i'm gg to field camp so excited!
u noe how they say ns makes boys men.. each day that passes i doubt that more and more.. well, to tell the truth, i nvr believed that, looking at all the "NS Graduates" paraded in korners across most neighbourhoods (perhaps except chinatown and tiong bahru). anw, i still tried to believe it but i dont lah..
i think its because i hv a very different perception of what makes a "man".. i guess physically and mentally (sometimes) NS makes u a man.. but i think in other aspects (eg. emotionally, spiritually) it doesnt. the list of pple i truly look up to in all aspects in NS is quite short.
i think i'm getting quite tired of hearing f words and "chinese 700"s flying arnd.. i mean i truly believe that at least pple shld learn to control their temper and their mouth.
ok, i understand sumtimes the things some recruits do can be quite stupid. but i think it takes a great deal of self control to control ur tongue in ur utmost frustration. and i think seeing a commander doing that really impresses me. but i dont look down on commanders who lose their temper, lemme get that straight. sometimes i oso get quite pissed with things pple do. (esp when these things get ME on the floor doing push ups.) but i think my platoon mates arent the type who'd look for trouble - with the exception of one or two lah perhaps..
and i think i must learn to stop moving in the file. but seriously, i think its not polite not to look at someone who's talking to u lor.. plus i think i always try to learn from others' mistakes, and thats not easy when ur not allowed to turn ur head/eyeballs.
anw for those who think army is tough or what, jus noe this. so far i've played hide-n-seek with commanders, and been a few times on the monkey bar (u noe, the one we used to go on in pri school..), and we bash up imaginary pple, n we run away from imaginary grenades. then i've also been to the "arcade" to shoot, etc. but of course there's fitness training part - a hell lot of chin ups, push ups, crunches (?), jumping jacks (??), and lots of other crap. but i think the best training is the PC's night training. or rather, in my case, watching the rest of the platoon train as i sat out with medical immunity.
and noe this. i'm arnd half way thru BMT. and it seems jus yesterday that i
ooh and i got injured during live firing! and so did a few others..
okay fine, not so drama.. i cut my finger with my jacknife while cleaning my rifle (loser right?). and someone else got stung by a bee. i think in all their angst to warn us abt the dangers of live firing, the commanders forgot to mention that there are insects who can fire live rounds at u.. and die after that. haha.. and i think i need sleep. seriously NOT enough sleep lately. urgh.. and each hour that i lose i will stop thinking at random times. which is dangerous when one is in the army.. urf..
oh well.. cheers~ n peace..
