NICE! Had a long weekend this week. Not that I chaokeng and get an extra day off, but is because the company gave us an off-in-lieu day on Friday because of the section live firing held on a Saturday. Actually, the long weekend started on Thursday evening. We had Chervons Night at The Chervons at about 6pm. The entire night was about playing games and drinking beer. Not that we got no other alcohol, but that was the main drink for the night. Had a couple of cups that night.

Took this long weekend to rest as much as possible and also try to enjoy since I finally had about 3 days rest instead of only 1 and a half days for the past few weeks. -.- Went to watch Salt on Friday (like finally) and I thought it was quite a nice show. Then on Saturday, went to supperclub as there was nus sci bash held at there. Could have stayed after the evening until Sunday morning but couldn't because of driving lesson at 10am. Sian.

Last time when I was still schooling, I always say that studying is sian/boring etc. Now, I really want to go back to school or uni as a matter of fact. Seriously, when you are studying, you only have to bother about your studies and your school life (generally speaking). And especially after that event last night, that glimpse of uni life really makes me even more want to go back to school. This sucks.

I know that I'm not perfect
But I keep trying
Cause that's what I said
I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely
So please don't leave
Was it something I said
Or just my personality

cos life's like that

Did the dumbest thing on the last Friday of July. In the end, I had to stay in camp from 6th August. Can't even go home for the long weekend. And the worst thing is that, I had nothing to do at all while the usual people had an outing. That really sucks. Zzz. Seriously, once is enough and I am so not going to make that mistake anymore.
I was like so close to getting a Commando's gold for IPPT! Didn't know what actually had happened on that retest day but I think it had got to do with a sudden adrenaline rush. Managed to do 12 pull ups which was shocking to me. Not trying to show off because I can't even do 12 now. Haha! I was being let down by my running time, 10min and 20 sec. Oh well. At least I attained silver and my extra $100. Nice..I just realised that in the entire company, I am the only one who hasn't go home/book out on a Friday. 1st week - COS, 2nd week - sports day, 3rd week - RT, 4th week - confinement, 5th week - CBRE. To think that there are people who say that they don't have much time over the weekends. Totally oblivious to their surroundings. Pathetic.

Went to peng chang someone whom I should have some time back last night. I didn't even know that she had changed her job and worked there. Ok, I shall leave some details out since it is rather personal. Just for your info, it is something that I don't think I will do that often.

Almond, hazelnut and caramel coffee

Im stuck here in this life i didn’t ask for
There must be something more,
Do we know what we’re fighting for?
Breathe in breathe out
And all these masks we wore
We never knew what we had in store
Breathe in breathe out

Finally done with field training. It's OVER! It wasn't as bad as I thought although it rained almost everyday this week. When you are soaked to your skin, you won't really bother so much, just prone and do the drill as per normal. But seriously, digging shellscrape is damn difficult when you have to wear helmet,LBV and carry that rifle. Couldn't even dig properly and I wonder how people can dig finish within the time limit. Zzz..

Anyway, I was supposed to blog about this last time, but I have forgetten about it. Sometimes, when you think positively about this new 2-years-life, it can really get interesting. For example, at Tekong, I managed to see sunset, rainbow and around 10 fireflies. When you get to see all these little things during the tough and sian training, your mood will somehow just improve. I don't know what you people will feel, but that's what I felt then. And on last Thursday, when my friends and I were resting after digging the shellscrape, a firefly was flying above the bush, directly at our eyes level. It is just the little things that make one happy.

there's such a big gap between want and can
for all I know now, it is not easy to keep up

I don't think it is necessary to put it up anymore
since it's already a known fact
well, at least to only some

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
