Army lingo
There are some words that I keep hearing in the army and it is seriously annoying the shit out of me. One of them is indented. From food to fans to transport, they just have to use indent for everything. Another word is stores. They call the equipment that we use as stores. Everyday the word stores is just bad news. We would bring them out ( quite heavy ) for either training or only to bring them in again. This is a pain in the ass when I'm trying to get a proper rest in bunk. Lastly the word I dread the most is book in. Instant depression upon hearing this word. FML .

Felt the urge to rant on my blog, unable to sleep and kept thinking about stuffs. So here I am, on my mobile typing away.
With A-level coming so soon, I feel very unprepared relative to last year. Super stressed out. One is because of lack of time, another is my self-discipline.
I think that everyone expects a lot from me. I don't know why is that the case. Even when I have so much to deal with, I have to entertain their requests. Okay so when I give in, they expect more from me. I effing have to book in to a damn run-down camp filled with morons after one week in civilian world, and my last day of freedom is fucking packed.
I don't know why recently I feel so much anger in me, prolly due to exam stress and mother bitch ns. I somehow feel that people think my life very easy, ns like some chalet, exams coming can just heck it. Every sunday book in for one week of orientation camp till the next book out. It is only Ns, nothing to do, book out also nothing to do.
I honestly think I am quite strong mentally, others in my position might have broken down long ago. Juggle so many things at once, just when you thought serving ns is brainless, there are so many things to learn and prepare for. Dealing with morons to hone your ability to survive in outside world. It all boils down to one thing-time. I. Need. More. Time. I don't want to lead an army life, screw this.

Life
Life has not been very good ever since I entered the Army. Things has been going downhill for everything. In short, this year has not been very smooth for me.
I have decided that I shall try to update once a week.
For my studies I have been slowing down, barely one topic per week. Plus I am not even sure if I can be granted leave to take the papers since it might clash with some operations. Thinking about taking the papers, kind of lonely to take the papers alone in an unknown surrounding.
And Army is really pissing me off. Overworked and underpaid. Inefficient to the max.I figured out that our national service could have been completed in a year if it is not so inefficient. Much of our time is spent waiting and we do not really achieve much in our second year.
This week hasn't been very good. Hope it will be better the next.
Why must we serve for so long? 509 days to ORD.

Update
Time to update my blog so that a certain special girl can read.
Time seems to fly when I am in the civilian trying hard to concentrate on my studies, yet time crawls when I am in camp. Quite contradictory. Left 136 days to my first paper as of now. ( And 530 days to ORD )
Not very sure if I can do well but will push on anyway.
My life in the army is really sad, especially on sunday nights. Well, on the other hand I am grateful that I am in a super slack unit. My unit is very special, lots of smart people but are super weird and annoying. The type destined to be a man. I am also a man but I am definitely different. Lucky that I won't be with them forever, if not -.- . All the new sergeants will be coming in soon, and my funny sergeants will be gone. Sigh, all the fun gone.
Back to my studies, trying to study in camp everyday but sometimes I am to tired to do anything. Oh and army is a real waste of time. Shall not say too much. Lots of smart people so I try to find helpful people to aid me. Quite grateful for their help. Cannot wait for A Levels to be over and do many many things with a girl who calls me chubby.
Oh and I have not met up with my JC friends for a long long time. Shall meet them soon. But I feel very sluggish recently. Side-effects of being inside the army? Certainly. Hard to juggle so many things which are of similar importance.
To horsie: Do well for your MYE. Cannot wait to eat my korean bbq =/
Shall update soon.

Update
It has been a long time since I have updated this blog. Had been really busy ever since I enlisted in army. The first two weeks were horrible because the schedule was so packed that I practically had no time for own stuff. I am so glad that things are slower now since all the basic stuffs are settled. Went on to my first bookout, met some friends for lunch and stock up army items to prepare for fieldcamp. Time just went by and fieldcamp just ended not too long ago. I thought that the BMT school was bad but fieldcamp made me cherish it more. Basically army just made me cherish everything more, no matter how simple they are, like drinking water. I'm only halfway through BMT but I feel that I have grown stronger mentally and physically, mainly due to the things that we go through. I have seen many guys cry during the training, mainly because they miss the comfort of their home and their loved ones. Seriously cannot wait to graduate from this place. It has made me lost many things which I fear I cannot gain back in the future.
Went back to school yesterday to collect my results. Did not do well, could say that I flunked it. Well I kind of expected it since last year so I was not really affected by it. I cannot go anywhere so I need to really think about my next move. Basically either retake or go to a private university. However army is interfering with this and I probably cannot afford to study in a good private university. Shall think through it more. Now that I have read through the courses, I seriously am only attracted to business course but it is way beyond my reach. The other degrees offered are seriously boring. Okay I am only judging them by their names.
Finally, I am going to try my best to not lose certain things.

Class dinner
Went for the class dinner to send off the Feb guys. Had it at Bugis. After that a few of the guys went over to Clarke Quay to drink, but epic fail.
Lessons learnt:
Lessons learnt:
- Sultan Fish is exclusive
- Choosing food with the guys is damn troublesome, more nonsense than practical comments
- Eating fish eye is still disgusting
- We must pick our teeth before eating
- Beer is disgusting
- Boat Quay is cool
- Shisha is quite cool

Work
Finally found a job. It is tough to get a job when you have only 2 weeks left on Earth.
I don't really like to work. I can't sleep in. I have a fixed routine in my life ( wake up, eat, work, sleep, repeat). I can't go and tan my body. When I still had ample time, it was raining daily from morning till night. Now when I need to work, the sun is effing bright. But but, I shall not complain too much because I need the money for a lot of things. Oh and I hate my baggy G2000 work pants. And I also don't like combing my hair. I am ending my work soon. After that, I shall go in army as a happy man, can hardly wait. (Y)
