Cleared

2009-04-29T22:05:00.000-07:00

There it is. After 18 months. I've cleared it.
But why is there a tingling sensation of unhappiness in it.
Only time will tell.

Many things happened this past month. I am just so shagged out that typing was a real chore to me. Just lying on my bed and chilling is already a luxury.

Somehow, most soldiers' life turn better as their ORD date approaches. What I'm trying to say is that they have lesser things to do, thus clearing offs and such. At this point of time, I though to myself, the previous sentence just sounded weird. Grammatically incorrect. Whatever, I'm just too mentally exhausted to think about anything.

As some of you might know, I just finished my last OPs duty at Sembawang Wharves on the 24th of March. Have been in camp ever since, following a standard 5 day week. Well guess what, camp life sucks. And I do mean sucks do badly.

We did ACCT. Advance Close Combat Training. Ok that wasn't so bad. Rather it was quite fun but extremely exhausting. Getting thrown on your neck and hips is not a joking matter. Defense against rifle techniques was one of the nicer segments to me personally.

Then guess what, we had vest slack runs a few times a week. In the darn morning, even before breakfast. Shitness. And more runs in the morning and afternoon. On average it was about 5-8km a day. Do your math and realise we actually covered distance from Jurong to Pasir Ris.

And then that leads to my injury. Took IPPT last wed and after the 2.4km, there was a really sharp pain in my left shin. Well, it was actually quite normal, I mean that had happened for the past few months but I simply ignored it. However, this time it seemed to have worsen. Then I visited the MO in camp.

2 Weeks excuse until 15th
16th X-ray
And also another MMI appointment.

Oh ya another shitness.
I might not be going Taiwan. Was thrown to being a reserve JUST BECAUSE I was faithfully doing OPs and had my photograph taken at a later date. Talk about good staff management.

11 more days

2009-03-09T00:07:00.001-07:00

11 more duty days for me to get out of the shithole.
The people there are fine but it is just so darn boring when I'm resting.
12 hours alone in my bunk. Freaking bored.
Time to book in man.
I wan to play Killzone 2.

The 22th of Feb

2009-02-21T23:47:00.000-08:00

Spent the past 2 days at home. What a way to spend my precious off days.
A very high chance that I would be going Taiwan this coming May to June. Not for holidays or vacation but for an Army excercise. All expense paid trip, free food, free lodging and free transport. Shall see how it goes when the time approaches.

Will be heading over to DblO this coming 28th. Anyone interested in joining do let me know.
March is gonna be a sad sad month for me. Gonna be freaking deployed at SW.

I give up

2009-02-16T07:19:00.001-08:00

You know what, I give up. Blogger is not allowing me to change the template for this very page. Keeping it to default for now. Let's just see how it goes for now.

Anyway for those that who have heard and those who haven't. I FINALLY got myself a PS3. Yay-ness~ Got it quite a deal, really satisfied. Going back to consoles after an absence for such a long time just feels so refreshing. Refreshing? you ask. I can explain. Reason, I'm finally out of my damn bedroom, doing something else in the living room.

Currently, I'm playing 4 games. Street Fighter IV (YES!), Dead Space, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune as well as Metal Gear Solid 4 (woots). Yes, I'm becoming geekier by the day. First toys, now games. I think I may very well need nerd glasses next, maybe add a little suspenders to hold up my pants.

Time to fall in.
Off to DOTA.
