Hi everyone, my feelings and thoughts currently feels like its gonna explode....for a while, its fine being positive....then a while later, it starts to get deeper and deeper into the negativity aspect. This feeling sucks, I've never had such sort of a feeling before and its just simply suffering I would say.
Surprisingly I managed to zonk off immediately once I crawled onto my bed but the point whereby my alarm rang, I realised that I slept for only 4 hours... Hopefully I won't feel lethargic in camp throughout the day.
Realised that this is reality and everyone has to face it be it who or where you are.
Anyway, I can't think of anymore to say further and so I'm gonna leave now and I'll post again once I'm out. Pray and bless me :)
Bye everyone :(

Pre-enlistment Preview
This is my long-awaited and last post before my enlistment till I get out upon 2 weeks of confinement at Kranji Camp II.
I remembered the day whereby I received the letter from MINDEF and calculated roughly about 60 over days prior to my enlistment. I panicked and started to train up my physique and hoping that I could pass my NAPFA so as to skip the 8 weeks of additional fitness training and so prolong my free time in civilisation. I trained really hard and brother Lionel helped so much as well. Thank you bro for the support and effort!
Oh well, I failed the tests and so am enlisting on the actual day as planned. Kinda sad and depressed these few days but it's already final whereby I've got to face the music. There are many close friends whom shared their experiences and advices, I really do appreciate them and hope I will put them into good use.
Recently, I had been kinda busy getting prepared for my enlistment which is tomorrow. Had to get like plenty of stuff like insect repellent, toiletries, ample number of army clothes and also making a new spectacle at the optician. Have been also drinking alot with my friends and my sister Amanda had also just gotten back from Melbourne. Trying to be as positive as ever towards what I will be facing, difficult but I'm sure I'll do fine.
I realised that I've yet to accomplish or do plenty of things such as like meeting up with my secondary school friends, my ACSi friends and also my other friends. I'm really sorry guys, really could have made the best effort even when I was kinda busy. I will see you guys soon.
Really do appreciate the comfort and motivation I get from my family and friends, its one of the most important factors in life whereby one is going through a difficult phase in their life but yet they'll definitely tide through with the help of their close ones. A big thank you and hug to all :)
Yesterday, I shaved my head at a Malay barber at Siglap Centre... was kinda like awkward at first with Nav watching and all, then towards the end, I felt that I actually do look fine with the least amount of hair on my head despite the fact that its obviously better with my usual hairdo. The picture of me bald is on Facebook @ http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150211738041193&set=t.674171192&type=1&theater. Don't laugh at it!
My current thoughts now knowing that I will be heading into my 2 years of service in camp starting from tomorrow is that, I'm still jittery and sour about it but will try my utmost best to do myself proud and for those people around me too.
By the way, I've gotten a lousy NOKIA phone which I'll be using another number, I will not reveal the number due to privacy reasons.... but if you need to contact me, you can leave a message on my current cell number and I'll get back to you once I'm home after my 2 weeks of confinement and the subsequent weekends when I'm out alright.
Do wish me all the best and you may leave your well wishes on my wall on facebook. Thank you and I'll be right back :)
That's all for now, I will do my next post either tonight or before I leave in the morning tomorrow.

It's been a week since I updated my blog...
I've stopped working for the time being, reason being that I wanna concentrate for my last Napfa this Wednesday. I've been training everyday without fail even though I've just got well from a week having like random fevers, coughs and body aches.
Today will be the last day for me to train up for this Wednesday and tomorrow it'll be a day of rest and some pampering, will be doing Sports Massage at Laguna to relief my sore muscles and aching joints.
Still kinda feeling sore from the post-Genting back to reality kind of life... Really miss that carefree number of days whereby whatever issues back in Singapore weren't in my head...that sort of feeling and having a clear mind was fantastic. Oh well, will look forward upon another trip which might not happen anytime soon unless I pass my Napfa and have more time to plan another trip with my close pals.
There's like so much worries in my mind regarding about the army, I really can't help it, I can't clear my mind, had been brooding about it ever since I'd gotten my letter. But at least I have a brother and close friends to advice me... but still, they've been through it but I've not, so I really don't know what I'd expect 100% fully.
Enough about my rantings, the past few days was just basically resting at home and heading for my exercise in the evening. Had Teppanyaki at Russell's place for like a pre-birthday gathering on Friday night. The food was great but once again, I had forgotten to take some pictures... But I do have the ones taken when the cake was brought out. Will post them another time yea.
Saturday night was an enjoyable hang-out with my friends at Nabins, I've not seen them for like close to a year and reminiscing and reliving those periods when we were hanging out was simply fun and enticing...Hope to see you guys real soon again although I can't get over the idea that I'm hanging out with friends whom are younger than me but oh well haha..
Anyway, gotta rest and will do my last regime later in the evening, please give me all your blessings and luck as I really do need it on Wednesday, thanks!

Back from Genting and its rather quite depressing knowing that all fun has ended and reality is where we're back to. This trip was really enjoyable and I'm not sure when there's another trip again.
This trip made me realised the meaning of friendship, coherence amongst us and our close ones such as friends, family or whomever it may be. I miss the trip so much, the fun and joy we had was unexplainable and beyond words that could describe. Stepping back onto Singapore grounds told me that I'm back into reality and wonderful things don't last long and will occur once in a while only. Hope all will be well in the future and will look forward to a next trip together soon or in the near future.
Guys and bro, thank you for making this trip happen, remember the anticipation and excitement before all had happened? Now it's over and it'll just be great memories at the back of our head and deep in our heart. You guys are great company and I really did enjoy this trip so so so so much :)

 |
| Luckily we got upgraded and had the best seats and on-board entertainment |

It hit me real hard when one by one left the cab and headed back home, but I hope that there'll be another trip ahead of us.
