For 5 weeks, i did not maintain my blog, you could even see the cob-webs forming on my blog.

Reason, out-field training.

This is done almost on a daily basis. And when weekends finally arives, i am too shag to even on the computer. During those times, i learned things that i thought never existed. Accomplished task and obstacle i never thought was possible to complete. For one thing, i cleared SOC at a time 9:29. Another thing is how i managed to go on a strict diet for 3 whole days back to back ( i still can't stand the stench of the combat rations ).

9 weeks of BSLC is over, at the 10th week, we'll all get our corporal rank. But there's nothing to rejoice yet.

If selected to be infantry spec, we'll need to endure another 10 weeks or so of madness, in the out field.

There, i will learn new things, discover new fears and conquer them. And more mosquito bites.

No wonder many say that boys will mature into man during NS. No dobut, they will dig out all your inner fears and force you to over come them. And during those times, i never felt more useless.

Yes, i'm still single and getting desprate. i almost went shopping for new games and clothes alone today. In fact the plan was to go alone. Until i bumbed into one of my platoon mates at beach road while getting my new rank sewed. With our rank sewed, we went brokeback at bugis junction to get polo T-shirts and for myself, a new pc game. It really struck hard at me on how much things i took for granted while i was still a student.

But while this thought has already hit me hard, i knew i couldn't cry out my mistakes and my sorrows at night. (The fact that there was 9 other people in my bunk was one reason).

Desprate as i can get, there will be nothing i can do. The cupids above can't simply be serving 5 billion people at one go. And i am convinced that they won't be serving me for at least another 2 years or so.

Maybe i should start bribing them.
