say hello to my sister's pet terrapin porkchops! i was bored so decided to take some pics of him/her. its weird cos i dont know its gender. i think nobody knows how to tell the gender of a turtle. oh well. booking in at about 1015. cya guys in about 3 weeks time.

i've finally completed my CSB package. 32km route march with 6 dummy mags and field pack and river crossing at the 20th km. my first taste of abrasions. then came the 8km fast march. what i thought was gonna be something easy turned out surprisingly hard. oh well its all worth it. a badge on my chest.

and i still cant get that elusive gold for my ippt. stuck at a measly silver cos of my 2.4km run. sigh. how can i shave off 15secs from my timing. i already run to the point of near collapse. but nevermind i passed my SOC. woots. 9m30secs. quite proud of myself. thats 45secs faster than my old timing.

grandslam II was great! uber fun. especially when we managed to execute the platoon deliberate attack. the rush of adrenaline when the breaching group gets contacted and the whole platoon shouts CHAAAAARGE!! at 5am in the morning cant be found anywhere else. and the chinook ride was fun. 7 mins of fun to be exact. but nevertheless fun.

ROC next week. 9 day warrior, 3 day longstride, section battle drills. hope its going to be fun. i sure as hell know its gonna be tiring. combat rations for close to 2 weeks. eeks. guess im going to come back as skeletor after the trip. so lets fatten up now yeah?

fig&olive with bebs later. lets find more good food to fatten myself up. happy 33rd month. i know it seemed like nothing yesterday and im truly sorry. i guess tiredness got the better of me.

i like the gsr that beb's booked yesterday. its really nice and bright and has a good view. it made me start imagining that i want my future home to be like that. bright and white and sleek. we'll have a huge kitchen so bebs can cook and stuff me fat.

and no thats not porn that im watching. 3 more weeks to ROC. gah. i hope i can survive the heat, the load, the training, everything. so far ASLC has been a great blast. much fun and interesting activities. not a bore like BSLC was. and im pretty confident i can get my Combat Skills Badge by the end of course.

ok Soeul Garden with Nana and bebs later to celebrate Nana's bday. sibuk2 je aku. but nemind stuff myself silly before i book into camp later. platoon deliberate attack live firing tomorrow. i hope im support base or fire bass instead of the assault team. dont feel like assaulting tomorrow. oh well we'll see.
