If You Are Tea

As of 270311

2011-03-27T08:26:00.002+08:00

Since I was young, I have been fascinated with technology and how things work. My parents bought those build-it-yourself toys for me to build and tear them apart countless times. Soon I started building objects from my imagination.

As technology soon became more advanced, I managed to get my hands onto gadgets. Seeing how they worked made me want to create some of them. And so I started a journey to learn the various programming languages while experimenting at home.

After my O Levels, I finally had the opportunity to study it in a structured approach with experienced mentors. In Temasek Polytechnic, I studied Computer Engineering where I was able to explore both hardware and software aspects of gadgets. For my Final Year Project in 2009, I chose to specialize in software development with two other friends. Together, we completed a project entitled Vision-based Object Detection which won a commendation award presented at the Engineering Show 2010.

Currently, I am an Officer Cadet training in the Signals Vocation which keeps me exposed to technology and its applications. I have seen how technology has helped military personal stay connected from using ancient lines to new and advanced wireless communication. Seeing and understanding how the military has integrated this into their operations has got me to think of how I can improve the reliability the communications in the Battlefield to enhance Command and Control.

Apart from this, I am also taught how to lead others. When I commission in July 2011, I will be in charge of 37 men; taking care of their welfare and fitness. To do this, I have learnt to take care of myself first before taking care of others as I believe the best leadership is by example. This has also provided me the opportunity to experience different leadership styles and their effectiveness such that I can keep the good points and ignore the bad points.

Officer Cadet School Service Term Reflection

2011-01-15T17:56:00.002+08:00

Coming to Office Cadet School (OCS) has taught me a lot about myself. On the first day, I was rather afraid of what I will be in for. I definitely had doubts about myself if I had the capability to be commissioned; the physical and mental strength. But after completing Service Term, I realised that OCS is another learning place if you are willing to discover. Everybody starts on the same platform of knowledge. Depending on their initiative and learning capability, each would be able to learn the skills and values an officer should have. Personally, I have learnt that life is a rollercoaster ride where every second is a learning experience.

The SAF Core Values have always been a blur to me till I came to OCS. Before, it was just words being recited during water parades. It did not mean anything to me. However, during my stay in Service Term, I have learnt much from my experiences and instructors about these values.

Loyalty to country can do wonders to a person. To me, it is protecting what is important and your loved ones. During training, I have found lots of motivation whenever I think of them. Leadership is about knowing yourself and your team well so that you can command and control to get things done. During Service Term, my appointments gave me the chance to learn more about myself and explore different styles. Self-discipline is more important than forced discipline. That was what I learnt from my APC so that you give the person a self-purpose and self-motivation to complete their tasks.

Professionalism is about always doing your best even when no one is watching. Fighting Spirit is a very important value to have as life is not easy. Problems come often and fighting spirit is needed to be able to overcome them. Ethics has been much focused in OCS in terms of integrity whereby we had to take responsibility for our actions even if it meant being reprimanded. And last but not least, care for soldiers everyone loves. As an officer, we need to know how to balance physical, mental and emotional support for your subordinates.

With all these learning points along the way in OCS, I have better understood the purpose of National Service (NS). From the outside, Singapore seems to be very well protected and peaceful. But that is what most people take for granted. Singapore would not be the way it is if not for its defence and system. NS has taught me that every citizen should do their part to protect Singapore. I decided to do my part as an officer leading others and hopefully inspiring others I meet.

The Tetrahedron...

2010-10-24T14:06:00.000+08:00

What I have learnt about myself?

The tetrahedron has thought me things about myself. Whenever people asked me to introduce myself, I was usually lost for words when describing my character and personality. Now, I am able to describe myself better with proper words.

Based on instinct, I am of water nature. Calm, caring and consistent. I am quite patient and can give a listening ear if you ever need one. I am also rather ethical, considering other people's feelings and well-being before making a decision. Sometimes I even forget about myself.

What I have learnt about the other elements?

Apart from water, there are fire, air and earth as the other natures. I learnt that I can be more than one element and other people have their own primary and secondary element. So to work better as a team, I need to understand the other elements.

Earth people are steadfast, brave and tough. They are confident in the things they do. They like to take prompt though risky decisions to achieve their goal or achievement.

Air people are clear-headed, systematic and focused. They think things out properly before finding a suitable logical solution. They like accuracy and quality.

Fire people are bright, optimistic and adventurous. They are full of energy, colourful and love to have fun. They are the ones who inspire other to see the better side of life.

MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY

2010-10-18T07:18:00.001+08:00

A) NRIC NO. RANK/NAME

S9044131J. OCT FRANCISCO CAETANO DOS REMEDIOS FURTADO.

B) FAMILY BACKGROUND

I COME FROM A RATHER BIG FAMILY OF EIGHT. THERE ARE MY PARENTS, TWO OLDER SISTERS, TWO YOUNGER SISTERS AND ONE YOUNGER BROTHER. BEING FROM SUCH A BIG FAMILY HAS HELPED ME UNDERSTAND THAT EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT EVEN IF THEY COME FROM THEY SAME BACKGROUND.

AS THE SAYING GOES 'OPPOSITES ATTRACT', MY PARENTS ARE ONE SUCH COUPLE. FOR EXAMPLE, MY FATHER IS A GOANESE (INDIAN WITH PORTUGESE INFLUENCE) AND INTELLECTUAL PERSON WHILE MY MOTHER IS PURE CHINESE AND TECHNICAL PERSON. THOUGH THEY HAVE MANY DIFFERENCES, THEY COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER. OVER MY TWENTY YEARS UNDER THEIR CARE, I HAVE LEARNT MANY LIFE SKILLS FROM THEM.

MY ELDEST SISTER, PEDRINHA, IS ADVENTUROUS AND CARING PERSON. BEING THE ONLY ONE WORKING IN THE FAMILY, SHE PROVIDES EXTRA FOR THE FAMILY. SHE OCCASIONALLY BRINGS US OUT FOR LUNCH/DINNER TREATS OR BUYS BACK TREATS.

MY ELDER SISTER, MAGDALENA, IS THE SMART ONE. SHE HAS A DEGREE IN ACCOUNTING AND IS WAITING FOR HER NIE COURSE TO START. SHE PROVES THAT HARD WORK DOES PAY OFF.

MY YOUNGER SISTER, MARIETA, BRINGS HUMOUR INTO THE FAMILY. WHENEVER THERE IS A FIGHT OR QUARREL, SHE IS USUALLY THE ONE TO CRACK A JOKE TO BREAK THE TENSION.

MY YOUNGEST SISTER, CARMELINA, IS RATHER SPECIAL. SHE WAS BORN WITH DOWN SYNDROME BUT HAS BEEN A BLESSING TO OUR FAMILY. HAVING SPECIAL NEEDS, SHE HAS GIVEN OUR FAMILY A SENSE OF SERVICE, TO ALWAYS HELP THOSE IN NEED. BY BEING HERSELF, SHE HAS CONTRIBUTED A LOT TO OUR FAMILY'S BONDING.

MY YOUNGER BROTHER, JOACHIM, IS A RATHER PLAYFUL PERSON. BEING A TYPICAL TEEN, HE IS ADVENTUROUS AND OFTEN TRIES TO FIND THE MORE EXCITING PATH. BUT OF COURSE, HE LEARNS FROM HIS MISTAKES.

AS FOR MY RELATIVES, THEY ARE ALL AROUND THE WORLD. MY MOTHER'S SIDE RESIDE IN SINGAPORE WHILE MY FATHER'S SIDE RESIDE IN AUSTRALIA, ENGLAND AND INDIA. COMING FROM A BIG FAMILY, IT IS HARD FOR US TO FIND A SIMILAR TIME WHERE ALL OF US ARE AVAILABLE TO GO ON HOLIDAY. THUS, MY RELATIVES ARE USUALLY THE ONES COMING FOR VISITS, EITHER AS A PIT STOP DURING THEIR HOLIDAYS OR FOR BUSINESS TRIPS.

C) EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

I ATTENDED MY SECONDARY SCHOOL EDUCATION AT SAINT PATRICK'S SCHOOL AT EAST COAST ROAD. I HAVE BUILT MOST OF MY CHARACTER IN THERE AS IT IS A MISSION SCHOOL AND THEIR PRIORITY IS CHARACTER BUILDING. HAVING TIME ON MY HANDS, I WAS AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THREE CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES(CCA). I WAS A MEMBER OF AIR-RIFLE CLUB, ST JOHN'S AMBULANCE BRIGADE AND LEGION OF MARY. IN AIR-RIFLE, I WAS PART OF THE SCHOOL TEAM WHERE COMMITMENT WAS IMPORTANT AS TRAININGS WERE FOUR TIMES A WEEK. IN ST JOHN'S AMBULANCE BRIGADE, I LEARNT DISCIPLINE AND ADVANCED FIRST AID. LEGION OF MARY WAS MY SPIRITUAL GUIDE. IT WAS HERE THAT I LEARNT TO KEEP STILL AND REFLECT ON MY DAY AND ACTIONS. HAVING THESE CCAS HAS HELPED ME PRACTICE MY TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS AND THE IMPORTANCE TO HAVE A BALANCE IN LIFE. I GRADUATED WITH EIGHT O LEVEL PASSES GETTING TWENTY POINTS IN L1R5.

AFTER SECONDARY EDUCATION, I WENT ON TO CONTINUE MY EDUCATION AT TEMASEK POLYTECHNIC. HERE I STUDIED COMPUTER ENGINEERING AND JOINED TWO CCAS, NAMELY ADVENTURE CLUB AND JAPANESE CULTURAL GROUP(JCG). AFTER A FEW MONTHS, I BECAME INCLINED TO JCG AND SOON BECAME THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE CLUB IN MY FINAL YEAR. THIS WAS A TOUGH YET CHALLENGING OPPORTUNITY FOR ME AS I HAD TO BALANCE WORKING DURING MY INTERNSHIP AND FINAL YEAR PROJECT WHILE MANAGING A CLUB. I WAS ABLE TO PUT TO PRACTICE MY STRESS MANAGEMENT SKILLS AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS. OVERALL, I BELIEVE I DID A GOOD JOB AS I GRADUATED WITH A DIPLOMA WITH MERIT AT THE END OF MY THREE YEARS.

D) POST-SCHOOL DAYS AND PRIOR TO NSF ENLISTMENT

AFTER GRADUATION, I ENJOYED THE NEXT MONTH WITH MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY CELEBRATING AFTER STUDYING FOR SUCH A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. I WENT ON SHORT OVERSEAS TRIPS, WATCHED MOVIES AND PLAYED GAMES. BASICALLY, WE JUST HAD FUN.

SLOWLY AS THE FIRE DIED DOWN, I STARTED LOOKING FOR PART-TIME JOBS. IT WASN'T EASY LOOKING FOR ONE. BUT AFTER A MONTH, I MANAGED TO GET HIRED. I WORKED IN TEMASEK POLYTECHNIC FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT AS AN ADMIN ASSISTANT. HERE I LEARNT ABOUT SYSTEMS AND HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS TO FILL UP FORMS PROPERLY ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT DEAL WITH MONEY.

