See yun, my lousy chinese made me type out one post in like 1 hr. so much time wasted. appreciate it please. hahahaha! this post cant be typed in chinese, i will never finish it in time to go back camp you know. haha.
anyway, this week and the incoming weeks will be damn busy for me. i have plenty of administrative work to do, for a start i have to plan their outfield stufss and proficiency lessons and test. i have to schedule them for mortar conversion courses and many. other then that, i have stuffs which only include myself. firstly i have to attend my platoon sgt course in may for the armour phrase. i seek advices from my new CSM who is, for now a terribly nice guy, sharing alot of his experience with me which i find it really helpful in the way i manage my men and specialists. on top of that he lets me have my way with my men, trusting i will not bring them to harm. trust, so hard to give, yet he was willing to trust me. i kinda learn when to be strict and hard on them, but i'm soft and caring for them. hey im caring ok. i make sure all their welfare are fulfilled and their discipline intact and they work hard in everything they do. in my absences, i hope they will do the same too as i will be away for about a month or so.
i feel the growth of my platoon for the time i took command of them and they have yet to really disappoint me alot.
ok back to the course. i heard from my CSM its rather siong, which i like. hahah! im not a sadist but i love the field so much. being dirty and tired with a bunch of soldiers, doing stupid stuffs and working tgr. its an experience only found out in the open, where you are tested for ur capabilities and mental strength. so much i love being a soldier, i still hate the mosquitoes. but thats another thing. i read up on my subjects that i will be learning. platoon skills, management, discipline etc. which is what i need to learn more about now. tho i wouldnt be with my subordinates and men, i know they will wait for me to be back and hoping i will be back fast. else no one will take care of them, and give them all the nights off and fight for benefits for them. =D when im away they will miss me for sure ahaha!
nxt up i have a selection for ranger. wth ranger u say. mad. i myself too din expect it. but my CO being a ranger, wants the specialists regardless of nsf or regular to take up the challenge. i did not take up the challenge. he selected me . up till now i don't know whether i will regret or not but i will just give it a shot. its all about my pride, im not prepared to let it down yet. tough it may be but i have started my training, whatever comes i will take it head on. my fighting spirit is high so dun try me. :D but b4 all of this crap i have to go for a selection which is not easy and to be honest im kinda scared of it. it sounds really xiong and i wonder if my body can take it given the injuries i have gotten ever since im in the army. if i can, then its good, else i can tell myself i have given my all and have no regrets, just like in everything i do.
nxt, wahlau i hate the weather nowadays. the rain. omg, i don't know if i can call it rain anymore, everytime it showers, it a thunderstorm. whats happening to the weather man. for example on friday when i woke up in the morning to go to camp, the weather was fine at tampines when i started my bike to go to work, so i decided not to bring my rain coat along. along the expressway, i could see lightning flashing like mad in the sky, made me wonder if its going to rain. who knows that once i reach eunos, the little bomblets started hitting on me. for those who dont know its f-ing painful to ride in the rain, putting being wet aside, when u travel at 90-100km/h in the rain, the raindrops hit u like a stone. im not joking. its freaking painful, i even got my finger cut by the rain or sth, i duno. its like fighting a mini war out there cannot siam the bullets, just have to take them all. freaking painful u noe. all this kinda makes me wonder if i shld continue riding. to say the truth, i love riding, alot in fact. its a hobby which i never regretted altho i spent alot and alot of money on it. its a kind of passion for me, whenever i saddle on my bike i feel different. when i ride the feeling is great, whether jam or not, my mind is always clear, free and not thinking about anything else. nth else i do can give me such a feeling. but now i have to consider giving up on it due to the terrible weather. serious i don't care if the world is dying and what not i just hate it when stuffs i cant control like rain stops me from doing the things i like. dammit. alternatively i can drive to camp, both are transport, but driving will nv give me the feeling i have when i ride. very reluctant, but i will have to make a decision within the nxt few weeks. sigh. i hate this.
