Tough Days Ahead..

2 weeks into the semester and I could feel the pressure. Probably it’s normal for students to feel that way especially in the final third. Weeks are coming and going off quickly, somehow, it’s kind of impossible to even stop and catch a breather.

Projects are another factor which adds to it, or I should say the main factor. What makes it interesting is about the groupings of projects mates. New system in which lecturers would decide on the groupings themselves, leaving us with only luck to depend on. Well, it’s not too bad actually, exciting and thrilling at the same time. Of course, there will pros and cons too. Challenging in certain areas. New mates with new styles and ideas. All these need time to adapt and learn.

Fortunately, things ain’t that bad from my point. Communication is not really a problem and working with new people gives me different experiences too. I guess it’s all up to one’s mentality on how to face these projects, tackle them and eventually solve them. It will never be easy but at least, the very least, I would give it a try and my best shot in everything.

Tough as it may seems, gotta be positive and smile! :) I was just chatting with a good friend of mine and I just type this in our conversation.

be it obstacles, competitions or whatsoever,
you gotta hack it down.
be confident.

Okay, I sounds very naggy and theoretical above. Like counselling some troubled child or something. But just some thoughts over the past week or so. Oh yes, I have to mention this, I love weekends now! It’s very important especially with 5 days of school! (Others have free days in their timetable!) Rest is ESSENTIAL! More sleep, more time to reorganise my thoughts and charge for the new week coming ahead.

Football is great, cycling was awesome!

Have a good week ahead!

Cheers!

ATC 2008

Every single year, we will have our annual Adventure Training Camp whereby all the schools in the area will come together in a camp in Pulau Ubin and take part in adventure activities organised for the cadets. As for instructors like myself, we are the organisers of the camp, controlling the whole camp from head to toe, making sure the welfare of cadets at all times and at the same time, enjoying everyone’s company in the 3D2N camp. Due to school, I missed the first day of camp with other instructors. Along with Caroline, Liyana, Mas, Jiatian, WeiZhan, ShuaiQuan, Vincent and Kangwei. We reached the campsite at almost 12 midnight, due to the delay of boats at night.

Taken in the Bus!

The so called “Family Photo!” Haha!

All the Guys instructors waiting impatiently at the Jetty!

By the time we reached campsite, it’s already lights out and cadets are already asleep in their respective tents. Being the logistics school, we gotta prepare the logistics for the next day. With my best instructors, Liyana, Caroline and Fridaus, we managed to get everything in control. The next morning, I was glad to see my cadets. Could see that they were happy to see us too! :)

Doing PT!

Going for Treasure Hunt!

Solving some puzzles..

WAR GAMES!!

Campfire was fun! The climax of the whole camp while we kept singing and singing! It was always the highest point where the instructors just went crazy, without any image on mind!

With Mas!

All the instructors! After the campfire!

The last day was Area Cleaning and I was busy the whole morning. Cleaning, counting and keeping the logistics were very important. Thanks to all the instructors and cadets, we were able to clear all the stuff at an early time.

We had some time and decided to snap some pictures! AREA 1!

Instructors!

Some cadets from Hillgrove (Other Area) came over and took pictures with me! Hahaha! Very nice of them!

Last but not least, my beloved unit! Admiralty!

After which, it’s home sweet home! I lacked of sleep!

Always, always fun to come together, helping one another in someway or another. :) I’m just glad that I have such opportunities. :P

Cheers!

New Semester Starts!

School officially starts tomorrow! New modules, probably new lecturers. But I guess the rest will be same. Definitely, it will be tough and challenging as usual. Or maybe it might be a more rough one. Packed my bag and realised that I’ve not seen my bag and pencil box for quite sometime.

Timetable could have been better. Well, every semester, we complained about almost everything in the world, but we still had to go through everything and this would be no different. Last semester before I go on to serve the country. Something which I’m looking forward to. I mean, graduating from school, not the latter.

Alrights, what happened remained in the past. Let’s look forward to a new and smooth semester!

Here we go! Jiayou!

Cheers!
