A new life, a new beginning

Time to update a bit on my life lol...
NS life has been okay so far. I get to go home everyday haha, working hours 0800 to 1730. Work hasn't really start yet, still undergoing lessons. So far everything seems interesting enough. You know, I may start to like admin work after all haha ;) We will see how things go from here. There's still 1 year and 9 months to go. I hope to get my No. 3 soon, wearing smart 4 is quite troublesome at times.

Went back to NJ last week to look for my CT. I needed her help in my appraisal forms for my scholarships, really thankful that she agreed to help me do it, because it was very last-minute. I met the cai fan uncle while I was there and we had a little chat. He asked about my results and what I wanted to study next time. So I told him that I applied for both universities. Then he asked him why I wanted to apply for both uni. I told him I wanted to increase my chances of getting in. Then he told me something that started my train of thoughts. "It's because of you such people that make those people with poor results suffer. They have to wait for you to decide which uni to go to already then they get the chance to go into the uni."

Come to think of it, he's quite true in some sense. Why apply for so many universities when you know you can surely get into one course. Many would say to leave a back door for themselves. But think of it this way, there are others out there with results so much more lousier than yours and they are all hoping to get into the courses they desire. I have friends who didn't do as well but they still bear the hope of getting into uni. They should be given the hope right? I guess it's the common mindset of people to apply to as many uni as possible. Even I think so this way. What can we do then? This made me realize another thing. Maybe I shouldn't have put mechanical engineering for my first choice for nus. I should have put dentistry instead. It's worth a try but too bad I have already submitted my application and I wrote mechanical engineering on the scholarship application, so I guess, it's too late now.

Time to add photos now, haven't added images on my blog before haha, it's worth a try.

Promised someone I will blog more, so here I am. Hehe.
Finally passed out from BMT on Tuesday, no more Tekong unless I am really that unlucky to be posted back there.
This 7 weeks was really damn fun. I made a lot of great friends and learnt a lot of new things as well. From the first day we came in to the last day we passed out together, we had gotten to know each other better. I can recall the sharing of oreos, arm wrestling matches, bingo-ing during lectures, playing zhong ji mi ma to decide who is to bring in food next time, eating cup noodles, playing chinese chess (I mean the real thing) , playing connect five (we always let each other until we draw lol) , the rush to clean up the room before every standby area, practicing stripping and assembling our rifles and trying to beat each other's timing, polishing our bookout boots together, partying in section 4 the night before POC, playing corridor soccer with improvised ball and goalbox, acting out our super hilarious skit, listening to larry's remarks and singing, pohmeng's loudhailer, mojo's chong imitation, zijia's singing of jay chou songs, ah pui's kboxing in the toilet, howai's double middle finger cross, jer kwei's single eyebrow twitch and his sudden burst of anger, janvin's early sleeping habits and his ipod shuffle, shahrul and azmi's jokes and singing, section 1's attend c record, taurus 4's platoon 5, becoming combat clerks,
doing sai gang together, kana half left down together, and last of all, passing out together.
These might not be all the things that we have done together but they are memories embedded deep in my mind. All I can say is that I have had an enjoyable time with you guys through this 7 weeks. It was great getting to know you all and who knows, you all might be my best memories in 2 years of NS. Thanks and all the best to everyone, hope you get your desired posting, and see you soon.

A huge paragraph off my heart now, taurus 4 meeting tomorrow haha, time to enjoy...
That's all for now, hellmos signing off...
