Happy Father's Day

Haha my blog

Its been a while since I've been here

So here's some little updates about my life thus far.

Been enlisted in the army for a year now and it has opened my eyes to many things,

The dark and cruel people in society, 

The unjust and the many corruptions, 

The heart-warming moments and restoring of faith in humanity,

New found buddies from another mummy, 

The relentless torments from combat training,

And improvements to character, mental and physical capabilities.

I can't really say that army has been a waste of my precious time (although there were SO many moments that were very fitting of that description), but at the end of the day I found myself a changed man. 

reality has been hard smacked into my face,

I'm 22 this year,Ii have get my degree and I haven't had a good mind of where i see myself in in the future,

A surge of obligations and expectations popped out of nowhere,

I don't have a girlfriend :(

CoCo's been ignoring me quite a lot too :(( LOL

Also, over the past year

I've become quite a workout nut, partly because of army, and partly because of the thrill, sense of accomplishment, exceptionally good time killer, better health, and of course BETTER BODY ahahaha...

Chiong-ed the gym really often before and gain quite a bit of mass.
BUT WHY YOU AUNTIES STILL SAY I BECOME FAT...!!!
Okay maybe I really am fat @ 16% BF currently, mostly at the rubber float.

Trying out a new diet to cut those unnecessary fats.

The Renegade Diet <--- check="" font="" it="" out="">

So for the me now who still hasn't have the slightest clue about what I want to do in other areas of my life in the near future

Here's my plan for myself physically

Aim:

20 muscle ups
2 min human flags
20 levers
30 dips
Squat 2x BW
Lalanne pushups!!!
Run 2.4km in under 9 minutes

Personally, I wish that everybody work out regularly instead of living the typical sedentary lifestyle once they start assimilating into the working society.

You will feel better

Look Better

Think Better

Respect the Training,
Honour the Commitment,
Cherish the Results!

Train hard everyone

你存在
我深深的脑海里
我的梦里
我的心里 
一个眼神，
一个心跳....
一种意想不到的快乐，
好像是一场梦境
命中注定

The 2 years of my NS life is gonna be so fun, action-packed, exciting, adrenaline-rushing, toughballs, hellish, rewarding, decorated, omgwtfbbq filled. Geez to think I got an already tough vocation in one of the toughest units in SAF... hurh hurh


God Bless Us All~ AMEN

一闪一闪亮晶晶,

 留下岁月的痕迹

我的世界的中心

 依然还是你

一年一年又一年 

飞逝仅在一转眼

唯一永远不改变 

是不停地改变

我不像以前的自己, 你也有点不像你

但在我的眼中你的笑, 依然的美丽

日子只能往前走, 一个方向顺时钟

不知道能爱多久, 所以要让你懂

我依然爱你 就是唯一的退路

我依然珍惜 时时刻刻的幸福

你每个呼吸, 每个动作, 每个表情

到最后 一定会 依然爱你

looking forward to seeing you really soon

	Let's start the 1 1/2 years more of army

“You are tougher than you think you are.”
-Motivational Banner, Tekong Ferry Terminal


I still vividly recall the morning of Tuesday, the 6th of March; the sleepless night before, the anxiety-ridden drive across the country from Choa Chu Kang to Pasir Ris, my first steps onto Pulau Tekong, all of it. Like many of the hundreds of recruits enlisting that day, and the many thousands who had enlisted before, I was in emotional turmoil. I was perhaps a little excited about the new people I would meet, but most of all, I was nervous, and had no idea what to expect. I was a typical cynic, begrudging of the two years of my precious youth that would soon be taken away from me. I had heard many horror stories about the strict regimentation, the incredible amount of running, and the miseries of living inside a jungle. All the uncertainty gave way to a cloud of dread that descended upon me as I walked through TFT. Naturally, the motivational banner on toughness caught my eye. “So how tough am I?” I wondered.


17 weeks on, my impressions and my personality have undoubtedly changed. My BMT experience was enriching, and surprisingly positive. Of course there was pain, there was sweat, and on some occasions, tears. Through it all, I have learnt much about myself and others, about loyalty and determination, and most importantly about treasuring what we have taken for granted for a good 20 years—our freedom, prosperity, and the family and friends who stay by our side through the worst of times.


My defining moment in BMT was the Field Camp. My mental and physical boundaries were pushed, and I really did go beyond what I thought I could accomplish. I made it through, and I came out stronger and better. The first night outfield had a transformational effect on my perspective. Inside a cramped Basha with my buddy, with the minimal personal belongings we had to survive on, surrounded by nothing but raw wilderness and more Bashas, and to top it all off, the ‘tactically’ minimal lighting provided by the red-filtered flashlight served to be a daunting challenge to overcome. Combat rations, sleeping in sweaty, sandy uniforms, the entire Spartan existence that came with staying outfield really shook me up. I was quite frankly extremely frustrated. The cold sleepless night went on forever, but reveille eventually came along and a new day began. Surprisingly I found myself getting used to life outfield by the next day, and I was able to focus on the lessons: movement drills, fire control orders, and the group battle course. I began to realize that we were learning serious soldiering skills, in make-believe scenarios I had only previously envisioned in movies. This fact that I was learning actual soldiering skills gave me more motivation, more drive. I kept telling myself, “I am actually becoming a soldier,” and I coped surprisingly well. I was well out of my comfort zone, but I was enjoying it.


