Dear Blog,

Lots of things happened in the past week. The week past damn slowly. Almost died while counting down to book out day.

Lots of lectures. Falling asleep during most of them. Lots of tests. Tripflare and claymore mine practical tests. SAW. LAW. Theory tests. ET runs are a bother. They just bring the morale down. 4 km... 5km... IPPT CAT, had improved... but silver still...

Appointed Sect Comm the moment i booked in. Was deciding to slack while on the fastcraft there. Given the 3SG armband. Looks good though but nothing much. Kent appointed as LPS and Jackie as LSM. I thought after 3 days i can go back to being a normal guy in the platoon and slack once again. Hah... Maybe because i am just plain suay or the guy up there just want to play with me. Sometimes when you don't wish for anything much, you get all of them, and when you wish for something too hard, it doesn't come your way. Was late falling in to send arms. So i haven't attached my bayonet back to the gun and haven't took out the rifle sling. Then at that time the reporting of strength was already done so i ask the LPS for permission to adjust. Squatted down to settle the rifle and up came PC to "inform" me that i'm the next LPS. -_-" So here i am, just finished writing in the Leader Platoon Sergeant Book on the past 3 days.

Friends have told me that this is the best time to perform well. To let the PC take note of me. But i've sort of given up that sort of garung spirit. Don't know la. Shall just do what i need to do and hopefully don't sign any extras. I know i am capable of doing a good job, but i just don't feel like doing so. Oh and everyone out there... please help me pray really hard that i don't get appointed as the next LSM. I won't die, but the whole company will collapse.

Talked back to my PC. Cos i am the LPS. No one dares to speak up anyway. And since it was me who started the clapping thing during ET run. And that wasn't any bullshit. Earned some respect from the others and lost some. PC asked me go see him. Said it's my choice to use those words that afternoon. Said he shall not discuss about that. So i was kind of left hanging there. But i knew i was wrong too. Shouldn't had said that not everyone sang during the run because of the 2.4km we had the previous day. Haiz... we were all just tired la.

Left calf bothering me a little. Jaw hurting a little. Bunk mates said cos too heaty. Don't know la. They are just bothering me and i don't like it.

Did i say the management there sucks? Instructions were given by the PC for us to bathe after SOC and the whole platoon was given 15 minutes by the SGTs. 52 guys bathing in 15 mins... hahaha... hahahhahahaha...... hahahahhahah...

Oh yeah and did i say my section instructor sucks? Sucks not in the sense that he always scolds us or always pump us... but he can't teach... we aren't really learning as much as we should from him... he is like standing there... learning everything with us... most of us fear for our future tests...

And the instructors like doing things at the last minute. 10 minutes before booking out, Thomas, my section instructor brought down the sect comm book asked me to write the AAR for mon until wed. Then before that, he said he will show me another sample book so that i will keep to that format. So i ask him where is the sample book and he asked me to follow him into the platoon office to take. Then SGT Kelvin at that moment ask me to take down the names of people without a CV belt. Dear SGTs... i don't know any form of magic that will allow me to split myself. So i asked the sect comms to take down the names, but you know how friends are like...

"eh you never bring ar??"
"ya..."
"aiya nvm la... shhh don't let the sgt see you can liao.."
"...okok"

So back i went to see only one name given to me. Then SGT Kelvin came up and said those wearing SAF belt also not counted. So i ask who wearing SAF belt and 2 hands came up. Then they said they already told the sgt. So i went back to the sgt with one name and he started his unreasonable shit, that he already caught 4 guys and he wants all the name by sunday night. And guess what, CDI started to ask the whole coy to walk to the bus stop. So it's like wtf.

Incapable sect comms.
Dishonest people.
Unreasonable sergeants.

When friendship and integrity comes into play, which one do you choose?

Anyway late le... got to go... another week to go... just like what i told Chris...

"Each week, when i book in, i wait for the time to pass. Whether we are doing anything or not, i am just waiting for the time to pass. When night comes, i am happy because it is the end of one day. When i wake up the next morning, i just wait for the time to pass again."


Bookin' in,
Lah
