   this is my second time writing this entry. u can imagine what happened to a few unfortunate stools in my room. browser error arghs.... i hate it when this happens... rush rush rush... every weekend is the same. i've always got a lack of time for things. haiz. no time to whine more. straight into the story...

   monday was plain sailing n we seemed to have gotten used to life n training in one guards. then the visit of RSM for a talk. it spells trouble as loud as T - R - O - U - B - L - E !!!!!!!!!!! By evening time, we had gotten wind from our platoon sergeant of the impending storm. a tekan session at 2000h that night. monday night n we had to endure this shit... drats.. what a bad way to start the week.

   i wouldn't think i had any fault at all coz firstly we booked out on saturday unlike the rest of the company who booked out on friday night. moreover, i wasn't one of those who had guard duty on that saturday(which happened to be valentine's day) & didn't turn up with an excuse of attend c. And i wasn't the one who reported with attend c yet caught not at home by the COS who called his house all day long. so, i deem myself outta blame. we shouldn't be punished. it was juz that black sheep. if u want, punish him but y us? we r the ones who booked out on saturday at faraway bedok n obediently turned up every sunday night faithfully...

   some of the tekan-ing u could read from my phlogs probably if u had been following.. well,... it includes plenty of alternate leg thrusts, 150 counts of eight of jumping jacks & lotsa pushups & crunches !! in short, the experience was xiong! there was even change parade. admin to smart four in 2 minutes? it's impossible...

   tuesday morning we were change paraded again... someone moved in the file they say.. but who lnows? i would skin the guy who moved that morning.. pt kit to admin to smart four. pumped, jacked & crunched... sweated too.. living a life as stressful as this ain't good for us. we couldn't sleep when we had the breaks in between lessons n training. n our muscles were aching from all the jacking etc...

   but,... as i believed. once wednesday is over, it'll be much easier to live out the week. after soc, the rest of the week would be realli considered nothing near the xiongness during the start of the week at all.. i was delighted to noe i had passed my soc with a timing of 9min flat. bicycle hook helps perhaps. having no toggle rope might have an impact too.. haha...

   thursday & friday basically nothing much to comment about except for swimming training(1km swim), ippt trainining & games day where i played soccer. saturday was ippt test. i couldn't get a gold. i was realli disgusted to find that i could oni jump 225++ but not my last jump of 234. disappointment lor... pullups i could oni do my usual 8. y no improvement? sianz ah... running was my best event n perhaps my most satisfying result in this ippt test. i ran a 9.26 breaking my previous personal best of 9.39 in my first ippt test in one guards. the run was a lil' no kick in the sense that our bodies were sorta used to the looooong runs like 6km n 7km already n then suddenly oni 2.4km. so feel a lil' no kick lor... got silver overall... but still a big disappointed. shall try harder next week.

   saturday planned to meet her but din. she was tired. more disappointment. wasted half my day online at home. night fell n i went to uncle place to watch soccer. newcastle beat boro 2-1 at st. james' park. shearer saved the blushes realli coz their performances was shitty.

   sunday morning i met jm for breakfast prata at casuarina. heh.. i had one kosong, one cheese n half a milky prata. jm had 3 kosong, one cheese and half a milky prata. we shared a plate of mutton too.. we walked home after that. as we walked, we caught up with one another's life in army. all the tekan, tuff training etc... it is always nice to catch up with good frens.. we rested a while at my place using the internet for awhile before i met apple for a movie. we watched "along came polly". it was a nice show. i had similarities with characters in the show that i can't make up my mind n i realli like to live life on the edge a lil'... she is the more cautious n conservative type.. i had my dinner n got sent her home. oh ya, we tried to get cheryl a gift but we had only got some stickers to show for our effort. coz that's the only thing michelle told me she liked. well, i'll try finding again next week with her. now to pack n book in....
