Merry X'mas!
I had my company Christmas cum New Year Celebration in camp on last Friday. Finally, it was not some "fun run" again, but a quite interesting team challenge. Our company was divided into 4 large groups. Each of the group have to complete a series of challenges such as doing 80 pull-ups cumulatively, empty a jelly can by drinking all the water in it and doing push up together. The most interesting challenge was pushing a M113 from a point to the finishing point. Can you imagine a group of about 30 people pushing the 13 tonnes machine while other people were spraying water towards them? The atmosphere was intense but fun. The best part of the celebration was that my team won and each of the member got $20 food voucher!
Merry Christmas to everyone. Everyone deserves a good rest! =)

My first clubbing Experience @ MOS cum one-year-soldier-anniversary
I spent my one year anniversary in the army going clubbing with my JC friends. The experience was a unforgettable but not a very positive one. We reached MOS at around 8.30 pm and the queue was incredibly long. To aggravate this situation, most of the people were smoking "uncontrollably" in the packed queue - I think the PSI was around 1000. The "flood gate" was opened at around 9 pm and the VIPs were allowed to enter first. Hence, the queue moved at the speed of 1.0 cm/hr. We were all suffocating. Finally, we entered the MOS building at around 10 pm and we were "greeted" by deafening loud music and a even higher concentration of smoke.
Initially, everyone was just standing around the dance floor and shaking a little with the beat of the music. Then, I think due to the influence of alcohol, people started to shake violently. I managed to squeeze into the middle of the dance floor with my friends and my friends told me to shake (or so-call dance) with the music. I felt so meaningless to shake for for the stake of shaking at the dance floor and I really wonder the people around were really enjoying when they "danced". As a result, I shook awkwardly for a while and moved off. Then, I followed my friends to explore the few dance floors in MOS before we went off. Smoke, chaos and noise were what I can conclude from my first clubbling experience - which is not a very positive one.
One year to ORD!

My life at this moment..
Road test of BX is exciting. Accelerate it to 5o km/h and apply E-brake is adrenaline-rushing. And of course, the feeling of the increasing centripetal force when pivoting the "monster" is beyond description of words. These are some of the things that I have to do and like to do when I am in camp. However, life is not so sweet afterall. Haha. I have to observe strict rules and regulations in camp and do some of the "xiong" servicings. I guess this is life ba. Nobody can enjoy life at any moment fully and I think I will be sick of road test after a few months. That is when I need to find my enjoyment of my life again.. stonning? Hahas.. won't la..
Haiz.. I suffered my old injuries when I went for a swim. My arm "dislocated" slightly and went back to original postion shortly. It was really painful but I was luckly that I was at the shallow part of the pool. Of course, I had to stop swimming and went back home in a really bad mood. Sigh.. so I can't train for a short time now liao.. =(
