how i ended my september...

hihi,

i noe i said i b blogging like every wk but it seems impossible leh - n its not the lack of time tat is the problem but rather its cos i dun noe wad to blog abt. those hu noe me will noe tat im actually a guy of few words. so, i tink i will change the wkly part into a monthly post instead. then i shall force myself to articulate the numerous tots in my head juz soo tat i can bore ur'll by writing it here =p

SGP Formula One First Aid Duty
went for the duty again tis yr. it was certainly less stressful tis time since my involvement was quite little. nvrtheless, like b4, it was not always smooth sailing - bt then, wad is? so after thinking about it for a few daes decided to juz sweep the bad parts of the xperience under the carpet n move on while focusing on the gd parts. soooooo, here r the gd parts!

1) meeting new ppl:
one thing i really like abt tis type of large scale duty is tat i get to meet n work wif more SJ peeps other than the usual duty siaos n my zone ppl. it does create a sense of bonding and family spirit wif ppl of all ranks/zones/appointment working 2gether to contribute to teh bigger success of the org.

2) having gr8 company!
i muz realli thx Ms P for being such a gr8 company tolerating my nonsense n my more than occasional bad mood [srry i spoilt ur study plans =( n made u run arnd... ] had wonderful chit chat sessions tat really increased my respect n admiration for some of them. another nice part was tat there were a few moments where the care & concern we hav for one another - b they frm SJ or our non-SJ frends hu came to help out - was really evident like hw sum of them volunteered to stay bhind to help out or like when Kam gt lunch for me ( i suppose smehw she knew i wld b hungry...)

haha on the whole, i definitely enjoyed tis yr duty!



ES and YR's ROM
a BIGGG congratualtions to them! haha it was happy affair tat turned out 2 b quite a reunion for me. managed to catch up wif a few peeps whom i've nt seen for a long long time n realli had fun doin so. oso managed to find the 1st baby tat did not cry when he/she 1st saw me! was sooo cute lah. anw had to leave early cos i was really quite tired havin not slept much the night b4 =( anw, i try to post sum pics of the event sum other tym...


NPCC .38 Shooting Competition
participating in tis for the 2nd yr running, sadly my shooting is
getting worst, haiz!!!! anways, nothing much to say abt it except
tat the competition's going to be held tis wkend so wish us all the luck!





all in all, sept was a veri bz mth cos it was full of mani evts but i foresee myself being buried in books mugging away for the nxt 1 -2 mths preparing for the all important exams coming up soon... anyhows to all who are having/goin to hav their exams

remember, 1) nvr lose hope
2) always try ur best in all that u do
AND THE REWARDS WILL COME UR WAY!
JIAYOUZ!!! & ALL THE BEST!!!

busy busy month...

wow sept juz flew pass me n im still drowning in work, assignments etc... its been quite a hectic month esp in terms of SJ activities... can't really write much cos gt a lecture to attend in a while so juz details to keep u bz till i come back wif a proper post:

OTC Commissioning Parade 2009
- good! it'll really be great if the idea of having a parade for the commissioning is continued cos it require more effort from the participants hence will make it all the more meaningful to them...

SJ Walkathon 2009
- hmmm... quite hectic but in the end everything went smoothly so i guess its quite ok yah. gd turnout from TIC n a biggggg thank you 2 all the officers hu came to help ou =)

BFA/AFA examinations

- SGP F1 night races!!!!

erm tats all for nw, i hear the cool airconditioned lecture theatre callin my name... =p

1st week of a hectic month...

yup its sept alrdy, darn time flying by fast! tis month is goin 2 b quite tiring cos gt things lined up all month - from test to pds to training etc... hope it'll b fun too...

updates, updates!!!

