Army life is "wonderful"

Oh my! It's been such a long time since I last updated my blog! Yea man, many things happened. Here and there. Have been wanting to blog so much, but due to my nonchalance or my boh-chapness, I haven't been updating. But just when I wanted to update and pound a few paragraphs, I realised I have problems using blogger. Couldn't post a thing! So that's sad yeah. But I'm glad it's finally working and here I am typing this entry. So read it while it's hot! Lol.

Anyway, been really busy with army. Yeah, the slack period is over. The times where I could just wake up for breakfast and go to sleep again after breakfast, wake up for lunch and go to sleep after lunch, wake up for dinner and sleep after that too... all these luxurious moments are over!!! It's back to the "chiong sua" period again, where I'll practically perspire each day and soil and toil are just part of the "fun" ya?

My weekends appear to be so much more precious now. But it's always after I booked out that I find myself lost, don't know how to make full use of my weekends, except desperately trying to hook up my friends to join me for some meal or movie. It's "no life" in a way, but I can hardly find other ways to brighten this sad NS life of mine. I'm already figuring ways to enrich myself during NS and not just lay back and wait for ORD and regret afterwards not doing anything fulfilling. You know, like try teaching some tuition(and probably scream at my tutees), or you know take up some Japanese course(and sleep through the lessons)... Yeah, the plans are on the way. Let's see if I can really carve something out of it.

Ha, and they were saying, "oh, 2nd year in NS will be more relaxed" and what not. That's utter bullscrap. As far as I know, my 2nd year in NS up to this point is packed, packed packed!!! We are going through some standby period soon which we will be activated anytime, even during the weekends. We will be having some outfield proficiency test soon in which we have to chiong chiong and chiong. And we have some SAF parade to attend, including the numerous rehearsals. And we're going India for live firing in October(and probably taste the roti prata there). And not to mention the upcoming IPPT and SOC tests.. and our combat shoot.

How pathetic can army life be?

9 more months to ORD. And counting...

Its been so long since u blogged!! Glad u are back.. :D

U have very interesting ExtraOrdinary Wants.. They aint that hard, u can do it!! :D

Yeah blogger was experiencing problems, and mine is still plagued with it. Luckily I can still post.

At least u did contemplate on not going out all the time during army. U will save money de lo, unlike the poor me now with little reserves. The events u mentioned are worth considering and there are much more out there. Take yr pick!!

Second yr is really slack after the above-mentioned events. Especially so after India and the proficiency test. Press on dude! U will see relax sessions like meals-then-sleep again. Its so common after u have completed all yr shit, u just hope to have something meaningful to do..
