type='text'>yet another week</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;It turned out to be not quite a bad week this week,with us being able to enjoy leaves from thursday to next tuesday,as announced by OC sir(Officer Commanding,apparently the biggest in the company already) on wednesday.Hopes and glees filled my mind with plans to visit the library again and meet up with old friends,lyk this is the longest ever leave i've ever had.But....But what happenned next turned out to be a revengeful catastrophe brought upon me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Wed afternoon- had symptons of fever but didn't tell out&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Wed night-fever confirmed.took my temp,38.4 degs,yet not reporting sick.stayed strong and fought on&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;and on and on...shivering the whole night,couldn't sleep well&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Thur morning-decided to report to the mo,in hope of getting longer status actually.ended up with 2 days light duties&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;The moment i came back-the moment of truth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;-buddy told me i had 2 guard duties next week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;-then sgt said theres one more for me,this week.(which means 2 days are gone).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;-then sgt conducted a search for handphones.(Apparently there weren't any phones lost and they for some reason just did it for their selfish own pleasures.)i got caught with my  handphone on.strange but the rest with their phones on had made calls that day but i didn't.so for punishment= 1x confinement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;All but all,though it seems woefully terrible,and that these 2 weeks turned from a blissfully decorated week to (WPheww),all outings and meetings are foiled,i guess it serves me right as a duty i must yet confer to and not run away from it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;with faith and with courage,fight

aloud my voices,views and opinions to the world,and also the weekly reports of camp life here in Seletar(an army camp in Singapore).I've found that blogging might be still the best form of expression of one's idea(i dont write songs i dont write poems now,not now),and espcially when i'm not putting any time into writing essays because i'm vehemently,reluctantly and coercfully compelled to serve the nation's glory for 2 long years in my life,this(blogging) makes the most efficient and convinient way for me to pen down my thoughts.So and if any of you,intended or unintended readers happen to stumble upon this ordinary blog,please bear with the poor command of language usage as i'm doing my best already to rectify it.(we dont usually speak english in army)sigh,that's all for now.and
