sorry guys for not updating in quite a while!
was kinda tired over the past couple of weekends due to the never ending rifle drill sessions n rehearsals for POP.. came home on fridays with sore feet and tired arms.. not wanting to even touch the computer or get outta e house..
anyways, i passed out on 11th jan! which was like 2 days ago.. the parade was a big cockup i suppose.. coz all e response i've got was that the GOH (nspi) marched like >.< and to add on to the cockup, it started raining in the middle of e parade HEAVILY. parade commander gave a run command, stunned every1, and every1 just started running n shouting. haha. just like a bunch of monkeys.
anyways, im posted to the coast guards and will be attending a 10 week training at brani base.. heard its a new place.. so i suppose im kinda lucky haha.. kinda glad ive got that posting coz its smting which i wanted all along w the v handsome uniform hahaha -=x
so passing out wasnt that a happy thing after all.. seperated from all your friends you've lived w for e past 4 mths.. kinda sad to part w e squad but its inevitable that somehow we part one day. had hiccups here and there between people, but i suppose it doesnt matters anymore once you realise that may be the last time u see that particular person again for e rest of ur life.
oh wells, so kinda excited now to report on e 22nd.. meanwhile have to take up a crash course at HTA.. have absolutely no idea what its abt.. so will update again soon =)

i've got 50 mins to update this before i leave house for HTA..
been sucha long time since i really did any updating on this blog.. of coz lots have happened over the past few weeks..
firstly my SBT.. did i mention it in my previous posts? i did pretty badly for SBT coz of some major cockups.. but still considered as quite ok i suppose..
nx came law test which made e whole squad damn stressed.. everyone was like practically reading up notes, textbooks etc etc one nite before the test.. turned out to be okay even though most questions were nv seen before in the mcq practice questions..
nx came my bday! 21st bday spent n 'celebrated' in camp.. pretty quiet and low profiled 21st i must say.. but thanks to all the guys in camp who gave me a i-dont-know-wat bath on my BED.. was great fun though.. and also thanks to all those who wished me well thru sms-es or fone calls.. appreciated that.. but somehow i was kinda disappointed in some things that i've expected but did not happen.. shall not say more of it.. just let it be..
n its xmas today! im booking in later by 2100 hrs.. so had a mini bbq w yy sc ss cl and jy at my place.. talked cock..ate lots.. n walked over to east coast to play w some sparklers to get some xmas atmosphere by the beach.. burnt my thumb by the sparkler though..had one big blister on it.. went back to my pl after that to exchange presents between all of us.. thanks guys for all the presents! haha.. first time i bought so mani xmas presents to exchange.. v fun i must say.. sent em all home after that coz its pretty late and didnt want em to take cabs..
ohkays.. i better be going.. gonna look for some bks to read during my hell lotsa free time in camp.. lets hope it rains everyday nx week! so all i nid to do is to eat slp eat slp n eat. -x

I AM 2KG AWAY FROM MY DREAM WEIGHT!! :D:D:D
2 more kg to go.. 1 month and 2 kilos to shed :x
if you're wondering, i'm 81 now.. 8-9kg lost since poly days. haha..
n i lost a kg miraculously last week while not doing anything..most of my time was spent walking arnd, slping in bunk, sitting in class for lessons, doing 'ten year series' for law exams.. bla bla bla.. nothing physical at all! i could've just worn a set of PT kit all e way for one whole week :D
SBT (scenario based test) was over as well, had 2 sessions and i think first session really buanged. dont wanna really talk abt it. in case anyone's wondering, sbt is a test whereby real life situations are enacted and tests us on what we are supposed to do as policemen :S
law exam's coming in a week. guess it'll be rather okay as well except for the procedures part. its a super buang-ed section lah.. 2.5hrs.. mani mani questions.. :S
went down to maybank to collect this cute looking security token for internet banking.. now logging online for banking svcs are so troublesome as well :(
this is a rather random post.. just thought it'll be nice to write something after so long.. haha..
anyways, POP IS COMING SOON!! but before that, the new intake is coming soon too ok e 12th of dec! WOO HOO!! that leaves us w one month of full teasing and disiaoing lah :D

