spent saturday with my B4 guy classmates. went to the Balcony at heeran there for some drinks after eatin at swensen's. haha. did a lot of talkin kok and catching up. it's becoming more and more like a regular must have event for us.

well, finally remembered the "official" Cougar Company Song. and it goes this way.

Every step i take
Every move i make
Every single day
Every time i pray
i'll be missing you

Looking back the days
Golden memories
Me and my buddy
Cougar Company
Cougar Company

Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
Cougar Company
Cougar Company
Cougar Company

a short but rather meaningful song which strike our hearts when it was first sung. and you could hear ppl singing it everywhere. even in the showers.haha. next week would be a rather xiong week coming up. and yes, going to POP soon :))

many smiles and many cheers. unable to update as often as i like. but ya. would try to do so whenever i can.

Book Out! Book Out Day!!!

book out last friday and came home straight to rest coz i was darn sleepy. alot of interesting happenings in both my section and platoon. haha. some of you may have known. coz i was tellin it to you all. the new intake has finally come in.

saturday was spent with john, alvin and wei liang kayaking. before that, we went to changkat to collect our stuffs. but sad to say, it was all missing. especially my photos which i think are simply priceless coz i only have a set of them. my CLT Course POP, Sec 3 Mount Ophir. Everything gone. :(( all i have left now are the memories that are stored in my tinny winny brain.

it was raining intially and being the brave souls that we are, we ventured out to sea regardless of the weather. before long, much to our relief, the weather got better and we were able to move beyond the red bouy at changi beach. intially planned to go to frog island but later we made our way to chek jewa to see the reefs. but to our disappointment, the tide was high and we were unable to see the reefs that were underneath us. after that we made our way to frog island to rest. chilling out there a while, we made our way back to mainland. after that proceeded down to J8 for a movie- "Blood Diamonds" think the movie was not bad as it raises awareness amongst the people that there are ppl suffering out there and ppl that need our help badly. the anarchy that exists withn the African Nations.

wldnt be bookin out this weekend due to fieldcamp. and after that it's SIT Test. bleahs. hope i wld survive outfield man.

A Simple Tribute to Uncle Daniel.

It seems like only like yesterday that i gotta know him through young wardens, a ministry which i joined back at st. mike's and though i do not know him that well. the times which i talked to him would be well remembered. i remembered that when i was new to wardens and servin my first healing mass, it was him that advised me wat to do and how to do. and he was ever patient in teaching us. he was also a nice person to talk too with a sense of humour and that sparkle in his eye. whenever you walked past him, he would never fail to greet u with a "Hi" and a smile or a wink in his eye would follow. and this is what and how i remembered him by.

i believed that from what my parents said, that he fought a good fight with cancer before the Lord decided that it was time to join him, and join him he did.

May he find Eternal Peace in the Kingdom of Heaven & may his memories lived in each and everyone of us forever.

uncle daniel passed away a few days back and his funeral is today with prayers last night.

some may question me why i dont attend the funeral service today. the reason is simple. i would always have a funeral for them in my heart. nothing can beat that. it doesnt matter where or when you are. as long as you remember them in your heart for the things that they have done, or said. it is enough. as it shows that the memories of them would lived with you forever. no one like to see friends or loved ones passing away. myself included. i hate seeing people that i know leaving me 1 by 1. but that is a way of life that i must accept. heartless you may say for not attending. a rite is a physical emboidentment of mourning. but the actual mourning, to me takes place in your mind and in your heart, where it would always be happening, day in day out.

no one lives forever except in our hearts and our minds' eye. they do. they really do. and when it is time to return home to our Lord. it is these memories that would preserved them with us and make it seem as if they have never left us and would be with us always and everywhere.

gad a fairly short week this week in camp. spend 2 days there before booking out for my weekend which sadly to say ends on a saturday. next week is going to be a rather long week as i would be spending a day more in camp.

the physical training phase has finally started and we are jammed pack with programs but there are also days in which we could have quite a few hours of admin time in the afternoon. that is when we would catch up on our sleep and rest our sore muscles. haha. but it is rather fun i must say as we would push ourselves and motivate our mates to complete the various exercises that are thrown in our way.

field camp coming up the following week. wonder how it would be like. ha. but i muz say that bmt is not as bad as ppl make it out to be cept for the paranormal sightings that would really freak one out. but then i still have about 1 yr plus to go. so still too early to say whether ns is cool or not.

actually got alot of things to blog about bmt. but then, dont really have to mood to sit down and think and blog. coz it's like going to take ages. bleahs. haha. maybe next time ba.

i think i am like having insomia for the past few days man. alot of things on my mind. jus that i cant really seem to find an answer and a s...
