going back to (an army) camp totally brought back memories.
the regimentation, i forgot i couldnt book in in slippers. haha
no camera phone
green outfits
the stench (wherever, whoever u might think of)
the poor NSFs who have to be on duty on a sat evening
the WO who can be mistaken as coffee shop uncles.

all these
what for, u might ask?
no, not for reservist
at least hopefully not in the next two years where i'm still in school.
for IPPT.
its a routine for us guys.
its the first one since i ORD-ed and i was quite clueless bout the procedures lest the the few tips some of my friends gave me.
we're supposed to clear it before our birthday, so being the last min me, i just cleared it last saturday
and i'm so glad i passed, silver to be exact!
thats a $200 ang pow for me coming my way..
hahah.
i've nv reached gold standards since my running has always sucked.
but oh wells, i'm not complaining about the extra cash i'm gonna get and forget RT (remedial trg for those failures)!
yay!

CNY's approaching and i'm really quite excited.
just an excuse for me to get one or two new outfits.
but that's besides the point,
shopping for new year goodies and what nots,
somehow means a little more than last year.
i guess i'm starting to appreciate what its like being chinese.
:)
