Life in Battalion is getting more and more awesome!
Less mind fuck, less punishment and more fun!!!
(Though there's still a downside of more extras given out and xiong-er PT. HAHA)
It's such a nice feeling to know that your commanders have positive impression of you and give you advantages that not every one enjoys.
But at the same time, pressure is pilling up. Especially so when you know you don't want them to feel disappointed, yet at the same time cannot be too garang to prevent displeasure among your mates. It's just impossible, I realised.
But things are good back in bunk;
relationships between fellow bunkmates are improving as we understands each other better (other than some inconsolable cases), and the bonds are growing strong!
I've really enjoyed life in the past few weeks, no matter how maggoty it seems to others. And I'm anticipating things to be greater and crazier!
Good days ahead. =]=]
Especially when you know that the next few weeks will be shorter (5- then 4-day weeks ahead!). XD

42 more days to Brunei;
75 more days to Red Beret!!!

28th August
So important it was,
so empty now.
It's just another day.
First time after 7 years running,
I'm here without you now.
So empty.
Happy Birthday.

Not a bad weekend at all
Yesterday after booking out went down to AMK hub to meet BP and Kangster to catch up.
BP broke up with KH, but not really surprising.
Then he went to meet his friend while Kang and I went to Beach road to get some army stuff. Kino at Bugis Junction next where Sambang joined us briefly before the two of them head off for Expandable with Alex and Junyang.
Left me alone there for more than an hour cause CB decided to come late, which ended up damn early cause the girls changed the timing. After that HW reached and the 3 of us slacked at Marble Slab for DAMN long. Girls late as usual. -.-
Dinner was at some Jap restaurant for buffet to celebrate Lydia's birthday!
It's been a relatively long time since we last met the girls.
And seems like our life's gonna drift quite a bit now that their school has started or starting soon.
But then I guess we'll still have our occasional meeting on Saturday, right?
Ha, okay, not like they'll come here.
Missed another week to movie with Calene once again. Sorry!
Haha. Wait for my Friday book out la! Lol.
Today was rather dull.
Went down to Sim Lim Square with bro to get his gf's laptop fixed.
Mum's been bugging me if bro's got a new gf, and I'm not supposed to tell the truth.
Haiz. It sucks.
Nvm, wish him luck...
And now!
It's dinner time before I head for my "Home" once again.
Now this place in Hougang feels more like a hotel than my Home,
but I definitely look forward to come back here.
NS taught me a lot of things,
and the most important one is to understand the importance of my real home.
I love it, hell lot.
And I'm not ready to leave it any time soon;
Not when my parents are always waiting for my return.

Hi girl, again.
So once again,
at the same location,
she appear right in front of my eyes.
And no matter how much I wanna say,
all that I could manage was a "hi".

Corporal
"Tey, What is your rank?"
"Corporal, sir."
"Oh, how come you didn't get into CSLC?"
"(Cock-and-bull explanation)"
"Oh, wasted..."
"Yes, sir. (stunned)"
--
That should be enough a reason for me to fight on and stay strong.
I'll definitely get my red beret!

4 no more...
Tomorrow will officially mark the fourth week of my battalion life.
Life there for the week that's just past was awesome, cause it's finally not that tiring.
So far so good! =]
But this coming week won't be that easy though.
Good luck to me...
--
Anyway.
Now my four-some luck is gone...
I was from platoon 4, det 4 in BMT
Then I got into platoon 4 section 4 in NSC
Then during BAC, I was in Stick 4
And then I got news that I'll be in 4th Coy.
Just when I hope I'll get into det 4 once again.
I ended up in det 2...
...
Ha. And all the '4's usually end up with the good and lenient instructors!
Hopefully the trend changes. =]=]
(and only Kelman gets the '4' streak. Lucky him...)
P.S: Det 2 now is definitely more fun than det 4! HAHA

说了再见
天亮了 雨下了 你走了
清楚了 我爱的 遗失了
落叶飘在湖面上睡著了
想要放 放不掉 泪在飘
你看看 你看看 看不到
我假装过去不重要 却发现自己办不到
说了再见 才发现再也见不到
我不能就这样失去你的微笑
口红待在桌脚 而你我找不到
若角色对调你说好不好
说了再见 才发现再也见不到
能不能就这样忍著痛泪不掉
说好陪我到老 又狠往哪里走
再次拥抱一分一秒都好
天亮了 雨下了 你走了
清楚了 我爱的 遗失了
落叶飘在湖面上睡著了
想要放 放不掉 泪在飘
你看看 你看看 看不到
我假装过去不重要 却发现自己办不到
说了再见 才发现再也见不到
我不能就这样失去你的微笑
口红待在桌脚 而你我找不到
若角色对调你说好不好
你的笑 你的好 脑海里 一直在绕
我的手 忘不了 你手的温度
心碎了一地 捡不回从前的心跳 伤心过去我无力逃跑
说再见 才发现再也见不到
能不能就这样忍著痛泪不掉
说好陪我到老 又狠往哪里走
再次拥抱一分一秒都好

