I can smell Chinese New Year!

It's coming!!!! Chinese New Year is coming!!!!! Wow, my final celebration of Chinese New Year before I ORD!!! I am so happy! :)

Even though CNY is drawing near, I still haven't buy my new year clothing as I simply have no time for shopping. Because right now, I am preparing myself for the Safari 8km run and also creating my own website which is AmpDreams.

This coming Sat I am going for a buffet session with my secondary school friends, well I am quiet excited since I have not meet some of them for nearly 6 years? LOL...

Well... You know what I am going to say... 144 days to ORD LO!

Hope everyone have a good and happy Chinese New Year!!!

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

I have moved!

Hi guys, I won't be writing on my old blog (james-gaara.blogspot.com) as I have created a new blog called AmpDreams.blogspot.com which is this website. Please do visit! Thanks :)

Currently, the Projects and News link are still under construction, it may take some time to work as I need to find place to upload my projects and application for news.... The rest of the links are already working, so feel free to browse around :)

First post in 2011

2011!!! The year that I am anticipating for. This year is the year I ORD for my national service and the start of my university life!

Less than 6 months more to go and I am really in high spirit to get to school life again. I understand that university life would be extremely hard compared to polytechnic. But I am ready for it, seriously.

I am going to start revising all my stuff that I learned in polytechnic and new stuff that had been out on the IT world ever since I was serving my NS. I know that these 2 years, many things changes, even programming language. If I didn't keep myself up-to-date for technology stuff, I will ended up losing to those fresh grads from polytechnics or students with strong IT background.

Let's hope that I can survive my remaining NS life and meanwhile using the time to revise for my work :)

Recently, I was hooked onto watching the amazing race! This reality show is one of the best together with the apprentice and survivor. I was amazing how the teams in the race can turned ugly to their own partners. It was really a WOW thing to me because mostly, but not all the couple teams all screwed up with each other by yelling and cursing at each other.

I think amazing race is a place where couple can really know each other well because both of them are under tough situation and stress out on the task given, thus they can truly show their real face to one another.

Well I am still watching the amazing race, and I hope the race will get better and better.

The teams that I really like are, BJ & Tyler from season 9 and the cowboy from season 16

It's ending soon!

Yeah it's ending soon, for 2010 and my like as an NSPI. In less than a month, we are going to step into 2011 and say goodbye to 2010. Personally, I felt that 2010 is been a fantastic year for me because I have seriously learn a lot. In the beginning of the year, I have attended a course called Outward Bound Singapore (OBS), which is held at Pulau Ubin. This course is to strengthen our leaderships skills through tough times we were being given.

A few months after the trip to OBS, we finally pass out as a NSPI (National Service Probationary Inspector), well still in probation until we have cleared our Operation Ready Date (ORD) Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) and shooting during December. Well I have cleared IPPT and now I have left with shooting, which is a good start for me.

I was posted to Ministry of Home Affairs, and start working as an NSPI and no longer a trainee in Home Team. Well time flies, 6 months have passed and 2010 is ending soon, which means I left 6 more months to ORD! But before that, I have a lot of things to get ready because I am going to National University of Singapore (NUS) after I ORD, thus I need to prepare myself especially my English Language, because that's my worse subject in my entire school life.

Lately, I was interested in taking SAT,because I felt that SAT is a way to brush up my English and also to give me a rough idea on how my standards were comparing with people in US or maybe all around the world. That's the first thing that I am going to do next year and also I will be redesigning my website to a better layout because I felt that this current design is not cool enough, I guess LOL.

Next thing I would do is to start my revision on programming, computer and such. That's because I can clearly say that I almost forgot every single thing that I have learned in the past. I hope the revision can really make me recall everything that I have learned, if not I would have a hard time in university.

Next thing to do is to create my first Facebook application or other application which draws my interest. I want to test my skills in programming, so making an application can really measure where I stand.

Last but not least, which is an option to complete it but I hope I have time for that, which is to get my driving license. Hope I can pass my Final Theory Test.... God Bless :)

Well that's quite a number of things to do for the next 6 months but hope I can clear all of them before I ORD!

Wish me Luck!
