This week just ended fieldcamp. Came back home on Saturday morning. All I can say about fieldcamp is that it is tiring, physically demanding and a whole lot of crap. What makes it worse is that my second fieldcamp is coming right up. The week after I will be at tekong having my finale.The whole week I am feeling moody. The temperature was hot and it is killing me. Things that we have to do and remember and a whole lot of running around in the forest. I keep on asking myself why am I here. Why do I have to go through all this. Constantly, we must remind ourselves not to make any mistakes and must do everything fast despite our fatigue. What makes things worse is my little brother who is constantly giving my attitude and being stubborn. At the end of the week, I just feel so relieve. No more fieldcamp for now and I can relax and enjoy the slow pace of civilization. But what I really want is to find a relaxing cafe and just sit down and have a nice cup of drink and some simple snacks and spend a quiet afternoon with friends. But I am too lazy to call up anyone. So I didn't really do anything much.My Saturday was spend with Noel. I get to know him in Church and he is quite interesting. We had a simple lunch at yishun. At a cafe in the community centre at Kahtib there. The food was not too bad but the price is a big steep. After that, I went for outreach at Kahtib area. In the evening went over to queensways with Noel as he wanted to get a Badminton racquet. Hope to have a better weekend next week. After that, another tiring week.

This week is really full of activities. It was the most tiring week ever in my life. I get to sleep about 4 hours maximum everyday since Tuesday. Plus I have a lot of mental work as well.Weapon handling test plus live range on 2 days. Fired SAR21 and Section Automatic Weapon in the day and night. Saturday went to fire metador and M203. On top of that, I had to go through all the stripping and assembling of all the 4 weapon. There is a timing to each of them and it is even lesser that M16, which is less than 1 minute. I also did the test for the weapons on immediate action. Which means when problem arises when firing, what should I do. All these is very taxing to the mind. In the week, we also did 2 days of navigation, exercise gypsy. We went into the forest of mandai next to Island country club. It was tiring and tough. Imaging getting from 1 point to another in the forest where everything seems the same.Not even to mention at night where everything is dark and you can't really see what is infront of you. Taking up a load of about 4-5kg each plus a signal set was part of the deal. Rain, mud, torns whatever you can name it in a forest I have gone through it. It was a physical and mental torture as well.Next week is another week of torture. Field camp is coming up this week. 4 days of torture yet again. I am expecting the worse. I should be able to break down when I get back. What is making things worse is my brother who is giving me so many problems. How I wish for a good rest....

Have you ever hear people saying that life is short and it must be well spend? I totally agree with it. How long do we have on this earth? Or should I ask how long do we have to be able to enjoy the pleasures of this earth. It is true that at different stages of life we enjoy different things. You can't get a 80 years old man to play bungee jump nor can you get a 20 years old man to sit down by the beach and enjoy the splendor of this world.Things only happen once. If you miss it, it will forever be gone. Like gaining trust. It won't be easy to retreat the trust of someone once it is lost. What we can do is to take everything that comes our way joyfully. I know it is not easy, but trust me, you will surely miss it once it is over. Friends are also the same. If you did not spend enough effort to treat them as your friend, they will be gone before you know it. Even if you want to mend this friendship, it wont be easy. The relation will not be the same again. Amidst the hectic lifestyle of Singapore, have you took time off to relax and enjoy the scenery? Have you took time off to visit and try out many new things? I have the chance to mix with some teens and what I understand is that they spend their time in things which are secondary and they have missed out of the many joyful activities of today. Joyful time always pass by quickly. If we do not make good use of it, it will be wasted. Life is not just about the cyber world which youngster spend most of their time in. There are other things to do like going out to see the world and knowing what is happening around. Trying out new things and taking a new route. You never know if you will encounter something new and find something enriching.If you never step out of your comfort zone, you will never gain any other things. If you stick with friends you don't like but because you want to be popular like them, you will never be more popular. You will never stand out. But when you take the first step and leave the group, you can find yourself with better friends and happier than before.Life is not something we can easily fathom. We can only learn as we get on with life. But try not to let it go pass you before you learn. Try to learn as you go along with it.

My mood isn't very good this few days. I am trying very hard to curb my anger. I try not to burst it out in my bunk and infront of others. But sometimes it is just too difficult. I really need a break off all these...I need a friend to be there for me...
