Woah, finally back in the comfort of my own home!! Hahah.. sounds like I haven't been home for a long long time alr.. but this time different okie?? Cause I just came back from the last last last shoot of my NSF life!! Yay, so happy lah.. not gg to wear long 4 and touch live bullets for a very very very long time from now.. feeling a huge chunk of weight lifted from my shoulder!!

Lets do a cheer!

Brr.. its cold in here! There must be some Toros in the Atmosphere... I say..

Okie, too enthu already.


Well anyway, I was actually quite dreading this week, cause there were quite a number of activities going on.. but I have to say that this week has been really fun, esp today (Friday).. had a 5km run in West Coast Park on Tues.. its more like 6km or 7km lah.. so far lor.. almost couldn't finish the run.. but guess wad.. I came in sixth!! OMG OMG OMG.. I was like super duper whooper fast lah!! And I won Jian Hui yet AGAIN!! Second time in a row already.. summore run slower than me still want to give excuses lah..

"I was never a good long distance runner"
"I want to accompany the other runners"
"I just wanted to run leisurely"

Give up lah. Its okie if you are slower, no need for excuses one.

Oh.. and Friday started off really badly.. gotten lotsa shit in camp althou I was at the range.. was actually damn pissed lah.. cause the NSman charging was not really my problem, but I just had to dabble in it and in the end, it became my problem. It really doesn't pay to be helpful and responsible in S1 branch. Its like I am the one pushing the superiors to do work or something.. arn't NSFs the ones that needs pushing instead??? Basically throughout the combat shoot I was like making calls after calls after calls to find out the situation and get the stuff that I need. And cause my phone was down, I had to borrow phones from Jelvin and Jin Ping and waste their phone bills. Thanks so much to the both of you!! Owe you lots for ur help! Summore, I kinda misfired during the combat shoot.. had a shock myself.. luckily the target came out alr, so I wasn't penalised.. but the shock just kinda lasted thru the combat shoot, and in the end think I messed up the entire shoot.. such a bad day..

Well, but by afternoon, things turned for the better. Although I still have the shit work, at least more of the things got settled and I finally had some time to socialise with the rest.. had a really good chat with Alex.. in fact we really managed to share a lot with each other on Firday.. we chatted about our impressions of the people in S1 branch, and I was really kinda surprised about the other sides of the people in my branch that I never knew of!! In fact, after this chat with Alex, I felt like I was really mistaken about some of the ppl in the br.. am gg to look at them in a new light from now..

In addition, I have also found out a lot more about Alex himself.. I did a lot of thinking.. when I do work for others, its often obligatory, and sometimes, I would want to be recognised for my work. However, when Alex does his work, he does it out of sheer love for the people around him. He has never once asked for recognition for his work. He is forever giving and never taking anything in return. This just suddenly flowed into my head when I was having dinner (which by the way was horrible. It was nua(3) nua(3) cabbage with super salty omelette, some wierd chicken piece in spicy sauce and my absolutest hatred - pork cubes with peanuts!! OMG!! Super disgusting lah.. luckily I had 4 sardine curry puffs for tea break..).. I felt so inferior and selfish in comparison!! In fact, I was rather touched when I realised this, cause he has really helped me a lot previously, but I din even help him much in return.. After I left, he even sent me a msg. I was really very touched by his msg, cause I can tell that he was really real and true about wad he wrote inside.. really proud to have him as a fren!!

Thus, I have made a new resolution. I am going to be nice to everyone from now for the next one week, and experience for myself how its like to be giving and selfless. Hope I can keep to my resolution! :)