hoeis!
last week was supposed to be a shiong week in camp, at least for the first 2 days. but somehow or other, it always rained at e rite time just before e shiong activity was abt to start..so the week became damn slack that i dont even know what am i doing in HTA.
went for 2 excursions this week, to places of worships and also to the police heritage centre. both were kinda cool coz we get to waste half e day away outside camp :D an hour in there is an hour too long yea..
so also had our psychometric test done which took a whopping 2 hours. basically test of ur aptitude and yada yada.. cant be really bothered coz im not aiming for neighbourhood police centre officer :D im aiming for aiport patrol! :D imagine the proximity to my house, the stewardesses to ogle at, and the sat ki-ness of carrying mp5s n walking arnd e airport :D
the 126th intake is coming in soon! and we're all pretty excited about it coz there's soon going to be a batch of people for us to shout POP LOH! at. haha.. i noe we're mean, but i guess its kinda of a tradition/culture/cycle that every1 goes thru :D imagine shouting that in their faces. bet their hearts will definitely sink w a wide open jaw :D
had shooting test in e previous week too.. got myself a marksman :D:D wooh hoO! tot i'd settle for a second class coz they took the lower score of both shoots. thats damn lame lah.. and i thought i missed alot in the frame.. apparantly all my 60rounds hit e board :D n yea my revolver was CROOKED. =/
i think thats a pretty long post.. stop here i guess..
p.s. kAo. i have to go back by 2000 on sunday evening. SIANSATION! >.<

wooh.. i've switched to the new blogger beta.. dono whats new or up with it.. but i suppose everything remains much the same..
have not been updating for a fortnight.. life's pretty fun over at hta.. finished w several tests already.. first aid test was long over and everyone passed.. then came PDT which was pretty bad.. but i suppose most of us passed as well.. its not exactly that simple coz theres just too much things to remember.. not easy at that.. then came ippt.. haha.. im pretty short of a silver.. coz of my SBJ..9 more cm before i reach my silver.. a low quality silver but its okay! its still a silver isnt it..
in case u guys are wondering why am i home on a monday nite, thats coz we've been given a long weekend.. booked out last fri at 3pm (beat that! who gets such great ns life) and booking in only on tues 8am. haha..isnt that great! but the schedule nx week is still unknown.. guess theres a tinge of suspense among everyone.. think theres going to be a drill test as well.. SO MANY BLOODY TESTS! haha. oh well..
anyway.. im kinda tired now.. havta wake up at 530 tml morning.. as usual lah. but i think i cant wake up that early on my own bed in my cold air con room.. where its all warm and cosy under my comforter.. :S

went on to watch deathnote last night with natalia and merry at cathay cineleisure.. quite a good show i must say.. at least it keeps my mind moving and eyes glued onto e screen.. good story w a great mix of humor and suspense.. to be continued in deathnote 2 soon i hope..
so met up with ks and his frens after movie at cuppage afterwhich went over to PS's starbucks for a cuppa.. stayed around till 1am talking abt his weird encounter with this girl he met thru irc.. haha.. a ns guy getting stalked by a girl.. thats damn interesting la.. went to esplanade after that to sit down n continue the tok cok session all e way till 3am.. e rest went home, and i stayed on alone along e 'beach' for a while.. sat and let many things run thru my mind.. from the past to the present.. from now till the future.. weighing things as to which is important and whats not.. self reflection and looking back as to how dumb i was.. so many things that i cant remember..
walked to nicoll highway after that.. almost reaching kallang before i took a cab home.. a long quiet walk along the streets.. reached home damn late that i dont really rremember when.. KO-ed e moment my head touches the pillow..
am going back to HTA soon in like a few hours.. next week will be a busy week.. good in a way that it takes things off my mind for a longer period of time.. time will pass by very quickly and soon it'll be the nxt weekend already.. life goes on as a routine.. blah..

