so 8 weeks. wouldn't say it has been quick. wouldn't say it has been painstakingly slow. it has been beneficial to me. i've become a whole lot fitter, a lot more knowledgable than i was 2 months ago and of course, i've made a few good friendships. 

i realized that sure, i may not like everything (damn straight) about serving but those who said this is the transition period where boys become men aren't lying. i feel like i've grown up a lot more in the past 4 months than i have in maybe the last 4 to 5 years? mentally, physically and emotionally. i am more ready to face challenges that come my way now and most importantly, i feel like i can stand up for myself and what i believe in. its some sort of coming of age i presume. 

there are other things too. inter-personal skills etc etc. but i shall stop here. and bring your attention to...

 

YES. GOSSIP GIRL S2 IS COMING. bring on blake lively and miss leighton meester please. :D before anyone goes on an unnecessary rant on how army boys are sex-charged, testosterone-filled creatures, can someone please take a look at the above picture of one ms leighton meester first. I MEAN COME ON. if i were gay, i would turn straight. of course being of the socially correct sexual orientation, i can't help but wonder, why would men want to turn gay? rhetorical hence no need for any answers/rants.

right, so next week is another week (ah duh) , we'll see what happens.

next stop, mowbray camp.

time spent on tekong last week was well, not very well spent. not that i'm complaining, in fact i actually loved it. nothing beats doing nothing. and so, the so called grand finale is over. what is left are two weeks of random events that will eventually culminate in the 28km route march and after that, my beret and corporal rank and of course, the allowance rise. yes, its an allowance, its not a pay. i mean seriously, really?

looking back, i wouldn't say it has been wow 6 weeks that was fast kind of thing, but i survived it nonetheless. unscathed, unscarred, untraumatized. ok maybe slightly traumatized but i digress. it probably has done me more good than i have ever imagined, in terms of my fitness and my leadership capabilities. and so this chapter of my life is about to end, with a new one beginning. not really looking forward to what is to come although i'm not entirely sure what will be coming is REALLY going to happen to me. but really, 70% is a huge percentage.

yes, i know i'm leaving you guys going what in the world am i talking about. its the whole mystery feel i'm trying out. yeah right.

at this point, i tried to think of other stuff to tell you guys about but then i realize i have nothing going on in my life other than army. ah, the sad truth. whoever wants to help me rectify this problem do let me know, IF YOU GET WHAT I MEAN.

HOOOZAHHHHHHHHHHH.
