Hello guys!! I just came back from a very tiring day of canoeing. I'm taking my two-star course, you see. So, its pretty much work, work and work from now on to this coming Saturday.

Its awesome, new friends, reunion of old friends, new skills and more importantly, stronger bonds. We learnt about the nip tides and spring tides, the lateral and vertical movement of tides and currents, risk assessment, expedition planning and also safety procedures. Sounds boring? Bet your ass it is. But heck, its important, so why not just listen to boring lectures? Haha. You probably think I'm crazy.

As for the practical part, we learnt several new stuff. For example, how to paddle more efficiently with our hips, feet and arms. How to eject from the cockpit of the kayak with a spray deck. The Eskimo bow rescue, edging, low support recovery, high support recovery, single-man rescue. On Saturday, we're going to learn several new moves, followed by our assessments and hopefully, all of us getting our hard earned certificates.

As fun as it sounds, there are boring parts, such as rafting up and such. It's also nerve wrenching. Like before we learnt how to do the Eskimo bow rescue, most of us were scared, me included. I'm going to be frank, I was afraid of capsizing and then waiting for my friend to come and rescue me. Now, its just like eating. Nearly natural, all we have to do is practice on our hip flips! Well, nothing much to post about anymore, so peace out!

Hello peeps. I'm back from an awesome family trip to Malaysia. Haha, awesome time with my cousin, parents and of course, me! Finally, a trip to take my mind of all the stressful things in life.

You have no freaking idea how enlightening it was. Anyway, I've been having a little problem lately. There's this sec one girl who likes me, and wants to dump her boyfriend in approximately two weeks time if their relationship doesn't improve. How do I prevent that from happening? I mean, I don't want to be the cause of all her troubles. Or her break up. Honestly, being human, I bask in the fact that people actually like me. But how many out there really do like me so? I don't think many do, but hey, I'll never know right? I have my infatuations myself. Although I am putting effort to push the feelings aside for the sake of my studies. Can't believe I just typed that. Me? Push aside BGRs for studies? Haha. A few years ago, that would be a total WOW factor if I said it.

Shit, not only do I have to handle the sec one girl, but I also have to handle the two whom I find myself attracted to. If you want to know who, find out yourself! I'm evil, so what? Anyway, to one of them: I don't mind if you're frank with me. I don't care if you have fears of relationships or can't trust guys anymore. You can trust me, and I've been in your shoes. But not with guys, obviously!!! I think I shall only like one person. But who shall I choose? The elder, more mature one? Or the girl who is the same age as me?

Hello everybody! Happy Chinese New Year, and an eventful Valentines Day to all you guys out there! Life's a drag, really. Nothing much happens around here, which makes it a little boring.

Pakour is boring now, not as exciting as before. So are sports. I have no idea what's happening to me, but heck do I care. Haha, yeah, its ironic, the guy who once cared about every little detail now cares no less. Well, I'll revert to normal soon, so don't worry eh?

I played soccer yesterday. Sad thing is, we only won ONE match and lost all the REST. Good thing it's not a tournament. Good thing is, I finally impressed my coach with my skill. Let me rephrase that. Meagre skills. Well, nothing much to post about anymore, life is so uneventful eh?

Hello everybody! I just returned from the Singapore Air Show. The $21 that I spent on the ticket did not go to waste! It was kick-ass-awesome, to quote a friend. Excellent stunts performed by the experienced and well trained pilots were the main highlight of the day!

I was amazed that I could identify nearly all the aircraft exhibited at the Air Show. We saw private jets, corporate and executive jets, single engined propeller aircraft for training, military jet fighters, cargo transports, unmanned recon drones, helicopters and private helicopters. You can say that it was an aircraft enthusiast's dream! Since I knew so much about planes, Melody, Claudia and Christina chose me to be the 'tour guide'. What a joke man! I probably bored them with all the specifics of each model planes, and their uses. At least they were kind enough not to show it.

Oh, my camera ran out of battery and I wan't able to take photos. But Claudia had her camera and she did an incredible job as a photographer! I'll upload some picture from Facebook when Claudia has posted the pictures she took. Well, that's all for now! Bye!

Hello peoples. Life has been hard on me, but pleasant. How about you guys? Awesome? Or just horrible? Anyway, my new computer rocks. Its fast, and its great!

Training today was horrible. Sighs, and I thought being an NCO would mean less work. instead, I got more! On the bright side, we were able to get something done. Oh, I received my LCP rank just now. Sad. I'm supposed to be happy right? Well, now I have o return the CPL rank. Bleh.

School is slow. I can cope with the lessons, but not the amount of homework they give us! And I'm surprised that I can actually sit and study now! in the words of a great friend; I was aghast that I can sit and study instead of rotting away waiting for tomorrow to be done. I guess being a year away from the O's are not that bad. it surely gets one up and kicking to realise that the need to start studying.

I can't believe that I fought with a friend of mine over a girl. A hot one, mind you. Still, I didn't know that he liked her as much as to sms me and tell me to buzz off. Sorry lad, you ain't going to get her that fast. You are gonna have to prove yourself first. Haha. What do you expect? Life's hard ;)

Well, I don't know but I think that someone is trying to distance herself from me. Ah, I hope I'm wrong this time. being right most of the time is horrible in these situations. PEACE out.

Hello hello! I know I've not been posting lately, but finally, and really finally, I'm getting a new computer!! All I have to do is pick it up tonight at the store!! Its an awesome machine, with 3.2 gHz speed, 750 RAM and 2G memory. Awesome eh?

Anyway, I miss all of you lovely people! Unfortunately, I've been posted to some very busy jobs in the exco. Besides, i promised to post every fortnight or so. i guess I can do it now with my soon to be new computer! Haha! Right, back to topic. NCDCC! i've been assigned to deputy camp commandant for the NCDCC March Camp '10! Now, my honorary camp commandant is LCP Caroline Tay.

Deputy camp commandant sounds very awesome aye? Not! Well, not that bad anyway. All I have to do is overlook the cadets, pump them is necessary, and sentry duty. Guess what? NPCC is doing their camp during the same time as us! So that means that we can do sentry duty, alarm call and morning PT together! Even so, I'm not sure if any of our cadets (NCDCC & NPCC) are keen on that. Come on, whats wrong with NCDCC and NPCC working together? We're from the same damn HQ anyway. So, why is there a rivalry?

Oh, Elaine, I think that pixelune.blogspot.com is better then the rest! Continue being awesome sis!
