Typed a whole chunk of stuff and deleted all away. Reason being i just feel inappropriate to write it here.
"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand"

POP ORH!!
I'm no longer a chao recruit and is a PTE from 10th March!
Yes! I've POP-ed!!
Woke up at 4am to get ready for our 24km graduation route march.
Route march was tiring... Fun... memorable... (and all positive adjectives that fits here).
I don't exactly enjoy my time in BMT, but given a choice, I would still wanna stay in my coy for the remaining of my NS. By I know its time to move on. Time for tougher training, to be a better man. =)
Anyway, looking back at certain activities we had for the 9 weeks. I decided to post something special/interesting about these events.
Live Range
Best invention: SAR 21 Scope. Its just good. =)
Worst invention: none. But if there needs to be something here, i'll say its IA!! (Luckily my "wife" didn't give me this problem during live range.)
Urban Ops
Best invention: Urban Ops is the best invention. Cos its really fun. lolx.
Worst invention: Blanks! Because nothing comes out when you fired but you're left with lots of carbon to clean!
HG throw
Best invention: Ear plugs! =)
Worst invention: nil
Field Camp
Best invention: Toilet bowl!! I'm sure there's no disagreement with this. Combat Ration is another one. Engineering gloves was helpful too.
Worst invention: Digging of shellscrape? lolx. Its tiring, but its "worth the effort" cos we get to have tactical RO after that! Wahaha! SHIOK!
SITest
Best invention: Toggle rope. Its your "ticket" to command school. lolx
Worst invention: Leopard crawl! Stretcher!
Route March
Best invention: Leukoplast! This is really damn good. Prevents your legs from getting blisters. I used it for my route marches and its really useful. Shall post the pic next time.
Worst invention: Muddy pathway? Route march with rain? lolx
(TO BE CONTINUED) I'm going off for dinner! =)
Sing! Sha la la la la~
la la la la la la la ~
I am recruit Jian Lin
I don know what to say.

So you better go off my way now,
or I'll call your name!
Sing! Sha la la la la~

I cant believe this song can last us 4km. =) It was the most fun 4km.
Yes! I've POP-ed!!

A level results...
I know this post comes rather too late. But anyway.. here it is...
AAAB.
B for GP.
Good enough?
To others, this may be a good result already. But it isn't for me. Perhaps my expectations are just too high for me. Or am I someone who will not be satisfied with whatever thats given to me? I hope its not the latter. For i know that all i wished for was 4 As and a B for GP was good enough.
On the other hand, I think quite a few people really expected me to perform better.
I don't know exactly how to put it, but i think you guys would understand after reading this.
Friday, i went up the stage to recieve the cert. Richard was saying that he's quite shock that i don't seem happy when i went up. And yes, I'm not exactlt happy about it. But, i don't think i'm sad too.
Anyway, i went up to Mrs Tan and heres what happen. She took a look at my results and said "I thought you could do better."
I was not surprised by what she said. I was calm but obviously, i do not know how else to respond.
I just thought thats just a better way to tell me that you've not met our expectations for you, or worst still, you've done badly.
Like I said, I'm satisfied with a B for GP. For I know I need to put in much much more effort if I'm really desperate for an A.
B for Econs. Disappointed? Not sure.
On first thought, I'm quite (to be honest, its very) disappointed with it. Firstly because its the only subject that I'm very interested and passionate about. Secondly, my econs grades has been rather consistent.
But on second thought, I knew I don't deserve an A if I'm really got it (honestly). It was the only subject that i did not study completely for the A levels. So i'm to blame for the grades i guess.
To think about it, I still think life isn't always fair. (I know i just nagging and nagging.) Theres certain things which i feel strongly about but i just will not say it or blog about it. For it can be rather sensitive. Those who know me well MAY know what i thinking about bahz.
To sum up my grades, its 4As and 3Bs.
I've kind of dropped the idea of applying for those prestigous scholarships. To think about it, theres just so many people out there with 7As. And those are the people that I'm competing with. Even though I may have CIP and some impressive CCA, I'm still not confident.
I think I'm just being realistic.
Went for SMU open house. Pondering whether to apply for school of business or Economics. Yes, the subject that i didnt do well in. =) The speaker for the School of Economics didn't really tell us much about what the course has to offer. All he did was to tell us more about the financial crisis and the budget this year. But I think it was very interesting as he analysed certain things. And most people will not be able to think of such things unless they think deep enough.
No matter what, I knew that a double degree in both will solve my problem. I just worried that i would not be able to cope. My mum's more worried though. =) Anyway, it'll still be my "first choice". I'm just thinking which course to put as my first choice. (I doubt anyone knows what i'm talking about though)
NUS and NTU open house this weekend. Shall go see see.
I'm thinking of taking the SAT reasoning test. Just to "boost" my chance of getting to a good uni and course and hopefully my confidence. But thats only if i can obtain a good score.
Not exactly sure if i wanna take it. For it'll mean that i'll have to mug hard (again). Honestly, I've forgotten much that i've learnt in school.
4 more days to make up my mind. I know it'll be too late in the end.

I just recieved a call from ms chua from pj telling me to go sch earlier. My first reaction? None. Throughout the phonecall, the only thing on my mind was... Who's miss Chua? lolx. It took a long while for me to realize that its miss kelly chua. lolx.
Somehow, i'm not nervous/excited/etc etc etc about the results. A levels result has not been occupying my mind for the one whole week while i'm in tekong. Even till this morning, i just "numb" about everything. (But my mum is overly excited about my results.)
Perhaps its because of tekong thats the cause of this.
Anyway, I just cant believe that i managed to clear my SOC within the timing. 6.18 min. lolx. I'm happy with that timing though i know i cant go faster.=) No more SOC (for now at least).
GP rehearsal was... ... I dont know how to describe too. But i know that no matter how tired i am, i'll still make sure i'll finish the whole thing. =)
Those days leading to POP was just great. I'm "complaining" about having too much time for stand two. (If you guys understand.lolx.)
4 more days to POP!!
I'm getting more sick. Kept coughing the whole night. I need my well deserved one week or so block leave.

I'm back from Tekong.. (again)
But then again... its not exactly "again"... if you know what i mean..
Had IPPT on Friday. The last and the actual one. I PASSED IT! And I've got Silver! =)
Must say its a big achievement for me. From fail to silver. From 2 pull ups to 8 pull ups. From 12:16 for 2.4km till 10+++. Its really something that i've never done before. BMT has indeed brought me to achieve certain things that i've not done before or do not think i could do.
Once a zero fighter, never a zero fighter! =)
I'm finally seriously sick while in tekong. Blame myself from being too "tan chi" bah. lol. Had fever on fri. Reached up to 38.2 degree. Today was better le.. but my throat hurts badly. Really very painful.
A levels results releasing soon. As usual, i'm still lost. I'm still not sure when i'll finally find the right path thats suitable for me... Haiz...
Gonna POP real soon. As much as i would go command school, i wished i could remain in my coy for the remaining of my 2 years.
