CNY

CNY 2006 started by me taking photos and video of fireworks display outside my house. I was amazed by the variety of fireworks that were displayed. Compared to the usual dull ones i saw years back, this was simply magnificent. Greetings my family members wsa next on the list.
In that morning, i changed to my new outfit, all ready to go to my grandma's house to bai-nian.
I was torn between my hip-hop outfit VS my si-wen outfit. Haha.. decided on my hip-hop one eventually. Waited for my aunts to come before embarking to my grandma's place. Tooks some photos of my family there too. In between visiting relatives, me, wendy, mavis and nicholas went out shopping. We went to bowl, eat Swensens and went River Hongpao!

Second day into CNY, we went to another relative house and at night my small aunt's house to play majiong! Hehe... won $1 overall. It was very fun playing majiong with them... once a yr oni...

3rd day into CNY... Me, BY and Xueting went out to eat! B4 meeting them, went Tiong Bahru Plaza to buy Comic..Yup..Went to Swensens to eat (haha.. all of us ate Breaded Chicken).. Then went to River Hongpao! Hehe.. took a lot of photos there! Yea.. So happi...

Ministry of Sound

Saturday 1100 280106
Half day @ AMQ camp on friday 270106 0700. Book in in the morning with QY. It felt totally different booking in on a morning compared to the previous night. I need not worry about going home to pack my stuff as i will have the whole night to pack if i had no time to do so in the evening. Had this Battalion 4km run in the morning. I don't see the point actually.Celebration in camp includes a Liondance performance which flopped miserably. I feel that they are not professional at all, based on their stunts and action. Just imagine after performing halfway, they rotate the liondancers. What kind of professionalism is that. OC CPT Hoon then gave each of us oranges personally! How touching. Chuan Yang gave us ang-pows which contained 2 golden coins.
Went off at 11am.
Met BY at harbourfront at 6.45pm for dinner. Christabel and JY cannot make it.. so sad really. Got the School Rumble VCDs from him. Ate Hans for dinner b4 heading off to Ministry of Sound with another group of frens. Yup.
QY, KS, Lunny, YC and me went to MOS at 9pm+. The queue was so long. Kinda expected cos the next day is CNY eve. Only me and YC went clubbing b4.. the rest were newbies. Haha.. thanks to YC we manage to make out way smoothly and orientate ourselves to the club. The club is huge! haha.. compared to the previous clubs i gone to. We occupied a table to ourselves. As for the drinks, we ordered Fresh Orange Juice, Sprite, Coke, a bottle of Volka (40% alcohol), Tequila shot and Baileys on the rocks. Started off by just sitting down and enjoying the beat of the music. Lunny, KS and QY did not want to dance. But all off them gave their first try. Excellent. QY rise to the occasion admirably. haha... after that we went around exploring the place. In the end, only me, QY and YC dance. Haha.. i went to the elevated platform to dance.. YC and QY joined in after a while. When were dancing, there was this cool smoke and snow like foam which fell from above. So fun! I was dancing madly and enthusiastically. Totally cool. Haha... whole place wsa flooded after 12 midnight. I was quite surprised at the crowd MOS attracts - all the way from students to middle age people in their 30s and 40s. Yup.. was amazed by how some of the clubbers dance. Pro was the word to use. Lunny and KS did not dance despite my attempts to psycho them to do so. Lunny seems to have gained a lot of experience from this. I seriously hopes it helps him in his main purpose of visiting MOS! Went off at 2.30am to Lao Pat Sat for "Breakfast"? Haha... then went to stone outside Raffles MRT station all the way to 6am+. Played bridge durin our spare time there. Ended the day with a group photo (haben uploaded yet) before headin home to sleep and begin my new day! It was really a VERY fun experience gg MOS. Really.

She is still ever happy looking, dedicating her best to wadeva she is doing, making sure that her students understand their work. oso saw Jaime ( on the 2nd floor). I was on the 1st floor... saw the 2 APMs oso marking stage for Huang Chenr Ye Yun. Yep... QY is quite impressed by my school i think.. ya.. He commented that the only thing that is not too good is the entry score. haha.. my exact sentiments...
Went Orchard afterwards.. Far East Long John Silver. We ordered Value Combo 1... Oh my QY spilled his drinks lo... haha.. so funni.. we oso met his fren who is working there... Then we went Kino to look at comics... Met Kuixi ( wif his GF) outside Heeren...

