Wetterdienst...Musiksüchtig!

Hallo ihr alle da draussen...This week's my first in FATA and to all those Liaison pricks who are reading this: We are NOT slack. Hypocrisy rules these days man especially when people with the slackest timetables walk up to you and say "FATA slack! FATA slack!" Aber Schlägerei zu machen wird nichts ändern...Leider, nicht? Na also. Kicked off the week with FAMS (Field Artillery Meteorological Station) which is basically gathering meteorological data so we can feed corrections to the guns to fire accurately.

Sounds simple? Well it isn't, really. Wait until deployment drills come and then that's jialat...Well...it's like this. It involves camouflaging 3 vehicles within 8 minutes so that obviously requires a lot of teamwork and spirit. We made it the first few times before things started going wrong...Shack factor...because there was only 8 of us doing 9-10 men's work...which means we had no rest, just rotations...like running SOC, having a 1.5 minute break, then running SOC again...sigh...So tiring! -zzzz-...Weather sorta saved us from continuing late into the night, but that means that if we don't buck up then we're really going to suffer during EX EAGLE next week. Just after 2LT Gao talked to us and pepped us to perform better and when we were actually wanting to go and do what we could...then came the storm. Even Lauster told us to do what we could...I think as cadets we're afforded too much respect, i mean, it's not bad and all, but i myself am really trying to avoid crawling on their heads...Sigh...

Within Temptation has produced their 3rd studio album called The Silent Force...heard it's Mother Earth, and then some...which means not just the goth element but also the genre-spanning music, beautiful dreamy tunes and absolutely great lyrics! All of you should listen to them, even if you don't like loud loud music because they've got some pretty good tracks there too! Too bad that you can't get them in Singapore and i only got Mother Earth here for 50 bucks...which i found was quite shitty anyway so i'm hoping i can send The Silent Force to Sam...I think i'm going crazy because i'm always hunting for music...i simply have to stop spending on music because i'm saving up for another ball end of the year...i went bowling with Reuben yestiddy and was quite disgusted with my performance, but then again maybe it's the wooden lanes which i haven't gotten used to.

Ausreden. No one needs that.

Anyway coming back to music-craving...I have to stop spending because when Sam returns from Germany in Feb, she's gonna be bringing me enough music for a very long time...Not that the CDs i have now are shitty...they're all really good...because i have simply given up listening to what American music has to offer...and my advice to those out there is simply hör einfach auf, das ist kein wirkliche Musik...which is kinda sad because Europe has so much to offer but no one here discovers it. That's why perhaps i've been boycotting Perfect 10 and Power 98 for like eons...and that's why i strongly feel that Inter FM should play more musik instead of those classicals followed by Nachrichten auf irgendeine Fremdsprache...it's quite silly, really. Wait til i come back from Germany...maybe start a pirate station and get discovered...heehee...

Okay I shall write more tomorra, but until then here is a song from Laith Al-Deen called Das weiss ich...Wenn ihr Deutsch könnt, na das ist echt echt schön, nicht?

Laith Al-Deen - das weiss ich

der nebel weicht, befreit meinen blick
Ich wünsche mir so sehr die nacht zurück
was sie versteckt, macht mir das atmen schwer

es schien so klar, doch scheinen trügt
sind wir in gefahr? und ist unser sieg
genauso nah wie unendlich weit entfernt?

versuch mich zu erinnern an diesen ersten tag
erst mal gespürt, was lang verborgen lag
unser erstes morgenlicht, unser land in sicht
unerschütterlich

daß sich die erde um sich selbst dreht
ja das weiß ichdoch ob ihr schwindlig wird dabei
das weiß ich nicht
daß wir geschaffen sind füreinander
ja das weiß ich
ob wir das irgendwann kapieren
das weiß ich nicht

ein wort zuviel und die welt steht still
schaut mit schwerem blick, weil sie wissen will
wo denn all die leichtigkeit geblieben ist

und während ich ertrinke, das ist die ironie
kann ich sie wieder spüren, die magie
die dich umgibt und zu jeder zeit
die dämonen aus unserer welt vertreibt

daß sich die erde um sich selbst dreht
ja das weiß ich
doch ob ihr schwindlig wird dabei
das weiß ich nicht
daß wir geschaffen sind füreinander
ja das weiß ichob wir das irgendwann kapieren
das weiß ich nich
