Happy birthday!

Yup yup, its my 19th birthday and with a 3-day off, this's gonna be a super long weekend and enjoyable birthday period. Slowly gaining back my momentum in website design, creating cn+plus but I won't be able to launch it by today becos the POP on saturday lasted a whole day and I caught a fever yesterday...

AHM

"This is one of the largest event to be organised for the whole armed forces, and with the president as the GOH, our responsibility as the ground organising unit is even heavier..."

Sighz..it all translates into a burnt weekend with only a day off in lieu. And the bext part was that all I did was to unload ration from one tonner and put back empty foam boxes into the same tonner, and I had to work effectively over 15 hours. The store party worked for 5 hours and got the same one-day off. Why? Life is unfair, simply unfair.

MAF: Life, captured in a time capsule

Rushed back from the stadium to have missed the grand light-up. However, the small-talk with Miss Ong, the sitting at the class bench watching others play bridge, overseeing the live video editing, standing by the left wing watching the rest of Hwa Chong dance the mass dances has frozen the time in my life. It feels good to be back...I love it!

Irony, pure irony...

September 11 - The second anniversary of the WTC attacks, yet it is afterall, the Mid-autumn festival where the full moon is supposed to symbolise the reunion of family and friends.

In remembrance.

New phone..at last!



Finally found the new phone that fit the tight budget I have with my service allowance...nope, its not the 6610 I wanted since Feburary, but it is the latest 3100 and after trading in my 3310, it burned a $278-hole in my pocket, at least it is still within what I can afford...yeah!

REC > PTE .... > LCP!

"The undermentioned has been promoted to the rank of LCP with effect from 16 AUG 2003. CO, OC and WOSEs congratulate them."

Wow! 16 AUG that's a long long time ago...oh well, better than nothing, expect a small jump in my pay coming 10th September due to back pay, but it should be a mere $20 only... And I could not even get a rank issued to me, end up have to go Beach Road and sew a self-bought rank at $4 for 1 set of No.4, that leaves me with $16. Hmm...

Plans foiled and made...

Ian told me last night that he had a family function and our outing was failure again..sighzz...but it seems like I do have hope of going for MAF this year cos I don't seem to be involved in AHM at all! Even though it means that I most probably won't get my LWE and a monday off-in-lieu, but that doesn't matter as the chance to go back to Hwa Chong, feel the spirit and be part of everything once so familiar again is a chance not to be missed!

"Hi Edmund and Clement,

How's army life? In view of the great work you have done for us in
revamping our website, we would like to give both of you a token of
appreciation during our Annual Appreciation and Award Presentation Ceremony
2003 on 31/10/03 at Mandarin Hotel."

Seriously, this seem like a very great honour and I can't decide if I deserve it. Can someone advise me on this?

"How are you coping with new challenges in the army?"
"Enjoy your NS days."

Hmm. nowadays when you receive an email, somewhere in it you will find the hint of NS. Why? I guess in this phase of my life, my perspective would be narrowed to the "yang pertama dan utama" Sighzz....

Long Weekend!

Will be getting one this week, but it is all silence before the storm...
