I have no idea what's the phenomenon when you exhale you can see your breath right infront of you is called but I experienced that locally. Yes in Singapore, on a hill among the grass on a rainy day. I was kinda surprised to see that happening because since young I'd always thought a very chilly ...  read more

24KM route march is finally over. Phew!

We secured a second placing when our OC only expected us not get the bottom 3. As mentioned by our 2IC previously, we should work together as a company and make history (since we almost always lost every games day). And today, he announced that we had done the impossible and made history by b...  read more

I don't think I'll ever get this dirty rolling in the mud again. My friend was right -- it's a once in a lifetime chance to get this dirty. I reeked of shit smell before I shower, and trust me, you have no idea how bad I smelled.

Crap, I don't remember passing my NAPFA ever since primary 4 when one of the test items became chin-ups. Well, I'm proud to say today I made history and passed my IPPT (army's equivalent of NAPFA).

... which hasn't happened in a while since I entered the army. It feels good to once again chat with her about my life in army, reassuring her that life in there is good (and not as bad as she might think) because she saw the blisters and wounds I have on me. This is one hour well spent -- I c...  read more

The 3 days that is part of the criteria to judge if I am eligible for command school (to be a sergeant or lieutenant). Oh well, I guess I fared really bad during this 3 days because I didn't participate actively nor talk a great deal.Whatever it is, the 12-km route march there is over, and I'm do...  read more
