Life As A Status Personnel

Well, well what do you know? I tio Excuse RMJ and L/L for this week! It was due to the leg pain I was experiencing for the last two weeks. Long story, but that day I took some painkillers to ease the pain but what did you know my body had a strong reaction to it and resulted in me feeling super dizzy and sleepy afterwards. So I went to MO, hoping just to get some rest in the sick bay. But little did I know, the doctor gave me FIVE DAYS ex and I was like wad the...cos' I felt I didn't really need that much time to rest and worst it meant I would be missing freaking IPPT and route march meaning RT. RT!!! Damn it la...So as things went on, this week turned out to be quite fun actually. To sum it up basically, having the STATUS tag of EX RMJ + L/L combo means you are like literally god la. It's...

My Precious Bookouts!!!

This weekend's book out is really short, I was out ytd night and have to go in later again. Yes, it sucks, but since I can't fight the law, why not just abide by it and better yet, make full use of the short and precious time?Ok, so this week was quite packed with A LOT of physical activities. (Seems like I'm redoing my weekly reflections for my army elearning blog =/) Been doing lots of runs, SOC, PT, stuff like that. And there was the rifle proficiency test too. Quite shack, cos' of the lack of sleep but still can take it. But F*** I kena bad cases of muscle pull and aches all over my legs which is really very demoralising. The worst is I'm having the actual IPPT on tues so by hook or by crook I have to find a way to heal the pain before that.Overcame ONE of my three greatest fears in BMTC;...

Back to School

Yes, back to the school of Basic Military Training. It's damn rushed today, I basically did two days' activity all in one frigging afternoon. Shopping, eat, grocery, run, blog, song, touch up uniform, pack army stuff, use laptop all from morning till now. I damn shag now and I'm only left around 1 hours plus before book in. Naturally I feel damn grouchy and pissed. Esp just now I kena a fking painful stitch that stopped me from completing my 2.4km run. And I have absolutely no privacy and peace just before booking in. And my damn spaghetti wasn't ready today.I have nothing more to say, my song is 90% complete but under circumstances I can't record today, so screw that.Suddenly, I feel that going back to Tekong is kinda reliving. You see, back there you don't have to have a mind of your own,...

March Forth

Thanks for all the encouragement guys. It's things like these that really spur you to push on even harder. Today was from one perspective, another wasted day. But, really if I look at it from another angle, I guess a day spent doing nothing and without plans is essential to keep my life unpredictable and lively (in a way) as opposed to a life that is constantly planned and rigid. Sometimes, we should just let nature take is course, so to speak. This Tiger year is definitely not for me man. So far I've been losing quite a large chunk of money due to the festive gambling. Come on, what did I expect? The Horse is a natural prey to the Tiger, so, it's only normal this year's CNY sucks for me, ha.To uplift my mood, I've decided to bring out some super catchy riffs into my blog. Sometimes, a riff...

Book out days seem so short...

Seriously, this is already the end of the third day of my short break. It's really shuddering to think that I have to book in on tues night 1715 given that fact that I have not really utilised this break wisely. Most of the time wasted on sleep, slack, comp, walking around aimlessly, etc. Maybe this is normal bah. The very least, is that I got to catch a movie, hang out with friends, do up my uniform and even train my fitness (a bit). To sum it up, your "free time" now during civilian life is just like a short 5 min water break given during a whole afternoon's drill training under the scorching sun. It feels my whole world is shrouded by a dark mist that never permanently goes away.Today was CNY, same old, same old. Gambling, catching up with cousins, eat, smile, stuff like that. Don't really...

Tekong is a Chalet

Well, well look who's back? Yea, I've finally returned from my 9 days confinement in Tekong! As heard from one of my Company people, "Now I know why the army guys are so crazy about BOOKING OUT!". After hearing so much about BMTC from my buddies, I finally got to experience those stuff IRL. I'm not gonna reveal much, as there is some law by the govt that we cannot blog bout' army stuff so I'll just leave it at that. Anw, these 9 days we've basically covered basic stuff like Water parade, diff variations of wearing uniform from pt kit to SBO, IPPT test, SOC (half), Route march, turnouts, stand by area/bed, rifle ceremony and technical handling etc. Also, we were the first batch to be introduced to the elearning stuff but I don't think I can post the details so yea. Training wise, regimentation...

Final Post before Enlistment

I'm pissed to say we already got off to a bad start today. Just woke up, and you know what time it is? 1pm. I've already wasted a few hours that I could have utilised properly. Now I've only left 9 hours before 10pm and time is running out. I have quite a lot of stuff to complete today like pack my bag, buy some stuff, cut hair, etc. I don't think I will even have time to lie on my bed and just listen to my music, something that I wanted to do before enlistment. Yes, tomorrow is the D-day. This will be my final post for a good whole 10 days or so before I come out. As I said I'm already physically and mentally preped so I hope everything goes...

The Untitled Post

I am experiencing a spectrum of contrasting emotions now. Just so many things are unfolding so quickly that I've not been able to catch a breather to slow things down. I guess it's just normal since I've accomplished so much in these two months. Just less than 40 hours and will be going to Tekong. The reality had just seeped into my central system and I must say I'm kinda of taken aback. Stay Kvlt and Trve Lab, that's all you need. Always remember Death's lyrics:"I will not feed your hunger,Instead, I BITE THE PAIN!Looking not back but forward,I BITE DOWN."These few days were just spent doing last minute shopping for Army stuff, spending precious time with friends, hogging the laptop to enjoy as much as possible, song writing, training fitness, etc. Completed my 4th 6.3km reservoir run this...
