9th bookout le... 1 more nxt weekend and den 1 more on tues and den POP le!!! time really flies sia...

the last week nothing much really... except for ippt... n yep, i failed yet again... so im destined to me a men all the way... lolz... chin up tat 1 really no need say den sbj even more jialat... deprove alot... cannot jump at all sia... knee cap super pain... mostly thanks to all the soc jumping and drills...

hmm... got things i really wanna rant out... dun care even if this is seen by the person... motivating pple... how do u really go about doing that??? diff pple has diff ways of motivating pple... and one has to know that his/her methods dun neccessary work on everyone... take for example, threatening pple to motivate them... for me, i think it only works on young kids and not on mature pple... one has to learn which motivating skills to use on which grp of pple... if u use the wrong one, pple might just get the wrong idea and in the end, all the efforts hav gone to waste... well, its just my opinions though...

putting in effort... how do u tell whether anot someone has put in effort anot... well, u cant... u juz hav to believe the person... its no use saying the person nvr put in effort when he has give it his best and den condemning the person afterwards... its totally pointless unless the reason is given...

anyway, nxt week gonna be a tough week... soc on monday, bac on tues, with lots of drills practise on both days coz wed is drills competition... den thurs games day.... fri most xiong of all... 24km graduation route march... endure it thru and den can pop le...

nice song n mtv!!!

8th bookout le... left 2 more bookout and thats it... POP loh... the past week has been a very tiring and hectic week...

had our SIT Test on monday... in order to get to the SIT test site, we had to go thru a 12km route march... now that was a killer... main reason being the freaking hot sun shining down on us... really struggle thru seh... especially the last 4km... was literally dragging myself to move... nearly fainted as well... felt a sudden blackout for like 10 seconds and then when i finally get back to senses, i was falling towards the side already... thank god i manage to endure thru... 2nd day 4km fast march was also a killer... had to rifle over head and walk for 2km with sgt aidil by the side screaming at u asking u to give up... nope, nvr gonna happen... no matter wat i will endure all the way i tell myself... as for the actual SIT test itself, it was fun... met new pple from other platoon... got a new buddy for 3 days as well in desmond... echo detail was great... lolz... den i happen to have to most easy assignment... mine clearing... meaning i only hav to carry bayonet with me while others like medic hav to carry stretcher... lolz... but overall, it was a good experience... think i learnt quite a great deal during the 3 days...

den friday... 16km route march... before the march begins, i was thinking to myself will the march be like the 12km on monday which i nearly fall out... but after walking, the 16km was great!!! mainly coz there was no 12pm sun shining down on us and of coz the whole platoon was in high spirits... lolz... plus there was a 1 hr rest + dinner at old sispec after the 1st 12km... so that was helpful... den on the 4km back, it was fast march all the way and we manage to keep up with the front platoon... and best of all, no one fall out...

so march a total of about 34km in one week... and now my feet are full of blisters here and there... damn pain sia when walking around... well, no pain no gain they say...

booking in again later... now not so sianz le... coz no more outfield le...

on a sidenote, anyone wanna come my POP ceremony???

SBJ n chin-ups again... haiz... i dun think i will ever be able to clear this 2 stations...

highlight of the last week was probably the hand grenade live throw... its was quite interesting though and u only get to throw it once in your 2 yrs in army... so ya... that was a good experience...

Im back finally after being confine the previous week becoz of field camp... not much mood to blog so i shall juz leave a short summary of what happen during field camp...

1st day of coz was the 8km route march to the camp site itself... that more or less shag me out already... reached campsite, pitched our bashas and then proceed for lessons in IFC... nothing much really... learn abt fire movements and stuffs thru the first 4 days when we were at the 1st campsite... got tekan abit here and there as well including a thunderstorm from our OC... den 5th day morning was turn out at 4 in the morning to break up iur bashas and to march to our new campsite... at the new campsite, finally tasted what it is like sleeping in the wild... but ok la... prickly heat scares off all the insects... den 6th day was trench digging... now that was xiong... super tiring juz to dig your own shellscrape man... den last day... march to BIC ground, crawl finish the battle field with mg firing at you and field camp is over!!!

dunno y im feeling very down nowadays... dunno whats happening to me... it seems like i have become another person... im no longer the old me... no longer the guy who always speaks with confidence and one who always do things according to his way... seems like i dun hav the motivation to do things now... its so unlike me... i seriously got no idea y im feeling this way and its not sudden... its been like tat for quite a while already... command school to me is a far far distance from me already with me still failing my ippt... i used to be not bothered abt my critics and bad press abt me... but noe, every little word seems to hurt me... i dunno y... y did i become so weak suddenly... has army changed me???

i need my confidence back and i need it now... but how...