As promised, here's an update =)
Life's pretty good over there in HTA, doing routine stuff everyday. The usual jogs, lessons, PDTs, firing etc etc.. nothing worth mentioning of actually.. Its already my 7th week in HTA, and time do really flies in camp. going to book in alone later, and will be out on friday again =) thats sucha gd life baby :D
still pretty unsure of my future at this point of time whenever my bunk mates started asking abt what im going to do after NS. i have actually 2 choices now:
1. take on a part time degree course at MDIS if i land myself into an office job for my NS vocation
2. leave singapore to take on a course at the university of portsmouth
at this point of time, this are the only 2 real options that i have. of course, the singapore universities route is still open for me..even though singapore unis are prestigeous in terms of reputation, it will take me damn long to obtain a mere honors even with a year's exemption at NTU. time in NS is passing faster than i thought, and in a few mths time i have to start making preps for my further studies.
anyway, went to sentosa last saturday on deepavali. man it was crowded with u-noe-what. dont wanna make racist remarks anywhere in my blog. things didnt turn out as expected as the stall at siloso was closed! that means no more frisbee vballs and kayaks to rent. think we're really mountain turtles coz we've not been to sentosa for a damn long time. for me maybe almost 3 years :S had some gd fun there before heading over to vivocity for dinner at carls. it was DAMN crowded lah. as if the whole of singapore was there, deserting orchard n town. bloody hell. so went over to ps for a drink at starbucks before making our way home..
在这七个礼拜里,许多人都问我:“你是否有个女朋友?”
而我的回答一直以来都是:“没有。我已经单身了一年多了。”
他们又问:“为什么不去找一个?”
我没有办法回答他们。
一年已经不知不觉悄悄的过去了。这一年来,有悲有喜, 日子过的马马虎虎。我也
很想要向前走,不过回忆无时无刻都会涌入脑海里。就有如昨天晚上,我不知道我
们是好朋友,或者比朋友来的多。我猜想,你只是把我当成一位朋友,最多也只是
个有如其他的好朋友。不过我却很明白我现在对你依然还有感觉。我的目的从2005年
9月30日那天没有改变,就是希望我们的关系不只朋友那么简单。
一年多了。你是否记得当初你对我做出的承诺吗?我天天都在期盼那一天的到来。
不知那一天是否会到来,或者我是我一直以来都在不断欺骗我自己。

hey!
i think i didnt blog last weekend coz i was so burnt out! but here i am again :D
the previous week went by pretty fast.. coz i took 2 days of light duty. didnt wan to get any light duties coz i wanted a clean record.. but in e end my knee just gave way. it was a knee sprain which was that bad, i couldnt walk/climb stairs properly without a huge limp. so took to the M.O which gave me 2 days light duty. sian! its damn boring to be in light duty.. coz all i could do was just to WATCH what e others are doing. total boredom :D
ippt test held yesterday.. and sad case coz i cant take it coz of my knee. missed one chance for ippt. but i think i still flunk my 2.4 by a few secs.. its now down to 2.4 and sbj. apparantly every1 failed at pullups, and i can pass tt station easily! hahahaha! working at iras was a gd idea. coz i trained for pullups w cl durnig work :D slackers unite! n he can do bloody 12 now. mangko. >.<
oh well. i think im going ot settle more stuff now. have to get my lifesaving cert dug out. nid to submit to swimming lessons.. aha.. sad.. alrite.. maybe i'll blog again on sunday before i book in.. meanwhile take care all!

