And this shall be my blog post to end the year 2010.
It's been a rough year for me. It started with me going back to Tekong for my recourse. Met great friends, Jonathan Chiam (BMT BUDDY!), Chun Peng and Jin Tong (POKEMON BUDDIES!) and the rest of Yankee Platoon 1 Section 3.
However, I also experienced 4 deaths of my extended family members. It's the first time I was involved so heavily in funerals.
After Tekong, I went back to 23 SA to welcome the new batch of GAs posted in and met more great friends. Yan Tao, Zeke, Zheng Wei and so on.
Then, I was also promoted from REC to 3SG in the short months. Increased workload and responsibility. Camp discipline also stepped up.
Volunteered in the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in August. It was a fun filled event and I felt that I am really involved in Singapore's affairs for the first time in my life.
In September, I went for my first holiday since enlisting in Apr 2009. Hong Kong with family, and followed with Malacca with camp mates. Then, I went to Oklahoma for Ex Daring Warrior for a whopping 30 days in November. And it ended with Brisbane and Gold Coast in December with JC friends.
And ultimately, the handing over of 23 SA Chief Admin Supervisor to my understudy, Harold.
Last but not least, I have to make special mention to these guys. Without them, life in camp would suck. Thanks to Mong Kheng, Yang Yi, Timothy, Norman and Hayden for being such great friends throughout this year, tanking COS and all sorts of rubbish together. Now that we are coming to the end of our NS term, I hope our friendship will last far longer. (:
And last but not least, I shall review my New Year Resolution for the year of 2010.
[quoted 3rd January 2010]
And my 2010 resolution is being set by an evil someone who wants to be less evil but cant help herself to be evil. So ya, will try to be nicer to Baowen.
Apparently, this failed terribly. And so I shall set a more realistic resolution for 2011.
My new year resolution:
To reconnect with long lost friends and mend damaged relationships from 2010.
And also, my birthday wishlist for last year:
