Fun Filled Week

Phew... after so much preparation for SAF Bands Annual Dinner 2006, it was finally over last night, and i really do hope everyone enjoyed themselves to the fullest. I know i did, hey and guess what... I won myself a DVD player... haha 1 of the top 10 prizes for the evening (7th to be exact)

Before i carry on with the Anuual Dinner, let me mention abit on Sport day too... This year is my first sports day with SAF Bands, and will also be my last. Its held in camp and I would say its kinda enjoyable, but very tiring in my case... as i was selected as one of the runners for 10 * 1 km race... Was the 2nd runner, were in the lead, but from 3rd runner onwards, the gap was closed in by Central Band, and they were the winner in the end. According to some news i recieved, i clocked in a timing of 3.13mins for my run, 10 sec slower then the fastest runner in the race (Vincent), and in 2nd place... haha didn't know i could run that fast... well there is always something new that i can learn about myself... heez...

Here are some of the pictures taken on that day
With the games all done, the officers entertained us with some "fancy drills" and showed us how the PROS do the job...

Not forgetting our very "garang" and patriotic bass drummer for the contingent... haha

haha, guess thats all for sports day... think i will mention more about Annual Dinner in my next entry, if not its will be so flooded... heez... ciaoz for now...

COG Support week...

Sunday burnt!!! had COG support today... haha the weather was weird, as we were leaving camp its started pouring and seem like its going to be a long and draggy rain. But the moment we got to the istana, it was bright and sunny... sianz...

Anyway, its didn't really concerned me, as i was reserved, so my job was to sit and wait and feed the mosquito as the rest carried out the parade. Learned my lesson from the last parade, returning to camp with many 'presents' from the 'locals' (aka mosquitos). So this time around, i brought along insect repellent, the SAF type, highly effective. Use the traditional "tissue" method learn in BMT, when mosquito coil is not an option. First take a piece of tissue and apply some insect repellnt to it... make sure its evenly spread. Then roll it up to look like a tube.... fold it to thicken it then burn one end. Put out the fire and the smoke will do the rest of the work. Highly Effective, didn't got bitten at all today... heez.. try it!

While looking for the insect repellent yesterday, found a journal that i have written during my BMT days, recorded my everyday life in tekong. All the ups and down, read the first few entries and memories of it started flooding my mind. Think will find time to edit it, then type it out, whu knows, one day you might find it in the best seller colume of all bookstores in Singapore. haha...

Guess thats all I have for the day, tml off, heez can slp longer liao... think heading to town to check out on phone and stuff... for now.. just slacking my life away... heez... 5 more days to Dinner and Dance... can't wait!!! Tata for now

Down with flu... sadz...

SHOO FLU BUG!!! don't bother me!!! haiz.. been sneezing non stopped since i left camp today... at first i thought someone is thinking about me... if that is the case, the person must missed me alot coz i haven't stopped sneezing since i got out of camp hours ago... but i guess its just the visit from the flu bug... of all time, THE WEEKENDS ARGH!!!

One more week to SAFBands Dinner and Dance, the last I will be attending... very excited, compared to the last one, maybe its because I have know more people this time around... I am in charge of the prizes this year... things are more or less settled on my end... just a couple more payments is required before the delivery... Haiz, was suppose to have help, but apparently the HELP wasn't much f a help. So i ended up doing everything myself... We had audition for that evening's competition, This year's standard way surpass last year standard, its gonna be a tough fight for all...

Today they picked team for Sports Day, my first in NS history... event i am involved in, Makan Sutra and 10 times 1 km run... hahaha actually isn't really ready to take part in any... but since i am in... just go with the flow i guess.. hopefully my flu will recover by then...

Tommorrow, dragonboat training... not sure if i can make it in my condition... so sickening about the eBay incident, won the bid fair and square, but the seller refused to let go the product... if that is the case he shouldn't have bid it in the first place... so sickening... haiz... but watever i guess... this is one thing that is out of the control...

Sunday, COG, i am involved, but doing support this time round... sian... haha luckily i am reserved... so just sit in istana and feed the mosquito in there...

Guess thats all for this week... dun really have the mood to blog... coz of the running nose... *sniff... will try to post pic the next time... i promise..... for now... have a great weekend ahead everyone... ciaoz...

First sat of the new month!!!

Finally the week is over... My first week as NCO, fun but can be boring sitting in office all day, lucky its only a three day week... Guess nothing special happened @ work, so not going to say much about it... talk more about today...

Had a good rest the night before, maybe because of the early parade on Firday so didn't really have good 7 hours of sleep (army safety amount), so had a very good rest last night... woke up close to noon, cannot really recall the last time i got up at this kinda timing... haha anyway, got nasi lemak for breakfast, with a very oily chicken wing, feeling uncomfortable even when i think about it now, and to think i finished it, sinful haiz... After that, came online to settle some dispute on ebay... very sickening man.. but think will only disclosed it when the matter is settled lah... Surfed around for awhile then prepared for Dragonboat, the thing i looked forward to every weekend as usual.

