it took me more than 2 weeks before the idea of the arrival of the new year sank into my head.
08 was quite terrible for both me and the world alike. the camp madness and the financial tsunami and this and that.
i only have an objective this year. and that is to get things right with God, period. everything else will naturally fall into place.
reviewing the camp experience, i shall plot out a yes and no checklist.
1.picked up the habit of exercising regularly very unfortunately, no
2.still dislike cookhouse food most definitely, sorry mr keng
3.used to sleeping with many dudes in one pig sty nope, especially when ppl snore and you've to drown the pollution with ear-plug......
4.starting to understand how SAF works i tried, i really did
5.made many close friends oh yea man!
6.caught red-handed doing illegal stuff in camp have never really done anything illegal, so no
7.totally used to staying in over the weekends for duty trust me, if you do that every once in two/three wks for many months, chances are you'll
8.shoot in range like a pro unfortunately, i'm still bobo
9.respect superiors because they deserve it depends on who we're talking about here
10.getting all engrossed watching "little nyonya" in camp i refuse to comment on this lol

officially, i'm left with seven working days in camp.
suddenly, i feel a sense of disorientation. for all this while. i've been wanting to ord, but now that it's nearing, i'm lost.
i dunno what to do when i wake up in the morning. i wait to execute orders. i've to go for lunch at 1130 sharp. i've to lay on my bed by 2230, waiting for my brain to shut down every night. beyond this routine, i lost the ability to plan for my day.
it's time for some CCC (civilian conversion course)
things have been changing drastically in camp, the rules and regimentation, the people, the environment.
i may appear coolly unconcerned, but i've been observing. and i must say at the humanistic level, reality is hideous.
to adapt to the upcoming high-key events, the regimental exercises became disgustingly fake. it feels as if they're done to appease an angry deity.
and there were lots of dramas showing. everyone is acting someone they aren't,
and that includes me. some act to cover their vulnerability. others act to exhibit their authority. the rest simply just reveal their true sinful selves, performing what mankind is best at.
it all narrows down to display "the fittest survive" at a macro level. the mind game, the office politics, the clique versus clique dramas. all so often and indifferently played out in the most subtle manner. you actually have to be in the platoon long enough to join in the play.
kay, i'm feeling naggy today but who cares. i shall blog about the flip-side of the ever-so-happening Bravo once i'm in the mood. ciao peeps.
