OUTWARD BOUND SINGAPORE. Gonna be a lengthy one. I did it. I completed my 9 days SCC OBS course. I knew this was going to be tough but I wasn’t expecting it to be REALLY REALLY tough. It was draining me both mentally and physically.
LAND EXPEDITION. We were activated to trek around Pulau Ubin for a 4 days 3 night. This was definitely the worst part of the camp for me. We would start our days at 7am and continuesly trek for hours to complete ‘missions’ which I felt was completely unrealistic and useless! A lot of the scenarios they gave us had nothing to do with improving our leadership qualities. What made it worse was that we had to trek with a bag load of 25kg which really drained all of our energy and kept straining our backs, legs and shoulders. Ontop of that we weren’t allowed to bath for the entire 4 days. Since we were only allowed to trek in our uniform, it was really masam HAHAH. Our sweat combined with mud and sand and dust just kept making me feel really dirty. We couldn’t even dry our clothes overnight because of the morning dew hence whenver we start off our day, we had to wear back the same smelly uniform that was wet. YUCK! Our sleeping conditions were also terrible omg we slept in a basha and whenver we had to pitch it, so many grasshoppers will keep bothering us. We had to sleep in the jungle and it wasn’t peaceful at all HAHAHA because everyone is just trying to keep the bugs out and sleep. The jungles were PITCCCCCH black and we couldn’t see at all without the use of a torch light. Insects such as a HORNED BEETLE, a wasp, spiders and ofc my dear grasshopppers kept visiting me at night. We also had to be wary of wild boars coming to steal our rations. We failed a lot of missions because we couldn’t make it in time but we tried our best though. A lot of us just couldn’t take it because we felt like it was all pointless uh. Many of my group mates had blisters and abrasions (kinda thankful I didn’t have it) which made them even more annoyed and angry whenever we had to trek further. One funny incident that occurred was when we had to fight monkeys during lunch HAHA because they kept trying to take our food. The only fun missions were abseiling and building a floatable raft. Other than that, hated almost every part of the trek :/
SEA EXPEDITION. Thought it was all over after our 4 days trek. Made it back to base camp, got to shower in peace and happy to sleep on a clean concrete ground when suddenly we were activated AGAIN ALAMAK FOR A 2 DAYS SEA EX. Everyone began to panic and started packing again for another trip GREATTTT. For day 1, we had to paddle on boats around Pulau Ubin which was around 24km and continue paddling to Punggol Jetty where we will end our journey. I was abit dumb ah I ate rice in the morning so when I got on the boat, I vomited HAHAH. We paddled and paddled and it was fun at first cos yay no more trekking just out at sea. Eventually it didn’t become fun but rather painful. Our arms started to sore from constant paddling and our energy levels were really low. After paddling around ubin, we finally saw the final stretch to Punggol Jetty but a storm hit all of a sudden. IM NOT KIDDING THIS WAS LIKE A MOVIE ALL OF A SUDDEN. The waves were rocking our boats like crazy and the wind was soooo powerful that our boats were being pushed towards the shore. A white out appeared which means the rain was SOOOOOOO HEAVY to the point we couldn’t even see 5m ahead of us. Yes, i’m not exaggerating either we really couldn’t see our surroundings. All the boats had to stay close and we were fighting against the current and wind. I paddled like mad HAHAHH everyone was shouting “ 1, 2, PUSH, 1, 2, PUSH!!”. SO KECOH AHAHAH ALL PANIC ALL SCREAMING ALL PUSHING ON TO NOT HIT SHORE HAHAHAH the weather was INSANEEEE. The rain drops felt like needles and there was lightning and thunder all around us. Eventually the instructors had no choice but to step in and save us. They were so professional and quickly tied our boats to their motorboat and quickly made our way to punggol jetty. Everyone was in a rush and had to move fast. Upon reaching the shore, we quickly had to pull the boats out of the water and carry it. There were so many public eye there watching us HAHAH. They got to see SCDF boys in action fuh. They were even taking vids of us lifting the boats and stuff HAHAH then some of my friends nak step garang all. What a day. We rested at night in the cold and I was appointed as the navigator IC for the next day. Turns out it’s not the end. On day 2, WE HAD TO TRAVEL EVEN FURTHER OMGGGG 32KM🤯. When we embarked for our second day, everyone was really at their lowest so me and the other leaders really had to motivate everyone. It was my first time navigating in open waters in an area I wasn’t familiar with. Had to lead the fleet from punggol all the way to Sembawang then back to Ubin. Shag. Despite how tired we are, we surprisingly did better in terms of how fast we were paddling because we kept motivating each other and had mini races that really boosted our morals. After rowing for quite some time, it started to storm again and everyone was lowkey happy HAHHAH because the instructors had to end the journey and pull us back to camp THANK GOODNESS. On our way back halfway, the storm cleared up ALAMAK SO KENE PADDLE AGAIN because the instructors let us go. So we paddled and paddled and everyone was super lathargic. I was so tired to the point I slept while rowing and I fell off the boat HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA SUDDENLY MY CREW SHOUTED “MAN OVERBOARD MAN OVERBOARD”😂😂so funny but ya I climbed back onto the boat je. Eventually we could see ubin and we were so happy we’re gonna make it back. OUT OF NOWHERE ANOTHER STORM HIT US WHAT IN THE WORLD. We started paddling like crazy again and everyone just kept pushing and pushing but the weather was just against us. It was even worse and we were all in the blind. Our instructors received info that a giant vessel was heading in our direction also. What was supposed to be a fun ocean joy ride turned out to be a real life emergency. Again the instructors hooked us onto thier motorboat and they pulled all of us aside. Guess what happened next, a loud horn could be heard and this HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SILHOUETTE OF A SHIP appeared omg.
