Tough times don't last, tough men do.

An overused phrase which still hold its meaning.

The past week had been tough too.
I wonder if it's me that's just too weak or what.
Had my com broke down first two weeks ago, which felt so damn long already,
everything gone with my thumbdrive missing somewhere too.
Then booked out Sat morning last week and slept the whole Sat away.
The whole of Saturday.
Morning 9plus to 6pm.
Didn't get to watch Harry Potter due to unforeseen circumstances.
Sorta wasted my Sunday too except for going out with my family.
Didn't do shit at all.
The past few bookouts was practically just resting and doing nothing because my com don't even feel like my com anymore.
Almost got confined just 'cause I was the LPS during standby-area.
Two days of outfield, 12km Route March under hot sun followed by river crossing, and then navex wasn't exactly easy at all.
All in all it was tough physically but tougher mentally.

And then what's worse is that Grandslam is tomorrow.
It's like the real shit's just beginning from here onwards.
Grandslam, Starlight, 32km march.
The last three greatest obstacles between me and the three chevrons.
Really really big obstacles.

And that's why tough times don't last, tough men do.
It's just this week, three more weeks, and two days.
What are these when we've already gone through so much and so far to where we are now.

In the end, we will all still do it.



And enough of army shit.
Finally went out yesterday to our 23/09 class outing.
Been kinda long since the last one, where most of the rest still had hair.
That was just after our POP in April, we weren't even SCTs yet.
And after so long we went to iluma to have ramen for dinner.
Not too bad I guess.
Then went drinking at some nearby place Kenneo brought us to.
Stayed there for quite a while before leaving at almost 12.
Took 12 home with some of the others living in the east.
Long ride home but chatted quite a bit.

Slept quite late but used to it anyway.
Woke up early morning today to play ball.
And ended up there's only five of us, the rest all still sleeping or too tired to come.
It was still fun anyway and good exercise for us.
May not be that good for someone going for field camp tomorrow but anyways it was fun.
Wonder if we still can continue playing like this all the way.
Or perhaps we will just somehow stop and hopefully continue after all of us ORD.
And then there's uni too.
Can't wait for uni when the girls are like getting busier and busier preparing for school again.

Well gonna have lunch and then a good rest.
Probably booking in real early today to prepare for Grandslam and at the same time,
enjoy a little bit of quality time alone with my myself and I in camp.










Byeall.

It all ends here.

Been another two weeks.
Past by just so fast.
And two more it will be August already.

Harry Potter is finally out.
Can't wait to watch it and at the same time can't bear to watch it.


The last two weeks had been tough.
Almost outfield everyday, except for the first three days of the past week,
where we acted as seniors for the newcomers to SCS.

This week would possibly be better except for the fact that we're going to have our navigation test.
At Lower Mandai.
Just gonna hope that everything will be fine.
And Sports Day on Friday.
Other than that there isn't anything much and soon the week will past by again.
Still feel like I'm just seeing time zoom past and away from me.
Guess that's what happens when life's a blur.

Hopefully will be able to catch the movie later on today.
Well but if not, then I'll just see how.
Some way or another, I'll make sure I see it in the theater.

Booking in tonight.
One more week to Ex. Grandslam.

Two more to Ex.Starlight.







Byeall.

Half year gone, half more to go.

And so fast it's July once again.
Half the year gone.

The past week felt god damn long that I can't even recall what I did for my last bookout.
Probably nothing much though except for playing ball on Sat morning.

Didn't even do anything or planning to go out at all for this weekend.
Just too tired.
And it's only the first week of outfield.
Just imagine all the outfield platoon attack UO stuff and etc shit starts coming in.
No go man.

Soon I'll be a troubled soldier again.
Then again, life's not too bad too.
Tomorrow's ATP and I really want to get marksman.
Not too sure if I really want to get it though because it's so hard and there's nothing really much that I can do about it except to focus more and more and more.
39/48 is really nothing simple when I only hit 26 in IMT.
And that's when we didn't even do the real run and shoot.
And this week there will be some UO I think, some outfield, and the following will just be 3 days of BIT which equals to 3 days of no training and slacking and teaching and resting a little bit.
Well the two days after that are tough though, live firing and Ex. Gypsy if I'm not wrong.

The following week is not quite relaxing too except for the last day which is the sports day followed by parents engagement.
Then it's another week of training most probably then Ex. Grandslam, a week of pre-flight preparation after that followed by Ex. Starlight at Taiwan.
While this month gonna past by so fast for people waiting to enter uni, or rather not, it's gonna be a hell of a month for me and when I finally board the plane to Taiwan, it's like the last final shit ever already for Pro Term.
Well that is second last before 32km actually.

Just hope that I'll be able to survive all this.
And the most important thing is to have a good section.

People, please don't screw up anymore.
Thanks and I'll appreciate it.

More tough times to come, more fun times to come.

Ohh and hope we'll really be getting more Friday bookouts instead of Sat morning or whatever.
Really wish to spend another night at home.
The good thing is that after this weekend there probably won't be another Sunday burnt.
Well we'll see about this and in any cases life goes on so I'll just have to keep that in mind.










Byeall.
