a day to look forward to...

a day to look forward to... but it comes after 2 years.

civilian life that is!


anyway army been a great time for me, at least enjoyable watching how the army work in training boys into basic soldiers before moving to even more advanced ones.

in my early posts regarding my goal in becoming an officer or sergeant.

i made a choice, and my answer is no.

simply because this three months of basic military training have sufficiently equipped me with the knowledge i need to know as a soldiers, and being combat-ready is not really what im good at.

here's what im good at:
-the hospitality industry
-ability to assist people with any issues
-giving my beautiful smile to people to knowing i made their day
-lots more

all these may not be of any relevance to the army but im started a liking into being a CCI.

CCI=Close Combat Instructor.

someone who teaches soilders on basic defence tactics, intermediate and advanced as we move on as advanced soldiers.

i always have an interest in fighting and close combat.
WWE, was my fav show ever since i was 5 years old or younger, and guess who always watches it with me? who else, its my granny! now this reminds me the day we went to watch WWE LIVE in the indoor stadium with my granny and siblings, and i cried at the end of it.
not because of the violence, but because it was so late and we couldn't catch a taxi. i was so afraid i had to sleep on the streets and therefore i cried.

how silly.

anyway, i expressed my interest in becoming a CCI and thus had to say no to command school, which is rather risky. if i dont make it to CCI, i will become a man(an advanced soldier commanded under an officer and sergeant), which mean i have to go through the tough amount training the officers and sergeants do but recieve lesser privileges.

what could be more worst than this?

all i can do is to cross my fingers and await for my posting after my POP(Passing Out Parade).

i had the biggest surprise of my army journey on 261109, it was my 16KM route march in my full battle order(integrated body vest, rifle, and field pack). lets say the whole package weighed 15KG+. imagine the time given to march was from 1.30pm to 9pm and we had to march through different terrains like rocks and mud pools. worst is, i was made the IC(In-Charge) for that march!

all i can say is, 'im glad its over, and im shagged.'

im happy that i was given the chance to become the IC, and not everyone does. maybe i showed my leadership a little obvious which i intended to hide just to not be pushed into command school. i guess my past job experience and exposure enabled me to lead, eg. CCA Chairman and Mcdonald's Crew Leader.

everyone liked me, some didn't, few loved me, none hated me.

it was good, and all good!

most of the time ive been thinking of my family, they are the ones that kept me going, esp for my 16km march.

my friends of course, were not neglected.

i will make up time for them after my POP 081209.

can't wait but what dreads me most is before POP there will be a 24KM route march.

how is that looking forward, laugh out loud.


im down with running nose, and stomach kept grumbling.

i need an extended rest this weekend!
