"All the leaves are brown. And the sky is grey."

I miss my ex recruits from Zulu Company Platoon 2. Yes i know this is the 2nd time im ranting about them. But really, as the days and weeks gone by taking this current batch of PTP recruits, i just feel that i'm sad that i'm taking a bunch of recruits who would never be able to match up to the livelihood standards of my previous batch.

The feeling of respect for the previous batch is always here in my heart. Knowing that they went through field camp in the rain, at night, yet still came out happy and smiling. Taking 2 sections and bringing them away for a great FIBUA Battle Royale. Sweeet! Talk about Commanding respect, respecting command. I feel that i've done my best being able to be free at imparting military knowledge to my fellow recruits at that time. This current batch, i'm a little bit of facing difficulties in bonding with my section and imparting you-got-to-think-out-of-the-box military mooves and tactics. And not all die die must follow lesson plan. Thats ridiculous! I'm sure that'll UP them for whats to come in the future, like lets say, OCS or SISPEC.

The other day during Quebec field camp, i met up with Gary (the man!), Garret (da dude!) and Wei Liang (ze devil artist). They were doing their navax and so happened to walk past my campsote. Hahaha. Love them loads man. Miss them lots. They're doing fine from what i can see. And kuddos to them for that. It always feels great to see that you have somehow altered the path of people, making them into something even better.


Damn, i hate being in a place where i will never get to chiong sua not necessarily as much as in SISPEC, but a bit. Hck, my 2.4km timing deproved a lot. From my personal best of 9.02min before coming to BMT to 10.10min. Thats like so 1 min plus difference. I'm getting the bulge. I dont care. But i do care that i cant jump. Shitty man. There will go my $200...for not getting GOLD for IPPT. Darn!



Freaking hell, i've sort of picked up smoking. Not reaslly smoking smoking like a real smoker does. I just leant how to tarik and it wasnt THAT 1-time-get-hooked sort of thing. I'm a real casual smoker. Let's just say, 2 puffs per day for me and that'll be enough. Haha. I'm serious. Well, thats how casual i am. For now. Dont intend to go hardcore regular anyways. You kill yourself, you kill the world as well when you smoke. Damn thats just being stupid!


Last, but never the least, Happy Birthday to you! Well, you know who you are... ;)
