Training fit for more hunts

I have been enlisted into the Police Academy on 14th december 2004. So, i will only be able to update my blog every week. It is the Physical Training Programme (PTP). I'm in SC OCT Squad 54, 118th intake. Frankly speaking, i do not know what to type here. I went to church just now, and there will be a camp starting tuesday. i was initially part of the planning team, but because of the enlistment, i could not take part in much of the process. Let God lead us, and let God lead Student Fellowship.

Prom(ising) Night

This was the last few major event before i enlist into the Police Force National Service. I enjoy the time spent with my friends during the prom night, after the prom night, and in the morning after!!

Rotting meat found on parts from the hunt

You might understand what i mean by this jpeg file below.



I thought i could take some time off busy scheduel after the all tiresome Advanced level examinations. Then comes this. I have to suffer some more, even after the examinations. The hunt was supposed to be rewarding, but instead, this one was not very tasty after all. i have to say that although i have not trained very hard for this test, but the taste of experiencing this is not every good either.

Rich man's illness.

Do you know that diabetes is A.K.A the "rich man's disease"? Why is this so. In the past, when new immigrants toiled and slogged hard in order to survive. Sometimes, some of them make the better of their abilities and got well off. Eventually, they would realised that they can now afford luxurious clothes, house, car and food. Good meat and nice deserts will be their meals. In time to come, actually very soon, diabetes will strike.

Devil in disguise.

After exams; after toiling and slogging hard for the Advanced levels examination, it was the time that our efferts paid off. We took the examinations and all of us breath our sigh of relief. Soon after, comes the break. What shall we do? what is there to be done? Am i still able to do it after such a long time, because i spent all my time studying?

Devil in dusguise

Sometimes too good a deal sounds good when one is longing for it. Like in my case: the break after examinations. But now i am spending my time quite aimlessly. I got not enough sleep in the night because the day is not productive; it does not make me exhausted. Come next day, i woke up, lertargic, because i got interupted sleep. Then i cannot spend the daytime properly or do the thing that i longed to do but is strenuous because i have got no adequate rest. I am then tired but not fatigue enough. So the cycle repeats itself.

The first hunt might have satisfy man initially, but man is, after all, greedy.

Tribal Dance

Hunt.. CLEAR! We made our kill!! Finally, we ended the A Levels. It does call for a celebration. Me and my clique had a lot of plans. Like extend our passport validity, going to M'sia for a 1day trip, most importantly, training for our IPPT, or NAPTFA. this is important, because i want to avoid the 6weeks PTP. Then i can spend more time with my family and friends. Most probaly i will help to give Student Fellowship's notice board a makeover.

Straight away after my last paper 25th Novenber, which was Biology Paper 1, Multiple Choice Questions Paper, i went home straight to wait. I waited for Russell and Dean. Russell went for his regular gymnasium workout; he is working hard (after A levels) to shape up and tone up for his modelling job. Dean was still at home, idling, waiting, too, but, for his last paper to commence: Physics Paper 5 Design Paper. Wait lasted for about 5 hours. I went to DaDa Hair Studio, to our all time favourite professional hair stylist, Steven, right Russell, right Dean? I went there at 3pm. Had a slight colouring, streaks added. Then the couple arrived when my hair was being washed. Russell got a cut and a lot of advices on hairstyling techniques to get a natural look. Dean got a hilight and a lot of chit-chatsss. I got a cut too. Sorry Dawn, we were late because we are vain, actually we just wanted to look good, just to meet such a nice, prettty, cute, dear lady, A.K.A. you.

My sisiter also went to the movie with us, because i told her we will be watching <>. Sorry again, Dawn, i made you buy the tickets. And, Aloysius, where are you after A levels, not coming with us to watch movie? Mugging again? Mugging game manuals? I bet so. He bought his second television-video-game console, the XboX the evening straight after his Physics Paper5. In the end, we, which included Ann Ann(my sister) , Daniel Loke, Dawn Low, Dean Wee, Russell Wang and myself, watched <> because tickets for <> was sold out. I think one must very objective and not expect anything much from this production to actually enjoy it. I knew not a lot of people liked that show. It some sort or rather looked like the typical Christmas Show. I must compliment on the superb cinematography, and excellent computer generated graphics.

The time after the show was quite interesting. Some very hilarious things happened while Dean, Russell and me was queueing for our food. Hope we would have the again, make it a double, with extra ingredients the next time, haha! All along Dawn could catch up with our senseless conversations, but refuses to comment, she actually tried to ignore us. Only my sister play along wiht us, and carry on some senseless talk with us. All lost is Daniel. 20, 25, 30 ,35 does not refer to vital statistics of a lady. Dawn, you must be more observant. The rose only caught my eye while we were walking along the corridor of Le Meridien Hotel. Yes, just there, right after Daniel bought his drink. Hope you like it, because i did not tell Dean whcih colour to get. Sorry one more, that i shocked with the flower. You looked cute when you are in awe. Oh, you looked good without tying your hair. If you want some real good hair styling services, i can give you a recommendation.

