Saturday, May 24, 2008 - A person to remember.... :

Long Time no Post again.... Must really keep myself from not slacking eh.... haha ok this post is a backtrack to army days cause i remember a very impt event in my life that i want to remember. The lost of my Grandma.... I must say I dunno why but a few days before, i had the urge to take off on that day. Strange eh... Then i told my CPT that my grandma is unwell so i wan to take a day off and visit her in hospital (as well as rest cos those few days i have been rushing to hospital and camp so quite tiring.) That day morning when i wake up, i start preparing my self to go hospital to visit grandma so i took my NDS and abit of snacks and was about to leave the house. Then my father called..... He sounded really anxious as the nurse from hospital has called him and say that my grandma's condition is critical... I WAS LIKE WTF? I JUST VISIT HER 1 day ago? She was still toking and everything? He asked me to rush down to hospital and also inform the rest of my family while he rush there from his workplace. My mum was already informed so i called my sis and my bro's sch. Luckily, my uncle was on off that day so he drove us all to hospital to meet my father. When we reached there, my grandma was unconscious and looked very weak. Everyone was so worried sia... Though i was super hungry cos i haven ate anything, i really dun feel like eating cos i was worried if my grandma have to leave... I have to be beside her. Time passed super duper slowly... we were all hoping for the best but i guess she had to leave. We were watching her and suddenly she woke up. Ppl who do not believe in Hui Guang Fan Zhao (the period where a dying man suddenly got better) like me in the past will be a believer. She woked up and looked at all of us there without saying anything. We were all shocked and started calling for the doctor. By the time the doctor rushed to the bed, she has already left... Well things happened very fast ( the doctor tried to resuscitate her) and i was busy crying while consoling my siblings. It was 22nd March 2008 11.35 am. My grandma was 84 years old then. The funeral lasted 3 days and finally her ashes is kept at Guang Ming San. It was a very sad period of time in my life as my grandma was very close to me. Here, I thank her for everything....all the care she has given me since birth and also the concern shown thoughout my 20 years of life. She will always be remembered.....

P.S small note here to thank my idiotic buddy Zi yan in manpower office who had to take care of things in office alone for the few days. =D

After i ORD, went back to APBS but this time i went to Finance department instead of packaging. It is a normal office like any other office and i got a small table and com for myself. Will post the pic up later on. Haha was lucky to be sited beside a chio bu (Now no pics for that =D) and was unlucky cos behind me is the Asistant finance manager and infront of me is the finance manager...... the first place i was introduced to when i step in is the PANTRY! haha my good buddy ^^ Computer is abit erm... ancient machine and I dun even know a single person in there. So starting was quite boring till i get to know the pretty girl (hmm how come i got a feeling someone is holding a knife behind me =X) and the other collegues from other sections! They are super funny and busy.... 2 other girls around 23++ and the rest are all AUNTIES =X. I was given jobs to do every now and then other then my rountine stuff so everything i learned was quite random. Lunch is great and super cheap... $1.50 for rice + 2 meat and 1 veg + 1 soft drink + 1 fruit O.O wonderful welfare and there are specials everynow and then like professional cooks coming to cook super great dishes for only $2.00!!! (They cost at least $8 outside for sure) After work, we still can proceed to the tavern for free flow of any beer and snacks @.@ After 3 months there, i have already known almost everyone and even went to kbox with the aunties! haha Hey who say aunties are boring, wait till you go kbox with them :p Promise to post lots of pictures from my work place to show that uber cool place =D k so now i am up to date already ^^ CHEERS! Have a mug of Tiger =)

Ok.... hmm lets see.... cobwebs here and there... haha well i haven been blogging since 2.5 years ago? I AM BACK! =D Changed my blog background and updated things around here... now to back date 2.5 years of history.... There are 3 parts to it. B4 Army, During and After ORD.

Before army.....

