Last high-key event finally over!!! Weeee~
Overall SIT test compared to field camp? I think neither is tougher actually. SIT test thoroughly calculate one's leadership potential. Our last peer appraisal form says it all- factors were success (ability to lead efficiently and responsibly), stress tolerance (ability to produce high standard result even under high stress), and friendliness (likelihood of somebody to be your friend whom you can trust). I wonder what my other 12 teammates place my ranking as o.O"
Sick of combat rations and not bathing =.="
I noticed there are some people that i would categorise them as the neutralizers. Meaning that their behaviour somehow would neutralize the event in terms of enthusiasm. Like when everybody is supposed to be chionging for something, that person would sdlepak and slack. And when everybody else is resting, this person would somehow garang and volunteer for alot of things. Sheesh~ Apparantly there's such a person in my company. Oh well, we learn in SIT test that we're all in a team and we have to work together instead of blaming each other or on others. Instead of just blaming why not start working solutions?
Guess that covers what i learnt in SIT test =)
Powder has integrated into my daily life. And i'm beginning to adapt more and more into NS life. BMT feels like home now, and i love my life as a soldier. Oh no, am i being physco-ed? Ha ha. Sometimes i wish life was simple and yet i miss the complications i could get in life. Probably more like complications as in interesting events rather than responsibilities and problems =X There goes another irony which i do not want to go into.
Proactiveness is something i learnt along the way in SIT test. Nobody is gonna volunteer (much) to carry the store items (equipments that must be carried around constantly when moving one station to another during SIT test. So just do it, be the one who carry it instead of waiting for somebody else to carry it cause it'll be tiring and would fatigue you out.
Anyways lights out now le. I need to go sleep. I'll call and communicate more tomorrow. Need the rest for IPPT, if can't pass then must RT >.< Jia youz to all the yet-to-pass dragons!

Dear blog
Three high-key events have finally come to a pass- HG throwing, field camp and live range. Amongst which i would rather eat bull's testicles than to go for field camp again =P
After these, somehow i feel that i'm now more of a soldier to the nation, equipped with the skills, knowledge and a lil bit of experience to defend the nation if need be.
The forth and final high-key event would commence next week tuesday. Our SIT test. Even though it's just 3D2N, i believe that it'll be the toughest among them all. Ha ha, but it'll be the determining factor to choose the different path of army life, whether you'll be taking officership, being a specialist or just another man.
For me, i'm thinking of signing on in the infantry as a MDES. Hopefully able to get in to either the medical or ammunition sector.
This 2 weekend here at tekong allowed me to think quite abit. And i realised that pacing is really important in our daily lives. There'll be times when we need to dash that final 200m to squeeze every ounce of your blood to break your limits. And then there are times where you need to plan step by step, distance by distance what are the energy (maximum effort) you're gonna put in till that "checkpoint". Or maybe i'm thinking too much.
To pace or not to pace.
Surges of feelings keep rushing up my mind each time i wander my sight off the green horizons. It's so irritating, specially when i need to focus.
What am i doing now? I'm waiting to return arms. Need to wait for the other half of the company who went to range today (live range was split to two days, my was the 1st), then send arms together. Oh well, lights are off in my bunk now and many people are resting. Because fyi we slept at 0210 yesterday after our range and woke up at 0430 to help the other half of the company going for range. Two hours of rest nia >.< where got enough!!!
I'm sorry. I broke my promise on the 20th. It's something out of my hands, i'd really like to see you now, please. Thoughts, behaviour and attitudes coming to my mind and i'm trying to process them. How would you react in situations...
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Lemongrass smells nice
and so do you...

Broken
In the moonlight
Your face it glows
Like a thousand diamonds
I suppose
And your hair flows like
The ocean breeze
Not a million fights
Could make me hate you
You’re invincible
Yeah, It’s true
It’s in your eyes
Where I find peace
Chorus:
Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
Let’s light up the town, scream out loud!
Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
I can see in your eyes
You’re ready to break
Don’t look away.
So here we are now
In a place where
The sun blended
With the ocean thin.
So thin, we stand
Across from each other
Together we’ll wonder
If we will last these days
If I asked you to stay
Would you tell me
You would be mine?
And time
Is all I ask for
Time
I just need one more day
And time
You’ve been crying too long
Time
And your tears wrote this song
Stay
In the moonlight
Your face it glows
Broken
In the moonlight
Your face it glows
Like a thousand diamonds
I suppose
And your hair flows like
The ocean breeze
Not a million fights
Could make me hate you
You’re invincible
Yeah, It’s true
It’s in your eyes
Where I find peace
Chorus:
Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
Let’s light up the town, scream out loud!
Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
I can see in your eyes
You’re ready to break
Don’t look away.
So here we are now
In a place where
The sun blended
With the ocean thin.
So thin, we stand
Across from each other
Together we’ll wonder

And time

Coyline
Dear blog
Life has never been so much more appreciated!
Our six days field camp ended its last day at coyline (which is today) to wash up and pack up the equipments, store items, clothing etc... I wouldn't want it any other way~
The last 5 days have been very memoriable and i believed that i'm beginning to get closer with my platoon as a whole and individual buddies in my section.
Less about the camp then. Combat ration was interesting >.< But you wouldn't want to have it any where near the laterine =P
I miss alot of people during camp, really. Time flies and... oh crap, i ran out of body soap! Need to go buy le. Wonder where sia, small matter small matter.
Need rest now!!!

