Initially, with 2 men down from our team, I thought we wont be participating in the race. Elton only informed me about this matter at around 8.50am. =.=" Wow... That's early... when we are supposed to gather at 9am.

Alright... Nothing to runt about but at the end of the day, with the participation of 2 facilitators; Jason and Yvonne; as well as Mei Ling's inclusion to our team, I guess everyone did have a good time assisting each other throughout the various obstacles in the race.

The most fun part?? I guess its still the soccer game, which we got our 1st win to the other teams though we lost like 4 to 5 games to them?? Haha....

Especially the basketball game, which we lost to them like crazy. If only I possessed Auntie Emily's skills, I guess I could score more while playing the game. =X

Not forgetting, the game of "100 seconds with no NG"!! Our team complete the task within 2 takes, in 30 seconds. Cool!

Throughout the event, we were walking rather than running. Yet, we did have a good time with all the cold jokes and chit chats. At least, we are team 18th among the 27 groups. Good job guys!!

By the way, wondering what's our team name? No Idea. Yeah... 'No Idea' was a instant spur of moment that we thought of this name. We have really no idea what's our team name actually.


Pictures to share.... =]

So many participants for GOR! Its a successful race I guess! =]

Playing in an unfamiliar position on Monday did not make me match up to my expected potential through the play between R18 and R19's match on Monday.

Started with the left midfield, playing for the opposition due to their lack in numbers, I tried to create some passes and manage to hit one shot on target but yet saved by the goalie of R18; Marcos. Quite frustrating but it was fun anyway. Unforunately, my play ends 10 minutes later and I was back to the substitute bench.

The 2nd opportunity came with this time round, playing for R18; the right midfield. Only minutes of introduction ends my chance to play at my preferred position and to perform. I only managed to get contact with the ball once and that's it. Sad to say, I'm was warming up the bench throughout the 1st half of the game.

2nd half came and I played the last 20 minutes of the match in a left back position. I tried my best to defend but yet, we conceded again and again. I had a string of good passes but failed to execute a good finish. Even at the dying minutes, I missed the chance for a header, probably also due to the high leg from the opponent that I feared myself from suffering from a concussion just like John Terry. Scary...

End of the match, with us leading 4 -1 yet losing 6 - 7. What a great comeback from R19. We tried but complacency and team effort were the 2 things lacking in the team. I got a few comments from my mates that I've performed much better compared to street soccer but I brush off the comments that I was just trying my best. Am I good? Nah... Not really...

Let's hope the next game we play would be a better score line, especially to our team's favour.

------------------------------------------------------------

Today's soccer was a short one. Just an hour of play and I need to head home to attend some serious matters regarding to my future. Anyway, I was not performing that well as I was still exhausted from morning's incident.

I had IPPT the day before and my body is aching. In search for more rest, I end up waking up at 5.30am during this holiday as my Mum placed her phone (with her alarm on) at my room table, which kept ringing till I had to wake up and switch it off. By then, I'm awake. =.="

I scored a goal today. Not a good execution but a painful experience I guess. One of the worst goals I ever scored. John crossed the ball to me which all I had to do was to tap the ball in. Yet, the placement of the ball was too high, which hit my groin area. I dont need to explain more from here but yeah, the ball went in. GOAL!!

I was feeling the pain by then. Ouch... How did I score such a crazy goal using a crazy technique. Guess... its a good experience I could regard as the best moments during my play of all soccer matches; The painful goal I ever scored.

More things to do tomorrow, with an adventure race and a visit to Sitex fair I guess. I'm hoping to have a night run again. Strange... Maybe I like to run? Or there's something for me to prove to myself...

Cheers... Night...

I attended the Dover Hospice Walk yesterday, which was an event that is complusory for some of the squads. Although it was a short walk, approximately 3.5km, I guess its still a healthy gesture to indicate to all that walking is also a good way to stay healthy, sort of.

I had helped out in the FINA Swimming World Cup 2009 at Singapore Sports School a day before and I had a long day while helping. Most of the athletes performed well and some had achieved records for the tournament. Congrats to all whom had participated the event, helping in any way.

After the World Cup 2 days ago, I had a run to Sembawang about 10 plus at night. Its nice to share your trouble sometimes with others. I had been feeling down recently but after the chat, I have a better understanding of what I'm suppose to do in the remaining months in camp. Thanks... =]

Followed by a Sunday morning swim at Xiu Hui's house!! I missed swimming!!! By then, I was shagged but still had to attend the Hospice walk.

So today, it was a soccer match between R18 and R19 and R19 won. The scoreline was 6 - 7 and we lost by a goal. They had a great fight back and we had been over confident. I nearly scored from 30 metres from goal when playing for the opposition team, since they lack in numbers.

With not much opportunity to perform, not much chance to play in my preferred position, I guess I had done what I could for the game. Left midfield, followed by my favourtie right midfield which last for minutes and the remaining left back for the 2nd half.

Wow... Must I always be in the left?? I wondered, especially with a right footed mind.

Book in time... Sian...

I always wanted to post this!!

Its my first time visiting Henderson Waves. Although its in the morning, where there's no lights to beautify the place of interest, yet there is fresh air and a good bird's eye view from the top.

Not forgetting, with Cai Yun's Mama joining our group for the entire hike and cycle, I wish she did had a good experience from the outing. Probably, the next time round if possible, everyone bring their parents out for a fun-filled outing experience that got to do with nature?!!

Anyway, I had a goooooooooooooooooooooooooooood meal that day! Let me guess... What have I eaten...

- Chicken Wings
- Korean Food
- Carrot Cake
- Prawn Noodles
- Curry Puff
- Chicken Rice
- Dumpling Noodles

WOW!! Okay... I'm hungry. I miss local food, which taste better than camp food by many times.

Some pictures of the day.... =]

I need more time!! Yes! More time to rest and relax... More time to blog... More time to mingle with all my friends....

They say National Service is simply just serving it but now I've tasks to complete at home. Aside with the boots polishing but also, the many stuff, aka. homework, that need to be submitted each week.

I'm pretty lazy... Gosh... Many things to blog since there's plenty of things happening for the past 3 weeks.

Well, I MUST blog this coming week I guess.

Still, thanks Mr. Lee for the memories in Canberra Band. Like a fatherly figure to the rest of the band members, you are always there for us whenever we need help or advice. Thanks for the care for the past 7 to 8 years even though I've graduated from Canberra Secondary for 4 years. Not forgetting that, you are one of my main inspirators towards music, which lead to where I am today; a guy who's enjoying with music and singing, as well as once learning to compose songs. Thank you. =]

Alright, I finally swam today morning and it feels good to be soaked in the water. Yet, my timings for my freestyle has deproved. More practices are needed. Lets try the next coming week then. =]

Time to be back to camp soon. Next week then...
