0857.

This has been a great and almost-PERFECT week for me!

Experienced how an instructor is like at the start of the week. It's not that easy as i thot. Learnt loads of things, which in turn motivated me to be one good sergeant.

I think this had helped me in some way to clear my SOC at a timing of 0857 mins. I had never passed since I was in BMT until then. Had improvements but usual timings were like 11-12mins. This had been one of the few achievements i had in life. During the last rundown, i was totally shag and almost close to giving up.

But what was in my head throughout the 600m run was all about not staying back this saturday for remedial training and thinking of my friends. Okay, and abit of today's Zoo outing. I almost died when i reached the endpoint. Legs hurting and lying flat on the floor with open arms and legs. Those are all my motivations, and i guess they really helped me alot.

Thanks to my friends. :)

Anyways...

We played Left 4 Dead yesterday, while waiting to watch Street Fighter: Legends of Chun Li. We bought Leeleng's ticket but she didnt turn out later! LOL. But then, L4D is seriously funnnn!!!

And like what I said, me, Leeleng, Kokboon and Felix went to the Zoo today! Felix is finally back from his Taiwan trip! Had fun taking quite abit of pictures. Had the scorching sun and pouring rain as well. Hah. It was quite a cool trip there since i haven been to the Zoo since my primary school's excursion. Shall post the pictures soon.

BTW I SMELL SOMETHING BURNING! AND IT'S MY NEXT WEEKEND...
Lots and lots of outfields coming! Cya guys on next-next week. ;(

Clamped in between the human noises.

As it's almost halfway through, I feel the intense from within. I'm starting to fear and worry, with stress and pressure slowly building up, and killing the inner me. The outer me is all nothing but facade.

I claim to say and act as if nothing has happened. But it's not what it seemed. I had always imagined the worst case scenario, and I foresee the future - FAILURE. Everything in there looked so real. Everytime I wanted to give my best, but everytime it never fails to demoralize me.

Current problems has yet been solved, and more challenges are coming. I fear. Really.

BIG IN JAPAN

This week is soooooo packed with activities. And I even get to book out on Friday early afternoon because of off-in-lieu planned for us.

Just a slight touch on the route march on Tuesday. It was called 'Pride of The Infantry March'. Indeed pride for such a tough route. But it wasn't as terrible as the 28km I had 1 month ago. During the march, the route never seemed to end, all you can do is just to keep walking.

This time I did lots of preparations. Had double boots insoles and even wore swimming trucks/tights. This could very much reduce blisters and abrasions, but not totally prevent it from forming. My feet didn't had much blisters for once since the many route marches i walked! Double insoles felt so cushioned like running shoes, and it's OWNING! :D

The river crossing part was actually quite shiok, but once you leave the river and continue walking... Eeeeeeeek and yuckssssssssss. But overall, I'm very happy this week!

----------------------------------------------

Yesterday went out to change my passport to the new one, since they say the old one couldn't be further extended. The queue was soooo damn long.

After that, went out with Shaoqi and Leeleng. Headed to the IT show at Suntec. It's really sooooo packed with people lah!! Had many things in mind to buy, but I just need the dough. Kokboon and Weili joined us later after work. Weili went home later while the rest of us watched Dragonball Evolution. It was not too bad, but I felt that the scenes happened a little too abrupt. Last but not least, Jamie Chung and Emmy Rossum are way too hot in the movie, don't they?! Haha!






Btw, Jamie do look abit like Lucy Liu huh? And Emmy abit like Anne Hathaway? Whatcha think?

Best week I had! Will even be happier if the photos be processed by next week! :)

HEY!

Hey all! I'm still alive, don't worry! As usual, I've been very busy hanging out with my friends and also with army life. So much so that I became lazier every weekend to update this little space of mine.

Saying a bit on army, I think I've became even worn-out since the course started. I can expect more toughness to come, just like the another 32km march with river-crossing on this coming Tuesday. Shit.

Luckily, my buddies has been rather good. Especially with secondary school bed buddy, Aaron, who is there to talk cock and joke with. Just like few days ago, we did our first 10km run test together under an hour. It was amazing how we both lousy runners completed it! I clocked somewhere around 52 mins. To train for this run, I think we ran over 30-40km in total thru the week. It wasn't that hard to complete the run, but it also wasn't that easy to endure through either. But I think I gonna run another 10km sometime again! Anyone? :D




Alright alright alright. Stop the army boredness.

To be honest, I couldn't remember the many events I did during the weeks. But I still could recall what happened 1-2 weeks ago. Hmm. An outing for Felix who is heading to Taiwan for 1 whole month. Good luck.





A friend that has been MIA-ing for a period of time.

Signature smile.

Always trying gentlemen and innocent.

3SG Felix.


The girl who shuns the cam whole day long.





I like those group shots. :)








Kelvin.. Errr.



Ending the photos with.. errr. :D

Although the photos wasn't that professionally taken, but I glad my camera worked, just really the hassle of buying film rolls and processing the photos. I had fun, guys!

Running doesn't train your endurance, it reveals your endurance.
