the result was out .
or rather a bombshell was dropped onto me .
i was assigned to go delta . and i'm going to thailand in august -.-" . not to see transvestites or whatever shit , but for an oversea exercise .
was very sian when the news was out becos only 20% chance to go delta and i'm so so unlucky . seeing people punching their fist in air and celebrating over their new unit is terrible . i could only look into the sky blankly and shake my head in disbelief . haizzz ...
i still haven get out of the ' emo ' state till this moment . but my mindset is changing gradually ...
" only when u had experience in staying in a house full of shit will u then truly appreciate what is beautiful . even simple things like a bowl of porridge will taste like heaven . " - i learnt this quote from sgt ong lai . and it has a far-reaching meaning for me .
my skills are only going to get better after all these shit . they only help me to improve as a soldier isn't it ? maybe aft my 2 years stint , they will give me a medal for ' best operator ' ? lols ...
and my philosophy has not changed . in whatever ways , there is no way that i can run away from my ns liability . therefore i will make the full use out of these 2 years and serve my nation , maybe not wholeheartedly , but with pride and honour .
p.s. : i want to clarify one thing . dun have the mindset that my ns is very slack - that i always get to have nites off and free time ...
people get to see me only when i'm free and slacking around , but they didnt't get to see me when i'm slogging my day out in the field and doing all sorts of tasks .

lalala ...
last week was the most relaxing week so far .
mon to fri , it's jus so lecture , eat , sleep , sports , and then slack . wahaha ...
i jus wanted to share a funny moment while playing soccer . we were playing 11 vs 11 , together with 2 of our unit's ' discipline master ' . one of them had the ball with them , and was deciding who to pass to . i decided to sneak up to him from behind , and steal the ball away .
with a stroke of luck , i succeeded . the next moment , i saw him falling flat on his buttock . wahaha ... he didn't notice my presence at all and was about to whack the ball when it rolled away . the outcome - he whack the air so hard that he tumbled to the ground . lols .
i cause *** to fall to the ground . woots ! mwahahaha ... so evil of me . lols . must know that it's almost rare to have this chance leh . so cant stop laughing . partly due to the fact that he was one of those who made us suffer so much during our confinement . so considered it a revenge ! yeah ...
both weekend was spent doing some catching up with pri sch frens . and yes it's over 2 weekends -.-" . but i think it's okay becos there are newcomers from both session . wahaha ... to think that some of us haven seen each other for 8 years and most doesn't have too much change in them is somehow ... amazing .
overall , i think the atmosphere is great . we played games at minds cafe , and did small chats over at nydc . but it's all limited to really small chats -.-" .
well fret not . it's just the gap that separates us all these while limit our chat to just ' small ' . if we gather more often , together with my occasional stupidity haha , i think sooner or later we will be talking more rubbish rather than withholding ourselves and keeping with the formalities . lols . and please dun forget who i am - a bridging engineer . my forte is bridging gaps , be it rivers or the invisible ...

274 days , 39 weeks , 9 months ...
that is the amount of precious time that i had spent since i entered army .
and this coming fri , 14mar2008 , i will be having my graduation parade .
finally , i have attained the rank of a sergeant !
and i'm proud of myself . becos i earned it using my sweat , mental strength ... plus extra confinement -.-" ...
i wun forget how tough it is for me to get this far , to get this rank .
though it would also mean more confinements in future , but i dun care . becos the boat will stablise itself once it docks at the pier . i will take things in my stride .
right now , i'm going to celebrate my grauduation .
come all my human beings frens , feel free to attend my parade . jus give me a call and i will chop lots of place for u . mwahaha ...
