Yep.. today is sunday.. Another sian day. Doing nothing except sleeping. Haha.. went to record atc song wif ridzwan. met kelvin’s cycling grp, wildcats. Then return home after that. So sian hor. Liddat also want to update.
Ahh.. recently my right hand is in pain. i have no idea why. maybe i shouldn;t have held icecubes…
Woke at 0530 hrs today, after 3.5 hrs of sleep. Got ready into my mufti and went down to bedok interchange and waited for sheikh, then kelvin in the taxi to go to tracom. Change full u, brought the cadets to the gym, then relax.
That’s where all the things began to happen. Cadets leaving in hordes to go to toilet, being lectured for bending our peaked caps, pretending to be busy, arrival of VVIP + CP, direct the cadets to their seats, bring them down for photo taking.. Stuck in the rain at the gym. Got the cadets bags transferred to gym, get them changed and got the hell out of tracom, back to conference room for debrief. Went to play pool, makan and then slack at void deck with 2 marsiling Ws, yun hui n jing jing. Then it was back home. bathe, sit in front of computer update blog. Haven undo my uniform.
Yeah, think i end here.. just a brief summary of what happened today. Tomorrow there is a trip to ubin for recee for ATC.. i wonder if i shoud go, after all zaid can’t make it. Should i take his place? or follow wad ridzwan n kelvin had said, to not go as it would be a total waste of time? Time will tell..
Time now is 0340 hrs. JUst going to spend a quick moment or so to update my blog.
Pretty tied down with FNDB Assignment. After that will be PRSP. Of course, not forgetting the 2 CMATHS class test that consist of 15% each and the CMSK Conversations that are marked. I’m going to sleep for 4 hrs and wake up at 0730 hrs to go to school. Pretty normal routine by now ba.
Just finished doing FNDB Assignment, combining all 4 of my group’s databases into one excel file. Then after a quick show and tell to them, it would be programming time. Haha. Anyway, Zen (INTSC Chairperson) just sent me an email to inform me that i made it into the sub-committee. Alvin and Elson who were online at that time also talked to me to tell me that they had received the email too. Looks like those who went today are accepted? Hopefully.
Still have to write out the report and table finer points. Sleepy.
Dry shoot was 2 days ago. Shooting Comp was yesterday. I wonder how the participants from our unit faired. Anyone care to tell me?
I am falling sick already. This packed lifestyle will take its toll on me. I hope that i can last until after the SPF ceremony. Hopefully.
Today is National Heritage Trail (NHT) 05. Won’t deny it was a tiring but fun experience. Finally, i woke up at 0545 today and by 6am, i was ready to make my way to Suntec City to report at 0645. Kinda reminds me of the secondary school days. Where i had to leave my house around the same time to go to school.
Bus 36 brought me to my destination.. Then waited for the other cluster ICs. When they came, got my NHT shirt and changed into it. After a quick briefing, we were all ready to go. And go we did. From the start of the NHT to 1030 hrs, the 9 cluster ics walked from station to station, asking the station master if everything was okay. Well, everything was generally okay. However, there was once a station master used crude language when he was very blur on what was going on. This is most probably because maybe they are like that and since they are not wearing any uniform or identity, they are not afraid or obliged to comply with the rules. Oh well.. what to do..
Also, the participants attitude were not what i would expect. They wore an expression of a pissed off and sian-ed expression through out the race. I mean, they paid a bit of money to enter this race, whether they like it or not, they are in it already, so why not make the full use of the time there and enjoy themselves. At least have a neutral expression. Haiz. I cannot understand why some people take such large-scale events lightly. They don’t see the amount of planning, the effort put in by the coordinators and appreciate the fact that they are in the event. It is a one time thing. I mean there won’t be a NHT 05 next year. Neither the year after that. Each year is different. I am fine if they complain about the heat, the boredom or what, but to wear that kind of expression on their face as if it will change anything. Something is very wrong with attitude and mindset wise.
After the whole trail, there were performances by various groups inclusive of a precision drill team sent in by dunman sec. Cadets whose ranks range from LCP to SI could perform in synchronized actions to flip, throw and catch rifles. However, i missed that as there was a group who was lost and the cluster ICs had to bring them back. No comment whatsoever. Its just part of our job to bring the lost people back. Haha..
Anyway, after the NHT, i met up with the area 9 people (3 others) and we ate the refreshments and then took a mrt home. When we reached home, we KO’ed. No surprise. Now just woken up and here i am. Hahha.. blogging away, when i should be doing other things.
I have just been informed. Dry shoot on 26 July (tues) at 1600hrs.
Ookay.. good thing.. i can make it. I wonder when my unit can be like
the dunman sec. Striving hard to make that dream come true :D.
Pray hard that it comes true.
Mindset and attitude.
Today is wednesday. Just handed in Alice project. Today feeling sleepy plus down. Must be effects from yesterday. Anyway, looking forward to ATC next month and the shooting competition too!
Looks like i can no longer go down for parade in unit as my school does not allow me to. Just hope that everything goes alright.
