Seriously,this week was a slack and exceptionally relaxing week except for practice sessions for Drill Com and real IPPT.

We managed to deliver a wonderful performance for drill com even though we only practiced for 3 days. I think we did better than some companies but still lost to 2 other companies which practiced for at least 3 weeks.

Finally, we managed to complete our IPPT despite the short rain before 2.4km run. Most of us got silver and 8 got gold for my platoon. Thinking back, we didn't manage to meet our target which was 50% gold and 50% silver. But nevertheless, I am sure that everyone did their best.

On Wednesday, we had commanders' night where each platoon performed an item for the commanders. It was a night where we embarrassed them by imitating their actions and the way they speak. Everyone was cheering and really had a good laugh. Then when we were marching at the company line, they threw water down from the 2nd floor. That marked the start of water fight. Water bottles, jerry cans and ice box were all being used to "attack" each other including some of the commanders.

On Thursday, we had recruits' evening where all the recruits from 5 companies gathered together at the MPH in our civilian clothes to enjoy. There were performances by MDC and 4/5 companies. Honestly, we should have won the best performance. The last part of our performance was a direct provoke to one of the company and it was obvious everyone except them was enjoying that. We didn't expect the performers to do that luh. Heard that they were damn pissed with us for doing that. But too bad! Nearing to the end of the event, we created a mini-disco at the hall. Live music and dances with people jumping in the air according to the beat and some being lifted into the air and tossed around. That night was seriously a blast!

1 more week to POP. Time passes real fast. For now, I can only hope that I can at least get into SCS.

Ok, time for something that is not army related. This year's World Cup is so unpredictable. France and 2006 champions Italy are being knocked out of group stage. Wth. That's like so.. and now England vs Germany in the round of 16. Just hope that England doesn't get knocked out this early.

Come to think of it, I was really uncouth in my previous post. Sorry. But I guess everything is fine now.

Managed to book out on Friday (like finally) because there wasn't any RT or any activities on the weekend this week. We were supposed to complete IPPT on Wednesday but it rained after all of us had completed the 4 static stations. Since the 2.4km run had to be held on the same day, the results were voided and had to re-do the entire test this coming monday. This means that I still have a chance of getting silver. I think the results were considered for those people who need to get out of RT. So even if there was RT this week, I am out of it!
And another thing, I passed SOC on the 9th lesson! For all previous 8 lessons, I couldn't climb the low rope. On the test day, I didn't know how I managed to climb and touch the top bar. After climbing down, I had that shock but self-satisfactory feeling. Lol.

Anyway, I was re-arranging my documents yesterday and came across all the old photos that I had - NPCC photos from sec 2 till now, prom nights and those outings. Suddenly I had this nostalgic feeling. Thinking back, those times were really the best. No worries (except for studies), doing stupid things etc. It is like almost not possible to re-enact those times anymore especially when some of us are in army while the rest are studying. Oh well.

I shouldn't have given up at that time
if only I held on
perhaps the situation might be different now
but my perseverance level and will to fight on were low then
I can only say, too bad for me
and another thing,
that feeling just lingers there and it doesn't seem to be going away
tell me why.

Pyramid, we built this on a solid rock
It feels just like it's heaven's touch
Together at the top (at the top baby), like a pyramid
And even when the wind is blowing
We'll never fall just keep on going
Forever we will stay, like a pyramid

So what if:
1) you are a smoker and got a group that "follows" you?
2) you are damn good at SanDa?
3) you are rich and can get away with almost everything?
4) you can do a lot of pull ups and everybody is amazed by it?
5) you are the one of the fastest to clear SOC?
6) you can get IPPT gold?
7) you got a girlfriend whose father is a retired MAJ?
Seriously, these people think they are damn great, like some big shot. Do something that they don't like, they will start to kao-pei you like they are your parents and speak vulgarities. They don't even think of other people feelings. All they think of is themselves. Even if they follow the idea of "self before others", but not to that extent. For all I know now, these people are seriously fk-ed up. So just fk off. Fk you, understand?

Damn pissed off. I have been trying to bear with it for like the past few weeks and my tolerance level has a limit. If I flare, people will think that I am trying to show off or whatever not. They can't understand the true meaning of it and will make fun of it. Is like wtf. Pardon me for my language. Really need to release this bottled feeling.

Oh well, now for the happier things. 6 weeks through, with field camp, sit test, live range and grenade throwing done. 3 more weeks to go which include SOC, IPPT, long route marches, games day and POP. Woohoo! I will be looking forward to 3/7/10 and 27/2/12.

I don't need a parachute
Baby, if I've got you
Baby, if I've got you
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me
You're gonna catch if I fall
Down, down, down

I think I was lucky to see it before you changed it
it is obvious that there's someone who wants to care for you
is just that you refuse

Time seriously pass real fast. I have been in BMT for 5 weeks already. Not that I am complaining, but it is just unknowingly fast. To be honest, never in my 19 years of my life that I want time to pass even faster than now. I can't wait for this 22 months to be over. I rather study than go NS. At least I can manage my own time and allocate properly. Right now, my weekend time is getting lesser and lesser each week and even whether I have a proper weekend to rest remains as a question mark. That's pathetic luh. How am I supposed to balance friends time, personal time and family time within a day if book out on Saturday or 1 1/2 day if book out on Friday? Zzz. So much for a balanced life.

Anyway, go read "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" if possible. It is quite a good book. It is about time I make full use of rest time during NS. It is a common situation among people - you will unknowingly feel less clever.

I really don't know what's the next step to take
it has a dormant topic for the past 2 months
how to start?

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
