Finally..

Today was the first time I played football with my army friends. It was quite fun. Been a super long time since I last kicked a ball.

Went back to camp for my extra duty. Time passed super fast inside. Did nothing much the whole day except to get the meals from the cook house.

If only the coming 8 months pass so fast like yesterday, I will be super happy.

And the sad thing is, the shits will start again tomorrow.

Random







Was thinking back of my secondary school days. Indeed, time flies.

It has been 4 years since I left Montfort. Been there for 10 years. It was full of ups and downs. But nonetheless, I'm glad that I made good friends especially through the last 4 years in Montfort.

Now that I'm in the army, I kind of lost touch with them. I believe all of us are busy with our army life. We only have weekends for ourselves.

I'm always looking forward for a gathering. Be it for football, meals or even a drink. Just missing those times we used to have because after I'm in OCS, I seldom catch up with them.

Suddenly thought of this friend whom I was used to be close with in the past. But somehow, we drifted away further and further. And I realised it's been a really long time ever since I last talked to him.

Well, I just hope everyone in our clique will be the same like before. With innocence and ignorance, we just did everything with joy.

But I know, the chance is slim.

Maybe I'm writing this entry due to me being in army, I'm nostalgic about my life before I entered the army.

Please God. Let me find joy in serving my NS. Especially for this coming 8 months.

Sick

Been coughing a lot for 3 weeks. I don't know why I haven't recover when I'm going to finish my 3rd bottle of medicine soon.

Sian it's affecting me a lot especially when I feel drowsy after taking the medication. Then it makes me sleepy during lessons. FUCK!

O ya! I lost my bunk keys when I went to the MO last week. I got to sign 3 extra and pay for the key.

Just simply hope the remaining 8 months will pass fast.

2 more weeks to field camp.

Sians.

CLM and 1st week of Service Term

My first 2 weeks in OCS was quite good. I was posted into Hotel Wing for CLM.

Everyone was bonding well and I felt comfortable with them around. My buddy was a very nice guy. And coincidentally, he was from NCHS. The thing was my team played with his team when we were in Sec 1. Lol again, I was proven that this world is really small.

I did a few things that I didn't try before in my life. Such as the 5m confidence jump into the pool. It was very fun. Then I also went for this Chemical Defence thing. We wore a full protection suit with a mask (we look like Counter Terrorist in CS) and went into this room filled with tear gas. We did some simple physical exercises inside and at the last stage, we took off the mask and shouted out our NRIC, rank and name. The gas will make you cry like hell and your mucus will flow like a water tap. It was really a nice experience.

The sad thing came this week. From Hotel Wing, we were transferred to Sierra Wing. I was transferred from Platoon 3 to Platoon 1. I was fucking sad. When we were starting to bond well, the administrative people broke me and my friends up. I ended up in another platoon with not much people I know. Felt kind of outcasted at first. But luckily, as time passed, things got better.

People said the system in Sierra is very slack, which I agree to an extent. It wasn't the Cadet Officers who are slack, it's the instructors. Since when do you people see us waking up the officers for first parade? It's really fup.

Did my IPPT. It was the best performance since BMT days.

Sit ups: 45
Pull up: 16
Shuttle run: 9.8s
SBJ: 221cm
2.4km: 9.4mins

As you can see, all of them all Gold standards except for my SBJ (AGAIN). Did lots of MRTs to build more muscles around the knee. So hope I can get a Gold by the end of Service Term which is in December, which I believe I can do it.
