wow geez everyone is talking about the new year, 2013! well i guess i am following suit, but imma look back at 2012 and just try and recall whatever has happened in that year. its kinda hard to believe that its 01-01-2013, not that i believe in the mayan calendar! (although it has striking similarities to an oreo cookie) ah thats not the point! but 2012 BY FAR has been the year with the most amounts of BIGGIES in my life. hah when i look back, things seemed really really messed up. reaaaaal bad! but im just glad that everything is sorta back on track? im still hoping for a uni placing in a local uni! :( darn myself for not working hard enough during A levels! im kinda glad that i got a good placing in UTAS, Australia but im not NO WHERE keen on leaving my friends behind! :(  i know the exposure of overseas studies will be good, etc etc but NOPE not ready on leaving just yet! I dont even know if i should be using yet!

okok here are the BIG things that happened in 2012! here is how i classify whether they are big: firstly when i think of 2012, they should come up straight to my mind! :D fullstop!
1. Collecting of A level Results.
2. Enlisting into army (BMTC)
3. Getting into my first vocational camp, 30SCE
4. Being revocationalised as a signaller in Signal Institute
and then....
5. Being posted to 3DA (HEAVENNNNN)
6. Getting to be good friends with a new friend! :D totally unexpected.

OKOK first up, A levels was a absolute disappointment for me! i never knew that i would end up in such a dire situation and at that time, my future looked really really bleak, it was like i didnt know what to do! actually now, when i think of it, i also still do not really know what i exactly want to do. Some tell me that i can be a GP teacher (but i think i might kill the students). Some friends told me i can be a piano teacher! because of my passion and diligence in practising. I tell myself that i want to be an architect! but there is no avenue for me to learn in a local uni since my grades are so horrible. when i first received my results, i was so so devastated! of course i wasnt expecting top results since i "woke up" too late, but then again i wasnt expecting such horrible results! but anyway, whats done been done, there is no way i can change that, but i can use that as a learning opportunity for me! sigh why i am always so stubborn as to not listen to what the people around me advise me to. ACK now is the time to pray for a miracle from God! >.< 2013 is already here and the application window is gonna be open again! so THIS year! i am really really really x9999 hoping that i can get into a local uni! then i wont have to worry so much for the entire year. its like one of those unsettling things that you just got to settle, but there is only a small window period for everything to occur.

In Dragon Platoon 1 whilst in BMT, it was a really fun and enjoyable time! i really got a chance to make so many new friends, and so many of these friendships shined forth during times of need! also, the BEST part in BMT was the amount of weight i shed off my body. i mean come on 20kg in like 4 months?? that felt so good! it was like now i feel so much better that i know i am a whole lot fitter! (although i think im kinda starting to put some back on hehehehe) but yeah! all those fun times that we had together, all the physical training, especially since so many were totally new to the idea of camping! ahahah luckily for me i had a really good scouts background (JOIN SCOUTS!!!) and it really helped me through BMT! the route marches that we had to do... the field camp that we had to go through.. and all those sleepy spells that we had in the middle of the day! oh yes! and because i was in the obese company, we had to do loads of PT, which of course fat people hate. and then whenever it rains, we call it CAT1 and then we cant do PT! but of course later on the sergeants realised we could do so indoors... all those half naked men running around doing PT, especially aerobics! that was damn funny!

Oh God, then here comes the 30SCE season. BLEAH 30SCE was so hell! i mean the atmosphere around the camp, it was just simply everyone trying to get at each other. it was such a dull and mundane camp. the moment you step into camp, you feel that sense of oppresion. tsk! BUT HEY! IM OUTTA THERE! lucky lucky me, i really gotta thank God for getting me out of that horrible situation. =D you know....all those posts that i had on the treatment that i had to go through in camp. However, i also did meet good people there of course! i know i had bad experiences with 2 sergeants in camp but of course there are really good ones too! those that really care for us, watch over our well being and protect us when needed to ^^ its not ALL bad in 30SCE, but just generally bad :)

After that i was voationalised as a signaller! hahahah you know how everyone says that signallers, drivers and storeman are the slack vocations in army? hahaha i gotta totally agree man! i mean yes we do have times when it gets pretty challenging but most of the time, we have it off pretty well most of the time! ah well might as well combine 3DA together with this! so... becoming a signaller has been really fun!OK at first, i was still kinda apprehensive that i would have to go back to 30SCE in the end since they sent me over to be a signaller. but LUCKILY....i got reposted to air force, 3DA! DA=Defence Artillery. means we shoot down planes. oh but my job is just to maintain that communiations is up.  :P so other than that...and some duties that we have to carry out, SLACK SLACK SLACK. also, in the air force, like i said before, its not so rank conscious there! so we dont really feel like that massive gap between normal men and sergeants and officers. its like everyone knows that we need each other, so just work together and bond together! that should be the spirit man...! im just so glad that i am finally in a better environment, an environment that i feel so much happier in!

BEST OF ALL, i actually got to make friends (unexpectedly) with a really really awesome person! its like WOW we actually are able to understand each other so so well and its just so awesome having that person chat with me all the time! if not, can you imagine how lonely im gonna be?? (ps im single thats why) and it becomes so good when you have a person to share your joys and sadness with! its kinda hard if you try tanking all the problems to yourself with no avenue to talk about it. hahah all this while its like yes you do have friends to talk to, etc etc but there are just some problems that you dont mention to anyone ;) after been waiting for so long, i finally have someone to talk to if i have a problem! moreover, i know i can be comfortable whilst saying out my problems :) hahahaha gee i guess 2012 really ended off pretty well huh! i actually got to make a really really good friend! :DD

enjoy all your 2013 celebrations! while i prepare my stuff to book in! one more week in 3DA :) life seems a whole lot better and brighter now that i have found a really really good friend. I am so gonna treasure that friend of mine! :D
