7th March
Haha 7th March is a very significant date for me...becos it's my POP date...and coincidentally also my father's birthday..haha..i am really looking forward to it...double celebrations coming up..not to mention the holiday i will have after POP comes...16 days more onli...and soon it'll come...
To tink of it, i have already been in ns for like close to 3 months..haha..after enduring so much, i juz realised tat everything has juz passed so fast and in a flash, i am gonna have my POP in 2 wks plus time...of coz it hasn't been smoothsailing or enjoyable to say the least these 3 months..but at least i have learnt new stuff and had some fun times too...and soon a new chapter in my ns life will be formed when i get posted to a new unit and out of tekong...haha..oh well i dunno why i am tinking of this now and actually typing it out when it's not even time for me to do so...now i shld juz concentrate on finishing my bmt...
I rmb one of my goals i wrote down on my personal goals list in ns was "To enjoy life as much as possible"...haha..i tink that has been achieved to quite a large extent as i have quite frankly speaking indulged myself in whatever i wan..ps2, food, taking taxis when i am lazy.. budden again, i still feel something's lacking haha...maybe it's the lack of interaction and communication with my outside frens and also not being able to meet up with most of them due to the restricted amount of time i have out of camp..hope during the march hol period after POP, i will be able to find some time out to meet up with the others...
Time to go for dinner and den booking in again...haha...

Short Break
Haha 5 am in the morning after a bk out the nite be4 and i am sitting in front of the com writing this when i shld be sleeping...
Had sit (short for situational) test for the past 3 days in outfield (like field camp liddat but a shortened one)... supposed to be some kind of assessment of everyone's capability to be a leader or commander... the whole event was really tiring but at least at the end of it all, i felt that i had learnt new things and it was quite fun after all amidst the hectic schedule and grueling tasks that we had to do that made us very shagged...
So anyway upon ending the sit test yest(saturday) afternoon, had to go back to camp and clean rifle as well as settle admin stuff be4 booking out and all these led to us booking out super late at 1930 at nite...and with the booking in tonite at 2025, it sort of amounted to only one day of short break for us to recover from the sit test as well as clean our uniforms and equipment...better than nothing i guess but it could have been better if there was more time for us outside of camp...haha
Shared cab with a fren go home, den wanted to join chs wushu peeps for reunion dinner but was too late so din go in the end..felt wasted to be unable to meet up with them and juz have fun together and catch up with one another over a dinner...so juz stay at home, eat and drink a lot, den also watched tv and used the com etc...also did some smsing to keep in contact with frens den got to talk to one of them over the phone for quite long..it was really pleasant to be able to juz chat up again after so long and talk crap and joke even though we had not met for quite some time...and this is something i wish could happen between me and most of my frens where we could juz find some time and chat over the phone and keep in contact as well...ok this may sound mushy to some of u but i have to admit that i miss my frens haha...esp when i haven seen them for quite some time...
I actually should be sleeping now...
Good nite/morning everyone!

Why am i still at home?
I am supposed to be back in tekong camp now but i am at home...haha...this morning went doctor after feeling really uncomfortable with the whole body aching and fever, cough, running nose etc...den got a 2 day mc for today and tmr which effectively means i am going back camp only on saturday which was supposed to be my bk out day....haha...so maybe i bk in on sat and den i get to bk out on the same day although at a later time of coz...and den there will be remedial training for me on another wkend den my sat will be burned but till den i juz hope to recover soon and get well asap...
it's like everyone who goes and comes back from tekong gets the infamous "Tekong Cough"..and i used to tink that it was juz a fallacy but it seems to be true now that almoz every guy i know in ns now is having cough or even worse, bronchitis...hope everyone will be able to get well bah..even if the germs are flying all around juz when one particular person in tekong coughs, hope they will not infect more and more ppl..
at first i still wanted to go back camp tonite and juz hope that my condition would become better without having to see the doctor..i actually had the aim of not having any medical status at all thruout ns or at least for bmt itself...but now it's gone haha..no choice lar this morning felt really terrible den i knew if i tried to struggle thru, i would onli have made things worse for myself...oh well it's much better for me if i recover fully from all my illnesses these few days and from den on, put in my best effort for training without having to worry abt feeling unwell during training...haha self-consolation as usual...
and it feels really weird when i tink of my ns mates who are now inside and i actually wonder what's going on in there now...it feels as though i am missing out on something and that i actually wan to be in camp right now although usually i do not..haha...
haha what a really long extended cny holiday i have had...although the last 2 days is really uncalled for...
