things to blog:
1. birthday
2. army


1. 24th in BMCT ppl were like cheerin "tmr is our book out day... book out... book out... tmr is our book out day.. bookout bookout day..." inside i was thinkin of how to incoperate the word birthday inside the cheer along with bookout day. so durin dinner on 24th i kept rehearsing the cheer in my head tryin to add in the word birthday or creat a new cheer for my own birthday on 25th. haha. but i failed. nonethless spirits were high. morale was high, everyone was lookin forward to 25th. OUR BOOK OUT DAY.

24th and 25th i sorta got tekan by both commanders and platoon mates alike. like once SGT james pump me abt 50 over times because i was platoon ic and i didnt know the strength of the platoon. BUT it was all in GOOD FUN, JOY and MERRY LAUGHTER. and im not complaining. at least my presence was acknowledged.

25th came. and the day in tekong dragggggggged. i just couldnt wait for book out time. from 1600. drag till 2000. 2000 then they started RO (routine orders) ie just a general meeting and debrief for the entire company. so 2000 RO. RO toook quite some time (esp to me since i cant wait to step on spore grnd to celeb my bday) den finally time to march to ferry terminal. i think i touched spore land roughly only arnd 2100??

mum and small sis were there at pasir ris mrt with a cake. haha. went hme. cut cake. took pics with me in smart4 to send to dad in china. well. by tt time it was already past 2200. so bascially. that was the end of my 19th bday. alil sad. a alil un-eventful. but i cant blame no one. if only i could haf booked out on 24th. if only my bdae was on 26th. then my 19th bday wouldnt be so pathetic. nevertheless. my name is still darren and im as good lookin as ever.

my bday celebration was nth compared to keli. like seriously. her friends had it all planned for her. and im rili freaking jealous. grr. from having a surprise visit at her place by her cedarian friends. to gg out shoppin with them. to gg fish and co glasshouse for dinner and surprising her by invitin a bunch load of close friends to honour her 19th bday. gaarrrhhh she had at least 4 cakes la!!!! i only had one from my family! but yet again. NEVERTHELESS im still darren and can do 20 pull ups and look dashingly cute when botak.


2. army life is
fun cos i like the military
tiring cos everything is abt physical stuff u march run sweat carry slog toil and every muscle in ur body is worked
hectic cos u always haf to rush u cannot take ur time. 15mins to eat. 5 to queue and take food. 2 to keep ur plates and cutlery abt 8 mins only to really consume ur food
busy cos u very seldom have spare time aka admin time aka slack time. you are always on the go, doing sth.
sleepy 6 hrs of slp is nt enuff. esp with so much physcial stuffs.
hot cos tekong sun is IMBA. its 1-2 degree hotter den in spore. plus theres not much shade and shelter so its like you're doing everything at sentosa.
sweaty for obvious reasons. u do PT under the sun u do unarmed combat under the sun. thats enuff to bake you.
sticky cos i can stick on sloppers very well
stinky cos i nv wash my clothes at all for that 2 weeks aka 14 days
cold esp in the morn. and if u even tried bathing in the morn. ur balls shrink so much. u haf problem finding them at ur crotch.

thats basically it and im bookin in NOW already.

tuesday is outfield camp for me. 6 days out in the wilderness the jungle. no water no bathing no food no fruits just dried rations like biscuits and sleepin in ur own " grave" abt 1-2m deep and 10m away from everyone. if it rains. its GG.

i've learnt not to take civilian life for granted. i cherish every civilian moment in spore and i treasure everything now.

the tall girl beside me is cheryl. she is so cute i walked her home last night and even dreamt of her after that.

damn i dun haf her no.
