Today headed down to Sentosa as it's Cougar Company Cohesion Day. Met up with Gordon at 0600 hours and we took a cab from Habour Front Mac inside to Siloso Beach - Sapphire Pavalion.

On the journey - the taxi uncle asked me: "err, sentosa? it is right inside?"

My replied: "Very near only but ended up so so far - as i asked to uncle to drop us at the undewater instead of the beach taxi stand"

Saw the Tankee platoon at sentosa when we reached - the tankee platoon was there since yesterday night - bbq...

Me and Gordon then started playing our volleyball till about 0830 plus when most of the men and commanders came. We kicked off with the amazing race - pre-planned by me. Amazing ended at 11am then it was OTOT activities - when to the volleyball court and played volleyball all the way.. The event ended at 1230pm and soon everyone left except for some of the supportive commanders we stay till 4pm ~ playing volleyball and soccer...

I played team and mainly 2 on 2 with my best partner - Gordon.... Out of a total of about 30 over games - we only lost 1! - Walter & Ser Chuan Vs Gordon & Me (25:20) ... It was so so fun and i simply love it!

However, DY and Jeremy served the ball so hard over - i managed to save ... now my finger super big patch of blue black...

Look at the index finger - big patch of blue black...

Headed to Vivo basement - makan and then all departed from there except for Gordon, Zi Jian & Me. We headed down to Funan Running Lab as Gordon wants to get himself a pair of asics running shoe.

But somehow Funan does have the size Gordon wants - we then headed to Velocity as they have the size but before heading there, we went to taka kino as Zi Jian wants to get the comic - sandman 2 and 3 ...

And after all the trips here and there he finally gotten himself a pair of asics gel nimbus 9 (max cushioning) shoe at $170plus saving a total of $70 plus after using my SAFRA Running Club Discount.

To all who get burnt (mainly all): Please do take care of your skin and apply moisturer...

Life in the camp

Have been recently confused with regards to my posting in 40 SAR and Appointment. Since last Thursday gotten an messaege from my S4 saying that my OC wants me back because XYZ is excuse dust. I was like wth! Thus i decide to act blurr throughout which I did.

Till a few day ago, my OC talked to me and saying that the company would go without CQ and i would still still battalion HQ! However after i spoken to XYZ we finalized everything already. Whereas for my appointment wise, i will become Combat Service Support (CSS) CQMS - it will allows me to move around the battalion to help other companies line CQMS.

What the motivational event in camp for the pass few days - is the out of camp run on Tuesday late noon. I smsed SSG Marc asking if i can get the HQ Plt Commanders (Zi Jian, Gordon & Dian Yang) to do for a run out of camp; surprisingly he agreeded.

So geared with our running attire / equipement, i led the group out of camp run - from Keat Hong Camp to NTU and back. It was only about 6 to 7km,

We will enjoying the the distance towards NTU and on our way back - we are all on our individual pace; Dian Yang really a good runner! Gordon & Zi Jian - that day wasn't at their peak during the run but nevertheless they made it... Good Job :-)

Let's work hard towards the Sundownmarathon!

Sundown Marathon!

After so much consideration, thinking and talking to Zi Jian, he finally agreeded to run the sundown marathon with me. Partly is because that time we played PSP bomberman in bunk and he lost - the bet is to run a marathon with me if i win him.

This is he first time going for the marathon! I guess it who be a very meaningful race for him as well as for me - 1st night Marathon!

Finally both of us register online today!

My Race ID: SD-IND-M42-180108-2894
Zi Jian's Race ID: SD-IND-M42-180108-2896

This is the route that we would be running!
