Aite so its gonna be over in about 4 days. I think its tough going off. Although we don't really like the monotony of the life in tekong, or the tekan sessions, or even the time taken to travel there I guess we'll all miss the place a bit, yeah?
Was on the train with Wai Lun and Yan Han, two of my section buddies. I could feel the sadness in the air. Not just A level sadness (for them), but also some of the leaving our friends behind kind of sadness.
Well the trip to the Singapore Discovery Centre was, in short, a waste. I enjoyed it, yes. But I felt it was pointless. Felt that I could've done something better within that time frame. Oh well, nothing I can do about that now.

Army Highlights
1. 24km route march
Had it in good weather, unlike the school 2 people. The first 12km was more challenging because of the uneven, rocky terrain, as well as the heat of the day. It was the night march (2nd 24km) that I enjoyed much more. More songs being sung, some encouragement going around here and there. In between there were snacks like bananas, H2O and cakes given to us, which were great morale boosters. Once again, no injuries.
2. OC night and Recruit's night
Got a chance to perform the guitar during both nights. We played the song Aloysius composed. I'm glad I had the chance to perform on stage. I guess not many other people can say that they've ever performed on a stage in Pulau Tekong. We won OC's night, but probably got 4th or 5th out of 7 on Recruits night. Doesn't matter though, cos we all had a good time.
3. Parade Rehearsals
The boring part of it all. Waking up early in the morning, getting dressed in parade attire, marching all the way to the parade square in port arms, and repeating the same procedure over and over again doesn't do good for your brain. Enough said.

Well collection of As. Booked out at 1145am, reached pasir ris bus stop at 1335 due to a lack of transport. However, made it on time for the getting of results at 1435. Was the last guy in the queue cos I arrived late. By the time I reached Mr Wong I was a bit afraid, yet confident of how I did.
Before Mr Wong started talking I took a peek at the results... And was extremely glad with what I saw. And I thank God that everything went well. My act of worship was a success. I commited myself to aceing As, as well as passing NAPFA last year, and to do it successfully tells me two things. Firstly, my dreams are aligned with the will of God. Secondly, I truly am very blessed my a God who loves me deeply.

Went out with Gerald, Shu, Amanda, Mel, Grace and Paul for their dinner, and then ice cream at cold rock. Got to know a bit of stuff thats been going on when I'm not around. Glad that everythings quite ok.
Ok a personal request from me: Everytime you see Daryl tell him to study hard/smart ok?
