this week was hectic and shagged. damn lots of physical training packed within the last three days of the week. lots of running in general.

good news is finally we can bring our psps into the camp. we are gonna do grenade throwing next week. bad news is that i am going to field camp the week after next. the sian inside me is just like a over-filled bottle.

went out with weijun and darren to town yesterday and watched hurt locker. i was doubtful when darren told me that it's very nice. he even promised that if i feel that the movie is crap he will compensate me with $11 (when the ticket prices is $10 at saturdays). i have to admit that the movie really depicts about the different kinds of US troops stationed in the iraq or afghanistan. the storyboard and character development is strong throughout the movie and seriously i recommend this movie to all those guys still in army (but not guys with their girlfriends dozing off halfway in the theatre). it's not the kind of movie where it's bombs and gunshots raining down. instead this movie emphasises on the mental aspect of soldiers in situations far worse than what i think a field camp is. either way i still tried to ask for compensation at the end of the movie but to no avail. a unique military-based movie. must watch.

to weijun:

either way try your best. because you shouldn't regret after that; no matter what happens in the end. i've been there...so i shall say that it's more about learning and growing from this experience. don't give up so easily...but if needed learn to let go slowly.

lastly be mentally prepared when you watch this:
