after the block leave, the long weekends, i'm getting used to the civilian life!
just being busy with everything else but the army feels great!
now that holidays are gone, training schedule picks up again, it's back to the screwed up life.
booking out on sat this week, sucksssss...
God, please help me. =)

well-spent weekend!
although i missed my coy's commander's cohesion night on thurs at pasir ris prawning and bbq-ing,
although i missed my platoon's outing on fri afternoon at orchard eating and being merry,
although i was very tired for the past few days,
it was all well spent!
i'm glad i played for the Destiny event!
it was really an eye-opener to what these amazingly talented youths can do.
i was really lucky to be part of the live band for the singers.
it was very challenging to play for them.
there were like 8 contestants to play for, and 18+++ songs to learn?
since i've been so busy in camp, i didnt even have the time to listen to most of the songs beforehand!
surely i was very nervous. and the first time i heard all the songs was on thurs afternoon, and friday is the actual live run alrdy!
but in the end i managed to pull through the whole event..
though i didnt play very nicely on sat (oh gosh, talk about my mood during sat: horrible).
i was so screwed up on sat!
probably because i was not v familiar with the songs and there was not enough rehearsals..
*heave* but well, if the contestant herself is good, it didnt really matter how bad the band played.
and really, all the contestants' voices were awesome!
not just that, the group's were fantastic too!
they've got the groove and the super hot screaming licks!
and they're all rich.. either that or it's their parents.. hahaha.
their equipments are all branded and fully loaded..
fender, ibanez, taka, 5-6 pedals per person (1 costs at least $100 cheapest, and goes all the way up to $500-600 and up!) blah blah blah.
me? just a cheap aria and a boss OD-20 equipped with sub-standard skills. haha.
there really is a big difference between hardwork and talent.
talent comes naturally.
no matter how hard a person works on something but has no talent for it, it's a total flop.
just like how i got 49/100 for art in sec 2. i just can't draw! no matter how hard i try, i just can't! even if u train me for a thousand years, i still can't!
but if someone is talented, he doesn't even need to break a sweat to complete the task.
hardwork w/o talent = wasted efforts!
talent w/o hardwork = wasted God's time in giving you this gift!
hardwork w talent = success!
as for the contestants who won the secondary and post-secondary segment, i believe they've got both.
they've got the gifts and worked hard on it!
so, where does my talent lie?

fucked up.
that's all i can say.
sometimes is it just easier to not care?
why are there some pple who possess the special ability to shut off to the things that they don't not want to receive?
probably it's a curse to care and think too much about things and end up you feel fucked up over it.
or is it a blessing in disguise?
what the hell am i talking about?
dear Lord, i just don't know what to do.
it gets very vexing and bloody hell, just feel that it sucks to be me.
not to say i'm very noble and do a lot of things or what, but seriously there really are people who are behaving like a bitch.
now i can really understand how it feels and what it means when you just cant work with someone.
not all things can be resolved peacefully with mutual respect and understanding.
some things are just meant to be avoided TOTALLY.

my two most memorable birthdays
they're both spent in SAF.
last year, i had a stand-by everything and ultimate tekan session during bmt because someone was caught smoking in the toilet.
stripped everything from my cupboard, field pack and duffer bag.
did some physical punishments and wasted my time.
this year, a 24km overnight route march!
so yup, my recruits sang me a birthday song at 0000hrs while on the move.
the rest of it nth much.
just endured through another boring march.
wasted my time yet again.
at least i didnt do a 72km march on my birthday like how matt did.. hahah.
so, how eventful were my birthdays?
