(o . o)

This morning, I read some army P.Tekong ghost stories, leading me to recall my BMT days. I duno why but I suddenly remember one of the sergeants that treated me very well during my recruit days. However, I cant remember exactly how he look like, neither do I have any slightest clue of his name. But deep in my heart, I am very thankful to him for not bullying us but instead, take very good care of us.

I have another platoon sergeant who treated us very well too. He has a rather child-like character, quite fit and talks a lot. I once misfired my M16 weapon during range, and was supposed to undergo a severe punishment. However, he helped me cover-up my punishment and insisted that I dun bring it up to any of my officers. After leaving tekong and spending 2yr plus on other camps, I have never seen him once. Sometimes, I really hope I could bump into him on the streets or on MRT, just to thank him personally for being so kind to us.

However, the world is so big, the chances of meeting up with someone is too small and almost unrealistic. I only heard from some BMT mates that he has turned into an insurance agent. And surprisingly, I did really bump into him one day on the train!!! But he has grown much fatter and looked rather digusting, unlike the fit and lively platoon sergeant he used to be. And I could hear him promoting insurance to a lady beside him. Gosh, the first thing that came to my mind was to run away.... I guess human beings are so strange... i once hope to meet up with him so much, and when I really got the chance, I siam him instead.

And yeah, I couldnt believe it that my ITE stinct has come to a final end. I had my final presentation yday and unfortunately, my thumbdrive failed me during the critical moment. Hence, I have no ppt slides and have to use flip chart and markers for my presentation instead. It was really a test on my lin chang biao xian.

Yday's session ended in a rather solemn atmosphere, as we all know we wudn be greeting one another "Bye Bye, Seeya tmr!" anymore like the previous days. We have already been so used to going for canteen breaks together, having discussion sessions, team building games etc. We all know we probably wun be seeing one another anymore, or at least not in the near future. I really enjoyed my final course tremendous, and I come up with a conclusion: Its always the PEOPLE that makes the difference! My course mates were young ppl like me, and all of them are very spontaneous, sporting and sociable.

Too much Jap Food these days.... had quite a number of jap food at NTU canteen A with didi over the past few weeks. Yday, ate YIH Genki Sushi with smallbro ong after our swim, and continued our jap food craze at cuppage centre this evening. I find jap food really healthy, but costly too lar... But I guess I am a typical Chinese guy, who is most willing to spend big bucks on FOOD, but not on clothings and accessories...

Awww.... tats why I need the following but then am unwillng to spend on them :
1)A wallet (its torn)
2)A pair of slip on shoes (they are torn)
3)A pair of swimming goggles (the lenses are blur + joint broken)
