My upper study is leaving and soon I will be taking full responsibility of all the things that he used to be in charge of. My past one month plus in my new unit has really been great, thank God. And I have absolutely no right (or should I say nothing) to complain about. However, I have been rather slack with my work (but at least I still got everything done), and I have been feeling rather guilty. Especially after last sunday's sermon on "drawing the line". (Yes, DRAW THE LINE, aren't you Mr Ng Eng Chin fans going wild now...) I decided to ask God how I should conduct myself at work and this was what I got... "One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys." Proverbs 18:9. So yeah... Need to seriously change the way I've been doing things...
On a less sensitive topic, (I am sure all of you know that we shouldn't being saying certain things of certain organisations because certain people are watching. Not that I know who or what I am refering to actually...) I really love TYA! (Touch Young Arrows) It has really been such a great joy to teach kids and see the changes not only in their grades but also their behaviours and attitudes!
It has been wonderful serving with the volunteers at Serangoon club and they are really a bunch of fun loving people who serve with amazing passion for the kids!
Last but not least, I really want to thank God that my grandpa is already. Last saturday, my aunt and my family thought that he was really on the verge of leaving this earth, but praise be to God, he has made a full recovery and he is even more healthy than ever! He even taught me how to swim la exactly 12hours after I saw him weak and frail, saying that his time was up...
"Ruling with compassion and integrity for over 300 glorious years and many more to come."
What a rhetorical question of me to ask myself right? I am obviously OBSESSED with food. (I can relate almost anything to food. If you don't believe me, you can try me.) I am bored and it's been a while since I've blogged.
I really miss school days... But then again, just as Pri1-JC2 passed by like a flash, NS is surely going to end in a blink of an eye.
Even though I have quite a bit of free time now, I refuse to get a good computer game to play. Ever since I've been in JC 1, I have realised that computer games are really quite a waste of time. Especially ever since I have entered army, I realised that there is so much more to life than myself and my own happiness. I feel like some old man now lah. So many people that I want to meet up with but so little time. (Hmm... this is like so unrelated to the title right?)
Hello people, it's been a long time since I have blogged. Well, there is nothing really much to blog about nowadays and even there were stuff to blog about, I either have no time, no mood or I cannot blog about it. So do pardon the serious lack of posts.
I am sure most of you have heard of me boasting that I lost 10kg while in BMT, however, things have changed ever since I entered airforce school. The food there is wonderful and it really is like going through jc again because it's lessons from 8am to 5.30pm. So yeah, add good food, sitting around in the air con classroom, equals PROSPERITY!
In addition, I have been having good food every weekend.... Here is some evidence...
Evidence #1: Birthday dinner with Serangoon Club folks. Fried Tofu, Prawn Paste Chicken, Sweet & Sour Pork, Fried Omellete, Fried Rice (refer to first picture of post), almond jelly and...
Evidence #2: Chocolate birthday cake
Evidence #3: Buffet style home cooked meals due to my "More than enough food is always better than not enough food" mindset.
Evidence #4: Family birthday meals. I went for Beef Steak at Swissotel Hotel with my dad last week, went to eat at SAF Yacht Club & Sake Sushi with my aunt & mum. On top of that, my aunt who is a super good cook made the tiramisu featured above!
Evidence #5: High tea and tea breaks. I had high tea with Sharon and Saran at Crystal Jade yesterday and I ordered FRIED RICE!! (My favourite if you do not know.) On top of that, I have 2 tea breaks (morning & afternoon) in camp, on top of the 3 meals provided. It's getting kinda scary don't you think?
Evidence #6: Craving for fried food. Ok, it's nothing new, but the craving is back full force and almost all the food sold in air force school is fried. So it is going to be a big happy new year to my hopes of losing weight.
With the above evidence, I conclude that the defendant Bryan Yam Yew Chung, IC number blah blah blah, guilty of being extremely fat. (Like DUH...) He will be sentenced to physical activities at least 5 times a week.
The defendant declined to comment on the verdict by the Health Court on the day itself, but later said that he would abide by the sentence. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is blindingly obvious that I have gone off the deep end! Hooooray!!!
