放长周末假期，今天算是最后一天，明天就得回兵营报到。刚好今天是青年节假期，难怪我家那年龄最小的没上学。今早出门也碰到很多学生。 想起来，自己好久没有过青年节了。虽然说自己芳龄19（附加几个月，因为今年过来生日后就迈入20岁关口），但想起最后一次庆祝青年节是中学时候，那时学校还有庆祝典礼来欢庆天下年轻人的青春。到了初院就没什么庆祝，因为刚好碰到年中考试。
所谓青春是短暂的，不饶人的岁月会匆匆地把每人的青春时代带走。所以，我们应该要好好地珍惜这宝贵的十几二十年，错过了，再也要不回来。这时的我开始思考，自己是否在蹉跎青春。为什么这样说？因为我觉得自己并没在进行与享受其他年轻人正在享受的。看看我身旁的朋友吧，看他们是进行什么活动：户外行的会玩足球、篮球、到圣淘沙沙滩享受阳光，宅男行动会玩电动、网上游戏、搞音乐如吉他打鼓等，狂欢行动会泡夜店。。。而我，没什么兴趣，偶然唱唱K，看看电影，逛逛街，生活好无趣哦！
这也怪不得人们把我形容为闷骚。身边好朋友也没几个。常常一天到晚呆在家。偶尔陪家人走走。。。真是所谓的"no life"。但若要我去踢球泡夜店的，进行一些自己不喜欢没兴趣的活动，又对不起自己。好乱喔! 我也搞不懂自己啦！只希望往后回头看，不会觉得自己浪费了青春。算了，祝天下年轻人青年节快乐！

TP Here I Come !!!
Took off today and managed to snatched a mid-morning driving lesson slot which i attended. Today's lesson officially marked my end of the learning phase, i.e. module 1 to 3. Now i am left with the last module which is revision and preparing for the ultimate TP - 31, 32 and 33 !!! Though i am rather not confident, but i am keen for my TP day to arrive - 8th Sept HERE I COME !!!
Ok, afternoon i had nothing on so i went swimming with JL who also happened to be on off. Tml sat my colleagues (forcefully) jio me go clubbing but i havent decide on whether to go. Basically i've not gone clubbing before. I do not enjoy loud music (or shd i say noise) and my parents dislike me to reach home late, not to mention clubbing = reach home in the wee hours like 3 to 4am? Sure kena hanged. Nonetheless i feel that i've grown so old and yet to experience what clubbing is like. So its quite a dilema here.
Anyway i am on off until monday. Returning to work on Tue morning to be greeted by a reservist MO who according to Seabass who already ORD-ed, he is very very fierce. Oh well, gd luck to me. As for now, i shall concentrate 100% on enjoying my off !!! Bye !!!

Long Time No See
Oh well, i guess i am back from a hiatus of blogging for the past few weeks. I've been very busy. Apart from covering a 4 days outfield (suddenly thrown to me) and lots of weekend duties, i've yet to get sufficient rest. Oh well, there is so much i want to blog about but i do not know from where and how to start. But anyway, i shall continue blogging this weekend when i have more time and also, more substantial and concrete things to blog about. Bye.

PC Show 2008 + Incredible Hulk
Went to visit PC show this afternoon with my ex-colleagues. It was chaos there. Didnt manage to get anything out of it. It was quite a waste trip. We initially thought of watching Incredible Hulk somewhere near there but was kind of discouraged by the crowd. In the end we went back to AMK Hub for the movie. The movie was kind of okay, just that at many times the sound was too loud for me. After the movie, i went dinner with my family and bought 1 shirt and 1 cartigan at a total price of $22. Okay, tml i will have to report to camp for duty. This coming week will be a long one. Hopefully the crisis in the medical centre can 守得云开见月明。

