Let me sum up 2008 and get ready for 2009.
January -New Classmates (was i thinking of the word "nerd"? still remember when the next teacher has yet to come to class, they would talk out even an emaths txtbk to read.. Stressed out at that moment sia..), New sub combi (thought I would be able to do well cuz i liked sci n maths?), Sec 3 camp (sucks, my class was splitted up), Committee post (Not what I expected, what I wanted, but had to live with it), CCA Orientation (Much unpleasant stuffs, we were on our own?)
February -CNY Outing (Liked the night when there were just 'us' left behind), got to know ppl involved in FAC (was kind of unexpected that some were in/out for no good reason that I could understand as a cadet in the past)
March -Tough training for FAC, wasn't easy with no trainers at times, all the disputes, the sacrifices for time to do hmk, sleep in class etc. Finally, managed to train hard, stayed back sometimes at mac to learn more hn/fa, to hq till sky's dark, dinner of char kuey teow at the porch)
April -12 came, FAC big day (got champs, spend the night together having fun at suntec area to raffles playing truth or dare)
May -Catch up with school work from Jan-Apr, lost interest with studies, lagging too much, sleep even more than before in class. Still had the habit of staying at mac to do work with frens.
June -Training Camp (just didn't know when to do what, a lost sheep), OBS camp(overly tired from sjab camp, fell asleep in their briefings, overall, fun!), SJAB day (was in the hall, quite sucky)
July -NFAC (Can't forget that I had a stomach ache after eating breakfast and went to SHIT. Heng I did it before footdrill came, LOL. When all ended, we went to eat pastamania tog, lots of tots went through my mind. It marked the end of my tough FAC journey, suddenly no more FAC, life indeed felt wierd), FAQ (Studied the night b4 at Cheryl's house. Morning studied a little on TOC, didn't regret that, when thing came, we were still so unprepared, in fact, I think I used bio for a lot of questions!)
Aug -Mugging time (felt so lost as fac ended), BGI (kept my weekends filled)
Sept -Mug even more, Shoppings, Prize Presentation at HQ (The night was filled with honor, all the achievements, the tough work, seems so have been worthwhile)
Oct -CCA Suspended, exams came, was really trying hard to do well, mugging 2 weeks before exams, still mugging before the day of exam
Nov -Course Achieve (Tough training to all), HN Course (Attended 1/2 lessons?), Hospital Attachment (Made me learn to love as I shared a bond with the patients, they told me stories, I cared for them etc), Vietnam Sch trip (Really enjoyed it, ppl there were really friendly, changed me a lot starting from my attitude and character, became more accepting, easy going, lesser temper)
Dec -Swam a lot, gym a little, out with SJAB ppl real often, planned Christmas BBQ, bought sch books (prepared for 2009 but I thought I said before school holidays that I'll start studying for 2009 in adv? LOL!)
Finally, 2008 has ended. Guess my greatest commitment was to SJAB. However, I would like to thank my friends for keeping me going. During this tough time, I felt like giving up, felt like the world was inhumane. But this has built a stronger and more resilient me, able to withstand more workload, more self discipline, and on the other hand, appreciate what I have, learn to be more understanding.
2009 started, my goals:
1) Finish all my homework on time
2) Not sleeping in class
3) Listening to teacher attentively (so that I do not need to study at home?)
4) Train up a new/good batch of NCOs to be/ FAC team
5) Mug real hard for O's. Aim --> Single Digit!
6) Use less computer
7) Keep up with my friends/classmates
8) Spend time with family?
9) Don't touch those stuffs ever again
10) Keep up with a good character being, most importantly, NEVER GIVE UP
Reminder - When a door closes, another door opens!
