~If You Love Someone~
if you love some one because you think that he or she is really gorgeous...
then it's not love - it's "Infatuation" ...
if you love some one because you think that you shouldn't leave him because others think that you shouldn't...
then it's not love.. it's "Compromise"...
if you love some one because you think you cannot live with out his touch...
then it's not love.. it's "Lust"...
if you love some one because you have been kissed by him...
then it's not love.. it's "Inferiority Complex"...
if you love someone because you cannot leave him thinking that it would hurt his feelings...
then it's not love.. it's "Charity"...
if you love some one because you share every thing with him...
then it's not love.. it's "Friendship"...
but if you feel the pain of the other person more than him even when he is stable and you cry for him.. that's "LOVE"...
if you get attracted to other people but stay with him without any regrets...
that's "LOVE"...
if you let him go knowing that he has to go but he doesn't want to...
that's "LOVE"...

As for this year, the campkit list is roughly the same. Just some minor changes. I just hope that this year, I'll be in the same group as one of my squadmates and she or even them. I heard that there will be no kayaking this year. That's disappointing, kayaking was one of the many activities I enjoyed last year and I still have some faint memories of my kayaking experience last year. Not to mention the pitching of our tents. ^^

NPAP '08
It all started this year in January. We were told that the annual NPAP Parade is coming up in April and they needed 7 cadets to participate. So there were 4 Sec 3s and 3 Sec 2s. At first, I didn't want to go, but I just volunteered. Soon, trainings after trainings past. And my friendship with my fellow contingent mates grew. Then, it was the actual day, April 12th. It was also the day we parted. It was a day of emotions and the last day that everyone came together as Contingent 9. Me and my fellow squadmates and our juniors were shocked when we were given farewell cards on the way to HTA. I didn't expect that, much less my squadmates and juniors I suppose. Thats when it all started, those turn of events. It was rather interesting and I don't blame anyone. Overall, I did not regret participating in this parade. It was dam fun. I didn't expect that when I volunteered. I admit that I was alittle reluctant to go at first. But, my squadmates gave me the motivation. Well, I'll never know unless I try. I'm glad I did =) Two of my squadmates were in the Flag Contingent, I don't know if they have any pictures, sorry =( While one of my squadmate and 3 juniors were in Contingent 9. Here are the videos!

A friend is a treasure
A friend is someone we turn to,
when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure,
for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives,

MGS 4 came out 3 days ago. I think the storyline is perfect, much less the gameplay and sound effects. Its just the best game in the world. For now, its only available in PS3, I heard its because the gameplay takes too much space. If the game were to come out in XBOX 360, you would need quite alot of discs. I don't have a PS3, so I can't get the game >< But, I've played MGS 3 : Snake Eater before on PS2. For those of you who have a PS3, this game is a must buy, and I mean it, you definitely won't regret. Here is the official trailer.

Ok, about today. I find the parade was alittle screwed up. We didn't have enough time to practise properly. I mean the trainings were alittle disorganised because many of us didn't know the procedures. But, I think it was still acceptable, our mistakes weren't that obvious. After the parade, we had to clear up the NP room. All the mess left behind by the Sec 4s. Haha, I can understand why they mess the whole room up. Anyway, everything was confusing for us. We had to put back the rifles, drill canes and others and the individual squad PS took their squads for the first time. The next training is about 2 weeks away, we don't know what to expect and we have to learn everything by ourself. I just hope everything turns out find and that we won't be a disgrace to the unit. Most importantly, we must prove that we have what it takes to lead the unit and do better than the previous batch of cadet leaders. We have 1 year to do this, I just hope for the best and I believe we can do it.

