Currently: Depressed & Shag

it was a rather eventful week last week with alot of happenings. somehow, depression jus seeps in. its an add on of lots of events and finally the load proved too much to bear. think it has something to do with fatigue. been unable to sleep in camp for the past week. keep tossing and turning in bed with thoughts that running through my head. no matter wat, they jus cant seem to stop. this jus sucks big time. i guess letting the matters unravel themselves would seem to be best.

hope tomorrow would be a better day.

PS: think i am soooo dead when i book in next week, haha. my section commander is sure going to kill and slaughter me for certain incidents. :)) misery on top of misery

So Marks the End of the First Day of CNY. ended off the 1st day with my 1st nap of the new year and could have slpt longer if not for the wake up call frm rene. O.O but cant sleep too much too la. later prove some ppl (feline) right that this year is indeed my year. oink. oink. haha.

started the day with a vist to the temple where my grandparents are housed and later to my uncle's hse where all my numerous uncles and aunties are gathered. and we had a lion dance performance there. and i spent the whole day rotting in front of the tv. :P

of coz the highlight of every CNY wld be the hongbao collection and muz say that this yr's collection is a little more than expected :)) haha. my dear little peck yeng keep reminding me to share it with her, statin that princesses ought to be pampered and since i am earning $$$ as an NSF i shld share it with her. bleahs. tsktsk.

and yes. how can i forget that nice CNY msg that meryl send me after i wish her "Happy CNY" to sum up. she basically said that it was my year and took the time to construct this super cute pig on sms for me. aint tha sweet of her? haha she always never fail to make my day with her actions :)) would get the pic up later. and that pig was suppose to look like me -_-''''' she always never fail to make herself the highlight of all the festive holidays. also doing something that i would jus remember. lol.

then was reading thru the horoscope today in the papers. something that i started doing frequently eversince i enlisted. haha dun knw y but NSFs seem to be very superstitious, especially those frm my coy. lol. anyways the horoscope went "Fresh starts only happen when old situations are finally put to rest. it may be difficult to let this come to a conclusion but it is necessary if you wan to move on with life. Breathe. Learn to accept reality" wells, was thinking about some stuffs yesterday along these lines and to think that the horoscope would provide such an answer to my question today. it is really darn coincident lo. wells, maybe i shld jus heed it after all that is wat that is holding me back i guess. but then some things are impossible. and this is one of them. maybe i din realise how much i am missing out on life.

it's kinda late already but jus wanted to post this up, even though valentine's may be over. saw something too that day while i was out CNY shoppin with merv. a little poem to sum up what is love, especially during the Valentine's Season.


Fight for Love,
it completes you.
it nourishes you.
it enriches you.
Dont let it slip away
Dontt let it escape
Dont let it fade into oblivion
Keep the throes of passion burning
Keep the sweet conversations going
& most of all,
Keep your love alive.
wells. this too is kinda late. had a belated Valentine's Day celebration with feline after i book out on friday. bleahs. i cant believe that i actually rush lo due to her ending school earlier than expected. yes, i am complaining! :P heex.
it wasnt really a very lavish celebration, but rather jus a really simple one as we both jus dun have the time. bought her a bouquet of flowers and she was pleasantly surprise, think she din expect that coming from an unromantic person like me. :P and after that we headed down to vivocity where i treated her to Gold Class as we catch Ghost Rider. nice movie. nice setting.
after that we headed down to carl's junior for a simple late lunch. all the time, she jus cant stop playin with my hair. not that it's nice to play or she play it all the time. ha. but once in a while she would jus go rub it like its some sort of lucky charm. -_-'' after our late lunch, send her home in a cab with me inside of coz. :P and yes, we jus went to 2 places. her hse and mine. and the cab fare came up to $40. haha reason i am statin this here is that i am hopin some ppl would be feelin guilty :D some forms of reparations wld be nice kekeke. wells, pictures would be up later as i am too LAZY to post them.
last but not least. know how i spend my Valentine's? with a bunch of guys on an offshore island. DOING GUARD DUTY.
Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!
Happy Chinese New Year!!!

The Highlight of the Week: Situational Test or Sit Test for short & The Singapore vs Thailand Match

caught the Singapore vs Thailand match in our annex room. rather half my company was there watching the match and our sgts were watching it too in the company office. haha. and the prelude to the match was very exciting. with us recruits doing everything super fast in really record time so as to be back in time for the match. RO too was also push forward so that we all could watch the match. haha. after that, the annex room was flooded with guys all wanting to watch the match. emotions were high as there were lots of cursing and swearing and booing during the match. and when singapore scored. everyone ran out and we created so much noise that during the sit test. Apache which was havin RO told us that they knew singapore scored coz of the noise we made. haha. we were all so darn happy that some even ran the entire floor shouting GOAL!!!! i guess the atmosphere there was like how it was back at the National Stadium. it is like watching the match live.

spend yet another 3 days outfield. but then this time round. the enviroment is slightly better. with fair and sunny weather and super cold winds. this time with nature is time well spent. reclaimed land is really a nice place to go for training. with tall lalangs and thick vegetation, not to mention lots of sand. you really have to go there to see for yourself. but the winds at night can be so super cold that we have to wear full no4 plus goretex, but then it still feel cold. brrrrr.

Day 1: basically lots of lessons as they taught us the basics that we needed to knw for the test. then it was admin time for the rest of the day, whereby we cougar babies had a gathering jus under the stars by a shady tree.

Day 2: Sit Test begins with us having to plan and excecute 6 missions with lots of running, arti drills, day movements etc. started off with a fast march that was more like running. haha it was tiring but fun. then it was admin time all the way again.

Day 3: last day of Sit Test. started the day with fast march and lots of tekkaning as the sgts try ways and means to tire us out. 6 missions to be completed and we did it very quickly. then it was back to company line.

it was only during sit test that we cougar babies realised how lucky we were to have sgts like our company sgts. coz at least we were treated like an equal, like a man. the other companies sgts do not really seem to treat the recruits like humans. more like lots of tekkaning and no welfare. whereas for Cougar there is a balance of both. welfare and discipline. it was only then that we begin to appreciate our sgts more. ya. and we all miss our company line, our beds, our buddies, our shower. haha. and for me, MY 2 PIECE KFC CHICKEN MEAL!!! lol.

training was quite xiong for the last week, esp for me coz i could not walk properly. partly due to my half healed ankle and the blister at my toe that was there since field camp. so it was quite an uphill task tryin to run. but well, lots of fighting spirit. muz press on and perserve. ok, that kinda crap la. haha coz i dun wan RT during block leave or on weekends ;) haha.

well, think this upcoming Valentine's is going to be a boring one again. coz i would be in tekong and my weekend burn again coz i am bookin out in the evening. this sucks man. :(( had plans and now have to postphone.

i think i am like having insomia for the past few days man. alot of things on my mind. jus that i cant really seem to find an answer and a s...
