low lor, an unbearable heartache too difficult to settle
Hmm, wat's 'low lor'? It's the latest army jargon I've picked up in camp recently started by one of the armskote men from HQ platoon. We usually say this to him when we see him and it means 'morale low lor' =P. Well, a rather relaxed week in terms of training as we were having revisions for tank gunner stuff. Glad to be back home, really, was feeling terrible the moment I stepped into camp last wkend lorz, had to be back on the night of Monday when my grandpa was sent for cremation.
In dad's car on my way back to camp, I was still feeling quite alright larz, could be very much better of course. I received 3 sms-es from 3 friends all asking me to go for outings in this mth. Hai, also duno why larz, after I read the msgs, suddenly felt really sad again abt my grandpa's demise. Things got a little better when I reached my bunk and my platoon mates returned as well. Some of them offered me words of encouragement and pats on the back, very nice of them, somehow really needed them when I din think I did lorz. I won't feel bad when i'm occupied larz, but like now, feeling the terrible unbearable heartache. Hope I won't plunge into a depression. *SIGH* Needa recover b4 lunar new yr cos shortly aft tt would b my trip to India for training. My tolerance these days are really little so hope my frens will forgive me if I'm rather unwilling to chat wif ya, esp those needing to share their feelings wif me. One of them I'd want to apologise to is Hui Jian...
Anyway, once training resumed the next day, the pain eased away and I could concentrate better on what I had to do. Today's training was terrible to say the least. We were at the simulation centre where we trained engaging enemies in a computer program. The tank platoon of 11 was divided into 2 grps and my grp was attached to an instructor who was said to be one of the top guns for tankees yrs back. Well, also duno why larz, my grp's performance was totally unacceptable given the fact tt we're already 1yr-tankees. We took a long time to aim and engage our enemies, too long for us to remain alive in real war lorz. We forgot the proper techniques which will enable us to engage our enemies much faster, stuff we learnt abt 1/2 yr ago. I keep forgetting switching the guns to 'fire' mode and took a long time aiming moving targets and the tank drivers somehow messed up their 'lefts' and 'rights'. Even my buddy, Kok Boon, one of the better gunners ard, also screwed up today's practice badly. The instructor was wondering how the hell we became operationally ready lorz, really insulting sia, but really can't help it lorz, hai. Really low lor...Luckily book out today...
I've committed myself to start reading up some of my jc stuff relevant to my future study of Chem Engi in NUS. Hopefully still have the free time and have the determination when my platoon mates play Risk often...
