It's 6 h 17min away from book in. Book in has never been a pleasant experience for me but being posted to SGC jus made it worse. At least SisPEc and tekong had transport to and from camp. here it's tucked away in some uber ulu corner that i dunno if it's still considered part of singapore. Even the cemeteries are more accessible! As if that is not enough, we go in to be verbally AND physically abused by our instructors.

Since BMT, I've heard enough of my commanders comparing again and again my platoon with previous batches that they have taken. Once again A levels vs Poly blah blah blah. "Good with theory but not very practical - did u take physics?" Give us a break! It's the first time we broke track and we were playing around with the tools, trying to get used to the process and there u had to be passing such judgemental comments, as if we are absolutely useless. We dont even get a chance to familiarise ourselves and these people, who are most seasoned of veterans, shoot their mouths off at us. If you are unhappy with the system (or with signing on for tt matter), go tell the top brass, dont take it out on us. If you think A levels shldnt take on such duties, go tell the bigwigs - we have no say in many things! Why can't our commanders take us for what it is and evaluate us more fairly and not be comparing us to the good old days or previous courses. Every course is different and they shldnt superimpose stereotypes or their views on us. Training objectives have to be met but the approach is really diff for diff people. haiz. If there is one thing all of my commanders need, they need patience and less of a smothering touch. Sometimes, i dun even know how i can go back wk after wk and survive. Seems like the system has ingrained something in me. Im a proud product of the syst.


On a lighter note, Gaius and it seems Jim are coming over for AIOCC. can my next PC be someone tt i know? at least it'll be easier to get along and there will be less of not seeing eye to eye....i think. haha

One Day I'll Fly Away -Moulin Rouge OST

I follow the night,
cant stand the light.
When will i begin,
to live again?

One day i'll fly away,
leave all these to yesterday.
What more could your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream?
And dread the day when dreaming ends...

One day i'll fly away,
leave all these to yesterday.
Why live life from dream to dream?
And dread the day when dreaming ends...

One day i'll fly away,
Fly, fly away.
