Sianzness

The weekend was over faster than I could whiff my fresh breath of air.

Went to utilize my weekend so that I could forget the horrid Lim Chu Kang.

Heard news of being activated soon.

Another wave of sianzness.

Damn ssad la.

Anyway.

My weekend. Went out with dozens of different people.

Just to make myself happy.

Am I going into a depressionist state?

I really dunno. And dun care. It's hard to get optimistic.

That's for sure.

Pictures.

The depression is getting to me.

Help!

Bittersweet

I'm back from another gruelling exercise.

With aching feet and sore blisters, I'm taking a respite at home.

Still have a pointless AAR meeting tmr morning. Sianzness.

Even though I was reluctant (and forced ) to go this exercise, I honestly said it was an eye opener.

I learnt so much and I think I learnt the most as compared to the rest who have yet to experiene another round of live firing and doing planning and executing it in a garang battalion.

Damn shagged after the first mission.

Hanging on barely with lil water left, my GA (gunnery assistant) was all the brink of breakdown.

Thank god I found the OP fast before sundown.

Oh well, guess many will NEVER understand what I'm going thru or understand what I'm saying above.

It's all military chatter.

Just glad it's a learning experience.

Exhausting. But Enlightening.

Tasting the bittersweet reward,
Benjamin

Low

Third time I'm blogging this.

Blogger has crashed on me 3 times.

I'm ultimate sianzness.

Finished with FO challenge.

32km route march with navigation exercises and test stations to clear.

I now have blisters, aching feet and sore calves for proof.

I so don't have enough rest.

And Monday I need to go over to another camp for 5 whole days.

For some planning and outfield exercise.

Another low for me.

I thought coming back from overseas and my battalion would be like lull.

Guess not.

I have like so much more things to do.

And I just want to improve my fitness and look good physically.

Looks like an impossible dream to achieve when I'm in the army.

I just feel damn low.

I just feel like I am so occupied. Feels like in OCS again.

If some ppl dont CHAO KENG and not become an ARSEHOLE, maybe then, my life wont be that tough.

Happy CNY - Party doggie style

Yes, the festival is over.

The hongbaos have been ripped dried.

And the goodies are settling its Fats on various homo sapiens.

Chinese New Year is over and the aftermath of it lies on the guilt of the increasing waistlines and the smug looks from owners of wallets with thick wads of 2 dollar notes.

My pickings for this year was average.

Commiserable compared to the national average (i.e. what my friends collected).

I enjoyed myself, visting various homes and pillaging Mommas of giving away the minimum 4 bucks wahahaha.

Standard fare healthy gathering

I wish everyone a great Dog year ahead.

My schedule for this week is farked up.

Who said being an officer is E A S Y ?

I got route march, FO Challenge, taking over stanby stores and being on STANBY and attending ICCT (combat skills). And also 2 DO duties for this week.

Sianzness is too understated for this week.

I just want this week to be over. Sigh.

A not-so-great beginning for the Dog Year but hey, life goes on.

Optimistic,
Benjamin
