the beginning

heyyyyyyyyyyyy it seems it's been a while huh? haha. more like an eternity man. couldn't find the energy or rather was too lazy to post anything new.

well the past 1 month plus has been quite an enjoyable roller coaster ride. not too tough yet not too slack to make me bored. a very nice mixture of fun and shit. mmmm smells like chicken.

got my posting to go SISPEC. heartbroken. frustrated. suicidal. in agony. hahaha no fucking way have i ever felt like that la. only bloody emotional people with no sense of practicality or self control do that. i just felt... cheated. how come some of the underserving 1s can get to go in when i know i'm so much better? anyway resigned myself to my fate and told myself to get into OCS through the alternative route. secretly i hoped that it was just the pilot application taking to long to process. give them some time, they might post me there when the processing's done.

so off i went to SISPEC. the place is new, not bad, but it feels like a prison with the greyish buildings and sweltering weather with no trees overhead. the first day was spent orientating myself to the place and people, as per usual. i think the company, Juliet Company, i was in was a rather slack company. it was newly formed, so the OC and Sergeants were all assembled from other different companies. therefore, there could be 2 conclusions: a) xiong like siao, since the OC would be trying to prove something through results, or b) slack like siao. luckily for the others, it was slack like siao. one of the sergeats made it very clear that during field camp, as long as we did the drills well, the rest of the time would be spent having a little R&R. super slack. spent the night hoping the new posting would come soon...

i slept there for that night. the next day, i was gone. or was it the day after? haha. yeah i thnk it was for 1 night only. did IPPT in the morning. then 1 sergeant came into the lecture room with an email. waaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahaah damn shocked but happy. took a cab with a few other lucky souls like me to OCS. yada yada... settled down... yada yada and stuff. but it was slightly more difficult to mix because i came in 1 day late. missed out important house rules and the welcome message. wow man... i never thought that all these things which i often thought were bullshit could be so important.

routine interview by instructor that night i think. asked why i came to OCS. was it because i applied for pilot? the answer: no. wow that makes it even better. i came in on my own merits, which means those whom i thought were not as good somehow got in because they were lucky. ok just pacifying myself. anyway it was a wrong posting, that was why i went to SISPEC for the 1st day. anyway, the main issue was, i'm here!

and that was just the start of the journey. and it's such a long post already. hope i don't bore you. more posts coming up, if i can find the willpower. haha