E) GENERAL

DURING MY FREE OR EXTRA TIME, I LIKE SPENDING IT WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. TO ME, THE COMPANIONSHIP IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE ACTIVITY. WITH MY FAMILY, MY LEISURE ACTIVITIES CAN RANGE FROM A SIMPLE HOME COOKED FAMILY MEAL TO A FANCY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AT A RESTAURANT. WITH MY FRIENDS, MY ACTIVITIES RANGE FROM WATCHING MOVIES TO TRYING OUT NEW UNUSUAL RESTAURANTS TO JUST HANGING OUT AND HAVE A NICE CATCH UP SESSION. WHEN MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE UNAVAILABLE, I LOVE SPENDING TIME IN MY OWN WORLD. I OFTEN WATCH FAMOUS TV SHOWS LIKE 'SUPERNATURAL', 'HOUSE' AND 'HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER' AND GET SUCKED INTO THEIR WORLD. IT'S A NICE WAY TO TAKE A BREAK FROM REALITY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

F) FINANCIAL STATUS

THE NSF ALLOWANCE IS ENOUGH FOR ME. AS I HAD UNDERGONE PHYSICAL TRAINING PHRASE (PTP) IN THE ARMY, I LOST QUITE SOME WEIGHT AND SLIMMED DOWN. THUS, I COULDN'T WEAR MOST OF MY CLOTHES. SINCE THE FIRST MONTHS ALLOWANCE, I'VE BEEN GOING SHOPPING WITH MY CLOSE FRIENDS BUYING REPLACEMENT ITEMS SUCH AS SHIRTS, SHOES AND BAGS. I DON'T USUALLY GO SHOPPING BUT SINCE IT WAS A NECESSITY, I ALWAYS BRING ALONG MY EXPERTS. ALSO, MY FATHER HAS TAUGHT ME TO SAVE TEN PERCENT OF WHATEVER I EARN. SO I NEVER SPEND MORE THAN WHAT I HAVE.

OVERALL, MY FAMILY IS QUITE STABLE FINANCIALLY. MY FATHER HAS PUT IN A LOT OF EFFORT TO SAVE AND SPREAD OUT HIS SAVINGS FOR US. EVER SINCE HE HAS RETIRED, MY FAMILY HAVE BEEN LIVING OFF HIS SAVINGS LITERALLY AND I DO INTEND TO HELP LESSEN HIS EXPENDITURE.

G) VIEWS/OPINIONS

IN MY OPINION, I THINK THE SINGAPORE ARMED FORCES(SAF) IS A RATHER GENEROUS AND CARING ORGANISATION. IT IS JUST LIKE ANY ORDINARY ORGANISATION WITH IT'S DEPARTMENTS AND POSITIONS. THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IS THAT IT IS MILITARY AND HAS ADDITIONAL SET OF LAWS TO FOLLOW.

NATIONAL SERVICE IS BOTH A GOOD AND BAD THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME. OF COURSE THE BAD SIDE IS THE TOUGH TRAINING AND RESTRICTION OF FREEDOM COMPARED TO A CIVILIAN. THE GOOD SIDE IS THAT YOU GET TO EXPERIENCE MANY THINGS NOT ORDINARY PEOPLE CAN DO LIKE SHOOTING A REAL RIFLE OR THROWING A GRENADE.

RELIGION IS OFTEN AN SENSITIVE ISSUE AMONG MANY PEOPLE. TO ME, IT IS RATHER IMPORTANT AS IT DEFINES YOU AS A PERSON AND HELPS YOU MAKE THE IMPORTANT LIFE DECISIONS. OF COURSE, YOU NEED TO KNOW AND BE INTERESTED IN YOUR RELIGION. MANY TIMES, IT HAS GIVEN ME A SENSE OF PURPOSE IN LIFE AND LIFTED MY BURDENS. IN A SENSE, IT HAS BROUGHT ME BACK TO LIFE WHENEVER I WAS AT MY LOWEST. BEING A CATHOLIC HAS ALSO HELPED ME ACCEPT OTHERS AND THEIR OWN RELIGION.

H) FUTURE PLANS

AFTER I FINISH SERVING MY NATIONAL SERVICE, I INTEND TO CONTINUE MY EDUCATION IN UNIVERSITY. I CURRENTLY HAVE A RESERVED PLACE IN NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY(NTU) FOR A DOUBLE DEGREE IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND BUSINESS.

