I often have a writer's block when I really feel a need to pen down something, but I could spill a pageful of words when I'm not, or when I'm simply daydreaming. There really may be a need for the time where we start to mix blogging with science; such that one day we just spend the day thinking stuff and this machine will just extract that block of output from our brains.
It's essentially a human printer, without the paper that is.
I've been asked by a friend to be a editor for his blog, it's really an odd job but it perks my interest because I'm able to experiment with all the vocabulary, grammar and what-it-is accordingly. Frankly, nothing riles me up more than writing, maybe there's an opening for me in the future?
I don't know, considering I'm not the type who can easily be held down by something. My wanderlust personality really gets on me sometimes. Meanwhile, I'm still rotting at home while waiting for my new vocation results to arrive. Suddenly returning to Tekong doesn't sound half as bad...

Blink Blink
It's over, it's all over. I can hardly justify for the rate of time passing by, but my BMT is finally over!
Everyone's a little regretful to leave but yet at the same time to get the fuck out of the hellhole known as Tekong. We may have left but we brought back "outstanding" memories, experiences and not to mention luggage. There was a last "everything" craze and even a madcap night of tricks on the last night. I found my hand completely smeared with green camouflage cream for no reason at all, but seeing the state of some others...I don't think I deserve to complain.
The passing out ceremony was so simple, it felt more like a primary school assembly. In and out, and that was it; unlike my friend who's going to get a grand scale passing out parade tomorrow, there's really some form of envy when you see them marching around with pride in front of families and friends.
Leaving the bunk, I took one last look at the Raven company block, it'll be probably 11 more years before I set foot on Tekong again when it's my brother's turn to enlist. As once mentioned by someone, it's not the beginning nor the end that's memorable, but the process in between where we face our ups and downs. And that would be the 7 weeks in all for my BMT.

Almost Over
My last book in and book out will be this week, it's almost hard to believe these 7 weeks are almost over. When I first enlisted, it's like I dreaded the coming days and wished it passed by faster but now I take my words back.
On one of the last few days of the week before we had Games Day and it's unbelievable that Raven COY actually snagged the first place title in the challenge trophy. There was a lot of celebration going on that day and the cheering was almost unstoppable and overzealous. I managed to catch a glimpse of one of my friends in Ulysses COY but didn't approach him because I was worried how awkward it would be if it was the wrong person. I was however, extremely lucky to find his buddy, which I then managed to confirm it really was him.
Before the week was over, I had to get a fever. I was feeling like crap but I was forced to still continue the 10km route march. I was pretty much half dead by the time it ended, I don't know my body's limits but I'm amazed that I never collapsed all this while, yet. Initially I was told to drop out but I need to tell my duty instructor first. But his response irked me...
"37.5 degrees? Nah, it's alright, fall back in."
I had temperatures soaring to 37.9 degrees that day, lucky it was already book out day so I just hung on for as long as I could.
Pretty soon I'm going to be posted into a my new vocation, it's another restart of new environment, people and challenges again. I wonder if I can breeze through it with ease, I'll miss my old section but they won't be gone since I managed to get their contacts before today.
Life goes on.
