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:

[quoted 6th December 2009]
Birthday wishlist:
1) PS3 + HDTV
2) 100k @cash
3) Refurnish my room
4) More time away from army to play maple
5) Complete bmt recourse in one piece
6) Complete UMPOC and promote to 3SG
7) Reconnect with long-lost friends
8) Celebrate my first birthday with that special someone
9) Have my first birthday party at home (BBQ/Steamboat/Potluck/Buffet)
10) ORD!

1) Well, I have the HDTV now, but still no PS3
2) Got it!
3) Nothing happened to my room
4) Got hacked so screw this
5) Done!
6) Done!
7) Fail fail fail. In fact I felt that I made more enemies this year
8) Did it! (:
9) I heard it was arranged but cancelled due to great-grandma's death
10) It's coming soon!

And thus, my new birthday wishlist:

1) ORD ORD ORD ORD LO!
2) Have a room to myself and renovated according to my wishes
3) Get my driving license
4) PS3 or KINECT


Last but not least, have a happy new year guys!

15 days to 21st birthday. 42 days to ORD.

Oh well, here I am doing my 3rd duty for the week. And while trying burn some time looking at other people's blogs, they didn't update. Hmmm, it seems to be an increasing trend that blogger is being used much less. Due to the presence of twitter and facebook, blogs have turned into an obsolute social network tool. Personally, I still like to blog as it allows me to pen down my thoughts, vent my frustrations and share my happiness. And the best part is it wouldn't talk back to me, or be a wet blanket.

It seems that the ORD mood is in town. Or rather, in my bunk. For the past 2 weeks, the bunk hasn't been fully present in camp. Kinda miss those days whereby everyone is sitting around the table, eating snacks and talking cock. For me, tomorrow is my last working day, then I have combat shoot on Friday, a COS on 28th Dec and it's off/leave till ORD! Sounds happy right? Well, I don't know if that's what really making me happy. My boss just asked me if I'm interested in extending my service. Well, to provide administrative support to the unit and stuff. Can't talk much about it but it has set my mind thinking, especially when I'm not the only one with such thoughts. Will think through carefully and not make a hasty decision!

And once again, thanks to Zhenyang, Hanwei, Priscilla and Weiting for being the beacon of light during my dark time. Sometimes, it's these small gestures which tell you who your true friends are.

Who the fuck did I think I was? The world doesn't revolve around me and there is absolutely no reason to act like a fucked up kid who wants the world for myself. I totally deserved what I am getting and even though I might not be dealing it in the correct way, I don't really care. Because I'm fucked up.

Never thought that the best friends one can get actually come from the virtual world whereby you don't even know who they are.


I'm not hosting the class gathering for Christmas anymore. Neither am I organizing the house visiting for Chinese New Year anymore.
