Field camp diaries
Sunday, January 18, 2009
Tonight is the last night of field camp. Im thinkingA hot shower is just 20 hours away. It was really tough at first. It was like a combo meal where everything is upsized; intensive lessons, test, physical activities, and the cycle repeats. I look back and wonder how did i ever survive even the first BMT phase of my army life. The SISPEC environment is really different. There aren't that many blur people and even if they are, they know how to conceal it. It seems that everyone are fending only for themselves even when unity is an integral part of the army. Everyone are 'fighting' in one way or another. Pushing to cross over to OCS, some try not to stand out so they won't be picked for Advanced section leader course (ASLC). There actually quite alot going on in this small building.
And as part of Basic section leader course (BSLC), field camp is part of the 'highlight'. Field camp is the time where the really selfish people reveal themselves. Vulgarities starts flying and responsibilities are being footballed around. But of course, the truly genuine people surface; friends i call, that volunteers to carry your load when you are literally dying, friends that always help to fill your water ration even when he is as tired as you are.
I dont deny, but during this field camp, i was selfish; looked away when volunteers are needed, shout abit louder when commanders are looking my way. During the last walk back to our habouring area in the middle of the woods, i reflected. I cant help but wonder why im so unhappy, why am i suddenly so sceptical even when im here for 1 month already.
Like a relevation, it came to me that i was slowly letting go of my life values to achieve someone else's goal, trying to fight for something i dont even understand. Im not happy at all, whats the point? Thank god for the light that shed on me, im going to hold on to my values even when they weigh a tonne to carry, even when it means that i cannot reach the fruit because i won't even enjoy it proudly. So hold on to your values people, cuz they make who you are, without values, a person is just another human being.

trying to live outside NSF
I just came back from field camp and ZOMG. I really appreciate my home even more, even more so than the previous tekong camp. And i guess the feeling will snowball every single time i have to sleep with insects.
This is Nichole, one of the t.u.b.s, you prolly have not met her cuz shes forever in aussie studying, one after another. She talks loudly like Huiyee; i guess its the JAR-KAR-TA blood in them.



This is a back dated entry. Nichole has already gone back to aussie yet again. I was so upset because i had to book in and all of us couldn't watch red cliff 2. URGH!! Then its about like half a year or so when we will meet nichole again. Then Tim will be gone and huiyee is already GONE. But i guess this is a transition period lar. All of us have to pursue our dreams. We cant just forever go out and find places to eat and talk cock. If we dont go for our own adventures, "WHERE GOT COCK TO TALK ABOUT!!!!"
Lucky Amy and Lucky Gek went to US with Huiyee. I requested for Nike Dunks but they say New York was having crazy sale and the dunks left over were sucky. Anyway, they got me ted baker stuff instead. Cool though, it TED. LOL. Baileys chocolate was awesome!!!

So i went to Joo Chiat for this quality steamboat with gek and tim. Its call 'teochew traditional steamboat at 176 joo chiat road. Its nice cuz of the soup and its NOT buffet style. Thus, the quality of the ingredients and food served was nice. Cost about 34 per person but we had our fill. Best thing was it doesnt have the disgusting after feeling from most buffet style steamboat. Service was great too. Definitely will go there again.

Just when i start getting damn damn sian about SISPEC again, they gave me this. I love medals.
Hahaha... and the fact is that i didnt even play. I was the reserve and i just help serve the volleyball to them during practice.

the year 2008
Saturday, January 3, 2009
LAST year has been a really exciting year for me. I was reading all my back entries from Jan 08 all the way to Dec 08. From my entries, i can tell i truly enjoyed every moment of it. Come to think of it, the fengshui people did say that 08 would be a good year for dragon babies. Then i looked at all my photos, my face really changed. Lost around 7 kg in total although i accredit that to NS and field camp.
I cant wait to be posted to a unit where i can settle down and make myself at home then i can finally start to plan out the rest of my 1 years and 6 months of my army life. This year, i really dont wanna get involve in any stress-related stuff anymore. i suppose 2009 will be a year of rest.
Ok, this is redundant since most people's new year resolution is last year's, im still going to write down what i hope to achieve.
- Driving License
- Manage my finances better
- Build at least 50% of my portfolio
- Spend more time with family
- Build a better body
Im going to turn 21st this year man... .. gonna get the golden key symbol from my family... Like what intan wrote on her blog, we are finally grown up. No longer would we want the attention we seek when we were 16,17. We are going to build up our lives starting from now. No longer can we afford to make foolish mistakes because this time, we will pay for the consequences as responsible adults. I want to to able to grow as much as i can so that i can finally say i own my life.
