NP has struck the deepest chord in me.

true success is not the position you reach but the obstacles you overcome in life.

i just cannot believe all these are coming to an end. okay, i know i'm going to sound like a broken record, so please bear with me while i recall those days...

i just read my NP diary which i started keeping in sec 2. argh, now i regret not having one right from the start cos i can barely recall much of my sec 1 NP life! I just have this faint recollection that we are all super blur and 33 ma'ams just whisked past our shoulders.

everything seems so sepia to me. and it's only 3 years ago. honestly i can barely recall POP '02. the only captured memory i have of POP '02 is that photograph sitting on my desk now. the one we took with our NCOs, in which some of us had evident tearstains and puffy eyes.

and then it was 34 ma'ams' reign. i can tell you my sec 2 life was the most memorable ever. we got to know one another much better and we bonded as a squad! i've done the craziest things in sec 2. Reading through my sec 2 entries, scenes after scenes of yesteryear just ran through my mind..rewinding and playing in sequence...

i'm someone who relish thinking about the past. i can't relinquish the past. they are all too important to me. i cannot ensure i'll remember my NP life as i grow older. so i must keep flipping the pages to keep the memories alive.

As i was saying. sec 2 life. you just cannot imagine how crazy we are. haha. i think our classmates just had to take their hats off to us for being such fervent people. i love sec 2 life!!! so carefree and happy =)

ATC '03. Charlie '03. it was my 1st ATC because i missed ATC '02 due to chickenpox. I love charlie very much :) i still do!!! but of course i love bravo tooooooo. then soon it was POP '03. i probably cried all my year's worth of tears. POP '03. the day 34 ma'ams passed out. the day we sat at dongdong with them for a song singing session. the day we hugged them outside school crying our hearts out yet again.

and the next day we became leading cadets. i think i became more vocal and cheerful...and more gaoxiao. haha. learnt to be strong and not to be overcome by emotions easily. sec 3 was another fleeting year. NYCT times were unforgettable though, the daily trainings before school, during recess and after school. for three whole months we concentrated on nothing except for campcraft. one competition later we were back to square one. hais. how i wish i can dedicate my sec sch life only to NP, dalt and nothing else.

a few months later, it's 35 ma'ams' turn to pass out. all these seemed to happen in the twinkling of the eye. soon it was NCOship for us...bittersweet days. some bad things just had to happened when the unit is in our hands. but what really matters is not the achievement but the attitude we have in our stride.

now we are passing out soon, and i really dunno where to go after we are out.


@ 9:41 PM

urgh here i am slacking my last week off not doing any SIAs!!! none of my SIAs are done. NONE. i'm sucha huge procrastinator i should just jump off the cliff and die =X
i dunno how am i going to cope the first week of school cos there's so much work to clear up and SIA presentations to do...i hate SIAs. I HATE THEM. GO AWAY AND STAY AT ONE CORNER AND STOP BOTHERING ME.

WE WILL ALL GET INDIVIDUAL dun worry. haha.

@ 10:27 PM

okay my mouse revived so i'm back to update on ATC '05.

atc really rawks. first thing i realised after atc '05 ended: i dun want to pass out. atc '05 is fleeting. time whisked pass our shoulders. 3 days and 2 nights suddenly seemed so fast.

i'm proud of sec 3s. they lead the companies well, and though i'm not their NCO, i could really see their leadership qualities in this atc. they have organised a great campfire!! short and sweet. i must say i'm truly impressed by their initiative and the never-say-die spirit. they took good care of the sec 1s and 2s!!! i feel safe leaving the unit to them.

i'm proud of sec 2s. seems like our perpetual scoldings are of good use. haha. they dun look particularly outstanding in their own squad but they amaze us in atc!!! a batch of potentially zai cadets. i'm particularly impressed during CD competition! they are good first-aiders. ahaha. you all have the jing ying material!!!

i'm proud of sec 1s. i don't know them very well cos they've only been in the unit for 4 mths. but still, they have improved much in atc. thru many scoldings they now know how to report for companies properly!!! ahaha. and they are sweet enough to offer us their mac fries. yay. thanks!

i don't want to leave NYNP. really. i was complaining before atc that i couldn't wait for POP. yet now i contradict myself.

seeing the cadets putting their best feet forward in atc makes me feel worthwhile joining NP and sacrificing every bit of ourselves for NYNP. i'm dreading POP now. go away.


@ 8:55 PM

back from atc!!! slept from 6 plus yesterday to 7 plus in the morning today! sleep for thirteen hours! if my mama didn't drag me from my bed today i would have accumulated more sleeping hours...maybe like twenty...haha ah! i'm so excited now i dunno what i'm blabbering about!

i truly love atc '05!!! i love BRAVO to bits. BRAVOBRAVOBRAVOBRAVOBRAVOBRAVOBRAVO. most creative company. ahaha.

