ICT 2008
I never thought that i would say this but i miss my law tube. badly.
The SAF recently switched from the law tube to the matador
look at how heavy it is. it's almost 20% of my body weight. oh my goodness. thank goodness that i belong to a laidback platoon who would avoid carrying the matador at all costs. otherwise, this will seriously add to my sense of indignation about why i was part of the chosen to be stuck with the law vocation. hahaha.
the live firing was however memorable. suffice it to say that all troopers assembled there spontaneously Awwwed together in unison after the live demonstration, not an easy feat for jaded soldiers who dread ICTs. haha. the back blast was so powerful that i was in shock for a while. the sergeant had to remind me to put the weapon to 'safe'.
i fired a matador. freaking awesome. now, i can get addicted to the thrill and adrenalin induced by sheer firepower. heh.

so, we had an impromptu-announced nights off on thursday, to which i decided to book out alone and catch a movie.
a pity that kungfu panda was unavailable so i watched Wanted solely on the strength of
the story links were tenuous at times but it was delightful to watch. it's kinda a light-hearted version of The Matrix, which was cool since i think i am gravitating towards movies which don't take themselves too seriously.
a few of my company mates expressed astonishment at how i watched a movie alone but i don't mind doing things alone actually and have no qualms about admitting that as fears of being perceived as a loser are so beneath me now. haha. i wonder if my gungho-ness to be alone suggests regression since i seem like a social recluse or a narcissist who is hell-bent on fulfilling his own selfish desires but it's a development that i am quite happy about. it's nice to know that you can be independent.
~~~
having said that, i must say that it's my second foray into Attila Company Platoon 5's terrain and i appreciate kai wei's presence, who makes me feel included by simply involving me in his platoon mates' plans and conversations. sometimes, it's sufficient to know that others know of your existence. haha.
