Sunday, June 25, 2006 My prayers were not answered. . . I can only stare in disappointment as i miss one shot after another. . . $200. . . 1 day off. . . all gone. . .I've always been a bobo shooter. . . and i should even dismiss myself of any chances to becoming a marksman. . . yet suddenly, i see a glimpse of hope that give me to dare to dream of try for the $200 and day off. . . Thursday was a good day. . . a day i live in paradise. . . It was trial test and i would never imagine that i can fire that well. . a total of 29/40. . . Though it was not a marksman score. . it was a surprise. . . just 3 shots away from marksman and if compared, the result would be ranked among the highest in the company. . . My morale was flying high. . . Friday was the actual shooting test. . . the day i was demoted to hell. . . Brimming with confident, i pray and was looking forward to get something out of it. . . I fired. . . and shots after shots i missed. . . clearly lady luck wasn't with me this time. . the result's out. . . 10/24. . . i couldn't even pass. . . devastated. . . $200 is gone. . . Reverted back to my old self. . . mr bobo. . . it took me two re-shoot before i could even make it to the passing mark. . . i pondered if i was too over-confident at the first place. . . Zeroing. . i blame it on the zeroing. . . yet it can't hide the embarrassing fact that i am mr bobo. . . Been a pretty hectic week so far. . . but time pass quite far this way. . . Met our new pc. . . or no. . . pcs. . . There's two. . . 2Lt Hong and 2Lt Benson. . . 2Lt Hong was supposed to be our pc initially. . . he was the sword of merit and i can tell you he's really nice. . . Sword of merit. . . it triggered fear in everyone when we first heard of it. . . must be some garang, super crazy officer that we are gonna have. . . but no. . . And not only that he wasn't so. . . He was just so kind to us that i must say he's probably one of the nicest person i ever came across in SAF. . . No one. . . No one officer will ever offer to help you buy things when you had to sacrified your nights out in order to wash vehicle. . . No one, no one officer will buy you food when you have to do guard duty at night. . . No one, no one officer will offer to do a rundown the ATP range with you in order to motivate you to shoot better. . . He just treated us like friends and brothers. . . Everyone liked him so much and how i wish he could have stay and become our pc. . . but no he is not. . . He will be posted to other company because the CO said that Sword of merit shouldn't waste his ability in a support company, and sending him to combat company will make use of him to his fullest potential. . What a crappy CO i have. . . He will leave us eventually and then came a headache. . . His replacement, 2Lt benson. . . I could tell he is garang. . . and life will not be easy under him. . . The way he played soccer with us. . . tireless, almost as though he's playing it with his life. . . if this reflect how he is going to manage us. . . i guess it's time to get mentally prepared for miseries. . . Sunday, June 18, 2006 I look desperate. . . don't i. . ? Yes. . . Maybe i 'm really desperate. . . desperate to make the best use of my ns time. . . desperate to pick up new things. . . desperate to wipe away the rusts in my brain. . .Learning guitar. . . taking up motorbike course. . . i'm trying. . . and giving my best in everything i do. . . even for normal physical training in camp. . . But yet i realised. . . i'm a slow learner. . . i pick up things so much slower than others. . . and things just sometimes get really difficult. . . Friday's IMT was a repetition of another awful bmt experience. . . While firing a SAR21 was a completely new thing to me. . . . i witnessed so many first-timers passed their shooting after their first round of firing and while i couldn't even pass my shooting after my third round. . . Bobo shooter. . . What a shame. . . It's awkward and embarrassing. . . I could just say shooting is not my forte. . . yet you can't conceal the fact that this is not an excuse. . . Been training hard for the week. . . I suddenly transformed into a garang soldier. . . putting in so much effort during trainings. . . Great performances during trainings. . . and naturally others have high expectation of you. . . Saturday's SOC. . . Many expected me to pass. . . so much so that i was so optimistic about passing. . . Doing SOC was hell. . . and i would have been so thankful to god if i had managed to got through. . . I never wanna go through SOC for a second time. . . It was a disappointment. . . i reached the end point. . . expended every last bit of my energy and realised the awful truth. . . 