Got to Kallang, was drizzling, thought its gonna be canncelled or what, but apparently everyone got on with it... haha, today training was back in full swing man... intensity is back to the times where we were preparing for race last year... we did 50 single strokes, then starts, power strokes and many many races... really pushing our strength to limits... and also burning off all the pineapple tarts and all the new year goodies that i had over the past few days. It great despite is being tough and everything... really enjoyed it. After training, got a shower and went to pasir ris to meet up with the gang to attend Zhiwei Birthday celebration at Downtown East. Alot of people, as in his friends, many familiar faces, only managed to identify one or two but know where they are from and stuff.. but what matters most is he had a great time and its his impt moment... heez... Happy 21st...

That pretty much sums up the day for me... applyed some oilment to my aching shoulder, hopefully will feel better tml... for now... have a great sunday and take care everyone!!!

Chinese New Year!!!

This year's Chinese New Year seems less lively compared to the past years... or have age finally catch up to me... i wonder? Well, as we usher in the Year of the Bow Wow, i hereby wish everyone a joyous and prosperous new year ahead!!! Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!

A blink of an eye and the first month of 2006 is already over, time really flies I have to admit... and looking back, indeed the year started off pretty packed with activities... but well there means that i have only 9 mths remaining in my National Service... First goal is to get myself into the best shape so that once i get back my IC, the first things to do is to head down to the SIR building and get the photo changed... heez... its still my P6 picture... Alright then, a recap of the month...

Nothing much have change, as everyone return from their break, and my gym regime have been reduced quite abit due to the 'busy' work schedule we are having... But still finding every oppotunity to hit the gym to do some weights, or go for a run... Still got plenty of work to be done to the ideal shape i wan... GAMBATE!!!

Been rather busy with this year annual dinner, as i am part of the committee and have been put in charge of the prizes... thank god everything have been going pretty smoothly, and i have to say the prizes aren't bad at all...apart from that, i have been shopping around online too... look and stuff... got myself a polo tee online... haha interesting way of shopping really... this is how is look like...

Its abit big, but well overall its not bad... what more can you expect, this is the disadvantage of shopping online i guess.. not able to try on before buy... well i guess its a buy by experience thingy i guess...

Apart from that, weekends are still packed with dragonboat, as the new season starts, and also shopping for cny, didn't managed to get much this year... guess age is affecting my taste, things done seems to look as appealing as last time... and those that does usually cost quite abit... haha...

Well... i guess thats all, hope the gym is hope on a monday... hahah after all this CNY goodies... its making me really sinful already.... heez... Ciaoz pple.... Take care!!!

January is coming to an end... SO FAST!!!

Hey there!!! finally able to blog again... its been awhile... I know, but well, can't help it if my computer have been giving me so much problem right... heez... ok now is to update on my life for the past few weeks...

Hmm... where should i start? well life have been pretty slow i would say... some might think its a good thing as there is more time to slack and rest around... for me, its kinda boring as time is really crawling past everyday... At least there is Dinner and Dance things to keep me busy, or life could be so boring... Currently on a NO ALCOHOL diet, till CNY, one more week to go... not really a torture till u see people drinking good beer infront of you while u cannot have any... hahaha... But well for my New Year Resolution, neccessary sacrifices is needed i guess...

Have not been going to the gym as regularly... been trying to find time to go shopping for CNY goods... which i haven't been able to do... haiz... guess its old clothings for me this year liao... but will make the best of it too lah... Apart from that.. i guess there is nothing much i can mention liao lor... Dragonboat season for the new year just kicked off yesterday... so guess more workouts is needed to get my body condition for the intense race requirements i guess... i wan my GOLD!!! guess thats all i have for now... anything more interesting will have to come on my next entry i guess!!! meanwhile stay funkie and enjoy ur weekend then!!!

Rain Rain Go AWAY!!!

Argh!!! it been raining for 4 days liao.... on and off... but it sure dampen my spirit about going out to do some shopping and walk around...so many things to buy for CNY, yet haven't got the mood to go look around.... this sux man... haiz...

When will we see sun again? i really could use abit of it for tanning... This rain have not only spoiled my mood, but also my chance as a cymbalist for last week Changing of Guards as it was cancelled... First COG, First main of the new year... and this kinda thing have to happened... pissed... But i guess no choice lah, monsoon season sure comes late this time around...

Anyway, to all my Malay frens out there... Happy Hari Raya Haji!!! hope u all have a great day ahead... heez.. haiz... nothing much i can write liao... rain have washed away all my inspiration to write... Till a sunny day ahead, Ryan signing off...

First Weekend of the New Year!!!

Finally its the first weekend of 2006!!! these past 4 days seems to have past really slowly, or maybe its just that workload have started off once again and things seems to be picking up again... But whatever, the faster time passes, the faster i get to see my IC!!! OMG, can't wait for that day!

Anyway, more about the week... well, pretty smooth going i would say, except the top people seems to get more garang (hardworking in army terms), *haha* very keen to get us fit i can see... doing pushups and make to run round for every mistake they made...but i believe this "garangness" will slowly subside... its a matter of time... Other then that, visited Mowbray camp yesterday and today for COG (change of guards) rehearsal, first of the new year and we are doing MAIN (meaning marching down orchard road) here is the details:

Starting location: The alley dividing Heeren & Hello Singtel (Party World)
Marching off timing: About 530 pm (dressing up about 5pm)
