Ok so the last post was very incoherent heheh... Maybe I should start from the beginning.

Am out from my official confinement period, though last friday we did get to bookout for 24 hours for Good Friday =) I missed the youth group Good Friday event, which I wanted to go to and invite people =/ as well as sunday service unfortunately...

Then again, this week has been still not too bad... For the following reasons (and from here one will know what I've been up to hehe):

1. VJC Fencing aced the A-division, doing what my batch never succeeded in doing: Winning a team event!! Plus Zhongqi and Jon Boon and JieShi won the Individual Champion and 2nd-runner ups (guys and girls respectively for the latter two) for Epee =) So VJ effectively managed to defend championship and more heh though I admit I won through iffy circumstances... Hope the new Year 1s will stay!

2. AHSJAB aced the Zone comp! Was so happy when YeoLiting and later Evelyn told me bout it haha.... On saturday I wished so much for once that I was at SJ HQ though of course it was but a wish.. But still, good result = good news! Hopefully N-comp can go equally well (and I'll be able to attend this time).... Sometimes I wonder when I will ever let go of SJ...

3. My technical handling for the 4 weapons we learnt got ALMOST a perfect score haha... Minused two points for a really stupid mistake... Hmm that is, for the practical part. I was so busy helping with wing appointment that I didn't check my theory scores... But considering that what studying I got done for the test was done at 4 am that day, thank God that everything went well, and nothing got stuck etcetc haha...

4. I cleared the low wall in SOC at my first attempt for the first time today! Was so high after that that I managed to come in second in my detail despite being the last at the start. Overtook the most people on the balancing log.... While everyone was inching their way up slowly, I adrenaline-powered up the steps and nearly fell off the other side =Pp

On a more minor scale, OCS is rather inspiring in the sense that you actually feel useful, not just minion like I mentioned in the past... Think its cos they keep emphasizing that we have to think ahead and act like officers... It's rather like a week long St. John camp, with fun here and tekan there, jokes here and screaming there, down to the fact that we're still called "cadets" haha... Though my St. John footdrill and the SAF footdrill doesn't always agree =D

Guess at the end of the day, when we're charging up the slope after SOC, dying from a hundred jumping jacks and anything else that's tough, I have to switch on my idealistic side (the side that wants to become a doctor) and remember why and for whom I'm going through all this for... heh I sound like some propaganda machine....

Working with the Cadet Wing Comm, 2IC and the rest is also rather fun, if quite tiring and sleep-depriving... Since they are all pushing themselves for the wing to do well, which I agree with haha..

Well, with a grand total of 10 hours sleep over two to three days I guess I should be pushing off now. Cheerio and will update again in the near future!
