- 8th "Oh Really?" Date -
or if u can read between the lines its the ORD date for the 8th batch. congrats dudes u guys have finished ur 2 yrs and have tasted freedom yummy. well the reason y its "Oh Really?" Date is becoz everytime some1 asks a junior when they ORD they will have a universal reaction of "Oh Really? im left with X months leh!" yeah hence the "Oh Really?" Date for the title... dats about it for y i named dis post as it is...
no lah not really actually a senior told me dat if u count down to each batch's ORD date tgt with them u will soon realise dat hey im counting down to my own date! in a way it keeps ur mind of the long journey through ur 2 yrs but who m i kiddin i even have a counter rite there! yeah but in base i dun have a counter so haha yup dats about it. for those who stare at my counter seeing the huge no. of days left and laugh to themselves saying HAHA I ORD EARLIER DEN U... too bad dude i ENJOY my time in here so laugh all u wan =P
most guys leave NS with worn out no. 4 uniforms faded lbvs and soiled helmets with smelly ear plugs and boots to go along with it and probably tinkin dat previous 2 yrs was a waste of time coz after havin done so much u get 3 stripes nia. in my context NONE of them apply coz u-noe-y. im not gonna say it u-juz-noe-y.
but at dis point of time i will nv have something dat u guys have. juz surfing through fb i can see the difference liao. look at u guys all lookin smart marching arnd in leaders square, throwing ur pique caps into the air shouting out ur resolutions, wearing ur berets and donning the SBO for a photo with ur family and frens, or juz casual photos with ur frens u have made in ur 2 yrs in ur no.4. to me those are impossible and were nv applicable the moment i received my letter way back b4 i even enlisted. all those moments are things dat u can physically look back to as photos create dat image of the past dat once seem so real to u. they are the things dat u look back and say hey dats me in uniform.
sometimes i wonder to myself if only i was abit diff would i live a diff life? fit dat missing part back into me and ill probably in a whole new experience dis 2 yrs. but honestly i tink dis is the best experience i can ever ask for, actually i din even ask for it so its even better den dat! however i lose out on little but significant bits of stuff such as those i explained above. i would like some stuff to remember my 2 yrs here and it would probably only be my uniforms ba. how i really wish to be able to join in ur discussions on the stuff dat goes on in camp but sadly i would not be able to relate to it even if u told me. similarly, u would not be able to understand wad i do and experience so theres no point in me telling anyway.
anyway enuf of the emo NS stuff on to more down to earth blabber. some genius stole my bike along with the chain. gosh i dunno how they do it coz i swear i lock my bike up properly and even double check the chain to make sure its positively locked the bike to the bike parking thingy. must have swiped it when i left it there early morning during my stint to the west. sad part is u stole a bike dat i was about to trade in for a better 1. the suspension is about to go "BOOMZ", gear system is not only cranking but makes cracking noises the moment i start speeding, brakes are kinda worn out, the bike seat is abit loose and tilting too far back and cant be adjusted back and the tires are found worn to limit(wonder where i learnt dis... hmm...). all in all u stole a broken bike = EPIC FAIL. so the next time u wan to steal a bike mite as well give it a test run 1st. if u dun find it working v well give it back to the owner so dat he wont be able to laugh at u on his blog when he finds out and u will juz be riding a piece of scrap metal.
on another topic, when u chat regularly(lol wad a pun most of u wont get) to ppl u have juz met and start to learn about their life story u start to tink about wad u could have done differently about ur own and maybe some things dat u could have done but havent. alot to tink about dun u tink?