After A levels, I got a job at Asia Pacific Breweries as a techinician . Basically I have to check the quality of the bottles and collect data using a bottle breaker machine! Cool machine i would say as it fills the bottle up with water and add pressure to it till it breaks. I still remember the first time I break a bottle. I was like OMG? Shocked by the loud explosion and the glass shattering here and there. HAd to break like 20 crates of bottle per day, though it is quite tiring but quite a unique job i would say... How many ppl will pay you to destroy stuff? =D Have to thanks a few ppl there who have taught me and guided me along the way, MR Lee, Hisham and Zhi zhuang. 3 months passed very fast sia.... Soon I will be ENLISTED. -.-"

During Army,

Still remember the week b4 going into the scary TEKONG, me, Derrick, En xian and Bing Qiang went to Beach Road to buy alot of army stuff which turned out to be unnecessary afterwards. Haha WASTE MONEY LA! The night b4 i was enlisted, i cant sleep the whole night lol.... was very worried about army life. Next day morning, i carried my bag and went to Pasir Ris with my mum dad and Eileen... When i reach there, saw alot of familiar faces and frens who are going to be enlisted on the same day. Soon the bus came to pick us up to the PENGUIN FERRY! When we reach Tekong, there was a big sign on top, WELCOME TO TEKONG! I was like WTF? ERM? HELLO? Then as we walk further in, another sign.... DO NOT THINK ABOUT THE THINGS YOU LEFT BEHIND, THINK ABOUT THE THINGS YOU ARE GOING TO GAIN IN IN THE FUTURE... haha funny eh? My parents and eileen were guided to the parade square to see some performance and the recruits were led to a room to be informed of our companies. I was posted to ORION Platoon 4 Section 1 Bed 5. There was an oath taking ceromony and then went to have our lunch in the cookhouse together with my parents and Eileen... After that they have to leave and well, BOTAK HEAD TIME. Tekong life was very scary at first, it got better when we got used to it. Events after event passed and time passed slowly. 2 months acutually but it seems like 2 years. Still remember the Route Marches, IPPTs and SOC. Route March were super tiring but it really can train up our perserverance. Another impt milestone is the 7days field camp. It is really my first time to sleep outside of a covered building first time in my life. The long marches, digging of trench and training.... wow how did i even survived it? Book outs were always our motivation and Book ins really kills... After 2 months of training. it was the POP PARADE! haha it really felt like ORD then =D Parade training everyday to show public that we are the best. The night b4 POP is SUPER FUN LOL! We were allowed to stay up late and do crazy stuff since it was our last night ever in Tekong. Still remember while my bunkmates were all packing our stuff, we keep asking everyone their msn, hp number and stuff. To my sectionmates: Although i might forget your names and everything but i wont forget the times we spent in tekong! Thanks to my buddy RONALD, SOON YEE and WEIXIN! (Erm not my jc classmate the female weixin but the male 1... haha :p) After BMT, i was posted to 35 SCE as bridging engineer at seletar camp.. (so far away siol....) K long story short. Went thru the training Common Engineer course, Bridging Pioneer course and passed out as a bridging pioneer. Learning the Boat was the most fun part of the training as it was super cool to drive the boat around in the sea! Comet M2 was not too bad but the maintaining of it kills .... Got posted to HQ armceg after that as a bridging pioneer for a shortwhile and eventually to HQ Amrceg Manpower Office as a clerk due to my health prob. Spent 1 year there and met my office buddy Ziyan. I was really lucky to be able to stay out compared to others in 35 SCE. Have to handle the admin stuff in the unit and the biggest project if that year... NDP 2008 @ MARINA BAY. Day after day and duty after duty. Time still pass as slow but after 9 months, Ziyan and Chris ( Log Branch slacker) have to ORD le.... Leaving me and Bing Hui (ops room slacker) behind. After my understudies come ( Johnathon, Nicholas and Yuan Qing) , it is time for me to ..... ORD LO! LOL have to thank Ziyan,Chris, Bing Hui, Gabriel,Jian wei,Jon, Nich, Bryan,Ji Xiang and Yuan qing for all the help! THANKS!

Whew long post eh, lets take a break and i will continue in the next post eh?