HI! im back!
haha.. yesterday marks e end of e 2 week confinement.. and man! those two weeks were damn hard to pass. was like counting down to bookout day since like e 2nd day w my bunk mates. bunkmates are a bunch of damn funny people, and supposedly every1 has a nickname that starts w 'boy'. like theres boyparrot, boyfart etc etc. haha.. im not going to say mine though :D
training hasnt really started coz of imf whereby almost every1 were deployed. but i guess it'll begin soon :) actually i dono what im supposed to or not supposed to say coz we've been warned damn sternly dono how mani times abt e consequences of us blogging whatever thats inside there. so well.. not gonna say much :D
anyway i havent really lost any weight,n i tink the difference between me enlisting and 2 weeks later is my hair cut. am a mangko now, thats what they cal botaks. haha..
the best thing is that i get to have a 5day work week as compared to army. hahaha! that means im free on friday 6pm to sunday 9pm :D song bo! :D
guess i'll go out later to get some things for my stay in, and also to get some presents for pple as well.. i believe so many things have happened during my stay in, and also things are beginning to change. i can sense it v strongly, even though its not that obvious yet..

today's e last night i'll be holding onto my pink ic for e next 2 years! and im officially going botak and becoming a NSF in like 8+ hours?
had done quite a lot of thinking recently over the past few days, mulling over things that i shouldnt and also things that i should. thats what you do when boredom from all the free time gets the better of you.
i think i owe some people a sincere apology as i've yet to really done so. i've disappointed one person greatly since last year and earlier on this year, and i know i've hurt her a hell lot. i should'nt have done certain things that gave out wrong signals, or any wrong intentions. and for that i'm really, sincerely saying sorry to this person who may or may not be reading my blog. this sounds pretty cliche, but i know that a word of sorry will not serve any good given e hurt i've caused, nor does it really suffice. i know you've moved on since then, and all i can say is to sincerely wish u all the best.
theres also another person whom i've hurt, and coz of it we've grown further apart since that one fateful night. i know that she doesnt reads my blog, but i'll still say it here. i don't know what other things to say, but also another word of sorry. i know karma will soon catch up with me, but i still wish for the two people whom i've mentioned well. =)
and to yet another someone, i've actually planned to spill out whatever thats kept in my heart for the past donkey months to her. but yet i didnt muster enough courage whenever i see you in person to tell you what i've always wanted to. on e 10th sept one year ago, i was a happy man. but i've failed to keep the relationship going, for maybe it wasnt that strong after all. i still miss you, and those msges that were once sent were still kept in my hp. thats why i've been very reluctant and hesitant about selling my hp, for it kept so many memories of us in the past. i really did wanted to tell you in person all those that i've said earlier on, but well, balls shrunk i suppose.. what i do hope for, is that you still remember the promise made to me in the past. i will remember that promise for as long as the place in my heart is still filled by you, and i do hope that you wont forget it as well..
this sounds like sucha pretty sad post, but hey! on a lighter note, i'm pretty excited to get enlisted tml. a brand new kind of life, a brand new beginning. brand new friends, brand new environment, and of coz a brand new experience. a same old brand new me! :)
have pretty much finished packing my stuff, going to hit the bed soon and enjoy my air con fully =x will be confined till the 22nd of sept, not very long i suppose. so if anyone miss me (i hope there'll be pple who does), drop me a msg or give me a ring at night! i'll be more than free to entertain you! :D:D
thats all! cya guys 2 weeks later`~!