Regarding another matter, I saw the news yesterday. Two national servicemen died in the midst of physical training. Omg, and now Mindef has suspended all physical training for three days. I think such trainings can be extremely exhausting >< Maybe its because the training was too tough or something. Condolences to the victims families. (:
Croatia won Germany 2-1 yesterday. It was quite a shock, I didn't expect Germany to lose. They were always the favourites in the Euro Cups. But this time they lost, I think they need to re-think their strategies and find out what went wrong. Okay, I need to prepare my uniform and other stuffs for the parade tomorrow. It will be from 9am to 6pm tomorrow. So yeah, long day. Need to ensure that my uniform is in tip-top condition. I mean we're taking over, our uniform has to look better than our juniors right? I also need to polish up my boots. Got afew cracks under the hot sun today, need to cover up by polishing. So, I'll be busy. This concludes my long post today >< Enjoy your weekends!

The Beijing Olympics are coming soon! It is currently 56 days, 2 hours, 4 minutes and 57 seconds until Friday, August 8, 2008.
Extract from Wikipedia
The 2008 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, will be celebrated from August 8, 2008, to August 24, 2008, with the opening ceremony beginning at 08:08:08 pm CST (12:08:08 UTC) at the Beijing National Stadium in Beijing, People's Republic of China.[a] Some events will be held outside Beijing, namely football (soccer) (in Qinhuangdao, Shanghai, Shenyang, and Tianjin), equestrian (in Hong Kong) and sailing (in Qingdao). This will be the third time the Olympics are held under the jurisdiction of 2 different NOCs (Hong Kong and mainland China compete separately).
The Olympic games were awarded to Beijing, People's Republic of China after an exhaustive ballot of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on July 13, 2001. The official logo of the games, titled "Dancing Beijing," features a stylized calligraphic character jīng (京, meaning capital), referencing the host city. The mascots of Beijing 2008 are the five Fuwa, each representing one color of the Olympic rings. The Olympic slogan, One World, One Dream, calls upon the world to unite in the Olympic spirit. Athletes will compete in 302 events in 28 sports, just one event more than was on the schedule of the Athens games of 2004. Several new National Olympic Committees (NOCs) have also been recognized by the IOC.
The Chinese government has promoted the games to highlight China's emergence on the world stage,amidst concerns about environmental issues and human rights violations, particularly in Tibet. There have also been growing concerns of major nations boycotting the Olympics in protest of China's actions in Tibet. Earlier in 2007, former IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch had said that he believes that the Beijing games will be "the best in Olympic history."
Here is a view of the stadium that is going to be used,
Extract from Wikipedia again ._.
The centerpiece of the 2008 Summer Olympics will be the Beijing National Stadium, nicknamed the "Bird nest" because of its nest-like skeletal structure. Construction of the venue began on December 24, 2003. The Guangdong Olympic Stadium was originally planned, constructed, and completed in 2001 for the Games, but a decision was made to construct a new stadium in Beijing. Government officials engaged architects worldwide in a design competition. A Swiss firm, Herzog & de Meuron Architekten AG, collaborated with China Architecture Design & Research Group to win the competition. The National stadium features a lattice-like concrete skeleton forming the stadium bowl and will have a seating capacity of 80,000 people. Architects originally described the overall design as resembling a Bird nest with an immense ocular—an opening with a retractable roof over the stadium. However, in 2004, the idea of retractable roof was abandoned for economic and safety reasons. The Beijing National Stadium will be the site of the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as the athletics events and soccer finals. The stadium's designer Ai Weiwei has since withdrawn his support for China's Olympic games, saying "he wants nothing to do with them anymore".
Although Im not much of an "Olympic Fan", I think that its gonna be worth watching the Beijing Olympics 2008. Its like once in a lifetime huh? To get to host the games. Beijing won the rights in back in July 13, 2001. They beat Toronto in Canada, Paris, Istanbul and Osaka by quite alot. Anyway, just remember to catch the upcoming Beijing Olympics on 8/8/08 !

Found this picture in one of my friend's friendster. I find it true, lol. Ok seriously, its somewhat true on majority of girls except some ^^ Just came back from training. Wasn't so bad as I expected. Practised for the parade, it was nothing special. Carrying the rifle and practising our marching, alittle screw ups >< but overall is fun! There's still another training next Friday and the actual parade is next Saturday. To my squadmates, we're finally taking over! Cheers!
