Currently on the train to book in. I think I should admit that I have been super lazy to blog. In camp, I thought to myself that I will spend time at home to do it using my com but it's always easier said than done.. I guess one other reason is due to my mentality that the inscrutable lag my com has makes it rather hard to blog.Still, I shall take some time now to share about this week.
After a reasonably long break from army before the new year commenced, I finally booked in last Sunday morning to serve my extra duty before the rest of my platoon came later on at night.
Didn't have a good rest before the first week of 2015 began as I probably messed up my body clock days before. I thanked God that I was suddenly informed by my encik that I need not participate with the rest in the morning speed training. As such, I rested in bunk, feeling somewhat unsettled for some reasons though. For the rest of the day, I spent in on preparing my field pack for our ops manning. It's so tedious. I had to buy new items and ensure everything looked brand new and tidy. At night after dinner and RO, my unit conducted a force preparation. It's two draggy hours long and I can attest to the fact that it's the first time after so long since BMT that force preparation turned out this long. My encik actually went to each individual to inspect his items and layout until the last person of the unit was checked. How ironic that he expected the drills to be quick yet the inspection took up majority of the time extensively.
Tuesday was rather lepak as we spent the morning doing gym. Did nothing much productive and as usual, I still couldn't use the equipment productively and correctly. Lack of guidance. The only gyms that I probably frequented the most then were the ones in Pokemon as I spent my Sunday completing Fire Red. Lack of guidance and motivation. I can't remember what we did for the rest of the day.
Was so relieved that Wednesday SOC in the morning wasn't for the platoon. I casually remarked that I would rather have out field than SOC. While it may be out of impulse, it still underlies the reluctance in me to embrace SOC due to the height elements which I dread the most. I know I can't escape it forever but at least I need not do it earlier. Hahah. Then there's a draggy talk by my encik on Regimentation & Discipline which took up half of the afternoon. Amused that even without his prepared slides, he could go on for hours. The self-introduction session thereafter was somewhat great though.
Didn't sleep well. Yet the team building lecture which stretched across Thursday morning with the entire camp commanders kept me awake and entertained. The speaker known as Jeffrey Goh was quite witty. Casual look up on him in the NET revealed that he also did write several Christian related articles which I have saved and not read yet. Soon. Enjoyed the session. In the afternoon, there's a mediation session involving me. Hahah I hope both parties are sincere. Then we booked out at night amid the heavy downpour. Thank God there's a sudden bus available for us to bring everyone to the gate!
Friday morning kicked off with a prawning session for the cohesion event organised by my training institute. All superiors were there and I arrived early. Took some shots of the scenery there. Thereafter, I spent nearly 3 hours sitting at the same spot and doing the same stance in hope that the prawns were on bait. I managed to catch around 8 in the end. Overall, it's a great eye opener for me to prawning and realise that prawns actually have claws. Lol. Slow. Have been eating them all along yet I'm clueless about how they really looked. They actually BBQ the prawns afterwards. At first, I was reluctant in tasting cos' the entire episode felt so morbid. Still, I took some courage to try it. It's rather good hahah. The session ended with an impromptu pool game with my OC and my platoon. Was totally thrashed by him. It's an awesome morning.
Bought KOI from NEX before returning home. I suddenly recalled that there's band practice in the afternoon. After some lazing around at home doing nothing productive, I headed to SR to visit the band. All I could see was unfamiliar faces. Still, I was surprised to be greeted by two juniors who are still there. And also spoken to Mr Yang while meeting him as he was leaving the campus. While it's a mere one hour, I felt satisfied playing the clarinet again. Caught up with sir and Miss R for awhile too. Grateful that they allowed me to borrow a clarinet home hahah. Really missed the school and people.
The trip back to NET was a chore as I had to carry my bag drenched in KOI together with my stand and nettlesome case lol. I waited for the rest below Qianhui's block to surprise Joycelyn together. Played with the cats there and got scratched by one of them out of a sudden. Unscathed though but I was super unhappy with him as I have not been scratched since 7 years old? Now I know which cats to be more weary of heheh. When more people arrived, we did a foolish yet hilarious move by greeting an uncle whom we thought was the dad of some of us there. The surprise was successfully and net was awesome as usual. There's finally a full net attendance! Good start to 2015.
Bickering welcomed Saturday yet I thank God things got better afterwards. I woke up early around 830 to get myself prepared to meet Michael & Luke at M's house. I don't usually wake up at such unearthly hour on a Saturday for a gathering but I also don't wanna waste my morning sleeping away. It's a great morning with the group as we had Ya Kun for breakfast before heading to M's place for some music making and a swim. The latter was quite impromptu but worthwhile hahah. Luke and I then had ramen for lunch and I regretted topping up lol. Did something for a nearby SG50 campaign at ION which got us printed copies of the sketches we made on ourselves for the event. We then visited the sky park which was spectacular. Departed around 430 and I was feeling so sleepy.
Headed to Edge at Tampines after that and was slightly late. Sermon was on Arise and the altar call encouraged me that I can rise up to conquer the things of the world. Met Melwin for dinner after that before reaching home. Sad that GBA4IOS couldn't work when I wanna continue my favourite megaman hais. X
Overslept for Sunday service and had lunch at home before slacking the afternoon away. Played some audi then my clarinet before sorting out some of the worksheets I did in secondary 1 & 2?! Quite shocked that they are still at home. Found some funny essays I wrote too. Had QT and watched a short special pokemon movie on Mystery Dungeon before packing up to book in. Bought some items from ntuc too.
So..right now after an hour of typing, I just bought myself McDonald's for dinner and now walking in to my camp. Overall, this week has been a rather smooth sailing one. Better than expected. Thank God that relationship has improved and greater understanding is built. Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I am going Taiwan this March after opting out when there're limited slots. Will talk about this again.
...and I'll try my best to write a post on my resolution on 2015 and reflection on 2014 too. Too lazy. I guess it's already obvious what I need to improve on after writing this..
