"Proceed, Over!"

 

Hohoho! What a day it has been!

Today was my first day at Team Alpha and boy, was it a memorable day! haha.. Being the most 'on' team, there's alot of tradition inside man!

I'm posted to DOR today and wow, it was really an incredible experience for me! Started off slow initially but it gets better after I got the hang of it. I could even do some things on my own! "Juliet to 1R4, standby for 1 message, over!" hahaha..

The job was a bit tiring especially when a lot of msgs come at the same time but I guess the experience and skills gained makes it all worth it! Dunno what I'll be doing tomorrow and the days after but no matter what, I'll gladly accept whatever is assigned to me.

-----------------------------------------------------

Every day is a new challenge for me. And I'm going to take them up positively. =)

Fatigue

 

First is the posting. Then came the location. And now, it's the team. What's next? Hmm, maybe I'm fated to do things by myself.

Oh well, you just got to accept certain things in life. But who knows, maybe there's a blessing in disguise in all these.. =)


I'm tired and in need of a good rest...

The start of an end..

 

Oh well, tomorrow is the start of my new journey. Another chapter of my life will begin. New environment, new colleagues and new jobs... hope I can adapt well to them. On our visit previously, one of the personnel there told us that we will gain more experience and stuffs here than other places. He said that if we can handle things here, then NPCOs' work is no problem for us. Sounds hard but challenging isn't it? Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to the start of these 'interesting work'.

Work starts tmr but here I am feeling a little feverish. Great!

It's hard..

 

As I walk towards the main gate for a final time, I took a last look at the buildings and people around me. Blk 11, 12, barracks, the mess, the drill shed, track, field, the unity square... all of which have been my home and 'playground' for the last 4 months and they seemed to be waving their imaginary goodbyes to me. I looked around again and saw many trainees being released earlier from Blk 12 than other days. I realised it's friday today. It's a book-out day where many trainees look forward to but sadly, it's also the day where I'm bidding my farewell to this training ground.

As of today, HTA will no longer be my 2nd home to me. I'm leaving that ground with memories, mostly good. Bidding goodbye is hard.. always..

Goodbye HTA and its lovely occupants! Till we meet again~!

Bunga yang mekar indah, tidak bisa lagi kunikmati indahnya dengan sempurna,
semua tertutup kepedihan hatiku.

Kicauan burung yang merdu dan juga kupu-kupu yang terbang anggun,
tidak lagi menarik hatiku,
semuanya, tidak seperti yang kulihat biasanya.

Mendung di hatiku membuat semuanya tidak indah,
membuat semuanya ku tatap dengan kekosongan.

Kau adalah mimpi,
kau adalah cinta abadi walau tak harus aku miliki.

Selamat tinggal duhai cintaku..

Sabotage

 

What happens when you have a feedback session, the Bravo Coy commander, a few indiscreet squadmates(who happily leaks out things they know) all put together into one classroom? You'll get a person named Fandi into trouble!! Great!

Shucks, I didn't know my face turned red that easily.

Transitional Period

 

Today is the start of my week long PIC/DCOA course. It feels weird to come in to HTA on a Monday morning but I feel glad to see some familiar faces again. The lesson itself was fine though it can be dry at times. Been appointed the squad's IC, mostly because of the 4 'v's on my shoulders.

Will be going back again to HTA tomorrow. The same routine till Friday. Damn, I have to start saving for my transport and meals already.

-------------------------------------------------

It's the start of my transitional period today and already, I'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms. My mind was wandering somewhere else, not focussing on what's being said or taught. Let's hope I'll survive this ordeal..

I wish things were much more simpler. Sigh..

Last day at HTA

 

So, that was it. Yesterday was my last day staying at HTA. It was our last stay in our barracks, had our last meal at the mess and formed-up as a squad for the last time. It was a day of embarkment, a day of departure. It was an emotional day as well as everything ends. Even Nature was crying for us too. Squad 50 became separated at the MPH as everyone went off to their individual postings. It was a sad moment as I rode in the police van and left the premises on the way to Juliet division.

Though I will be back again next week for my course, things will never be the same again. I will never get to see people whom I want to see and the same feeling will never be there again. Everything will ceased. Sigh...

Another Chapter of my life has ended..

---------------------------------------------------------------

Goodbye love..

When happiness turns into disappointment..

 

Sometimes life can be funny.. You can be feeling very happy one moment, but 24 hours later, your morale can drop to a very low level.

Just came back from my POP a few hours ago. Well, we managed to complete 3/4 of the parade when the downpour came and drenched us. Felt a bit disappointed that we didn't get to complete the whole parade. But it's okay, at least we 3/4 is better than none.

Got my posting from OC in the morning. Was shocked and a little disappointed when he announced where I will be heading to. But nvm, I believe there is a reason for everything. And I believe in Him. Shall just see what's in store for me. =)

Tomorrow may be my last day at HTA. Hopefully, it will be a good day and I'll get to accomplish what I've not done yet..

Pics of the POP will be uploaded when I'm not feeling tired anymore.. Adios!

Best Squad!!

 

Yello!!

I'm back on midweek coz.... it's POP tomorrow!!! WoOoohOoOo!!! Everything about the event has been set and ready! Let's just hope the weather will turn up good tomorrow evening.. *prays hard*

Some funny things happen these few days. On my last night at HTA (yesterday), I was having fun with my squadmates and the new 'mangkoks' when my nose bled!! It was so sudden man! And before I knew it, my blood was dripping onto my bunk's floor! Shucks!! Luckily it didn't last long.. If not, I have to call someone from bravo coy for help! hahaaa..

And this morning, on my last early breakfast at HTA, I took coffee as my drink! All my 4 months I've been drinking either Milo or Tea. So that's a first on the last morning! hahaa..

