oh ya and i'm on amber alert too -.- *which means if there's a mobilization, i will need to be back in camp in an hour (which i will already be) and start calling NSmen to go to their mob centres.

GOOoooaaallllll.....!

played soccer this evening with those old guys again..

guess we didn't really get off to a good start getting knocked out twice very early. guess we weren't that used to each other's game and stuff. then we sorta discussed what we would do and where we went wrong and guess it must have worked..we won like 5 in a row (:

then our young legs gave way (actually not very young, i have a torn ankle ligament, terence-my as1 had prob sth do with his ankle as well, and brandon-my ops spec has/had back problems, my ops clerk had a knee op) and we bowed out graciously. quite pleased la..scored think twice through out that run of games (: prob assisted a few and definitely made a couple of saves.

well..think i need to train up kenneth haha..i wanna play upfront and well i'm no longer the keepr i was in sec sch leh (boy that was a long time ago.. sheesh!)

and yes i still think of playing soccer 5 times a week :P

blehh

played one of the worst games of pool in a looonng looonnnggg time. excuses i could give were probably not used to my cue, too dim, too little practice and i boil down to the only other logical reason, i'm not good enough ):

sighhh

chalk! 2nd tournament

me and my guys are running our 2nd chalk! tournament on the 4th and 5th of Nov. Details are at the chalk! website (available from the "chalk!" word at my aboutme or here. if you've got any queries, feel free to ask! thanks!

and p comes before q!

yes sarah, at least you got it after some time. i tell you army dulls the mind..told my campmates and most of them didn't get it la. =/ toots.

yay! tennis today was quite fun, though its quite hard to teach when i'm like so lousy. well at least two things came out of that. 1) i think everyone had some fun at least, 2) we got to play soccer with some old men. hahaha..we were like leaving then i was like asking my friends, "eh want anot? just ask lah, no harm..!"

so we got to play like 2 games with them, first one we totally were all over them, but the second..well, i think they knew how to control the game and we were all so tired by then lol. yes, we got owned but i think we played well :P got an invite to come down every wed to play with them, which i would prob do from now heh. think have to tape + ankle guard my ankle haha..will play like max of 5 times in a week lo.

and yes, p comes before q like i before u! :P

grow up.

silly notes of life in the army

like duh?



this one's better. "weak lamp posts" ROFL! :D

hungry cats in camp

yeap you got the title right. see, when i was having ICT on friday and looking after the food for the NSmen, there was this cat which snuggled up to me. guessing it was hungry and stuff heh. was kinda docile (right word?) too. here's some pics:




and then today while having lunch there was another one and boy was it hungry..










































check out the claws! *gasps*


and in (less) hungrier times (:

if i'm not alone, why do i feel so lonely?

i think i live in a world of pain. physical-emotional pain. maybe its what keeps me going, maybe its what keeps me awake and aware, maybe its just there. maybe.

good news is that i don't have to take ippt anymore. bad news is that its because i've somehow managed to tear both ankles' ligaments. prob a minor tear but bad enough to give me pain. and really i have had no idea why its like that or how long it has been or what caused it, i'll just take it along as i go.

counting back 6 months ago. i guess things are completely different. back then, i was just looking forward to turning 21 and then right after that, i guess things really move along differently. back then i had many more friends or 'friends' then i do now. back then i believed in a lot more things then i do now. back then i guess i was more foolish then i am now. back then was in the past, i'm living in the present now.

maybe its a set (and sad) formula, that you have friends = you are popular + life is blessed. and maybe if you choose to follow your dreams, dreams = -ve friends - populuar - blessed. is it always true? maybe if you add success + dreams = many more friends + more popular + more blessed. well it seems to me its true, not ranting or anything but it only feels so superficial to me.

4 mths ago i embarked on a path that certain pple were not happy nor comfortable with. many have asked, 'whats wrong with you?' or 'its bad' or 'you had better stop' but no, i persevered on. i still stand firm on that. its never wrong to chase your dreams, your ideals but never lose hold on your beliefs. you can compromise on your work, you can compromise on your time, you can compromise on your rewards but never compromise the very essence of your beliefs.

i'm sad at times when i think about these things, to think abt just giving up when it gets tough, but then i realise that if i do, i'm just bowing to 'popular' pressure. i don't have to be like anyone, i am myself and there isn't another me. i want to hold my head high and say, thank God for giving me enough. enough to fulfil the path You've chosen for me. not too much that i may think it comes from me nor too little that i fail to see Your providence. but enough.

i'm not alone, but sometimes it feels that lonely. maybe its the weather, cold/chilly/rainy that reflects my thoughts. maybe i'm just thinking more and looking less. maybe its just me. maybe.