We wanted to discuss about CNY activities but as usual, it failed!
Hehe.. CNY is coming!
My oFF was used well i think. Thanks to all who have contributed to it~

OFF ~ a so so precious word

I on off on thurs! yea... i better take it before it "disappears" again from the world. Actually, i was supposed to book out after the Last Parade, which is normally around 2000hrs. Thanks to my PC, he allowed me to book out after dinner! so i left around 1815! Hehe... B4 bookin out, we have PT with Conducting (Minghan). The aim of the PT was to train the IPPT passes so that they can achieve silver. Yep. Me and Meng Keat are the "Auxillary Instructors" to assist Minghan in his conducting.

ATP ~ Result Show!

Sunday 22/01/2006 (1225)

Finally the ATP is over. This week is a very long and tiring week. I book out of camp at 0100 today. Shared a taxi with KS, YC and Nathan. As for my results, i failed ATP terribly and miserably. Haha... we need to achieve 20/40 for a pass in ATP. My maximum was 15. Poor thing... so ke lian. Only Encik achieve marksman. Haha...

Have flu and fever on Sunday makes my day there very miserable. Imagine during my rundown, i need to stop my flu (using a tissue), cover my left eye using eyepad and load my magazine. Haha.. i feel very confused and giddy and terrible. Thanks to Chuan Yang, Ming Hui ( both sirs) for there concern. At night, i fell out cos my fever came back. The least i could do was to help QY in filling up of the namelist form ( in the control room).

Today need to book in @ 2300. Jia You!

p.s. Happi Birthdae Wenjian!

Rain Rain go away...n... Coastal Hook...n...Escalator

Saturday 140106 1300

This week had been a very wet week. Trust me when i say that it was very wet. Just imagine that the rain lasted for almost 20hours! This continued for the next few days. I was walking along this particular path to go to the bus-stop when i realised that the path is flooded ( to ankle level). It was raining cats and dogs at that time. I had to retreat my steps back to the shelter. By the time i got there, my jeans was half wet. I got to my final destination with 3/4 of my jeans wet!
Another incident happen during book in on Tuesday night. I met QY at Yio Chu Kang MRT and we walked to camp. While we were walking, the drizzle started to increase in intensity. To prevent ourselves from getting wet, i took out my umbrella ( QY did not bring his) which is half spoilt. This umbrella is actually only capable of sheltering 1 person. However, 2 of us were squeezing inside this pathetic spoilt umbrella when the rain "evolved" into a heavy downpour! Initially, both if us were slightly wet. But as we walked on, more and more parts of our body got wet. By the time we reached camp, 90% of our initial dry body was wet. I asked myself: what is the use of the umbrella? We then dried our clothes under the fan for 2 whole days before it got dry before we book out.
On Friday, we had Coastal Hook training. i was sick the day before and had endured my way throughout the exercise. If the weather was rainy ( with lightning i suppose) the training will be cut ( or sort of along that line). When we reach the destination, the warmth of the morning sun greeted us. We need to do Jettison drill ( taking out of rifle, SBO) within 4s. Then came the life jacket test. ( When i first got my life jacket, i was thinking of the demonstration done by the flight attendant on board the plane). We were supposed to inflate our life vest anbd immersed ourselves into the water to test its workability. This made our long-4 totally wet ( literally dripping water). Then came the capsize drill. I was cheated of my feelings! I jumped in the water with my helmet when the others did not. We then continued with our day exercise ( which took a very long time due to repetition of exercise). I felt sea-sick and almost vomitted. Initially i thought i was the only one feeling so but i realise that most of my friends also felt the same way ~ thanks to QY for his medicated oil ~ . We returned to the training shed to rest till night fall before embarking on out night exercise. We stayed at the training shed for 4 hours! I spent most of the time sleeping. Night exercise was carried out at 1900. I felt sea- sick again. my fever had came back and i popped in 2 more panadol. After the exercise, we packed up ~ thanks to MingHan for asking me to help in lighter duties though i did not ultimately took up the job ~ and prepared to head back to camp. By the time we reached camp, send our arms and change to CV attire, it was 2345. All of us ( especially my platoon ) rushed out of camp. Me and Minghan took a ride on KS's father car to Telok Blangah before sitting taxi home from there ~ thanks to KS ~.
I went to buy lunch today at Dawson Place. I was walking down the stationary escalator when it suddenly moved! It was scary as anyone who was not holding on to the handles or caught unaware will tumble down the escalator.
Next week is ATP. My weekend will be burned. Nevertheless, i am eagerly looking forward towards CNY

