UP
Haha, I'm finally back! It has probably been eons seen i last posted here. So I felt pretty guilty when i checked my blog and found it to be pretty.... stale. Lol. So i decided to do a short post here, to update everyone about myself as well as to quell that guilt within me. :D
The disney pixar movie, UP, had been my fifth movie screening for the past 2 months. It was a feel-good movie, with many humorous scenes and quite a few flashbacks of the protagonist when he was young. Along with his sidekick (a boy scout), a talking dog and a colourful bird, he managed to save the day. The movie had taught me something: While the protagonist was so keen on fulfiling the wish of his wife, he did not realize till towards the end of the movie that what his wife truly wanted him was for him to lead his own life (adventure) to the fullest. With a good feel, better message and superb cast, this movie had certainly been a movie worth watching. Adding to the fact that i had watched this movie at the Grand Cathay (my first time watching a movie there), it had certainly been a wonderful experience for me! Well, this is probably going to be a very fast one week for me, before i head back to PLC for my ASLC course. But i guess that this break is going to be a meaningful, and hopefully, productive one. With luck and probably some effort, i should post again pretty soon. So till then, I will say, "Thumbs UP with UP! W.Q. ^^ Labels: UP |

PLC
Yep, This will be the place where i will reside and train in for the next 8 weeks. Also, known as Pasir Laba Camp, it's the training ground for all SISPEC cadets to be trained for BSLC.
(In case the following words may seem foreign and alien to you, let's just say that I'm now entering the next phase of army life: training to be a sergeant) Yep, i did not actually want to blog today, but was inclined to do so, for my blog would remain like some locked-up, dust-ridden journal if i continued to let in lay in its ruin. Haiz, the one-week block leave had been a welcome relief from weeks of boring and tiresome training, but somehow the one week of flu and fever had all but ruined most of the block leave. Still, it wasn't such a bad break, as my cousins did visit me before i was unwell, and i managed to squeeze in 2 outings in the past 2 days. Friday was spent eating buffet at Sakura and watching "The Taking of Pelham 123" with Han Liang, while i watched another movie, "I Love You, Man", with my Leo group yesterday. These outings just serve to remind me that freedom is so restrictive yet seductive, and i often yearn for more of these breaks at the end of each day. Well, pardon my english, for 7 months of not touching my books has caused such a drop in my writing standard. Guess i got to hit the books soon, and i guess i'll have lots of free time for the next few weeks. I heard that training at PLC is tough, but the breaks are long, well-deserved and maybe a little bit boring. So, i really hope these 2 years can pass by quickly... let's just say 1 year and 8 and a half months left. "Here we go again, same old shit again..." The night beckons, for me to sleep. Labels: PLC |

Gone
Yep, that's the title for this post, a post which has been long postponed. A day that I've waited so long, yet with a sense of forborne and fear. I really wanted to post this not because i wanted to update this blog, but rather, this day has held a special meaning to my life: another transition, another crossroad....
Here i am right now, sitting in front of the white screen, my head glistening from beads of sweat and the lack of hair (that's right, I'm botak!) and fingers typing furiously as fatigue begins to crawl into my mind. For the past few days, I've been slowly but surely packing my bag with full of necessary inventory required for the 9 week BMT. From clothes to basic necessities to more clothes, my trusty red bad just sags at the mention of these items. To think that i will recieve much more when i enter tomorrow... The place may be located just a few miles offshore at the east of singapore, but boy, it seems like I'm about to travel to some god-foresaken area far, far away from home, and exposed to the harsh reality of military training. With rigourous training and lack of luxuries within reach, what lies ahead of me may seemed like a nightmare that is waiting for me to be in. The star actor of the show.... Oh boy, how anxious am i, I really cant wait for the transformation of the outcome. 2 weeks ... it really seems endless huh? Well, all these talk and no action, but i guess i'll be facing lots of action in the coming 2 weeks...wait make it 9 weeks... or u can even say 2 years. Well, depending on how you see it, it can seem either like a blessing or a curse. Deep in my heart, i just want to breeze through it all without any troubles or worries, but hey, who says life deals you an easy hand all the time. Of course, with IPPT and the horrors of endless training, i can expect all this to be a huge load in my mind. Well... we shall see... I dunno how long I'll be out of action, but if you are seeing this, u sure won't have to wait as long as the last time! Thus i shall end my post on a note: "Sometimes you don't have to find the road, the road finds you! 5 months since the end of A levels, 2 years to the end of army! ^^ Labels: Gone |
