The week has ended, and guess what? I have to return to the dreaded camp tomorrow morning and mount again (14 hours mount FTW!). Enjoyed my one week of rest with my friends, going from camp too camp and attending passing out parades/ceremony to night chilling sessions with some beautiful ladies last wednesday.
I guess I'm ready for this upcoming week, 13 mounts in a row to tackle.

11th of July - Pride
Pride in myself is something I always wanted to have. I have been mostly proud of the people around me, like recently I've got 2 friends that endured the 'torture' that army threw to them. One of them managed to complete his BMT after a grueling 5 months on a desolate island, while the other finished medical training after a 12 week course. I might not know what my other friends have went through previously in their lives, but to be able to see them at this very day, I'm proud of them for pulling through struggle after struggle.
However I'm faced with this small little problem, which is when I see the people around me accomplishing great things in their lives, and then I take a look at myself. I seem to have this sense of inferiority. A good example are my BMT mates that went to Officer Cadet School.
Just an hour ago I saw their pictures - pictures posing with their swords that signifies the authority bestowed upon to lead, influence, change and bless the lives of the soldiers under charge. They looked really smart in their pictures, especially my buddy that made me change for the better as a person.

For some reason when I was about to post the picture online with my friend in my smartest uniform, I hesitated. Hesitated because I was afraid that I would be judged, reason being they are OCS while I'm just a lowly vocationalist. Oh well, this problem of being judged by others still lurks somewhere inside me while I continue on with my life.
It's something I have to work on, and hopefully I will achieve enlightenment as soon as possible.

7th of July
Finally at least a week's rest from camp, been so tired lately with the constant mounts and dismounts from camp. Many things happened recently and I just felt like sharing it here (well even though no one reads but I don't really care).
First thing is the inner battle in your heart and mind. The battle with my mind started because of the inner temptations that my mind and body craves, resulting tons of guilt being felt again and again. Food is one of the sinful temptations, been having tons of 'tze char' or '煮炒‘ every other day in camp, or we will end up eating fast food like KFC and McDonald's if we didn't had 'tze char'. The result? The obvious drop in stamina and the tightening on my tight fit army uniform, and it got way more difficult to put on.
Oh well, had a terrible migraine for 13 days straight, gastric problems for 4 days and my aching right joint near my hip ever since the migraine started :\ That gave me even more problems because with the aching joint I wasn't able to go and run as often as I planned to go, every step that I took when I moved forward just hurt so much that my mind is just telling me not to carry on after a certain distance. Migraine and gastric went away, but my leg still hurts. Doctor said it might be a posture problem and also the problem with me sitting down too often (sigh, I'm sitting down as a I work in camp, so in the end the amount of times that I sit compared to standing will still be more no matter what :\).
Next, love hurts. I still think of her after 2 long years, she's moved on while I'm still trying to. Every time I see a lady of my age, the first thing that comes into my mind is her, I will subconsciously ask her questions that I want to her to know in my head, questions like how is she doing, whether she's coping well with university and such. When I pay a visit back to her Facebook profile, and I see that she's smiling angelically as always in her photographs, then all my questions to her have been answered. Even though I know she's not smiling at me or for me, one thing's for sure, she's indeed happy with her life and that I should feel happy for her too. Whether I will see her in the future, that's one very difficult question to answer, but I will always be supporting her from the darkness and shadows.
They say that love can make you do extraordinary things, but love has made me blind and I know that because I sometimes feel like I'm pushing people away from me because I'm feeling moody and thinking of her, I don't know luh.
At least I've got a week to rest, and I have to settle the problem with my leg once and for all. I had to postpone the recent IPPT because I couldn't run properly, and next I want to go to the restaurant at the botanic gardens with my friends because they serve very good food there:)
Till then, continuing life with my injured right leg :\
