Npcc annual parade 2010 and Singapore Youth Festival 2010 parades are coming! WHOOOOPEEEE!!

I'll be back when you call me; no need to say goodbye

I say a prayer.
A prayer for everything we've stood for.
A prayer for everyone we've ever loved.
A prayer for what will come.

I know how things will end up in the near future. It looks bleak. Everyone's scared now. But no wallowing in self pity.

Goals have been set and it shall be done.

My brother took the extra hose. money didnt go to waste! luckily.

I'll be back when you call me; no need to say goodbye

WEDNESDAY,

9pm-Mohamed Firdaus decided to start cleaning the tank and experienced difficulties which included a damn messy toilet and living room. 2230-2330- Mohamed Firdaus cycled round pasir ris and tampines to find a hose but found none.


TODAY (THURSDAY)


4pm- he went to buy the hose. FOR ALMOST 30 bucks, of which a portion was WASTED.
12am - he starts to clean the tank.
230am- his mom comes down, sees the hose and asked him why he bought one when there was ALREADY one in the store!
231am- he frantically searches the store and FINDS THE OLD HOSE!


Now he is at boiling point of 100000000000 degrees, kindly please cheer or calm him down before he does something violent after having wasted almost 30 bucks that could have been put to good use!


He currently looks like this




THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

THE FISH TANK IS GETTING ON MY NERVES

I bought a 20m hose today. inclusive of an extension of 6m. with my own money. almost 30 bucks!. tried out the main hose. connected it to the toilet tap and to the tank. WASTED 6.50 ON THE EXTENSION!

*Insert all the bad words and expletives in the world here!*

Wonder why such a small thing like the tank is making me boil? ITS BECAUSE OF THE OCCUPANTS IN IT! I pitied them so much EVERY SINGLE DAY to the extent that i dropped everything else just to do something about the tank. The suckerfish is annoying sia, its so hard to get hold of since its grown so much and is so slippery.

Anyway, its tank-cleaning time. *more abuse here!*

Ramadhan is over. Are the goals met? kinda.
If there's one thing I've learnt from it, it's treating every single day as a holy day.
Alhamdullilah. We've managed to experience Ramadhan this year and Insya-Allah we will see Ramadhan again next year.

Selamat Hari Raya to all!..To whoever reads this, my apologies for any misdeeds, unintended words or undoings that have caused you any harm in either way. This goes out to all my friends regardless whether you're muslim or not.

Anyway, after much consulting with peers,parents and relatives, here's what I've decided.

1) First, finish up poly education and attain the highest GPA that I can get so far and set my sights on SMU.

2) (During NS) Lets say I get posted to SAF. I'll see how life in BMT goes and see if i get drafted to sispec or OCS. If all goes well from there and I do get drafted in OCS, then I'll consider taking up a 4 year bond with tuiton fees paid for in the university. If I get drafted to SISPEC, I'll have to take into account the unit or division I'm posted to before taking up any grants.

3) In the case that I get posted to SPF, the 2 year HALO programme will be considered.

4) (Post NS life) It's a little tricky from here on. I've had a brief idea of life in SPF but havent seen SAF yet. I've figured out my life during NS but not after that. Oh well, another time to think about later on huh.

In the meantime, I'm gonna have to get my ass to work!

They say death is peaceful once you get over the initial shock.

Like knowing you're leaving this world and entering a better one. Perhaps for one nanosecond of my life, I may have felt that. Not literally of course because I felt it all in a dream.

All I remember was dragging some kids to some safe place but it wasnt big enough to accomodate other ppl including me and there was nowhere else to go.

I didnt panic.

Instead, I welcomed that embrace of death. The manner in which I was gonna die didnt matter because it felt as if EVERYTHING you've done in your life made sense and the whole jigsaw puzzle of your life is complete. You're free and devoid of all emotion. There's only this glorious sadness that surrounds you and brings great peace to your heart and soul.

Then there was only one thing left to do, ask for forgiveness from people. But there was only time to ask from one person..but he said I didnt have to.

It's strange that such a dream comes to me in the holy month of Ramadhan.
As for that one person, I'm beginning to think if it was just someone in disguise. Someone whose presence has been with me all along but just didnt know.

Perhaps...?

Well well,

I didnt expected this much trouble with my major project.
It seems marketing a product overseas isnt as easy unless you have ample knowledge of the country that you intend to market it.

But its a challenge!
A challenge that I'll probably face when starting up my own business soon.

Thankfully, there's new-found determination!
Time to get cracking!

What would have turned out to be a disastrous result turned out otherwise.
I got back my exam results today!

I passed ALL! WOOHOO!

MLS: D (THE KILLER ONE! THANK GOD I PASSED)

PROCOI: D+ (Thankful for this one as well!)

Managing Info: B (well well, I guess I mixed up somewhere along the way. But thanks to bernard for the project that I did well!)

MSA: B (well, this one turned out as expected. no complaints there)

Modsim: B+ (THIS ONE IS SURPRISING!. Didnt Mr Chan said we failed the project? or maybe he was joking. plus all the crazy graded lab and tests!..how the hell can get B+)

Entrepreneurship: A (Kinda expected. but I owe it all to Christina and Ting Hui for all their hard work that pulled the group up. Thank you so much! and its my first A in my exam!)

So a lesson learnt from the results. GPA was 2.698 but it was rounded up to 2.7. haha. still the same as last sem. I guess I got more than I deserved huh?

Thank you God!

Humpty dumpty had a great big fall.


