=Navy Life=
Ok, now I'm really in navy man. I'm not really sure this was what I wanted but since I'm posted to navy, I've got to learn to adjust to it.

My current group of friends are frank, direct especially those in my class. They will voice out whatever things they are unhappy about in a rather uncouth and rude manner. Thus, my platoon is often in trouble and there is little the rest in the platoon can do to salvage the situation they ruined with the words. Well, I'm still figuring out how I can go along with them and yet still be the Kai Cheng I was. Their life experience is rich and in depth through many difficulties in life and hence they will go to illegal extent to do things which I find it disturbing personally. However, I cannot comment on anything about that, it's their life anyway and I've never been through it.

Most of the time in camp is quite slack. Awaiting for the pre-JRC period is like that, I heard from the privates in the earlier batch. I can't see the reason why we're put in camp till Saturday when there is basically nothing to do except to pass swimming CAT test and I heard that the privates from the earlier batches showed unsatisfactory performance in their JRC and so the permanent staff decides it this way to maintain higher standards of discipline. I wonder how true is that.

My allowance isn't a lot. But ever since I gotten allowance from NS, my mum stopped giving any form of money to me. She became almost stingy to the extent that meal money also refused to pay for me... I've got nothing much to say for the reason she gave. Well, since I aren't attached now, I may as well pamper myself a little given the chance. I need to grow up emotionally. I still feel I ain't having the treatment of a 19 year old man.

Since most of the time in camp, I'm not maximising the use of time, I'm deliberating whether to buy entertainment console to play in camp. Otherwise, I'll be bored to death watching my cabin mates play their gameboys... Afterall, reading novel is just one alternative and I need several more so I won't feel bored in camp.
