Saturday, September 27,
finally 1st book out after 2 weeks of adjustment period... i must say life is tough but its fun too.. at least for now.. haaa... got my SAR21 on the 3th day of enlistment alrdy.. how fast can that be.. 1st route march alrdy with rifle.. ippt fail!! expected.. but at least still can pull 6 shutter run still got 4points, 2.4km chui.. 13flat..
Its good/lucky that i am in PTP batch.. theres so much more time for everything.. complete all our 4 3km march starting on the 4km monday.. another 4 more 4km to go, one 6km, one 8km one 16km and lastly 24km. theres so much i want to achieve..frankly speaking i do not want to waste my 2years in NS achieving nothing.. gold for ippt, marksman, these are the basics at least for now.. So the no-punishment week is over.. and hells begins the moment we step into tekong the very next book-in. with a few blur cock here and there.. its gonna be hell.. but there i learnt one thing, we eat as one sleep as one live as one... that very man who made the whole team suffer might be the one whom will keep us all alive at war... tough times don't last tough men do. i will try my best in everything i do.. not to be garang or what but just a challenge to myself that i will achieve what i want to if i put all my soul and heart in it and not to waste my 2 years in NS as a man. If god brings me to it.. he will bring me through it..
through 2 weeks period, i realised alot.. i understood alot.. i learnt alot.. i now cherish even the smallest thing like being able to sit down and rest. i learnt to cherish the friends i had, people who was there with me in good and bad times, ppl who shut me out, ppl who made me learnt the harsh reality of life. i cherish every living second i had, all the food i eat. to even be sitting here punching the keys i cherish.. army does make one ponder alot. makes one grow mentally and physically...
So much things are going on and happening inside everyday that everyday seems the same so i guess it also somewhat seems shorter.. am in platoon 1 section 3. got one of the few great platoon sgt and one not so friendly sec sgt. he although isnt very friendly with us, bad with words but from friend in the previous batch and sgt themselves its coz he really want us to be better if not the best.. so other then him being a redicule at times.. i suppose we should wait and see for ourselves if he is really a good sec sgt. Anyway there was this one guy in plat 4, his family was conned 30k. they recieved a phone call saying that his son was seriously injured and need the money for medical attention. Please all those coming in during oct let ur parents know u would be safe inside tekong. nothing will be done through a phone call. dun be so silly to believe sum idiots who call to tell them their son is kidnap or dying or whatsoever. always call back the coy line to check 1st! its been alot cases since jan this year don't be the next.
so many asked what i did on my 1st book out, do girls look prettier and such..
well i guess mine was a simple but great one.. reached home to have dinner prepared by mum, something which i took for granted everyday in the past. then spent some resting time out with a couple of friends chilling drinking singing at a friends pub, ended my night with an oversea call frm janice all the way in brisbane. this also made me realise.. people whom i though wouldn't concern much bout me are actually those who cared alot more, asked more and msged more.. but on the other hand.. ppl whom i though would cared more are actually those who totally didnt bother....
i thank you for letting me understand this.
So back to the topic my next book-in timing would be 2010 on sunday, following book-out would be 1830 on tues and back at 1530 on wed.
so as for today would either be having dinner with family then meeting some poly friends for moive or it would be a stay home saturday.. lolx... home just feels so good now.. i shall wait for field camp and think that bunk is so good.. hahahahahaa
i would say army has indeed drifted us far far apart.but i guess it doesnt really matter to you in anyway.you are still happy with everything you do and living just like you never met me.
