It was like so long ago that i've edited You, eternity.. Hmmm.. let me start chronologically...
Since March 20th. 4 weeks
Week of 25th
It was the final week that my squad had to go to block 26 for clases. Seeing that the end of our job course in the academy is coming to an end soon, some of us are actually not clear of our future NS direction, becasue of the secrecy and inefficiency of the PNSD. Most of us knew that if nothing goes wrong at that point of time, we would actually get our corporal rank, because we met the criteria (eng or GP, IPPT, EOC and SBT & studies which we had not received the results yet). The most of us are telling each other how we are going to study like mad over the weekend or something.
I did not study much for the Senario Based Test because i went to Pasir Ris beach to take pictures for my portfolio. i went out to shoot after i met Aloysius and borrowed his camera. The night was very windy, but the evening view was very beautiful. I realised how nature can be so captivating, so amazing the i would want to take the same picture over and over again. At that point of time, i did not think of the portfolio anymore; i was concentrating on the wonders of God's creation, and man's power over them. i spent the whole weekend doing the portfolio after that. As that weekend was the one which my family went to thailand for holidays, i was left alone at homne, and could do almost anything i wanted. i shifted the furniture to make my settings and made my short video clip indoors. i worked till 3am in the morining of 27th sunday. The whole weekend was basically about the 3 items BFA required us to submit.
Week of 3rd
The week actually started on 27th itself when i had to get up at 5, because i have got Oderly Barrack duties to perform. It was a sunday, (thank God) therefore there was literally no one except the few OBs, and the mess staff. the first thing i reached there was to replenish my energy: sleep. That rainy sunday went very slowly. Me & my partner slacked through the day, sleeping, polishing boots, reading. I tried to do my Portfolio write up on that day, but the printer was down. i can only sleep and read a book. i picked up Da Vinci's code from Danny, started reading it. The Academy actually looks scary without anybody in it.
This week was quite okay, as i got help to send out my portfolio out to NTU with Ma'am Indra's help. (my OC) She drove me out the balastier post office on tuesday. it was of Great help. Wednesday was the Big day, as Squad 54 finally got the Poolside party as promised. We had good deals and got 12 pizzas, 8 garlic bread & 4 bottles of pepsi for about $120++. We really had the fun that night as we hear OC and FI Adam talkied about the NSF changes and out future. Although Ma'am Indra was a bit naggy, we we knew her intention was good, in telling us about knowing how to behave and all.
We had our first ever Passing Out Parade rehearsal. Excited. The parade was simple, but it was the involvement part that drives most of us crazy. Adam was the in charge, man, he was strict... The last part of the working week is the Graduation Dinner, when we were presented with the Best Squad. Squad 54. The memories and people and all, it makes it really the Best ever.
Sentosa was relaxing on weekends with Lionel, Brad, YiXiang, Des+GF, and Roy+GF. i'm very reluctant to go into the waters because i had not brought my towel; i was tricked into the waters with a front rolling break fall, they grabbed me in after the roll when i was offbalanced. Fun guys though.. Best saboteur from the best squad (announced 1st april, no it was not a april fools' joke).
Week of 10th P.O.P. week
The practices gets more and more intensed as the Passing Out date inched nearer. Sweat is what we paid for the perfection of the parade, of course the hilight was that there will always a memoriable incident during 1 of the rehearsals. Best Squad Drew a "Best Squad of 118th intake" using marker on their white PT shirt and wore it to the morning Parade. We were marked by several instructors. And finally was reprimanded by Adam himself and we had to run back to the barrack to change.
In the midst of tight schedule, i received news that Dawn will be coming back on the 10th. thanks to my sister, who was always at home, instead of trying to solve the very same, similar, identical type of maths questions, she MSNed.
On P.O.P day itself, the morining, we were being called up to SI Indra's office for our posting. We were so anxious when we heard that a whole lot of us got Station Sercurity as our posting A.K.A Sentry. I am very worried i would get that. i got Neighbourhood Police Centre. Another thing i want to give thanks to God.
On P.O.P. night(7th) , My parents came, Amos came, Minqi and Daniel came, Valerie came. I'm so happy to see them. Most of my friends were packing their stuffs for the Next day enlistment (8th). This is the point of a semi-bad news, because NPCO course is 3 months, not the earlier comfirmed 1 month.
Friday (8th) De-kit day.
Crazy Day. The whole Delta company rushed to and fro the gymnasium and delta coy. Because FI Yusman (coy commander) was not satisfied with the conditions. NPCO1 was to stay in at block 25, room 1. I'm back to my old room. The last official gathering of squad 54 was held at Bradley's place. Both Adam and Ezra came, we had a couple of drinks and stayed till 1am. It was an eventful night because we had fruitful discussions about the NS future and had advices on how to let an eventful life out during off-days. We shared about where go get good chill out places, cheap etc etc.
Week of 17th
1st week in NPCO1. Boring as there was only lessons. the only leisure was to do exercises. Jogged 2 nights with Howard. Good companion. The good times are 1) the the very frequent sleeping breaks, after every meals... so slack, & 2) we get to learn Driving in 2 weeks duration.
Thanks Dean for helping me fix the graphics card and getting me such a brotherly deal. Pacifier was funny, haha, Vin's acting improved man, since xXx.
Bible study was eventful. Learnt a lot yesterday and today. How to lead a life that stands out, even though throught the eyes of modern society, our actions might be deemed weird, but we know that our actions are based on the words that will never pass away. How changes in our life actually change our life for the better. Teaching the secondary 2 kids was a splitting headache. I sure do pray that they grow and mature faster.
Going to walk in later. Finished packing my stuffs. But i have not gone out with Dawn yet. I really do hope i can have the chance next weekend.

