Ah nutssss.... St. John camp is exactly on top of Platoon Field Camp, which means I'll miss it completely for the first time in 7 years... Wow has it been so long already? haha... anyway, guess while my juniors are having their games (and also getting tekan-ed here and there heh) I'll be digging my way into some hole in Marsiling... Plt Field Camp sounds REALLY tiring... like dunno 2 days without sleep or something... But I'm sure it'll be extremely fulfilling after its finished...

Anyway we're almost done with our Demolitions Package... The test was pretty good, just that I couldn't light my safety fuzes so I'm about average lar.... It would be nice if I score high enough to take part in the live fire tomorrow... Not that I'll get a kick out of detonating stuff, just that I like to do well in whatever I'm compelled to do haha... My vivid memories of the Demo package all come from the scenes I watched from the clip they showed us when we visited OCS in 2005. And the detonation of the Bangalore torpedo is like !!!!!!

We also had a 16 km route march which was quite fun cos my platoon's morale was VERY high ahaha... Sang all sorts of songs from normal marching songs to disney to pop to more modern songs haha... Then during the last leg, I had a very long convo with one of my platoon mates whom I didn't know very well, but I guess after talking about everything from uni to family, army and everything else, I do know him more. Anyway, thanks Roger, for taking my mind off the fatigue of the march and all =)

Haha... He also mentioned that I "don't look like a guy prone to extreme emotions". Virture of having a father who doesn't lose his temper as a role model =D But seriously, I think people like my SJ friends would know me better than that, since the last time I exploded was like Sec. 2... Hmmhmm... Anyway at the end of the whole thing, our legs all felt like dropping off, but that night we really slept very well heh

Hmmm anyway, Alon and Poying were also offered, and accepted, Medicine! So there'll be at least two, no, three counting Jiayan, familiar faces if Alon and I disrupt. But my immediate future still looks quite hazy... Dunno whether to anticipate Medicine in the coming months, or Infantry (cos my SOC was not bad), Signals (cos my signals test was not bad), or Combat Engineers (cos that's where most people go to). I highly doubt I'll go to Armour ahaha.

Well, Vesak Day has been quite quiet... What with an outing being called off at the last minute, spent the day sleeping, then went to Parkway, bought a book, some unhealthy stuff for keeping awake in the coming lectures, and somemore army stuff from a store in Bedok... Alon's now asking me about watching a movie on Saturday, which usually I'd look forward to, but the problem is that I'm confined till Sunday afternoon because we're having GPMG (that's General Purpose Machine Gun) live fire on Saturday bahhh...

Still, I'm off on Monday in compensation... So if nothing untoward happens in the next three days, on Sunday I shall be going to watch Amazing Grace with church friends, and be collecting my A-level cert from VJ on Monday. Man the weeks are really flying past... The former activity, anyway, will be a good change cos I haven't watched any movie since Music and Lyrics haha... So looks like I've missed, and will be missing (until the DVDs come out), 300, Spiderman 3, Pirates OTC: AWE and etcetc

Well, shall stop here for now... Shall continue this Sunday night hopefully =D
