A post from camp!

1 more hour to lights out. IPPT tomorrow. Pray to God that this time I won't mess up my chances at silver.

If I do 8 chin-ups tomorrow, I swear I'll run my lungs out.

But hell, it's still a looong way to go to gold...

It's ironic how the more I understand my feelings, the more it begins to fade. I guess logic has a cruel way of dissolving one's wonderland away.

Back to camp. Again.

Booking in. Again.

AHH SO SIAN.

I just hope that the new life as a pro term cadet will prove to be far more interesting than service term...

Oh man...

The last book out felt so different. The group was small, unfamiliar, restrained. The songs were the same, but had a different air about it. The march was the same, yet the steps didn't feel as light and refreshing as the ones weeks before. The road ahead remains the same as that of countless batches before, yet stays unfamiliar and ever-daunting. The familiar faces, now all gone, to be replaced by nameless figures that require a whole new approach. A core remains, but nothing to re-create the magic that once lingered in the body.

Welcome to pro term, gents. 21 weeks of pure pain.

Heading for the purple light in the valley

She wears it for the soldier who wears the green beret...

Perhaps it was fated to be as such. No matter. I will endure, and stand proud after another 6 months.

24 more weeks... *groans*


I swear I've really been down on my luck for the past few days. Just hoping that we would not hit the worst case scenario...

1 more week in Service term

Social night this wednesday.

Brunei next Sunday (if I go support arms).

IPPT tomorrow... *gulps*

Somehow I am suddenly wishing that I took NUS medicine and disrupted NS, but oh well, I guess this is the wrong motivation to study the course anyway. Come to think of it, I would be flabbergasted if there had been any cadets who took medicine for the sake of disruption. It's just... stupid and childish.

Never mind. I shall not read too much.

Book in at 2300. xD

Becoming seniors

OK, Scorpion King is over. Glad it is.

1 more week till end of Service Term...

1 more IPPT - that will make or break me.

Just hope I don't get dropped for some stupid reason.

Posting out on Monday...

"Speed through Skills!" *dreams*

Ah whatever.

I'll take Ros's advice and post song lyrics on my blog to keep it "alive".

LINKIN PARK - LEAVE OUT ALL THE REST

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I made

I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are

Blackmarked

This blog is going dead faster than I expected. Ah well. I'll just keep it here as long as possible, till I have the time and energy to revive it.

6 more months... if I make it till then, that is.

Just trying to chill out

I remember black skies
The lightning all around me
I remembered each flash
As time began to blur
Like a startling sign that fate has finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason to prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fail this all and connect the space between
Let it feel the notes to reach the truth and lies
Across this new divide

Theirs nothing inside the memories left abandoned
Their was no one to high The ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in between where we was standing

And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To Prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the flood cross the distance in your eyes
Across this new divide
And every loss and every lie
And every truth that you deny
And each regret and each divide
with some mistakes you've made too high

And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fail this all,
connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth and lies
Across this new divide
Across this new divide
Across this new divide


Watched Monsters vs Aliens this afternoon. Damn funny movie... definitely deserving for its high rating. Now looking forward to watching other movies like Up and Transformers. Yeah this period there seems to be a whole load of good stuff to watch huh. =)

Live firing next week... thank God for the long weekend.

But next weekend is going to be short. Going to watch the senior cadets' commissioning parade! And then the dreaded Ex Scorpion King... zzz.

Haha I need to be careful not to invite the wrong idea from others.

Yay..?

Long weekend this week, thanks to off-in-lieu. x)

Just hoping to enjoy every minute of it before having to go back and suffer another week of hell (and the week after that too).

Scorpion King... what the hell. >.<

Guess who's awake at half-past 4 in the morning to post on his blog. xD

OK not funny. Need to get ready for parade later. My feet still hurt. =(
