I must
What a happy week it's been. Three happy hours in two days is a little bit excessive, but who's counting? And there's one coming up tomorrow morning too. Battalion's probably trying to spend all the excess money before the next Mono starts.
It's been a rather tiring week. crazy ass 5 click run with our new co on friday. Wasn't really the run that was tiring, but more the 15 mins of PT before the run and the 5 minutes' worth after that did it for me. Played soccer with the guys yesterday, and boy was it shag! But it was real fun, and it was mildly therapeutic seeing richard run around and tackling everyone and everything to the ground. Except for that part where he floored me mere minutes after we started playing.
Some vague speculation and mild ambition wafting around in the last few days. To be honest it's not really feasible, and if it's gone through with then it's likely to end in humiliation and defeat. But you know, it's awoken something in me that's been missing for far too long. And even though some might advise against it, it just seems the natural and right thing to do. But I have to admit, it does intimidate and I am a little scared.
What- me, worry?

Sheakespeare's Sonnet CXXX
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red, than her lips red:
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound:
I grant I never saw a goddess go,
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.
Brings back memories, eh? =)

Teruk Tuesday
It was a horrible day. Re-shoot after re-shoot. Run-down included. Maybe they didn't realise how demoralising, and tiring, it was for us. And I don't remember being so bad at range.
So after like, countless shoots, I still failed. And to make things worse I forgot to wear my earplugs. Amazing how a meagre four shots, unprotected, can leave your ears ringing for days after. The only other sound's the wheeee.
And I guess I'll never actually get round to doing it unless I make a public announcement.
I, Sxxx2352C, 3SG Gabriel Peter Olsen, hereby delcare that, I am going to get Ippt Gold by June (when my intake comes in fresh from tekong). Not just gold but Guards Gold. That means 9.14 for the run and 5 points for everything else. Treadmill and pull-up bar will be my two closest friends from now on.
After so many years of barely passing (and then failing once chin-ups came into the picture), I should start striving for a Gold or something.
It's about time!
ps. Happy Birthday Adelene Wu Weilin.

Moti-moti-gotta-lotta-Motiva-shun!
At a time where I need to start Exercising seriously, here comes the perfect incentive.
Soccer in two weeks time at Bishan Park! Can't wait.
And if you don't want to be injured then don't be there!
Cos I can be your Ben if you'll be my Pedro. (Okay that sounds wrong but if you follow the English football you'll get it. 'Only real fans understand'. )
