Last night was Sweden vs Holland. Wanted so much to watch the match but i fell aslp! But nevermind, important thing is i won money, after previous days of a losing streak. It was a draw, with Holland beating Sweden in the penalties. Just as what i've thought, it was a 0 goal match! Argh. wasted. I din bet on the total goals. Czech Republic gonna play Denmark tonight, i hope the former wins. Shud be qt a close match again...
POP-ing soon! The week that jus went past really was enriching to me. It plays with ur mind n mental strength. Sea expedition was a killer, yeah trust me abt 70% of the platoon was seasick. Imagine a 8-men seaboat ending up with only 3 to 4 ppl rowing... whats gonna happen? Haha. I was down with seasick as well.. after we got out of the basin. The current outside was so strong that caused many of us to vomit countless times. My seaboat was like 5 men throwing up and left with 3 warriors rowing the boat. Doubtlessly, conflicts arise because only 3 men were rowing and its not gonna make the boat move. For myself, the feeling was really so unbearable to me that i wanted to give up. I jus wanted to get back to the base, away from the waters thats making me sick. After sometime i went over to the officers' boat, thinking i shud not be a burden to my frens anymore. (considering the no. of times they have cursed n sweared at us) I vomitted twice on the officers' boat and somehow recovered. There's this female officer onboard who's worth admiring. She motivates everyone and shows no sign of fatigue. Truly amazing considering that this exercise wasnt easy. We rowed from the morning 8am to until about 6pm in the evening.
It was a shagged experience, but we gained much from that...
Block leave is coming soon! Whoopee.. looking fwd more to the leave than rather passing out. I need a break!
