Back from Reservist . . .
Hi all. Been a while since I last updated my blog. Well nothing much happen today. Just that I am so happy cuz finally, I got someone whom I can trust to buy my game account. I am quitting the game so I guess I could make some money by selling it away.
Just completed my reservist in-camp on the 13 December. Been busy the past 1 week. Catching up on some work and preparing for my new job hahaha. Well the last few days of my in-camp was really fun. We had our final missions. It was really cool. Learn a lot more and finally I am signal trained hahaha. Well its not much actually but enough to setup the signal set and listen for instructions and orders. It was quite tiring but fun altogether. Stayed overnight in the forest hahahaha.
Few days after the mission, its the end of the in-camp training. Everyone is going back to their normal daily life. Kinda sad cuz all of us hav to go our separate ways. Really looking forward for the next reservist which is next year in September.
Nothing much after that actually. Celebrated my nieces birthday on the 13 Dec. Hmmm finally I realised how fast time flies. They grow up so fast. Went to my friend's wedding on the 14 Dec. Congratz to Yusri....hahaha be a good husband, I belief u will. To all my students in West Grove who got their 1st choice sec school postings, GRATZZZZZZZ. All the best and hav fun in ur new school. As for me hahaha, I am posted to my new school too. I will be teaching in Fuhua Primary School. Dats all for now. Signing out.

Flag Of Our Fathers . . .
My 2nd week of In-Camp Training is over. 1 more week to go. Last week was great. Its one of the most tiring week. We had several outfield BCS Deployments. The terrain and weather really shacked us out.
I was browsing the net the past few weeks and something inspired me. It was the movie 'Flag Of Our Fathers". Its about the battle between the US Army and the Japanese Army at Iwojima. Basically, there was a picture that showed a few courageous US soldiers sacrificing their lives to prevent the US National Flag from falling to the ground.
During our outfield deployment, hahaha we actually made our very own "Flag Of Our Fathers" photo. We really had fun during our outfield training. We cook and dine in the forest hahaha. I was really happy to be part of the 811 SIR BCS Platoon. The team is great. Our leaders are great. Well I guess We form up our very own Band of Brothers.

1st week of reservist is over . . .
Hi all...dun really hav a chance to post anything hahaha...was in army camp last week. I was serving my reservist. Two more weeks to go. Nothing really special actually. I report to Nee Soon camp on Tuesday morning. On Wednesday, was told to report to Clementi Camp and there is where I am going to stay for the next 3 weeks.
Basically, on Thursday and Friday, I was suppose to sit for my rifle shooting test. It was a really sad occasion. I was really dying to get Marksmanship for the test. Altogether, I was given 15 bullets for the day shoot and another 15 for the night shoot. To pass, I am allowed to miss 14 bullets but to get marksmanship, I can only miss 6.
During the day shoot, I got the highest score in my company. I only miss 1 bullet. But during the nite shoot, its kinda impossible to see the target in the dark. I hit most of it but I think I missed some. So my total points is not high enough to get Marksmanship. So saddddddddd...
But the good news is, I am among the best shooters in my company. Well, will try again next year. I believe, the next one, I will be getting the Marksmanship.
Ok...thats all for this week. Will be goign back to camp tomorrow morning. Will update this blog again next weekend.

SDMA . . .Finally its over
Hi all...was too tired to post anyting on Friday and Saturday. So today, the posts will be for Friday and Saturday too.
Friday was fun. Spent the whole day with my Media Tech Club students. Its their final day to finish up their SDMA project. So far, everyting is right on track. I can see some potential in their works. Hope we win our school an award. That's gonna be my last contribution to the school before I leave tomorrow.
I was in-charged of the group doing a documentary about Heart Disease. Its really fun doing all the planning and filming with them. I believed I made the right choice in choosing these 2 teams. Fazirah was great as a host for the talk show. Qhumairah and Erinda handled the equipments well. Eunice was good with the storyboard drawing and together with Nadya, they directed the whole show well. Good job girls...really proud of you. Great team work. At 4pm, its time for them to leave. I just need to prepare the paperwork for them for submission. Its kinda sad cuz its gonna be my last time seeing them. Will update you all when I noe which school I am going to.
Saturday was not bad. Was at home the whole day. Did some reading., played guitar and watched dvd. At night, went to Johor to lepak with my friends Gaffar and Zul. It was really fun hahaha...we hang out, chatted and gossip all nite long. Reached home at around 4am, continue my reading till 6am and fell asleep.
Today, hahaha...just stayed home and spend time with my novel. Just finished preparing the submission paperwork for the SDMA project submission. Tomorrow, gonna drop by MOE to submit them. Tomorrow is my last day in West Grove. Really really really sad to leave all my friends and students hahaha...To my media tech students, all the best guys. Hope you enjoy ur 2009...
