2 Days of Army Related Stuff

Alright... so the 1st day, which was yesterday (19/01/10), went over to CMPB with Jacob and Soon wee to have our NS medical Screening..

hmmmm... it was a lot better than wat i expected it to be... the staff there are pretty kind and good.. except for a few NSFs i guess... the staff there wasnt like stern and had that kinda stuck up face..they were still smiley and treating us really well...

one of the NSF was even allowing me to choose my very first station.. LOL.. i dunno why... but yea... the rest of the people, he kinda like just assigned them randomly.. hahaha.. so i was like pretty surprised he asked me to choose..

headed to dental first... then to xray, hearing, blood, eyes and lastly the Medical officer side...

well... was pretty disappointed when i got my Pes Status because i was not realli expecting that... thru out all the stations, even for my eyes... i gotten Pes A for all of them... so i was tinking like if everything is normal and stuff.. i would at most go into Pes BP for being mild obese...

But... things werent wat i expected... during the consultation with the Medical Officer.. he kinda discovered im flat footed... i mean yes.. i know im flat footed... but i didnt intend to declare it in the first place.. so he did some tests... and told me that my flat footed was rather severe...
So he ask me if i can run and jump.. and i told him i can run but not jump due to the shock running up my feet after landing from a jump... so just because of that... i got downgraded to Pes C... excused from Running, Marching and Jumping some more...

The immediate thought that came to my mind was "great... then wat the heck do i do in NS?" ....was pretty disappointed because afterall.. every guy needa go thru NS and i personally feel that... i would want the tougher training... get to fire some rifles and do grenade throwing.. i mean where can u ever throw a grenade besides doing that in NS.... might as well make the 2 years as exciting as it can... be it if its tough and enduring..

but wats done is done... looking at the brighter side.. my BMT is modified and onli 7 weeks.. i dun even need to retake Napfa Test because it is insignificant in Pes C.... well... pretty much that kinda sums up my medical screening...

Day 2 was today... went over to HQ armour at sungei Gedong.. some ulu place where the army camp is... and its realli deep inside.... was welcomed by loads of tanks parking at the side of the camp... and then followed by a talk from 2 NSF...

Headed to the tactical engagement station first and got the chance to actually fire a rifle... though we can onli fire 3 rounds.. but the feeling is shiok one lor... its realli fun to fire the rifle and get the feel of it...

then headed over to view the different tanks... and somehow... i always end up listening to the NSF talking to me about the driver capacity in the tank... went in and sat in the tank driver' seat.. pretty awesome to sit in there and know how it looks from the inside..

then went over to one of the simulation at this room... and they had this 2 huge bullet to load and fire.. though of course they didnt realli literally fire in the room... sat in that "tank" and felt it moved around... with the commander controlling and giving instruction.. quite exciting...

Got the chance to ride in a real tank after that...and surprisingly.. i saw fuxiang.. one of my sec school senior... he gave some instruction and there we go.. hopping onto the tank and having the ride around the camp in the tank...

Lastly.. they did a display finale for us.. like how the tank will go in during war time and how they deploy the soldiers to defeat the enemy.. though the display was pretty short.. but nonetheless... they realli fire their rifles... exciting for that few mins... hahaha!

Headed back to school after that.. and then headed home...

Alrighty...thats so much i wanna share for this post.. tmr is my final Presentation for FYP... pretty nervous... guess im gonna quickly go back to chionging my presentation!

Till then...

Which one will it be?

Just came back from Strikeforce training... and was told today is important as Boon, my strikeforce head, wanna talk to some of us regarding some gigs and performances...

And so in the middle of the training, i was called out to speak to him... hmm and its with regards to this year National Day Parade and Youth Olympics Games performances...

Somehow.. im pretty okay with both of them... just that if its up to me to chose, i would prefer Youth Olympics Games... but nonetheless, comes wat may, i will still accept which ever was offered to me... so the main thing was Boon asking us if we can commit to the training and the rehearsals from april all the way up to August...

with regards to National Service, he can even deferred the few of us that might be affected.. hahaha.. but of course i gave him my committment and told him im up for it... so now i just gotta wait to see if i got chosen and which one will i get chosen for....

on top of that, he also ask us with regards to some community performances which is non paid, so well.. i gave my committment for that as well.. i mean serving doesnt necessarily have to get anything back in return.. if its that case, then thats not called serving anymore...

of course, this year, one of my goals was to perform as many performance as i can prior to NS, and perform to my hearts content... because afterall, once i goes in to NS, i will pretty much perform lesser and it realli depends... so hence this year i wanna do many gigs and performances as i can before NS.... be it if its paid or not... it doesnt matter...

Dreading school tomorrow, i realli dun feel like going to school tmr... i just dun have that energy and that kinda motivation to go to school anymore.. bloody boring... nevermind.. a few more weeks only... plus that 2 stupid weeks of in-house attachment... waste time, free labour...

Screw those negative stuff.. looking forwards to Upcoming performances!!!! guess thats the onli thing now that motivates me... and of course.. upcoming outings with my secondary school friends.. wahahaha...

gonna spend more time with them.. realised i always neglected them due to my busy schedule.. nonetheless, im gonna make time for them and spend more time with them! Clubbings, cyclings, rollarbladings all coming up! =D

okaye.. thats all from me for now...

A Brand New Year???

hmmm... a brand new year, a brand new start? i think... more of like forget it... the moment this year start.. everything went wrong...

somehow... i can foresee that this year is gonna be quite a tough year to get by... i get the feeling that God is realli putting me to the test... all this trials and stuff... im not gonna be like last time... all these aint gonna pull me down... it onli makes me stronger...

Criticism may comes... negative words may come... and i must admit i dun realli do very well in that area... but nonetheless i still have to deal with it... its part and parcel of life... i have to get out of my comfort zone and not always expect things to work my ways...

im not gonna give a shit to wat others say unless its constructive... for wats the point i make myself so miserable to keep thinking bout wat and how other people think of me... im not opening myself to howling abuses here.. but unless u guys have constructive comments or criticism... otherwise... its just gonna go in and go out of my ears... its like "whatever la.."

i tink its time for me to live life.. seriously...

screw those negative thoughts... its time to live right... and its the right time to live now..

Just did the facebook "God wants u to know" thingy.. the words are so timely...

"that your remedy for anxiety is the question: 'Will this matter in a year from now?' All too often you get so involved in things that you look at life through a microscope. Amplifying manifold, an invisible speck becomes an insurmountable mountain. Put down the microscope and imagine yourself a year from now looking back at today: 'Does this really matter?''

the main thing came to me is that " does this really matter" and immediately.. all the bad tings came to my mind and i started asking myself.. does it realli matter? am i realli looking at things from a microscope and tend to magnify problems and stuff?

will it matter so much a year later.. and realli, i tink i pretty much get the answer myself... it will matter onli if i keep harping on it and looking at it.. and one year later tings will still not change...

looking at all these negative events.... and all these lil trials.. yes they are indeed annoying... and it gets on my nerve.. but im sure i can get out of it.. and one year later.. this is history man...

Thank GOD for that great timely word! God indeed speaks to us thru all things... facebook also can! LOL!

alright.. done with my venting and wat i wanna say... needa let it out... felt soo much better letting it out...
