced myself into going deeper if I can’t clear the pressure.

This 1 week really seems very long for me.

1st day of ICT, and it was rather slack, still, and we were released early. Nowhere to go, and suddenly og outing came into my mind. Yup, I rejected them last week because I thought my ICT would end late, and so today last minute I told them I can go. =D 

Well, went to Nelson’s condo, and it was good. There is Karaoke facility and it seems quite updated. Speedy surely sang their hearts out. I did too, and sang a few songs, and 走音too. Ought to improve, and one day have to perfect it. But too bad, I don’t live in that type of condo, otherwise surely book everyday to train myself.

During the K-session, we celebrated all the December Babies birthdays, if I am not wrong. I think I did not get in touch with them for quite some while, and I forgot all their birthdays, and I even remember the name of one of my freshies wrongly. Ohh… I am quite embarrassed by it.

Speedy, arriba, arriba, ándale, ándale.

Confessions of a non-shopaholic

I went to shop just now … and I duno when it was the last time I did that. Once I alighted from Somerset MRT, wah… very crowded, its just like another Comex or Sitex, or some free gifts going around. Well, perhaps it was the new shopping centre, 313 that is drawing such a big crowd.

Inside 313, it was just like a normal shopping centre, and the store at UniQlo is really packed, and it needed crowd control in the store. People are queuing up to go in, and it seems like good deals are really happening down there. Avoided there, squeeze through human traffic really not my cup of tea.

Travelled to Heeren, Far East and finally Ion, and eventually got myself a shirt, 2 pairs of berms and a pair of jeans. Well, got myself something, and now I understand how girls feel. Shopping is really nice, but provided money not an issue and of course, no human traffic.

Pinky & the..

Brain! Just trying to be lame.

Memorize, memorize and memorize. That is what I need to do for a module that most people have to do. Reason is being simple, no helpsheet, questions are not easy to understand, and it will come out almost similar to those of tutorial questions. And, the paper is in 2 days time.

And, I really need to remember alot of things, but my brain is not fully utilizing the space. It is known that most people use less than 1% of their brain cells each day, so I should be able to remember more, if i can make use of the other 99%! Come on brain, we can rule this module!

Delayed Friday the 13th

Today was bad. Not everything was wrong, just a particular one, and it made my day feel screwed.

I went for a run in the evening, before meeting my friends at Sakura for buffet dinner. I told my sister before hand, to let her know that I will be running so she will take note of not locking the metal gate. I had a great run despite having a minor stomachache, and I was so glad that I completed the run, and had the idea of rushing back home to  have my stress relieved. But as soon as I reached back home, I realised my sis locked up both the metal gate and the wooden door. And, I only brought the key for the wooden door out. So shit, stuck in me!

Frustrated, without any money with me, I ran down to the coffeeshop and borrowed coins from some uncles to call my sis and my mum. My sis hp cannot be engaged and the telephone ate my coins! I called my mum, and she was having dinner at Northpoint, and I asked her to rush back, because I am meeting my friends at 7pm! Late for sure. But the most urgent thing to do is, I am having a great upset with my tummy. I went inside the toilet of the coffeeshop and it was dirty, and the most important thing is, no toilet paper! And the next nearer coffeeshop was like so far away! So shit, stuck in me still!

I ended up waiting outside my door, waiting for my mum to return, enduring one of the longest stomachache I have ever had. I was cursing and swearing, but only hopelessly and helplessly praying that my mum will be teleported back as soon as possible. Waiting and waiting, a long torturing time, about an hour plus, at about 7+pm then my mum came back.

And, I was still in thoughts of what to do first, to call my friends to apologise or to go end my tormentous moment. Ended up I did the former but my friends hp cannot be engaged as well. Forget it, and I went ahead to relieve myself. Maybe its the endurance that made me feel very sick for the rest of the day. I went to Sakura later and ended up having no appetite. Its buffet, all great food!! But I ate a little only, and, I had to visit the washroom again and again. Now, back home, still having the same problem.

Depressed. Stomachache, faster go away.

Staring into blanks… That is what I am good at doing recently.  And here I am again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 more weeks

And its exams! This semester, as usual, is damn fast. Just a blink of an eye, one more semester and thats it.

Had been nua-ing over the past few weeks, did not know the reason, just felt the fatigue in me. Easily tired, kept sleeping, dozing off in lectures, feeling lethargic, yet when engaging in sports, I’m just like a ‘dragon’. Well, abit exaggerating!

Anyway,  A’Levels coming soon, hopefully all my 3 students can do well, especially Daryl. He was the student that I most worried off. Kept postponing tuitions, never do homework, asked similar questions over and over again, and also failed terribly in prelims. Still, even to the last minute, he wished to put in more effort in other subjects, and rejected my suggestion for intensive training. There is really nothing I can do for now. Jiu, all the best to him bah!

Jiu, everyone jiayou bah!

Ought To

Learn more IT skills. Almost going to get a nightmare after a virus attack! And it was from a fake one, a fake lethal virus that threatens to destroy my computer. Luckily, it was not serious and I managed to seek help from Jun Jie, and was really a good help.

Windows Enterprise Suite, another experience gained.

A huge relief!

Proportionality

Might not always hold. So what if you put in hard work and eventually obtained the same grades as some other slackers. In reality, hardwork does not necessary proportional to results.

To put in hardwork, at least guilt won’t be hounding me. And of course, no regrets!

If you think there is always tomorrow

Then you are absolutely stupid!!!

Thats one of the quotes from a JDrama I watched recently. Its called Proposal Daisakusen. It is just a normal JDrama, and it did not really have the catchy things that I hoped for a drama, like funny quotes, thrilling moments. It is really just an ordinary heartwarming love story, but it simply just made me continue watching it.

Thinking about the quote, it seems true but yet people take everything for granted. As for myself, I did not realize how much time I have wasted on the irrelevant things, until I lost many people, many things, and regrettful of the many actions that I have done. Taking a look back, how I wished I have the chance to change some of the wrong deeds that I have done in the past, just like what the male lead in the drama did. Too bad, I can’t.

Perhaps, I should cherish the present more.
