I'll be leaving for brunei in a few more days and all is melancholic. As daniel puts it, its "a cursed land that god has forsaken". The safety briefing we had on the trip was certainly sobering and we saw all the horrors that awaits us.
I have been posted to signals(!) which is absolutely lovely. It's like 10 minutes from my house and the fact that so many brudders are there already ensure that my life there will be good xD.
It's sad, seeing brothers walk away. Joint term awaits!

Not the wu-shi finger hold!
It's a quiet monday night and I'm in my bunk. The wing has booked out and im the @#$#ing Cadet Duty Officer today, so the hole building has me and this other guy. It's really quite and experience to just sit in front of this computer and slowly type what I have wanted to always say for the past few weeks but never got down to doing it, while there are no screams of pain and guitar noises and other what-have-yous in the background.
One thing about life in the army is that despite limiting the quantity of time you have with your family and friends, the amount of quality time you have with them actually increases. They certainly do treat me like royalty whenever i'm home =D
I do miss going to church and just enjoying myself, and bumming around at home or playing at the street court. OCS is certainly not easy on one's work-life balance (haha) and relationships. I just learnt that my block leave is not so much a block but a 1 day off before I go into my senior term.
The commissioning parade was held last Saturday and I saw the 69th batch of officers walk smartly out into the stadium. As they sang the OCS song ( We come from OCS, we are the very best.....) I saw many cadets and parents struggle to hold their emotions back. It really is a very long journey, and I hope that I can sing that song and march out on the parade square with my chest filled with pride. As erwin aptly put: " It's worth it; all of this."
Social night is up next, on thursday where I really hope to have a fun night with my platoon and their dates.

change side change
It's been a long time since i updated, with good reason. I've finished about a great chunk of the ocs syllabus for service term and I must say i'm impressed with myself because i really never never thought i could do it. Shows alot of mind over matter =D
Sierra platoon 3 is really awesome and I'm gonna miss all of them when we split up to go to our various vocations.
together, we are sierra wing
together, we are platoon 3
together, we are marching on
together we will sing this song
we are, we are platoon 3
2 years serve our country
don't care, who's our enemy
beware, we are platoon 3, platoon 3