BRAVO '05. BOMBASTIC BAMBOOS.

jaclyn. huiqi. xinyi. connie. huijun. jolene poon. marilyn. leesimin. sheila. sock keng. jin ying. yin hwee. yuan han. yung hian. bombastic bamboos.
click here!!!

my mouse is dying on me now. low on battery. BOOOOOS. shall update on ATC 05 asap. all i want to say is: bravo we are so proud of you no matter what the results are. esp when you all broke the four-year (or even longer =P) curse of getting last for campcraft competition! ahaha.and: we got into finals for quiz comp! it's like a dream come true!!! nanyang had never gotten into finals before. this time we strived and studied hard. and we DID IT!!! wooooooo!!! yay. i'm so glad for weiwen's gut feeling! they are so accurate! good thing she wasn't wavered by me and litian's doubts. 8th july. may the power be with us.


Sunday, June 12, 2005 @ 1:04 PM

my body was all aches and pains when i woke up today!! never felt like that for a long long time cos i haven been exercising my muscles for quite a while =P. call me crazy, but i kind of enjoy the aching feeling. ahaha. especially at the stomach area! when u laugh heartily you can feel the stretch. HMMMs. i'm nuts. haha. ignore me.
was so so so so so fatigued and sleepy the previous night. zombified. i didn't even realise my backpack was unzipped when i alighted at the bus stop. a kind passerby had to tell me. ahaha. barely able to mutter a word of thanks to him. THANKS ANYWAY! dun think you will ever read this. NVM. haha.
okae. back to alumni games day. el desafio! that's "the spirit" in spanish. it was kinda like amazing race, running on the entire island doing tasks like lion dancing in front of the merlion at the esplanade. haha. we went to these places (in sequence):
xiao guilin
woodlands library
sembawang hot springs
toa payoh bus interchange
esplanade
mustafa at serangoon plaza
katong laksa (sadly we couldn't go there and eat the famous laksa. boo)bedok jetty. (SO FAR LAH)
me and zuojin are in group one! only our group has 2 sec 4s. pathetic. haha.
zuojin drank the raw egg at xiao guilin cos we didn't break the egg!! it definitely beats eating the bittergourd. yucks. i hate bittergourd. felt pretty hyped up and excited during the 1st half of the race. haha. we are labelled the kiasu group by janet ma'am cos we were ready to rush out of the mrt doors once they opened. haha.
janet ma'am is a very lenient and nice facilitator cos she let us pass tho we din exactly get the answers correct. hohoho. teaming up with zuojin is good cos she's very initiated and asks for directions once we are stuck. haha. YEAH ZUOJIN WE RAWKED!!!
i think i'm a pretty good bus guide user =) i think i'm an expert user already!!! i checked the bus guide for umpteen times till it's new and polished cover was slighly dog-eared! oops. i'm so sorry to the owner. haha. the bus guide really saved our lives.
sat 401(my class!)to east coast park and walked to bedok jetty as our ending point. FINALLLLLLY! woah. played water bombs at the beach. so frenzy and crazy. i wasn't THAT wet until one water bomb came crashing on me. i din want to get terribly wet cos i forgot to bring an extra pair of pants!!! all hell broke loose after the water bomb came. haha. dripppping wet. some of us changed into our extra clothings went out of east coast park to go to PA. haha. it was pretty late by then, around 7 plus going 8 i think.
siewfun's our volume controller! we treated east coast park, bus 16 and the bus stop at city hall stn like NP room and talked reallly loudily. every 5 minute or so siewfun will remind us to keep our volume down. ahaha. i conferred her the title of volume controller.
ate like we never ate before at PA. wanted to spend off all the tickets we had. bought loads of food: doughnuts, otak, satay, noodles, fried rice, burger, fried icecream, fish balls, chin chow, aloe vera. ALOT ALOT ALOT. of. food. binged like mad.
felt so so so tried after that. took 851 with my dearie ZLKP. we were both fatigued to the extreme.
reached home and almost plonked onto the floor.


Friday, June 10, 2005 @ 11:39 PM

I haven update for AGES!!! im too lazy to type cos i kept myself busy watching the tv these few days...haha. ANW, spurs won game 1 of nba finals 84-69 against pistons!!! wooo~~~~~! i'm sho happy! lalala. ginobili is man-of-the-match. he penetrated through the walls of defence and shot many hoops! ahaha. too bad there's nobody to share my joy as a spurs fan...hehs. ANY SPURS FAN OUT THERE??

hais. the trip to m'sia was pretty uneventful cos i wasted half the time on the roads of m'sia. went to visit my great-grandmother (my daddy's grandmama) in taman seputeh in KL. She's 90 and still hale and hearty! okae, maybe that's not exactly true but she can still speak pretty loudily!!! haha. anyway, something amusing happened. my great-grandmama thought that i'm my brother's girlfriend!!! they were all conversing in cantonese, so i din understand anything they said. after we left in my uncle's car, mama told me that my great-grandmama mistaken me for my brother's girlfriend!!! no wonder there was this instant they all started laughing and looking at me. and me looking back at them innocently. hehs. my mum said she didn't know i'm so grown-up alr. (i look THAT old meh??!) haha. that's one funny episode.

