Still here smelling mangoes~
Yes, I’m still in Thailand for the 3 weeks or so training. Moving off to the 8 days outfield tomorrow so see you guys in a week’s time.
Thailand, here we come!
This is possibly my last post before going on a 3 week hiatus. I’m heading off to Thailand for, as you have guessed, 3 weeks. The past 9-10 weeks have passed by quickly much to everyone’s surprise. Perhaps it is due to the packed schedule we have.
Well, ASLC so far has been pretty much alright (can’t really say now as we have not done our overseas training yet) We finished our final outfield training in Singapore, which was our Grandslam 2, last week. The highlight for our Grandslam was definitely the:
Chinnook Ride
I was pretty much exhilarated when I hear we were going to ride it. It was a pretty unique experience and the ride was quite smooth albeit the the loud metal noise produced by the two propellers.
Trench Digging
This is probably one of the main reasons why people refused to go to ASLC. Well, the trench digging was probably not as bad as I thought since they supplied us with chungkol and spades. The sheer thought of digging it with the E-tools (a miniature version of the chungkol) was daunting but we were glad that did not occur.
With that, I bid you guys farewell. See you people in 3 weeks time!
Happy 21st Birthday!
By the time you are reading this, I’m probably out there in the jungles of Singapore. Plus, we are staying in this week which is to say that we might not book out. Sad aye? The mosquitoes will probably enjoy it though. On a happier note, like I mentioned in the previous post, I’ve already passed my SOC so I can concentrate solely on the outfields now. It will be one hell of a ride as I will have outfield for three consecutive weeks, followed by my Thailand training.Oh well, thanks in advance for your wishes (since I will be outfield and won’t be bringing along my phone) I’ll catch you guys later!
Menu *updated*
The Ingredients page has finally been updated. Wait! I meant the menu page. Well, I have not really added much but after leaving it in the dust since September 2008, it has undergone severe spring cleaning and is as good as new!
I passed!
I managed to pass my first SOC (standard obstacle course) test in ASLC! It might not be a big feat for some people but this is the first time I passed my SOC in my NS life. Thank god! Now I can go through the rest of the course without worrying about it.
A month and counting…
Alright! It has been a month since I started ASLC. Things have really start to roll here. I completed my 10km run in 50mins and managed to maintain a silver for my IPPT. I’ve also completed the hellish 32km route march. Why hellish you may ask? Reason is that during the route march, we have to cross a river at one point and yesh, it ain’t gonna be by boat. Swimming? Well, close enough. Continued the rest of the march drenched with river water (my boots were like fish tanks). Furthermore, I kept falling asleep agin during the march. For example, during the 24km to 28km checkpoint, I was like asleep 85% of the time. So far, ASLC isn’t that bad I guess (probably cause the field camps have yet to start) We’ll see how it goes.
ASLC
I’m back again! The good ol’ BSLC days are over. As expected, they posted me into ASLC which will take roughly 13 weeks (its more than that I heard). The first week has just passed and I can safely say that that was one hell of a messy week. Can’t post stuff here so ask me personally if you want to know.
Back from hiatus!
I am back from hiatus! Finally.. I’ve been busy for the past few weeks, what with high-key events going on like field camps and such. The short time I had after book-out was spent with my family, watching anime and playing Imagine. I went out with some of my friends a 2 weeks ago on a saturday to play LAN but that proved to be a big mistake as everywhere was fully occupied, not including the long waiting list. In the end, we settle at the gaming centre in Cineleisure, which cost each of us around 8 bucks for 2 hours. Played the game Left 4 Dead and enjoyed being the zombie while torturing the other players.
I heard good news regarding the YKT so congratulations to those who won. As always, for those who did not get what they want, time to buck up a little and train harder. Sorry because I cannot go down to support you guys as I ended my field camp that Saturday night. Guess I’ve got to go now. Till then~

Comments: Being an Atlus faithful, I received an invitation to play the closed beta of this game. I have to admit that because it is shin megami tensei (those who have played Persona should know), it sparked my interest to start playing an mmorpg again although I’m still in NS and I only have the weekends to play.
The mmorpg has the usual grinding and stuff but the main difference is you can form partnerships with the demons (think pokemon) and you can even fuse them to get stronger ones. The game has a story plot as well, to keep it from being your usual grinding mmorpg. The graphics are good, although not the best in the industry. The maps are huge, so there won’t be a case like one area getting clustered with players. All in all, if you liked the shin megami tensei series, you should give this game a try.
Data:
IGN: Kurogane
Guild: PerSona
