+integrity problems.+

the final week of may was rather short compared to others because for the whole week, we were only extricating, i.e. playing real life counter strike - both rescueing casualities and capturing flags. it was definitely fun playing but this game requires both teamwork and the ability to move quickly in a building. i had lots of fun, though my team won one and lost the other. we managed to gel just enough in both games, but still, theres room for improvement.

if you haven been informed, we have already passed our test, the test of being together as a platoon and setting up a deployment ready to treat many many casualties. the appointment of certain personalities caused different mixed reactions. we were either unhappy with the decision, or pissed off with the changes he made after being appointed. you know how people change in order to climb higher up the hierachy ladder. and so the problem became so obvious that our sarge and the higher ranked officiers come to know about it. what a big fuss. its a small problem, we feel, which could be solved rather easily by trashing it out, but it blew up into something so huge. whatever it is, the problem has been put behind and taken into account that we have put our differences behind for a new start to face the many arduous tasks ahead.

saturday was short. another dancing trip at MoS this time round. wasnt a pleasant experience, but the music's the best i guess. space was always a constrain in the 40k sq ft area. lots of MS and IS around.

next week gonna get confined. and definitely more stories in camp im sure. in june we'll meet.

+adore. fun. groove+

this weekend is a very short one. we had to put integrity into practice, thats why. despite being short, i guess i'd enjoyed myself more this week compared to other friday bookout moments. two movies over these past few days, one sucked, the other one was the exact enactment of the novel.

the da vinci code on friday with my platoon mates when we had our nights off. 2.5 hours can be such an enduring time to pass by, especially when you hit light off timing. i only managed to finish 80% of the tome, but i could see the reenactment of every description of the fiction acted by the crew. maybe this show brought several disagreements which i think, dan brown is a fuckin' intelligent man to have written something related to something which already existed. religion is an exceptionally sensative topic, i guess we'll just have to keep mum about expressing how we feel towards it. talk about it over coffee can lah, dun go publish it everywhere else.

the second movie, poseidon, with my poly kakis at the new cathay building. only been there a couple of times, but recently more shops are open, and im sure it'll soon be hip to chill around douby ghaut. anyhows, i find this show sucky because it reminds me of titanic. yes, everything about it didnt appeal to me. if you really have the cash, go donate to charity please. or buy some tissues from the auntie at your nearest mrt station.

after the movie we actually went dancing at o bar. what a new experience clubbing at mohammud sultan because i havent been there before. most of us actually thought it wasnt that fun chilling there, except for the very very cheap drinks there. its like buying water there la. its at that fucking reduced price we kept on drinking. well everyone knows that already i guess, because imagine a 21 year old going to dbl o for the first time and ranting all about it on his blog. that sounds so stupid to me =[

+finally operational ready+

now that we've worked so hard for the whole week, what does it mean for us really? simply put, we've turned operational ready. bluntly speaking, we've got ourselves into more shit because its always more happy training and doing what is planned instead of holding the responsibility to start the brainy work.

where do we go from here den? nowhere really. maybe just one more step towards our passing out as trainees, but that still a far 2 months or so. training, is just like the way we've thought it to be, meaningless yet mandatory at the same time. the process of going through may be tough and demoralising at times, but it harbours platoon spirit and integrity as well.

over the week, we celebrated a couple of birthdays in camp, including yours truly. the joy of having a female companion to deliver the cake over to camp and singing the birthday song with the entire platoon. it started to ring a bell to me about finding a companion, just like the little agreement with my bunk mates. turning legal means a whole lot more den just having a few friends singing happy birthdays and enjoying yourselves in the bunk having your birthday bashes. i guess i'll have to work harder on holding the responsibilites and making wiser decisions. maybe i should pick up reading again. it calms and tames me down a little from the regimental army life. and to those who are celebrating their big days in may, happy birthday! p.s. stadium arcadium is sweet!

