3sg

the boy had an exhausted look on his face. it was obvious, considering he had already ran 700m.

so he came up and put both his hands on the bar, then let his legs swing in the air. then he proceeded in reaching for the next bar.

he failed. he lost his grip, and came-a -tumbling to the ground. he went back and tried again.

"relax boy! just make sure you've got both hands on each bar before moving on. now go!"

"YES SERGEANT!" came the reply.

ah? i was taken aback for a while. but i came to realise this.

oh yes, i already AM a sergeant. i kinda forgot about it. haha but it was an interesting experience. ( by the way, the boy did manage to clear the monkey bars obstacle!)

probably most of you don't know, but i'm already a 3rd sgt! it's actually not a big deal, since i'm not a commissioned officer anyway. but to me it is! anyway, the thing is i've been posted back to bmtc. so basically my whole ns life will be spent away in pulau tekong. so i kinda had mixed reactions upon knowing i got posted back to bmtc.

but its cool with me. in fact, i like the feeling of not having to march around the camp, just anyhow walk around the whole place. oh and sometimes get greeted by the recruits. haha it does offer some little pleasures actually, but so far things have been ok.

enough of ns! talk about shopping! haha since when do guys ever talk about shopping? surprising ain't it? i dunno, i think the shopahoilc in me had been unleashed ever since r&r in taiwan. now i'm still having that r&r mindset, where i can do endless shopping! it doesn't help that now all the christmas sales are starting!

i nearly bought that creative zen neeon mp3 player at the sitex sale at the singapore expo. 1 gb mp3 for $279, i think it was quite a good offer. i nearly purchased it, but i decided against it last minute. but i still hav lots of things to buy. a watch, a pair of jeans, more shirts, a new bag...and the list goes on.

any girls want to help me out with my christmas shopping? shop shop shop, everyone wants to shop nowadays!
