Life is beautiful. After a very long week at camp, going to Tampines Mall is like going into another world. The buzz, the shops, the food etc. Suddenly, all seem so alien to me. It is only then that I realize again how beautiful life is. I watched Harry Potter too. How nice if I were in his shoes. I wouldn't mind playing with all those dragons though. And yes, this time, that movie has some mature element in it. Something like the setting in Secondary school. Again, life is beautiful. There are so many things we can do, experience, try to experience. So many people to meet, make friends with and suffer with.

Forget what I just typed if it doesn't make sense to you. Ever since I came back home yesterday evening, I have been in a slight daze. That is because I didn't sleep on Friday night, and I just typed whatever came to my mind. We were marching 28km all the way till Saturday morning. As I said, I didn't reach home till around 5+ and I slept at 11+ last night. I am kind of used to this mental setting now. SISPEC taught me that the impossible can become possible if you wanted it to.

Next would be my experience in my last week in SISPEC. Skip this paragrapgh if you have no interest in it. *smile*
We did mostly confidence training this week. It was like performing at Moscow circus. WE were basically required to deal with crawling, swinging, climbing and walking on ropes. Looks scary at first, but not so when doing it. You have to spend all effort to hold on to it, no time for feeling scared. Next would be the techniques for breaking fall. Felt like I was training for karate SEA games. The finale and toughest was the 28km route march. I always see it as a very challenging and i mean VERY challenging. The march started at 10pm. There was a rest point at every 4km for only 15 minutes. For half of the march, I was marching in darkness. So what do you do when everything is blank and it is night time? Yup, you close your eyes and sleep. That's what I did. And I ended up walking zig-zag and colliding with people around me. After that, I became smart and walked beside the person leading the singing. And I sang along. Z monster defeated! Surprisingly, this march seem like a breeze. Except for the Z monster, the load on my back and my legs didn't bother me seriously. I felt I could go on much further, if I weren't that sleepy. When I finally got my corporal rank during the parade, I could close my BSLC chapter with ease. Another phase of my life completed, not without sweat and blood.

I have been posted to Air Force School. That was just what I wanted. But I have no idea what I will be doing there. It is just so exciting. It could potentially be an 8 to 5 job. Another cause for celebration is that I obtained an 'A' grade for my performance in my 37th Basic Section Leader Course(BSLC). And it meant that I am actually one of the top few who actually got it. Seriously, I do not think I deserve it. I mean, I was not really outstanding in anything. I was consistent and positive, foolstop. Nevertheless, it really is an honour. I would never dream of how capable I am if not for SISPEC. It just spurs me on to work harder.
