PIRATES! yes! finally i've managed to squeeze out some time to watch pirates of the carribean with kheng wee, the world's end! It's really cooL! luckily, i went to read the sypnosis before watching cos i heard that it's a little confusing initially. and yeah was able to follow throughout the whole movie! really nice plot and action. there may be some loose ends but such a movie will be lovely if u do not ponder so much on the loose ends.

yuPz, and keira knightley is really lovely! i love her!!!


she's coOoOOOol!!!

i guess i'm totally a workaholic. This week was really really busy and instead of complaining, i felt satisfied. despite being besieged with ndp rehearsals as well as the oncoming field camp, i wasn't mentally drained at all.

Upon seeing my recruits every morning, I would feel motivated! well, maybe cos they bring me laughter at times that helps to break the monotonous tasks that i'm doing. And i think i deserve a good treat for myself after this feild camp. besides teaching the recruits during field camp, i still have to plan which sergeants to aid me in certain lessons. moreover, i've to study first be4 i teach. luckily, i have this bunch of understanding specs to help me in delivering the lessons!

Well, and i really look forward to field camp, to teach them the different drills and looking how they perform them. it's really quite fun la! and the most interesting thing is to lead my section! cos i have really good recruits in my section~ anyway, the coy best is also from my section! haha!

well well, will be meeting milly, eileen and ks tml for sizzler! must have a good meal be4 a busy fri n sat (ndp rehearsals)! this time with the recruits at marina baY~ yuPz, gambatte!

you would be shock at how all the seemingly disorganised parts can actually come together to form a seamless performance for a whole good 2h~

we only rehearsed 10 min of the whole NDP performance today and there were thousands of commands and actions going on behind the camera. guess no one could have imagined that~ i could say that this is the largest performance i've partaken in so far! the past ones were mini and easy concert performances but this require precision and i really mean precision cos we're dealing with hundreds of performers~

I was manning 2 signal sets today, apparently my OC wanna train me. haha~ it was fun i thought cos there were numerous commands coming in at different time. but when u're able to follow, the satisfaction is there. and i started mugging the sequence just now by summarising and breaking down the impt parts. yupz yupz, it's still manageable! haha~

anyway, will be meeting milly tml for pizza!

hey hey~ today was the first NDP rehearsal that i went. it was held at ngee soon camp and wow there were many ppl~

was suddenly given a pile of time schedule to look through and it is precise to the second for each and every movement on stage! gosh~ was quite surprised at how precise the whole performance was planned. every second isn't allowed to go wrong! if not, it'll screw up the whole performance. cool! and i was given a signal coms and i find it kinda cooL!

it's not really stressful la but initially i wasn't able to tally the performance time with that shown on the paper. but was able to later. think i'm a workaholic! i like that adrenaline rush in me when trying to understand the whole platform as quickly as possible. it's like an out front challenge but wasn't put off by it~ haha! instead it feels good when i'm able to get acclimatized to wateva that's happening in 1 day. wee =)! like this job as an OC PA~! well well, there'll be another rehearsal segment tml and a full 1 on thurs~!

well well some updates about this week...

1 word to sum up this week--- boring. had COS duty on tues and thurs and had a very bad tummy ache on wed. despite the pain, i still went out with my platoon specs for dinner. a lesson learnt--- rest when unwell! monday was another monotonous day with the recruits. attended the usual lectures and PT with them. conducted some lectures for them which i tried my best to make them less boring.

then, i was told yesterday that i became OC PA for NDP rehearsal; replaced kevin cos he was 'drafted' to be in the guard duty team. actually i was happy to be pulled out of the usher team and given a more hectic job. cos i'm 1 who embrace challenges and i like to be busy (at times). it feels more enriching and i would like a more impactful ORD! that's why i was glad to be OC PA. but here comes the dilemma as my jap lessons coincidentally clash with the rehearsals unless sunday rehearsals are sporadic. but i've settled them and i've prioritized the NDP rehearsals. gotta make some sacrifices with my jap lessons but it's alright since i treasure these last few months in army~

shall change my lesson to sat morn on the 9th lesson so that i can attend them regularlY! well well, so much for this week. and yuPZ, i met cf for ichiban boshi at esplanade today~ it was sugoi! ordered lots of sushi~ haha!

hey hey~ yesterday was hanabi day! me, weidi and sam went to vivo first for a short retail therapy. actually din have the mood to shop la~ so i bought some candies from candy empire.

wow, hanabi has changed it's menu greatly! a lot of new dishes to try~ and they're well accepted i think cos i find them delicious. i especially like their fresh sashimi! alright, and guess who i met there?! i met ron! hahah who sat at the table beside mine~ he came in at around 8.30pm, 1 hour later than me~ and we went on to rochor road for some good dao hui!

think we're kinda funny. cos we just decided to tour taiwan together in nov after our ORD during the meal and everyone was quite on about it~ dun really mind la, then i'll be travelling thrice this coming year end hol!

anyway, think my jap has improved quite a lot ever since i started watching jap drama and anime. i get acclimatised to their speed and i can understand most of wat my sensei spoke today. yeah! gambatte tsuzukimasu!

alright~ yesterday went out with yuexin and ah yin~ ks was supposedly able to join us but due to unforseen circumstances, his exercise was unfortunately extended~ hai! maybe he was spotted shitting at an inappropriate time. haha!

well, so the 3 of us still met up cos ah yin will be flying to grand canyon on 7th may for 3 months! and we had lunch at esplanade ichiban boshi. the ichiban there is really ichiban (the best). with a spread of variety together with its freshness, i give it 4 stars! furthermore, the ambience there is really good. it's just different from the rest of its outlets. shall return to that restaurant in future! i had salmon set and the grilled salmon was oishikatta! sashimi was fresh too! ok, but still nothing beats hanabi~ hahaa =)

then we walked around marina square to search for ah yin's bag. and then yx n i headed to tm to watch spiderman. that movie wasn't really impressive i felt. visual effects were kinda expected and the plot was a little bland. i even felt it a little longwinded in the middle of the movie, but it was still an average movie la. i'm waiting for pirates and transformers now! keira is soooo cool and prettY! i like the british accent! ahhaa~

ok! lastly, bon voyage to jiayiN!
