Thank you all for all your sms messages. I really could not attend to all the messages as I've switched my phone for the cameraless one and I do not know why but the numbers appeared instead of your names. I hope that Enling and Weiling AND Emil that are always reading here can spread the word for me.
Thank you leonard I know you sms me alot. But I did not answer as I was too busy packing. Thank you for the verse dear friend.
Want to thank the person who sent me an sms with a prayer. I do not know who yet coz as I mentioned the numbers appeared instead of your names. So I apologise. But whoever gave me the prayer I really thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I will be missing my cell group and church for two weeks! Man, thats long. Thank you for all your support and messages of faith, I would like to request a prayer request from all of you. Help me be INSULATED from the army culture so that I can PENETRATE in my bunk mates life. Help me to be physically fit and to earn my first pull up as soon as possible. Also I ask for strong sense of faith.
Whether you are N119 or W280, we are still one big family. We'll meet again in two weeks time. Thats a PROMISE!

Army Journey Chapter 2: Enlistment ( Part 1)
Oh boy, enlistment day is nearing. On 11 December 2008, I officially enter into NS, Basic Military Training in School 2 @ Pulau Tekong. That's the island that I will be calling my second home, though its not really much of a home.
Worse thing was, its Wednesday today, and somehow I fell sick just last night, and today, thank God that my fever subsided this morning, thanks to my mom too. She came in and help take care of me...
Really after all that happened, suddenly, I felt sad. Next time, there will be no Mom to take care of me when I'm sick. Next time, no brother to joke with, no Dad to talk to, no cousins to spend time with, no cell group and church for two weeks which is a long time. Also no more freedom.
I had to do loads of packing today. I am the procrastinating type. So I am going out later to buy my stuff and do some present sending as well to my Japanese friend. First time I'm sending out a parcel by post. Hope I will do it right. Other than that, I still need to collect my laptop from IBM and also buy some powder and detergent powder and etc. etc. Haiz, Army life...

Popcorn Smasher: Q U A R A N T I N E
Oh - My - GOSH!
Love this type of movies where there are zombies involved. Whats more, its in my favorite, first person camera mode. Yes people this movie is like Cloverfield, the "jerky-camera" experience. But guess what! This movie the camera wasn't that jerky, probably because the character who is handling the camera is actually a camera man from the News. The story is plainly told to you. That something happens in this particular LA building, which was quarantine and the citizens were trapped inside. No one knows what really happen inside, there was no evidence, until NOW.
So you play as the camera man with your reporter a girl, forgot her name already. But you were suppose to do a coverage of a fire fighters life. You get to see a different side to the fire fighters which is somewhat amusing. Also the build up of the atmosphere was well done. From interviewing the fire-fighters to shadowing the fire fighters at work. They arrived at the building where someone called for them. It seems that an old lady locked herself in the room and she wailed and screamed. Then there was silence and the tenants were worried so they called in the authorities.
So shadowing the fire-men they break down the door to see the old lady standing at a corner looking totally frighten and lost. The policeman tried to calm her down and one of them try to get near her, that was when she bite him on the neck. Then there was utter confusion as the camera man tried to steady his camera. There was shouting like "GET THAT CAMERA OUT OF MY FACE!" and "OUTTA THE WAY!" as they drag the lady to the landing. They asked one of the fire -fighters to hold her down while they send the police man downstairs to get out. But somehow, someone locked them in. Even when they shouted that there was an injured man, they still do not let them in. So they seek help from the residents and one of them is a Vet. The vet tended to the police man while the other police man and the fire-fighter walked to the basement door.
Just then the body of the fire-fighter upstairs came flying down. That was simply scary. It was so suddden. To me if you do not want to experience anything don't watch this movie. Because being in First person is always about experiencing that person's shoes.
My ratings, Personally: 4/5 stars
Public: 3/5 stars
