#Revive.

Life has been especially stressful these days. Coupled with the rain storm since yesterday, I really wonder if this streak of 'bad days' are gonna end soon. Well, I am stuck with History readings with I cant even comprehend. Imperialism in Africa, bah, it sounds so simple. But with stuff like political disunity, Abushiri's resistance against Italian troops against Ethiopia and what not, I really wonder why I even chose to join the Humanities programme in the first place. Not much of a History person myself, I prophetically foresee my self struggling to keep up with the pace of Mr Karplus. Well, NPCC has become increasingly taxing too. SGT cape just took place last friday, and the arms drill section is already completeted~ Too look at things from a more peripheral POV, I am actually worried that I will fail turnout and bearing. Haha, that seems like the worst section to fail, but according to Murphy's Law : Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Tent Pitching and survival cooking is on Tuesday, and people who know about my Campcraft track record in NPCC, will know that tent pitching and survival cooking would easily be the 2 components that deny me my SGT rank.Onto the topic of CCA, there is this certain someone who is really getting on to my nerves. He thinks that he is one of the elite few in NPCC just because he attended some silly course, which I in the first place persuaded him to go. He thinks that he is the elite few just because he is on good terms with the seniors (which, is more of a self-proclamation) Basically, I just detest his cockiness, thats all. Sigh I feel really mean to be discussing this online; especially with the power of the World Wide Web and all.In all, I hope that I will finish my HRP on time, be a good NCO next year, serve the operations department well and do well for PDAY! haha! To end this relatively long 'rant-like' status with a quote which I find meaningful : He was so benevolent, so merciful a man that, in his mistaken passion, he would have held an umbrella over a duck in a shower of rain.