501th post
Dear blog
I just noticed from my Dashboard that i missed my 500th post the previous entry. So i shall celebrate my 501th post instead!!!
Happy 501th post!!!
Ha ha. Somebody is quite emo i think because there's a certain flight from China to Singapore not long ago. This is the first time i'm still awake at tekong after 12mm. Woooo guard duty, why so suay kana guard duty =(
It's hard to cheer somebody up, not to say make somebody happy.
I have this thought, if there's 2 person whom are close to you, they are drowning in the open waters and all you have is 1 life bouy. What would you do?
I'll throw the life bouy to that person who needs it and i'll jump down to save the other who needs me more. That's my answer.
So please stop struggling off me, don't take me as a burden to your weight but as a support. No matter how much you shake off, i'm still gonna get back to you.

Silence
Dear blog
Does silence covers it all? I don’t know. Maybe that’s how it should be? Maybe. Maybe i’m not good enough. Maybe. I don’t know what to do at times and i got plenty of demerit because of that. Sigh~
Fairy tales. They don’t happen anymore, not in my life anyways. This week, i hope i’ll be able to pass it thru.
It takes alot of courage to send a sms. Not to mention a handful without expecting a reply. What’s the next step? I want that but it’s not showing.

Communication was lost since the 2nd day. I doubt there's technical difficulties, but then again there's no motivation or no need to. Sigh.
Inception
How i wish i can place on e right now into another's head. Or at least if i can't, to mine.
The day didn't end as well as i thought. I got caught for not locking my UMPC properly =.=" It's not that i didn't lock, just no time to. I just placed the lock and forgot to scramble the number. SIANZ!!! Now like from Saturday 1845 to Monday 0800 i'm stuck at tekong for some stupid shit. Not to mention field camp (with the commencement a 8km route march) the next day and booking on monday.
Basically it sucks. I just want to relax during the weekends and it's taken away from me. So now i have 22 hours from friday-saturday, and ~12hours from book out to book in timing on monday. Which adds up to 34hours of my weekends, this is lesser than the normal book out hours of ~48hours. SIANZ!!! In comparison to somebody without guard duty... they would have about 70 hours. So like WTF FML =.="
Nothing in my life seems to be working. Is it just me? I think so according to you...

Today was the start of our route march with a rest- meaning that our route march that exceeds the distance of 4km. And we "marched" for 6km, dividing it equally 3km to and fro with RHC as the midpoint and resting point. OC returned to company line and i guess the standard has increased to another level to prepare us for field camp.
Sigh, BMT feels so technically stressful. We're required to carry out task with a relatively high level of physical strength, endurance and to exhibit leadership qualities at the same time. argh...
Yesterday's EI talk kinda motivated me to sign on and consider NS as a career. It's not that bad right? Hmmmm :S
Right now, most of us need to have better uniform (clothes) management. Febreeze seems to be using up faster than during PTP period. Well blogging is like my only way now to type out my thoughts. Ha ha, lazy to write with a pen le, now it's the technology generation!!!

Dear blog
Today was a relatively slack day (not that the day is over) for a BMT day. Oh wait there's IPPT later =.=" The previous one was just last wednesday. Tiredness and soreness to be expected!!!
Morning was just the promegrante lessons. Ha ha. Then afternoon 2 activities before and after lunch were rather simple practical tests on our rifle... I managed to pass all pretty well ^^ Previously i couldn't load in time >.<
Just checked that i'm gonna book out this weekend instead for three days, 1 day on Monday extra due to national day off :) But i think i'll still leave it on the 20th of August. They say it's better late then never, but i think sometimes somethings are better late. I know i'm not ready for anything dramatic yet. Whatever~
Strainous week this week afterall. There are new expectations now. A higher level of discipline and conduct. At least i bought new stuff from e-mart just now to supply the need for my clothes :) I think i'll try to find ways to enjoy my book out this weekend before my 6D5N at tekong forest without any book out also.

Dear blog
Sushi tastes better better with Wasabi...
Realised that understanding is the most hardest element to comprehend. Consist of 2 parties, giving and receiving signals. This reminds me of my cell signaling when i was doing my biotechnology. The only problem arise when the cell is cancerous or the cell receiver/transmitter is faulty. When a single cell is cancerous, who is to blame? The cell's DNA? The NK cells that is supposed to eliminate cancerous cells? There's no answer to it because every cell would have a 100% chance to be cancerous. It's just how on the molecular (DNA) level, cellular level, tissue/organ level cope with it to constantly correct it no matter how many times it occur. Once a corrective system chooses to "fail", and not do it's job, the cell would eventually become cancerous and all would be lost. Then the next cure? It'll be waiting the cell to grow to at least a tissue size and then use chemotherapy to kill that area of cells. Some good cells would be lost, but it'll be for a better good.
Too much naggy is not good. I'm going off~
IFC is stressful on the body in the combat fitness manner (not physical fitness).
Time would heal and i'm considering the theory of time dilation... Stay tune till i reach the speed of light >.<
Phone wasn't on. Sigh, would the number change? Would the feeling still be the same? I don't want to think too much. I don't want to be hurt, i just want to enjoy the times. It's selfish. And i think nobody would even bother so much about this space of my life once you're gone... When you're gone.
