Selamat Hari Raya 2015!

It's the time of the year again and this year, it's different because i'm in NS so i won't have much green packet collection as before. But nonetheless, it's an occasion to celebrate the end of Ramadhan and forgiving so there's nothing to be sad about. Plus, my allowance is more than enough. Not bragging, just ensuring others that i'm not sad. Really.

Anyway, i've finally graduated from SCS on the 25th June 2015 to become a 3rd Sergeant in the SAF. It's so much pride and happiness because i endured the first week of Ramadhan doing rehearsals and lessons. The rehearsals were no joke because it's serious, duh, and also because the weather was not forgiving at all. It was scorching hot and made our throats dry like it was draught season. So we the Muslims had to endure and persevere the hot weather and sun tanned ourselves until our skin was two-tone. Luckily i'm dark enough so the Sun was like, "i'll skip this one". Every evening when break-fast comes, we would all prepare minimally four cups of drink per person. That was how thirsty and how greedy we were. It was all free anyways. Thankfully the week just whizzed by and poof, we became men with ranks hehe! I was happy and delighted. Now, i can do whatever i want.

To extend my lucky charm, i was posted to Army Fitness Centre (AFC) in Pasir Laba Camp. So everyone posted there, including the higher ups have no clue whatsoever what this AFC does for a living. But speculations rose and many told us that we were doing 8-5 duty and bookout everyday kind of thing. So we went there and yes, indeed it was true. Immediately we underwent a two and a half weeks induction programme to up our fitness level and knowledge. I learnt that in AFC, the 3SG were usually put in the Physical Training Instructor (PTI) course. But the senior 3SG who were the batch one year before us informed that they were the last batch to become PTI. So lucky us, or not, my batch didn't have to go through the gruelling 8-week PTI course, which included something like combat swim, SOC and FBO fast march, back-to-back may i add. I've just completed the induction programme and my internal posting in AFC is to the Fitness Condition Centre (FCC) at Khatib Camp, one of the four FCCs which includes Kranji, Maju and Bedok camps. So the AFC is in-charge of our training schedule and the amount of PT we have, how the different exercised can be conducted and the types of sports or games that the Army can play. Currently, we're changing to Dragon Boat instead of the Army Half Marathon. But that's the job of my friends in the DB coaching team. I'm in the lepak FCC team who start work at 2pm and end at 10pm with Fridays off teehee!

I can't wait to start working. Kinda. Because it's new environment and i am free to do my stuff. The only downside is that i have to work on weekends. But who cares? I have Fridays off. 

I hope anyone reading this have a pleasant week ahead and have a blessed Hari Raya Aidilfitri!

Alhamdulillah, i am grateful for everything.

Wow. Five years since my last post. Well, a whole lot has changed in five years. I never knew what dreams are made of and i never knew what it was like to achieve your dreams. Through hard work and pure grit and determination, you can achieve your dream. There will be times where you think your goal is just out of reach or it will take you a longer time than originally hoped for but trust yourself to make small leaps of faith and many unimaginable things can be achieved. As a Muslim, i believe Allah is the best of planners and alhamdulillah, He is the best of planners. There were times i doubted myself about my life and what i wanted to do because the journey to achieve my dreams is taking longer than i had imagined. Five years ago i was still in the National Service serving in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) as a Third Sergeant taking NSmen for Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) and conducting Remedial Training (RT) as well as IPPT Preparatory Training (IPT). In 2014, i had ...

The Last Few Things.

You know, life has always never been perfect. There are obstacles you need to overcome. Always. But you know, my life is a less of obstacle. It's more of a game. It's playing me. Whatever it is, i shall try to live with it. You see, God made us fairly. Very fair. In our ways, we are special. Sadly, some people just think that they are perfect. Better than us. I hope they know that God is great. No one is greater than God. These people likes to think that we are wrong in our own thoughts. And they think that their own thoughts are right. And always right. But i always stick to the quote that whatever we think, we are probably right. Still, they just can't accept it. That sentence is too true. This is a free world. We can think whatever we want. But no. These people think that they are right while we are wrong. I hate that attitude. I've tried to tolerate but it's gone overboard. Today was especially a sad day. Dedicated to my ex, telling her that this world is big an...

Just Nothing.

Well, yesterday was pretty much boring for me. I get more bored with the fact that my dear is away. For four days... Ah. I hope time flies. While she's away, i 'll try to finish up my homework if not she will get mad at me. Ha' See how much she cares about me. Ah. Whutever. Got this break to blog from doing homework. Doing Mother Tongue now. Then, maybe tomorrow shall be EL and some Science. Freak! I hate homework. And holidays. Well, kind of. There's like not enough time to rest. But nonetheless, Band is always fun. Even without rest, i still enjoy and cherish Band. I love them. Especially Junior Band. Ah. I get to play my Double Bass too. But fingering it ain't easy uh. I only know one thing, If you want to join Band, you must be commited. If otherwise, you will be sacked within days. Tiring is always. But it's more fun than other thing. Still not more than soccer. Or equal to. Idk. Damn. Ah. Four days will be boring. Or so. AH! Shall get back to work already!...