One more lesson then i pass my 2 star kayaking. Woot.. can’t wait.. then for powerboat.. ahhaa.. if i have the time and money. Then sports climbing as ridzwan has suggested.
I don’t know what’s bugging me these few days. Hell, i can’t even type properly. Is it my unit or school? or the people around me or is it because of me? i dunno.. feeling weird these few days.. Feeling very unlike myself. I think i need a break.. hmmz.. if only i got time..
The next area atc meeting i can’t attend cause of National Heritage Trail. Then there will also be the SPF ceremony..
Plenty of events, plenty of projects and plenty of things to do. I shall just try to stay alive shall i? xq once asked me, how long does it take to update ur blog. I said 10 mins. Next question was how often u update it? almost everyday (at the beginning). So imagine within a month. How much time i have spent updating this blog? hahah.. i am not saying that its a bad thing, but i don’t think i really have the time hence it explains my staggered updating. Wad to do.. still got so many things to handle..
yuppy.. i think i go back to reality.. haha..
Nope, alice is not a ger. I mean, there are girls called alice, but the alice that i am refering to is not a girl. Its a programme that we use for our programing (no pun intended) as a stepping stone to Java. Basically, it is a very easy to use programme. But sometimes when it takes up too much RAM that cause the computer to hang or worse, delete ur files (!) then it gets irritating.
Anyway, this is my second world that i created for my assignment using alice. No big surprise that such a big guy like me can create a animation that looks directly from a 2 year old colouring book. Pretty lame. (just like me) 
Self praise is international disgrace.
Anyway, time now is 0111 hrs. I seem to update my blog in the middle of the night. Tomorrow if i can wake up, going to meet kelvin, we go do PT.. Need to workout liao.. a bit unfit.. Pray that i can wake up.
I finally found my thumbdrive under all the papers that have been stacked up after so many events. ATC is coming up and we all still are not even prepared. all the talk of attending other atcs so that we can plan ahead. I won’t deny that all the proposal are done. Now just the planning, allocation of manpower, collection of nominal rolls, distruibution of cadets to their groups. And then execution. All that in 6 weeks. easy? think again! all of us instructors have school commitments. Can’t even spare time to go down to our units, and they want us to plan ATCs? they should open up full time job as a CI. i am sure that many people won’t mind working as that.
cH just told me that another SAF guy just died. Was it yesteday? the day before? doesn’t matter. So many deaths. He says that its so common. diao’
I should visit the recycle bin soon. Papers are piling up all over my room. THink one day i am going to wake up and find my self drowned in papers. My booties are still drying after 4 days.
My booties are still drying after 4 days.. ahha.. to lazy to take them in. Also dread the next kayaking. Sea sick or lack of rest that made me feel dizzy? i am afraid that i halfway feel too dizzy to continue my expedition. then i fail my 2 star. Dammit. *prays hard that i don’t get dizzy on my second star 2 kayaking day.
My handphone is giving me problems. The keys are not working, the sound is wayy off.. the tempo of my ring tones are like 1000 times the original one. And of course the paint work is peeling. No surprise. Anything under my handling seems to reach their expiry date very quickly.
i look at my bed behind me and curse.. i should have packed up all my stuff before i left house for dinner today. Now no mood to clear up. Maybe i just leave it lying on my bed while i sleep? nah..
i think i talk too much each day ba. More of complain too much each day. Nevermind. Don’t read this if you don’t want to know my problems. After all, my problems should not be made your problems, unless you are problemless and want to steal some of my problems away from me.
time now is 0101 hrs. I have to wake up in 5 hrs time. What a great thing to look forward to. Dotz. feeling sleepy. Listening to Skywriting from last exile. Sleepy song too. hahah.. everything is sleepy today. *yawnz*
Today went for a NHT meeting. Did some arts and craft. Then caught up with Kelvin n Ridzwan n we meet Xiang Ting for dinner. Talked cock. noticed that my shoe is broken. I praying tmr that i have enough time to go n buy new shoes at the mall near immigration. Hmmz.. oso a water bottle.
I wonder why i keep on feeling dizzy (sea sick?) on last sunday kayaking. The other ppl who followed me felt slightly, but not to my extent. I could not even think straight on the water. But on land, after drinking water n getting my feet on the grnd, felt better. Enough to run with 2 kayaks with Zul. *wonders darkly*
My ambition is to aquire a lot fo qualifications such as ATF, kayaking, first aid etc then i can render my services to different areas or external camps etc. Hopefully i can get it done. When school reopens i am goign to apply for NYAA Gold. Its time to start on that project. Boon hui oso signed up(surprise) but have not started. LOL.
Just applied deferment online. Slightly confusing system. Was worried that i make a mistake too. Anyway, its now done and over with. Deferment granted. This week is really action packed. Only free day is thursday. Which is tomorrow. Considering now is already wednesday. I wonder how kel n wan can be so active n know so many ppl. Oh well. Wonders never cease.
School makes me unable to go back to unit. So sian. ATC is coming. Wonder if there is enough time to teach Orienteering and pioneering. And of course other skills that the sec 2 n 3s will require in ATC.
Ragon. MY blog name. I suppose that is simple as that, for those ppl who are wondering what the hell does Ragon stand for.
