Ahhhh. My last post was 8 months ago. Shows how I've not been reflecting much in 2014 hahas. Ohhh well. 2014 wasn't exactly a productive year for me tbh but good thing is, I've made a lot of friends through army and I'm glad that I could at least end 2014 with my 3SG rank. After all, wanting a cool job or a commander rank was something that has bothered me non-stop since BMTC days. And yeah it's true. As someone has told me back when I was in Tekong, "During your army life, days pass slowly but weeks pass fast." And now that I look back, I have to say that I totally agree.

2014 has been a year of hopeless dreaming so in 2015, I hope bring it all back and achieve it! After all, my stay-in courses in army is over and I am thankful that my stay-out life in PLC MT Line allows me to commit to my other work on hand. Let's start a list of things that I shall get my hands working on for 2015!

Projects from 2014:

• Empower paper (3X Public Transportation Pricing + 1X Cycling Infrastructure + 1X CCA/Community-related topic)
• Scholarship Applications + Interviews + Portfolio Write-ups
• RGB Life! projects

New Projects for 2015:

• Be the ground to connect and talk with residents/volunteers more regularly
• Read ArchDaily everyday
• Explore 1 part of Singapore every week
• 2 historical entries per day
• Jurong Heritage Trail cum Community Sensing

My mind now's blank. I don't want to think of university, scholarship, career prospects, army and that thing anymore. For now I mean. For the past 2 months, it has been so tiring. Like seriously. Which is why, for now, though I am living my army life, I want to dedicate my life to only 2 things. 1, to create opportunities for young people to gain confidence in life or to fulfil their dreams. 2, to watch anime. Heh. Well, like I said, I needed a rest too yeah? So yeah. I have soooo many ideas in mind but I have never properly achieved any because I did not have the resources, expertise, determination and resolve to do it. But now, I think I might have. After all, today's our 1st RGB Life! event and my 1st organizing event in YEC so yay. But yeah, in time to come, through RGB Life! and V2, I will find my way. To make an impact, to create a platform to make an impact and to create an ultimate incentive supporting a platform to make an impact. Opps. For a moment I was back to my idealistic mindset. But yeah. Challenge accepted starts now!

Ahhhhh. Back from 1st day of driving at KBC yay! Ahahas. Hmph. Feels nice to step the accelerator pedal of a proper civilian car for the 1st time in my life. :3 Well tonight's a rather quiet night so I guess I shall do a quick post. Just a short list of some intrinsic values I've learnt in Tekong BMT and plus the new ones from BMTV:

Stripping the rifle shows the small little parts that form up the rifle. And as we force ourselves to memorize the steps, it is how the bolt-sized parts get assembled rapidly into a rifle in a matter of seconds. Compound that population and that's how we get millions of our televisions and our CERN particle accelerators. Ignore the overwhelming scale, approach projects with faith and seek an approach with the least hindering. The world is easier to create than we think

• Learn to learn is to equip with knowledge. Learn to think is to analyze the knowledge. Learn to create is to put the knowledge into practical use for society to progress
• When people throw shit at us, it is all the more important for us to suppress our ego, and siphon out the jewels that hide within the distracting pile of rubbish

So yeah. Just an update, I wasn't selected for SAF Band so ohh well. And yeah. I am now a proud Transport Operator!:D And basically, I drive tonners and land rovers around Singapore (Or Tekong. D: OR OVERSEAS!xD) once I get my military license in 40 days time. I really really hope I get a good posting after POC ahhhhh! Commando unit, Guards unit, Air force driver, BMT TS. Anything. So long as it's not one where I have to sit around and do nothing everyday. So yeah. Worse case I would have to up-PES and then no more civilian class 4 license lo. Hahahas. Okay but either ways, I should not worry now. Target is simple! Aim to pass my 3-tonner driving test on the 1st try! Jiayous me!^^
 

Mehhhh.

So many initiatives for me but I won't be working on any of it cause of NS. Pffftttt. Let's see.

For Empower paper, I probably can't do it since I don't have the time to do interviews and surveys amidst CLC work. 16 days and 2 years worth of weekends probably isn't enough for me to work on my cycling and MRT paper so ohh well. Give up. I guess. Interestingly, after NS when I come back, the key developments in my proposed paper will be completed already. Like the inter-town and intra-town cycling paths plus the Downtown Line and finalized plans for the Jurong Region Line. So ohh well. It's now or never and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to make any inputs. :/

For SingaPAWH, there's hope hahas. The core team's mostly out and quite a lot of contacting and networking has been going on so yeah. I guess all I can do is to set the direction right and ultimately, the dirty work will be done by someone else since I'm in NS. ;-; Much apologies. =/ But yeah, I guess I'll most probably be working on PR since I won't be around and I'll have to work like mad on weekends. This is my only project left!=P

There's my UK uni application and scholarship application too which I have yet to start so I'm pretty worried. Well though bulk of the forms and write-ups shall be done before NS, I guess my portfolio work can only be worked on during the weekends so ohh well. More time gone. X.X

Ahhhh and lastly. Comm Serv Sect work. Well I probably can't join in on Feb V2 to Marina Barrage so yeah. I hope it succeeds. :3 Speaking of which, it's rather sad because I personally have not went for any external (out of CC) V2 event before so yeah. *criessss* Hahahas. But ohh well. That can happen perhaps sometime during and after NS so see how. For now, as in Jan, I still have the CNY V2 help-out so let's just work hard for that!xD

Teehee. Yeap. That's it for my rants on work. Ohh well. I'm going to rest hard during NS. Work can wait I guess. And I hope I can still continue my passion on all these things when I come out. :B

PS. It's time. I think I should submit my form some time this week. (:
