Are u ready for this?

Name: Stanley Ho Tean Yang School: Clementi Town Primary school(97-00), Clementi Primary School(01-02), Queensway Secondary School(03-07), Serangoon Junior College(08-09) Just another normal guy out there with some amibitions. Chemistry is his all time favourite subject. Shy at the start but is sincere in making friends after some time. Well, check out my entries to know more =) Facebook:http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3514077&id=546647135&fbid=190227737135#/profile.php?ref=profile&id=766702584

Oh my god, my throat is in pain. This is how i felt yesterday morning when i woke up and swallowed my saliva. As usual, i dragged myself to the toilet to brush my teeth and wash up. However, i felt different at that instant. I felt nauseous and dizzy. I knew i was not feeling well.

5 BX started at 5.45am sharp and i do it like other days. I felt relatively fine then and the run was normal. At 6am, we were told to draw arms(rifle). So we were standing at ease for about 25minutes. I struggled standing for that 25 mins as i just feel like vomitting. Seargent Yi Liang pumped us for fidgitting and i did it, which aggravates my condition.

After safe keeping my rifle, we went for breakfast. I seriously have no appetite to eat. Throw away most of the noodles given. After which, its time for 1st parade. We were told to measure our temperature. I don't feel feverish but the temperature reading shocked me. Its 37.6 degree celsius. From then, i knew that i need to go to see a MO.

At MO, there are lots of REC coughing badly. I think its a virus that is spreading currently in Tekong. Everyone need to put on a mask to prevent spreading of virus. When i was called to see the MO, i felt floaty and my temperature rose by 0.2 degree celsius.

In the nutshell, the MO gave me 3 days of MC, which is to stay at home to rest. I was shocked as i didn't anticipate that it was serious enough to go home. So i headed to pharmacy to collect medicine. After which, I have to conduct this nasal study, which took about 0.5 hrs. The purpose is for SAF to find out what id the disease that is spreading in Tekong.

Back to Rocky hill, i was told to have our lunch. I felt really lethargic and unwell with a temperature of 38.1. Worst is, the cookhouse served Chicken Briyani. My god, i force myself to eat that heavy load into my stomach as i am hungry.

Packed my stuff after lunch and my temperature is 38.5. I just wanna go home asap. Then my platoon i/c came to look for me. He is going MO in the afternn cos he is also having fever. Oh no, is it really so contagious? Well, i didn't think that much and took the tunnel back to ferry terminal once i have returned my rifle.

And here i am home. Currently feeling lethargic and body ache all over. Guess i have over stressed my muscles this few weeks and it couldn't take it anymore. I think the reason is on Monday we had run straight after swim. So I think i caught a cold then.

Ok, shall stop here. I need to rest now..

Labels: Lethargic

14 weeks to go. This week seems so long in the remote island. This weeks seems like 2 week. Training, PT, ST and FT, everything is packed together. Every time when i was told to change to PT kit, my mood will turn bad. "SIAN" is the word that is in my mind. Sigh.

After 3 weeks of training, i felt that i am getting along better with platoon mates. They are a bunch of nice people with interesting topic to talk to each time. However, regretably, there is a virtual bounbary in between section 1and2 and section 3and4, which i hope it will be gone soon cos we work together as a platoon.

The number to push ups did has increased. Small things like forming platoon level cannot be done within 10 secs, which is why we were pumped. I hope Platoon 3 will be more cooperative in time to come =)

Regarding IPPT, i seriously dunno what to say. My first IPPT is satisfactory, taking into account that its the first IPPT. I failed CHIN UP and 2.4km run. I am a 0 fighter for Chin up. i fail but 28 secs for 2.4km run. Sigh. But i believe 2.4 is not a threat to me cos we run like everyday. Haha. I am just worried about my CHIN UP. I kept trying very hard to pull myself up but i just couldn't. I see 0 fighters pulling 2 now. Sigh. Well, i promise i will keep trying and NEVER GIVE UP as i know i will be able to pull one day! More OTOT to come!

I wanna improve myself cos i dun wanna go for RT, which will be held every Saturday. Mates got to book out but u dun. SIGH! Sad right? But bro says its beneficial for me if i got it. So i just got to leave it up to fate!

I will be booking out on thursday this coming week cos of GOOD FRIDAY! YEAH! Pray that there will not be RT as it spoils the whole book out period.

In the nutshell, i will try my best as day passes. I can feel that i am gradually getting used to their system. I need to train my endurance level and my physical ability hard in order to prepare myself for the BMT phase which will be in late April. I promise.

I just hope my mates will encourage each other when i feel like giving up, especially during route march. I almost gave up during the route march with rifle this week on wed. That short 3km is like 3 miles! Haha. Well, I will break that mental barrier!(Hope)

As i am adapting to my military life, i haven forget my lovely friends who is behind me always. I would like to thank them for all the encouraging words to me that act as motivation. I have also applied for NUS and NTU after getting good results. Oh ya i will be going back to SRJC to receive a prize for achieving 2 H2 distinction on 24 April =). I will miss my civilian life when i am in Tekong.

2 days pass by in just a blink when i am at home but 2 days pass so slowly in tekong. Got to get prepared to book in soon. I will miss civilian life. Haha. Ok shall end here. See ya soon =)

I miss SRJC! I miss those days.

But i know it will never happen!

See ya in 5 days time! =(

Labels: Reminisce those days

As i type my entry, i suddenly felt that 14 days is just a blink. I was in Pulau Tekong on 060310 and now i am back to my lovely home after 2 weeks of confinement! Iwas pretty nervous for NS in Tekong since last year as i am afraid that i can't take those hectic trainings. However, it wasn't as bad as i have expected but it may come true in time to come.

