25 June.

It's 6am now. And I just woke up.
Brand new day. I just fed the two small ones and now, am reading a little of my social psychology textbook on the topic of attraction and close relationships. Just reading for interest.

Had an outing yesterday. We agreed at Astons, and I had a prime sirloin set. It's s Sunday afternoon and to my surprise, it ain't crowded at all. Started was cream of mushroom with garlic bread. It's a good restaurant. It's price friendly for a student and the portion is big. Mashed potato and pasta salad are the 必点 sides.

Then we went to a game cafe to hang out. We played, Hmm... Ugly ugly, Bang, Monkey on sticks game and Taboo. The first game was just testing of reaction and your level of violence, Haha, 2nd game was abit about tactics, and little bit about luck. I was the Renegade like twice. The Monkey game was silly. And Taboo, is taboo.

Let's see if there's any luck for a breakfast/lunch at JB Malaysia later!

Good Morning!

Presents... ;D

Sis bought me presents from San Francisco. Happy happy!

Tee plus Capistrano shorts. Love the set. V.Secrets, Secret Charm has a really nice aroma. I like it. And the other accessories fits perfect.

There's also another present from 欣欣阿姨 from Taiwan!

Lovely surprise indeed.

Determined Realist. From iPersonic.

Your personality type: "Determined Realist"

Practical, traditional and organized. Likely to be athletic. Not interested in theory or abstraction unless they see the practical application. Have clear visions of the way things should be. Loyal and hard-working. Like to be in charge. Exceptionally capable in organizing and running activities. "Good citizens" who value security and peaceful living.

Careers that could fit you include:

Military, business administrators, managers, police/detective work, judges, financial officers, teachers, sales representatives, government workers, insurance agents, underwriters, nursing administrators, trade and technical teachers.

• Andrew Jackson, American president
• Bette Davis, actress
• Elliot Ness, prohibition agent
• George W. Bush, American president
• Grover Cleveland, American president
• James Monroe, American president
• John D. Rockefeller, industrialist and philanthropist
• Lyndon B. Johnson, American president
• Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart
• William Henry Harrison, American president

Determined Realists like you want to bear responsibility and welcome challenges. You are a stable and reliable person. External contacts are very important to you; you mix well and you are very active. You are an excellent organiser and you are very happy when things are done correctly and punctually; you can quickly react impatiently if others are not as conscientious, orderly and dutiful as you are. You prefer structured work which produces visible results quickly to abstract, long-drawn-out processes. Determined Realists have no problem with routine as long as it serves efficiency. However, you very much dislike unexpected and unpredictable occurrences which mess up your careful plans. Once you have committed yourself to a cause you do this with dedication and you are willing to make considerable sacrifices for it.

Determined Realists do not avoid conflicts and criticism but face up to them and look for solutions. As you have a keen eye for the errors and shortcomings of others and you are often quick at expressing criticism, you sometimes rub people up the wrong way - especially when you lose your temper and jump to conclusions. Due to your marked sense of justice you are quickly willing to correct yourself and never take offence if someone speaks to you frankly. Determined Realists like you are often found in executive positions as you combine commitment, competence and the ability to assert yourself. In your spare time, you also accept responsibility in clubs and other institutions.

As a Determined Realist, you are one of the extroverted personality types. You enjoy working in a team as a colleague or a team leader. Because you have an outgoing nature, you approach others easily and openly; working in solitude by yourself would be punishment for you. You know how to appreciate a harmonic working climate, but the relationship to your colleagues is not as important to you as to some of the other personality types. For you, the task always comes first and your colleagues and/or superiors are second. As long as everybody is working as disciplined and determined as you are, everything is just fine.

However, if you sense that the work is suffering from irrelevant disputes or private matters that have nothing to do with the job, you have no problem expressing your criticism, and making your team toe the line. It would never occur to you to sacrifice a good result in your work on the altar of personal moods, or in favor of a conflict free environment. On the other hand, you are one of the personality types who is best at handling criticism, and swallow negative feedback without brooding or sink into depression. Consequently, you also can hold your ground in professions where the climate is a little rougher and more competition oriented.

