and so, the clearance is done. meaning to say, im free to leave ati, the army. for now that is, not to mention the reservist lar.
as i proceed to do the clearance today in camp. met with many of the senior officers in order to get their precious signature on my crumpled clearance form. somehow, each time one of them placed their unique signature onto my paper, i felt this really "sinking" feeling within me. at the same time, that "unbelievable" feeling that its probably the last time seeing them already. as they wish us all the best in our studies and as we bid our last farewell to them, somehow, all the grudges, complaints of sorts are all dismissed. because, deep inside, i know. im gonna miss them.
yet. i've to go. because in this life, i've something more important to attend to.
i guess.

can you believe it? i cant.

TCC 01/06 POP (my crew)
TCC 02/06 (poly batch)
TCC 01/07 (JC batch)
come this nov 6th, i'd have finished my nsf liability to serve this very nation.
it was close to two years ago, after my A's when i received the news that i'd be enlisted on the 7th of jan 2006. its only upon receiving the news that i started to make up for lost time, meeting with friends and all, esp my loved ones (you know who you are), knowing very much that time would prove to be a hurdle to us very soon. i admit, i was scared, but was rather positive as i entered service, knowing that i'd make great buddies there.
then i went in. its a whole different ball game. there were times i find myself struggling to adapt to life in there, the lost of freedom, the lack of time to do whatever you wanted to, you're in other words trapped, locked out from the world. when you're only in tekong, a penguin ferry trip away, right dan? then there was it. POP, and you find yourself being thrown into the real system. some as commanders and some as men. i hated sispec. i really did. booking out at sat evenings and back in again on sundays. that sucked man. it stretched me over the weekends. so much to do, so little time to do so. but im glad you there always made time for me. just too bad i didnt cherish it ya. then there was the graduation march, the 28km that i missed! till now still many pple say i 'geng', haha, but it wasnt me who planned to fall sick just days before it. it'd have been quite an achievement to join you guys too, i thought.
life after sispec was better. i was posted to armour, armour infantry section leader course. AISL in short. however i made the switch, to the tank commander course, TCC (not the coffee coinesseur). of which i spent my last 1 year at. the tank commander course proved to be yet the toughest course i've been through. we as armour specialists, have to go through 18weeks of trg in order to get that chevron rank of 3sg, compared to the rest which required 10-12 weeks. then, we as trainees, are put under tremendous pressure to perform, especially during the PT sessions, with warrant low ranting down the red tracks we used to run at. hah. it works i tell you. its no wonder why we produced 80% ippt gold that course. yeah, and tcc was where i got my ippt gold for both workyears too. i never remembered being that fit even during soccer days in jc. 8:32 for the 2.4 and 7:48 for the soc man. as the tankees are the minority, its little wonder why our course is the most close-knitted and united. because we know, we cant afford to leave anyone out. thats why we persevered, and im glad most of my friends made it. we got our 3sg chevron come our POP.
then there was life as an instructor in ATI. it was so called the "easy way out" as compared to our unit counterparts, i mean thats what everyone says, though i beg to differ. life as an instructor was certainly enlightening and fruitful. for once i find serving the nation have its perks and fun too! seriously. i really thank course comd for givin us that much freeplay to exercise our command and control, course warrant for trying not to snowball our activities, and 2ic for keeping us that fit all the time. not forgetting my colleagues, they're the ones why my mario kart standard is always improving, and they are also the reason why i like my job.
last but not least, i'd like to thank my buddy. for that endless troubles i've caused him, for all the morning wake up calls even though he's not DI, for all the stupid shit he have to clean for me. through you, yong xiang, i've learnt alot. you've made me stronger, especially during that heartbreak period. haha. but guess what, after saying all these. i'd still warn you, the shit is not over buddy! thanks again. and averil loves peck, not JJ. haha! ORD mood!!!!!!! 10:19 PM
i'd like to thank all these people,
who in one way or another,
made my stay as a tank instructor,
a fruitful one :)

well, my nsf career coming to an end soon. less than 5 working days left i'd say. i've been telling most of my friends and loved ones how i feel that i'd probably be lost say when i ord. maybe even before that, when im clearing my leave. i've been stuck with this group of great colleagues in tcc for such a long time, i'll definately be missing out on alot of stuff when im gone man. and not to forget my SM1, chiong sua with us, comms down with us, go basic main range with us and POP-ed and ORD-ed with us. where to find such a good buddy. they say the Sar21 is your wife. i'd say my wife is the AMX-13 SM1. i should really post some beautiful pictures of my wife soon.
okok, anyway back to the whole picture. all i want to say was that, i really enjoyed my stay in tcc, be it as a trainee or an instructor likewise. i'd like to express all my gratitude to anyone or whoever has/had helped me before in ATI and all. i really appreciated it. last but not least, i'd say, whatever was sacrificed moulding myself to who i am today, is worth it, no regrets whatsoever.

but somehow, it doesnt feel that great after all.
something is missing.

hello people! im back! a whole month of absence man.
i must say this one month plus over there in roc, is really taking its toll on me.. the endless feeling of homesick and the missing of the numerous people here. it really puts a test on the r/s with the people here dont you think? but i think that its all good. ya, sometimes things just work this way, as they always say, "absence makes the heart grow fonder" (does it ring a bell to you?).
anyway, its been a more relaxed frame than previous, not to mention this time round we got 4 days of RnR. the four days of RnR was pretty well spent, even though i thought the conducted tour was kinda bad, when 1/2 of the time was really spent travelling! but my views may be sorta warped, since this is the third time in 2 years coming to these "places of interests".
anyway, the main takeaway from this trip is that i survived all the breath-taking rides on jian fu shan. haha.. seriously man, ord mood makes a big different. and as usual, we popped by to shilin and ximending, except this time round we managed to make a trip to "wu fen pu" and also "dan shui lao jie". although i personally think shilin and ximending is still the best la. spent quite a big amount of money this time round, but i choose to believe its mostly spent on stuff for my loved ones rather than myself. :D but i think i still spent more on myself la! wahaha. and not to mention! i went to this interesting restaurant called "modern toilet", how cute right.
hai.. random random... i miss my soccer man! like seriously, a month and 5 weekends w/out my favourite sport. genesis, match pls!! 9:51 AM
