well, im back, after a really long time. i had wanted to start a new blog to blog about army stuff ( Dont worry SAF, i wont disclose any sec
rets here, nor will i badmouth any particular person so you can keep your "informal" punishment booklet back in the drawer thank you. ), however i havnt had the time to do it yet, though it would be not a bad idea since i dont really have to study and have free time like mad nowadays. (do i smell a contradiction?)

so yeah, like i said, the army blog will post my feelings towards my current life for the next 2 years, and i hope i would be able to update it regularly every week. when i finally have found a new appropriate template.

do forgive me as this post would contain no pics of my life, ( but i would include some snippets take from google to make this less dry. and believe me i KNOW dry. ), but this post will be about my post a lvl till now.well firstly, i graduated from my jc. with mixed feelings of course. firstly, i did not do up to my expectations, but thank God through that i have learned how to use a cliche phrase a.k.a a valuable lesson. i have slacked off way too much. and i could say i got lucky to get these grades i got and be able to get an offer from NTU. so making this short and sweet, im going to make this 2 years of information isolation a way for me to change my ways. (a way for my ways. sorry bad pun.)

secondly, i would not be meeting the friends i had in JC , in JC, anymore (geddit?) . of courz we would continue meeting up with every chance possible (L4D2 muahaha), but it would be certain that it would not be everyday. i went back once to collect my good progress award, and i just sat down in the canteen and remembered all the fun days i had.

thirdly is for reasons i will not state publicly, but it gave me a hard time indeed.

the time during late march to early april had been an emotional roller coaster ride for me. many many bad things came blow after painful blow into the area i put my fist at when i say the pledge. it did not help that the new medical condition i was diagnosed with (also in that period of time) "hyperthyroidism" to be exact, was making my body twice as affected by stress as a normal person would be. i cannot describe the feeling. all i can do is facepalm. thank God for the support from a special group of friends and family, i managed to cope with it, little by little.


after that, ENLIST!! a time when you throw your past life away and welcome your new one. i was in tekong pes e due to my newly discovered medical condition, so it was quite slack. ( ok maybe im understating it.)

tekong life was great ( for me and my buddies at least) comparing it to my army life now after being posted out. however in army, one would not have to be just physically disciplined, but to be mentally disciplined as well. im not talking about being able to take scoldings and such, but i meant being able to hold fast to your morals.

i meet people from all walks of life in tekong, as im in the later batch. guys who smoke and dress themselves in tatoos are common. trash talk and vulgarities are the norm. the question is, will you follow them? those who have not been inside will scoff at this post and say " cnfm wont la im too cool to smoke." wait till all your friends smoke in there, and you realise that smoking is a social magnet, and they wave your potential first stick in front of you, would you realise why. of course my friends have respected my decision and have never said i was scared to try or what not and im glad for that.

so as always, when i get to know friends, life always have a knack of not putting us into the same group be it class, cca, vocations. well im used to that. but in my new unit now, well yeah i have friends, but somehow i feel kinda lonely. maybe because most of my friends are also in army, but i hope this will pass soon as soon as the new batch of RP comes in. but life here is really boring. you dont even feel like socialising.
especially when im the only new guy there. the people there are not bad though, but they are all my seniors.

i wont say too much about the environment now, i will save it for my new blog. take this as a pretext to my next chapter of my story.

to everyone who has been a part of my life, you guys are great.
