Recalling back the days i spent in Tekong til now, its been really a true memorable experience for me/us.
I’m sure by the time when we march our 24km road march, and finally to the next day POP, everyone’s eyes will be filled with tears and joy. Thru this field camp(last week), more friendships were bonded, the whole platoon ’s spirit were more strengthened now, the weakers getting stronger and confident. I hope for this to go on, to the day we pass out as a recruit.
Talking about my physical limits, i think i ought to give myself a clap for improving alot, and not missing any military training and physical lessons.
My first IPPT results:
Chin Ups: 10 (4 points)
Sit Ups: 40 (5 points)
Shuttle run: 10.0sec (5 points)
Standing Broad Jump: 218cm (2 points)
2.4km run: 12.38min (1 point - failed)
Overall: 17 points, FAIL.
My second (Recent) IPPT results:
Chin Ups: 15 (5 points)
Sit Ups: 40 (5 points)
Shuttle Run: 10.5 (3 points)
Standing Broad Jump: 221cm (2 points)
2.4km Run: 10.43min (3 points)
Overall: 17 points, PASS
wee. looking at the results, i’m half satisfied with my achievement, especially for chin ups and 2.4km run. major improvement. but then, i really hope i can jump more, like a rabbit, to 225cm for silver. the recent ippt results is only 4cm of SBJ short to Silver man. 
Can anyone teach me how to jump?
In fact, Chinese New Year is not really of a big event to me anymore, its more like another normal public holidays to me.
Did i mention that last year my parents went cruise since Chinese New Year Eve til Chinese New Year Day 2 and left me at home alone?
Sigh. My parents just dun like go visiting/pai nian to my those relatives, dunno why. And the time i get to mingled with my cousins are jsut getting lesser. Hardly met them too. I only know Vincent in Navy, Justin in Police and Ben in Army . LOL. . 3 different forces, and i still remember we used to play Power Rangers in action in the past together, now we are like growing up already.
23rd January, Friday
After book out, dad and mum came and fetch me to Chinatown, wanted to eat some yu-sheng first, but the stalls were closed.
Went home, dead tired, after a half-field camp cum BIC day. Rest for the day til …
24th January, Saturday
Woke up around 2+ i think, too tired to think. in the evening, went out to meet Long, Yz, Eve, Kiat & Ed for steamboat @ Bugis.
Went to Nerd’s house as usual for SMS til morning…
25th January, Sunday, Chinese New Year Eve
Chinese New Year Eve.. The day usually i won’t go out and spend time at home instead, be a filial son ;x
Woke up til noon like that, help out with parents chores, then had steamboat for dinner again.
But the soup is tasy cos’ me and my sis thought for a ingenius way of makign the steamboat soup nicer, putting the leftover prawn ’s heads into the soup , and mixing the abalone ’s leftover sauce in the can into the soup. Yumm yumm..
See, when me and my sister gets to work, even the nastiest soup also can turn tastiest. LOL.
Oh, and that night, after dinner, had a 2hour mahjong session with parents & jeffery. It was bad man. I lost $80 just that 1 and a half round of mahjong. @#$@#$@ .
But as what kiat says, when my luck is not good here, it means my luck is good somewhere else. I do believe in that . Not everyone is forever lucky in everything you do, in life, luck is being balanced every part of your life things you do etc.
After mahjong, around 12.30am+ , went to Sembawang Fortune of God temple to collect ‘luck’ from the Fortune of God by burning a ownself-bring-joss-sticks at that temple and bringing it back home. My parents always practise this tradition, and it really helps i guess. But for me, will i still ever carry down this tradition, i dunno . .. LOL
26th January, Monday, Chinese New Year Day 1
Yeah.. Chinese New Year Day 1… Weee. its great that you wake up to this day to know you are collecting ang bao.. haha.
But before i had my lunch, Jeffery already arrived at our house, due to Mom’s special order to ask him to go to pai nian with our relatives too. It was fun for me and my sis meeting our cousins and relatives after a year’s time, yeah, not that long, 365 days, but still, it’s better to meet at least once a year, to keep in touch and update one another.
And, the worst nightmare came. LOL.
No one expect Jeffery to play that big when we were playing some poker games. My cousins play $1, 2 the most $5, Jeffery play $30. Scary shit. Wendytoh , please control your boyfriend, before the day he becomes a full time gambler LOL.
Went out later in the evening to meet up with Kiat & Eve and catch the movie, Love Matters.
Basically, the movie is just another gigs by Jack Neo’s comedian actors, storyline not that meaningful, thou its about love.
Some hilarious scenes are the Mark Lee playing as a Thailand gigolo, HAHA, that was funny that scene, and the Lai Ming (Money Not enough 2, the mother, remember, ” Have you eaten? “) and the son of Henry Thia singing “The Virgin Bird that never comes back”.
I would rate the movie 4/5, probably cos’ I’m a fan of Jack Neo’s movie.
After movie, had some conflicts with the clique, left, and went to meet with KC and the rest.
Sang Kbox @ Marina Square that midnight. Was damn fun, thou i slept from 3am onwards. haha.
Oh, and midnight there was a challenge posted by the KBox duty manager for that day for all the room, to drink a mug of beer fastest using a straw.
Reached home also around morning 5+, which is usually the time we woke up in army to do our reveile… …
27th January, Tuesday, Chinese New Year Day 2
Simply just sleep my day and dun feel like going anywhere after the last night tiredness.
28th January, Wednesday, Chinese New Year Day 3, Book in day
It just sucks to know that you’re waking up in the early morning to book in, sigh. Woke up, and went to Bugis Guan Yin Temple to pray with my parents; I’ve a handgrenade live throw on Friday, so my parents want me to go do some praying.
After visiting temple and having some heavy breakfast, an hour later, i just find myself back in the familiar ferry again..
Sigh, that’s life for now. Army is boring by now, but no matter what one had to do, always have to face it with a positive attitude, or else, one’s life won’t be happy for this 2 years.
Anyway, that’s how i spent my CNY, how about yours ? (; leave a tag, and tell me how much angbao u get for CNY this year.
