2 weeks of non-stop action! wahhh shaq out but felt good!

it has been a very tiring 2 weeks for me as i have been having outfield for 2 weeks non stop without proper rest, sleep and hydration! outfield after outfield, mission after mission. real tiring... but during those time, i have been performing as a man's appointment and have to take instruction from appointment holders. it feels kinda shit but have no choice but to follow through with the exercise and i have been hoping to get engage into appointment in the first week but i was disappointed. i only got the appointment at the worst time. during the digging exercise, i got an appointment of a MG commander and have to dig a real big trench which can fit 3 person inside, causing half my energy dead after the whole thing was completed.

that was only week ONE!

week TWO was not so bad. after 1 last exercise, we march towards the final exercise, the grand finale! everyone cant wait to get through it as we all have been sick for outfield for so long! sick as in we had enough and need some rest before we can continue but we just have to suck it up as we were just trainees.

when the final exercise came, it seems like i have struck 4D! i got the highest appointment! i somehow felt lucky that i got that appointment at that time because i have plenty of time to prepare lost of stuff! during my presentation of orders, i have good comments from the instructors but at the same time, i got tease by them as well for small minor mistakes which i have been commented "improving but still can be improved!" this line has actually push me to perform to my peak! i have never felt so energetic before! i was so eager to go to tekong! i was filled with tons of excitement! but i know that shit will come later but still, i didn't care much! when mission 1 commence, full of excitement, i did my best! when mission one was over, i was so happy that there were no obstacles hindering my way through during the execution phase! yeah!

total of 4 mission, in mission 2, i had heat cramp! all my fingers were cramp hard by the head. i felt like shit! head spinning like merry-go-round! i was down! had a few hours of nap before i could continue. as soon as i join back, a lot of people have shown concern to me. offering me their water to drink! but i wonder if they have any water for themselves.

as the second last mission hits on everyone, everyone cant wait to move on but during that time, i can sense that everyone's morale is getting very low. everyone cant wait to finish it as it seems a long night! as soon as mission 3 is over, everyone's morale is starting to pick up! suddenly everyone's energy came back from nowhere! all full of energy and prepared to fight for the last mission! i was appointed as a platoon medic! had a stretcher on my back. we crossed a river with our stinky body inside the river, picking up all the loose weeds from the river. and we stink more eventually. in my mind, i thought that i will get abrasion on my inner thigh as the clothes rub against my skin. there will be bound to having difficulties in walking but i was wrong. the weather starts to turn bad, it started to rain. some hate it but i like it as it prevents us from drinking water and save our water and at the same time cool us down. normally, after crossing the river, everyone's morale is very very low because we are all wet, from our head to toe, everyone hates it when their underwear is wet but this time, i can feel that everyone don't give a shit as we all just wanna get through it over and can't wait to finish it. my stretcher was happily collecting water for me to add in more loads.

everyone was so glad that the last mission is over! on the way back to the parade square in tekong, everyone seems to be taking their own sweet time as we don't seems to give a shit to any instructions. haha! so in the end we all got a lecture. we quickly change into new sets of uniforms and had our debrief. as we wait for our ferry back to Singapore, everyone waited impatiently. in the ferry, everyone slept well though it is only for like half and hour ride on the ferry. as our feet touches Singapore, the buses was already waiting for us! we took our time to board the bus and headed home to PLC. we all slept for an hour in the bus. it was a comfortable sleep.

as we reach camp. everyone did their part by cleaning up the outfield stuff. and we booked out at 7pm. though its late, everyone still book out, eager to go home. as the saying goes, HOME SWEET HOME!

Embarking into a new journey

as my course continue, the amount of time for me to sleep is getting lesser and lesser. the amount of water that i am suppose to drink also cut down tremendously. I'm lacking water in my body and thus, I'm sick now. just the 3rd day alone, i have gotten throat infection and flu. though its not killing me, it is irritating me a lot.


i wonder how long must i sleep to cover back the hours i missed sleeping. my eyes were like popping out and often getting tired easier now in the morning especially. every now and than will keep yawning and yawning a lot.

hope everything is going the right way now for me and hope no one will hinder me my clearing my debts as of now. yesterday i nearly had a quarrel with one of my friend over MLM stuff. where got such good things as find 2 friends to join under me and earn 9k every month? to me its a con because the top people get everything and they will be asking you to bring in more people and their pocket will grow fatter! i don't know if he is new to MLM or what but i hope he wont get cheated.

my prayers to God;
Dear almighty God, full of grace, i really hope my path will be
cleared
from obstacles as of now so that i can clear my debts in time and in
peace!
and i also hope that the weather will be better these
days, the weather can make one fall sick easily and i am
falling
sick already! please please don't make me fall sick. i know you know
that i have
a tough body but that does not means that i have no weak point. please
spare me and everyone a thought. thank you. with my humble heart i pray to
you,
Amen.
i hope after this prayers, everything will be fine and i will be able to lead my normal life again.
btw, i have friends selling customised polo t shirt designs and men's T-shirt. do quote my name and i hope you will have a cheaper price.

Leadership camp

i was away for course on 2 weeks and i have learn a lot of new things throughout the course. a very fruitful one but it's sad that we have to go on out own ways as the course ended. now i have embark into another level of training, which i think it will be over very fast. i HOPE it will be fast! it will be a 4 week not enough sleep course! damn!

hope i don't have to spend much on "unnecessary" items as i am now very tight on my budget. I'm so tight with my budget till i have to ask help from friends... its just not me... i felt uneasy borrowing from others and now i also have fear lending to others. i wonder when can i finish clearing my debts and have sufficient money to save up?

should i work in restaurants to gain experience?
or should i stay a little longer in the army?

hmmmmm......

should i or should i not? choosing friends carefully

wilson has agreed to pay me back SGD7000 and SGD1000 every month but he failed. he cut his line shortly after he agreed to pay me that amount. being so proud, he actually hurt my pocket, trust and friendship with him because of the way he treat me. i have endured him a lot but today, i have to let it out. he's really a jerk that only knows how to smoke, play game and NOT FIND A JOB! as he say i want to find a job that will suit me.

why didnt i saw that clearly before i agree to help him? i regretted a lot by helping this jerk! played my money real bad and made me into unnecessory debts. now i have to souce out the money by myself and clear them myself. some kinda friend he is!

but the more important thing is,

should i get back from him by knocking at his door?
should i pity him or not?
should i give him a longer time to pay back?
should i forgive and forget????????

please leave your comments as i am really stuck in a spot.

The stone hurts, but i see my friends giving me first aid!

*BANG* the stone drop hard on me every month, and this month was the worst! as i was on course now and i still need to buy some stupid stuff. so sad...

i got to know some new friends over there and i was really happy to know them. i hope that even after the course has ended, we will still be able to find time for some outing and hope that all will be able to come. we had lots of fun during the 2 weeks and i have also learn a lot of things even though some of the lessons are really boring and dry.

before the course starts, my unit always like to find trouble with other units at the guard room but after this course, i will do my best to stop this rubbish as of now.

the bills came flooding my mailbox and all were like going to overdue and yet i still cant think of a solution. i was real stress... thanks wilson, you busted me!