Friday The 13
The spotlight is on my medical centre for setting the record of having the most BOI and creating the most trouble in the corp. This made CO extremely unhappy with us and hence everyone else including CO is going to come down hard on us. A surprise visit by CO excavated so much problem in us that questioned our capability in handling the calls of needs. The absence of our MO due to a very long oversea trip has seen the work ethic of the med ctr deteriorate to a devastatingly record low level. The recent passing of 2 servicemen has turned the spotlight to us medical service providers - are we competent enough to handle such serious cases? The rippling effect of this would be stronger emphasis on our work procedures, medical skills and also daily 4 man drill, which were kind of ignored during "time of peace". A 4 man drill done this morning has surfaced our level of incompetency in handling urgent medical cases. Everyone was just too rusty after a long period of hiatus (of 4 man drill). As part of the 4 man drill this morning, i also felt hopelessness in the way we handle a mock casualty, so to speak for a real one. I agreed with my store ic that we should have daily 4 man drill to sharpen our skills. He commented that, rather than being ticked off for being incompetent while performing a long-time-no-do drill, it would prove better to do the drill daily to ensure our performances were of tip top condition. At least at the end of the day, we learn. While personally, as a NSF, i do prefer a slacker life in my 2 years serving, but sometimes, we should just never take the easy way out in some procedures. What must be done, must be done. While it still makes my blood boils to see one or two of my colleagues totally display no sense of commitment during work, causing the rest of us to do their portion of work, it serves as a mirror for me to reflect on my work ethics as an individual. Well, i admit i have alot of room for improvements, especially in my medical skills wise. While it is just 2 years of serving in the NS, but i have landed myself in one of the most useful vocation. Just like the saying goes, no one is here by chance. As a medic, after i ORD or ROD, when in times of need to the people around me, i have to believe that i CAn make a difference. Rest assure i've not been totally brainwashed, but it is just another random entry nothing to do with the title itself. Happy Friday the 13...
PS: Happy birthday to our dear docu IC - JM !!!

Kungfu Panda
Went for dinner and movie after work with one of my SMTI friend last evening. Basically full gear bitching about camp's work during dinner at PS Cartel and then went for movie at The Cathey which cost each of us a bomb in the tix. Watched the animated movie Kungfu Panda. All i can say is, it is really made suitable for children. But whats better than a brainless laugh after work where you need to stress about 101 things every now and then. Reached home around 11.30pm. I slept...

Karaoke @ Topone KTV + GSS 2008
Went karaoke with my friends at Topone KTV yesterday. It was my first visit there, just like the rest of my company, but we had fun. At least we found another good place to K in the future. Well, immediately after giving tuition yesterday, i had a quick shower and rushed down to Bugis to join the rest of my friends who already booked in earlier on at Topone. I had no trouble locating it and immediately joined in the fun as i proceeded up via the lift to 3rd storey and entered room 302. The room was rather small, compared to the usual rooms i got during my visits to Kbox. Nonetheless, the ambience was there and the songs were pretty updated. The thing about the song chosing system in Topone is, it has a console at the corner of the room for us to chose our songs. As the screen was rather large, i was rather tempted to use it like a touch screen console but was constantly reminded by the rest that there was a "keyboard" for me to press. The system was rather user-friendly, though there would be certain degree of unfamiliarity at the start.
Another thing about Topone was the endless free flow of drinks we can enjoy. However, it was only limited to the 6 types of cordial drink which tasted rather diluted. Well, at least we got ourselves fairly hydrated to the extent of frequent toilet usage. It was made known that we can change the ambience and stuff of the room by pressing the console keyboard, for e.g. disco, soft, stage, etc. Nonetheless, no matter which ambience button i pressed, all seemed the same to me, i.e. no observable changes. What bothered me the most was the smoke button where once pressed, there should be smoke coming out from all corners of the room to give those high class seventh-month getai feel. No matter how many times i pressed, there was no smoke. It was later figured out the smoke function wasnt functioning as stated in all other rooms when Jas made a sneaky attempt to enter other rooms after the session to try the button.
One thing i love about Topone was that I can change the key of the songs. I was rather bothered by the fact that most male singers' songs were of too high key for me while most female singers' songs too low. Hence, it allowed me to sing at a comfortable key by having the power to dictate the key of my fave songs sang yesterday. On our way out of the place, i felt that the lift smelt of bbq food only to realize a steamboat stall at level 1 which was the likely source of contribution to that. Overall, the karaoke experience at topone was rather nice, given the long hours we have, the freeflow of drinks and the price of 20bucks nett.
After K, we went across the road to Parco Bugis for dinner followed by shopping. As it was Saturday night, in compliment to Great Singapore Sales 2008, the crowd present was remarkable. We did a fair share of shopping at Parco Bugis where everyone except me got something. Well, i have to defend myself for that, quoting the reason that i am a very difficult shopper. I would walk around the mall 3 rounds surveying every stalls' quality and price before settling down to what i should buy (though most of the time i did not buy anything in the end). Furthermore, when i see clothes or apparals that attracted me, the first thing i would look out for is the price. If it was above my budget (most of the time they were), i would give up and continue looking other place. Hence that explains all why you all should not go shopping with me. I was specially taken to attention to the fact that some mid-to-high range branded stalls offer lousy quality apparels and clothes at extremely high price - totally not worth the purchase. Nonetheless, they still receive high degree of patronage hence i shall not further comment on the stupidity of these consumers.
Oh well, i took off on fri and will be on off tml (monday). I managed to book a driving lesson tml morning 8.15am last minute-ly, after my auto driving lesson today. Did i even mention how easy to drive auto cars are? There will (likely) be new medics coming in tml which i do not have the privilege to meet them first-handed. Oh well, things are getting mundane. Its time to spice up my life !!!

National Runway Cycling & Skating
2008 National Runway Cycling and Skating organised by SAFRA and PLAB was held at PLAB runway this morning. And i was one of the fortunate few RSAF medics involved in the cover for this event. We were basically deployed out in the runway in seperate First Aid post, each far apart. Me and Jeremy were paired for post 8, which was situated somewhere in the mids of the runway.
The day before when we gathered at the medical centre for briefing and recee of the ground, which happened to be my first time entering a runway, i realised how large a runway was. Basically when our minibus took off for the runway, driving from one end to the other to show us our various first aid post, i was shocked to know its size. I could hardly see the end of the runway and i felt as though the bus was going to take off into the air as it sped down the runway. We were briefed of all sorts of possibilities in terms of types of casualities, major or minor and hence it was our responsibility to keep on a constant lookout.
This morning, we all assembled at the medical centre at 6am sharp. I woke up at 5am, which was very very early. Upon arrival, we had our arrival, a quick last brief and off we went to the various allocations. Just before we were deployed, there was a quick rain which sort of cooled down the area but soon enough, the sky was cleared and the sun rose as usual. Standing in the mids of the vast runway, i could roughly spot the carnival tentages and estimate the crowd. All our first aid points were unshelthered which means we stood in the middle of the runway with our stores only, braving any sort of weather that torments. I believe that there could be a higher chance for us to get heat injury than any of the cyclist or skaters.
At 8.30am, the sun was up and everyone gathered at the starting point. The ground was just starting to warm up. As the GOH flagged off the participants, i see a big flock of them raced off from the starting point. The race had 3 categories - family route (shortest), leisure route (15km) and endurance route (>50km). Me and jeremy witnessed them cycled past us. Cyclists and skaters of all sorts, competitive and non. We even spotted familiar faces. The event was grand.
Soon enough, it was around 11am. The sun was almost directly and vertically above us. We were all sweating like pigs. All the participants ended their tour around 11.30am and we were all asked to stand down. A minibus came to pick us up from various deployment grounds and we were back to the medical centre where lunch and a small debrief beckoned.
In summary, i think it was really a great experience for me. Not only is it my first time entering an airbase runway but also my first time covering a big public event where i had the chance to attend to and interact with the civilian casualties of all ages (fortunately for me, they were all of minor bruising and abrasions) which i do not have the opportunity to in camp. I even attended to a 7 year old girl for cuts and abrasions. Seeing smiles of gratitute from the people we attended to gives us a genuine sense of satisfaction.

蚊子咬咬
刚从传闻中的双溪阁栋军营与外野cover回来，被当地的蚊子与sandflies咬到不堪。尤其是我脖子前那没被军服遮住的部分，更是被咬到起肿，有如蜂症病似。相信这几天一定很多人会“关心”地问我那儿发生什么事。好痒呀! 4天3夜的外野受训，真叫我这个城市男子吃不消，回来那霎那，直接往厕所冲去清洗一番。
明天早上得到PLAB报道，attend这星期天runway cycling的briefing。之后可能会和同事吃午饭，可能与朋友去游泳。这周的忙碌，就有来临星期一与二请的假来补回吧。好了，就让我这个四天没睡觉的人去好好仆从睡眠。晚安!

Finally Promoted !!!
Yay !!! I'm finally promoted, after the tough fighting by my MO (and me). Well, at least one thing off my mind and i wont be bothered by peers and friends asking me why am i still a PTE or a LCP. I went Golden Mile to sew rank on 3 of my number 4 and 1 number 3. Basically took this hassle because i do not trust those neighbourhood PRC tailors who do not know the SAF standard. I still have 2 more number 4 in camp which i will sew next week if i have the time.
I gave a miss to 2 social gatherings this weekend because i do not have the time and mood to attend. One being my colleagues clubbing outing to Dbl-o and another my class outing at ECP.
The weather for these few days quite good so i still managed to find time for a swim ytd. Done my haircut and then attended driving lessons as usual. Had no time to play Cabal which i installed last week. Tml will be in camp doing Vesak Day duty which i shall spend doing my May'08 Dispensary Stockcheck. Will be going on a 3 days 3 nights outfield cover at the legendary ulu ulu Gedong this coming week which i fear and dread. Oh well.
Just went to AMK Hub to stock up my tibits supply for this coming week and the outfield. Initially went to the lib, trying to borrow some books for the outfield to spend time but didn manage to find any because i simply dont read books. Anyway, after the week long outfield will be runway cycling cover this coming weekend. Busy busy week ahead.

Driving
Heh, just received the news that SSDCL will be moving to its new premises in Woodlands in April 2009, which is less than a year from now. Hopefully i am able to get my license before it ever moved there. Currently halfway through my driving course, lets hope its smooth sailing. If by then haven get license i dont know how liao le...because it is said that trainees will have to resume training in the unknown ground of woodlands if they have yet to attained their license by the time of moving. Jasmine told me she failed her driving test again. It is her 3rd or 4th one, i am not sure. Just as i joked to her i am catching up with her and might get my license earlier than her, i fear for the worst that i suffer the same fate as her since i have brain-hand-leg coordination difficulties. Hahaha. Oh well...lesson resumes this afternoon, lets hope i can learn fast, pass fast...

Swim ~ Sun ~ Tan =)
The weather these few days were HOT. I guess its going to be hotter these coming few days. So hot that i have to seek shelther in aircon room. Just booked out from med ctr this morning and went for a swim with long-time-no-see JL at yishun. Oh man, the amount of sun casted upon us was encouraging. Had some suntan lotion applied on us and we remained in e pool for an hour or so. Thankgoodness i applied the suntan lotion if not i would be burnt. I am enjoying every bit of the sun, the swim, and of coz the babes!!! Ok, waiting for driving lesson now. This month 5 weekends burnt wor, including yesterday's duty. Haiz....and can anyone quench my aggrevating kbox thirst???

Tired
Don't know why these few days returned home from work feel damn shag and mentally drained. Maybe its because i am growing old. Yar, entering the 20s club soon in a few months time. Soon enough all of you can call me uncle instead of gor gor. Haha.
May timetable is out, its bad. Lotsa outfield and weekend duties. I still object to the idea of sending 2 medics for the same oversea exercise but its the higher authority's final decision so i shall not challenge it. We will just be in deep shit la, with manpower shortage after 3 ORD, 2 gone overseas and 2 starting to clear off. When the 2 come back from overseas, they will be clearing off also, so its rather taxing on the rest. Whatever lar, i should learn from YS, saying "its not in my scope of concern" but then its way too early for me to say that. Helping with the oversea stores for the drugs part. I plea to them not to touch the drugs because i do not want to mess up my stock balance. I will help them gaodim everything swee swee from head to toe for the drugs part. Kind of hard and restricting on them but i have no choice. Its either they die in the shortrun or i die in the longrun.
These few days no time to exercise. Arh, fk...damn unfit already. Maybe the reason for my recent shag-ness is my physical inactivity. Whatever.

Ken Lee
After working for 3 months and more with my dedicated Dispensary 2IC Ken Lee in CPMC, i find him to be a very hardworking, dedicated and outstanding colleague of mine. I am really glad to know him as a person, as a colleague, as a friend. As such, being CPMC's dispensary IC, i shall specially dedicate the following video to my favourite 2IC Ken Lee =)

$10 Cut
Alright, i am always skeptical about those $10 haircuts which sprouted all around Singapore's neighbourhood centres and shopping malls. It is now a past phenomenon but their presence still prevails significantly. I wanted to go back to my usual barber shop for an haircut (juz b4 my MO can nag at me to do so) but upon arriving, i realized it was closed. Hence, i LLST have to visit the $10 cut at AMK hub near my house to get my hair done.
As i decend from the escalator, my eyes started observing the $10 cut shop, my mind still filled with skeptism, thinking could they do a good job. But out of desperate measures, i have to patronize them. As i enter the shop, the barber, or wadever u call them, greeted with a smile as i slot my only $10 note left in my wallet to the money eating machine that vomitted a card as a "by product" of its money meal. I was offered a sit where then i told her i need to have a cut, make it short, sides must not touch the ears and stuff because of NS. I added that the fringe can be shorter but plz help me layer my hair so that i can style during weekends. Without much hesitation, the barber started processing on my hair.
The time taken for my hair to be cut was real damn short. The outcome was satisfactory but i feel the sides were abit too high. But its much better than my worst thought - too ugly that i needa shave my head. The barber handed me my free comb and i walked out thanking them, in my mind thinking if i look okay with this new haircut... ...

