i realize that once again i haven't really been taking care of my lj very well, so as i go through my facebook games, and before i take a much needed nap, i shall update on my super eventful life! (not.)
anyway, we're back in OCS now. life is good. hah. basically things're self-governed by all our lovely cadet appointment holders. we hardly see the instructors and at most we see alot of the wospecs during rehearsals and stuff. alot of lectures, etiquette lessons, and parade rehearsals.
this friday's already ACPC, and the saturday after's our commissioning. the days don't really pass very quickly, but it's alright, cause it's the last two weeks of our lives as cadets.
it's hard to communicate the feeling? but after nine months of arduous training that can barely be remembered, it's fantastic to finally be so close to the end. really, really, fantastic. |

i kinda just remembered i haven't actually posted about thailand, or anything else recently. hah. i'm not sure if anyone's actually interested, but truth is, the memories of the trip are already beginning to fade. well maybe not fade, but they have been shoved behind a wall and under a cupboard. probably due to the really traumatic nature of the whole thing. or maybe that's just standard procedure for army memories. hah who really wants to remember every single thing that happened every single day. most of it's not very nice to begin with and quite a fair bit is just plain painful.
but anyway, the gist is that in thailand, we did some exercises. climbed up a hill. rode around in tonners a fair bit. and then during out finale exercise, we walked eighty or ninety km in seventy-two hours. carrying all our stuff and wearing our LBVs and carrying our rifles and stuff. hah definitely an experience.
R&R was alright. not too boring. definitely a must needed break from all the training of the thirteen days before. of course, i just had to get food poisoning on the last day. so did quite a few others though. terrible. i couldn't eat properly for days after. not like i'd been eating right during the exercises anyway. hah anyone want some green capsicum sauce pasta? i didn't think so.
anyways we're back in safti now! no more eti i dare say. just a few more weeks guys. just gotta hang in there abit more.

i'm tired as heck, my feet are aching like crazy, and i just happened to get terrible food poisoning just before coming home; but needless to say, i'm so very very happy to be home. maybe not on the outside, cause my face muscles can't really move, but inside it's true. tell you all what happened over the past fifteen days later. i'm just glad to be back. |

badump. flying off in just a few hours! quite honestly i'm really excited because all i can see right now is coming back and going back to OCS and commissioning and finally getting that silly little black bar and not having to wear my three white stripes! but i know that once i'm in the jungle it's gonna suck. but i'm not even sure about that! it just feels like it might really be fun! but then i get worried that i'm missing something because flying off to a foreign country to run around in it's jungles shouldn't be.
i think i'll miss everyone back home far too much. i might even be homesick.
anyways, all the best for your As and IBs everyone! and your Os i suppose. they aren't over yet either right? hahah. study hard. especially all you uni kids. i know your exams are coming up too. hahah. take care (:

| off to crescendo |

well i was kinda busy last weekend, rushing out that video of mine, so i didn't get much chance (nor did i have much energy) to post, so i'm doing it now, before i fly off to thailand. hah okay, for those who don't know, and care enough, i'm flying off to thailand tomorrow night! but more on that later.
mm so last week was our final exercise. nothing much to say cause y'know, it was long. not too hard. a few people got put of course. one of them totally didn't deserve it. i was really emo because of that, quite honestly. hah it's quite stupid really, that we've been in the same platoon for our whole OCS life, then we lived across the corridor from each other in ETI and then finally we even went into EOD together and were in the same bunk, but in all these seven and a half months we never really talked to each other. and then when things somehow got fixed and we actually started communicating, this has to happen. i dunno. worse tragedy ever, in so very many ways. anyway he totally didn't deserve to OOC. have i mentioned that already? yup. and not just because we were recently-friends.
so yeah i know you probably won't read this, but hope you're doing well. don't give up alright? if you can make it through EOCC once, you can do it again.
so yeah last weekend i kinda bummed around at home alot cause of the course-closing video. stayed up the whole of sunday night, slept maybe an hour, and managed to finish my part! hah and then went into camp. found out the other part hadn't been done (not his fault, computer's are so tempermental. i should know. i've had to deal with tempermental computers these past few weeks.) so i had to somehow rush out his section as well. thank God i managed to somehow. i guess working through the night gave me special video-making powers or something. cause in the end, when it was shown up there, it wasn't so bad after all. hahah really really really thank God. it's been many painful weeks in the making, but i'm glad people enjoyed it. (at least i hope they did.)
so after that we went back to ETI. wasn't very fun, but it wasn't the ETI i used to know. still crappy, still lousy, but i guess not as bad as before? hah we still booked out like two or three hours later than we thought we would, but ohwells. that's just the way things are.
so yup i'm going up to thailand tomorrow! flight's at 0050hrs on 061109. gonna do missions and all kinds of FE nonsense. hah. from the brief though, looks like it's gonna be fun? hahahahah. okay jokes over. but yeah. i'll miss you all. lots.
can't wait to get back and commission. btw i'm landing on the 211109? somewhere around the same time but i'm not too sure.
rawr.
