I'm Coming Home Again.
Holidays are going to bore me.
Dear God, Help Me.
I want to get a job. I want to roam around S'pore.
Maybe even Ubin will do, I like the Highest Peak.
But I need to distract myself from just lazing around at home.
I need to go out, do something productive.
Maybe more Drama sessions?
Or even NPCC trainings?
Restart Taekwondo lessons?
Will do, 'cause right now, I BADLY WANT THEM.
Hit me if you've got anything for me to do.
Seriously, hit me right now.
(Btw, Wayne Rooney have just scored his 100th goal for MANU. :D)

Womanizer?
It's been a almost 24 hours since we've left Ubin, and I'm sadded.
After 5days and 4nights together with a group as crazy, hyper and daring as Raleigh, it's seriously hard to let go. True, I can't let go of this like how Iscac can't let go of Ken eating half of his bread. :E
-I miss CJ; he was actually the unsung hero in this camp.
-I miss at how we can get high over the most little things, like laughs over dinner, 'Truth or Dare' games and just hanging out when CJ ignores us
-I miss at how open we are to get our true feelings across to each other
-I miss at how the dudes in Raleigh would always be eager to get to Camp 1 to see the nurse
-I miss at how Alex and a few others would play with the lighters/MY MATCHSTICKS and try to blow tents up in smoke
-I miss at how we can bond so quickly, but the truth is that we've never met one another before the camp
-I miss at how we'd tease each other over small things like underwears, 'Soft&Gentle', who would be the one to ring the bell(eventually Ken did it :D)and so much more
-I miss the hours spent outside tents, inside, or anywhere else where we claimed about the bonding-time
-I miss Tenzing, and I wish we could've spent some more time with them as well
Lastly, I can't figure out why Ubin have left us without a campfire to wrap up the whole camp. I wish we could have a few more days together, and I totally respect the UGs that were involved in the camp.

, 4:55 AM
Next time, make it a 21-Day Course, 'cause we've done too much bonding to let go.
Mon, Day 1.
"Group 17". As soon as I heard that, I could barely breathe. I looked around, and I didn't know anyone from the group, except for Dinnie(GV NCDCC). I wasnt't close to him either then. I told myself that it was just like other camps, it takes some time for people to warm up to others. And boy, was I wrong this time. Raleigh, my group for the camp, was suddenly talkative and outspoken after the ice-breakers, trust-excercises, belaying, and of course the very addicting tent pitching/dinner time.
The thing was, we got high over dinner. Prolly because of the the burnt solid fuel fumes that had eventually messed up our heads, but we didn't mind. After the first night, it seemed as if most of us had known each other for years. A start of a beautiful friendship.
Tues, Day 2.
We had the really fun game sessions and some casualty rescue(Alex, next time try SAVING the casualty without having consume the kaya bun, okay?) and flying fox with the team "Tenzing". The group had really bonded within the expected time. I bet "CJ", our instructor, was surprised at how fast Raleigh had bonded. Honestly, most of us couldn't even find out the answer of how we had gotten so close. Trust, Motivation; what we needed for the group to carry on in OBS. Chilling in the store, under the tree or even at block 5, the only time when we could stay silent was when CJ was around.
There was actually no other form of communication; no Hps, pagers, PDAs, NOTHING. Just a noisy walkie-talkie CJ carries around all the time and the people who we would be staying with, eating with, laughing with and maybe even crying with for 5 days. After the whole tiring morning and afternoon, we left our main campsite, Camp 2, and headed into the forest to a what seems like a mini-campsite in the evening. We finally pitched our tents in the dark, after stumbling intop puddles of mud and each carrying an equally heavy backpack. In the night, we did our own reflection with some of the dudes in Tenzing, and it was all worth it. An hour filled with scary stories, life stories, and other classified information all being shared. We found ourselves, TIGHT.
Wed, Day 3.
Hiking to what seems to be like No-Man's Land had really pushed us to the limit. We had to trek in the lands of Pulau Ubin, searching for checkpoints and eventually lead us hunting for animals. It took us the whole morning to the afternoon, almost 12 hours in the woods infact. It was pretty okay for me, but the challenge that had fall on us was the heavy backpacks we had to carry around.
It had to weigh at least 20kg. I SWEAR. All our clothes/tentage materials/2x2L water bottles were stuffed into them, and it wasn't a good feeling. Approx. 12 hours of 20kg items on two shoulders? Wasn't the best feeling, and to top it off we were on our own. Given a compass, a map, and a pen. At last, we seemed a little lost and behind schedule, so our instructor led us straight to another campsite, Camp 1 in the evening. Much appreciated; we couldn't have done it without CJ. At the same time, we also bonded more with the people in Tenzing; I'm telling you, they are AWESOME people you'd love to meet. :)
Thurs, Day 4.
SEA EXPEDITION. We started off the morning with some P.T and a good breakfast,(Camp 1 is seriously the Bomb, guys. Even if we didn't get to see the nurse?) and then we had some bonding session/reflection time before we went kayaking. Seriously, I don't think we can get anymore closer to each other. We were all so straight forward and comfortable with ourselves, I felt as if I was blessed to be in that group. For the expedition, we headed off around Pulau Ketam in a triyak; with me infront, Hidayah2 in the middle and Iscac form Tenzing at the back. Forgive us Iscac if we were too slow. And also, let the buns misconception go, let them go. :(
After kayaking and getting some sunburns, we bathed and went to Camp 2, but we pitched our tents and sleptover at the CNC open space. We cleared up the store in the night, and did our best. After a really tiring day, we went to sleep. HECK NO. We had what we called "Confession Time". Everybody's favourite. We spent 2 hours underneath the November sky, and it was one of the most beautiful nights ever. The stars were sparkling at us, and we gazed at shooting stars as they appeared for a split second.
We brought the Confession Time from outside the stores all the way to outside our tents. We confessed and left almost no stones unturned. (Apologies to Firdaus; we were caught by the insructors before we could get into your tent. :( sorry!) And to Iscac as well; he had to wake up the same time as Raleigh did 'cause he slept in our tents, but Tenzing was still asleep. :E
Fri, Day 5.
It seems to fast. Pack up already? It felt as if just yesterday we had came into the OBS Campsite and started getting intoxicated almost every dinner time over curry chicken with toothpaste, unknown underwear appearing and disappearing from nowhere, and bonding time every now and then. But today, cleaning up day. Pack our stuff into our own bags, and return everything that is needed to be returned.By noon, everything was done and we were then given our certificates and printed photos of our designated groups.
Half of Raleigh had our lunches at Compass Point and our last goodbyes from camp there. It was quite hard, after 5 whole days in camp with the most interesting of people, random souls in both Raleigh and Tenzing, finally riding the bus back home alone.
I hope this wouldn't be the last day I'd see them, because if I had a choice, I would re-do this whole week all over again. :D

