I reckon that i've been blogging less during this period of time. Well, i guess i couldnt find the time to do so. Lets see whats there to blog with regards... Nothing really. Haha. Just a few more outfield this few weeks and this coming week i shall have a super long one. Oh, i've borred books from the library to keep myself occupied during the period of time. But still i must emphasize that i hate outfield cover, i would rather be in my med ctr doing stuff.
Just now after swimming, i accidentally dropped my phone in the changing room and the battery came out. Oh dear. The last time i dropped it was one day after it was bought and the same thing happened. And more importantly for this time, the floor is wet. Thankgoodness there is no instant death taking place.
I've accumulated up to a record high of 18 offs-in-lieu and i have to clear them in April, because the limit is 10. Thats it, after the one week long of outfield it would be mass spamming of off. MO says he will fight for my promotion, as well as for ah fu and seabass. Hopefully i get my well-deserved promotion now that i've met all criterias. Its really embarassing when my friends asked me about my current rank.
I think i am getting more and more unfit now after i passed my IPPT weeks ago. Oh well, i guess its exercise time. I must start psycho-ing myself that daily playing of table tennis after work with my colleagues is not equal to exercise. At least not to much of an extent.
There are more new songs and albums coming this period of time. I'm so excited. We have 吴克群、戴爱玲、张栋梁、何耀珊、五月天、etc, publishing new songs. Finally a reasonable surg of new songs after a drought period.
Anyway, QY and Wil came back from Thailand and they bought me a shirt from Thailand. So sweet of them. Haha. But they are leaving for Taiwan next week so we do not really have enough time to really go out or something. Oh well, dont really envy their army life. Still guess life as a medic in a med ctr still rules, and i get combat pay too...just that sometimes the units around have some slightly unreasonable request that we have to comply to thats all.
Ok, thats all for today, shall attempt to blog more next week after my one week long outfield. Bye !!!

Breakthroughs
Ok, the news is out, no more Maple Flag. Coz the medic attached will not come from CPMC. So no more fights over it.
Took IPPT with Ah Fu on monday. I'm glad to announce after 5 to 6 years of failing, i finally passed - w/o prior training. I do not know how, i do not know why, but all i can say is, i took it with a normal heart (平常心) and so i guess the 得失心 isnt that great hence i manage to barely scrape through i guess. So that good, ready for promotion le.
Did a very quick stockcheck on Tues night...did until midnight. Shag. Then 2 consecutive days of duty medic somemore. 大伤精神!
Wed took half day off to apply PDL. On my way to SSDCL it rained heavily and i am terribly drenched the time i got there.
Today is the day, where 2 impt events occured in my life. First, my MOE Teaching Award interview this morning. My father drove me to MOE HQ this morning and it jammed the entire journey there, coupled with the tormenting rain. I was the first interviewee to reach, followed by 3 other. I thought i dressed too simple - long sleeve white shirt founded up and black pants. Waited until 9.10 for interview. Being the first to be interviewed, i was trying to hide my nervousness. Furthermore i didnt prepare for the interview. I just told myself 平常心、平常心、平常心! And yes, i managed to remain my compost throughout the interview. However i guess i didn manage to impress the interviewers. I really cant describe how i fair because i myself have no idea. It is like...in a split second i am answering their qns and next, i am done with the interview. After which, i got this 6th sense feeling that i didn make it. Its like...i didn really perform well enough to sell myself infront of the interviewers. So i guess what i can do now is to keep my fingers cross and hope for the best.
In the evening, i went for my first driving lesson at SSDCL. The instructor was quite okay, but because of my slow pace in learning, i guess i quite irritated him. For half an hour, i repeatedly drive forward n backward. Next, i was told to drive around the circuit which i am not, at that point, mentally prepared for. But i managed to continue my next 1.5 hours driving round and round the circuit until the sky darkened. Basically i was not that sure of the techniques like which pedal to depress first and stuff which i think led to some fustration amongst the 2 of us. Managed to complete my first lesson w/o knocking down anyone, nevertheless to say, kill anyone. Thats quite an achievement i guess. Hahaha. Abit stressful. Oh yes, i ran into Hongjin aka Mother Hong, after the lesson. She going to take her test next tues. Gd luck to her.
Tml morning have Kbox session again. Yay. Hopefully its successful. Ok, thats all. Once again, i really hope i got the scholarship ad hopefully i get to master the techniques of driving soon enough.

SBF
This morning just when i was about to leave the house to apply my PDL, i received a call from mindef notifying me that i've been mobilised. Mixed feelings. Sian being my entire saturday will be wasted by going back to camp. Relief being SBF would finally be over after today and i do not need to live my weekends with worries.
Anyway, MO announced that one medic from our med ctr will be picked for the oversea exercise in Canada. It is the most "prestigious" oversea exercise and instructions from CO is to pick the "most deserving" medic. I know alot of my colleagues are eyeing this exercise for a long time, esp the specs. For me, i do not have any keen interest in going overseas for exercise but for this exceptional case, i really feel some inclination to go for it. I mean how often you get the chance to go so far, to Canada and experience the beautiful scenery there. Definitely a very wonderful experience. Furthermore the trip is fully paid by SAF which makes the opportunity even more rare. Well, alot of the specs are interested which means i have lower chance of being picked. Coz i am not a spec. I was like thinking, getting a man to represent sg for the exercise cover in canada seemed very awkward. Furthermore, i think one or two of the specs that expressed interest are "more deserving" than me to represent my medical ctr, namely Jeremy and my 2IC Kenneth. I will be happy for them if they get picked and i will voiced by support for them to the MO. On the other hand, i feel like giving it a try and maybe if i really got picked, that really shows how much the med ctr recognises my performance, skills and knowledge. So its quite a dilema for me here.