Slow and Steady
Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy.

They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder.

It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment.

They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it.


How Do People See You?

i'm slow? ahaha. i'm impatient you know. yea, i think i'm quite careful lah.











The Keys to Your Heart



You are attracted to good manners and elegance.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.

Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you don't need. You just feel like flirting around and playing right now.

CD course today. I was glad for it cos we had it before the date of submission for SPF badge. must really thank samuel kwek for helping us to find vacanies for the course within such a short period of time. Woke up on the wrong side of the bed and felt pretty zonked out and terrible. Was pissed off for nothing and kept typing the sh*t word into the phone. haha. huiqi managed to cheer me up by asking me to spot the difference in the words.

basically we went thru stretcher, fire and evacuation theory and demonstrations with the officers. had lunch, slacked for a while and then proceeded to the theaterette. ah. we slack so much in the room! watch some videos which i din like, tho a few were non-violent and quite funny. took the test and then slacked somemore watching more videos. i can't believe we spent our time so unfulfillingly. whatever. anw me and HQ got full marks for the test! haha. got a souvenir from one of the officer. a box of pink paper clips!! haha. with SCDF on it. hmmms.

and steff told me stories! steff is nice :)

we had class outing on monday!!!
which is why this RED lobbie is typing away in front of her computer now. it was the most extensive tan i've ever had! prob coz i was wearing tank and shorts.
me, jas, yokey and pheiphei wanted to reach harbourfront mrt earlier at 9 to GOSSIP. hurhur. unsuccessful attempt, though. yokey woke up at like 9.30??!! haha...it took her quite a while to reach palawan beach. hurhur. anyways.
reached palawan beach as a big bunch and played beach volley!!! i think that's when i got my tan coz the rest of the time was spent playing round vball in the shade and playing in the sea.

I TOTALLY LOVE VOLLEYBALL!!! we concluded that beach volley wasn't as engaging as round volley so we decided to switch and played round volley instead. the more regular players were me, pheiphei, sop, yokey, huiqing and xiaojun. that xiaojun ah, every few minutes you will hear her the beeping tone from her phone. so distracted. TSKTSK. hehs. i was standing at the most un-strategic place-backfacing the beach. which means i gotta run after every ball that goes into the beach!!! the flaming sun is enough to kill. not to mention the scorching sand under my thin-soled feet. ouchies. i can still feel the pain at the arch now. boo. haha. but nvm. it was quite fun chasing after the ball.

and then it was lunchtime! more like breaktime to me. we just gobbled down any food we saw to fill our stomaches. sop and i were happily taking pics with almost everyone we saw!!! lala. our new hobby!!! didn't know sop like to take pictures
so much too!!!

finally we headed towards the waters! yipee! i love to stay afloat near the shore, with the water reaching our waists and us kneeling down or squatting down or doing whatsoever in the waters! gosh i love it :)me, pheiphei, yokey, sop, marg, jas and jac formed a circle and started our ramblings. hehs. i truly enjoy times like this. gossips can really bring ppl closer. and i told them the understatement of the year. (mrs chew told my mama i NEVER sleep in class! she says i don't have the tired look like what others have)Like c'mon, everybody agrees that i sleep the most in chem lessons??? is she blind or is she trying to fool my mum? HAHA. means i can sleep somemore in class :)and we were all reminiscing about the times we had sitting at the back row!!! recalling all the laughter and joy we shared as a row. URGH. i want our row back :(

then we went back to our bench.i was craving for something savoury!!! but couldn't decide what i wanted to eat, so i just grabbed slurpee from 7-11 and went back.

crossed the suspension bridge with pheiphei! apparently the other end was the "southernmost point of the asia continent." but pheiphei pointed out that indonesia was south of singapore so how can it be the southernmost point?? haha. she made sense. on our way back pheiphei tried to count the number of planks on the suspension bridge! but she gave up coz there's something else which caught our attention. the FISHES! there's 3 groups of small, medium and large fishes!! they occupied diff territories and were quite close to the opposite shore. sho interesting!!! and then on the other side of the bridge we saw 2 crabs! they looked translucent to me. HMMMs.

we played volleyball yet again! oh man. it's becoming an addiction. i hope we can have another volleyball gathering in sentosa!! maybe in december...haha. left palawan beach at around 5 plus and subsequently reached singapore. i watched the sunset while i was on the bus!! it was a great pity not to be able to see it at sentosa...really hope i can see sunset/sunrise at the beach sometime!!! haha.

pls dun be shocked by my red outer covering if you happen to bump into me these few days.
