the thing about army is that everything is decided by the hour, no by the minute, no correction, we live by the second here.. till the eleventh hour there is still no confirmation on whether or not i have to go for my scout course which really irks me!
good thing is that i have release permission to book out once i get the green light.. it's kinda sad coz then i mightn't be able to say a proper goodbye to the guys here who ive been wif for the past four months, they are all outfield you see.. im ok with the recruits but the fellas in the roving team that came over from tekong to gombak with me are a bunch i'll never forget.. let see, theres dazril the 'chindian', azman the 'minah killer', saiyaan the 'fat bitch', kennard the 'cutsie boy', chan the 'ord personnel', izman the 'perpetually concussed smoking mat-dgen', james the 'sex obsessed giant', andrew the 'potato', and tim, well tim is jus tim haha.. and of cuz theres me the 'stone' haha.. we were a crazy band of fun-loving dudes, evenings at al-ameen eating nasi goreng pataya while downing milo dinosaur, nights playing 'dai di' or 'super-bastard' while munchin chumpok chumpok, eating breakfast in the canteen laughin about 'auntie ayu's daughter' a.k.a mango, cuz she always wore the same mango tshirt except in diferent colours haha.. thats school-boy fun for ya! then of cuz theres the serious workside.. the days of back to back duties due to manpower shortages were tough, lotza stuff to do lotza things to handle.. n of cuz the physical training, the swimming, runs on alternate days reaching up to 16 km! but then again we always found the fun in the runs since we ran around the bukit panjang neighbourhood haha.. maann those were the days.. ive learnt a lot here and its been a good experience; ive learnt dat in life, ya never know what to expect, and if situations are thrown at ya, ya just gotta grit ya teeth and work thru it! well, we used to encourage one another saying 'it's only gonna be four months! it's only gonna be four months!' then it became three, then two, then one, now we're left with a week.. sadly it seems like my show here is done, prematurely at that.. so long fellas! until we meet again! thanks for the fun and support!

heyya~!
haha why does God always immediately throw a bulldozer in ya face everytime you've just been hit by a shovel? mann.. my life is really unpredictable.. and in a way its beginning to suck.. too many things happening much too fast! im still not sure wats going on but i was selected to go for the second phase of the scout course and ive jus been told that they want me to report on monday.. i thought i'd get by the system since i was attached out but apparently they tracked me down.. for those who know, i went for the first phase earlier this year, and though it was a good experience its one i really don wanna relive haha.. the last time i had everything going for it, i wanted the coveted jungle hat to prove myself! but now i've jus simply too much to lose if i go and i don wanna lose any of it.. like now, when i should be outside for someone else im freakin stuck in camp! sigh.. i so much wanted to fail my medical this time (unlike the last) but there was simply nothing wrong with me! yeah i was tempted to fake it, i could have, but should i really? i dunno, is pride and integrity actually worth anything? does anyone actually give a damn? i mean theres a really thin line between being a hero and a fool.. who respects a fool? if i go, i have a meagre day to prepare everything because i can only be released on saturday afternoon, i have to report on monday morning.. man.. i dun wanna go.. but if i have to i guess ive jus gotta.. stupid army eh! hehheh..

Sunday, September 05, 2004 this has definitely been the worst week of my ENTIRE life.. its like, a dynamite blowing up in my face and now im licking my wounds haha.. rash decisions made, people hurt.. wat the heck! we still live on right? but seriously why do stuff like this happen? guess its all 'tian1 yi4' la huh haha.. here's a poem that never fails to speak volumes to me.. thanx good ol' rudy haha..
[IF] If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you But make allowance for their doubting too, If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream--and not make dreams your master, If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much, If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son! --Rudyard Kipling |
