The old birds were back in SP again today. Me, Chalk, Joshua, Nikky, Shermian, Siyu, Teck Chau and SQ went back SP fc6 for lunch. Think most of us really miss the food there and of course, it was good to reminisce about the old days as well.
Reminiscing would not be complete if we did not make a trip to the place we call "home" in school during our 3 years there. The juniors were in the room when we made our grand entrance. Probably some of them were thinking who the hell are these bunch of people who just crashed into the room without invitation. Of course the room now and the room then is totally different. Gone are the damn old sofas, the filmsy blue cupboard which requires us to hammer it straight during every spring cleaning, the irritating big tables that ate up tonnes of space among many others. But some things are still around though. Like the foldable wooden chairs which guaranteed you a sore butt after seating on it for hours, the black shelf is still around and so are the guitars. We took our leave after a while as it was definitely awkward in there with the juniors even though some of them do know who we are.
Of course a trip down to SP is not complete if we do not sit down and relive the old club days. Which was what Chalk, Teck Chau, SQ and me did at fc3. Recalled all the funny and memorable moments we had in club when we were planning for camps and events. The evo 10 mode 2, the air-con repairman, the helping grandmother cross the road, the human rights, the days of sweat and tears. All classic memories but all of them never fail to bring a giant smile or laughter to our face whenever we relive those moments. I guess SQ hit the jackpot when he said that it was the bond that we shared, the camaraderie that we had with each other that made planning such a fun thing in those days. Sadly, these bond and camaraderie seems to be missing from the juniors when some of us made a visit during the recent fo camp.
Needless to say, we will still continue to go back SP, be it for the food or for other stuffs. And hopefully, there will be a day where we can finally see the bonds and camaraderie return to our "home". In the meantime, let us keep reliving these memories whenever we meet up so that these memories would never be forgotten and it really is one of the finest memories i ever had in my life.
Those were the days =)

Ok, i have been MIA for far too long now. No entries for feb at all and now an entry on the last day of March.
Been really busy with work, especially the month of March. All the weekends were spent working. Never been so tired before. In fact, the next few months gonna be the same as well with all the events coming in thick and fast. The thing that is motivating me is actually the Bangkok trip with the mit juniors in May. Can't wait for that 1 week break.
Think i have made up the decision to go and study. Most likely gonna do Mass Comms. Looking at SIM-RMIT or MDIS-OCU. Im inching more towards mdis at the moment as i will only take 1.5 years to finish as compared to 2.5 for sim. I just want to finish and get the degree as soon as possible which is why i think im moving towards the mdis option.
Heading over to JB with the ict peeps this saturday. At least this is going to be a long weekend for me. Allows me to recharge for April.
I never had any regrets about anything in my life but i guess this will go down as one.

Was on off yesterday and on monday. And im glad i spend my off days fruitfully. And here's how you make full use of your off days.
1. Go for a swim: Met up with teck chau in the morning for a swim at Jurong Safra. That place is looking good. The swim was alright i guess. Did not swim as much as i like to. Stamina for swimming and strength really dropped alot. That's what happen when you don't swim for 1 year. So it was relax one corner in the pool with teck chau.
2. Go back SP FC6 for some good food: teck chau and me then met up with qiuhui for lunch at SP! I sure miss foodcourt 6 food. The muslim stall's food is still among the best i ever had! Took a tour of T19 after that and the whole place has changed. There is even a hill top library beside T22. All these changes really make the place for more chilling rather than study. No wonder its called Chill@SP.
3. Get a new pair of court shoes: Headed over to queensway to get a new pair of court soccer shoes.
4. Went back to my second home, DMIT Clubroom: Visited my second home, the clubroom as well. And can you believe it, there is actually a Afiq's corner for him to put all his nightwalk props and costumes! Like WTF. I don't even have a President's Corner or President's chair the last time i was there. What is the world coming to man.
5. Dinner with friends: tc and me then met up with shermian and siyu for dinner at SIM!
6. Get a new phone: Went to get myself a new phone on tuesday! E72!
7. Housekeeping: Did some housekeeping by tidying my room and throwing away the thrash. Did computer housekeeping as well after i changed my HDD.
So 2 very well spent off days! Next period of holidays will be CNY where i will be clearing the whole week off!

This entry is very very very late. Been like damn busy recently with events. Hardly had the chance to take a breather. I seriously owe this blog a decent entry as well so this shall be it, my reflections on 2009 and of course the year ahead, 2010.
I ushered in the new year at the floating platform coz i was working at an event. First time ever im doing a countdown event and it was great. I had first class seats to the fireworks and this is the first time ever which im so close to the fireworks. I can like see the place where the fireworks are shooting out and the fireworks are like exploding in my face. Throughout that 8 minutes, i really reflected on my 2009. So here goes... ...
2009. A year which i spend most of the time working and working. But thankfully, i still manage to find time here and there to spend time with my friends. But lets talk about work first. Work was one way or another great. I learned plenty during this one year and i can say it was all fruitful. Of course there were the lows as well when my mind was like mentally exhausted and also when i had run-ins with my colleagues sometimes. But all is good i guessed. Did plenty of interesting events as well. So all in all, work was good although i could do with abit more rest!
Ok, enough about work. I went Taiwan for the second year running! This time round i went with my rainbow gang. Of course, i still love the place. The food, the scenery and of coz the "tai meis"! But i still prefer the first time though coz no matter what, nothing beats the first time. That said, i would not mind going back again in the near future. And hopefully this time round, i can venture further than Taipei!
That aside, i really enjoyed the times spent hanging out with all my friends. All the dinner and lunch gatherings, all my juniors' 21st (and a BIG HOLE in my pocket) and all the movies outing. All of it will be permanently screwed into my memories forever. So a big thank you to all my friends! You people truly played a huge part in my 2009!
I went for my first reservist or ICT in October! Fast eh. ORDed just a year ago and im back at Chong Pang Camp! But of course ICT is totally different to when you are an active nsf... More slack you could say =X But is was great catching up with several of my platoon mates again. Although the outfield part sucks!!!
I also ran my first ever 42.195!!! Running a half-marathon was actually one of my resolutions for 2009 and i complete that in August when i ran AHM. But i took the step further and completed the SCSM in 6hrs 15 mins! Not bad for a first timer! And it probably won't be the last marathon that im going to participate in.
Looking ahead to 2010, of course there are several goals which i have set for myself. Firstly of course, start studying!!! I've been dragging on going to study for quite a while already and hopefully, come mid 2010, i will get myself started. Secondly, to pass that damn IPPT. This is really something that will haunt a guy until he finishes his NS cycle. Really got to force myself to train for this. 6 chin-ups and 216cm! I can do it! That's actually my 2 main aim for 2010 and hoepfully a year later when im typing this entry, i can say that i have completed my 2 goals.
Ok, this a long one. Haven really type a decent entry for quite a while. Hopefully this makes up for it!
Signing off!
