First week @ SOCE
sigh, I guess I'm just too sentimental. Just a few days out of Jurong Camp and I already miss it so much. Perhaps I was spoilt during my stay in S2 for 2 months.. those days with nights off, so much welfare, tv, and although the living conditions suck, I would gladly go back there instead of staying as a trainee in Nee Soon. Oh well, 8 weeks to go. I hope it passes fast. :) I really miss the peepz back in Jurong.. Staff Tsai, Sgt Marv, Vimallan, etc. Maybe even the CSM.
The course has actually been ok so far, tho my instructors are too darn garang and it's too regimental for my liking. Hopefully they'll cut us some slack as we proceed on with the course. The theory we learn can really be quite demanding.. soil testing, signals, GPMG firing, topo, etc. But it's hella interesting, beats stupid section movement. Heard that next yr I'll be going on a jeep course.. and it's STAY OUT too! Wots, can't wait for then, and hopefully I can convert to a civilian license.
Time seems to fly tho, it's Octobet now, and the next bookout, it'll be mid-Oct. Almost the end of 2004. But it's only 7 months in NS for me. Can't wait for X'mas. Always hope to have a romantic xmas.. but it hasn't happened for 18 yrs. heh.
Just came back from Century Square.. whole place under renovation. Was pretty sad when I saw the Kenny Rogers being destroyed.. it brought lotsa memories. Especially those dinners I had with Kt when she was having her BC tuition. I guess what I said in my previous post is possible.. time changes things. The real life locations are constantly changing and no longer can I revisit it, except in my memories. Places like Ahs, some parts of TM/CS, even Orchard. I think I sound silly, but each place that I've been to with special people tend to carve a memory in my heart and whenever I revisit there, I'm able to recollect everything. Ah, screw it, I can't seem to put my thoughts into words, think I'm stressed out as I have to hurry back to camp soon. =/
Be back in 5 days.. I hope.
