be contented!
15 weeks moreeeeee. it's so goddamn freaking torturous i really hate it. D:
on weekends like these, usually looking forward to soccer matches. but tonight there's none. zzzzz. sucks!
the whole of the past week was occupied by frisbee. main thing was the hectic week in camp. which also happened to include frisbee. wednesday was all preparation for the RSAF anniversary. which i was damn stressed about. due to the fact that i had to take 2000 plus people for warm up and cool down. which happened to include the chief of air force. a 2-star general. G__G. plus the only ME8 in SAF. and for fun fact, zoe tay's husband. it helps that i don't recognise ANY of them. so i just pretend they are all little bobbing heads that will listen to my commands and do whatever i tell them to. thank god all the things that could have gone wrong didn't go wrong. all the AV equipment worked fine and stuff. phew. this kind of thing, i suppose if you do it all the time, it would come naturally. but it's the biggest crowd i've ever taken. damn scary. looking down at the soccer field, filled with people, is really quite traumatising. interesting experience nonetheless i guess.
after that, really heaved a sigh of relief. and then it was games day time! got lucky again as i won my third frisbee competition in NS. guangyu was on MC so our only obvious rivals were visibly weakened. but nevertheless, they managed to get their hands on an NS-man WHO WAS THERE ON RESERVIST. and guess who? it's none other than my first frisbee coach, mr wong chee wai -.- damn cheat haha i didnt know ns-men can come play also wth LOL. damn coincidental but whatever. but in the end, we won all our three matches comfortably, round of eight 4-0, semis 5-1, and finals 4-1. and for ego purpose, i scored 3 in the finals. :D all were ee shan's assists HAHA.
was hoping they'd have medals or something. but wth. i thought a RSAF level event would have medals. but they only gave the overall challenge shield. which was won by my camp/command thanks to our victory in frisbee. we were tied on total points with another command and frisbee was the last and deciding game, whoever won frisbee would win it. my higher-up who is the one who schedules me for my monthly duty jokingly asked me how many duties i wanted before the match. hint hint that if we won it he might give me less/no more duties. well i hope he's serious about it. HAHA. maybe, just maybe, i might not have any more duties until i ORD. HAHAHA. that'd be far better than getting medals.
also met up with one of my PTI coursemates after the event for lunch. for some weird reason, while i can't clique with them as a group, i somehow can actually have stuff to talk to them individually. sometimes. it was rather interesting, thinking back about all the course time stuff. stupid stuff that happened. although most of it weren't particularly pleasant and enjoyable, i guess it's still rather nostalgic. actually, i have to admit that i dreaded every single day of my PTI course. sometimes even hated it. but thankfully i pulled through it. always with the end in mind, that i won't live to regret it. that all will be for a easier life in NS. and here i am, leading a really good life now. i'm glad and contented. :D
meeting up with my frisbee batch tmr. :D for PvsP training LOL. hm. are we really too competitive? i mean yes, i would really want to win it. but honestly, i think i wouldn't be too upset if we do lose. coz i really quite simply just want to play with my batch ppl again. what with all this eatdisc stuff that we're in now. if it wasn't for pvsp, i wouldn't actively be remembering how it all started out. i mean, of course i would never forget how it all started, but the very thought of pvsp just makes me think back everytime, how we used to train at the high school fields, the college fields, the central plaza, and even the area beside my class bench. quite frankly, jc is the most impactful period of my life. and quite honestly, jonquek is the one i have to thank for most of the happy things i have in life now. one simple, random, seemingly insignificant act of suggesting/asking me to go try frisbee after being rejected by MAD (LOL). how it changed my life afterwards is really just, amazing.
i shudder to think how lifeless i'd be now, if that one random suggestion had not been made. probably gaming away my NS life. or wait, i might not even have been physically fit enough to become a PTI had it not been for frisbee, and thus i might not be having an easy NS life now. for all i know, i might be somewhere overseas, sleeping in a shellscrape now. LOL cui.
being contented makes you appreciate little things that happen in life. like how my dad forcing my secondary school choices onto me has been a blessing in disguise, well it was in disguise for one whole year. i'm lucky. really really lucky.
but still doesn't change the fact that 15 weeks is rather a long long time away. D:
