SILVER!!! I GOT A SILVER
SILVER!!! I GOT A SILVER FOR MY IPPT!!!! FINALLY!!!
well... anyone who knows me, knows i can't run. not for long distances anyway. during the last part of my 2.4km run, i glanced at my watch and faintly registered that i had 1min 40s left to run the remaining 400m. and that essentially meant i had to sprint all the way to the end. it was a struggle not to slow down and give up, just glad i finished it. =)
on the other hand, our section took one hour and forty mins to mount a camo net that was suppose to take only ten mins to setup. haha! people sure change when under pressure, tempers flare, minds shut down... am just glad they didn't make us do it over and over again until 3am.
the long weekend's almost over, time to go back to the field again. don't get to see the stars as much as i did in sispec, but i know they're there, waiting, just like the fireworks, for me to pick my camera once again. ah... the things i wanna do when i'm finally free...

all we have is now. and now, all we have is each other. surely that is more than enough, for now.

have been thinking (or rather
have been thinking (or rather dreaming) abt what uni life would be like... all of them happy thoughts of cos, i mean when you're stuck in the army, anywhere seems to provide more freedom to do just what you want to do, and be what you want to be.
oh well, that's still two years away. can't wait to get to the stage where you can do things because you enjoy or have fun doing it, like what life used to be.
guess i'm quite lucky already, am in one of the best sections in the whole course =) haha, the kind of luck it takes to get just the right combination for ten pple to work and live together. really quite proud of our timings during the platoon race : 8:07, 3:43... yeah, we're faster than that =P
argh! ippt is coming up!! i can't run my 2.4km anymore after slacking for so long!!!!! plus all the commands and things you have to do on an armoured vehicle... the weeks ahead don't look easy... =P

i think i've become diabetic
i think i've become diabetic towards fireworks... too much of a good thing sure spoils the fun of it.
well, now that we're done with national day, everyone's wishing that it didn't have to go away so soon... will be missing all the off days and stay outs we got during that period. now it's back to camp and training full time, with nothing to distract the instructors anymore... bleah!
dread... being to feel like the way i did back in sispec... am absolutely not looking forward to going back there again.
didn't manage to go out with nick in the end, had to stay home and make dummy grenades. man... what a way to spend a weekend, filling cans with sand and taping them up with blue tape.

watched my sassy girl, and
watched my sassy girl, and well, couldn't resist making a layout of it. =)
revisited rebecca's homepage too, don't know why i decided to, but it sure brought back a lot of happy memories. all those poems and little bits of inspired writings somehow cast an enchantment on you, making you believe that the world is beauty after all, at least for while.
getting nostalgic and all, guess it's just the sudden realisation that it's been exactly a year since i bought the last book of griffin and sabine. well, it's always easy to just tell yourself to move on, i mean like stop wasting time on stupid thoughts. life isn't like the movies, it should, but it isn't.. =P
anyways, my head's ringing with all those korean songs from the movie, plus the extra special variation on pachelbel. time to stop rewatching it over and over again... (esp the subway part =)