You are an excellent organizer, and a genius at planning and maintaining a workflow that is precise and on time. You enjoy dealing with details and facts, developing rules and guidelines, and establishing standards. Here, your natural sense for systematic and love of order prove to be advantageous; as well as your acute aptitude to see the most efficient of all possible approaches. Where your work is concerned, “reliability” is your second name. You have a real problem leaving things to chance, and you hate nothing more than when something unexpected happens, thus throwing your carefully laid plans into chaos without warning. When a project you conceived is implemented without any hiccups and is brought to a good end, this is your greatest joy.

I love to do tests.

Holidays.

Just finished the 43th episode, which is also the final episode of 新兵日记。And a short episode of 特战英雄。The former series is a very long one. Each episode spanning about one and a half hours. I managed to finished it quite fast. I've been following an Owl's body clock this period. The episode 2 was not in the hard disk, so I can't continue with it. I like that show. I'm going to be a 新兵 soon. Just that in SG, it'll be conducted in Tekong whereas in Taiwan, it's in 成功岭。

I'm preparing to watch MI, the ghost protocol next. Today is the 26th day of my holidays, since the last paper. So relaxed. I'm still waiting to be called up for the part time work. They are still scheduling for the OJT.

Spain vs France just ended. Other than the scores, I seldom read into the Euro 2012. The subscription in Singapore is expensive. 60+ SGD for the Euro 2012 package. So, nah, I'll skip it. It'll be good if they set up a pay per match thing.

Although I wish I can take a short trip during the holiday period.. Hmm, but I think I'll postpone it to a further date. I'd like to visit Taiwan next, to visit 欣欣阿姨. And also, I'd like to go diving again (I once said I want to do it once per year). Actually I had another crazy idea reserved. That is, to go to Bali and surf for one whole month. I like the place, plus, I'd like to pick up the sport from where I left.

I'm reading up on financial budgeting. It's time to do some planning.

Hanging out tomorrow.

Mer just came in to hangout.

It's almost 5.45am.

Almost there.

Called to check if the second set of personal particulars form and surety form is in already. Mid of next month, I'll be down to AFRC and CMPB for the sizing up and stuff. I've wrote down a list of stuff. And I'm slowly 'collecting' the items. I have an almost completed toiletry bag with goodies already. There's one thing I want to bring in. That is, a dozen of 我的美丽日记。I like tanning, but think it'll be very beneficial and nutritious for the skin to have a beauty regime. I will do it everyday or, every two days.

It's really all back to basics. Most stuffs will be provided and we need to prepare only a backpack of personal stuffs. So exciting.

I'm watching 新兵日记now. So basically, 少尉= Second Lieutenant, 连长= Captain,  At episode 34 now. It's like the more you watch, the more you bond with the characters. I like the spirit of 孙排长， the 魔鬼排长。Although I'm not in a military setting yet, I can connect to the story. Similar to the training concept.

要做，就做最好的。

Watching. 新兵日记。

I love.  
Stealthily.

Nice bag.

Dakine girls toiletry bag. Good design. Both interior and exterior. Functional and practical. Like. But, I think it's very BIG.

Some feelings.

Definitely have a positive attitude. Will I miss the luxury of freedom? Maybe a little bit. But on the other hand, I always liked to keep myself busy. If I have the means, I always want to learn this and that, go here and there. And, I know, somehow, I can achieve this by choosing this path. I've declared myself as an unofficial graduate till August when the final results are out.

Other than being excited, I'm a little worried. A little for the training, but mostly because of the bond length. As the contract signing is drawing near, it's inevitable that I have this concern. I like trainings. And I hope I will get to like the life as well.

I don't want to think too much. It should be okay to take one step at a time. Nobody said it'll be easy. Nothing is 100% confirmed and I know I have to qualify based on my own merits. I just hope that everything will go smooth. I've waited so long till the day I got the 'Go' sign. It will be very difficult to stop me now.

I have an unfinished business with Aviation.

