Lightning has struck

I know I haven’t been blogging in a damn long time but I seem to be drifting towards this once-a-month policy. There’s nothing to be said about army life, especially with the amount of security clearance for my current unit. It’s my 3rd week here in 2 SIB, life’s definitely really slack when it’s time to play, but when it’s time to work, things can get pretty tough.

We had our fair share of “peanut butter”, or rather, takan sessions. Being a recce commander ain’t an easy job at all, and I have doubts on whether I’m able to finish the course. On the welfare side, we’ve had 7 night’s out so far, this is for all the people who laughed at me when they heard I was going to recce..

Adulthood

I know I’m a week late but I’d like to thank everyone who came down to my birthday party. Especially my family members, who all did an awesome job in helping. My sisters and cousin, Bryan for helping with the decorations. And my parents for being plain awesome cooks and whatnot. It has been a long time since I’ve received presents, since my family doesn’t celebrate Christmas anymore. Got tons of kick ass presents, essentially the SNSD poster and autographed Oh! album from Celine and Edward. You guys just read my mind, I was thinking to myself prior to my birthday that it would be the ultimate present and I actually received it.

BSLC has finally come to my end and I”ve just returned from my confinement duties a few hours ago. FYI, I got posted to HQ 2 SIB Recce instead of ETI, well I kinda expected something so ‘ninjaish’ would happen, but I guess that’s fate. Hopefully it isn’t as hard as they claim it is. Hopefully. I’ve just been really enjoying life these days, enjoying the final moments with my bunk mates, enjoying my time at home etc. Well, I wish everyone a very happy lunar new year. I shall go back  surfing the net and doing what I do best, gaming.

Just another post

Only 2 weeks to go before becoming a full-fledged adult. I usually don’t celebrate my birthday in this manner, it’s all usually low-key with a bunch of my best friends. But this is 21st we are talking about, and my parents are helping with it too.  TBH, I haven’t been so excited about my own birthday before until now, and my bunk mates are excited too, for the wrong reasons of course.. Well, anyone who reads this blog and knows me personally is definitely invited to come, just tell me if I haven’t yet pop an invitation your way.

Army life has been going on just fine, I just returned from a field camp this week. 4 days out in the field without shitting, a new high score for me. The first 2 days were crazy mad, of course there isn’t any physical or mental torture like the days in Ninja, but the weather over at Lam Sam is just ridiculous. It’s like a arid desert, minus the wind.  And we experienced a downpour in the middle of the first night – and we didn’t pitch a basha. Trust me, it feels bad waking up all soaked having to go on a 4 click march.

Forgotten alliances

Happy new year everyone! Not really feeling it all that much, the guys and girls did come over for an epic party on eve. Nothing much to say besides it being crazy. The real party with all the drinking will come tomorrow though, at Jess’s birthday celebration.

I was talking on VoIP with the guys when the topic of online games came up, it then put be on a spiral down memory lane. I started reading on my past articles, thinking about the fine times I’ve had in the many different realms I’ve visited. Jon and I go way back, in fact we met through a game 6 years ago, but we still remain to be great friends after all these years. There’s a sort of respect between us, we’d always call each other ‘bro’.

Lepak warriors

An advanced Merry Christmas to everyone! Life has been going good, and I’ve been pretty much ‘lepaking’. As you know, I’ve been posted to SISPEC, Charlie Wing. Turns out that the rumors of Charlie being a xiong company turned to be false, it is ironically a fucking lepak company. There’s no words I can use to describe it, let’s just say that we get treated like leaders here while we get treated like maggots – or like my sergeant prefers to  call us, bacteria – back in Tekong. Life here is really good, our commanders are a bunch of humorous people, welfare here is a dime a dozen too. Apart from that, I don’t really have much to talk about army life.
