18-19 Feb - Did Zhongde Pri 4 camp under Trekkers at Camp Christine. Damn P4s are really mentally draining. This is the second time doing a p4 camp, and its the same. Hyperactive kids drains u mentally, not physically. Haha. But it was a good camp. Though i have a noob partner. Luckily Hazwan have so much free time and help me at times. Went straight home after camp on Thurs bout 12noon and headed straight home, and went to office at 2pm. And this time, otw home from camp, just before the KPE tunnel exit, i stopped and took a break. Learnt my lesson; take a break if ur tired when riding. It helps. Drank water, splashed water on my face and ate sweet before continuing home. Oh ya, and on Thurs also, at night, there was recall. Damn. I had to go to Jurong for briefing for Sat's program, and the briefing was just about to start when the call came. So 110km/hr all the way to 2nd Div HQ. Haiz. Waste time seh. And i was so exhausted at night that i fell asleep while holding the phone, cos i was about to call Faezan bout the program.

20 Feb - Met up with Hazim, Fifi and Saufi after office hours. Briefed Fifi and Hazim thoroughly bout the Mindaktif program they were gonna do the next day. took about 2 and a half hour to finish the briefing. Heh.

21 Feb - Did Mindaktif program at Arab Street for Eastview Sec. I was the assistant head. The program went ok, but a lot of minor hiccups accumulates to a very unsatisfactory running of the whole program. Luckily the kids were great; enthu and listens to instruction. Lesson learnt for me and Faezan.

22 Feb - Stayed home during the day. Then at night, at the very last minute, it was finalized that we were going to Aifah's place to celebrate Zee's and Aifah's engagement cum Zee's birthday. So rushed out at 7.45pm to get Nisa and bought a cake and headed to Yishun to meet the rest. We were late and the couple had to leave for Sengkang, so we had a mini celebration at the void deck before they left. Headed over to Kaz's place for a while to fix his bike before heading to Sengkang. Met up with the couple again at 11+pm. Stayed till bout midnight before everyone left.

23-24 Feb - Back to office as usual. Did sentry at Camelot on Mon and Tues night. Mon was with Fishcake and Tues was with Tingting. The kids were restless on the first night, but flat out on the second night, so second night was good. Heh. On Tues afternoon Yan, Farid and me went to Home Team NS Bukit Batok to have our practice session of air rifle shooting and archery. It was first time for both sports for all 3 of us. Haha. It was fun lah. And irritating when u shoot off target.

25-26 Feb - Was sleepy during work, but did another 2 sentry duty on Wed and Thurs night, this time at Cdans campsite. Both night i was with Fiza and Yana, and we listened to misteri jam 12 on both nights. Haha.

27 Feb - Went to bike shop after office hours. It turned out that my engine gets hot very fast these few weeks is because the water fan was totally corroded till the blades had literally disappeared. And replacing it costs $220. Haiz. There goes the GST money. And i should watch what i say, cos a casual talk can turn sour if one says something unecessarry. Lesson learnt.

28 Feb - And finally, today. Had to wake up early. Got a wake up call by Yan. The 3 of us went to Home Team NS Bukit Batok for the actual comp. We got second last place. Haha. But all the points were so close, so it doesn't really matter. Heh. What matters is that we get 1 day off woohoo! Went home after that. Wanted to play soccer in the afternoon but didn't. Collected my bike from the workshop at 6+pm. So here i am at home.

Can't believe i went thru the weekdays with just about 2 hours of sleep each night, but then again, there were also a lot of naps in office. Haha.

I wish we can be certain about some things in the future. Can't wait for NS to be over and get on with life. Till then. The future is like the sky, unpredictable, filled with good and bad seasons. Hmm. Adios.

Stayed home during the day on Sat. Watched Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer in the afternoon online. Haha. Met up with Saufi at 5.45pm then headed to Ah Boy to get mirrors and grip. Then headed to Adi's aunt's 3 story bungalow for the doa slamat. Ate alot of nasi ambeng there. Heh. Stayed till bout 10.30, then went over to a blk in the area to fix up my mirror. Headed home after that.

Went to Jamiyah on Sun. Went to National Lib, then dropped by Bedok int to repair my watch. Went home, then went out at 5.30pm. Met a guy from SgBikes.com at Kallang Leisure Park open carpark.

Mon was a good day. One supervisor went for medical appointment and didn't come that day, and the other one didn't feel well and went home before lunch. Haha so slacked till work ended. Went to my bike shop to get my road tax tag and put my new grips on the bike.

And finally today. An even better day then yesterday. Both supervisor not around for the whole day. Woohoo! Slacked thru out the day. Went straight home after office hours.

