Sick in camp

One fine Saturday, I was supposed to book out of OCS after we were dismissed, but I didn’t feel quite right. It was the afternoon then, and I decided I could do with an afternoon nap.

I fell into a deep slumber and when I woke up, it was already nighttime! I was running a fever and feeling very weak in general. However, I found the strength to gather my things and go down to the public phone to call my dad to pick me up.

Wonder what would have happened if I was too weak to get out of bed? There was no one else around in camp and I would probably have lay there bedridden until Sunday night when people start booking in again…

Are you ready to fly?

One of the nice things that my bunch of classmates used to do was that we would gather at the College of Physical Education (CPE to those in the know) and play basketball for the whole morning. After that intensive session, we would then adjourn to a nearby A&W’s, Macs or even the Ponderosa buffet to pig out.

BTW, the title of this blog entry is in reference to the title of the song I was listening to whenever I was on my way to the CPE.

10 ?”Hello world!”

I was 9 when I was introduced by Henry Teo to the world of computers. We went over to his place to play games on his monochrome Apple II PC, and from there, we proceeded to spend whole afternoons programming basic text games just for kicks.

I didn’t have a computer, so I had to write my code down on A4 papers and then type it all in when I was at his place…
