Not again!

The whole of Delta Company got nights off for no apparent reason. What makes me feel even more uneasy is that we pretty much pissed most of the instructors off today. We came down late for first parade, our bunks were all in a terrible condition and I guess our general discipline was quite lax. Hmmm. What compounds my uneasiness is the fact that Mohawk Company back in BMTC wasn't anywhere near this level of welfare. Imagine being allowed to visit the canteen after every meal time and having the privilege of walking back to coy line instead of marching one big round back. Simply unthinkable back then.

Anyway, who's complaining. The next few days and weeks are gonna be quite shiong. Exercise Gypsy 1's this Thursday. Hopefully we won't get lost in Lower Mandai huh... Thankfully camp's pretty near home. Had dinner with some of the mates, before coming back to restock on food and run some errands. Yup, so that explains my presence here.

Oh yeah, didn't get to try out the tear gas chamber today. They struck off those who have asthma or childhood asthma for that matter, from the nominal roll. And I had cough this morning as well! What a waste. Probably won't be able to experience such a thing in future. Hmmm.

Was talking to Evan the other night, and we shared certain concerns regarding the youths and our ministry. It can be quite worrying to see how those who're close to you, or those who used to be close to you, being distracted or falling away. I won't say they're backsliding, that's too serious a word. But still, they're not the same anymore, and you just don't know how to reach out to help them. Mending broken relationships is especially difficult. For me at least. Oh well. The sad thing is, I don't have that much time during the week to be able to keep in contact with say, my Sec 3 group, let alone others in the ministry. Really feel kinda cut off lah I must say, having to miss CBSI, Saturday's YLTC and things like that. Hopefully after BSLC or ASLC, my timetable'll be lighter. That'll really help. =)

Okay, gotta bathe before going back to camp. Ciao.
