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.
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.

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’.

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.

Hmm, it’s been over a month since I’ve written anything. The lazy side has gotten the better of me and I’ve either been going out or playing Dragon Age: Origins for the past few weekends. Little had I known that these 2 months have passed since I first enlisted. I’ve heard stories of Ninja Coy before I enlisted, bad one in fact. I told myself, “There’s no chance in hell I’m going there, because I would be damn fucking suay.” I was wrong though. I vividly remember the first few weeks after enlistment, we went through the toughest shit unimaginable to other companies.
The first day of the hardest to pass, I stared hard at the bed frame over me, trying to get myself to sleep. As Ninja recruits, we hardly had much admin time to ourselves – actually none at all until we were done with range. Daily routines include talking to the ground and being yelled at, it wasn’t long until we got used to it. My bunk mates really made it all the more easier for me to get through these rough times, all the blood, sweat and tears we shared together, I will definitely never forget. Those times we had at the field camp were fun but yet tiring at the same time. I’ve personally lost like 10 kilos myself though I’m not exactly fat. I now weight 57 Kg at 1.8m, I’m pretty much returning to those days where I was underweight, but now I’m much more leaner. That is a testament to the kind of training I went through, though I’ve personally went to the medical center a few times before to ‘keng’ with my buddies. I’ve taken around 5-6 days of attend B at my stay there.
Funnily enough, our 24 click route march wasn’t even as tiring as our 12 click one or the 4 click too in fact.All that conditioning our commanders did really did pay off in the end, after all Ninja wasn’t leading the pace for the final route march. We put up our best show during the Passing out parade and finished it with much pride and happiness. To wherever we might end up in the end, I wish all my buddies and friends the best of luck in their new vocations. These 9 weeks, I’ll never forget.