Sabira :"So the bacon was for Nothing???"
Is it the 24th November already?
Well, then Happy Birthday Dear Sabira!
15, and finally! :D
5 years for me and Sabby have passed with ease, yet dear Sabby hadn't a clue that her family and friends had planned a surprise B'day party for her IN HER OWN HOME. Typical. :)
I hope you enjoyed the party Sabira. De' Javu eh? HAHA, it was in Pri.4 since you had your last surprise birthday party, but this time, I wasn't there to give you hints about it and I didn't wear the legendary 'Orange Baju-Kurung' to the party. Nor was I caught biting my nails in any candid photoshots. ;)
PS: I'm going off to Ubin for my OBS Camp from Monday till Friday. Looks like I'm going to miss my family, friends, and another episode of RAW. :(

I Know This Isn't A Restraunt But, You Got SERVED.
Yes, John Morrison. The Shamen of Sexy.
And after watching yesterday's episode of Raw, I saw how he made the win, "Miz&Morrison VS Shawn Michaels&Rey Mysterio" and he's totally earned my respect.
He is one good wrestler, and I have to admit,
...he's a little better than The Miz.
AND, I quite like Santino Marella now. He seems better when he's not the I.C Champ, and that's good news. For me, at least.
Poor Hidayat; he's been moaning about the loss ever since.
My dad and I went to visit my brother in RTC, and we met Dhalia, my brother's close friend along the way. She's so much fun! Hahaha, plus, I found out that she was Ardhi's SISTER. O.O
The only down side to this awesome week is that Human Weapon Season 1 has ended. Now, my Thursday nights are empty once again. :(

AHAHA 1 MORE BADGE.
Day NOMBOR Tiga : Examination Day.
Here's where all the skills we've learnt during the course are being put to the test.Theoritically and practically, mocking and laughing at us.
OMG, having confidence. What we need to have if in a real scenario.
At the start of the day, everyone in my class was quite emo. Sleepy heads and faces painted black. But the worst part of it was that our instructor wasn't in the best of moods either.
I can't remember how many times I got screamed at when:
1)Answering a question when he did not (or did not want to) ask me,
2)I gave him a little bit of attitude (DIVAAA),
3)I helped someone answer a question
...and all this just because I didn't let him touch me.
WTH.
Okay, but the most tensed part of the day had to be the feeling after the exam, and finally knowing the verdict.
EVERYONE PASSED.
OMG.
And after all the excitement and nervousness, waiting outside the classroom stealing glimpses on the page of the human anatomy, me trying to search and feel my sternum during the period of the exam, and also the amount of time studying and practicing the CPR; great reasults. That was one of the best feelings ever.
After all the laughs we had, bad times and crazy times, we got what we desreved. :)
This only means that we (members from my school and other schools in Area 8 NPCC who passed the test) will get a BADGE to our uniforms, a CERTIFICATE to proof ourselves worthy and also a POCKET-CARD to show that we are indeed certified to do the job.
MAN, DO I FEEL LUCKY.
But I have to give it up to the environment, the insructor, and also the friends I have, that made it all worthwhile. :D

