Right, 2.17am now, just came back from cycling from my house to clark quay then back. Before heading home, got some chicken and beer. Decided to enjoy these while blogging (Should have streamed a movie to enjoy with). Anyway, date is August 2 2012, not the same as the one labeled on this post. As you can see on the post, July 31, 2012, 11.59pm. Yes, I suddenly remembered that day was the last of July's. Popped out of whatever I was doing at that time and logged in to blogger, hoping to publish a dummy post before it's August 1. So now that I finally found the time to blog, let's make this a long one.

Right... Gathering all the information for the past 2 months...

Okay, you can't see, but I sidetracked  to viewing the facebook's news feed...

Here goes, around mid-june, I went to Bali, well, it's supposed to be the two of us, don't know how things turned out that way. We were on the same flight, I noticed you at the pre-boarding area, but didn't wanna look or say hi. I don't know.. But after what happened.. am I supposed to..? Will I even get a reply..? Upon reaching Bali, I left the check-out first, got my luggage and went to get a taxi without looking back. So I went to Ubud and you, to Candidasa. I changed my return flight to Wednesday? Thursday? Anyway, at that point of time, I was just hoping I would not see you again. I chatted with you through facebook, but in the end, before I leave for Singapore, you replied but in the end, you still chose to ignore me. The days I spent there alone was, unexpectedly fantastic, maybe I'll talk about the trip sometime on the next post if I have the time, but just wanna highlight this, while I was in the toilet at Boom-Boom bar, these words were engraved on the wall, 'Life is a journey, jump on and enjoy the ride.)

Dad and mum knew my life at that point of time was, hard and rough. So they tried to cheer me up, the best they could from what I felt. Dad spent almost 3k for me to get my life smooth. New bicycle, oversea trip, more $, parents never fail to be there for me.

NS, yeap, I was waiting for the enlistment letter, but one day when I came home, my mum told me about a government letter, not for enlistment and she doesn't understand what it means. So I went to have a look, confused too, I went online to get more information.... BAM! I got a chance at NDU! I was so, so excited and happy, as I have researched a lot about commando, NDU and sniper, the top 3 toughest, classified unit in SAF. Eventually, I found out that NDU is currently the toughest, so yeah, what I wanted. The vocational assessment was great, got to know some touch-and-go friends who might get a chance to be divers like me. Met a familiar face inside, one of my primary school friend. Some brief explanation about the VA at NDU, did some physical test, no running, and test for water confidence, just swim for 25m. The food there at NDU is awesome, like some low-class restaurant, rice, mash-potato, chicken, vege, clam chowder, and more, even Meiji yoghurt! Then hyperbaric chamber and some brain-power chewing test, all lasted a day. 400 will get chosen for VA, only 80 will be selected to go in.

Ah... the beer is getting to me and I really wanna end here. Post the clubbing and others next time. Signing off.
