Well, well, time flies doesn't it? It's my 100th blog post aft a yr! A half yr more to go before I ORD from my NSF time at 46SAR. It's interesting how everyone looks forward to his ORD. ORD sounds good doesn't it? It represents the end of our 2.5yrs as an NSF and freedom of some sort. But when u really noe wat ORD stands for, like I do, it doesn't really sound tt nice aft all. ORD = Operationally Ready Date. Lol, see? It sounds pathetic wif it's full name sia, but I still look forward to revert back to studying life nxt yr when my uni term starts.
The mono-intake of our batch will ORD on 5 Dec this yr which is just around the corner. Most of them are counting down and can't wait for the day to come. Everyone is in the "ORD mood" and are slacking whenever possible aft near 1.5yrs of hardwork and training. The AIs are rather free these days and spend most of their time in their bunks while the poor tankees(that's me also), go down to the vehicle shed every now and then(i.e almost everyday) to repair our tanks. There's going to be an inspection soon and we have to get our vehicles up and ready before then.
Our platoon has recently gone into a serious debate about the sentence, "the ball is round". Our chit-chat initially started wif everyone thinking about how unsuccessful we are when we're already 1/4 into our life. 20yrs old and all of us feel that we've not done something tt we're really proud to say that we've achieved something in our 20yrs. I wonder if everyone feels that way...All I've done is study study and study. I kinda regret not spending my sec sch days in a more fruitful way developing the other aspect of my capabilities instead of just burying deep into my studies just hoping to get good grades. I was half-committed to master Chinese Chess when I joined the club, only hoping to chalk up sufficient CCA points to move on to JC. I was glad I spent more time in my upper sec days doing more stuff wif the Council. That has definitely changed me lots in terms of my character and my goals in life. I just realised that I need to do something more fulfilling, that there's something lacking in my life in terms of success and achievement. I am definitely putting my precious time into many wrong things but I haven't envisioned what I can really do.
I guess it's about time for me to seat down and really plan hard what I intend to do in the nxt few yrs concurrently while studying so as to spend the time on things tt are more worthwhile.
