[170906] 1st book out and book in

Boo! some might wonder how come im at home blogging when i enlisted only on tuesday? well, SCDF doesnt practise confinement so 3 days after enlistment, i got to book out... heh.. slack... life as a recruit is well pretty much what all other recruit goes thru, the lowest life forms in any organisation... training's still pretty ok.. though my arms are aching all over even after 2 days of rest...

Im in Aplha Coy and of the 5 companies in BRTC, supposedly we have a reputation to be the best of all in BRTC and not a single day goes by without having our instructors reminding us that we're ALPHA, not bravo, charlie, delta or echo... haha... and im in Aplha Coy, Platoon 1 - Vipers! in a strange twist of fate, when we are at platoon level, our instructors similarly would remind us that we're not Platoon 2 - Dragons or Platoon 3 - Tigers... we're Platoon 1 - Vipers.. so we're expected to be the best Platoon in the best Coy... sweat... haha... so much expectations...

time passes extremely fast when you're a recruit spending his book out days... blink once and poof! it's sunday and book in day... oh well... booked out on friday around noon as it was SCDF day (how lucky for us) and i proceeded for a much needed lunch before i knocked out for the rest of the day... went back to AT yesterday... happened to glance at the roster and was shocked at the amount of part timers we had... all borrowed from CR or OMB or CBJ and had a lot of new PT as well...

Walked around northpoint for a while in cold storage looking for the things i needed to buy... then Blackie called and went to meet him, destination - Causeway Point. Wanted to watch Singapore Dreaming but didnt have the show times that was suitable for us and just proceeded to walk around... followed him as he looked for his street soccer shoes but didnt manage to find one, went next to Lot 1 before deciding that northpoint was still the place to be, true enough he found his stuff at northpoint sportslink..

Thinking of getting a PSP and a new phone as well.. but guess both are nice to haves... but if i were to buy, i dont think i'll buy until at least my recruit life is over and im posted to Station or something.. hmm.. something to ponder over... 11 more hours to book in!

Fort Minor - Where'd You Go?

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.

She said "Some days I feel like shit,
Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,
"I don't understand why you have to always be gone,
I get along but the trips always feel so long,
And, I find myself trying to stay by the phone,
'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone,
But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,
But when I pick up I don't have much to say,
So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

You know the place where you used to live,
Used to barbecue up burgers and ribs,
Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile,
But now, you only stop by every once and a while,
Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time,
With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,
I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way,
You can call me if you find that you have something to say,
And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...

I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin',
Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,
For why you're not around, and feeling so useless,
It seems one thing has been true all along,
You don't really know what you've got 'til it's gone,
I guess I've had it with you and your career,
When you come back I won't be here and you can sing it...

Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
