WHAT DO YOU WANT???

Such a simple question yet it beholds many meanings. Me and the other sergeants found that out when we were conducting lessons for the trainees. "What do you want?" Do you want them to improve? Do you want them to gain experience? Do you want them to learn? Or do you just want them to see the act of teaching?

Alas, all these are not true... because at the end of the day what you really want from them is to send out a message saying "I WANT TO SEE EFFORT!". From that day onwards I learnt that you need a clear objective of what you want when u want to teach someone. if you do not know what you want from the trainees then in the end, they will not know what they want to learn.... Okay I think only the commanders from training wing will understand what I am saying.

Anyway, training wing has officially started and new faces have arrived. Most of them have major problems physically while a few have problems emotionally. Thus you can basically imagine the number of people reporting sick and wishing to post out. If you want me to give you a clearer picture- almost half of them reported sick.

Nevertheless, there are some willing to endure and to work together. This gave me a ray of hope for my trainees as I am very demoralised by the numbers participating.

Haizz... but really.. it really is very tiring as we sleep later then them and wake up earlier then them. Haizz....I just hope june comes early this year.

ROCK BAND!

Woot... Finally got a real good break this weekend with good friday and all... Haha.. Finally got to meet up with wei quan(to wq: ITS ABOUT DARN BLOODY TIME!!) Haha... I invited him over my house last saturday cause i had a big surprise... I finally bought ROCK BAND!! .
Woohoo!!! IT costed me about $3++. But it was well worth it because u can play it with alot of ppl. Wei quan love playing the drums... and he was quite good at it... but i think after some time, the rock music was a bit too loud and I think that gave him a migrane.(Sorry man!)
Anyway, we talked alot and he told me he was planning a trip to go to Mt. Kinabalu. Damn I am so sad, I can't go. But what to do? I don't wanna discourage him not to go because I know he's going to NS soon and he won't get this opportunity for a long time. So... to the people going, u guys shall have my blessing and I hope u guys get me a SOUVENIR. HAHAHA....

Anyway, new trainees will be coming this monday. Training wing has officially started. Not sure how to react. These 3 months will be quite tiring and most probably, my saturdays will get burned....But I will do my best no matter the difficulties...

Met wen ting, ZK, WQ... Soon will be yan ting and jon this coming weekend(maybe). For Pat... I dunno where she is right now... like MIA like that.. (to Pat: If ur reading this... reply to me dammit..lol)

Well, this week... I enjoyed myself as I get to spend time with both my family and friends... but of course best of all... I got my ROCK BAND!! Woohoo!!

1 year down.. 1 more to go...

Yeah! Celebrated my 1st army anniversary last weekend with wenting and zhong kai. Well, it was more like I met up with wenting on friday and sunday for zhong kai. So yeah.. not much of a meeting eh? LOL.. But i kind of understand as everyone has their own hectic lifestyle or personal problems that they have to deal with.. Oh well...

But hey, at least i get to meet up with wenting on friday, this in fact, is already a blessing as she has been very busy these past few months. Oh well, we talked and watched Spiderwick Chronicles. I think I enjoyed the talking more than the movie. I'm not saying the movie is bad.. I mean the movie was okay with the whole magical and fairy land 'thingamagic' and with the whole 'good triumph over evil ' thingy. I guess it's just that I felt chronicles of Narnia was better as there was a war plot in it.. Or maybe it's just me.. lol.. Well, overall the movie was good... But i felt, I enjoyed more just talking with my friends, catching up... sharing thoughts and just release tension by blurting everything out.... Haha.. maybe its just me...

Then I met with ZK last sunday to celebrate his birthday and my anniversary... It was fun making fun of him.. haha.. a pastor...LOL.. And we even got to eat at Manhattan fish.. He eventually agreed as I was paying for his meal as his birthday present... I realized in both of our talks that our main subject was about wei quan.. I guess he is facing real major problems and I am really kind of worried for him...

Well... the upcoming week is gonna be stressful. With the new batch of trainees coming in from bmt... don't really want to be fierce... but my pc say it is a requirement.. oh well.. we will see how it goes...

Highlight of the day: Woot! I got to meet up with my friends!! And 1 more year to ORD lor...

Manga and Anime

Nothing much this week... I have been clearing my off for the whole of this week so I have been spending a lot of time at home. It gets kind of boring since most of my friends are working these days.

Oh but Saiffuddin, Razali and Juzazwan came to my house this week to watch Man U vs Lyon. We watch movies and the match...all the way till 6am. O.O. Haha, it was fun.. they kept me entertained and we were able to catch up at the same time. I really miss my sec school mates... Heard the chalet for 4/9 was cancelled... Haizz... damn sad...

Updates: I put some reccomendations for some manga and anime. Tell me if u guys wanna give a little synopsis for them. Credit goes to OneManga and Crunchyroll.

Realization

Well, 3 months have passed since I was posted to ATEC. These 3 months sure have its ups and downs. In ATEC, you are given 2 days off everytime you go outfield(go jungle) for 4 days and 3 nights. So since its ATEC, we do have a lot of outfield thus explaining why I am at home more often. What I didn't realize that it came with a price. Any work that needs to be done, must be done properly and competitively. If not....well.... let's just say your ears will hurt.. and possibly spend more time at camp then at home... But it sure has been eventful, I learned so much in ATEC in just 2 months... due to all the evaluations. And I must say my bunk is never dull due to the company around me.. haha.. they make me laugh so much...

My 1 year anniversary is coming soon on March 15. Thinking back, I have had my fair share of experiences. My time during bmt at Ninja was a moment that could never be forgotten. The OC was tough on us and his methods were sometimes... well... painful. Nevertheless, I thank him for making me a much stronger man not just physically but mentally as well. And the people around me were always encouraging each other whenever we were in trouble or getting punished or even when we were covering up for each other. I have to say I am proud to be from Ninja.

Then came sispec, that was when hell started for me. It was also around the time my asthma started to react again. It was really a mentally stressfull time I had to go through. The exercises were tough and exhausting but I scraped through most of it. It's not easy running your best time when you realize your still the last in your platoon. But I realized that the most enjoyable moments I had were spending time with my section mates. They made me laugh even at the most ridiculous situations. Taiwan was a lot more fun with them around encouraging me.

I realized that I am only stronger when the people around me are strong. And I am blessed to have fine companions from BMT to ATEC. Realization is a funny thing, suddenly it makes your vision much clearer. Well, my anniversary is coming soon... I am trying to keep a positive attitude.. as it means 1 more year to ORD LOH!
