hmm. collected toilet fund from my whole platoon. Oh man this week I had been appointed as platoon IC. wearing a red 3-stripes was kinda cool however the tesk given wasn't easy. This week was also my marksman range. Guess what happened during my practice shot on wed. My rifle underwent technical problem(I.A) Wah..I like miss alot of targets because of it. As was asked to re-shoot again. The 'L' sigh was like flashing in my forehead. After the 2nd reshoot, I.A again. Ahh.. I was going for my third attempt. I was tired. My blood was boiling, my fist was waiting a punchbag, my mouth was at it peak of breaking into a new tongue.(in a negetive way) Then my section and platoonmates came to me and pour concern. "Oh man! why am i angry? at something so small." only then did i learn something. Thurs came about, it was my real test for marksman..200bucks!! I wasn't prayin for marksman ship but rather no I.A which was a total spoiler. The day shot was great, I missed 6 but had enough points to get marksman it all boils down to my nightshot which I can't miss a single shot. night came. My sgt came to me personally and checked my equipment though he was not supposed to. One of my sectionmates changed his better ammo mag with mine. Another platoon, thomas who was next to me, said "If u miss, I will shot for u." "Bang Bang!" It was all over. the result was to be disclosed the next morning. The following morning came. My buddy had the highest morning score of 14/16 and he was anxious about it. I had to encourage him. For me..wed lesson was enough. "Achievements isn't who we were made to be." Thus, whatever the outcome. I had earned more. I had gained friends and support from so many pp,from ah beng to some I had only know that day, thomas. That was my reward. "I told myself and my sectionmates "If I get or dun get the 200. I will still bring in snacks!" The result was.. I didn get it. I missed by 2 shots. my buddy score..21/28. one more to get the $200. his expression tells it all. that night before we sleep I had to talk to him. We laugh and shared view. Anw.being the toilet assistant I really had to do 'shit' work. shit stains in the bowl I had to clean, it wasn't an ideal place. But as always. I'm glad that I can make a difference as a Christian. haha toilet fund. "Alvin, had compassion when he visited RC toilet!" Training is getting tougher so is my devotion time. kana reject by one of my sectionmates when I ask him to come church,so with one of my contact..actually only got one, samuel. But as always without adversity, where then can Christ be found :) -mr brightside