Plan(et)
i made a pact with Dean "yesterday" (saturday. Which is to obtain abs before ORD. haha.
I did my sentry duty from friday evening till saturday morning. It was not as tiring as they say, but it really is rather nervewreaking. The rest was disturbed and the short period of break was not enought to compensate the fatigue.

Ops. Error...
Ah!! i forgot to make an entry last sunday; was too busy preparing for the walk in, teaching my sister geography & mathematics and talking to my mother.
As i was mentioning, i just received my 'A'levels results last week. Was disappopinted as i sort of realised that it would be quite difficult for me to enter University with ease. Therefore, it is actually like a piece of big boulder blocking my way in life. As the week pass by, i realised that not everyone is talented academically, to be more specific: there are different types of education that are suitable for different type of people. For me, the more structured style, like in primary and seconbdary school compared to the Junior college style is more suitable for me. Somehow the "freedom" i experienced during my college years earned me my 3-Ds.
As i went around Career fairs, and NUS & SIM open houses, UK educational fair. I began to see the boulder getting beiiger and taller. It is like you know that u can breeze through the path which happens to be BEHIND the boulder, but the chances of getting to there is hard. It is like one standing on a river bank and see that the green pasture is on the OTHER side, but the wide river is almost impossible to cross, and the criterias are depriving you of even a small raft to try for a chance to get over there. We ought to know and have faith that God will remove the boulder and provide us with the boat for us, but sometimes as humans, we are impatient and lay blame, we ought to change too.
As i check out the courses and faculties in those fairs, i think that NTU and overseas might be the only choice. Seriously. My options are Biomolecular and Media. But it would be hard for me to get into any science course with my score. Media would be a more practical choice in this sense as it is one of my forgotten interest...
Walking in later. it's 3 more weeks to P.O.P. . 1 more week to Exminations!!! Never did i , nor my squadmates expect that we have to study during National Service. Stressed out. I will be performing sentry duty this friday evening till saturday morning, come visit me if you can, i will see if i can let you enter, or just shoot you straight. (kidding) I will skip my trek around MacRitchie reservoir because of my duty. (YaHoo!!)
During these few weeks, i've watched 3 movies all at Suntec because i've been there again and again and again...
Lastly, i could not get Dawn on her phone, simply 1) because she never turn on her SingTel number and 2) i do not know how to dial Australian number. Haha.
Tata Evans!!

