Keep that faith.

Been so long since the last post.
And we are already heading into the second month of 2012.

Chinese New Year was over.
A good break for us from camp.
Though it didn't pretty much felt like a Chinese New Year to me.

PTP's ending this Wednesday.
And most of us won't even be there thanks to ASM and BSM COC parade.
BMT's starting soon and I hope we will all be able to get through this without much problems.
The recruits are finally gonna experience the life of a soldier.
And things will get tougher, both for them, and for us of course.
And once they finally POP, it's into the next stage of unknown.

Got past my 4 guard duties in 10days.
Celebrated CNY in camp before we all booked out to celebrate it with our families.
Booked back in with less than two weeks of PTP remaining.

And although the overall passing rate of IPPT for our coy is not bad,
I wouldn't say the same for our platoon.
Well hopefully we can push more of them to pass their IPPT,
as well as producing more Gold at the same time.
I'll definitely have to work hard too, especially for my running which is probably freakin' cui by now.

Heading into February, there isn't much I can say that I'm looking forward to.
Life's still more or less the same, taking one step at a time,
making sure that we don't make any wrong move.
Ten months left and we'll be free.
Not too long, not exactly short either, can only give our best while we're at it.
The few weeks surrounding field camp just gonna be hell,
hopefully we can still find joy in midst of suffering together in Tekong, or just in camp.



Sometimes, I believe, in each of us, we do doubt what we are doing.
Well, for most of us at least, that's what I think.
And that's the time you need to think back and reflect, the reason you were doing what you were doing in the first place.
Sometimes you might realized you did something out of a foolish reason, then at least you get to learn something out of it and not commit the same mistake.
If you realized that you actually had a valid reason for doing something, then keep the faith and trust your decision till the end.

At certain point of time, you might lose yourself, forgetting your goals and aims, or even get depleted of any motivation you might previously possess.
And when this happens, just trace back your actions,
gather your thoughts and think about what led you here in the first place.
As long as you can regain that belief and the motivation which once pushed you so hard and so far,
I guess you can already carry on for quite a while more.

We all can easily lose sight of where we are anytime, anywhere,
but the most important thing is just to remember where you are coming from.

If you can think of just one reason to keep you going,
nothing will be able to stop you until you get to where you wanted to go.

Dinner soon and booking-in tonight again, for the next two weeks most probably.









Byeall.

The time you have, the time you lost.

First week into 2012.
Not much difference.

Perhaps it's because life still goes on for us in NS no matter what happens.

Inter-Formation Air Weapons Competition finally over.
Shot just 524.
Didn't perform again.
Sigh.
I might have just be able to get into the top 8 finals if I were to shoot 54x or even 53x.
After all I shot 550 once if I can do it once why not again,
there's even a 5 in one of the series anyway.
Anyway 3rd Div supposedly got 6th, an improvement from the 9th place last year.
And congrats to Chester for getting 1st in Air Rifle Men Finals.
Other than these, it just leaves me wondering when will be the next time I get to shoot again.

Haven't done anything ever since I got home this morning after guard duty.
Rested a bit, and used comp all the way without even trying to do anything constructive.
Feel so tired lazy and can't be bothered to do anything else when I'm in this mess of shit.
Already booking in tomorrow by 7plus and it's gonna be another weekend guard again,
with two throughout the week somemore.
So the Friday guard duty basically just started my guard duty streak of once per four days from now on until the one on Sunday.

Chinese New Year coming real soon.
Just two weeks away damn.
Don't think I'll even have time to do anything about it.
And the long weekend might just be the best one now that book-out time is so precious.
Hope that I don't just spend the time resting sleeping etc though.

Getting kinda late now.
Shall try to catch some rest and then it's gonna be another long week ahead.
Time gonna fly though,
and so we better cherish what we have at the moment.








Byeall.

More to come, long way to go.

First day of 2012.

Didn't blog on the very last day of 2011 like I always do.

Didn't even blog as much in 2011 as I always do.

2011 had been a year of randomness.

Changes.

Learning.

Growing.

2011 is finally the first year I didn't spend in a school.

A normal school where I get educated that is.

Finally enlistment into National Service for me,

and what a gigantic change in lifestyle that is.

In just one year, so many things had happened.

From BMT to BSLC, then to ASLC and finally passing out and getting posted here.

Meeting people from everywhere, finding common points between us and also differences.

Glad that I had a great BMT company and section to start with,

and as I progressed on I met many others along the way.

Some of them stayed with me, some of them left.

This is just life.

Not just in NS, but in my past 10+ years of schooling as well.

And until now I'm the only infantry specialist from my BMT platoon.

Been a long way man.

And we're all halfway there.

The officers in our batch finally commissioning soon.

And entering this year we're left with 11months.

From then on it's a new chapter of our lives once again.

Really nothing much to blog about for last year,

as my life had been completely thrown into NS, and nothing else.

Of course, many things had happened through the year too.

And reading my previous posts should give me a good idea of how much I'd changed.

And how much the world had changed.

For this year, I just hope for myself and the world to change for the better.

And that we will all have a good and safe year ahead.

Let's all work hard together.

For there are still more to come, and a long long way to go.

Byeall.
