I've really lost track of time. I haven't read the newspapers in 2 weeks neither have I had any sort of contact with the rest of the world for two weeks.

As you know, I enlisted in the army two weeks ago and we were required to stay two weeks on an island for us to adjust to military life. I've just been away too long. Surprisingly, I never felt a single urge to play starcraft nor use the computer over the past two weeks that I was in the army.

I'm back today and its hard to adjust back to the civilian life I once had not too long ago.. even typing on the keyboard seems weird. Maybe its because I've been handling my rifle for too long.

Life in army was okay. The first few days were a little tough. Its just the contrains and margins drawn that kept me under pressure alot. I missed my family so much that I almost broke down on the third day. I usually see my family everyday and not having to do so for 3 days was quite hard for me. But after 6 days, I must say that I kinda adjusted well.

Handling a real-life rifle was a nice experience. I think it needs alot of responsibility.. My bunk mates are also fantastic people. I will miss them when we part ways.

Anywayz, its good to be back home.

wish lah. still got 10 more months in service. still got to stay in camp mon - fri. the army knows very well how to waste time, more often than not we're just around waiting for the next event and having nothing to do and not allowed to rest. see time flies past while doing nothing. so unless you wanna be officer or chiong try to get 8-5 vocations.

lol. Hearing about people's BMT experience makes me feel young again. I think during field camp they'll introduce you to the other section weapons. Nothing gets your adrenaline pumping more than hearing a GPMG firing continuously for a minute or so. You probably won't get to experience that for a while though.

During that BIC crap on the last day of field camp, they'll tell you about how an MG will fire live rounds 3m above where you're supposed to be leopard crawling to simulate "battlefield conditions", along with random thunderflashes exploding to simulate mortar rounds. But the fucking MG fires like 10 rounds a minute, its such a turn off.