+camp politics+

the crash course of activation drills were done on monday. our memorable beret day. it was normal because we had to do what we were used to doing for the past few days, but it added abit of solemness to it, plus a little less time to accomplish the task given to us. together with some whacking, we were finally through with our major event. it was defintely a brand new experience having able to earn and don the beret, and definitely, i know we will wear it with pride.

if you haven heard, my unit is trying to push us for serious business before the 20th. i dont really think its possible, but im certain with the people around me to push me along, i might just pull through this arduous tasks. this bunch of people have been with me since our combat medic days, with only a handful joining us after that course due to merging from other platoons. these are the brothers that i will spend my 16 months more till i eventually ORD.

we were happily training together for a good 10 weeks or so, and they had to split us up into teams, of ten or five depending what roles you were given. the worst kind of things that could ever happen is putting you with some bustards you cant really work with, i know that is inevitable. you cant please every single fuck out there. thats life, seriously.

how does it really help putting you with another foe? you fight over little ikan bilis stuff, cant concentrate on your work, get yourself more angry and pissed off, which really affects your appetite. you create barriers around yourself, shutting sound advice from your close friends, and eventually, you find yourself all lonesome and sad again. it sounds sucky, but which part of reality sounds pleasant anyway?

im not thinking coherently again.. i shall blog again if i have the mood to..

+elections talk+

the first ever time politics sounds and looks as interesting as a soccer match, is when the elections are around the corner. i must admit i never liked politics, the way ministers talk, how our future would be, how the economy would grow and prosper etc. i thought life was made wonderful for me since the day i was born. of course, that is so very immature thinking i used to harbour.

today is the elections since the last one in 2001. having gone to the rallies with my parents, listening to different parties rant about their advantages, putting down the rest, talk about what they can offer to the people, its really intriguing to experience the sight because you see so many people cheering them on even though they dont really understand what the fuck is going on.

again, im pissed with not being able to come into this world a year earlier to be able to vote officially. the first incident was the progress package which we werent able to draw $800 from the govt. $700 is hell alot of difference. thats two months' pay! and as the time passes while you're reading this, remember to cast your votes to whom you think can make a better life for you and for me, and those around you..

+long labour day weekend+

im beginning to feel so lazy to log on to blogger to write a simple entry of late. sometimes getting my arse out of the house would sound too troublesome for me. but ironically, i haven grown any fatter.

how has the long weekend been guys? mine hasnt been much of a surprise, the usual things i do during the week basically sums it all up. well this past week was full of mixed feelings, first was the release of the different teams which we might end up being in for the next year or so. well, no surprises for me i guess, i should be in team 1. but several names appearing in team 2 should be in other teams which suited them more i feel. but who better is to make the difficult decisions than our saddistic yet cool-headed force sarge.

this breakdown of the 35 of us into different teams would tear us apart after having bonded rather well for so long, since the medic course days, to the basic conversion course for the past 7-8 weeks or so.. but we totally can understand what the seniors want us to achieve at the end of everything - to be able to work with every single one of the guys in the company, and not within our own cliques. and that is to say working with some of the very arrogant individuals who think they are so darn good; rendering the rest, useless. there are of course, some of those who are weaker in beliefs, some of us whose thinking of national service are not that strong, and there are those who trust someone more than another. mixt all these different people together, you either find a bunk with totally no life, or you find animosity, and fights in them. i want neither of these of course, its somehow inevitable.

the next bad news we received over the week was the possiblity of specialists course for us to be reduced to only 25%-30% of us being able to be selected, instead of 100% for the past ten platoons. there were much cursing and swearing at everyone after that, yours truly being one of the hot-headed ones blowing his top of at one of his bunk mates. sorry man, for doing that, you know we all feel sore after hearing that. after all, specialist course was what motivates most of us to go into this unit for the rest of our national service, and the thought of having a meagre amount of cash for another 15 months sucks.

may is finally here. that means good bye to stupid crappy movies and hello blockbusters! with at least one good show screening per week this month, i think i wont have bucks left in me to spend for the GSS! and i have foolishly signed up for guard duty on mother's day. please dun remind me that mother's day is coming man, the thought of spending the weekend before my 21st in camp sucks so much already..
