OCS.
Went to the Officer Cadet School (OCS) with the Scholars Development Program (SDP) today, was rather boring, but it left an awesome impression on me. Sounds contradictory, I know but it is exactly how I felt.
It's like in Secondary school, I've always wanted to take part in the SAF, as an officer, not as a normal recruit cuz I know I cmi when it comes to physical trainings and what not, no surprise there I believe.
It's hard to give up the little luxuries in life such as air conditioning, good food, and most importantly, freedom.
This 'dream' some what died down over the years, and it especially immediately faded away cuz I found out that women can't keep long hair in the SAF, no friggin' way am I gonna give up my middle-length (and still growing) hair just for the privilege of calling myself an officer.
So yes, activities planned included a bus tour around the general compound; the physical section where we say our very own NY guys against the cadets in terms of chin ups all that and 2 ways to detain someone; field activities where we got to see the guys "shoot" at each other; the weapons introduction; camouflage; and we even got to taste how outfield rations were like, I gave that a pass anyway.
I even got to see my cousin there! I never knew that he was in the National Service, let alone in OCS, totally shocked the hell out of me when he tapped me on the shoulder. Didn't expect him to recognise me, so cool to have a cousin as an officer (officially in a few more months!)
Awesomez :)
But yes, I guess it didn't affect me much cuz I still had the "I don't want to give up my hair, I'm vain like that" mentality so, too bad :O
Okay, Desmond is booking out tomorrow and faggot, I was supposed to meet him straight after school but they had to say that there is a gm tomorrow, fucking short notice and thanks so much, there goes like more than 4 hours of the time I can spend with him gone. Thanks so bloody much.
Gah, at least D is understanding enough, me love you the fucking most okay <3
I've not been caring about some things today and it makes me feel great, I shall continue with it this way.
