hello world! haven't been updating for quite a while now so i guess it's time to catch up!

well, heaven has been really kind to me ever since BMT. i got the chance to be posted to CMPB as a Flying Experience Program trainee where all i had to do were just some admin work and a lot of slacking! they even organised two joyrides with the youth flying club for us to let us gain experience on how flying a smaller aircraft is like. i also have to say that i made many great friends there and if i were given a chance, i wouldn't wanna leave them.

however sad it may be, i still had to go because i had already signed on as a pilot trainee and today was my second day in airforce school. though it's still 8-530 everyday but we had been doing tonnes of check ups and x-rays to prepare us for australia next month. oh, talking about australia. i'm going to tamworth, new south wales next month to fly planes! haha. it's called the Air Grading Course. hopefully i won't get chopped and stay there for the whole of 6 weeks as the instructors are gonna assess on the VERY limited flying knowledge that we have. i heard the passing rate is only a pathetic 20%, so pray hard that i pass!!!

we're gonna get our flight suits tomorrow and i can't wait!!! hopefully i can post some pictures of me in it really soon!!! so wait and see, people! =D wish me luck!

posting results were out on friday and guess what i got; FEP Trainee!!! haha. oh right, for those who didn't know what is FEP Trainee, it means Flying Experience Program Trainee. basically i'm just gonna go to tamworth australia for 2 months to fly an aeroplane! if i pass then i can sign a contract with the RSAF and become a pilot trainee.

SOOOO....PLEASE LET ME PASS!!!!! haha. but in the meantime, i'm just gonna report to the airforce recruitment centre at cmpb to wait and do nothing everyday! haha. i'm so lucky! YAY!

I AM OFFICIALLY DOWN WITH FEVER! urgh. the feeling suck big time. it's like you're feeling groggy 24-7 even after sleeping like the whole day? and my head's so heavy that it's pressing on my eyeballs which in turn is making my eyeballs pop out! i hate to be sick! dang!!!!

woo! i feel like a fat pig now! have been eating macs like almost everyday. tried both the mega mcspicy and mega mac and drank like TONNES of coke! coupled with late night suppers and 5am sleeps, urgh..i feel kinda groggy now. i think i've fallen sick.

still waiting for my blisters and abrasions from the 24km route march to heal so that i can go and RUNNNNNN!! i needa run badly man! if not i'll become fat again and that is a definite no-no. so let's hope that my wounds would be a good boy and heal faster. haha.

went to queensway shopping centre yesterday with weicai, weilun and got myself an adidas bag! i personally feel that it's damn nice! haha. it's only $79 from Limited Edt. =x after which we met up with hairul and alvin at comex. sorry for neglecting you guys!! i'll make it up, i promise! =)

home after that for a short rest until gary called to go play pool at bukit timah at 10plus pm. i didn't know that 4 guys could have so much fun playing pool because during the whole time, weicai was practically spouting all the nonsensical stuff like 'SLAYERS!~ i'm from SLAYERS~'. yup, he's crazy. haha. supper at Al Azhar after that, got ourselves some prata and a murtabak and now i've like a super bad sore throat. and i feel feverish. damn. please, i need to sweat it all out! haha.

okay, i'm running late already!! meeting weicai to go SP today cos he needa return some dvds from the library. oh no! the weather doesn't look too good. think it's gonna rain soon. and i needa go prepare already! till then, ciao~

oh gosh! i just realised i haven't been blogging since my birthday!! and for the whole of BMT i was too busy to even read my own blog! haha. but right now, since i've passed out or so-called graduated from tekong, i think it's time for me to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for all the people in Leopard Coy 03/09 batch.

from the very first moment when i stepped onto tekong, there was this feeling of unfamiliarity everywhere because i didn't know anyone except for a few poly friends whom eventually got into other platoons. but soon i realised i wasn't really alone because i got posted to the best platoon and section in the world, Leopard Platoon 1 Section 3! we were the most enthusiastic of all sections and we bonded alot faster than others. i'll always remember the times where we've gone through so much hardship with our blood, sweat and tears. i'll also not forget the times where we've enjoyed ourselves so much that tears of joy overwhelmed everyone of us.