赶场
Ytd was a busy day for me because i had to rush to meet 3 different groups of friends from morning till evening. Lets talk about the morning one, i took a train to Marina Sq to meet up with Wil, 大只and phee for K lunch because Wil just came back from Thailand a few days ago and will be flying for Taiwan today. So yes, the K lunch was satisfactory except that i get to strain my vocal cords a little by singing the more difficult songs like 你是我的眼 and 一眼瞬间.
After K lunch i rushed to vivo to meet up with my CPMC colleagues. They basically went sentosa that morning to celeb farewell for 大牛who will be going for his BMT recourse. But on my way to vivo, they told me they were coming back from sentosa hence sparing me a trip to sentosa. I guess the sentosa trip has turned them into lobsters as they were so freaking red after much exposure under the sun. Had lunch with them till evening where i rushed to meet up with my lower sec classmates.
First met Jas at Harbourfront MRT and then the rest drizzled in. The turn up rate was disapointing but the most impt thing is, i am not the organiser so its not in my scope of concern. We had dinner at James' fave Whitedog cafe which cost us quite a bomb but its ok. Oh well, i can tell that my e5 exclassmates were still relatively the same so theres not much to comment about.
After the dinner i went home to watch my fave 超级星光大道2. Today and tml on off. Yes, clearing off by order of snr medic. Now i fuck care bout manpower problem in e med ctr for this month coz its clear off month. I've done my outfield oso le. So yeah, later got driving lesson. Ciaos.
After K lunch i rushed to vivo to meet up with my CPMC colleagues. They basically went sentosa that morning to celeb farewell for 大牛who will be going for his BMT recourse. But on my way to vivo, they told me they were coming back from sentosa hence sparing me a trip to sentosa. I guess the sentosa trip has turned them into lobsters as they were so freaking red after much exposure under the sun. Had lunch with them till evening where i rushed to meet up with my lower sec classmates.

I Cooked Fish & Chips !!!
Ok, i confess i am a great cook. Haha. Yeah rite. I prepared dinner tonight, which was fish and chips. This is the first time i am trying to cook this and it turns out to be a success. I basically transferred what i learnt on TV about cooking chicken cutlet on the frozen fish bought from coldstorage and it turned out fine. Yay!

Firefly + Rejection
Just came back from a 3 days outfield at Simpang area. It is always excrucinating for me to go outfield for i cant stand the boredom and deprivation of both tangible and intangible comfort. Nonetheless, it widened my "myopic" sight and experience as i got to, for the first time in my 19 years of life, come in contact with Firefly ! The occasion occured around 7pm during my first night out there as i was resting in the tonner facing the bush. As the sky darkened, i spotted specks of lights appearing on and off around the bushes. Upon closer observation, these lights started to fly about randomly only to my realization that these are actually fireflies. These beautiful little creatures never came across my thought that they exist in Singapore, a relatively hot and humid habitat. They were actually smaller than i thought, or perhaps they were smaller version due to the harsher condition here. But these little shining creature served as a form of consolation to my "terrible plight" of being stuck outfield.
I got back home only to find a letter lying on my study table. Upon opening it, i got a letter that reads disapointment into my eyes. Its a letter from MOE telling me that my application for the teaching award is unsuccessful. At that instance, i just stared at the letter blankly. I was rather surprised, after that, with my reaction for i felt no dispair nor disapointment. Perhaps i did not take the application too deeply, or perhaps i was too numb. But still, it took some time before a little disapointment set in. Its not for the money but for the recognition, pride, honor and prestige that matters to me. I think my friend and colleague Kenneth has a high chance of getting it for he is more charasmatic than me and can better express himself to impress the interviewees. This natural charisma is a very vaulable asset of his which i do not have. It is hard not to feel a little sour if he gets it and not me despite my "better academic results" but as a good friend of him (i treat him like my bro) i truthfully congratulate him and wish him the best. I will be happy for him, really. As such, i should now work learning to put this chapter of my life to an end and carry on with my life, you know, move on. As i said in my MSN nick, I didnt manage to get it, but its ok...人总要从挫折中学习更坚强 .
Am going for a long break soon. I took off on monday and tuesday hence i will only return to work on wed. Long weekend. Perhaps i need some time to take a break, reflect on my life all these while before recharging and moving on. Yes, move on, I WILL move on...
