Imagine six days out there in the jungle with camouflage cream on you face 24 hours a day, eating combat rations and being ill throughout. I went in coughing and since the jungle wasn’t the best place for recovery, I came out with more cough and a blocked nose of mucus/phlegm. For those who have not been through the camp, I would advise you to take care of yourself and try NOT to fall sick during the period of time. You will cough in the middle of the night and this makes it hard to even sleep. Spice it up with some night “events”, I ended up being so tired that I could fall asleep in the middle of cleaning up my M16.
But I survived!
On a side note, I purchased what seems to be my first novel in a long time: Kite Runner. It’s worth a read if anyone needs any reading material.
It’s rather hard to maintain a so-called life. Weekends are rushed and you can only go out so many times and when in camp, you basically do the basic routine over everyday. Still I’ve managed to watch a few good movies lately. I haven’t really seen much movies lately that I can safely say was money was spent.
First up was Atonement. It’s basically a tragedy kind of story and since it was rated M18, it was my first M18 show. Honestly, I think it didn’t really warrant that rating – a NC-16 would have been sufficient anyway. The soundtrack was pretty unique and was excellent. It used the sound made by those ancient typewriters as part of the music.
Next up was Kite Runner based on the novel of the same title. The story is great but I think the novel does the story more justice. You miss out certain important elements like characters’ thoughts which obviously cannot be put on screen.
On a side note, I finally managed to achieve a sub-ten 2.4 km run timing – 9:52 =)
Shucks, I am hooked and addicted to this rap. It’s kind of catchy and I can’t stop listening to it while pouring over my economics notes.
And so I present four variants to the rap and the lyrics. keke. (This post is mainly for my own reference to the lyrics.)
-Hook
do the impossible
see the invisible
raw! raw!
fight the power!
touch the untouchable
break the unbreakable
raw! raw!
fight the power!
what you gonna do is what you wanna do
just break the rule, then you see the truth
this is the theme of “G” coming through baby!
raw! raw!
fight the power!
-Verse1
power to the peeps, power for the dream
still missing piece scattering, so incomplete
we be the most incredible soldier from underground
see how easy, they all fall down
digging to the core to see the light
Let’s get out of here babe, that’s the way to survive
top of the head, I’m on the set
do the impossible, don’t you wanna bet?
cuz, a lot of things changed, we be waiting in vain
if you wanna get by, no pain no gain
wow! fakers wanna test me again
(damn! suckers wanna test me again)
sorry, my rhyme’s gonna snatch your brain
we gonna make it happen with the crazy rap
(I’m still starving for the straight up shit)
we gonna make it happen with the crazy rap skill (shit)
get ready to rumble, now is the time
if you don’t know, now you know
(good luck fellows! ha ha)
-Hook
-Verse2
2nd verse dedicates to the real peeps
what we got to say is so real thing
(what we got to say is damn real thing)
cuz, revolution ain’t never gonna televise
kicking the mad flow, microphone phenotype
(kicking the dope shit, microphone phenotype)
open your third eye, seeing through the overground
I’m mabout to hit you with the scream from the underground
whole city is covered with the cyber flavor
“G” is in your area, one of the toughest enigma