thank you guys so much for making my bmt experience a very memorable one. i'll always remember talking to hairul on the first day, asking him which platoon he's in. i'll always remember the moment when i found out that joseph, whom i got to know through chanel 5-6 years ago, was my buddy. i'll always remember jonathan who helped me lift my field pack when i was about to die during route march. i'll always remember alvin who went to mohawk's toilet to bathe with me in order to escape the sabotage in our toilet. i'll always remember justin who taught all the valuable 'experiences'. i'll always remember faiz who never fails to play the illogical game. i'll always remember daniel who gave me so much encouragement and taught us how to handle snakes during field camp. i'll always remember jiaqiang for hanging out with me during book out days. i'll always remember benjamin who never fails to make everyone laugh with his cuteness. i'll always remember milton who helped me work on the song 'memories'. i'll always remember chor kiat for always going to the toilet to shit ever so often. i'll always remember sheng xuan for being si-bei-on (SBO). i'll always remember bernard for the admiration he's shown for lady gaga. i'll also always remember the rest of leopard coy whom i got to know because without you guys, leopard coy would not be leopard coy anymore. and you guys are the ones who made leopard coy special. lastly, i'll always remember all the sergeants and enciks for the togetherness, unity and valuable lessons you've taught us during the short 8 weeks and 2 days. thank you all so much people. you guys will forever be in my heart. let's hope that wherever we go, be it ocs, sispec or anywhere else, we would be able to enjoy our remaining time as an nsf. take care people. =)

i am officially singing myself a birthday song.

'HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DESMOND! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!'

and this very day marks the beginning of my adulthood! after spending 21 years of my life under the arms of my parents (not that it's gonna stop anytime soon. =x), i can now pronounce myself, a MAN!

a MAN, ready to serve the nation in 3 days time! a MAN, ready to lead his men on the battlefield! oh gosh, i'm feeling all patriotic already! haha. but still, turning 21 isn't a thing to be happy about. cos with this age, comes great responsibility. (sounds familiar eh?) haha. there are lotsa things i have to be accounted for but i believe it's gonna train me into a more complete man that i've always aspired to be. heh.

anyway, the past week was greatelicious! spending precious time with all my beloved friends! catching up, having dinner or just seeing them makes me feel so happy that God has blessed me with all these wonderful soulmates! thank God for everything. =)

and since i'm going in on monday, 13th July 2009, i wanna take this opportunity to thank all those who have been through thick and thin with me! though i might not show it, but i really do appreciate all the help and guidance, fun and laughter that you guys have given me. if i were to be given a chance, i wouldn't wanna lose any single one of you guys. =') please take great care of yourselves and i wish you luck in your future endeavours! =D

i noticed there's something wrong with my body. i don't eat a lot but i just keep getting FATTER!!! argh. damn my metabolism rate. why couldn't it be faster? i always envy those people with extremely high metabolism rate (i.e. ong caleb). if only i had a higher metabolism rate then i would be able to enjoy and indulge in whatever i eat. =x

anyway, i just remembered that i had a nightmare. no, in fact it was 2 nightmares consecutively. well, you might think that it's normal for people to dream twice in a row but there's something weird about my nightmares. what made me so worried is that both if them were about SPIDERS! let me recall what i had dreamt of.

okay, the first nightmare depicted me walking around some weird room. (couldn't really 'see' the background) then all of a sudden, millions of tiny spiders just came rushing out of nowhere! these spiders all had tiny legs and a greenish, reddish colour and it made me literally jumped out of bed. eeewww. the thought of it already makes me feel like puking.

i went back to sleep straight after, thinking it was just my mind pulling some tricks on me. but who knows, my subconscious state of mind would continue to make a fool out of me. i dreamt that i came into a room, with a greyish (blurred) background and there was someone sleeping on a bed. when i leaned to take a closer look, i saw a huge (and i mean HUGE) tarantula!!! but the funny thing was that the tarantula was grey in colour. weird huh.

well, i woke up and finally decided that enough was enough. so i just switched on my laptop and began searching for information regarding dreams and spiders. so, guess what i've found.

(these sources were taken from dream2live.com) 'In African fables, spiders are depicted and characterized as devious and tricky. Even in modern western society we associate spiders with trickery.'

(come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly. Our web of deceit. The tangled webs we weave).

'This is most likely because spiders lure and ensnare their prey. If you are dreaming about spiders, there is a possibility that your dream is warning you that you may be tangled up in a web of deceit. Take a good look at those around you, especially those in whom you have put your trust.'