today marks e last day of my 2 months stint over at IRAS.been great working there..knew lotsa cute n fun pple..pple like maya who loves to tok cok w me..can talk abt anything under e sun.. vincent who talks v loudly and say that we 'talk cock very loud. tok abt pple very soft', zaini whos always beo-ing at gals, aminoor who is e ultimate gayboytoy, zahara who has a super wide smile tt brightens up any bad days, justin who looks dao at first but warms up long later, and erni who loves to say 'whats e problem?' in a trying-too-hard-to-be-fierce tone, and vin who's supposedly e unlucky person with all e computers tt he used, lifah who is kpo n loves to 'what what what' and sing all day long. haha. that hv been a damn long list la.. anyway i think i gonna miss those pple over there :D especially my supervisor who seems to be pretty bo chup abt things! i lIKE!
bought chocolates for e pple i knew there, and gave one to GIAN (oni cl knows who is gian). man she has a sweet voice! too bad she's attached else heh heh heh. but i think im regretting that i didnt get her frenster or number or any form of contact. ohwells =( at least i gave her a bar of chocolate which she said was 'wow so cute!' haha =x
looking back its been a rather long time since graduation. i think i still remember e final paper which is on 28th feb if im not wrong..and i have been bumming arnd since 1st march till now..which adds up to about 6-7 mths. man i've aged. haha.. how time flies man. lets take a look at e jobs i've taken up huh..
1st job: 3day stint at AIA stapling papers and putting em in envelopes
2nd job: 1mth presenter job at sci centre, knew pple like justin (not e iras one) cecilia nicholas n bryan
3rd job: 2 weeks ACCA invigilation which pays damn well
4th job: 4days communicasia exhibition as usher where i got to noe pple like celin jiahui and shun ping
5th job: 2months job at iras as temp tax assistant
so whats next? 11 days later, and i'll be stripped of whatever hair i have on my scalp, n start waking up late n sell my life to e SPF =x oh well at least i wont be termed as a chao recruit like they do in tekong.. pretty looking forward to it, but i doubt my fitness is ever there yet. 2.4 timing seems to improve, but is it a real improvement or what i call a pseudo-improvement? ahahaha x= at least i can make it for my pullups now.. managed a 7 few days back :D 1 more pullup than my originally set target of 6 when i leave IRAS =x things and barang barang are more or less packed in, just need to organise n sort things out. must remember to bring my underwear coz i've yet to pack it in.wahaha! imagine going into camp w/o any undies. SAD CASE MAN! =x
hmm.. time is really running short, and i ought to enjoy my last few days of zobo-ing living life to fullest. n i foresee myself spending lots in e coming few days.. hais.. what mixed feelings abt entering spf =(

i suppose when things are meant to be broken, it will. No matter how many times u attempt to fix it, somehow or other it will.
one of my prized possessions broke today. its e 3rd time it broke since i've got my hands on it. no, its not my iPod, nor anything expensive. just a keychain, which has a meaning so dear to me.
it has been almost a year since i've got e keychain. was given to me by someone w her name on it. coincidentally, it was given to be coz it broke while she took it out from her bag, and i fixed it that nite at e void deck, twisting metal w my bare hands tt both my hands turned sore. but she just decided to give it to me coz i've fixed e keychain and wanted me to keep it.
ever since then, e keychain broke several times, and each time it broke, a fear came over me. i feared that i may nv be able to fix it again. but everytime, somehow or other, i managed to fix it no matter how it broke.
tonight, it broke once more, and as usual, i fixed it as well. but how much longer can this fixing last? does it mean that e day e keychain breaks beyond repair, is the day that i will leave everything behind me? blah..

每当这种事发生的时候,难免会觉得非常无奈。想尽了办法逗人开心,把不愉快的事
情都忘记,不过都于事无补。久而久之,无奈的心情越来越严重,直到一直都会有
想把一切都放弃。 告诉自己:“陈炳宏,这会是最后一次。不会有下一次,以免让
那无奈的感觉浮现。” 不过, 每一次都会软下心来,不想看到自己曾经非常喜欢
的人难过。
当一切都到了现在这种地步, 或许真的是时候放弃一切, 把一切都包起来, 收进
脑海里的回忆了。不是我不想再尝试,而是我已非常的累了。不断的尝试,都是一
样的回应和结果。
我所做过的事情,你是否知道,是否知道我所付出的一切呢?
我累了。这次是真的累了。

Operator: "This is (I forgot what name) calling from CMPB. We've read your letter sent earlier on this morning, and your enlistment date has been finalised. Actually, your enlistment letter has been sent out yesterday. You should receive it sometime around these two days."
Me: "Oh.."
Operator: "Your enlistment date is on the 12th of September, at the Police Academy."
Me: *eyes wide open* "Come again? Police Academy?"
Operator: "Yes."
Me: "OK! Thanks alot!"