Dimentional
Heard of 3 dimentional, 3-D? Well, that's my A levles score. Quite disappointed though. But I must praise God for helping me get throught the toughest period. For me to have the heart of acceptance.
Actually i did not want to blog today. Because later i missed out somehting about Daniel ah, then... ... ... ...
Haha. Actually i'm going out to Sntec Carrer fair with him & Aloysius today. So, i'll actually write another more meaningful entry tomorrow.
Lastly, finally, Dawn answered her Handphone. after prompting to change her sim card. haha.

Acquire a new skill, level up!
Finally, i've learnt to ride the bicycle on the 19th of feb 2005. At the age of 18. So old, right. All thanks to my father. Ya, initially (about 4 or 5 years ago) SOME PEOPLE *Amos & Sherman* agreed to teach me, then after a while (like 2 years ago) ANOTHER SOMEBODY *Aloysius* also promised to teach me. In the end, my father taught me.
It's quite some time, eternity evan B.C. since i wrote in. It is still new year, I just went to Aloysius's house for night suffer, i meant night supper yesterday. Thanks for the Mudshake man. It has been 12 days of Chinese New Year already.
I was actually shocked that my postage, consisting of a letter, a card and a mini calendar could successfully reach Australia. i would thought it was overweight. Ya, Dawn received it. Hmmm, Hey, Dawn, hope you'll like it! "Bear again??" you might be thinking, actually i bought the calendar last year, december, after one of my NAPFA test, at Toa Payoh Popular. So, why is it so late? Because i could not get stamps. Funny reason..... but true......
Hey, it's walk in day again. 3 months P.O.P!! Police Academy

Hmmm... do i want to start hunts again?
So, should i start wrinting my entries like what i did last time. As in i placed scenarios of hunting game and relate it , or superimpose to my weekly life? Considering.
Hello you all... it was hectic week for us Police trainees. Lessons everynight till 2230, and lights out is 2230. We had hardcore training this week, like live firing early in the morning after drills. Strength Training PT right after a 2 hours swimming lesson also early in the morning. The comforting fact is that i did okay in these, marksman for the 1st frame, and category A for swimming. I am satisfied with my results. I am expecting more physical activities and adventures in-camp this week. Come on, i can take it. Too much lessons somehow slackens us, makes us fat. haha.
I am slow in my progess spiritually. Because i had not finish reading even chapter 1 of my "EXPERIENCING GOD" book. But church life is fun. I've realise that my brothers and sisters have grown (spiritually lah, DUH). Min Hui especially. I'm happy for them.
Hi Dawn! Hope you will be reading my entry. Yepp. We've (me&sis&friends) been thinkin of you. Somehow everything around me reminds me of you. Haha. The blue sky, Girl's clothing in stores, etc. You know, i went to PS yesterday. Then i saw a glass pendant shaped of a cross with bits of baby blue/ bright yellow confetti designs inside, guess what? reminded me of you, because the colour combination suits your skin tone exactly. haha. so, ya. haha.
I got to go, Walking in camp soon. cya soon, eternity evan B.C.
Cya soon, Dawn

Finally
When was the last time i write in... sorry for the delay. I like Police life, the time i spent in the Academy. Nice. Training was not so tough, for us, the Prep Course tough peeps. Sadly, i cannot fill in any details here. it's against the law. Sorry guys out there. i only can say, we enjoyed using the T-baton more than the revolver.
Yesterday we all went to send Dawn off... Sad moments... i've decided to become Dawn's pan-pal. Haha, a bit outdated, but still very useful.Hmmm, Faith said she stilllll cried after she went home. i've tried, but nothing came out. Weird.

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.

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.

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.
