17-28 june 2011 brunei jungle survival course

In a few more hours time, i will be at paya lebar airbase flying to Brunei.

It will be C130 military flight. Yeh positive thinking is not many people get to experience this aircraft, and six of us do. 3hours flight to Brunei, 1hour slower than commercial flights.

17th -28th will be in Brunei for this Jungle Orientation Training. Reason why even though im alr posted to airforce yet there's jungle survival course is to ensure we are able to survive alone just in case the helicopter we fly in explodes and get cast away. In the jungle, finding food, building A-frames (shelters using logs), fireplace, monitor lizard traps. First few days will be trainings in Brunei camp, and later 4days 3nights in the jungle for this course.

Alright, it will be shit.

victor yeoh's 21st

26 march 2011 Saturday. It was victor's 21st. Omg it was held at hardrock hotel presidential suite. The cost of it was a .... we had our dinner at din tai fong's baits intially. Was really full because i ate at home before i left for there therefore didnt really enjoy the meals there. hmm...a shot with weijun using my canon d500. omg we look like couple, aint we? i placed my cam on the table hence the angle focus was on our hands. artistic right?Coincidently that night was also 2011 Earth hour. Ard 830pm the restaraunt dimmed the night and litted candles on the customer's tables. And we made use of this and sang birthday song for Victor. How nice of us, some of the customers there applaused too! this is one of the photos from joven's canon d90

ok here comes the main course.

we stepped into the presidential suite, the first minute the first place wasnt the bedroom, kitchen or toilet, i ran to the balcony to check it out. a stunning view from the balcony. i immediately capture all the nice images, and just nice there were daily fireworks show from the universal studio at that time. the suite comes with a kitchen, 2 equally big bedrooms(1 for his relatives 1 for his friends;us, with really spacious toilet(3parts in it, 1 bathtub, 1 shower, 1 toiletbowl each with glass doors, television in it), 3 balcony.one of the bedroom, nice bed, furnishing etc...this shot consist his cousins, family and us.

played ''in between", omg most of us lost, and victor's siblings won it all. There was a round where the money was up to $300plus and victor's sister won it all in less than half an hour. Most of us (friends of victor) lost heavily. i lost $30plus i think it was still ok compared to the others contributing. hahaha anyway, it was fun. and most of us went home ard 6 in the morning. Happy 21st victor yeoh.

Time is ticking every second, your age increases.

Monday afternoon together with one of my good friend Weijun(lives same estate) at our playground chatting.
happen to bump into my neighbour boy who used to play soccer tgt at our neighbourhood park years back. A normal 10years old kid, who is now a grown up guy in JC year 2.

I look around. Those student who passby our playground going home from my secondary school. I dont regconise anyone. I still get to see some of my once-before juniors wearing the sec school uniforms when i was still in poly year 1 or 2. By now, even the upper sec student were strangers to me.

Actually i thought of all these way back when i was in my Poly days. I just want rant it out here, in words.
Friends (female) who went to JC after secondary school, YEAR 3 in UNI.
Me? Seconday 4years then Poly and now serving year 1 of NS.
Friends (male) who went to JC after sec, COMPLETED NS, YEAR 1 in UNI.
I am considered the normal pace. Yet i still think, i should have study harder in 'O's and got into a JC.
ok got to admit there are some others who study 5years in secondary, poly and now NS. And i seen even powerful people, 5 years secondary, ITE 2years then Poly 3years then NS who is 1988 or 1989.
Everyone started the same, but as time goes by, everyone start to go to their own path. Slowly this differentiate one another.
Like the title of this post, getting old. Time waits no men. Afterall, i got my plans long ago. So im still ok.
