Blogging alone on a Friday evening

So! Why on earth am I in the specialist mess alone and blogging on a lovely cloudy Friday evening?

I am slacking! No wait. Dedicated instructors do not slack. Therefore I did not slack. Yeah. I am RESTING in the mess now. Hahaha.

BUT WHAT AM I DOING HERE!!! IN TEKONG!!! ON A FRIDAY EVENING!!!

Oh well. That is one of the millions of question you'd ask when you're in the army. Why this??? Why that??? But you most probably wont be able to answer them to.

But for most questions the answer probably goes along the line:
"Cos you have no choice, and you lan lan have to serve have to serve."

Anyway on a lighter note, this new batch of recuits that just came in yesterday are a really interesting bunch. They're also very intelligent and willing to learn. Its probably because of the handful of regulars(those who signed on) in each platoon.

Sadly indeed my weekends have to be burnt every time a new batch of recruits come in. Therefore resulting in lonely lifeless and boring weekends like this.

However, there is something different about blogging alone in the newly renovated mess, with the latest chinese songs blasting over the air while you watch the last rays of the day filter over the horizon across the sea.

Yes it is sad. But perhaps the peace and tranquility of a weekend in Tekong is probably all that keeps confined instructors like me going in times like this.

I miss my civillian life. My work is piling up as I speak. OOps. Oh heck. I just saw the last batch of maggots graduate a week ago and here comes the next batch a day after. Doggone it! May the documents and paperwork on my table be stacked higher than Bukit Timah Hill. May the daily training sap every minute of my time while I'm still here. May the rigours of the job vanquish every ounce of energy that's left.

I DON"T CARE.

I'm resting for now.

AND I'M ORD-ING ONE YEAR FROM NOW.

And you can't stop that.