Today is 26th November i went to extend the validity of my passport at Tampines SAFRA with Aloysius and Dean. My handphone's battery went dead. Fortunately, i miraculously met Russell, and sucessfully met up with both Aloysius and Dean, with the help of Russell's phone. The three of us went to Changi Airport to send Aloysius's father off, and had each a cup of Coffee Bean's ice blended coffee. We went to the staff canteen and had a chat about our families, their work, and our future.

Next destination: Singapore Expo. The fair there was quite the same as other computer fairs. The usual good deals everywhere, leaflets everywhere and all stranger high-tech gadgets everywhere. It is all the same every year because there are always new things every year. Irony. At the end of the day, i almost took the right bus from the wrong side, all thanks to Aloysius and Dean. But being the usual cautious me, i asked the bus captain which direction the bus was heading. But i did gave Aloysius the wrong impression that i wanted to travel in that supposedly wrong direction.

Tribal Dance will not last forever. Once the food finished, or even it finishes, we have got to start hunting again. We must start to plan on strategies to successfully take down the next hunt. National Service and University. Life is a cycle. That why it was and still is known as a life cycle.

Interval...

Hmmmm... it's has been quite a while. Hi, eternity ev(e)n Before Christ, it's me again, typing into you. The hunting season has begun, it is time to get serious. And I can conclude that man, in nature are very easily affected by his environment and the people around. Still, quite a few of my friends are still in a very "relaxed mode", somehow or rather, no matter how determined i am initially, i will slacken at the end of the day. Althouh i did qutite a substantial amount of work, i felt that i could actually do more. Then there are friends who are quite negative, also like the J1s, the whole examination is not over yet, he has already gone to look for althernatives, suce as ,other schools: MIDS, SIM etc. , right, Physius? At the very end, the accumulated effect is quite great, just liek the EPSP's spatial and temporial summation (biological terms), I am being affected to quite a large extent.

I have been praying to God about man, about us. Telling him about Student Fellowship, Montfort school, Meridain Junior College and my Family. These are the places where i can associate my life with. SF should be growing, i hope to see that, WE hope to see that, don't we? Long time no see Montfort friends, we are all going to serve the country soon, so see you peeps soon. Then for MJC, there are a lot of people that I have told him about. Like My "few cliques", the J1 friends, and Dawn. Sigh. Later i might be praying to God, asking Him for a sign.

Okay! Freedom is 14 days away. Fight on okay guys? Especially those free&relac&easy freinds and the negetive friend/s. (",)

Prowling; getting nearer to the prey. Risk.

I had my biology and chemistry practical examination on 18th and 28th respectively. Biology looks easy, because i was quite relaxed while doing the test. I had a neutral feeling about Chemistry practical, beacuse i neither felt bad nor good. Irony.

Next on the menu is General Papers. I tried to download some other college's papers from IVLE this morning, but i cannot even load the IVLE page. Wow, how about that? My schedule for today is to do 1 full GP paper (p1+p2) then maybe attempt some chemistry ten year series questions.

Risk. Time. It is like economics, opportunity cost: you spent some time here, u cannot spend it somewhere else. Eg. you spent time studying, you cannot spend that time on friends (or doing blog). But sometimes, when some friend is going away, like for 3 years? Then is it correct to sacrifice some of my study time to maybe like at least give her a call, or go out with her. Some of you out there might know who i am talking about, and why i bothered to type out this paragraph; i bothered to write about her. It is very hard to respond to someone who does not reciprocate much. Some friends ask me to give up, some ask me to just go for her. Haha, dilemma. So, i just keep things as it was, because there is no time for me to change, and no time to adapt to these new changes.

Power Saving Mode; sharpening weapons. Observations made

In the few days to come.. i might be a bit colder (not in the sense of lameness, oh PLEASE!! i expect my peers to be more interlectual), i might be ignoring people here and there. A pre-warning. The usual quietness before a raging storm. So, friends, u know me, support me. Thanks a lot peeps. I will be channeling most of my time in doing revision, as in my first entry, i will promise myself to do the upmost best. AGE QUOD AGIS.

OBSERVATIONS made: MJC year 1 students are in a panic state. To a hunter, a predator, of course it will make the best moment to launch an attack, to get a prey in such chaotic situation. But since we all are in the same profession, i guess it's only ethical to share the J2's personal experiences with them, so that they will get to survive. It is like, (in a lion's point of view) , one sees other pride's young lions, struggling to make their first hunts, but failed their first time, the seniors will try to help for this once, then they are on their own. For a predator from another pride, one will want to eliminate competition, but i cannot bear to see them trying out so many unorthodox methods, some are almost hilarious. So, i'll rather see them survive than get rid of them.

