Saturday 30/09:
Just when I was about to go out, my sister just came back from some serious shopping, so I asked her along, and she was more than willing to.
In the end, it turned out she bought more things than me, and more like me accompanying her instead of the other way. Simply amazing! It greatly backs up all the things I read about women, LoL...
Friday 29/09:
131 Bwc Departure to Pearce, Perth.
How saddening it was, I was almost in tears before the wives and girlfriends of those people in the namelist of 18 (instead of e usual 20).
A few of us were left out, worst of was Chee Wee and I were part of 09/05 Agc, many whom of gone in this course. So it looks like we'll be waiting till end of the year or early next year... Goodness gracious...
Seeing the people sending off the guys, only emphasizes me that when its my turn, nobody should even be around, not even family, or I'll tear for sure. Now, we don't want that to happen do we?
Came up with a few things to take up during this period, well it would be interesting I guess.
In the afternoon, went to alter my gsuit at LSSO, where I drove and had to get cleared by the RPs at the gate. And he really made my day!
Why? Here's the brief account of what happened:
Drove the car and stopped at the barrier, was wearing my flight suit.
"Good afternoon Sir!" He saluted with his rifle and signalled me to open the car's boots and step out.
"Hi, good afternoon." Made my way to the rear of the car.
"Sir, may I take a look into this box? What does it contain?"
"Yeah of course, all my clothes for my overseas training are inside."
"Oh I see, then its okie Sir! I wish you all the best for your training Sir!" (This really cheered me up.)
Closed the boots, and stepped back into the car where he closed the door for me, and rifle saluted me. (This made my day.)
Thursday 28/09:
Yet another peaceful day, morning brief was so-so.
Went out with Woan Rong, too bad couldn't get things to work. Haha I'm a mess with the roads there, like totally. Well I kinda had fun exploring the roads the wrong way but the general sense of direction is still there. Thankfully, if not must call for help not very nice.
Really missing Japanese food, even though I just had it with her for dinner. More, More! But kinda expensive, must go for the buffets, more worth it.
Had some dota training with Woan Rong, very rare to see girls play this game eh? However I also just play it because a lot of the guys do that, trend follower?
Wednesday 27/09:
Had a super nice massage today, haha looking forward to the Wednesday, two weeks from today again!
Tuesday 26/09:
Jason still in Agc, Tamworth, test one coming really soon, oh well all the best for him, poor Michelle. Did what I could to help, he better pass man!
Monday 25/09:
It was more than expected that Hady Mirza won, my sisters totally can't believe it. Yet another successful attempt of good life skills tested! It was nice to see the parents treating each other with so much respect, well I'm sure Jonathan will make it big somehow too, but definitely not as good as Hady!
And oh, I'm no fan of either of them, both deserve to win the place!
Tuesday - Sunday 19/09 - 24/09:
Finally the last weekend! If you know what I mean... Very long story...

Apparently having some trouble to sleep, mind at work again...
Anyway, what a day. Most of the 131 guys ain't here (clearing leave) so our room was like so quiet. Until Jian Lin came in for a moment, and then later Chee Wee got a little lunatic, poor boy. Still can't accept reality...
Well I have, and so moved on. Just look forward. For such a good thing, its worth waiting for. It only makes me more satisfied when I have achieved it!
We had a little talk at the end of the day by Maj Noel, so everyone left camp kinda late. Kailin and I had dinner together at the mess, playing puzzle fighter (which happens to be the latest craze during breaks) while waiting for the food.
Haha, as usual I got owned, not good at such games, arcade related.
The day simply passed so fast, awesome. Very soon, everything would be all over, life would be good again!

Sunday 17/08:
You know something? The beauty of keeping chat history is simply wonderful! I can simply just read through it all and be surprised at myself.
The things I do/did for people, can't believe it myself! Its simply amazing!
However its all in the past, but its nice to think about it once in awhile I guess. I happen to have quite a fulfiling college life, of course there were ups and downs.
Today I made better friends with Ken, a Thai trainee posted here. We had many superb rallying over the court, outstanding!
Its almost over now, one more week! So far so good I guess. Hmmm kinda regret I wasn't able to go out, drats.
Just a quickie about the week:
Saturday 16/09:
Met the friend I made two weeks ago, had to wait pretty long for the do to come, so managed to know each other better.
Friday 15/09:
Food was bad, went to the mess and had 4 sandwiches and 'mee siam' serving for happy hour.
Gonna be a long weekend...
Thursday 14/09:
Sor was fine, managed to catch glimpses of some of the guys' parents and relatives. Shows a lot of to me, stuff like that I won't bother saying.
Chat with May Chen for quite awhile. My apologies that it made you lose sleep... >.<
Depressing...
Wednesday 13/09:
Home, in quite awhile! Went to treat myself with some pain and comfort. LoL. But met a vey skilled lady, the name's Claudia.
Also picked up my second sis, had a brief heart-to-heart talk.
Tuesday 12/09:
Dinghy drill again, kinda shocked that Sathesh panicked under the parachute. Thank goodness it was all over after he cleared it. The dip into the water was really welcomed.
Thank you Jeradine for answering the questions I think I couldn't ask anyone else! Guess I was right after all about you know who...
Can't believe I made yet another mistake without even realising it! Took me so long then to find out about it...
When will I ever learn the lessons that hit me hard back in college? Even after brushing up so much on it all these times!
What should I do...? Hmmm...
Monday 11/09:
Been awhile since I went to work, surprised to learn that Jason had already left, wish him best of luck at tamworth.
Sunday 10/09:
This day had to come, I'm just wishing it would over really quickly...
Saturday 09/09:
Happy Birthday to many, especially my elder sister! Oh mind so old already, still no boyfriends. Yikes! >.<
Jiahui too, don't know how long never sms le, well at least caught up a little. Get more Sleep!

