3 years ago this day, a bird shat on me

On my white No. 1. Just before the parade. On my outer sleeve. When I'm at the first row.

--

On another note...

See 3rd Coy the hands swing wrong again tsk...

And I just realize within this photo all at the first row I see the only CHS classmate that went through VJ and CDO with me; my BMT buddy; my medic school clique-mate; and one of my HQ threesome brother. Naise.

From dreading the selection, to enrolling into BMT, zero-fighter; shortlisted for leader's course; quarreled with PS; posted to Medic school; taking 45 minutes to prowl Nee Soon camp; cross-training; airborne course waking early in the morning; jumping out of the helicopter; back to battalion; fever at Seletar; Brunei; 35km with 35kg; 72km; Red Beret presentation; CSM runner; commando gold; Taiwan ATEC; clubbing nights; mahjong in Det Office; Thailand bilat; SAF Day's bird shit; President swearing-in at Istana; NDP; 4NTM; turnouts after turnouts; and finally... ORD...

Ok this is the real dream come true

So... NUS decided that the top 1% belonged to the top 5% group as well. Bravo!

Best of both world. Literally

"I used to love sunsets more than sunrise, now I'm having second thoughts..."

"Why not just love the sky?"

Bye bye, 吵!

See you next year~ 

Who's saying who's the greedy pig?!!

I've got photo evidence. Don't deny! 

Fitting of the name for this chat

Things we do when meeting on train 

Lol. Wrong cheat code

So there was this dilemma of whether to S/U that A- to get this Dean's Scholars List thingy that's awarded to the top 1% instead of the top 5% for the Dean's List. Then I reasoned that I didn't strive so hard for this, I just wanna fulfil my desire of getting the Dean's List at least once... So I left it alone. 

Ever since primary school, I've been telling people that it's impossible for me to outdo my brother in any stage of my education. I still haven't. But perhaps this is a "consolation" prize...

Cos 苦尽甘来

You're not a woman. You're different

Instead of looking at all these negatively, take a step back and tell yourself, "hey, I'm actually quite different! But that's alright; that's how I roll" 

By feeling negative about other people's (read: society's) negativity towards you, you are exactly what you hate: a socially-conforming thingy. 

People don't know who're the real immature ones

Pre-trip "warm-up"

Shashukaaaaaa

I've caught so many people sleeping!

Second-time surprise

One of the rare few induction programs where I've made only 2 new friends hahah. But t'was good; something new at somewhere 'o. 

Cos this is what brothers do

When I grow up

"... or not 2B

That is the pencil to bring into exams..."

That was my brother's reply to me telling him I parked his car in Deck "2B!"

-.-

I'm glad I have such an awesome bro whose mental age isn't that far away as our physical age suggests

I make mistakes too

No one's perfect. 

But you just have to keep faith in this learning process where you are both the teacher and the student to yourself. 

I always fail too; in fact, I still do. 

But I maintain the confidence in me... And I believe in myself. 

Stop. Stop doubting your abilities because of some minor failures or a few mistakes. And stop thinking so highly of yourself: no one expect you to be perfect; no one can, because no one can be. 

Byebye 点！

I don't know why but somehow we became closer only now, one year after working together (and I don't even work with you guys per se... Heck, I don't even work!), and only when we are gonna be scattered all around soon. 

But yup, see you guys next year!

Skipping ropes while courting death

Yup, only accident that afternoon was our coincidental stripes; which sort of makes the show a great one...

Oh and thanks Base Entertainment for the free tickets! 

War of the Lambda

This time round the darkness seems defeated! And can you see the sprawling wings of redness? Truth is, they're done with their job scaring off the dark clouds and is on their way to hide behind the rising yellow sun! 

This is getting addictive...

Recovery never really ends

but after awhile you just get use to the pain and there really isn't a need to recover anymore...

Trip to "Kranji"

JB ji duo ren yi xia 

And first bus ride for the boss in dunno how many years!

Cos the Queen prefers looking at my face than the scenery in Europe

This was year 1 sem 2 by the way... 

I really look quite skinny -.-

Storm in the making

It ended up with only a disappointing 5-minutes shower and a bit of drizzling.

Iceman activated: CAP freeze!

Tell me the small things next time round

And I believe that will be in more than 6 months' time. 

You'll probably have more big things to tell me by then... and I hope you'll continue surprising yourself!

I realize you should come to blogspot and adopt this skin of mine

You know you're actually pretty important to me the past 2 years ever since we met for reasons I myself don't really comprehend. If there's one thing to point out, that has to be your match-making role... I don't know why you didn't choose to pull Dingkai or Jiaxin or Wengseng from A5 into Magna, but I believe you did the right thing. HAHAH! 

Stay awesome and keep chirping. 

I've decided to live with 4.9

CAP 5 was never my aim, but this sudden elevation of grades suddenly throw all my prior matric of rules out of the equation; alluring me to attempt an irrational act for an short term glory. 

I shall not be tempted

高“粽”状元

Must be the dumplings plus my lunar birthday luck that gave us the good luck! ;) 

I always joke about getting CAP5

But... But...

Still not coming to terms with it

Best pre-SEP gift

"Heng, you better start participating..."

That was the trigger man; but still, thanks for reinstating my faith in philosophy. 

With that, I've successfully completed my two Minors' requirements; obtained my first First Class semester; and hopefully get the coveted piece of honour roll. 

This may be my best semester yet, but if at the end of my 3.5 years there's another semester that outdo this one, then I'll probably be up for more surprises. 

But who cares; for now, it's time to set the mood right for the next six months!~

Tempered grass

I'm sorry I "screamed" at you. 

But I'm really just like a field of grass; shaking violently when the storm comes and calms down when it's all over. And deep down, I believe the foundations hold me pretty stable; not easily changed or even swayed. 

I may be "screaming," but I mean nothing of anything and everything I said, and yup, nothing's easily changed because of a storm; at least not for me!