I'll prepare the BMT items after contract signing. Meanwhile, I'm looking out for the necessary, non-issued items I'm interested to buy and preparing the necessary documents.

What did my dad say? I just briefly told him I passed the pre-requisite and described to him the job descriptions in Chinese. He seemed to be supportive but I know he also has his concerns since he is the father you know. I think he thinks I'd be able to do it. Just like for any tournament, I'd tell him I'm going for this and that, and I'll return with something for him to see. Before the three of us show him any of our achievements, we already anticipate what will be his word of encouagement and congratulations would be. It's always the same. I'm always happy to hear the same thing, although secretly wishing he could add a few fresh lines.

My mum? During the application process, she's been worried about whether I'd be able to pass the series of tests. And now, after passing them and finally some dates are settled, she's worried about the training toughness. But I get it. She does not want me to be disappointed. I think she also knows it's difficult to stop me, how much I wanted it and that I've always has this exotic taste for this career path.

And my sis? I think she's happy for me. But also worried about it being 'not as easy as it seems'. And she's the one that I always update to. She always has some sort of a calming effect which is good, which is something I appreciate. She's much more verbally expressive than me.

My bro knows and he's just teasing me about some piglet thing. Don't wanna elaborate but it's funny on a scary side. It's his turn next year since he's a Singaporean male. And oh, I still thought maybe there's a chance we can be in the same batch. Wouldn't it be so fun?

I believe in doing things that you love. I like to learn and I like challenges. I'm looking forward.

Just a free Monday.

Visited the post office in the afternoon to send a parcel to our family's pen pal. Post office seems to sell loads of stuff and also provide loads of services. And I once mentioned. I love snail mails. And I like to send them out too. You know, it's nice to have a pen pal.

In the afternoon, I finally fufilled that promise to bring the two big ones out for a swim. He seemed to be quite profecient now. And she is making excellent progress. After a bath, they smell really nice now. Just like the Budle budle shampoo. We should have exhausted them by now. But hmm, Mer is still chewing on the baseball rawhide I bought.

Had a crazy dinner. So fun to laugh at silly things.

Chillax.

Friday's training was good. Got to work harder to get my body at it's peak faster.

On Sunday, we went to Malaysia JB for curry F.H. It's still as good. But less salty, less spicy this time. It's lik 38 Ringgit for a large bowl of that. With lady fingers, long beans, cabbages and fried beancurd skin. I think pairing it with chilled herbal tea was the best.

The cinema inside Citysquare was by Cathay. And the weekend ticket is only 12 Ringgit. It's like 5SGD? Madagascar 3 was pretty good. It was filled with excitement, touching and funny. And sometimes they all come together at the same time. There's a bit of exaggeration in some parts. But overall I like it. And oh ya, all the foreign accents too. Melman's voice was actually David Schwimmer's.

If everybody close their eyes, and just listen to the movie alone...How will it be.

Chillaxing Friday and Saturday.

Seriously.

Today, after washing up, I relaxed awhile before calling in again. By this time, I've already been so familiar with the 11 digit toll free number. I was not prepared for an answer, but I did expect some progression of my application. Today, I got what I needed. I'll most probably be signing the contract soon. And I'll be enlisting in July. When I heard this, I was really excited because this means no more waiting. Two months break in between the end of exams and the start of he working phase is just nice. In fact, good enough. I was excited the whole afternoon. I watched some videos, read some articles, spread the good news to some of my friends whom I think are free and will be concerned. It's slowly sinking in. I'm sorta familiar with what to expect, but at the same time, not that too familiar.

Will be sticking to the training schedule strictly till July. Had a good stretch last Tuesday. All muscles are aching which is a good thing.

I'm sure I'll should be able to persevere on. Think it'll be a fun adventure. I love such things.

But at the same time, I think I'll miss civilian life during that period.

It's slowly sinking in. And it's good. At least something is happening.

Aching...

Aaahhh, it feels so good.

Back on track!

Finished:
Season 5, episode 19-24 of the Big Bang Theory.
This means war and Crazy, Stupid, Love (today).

We bought a zoo.

Emotional roller coaster ride.

I feel that story.