We watched as the ship went pass us. Imagined if we had continued paddling in that kind of weather, we would have all capsized. We reached OBS camp and again everything was so kecoh. The rain was pouring and everyone helped to pull the boats up to shore. What a day. Eventually everything will come to and end and so did my OBS camp. It was kinda sad not gonna lie because yes 90% of us hated the camp but it definitely did have lots of memorable and enjoyable incidents. I know I complained a lot at the top but we did have a lot of self thinking and reflective moments too. We would have daily night sessions with our instructors where they would tell us what we did well and what we didn’t. How could we have done things better and what are the things a leader should do. I really learnt a lot from the trip on how to be a better leader and how I would like to lead my men. Alhamdullilah I survived OBS. I skipped out on a lot of things but if I were to type them all down then nobody would be reading this hahaa. If you’ve come this far, thank you for reading. I’m back at HQ now gonna sleep. Feels good to be back on a bed heh good night!

Ugh P.10 [Peter Parker] [Soulmate AU]
Tumblr media
Pairing: Peter Parker x Female!Reader
Warnings: Cursing, more angst, mentions of pain etc
A/N: Gif not mine <3 Yikes! This took way too damn long. Also, if I forgot to tag you, I’m sorry! People ask in different ways (msgs, asks, replies), and I have trouble keeping track! The best way to ask to be tagged is through an ask. I tag my asks with ‘taglist tracking’ and go through them as I update. We’re nearing the end babes! There may be one or two more parts </3 Also- I am not a doctor, forgive any mistakes I make. I tried doing research.
Part 9, Masterlist
------
‘C’mon Peter. Do it, you have to do it.’, he thought to himself.
He had to. He had to turn you over- had to see your face, even if it was for one last time. He was crying and he didn’t even care- hot tears spilled out of his eyes from beneath the mask. His emotions were going insane, but he was physically silent. Everyone was. The attacker was down, and you weren’t moving. They all heard the shot- they’d all screamed, but no one saw where you were hit exactly. There was so much blood- too much to be just a graze, right? God- he didn’t want to do this. He really truly didn’t want to do this- how had today gone so wrong? Everything went so smoothly at first. He was able to think clearly for a few hours, he was able to not ache so much over you and you- you were safe just hours ago. Hours- and yet, within seconds, shit hit the fan.
You didn’t deserve this- why had this happened? Why would you ever do that? Hadn’t you lectured him about being careful- about how easily you could lose him? So what the fuck was this?
Why was he losing you? Like this- of all ways to have to lose you, why did it have to be like this?
Sirens going off in the distance told him that he had to be quick. It was now or never. He had to see- he had to know. He couldn’t feel any pain- and he couldn’t be sure if it was because you were gone or because you were in too much shock to feel anything yet.
With trembling fingers and choppy breaths, he turned you over, a raw gasp escaping him as he did.
“Oh god..”
--------
Everything was black for the moment. You felt nothing- heard nothing. Your world was eerily silent.
Was this what death was like? Were you dead? God- maybe you shouldn’t have done that- maybe you should have let him leave. He had to feel your absence by now- had to feel empty and alone. This wasn’t supposed to happen! You were going to find a way- you were going to find some means of telling him what he needed to know. He had to know that you were wrong- that this wasn’t some mistake on the universe’s part. Yeah- it took him damn near dying for you to see that, but you saw it. You saw how wrong you were and now you were dead. You would never get to tell that yeah, you would always be scared, but you weren’t going to leave him. You’d bare the pain he carried and would lift him when the world started to break him down. Now he’d have to do it all alone.
Peter Parker was going to have to live alone- grieving for a soulmate he never got the chance to love or even know. He’d have to live with the bitter knowledge that his soulmate was so scared of the life he lead that she refused to stay- but threw herself at danger and got herself killed. She was terrified of losing him- of dying from the dangerous life he was going to lead- but she left him by doing the same thing he did daily. She threw her own life on the line for the sake of others. For the petrified people in the coffee shop- for the old lady who didn’t deserve to be robbed, for all of them.
