its been a mth or so since i last blogged... time really flies... i din have time to blog too... i am now enlisted into the service of the republic of singapore... which means i'm in camp almost 24/7... i only get to book out on 1pm on sat and i have to be back in camp the next day by 9pm... so with that much time given to me... jus a meger few hours... i'm usually out in town.. meeting up with friends.. rushing to get stuff done... and all the little nitty gritty stuff... not to forget spending some quailty time with my parents... they are working too.. so its sometimes hard for the whole family to be together... so whenever possible... and when everyone in the family is free... i will try to stay home and be with them... being in NS has somewad made me a more family man... cus i dun really get to see them much in a week... sometimes coming back from camp the house will be empty too... well... that also explains why i'm going out most of the time... cus the house is empty too... so wad the point of me staying at home? unless i need to rest and listen to some music... and jus spend some moments by myself...
i finally had home cooked meal last week... yup... my mom cooked... i was delighted when i was told she will cook for my next bookout... well.. ofcus... i haven tasted my mom's cooking in like close to more than a mth.... it was a great dinner... =) better than the ones i get at the camp's cookhouse... which is ofcus... my mom's cooking's DA Best! =)
in this past one mth or so... loads of stuff happened... i can still vividly remember the news i received on my very first bookout... my friend passed away... he met with an accident...
life is fragile...
friends turning 21... meeting with friends... catching up... coffee talks... shopping ard... caught a movie with friends after so long of not watching a single flick... these are jus some of the mth stuff...
when out with my camp mates for the first time yest nite... we could book out yest nite which is a fri because everyone had performed well... so they arranged an early book for everyone.... =) wen home bathed and freshen up... den headed down to jalan kayu for some prata... it seemed like some driving gang scene out of the movies... all the cars behind each other... driving down the road... especially when we drove down to selatar airport... spend some time there soaking in the night atmosphere by the reservoir... stayed up till like 2am before heading home... everyone was tired... including me... i woke up on fri morning at 4.30am... and have been awake all the wae... training... running... packing... bookout... prata... and finally reaching home ard 3am... plonk onto my bed and within sec... i was fast asleep...
one of my friend called me this morning... and i was still sleeping... i ans... said..."erh?...er... ar...mmm.." haha... tts all... and i put down the phone... ya... i was still sleeping... and tts usually the ans ppls will get from me when they call me when i'm still sleeping... =x
time flies... in abt one more mth time i will be completing my BMT... after which hopefully i get some good news from RSAF that i passed my aeromedical... and i will be going for my training in aussie for 2mths... i wanna go all the way... i will make sure i work very hard and get my pilot wings...
den again... i feel alittle bit of a sense of belonging to my formation now... thats what they preach... a sense of belonging... for honor and glory... so by going for pilot.. it seems like i'm jus faking tt sense of belonging all this while... my pc knows that i wen for the aeromedical that day... and now he knows who i am... the other dae when i had my IPPT.. he was there when i did my shuttle run... i clocked quite a good timing... and he asked... how was ur aeromedical? y go for pilot?... somewad like telling me y go pilot... u can stay here...
my ps knows too... he says "y waste a slot here? alot of ppls wanna come here..." den he said... "pilot good... go for it" somewad contradicting... well.. i dun wan to be someone faking that sense of belonging... i dun like ppls who fake... neither am i one who fakes... to be honest... i like being a cdo... i enjoy the esprit de corps... i like the stuff that you can learn... but i know my dream is to fly...