"phewwwwww! phewwww!" [me trying to blow the dust off my blog], man its been quite sumtime since i last blogged. though nt xactly surprising since im usually a quiet guy (can visualise lotz of my previous trainees shaking their head rite nw), i tink this recent 'blog silence' is more due 2 the collective lost of inspiration to blog. even SO (an avid blogger), has been silent for quite sum time. in any case, im back now n shall attempt to blog at least once weekly. hopefully tis attempt doesn't end like all others i started tis yr -in failure (:<)

my hols r overrrrrr!!!!! noooooooooo!!!! though i always seem sian during the hols (cos my life more-or-less consists of sch and SJ only and the absence of either equals lotz of time wif nothing 2 do), its quite stressful being back @ sch again. in fact, its only like wk 3 bt im already having 2 play the 'catch-up' game in order 2 keep pace wif the lecturers n my coursemates - hu always seem smarter than me! (why is tat so? or is it tat im juz dumb?) + the fact tat lotz of the peeps i noe r having their exams/goin to hav their exams does add to the stress loh
anw, a big welcome 2 the yr 1s!!! =)

recently hav been 're-connecting' (i noe there's a proper wrd 4 tis bt can't seem to rmber it) wif lost frends n aquaintainces thx 2 fb. its like quite nice lah, aft so looong get 2 look them up n see hw they r doin n all. inevitabily i start tinking of hw much i miss them n the gd times we had... sighhhh

on the SJ front,
hav been going duties abit more frequently than in the 1st half having done NDP'09, rockamaina, nus archery, race against cancer to note sum... but nothing much to say abt them bsides tat i gt 2 meet sum rather nice ppl =). no photos though cos i juz im not really the camwoing (spelling?) kind n oso cos i hav absolutely no talent in photography wadsoever so i dcided not to torture my camera nor my blog reader(s) (assuming there r any readers). mani activites hav been cancelled/ postponed, due to the flu situation, which is abit of a bummer but i guess btr safe than srry rite! anw, it looks like it'll probably b quite a bz 4th quarter - hopefully the kids get 2 benefit frm the activities, @ the veri least, i do hope they get to hav sum fun...

aniwaes, 2 the peeps having they exams/prelims/tests etc,

ALL THE BEST n JIAYOUZ!!! rmber tat if u hav faith in urself n put in the effort, u'll achieve ur best!

to u gals...

to the bunch of gals in the project working i in (hopefully u r reading this),

its true tat i mite nvr understand the pressures tat u're under. bt i'll try my best! much is expected of you bt the real qns is: what do u expect? wad are ur goals? wad do u foresee to be the most ideal, reasonable outcome? wadever u choose, i will b there for ur'll...

if u think there's too much obstcles in the way, we'll work thru them one @ a time. if u tink the differant things in your life is pulling u apart in differant directions, we'll find a way to work thru it... when there's a will, there will b a way. believe that u can!

when ur'll really decide wad u want, and truely believe that u can achieve it - u'll find ur inner strength. wif tat, u'll be able 2 work thru anything wif ur team.

nvr lose the hope, n nvr doubt yourselves! JIAYOUZ!!!

its going to be hard... bt we'll get thru it (part1)

life is a bunch of choices we make, obligations we cr8 for ourselves. we make these choices based on our needs, wants and our assumption of wad is expected of us. it really an experimental process as we nvr know wad is the rite combination - do we juz focus on our needs and bcome cold hearted and somewhat materialistic? or do we focus on our wants n juz be selfish? or juz meet expectations and 4get our dreams and aspirations? nope, its nvr really a clear cut thing.

i guess to be really happy and satisfied, we need to constantly shift our focus from one to the other, adapting to the situation. be there for others when they nid our support and when the time is rite, to be there for ourselves - making sure that our own well of resources, love and passion is topped up every now and than so that is nvr runs dry.

so the next obvious question is: when to shift our focus? my answer: i don't know! as sad as it is, i must admit that i have yet to learn when to shift my focus. neither books nor advice (and even naggings sumtimes) hav enlighten me on this as of yet... BUT... i hav hope! sumday i WILL master the skill and hopefully, i will b able to help other master it too...

till then, it mite be a struggle, it mite be painfully n it definitely b fustrating... bt we'll get thru it. important thing is tat we nvr 4get tat we hav frends n family 2 turn to when we get really lost, n of course, nvr lose the hope...
