This ought to be one of the weirdest time I'm blogging cause I'm on a nights out and have to book in at 2300. My main objective of coming house was to (it's gonna sound stupid, lol) get a roll of toilet paper cause someone stole mine while I was sleeping and I left my locker open. Was telling my buddy about it and we both laughed cause...of all the things in my locker, like money, Nitendo DS, MP3, etc. That person stole...toilet paper? Lol!
So came back home, and after taking my toilet paper, decided it was too early. Went to play some games and read manga and got bored. Then I was blog hopping and realized it's been sooo long since I last updated my own blog, lol.
Reason being, this is the place I vent all my frustrations for most of the bad things that happened to me in the army. But for the past few months, either there hasn't been much of those bad things, or my capacity has increased and what seemed to be bad in the past is now normal/endurable to me. Especially after getting my 1st extra duty, most of the other punishments seem like no kick, lol. Knocked it down? No problem. Get scolded and shouted in front of the whole company? No problem. Get arrowed to do dirty jobs? No problem. Get backstabbed, frontstabbed, sidestabbed by people around me? No problem.
Thank God for making me stronger than before. Now even when I heard some of us have to stay in Australia for 6 weeks for phase 2 of Wallaby while the rest of the people can fly back to Singapore after 3 weeks, and I'm one of those 'chosen ones', I don't really feel stressed out or anything. If it was last year, I would have gone crazy. Still remembered calling Chung last year at 12am midnight just the day before we packed our duffel bag to send to Australia. And I told him that I couldn't take it anymore and I wanna go crazy, lol!
Now I hereby proclaim that...this blog shall no longer be the avenue of venting my frustrations. Cause even I feel quite sian after reading all those posts, lol. No doubt I'll still feel downtrodden at times but I thank God I'm still alive everyday. The fact that I can live, is reason enough to be happy. =)
