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.

Hmm so yesterday was not the last time i can blog from tekong. Today seems like a good day?
There wasn't 5bx in the morning, we wore our admin attire instead of long 4 and due to the heavy rain, we can stay in bunk now. Although it wouldn't make much of a difference because we had to do area cleaning anyway. Today's schedule is still kinda packed, but i'm still hoping for admin time :\

Blogging for the last time in tekong, gonna return the laptop tomorrow. so sad. i'm used to tekong now to be honest. but this is my last week here.
been feeling moody for the last two days. isn't the first time i've had this feeling. i really don't know the cause of this but i know i hate this feeling.
Once again, I've lost it. I lost myself.

This week's gonna be sian. Graduation parade rehearsals everyday. If it was in long 4 only den maybe life would be better. But there's rifle, ilbv and field pack. i think that's the main difference between npcc parades and this one. Argh, so annoying. I really hope its not gonna be too bad cos when we had our drills com practice last week, it was sucky. Hoping for longer admin time this week and enough rest. Because for the past week, i barely had 5hours of sleep everyday.

Been thinking about what Jiahan told me.
"You're better than you think you are."
Is my self-esteem really that low? How much confidence should i have in order not to be arrogant?
Hmm...
