chris - its been a while

hey its been awhile since im updated
loads of things have been happening
the workplan video is over, quite happy with it
was tough but good to stretch my design muscles again

im back in training now,
NDU training is kinda hardcore,
im currently keeping up with everything
except running, sigh my running is terrible

on the other hand,
i been having loads of fun lately,
my batch boys are crazy, all with their quirks
i now understand why NS is like this "thing"
among dudes, like once u are it, a brotherhood or something
of tough nuts, who were tekan-ed till senseless
all the ways to test the system and not get caught,
sharing field camp experiences
no wonder the girls always get pissed off when they get 3 or army dudes together and aall we talk about is the same thing for hours.. haha

i went to the singapore flyer!
damn its nice,
just felt crazy on labour day,
and since i was supposed to meet jane,
just to catch up and stuff, since we havent met up since i enlisted
=D photos

Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket

super high, the view is fantastic,
next time im going, im going during sunset,
heard its beautiful
night is nice, maybe that will be better lol


went for meihua's 21st,
all the photos i took on the dslr are all on facebook
she looked fantastic,
i completely think shes a party animal..
but it was fun,
i got one of my batch boys that looks like her sister,
very disturbed,

gonna bring my cousins to go watch iron man
even tho i have watched iron man already
but its all good,
i think i have been a ingrate this few years
kinda selfish,
my aunts and uncles all have been buying presents for me for birthdays or stuff,
but i havent bought them anything
damn,
so yeah my plan to make sure
for friends or family,
if its their birthday i have to make it a point to call them
or at least try to get them something decent as a present
and taking care of my family,
my 2 new year resolutions..

chris - the only blogging on a weekday recruit

while waiting for the computer to render my huge amounts of files,
i shall take the time to blog,
and MSN
and check mail,
check facebook,

and still work late hours to come out with a 4th draft video by wednesday
wonder if anyone ever had to single handedly work on a project like this
with such a tight deadline and survived?
hmmmm.. cuz im really the only one doing this thing, other than a Staff Andy,
who is a nice dude and a christian who helps me get clips and sorts them out accordding to events.

really Thank God for the nice people in my unit, both in the BMT side and the HQ side,
HQ is where im doing this video btw,
i get to rest when my brain is about to die,
and theres a sofa! but im not on it all the time..
occasionally, =D when my brain is fried scramble eggs


sunday was desmond's birthday,
damn tired stuff,
waited to surprise him at like 2am,
madness

okay i gtg,

chris - endless video editing

im now a diver and a video editor,
ah well, the perks of serving the country..
lol

anyway, hows everyone?
its like my 2nd/3rd week as a army dude,
and boy i miss being a civilian
being able to go out when i wish to,
calling out friends just to slack hang out or catch a movie,
or church-wise go for cell on wednesdays..

i used to take these freedoms for granted,
now i cant even do anything fun on a weekday.. awwwww..
ahah i watched 10000 bc its not bad,
still worth watching somewhat,

next week step up 2! woot..

okay gotta go,
gotta go chiong training tml

chris - first book out

1st march
1st book out
10 days of confinement and training saikang and getting burnt

there were its fun times,
the initial period of culture shock,
getting used to the army bed
knowing how much we took for granted the things we did as a civilian
army changes people
its true

when i first got the confirmation that we can leave for home,
the feeling ah, the sense of freedom,
is potent man, everyone was high, all whooped as we shouldered our heavy field packs and walked to the
nearest main road to flag a taxi
i sat in the taxi, it felt surreal
im in a cab! not a bus or a 5-tonner,
stuff that every ns man misses (usually)
: own bed
: msn
: computer
: Friends
: outside life cinemas, shoping centres blah blah

NDU is fun.. really,
the training is crazy, arms are like super sore lah,
i could do like 8 pull ups at first,
then got trained then now im a "zero-fighter"
meaning i cant even do one,
now in the process of running,
we got issued with this shorts
the diver "sexy" shorts
think FBT shorts, but got a slit at the sides
uber funny cuz we train wearing this shorts, no shirt, and with either boots or PT shoes


im now, UBER dark
2 more weeks of this and i be darker than rachel wong
it was good going to church and ant's house and seeing everyone again
everyone was making fun of my hair, hahaha
my botakness

2 hours more to book in time,
gotta pack my bag, see you all on the weekend
=D

chris - NDU, new chapter, mindtear

all my bags are packed im ready to go
im standing here at my door
i'd hate to leave and say goodbye
but the dawn is breaking
it's early morn
the ferry's waiting it's circling around
i'm not ready i'm so tired i could die

so save me and pray for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
don't worry i am never letting go
cos i'm leaving on a submarine
dont know if i will clean machines
oh man, i hate to go

this was made by christine for me,
my going to NDU present and randomness, but totally appreciated nonetheless

going in in like 5 hours time,
im still not sleeping cuz i still have stuff to clear and things to think about,
my bags are packed,
im ready to go,
cept for blogging and a few emails
and second-guessing meself in decision-making,
jane is right, i cant decide everything on my own,
pray and let go and leave it to God to decide,

oh yeah, i met this new friend,
the girl called jane, (theres a maroon 5 song bout this)
shes 18 and supa accomplished in her own right,
in terms of idea, networking and events,
i feel quite inadequate next to her,
what was i doing at 18?
well nothing much... gahhh, cant afford to waste any more time
she is pretty funny and a designer, altho she isnt formally trained yet
best of all, she a christian, with the same kind of weird christian walk as i had,
backslide, slide into some dark phase of life, and now its like coming up for air,
and sunlight, so its a sense of kinship i dun really have with anyone else,

anyway back to NDU
going in for 10days booking out on 1st march,
cuz apparently we dun have confinement, our training is crazy enough apparently
thank you everyone for the well wishes, the dinners/lunches and msn convos
i feel blessed to have this many friends
cell group, if anyone from there reads here,
thanks for the dinner, really got gratitude right there,
i brought photos inside..for fun, a friend asked me to do that, says makes army slightly more bearable..

//i hope im right, prayer for now, action later
