Ok, so i was actually home since tuesday, but i've only starting writing now because...well because i was lazy. :x How about that. I've got a bit of catching up to do, but i've decided to make this as short an entry as possible. Because...well because i'm still lazy lah lol.
Anyway...where did i stop..ah yes on my A level results day. Well the day after booking in was Games Day..not that i've got anything to say about that but that I HAVE TWO DAYS OFF!! Haha 'cos i was a participant! Ran some race with Chris (my section-mate and from VJ also) where we tied our ankles together..and we were among the fastest! Ninja got third in the end, both in that race and the overall standings..although we could've gotten first if not for some super suay stuff..
The day after that was our 24km march! And was it a bloody hot day..Ninja was the leading company so we kinda set the pace. Apparently we marched too fast for the other companies..at least the slacker ones, 'cos after awhile we couldn't see the company behind us (whiskey) anymore...they were literally nowhere in sight. We were marching slower than usual though, so it felt pretty easy because we had an even lighter load than usual, thanks to the absence of the 1.5litre bottle that Ninja Company insists we should march with.
Oh but then it got worst from there, 'cos our OC decided to er..flex his muscles to the other companies..so we kinda marched faster and faster till quite a few people fell out. I was one of the..casualties. At the 12km mark i started to get foot cramps (the inner side of my foot hurt really bad...i think it's my bunion problem) and worse still, an abrasion at the spot where..erm the sun really doesn't shine at all. And as i walked it was burning up and i thought that for a moment i felt blood flowing down my pants..0.o Kinda been having that abrasion for awhile (my mum said that a prominent tail-bone could cause it) but it was only then that it got really serious. So in the end, i didn't finish the march. Heard from some people that it was after that point when our company decided to march at fast-march pace which gave even our own PC abrasions. In the end we also got a bit lost and led the school to an additional 3-4km more of marching than they were supposed to do (plus we walked the rocky path..not like school 1 who like marched around the damned SCHOOL). I suppose other companies have the right to be pissed at us..
So i haven't marched more than like 13km before. Which kinda sucks 'cos everyone else's done 24. But really..with my foot problems i should actually be excused from long distance marches. SISPEC has a 32km route march too..i wonder how i'd be able to stand it if i really do get posted there.
Saturday and sunday was off-day, although on thu, fri and sat we had bloody rehearsals for our Passing Our Parade (POP) under the hot sun..monday was another set of rehearsals too as well as re-IPPT (like napfa) for those who missed out the last time. Once again had As for the 4 stations but 2.4km has always been a problem. I ran 10:48 in the end..which's actually my best time ever. 1 minute less and i could've had 1 more day off.
Then came our POP day...where i spent the whole bloody morning queuing up for some dumbass compulsory medical checkup that took just 1minute to complete in the end. Really..the effectiveness of the SAF sometimes..they could've asked the different companies to come at different times right..sigh i dunno what to say about them anymore.
POP itself was pretty uneventful..like we rehearsed so many times liao that it didn't seem special anymore. And it's been very cool since i came back home..just lazing around all day. Went out yesterday as well to meet up with friends. Fixed my WD hard-disk too (got it replaced, rather) so now if i fix it into my comp i'll have 550gb of internal hard-disk space! LOL..it's overkill right. I haven't actually done it yet 'cos i don't really need the space..installing it now would just waste electricity. I might just sell it though. So who wants to buy? A spanking new (or at least i think it is) Western Digital SATA II 250gb 7200rpm hard-drive with
16mb cache...very zai and for only S$170! So compared to the current prices you save S$20! Don't think anyone will actually buy though. Ahwell.
Went out to eat with jaclyn, chinhow, tzeyang and zhipeng as well..apparently jingze could go also but he told me he had to leave at 7pm so i thought he couldn't make it..although he probably could. Whoops..sorry! :x At kushin-bo again haha..made sure i ate enough sashimi to make it worth the cash!! Went back quite late already so just hung around online awhile before sleeping.
Oh yah, it's quite weird right now 'cos we've got someone staying with us for the next few weeks..my sister's boyfriend's sister, Liyu! Haha her parents went overseas so my mum was kind enough to offer her lodging in my sister's room. Quite odd to have a non-relative in the house for such a long period though..the last time anyone stayed over was probably like more than a year. It really doesn't bother me anyway...like i HAVE a sister lah..so quite used to it. A lot of the time she isn't in the house anyway..she's been doing some community service thingee after her A levels that requires her to raise $40,000 in 3months for the elderly. Quite noble i must say..it's been like a 11am-9.30pm job with no pay for her. Probably can't be bothered enough to put in so much effort myself.
Well..I'll be booking back in in 5hours time! So i'll need time to pack, etc..not sure if i can make it to the phoenix function...i mean i had to be informed of it by YONGSHENG from URSA of all people, so i'm not sure if i'm especially NEEDED to be there...-.- After guard duty i'll be going straight to NUS open house..maybe after that i'll know what course i wanna go to..whether overseas or in singapore..
