1 year soldier, not yet.

I have already been promoted to the rank of Lance Corporal a month ago, but I have not reached the one-year mark for my National Service. Long way to go. I hate going to work. I literally drag myself to work. I wanted to transfer but I'm just to scared to ask for one. So I'm just stuck with this shitty job for at least half a year more.. I don't think that I'll be upgraded from floor duty anytime soon. Furthermore, the lack of my batchmate, only makes life more miserable. I think that jackass is enjoying life somewhere out there.

Anyway, need to spend less money. I believe I've spent way too much money this month. There was the Anime Festival. I stupidly bought model kits. I should've bought more anime shirts instead. But still at the end of the day, I was going to lose money anyway. Looking forward to next year's.

Also need to exercise more. I was able to endure 3 x 20 minutes intervals of running. I just hope that I have a chance to get gold for ippt. The last one I took (which was in MPTS) ended up in silver due to my 2.4km run and the shuttle run. First time in life I did so badly in shuttle run. I used to easily get A for shuttle run. I guess my lack of running and sprinting is showing. As for the 2.4, I missed it by 5 seconds.

In my effort to achieve the gold, I've already started running. I bought new running shoes from new balance. While all of my previous shoes were running cushioning shoes, the ones I bought were focused more on stability. They look nice, with a white, green, grey and black colour scheme like Tiger from Tiger and Bunny (an anime), and it feels great while running. Perfect for running on the treadmill in the gym in camp, havent really tested the shoes outside, although I do walk to work wearing the new running shoes. One and only thing I dislike about the shoes is their complete lack of grip and traction on wet surfaces. I think it has something to do with how much surface contact the sole of the shoe has on the surface. I'm guessing that too much contact makes the shoe slip on wet surface. Or maybe it's just the material of the shoe soles. I'm not really sure, but I'm would really like to run with my shoes outside rather than just running on the treadmill all the time.
