Time to do justice to my blog. =) My mood today was really really great! Never felt happy for more than 24hrs for a long time. Ahhh! Away from duty really makes me different. Had this fire-fighting course from wed till this afternoon. The smoke logged exercise was kinda tiring and scary but i enjoyed every part of the course. Was great reuniting and spending time with all the ssc3 guys, even though only for 1.5days. Times spent during the course, nights off and even skeeping time. Haa ytd was the last night together for us so we played some pranks on the unfortunate guys. Heh back to the course. All along had the impression of scdf as slack and relac one, but seriously that wasnt the case at all. We witnessed their training sessions and heard some stories from the instructors themselves. Indeed, they impressed me with their bravery n confidence in dealing with fires, emergencies or situations that they have to analyse on the spot.
On a different note, tomorrow is back to duty and the mundane life. Its like living dead.. u know? Ahh just that you absorb nothing from doing duties. Unlike courses at least you learn something, and in the case of this course, it has boosted my self-confidence and the belief in yourself. Im aware of that, when i finished the pitched-dark maze which i thought i couldnt in the first place.
Now again we are back to our respective platoons. Where platoons dont see eye to eye, where so much dislike and agony for one another exists. Whats worse? Even within the platoon this happens as well. Sabotages, chao keng, pushing the blame, act blur. So happens that the newbies like us are often the preys of others, but at times i turn out to be the predator. Its so unhealthy to be working in such an environment, but theres only a slight possibility that this will change when the new guys come to replace the old guys. But judging from the ssc4 guys' behaviour, i dun foresee that.
Back to this constant flying-daggers place. I hope i wun get hit for the time being.