On a more retarded note, two weeks ago, I declared that there would be "Courtesty & Kindness" Week in my course in camp.
WARNING EXTREME BULLSHIT AHEAD. EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE BELOW ARE JUST MY OWN RETARDED IDEAS THAT I SHARED WITH MY COURSE MATES AND SINCE I THOUGHT THEY WERE SO RETARDED AND FUNNY, I THOUGHT I SHOULD SHARE IT WITH YOU TOO.
Of course guys being guys would not want to participate in something so stupid because it would mean not using vulgarities and being nice to one another. Being a nice person, I personally do not believe in forcing people to take part in the campaign, but I believe in gently coercing people to take part in this very beneficial campaign.
To help me achieve my goal of getting everyone to take part, I set up the Encouragement Office and Conformity Office. The Encouragement Office will have armed officers on the ground where they would encourage people who are rude by beating them. The officers would say "Please Sir/Madam I need to beat you." and then proceed with a encouraging beating then end of with "Thank you, I hope you would take part in our campaign."
------------------------------------END OF BULLSHIT----------------------------------------
I can't tell you what the conformity officers do online because if people who do not know me read it, they will surely think I am some pyscho. So if you want to know, just ask me and I will tell you!
That's all for now people! I have to prepare for children's club now, Bye!
"Ruling with compassion and integrity for over 300 glorious years and many more to come."
Only this picture of Mrs Sim can show how upset I am now. It is a tragedy... TRAGEDY I tell you...
What is it you may ask. It is about the lost of:
1) Char Kway Teow Stall at Serangoon Gardens Market
When I passed by Serangoon Gardens Market on Monday on the way to school, to my shock and horror the Newton Circus Char Kway Teow Stall was replaced by some stupid nasi lemak stall. I tell you, it was so upsetting... Too bad my dear locker buddy couldn't get to have it when we went there yesterday. Thank God the chai tao kway (fried carrot cake) and wanton mee stall were still there, or else Serangoon Gardens would be so less attractive as a food hub.
2) The Shopping Centre at Serangoon Gardens
*No picture, but it is the building with the NTUC, Haarto, Cafe Cartel and Coffee Bean*
Another tragic loss of a wonderful place in Serangoon Gardens. The Haarto and Coffee Bean there were very nice places to sit and have a chat with friends. AND THEY HAD TO TAKE AWAY MY HAARTO ICE CREAM. THE SAVAGES!!! NOW WHERE DO I GO AND SATISFY MY CRAVING FOR VANILLA ICE CREAM!!!!
Seriously, they should all go and jump down a cliff or something. And how in the world can a housing estate in Singapore function without a NTUC or let alone a supermarket?? I mean like, that should be a crime right? The famous food hub of Serangoon Gardens doesn't have a supermarket? (Cold Storage Specialty doesn't count because it is just too small and over priced.) 3) The loss of my mahjong game today to my friend Yuan Feng
If I lost to anyone else it would be fine, but to HIM??!!?? Hahaha, it is just so disgraceful. Daniel Tan, Eugene and myself were playing with that con artist.
He dared to tell us, "Oh I have this curse where I win the first round and I will lose all the way." After all the lies and decpetion, he won the most, or should I say the only winner at the end of the day. Bloody hell...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On a brighter side, there also many things that I can be thankful for:
1) Breakfast with Stefanie and Jo-Lynn, Meeting up with Mdm Spoon my secondary school science tuition teacher with barker guys and today's mahjong game today
-Dim Sum breakfast at Thomson was super delicious and of course it was nice to sit and chit chat and catch up with the two girls. Too bad the shop didn't sell the non fried version of carrot cake which Crystal Jade has, or it would have been perfect. However, Dim Sum for breakfast is super meat packed, and that is going to help me go back to my "former glory" in term of weight.
-It was very nice to see Mdm Spoon again and to just sit at my old place at the table there was just so nostalgic. Though the "torture" table has been changed, the same chairs where we sat for 4 consecutive hours for tuition (2hours Chemistry, 2hours Physics) were still there.
