Eleven Minutes Thirteen Seconds

Welcomed this morning with a piece of good news! Xiao Ming got his IPPT silver! Despite his rantings of unable to overcome breathlessness, giddy spells or nauseous sensations, he crossed the finish line with 3/4 min to spare!

The run started off with him taking the lead against the cadets (i am sure they all stun tio) but as a personal strategy, XM quoted that the pack stratgy really works on him. He needs to chase, to be chased and not left alone. Uncannily, I felt the same way too... whenever you work towards a goal, there must be pain or pleasure as the motivating factor. Fast-forwarding the run... as he cleared the turning pt (ard 1.4km) he still look great, can smile some more, so I wayang abit lo...cause I missed the morning run mah.

"Come ON~! You have met the checkpt timings, keep this pace... Time now 7:40, maintain!...Open your long legs.... last stretch already Come ON!.... Almost there, you've got it" for a moment, i felt like my 3SG back in BMT hahaha. Well, cant blame me for that...I didnt really push my guys back in 8 Sig cause 3/4 pikachus, whereas the rest clear their tests with ease =)

The huffing, wheezing paid off for CPT XM, his motto for the test "Death before Dishonour" You did it, and we salute you OC Bravo coy!

Bye Di~

The thirst of knowledge has always prevailed over mankind and the pursuit had brought ppl to many places. Today, my Di Di, Kai flew off over to Boston for his phd.

Cal and Chris came over to my place for the night to prepare for the 330hrs AYE/ECP drive towards the airport. Its really great to have a place where your friends can pop by, to gather or to chill out!

We were all reminded Bed 8's prowess... the individual who refuses to bug despite the alarms sounding all around him, the person who possess the determination to shut out all external disturbances to affcet his rest and the one who suprises all when he rises, not to dress, but to flick the off switch and resume his slumber. Well, I woke ard 310hrs, heard Cal's alarm screeching away, this time, i saw 2 X bed 8 hahaha

Fast forwarding, we settled down at the coffee lounge for refreshments. I just love it when Yingkai's face blanks out and tries to change the spotlight onto another individual... the lip trainer was a really ear-opener for me. (Di, rem to use it ah~!!)

Ah~~ the normalities of farewell, we posed, we hugged, we baded one-another with well-wishes... we will definitely meet up for MAJONG!

As we adjourned for breakfast part 2, the experiences shared by Chris n Teck once again justify patience as a key value for a teacher. There are highs and lows, but eventually, its passion n motivation that'll pave your way! Jiayou the both of ya!

Right now...back in the office... I'm fighting the Z monster but its all worth it, because the simple farewell shown me that 47/02 SOCC will always be there for one another =)

MoVe IT~!

Its been donkey ages since the last post and I am certain the fan base rating for this site has pummel to an all time low =)

I've moved on to another stage! actually....many stages. Everything just flashes pass so quickly. At one stage, I was still lamenting singlehood and lack of motivation but something so great happened! The appearance of my gf / fiancee / wife Mrs Chee Yan Lin, Amber

Boy...did things happen! I quote her "Everything just felt so right", YEP! She's right. It may seem like a rushed job, the courtship, ROM, wedding, dinner, setting up AND renovating our home, moving in...everything was completed within the span of 1 year. Trust me... it was a great way to rediscover ownself and one another.

Many had probed, on the difference between singlehood and being married, how come so fast, how did we manage to meet such tight deadlines. I didnt seriously reflected on the points and simply responsed I was blessed to find Amber as my mate (which I still think was a major factor) as she multi-tasks and pushes me with all the information, just leaving me with nodding or shaking my head hahaha. It was motivation. The motivating factor of actually doing something you owe, rightfully yours and only yours. Everything fell onto us, be it big decisions on budget / venue / parental approval to minute details on whats the colour of the petals...every second and minute belonged to us. And it felt great!

A recent incident, a review by my boss, reaffirmed my lack of initaitive and motivation... if only this conversation happened earlier...much earlier... like 1 year back but nonetheless it aint too late for things to change AND happen! Returning home everyday to see my MianFen Brothers and Wife, proves a track record that everything happens for a reason... and that is motivation and commitment. thank you the 3 of ya

We shadow each others life, literally, thus we'll never walk alone

I ought to post more photos of what has been happening around and make effort to revive this site. TIll then

Keep on Moving, moving, moving ~~!!!
