MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!

Merry Christmas people! Its yet another year that just passed by us and what awaits is another fresh year ahead. What's installed for us in 2010 remains a mystery but what i can say is cherish your present time, take the effort to go to your loved ones and tell them what had been stored in your heart for this past one year. Anything will do even a simple thank you is sufficient. Then take some time to sit down and ask yourself what is your 2010 new year's resolution. Here's mine..

I wanna say a big thank you to my family who's always been there for me this past year. 2009 marked the year when i truly take up the responsibility as a man to protect my nation and also the year which i transformed from a boy to man. It may sound hogwash here but deep down in my heart i learnt to cherish my parents more because in the process of learning to be independent, i fell and no one was there to help me up though since young the pairs of helping hands always belonged to them. Thank you dad, mum and brother for tolerating my nonsense this past year, when at times i will go back late at night and smell of alcohol cause of partying. I will try my best to cut down on that and spend more time with you. Oh and hope that dad's cough will recover soon. Thank you bro for bringing me out occassionally to have meals or movies, i really appreciate it alot! New year resolution: To be a better son and a better brother. (= The process of transformation:

From a crazy guy who dares to wear a pinafore to..

A soldier and then to a ...

A specialist!

Next is a major thank you to all my beloved friends out there, without you i can never be who i am today. Woodrow Wilson said this: 'Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together'. My friends, you guys totally cemented my world together and made it a better and a more fun place to be in. Times in NS may be difficult but with you guys around, it is always so motivating and fun to endure through and move on, and there we are Gryphon Batch of enlistees 080109, we have endured through almost 1year and that we are left with 10more months to go. Lets go people! To my late friend Augustine, it's definitely our loss to lose you to a better world, the times when we had our BSLC training in Delta will always be missed by Section 5 Platoon 2, may you rest in peace. To my friends from 10/07, we haven broken our promise of not losing contact with one another and thats something commendable eh? Although we have gone to different directions, trying to carve a niche for ourselves in various areas, we still made time for one another to just sit down and have a good meal. Lets carry this on and im sure time will never be a challenge to our friendship.

Pierce, Aaron, Grayson and james who's not inside.You guys are the best!

Class of 10/07 TJC! Being bad on the outside(as in academics) but good inside(fun loving) is our forte ryt guys?

My bro Joshua! Congrats on being commissioned!

Spastic 5, Zhiyuan, Jiayi, Siewyuen and ryan! It's always fun, laughter and craziness with you people around.

Signals Spec IC 2 coursemates! Woo! Sleep through skills as always guys. hahaha

And to my other friends whom i did not mention here, not that you guys arent significant to me just that it's my fault for not taking more effort to meet you guys more and take pics haha. Im sure 2010 will be a better year yeah?

Oh to pamper myself this Christmas i got myself a French Connection watch worth 142bucks after discount, damn nice.

All right, all good things must come to an end, Christmas will soon be over and the new year will arrive soon, and nicely said i will be counting down in camp because of guard duty. But it's okay it's once in a lifetime eh? Haha. Oh and rebel was rather fun ytd though the crowd sucks but the music made up for it. Going to a house party later with shiyun, joshua, martin and amanda.
