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.

my hangout places Hmmm...let me see...well usually patronise the cafes (Starbucks, Coffee Beans, Gloria Jeans, etc...).
Occasionally, I do hangout at Johor till early morning...and for a great meal, SPIZE The Makan Place is 1st choice...lol.
bands / singers I listen to all kinds of music from all kinds of languages. As long its nice to my ears, its fine with me.
But I have a few favourites of my own. I really love Coldplay. Their latest song "Viva La Vida" was great. Me and my brothers do jam their songs once in a while. "Jie Kou", a classic by Jay Chou from his old album is my fav chinese song. From our local band Electrico, their song "Shadow" was superb.
past time
I love playing music. I play guitar (acoustic, electric & bass guitars) and I have all of them at home...lol just a small collection. I play a bit of piano, just songs that I liked. I learn on my own, never went for any courses. Well, I am planning to go for piano and violin courses in the future hahaha. Wish me luck...!
food & beverages Anything that is HALAL...meaning no pork and MUIS certified. Some favourites that I have are Italian & Western food.
As for snacks, a chocolate milk tea with pearl & a butter waffle at Gek Poh complete my tea break LOL.
vacation destination If I am given a choice, I would love to visit India again. I was sent there during my Army Days for training.
The place was really cool...nice weather, nice people, nice history and beautiful places...Incredible India.