Oh yeah, at this point of time, I'm proud to announce that my Squad 50 has been awarded the BEST SQUAD of the whole 125th intake!!! OH YEAH!!! I'm so so proud of us!! Five-O, Five-O will always remain in my heart forever!!

Okie dokie, got to sleep early. Tmr will be a busy day! hahaa.. Oh, and I hope Ms 'Anyhow Only' likes the gift!..... Anyhow only!! hehee.. Ciaoz!!

------------------------------------------------------

I'm feeling ecstatic now!! WoOoOhoOo!!! What a delightful day!!

Termenung panjang..

 

Why is it that whenever someone around me tries to tease or disturb a girl, in the end, it's always me who'll get into trouble?! And this even happen sometimes in the academy! Shucks, this is not fair la!! hahaa.. Oh well... -__-

Anyway, had a talk with my bunkmate yesterday, and I realised that as my BMT period approaches the end, I'm beginning to open up myself. Have NS life 'opened' me up? Maybe.. hahaa.. But I sure feel & behave a little different from my pre-NS days.. lol

Was at the barber just now, and as he finished cutting my hair, he commented(in malay), "Don't stare blankly into space too much. What's done is done. Just do what you have not done yet." Wow, I didn't know someone, a stranger, can easily notice if I'm "termenung".. haha.. But what he said is kinda true huh? Maybe I shouldn't think too much.. Hmm...

-------------------------------------------------

Success! It's ready on time!! Phew!!! hehee..

Left, Right.. Left, Right, Left!!

 

Hello folks!!

Am tired, tired and very tired because of the you-know-what rehearsals. Luckily we need not need to stay back too late on this final book-out day!! Wow, I can't believe I'm saying this but this will be the final weekend before I passed out of the academy!! Time flies so fast man! And I actually can't believe I'm already 4 months into my NS.. haha..

Anyway, it's 3 days more after this Sunday and I will passed out! Yeah, that'll be only few more days left to enjoy the bright mornings and starry nights!! This is depressing!!=( hehe.. But on the other hand, me and my other squadmates have been pretty excited in guessing what our postings will be.. hahaa.. Hmm, let's just wait for the day to come.. lol

Anyway, I wanna congratulate one of my squadmates for winning the Stattuete award for being the best trainee for the whole intake!! *round of applause* hehe... So proud of him and the squad. Maybe we'll win the Best Squad of the intake too!! 5-0, 5-0!! hahaa.. Just like what our squad t-shirt says below...

Yeah, the squad t-shirt is ready!! And I think it's very cool and nice, design by our very own designer who's bed is just next to mine.. hahaha.. Can't wait to wear it next week! hehe..

Oh yeah, I took over the squad timer's responsibility this week! Left, Right.. Left, Right, Left!! hahahaa.. Though it can be tiring at times, especially when you're on the run with M16s, I feel it's kinda fun to be the timer!! hehee... And I feel it's one way to contribute something to the squad before we passed out! =)

Before I sign off, if you're reading this, help me pray for good weather on
11 Jan's evening okie!! Everyone has been working hard for this event. I hope all our efforts wouldn't go down the drain just like that.. Let's hope nature will be kind to us! =D

Ciaoz~!
---------------------------------------------------
Let's hope tmr will go as planned.. *prays hard*

She's back!!

 

Since my comp is temporarily okay now, I'll make full use of it! hahaa..

Ever since the weekend started, I'm gorging every food I could get my hands on. All types of food have become victim to my hungry stomach. I don't know why I'm so hungry. Hmm, maybe when you're in a good mood, you tend to be like that. hehe. And all this gorging of food also means that I'm growing fatter!! That's gd news!! wahahaha!!!

Oh, let's welcome dear MeiFeng back to our homeland after nearly 5 months or so in Norway!! WoOohoOoOO!! Welcome back Melody!! I'm sure you missed hot and sunny Singapore!! hehee =P

Okie, going to book in soon. It'll be the 2nd last book-in tonight and 7 more working days to go. Hmm, my days in HTA is drawing to a close. =( But I can't wait to book in tonight for some reasons!! hahaa.. Quick, time go faster please!!! hehee... Till next book in, Adios!! =D

------------------------------------------------------

You can close your eyes to things you don't want to see, but you can't close your heart to things you don't want to feel.

HaPpY nEw YeaR!

 

Just a short, un-detailed update of my week.

WeekdaYs

Practices after practices for the POP. Friday was the worst so far, having to stand under the hot sun for a few hours. Luckily I got some time off though due to my 2nd
SOC/PMU interview/selection.. hehe..

Saturday

Went back to my Marsiling home to pack all my stuffs in my room. Didn't realised I got so much things! haha.. Boy, was it tiring.

Was assisting this stranger lady with her shopping trolley, and the next thing I know, my mum was talking to her. Amazing!! haha.. She happened to be one of my mum's "Quran recital and memorising" student! What a small world! hahaa..


Sunday

Hari Raya Aidiladha. Same programme every year. Went for prayers, visited late grandparents' and uncle's cemetries, went to eldest aunt's house and back home.


Today

Went out with family. Had great time with AlYa! And saw a beautiful rainbow on the sky!! SWEET!!! Hehe..

B4 I forget, Congratulations to one of my friend who just got attached yesterday! WooOot~!~! hehee.. That would reduce my already short "Single Friends" list by one name.. Suddenly, I feel so lonely... Bah!! hahaa..

Phew, I think it took me triple the time than normal to write this update! And my hands are all tired now! Ciaoz!!
HapPy NeW 2007 to one and all!!! CHEERS!!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Though clouds are grey and hard wind blows, it is through the rain that the rainbow grows.