10 08. . i failed. . . Came back for my second motorbike lesson. . . and though everything appears to be going very well. . . clearly it's not. . . At the end of the lesson, i received a stern advice from my instructor. . . He said. . "if you continue to be so nervous during your lesson and not knowing when to change your gear and use you brake, your progress will be very slow. . " Simple words, but yet they were harsh to me. . . While i was kinda delighted with my progress, managing to move onto the larger circuit only during my second lesson, the instructor words stucked me really hard. . . It's hard to describe the kinda impact that it has on me, but i could say he was right. . . Moving on to the large circuit, riding on it for the first time, i was totally at a lost of what to do. . . This was the time i got so nervous and tense up that my mind just went hazewire. . . screwing up. . i just scrambled my way throughout the whole rundown. . . It was a typical characteristictic of me. . . Like a virus in me that courses me to panick and then hinder the progress in whatever i do. . . Monday's another SOC test again. . another round of hell. . . i pray that i can make it this time and get it done with once and for all. . . Meanwhile. . . hope that my determination will keep me going while learning my new trades. . . It takes tremendous patience and determination. . . but believing is always the key to success. . . Saturday, June 17, 2006 Daniel was right. . . "If a gal like him, do he still needa be waiting for 2 years. . . ? " She felt obliged to go out with him because she does not want to let him down for all that he has done. . . but. . that's not love. . .It's not my story. . but i could clearly see a similar picture in myself. . . If she ever likes me, will i be waiting for so long. . ? I guess never. . . We are friend. . good friend. . . and i don't see how is this gonna change. . . I know too well of the reason why. . . Whenever we went out, i could feel that she wasn't too much enjoying being with me. . . She was often the one doing most of the conversating and i. . . i was often too quiet. . . I just never seem to be able to perform the magic to make her happy when she was with me. . . It's tiring. . . It's all my fault. . . Perhaps letting go is good for both of us. . . But i found it hard. . . Hard to let go of someone i truly love so much. . . Yet i can't find any reason to let things carry on in this way. . . It's too tiring for her and myself. . Let her go. . Let my devotion not be a kinda tie-down for her. . . let her be free to search for her own happiness. . . someone who can bring her joys and laughters, someone she will enjoy being with. . . let her be not worry about repaying me what i have done for her. . . I chose to leave her world from now on. . . and if fate can bring us back together one day. . . i hope it will grant us a chance to be together. . . Good bye. . . Sunday, June 04, 2006 Arts and social sciences. . I've finally made up my mind to accept it. . . As much as i hope that it will not be my ultimate destination, i won't have a choice if reality persist in this way. . .It's heaven's will. . . Throughout my years, i've been dealt with such similar blows over and over again. . . I have never got the choice of school i wanted. . . Remember the time after my psle, i tried to enter Xinmin Secondary, but ended in Bowen eventually. . . After O level, i opted to say in Nanyang JC, but history repeated itself. . . i ended in SRjc. . . And now. . Business is what i wanted. . . they gave me Arts and social sciences. . . yet they were all blessing in disguise. . . i never regretted studying in both school, they had given me joyous memories, nurture me to someone i'm now and brought me plenty of good friends. . . i can't imagine how much different i will be if any of this have not taken place. . . so maybe. . . heaven has been kind. . . I've proceeded with my future plan and signed up for the motorbike course. . . Aftering seeing so many other opting for class 3 car license at this time. . . i chose not to follow suit. . . i don't see such an urgency to get a class 3 license when i obviously know that i wouldn't be able to afford a car in the near future. . . instead, a class 2B motorbike license will be more realistic at this time. . . i will be able to afford a motorbike and it will save me plenty of travelling time to camp and then in future. . to university. . . They said it's dangerous. . . i know. . . but i guess as long as i do not speed and observe safety everything can be under control. . . if it's not. . then maybe it's destiny. . if you are destined to meet with a mishap, then it will make no different whether you are riding a motorbike or driving a car. . . Just went for my first lesson and i can tell you the feeling of riding a motorcycle is really good. . . Though i got really tense up at my first taste of riding on the vehicle, i totally enjoyed it. . . It's kinda not easy to pick up the skills of riding for a beginner like me. . . and maybe, it will take quite a long time for me to obtain the license since i can only take lessons in the weekend. . . It's another long long weekend for me. . . Don't stare at me with jealousy. . . Don't think that we are slack. . . We earned it, we deserved it. . . The whole of the week was allocated to complete the rest of the grandstands. . . All of us worked hard, and my team even managed to put up two grandstands in just one day. . . That spelled our efficiency and marked our capabilities. . . It's certainly not something easy. . . We worked extremely hard, we sweat like noone's business and risked ourselves gettin sun burn by working hours under the hot sun. . . Everyone played their part just to get the job done as quickly as possible. . . The off days that were given and the leaves that they allowed us to clear was just only a small reward for our achievements. . Well no doubt this week was much relaxing than the other. . . All of the intended PT sessions were cancelled and we got to play soccer every night, but that will not last. . . After next week, we can be expecting vigorous trainings and outfield exercises. . . That was what we were told. . . So. . . just let us let our hair down while we can. . . |
