Embarking On A New Journey
I'm going to enlist to army on Feb 10!! There's less than one month left. I've been training at a moderate pace to prevent my muscles from wearing out too much and feeling fatigue. This is to allow me to train consistently everyday until a few days before I enlist. Now my training plan is to run every alternate days and do non aerobic exercises like weight training every other days. Recently I just increased my running distance to 8km. It's extremely tiring and I have to keep eating to replenish the fats and carbohydrates burned. I hope I eat enough to obtain sufficient amount of nutrients for usage. Otherwise, my muscles will be burned instead!! Sigh.. not easy to train. However training only takes up a few hours a day. This leaves me idle for the rest of the day, causing me to waste so many hours each day. Yesterday I got my army watch and phone and also went to order a plastic spectacles for army usage. Spent about $220 in total =.= I can't believe I'm spending that much money for army. It's like paying to become a slave. Hope I get used to my training soon and also to survive it. More importantly, I hope it is effective. If not I would have a tough time in army. Well, can only hope for the best now.
I've been spending some time finding information of whatever courses available and I found a course which interest me a lot. It's BBA (Accountancy). When I check the cut off point for last year, the 10th percentile was like AAA/A!! I was like OMG. I'm now worried that I may not get into this course. Most students must have scored straight As.. I'll try find my second choice soon. One more thing. I wonder what grades that one should look at if they want to apply for scholarships. I'll take my time to find answers to these questions since there's plenty lol.
Lol I'm going to become gay for the next two years. It's like going back to all boys school haha. Luckily I'm quite used to it already. If not I will have a hard time trying to adapt. I'm trying to find a new goal to work towards to. Some people are aiming to go OCS during NS. However, I wonder do they know that each year only 1600 people got selected to go OCS? Moreover, they are not planning to sign on SAF. I don't see why would SAF wants to waste 38 weeks training officers which will only carry out their duty for less than a year. Although some may still get selected, but I don't think the chances are high. Well I got to find out what can I do during my period of service too.
Trying to find time to hang out with my friends nowadays. Everyone will part ways one day and we will all embark on a new journey. We will find new friends, new goals or even new homes. Some will still keep in contact with others while some will disappear as though you never knew them. Then again, finding up that they enjoy their new lives is enough to make me happy. I went to facebook to check up the activities of my secondary school friends. They seemed to be enjoying themselves and as a friend and I feel happy for them too even though we may not have contact each other for so long. Hopefully I'll find my joy too. That's all for now!!
