Hello guys!
Rushing rushing going back camp now!! Waiting for father to fetch!!! I'll make this a quick one.
Life in GNTC is totally different from BMT. Now is like going for classes then physical. I got into a new cabin which is facing the sea! Sea breeze early in the morning and watching the sun rise. Its really cool! But one bad point is the insects around... Well, now need to discipline to exercise on my own or i'll get FAT with the daily tea breaks and meals served everyday.
I got enlisted on 1st June 05 so ORD should be 1st June 07.
Its already 5 month and 26 days. Boy o boy sure its fast.
I got alot more in my mind to mention but the feeling is not there. Got to go now!
Weihao how many more days to POP!!?? Wish you get posted to my camp or maybe with Junhan be RP!!! =X

I'm back from CGH after the Ultrasound Scan. Scanning the stomach area. Pretty impressive!!!
Well wanted to take a off day today but my Officer said no... giving me reasons... which i thought was RUBBISH? Haha how do you expect me to feel good after my request was rejected? :p Need to report back camp before 1.30pm.
Will try update this week "event" in the next blog.
Dig all this story out from my hotmail. Enjoy reading it.

A GLASS OF MILK
One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way
through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry.
He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his
nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.
Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked
hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then
asked, How much do I owe you?
You don't owe me anything, she replied. "Mother has taught us never to
accept pay for a kindness."
He said.....
"Then I thank you from my heart."
As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but
his faith in God and man was strong also.. He had been ready to give up and
quit.
Many years later that same young woman became critically ill. The local
doctors were baffled! They finally sent her to the big city, where they
called in specialists to study her rare disease.
Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name
of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he
rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.
Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at
once.
He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her
life. From that day he gave special attention to her case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won.
Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for
approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill
was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take
The rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something
caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words.....
"Paid in full with one glass of milk"
(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, God,
that Your love has spread broad through human hearts and hands."
There's a saying which goes something like this: Bread cast on the waters
comes back to you. The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone
you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again at
least you will have made the world a better place - And, after all,
isn't that what life is all about?

HOW TO BOIL A BULLFROG?
Years ago some scientists did a simple experiment on a bullfrog. They threw a bullfrog into a container of boiling water, and the bullfrog instantly popped out of the boiling water. Next they put the bullfrog into a container of cold water. The bullfrog liked it and stayed in the container. The scientists then turned on the heat at the bottom of the container. As the water got warmer, the bullfrog relaxed and took a nap. The bullfrog was so comfortable that it stayed in the container and was "cooked".
SUCCESS PRINCIPLES
Most of us are in the "comfort zone". We have a house to go home to, a nice bed to sleep on, food in the fridge, a group of friends to mingle with, along with some basic necessities of life. We have worked hard to get to where we are now. So why should we change this? The truth is most of us are like the bullfrog, because we
feel warm and comfortable, we refuse to get out of our comfort zone, and prefer to stay where we are. In life we are either creating or disintegrating. There is no such thing as "staying where we are", because there is always movement. So if we are not moving ahead in life, we must by nature, be moving in the opposite direction.

10 more days to P.O.P !!!
Its drawing closer and closer. What can i say? 2 years of national service, i already spent about half a year in BMT. What a joke but i still love BMT! Seriously! Wonderful people there training us. I'm not typing this because they are reading it but its a FACT!
I should have passed out last batch. If i were to compare this and last batch. I'll definitely join last batch. To me, its really obvious where the standard is. No i'm not complain. Just have to suck thumb all the way or maybe 2 thumbs!!!
I should have just kept quiet all the time for this batch. Let them suffer, suffer and suffer. Maybe telling them so much about meeting the standard was a bad idea. Should have let them earned it the hard way. Let the Officers squeeze the standard out from them. Yes, it may seems that i sound cruel. If the Officer never told me to "watch or lead" them. I would have given up hope somewhere and let them fool around.
So what i'm an OOC nor Gold in IPPT nor passed my SOC nor anything? I din't even say the word OOC as something to pressure them. But they will say OOC big fuck ah? What i did was just telling them what can be done and what cannot be done. Is this the kind of respect i get? Personally i don't take it as a joke at all.
Oh well, i suppose not passing out with last batch was one of my regrets.
P.S. I'm not blaming anyone here. Just some thought that i was thinking about. Or maybe what i said can change you guys?
Got this whole thing from my Officer's Blog.
Quote of the day:
"In life, changing yourself works; changing others don't."
Agree with the first half but not so the other half. It's not that it doesn't work but it is a lot harder. However, we all have the power to INFLUENCE others to change, thus encouraging them to change themselves. If not, how do we qualify the need for teachers and instructors.
Talking about Influence... maybe if i got a few chocolate bars (Officer ranks) on my shoulders thats might work?
TIME TO BOOK IN!!! Will blog my last sunday sentosa outing this coming thursday night i think.. need to go for medical scanning on Friday morning..
