Flying Off Tonite.
LAst weekend has been an enjoyable weekend for me. I met up with my juniors back in bukit panjang government high and really had lots of fun. I'll upload the photos when i have the time. Anyway i'm flying to brunei tonite, just receive a msg from Wan Ling.... hey thanks for the encouragement. On the other hand i also received a sms yesterday that really spoilt my day. It was from stella actually. She told me not to ask her out for any functions such as Commissionary ball or Social night because she is not interested. Well i don't think there's anymore that i can ask her out le. I also visited Sitex yesterday with my good friend (neighbour), jian feng. At the expo, we see lots of very pretty ladies doing all the promotions especially Creative. Competiton is tough haha... we also met up with emily who is working there too. She is childhood friend of jian feng and Alice lim but somehow i got to know them seperately and realised that they are actually childhood friends...haha. And then there's nicolyn, we were exchanging sms halfway when i stopped reply her... Sorry nicolyn. I was sleeping by the time you sent your 3rd msg to me haha. Thanks for being my commissionary ball partner, you have been a wonderful friend. I guess you are probably the only girl that willing to make the time for me. Thanks again, Will miss you in brunei... lol. Well i can't join the 402 class chalet on the 3rd of dec... so you all just enjoy (anyway leonard did not invite me, i got to know about it through jesper, i guess all of you lost my contact right haha). Then there's this zhong lie, when he needs to know about OCS then he call me... when i ask him out... like girl like that.... always cannot come out.haha. I'll be back on the 22nd of dec, i got a few people who i will like to go out with during the break back from brunei, people like benedict and weide, emily and alice and jian feng, nicolyn, my juniors like daphne and wanling and lastly my 402 and 02s56 classmates... wow so many people haha... got to plan hard.Well anyway people, thanks for visiting my blog...i was shocked to see jasmine here haha... thanks. i'll try to upload a lot more photos to make this blog a interesting 1.

WeLomE tO mY HuMblE hOuSE
Hi... Long time since i'm back here writing. Some of you may have seen me using some other blog skin, in the end i decided the default template is still the best therefore you can see me changing back to this template again. Well my leg still hurts, having some problems with walking. Oh yes... i'm going brunei next week. A little excited, a little worried... after all brunei is the highlight of the course. It will be tough and i wanted the JCC badge very much. It is a form of reward after going through all the sh*t. I'm not sure whether i can make it or not but i'll try my very best to get it. Just in case i didn't get it... please understand that i had tired my best... so people just give me your support haha. Less than 2 months to go before i commission, i'll take care of myself so as not to get injure and OOC. Wei De and Benedict... i miss you guys very much... Life in OCS without both of you is a little sian. Well see you guys back in ocs when i come back from brunei. As for benedict, although we can't commission together in the parade square and share the joy together, the memories of section field camp and all the other camps is engraved deep in my heart... For those who had helped me improve myself in OCS. i really thank you, because of you i am a stronger person.

WE are A.Is.....
What a Great Day for Foxtrot Wing. We have achieved 100% A.I standard excluding all those missing in action. We broke the OCS "old" record held by Delta (miserable 2 days). Delta Wing cadets (not all but a few of them) were very cocky when they achieved nearly 60% A.I on Thursday. Yesterday the cadets kept asking us how many A.I did we achieved despite knowing that our test is conducted today. Sorry Delta, Foxtrot did it again. I'm injury during the test, got a muscle torn on my right thigh. I'm going to miss FIBUA... super sian~~~ FIBUA is really fun. The last time we did FIBUA using paint ball... ultra exciting. Hai~~~ but my leg can't make it... hai~~~ i must recover on time for Brunei. I really wanted the JCC badge a lot... i must get it. I must continue to push on so that the day when i become an officer, i can stand proud and tall.
Oh yar... recently Wing Commander kept saying about Integrity. I agree with him. To get something by cheating, one cannot stand tall and one fine day some other people is going to find out. FOXTROT guys, remember what wing com say, JCC badge maybe important but what's important lies in the heart and values. People with good values will eventually become successful in life because they are sincere and people are able to place 100% trust in them. REMEMBER DON'T CHEAT GUYS OR WE'LL BE BACK TO TST AND ALSO DESTROY ALL THE REPUTATION THAT WE TRIED SO HARD TO BUILT. WE CAN'T LOST TO DELTA AFTER ALL.

Moral of the Story
Many years ago in a small Indian village, a farmer
had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money
to a village moneylender.
The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied
the farmer's beautiful daughter. So he proposed a
bargain. He said he would forgo the farmer's debt
if he could marry his daughter. Both the farmer and
his daughter were horrified by the proposal. So
the cunning money-lender suggested that they let
providence decide the matter.
He told them that he would put a black pebble and
a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the
girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag.
1) If she picked the black pebble, she would
become his wife and her father's debt would be
forgiven.
2) If she picked the white pebble she need not
marry him and her father's debt would still be
given.
3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father
would be thrown into jail.
They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the
farmer's field. As they talked, the moneylender
bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked
them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had
picked up two black pebbles and put them into the
bag. He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from
the bag.
Now, imagine that you were standing in the field.
What would you have done if you were the girl? If
you had to advise her, what would you have told
her?
Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:
1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.
2. The girl should show that there were two black
pebbles in the bag and expose the money-lender
as a cheat.
3. The girl should pick a black pebble and
sacrifice herself in order to save her father from
his debt and imprisonment.
Take a moment to ponder over the story. The
above story is used with the hope that it will make
us appreciate the difference between lateral and
logical thinking.
The girl's dilemma cannot be solved with
traditional logical thinking. Think of the
consequences if she chooses the above logical
answers.
What would you recommend the Girl to do?
Well, here is what she did ....
The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew
out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled
and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it
immediately became lost among all the other
pebbles.
"Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never
mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is
left,
you will be able to tell which pebble I picked."
Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be
assumed that she had picked the white one. And
since the money-lender dared not admit his
dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an
impossible situation into an extremely
advantageous one.

a half hours. The doctor came out, and he sigh.

