Hello everyone! Welcome back to this dead blog. Haha.

I POP-ed on Wednesday, now as private Chia and awaiting my posting results. Wednesday was one of my happiest day. It seemed as though it was the end of NS for me. (I wished) So while waiting anxiously for my posting results, I should just enjoy as much as I can!

Thursday was nothing much. I went to Starbucks to see Wanah and talked to her. Haven't seen her for a very long time and she had a lot of things to tell me. Wrote my journal at Starbucks and watched Little Miss Sunshine. It is not too bad and the characters acted not too bad. But there isn't a lot of emotions that will run through you, more like a "learn from the characters" film.

Friday wasn't too bad. Went to The Cage for soccer with my platoon mates. I ended up taking more photos then played soccer. (: In the evening, I met up with Teresa and Shu'en for dinner at Bedok. We ordered a whole table of food, like what Teresa imagined. It was a super long time since I last feast-ed (is there such a word?) and it seemed like an alien to me.

Yesterday I headed over to my cousin's place with my sister cause my sister wanted to get clothes from my cousins. After that we went to Eastpoint for lunch. Lunch was horrible because I ate Root Beer battered Fish and Chips. The combination didn't turn out well I guess. But the ice cream turned out better than expected. Maybe I should just go there for ice-cream when I move house.

Anyway, I'm moving to the East (more East than my current location) to somewhere between Simei and Tanah Merah. So no more Parkway Parade or Big Splash Starbucks but Eastpoint and its Starbucks. If you want company come find me!

Back to yesterday. After lunch we went to Tampines 1 (for my first time) and I went to UniQlo. I bought a belt but realised that it is too big. So now I need to find someplace to allow me to get my belt punched. Anyone knows where? L4d-ed in the evening with Jian Yong and Jude after dinner at Katong Shopping Centre.

Today is a messy day. Moving house soon means I need to pack now! My room was in a mess and is still in a mess. Everything is flying everywhere and I don't know why I kept my Secondary 3/4 worksheets! Hopefully I'll be done by tomorrow or something so I can enjoy my block leave and not spend time on useless packing. In the evening, I went out with Hector for dinner at Fish and Co. and later walked to Esplanade to watch this Korean band OHBROTHERS! perform. They were super good and cute I tell you. You should have been there, it is really like therapy!

Let's see what will happen tomorrow. Hope that it will be okay (:

Hello I'm back!

18 days past quite fast. I think it is because I was looking forward to the next RO every day. Tekong is really not as bad as I thought it would be, just that the weather there is horrendous. It is really hot and when CAT 1 siren comes on and you hope that it will rain, it will just drizzle or the clouds will just pass.

Next week is field camp. I really hope it will turn out well. And the next time I'm back will be on Friday. See you then!

#225

Hello people, or rather bye people. In around 12 hours I will be taking the boat to Tekong and report to my second home. Away for 18 days doesn't sound too bad. Just think of me going for 6 consecutive chalets. Not that bad I think.

I've packed my bag and ready to go. It is now time to make new friends. (: See you all again in 3 weeks time. Hopefully I have a lot to tell.

The two universities haven't replied me yet. Most likely I will only get my admission results when I'm in army. And on Thursday, I finally browsed my inbox. There were more than 100 because Facebook has been spamming me with a lot of notifications. And I happen to see an email from PSC! This was what it emailed me:

Thank you for your interest and application for a Civil Service Scholarship.

2 PSC has noted your accomplishments and considered your application in totality, including the academic and non-academic aspects. After reviewing your scholarship application thoroughly and in competition with the other applications received, we regret that we are not able to consider your application favourably.

3 We appreciate the effort you have put into your application and your interest in our scholarship. We wish you every success as you continue with your education.

Ya, very sad, but I will not get my teaching scholarship. However, there is still one more out there and I'm still waiting. If I don't get it, I think I'll be okay cause there are so many out there who are getting straight As and I didn't get so it should be okay for me. (:

I think i need my dose of Life 4 dead because of Andre, Brandon and Sylvia. If you need people to play with you come ask me to play also before I enlist on Monday.

There goes my hair cause I cut it on Thursday. I look okay, I think. The Malay barber was funny. He told me not to smoke, ask me to bid farewell to my hair and talk to me about army. I till definitely go back there if I need to shave again.

#223

Andre Wang Hong Wei you suck. You are the one to be blamed.

#222

I don't know whether I should worry. My NUS and NTU application have not been processed yet. All my other friends have already got their confirmation from these two universities, and it is impossible for me not to get into anyone of the universities with my score. Moreover, the scholarship boards I have applied haven't replied me yet. I don't really know what I should do now - worry or just wait patiently.

#221

So much for being best friends. Thank you very much.

#220

I do not understand why people are so forgetful, or so ignorant abour their surroundings and other people's feelings. It is always so last minute and people have to change plans because of them. These people, should deserve a shot in the head or they would better be off dead.

#219

Ever felt like you are just playing along with the other people cause you don't know who they really are? Or you being prohibited to the place you love the most cause they will laugh at you? Or even talking non-stop but nothing ever goes into their heads? You feel helpless, so helpless that you don't trust anyone, don't dare to talk about your problems, afraid that something bad might happen to you.

This is what I am feeling now. And today will just be another day like that.
