Sleep eat sleep

They say that when you wear green you can sleep anytime, anywhere. I used to think that only referred to the 18 year old youngsters who haven't found any meaning in life. I was wrong. Reservists also sleep anytime, anywhere. In fact, they sleep everytime, everywhere! Any canteen break, lunch break or even toilet break, you will find them lying down on the benches, on the floor, on the kerb, everywhere!

So what's this obsession with sleeping? Are they really that tired from staying up all night? We spend most of the time doing nothing productive anyway, so they can't be tired from the activities..... Well, firstly, the uniform makes you freaking hot and lethargic in this weather, I'd rather be wearing a t-shirt anytime. Not to mention that most of the waiting is done in non-air-conditioned environments. And I'd suppose there isn't really anything else to do! The first day everyone is excited catching up with each other and trading stories. But by the second day everyone is sick of seeing each other and wearing the uncomfortable uniform so they are all just lying around everywhere waiting to go home! They say that soldiers "wait to rush, rush to wait". Well, reservists "wait to wait, then they wait some more"!

I suppose some are anticipating that life is going to be a living hell when we start jungle training next week, so better rest now. And better bulk up too, everyone's been eating more than usual, including myself. But I suppose you can't be just eating all day, so eat and sleep for now.....

I just saw Wan Xin Ling performing in a variety show on Channel U just now. Did you see those dance moves while she was doing the song Da Da Da? That footwork was so awesome man! Wow, what an amazing performance, and nice song too! I wonder if she has any other nice songs? Sometimes with a performance like that, you can't really tell the talent of the artiste by listening on the radio. I mean, there wasn't much theatrics and stuff (not like Snoop Dog MTV), just pure legwork and singing. Just pure skill!
