Book out.... Off-in-lieu...

I'm out for the weekend...

Went for dinner at Kenny Rogers wth my section mates juz now...
Had a gd chat wth them... Everyone's sad we're gg to lose bout 2 guys to OCS.. But there's nthing we can do bout it... and till now we dunno who are the ppl leaving us...

Seems tt my section got this guy tt already has his own business and its doing well... He's earnin money w/o having to do anything... And when he do something, his profit goes up to a 5 digit sum a month... And it has stirred the business side of me awake again... Gg to try to learn all bout it...

Oh er ge ar.. Dun worry bout SOC, i'm sure u'll pass it sooner or later... Juz do ur best...

Tts all for now... A little tired...

Heehee... I book out le...

Haha.. My Coy actually arranged for us to go to Chevron todae... So we got to book out todae afternoon.. But tmrl mornin we'll hav to book in to clean bunk and rifle le... But better than dun hav lah...

Chevron seems like a great place.. Wth facilities like swimming pool, pool tables, bowling alleys, cyber cafe, gyms, chalet... and many more.. further more, we frm SISPEC are automatically members... So we get to enjoy all facilities at lower prices... There's only one prob...
Chevron is at Jurong East... Lol... it'll take ages for me to travel there...

So tmrl i'll be booking in liao... But i'll be able to book out in the afternoon tmrl for the long weekend break... a well-deserved one...

Had many interesting activities this week.. Repelling of the wall... AOC (additional obstacle course) and COC (confidence obstacles course) as well...
But i actually got rope burn for the first time in my life... So now my hands got blisters all over...

Ok.. I shd go and get some rest for the weekend...

Mornin went for soccer session wth Senghou -kkk +TYS... Had fun lah.. But very tired... Den went HP makan be gg NTUC to go shopping for snacks to bring in... But seriously, i doubt i'll eat much... Not much free time in bunk coming week... Wth all the outfield exercises and the 3D2N camp... My whole body muscles pain lor..

KKK seems very stress at OCS... Muz relac siah pal.. I'm sure he'll pull thru and pass out as a 2Lt...

Rest of Senghou quite sian also... Muz congrat JK on becoming the Asst Chief Clerk...
And congrats to WK for OOT.. lol

Er Ge ar, muz take care of urself siah... I can see u're rather stress up wth SISPEC life like me...
Sigh.. Lets hope we get out of this shit asap...

Da Ge seems to be having happier times... Jia you wor Da Ge... Combat engineer...

Tts all for now... Morale below sea level... No motivation, no spirit, no life...
Gg to book in very much early todae... Sadly gg to eat my early dinner... End of my less than 24hrs bookout coming to an end...

Civilian life is so great... I juz can't wait to ORD...

a very SAD Pte Lim signing off...

Feelin down? juz compare urself to me and u'll feel much much better... trust me....

Chiong Sua....

One week of outfield has passed... Chiong sua almost everyday... But guess wad, its not the worse yet... Nxt week is gg to be more chiong sua... Sigh...

I've been thinking this week....

I always tht my mental strength is stronger than my physical strength... But i realise i'm weak in both...

I always tht my EQ was better than my IQ... Den i conclude tt both are equally pathetic...

Dunno why i feel this way... But i juz feel this way...

Anyway, it has been 2 weeks w/o any relapse small or big for me... Phew...

Soon term 1 of BSLC gg to end... Say fast not fast say slow not slow...

Had a great supper wth JK,WK,KKK,TYS and DM at Chomp Chomp... Den went Cafe Cartel to get a drink and watch soccer...

Tmrl morning playing soccer finally.. After so long... But sadly tmrl early book in... Sigh...
Late bookout still early book in... Sian...

Oh, heard tt er ge is injured... Muz take care yah... We muz chiong thru this together...

And Da Ge, hope u havin a gd time( i noe this is impossible) at the Sch of Combat Engineer...

To everyone, enjoy life... While u can.. Remember, happy times dun come all the time... So always enjoy it while u can, be4 u miss it...

Kinda tired after one week of hectic activities... Wanna relax this weekend...

Went back to SRJC ystdae nite... Chiong there immediately after book out...
ODAC was havin their camp... Met up wth my brudders and the OCT KKK.. haha.. Senghou was there too... So chatted alot... So much to talk bout, everyone havin a totally different experience in their NS life... Navy, clerk, driver, OCT and of course SISPEC trainee..

Got home only bout 2am.. On my way back bought cup noodles eat.. if not die of hunger le..
Now gg to format my com...

What do i do man....

Thanx er ge for concern... Dun worry... Life is one of the few things i actually rank above money... I'll be sure to hav the life to enjoy the money...

Anyway, last week had 3 SOC lessons... And during the 2nd SOC, i had a severe relapse... This is really gettin worrying... The intensity and frequency of attacks seems to hav increased... Actually i decided during the week to see a doc todae... But i changed my mind... Decided to try and pass thru BSLC and ASLC be4 seein one...

