Not dead.

This post is just to let people know that I am still maintaining this blog and that it is not dead - yet. I simply didn't bother to write blogposts regularly since I left for Taiwan, that's all.

Countdown... 5 weeks left to commissioning.

In the blink of an eye

Been a while since I last blogged.. these days I hardly spared the thought to maintain this blog. Maybe because I've too many other distractions? Or maybe because there's too little incentive to come back here and write a short post...

Time has really flown. I'm flying off to Taiwan end of this week for Ex Starlight. Now that I think of it, it only feels like yesterday that I just completed JCC... where did all the weeks go, really.

Still worried about OOC-ing. My PC demands high standards, and my biggest worry... is that I will not be good enough to meet them. Regardless, that won't stop me trying my best..

Ahhh!

One of my cousins just got married. Attended his solemnization ceremony at Sentosa earlier this evening.

13 weeks left to commissioning... hopefully I'll pull through this.

SO MUCH HOMEWORK.

Patience is the key. Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

Countdown

Today (or yesterday, rather), I booked out at night. Was an usher for 74/08 batch's commissioning parade... It must really feel damn good to finally commission after 38 weeks of training.

And now that 75/09 batch is the most senior batch, my countdown to commissioning begins. 3 months to go...

Just pray that I don't OOC.

Internship

Sometimes training takes a short break - this time is one such example.

Shall just make a couple of short comments on this post.

Did Saturday CDS duty last weekend. Did it with Chan.. was quite enjoyable actually - apart from the assignment. =(

This week is internship week, so tempo is slightly slower. No, actually a lot slower, because the pace in the unit is like so much more relaxed than in OCS (except for outfields).

So far, I would say that this internship has been a real eye-opener to what unit life is like. Though it isn't exactly well-planned, and there were lots of gaps in between activities, at least we managed to get some takeaways from this experience... talking to the PCs, PSs, and SCs was also very useful.

I should be writing down a set of personal reflections for this internship package, but the bo-chap side of me is just telling me not to bother. Besides, what's most important is the experience and knowledge you take home after this one-week attachment, not what you pen down on paper to show your instructors. What's the point in writing a page of crap for submission when you didn't actually learn anything? That is, of course, if one CHOOSES not to learn anything. -.-

Anyway, shall end it here. Charlie-Hotel batch commissioning this Saturday. How nice...

... and Delta is pulled in to "help out". There goes my Saturday - again.

Booking in tonight at 2130. This week's gonna be a short week in camp before I book out again. Must find something interesting to do this weekend... apart from re-packing my FBO items.

Sometimes, effort alone is not enough. Perhaps an element of luck is needed... and affinity maybe? Nonetheless, it's tedious work. But if I don't try, I will never know, right?

Next week, internship begins. Hopefully I won't get put into a Guards unit. >.>

JCC upon my chest.
Show them we are the best.

Brunei's finally over and behind me. Thank God.

What next... ROC!

And after ROC would be CSB and SumEx and then it'll be joint term!

Wow time will certainly fly.

I just hope that I will be ready for the final day...

I'm gone.

And that's the thing about working in the armed forces. At the end of the day, when you return home, no one's gonna come to you and pat you on the back and say "Thank you for defending the nation, my boy!" When you go leave the camp, no one will be able to fully appreciate the amount of sweat you've shed over training. It doesn't work that way.

6 hours countdown... going to my granny's house to have dinner, before heading to the airport.

... be back on 30 Aug.

I will leave here

Less than 12 hours to go...

I hope I will not be missed.

30 Aug... here I come.

No wait, what the hell am I saying?

JCC badge, here I come. x)

Gonna make it happen

Slightly more than 24 hours left... maybe I should start meditating for the rest of the time before I fly off.

Random note: I FINALLY MASTERED HOLIDAY ISLAND. =D

Maybe I should start planning my strategy for JCC.. so that I won't screw up in Brunei. I just hope that I don't have to do a CPT Sherwayn... >.>

Yesterday was fun. Can't believe that it has been our 2nd year anniversary. =D
