Brunei!!! was it worth it...

Haha, realised that i haven't posted any picture from my brunei trip... haha well... all that matter, other that the wonderful experience i gained, the food seemed to have take a blow on my waistline, or my weight as well... I GAINED 2KG!!! thats not the worse part... the worse part is its seems that i have lost all determination to lost them... all i can think of is food all day, and when i went running just know, i cannot believe the number of times the word "Quit' appeared before me man... haiz... i really missed all the determination i had a year ago... Argh please come back....

Well, i guess its not going to come back simply by me whinning on it... but lucky thing is i am already doing something about it... haha formulate a plan, and now all i have to do is to stick to it...
Ok enough on the weight thingy... here are some of my brunei photos....

Some pre-departure photos with my buddies in camps...

Arrived at brunei... passed the diplomat custom man... haha the officer was giggling away when i took the pic, wonder wat so farnie... and TEAM SINGAPORE!!! nice pic really like it....

The many rehearsal we did in brunei for the big event as well as the street parade... the sun was scorching and its 1 to 2 degree hotter than Singapore....

Some Indonesian frens i made in brunei, The Indonesia drumline, note the keyword is drumline, which already comprises of 60 + people, that exclude their band... their entire contingent comprises of at least 120. the biggest for this tattoo... Lastly, a picture of us in action...

And this is the street parade at night... marching down the main street with alot of people watching the feeling is superb... like chingay in singapore but there is no barrier btw us and the crowd...

There is plenty more... but guess i will share it with you guys some other day i guess... haha just looking through all this photos brings back tonnes of memories man.. haha alright then thats all
Cheers

All good things must come to an end...

Nothing beats sitting at home, sipping on hot chocolate, and using computer, blogging the night away... been waiting for this day for 2 years already... and finally it here, the beginning to my new chapter of life as i close my chapters of army life and regain civilian status...

Yesterday evening spent my final evening in bunk, and was later asked to play soccer, which i cannot reject coz there wasn't really another time i could play... Could say i was pretty on form last night, scoring many goals (at both ends. haha) but well, the night didn't end of in a good note as we stopped as i sprained my leg as i chased the ball... heard the crack and i knew something wasn't right... Sat there holding on to my ankle for awhile before the rest of the guys come to my aid... As i return to bunk limping, everyone have a worried look on their faces, wondering if i can still make it for the parade (my last parade). Applied some deep heat cream, put on my sock to keep it warm, i got into bed. Morning, the pain was a killer as i stepped of the bed and i literally drag my leg to the bathroom as I wash up. I put on double layer of socks just to give it a better cushion... Victor was so kind to give me a ride up to the white house, guess I would have collapse if i had to walk. Thx Victor... Anyway, lets not get too detailed, and just said i managed to survive the parade... there is some minor hiccups here and there but overall we survived... thou i limped out of the parade, but i am glad i endured through...got back to camp, finally settled some of the admin side with my leave and stuff...hear many farewells and best of luck from all the specialist... was kinda sad to be honest, cos i would definately miss everyone, guess the brunei trip did bring about a little closeness to all the guys in the band...

As i packed my stuff from the bunk, the new batch started bringing things into our bunk, taking over my bed and stuff... That scene really brought back tonnes of memories, when i was new batch doing that 2 year ago... haha everything seems really unreal indeed. As i leave camp, i never looked back, i took my time and every step i took, i glance around, like really see everything for the last time... the grounds i run in the evenings, the chin-up bars that i have overcome over time, and many many more...

All in all, what really ended my chapter in SAF band was the sincere thanks from my in-charge Staff Maswan. Really made all the effort i put in for the pass months as a bass drummer paid off...

Guess all good things really do come to an end, and as my life steps into a new chapter, I will not forget all the wonderful time i had in my NS life. I know not many people will say that about NS life, but mine was truely an unforgettable one. It fulfill many of my dreams, dreams like wearing the number one, performing for National day parade, going overseas, etc... THX ALOT...

Happy National Day!!!

Happy 41st Birthday Singapore!!! guess most people will be glued to the television watching the celebration now, haha and here i am blogging away, guess its for the fact that i have already got my share of the parade last year that i didn't find the need to watch it this year... haha today last year i was still wondering what its like to be, and now i know... as freedom is nearer to me... haha... This is kinda scaring me too... coz the question is right in my face now "WHAT AM I TO DO NEXT?"

I guess the day have been very bored for me the entire day... well i guess its gonna be like that unless i tink of something to do... i kept saying that i wan to plan, but nothing realistic is actually finalised.... I realise i kept saying life seems to become very colourless, but the main factor that seems to be causing this is not really the people around me, but the problem lies with me instead. Its is I who make life seems so hard to bear, I who is lazy to venture out and try new things... Can anyone please tell me how am I to solve this problem? haha strangely i can point out the problem but no solution comes out... but its feels better that i have now define the problem and lettting it out... haha... I am thinking about working, but as what i am really not sure, but another part of me tell me i deserved a break from 2 years of band... go on a holiday, enjoy life... which i too plan to do, but will not be able if i start working... haha guess planning will really have to come soon...

Was looking back at some of my army photos and photos i have been taken this past year or so... i must say photos are really still memories of life... as they really brought me back in time to those times bitter sweet moments for the past year... Guess i am really gonna miss those moments in army, the running sessions at night, the slacking in bunk moments... haha... Well, been watching the march pass of this year NDP too... haha alot of memories too... i am glad the chapters of my life is so colourful... hopefully i could do something about the future ahead... heez.. alright then... guess thats all for today will blog over the weekend...

Oh yah, I will be doing probably my last parade for the SAF band this sunday, the Change of Guards parade, so if you guys are free please do come down and support k... haha parade starts 5, will be there by probably 3 plus.... haha so do come coz i guess that would be my last time in my smart uniform... haha Cheers!!!

I AM BACK!!!

Hey there guys!!! I am finally back and blogging... heez. forgive me for not blogging the minute i got home... Well the thing is, my com kinda crashed on me after putting in all the photos i took in brunei... so yah, lost quite abit of information from the formatting, yah... lucky thing is all my photos are save, so not all is lost...

Anyway, lets just update on the happenings of my absence, We recieved alot of feedback from the top that brunei end sent alot of good feedbacks, and the rest of the bandmens that are left in Singapore have been talking about our achievements. This make all the hardwork that we have gone through in Brunei worth it. Now i am pretty much in the "ORD" mode, where the specs have already loosen their hold on me, and its offically time for me to clear my off... Just had my dental checkup today, and got a recommendation to get my wisdon tooth extracted, 4 of them to be specific, appointment is next week for my Xray and stuff... hope everything goes smoothly...

Apart from that, there isn't really much i can put in, oh, just had another one of the section outings with my flute gang last weekend, intro to them some of my old hangout when i used to work... haha brought back lotsa memories... hopefully everyone enjoyed themselve...can tell some of them didn't but well thats what happen when there is too many pple i guess... haha not always the right crowd... heez... anyway nothing much to put liao... Wishing Singapore a happy 41st Birthday!!! in advance that is..... Cheers
