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!
