army

i dont really have the mood or zest to blog these days. why? maybe cos i am an emo kid? ha. i am already infamous for being an emo kid. so i guess it is not surprising.
i guess this is an overdue report on army for all my beloved readers out there. i have not really touched on much on army in my previous posts. maybe because i feel that army is not a significant part of my life at all. i have come to terms with having to be in army. feeling rather neutral about the training and all.
army has been an experience. being a NINJA recruit has people gasping loudly! why? cos we dont drag our boots, go thro tough training and do like a zillion push ups! coming into army, i was the typical "i so wanna slack" guy. my mum's been bugging me to head to command school and do the best i can in army. sometimes, it is not that i dont want to do it. it is i cant do it. i have so much problems with my body. mild scoliosis, severe flat feet and an unlockable elbow. so what do u expect me to do? go command sch and tough it out more! i have had thoughts of being an officer, but what for? the name and glory lasts for 2 years. once you are out, i dont think any civilian would give a damn that you are an officer.
i guess that with my condition, downgrading is easy. i dont want to though. having to recourse again and stuff is too much of a hassle for me to handle. i prefer doing it once and do it good. ok! the do it good is a lie! but knowing that i may not pass my ippt or soc, going command school is out of bounds. so a slacker vocation awaits me...... haha... cheerios!
field camp is next week. yikes!

Smiles again

life's been fun this week. haha.. all thanks to my jc friends. as it was a long weekend, we hit K box on fri and sentosa on sat. not that i am trying to get any more tanned but i miss volleyball! haha. sometimes we think our friends are boring and they dont necessarily share common interest or anything with us. but when it all boils down, it is that we are able to chat freely and enjoy the presence of each other.
i guess all of us always think that we want friends from the "IN" crowd. we want friends who are tall, good looking, clubbers and rich! i believe that everyone is guilty of that. i am. i used to think that all my friends weren't fun and interesting. however, my perspective changed. i realised that my friends are those who made "lubricated" my life. haha.... life's been happier and all with them around. i am not afraid to be myself.
i am really fortunate to have friends who scream at me to sing into the mike at K box when i obviously am musically challenged. haha.. they even bear with my horrific singing. i was so embarrassed but they seriously didnt seem to give a shit.
life in army has also been good with friends around. being a slob like me, i didnt bring in thirsty hippo or some water abosorbant thing into camp and guess what! my bunk mates gave me one. haha.. and even a glade air freshner thing.
i guess in life, friends are the most important. ultimately, some may say that family is what we fall back on when we are in the ditches. but can we share stuff and be sure that it wont spread within the family? i know i cant! haha.. cos my obnoxious sis is reading this blog. so is my nosy aunt. haha...

i continue to march on in my YAWN army life....

gush of wind

it has been ages since i ever felt such euphoria. why? cos i am finally out of army after two weeks. here is the equation of how army is like:

ARMY= BOYS HOME+ VULGARITIES+ BOYS(NOT MEN! COS SOME JC STUDENTS ARE STILL EVER SO IMMATURE)

i dont really have the feeling to blog. so here is the end....
