random updates

1) Had a wonderful time at Genting and KL with RH. Genting's weather is cooooool, shopping at KL rocks and spending lots of time with RH indeed adds a lot of sparks into my life!

2) Competed in NTUNPCC's first ever Dash-n-Paddle event which comprised of a 5km run and 1.5km kayak, was a team with RH and we came in first for our detail! (though the overall top three placing eluded us :S )

3) Final semester's results were just out yesterday and I'm glad to say that I got my second class (upper) honours! four years in law school have not been in vain. And with me getting to know my friends in law school, fellow HOs and my wonderful cadets, these four years in uni have no doubt been very fruitful :)

4) I participated (impromptu decision with my TO Ms Lim) in Presbyterian High School's Air Rifle Shooting Competition today since I was already accompanying my cadets there. And i managed to win a nice looking silver medal! haha :D my cadets did the unit proud too with all the effort they had put in, kudos!

5) Starting work this monday, haiz dunno what to feel, kinda sianz yet kinda excited... man such conflicting feelings... well shall say more when it really starts :p

More random thoughts

1) Met up with three of my secondary school sec3/4 classmates on monday for dinner and "Ironman". It's been a long time since we met up and I realise that we're already into our tenth year of friendship. And even though we dont meet up often, whenever we do, we still crap a lot and act like ten years havent passed us at all :p

2) Had a movie marathon today watching "Over Her Dead Body" and "Harold and Kumar 2". Both films were enjoyable and its most definitely worthwhile to catch movies on weekdays instead. Both films at a total of $12 at The Cathay; if on a weekend, the cost could reach a high of $21 for two movies. Inflation is everywhere! Thus the moral of the story is: work around the system! :]

Random thoughts again...

1) For four years, I've been thinking about graduating. As of 02 May 08, I finally stepped out of Singapore's education system as I finished my last undergraduate exam! (the paper could have been easier though... haha...)

2) Today I completed what should probably be my last outdoor proficiency course with NPCC: Jetty Jump Trainer

- Come to think of it, if not for the incomprehensible decision four years back to join NPCC, I wouldnt have known my wonderful cadets, my fantastic NPCC HO friends, my lovely girlfriend and gained so many outdoor experiences that I never thought I would have gained, which includes climbing a seven storey high challenge pyramid and flying-fox down from the top, and obtaining my powerboat licence.

3) The cliche that goes "taking the first step is always the hardest" is definitely manifested in jetty jump. But it does feel shiok to hit the water and give the thumbs up sign! Of course, the sea water can always taste better if ever possible.

4) Pacing... everything is about pacing so that you will not burn out...
