6 months alr..

Sighz, been sometime since I updated about life.. Well, there's gonna be another ops soon with another infantry regiment. Haiz, there's 1 more month of slave driving. Plus another weekend burn. Zzz.. on that particular weekend too..

How to describe leh.. Life's can be considered slack, relative what other guys in other units are experiencing. But that said, its more 'shiong' than outside civilian life. Its stupid in my opinion, if you got something to say to everybody, and that everybody is there, but you just simply have to appoint one 'IC' and whisper to him what you want to say, and then get him to reconvey the message. But then, its the bureaucratic structure.

Or how we when we see anybody approach, the first thing that we look at is the beret colour, followed by the collar(to see if the word 'Singapura' is there, and how many 'crabs' or 'bars'), followed finally by the sleeves, by the stripes. Higher ranking ppl, must shrink away and remain as low profile as possible. All of us are well-practised with the familiar upwards flick of the eyes, followed by the quick downward sweep, and stop finally on the floor, pretending that you've never seen anything.

Or how we got to drink at least half a litre of water, after dinner. Or how we gotta run in a group, under the pretense it helps everyone to improve. -_-. This programme got as much chance of prospering as the command economy under Stalin/Lenin.

But on happier note, at least I can do 3(!!!) pull-ups now. Soo gratifying. Thanks man to ppl out there who have encouraged me, pushed me, trained me in one way or the another. Definitely, my sergeant would claim credit for having produced a 'student' that improved within 1 week of going to the gym. But I know better. Its not the last blow that finally cracked the stone, but the accumulation of all the hundreds of hammering that have gone before. So, thx Mr. Lee.. If you happen to read this, that is. Passing IPPT seems to be in reach finally. All that remains is for divine miracles to point the way to allow me to jump further and let me pass finally.