20 Jan - Took MC for the day. Stayed home during the day. Then in the evening met up with Mangs, Ishak, Kira and Syaza. Then Saufi and Ira joined and there was a surprise birthday cake at the wall with the bicycle chained to the pipe. Haha. Love it! I never get birthday surprises and really really x1000 appreciate it.! Gun, Hazim, Fifi and Pendekar joined a while later. We went to CS and watched a mo

21-23 Jan - Did St. Andrew's Sec School under Trekkers at Sarimbun. It was an all boys sec 3 camp. The camp and boys were alright. My group's is good. Rationed the titbits that i got for my birthday from Saufi and Hazim. Haha, but it didn't help on the throat. Haha. My group got best group, much to the dismay of 2 other groups who thought their group deserved to get the best group. My group had excellent teamwork but not as noisy as the 2 groups, and the 2 trainers were highly disappointed their noisy and on-the-ball groups didn't win. Oh well u win some u lose some. I guess today i won, but maybe i won't be lucky next time.

Then otw home, i got into an accident. Was tired, then the car in front slowed down suddenly, so in my tired mode, my reaction wasn't fast enough and for the first time i banged into a car. Hit it at the left back area. I was sent rolling from the right most lane into the next lane, and my bike slid to the next next lane. Lucky for me on coming vehicles stopped. Haiz. Quickly got up after i fell and apologized to the driver. Sucks man. Went to my bike shop at from PIE near upper serangoon exit with the tow truck. Then took a cab home from the shop, which is at Tamp. Haiz. My mother was all worried. Went to CGH at night. My knee was badly swollen. Went for x-ray; there was nothing wrong with the bones, its just a very bad swell. Haiz. What luck man. I just earned money from the camp to save, in the end i have to cash out even more than what i earn to pay for the repairs for my bike.

26 Jan - Went for picnic with Engine people. Met Ira, Kak Pa and Azrin at Pasir Ris int. Saufi was late. Heh. We went to 'book spot' at somewhere near the playground area. We reach slightly past noon. The rest reached at 1pm+. Its was a damn fun day. Haha. They played 3 different sports, i was the referee since i can't play cos my knee hurts like hell. Heh. They played captain's ball, soccer and touch rugby. In between food and drinks and singing songs. Haha. Then at 10pm+ we walked thru the swamp before everyone parted ways. It was a super fun day man. Heh.

27 Jan - Watched Inkheart with Yanah. Wanted to use my 'buy one get one free' movie tix voucher, but it couldn't be used cos it was a public holiday. The show was so so. I'd give it 6.5/10.

28 Jan - Watched The Punisher: War Zone with Aishah in the evening. It was a birthday treat from her. Heh. The movie is quite gorish, with shotguns to the head and stuff. Went to Starbucks after that, bumped into Kaz and the other trainers there. Played Chess with her again, but this time she managed to beat me once out of 4 games. Arghh there goes my clean sheet. Haha. And she cabbed me home after that cos she took cab to go to work. Haha thanx a million Aishah!

29 Jan - Watched Love Matters with Ira. Saufi was supposed to join, but he couldn't make it last minute. Funny movie. Haha. I'd give it 8/10. (Chey now i'm a movie rater. Haha!)

31 Jan - Watched The Wedding Game with Yanah in the late morning to use my GV voucher. Then headed to Fauzi's place to celebrate his birthday. He cooked my favourite spaghetti dish. Woohoo! Was at his house till evening. Then i walked all the way from his blk which is near Tamp polyclinic to opp school with my swollen knee. And i was pissed when i reached there and hazim said they was elsewhere. Eventually met up with them at McD before going home.

5 Feb - Went to my bike shop to collect my bike during lunch time. Walked to the shop from my office. Paid $480 first. Another $400 can be paid slowly by installment. Haiz. But i'm happy i got the bike back. Cos public transport is so damn expensive! Topped up my ezlink $10 four times in bout 8 days. Omg. Played soccer in the evening with Hazim and gang. I can run, but i got a slight knock to my right knees once and i was sitting at the side for 15 mins for the pain to subdue. Heh. Satisfying soccer after so not playing for so long.

7-9 Feb - Did St. Andrew's Junior School under Camelot at Changi campsite. It was an all boys school again, except this time its pri 5. Camp was good. On Mon, after break camp, went straight home, then went to office. Had commander's parade at 4pm, then we were released early at 5pm after the parade.

10 Feb - Went home after office hours. Went to meet Saufi, Mangs and Ishak at night. Kira & Yat joined later on at Srisun.

11 Feb - And finally today. Went straight home after office hours thru the drizzle. Heh. Finally, i stayed home and didn't go anywhere at night. Haha.

Well, money's been tight, but never this tight before. $400 to go for my bike repairs payment, and hp bill still accumulating. Haiz. Why can't money drop from the sky of something. The knees is getting better, but not fully recovered. Till then. Adios.
