A tinge of narcissism...

My 1 week leave is ending so soon.
Did loads of things, for eg. Slacking at home, watching movies, catching up with friends.
Things that i wont get to do in the army.
My ass is getting better, if you are asking, the wound is healing.

Caught 28weeks later by myself earlier this week.
The show is FANTASTIC, better than the previous 28 days later.
If you are wondering, the show revolves around

"...even months after the rage virus has annihilated the British isles, the US army declares that the war against infection has been won, and that the reconstruction of the country can begin. In the first wave of returning refugees, a family is reunited--but one of them unwillingly carries a terrible secret. The virus is not yet dead, and this time, it is more dangerous than ever "- imdb.

Hi all, my week sucks.

This is perhaps the worst week of 2007.

1) Got admitted to Hospital, CGH
2) Had my first operation(surgery), on my right butt... Abscess
3) Nearly got Out Of Course from commandos.
4) Horrible field trips, range and hygience :(
5) Wasted my Attend C of 12 days, got converted to light duties due to the need to go for the outfields.

But...

I am on week for a week !!! Yeah. my course officially ends this week. Going over to Hendon camp for airborne course soon..yeah.

Been quite lazy to post lately. Have been a Private for a month plus now, yet i am still getting the damn $350 pay. The saf owes me a few hundred bucks... :( Hope to see a 4 fig salary in my account next month.

Last Friday was probably the most heart-pumping day after the A level results day. It was the Basic Airborne Course selection test and i was just too jumpy over it. The reason was simple, i wasnt confident in passing it. 8 pull ups!? gosh... it was a dream since i entered the army in dec. Yet, i managed to do it. :) A clap for Gabriel! Yes, i passed the BAC test. I guess i be jumping off the c-130 in due time....

Up to hitherto, my stay in wpn course proves be a period of enthrilling roller-coaster ride. Some bad days, and some definitely good ones. Live Firings are indoubtly must-die experiences that a man, or a boy can ever dream about. Big Guns, Small Guns... Guns that kill.

At this current stage, i am in the 2nd phase of my course. This month's gonna be a tough baby...expecting loads of pimple outbreaks due to the outfields at marsiling. Argggg~~~SNAG SNAG SNAG HAtes Bad Face Day.

Many at times, i think of my bmt days. Good days, turnouts and the rants of impetuous sergeants. I miss my buddies, the mates of platoon 4- det 3. The 12 of us, all divided among the various courses.
1 leader
5 weaponman
1 medic
3 signallers
1 demo

and sadly...1 out of course. RICHARD LAM!!! WHY DID U LEAVE!!! Stupid damn arse. See la..See la...

Bookouts are days much appreciated.
"Book Out Loh!", an often colloquial word clinged by soliders....Days where love ones meet loved ones... boy meets girls... boy frequents macdonalds... boy smiles :)

Anyway, the list goes on... ranting bout army life and what follows.

Signing off now,

Ciaos amigos.
