Thank God the 2 weeks of confinment in Tekong is finally over, which means i get to sleep more and also, 7 more weeks to POP! haha. Dont think i am allowed to say anymore about army unless i wanna go detention barracks, lol. Anyway, the food, lodgings and commanders have been very nice(this is written in case the canteen aunty wearing spaghetti strips or any of my commanders come to visit my blog, lol jkjk), and thank God i'm in a platoon which dosent have any smokers, and also i have enough time to do quiet time.

Just in case anyone asked, these 2 weeks realli seemed like a long time inside there. cant believe that it was only 2 weeks ago when i dined with des and wendy at fish and co. Maybe to them, these 2 weeks was just an instant, hai.

Now, i'm having this unusually long weekend which SAF graciously give to all their recruits and trainees(with the exception of officer cadets, lol tim wan), but sad to say, i have to spend this times at home recuperating from a cough bug common to all the temporary residents at this particular island belonging Singapore.

Just wanna thank a special group of people - SFC 05~06 batch, namely, tim chaos joel vonn pris nicola daniel jayce anna bong janjan, for celebrating my belated belatd birthday at clark quay and for buying me that pair of pedro leather shoes which they claim will make me less uncle looking as compared to me wearing the birks. haha. Pity that Jem had guard duty and could not join us. It would have been abit more fun if he were there cos we have some, er hem, common topics to talk abt. haha

training will get tougher, i know and i hope. Already, i am finding out more about myself, and i just wanna know myself even more while i am being pushed to my own limits...

for now, i feel rather proud to be able to serve the motherland. :)

in about 36 hours' time, i'll be off to pasir ris, on my way to tekong. Away from here, outside the reach of civilian affairs. Bye to the incessant naggings and the unwelcomed conversations. Farewell too, to my life and comfort, as well as my pink identification card.

i think i might just like being there. A part of me just cant wait to start life as a soldier. There is the other part though. I dread not being able to do cope with army physically especially since i had an accident which almost rendered me handicap just almost 2 months back.

In 36 hours, the only movies i'll be watching are the propagandic SAF movies, which i actually dun mind. Soon, i'll be able to handle weapons of different kind, throwing that poke-ball grenade, shouting " PIKACHU! I CHOOSE YOU!GRENADE!!"...

Man, the people i will meet and have to meet, its a welcoming thought. Hope i realli do get along fine with them. so exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time.

Been getting some bad advises lately, and even a 3 year old can decern them. Who on earth tells people to purposely chao geng in the army? oh well, i'll leave this question an open ended one. Wake up YOUR idea!!

Maybe, just maybe, i'll bring me brother's photo into the army. Figured that out of all the people i know, excluding those who will be goign into the army with me, i'll miss that little monkey the most. God must have planned for aaron to go poly so that he can join me in slackin at home all day, fishing, dota, blah... Whatever it is, this blood brotherhood is getting more and more interesting. And, i'm definately NOT complaining. haha.

but someday, i might try
if only respect were earned
u wont have mine
