sispec warriors we are the warriors

ah. just came out for the weekend break from my SISPEC training.

what is it like? well, i kinda like the lifestyle there as it seems alot more relaxed than BMT .. like more independent. BMT is really dumb like waste alot of time and stuff. But here.. the lifestyle seems better. but maybe cos the instructors all giving chance as it's our first week.

physically, it's about.. 3 times more tiring than BMT. the exercises are tiring and they really push us alot physically. i ached like crap on the 2nd/3rd day but i think that's also because i didn't exercise much during the block leave. but they're really demanding a high physical standard from us and.. it's tough.

i screwed up alot of things on the first day that could have potentially demoralised me for the whole course.
For example, i didn't bring my running shoes -_- retarded right. when i found out i literally went cold and i had the 'OH SHIT I'M SO DEAD' feeling in my body. luckily we could go the shop there to buy.
And, while moving cupboards (yes retardedly my bunk had no cupboards we had to shift from next door) i literally smashed my right arm into the fire extinguisher box attached to the wall. it kinda got sandwiched between the cupboard i was carrying and the box. and my hand went totally numb so i was freaking scared i broke something.
but i was lucky la, nothing serious. after the PT the aches from the other parts of my body became more than the pain in my hand so.. it healed after 1-2 days.

but somehow, i managed to keep myself optimistic so i went through the first week pretty well. furthermore, it was really relaxed.. like ALOT of people were slacking and not rushing to meet timings and not putting in their best effort.. like LOUSY discipline la. but the commanders still relax and never punish just scold.
I'm very sure this is because it's the first week so they're being nice. we're so gonna get screwed next week. i just know it. those guys really need to buck up. :/


optimistic optimistic!! i think the key to staying alive here is to be optimistic. so.. if you're nice you can send me SMSes of encouragement or whatever. i'll greatly appreciate them =)

BY THE WAY. PRISON BREAK FANS! i have GREAT NEWS for you! ok this is slightly spoilerish .. but i dont think there's anyway you dont wanna know it!
So if you dont wanna know

SARA IS BACK!!

YES!!!
i dunno how they'll do it but well the gist of it is that i guess she didn't die in season 3 and that head we saw wasn't hers ? i dunno. but the most important thing is that she'll be back in season 4 so those who stopped watching PB because sara died.. CAN COME BACK AND WATCH NOW!!!
=D

im a pig

ah.. the 2nd last day of my block leave. I have completed BMT, so now i'm moving on to SISPEC! (School Of Infantry Specialists) Just got the posting yesterday, by checking the army website. Basically that means i'm gonna undergo 6 months of training to become a 3rd Sergeant (3SG) ! gee, hope i make it through.


Yknow it is said that you only appreciate the value of money when you start working, since you'll be spending your hard-earned money. How come i'm not like that ah?

It's the first time ever im my life i'm getting a salary when i entered army, and the pay of $400 a month is pretty meagre in comparison to other part time jobs or whatever. but instead of being extremely thrifty and saving every penny.. i've become more spendthrift! I spend money more easily and am pretty comfortable with eating more expensive meals.

For example, previously i would always spend just 2-3 dollars on a meal, and never buy a drink but drink water instead to save money. But now.. my average meal is probably like 6 dollars? sometimes even more. Like.. 10-20 dollars. That would be when i go to those more expensive places..like pizza hut or Fish & Co (just went there this week. the glasshouse. their fish drips with oil la. super oily. but damn shiok)

(e.g. let's take my latest meal for example, which was my dinner i just had
Ban Mian : $2.50
Lemon Juice: $1
Chocolate Donut: $0.90
Brownie : $0.90
= $5.30 !! )
(and i only ate banmian cos my throat was feeling a little weird, like having the onset of cough. otherwise i would've eaten mcdonalds i think)

I think it's the army's fault. After field camp, i've developed the habit of constantly wanting to eat something (that's kinda what it's like in field camp, and cos we have biscuits, we can do that)
So after my meals i'll always feel like having dessert, etc. That's why i bought those donut/brownies.
I've also been taking alot of snacks. Like in between meals, just eat something. Then eat alot for the meals too. Ahhh i'm sucha pig.

Ah yes, i just bought 2 tubs of chocolate ice cream (mini tub, 2 for $2.80). ate half a tub with the brownie + milo powder + hersheys syrup. =D seriously, the inventor of milo is a genius. Is his name even milo? i know there are people named milo. milo powder can go with virtually any dessert la! it's even nice on its own. ah.. i feel so.. pampered. =X haha.

I am SO not looking forward to going back to army :/
