BOTC Residential Weekend

I have just come back from an interesting week end…during the weekend I went to Malaysia for my BOTC Residential Weekend. There were a total of 46 participants for this camp. We really enjoy our self. The entire group felt very bless…it is because we were suppose to stay overnight at the campsite. As there is an over flooding of people in the camp and all the participants there were all Muslim and only our groups are Christian group. Base on RAMs and PEEP’s model…the best way to prevent risk from happening is to separate our self from them. So the camp committee decided to change another venue for our group to stay overnight. We went to a resort in kukup…to our surprise the living condition there were so much better than the camp sites…some more the all the rooms there were all equipped with air condition. Not only that…we also have a wonderful supper.
Just to share the whole trip experience with all…we gather at BBHQ at 0730hrs and we set off for Malaysia at 0815hrs…and reach the immigration gantry at about 0900hrs and stuck in a traffic jam till 1030hrs then we reach Singapore customs…then we change to a new bus at the Malaysia custom side…from Malaysia custom to the campsite we took another 30 min drive…so we reach the campsite at about 1120hrs…so at the campsite the first activities that we did was objective setting…and orientate our self at the camp site...then following by lunch, seriously the serving was very little and surprising most of us still said we were full…may be the food was really bad…then after lunch we bunk into the room given to us we proceed on to the activities…all the activities that we are doing are all wet activities…during one of the activities I was bitten by a LEECH !!! It wasn’t painful or anything…just that suddenly there is a mole like stuff stuck on my ankle… by the end of all the activities we change to our dry clothing…den we do our outdoor cooking…we were very lucky to have a mother in our group…so we basically have good home cook meal…then after the dinner is about 2000hrs…we pack our stuff then board the bus to change our sleeping journey…we reach our next destination at about 1000hrs…we resettle down in to 3 to 6 in a room…then we have a nice shower…after that we have our sumptuous supper all of us sit down for a 20min debrief for the day…the second day we woke up at 0640hrs then we travel 2hrs to travel back to the camp site for the water fall trekking…the trekking for me was super siong…but I did complete the trek…=D at the water fall…most of us enjoy our self at the waterfall…then have lunch at the foot of the hill…then after that we change and travel back to Singapore…we reach Singapore at about 1730hrs… then reach home bath and sleep till this morning 10am…
Now my whole body still aching…haha…
Write till here…

my prayer!

Today was an extreme tired day…not only physically but mentally as well…last night was not able to sleep well…although I went to sleep consider early…I went to sleep like about 11pm soon I was dreaming…but I kept waking up throughout the night…keep waking up after each dream…cant really remember what was the content also… but it was really a bad experience… wake up like at 1am, 3.30am, 5am and 7am. Then I wake up at 9am to bath and prepare myself to go school…den reach school like 10.50am 10miniute before the 1st lesson starts…den this though came to my mind…is this course really what I want to do and can I excel a not…it is not really encouraging as today is the only 7th day in school…and there is like so many days, months and years ahead of me…then I told myself that since I wanted to get into this course then no matter how tiring is it or how tough is it I have to excel no matter what… what I think I can do is also pray hard enough that GOD will bring me through all the difficulties I am facing and hope that HE will hear my prayer…

will time just fly pass

Today is the 2nd week of my studies…still trying to get adjusted to the life of being a student…hmmm….today lesson was alright…all the IS module…today was also the first time typing a essay base on a topic…lucky was not ask to type 1000 words long kind…

Suddenly feel that life in poly will be faster then life in NS…maybe is because in poly there is a study plan and we can see or gauge what will be coming up and get our self ready…and I also feel that time will fly pass even faster when we are looking at event that have short intervals…example if there is 10 week of study and there will be 5 class test…then by the time we sit for the 5th class test the whole semester will be over…

Then in NS is different, we will not really know what will be ahead of us…just like a lot people say “army train people to wait and people always wait to be train.” So in short we guys in NS is always train to wait and wait to train…there for the more waiting time the slower time passes…haha…

Any way I was thinking of a phrase that some one told me, ‘wounds from a friend are better than many kisses from an enemy’. Is this sentence really true? How many can really understand this sentence and response like this sentence? To be frank I cant, I don’t know how to react. I only know, I can’t accept this kind of feeling. So the only way I think suit me was to dig a deep hole and bury the pain and sorrow in that deep deep hole that I have dug. During the digging period is normally what I call the emo-ing period. Then the period I use to bury the problem is what I call the recovering period. Then after the whole process is done, normally I should be done too. Some after reading this will question me, why do you have to do this? Well…mostly I will reply that…Who will really understand your problems? The more you share the more you need to explain. The more you explain, the more you will think of the problem. The more you think of the problem the longer you will take to recover. Worst still if the person you trying to share your problem with cant understand you and start to rebuke at you. Then isn’t sharing with a person doesn’t help at all?

Well, sharing with people do not really help all the time; keeping to yourself does not really solve the problem. But at least if it is a small problem there is not a need a long explanation.

Well people can try to convince me to change my mindset but I will say this; no matter how you try I will try to understand and change if I feel there is a need.
But you don’t want me to care I can just simply don’t waste my brain cell on you. Coz I still got my own life to handle and my own problem to handle too...

Guess that all I will say….

Back to where i have started !

I am back here again... reason I start writing on blog again is most probably I got no one to turn to ba...so pouring my emotion here might be a good solution...

I had a bad start to my new chapter of my life...I should be feeling over the moon yesterday but sadly I wasn’t, if someone ask me what happen to me... I will sure take a super long time to think of an explanation to tell the person. Well...the fact that I have ORD should make me happy enough to wipe away all the unpleasant event...but seem like I am still affected... well...that’s life to me... enough of that...

Well just to do some updating...hmmm....lets start from what I have been doing recently... I have gone back to be a student once again...haha...now I am a full time student of Ngee Ann Poly and i am studying Aerospace Electronic. if have been 3yrs since I last sit down and study...really worried now...but so far my school is still very normal...as in nothing much had happen...just to share my target and aim... I wish and I pray that I can score a perfect 4 of GPA for my dip... I know it is very tough but I believe that as long as that is my aim and I constantly pray about it I should be able to reach my target...nevertheless I have to put in more effort to study or revise all my work too...

as for the Boys Brigade... I am still active...now going through the officer course call the BOTC...which also mean Basic Officer Training Course...and will be going over to Malaysia for a 2d1n camp...rather excited about it...it have been about 10 years since I was in BB... lately I have also been thinking...is it about time to take a break...take a break to seek what I need to seek, take a break to rest for the better? I really don’t know...

now all I really know is that both my emotions and mentally I am tired...I have ever ask my self what I wan in life but I don’t really know...maybe I have a target I cant reach or maybe I didn’t really set a target at all...whatever my past is today will be a brand new beginning...a new chapter of my life...the following will be my target for this year...
Get a GPA 4.0 for the first semester of my studies.
Improve the relationship with GOD.
Must Up-Grade myself for the better.
This shell is my forces...
Hmmm...it is time to put my words into action...