15 days ago, i was pretty much nervous about my GCE A LEVEL EXAMINATION RESULTS. This certificate is extremely crucial to every one as it will determine their future. The day started off with a meet up with Edwin, Hui Ying and Jack at Plaza Singapura for our brunch. I will never forget how difficult it is to swallow that small portion of meat ball pasta. Eventually, i didn't finish the meatballs but to give it to Edwin to finish it up. Oh my goodness!

The dominant reason is due to my nervousness for the results. Uncertainty is the only word in my mind. I am so scared that my GP will fail as i recap on the bad Paper 2 answers written.

At about 1.30pm, met up with Yongxin to go to SRJC together. Once there, i saw students taking photos with principal. From then, I felt a sudden disappointment in myself. The feeling of not doing well strucks my mind at that instance. I dunno why.

In the hall, the first sentence from Mr Tan was "U guys did well!" I felt a sudden relief. A double confirmation was seen when the average ranking points this year is 70 relative to 08 results which was 66. A 4 ranking points increase is seriously a lot!

2S24 did well with 72 average ranking points. I am seriously elated when i saw that. However, i was a little disappointed when i didn't see my name in the 80-90 pointers name list.

When it is time to distribute results, i couldn't face it. I wan the whole class to take it first before i get mine. However, everyone is doing the same. So when i see an empty seat at the bench, I went up with an open heart. Mdm Ashiqin gave me a good impression on my results when she nodded her head! "Stanley, u got........79 points", said Mdm Noor. I am speechless!

When i turned over the results slip, the first thing i look for is GP! PHEW, i pass my GP with a D grade. Cheryl's prediction was correct! Next up, i see every single subjects!

STANLEY HO TEAN YANG- GCE A LEVEL EXAMINATION 2009
H1General Paper-D
H1Mathematics-A
H2Geography-D
H2Economics-A
H2Chemistry-A

2008
H1 Chinese-D
H1Project Work-A

(My results consist of 2 grades only, either A or D)

I am so happy to see 2 H2 As. All hard work is paid off when i see that! The feeling is SHIOK!(I did my parents proud and myself too!) The most important thing is, my friends did well too with 70+ points and above which gives them chances to enter uni! I left the college graciously by appreciating all teachers' effort and baring in my that i have NO REGRETS entering SRJC! I will be back to thank the teachers when i have the time.

That night, i was quite sad with my hair as that barber shave my head. Literally shave! Super ugly(facebook). Sigh! Went to Tekong the next day with disappointment due to extremely short hair!

14 days have passed and in the nutshell, i was quite disappointed with the management. Initially i was from Jaguar Coy. Next up, they dissect the Coy which only consist of 30+ ppl into 2 Coys. 1 to Viper and 1 to Quebec. I was transferred to Quebec Coy and only got to know my bunk mates at night! It's too rush for me.

As time passes, things turned out better for me. Bunk mates are friendly and approachable with 2 jokers to brighten up our lives in Tekong. However, the training is very vigorous, especially PT training. My core muscle is very weak! Everytime when i see the PTIs, i will feel very SIAN!

Well, i have got over it and i am prepared for next week's training! However, i think i have injured my back due to vigorous jumps and hence am excused to do training from thursday till friday. Saw Alan at MO! But my back is still painful now! HOW HOW HOW!

Well, see how it goes. Will try to do all exercise. I wanna break that 0 chin up! I will one fine day!
Now, i will be going for dinner and back to apply for my UNIVERSITY! Haha! Wish me luck and see ya next week!

Mornin guys. Yesterday night was OK for me. I could sleep after tossing for a while. Haha. Its kinda fated i guess. I worry most is GP. Its uncertain!

Labels: Morning

Its Thursday(March 4th) today. By right I am suppose to be Pulau Tekong right now. Its due to the release of GCE A LEVEL EXAMINATION results that pushes back my enlistment date to 6th March! 2 days make a big difference.

Labels: Soon

Greetings! Once again back to blog on stuffs that were in arrear! Well, its definitely a mundane post as its got to do with the days spent on entertainment!

Thats all for the day! Today passed so quickly! I can't believe it! Counting down to big DAYS! DAYSSSSSSSS! Not day!

Labels: I want entertainment

As i sat down on my bed yesterday night, lots of issues and nice memories filled my mind. I guess i am having deep thoughts on whatever issues that comes along. I took out my diary and pen down thoughts that is deep from my heart. The main things mentioned were A level results and NS.

I know myself quite well, especially in terms of emotions. I am a temperamental soul that has more emotions relative to other guys. As i flipped my diary back to the past(2007 and 2008) entries, I felt a slight change in myself. I become more certain about things in life, knowing what could be best for me and also a person with ambition. Seeing the changes makes me speechless! But i am certain that those changes were good!

However, I hold on tightly to something. I realise that most of the entries made were related to friendship,family and results. Well, perhaps that makes who i am! Oh one more, no matter how i change, i will still love my friends from secondary school and JC!

Hearing the clock tickles away(12n now!) from the church signifies another new month. This is the third time the clock tickles away in 2010. What i am i trying to draw is time flies. We have recently stepped into 2010 but its the 3rd month in this year. Oh its seriously very fast, faster than i have expected.

Well, closing the diary softens my heart. I have kept a diary(not written daily) that actually makes me so temperamental. While lying on my bed, i could feel my eyes were in tears. Sigh. What an emotional night....

Not sure what is the root cause of the emo night, well this is not up to me to control! But i am still strong mostof the time.

Ok, got to go soon for RED STAR RESTAURANT! Last time before NS! Would like to have good meals before enlistment! More updates tonight!