IQA
IQA was held last tues. Fortunately enough, CPMC passed. At least one thing off our mind.
Wed went for 18DA heli lift outfield cover. Due to the rain, the outfield was dragged until very late. Hence i only returned back to med ctr when sky falls. Basically was stoning under the rain the entire day.
On Thurs, i received a call from MOE saying i was shortlisted for the MOE teaching award interview. Woohooo. So happy. And i was to fax in my O and A lvl results and testimonials in by the next day. My 2IC kenneth also got the notification. Congrats to him also. Now both the dispensary IC (me) and 2IC are done for e interview. Woohoo. Nice. It will be on next thurs morning to afternoon. Wish me all the best man. Hopefully i am able to get that scholarship and thus lessen the financial burden of my parents on my future uni fees.
IPPT on thurs cancelled due to rain. Postponed to monday....thinking bout it makes me even depressed. Giv me a sense of failure....
This morning CPMC had its very first master parade. Very lame i know but what to do. Smart 4, beret, kiwi-ed boots, medic arm band...well, you tell me what you think about it.
Might have recall tml morning, which means i may not have time to apply PDL tml for sunday's first driving lesson. Quite panicking. Coz i might face being screwed by my instructor, on my very first lesson. So i put my sunday morning lesson on trysell hopefully able to if not i will be screwed. Lucky enough it was successful hence i booked next sunday afternoon.
Now i shall wait for tml's recall. Hopefully sunday can go NUS open hse (aka my future school) kope freebies, see cute girls and walk walk see see.
Anyway, this whole week i mood swing. Sometimes happy more of the time depressed. Haiz. Someone please cheer me up. Very much appreciated. Argh !!!!

Its Weekend !!!
First and foremost, i would like to wish everyone Happy International Women's Day !!! 三八妇女节快乐!!!
IQA fever continues to strike the entire week. We even have one false alarm last wednesday when someone believed to be pakiah called and say she'll be coming down in an hour's time. In the end, the IQA team went SAFTI MI where my medic friend there alerted me of their presence.
I'm on Mar SBF. Damn sian. Today was high chance there will be SBF. Hence i didn dare to go out. Intended to wait for recall but in the end, up till now, no news. How i wish i can just get it over and done with.
During lunch time, i went to enroll myself for driving lessons at SSDCL. I initially shun away from the idea of having lessons in sch because its rather expensive. However my parents insist that private instructors were unreliable and hence i resorted to sch - on the condition that my parents sponsor part of the cost. My first coming lesson starts next sunday morning. So if you guys intend to hit the roads, please avoid AMK-YCK area just incase i crash my car into you.
Afternoon time went to IT show 2008. Had the intention to find a digicam there at a lower price but the price turned out to be same as normal times. Just a few more freebies thats all. The place is packed. Time wastage to the max. Time wasted to find carpark, time wasted to squeeze thru the crowd, etc. In the end returned empty handed. Most prob settling down with either sonycybershot or olympus digicam.
After that went to cut hair. MO has been chasing after me to cut my hair for so long le. Ok thats all...dinner time...BYE !!!

Not-so-unhappening Week =)
The baby sparks of fire symbolising my "holy" exercise regime this week was extinguished, after 3 consecutive days of exercising, on the thurs when it started raining in the evening after work.
IQA mode started to kick in the start of this week when every single day's routine order was garnished with Staff's IQA "instructions" and the on-coming arrival of ma'am P. Alas, the peak of this week's IQA mode was the arrival of ma'am P on friday where she scrutinized every department's work process, magnifying the smallest possible flaws that can be found thus allowing us to fill the gap with whatever cement we can find within our reach. If not for her arrival i would have taken full day off for my traffic police advanced theory test, which took place in the afternoon, fortunately. The 2 hours of scrutinity i had by her, as the dispensary ic, in the dispensary room was mind-draining but i could made it in time to leave before lunch to prepare for my "all-along-not-very-much-prepared" advance theory test.
Settling down with my long awaited craving for Subway sandwich that noon, i made my way home to spend the last one or two hours cramping answers into my "already-malfunctioned-yet-limited-capacity" brain. Just an hour before i was about to leave for the execution ground, my sis came home to find herself locked outside the gate. Disaster struck - the main gate was stuck and i couldnt get myself out neither can she get herself in. Of all days, of all time, during my advance theory test. Trying to succumb my panic, i tried acting cool and dialled for the locksmith who took his bloody own sweet time to rescue me. Miraculously, i managed to made it right on the dot. Fortunately for me, i managed to pass the test after 15 minute of pressing on the insensitive touch screen computer.
That evening, i found myself a disciple, i mean student, for tuition who happened to be my sister's friend. Finally i am able to exercise my brain a little by tutoring H2 Chemistry, hence preventing my brain from degenerating any further.
Saturday duty happened to be lonely though the presence of many other medic colleagues around. Yes, 2 units had activation on sat but sadly my attached unit didnt, which mean i had to face the hassle of being "shocked" by the "surprise" mobilisation outside during the scarcely sacred weekend and rush back to camp for any sort of activities they want us to have.
The search for the escaped JI terrorist leader was still going on despite days of futile search. Now everywhere in this freaking small island can we see his photo. He can easily be the "poster boy" of the year 2008 in singapore with his face appearing every inch of urbanisation (and perhaps sub-urbanisation) in Singapore. Perhaps Edison chen would be rather jealous of his "popularity" and "press apperance" in Singapore. Well, in this case, no sex scandal is involved. Oh well, the newspaper even published several photoshopped photos of him in different outfit and "cosmetic" appearance just incase there is a possibility he might disguise himself. The MMS plea for citizen's aid in arresting him becomes more rampant than any cute cute CNY greeting message overnight. Nevertheless, someone please arrest him quick !!! If not no one can rest in peace.