They are really very negative about their results. Some even started searching for alternatives before the results are out. Too pessimistic. I think they should wait a while longer, JUST for the correct moment, the moment. JUST. Can't they think like the 3 little pigs: after the 2nd house, will they think that their 3rd brother's house is also as weak? NO! They are very positive that they have someone who is in control. AND they went there. Arn't they safe, well, till now? We still hear about them nowadays, right? I say this because, the one in control (aka the one with the blue BMW) always comes up with something very promising after 1 or 2 rumours going around. (rumours are weak, promise are strong). AND it is just like a fairy tale, the promise always happens, till now.

Survival test in the wildeness; Spring & Pounce at the right time

When one has got a high goal, he will need to conserve energy and then strike at the correct moment. Just like a spring; when it is compressed to a shorter length, it then can spring out and reach a much higher height when released. Predators do that while hunting. eg. tigers, lions...... Predators... So we, as A's takers, must strategise, and paln our time wisely, use our energy on the correct activities.

That is the reason why i have not been adding entries for so many days.
And i might not be doing so in the near future.

7th October was my birthday. I've received gifts from Dean, Daniel and [AloysiusH+hailing+Andy+Amanda]. Thanks people. Then i had lunch with my pop at sakae bishan. We had a nice chat and discussed about my famil's future.

15th October was MJC farewell ceremony; JC2s last official day in college. I took lots of photographs. Wow, they are GREAT pictures man. Here are some.









Aloysius, the picture with both of us is in your CFcard. So i cannot put it up.

Today, i received my enlistment letter. Gues what? My reporting date is 14th dec beacuse of PTP, and i'm enlisted in to the Police Force. I'm not keen in joining the Police Force, because i was from NCC. Well just hope that i can accept the challenges ahead.



Romans 10:15 "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

Found a big tool

Actually it's not today that i found it. It was Sunday, when i was in church. Huang MuShi was the speaker then. He spoke to us about doing GOD's work, he taught us that if we do anything with the intention to glorify GOD's name, then we would be more motivated because the whole thing would mean more to us (or to me) as christians. He used passages from John 17, and i think that John17:4 is the most relevant and meaningful, it says,"i have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do", and also 17:18 which says,"as you sent me into the world, i have sent them into the world". Cool isn't it? We are studying because it is GOD's work.

I think i have accomplish the most today out of the 3 days since monday because i've done biology 2003nov MCQ, went through VJC math paper, went for GP consultation and done GP mock.

Found a small tool

Hey, i found this useful piece of information during one of my free period in school while surfing the web!
http://davidmlane.com/hyperstat/z_table.html
It is actually the normal distribution table, juz enter the values and it will give you the z-value, or the %significance, or the area.

Weekends are different from weekdays, i cannot really follow my plans. i did not do much revision today. The day seems very sloopy, it gave me a very letargic feel since the morning. It might be an excuse, or for real, but whatever the reason, there is a need to revise my plans. Maybe i will have a special plan for the weekends.

Hunting without equipments

Actually hunting without your tools can be quite fun, except the fun belongs to the prey instead, watching the pathetic you, trying all sorts of stupid ways to tackle it... Now, giving your best shot will actually sounds like giving your best shit; giving it any shot, hopefully we can hit it with that cranky shot.

Often students are like doctors. They walk into operating theatres; we walk into examination halls. Sometimes they walk out shaking their heads, we too walking out, shaking our heads; and they say," sorry, i've done my best, nothing could be done, it's too late". We also say," sorry, i've done my best, nothing could be done, it's too late". Both times, parents will come screaming, but both with different reasons.

My plan, now, more concretely, i should say: In one day, only allow myself 3 hours of play, 8 hours of sleep, at least 5 hours of work without the 2 hours of break in between. The rest of the time are lee ways, to make things end, something like wasted time... actually we cannot survive without this last portion of time. For emergencies, sometimes.

By the way, HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY!!

Haunted when being Hunted

Not long after i got back home. short day, but seems like i've wasted quite some time getting home.

WOW, i was impacted by my prelim results... never expected it to be so bad. hiaz... i thought i can @ least perform in Biology.

Now what i felt is that i am being haunted by the afer effects of the preliminary examinations. I'm the one being hunted and i am not the hunter. Irony. BUT, i will still keep to my promise of following to a schedule. This is a promise i made to myself, with GOD's help, i can suceed.

THE VERY FIRST HUNT

Haha, sounds suggestive? Nah, it's only my first time trying to do a blog, hope i will enjoy & benefit from the experiences...

It's Sunday night, next day it wil be the start of a new week, with school days ahead, but i know that it will be a different week altogether, because the mentality is set to accomplish something GREAT.. something i've never done before, that is to listen to my own schedule. It will not only be an "Advance Level" examination for me, cause i have promised my self many times to try to accomplish something i set for my self. Tomorrow, i will try.
