Almost coming to an end of my long weekend break.Sad.Nonetheless,I enjoyed myself thoroughly the past few days.
Me and dearie went for CEP chalet organised by uncle Tk.It was at Aloha Changi,a place where it holds fond memories for the both of us.The chalet started on Thursday but before that I gatecrash dearie's maths lecture.Finally have a chance to see the funny lecturer.Ohh and the lesson ended pretty early.
Both of us went back to Sembawang for dearie to get her hair done up nicely,then off we went to chalet.It was BBQ for that night and knowing uncle tk,the food was sure to be good and it was!!! The BBQ session was also a meet the parent session.Not so much of talking to the parent about how their child fared during CEP but more of like a chit chat session.
I had very little sleep at night as the beds were occupied.Dearie was more fortunate,she enjoyed the comforts of sleeping on a bed.
We started off next morning with a time of worship and a short devotion.Interestingly,Uncle TK mentioned about a time for everything.A time to enjoy and a time to labour and the list goes on.Headed for breakfast at Changi Point after that and then the group decided to go for cycling.
It was back to the chalet after that and part of the group departed for home or elsewhere,while me and dearie stayed back to help out with dinner preparations.At this point,we weren't sure if we wanted to stay for the night but decided to wait and see.Then,Uncle TK suggest that I drive a few people back to church as they have a full dress rehearsal to attend and that was how I ended up staying for the night.Ohh and it was another round of BBQ plus steamboat :)
Overall,I enjoyed myself and I must thank Uncle TK and Aunt Eliz for being so generous and gracious in organising the whole thing.Thank God for them :)

It is officially week 7 of my basic military training.I'm one and a half weeks away from my passing out parade.Everything seems to be happening so quickly.Perhaps like what they say,enhanced batch ma,so everything also chop chop.
Somehow we have already started to transit into the relax mode.I only had two key events this week.IPPT and 16km route march.Of which I did my very best for IPPT and attained a pass.It might seem like nothing to some people,but I climbed my own mountain and I scaled it.I achieved a personal best of 10.55 timing for 2.4km.I've never run that fast in my life before.The rest of the stations I did ok,except for SBJ.It never fail to give me problems.Well I might go for a retest coming Monday.I didn't managed to get a silver because of SBJ. rahhhh. Nonetheless I wana thank God for giving me the strength to pass my IPPT.
16km route march was tiring.Every step that I took after the 10km mark was a struggle.I had to constantly push and motivate myself to carry on with the next step.What made the march worse was the hot weather.All of us were perspiring like crazy.However it was quite cool to have quite a few companies marching together.All in all,no one from my platoon fell out from the march.No one dare to.
Chalet tomorrow and I think I really deserve a short break from all that army routine.Who knows i've gotten so used to the army life that I would start waking up at 5pm and wash up and then go for a run.haahaa. Enjoy my long weekend and having dearie with me makes it all the more better :) cheers

As an NSF,off days that I have are spent with my dearie,going to church on Sunday or going to top up some of my essentials.Weekends are extremely precious.I have so much to do but with so little time.Perhaps thats how I learnt to make every second and minute count.I treasure small little things that I used to take for granted.Even things like having a hot shower,watching tv or being able to take my own sweet time to do certain stuff.I guess you must lose something in order to gain more of it.
Anyway I'm at my dearie's house now.Quality time ma.We wanted to rent VCDs to watch but the shop wasn't open when we went there in the morning.Headed home and slack.Tomorrow will be the start of my SIT test.12km route march to camp site in FBO.Dang my back sure break ar with the heavy load on my back.Anyway many friends have told me that SIT test is fun and you get to slack your day away once you are done with your missions.Hopefully its fun lah huh and hopefully the commanders don't make life difficult for us.
For now I shall continue to look at my dearie doing her school work and await the arrival of our dinner.Pizza Hut!!!! MmmmmMMmmmmM.Dearie was sweet enough to order my spicy wings.Lagi best ar :) Good food + Good company + Love= Quality Time