Doctor: I'm sorry, but we did the best we could.
He is still breathing now but God would take him
away from us very soon. We found this letter
inside his pocket.
The doctor hands over the letter to Tina and she
goes into the room to see Peter. He look weak
but peaceful. Tina read the letter and then she
burst into tears. Here is what the letter said.
Tina, our 100 days is almost over. I had fun
with you during all these days. Although you may
be greedy sometimes and less thoughtful, but
these all brought happiness into my life. I have
realize that you are a really cute girl and
blamed myself for never taken the time to
knowing that. I have nothing much to ask for,
but I just wish that we can extend the day. I
want to be your boyfriend
forever and wish that you can be beside me all
the time. Tina, I love you.
11:58pm
Tina: (sobbing) Peter. Did you know what was the
wish I made on the night there was a meteor. I
asked God to let us last forever. We were
suppose to last 100 days so Peter! You can't
leave me! I LOVE YOU, but can you come back to
me now? I love you Peter. I LOVE YOU.
As the clock struck twelve, Peter's heart
stopped beating. It was 100 days.
NOTE*
Tell the guy or girl that you love them before
its too late. You never know whats going to
happen tomorrow. You never know who will be
leaving you and never return.

Wing Commander's Speech...
Hi guys, finally booked out. Today had been quite a enriching day for me. Mainly because of Wing Com's speech just now. Firstly, what are the 3 ways to make our mind stop working? Lack of sleep, Shock and Stress. I learnt from wing com that drills can take over a person's mind when the mind stop thinking which is true. Have you people ever tried singing ocs song or saying officer's creed while thinking of other things? Well i had, this is mainly because i have been saying the creed so many times that it become a nature to me so like wise for drills. When we practice a certain drill so many times, we actually make it our nature. Next is regarding the types of leaders, 3 types of them. First type of leader is leadership through popularity, this is oftened seen in junior college or secondary school whereby the councilors are actually being selected because they are popular. Next is leaders who are efficient, they are the people who are not so popular but very capable. Lastly is the combination of the first and second type of leaders. These leaders are rare. Well like Faz always says... Lead by your heart, i believe when a leader leads his men by his heart, he puts them above him and treat them like his sons. In this way, when the leader enters the valley the death, the men will follow him. Yes, the key to being the 3rd type of leader is to lead by your heart so that when the end of the day you know that you have not let yourself down and more important you have not let your men down. Lastly i congratulate Justin and Faz for their taking over as school appointment holders. DO A GOOD JOB ok? lolx....

Unopened CDs
There was once a guy who was born with a cancer... a cancer that can't be treated. He was now 17 years old and he could die any day now. All his life, he was stuck in his house being taken cared by his mother. He never went outside but he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once.
So he asked his mother and she gave him permission. He walked down his block and found a lot of stores. He passed a CD store and looked through the front door for a second as he walked. He stopped and went back to look into the store. He saw a MAD fly young girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight. He opened the door and walked in, not looking at anything else but her. Her walked closer and closer until he was finally at the front desk where she sat. She looked up and asked "Can I help you?" She smiled and he thought it was the most beautiful smile he has ever seen before and wanted to kiss her right there.
He said "Uh... Yeah... Umm... I would like to buy a CD." He picked one out and gave her money for it. "Would you like me to wrap it for you?" she asked, smiling her cute smile again. He nodded and she went to the back.
She came back with the wrapped CD and gave it to him. He took it and walked out of the store. He went home and from then on, he went to that store everyday and bought a CD, and she wrapped it for him. He took the CD home and put it in his closet. He was still too shy to ask her out and he really wanted to but he couldn't. His mother found out about this
and told him to just ask her.
So the next day, he took all his courage and went to the store. He bought a CD like he did everyday and once again she went to the back of the store and came back with it wrapped. He took it and when she wasn't looking, he left his phone number on the desk and ran out... !!!BRRRRRING!!!
The mother picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"
It was the girl!!! She asked for the boy and the mother started to cry and said, "You don't know? He passed away yesterday..."
The line was quiet except for the cry of the boy's mother.
Later in the day. the mother went into the boy's room because she wanted to remember him. She thought she would start by looking at his clothes. So she opened the closet. She was face to face with piles and piles and piles of unopened CDs. She was surprised to find all those CDs and she picked one up and sat down on the bed and she started to open one. Inside, there was a CD and as she took it out of the wrapper, out fell a piece of paper.
The mother picked it up and started to read it. It said:
Hi... I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me?
Love,
Stacy
The mother opened another CD. Again there was a piece of paper. It said:
Hi... I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me?
Love,
Stacy