I dun believe it but i actually hav to study in SISPEC... Took a few tests last week.. TSR, BN theory... Nxt week got much more coming... BN practical, SAW TH, claymore mine TH, Signals theory and prac... Stress huh... To add on to tt, i'm having my final SOC test...

SISPEC life really very packed..But there certainly is more admin time than in BMT...

And my bunk got a few seriouly love-sick ppl... and i tink they need some serious talking to man...

2 weeks hav passed... Adapted? i dunno...

Pte Lim... Signing off...

I'm scared... Yes i am...

Juz got back frm a session of soccer wth the Senghou and affiliation... Feelin abit tired.. Probably cos din get much slp last nite... Stayed over at Alvin (Gan) 's hse ystdae wth JK... Watched abit of the Qualifiers, played PES and played some chess wth JK.. Den this mornin went for soccer straight...

Juz now on way back suffered another attack of the chest pain... It wasn't a severe one... But i'm worried.. Or afraid... It has been so many yrs... When i was young i always told myself: dun worry, when i grow up it'll go away... But now... Its far frm being gone... In fact, its seems to hav gotten worse... I'm really worried... I can't afford to be not medically fit.. I'll lose my place in SISPEC.. Den get downgraded.. I'll lose my chance to earn more in my 2 yrs... My family needs the money.. I know tt my life is more impt.. But i guess if i can survive so many yrs, why not another few more months... Maybe i'll go for a check up after i pass out frm SISPEC...

I dunno how much longer i can last... But i'll do nothing but my best... Anyway i've nvr experience an attack durin physical trainin or activity... So i hope it won't hinder my participation in the activities... Hopefully...

SISPEC...

SISPEC life not easy ar..

Do so much shit and end of the day only get 3rd SGT.. Pay only = to wad the ppl in OCS gettin now as trainee... Wth..

Anyway, had SOC on the first morning there.. Den had 2 Endurance Training already.. 4km and 5km.. Had our first few lessons in Basic Navigation and learnt bout the M203 grenade launcher..

Mon gg to hav TH test for M203.. den gg to hav 3 SOC lessons nxt week.. Stress..

And over there the ppl all much fitter than i am.. Juz look at the chin-up regimes be4 meals..
Everyone doing like 10... Me can barely manage 6.. wtf.. Sigh... Den hav to do so many extra push-ups...

And the worse is i suffered an attack of my chest pain... It wasn't a severe one... But the pain was enuf to stop me frm doing anything... This brings back memory of how the previous attack tt happened durin BMT.. Back then it was severe enuf to make me fall out frm the activity...
I dunno... Maybe i shd juz see a specialist bout it... Sigh.. But wad if the doc really find smthing wrong wth me and.........

Anyway, got lotsa stuff to prepare for this first book-out... Many things to buy..
Tml playin bball..

Private Lim...

Still coughing real bad... Someone save me........

PTE Lim coughing off....

Yo~

Just about a few days more before we know our army posting results le...

Just wanna wish all the best. Hope my brudders get to the army posting of their choice. If not then... hope not to get back to Tekong. BleahZ.

Anyway... whens the next LAN session? Need to LAN as much as possible before going back...

FaBBy_Naibaf
Warcraft III?

Sigh...

Todae went NUS Open House.. Only attended the talk for Engineering... Probably cos its the only possible choice for me in NUS.. It seems tt engineering is not as bad as i tht.. Its actually quite interestin... So i'm gg to apply for NUS Engineering.. Probably take common engineering for the first year... Den i'll decide which discipline to go for...

I've been thinking.. I don't require myself to be very rich or very successful in the future or now.. I only require to be like any other average person.. Juz hav enuf salary in the future to be able to lead a normal life... But it seems tt maybe even this bare minimum i require of myself i may not be able to achieve...

Am i a failure in life? I dunno... I can't ans this qns...

Now i'm gg to take things as they come... I've lost most, if not all, of my already very little confidence of myself, my abilities...

PTE Lim coughing off......

P.S Happy bdae to KKK...Wish u all the best...

POP liao..

Well well well... finally.. POP le... NOw i'm a Private...
Sad to say, todae i still hav to book in to tekong...
All HQ'a fault... Last min change in instruction and now all those who fail SOC hav to go for the re-SOC tmrl.. So i gotta book in tonight...

Its really stupid.. This was exactly wad i was tryin to escape when i went ahead wth the SOC even wth a fever... I din wanna come back during block leave... because we were only told probably only those who din take only had to come back... And now even those who fail hav to...
bull shit man...

The last week was rather horrible for me really... Wth my fever comin on and off... I din noe how much longer i could last... The 24km route march sure tested my determination to its limits...
Luckily there was something call Panadol... I took it at the 12km mark... And it help to reduce my fever at least until i completed the whole thing...

At least now my fever is gone for gd... I hope...
But i've got a real bad cough and flu... Probably caught a cold...
I dunno why i hav this mindset, juz to get the SOC over and done wth and i probably won't be bother at all bout my timing...

a very sickly PTE Lim signing off...

Bookin in soon...

Todae played soccer in the mornin and enjoyed myself alot...
We beat a grp of arrogant people...

Went Borders todae and bought a book... Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell...