Humpty dumpty was cleaning the fish tank in the toilet.
Humpty dumpty had to clean out the dirt from the pump.
Humpty dumpty did just that and refitted it back to living room tank.
Humpty dumpty walked back to the toilet and

THERE HE FELL!

Dammit, it happened so fast I didnt even realise it after I was lying on the floor. like it happened for a nanosecond.Phew. I couldnt breathe for a few seconds and im having trouble breathing NOW!. For goodness sake, I'm an old man and I cant afford any more broken bones!

All because of those goldfishes with their sad, pitiful faces! I actually sympathised with them after they were bobbing their mouths at me! #$%!@
At least they're friendly towards me.

I'll be back when you call me; no need to say goodbye

All you kind souls, please save me and take the survey for my major project!
Click Here to take survey

THANKS!

I'll be back when you call me; no need to say goodbye

MAJOR PROJECT BUSINESS PLAN TO BE DONE IN A WEEK!

Why?because of the YES grant scheme that requires the proposal beforehand!
Oh well, since its fasting month, cant say anything much other than #$%!?@^ (i.e bad words.hehe)

My heart sank the moment Mr Eu said that. Apart from doing the Visa on our own, it's gonna be a whole lot more stuff. But oh well, doesnt come easy eh?

On a brighter note, I've finally got my NYAA booklet and record. The first step would be the adventurous journey. 4 days 3 nights camp at ubin. I hope we dont go to camp resilience!.. I want to sleep in the jungle!

I'll be back when you call me; no need to say goodbye

CIK ILIEE RETURNS TO KEDAH!. HOHO!.
Best of luck there eh!..Enjoy yourself and you'll be fine =)
(OSIP is like NS in a different context!)

I've come to terms with one thing.
I'm balding!
See the photo on Raidah's blog!

Anyway, its been quite some time since I met Md. The iftar on Saturday was a good one together with aunty. Despite busy schedules and whatnots, there's always the saying that humans should always MAKE time. A secret to be shared? neh. not just yet.

Thanks for keeping in contact!..its gonna get a whole lot more busy from now on!

Moving on,
Ramadhan. This month's goals? Just two.
Learn how to balance the cycle of life together with a life on a higher plane of existence. Yup. you saw it correctly. A HIGHER plane of existence!

A friend once asked: "Whats the point of it all? fighting so hard and then it all goes down for nothing" My answer was "I forsee a moment in my life that will be defined by everything I've fought for"

Never been more scared in my entire life when I said that. Sometimes a man's fate shouldnt be sealed so easily by his words. The same goes for mine.

I'll be back when you call me; no need to say goodbye

So now I'm back to square one.

Where does my future lie?

Lets start with current events.

1) GPA 2.7 and I'm not sure if I can reach GPA 3 when I graduate. NTU accepts at least GPA 3 depending on the individual. And for sure, my gpa is gonna drop this sem. So I guess university is highly unlikely.

2) Govt job sector. Of all the three vocations, the army is top of my list but I have to be careful of where I get posted and which unit. I'm not gonna end up as a medic!. Furthermore, there's still the issue of malays/muslims being posted to key units within the army and being entrusted with different appointments. Nonetheless, we all know Brigadier-General Ishak made it there and there's a small number of malays I know who are officers like my brother. So if others before have done it..why not? I wont rule out SPF provided I get a higher qualifications later on in life.

3) Private sector. Job market is still pretty bad in my opinion albeit rising. So I'm gonna have to be a little more careful there. Unlike govt jobs, there's retrenchment involved but its inevitable right?

Looks like im going to have to explore the feasibility of each idea but my heart tells me about the army and I've always believed it within myself that the highest order of life is to serve. The oustanding question is to what point and purpose?

On a less serious note, someone suggested I become a counsellor! And then suddenly it feels like THAT is what im meant to do!

What do all of YOU think?

--------
Let me share a hadith with all of you and I hope its meaning will bring some measure of understand or have a positive impact one way or another. Insya-Allah.

Prepare for life as if to live forever
Prepare for afterlife as if dying tomorrow

I'll be back when you call me; no need to say goodbye

I dont get my classmates. It's fine to finish a project asap but if they're not going to make the MOST out of it..why bother? Some of them already WANT to start on the Major project not because of the time it takes but they just wanna get it over and done with.

The best part is.. what's there to discuss about?

I'll be back when you call me; no need to say goodbye

I've never laughed so hard before in my life!

I'll be back when you call me; no need to say goodbye

Self respect
Self discipline
Self consciousness


Probably one of the FEW things that one can attribute to self-ishness.

I'll be back when you call me; no need to say goodbye

Instead of wasting my ass away at home,

I decided to make myself a little more useful by cleaning up my room. To be frank, it's clean enough but im sure most of you here wont believe me and for good reason!. haha. For a brief moment of madness, I thought I found woodlice in my outdoor training handbook. NOT ONE BUT TWO!. But upon a closer look, they were just silverfish. heh.

Woodlice. The most favourite thing to chase for by the guys in my primary school days. Weird huh? Of all the things we chase, WOODLICE!..but boys will always be boys. Funny though that a creature brings back nostalgia.

Anyway, I came across pictures in the handbook about structures. Those structures reminded me of war machines!. I searched em up on youtube and found my most favourite one of all...THE BALLISTA!

Off to build one now. Rather complex but interesting. The trebuchet,onager and floating arm trebuchet catapults are kinda intriguing also. haha.

What can I say? Its all engineering!

I'll be back when you call me; no need to say goodbye

If we were all the kings and queens
I'd probably be your only servant in this world