Throughout the whole of BMT and the many challenges it gives new recruits like me, intrinsic motivation is extremely important to outlasting the toughest times. Even more important though, are the companions one finds in his buddy, section-mates and platoon-mates. Positive relationships have a reinforcing effect on anybody, and simply seeing one’s best friends go through the same activities can make the impossible seem readily doable. The bonds forged in tough times are the strongest of bonds, and these bonds will last a lifetime. My defining moment in BMT, the Field Camp, taught me the most important lesson of my NS life: to always treasure my relationships with those around me.


“A diamond is a piece of carbon made good under pressure.”
--Motivational Banner, Tekong Ferry Terminal


Nowadays, when I walk through the ferry terminal, a different banner catches my eye. Through times rough and smooth, amidst all the stress and pressure, each of us is a piece of carbon shaped into a diamond, in our own way based on our own unique experiences. We are transformed, from boys to men, gems of our nation who are ready to answer the call of duty, decisive and swift in action, and respected as leaders of warriors.




BUT NOW I CAN SAY,


POP LO!!!

They say that in the army, the sergeant very nice
You ask for time extension, they ask you go and die
I don't wanna live an army life
I just wanna live a normal life...

Perspective of live has changed ever since my enlistment into the SAF
in a short span of 4 months, so many thoughts, so many worries, so many enlightenments...
its so true that serving NS changes and grooms a boy into a man.

Now when I walk down the streets,
I would look at those young punks smoking and hanging out outside shopping malls, thinking
"damn these kids, wait till you serve NS then you'll know what pain is..."


Time sure pass by really fast,
just 1 - 2 years ago, I was exactly like those young punks I now think need some growing up.
Mentally and physically, changes so dramatic
Thank the Lord I'm born in Singapore, being able to serve even though its tough

Day by day, I am still trying to learn and change myself to lean closer to our Father in heaven,
to listen and to carry out actions, thoughts he sees as good
Walking the path of a Christian life, a redeemed and changed life, is really not easy
We all have to learn and practise it the hard way.


Don't love the world's ways. Don't love the world's goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all itswanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity.

1 John 2: 15-17

and  after so long, 

i saw my first love,

and i realise

 still, till this day,

i have always been in love with her...

我的神恳求你的恩典遮盖我的罪，
我为我过犯深感懊悔。

我要向你承认我的罪与不义，
向你俯伏下跪

我的神恳求你的恩典遮盖我的罪，
我为我过犯深感懊悔。

我要向你承认我的罪与不义，
向你俯伏下跪，

我要现在向你献上我的祷告，
求你拯救我使我不至羞愧，

隐藏我保佑我环绕我引导我，
我要一生致死跟随

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult
Psalm 46:1-3

when the going gets tough, the tough gets going

got my new baby today

Yamaha DTX550k

woots :)

Back from Korea
damn its fun, i miss the place so much now that im back
check out the photos cause im lazy to update and post on the blog

https://www.facebook.com/media/albums/?id=560026341

learnt and experience lots of stuff from this trip

haha so if any of you want information about Korea

you can come and ask me (Y)

Tips for those who want to go to Korea
1. Plan your own itinerary cause tour groups dont let you experience the real Korea
2. Be prepared to walk big time, even transfers in subways give you hell of a walking time, and dont forget about the stairs...

3. Bring lots of money cause the miscellaneous and food expenses will sky-rocket out of your budget, even when you are strictly following it

4. Learn some basic korean phrases and words, if not just make sure you excel in the art of body language

5. Age hierarchy and being polite is a must, okay maybe not so much on the hierarchy part for us foreigners, but still remember to be polite, bow and say thank you

Many things to thank for

and many things to pray for to God to continue leading and watching

主耶稣我感谢祢

祢的身体为我而舍

带我出黑暗进入光明国度

使我再次能看见

主耶稣我感谢祢

祢的宝血为我而流

宝贵十架上医治恩典涌流

使我完全得自由

宝贵十架的大能赐我生命

主耶稣我俯伏敬拜祢

宝贵十架的救恩

是祢所立的约

祢的爱永远不会改变

宝贵十架

Everybody falls sometimes

Gotta find the strength to rise

From the ashes and make a new beginning

Anyone can feel the ache

You think its more than you can take

But you are stronger, stronger than you know

Don't you give up now

The sun will soon be shining

You gotta face the clouds

To find the silver lining

I've seen dreams that move the mountains

Hope that doesn't ever end

Even when the sky is falling

And I've seen miracles just happen

Silent prayers get answered

Broken hearts become brand new

That's what faith can do

It doesn't matter what you've heard

Impossible is not a word

It's just a reason for someone not to try

Everybody's scared to death

When they decide to take that step

Out on the water

It'll be alright

Life is so much more

Than what your eyes are seeing

You will find your way

If you keep believing

I've seen dreams that move the mountains

Hope that doesn't ever end

Even when the sky is falling

And I've seen miracles just happen

Silent prayers get answered

Broken hearts become brand new

That's what faith can do

Overcome the odds

You don't have a chance

(That's what faith can do)

When the world says you can't

It'll tell you that you can!

I've seen dreams that move the mountains

Hope that doesn't ever end

Even when the sky is falling

And I've seen miracles just happen

Silent prayers get answered

Broken hearts become brand new

That's what faith can do

That's what faith can do!

Even if you fall sometimes

You will have the strength to rise

What Faith Can Do

i apologise for things i have done and things i have said