MY DEFINING MOMENT IN BMTC

2010-10-18T07:17:00.002+08:00

My defining moment was on 29th July 2010 when Falcon Platoon 2 was split and rearranged to Dragon Company. When we heard the news, all of us were distraught. Being together through thick and thin for two months, we couldn’t believe we had to be separated.

Why us? Just when we were getting really bonded and had such awesome team spirit.

In the morning, we embarked on our last route march together. We stayed compact and sang our hearts out all the way for 4km. I had never seen such cohesion and connection among us. I could say it was the best route march I have had even till now.

After the route march, we had a gathering in the common area. This was where our attitude really mattered and the strong had to support and inspire the weak. Many of us went up to give our two-cents worth of feelings and encouragement. Our commanders also came to give us encouragement and inspired us to do our best. Within minutes, many of us were reduced to tears.

For me, it was like breaking up with my girlfriend and enlisting again. I could feel my heart heavy and tears forming. As one by one went up, I felt stronger and inspired. This was not the end. The brothers and friends I have made over the past two months are not gone. They will always be by my side. Wherever we are, we will always look out for each other.

It didn’t matter where or by whom we were trained. As long as we give our best, the results will show for themselves.

Now, after one month in Dragon, I feel blessed to have got to know more recruits and trained under different commanders. It helped me understand why I serve National Service. We are soldiers of Singapore. Not Falcon. Not Dragon.

Funny Terrorist Names
Here is a funny bit that was done on Saturday Night Live. They act like the department of homeland security and read off a long list of terrorist names.

2009-09-09T20:17:00.002+08:00

Wow alot has happened in the last five days of not blogging...

Let's see... What happened on Friday...
Oh ya. I realised most of the past work done on my MP report was for nothing. Format and content CMI...
Haizzz. So had to redo everything. Then at 4pm went to the main lab and did some filming for TP advertisement. Maybe i'll appear during next year's ads.

Okay. On to Saturday... Ahhh big event: eDYD. One loooong full day at church. Second longest I've spent in church I think. Wonderful stuff. Hope the teens experienced something. pics up on FB. oh and stef, val, eunice and I became the powerpoint clickers. and people should really learn how to make good ppts.

Sunday sunday... oh yeah! SHOKUDO!! It's the Japanese version of marché! Went there to celebrate Darryl's birthday. Should go there more often and try all their food when I'm more loaded. Ate this huge burger which couldnt even fit in my big mouth. This is proof that I dont have a big mouth =)

Monday Tuesday was spent finishing my damned MP Report. 2102 words. Then went Timbre for the first time for second celebration for Darryl with three people -: Nana, Oli and Mark. They have awesome German sausages and the bands can really play. I loved their Nobody rendition. haha.

oh btw in case you peeps dont know about Chocoloate Salty Balls, go watch the video below. It's enlighten you.

The Word.... Furt

2009-09-03T17:58:00.001+08:00

This post is written cos Karen sent me a display pic for msn which said "Furt: Defekt". Being the curious self, I decided to search and I realised that the word 'furt' has many meanings.

Thus, I shall document the meaning of my nickname of Furt. Enjoy reading.

The German word for ford.
The Latin word for theft.
The Spanish word for hole and corner.
The French word for stealthy.
A fart that hurts. This is usually the result of chapped asshole, extraordinary flatulence, or other common ass problems.
"The other night I ate so much beans and cabbage that I got furts and had trouble sitting down."
A word shrouded in mystery. Due to its connotation in the terrible yet awesome rap battle between two caucasian males in middle school, its meaning is undetermined. It may or may not be an insult. Furt's ability to be an insult is dampened by the fact that a majority of people do not comprehend the word.
"You have a {bowl; bull} on your shirt, you look like a... furt from a cartoon. A coon. And it {runes; ruins} like prunes. Animal boom. Kala.. You live in Kalamazoo, you FOO!"
Being ass-raped so much that it hurts.
"I can't sit down because of the furt."
It encapsulates all of the disgustingly negative qualities that a person can possess.
"That guy looks like a Furt.."
Combination of fine and hurt. Meaning: that's fine, but it hurts; a feeling of ambivalence.
"You got a promotion instead of me? That kind of furts."
FURT is the electronic composition/performance duo formed by Richard Barrett and Paul Obermayer in London in 1986.

