Been some time since i last update this journal. Pretty much have happened from the last post its rather hectic but meaningful in a way.
First up, post Rigel event was immediately to organize and lead a new team to run Southernwaves' recruitment drive. Its definitely a big challenge leading these kids some of whom just join us and are not very sure of our culture and identity. Nonetheless i guess being the adviser to the team headed by Jeremy and through the journey with them helped them and myself grow into a better person. Oh did i say that this event was hinged with the bukit timah/ jurong district cubs campfire? the campfire gone smoothly as usual with coxswain's and tris's combined "clown-ness" it worked like magic. However, i guess for the recruitment booth it didn't really meet the leader's expectations and lacks the oomph...heard from cox that leaders said it was a good effort but not a good job. This kinda affected me to what i see if the team failed i failed them....now left with all the post event accounts to do which is another big headache as well...sheesh.
Next, paddling training with kenghee is GREAT!! been regularly for the past 2weeks heading down to waterventure kallang and changi respectively to paddle..even though the rest of the rovers didn't made it there for some reasons or another its good bonding for both of us i must say. KH is really a good instructor could'nt believed that i successfully executed eskimo roll just last sunday! all the efforts goes to him coaching me and rescuing me when i capsize haha! Going to paddle come this friday with him again hope its going to be another exciting session, and sunday another wet training this time official for all rovers to come..well cox made me the leading hand for this training so you buggers better turn up early!! haha
On a lighter side, haha finally brought Tris and KH to their virgin club night! haha they lost their first time to none other than ZOUK with effect from last friday right after helping splashaxis booth at suntec convention hall. IT WAS DOPE- in tris's words. I guess all of us needed the wind down after long hectic schedules and for kenghee that dude just fought the big monster call A-levels.
On the down side,bleah, kinda affected by what happened today. Today whole day was running about singapore making ends meet for the smooth running of the cadet's commissioning parade. Morning went down to ELM to collect the engraved swords that are supposed to be send down to OCS then after which bring the willkinson sword to engrave the SOH's name on the scabbard which cause both matthew and me a long ride from yishun to queensway shopping centre with the bloodied minibus which can only drive at 50km/h by SAF directive. After which waited for about 45min at queens then start another mother long ride down to SAFTI MI. At first, the plan is to drop off the package at SAFTI HQ but suddenly, some YSL come over and tell us that we gotta move it to FOXTROT WING! shit this is nightmare..been trying to avoid going to OCS the first place now i have to go back to my wingline! its already bad enough to have to do such things for the cadets when i was out of coursed for the most fucking and absurbed lame ass reason...HEAR THIS OUT..im so overtrained that i feel damn degraded being a freaking Corporal and serving as a course clerk! i been through so much shit to have people who are fuck up lead me?!! (referring to certain someone from CAS) nonetheless..i went without a word and meet up with my old buddies, sergeant major(warrent micheal) and all...all started asking me what happen and stuff then it really occur to me that foxtrot felt like home..and it was really a sense of homecoming but then again not my home...its the home of the officers..I started to feel ashamed of myself, that i didn't make it to the end. Thinking back to what LTA shiming told me before i left for SOCJOT that he wanted to see me come back and commissioned it really made my gut twist inside out. I know that its already been over for some time...but only those who are in the suck would understand how it really feels...no one else really do.