-Mahjong with Daniel and the other two usual kakis were very fun. Everytime Daniel is there, He and I will just go mad.
2) Lunch with Grace yesterday
I finally recieved my christmas card she promised like after 10 million years. The wanton mee I had for lunch was oh so delicious that your soul will just fly out and come back. I really missed the wanton mee at Serangoon Gardens market. SUPER GOOD MAN, end of story.
3) Makan at Havelock Road and Ikea with Joshua Tan
Mr Tan was nice enough to follow me to Tiong Bahru to have lunch (Hainanese Pork Chop with Chicken Rice was super super heavenly) and then follow me to see the sinseh. (because of my stupid cough) After that, we walked around the shopping centre opposite Ikea looking at stuff and talking nonsense. Then we headed for Ikea for tea, which was 10 meatballs which we shared.
I think at the rate of good food I am eating, it is no doubt I will just grow fatter and die of a heart attack (which is kinda of worth it if it was for food, but I'm sure my family and friends will just spit on my dead body.) And yes Daniel, it is time for me to repent and stop eating so much. I mean after all, I should listen to the person who calls for Mc delivery for supper and orders a DOUBLE prosperity burger... You are such an inspiration to lose weight Daniel... SUCH AN INSPIRATION....
Ok that's enough nonsense for one day. Goodbye!
Ruling with compassion and integrity for 300 glorious years and many more to come
Yes ladies and gentlemen, IT IS OVER!!! *throws confetti*
7 weeks have passed by like a flash, here I am still alive and slightly thinner. Best of all, I can look back and even laugh at my experience in BMT. This is because I have been blessed by God with wonderful commanders who are so understanding and caring. Best of all, my platoon does not have any major trouble makers so it is ok.
I can proudly declare that I have done these in BMT:
1) 2 Buddha claps (For punishment of course) 2) 30 push ups (5 of which are for punishment) 3) 0 km of route march (because I am excused) 4) 0 rounds of running (because I am excused) 5) Did not do IPPT [yes i am excused =)] 6) Did intensive area cleaning like 2-3 times a day (Can be a professional cleaner. Because PES C people cannot do much stuff, we are made to clean like there is no tomorrow.) 7) Went for field camp, 3D2N (Even though it was shorter than normal, it still was a horrifying and worst experience in the ENTIRE BMT) 8) Did not do a whole lot of other stuff (I am sure you know why by now.) 9) Made loads of new friends (And one of them is the Top A level student!!)
By now if you were in PES A or B, you must be cursing and swearing because my BMT was slack. But don't think I have forgotten that you guys keep taunting us when we march past you guys ah... You buggers...
If you are still unhappy, you can take comfort in the knowledge that I have gaurd duty tomorrow (even after POC) so yes laugh all you want, because I have been laughing a lot watching PES A and B people doing all their stuff while I am happily eating snacks in my bunk.
Ok, enough about army. Now for the sensitive topic of A levels...
"This picture so accurately describes how carefully I should talk about results."
I did quite ok, although I expected an A for H2 history. H1 Math was very unexpected, I thought a D was enough but ended up with an A, which is my one and only. I know many of my friends didn't do too well, and it's really heartbreaking to see them so sad and not being able to say or do anything that would comfort them. I just hope that they know that it is not the end and there are always many other paths they can take.
I want to apologise to my friends who I did not comfort because I was ill on the day of the release of the results.
My first book out after 17 days in Tekong "Resort". I am so glad to be home, to be able to do what I want to do at any time I want and wear what I want to wear. The 17 days there have been quite a good experience. Made a lot of new friends and met lots of long lost friends as well.
Training is not so tough since I'm in PES C and am excused for many things, but the area cleanings are quite stressful because they keep checking. The food there is really terrible, but what to do? It's army food...
Even though the commanders there are strict and scary (I really mean it) I thank God that He has blessed me with understanding commanders. I really hope that they won't turn into monsters (something I doubt so) after I book in, because it is the end of the adjustment period.
Oh God, give me strength and wisdom to finish the rest of the 24 days of BMT and also the rest of my NS.
