Sea Boat Expedition

Well...last monday, finaaly went for my sea boat expedition with my corhort and we got to paddle from Changi to Sembawang.

However, during the 1 day, we didn't paddle much and mostly we turn on the OBM and charge to the destination as on the schedule. It is also a bad weather coz it tends to turn to bad weather aduring the afternoon and we waited at Paris Ris Park until almost sunset. In order to catch up the time line, we charge all the from there to Sembawang and reach around 8pm.

It seems to be very relax, but things happen to come...the next day, we set sail at 6.30am and during this time. We are not allow to speak a single word and if any one answer back to the instructor, the whole sea boat members got to jump into the sea.

Anyway, my sea boat paddle all the way from Sembawang to Punggol Beach almost 3hrs and had been leading. After the lunch break, we paddle from punggol beach till Paris Ris and it is a competition been brought up by the instructors as whos ever seaboat over take the WO Yeo sea boat will earn a can of soft drinks individual. So my seaboat came to the second and haha...

After that, we still continue to paddle from Pasir Ris park to Changi Beach and everyone was dying coz of the hot weather...and we are granted to turn on the OBM. Finally everyone reach back Changi safety...

However, most of us got sunburn...and it is badly burn just like we have gone in to a fire scene and got roasted...whaha...now i still having my skin peeling...Yucks

National Education

Well... Its been a few years ago that I still remember when I attend the National Education in my poly times. Currently, just happen that my POC course have this course module insert. So on thur and fri, went to Bukit Merah at Spring Building and attend it.

The lessons consist alot of the past Singapore history that had gone through and how we overcome it. It also have indicate the challenges we are going to face. After the whole 2 days lessons, have alot of thoughts that every individual have its part to play in the role as a Singaporean. Especially facing the challenges in the upcoming years ahead. I know that it is impossible to let everyone to be know their part, but if those have chance to attend the course, they will feel the same as I did. Been the sense of belonging in Singapore. Thats all...

Anyway, during this course I also visited the URA whereby we have a tour on the Singapore City Gallery. It is an exhibition done by the URA where, tourist and Singaporeans can go there visit. It really test how well you know about Singapore's land use, heritage, nature reserves and other intriguing facts in a fun, interactive quiz show hosted by Gurmit Singh. Will be very shock to hear the answers. I also put my hand at the various planning tools for urban design at the Planners' Table. There are also a wall for us to read about people's wants and wishes for their ideal city. Beside these, there are more information that what's coming up next, what can Singapore be 40 years into the 21st Century. With more than 30 hands-on interractive exhibits, a visit promises to be an enjoyable self-discovery. Do come to visit together with friends.

Singapore a virbant country to live, work and play.

Been Nice

Well, I dunno why today seems isn't the day for me. Feel so rebellious and wanted to do something funny. Yet really i dunno whether I did it for my rights or not.

Actually, it is about the standing rounds for the cabin and the level. Coz usually everyday, we have rounds conducted during the evening time whereby everyone have to do domestic on the individual cabin and ensure the level are clean so that the officer of the day will inspect when he/she came for their rounds.

Well, becoz of our cabin people have limited people just only 3 persons staying in. And the rest of the cabins wants us to provide people to stand for rounds. Actually in the beginning we have make an agreement that everyone should stand for the level rounds but it became to rotation on cabin. Feel been cheated and my cabin people have been standing more than twice and the rest think that we should stand. Feel abit angry coz they never think in our shoes and the agreement is set by them and yet they are the one who broken it. I rally can't tolerate it so just really dun bother it. So eventually, my cabin didn't want to provide people to stand as level I/C and the rest are irriated by our action.

I just dunno why...is it been nice and never voice out. Now I dun care much. Just like that i think i will wait things to happen. Dun really bother much...

Well...anyway...i guess that is reality. Got to face the world. Haiz!

Toothache

Today finally went to see the dentist in the camp as I already book an appointment on mon. So I thought that only tooth decay so just require to remove the decay part and do the filling, but when the dentist further exam-in, he found out that mostly is not the tooth decay causing it to have the toothache. He found out that my last tooth got abit weird when the show the x-ray. What he found out is that my last tooth, in the centre have a crack line. He suspect that this the real reason that causes to have the pain.

Coz the bateria might have slip into the tooth through the crack line and he wanted to further exam-in on this coming mon as he will drill the hole and check whether the crack is it goes into the centre of the tooth. In the worst case, I might lose this tooth.

He also mention that if remove the tooth, i have 3 options.
1) Just leave it nothing but might feel uncomfortable in the beginning...sound werid to me
2) Inplant another tooth that might cost >$1K...sweat again...
3) a denture...very silly coz just only 1 tooth...

If the tooth can be save, i will have 2 options
1) Root canal...in the future it might drop off due to the grinding...
2) Root canal and crown...best way to protect the tooth...

Well, I really dunno how...just hoping the best and pray that my tooth can be save...

Finally!

Yeah! Finally everything is over and I can slowly catch my breath back. Abit panic during the presentation to the cohort and yup. Everything is approve. Now just waiting for the rest to prepare for the coming 20th n 21st expedition.

Everything are going to indent by us and we need to coordinate with the rest of different units. Anyway, time files so fast. Just left only a month and I'm going to pass out from the course. Learn alot of things during this course...like the seamanship, seaboat handling, managment, communication and lotsa things that I never think of. Feel quite enriching for coming to this POC, even sometimes I need to rush with the assignments, projects and duties. Futhermore still got been wack by OC. But think back, I've grown more mature in thinking and maybe...I can be a leader in future.

Well...another thing is that...today...she is flying back. Feeling something different in my mind and with this, couldn't sleep for the past few days...keep thinking of her. How can I ask her out...think alot of things...but all negative. Haiz! Feeling really down now and uneasy...she will be back in another hr. Worst of all, this coming friday I got duty, so could go to 85 to meet her and her jiemeis...den sat, I still got the YDC meeting for the organising the dec camp for the new members. Kinda sad...hope can really ask her out and get to know her more.

I just in a state of uncertain. Anyway, I just hope everything will be fine and hope one day she can accept me.
