It’s a tough road

last week..
it seemed slow.. and draggy..
time ticks like snail during training..
but flashed pass while we were sleeping..
straight 4 days of quite an intensive training..
with sea swim, sea circuit, timed run and pool tests
many of us felt like giving up already..
and they ask themselves why are they here in NDU..
will they pass hell week?
just when things were low..
Friday came to us like a surprise
morning sea swim timing was unexpectedly pleasant
the best part of it was the underwater mahjong
interboat competition and 31 batch boy vs 31 batch instructors..
there was the most laughter we got together as the whole 31
what a memory for me to save
and at the end of the game.. the 7 instructors and 7 batch boys were all in tears
for the long timing underwater.. and without mask.. opening their eyes to see if thats the tile they needed..
finally.. we got our new bunk.. and new bunkmates..
Edward Jared and Jack will be my bunkmates for quite some time in 01-06..
and i will be missing moments i had with Ricardo and Shern Whey in 01-03
instructed to put on our beret for dinner.. and finally booking out with no more jokey caps
Xiong Wei, Lennon, Felix and people who just POP.. i hope the best for you guys..
pls dont be drivers in the Sembawang First Transport Battalion.. lol..
OCS or SISPEC!!!
2 weeks of PCP passed..
5-6 weeks more…
these 2 lines had such a different expression for different people..
i think guys.. we all have to stay strong..
life is really better when you are positive..
few weeks more and we can enjoy our heaven week man..
heaven heaven heaven week!!!

chatted with Jun Liang just now..
ha.. was surprised that his parents asked about me..
well.. that was really very nice of them..

stressful weeks still ahead..
pace is getting faster and fiercer..
sometimes people just tend to lose hold of what they initially have..
the confidence.. the attitude.. the power of control of themselves..
peer pressure surrounds everyone of us..
and negative thoughts just keep influencing the whole batch..
like the song <Lonely Road> sings..

“In life there may be times
When it gets hard to walk the walk
It's easier to take the path
That most have traveled on
But then again to do what's right
You must walk alone”

“Some people are unkind
To those who see things different
We've all felt pain in ways
It hurts to even bring it up
But that don't mean that we
Should take this motion lying down
I'll stand and fight until the day
They put me in the ground”

“Now I've taught you all I know
So take this seed and let it grow
Though I'm here now soon I'll be gone
Did what I can to tray and make you strong
(And I see that you're strong)”

come on 31.. come on..
yea.. we can do this thing man..
we can be the Diver that we want..
yes WE can!
and yes i can!
HOOYAH!
