Finally the day is nearing, the privates are coming in on monday. im going to be the sect comd for section 4. i do not noe how their characters are but im going to make the best of it for them.
"Tough times do not last, tough men do" quoted from my bmt teaching for our platoon. we always had to shout that phrase before we water paraded.
training wing as per scheduled by my pc ends mid or late november. im just glad coz december is gonna be a busy month for me. sister's wedding and maybe overseas trip with friends. gavin asked me to go taiwan with his family, wang planning to go viet-cambodia and then even bangkok. there's so much things to do within a limited time frame.
had footrot for the past few days and it was unbearable. i remembered running ahm with footrot and from there it got even worse coz i didnt aired my feet as often as i can. after the 40sar stage 2 evaluation it got worst. i had difficulties walking but i still went out. haha...i cant stay cooped at home. i need to see the outside life.
getting more and more lazy to blog as i dun haf anything much to rant. life it seems....so dull?anybody can lift my spirits up?

There's no new specs from the new grads of sispec! and that means we are short of specs in ATEC as well as the 4 of us that were posted to ATEC few months back haf to take the trainees for the upcoming training wing. and so i will be busy acting as instructor cum section commander for the upcoming batch that will be coming from bmtc. at first we werent in the running for the training wing as the new specs will take them, but since there's no new specs, we haf to just well take them. ATEC is really short of specs now i must say. once i leave from the weapon's platoon, there will be just 2 specs there. one for the pioneer and one for hmg/aask.
they will start coming on the 16th but i reckon they will report to ATEC on the 18th as 16th is on sat. anyway we had 21km army half marathon at padang last week. the whole lot of ATEC participated in the gruelling 21km run and im soo fully satisfied that i've run the race thru willpower and determination. i clocked 2h28mins for the race. didnt even stop one sec thruout the race. there were many water points and i just took isotonics from them. the weather was nice and we started off early at 0530. there were so many ppl that it was too congested to run at certain points. it was very frenzy. met frndz from different units and some chics too..haha...i used to think that 2.4km was hard enuf last time but i guessed that was all in the past. this 21km run has made 2.4km so dirt easy. i cudnt believe that i ran 21km, it was like a dream. got a medal coz i completed the run within 2h45mins! the last 500m was torturous. my left leg was in pain but i still continued jogging. in the end all the efforts paid off tremendously and i was just glad that everything was over. imagine if u walked thruout the whole race, i bet u will reach in 4hrs. tat's obnoxious right? so might as well get it over done with and can relax earlier. suddenly running seems like some part of enjoyment to me.
well there's standard chartered 42km race at the end of the yr. one of my pcs has asked the specs whether we want to participate in it. imagine 42km....woah...that's like level 100 running!owning!haha...anyway i dun tink i will be participating in that due to training wing commitments. as for now i just want my 2.4km timing to improve to a gold standard. my fastest was 10:11mins. taking considerations from my 21km performance, i tink i can just push my 2.4km timing to a better record.
shucks i haf to book in on sun morning as i have COS duty on that day. worse still is that im having another evaluation next week. moving out on tues and ends on fri. maybe i just get to book out only at nite.damn it. i need a haircut and that's what im going to do tmr.
politics is everywhere! y do ppl haf to backstab mates in camp? y do some ppl just bully the helpless? im bothered by what's happening and i just cudnt stand it. when they need ur help, they will be nice to u. fuck that. i have never lost my temper before thruout my army life and maybe thruout my life but maybe i haf to enrol myself into anger management class...i just haf to let it all out. well there's 2 punching bags in my camp gym but i dun haf much time to go there soon. enuf bout this.
im a one yr soldier this month! wohoo! and that means one more yr to go! time flies so fast and i cudnt hope for any faster. i just want to get out of regimental style. u gotta be kidding to ask me to cut my hair botak again! haha..not! i wun be having botak hairstyle for the rest of my ns life anymore. hmm...gotta start planning what i wanna do after i ord!
