National Service (NS)…
Jul/090
… is the name given to the compulsory conscription in Singapore of all male Singaporean citizens and second-generation permanent residents upon reaching the age of 18. They serve a two-year period as Full Time National Servicemen (NSFs) in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), Singapore Police Force (SPF), or the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).
This is it guys. I am going to be enlist this thursday. Going to Pulau Tekong Camp for my BMT (Basic Military Training). Went out with dear today to get my army supplies but we end up spending most of my money on r_ _ _s (but its nice, and worth it =D).
People have being asking me what I am feeling going to be enlist soon, so I shall answer it here, once and for all (or for those who had no chance to ask). The past few days, I would have probably answer people that I 过一天，算一天 (live one day, count one day). I have nothing positive to look forward to. Only set short goals for that day, like probably I would go out with dear, or do some reading or learning.
Now as the time of enlistment draws near, I find myself thinking more. BMT will definitely be draining me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. What if my body can’t take the intense training? What if my mind is not strong enough to endure? What if I start thinking of friends, families and dear? Would I still stay close to God?
I am also worried now about my dear. I am not someone who had much worries. But after what she told me yesterday, I kinda got drown in EMOness again(ok, for a short moment only =P). We will pull through =D
To switch my mood back, need to find some happy song to listen to. Search thru the list in iTune. A-ha!
And what nice way to end a post then a happy song, “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz.

Time pass by very slowly…
Jul/090
Morning… it always pass by very slowly. By once it past 12pm, time seem to speed up. Or was it because of the coffee I habitually drank every afternoon? Time is relative. Time is how our mind perceive it… Einstein is indeed the smartest person alive to invent the Theory of Relativity. (Either that, or he must have a heavy dose of caffeine that day)
Yesterday, I went out with Edmund and Lim Han. Took Bus 135 to AMK Hub and I really want to mention a very friendly bus driver. When we are waiting for the bus to come to a halt, Mr Driver signal to us to stop walking to catch with the bus. He stopped right in front of us for our convenience. When we boarded the bus, Mr Driver greeted us and waited till we sat down before giving a hand signal indicating he’s leaving the bus stop. Mr Driver waved at fellow bus drivers along the way.
His hand signs is so much that I can feel that some people sitting at my side is noising their irritation. It goes to show that in this world, its hard to please everyone. When a bus driver is rude, people complain. When Mr Driver of Bus 135 shows abit of friendliness, people get uncomfortable and talk behind his back (literally, its behind his back right?).
That’s why I really want to take this chance to compliment Mr Driver of Bus 135. That’s also why I recorded down the event on my iTouch just in case I forget. For those who can’t read chinese (like my dear), it say, ‘I met a very friendly bus driver today. Was almost shocked by his friendliness’ and I also recorded down the Bus license plate in case there is a chance I can vote for the ‘Most Friendly Bus Driver’. Forward this the SBS or something. Mr Driver deserve an award or something =)
After meeting Lim Han and Edmund, we had lunch and went ‘guy shopping’. Can really see the difference when guys shop and when gals shop. We are very specific. We just go straight to the store we want. Never walk around just to look, see, look, see…
Edmund wanted to buy a new phone. How can a Apple Fanboy not pushed the iPhone to him? Eventually, I convinced Edmund, iPhone is a good buy. Value for money, app-based and will not go out of date so fast (unlike other phone whereby you are tempted to buy a new one when a new model came out). An older model of iPhone will work the same as the new model when you update the software. The only difference is that newer model will have better spec (more memory, faster processor). Don’t think an iPhone as a phone. Think it as a miniature computer (I wasn’t the only person saying that, fyi).
It can do anything a computer can do, if you seriously think about it. There are more than 30k apps (last checked) and growing… There are apps for ‘Working Out’, apps for ‘Managing Money’, apps for ‘Getting Things Done’… and more.
Yeap. I’m also brainwashing my fellow blog reader. At $199 with plan, you can’t go wrong. No plan? Use a friend’s Singtel plan to buy 
We went to play L4D afterwards. As you can see, there’s only 3 of us. In the campaign, Dead Air, we barely survived to the last stage if not for a stranger playing as the 4th player. We were killed 2 time in the last stage before… we win and escaped. He escaped. The stranger managed to survive while me, Edmund and Lim Han die.
Yes… all 3 of us noob die in the end even if we completed the game.
Ciao.
P.S. love my dear, 5andra, very much XD
