musings
then evening one of the guys got charged. this infamous Nicolas Tan, some idiotic guy, bossy haughty attitude. history of Secret Society. somehow was going to start fighting with another recruit. pushed the guy. sergeant intervened, got pushed too. another one came to help and got pushed too. so he kenna DB liao lor. simple. was just waiting for something like this to happen. amazingly, at lunch time, we spotted that guy at cookhouse, being his typical self, and i remarked to the rest that quite soon he'll go DB, just a matter of time. and we joked that we should prepare his FFI documents and get MO to sign it first. within half a day of saying that, he went. tsk tsk. there, his ORD just got extended. it's only been 10 days enlisted. it's this sorta people who really need the 2 years of NS.
just stupid. maybe he's lacking a leader to tell him when to fight and when not to. to tell him when to keep low and when to strike. to teach him discretion, intelligence, cunning. the other recruits are already disliking him, from the general feeling. i'm sure this is a good move for both the recruits and the instructors.
.
when people say they dislike a particular companion, friend, classmate, acquaintance of theirs, do they actually think of this kinda people. those far removed from our social circle. so far and so distant that it takes some thinking to try to figure out what they're doing. it was a blessing to grow up with those who i grew up with.

further PTP excitements in camp. friday afternoon they had a 2.6km run, coz the morning one got postponed. alright, run, rather slowly. then one guy collapsed. hyperventilating and semi-conscious. wow. too bad i wasn't there to see it, i was off having dinner. and no doctor around by that time. so he was put on oxygen and sent to Nee Soon, IV en route. later was sent down to TTSH frm there. what a bad state he got in after just such a short run. gosh. no wonder we have to provide cover for every bloody thing they do. they are So weak. so much trouble too.