"Call Lai-Lai-Five"
Day Duos, was simply DA BOMB.
We had real fun yesterday, laughing at the simplest of things: Purple Unknown Blobs in MacD, silly words the instructor had incorrectly pronounced, and how cool they had a Burger King Queen in Siglap's school canteen.
Really, it was astounding.
Apart from all the hilarious jokes that bonded us together, I learnt much too.
"The difference between 30 chest compressions when casualty is choking and CPR."
CASUALTIES, Be Prepared.
(Czaraim, my casualty :])
I LOVE ALL OF THEM. REALLY. <3

Medics-In-Training.
Whoa!
The past weekend had been great, and had me running to places too.
I've been busy, so busy I can barely wake up at the holiday hours; 11-12 am in the morning. (For others, even later)
Not like I usually wake around those hours, but for the next weeks I'd be busy too.
And since I'm done listening to my brother's mimicking of episodes from 'Santino's Casa', Imma carry awn wit tishit.
First Aid Course, Day Uno.
It was a hell of a time!
Nickolas and Czaraim were of course the hectic fun-loving brothers of mine, and Haziqah got herself busy snagging some photos, apparently, of me.
I also had to give it up to the Hong Kong instructor of ours, (and I emphasise on the HK, cause' he spoke terrible not so good english) and for some reason he was a little bit of a DIVA to me during class.
It's okay Czar, he's not the examiner. So, it's not a bother to me. :)
Oh, and we've also learnt how to do the CPR properly!
To Czar: okay MAYBE what I taught you in the bus back home was slightly incorrect, but it's not that far off, right? :D
Day Two, coming up.
& of course the exam on Day Tiga.
WOOHOO, PARTAYE.
Wednesday, November 12, 2008, 5:50 AM
Back-up Dancers Can't Catch Up.
PARTAAAAAAYE TILL THE AM we did!
Uncle J'ee had a party for his birthday yesterday, as he turned -- years old.
It was awesome; great food, really nice people + Hidayat, and a rocking time!
Of course plus Haruki Murakami's dirty pages,the holy monopoly board and really addictive J-pop hits, the night was forever young.
Next Stop, Saturday Night Fever. :D

Good Saturday,
not Great because of MANU's LOST(cbsahdbnzuasbfsdnfervkmvdsf),
but it was good cause' I spent the night at Sham's place.
But this time ade members baru ah. ;)
Not that I gave up on Man Utd or anything yesterday, but after Arsenal's 2-goal score, I had to be all emo. Sorry guys.Instead, whilst the adults were partaaaaaaaaaaayeeee-ing in the K-room, us youngsters had to do something to call it our own.
SO, we headed up and had the legendary Monopoly game going on.This time, we had guests:
Shohib and Muhammad, also known as Abang Yado &
Debt of $400, banker's bad progress due to the stock markets' crashes and the evident theft in the "Free Parking" space were all part of the game.Then, as always, wrestling to end every win/loss/bankruptcy.
I'm sorry guys, you know I can't hit them. I'm too nice. :D
CHEH.
Get ready for next Saturday's showdown.
Bring It Awn'.

This Is Who We Are, Regardless of Js'.
Take note that at approx. 1:11-1:26 secs, I wasn't supposed to be there.
BAD cam skills, that is.
So now you now, what Irsyad, Sham & I do for fun. :D
Wednesday, November 5, 2008, 5:45 AM
they talk to me.
After so many weeks, finally.
We got hold of Ami/Puki.
I don't want to let go.
Drama doesn't want to.
Too precious, maybe.
We're stingy, could be.
I love her too much.
Drama is doing really well. Preps for SYF09' are coming alongside and to kick off the new year, we've got plenty of wonderful ideas. All thanks to the current members.
You guys are awesome. :)
Remember, next week got Drama noe.
Must come noe.

Lets Gather Round The Campfire & Sing Our Campfire Song.
OH MAN.
What a weekend.
I had my Unit's Annual NPCC Camp held in my school, and it was really great.
And really tiring as well.
I have to say; ALL the campers who came were actually the really committed cadets & NCOs.
They were the ones our NPCC unit have been looking for.
You guys really persevered and went through this camp.
Even for the really bad campfire.
I promise that I'll try my best to do better for the next camp.
For you guys. :)
And yeah, I owe it all to my group, "Ah Meng", Sir Zul and Nickolas for the award of Best Female Camper for this camp. I stand side-by-side with my fellow group mate, Czaraim, who was awarded Best Male Camper. I wish I could hug all of you till you guys are too weak to even do anymore drills.