My mind does not work really well at night. Oh hell, it doesn’t even work at night. Now just blindly typing. NOtice that i am talking of unrelated things. Hahah.
Arugh. PRSP project due. And i haven start. Gotta start on thurs ba. My stupid animation could not work. die liao. I wonder if there is enough time to get it done. I see my classmate’s MSN nicks. They all seem to have problems with alice. And i still can sit around and enjoy my life. Arugh.. better start on PRSP. and FNDB too. So many datelines to meet. Hahha.. ops so late liao. I think i got (-_-)zzZZ liao. I will blog again if i am still alive on thurs.. or maybe friday. or sat? or …
Sitting in front of my computer now after a long stretch of activities including ATC and kayaking. It reminds me that life has a lot of interesting things to do. But there is always not enough time and restrictions.
My mind is still swaying from the kayaking. Choppy waters and lack of sleep cause me to be casualty for twice in the whole kayaking. Damn.. I still feel dizzy now.. omg.. i think i go rest.. all i can say is that this weekends was eventful, but not quite a happy one.
Nitez
Ah… time now is 0317 hrs.. its in the middle of the morning. What am i doing? answer is: i am packing my bag for camp.. Everyone’s asleep.. so peaceful. Listening to Inuyasha Theme Song Collection ablum. Hmmz.. maybe i should get a bigger capacity mp3 player so that i can store more songs.
Ops.. i just heard a switch being turned on in the hallway. I look at the entrance to my room, expecting someone to appear and reprimind me for not sleeping early. But there is no one. I heard plastic moving in the kitchen. Someone throwing rubbish? or just the common lizard. Hmmz.. Freaky..
Going for haircut, unit parade, area 1 atc, 1 out of 3 2 star kayaking course. Must remember to bring booties, firstaid kit (must buy supplies tomorrow) and waterbottle? Hmmz. hope there isn’t another water shortage in ubin like area 12 atc. So many things to do so little time. As usual. My friends are amazed. THey wonder why i am willing to spend so much time for npcc. I myself do not know why to. What am i serving for? when all i get it attitude from top and bottom. Like this might as well not serve. THen i will most probably be sleeping now, thinking of where to go out tomorrow or what to do.
THe possibilities are limitless. To quote irvine from ff8- The limited possibilities i faced, the choices i made have brought me this far. And i hope that my determination will kick in and continue carrying me.
Somehow i believe that one should have a purpose in life so that we can live it more efficiently. Imagine everyday waking up in the morning, thinking, "i’m one step closer to my goal." Then there is the motivation, the drive and the willingness to get up, to do things and so on. I think i lack the purpose. There is nothing or noone that is my purpose right now. I am just living day by day.
Anyway, something for rejoice - term test are finally over. Although my friend did not attend for all (heard he got reservist) but still it was a rather small step in completing my 3 yrs in TP. hahah..
Just hope i survive. I think i don’t type already. Packing bag can be torturing. haha
Okay.. How long ago since i last blogged? Must be a long time. Cause i don’t remember logging into friendster recently.. Anyway, it has always been the same so far. Studying, trying to relax after a long day of school. Staring at my computer screen. Wonder why i took IT? makes me hate computers.. hahaha.. i must have been staring at screens for too long now..
Anyway, this friday is Area 1 ATC. I’m a group CI. I wonder how the cadets and instructors are in that area. Hope nothing goes wrong. Still want to live out my CI-ship. Ops.. new email just came to inbox.. Training Schedule for this friday. Interesting.
Recently there are many people missing. I wonder what have happened to them. MIA.. Or is it a trend to go missing nowadays?
FNDB term test tomorrow. PRSP was yesterday. CMATHS and CARC on thurs. Life’s like that. After a while it becomes a motion. There is no objective, no goal, nothing to look forward to and nothing to take back. (my msn nick for now)
I think that things are really going a bit haywired. Wonder what is going on. Being on ground zero means everything if you want to understand the whole situation. To go beyond the call of duty. Power struggle. That is what is happening. Matured people wanting to act like small kids. Word for word, description for description. I mean, can’t we work it out somehow? Is there a need to be at each other throats all the time? Dunno what those buggers want. Missing items, flying emails, instructions not followed. All part and parcel of life huh.
Just got back from some cycling. Must get into shape. Studying at TP has a negative point. Too many breaks. Every break makan. No wonder. Must control. I also regretted not studying slightly in advanced. Maybe i should start next term. Study a bit everyday. Even if its something that i have already done, at least it keeps my thinking busy. Instead of trying to do drifts on Midtown Madness 2 and Thrill Drive 2. Hahaha.
Rival Schools Project Justice is malfunctioning. Keys missing and jammed. Too baf. Fingers itching. Akira’s waiting.
Area9 Family? Handphone in pouch? Fish and Chips? War Of the Worlds (WOW)? This is just another day that i sometimes wish i can sleep right through. If you are reading this, just post some comments ok? its getting slightly boring out here. I don’t even know if people are reading or i am just typing to myself. So drop me a comment yeah? tell me that i am insane.
