For the Longest TimeWoo! I've really had a blast of a week! It ain't everyday when a gunner is truly happy with the week.. Indeed this week has been really enjoyable for me in every way.
Firstly, its simulator training. We get to finally feel like gunners as we gunned down in-bound bogeys all by ourselves, or teamed up in order to track and shoot down enemies despite the challenges of jamming. It was really fun (well unless you were waiting for your turn). I can't really give any details though, cos it could be classified XD i don't wanna have to kill anyone! Nonetheless it gave a respite from all the physical work we are used to. Not to mention the nights off we recieved during the week, which is a record 2 in a week! Sounds pretty pathetic now that I see it, mistral gets 5 days nights off as a norm lol..
Even SOC was good! Haha finally I managed to clock 9.24 mins for the trial test, after taking off all that sand cans. Think I have a bit more confidence now.. It is 1 test I must not fail at all costs.. No looking back now.. I really wanna pass out in March 06!
We had a Chistmas party at AFS which was really quite an event. Each course had to put up a performance, and the Gunners performed an acapella of the song "For the Longest Time". We had a lot of fun putting up that song, though perhaps the actual one wasn't that nice.. But our week was thus filled with singing, something I really miss while in camp. I wish everyday could be like this.. Its a beautiful song indeed..
The Longest TimeOh, oh, oh For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh For the longest time
If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time
Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me
When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time
Oh, oh, oh For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh For the longest time
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time
Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've gone this far
And it's more that I hoped for
Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chancesI forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time
I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself
Hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far
And it's more that I hoped for
I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for The longest time
Yes I really do..