Maggots
That's what I am now.
Oh no. I'm an AIRBORNE Maggot. LOL.
According to my OC, it's a lot better than what he was;
Rubbish.
At least we are some life form.
And yes, we were given ONE privilege back for our performance for ATP.
Crossing the grass patch. =]
How great! Cheers!!! -.- .
"Gentlemen!
Oh no, my fault my fault.
Sorry Commandos.
Never mind.
Drop drop drop drop drop..."
Ha, anyway, got my marksmanship!
(after going through dome re-shoots and few days of shagness)
That equates to some monetary incentives. =]=]
--
Booked out last morning,
first thing I do when I reach home is to change to go out with my parents which I weren't planned to participate.
And it was fun! Snow city. =]
Haha. Last time I saw snow was around 10 years ago man.
Though the one yesterday was only synthetic. lol.
Then it's the much anticipated birthday dinner for my dad's 60th.
Most of the relatives attended, and it ended around 9 plus.
Went home to get my even more anticipated sleep after. =]=]
Eye bags are still incredibly large now. -.-
--
Ha. This morning was breakfast with SC7 to celebrate Ceri's belated birthday,
and for the first time, it's full attendence!
A lot to say and a lot to catch up,
mostly because we're all on separate paths in our lives now that college days are over, and partly because we haven't contacted each other for quite a while.
So it was good.
But the Milo was bad.
Now I can't eat.
And Zac's posing skills are bad.
10 same emotionless face. -.-
LOL!
--
Last week was (double) celebration for Huiwen's birthday!
Fri (last Fri book out before long) was a Clark Quay night but we didn't head for the clubs.
Just had a drink and chilled out. Too lazy for home, stayed over at Mac's.
Then Sat night was Vivo, WhiteDog cafe, definitely worth my return.
Then it's the usual birthday cake and sing song after the girls joined us from flea.
Apparently Jason's got a screwed up mind that mixed up which food HW likes and don't, so the cake was screwed up. LOL. But being the benevolent guy he is, HW forgave Jas and forced the cake down his throat (and said thanks). HAHA.
--
Before heading for the Sat celebration was shopping spree.
Spent 120dollars even before dinner.
(That means a total of more than 200 spent that day)
Met Kangster and then Jingyi.
Brought all my necessary items for army (only to realize now that some are banned!)
but most of that 120 went to buying of books.
Became rather bookish these days.
More and more like a good student,
and the irony is it all happens after I've left college.
Things like reading, studying, researching and even going home early;
not what I'll do during school days. LOL.
--
And finally got my Wing and Rank that week too.
Another milestone eh. =] .
That only means ORD is getting nearer.
Just that not much. HAHA.
--
The previous Friday was pissing. PS-ed by Ms Calene Chin,
who conveniently said she had tummy ache after complaining AMK is too far!
Suspicious....
Zzz.
So ended up playing pool with Rex to spend off my (precious) Friday night.
Then Sat was movie session with the girls (after Mac Yap PS-ed).
But it was cancelled eventually. Cause the next slot available when we reached at 2pm is 12am. -.- . Which I later found out that it's partly because of the Sispec people booking away 2 time slot on a Satuday. And it didn't cross my mind that actually TPY's Eng Wah (where my smart brother went) will definitely have seats. So we spent the day loitering and malingering in town area.
Was supposed to go for JingJing's birthday party, but the traffic and road closure (and mainly my laziness) didn't allow me to attend. Sorry bout that Jing! HAHA. She won't mind it anyway, so many people went. =] .
So I made some excuse to Zac and went PY's house for mahjong. HAHA.
Bad boy bad boy I am. tsk tsk tsk.
--
And the previous week was spent celebrating Julynn's birthday at TPY.
Had seafood (crab only actually) dinner and went Punggol area to chill after.
Usual talk cock and drinking again, and ended the night in a high.
--
Conclusion for this post is:
I'm gonna miss out on all the fun till I get my red beret!
How I'll miss them man. Zzz.
Next week's gonna be out-field, and that means another Saturday book out! And it's much predicted to end late in the night. Oh well, don't know whether the tight schedule's a blessing in disguise or what. At least they'll have less chance to tekan us. =]
See you soon friends.

Long weekday...
The next time I'll be home after I book in tonight will be 8 days later. This is just like another confinement week! Not that I'm complaining though, I'm lucky enough to have skipped all the long week in camp.! =]
But still. The feeling sucks. =X
But still. The feeling sucks. =X
Humble pie
I used to always think that being truthful and frank about things you're proud of is the way to go.
I thought it'll allow one less hypocrite to exist in the world.
And even when many around points out that that philosophy of mine is not really widely accepted, I chose to ignore.
Looking back, I think it really backfired.
I'm just pure ignorant. And I despise people like that.
Well, things change, don't they?
Now that whatever I used to pride myself with are fading away and I'm losing grip of all these ego-boosting possessions of mine, things changed.
I'll just eat my humble pie, and live my humble life...
