so actually btw my btt and ftt, 13 days... beat that man!!!

神 liao.... time to mug!!!! read 1 time liao.. must pass!!! now to refresh and book etrial.. so far the e trial i book timing not very favourable.. sian..



wish me luck guys.. i'll update :)

is THAT card that costs 50 bucks... that'll suffice... yea.. that elusive one...
or a remarkable laptop.. wouldnt mind that either..



ya so if anyone got earlier slot for ftt, preferably july slot, & feeling generous, u know who to approach.. 助人为快乐之本 ma.. rite??


waiting waiting waiting... pirates of e caribbean.. 2 fast 2 furious 2, remote.. btw dun waste money watch scary movie 4.. seriously not worth it.. watched it like 2 months back.. go catch something else instead.. cars, superman returns or watever, jus not scary movie..

cos if u din watch war of e worlds, the grudge, ju-on and the village, u'll be totally lost.. yea.. n e movie got no story line too..


i'm so damn bored that i'm actually refreshing every 30 mins or so at e cdc web so see if got earlier slots for ftt.. applaudable determination i must say.. haha.. 고αmή کίλπ man e whole july so many slots all fully booked.. pissed..



really feels damn shoik seeing that countdown timer tick down the seconds <------.. it reads 529 days now.. by the time u see the post, could be much lower.. it just means i'm closer to 071207.. haha..

world cup ending soon.. and now all e matches all so late.. haiz..

The Medical Centre - a fully air conditioned building... with an 8-5 routine.. sibei song!!! lol..

we hardly even need to pay compliments to officers / superiors who come and report sick.. think they also dun dare demand it la.. i mean since it could result in a very very long wait to see the mo.. lolz...

den its a heaven for soccer fans as they have 5 options.. u can choose to watch soccer(there's 3 tvs), u can choose to play table soccer.. alternatively, u could play street soccer(every afternoon??), or actual one on the field.. best of all, play soccer IN the medical centre.. haha.. at night, u're e boss liao when ur senior medics go home..

or if u play dota, play dota at night.. u can choose computers from triage, medical officer room 1-4, senior medic room.. that amounts to 8 diff com connected by lan.. and as usual when the senior medic leaves, who knows?

u can also choose to sleep... about 20 beds in the sick bay to choose from.. take your pick.. downside is that the aircon is freezing.. feels like sleepin during winter in a hotel.. hah..

lunch is from 11-1.30.. supposed to be from 12-1.30.. but sometimes when there's
hardly any patients.. haha..

surf the net after office hours also can..


yea so to reiterate, i'm enjoying life..

though it'd be perfect if e allowance COULD be increased by a lot..
lol...

anythings~

but got some medics, esp SOME jc medics, super kia si.. give up.. everything also scared to do.. ask them to go eat, must ask permission.. buy stuff, ask permission.. go toilet, ask permission.. helloooo?? wanna ask permission to book out too??


cant be bothered.. passed my btt.. happy.. 16 mins to complete plus check.. haha.. cant wait for the LICENSE!!!!!!

yea.. my 3rd passing out!!! no more courses!!! plus i'll be promoted to corporal tmr.. could really do with the extra $70.. no more PRIVATE.. screwed up rank..

took ippt ytd... pass only.. but satisfied enough.. since my jump sucked and so did my 2.4.. cant believe i failed shuttle run on 1st try.. *shakes head embarassly* but i pulled 10 pull ups...!!! cant believe it myself.. omg man.. damn 神... haha.. and to think i entered bmt with 0.. lol.. thats like 10/0 = infinity percentage increment sia!!!!

3 weeks came and passed.. outstanding~


got this 4 divers coursemates of mine.. nice pple, good sense of humour.. haha.. overall quite ok ba e course... plus soccer fans.. haha.. world cup fever..




on another note.. to the game, the simple game, the beautiful game, the global game..
if u nv subscribe to the scv thing, m'sia channel rtv 2 got screen some matches.. jus for the benefit of some so they dun have to go coffee shops, macs, or pple's house to watch.. *cough* cheapskates *cough*.. kiddin.. no offence..

yea.. thats all folks.. gotta catch a game..

watched poseidon ytd.. omg the way that guy did cpr, like shit!! little wonder the woman died.. lol..

digressing, do u know that u can be sued if u perform cpr on someone else if u're not certified to perform cpr? *cough* i'm certified *cough* ..

imagine this..... one day u're on the mrt.. this person faint.. no pulse.. den u do cpr on him and tyco-ly save his life.. den guess wat? next day he send u lawyer letter.. lol.. hilarious.. anw if u really do cpr, rmb to tell the paramedic how long u did already and how many ribs u crack (seriously)...


back to the topic.. the show sucks.. thats e truth.. jus watched for fun only.. but i cant help but notice that the whole show super related to what i learnt as a medic and in navy.. haha.. and also made me wanna go cruise again.. zzz..

the cpr, life rafts, drowning, jumping from ship, satellite rescue thingy, flares, fire extinguishers (??) etc.. feel tt its really impt to know safety procedures where ever u are (eg. escape routes, using life jacket, etc) .. u'll never noe wat could happen..


on another note.. diving..
probably one of e most dangerous sport in the world.. and very costly too..

its a super complicated hobby.. i mug till i damn sick liao.. seriously have no idea why got so many pple go diving.. lolz..


jus the equipment u've to carry weighs a ton.. flippers, air supply, etc la..
and then u've to be careful when descending and ascending.. do it too fast and u risk getting barotrauma (baro = pressure, trauma = illness)[boyle's law], ascend too fast and u might get decompression illness (or bends) because of the nitrogen bubbles [boyle's law], go too deep and u get nitrogen narcosis [Henry's law].. or u could get oxygen toxicity if u breathe O2 too long [Dalton's law]... its a nightmare...

and i tell u, the treatment, is super expensive.. only 3 places in singapore provides treatment for diving related injuries.. navy and i think sgh and 1 more private 1.. u'll be placed in a chamber that'll be pressurerized (using air) to create an underwater enviroment.. den the bubbles/air will etc etc etc..


plus there're DMA (dangerous marine animals).. sea shells on the seabed are live.. there're organisms living within.. and some idiots go pick, and get poisoned (venemous), still got sharks etc..


too technical?? dun noe.. thats what i'm studying.. haiz..

http://schools.moe.edu.sg/cchy/academic_topscorers.htm <-- damn cool.. haha..

it seemed only ytd i took that darned ferry for the 1st time to that god forsaken island called tekong.... time flies... now fitter, i can pass ippt and am 2 weeks away from a new rank.. :D


though its 2 years of my life and why must we serve, i find myself extremely lucky already... i mean, how many people get 8-5? its more than a dream come true.. esp when i think of those pple doing section movement, chiong sua, route march, soc etc.. k i'm gloating, so be it.. :P

stuff i learn is more likely to be used in real life.. REAL life saving skills...
wats more i get to revise my physics & chem.. true.. Boyle's law, Charles law, Dalton's law, partial pressure, gases, plus i get to know more bio stuff.. human anatomy, respiration, excretion, circulation etc etc etc...


furthermore world cup is next friday.. kept worrying that i wouldnt be able to watch.. haha.. i now can... (kinda funny hardly any of my closer frens are soccer fans.. lolz.. i mean like 80% of pple in ns are soccer fanatics.. its a great game.. learn to love it!)


even if i remain a corporal for the rest of my 2 yrs, i wouldnt really mind.. though i'd be lying to say i dun want further promotion.. i mean nobody finds fault with more $$ rite? hah..


navy.. the sun, the sea, and the sand.. ahhhh... life is great!! lolz..

Trip to Japan, Taiwan, Australia, India, Indonesia (and maybe US) etc.. ALL FOR FREE......!!!

sorry girls.. offer not extended to u.. unless u decide to sign on navy.. lol..


i might get e chance to sail frequently and go to those places during port of calls courtesy of SAF.. omg... probability of 8/18... i want!!


even though on board ship when sailing is stay in, i dun mind!!

ya so as above, quite obviously i might be chosen to be an ops navy medic and can go cruise every 2-3 months.. kinda heavenly.. haha..

plus got extra sailing allowance and quite a number of disembarkation leave when we get back... whahaha


best of all e cabins on e ships got aircon... + life on board quite nothing to do 1.. and e food nice some more.. power!!!




~enjoying 8-5 now.. travel time only 1 hr.. quite ok la.. too bad to those not staying out... i emphatize.. i REALLY do!! only 1.5 years left! ~ ~have u ever wondered, why must we serve~

bring on the seasickness.. !!


anw jus found out humanitarian missions pays damn a lot.. wth.. nsf, depending on risk level, get paid btw $50-$200 a day leh.. A DAY!!! imagine those who went aceh during tsunami for 3 months.. coming home $18,000 richer!!! damnz
