helloz...

long time to blog liaoz... very long.... almost 1 full month... sorry people... :P ... things have been going totally crazy during this period of time.... time was most certainly not on my side....

hmmm.... what has happened over the past month... well i've POPed.... thats the biggest thing that has happened to me.... now i've not POPed as in balloon popped.... it stands for Passing Out Parade... and no we don't pass out ok... :P so now i'm a private!!! haha..... after 9weeks of basic military training... i'm a private..... not that bad a deal...

among the many feats i've done during bmt include doing my SOC and finishing it in one piece.... with a webbing on my back which weights close to 8kg... a helmet which weighs like 2kg... and a rifle weighing 4kg.... mine for some reason is built heavier than a lot of my friends rifles.... anyway... many ran down the slope to the first obstacle of the low wall.... and as a wall it had served its purpose for many of our fellow comrades.... its role as a wall... many jumped and flew and smashed into the wall.... for some of the obstacles i had my difficulties... like for one is the jump over the constantina wire.... to many it is a simple task.. but for me apparently it is the station i fear the most.... cause on one occasion i jumped and passed the obstacle only the land and my butt getting peirced by the wire..... and hence.... now u may notice 2 holes in one of my pants.... sad.

route march.... 24km and 16km were no joke... ok maybe the 16 was very easy cause we were singing non stop.... all kinds of fun songs..... the 24 was kinda like damm jia lat.... most of the time we weren't singing.... cause most of the singers were Attend C... in other words... sick... but what can we do.... nothing..... hai... .

anyway no mood to blog about army life now.... just wanna reflect on a little scene i saw today...

basically i was on the way home and saw this couple... your typical secondary school couple.... but i guess maybe they were in poly or something..... same hairstyle.... highlighted goldish brown and the same length of hair..... scary..... its like those mothers who like to make their kids wear the same clothes... for easy identification purposes....

but anyway... today this couple was queueing behind a grandma and grandson at the bukit merah interchange... then the grandson was playing with his mini tennis racket and ball.... then the ball kept on rolling down and the guy bent down to try and pick it up..... of course being tall... he was mostly unable to reach half way for the ball when the grandson had took it back already.....

but still the guy didn't give up on trying to pick the ball the next few times it happened.... kindness? reputation? but anyway... this time he managed to pick it up for the kid..... as he did that.... the girl was just so engrossed.... staring so blankly at his face.... as if she was totally spellbound to him.... or like a faithful puppy..... it was absoutely stunning.... but of course the guy being engrossed with his new found ball..... didn't notice this.....

just a thought...

shaun out.

PS uploaded some photos... the last few photos u gotta look at the "previous posts"... the last photo being "some of the ..."
