So on Saturday evening, me and the MO family finally met up after so long. We had dinner at F.I.S.H. at tampines 1. Haha. I have been eating a lot of fish these days. So i ordered this cod fish thingy. Didnt manage to snap a pic of it. And surprisingly, it was superbly delicious. haha. Coz before that i heard ppl say that the food there not that nice. Lol

So besides that, we also wanted to celebrate Gracecia's birthday which falls on mon which is today. Haha. We (excludes me) gave her present consist of 21 pieces of various things. Such as 21 rochers, 21 pegs and more. haha. Quite a lot of things. We actually settled this at mcdonalds tamp mall. The place was so crowded at that time. haha. So after that we went home! Happy Birthday Gracecia!!

Golfer in coma after being struck by lightning

Link: http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/index.php/world/41413-golfer-in-coma-after-being-struck-by-lightning

This happened last sunday at Tanah Merah Country Club. And u noe what? I was playing tennis at that time. Just around that area at Changi Beach Club. We were playing tennis at about 10.10 am. It was very warm and the sun was shining quite brightly. All of a sudden, we heard this very very loud thunder right above our heads. And its the loudest that i have ever heard. We were very shocked and scared. The thunder then kept rumbling and we could see lightning above. So, we rushed off to the shelter. Though it was still quite bright. The dark clouds was just starting to form up. Soon after, the dark clouds kinda dissipated and sky became bright. No rain no nth. Only lightning and thunder. Weird.. So we kept playing after that. Soon after i read the news, in mind i thought, omg! i could have been hit by the lightning. We were very very close. But alhamdulillah we didnt get struck.

Ok. Im so bored~~~

Just came back from tennis with James. Yea, he improved quite a lot. And i kinda deproved a bit. I won him eventually 6-7(5) 7-5 7-6(8). Very tiring match indeed. The last time that i played with him i lost. I never ever lost to him b4. That showed how much i deproved tenniswise.

Anyway, SISPEC has been tough. Next week is the utmost challenging week. Its the week that i have been waiting to get over with. After next week is freedom! haha. And btw next week is my Grandslam week whereby we have to go back to tekong. I miss tekong. So, yea. No doubt its gonna be tough but ill try my best to endure. I mean, army is just about endurance. See who is able to endure the longest. Sigh.

I had SOC test last thur. I think i passed. Yay. It was the most tiring activity ever. After the SOC, i felt like dying. No other activity have ever made me like that. But luckily i gave my best. I really pushed myself beyond my limit. :))

Hey

Latest updates on me:

Mainly, my cat!!! One of my cats is gone!!! T_T. not the black one. Im so sad. I dunno where it went to. It disappeared like weeks ago. I dunno whether she is still alive or not. Im really concerned on her well-being. But oh wells. I reckon she's not coming back. U noe it was really a burden especially when taking care of her when she was ill that time. She had the eye infection or whatever shit. We forked out a lot too. And now she's gone! T_T. I just hope she found a new owner that will take good care of her. Okay why am i so emo?!?!

Ok thats aside. So far, my training in SISPEC has been endurable. I just went through my field camp!!! It was tough. Its definitely not easy. Mainly because it rained everyday and we got wet, dirty and smelly. I really couldnt tahan sia. It was so uncomfortable. And btw, compared to bmt time, this place has way more insects. Especially red ants. There are ants' nest everywhere. I got bitten by it numerous times. There was even one night where ants crawled over my head and i could sleep well. Tsk.Apart from that, hornet nests were found too but were being removed soon after being discovered. So..the training during field camp was very very tiring. Training in the rain is definitely something u wouldnt enjoy. And u have to carry ur weapon(s) everywhere u go. Sian. Its over yes. But its not totally over. Theres another one outfield coming up which is called grandslam. Thats even more tough. If i think this field camp is tough, grandslam will be much worse. But then again, no matter how tough, i went through everything already. So im quite mentally prepared to face the worst. So yea.

IPPT results 091009:

Chin ups: 10 (4)
Sit ups: 40 (5)
Standing broad jump: 250 cm (5)
Shuttle run: 9.0 sec (5)
2.4 km run: 10.37 min (4)
Total: 23 pts - Silver


Woot. I clinched silver yet again. I still have loads to work on for my 2.4 km run. To get gold is really a struggle. I have to improve my 2.4 km run timing by 1 min. 1 min is a lot man. Sigh. One of my bunk mates has achieved that. But nevertheless, theres another test coming up so i hope to achieve my goal.

Anyway, next week is every soldier's nightmare. And that is field camp!!! Grrr. I hate field camp to the max. Cant bathe, cant brush teeth, and u have to dig ur own hole to shit. grrrr. And the worst thing is u have to wear the camo cream 24/7. T_T.

Hey!

Im back from SISPEC!! First book out! Wootz.

