Good afternoon guys!
Just came back not long from church service.
I booked out yesterday at 1pm and yes I’m back from my 2 weeks of confinement in the army!
Man these 2 weeks was really damn unbearable.
I went through training and had to learn new things at a fast pace man.
My bunk mates sure are an interesting bunch.
We came from mostly ITE or had just finished O Levels and amazingly we blended quite well together I daresay.
Thank God my Sergeants and Officers are good and patient with my platoon.
I can see that they have been extremely patient with us, only ordering us to go into push up positions when we really deserve it, but I do not know how long it will last.
Never really saw the extreme punishment sessions yet and I pray sincerely to God that I will never experience it man.
Everyday is training and training and training man…freaking boring.
Thank God I constantly read the Bible and prayed; otherwise I will really go insane man.
The Bible was my best companion when I was all alone, I always looked forward to my free time at night where I can read my Bible and know more about God before lights off.
It is the presence of God that kept me on…otherwise I really do not know how I managed to survived these 2 weeks.
7 more weeks to go before my BMT is over man…I wonder what activities I will continue to do man.
Going to book in soon in a few hours time man…please pray for me guys!
Pray that I may survive the remaining 7 weeks in 1 piece!
Good evening readers.
This would probably be my last entry before I am enlisted.
Yep, tomorrow’s the day, where I would serve the nation for 2 years.
My ITE classmate Bing Lu is in the same unit as me, but I wonder whether we will be in the same bunk.
Lots of uncertainty awaits me man.
I’ve only started to prepare today, as I do not have any mood to prepare at all on the previous day.
Being playing CS and watching Full Metal Panic Fumoffu the whole day. It’s good to reminisce on this funny anime that I love, even till today.
Oh yes I’ve also started on the storyline for my game! But sad to say, I just cannot show you yet, because it is still in the early developments and also I have enlistment man!
I hope that I can have more ideas when I have free time in my camp, so that I can continue the story.
Basically all I can tell you that my game will be based in
I’m thinking of developing this as a 3D 3rd person RPG game, but I might change it in the future.
I would like to thank everybody that sent me encouragement over MSN, over SMS and of course in person.
Your support and encouragement give me lots of strength and not forgetting the main source of my strength: Jesus.
Yeah I hope He’ll watch over me this 2 years man.
Ok man, I’ve got to go sleep now. I’ll be out on 27th July, so I’ll see you guys then!
God bless and thanks for reading!
Hello reader!
I’m still around man yeah!
However, it’s about 3 more days left till my enlistment.
Damn…time flies so fast.
I still have not packed my stuff yet…LOL.
Oh yeah sorry about the size of the photos in my previous post, it seems to take up your entire web browser I know but I can’t reduce it without sacrificing the quality.
Man…I’m sending off 2 of my ITE friends for their enlistment to the police tomorrow morning.
I just wondered what is going through their mind right now.
Excited?
Worried?
Nervous?
Heck care?
My turn is almost coming in 3 days time….I still does not bear to leave my civilian life man.
Too much things left undone.
Too much things left unsaid. Yes continue to wonder what words I’ve not said to whom, LOL.
I AM NOT TELLING YET!
But, sigh, I’ll be freaking busy the next 2 years man.
I’ve heard from many sources that my direct enlistment into the 41st Singapore Armored Regiment is EXTREMLY TOUGH.
Man…I wondered how tough it is.
I’ve kick started back my training regime today and while I was running, I keep on praying and praying to God.
Would you believe it, my timing has improved!
I’ve shaved off close to 3+ minutes off my previous running record!
Amazing! Thank you Lord!
I seriously prayed a lot during my own training regime.
Cause I have no idea what will happened during my NS, because I wasn’t even interested in the first place.
To keep my mind occupied and not think about all this, I’ve been like playing games, reading the novel Night Watch and reading up on C++ the entire day.
I know it sounds like avoiding the issue, but hey what do you want me to do when enlistment date is so near?
I pray that during my weekends, I have enough strength, energy and motivation to continue on my study on game programming and on my port folio.
And I’m going to earn more than $6000 a month to stop them from getting me back into reservist after the 2 years!
Gah….Lord, I commit this 2 years into Your hands. I am at your mercy.
Please readerss….continue to pray for me.
What I need now are your precious prayers.
Please pray for my safety and also for my health.
Oh yeah please pray for favor from men to be upon me as I serve.
I hope to update you guys soon again.
God bless and thanks for reading!
Hello readers!
This post has been quite long in coming.
So many things have happened since my very last post. What was the date of the last post…June something?
Sorry man! I was busy and procrastinate sometimes in typing out a post to keep everyone updated on what I was doing.
Ok let’s start with what happened the last 3 weeks.
Firstly, I have finally leave ITE College East as of last week!
Amazing huh….I has stayed longer than anyone else in my cohort.
My last class with the Higher NITEC was like about 3 weeks ago and my last class with the NITEC was just last week.
We took some photos so here you go:
This is the Higher NITEC class, the 3rd generation of K Class; I was from the first LOL.
Susan, my previous Premiere Pro lecturer is also in the picture.
This is the NITEC class going for their internship in July. They have to take night classes in order to go for their internship and it is a very stressful class LOL.
The lecturer who happens to be from the nearby IBM, Kelvin, is also in the picture.
There you go, this are primarily the 2 classes that I help out in. The other is the L class from Higher NITEC but I was replaced by Andrew about 1 month before term break so I did not have a change to take a picture with them.
Man…time do flies. Now I am officially no longer a staff or a student in ITE College East anymore. These 2+ years has been real amazing, meeting cool and weird people from both lecturers and students.
Man I’ll never forget what happen this 2 years.
Truly I never know what God always has in plan when I failed my O Levels back in 2003 and 2004…but after this 2 years my faith and believe in Him has come out stronger than ever before.
It was a blessing in disguise as I got to know many good pals and lecturers back in ITE College East, truly you guys rocks!
Hope we will sill keep in contact 10 years down the road, LOL.
As I officially aren’t a student or staff anymore, I had more free time on hand so last Saturday, which was the 30th June, me and a few of the team members from Splash went down to Sentosa for a relaxing day.
What we didn’t expect was that the lecturers that were in ITE College East were there too!
It seems like they were having a chalet and came to the beach (which was where we were) for some fun on the sand. The lecturers and some of the Splash members team up to versus another anonymous teenage team that challenged them to a soccer match.
Well, as you can guess it, we TRASH them man!
Here are some photos that I have taken:

Enjoy yourself while browsing through yeah!
And finally, as of this post, NS for me is officially just only 5 days away. Man, time sure fly fast man.
Many of my friends from ITE are also going to NS, some earlier than me.
Some to police, some to Navy and most going to the Army.
Sigh…2 years of my life is going to be own by the government. Man…many things can happen during 2 years man.
I wondered how the gaming industry will be like after 2 years.
I wondered how everyone will be like after 2 years.
I wondered whether I’m able to go to my dream course in poly after 2 years.
I wondered what new exciting development will happen in the tech world after 2 years.
Pretty lots of wondering huh?
Well…please pray for me to have a safe and fruitful time in the army yeah?
The next post will most probably be the time when I have book out from the army, so till the next post, all the best to all yeah?
Also all the best to my friends that are entering army, see you guys soon man!
Remember to pray for me ah!
Thanks for reading and God bless!
