ENTRIES

first weekend out of SISPEC! so many things has happened over the week i can't even recall exactly what. haha, monday reported to SISPEC to begin on my journey to being a sergeant. Charlie company, Platoon 2, section 2, bed 08. most likely going to stay there for another 5mths or so till i get my 3SG rank and move on finally to Guards to go through GuardsConversionCourse.

No camera phones allowed... going to have to go shopping for a non-cam phone, its so difficult to find a non-cam phone which has the features i'd like to have e.g bluetooth, FM radio, and the works. so far only Nokia 6021 meets the most criterias.

terrified of bird-shit. SISPEC is over-loaded with flying bombers parking on roof tops and firing at our windows and clothes line. that means it's risky business washing clothes and hanging them out to dry.

Getting along fine with all my section ppl, oh yeah, there's ladies in my company! haha no chance to talk to them much though. different platoon. but i guess its considered as a welcoming sigh to keep me sane and remind me that girls still exist in the world. Isolation on an island full of guys, cut out from the rest of society, cruel cruel cruel. haha, think i communicate so much easier with ladies once i click and flow into the groove.

yesterday met up with a "KC girl/poly friend" for dinner. chatted and laughed our heads off at things which we both could relate to. it very much jerked me back into the world and reminded me how much i miss chatting with females. haha

ok peeps, it's back to Army life today. no more leave, sharks... haha, was really enjoying the free time, sleeping and enjoying the small things in life when freedom comes in abundance. oh well, now is to move on with the next phase of training. SISPEC, excited and all the same unhappy to leave S'pore mainland. haha

Sometimes it's just so difficult to get all your old friends to gather and meet up. what used to be routine sessions have fallen apart, and everyone has now a new path for them to throd down and the great times we've had are just memories waiting to be forgotten. move on with life can i not? haha, cherish only what u have lost is a common problem with humans. only after losing the things they hold greatly dear do they realise how much more they could have done if they put in that more effort.

ok, time to stop bitching and time to get off my comfy chair, leave behind my comfy bed, carry my duffel bag and walk out the door towards unknowns.

Juz got back from sentosa. rather burnt, but happy that i'm more tan now. i guess, i never liked being yellow skined. and anything that ain't pale yellows good for my image. HAHA

hope that my skin wasn't too damaged and start to peel, then all the effort would go to waste. Weather has been very kind to me. At sentosa when i wanted the sun, sand and sea, they were all there. now that i'm home, tired and sleepy, i have the most excellent weather to rest in. Rain! hehe showers are about as i blog. lightning flashes by now-and-then. Blessed to be under a shelther.

Hairs growing longer, need to go trim it soon again i think. by 16Sep i'd know where i'll be going (SISPEC) and then will need to report there on the 19th. fast approaching those dates are. most likely i'll be going for a run tmr to hype myself up and maintain my weak running standard.

hey hey, i've changed my blog's image. well actually i'm still in the process of changing it now. hehe. trying out new things and putting back old stuff and pictures together. wonder how this will work out?

going to burn myself at sentosa in awhiles time. gonna have a chalet there with some of the BMT buddies. too bad its a sunday... where are the babes at? think either sleeping or in church. haha

Last night went out for dinner and pick up my new spectacles. after that has been settled, i didn't feel like heading home, so went to the park to take a stroll and ended up in church. things have changed on the surface alone. the gates are different, the shuttles on the glass doors are down at 8pm! so it told me that the internals have not changed. they're still chasing ppl away from the holy ground after dark. haha, thought thats the time when ppl seek safe zones. oh well, who am i to judge whats right whats wrong.

P.O.P already! woot! now i'm officially a Private! and now its the blk leave period! whee... means got slightly more free time to do what i wanna do. Sleep at home, go shopping centre walk walk see girls. hehe, look look look, cannot touch. now's not the time... although my heart seems to be telling me otherwise.

At the graduation parade so many girlfriends came down to dawn the Jockey Cap for their BF recruits, once again, feeling green with envy. haha, but hey hey theres no one on earth i can possibly blame bout these feelings except Francis, because he's the one thats holding it back. never meet girls, never flirt, never chase girls, how does he expect to get GF that way? haha, then again, maybe one will fall from the skies into my lap one day while i'm sitting at home. HAHA, now... how the heck is that supposed to happen.

my PC filled up some form for me. i guess if i hadn't alreadtyy signed on in SAF, that form alone should be enough to warrant me an entry into OCS. (got a glimpse of it something for "Officer Review Board") he was telling me its for recruits he thinks can make it into OCS. HAPPY! thru the week i was rather down actually coz i wasn't the best. i'd always aimed to achieve the best in alot of things i do. (Not company best, not best PT, not best shot, not even best platoon). Felt like crap, even the that sergt went arnd praising other recruits that weren't "best" for their efforts didn't mention me... down in the dumps, until the last PC interview! Woot!

as i was exiting the ferry terminal as a PTE for the first time, i saw a Guards Warrant Officer. Warrant Ng, he used to be in 1Guards as their RSM. spoke to him, found out he still remembered me from our 1 meeting 3yrs back and that he was no longer 1Guards RSM and was moving on into Leopard company, think he's going there as an "encik" for the company. whoever gets him will be damn lucky man. that guys like cool in his own way. haha

Officer or not to Officer. 16Sept we shall find out. even if i don't get offered the chance this rnd, there's still BSLC. Will be fighting hard for a better life. hmm... will it really be better if i cross over i wonder...