Chinatown Outin

Totally slack day in camp yesterday in camp. hehe... in the morning, we did a 5+km run with the whole company ( which effecively consist of 5men, 2-3 specs and 2-3 officers)... after that we went up to bunk and played Contract Bridge with Andy. Yup... he already in ORD mood le... Jus waiting for lunch at 12oo. Jiang told us that the booking out time is 1300! Wow.. isn't that half day in camp? hehe... at 1245 however i need to go to S2 branch to submit my safety poster. Yup...

Went to Orchard with KS, Andy and Chuan Yang ~ Andy is my Spec and Chuan Yang is my Sir. Andy lost his phone during one of the outfield.. *sad*... Went to the Hello Singtel Shop to find a new phone for him. Andy went off after that and the rest of us went ot eat Chicken rice at Far East. Nice food! Had a casual talk with my Sir and KS while we were eating. This is a first time i has such very informal talk with him. Yup... still remembered he said "ok, seeya guys" before we went our separate ways.

Met WJ at Hwa Chong (again!). Go there to "see see look look" at my juniors and Huang Cheng. The President (thinks she remembers me) smiled at me. Hm... but i did not smile back i think. Oops. My junior then suddenly shouted "Hey! Yin Xiang de"...haha.. so AA.

Finally, our final destination was Chinatown. Yep.. primarily was to see the lightings and "guang4 ye4 shi4". hehe.. at first we did not feel very festive... quoted by BY" pseudo- New Year" haha... then we went to the night market...finally, we can sense the New Year mood! It is 2300+ and the place is still crowded. Really. Yup...

050106 ~ Special Entry!

This is a brand new year. So far since 070405 which is my date of enlistment, i have entered army for 8 months! 14 more months to serve ~ Jia You Jonathan! Ever since i came into 2SIR as No.1 Operator of the ATGM Platoon, live have been good and bad. Howevr, my focus today would be my specialists who took us through since June 05. Yup.

**Kok Wei. He was the first sergeant that we saw in 2S/R. Still remember what the Oc said to us about him. "He is a very good person. Do not make him cry or else..." Haha true enough, he proved to be a very good spec who seldon ( or should i say never?) get angry with us. Since he was the only spec around at that time, our relationship deepened. Although we often tease him about his hair, we recognise the effort he put in in armskote and in taking us. Inner respect.

~~Albert. Our dearest APS! He is a very cheerful and playful person. He also can be very serious at times. During outfield, he treats his men VERY well. He likes to joke around with us. Haha.. nice knowing him.

**Clive. Wow! I would say my first impression of him was that he was a very fierce spec. First saw him during NDP. Still remembered seeing him squatting at one corner at the MRT station alone. Me, QY, KS ( is that all? forgot...), Kok Wei and him was throwing NDP rubbish. This is where i saw the fun side of him. yup. After knowing him, my impression of him changed dramatically. He is a very nice guy! Really, he is willing to extend help to us when we needed him. [ actually this entry was sparked off by him]. I lost my locker key. Not only he offered his help in finding for me, he also went an additional mile by offering me his extra lock without me asking him. So nice of him. A zilliion thanks to him.

~~Andy. He is my team commander!!! He us a very "timing" person. Punctuality is his word. hehe... our platoon is most early! yup. i would say he is a very nice guy who yakes care of his men. When relax, we relax together. Oh... he is a fan of Da-sao ( Stef Sun).. He is also entering SuperBand... Jia You! yup!

Hmm.. thats about it. Hmm... busy year this year... Jia You...

Went to arcade after that. Played this particular game that requires memory. hmm.. not bad most of my memory space are still available to store the images. Haha. maybe too long did not use my brain le.. lots of free space inside. Haha..
