For monday to friday, that was on top of our training in the day. Barely had enough rest for the past 2 days. I'm glad i drank the red bull though, if not i wouldn't have the energy to do anything. Really very tired right now. There's still training tomorrow till friday. There's also tank washing tomorrow as well. I think i'm gonna fall sick sooner or later.

"The flesh looks at the smooth road and thinks it would be easier if I were made to forget completely, or were given an answer soon. Psalm 57: "... In the shadow of thy wings will i make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast... God that performeth all things for me... My heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise." -Elizabeth Elliot

i really prefer youtube singers now. Tiffany Alvord! my songs are kinda old already. gotta update myself ah! din even know maroon 5 had a new single. Listening to music in bunk is shiok. I guess that has been something i've been looking forward to everyday when i'm in camp. And somehow i dunno what's with me but i've got an addiction to milk tea. Always have a craving for milk tea whenever i'm in camp and the first thing i'll do when i'm out, hunting for a bubble tea shop! YEAHH! and guess what, my camp sells the pokka milk tea in the vending machine :D
course starting this week. officially ends on 1st june and i'll have another POP on 8th of june. after that will be flying overseas both in september and october. 3weeks each but i'll have only a 1week break in between. kinda excited because i've never been to a country so far and i've never boarded a plane? And well, yeah, its free!
Today is my book in day.
One more stupid love song, i'll be sick.

Just back from watching an awesome movie, Avengers. Might just be the first few to have watched this movie in Singapore. Hulk is like this big green guy that is super awesome and he totally changed my perspective of him. And well, black widow isn't as strong as the others in the Avengers. But hey, at least she can protect the people she love.
After being in army for so long, I'm really starting to know myself better. When i'm tired and under stress, i get really impatient. I become selfish. Under those circumstances, my welfare is all i think about. Even though i know i'm weak both mentally and physically, i still am an arrogant boy. I don't know how and what to prioritize anymore. In the army, i'm just forced to do everything, but when i'm out, i just don't want to do anything, but slack. Shouldn't everything be the opposite of what is happening now? I'm just so lost.
Right now, i can't seem to recognise the person in the mirror. Haha maybe i should just stay single all my life, because i can't even take care of myself.
Somtimes i really wanna be like hulk. He's just a little angry, that's all.

Been a long time since i blogged. Ytd vegas hinted that the army talk is boring him alittle bit. Its true that i'm talking alot about army now but thats really because i have nothing else to talk about. I guess its just another part of civilianhood that i lost. I'm sorry if i bore anyone with my army talk!
Okay now onto army. So far things are still okay. Apart from taking too long to reach there, everything has been fine this week. Food there is good, there's enough rest and there are alot more privileges as compared to last time. Its just this change that i have to get used to. Different people, diferent place, different habits. I cant emphasize on how much i miss platoon 4, seriously. When we shouted out our platoon motto, i always took pride in that because i really think that we are truly a cut above the rest. I miss the admin time when we would play around in bunk, talking about random stuff and jiahan and churn hoe would be trying out dance moves near the door. People would be taking febreeze to try and kill the bee. We were just so crazy and fun at the same time. I hate it when you're getting familiar with something and you gotta part with it. I'm kinda regretting it now because i didnt cherish the times spent with them. I didnt try my best and im always feeling sian just because im in army. Why didnt i think that they were with me and i should be happy about that?! On wednesday when the ocs people came over to visit armour. I was overjoyed and even this word seems like an understatement. I saw so many of them and that really lifted my mood. As for now, im really just gonna try hard so that i wun regret it again. I hope i have more stories when i meet them again and i dont wanna lose to the ocs people! I still can be on par with them even though im only a man.
What we are gonna do in the new unit seems quite xiong i think. There's a selection phase for one month den the my course is gonna last for 2 months. Time is gonna pass quite fast i think. We'll see how it goes because its still far from my ord date.

POP-ed yesterday. It has been 10weeks since i enlisted and platoon 4 has been great. I guess it'll be really hard to forget my time in tekong. It was the first time i had diarrhoea, i met so many people that are so awesome, ferry trips didnt seem like something foreign, what we did together as a platoon was simply priceless. I'm really gonna miss section 3 alot though. Maybe alittle too much. Waking up on a monday morning, not being in bunk and not able to see them just feels so weird! Spencer would usually be the first to wake up and on the lights. Today, i dont feel the burning sensation in my eyes when the lights are being turned on. We would always try to smuggle food in when we.book in and it is always funny to see how they try to hide their food! The fact that we usually book in early gives us alot of admin time after that. Den everyone will take out their food, blast music, turn on their umpc and start partying. Especially during the games day and oc night and NE presentation, i felt really bonded with the people in Gryphon. Company games, was the best. We tried so hard to win every single game despite having such a short amount of time given to us for practice. During unleash it all, which was the cheering.section of the games day. Everyone was amazed at how much we did given the short amount of time we had. When our Gryphon flag tood up tall in the field, there was this sense of pride that we were in Gryphon. The unleash it all crew danced and really caught the judges eye. Yeah we got 1st place, thats for sure. We really went through alot together as a platoon, but it has only been 10weeks. I guess the hectic schedule that we had made it seem like a very long time. Now my bmt phase has ended and really, im gonna miss tekong where platoon 4 first met. This time im really gonna try my best to always keep in contact. Thank you platoon 4 for everything.