Firstly i have to say, im glad to be back. Haha. It has been a rough week. First day itself was very hectic and chaotic. Furthermore i had a bad headache on that day. hence i wasnt feeling very well. But subsequent days was quite okay i should say. I got more familiarised with everything and made friends with my section mates. All i have to say is my bunk mates are great ppl. :)

Oh ya i forgot to mention that im from Kilo company. Yayness. All of BMT Taurus platoon 2 peeps were all posted there. Haha. So cool.

By the way i had IPPT categorisation test yesterday. Those who failed to get silver or gold will have to book out today as they will be having corrective training. Those who got silver and gold book out yesterday night at 7.30pm. So, i really pushed myself since i have been slacking for 2 weeks!! And it was really a struggle. I kinda deproved a bit. And also my whole body aching especially my thighs and quadriceps because previous days i got weapon drills. haha. but nonetheless, i got silver!! yay. 2.4 km run was definitely the killer for me. Because i could hardly walk. But at the back of my mind i told myself that book out is waiting for me at the end. So i had to motivate and push myself. And it really worked. I managed to get silver timing. :):)

So my results:-
Chin ups: 8 (3)
Sit ups: 40 (5)
Shuttle run: 9.8 (5)
Standing broad jump: 234 cm (4)
2.4 km run: 11??

So we met up for dinner at Manhattan Fish Market at Marina Square. =)) So its my first time there but its similar to fish & co. tho. And again i ordered salmon. Lol. But no doubt its nice. Especially the fries. The fries and tartar sauce are to die for! haha.

So after that we headed to no man's land. Lol. We couldnt decide where to go. But finally we decided to chill at esplanade while listening to some music at 10 pm. At that time i was already super sleepy. Haha. So we kinda chatted abit before making our way back home at about 11 plus. Sigh. Thats it :((

And btw, im posted to SISPEC! wee~~ I knew it. Its gd in a way coz my brother was from SISPEC so i can find out more from him. =)) So i have to report to Pasir Laba Camp this tues at 8-8.30 am. Sianz.

Woot. A post from me again!

Anywayz. This morning, i baked Famous Amos cookies. For Hari Raya though. I love baking. But its boring though coz ive been making this cookies every year. I would love to try others but then again this cookies is a must! Its everyone's favourite. ;) So, i started in the morning at about 9 am. And guess what. I managed to finish everything by 1 pm. Woot. Its a simple recipe anyway. And, if u wanna see pix, u can go back to my last year's post. hahaha. its the same.

Thats aside, i did try to make something new! I tried a recipe called Chocolate Pistachio Fudge. Which is a recipe from Nigella Lawson. Anyway, i love Nigella Lawson. She is awesome. And u noe what? My Chocolate Pistachio Fudge was a success! Its so simple. It only requires 15 mins of my time to complete everything. Its simple and heaven in everyone's mouth. Lol. I love it, everyone loves it. Anyway, i did this just to try out if its nice. In future days, ill definitely make more of these or maybe even for Hari raya. ;) Its simply irresistable.

Hey!

Hari Raya is just around the corner! Woot. And as usual, im really looking forward to it! Unfortunately, the start of hari raya also marks the start of my journey in the army yet again. T_T

So on sunday, i went out shopping! With my family. My brother and me intended to buy some clothes for hari raya. We already bought our baju kurung like earlier on during ramadhan. So we now looking for casual/smart clothes. So we went to Vivocity. Didnt noe why we ended up there. We planned to just go tampines one. haha. But nvm

So we managed to buy a shirt from Zara. And i got myself a pair of jeans from Levi's. And, in addition to the Zara shirt, my brother bought a polo tee which is awesomely nice from Topman. And of course, the price is also very nice. The thing is, both of us dont have to buy a lot. Because, at the end of the day, we will still wear each other's. Haha. Coz our shirt size and pants size are exactly the same! We even shared shoes! Come on! HAHA.

So, after our trip to vivo! We still proceeded to our plan to go Tampines one. We walked up and down and i bought myself another pair of jeans and another shirt from Messy boutique. I really love the boutique. It really has a lot of nice cool clothes and bags. And the thing is, the price is not expensive at all! Unlike topman and such. Btw i bought white jeans though since i dont have any. =). My brother always buy the good things. Grr.. I really envy him. But i dont have to since i can wear them too! Mwahahaha. Im evil. But nvm. Anyway, as i was saying, my brother bought a pair of grey jeans which is super nice.

So after that, i was really hoping that my brother would buy a pair of shoes coz hes really in love with this one shoe and it looked as if he could buy it anytime. but unfortunately he didnt. Sigh. but thats okay. So, thats the end of our shopping spree! And we broke fast in the evening with Pizza Hut! We bought from the restaurant and took away. We didnt order coz we knew it would take ages. So yea. :):)