Sunday 04/09:
Still up around this time, I actually just watched finish a documentary about Going Mecca. Its about muslims going to the place where it all happens on the last month of the muslim calender.
Pretty inspired about the clip, somehow I just went back to my labtop and there came 3 emails. It was all about religious stuff, you know the kind of messages they send around. It has also been awhile since I received such emails.
You don't need a major in Psychology to know that things like that happen for a reason. Whatever it is, I'm just so fascinated!
Perhaps someday I guess...

Friday 01/09:
Today is the day. At long last I guess?
Didn't even know what I had signed up for.
It would be the first time I would be staying in a hospital and also dressed in that blue clothing. Actually just two pieces of cloth, worn one back and front.
"Now I know how she felt..." That thought first went through my mind. (Knowing everyone would keep asking me who's that she.)
I lay there on the bed, resigning to my fate, trying to get my mom to go home and stop worrying about me.
"Why should she be worried when I'm not?" Did I say I was not worried?
They kept asking me for my name, nirc, allergic to any drug, etc. Countless times. I entered some super clean room, where I sat on the couch and watch Oprah. Then I lay on a bed, beside the operating threatre.
An anethetist came up to me and inserted a needle into my vein on my left hand, that felt really uncomfortable.
Pushed into the operating threatre, still recalling all that drilling I heard from the previous patient. All the lights on the ceiling, I looked around and saw the nurses, the doctor going to operate on me and all the equipment.
Strapped in, plugged in and the last thing I could remember was the doctor telling me I'm going to feel very sleepy in a moments time. So true!
When I regained consciousness, it was already nearing noon, meaning everything was over. I felt weak, but my mind was starting to gather information of my surroundings. As I started to turn my head and roll my eyes analysing, a nurse asked about my well being. I was rolled back into the ward.
There I had to 'jump' onto the ward bed by myself, all my muscles were regaining their strength, surely but slowly. I lay there helplessly, still feeling drowsy.
Couldn't remember how many times I lost conscious or should it be fell asleep? The first few times were because of the pain I was starting to feel from the surgery. Even reaching out to press the button to call the nurse was hard. Felt totally helpless!
The painkillers took awhile before it took effect, the nurse also helped me to change the gauze in my mouth, which I didn't even know about it in the first place! Opening my mouth was already like it could kill, not to mention change the gauze.
Trying my best in doing that, and not able to control my mouth at all, I spilled a lot of blood onto the bed and my clothings. That was really gross. As much as I tried to clear the blood in my mouth, it seemed like it won't stop.
On one of my 'waking up' moments, saw my mom already by my side. She brought the book I wanted her to kill time. Only managed to read a few pages before I went unconscious again.
At that time, I really can't wait to get discharged.
Towards 3pm, my body was aching a little from too much rest and staying put in that upright lying position. But my mind was already clear, but the bleeding never stopped. Finally able to discharge after the doctor came and examined me! Collected some medicine before we took a bus back.
I really hope I would never step into the hospital for any reasons like that, must really take care of my health. Its so terrible...
Anyway, to all my dearest family and friends, my apologies for keeping you in the dark about it. It's not because you are not important to be informed but rather because your are too important that I decided not to tell you.
But also to those who knew, which was after the successful operation, thanks also. Somehow it was good to know that there are people who care. Just that we don't spell it out so oftenly.
My grandmom popped by to check me out, they were both telling me not to go for the class gathering I'm having later in the evening. Of course that fell on deaf ears, I even took the car!
Picked Aunt Mei up, not before going to the wrong condominium, and later meeting up with the rest at Suntec, mostly late as usual. Great to see all of them again, well not all but most, and of course those who are more dear to me!
Ate at Marche, of course I couldn't eat, so I drank a little and tried a little food so as to blend in a little? Was having some difficulty talking due to the gauzes in my mouth, so I was kinda muffled.
It was all fun, talking, celebrating birthday, taking photos and stuff. Decided to go play pool at Parkway, something that I suggested! Haha... That Chee Wei left us to meet his girlfriend, best man! -_-
Almost forgot to put coupon, but luckily Peiyun reminded me! Games were great, won Tian Cai and Serene, but not without some funny moments from them! LoL! After all that, it was really tiring and my mouth was hurting more.
Drove Aunt Mei home, dropping birthday boy Edwin Z and Jason before that, then Kok Siang and Shou Zhi. Then when I was all ready to sleep, Shou Zhi had to call and tell me to meet him because he dropped his phone in my car!
What a Day...
Saturday 02/09:
Met up with Serene, after dropping my sister for service at expo. Had some food at CS's foodcourt before we rolled over to chill at Starbucks. She as pretty tired, poor thing.
I definitely must try my best to get out of ntu...
Sunday 03/09:
Still downing lots of crappy food, but also not much appetite for all that forbidden food that I can't eat now. Stop the porridge now!
Thank goodness for my mom, whipping up some variations now and then, otherwise I would have really died, literally man. Can't imagine how I will survive without them for 10months!
