[Mood: Fine] [Mentally: Great] [Physically: Okay] [State of Mind: Normal]
Been a long time since I updated, again. Lolz. There is nothing really to update. I'll just type out what happened in the past month.
Had my block leave early this month, just after my POI duties at Jurong Island. It was fun doing POI, and I guess 6SIR had it good for them. The block leave was a welcomed one, and I took some time off army to catch up with my personal life.
There was this BBQ organised by my secondary school friends at ECP. Not many people turned up though. Most of them were busy with their own things, so I supposed it was quite alright. The BBQ itself wasn't that bad, although as quoted by one of my friends in her blog,
"Hey..Its super irritating that they stick to their respective gfs/bfs and well the whole point of a gathering is to catch up with friends right? How can we do that when your gfs/bfs are stuck with you. C'mon...Just a reminder to all those couples out there..Its fine to bring ur better/or not better half along for gatherings..but pls its not a date..its a gathering..Think social dynamics.. "Unfortunately, it was this friend I unintentionally irritate later that day. Something about cats and women. Meant it as a joke, really. But I guess after what I have been through, my perspective and her perspective of jokes are not quite on the same frequency. So yes, I was wrong to make that comment, Fizah. My fault. I won't do that again.
Away from bad feelings and cats, I had an ATEC Stage 1 mock test last Thursday. As a commander, I was tested on the basics such as navigation, communications, demolitions, and etc. I did pretty well on navigation, managed to finish it within 15 minutes compared to others who took as long as an hour. Demolitions wasn't that bad either. Breaching? Not a problem. In fact, one of my friends was sick that day so he wasn't in camp, and I took over his section through the breaching test.
After the test, my company got to book out... Except me. I was on duty for the day, adn can only book out the following morning. Unfortunately it was a short block leave which ends, tonight. Yeap, I am going back to camp tomorrow morning for commanders' training. Haizz. Looking forward to next wek's short block leave.
Had a sudden jump in the number of movies I watched this month. Good movies came out, great movies coming soon. I want to watch "Night At The Museum", but I guess I'll have to wait until someone is free to accompany me.
To cap off this excruciating short block leave, I got myself a Playstation Portable (PSP). I was debating on whether to get this, or a Creative Zen Vision:M, to replace my LCD-spoilt MP3 player. After much feedback, the PSP can also play games on top of music and videos. So I decided to compromise the 30GB of Zen Vision:M and go for the additional feature of gaming on the PSP. Also bought a 1GB and 4GB MemoryStick Pro Duo.
What a funny week. Last day of the leave, I found out I accidentally hurt a friend. Last day of the leave, I realised I must be compromising with how much time I can spend with that someone. I should really change for the better.