Hmm... seems like my nick is generally negative. Lol. I personally like No. 6.

Sucks to be sick

2009-09-02T23:19:00.007+08:00

AHHHHHHHHH CHOOOOOOOO! Been having the damned flu since morning. I swear my nose is red and getting rashes. Sneeze too much.

Anyway. Been doing lots of work today for the past two days. bloody major project report. Don't even know what they want. One say this way, another say that way. First time stayed in school till 8.30 today purely to do work. Haizzz... Then there's posters and flyers to design. anyone care to help?

oh btw. The Proposal is AWESOME! One of the BEST movies ever! Great humour and character development. Wonderful really. Definitely worth re-watching.

oh and the next movie I feel like watching when I'm in a sadistic and sick mood will be "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto Red Band. Trailer is below. But I doubt it'll come out in Singapore. Too many things to censor. Enjoy =D

Currently Listening - I Gotta Feeling!

This is sth Val sent me. Quite fascinating. Enjoy.

hhaha pro dog right? okay anyway... last 2 days has been good =D

Sat: Supposed to go watch BandSlam with Pink Familia at The Cathay but so many couldnt make it. So was only Daniel, Pauline, Ariel, Shaun and me. I would say BandSlam was alright. Not bad. Not awesome. Oh but there's sth i learnt! How to kiss a girl... Guys listen. This is PURELY for educational purposes only.

First, you start by GENTLY moving a single strand of hair from her face. Then, slowly start caressing her cheek. Now, you move your hand to the back of her neck. Then lean in. Slight part of the lips. And kiss. TADA! I teach you tongue another time ;) lol okay go watch the movie already....

After that, we went Karen's house to accompany her. Then her mom was in a good mood so allowed her to go Ariel's house with her. See Karen. It's all in your head. Okay so went to Ariel's JFS House for dinner, 1 epi of HIMYM (hoe tag), parts of random movies and swimming (i watched, fail at swimming).

As for Sunday... Supposed to have breakfast with everyone but on Sa was early. Rest were UBER late. Then cat class on History of the Church in Singapore by Jeremy, mass and lunch at Macs. Talked nonsense from Macs to Borders till everyone had to leave.

Then went to DBG to meet OliOli! She and her arcades... I swear she's pro. The game came out yesterday and she's already SSing songs... FYI, SS is the second highest rank you can get for a song.

Now for the futureee... Poly's should really have teacher's day celebration. So unfair to us poly students. Still got internship lo. 9am to 5.30pm. Super long. But i guess it has its upside... Get to watch movies...

Okay i think i shall go now. Tonight's gonna be a good night! i think.

Pax Vobiscum!

Awesome show. They have all the different types of characters. IMBA-ness, carefree, smart, witty, goofy, romance, etc. Watch it to find out. Lazy to type them all out... Just too good.

In other news...

THE iPHONE BLOWS!

haha. It's latest feature - a self-defense mechanism when people type certain words. Be careful what you type ppl!!

haha okay seriously... On Monday, a second iPhone exploded while a security guard was SMSing in France. Sad man. So much money wasted... I wonder what he was typing and to whom.

hmm... wow took me 30mins to type this post out. dammit. need to start typing and thinking faster.

okay time to clock out and go home for nice dinner with my aunt from melbourne (i think). She's staying for one night in my room. gonna sleep on the sofa tonight.

YAWN~...

After 18 years, 8 months, 25 days and 15 hours, I have decided to create this blog. SIP is getting abit boring so this shall be my entertainment till Sept 11. Alot of things happening that day. =D

Just finished my weekly meeting with my SIP Supervisor. Reviewed my SIP Report Draft 1 now back to Land of Boredom.

My friends are watching Passion of Christ... Dont ask why. He's feeling religious now...

Anyway... I shall go find some blogskin to make this place better and add a tagboard.

Tchau!