You think it’s a tragic end to what should’ve been a beautiful story. You think it’s wrong and unfair- why does he deserve this? Why do you? Why-
‘Oh good fucking hell- ow- what is that?’, you think to yourself. You feel a searing white hot pain somewhere on your body. You still can’t see, and so you don’t know where it is. It feels like your head. It feels like one side of it is on fire- and by god you want it to stop. It hurt like nothing you’ve ever felt before- and you weren’t even sure if it was yours. Weren’t you dead- or was this hell? Your own personal hell- one in which you’d feel a pain so severe you wished you could die a second time to be rid of it? Was such a thing even-
“Th-There’s so much blood- but I feel her.”, a voice whispered. It sounded familiar but you were in too much pain to recall.
“Spider-Man- you have to leave- the police are coming! An ambulance too!”
“I just have to know-”
“Look! Her chests moving, she’s okay! Thank you for-”
The voices cut off as you completely blacked out. Either from shock or the pain of your head- you were swallowed up by blackness again.
----------
Beeping.
Something was beeping and it was really annoying. You could also swear you smelled bleach- it wasn’t too strong though. It was just there, lingering. The pain you’d felt before was gone, not entirely though. The side of your head still pulsed faintly with a dull ache. It just throbbed for now, but you were sure it would soon get worse. With your luck so far, why wouldn’t it?
With a small grunt, you blinked open your eyes, taking in your surroundings. A monitor was at your side, tracking your vitals. You were in a hospital bed- but you were still in the clothes you’d worn to school. Your fingers had a little bit of caked blood on them- you hoped it wasn’t your own. However, when your hands gently reached up to touch the part of your head that had been hurting, you figured it probably was your own. For one, it stung a little when you touched it- but that was because there was a bandage on your head that you pressed into your skin. You looked for something reflective- something to be able to see yourself in.
So you were alive? You didn’t die- but surely you had to have right? His gun was right in your face- no one survived a gunshot like that- at least not without some sort of life-altering brain damage. Yet here you were, propped up on a hospital bed, breathing. Hell- what time was it? Did your parents know-
Oh.
He was here.
Here- sitting in that chair, staring at you like a deer caught in headlights. He must have heard you wake up. The room itself was dim, so you didn’t notice his figure at first. It must be really late- didn’t that mean visiting hours must be over? As glad as you were to see him, you couldn’t help but wonder why your parents weren’t here. Shouldn’t they be? You’d been shot-
His head snapped towards the door- then back to you. ‘Be right back.’, he mouthed before ducking out the open window of your hospital room.
You wanted to call out to him, but a soft gasp stopped you. A nurse had come in and saw that you were now awake. She explained that you weren’t expected to wake until morning, your body needing to rest after it’s shock. Also pain meds- those kinda made you drowsy or, they were supposed to. You were wide awake, and she kindly explained to you what had happened. A bullet grazed the side of your head and because of the fear you’d been feeling at the moment it happened, your brain sent your body into shock. You were then rushed to the hospital and treated accordingly. The graze made a gash that had to be stitched- they also had to shave a little of your hair to do so. Now, you had a bandage around your head and some pain medication should you need it. It was four in the morning and your parents wanted to see you, but they weren’t allowed until morning.
After she told you all you needed to know and answered the questions you had, she made sure you were okay and went off to see other patients.
Soon enough, he slipped back into your room through your window.
And then there were two..

For the last 25 years, Transsolar KlimaEngineering has been developing innovative energy and building concepts. Over time, these concepts have evolved significantly - to meet current standards, to integrate developments in building automation, and to benefit from innovations in building technology. Many tools, with which our engineers evaluate their creative solutions, have changed over the years. Some have been added; others replaced. However, TRNSYS - a program for thermodynamic simulation – has remained our loyal companion for our entire history. It has been continuously developed by Transsolar, in partnership with Thermal Energy System Specialists (TESS) and Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment (CSTB, Scientific and Technical Centre for Building). In fact, it evolves concurrently with its users’ needs. Trnsys development has not been a one-way flow of information. Rather, it is a symbiotic relationship in which simulation results prove the feasibility and performance of concepts, and the software is improved and validated based on feedback from on-going projects. We are pleased to announce that the newest version, TRNSYS 18, is now available. Here is a shortlist of new features: Daylight simulations are integrated with building thermal calculations; additional comfort calculations according to ASHRAE 55 are possible; parameter studies can be set up and run with a graphical user interface.
We are also celebrating a new member of the TRNSYS product family: TRNLizard, a free plug-in in the Rhino-Grasshoppper environment (Robert McNeel & Associates). With this step, our modeling capabilities are augmented; new components - for example, for control, heating, cooling, ventilation - can be easily modified and added.  TRNLizard is open-source and relies on the cooperation of a large and active community. We invite you to be part of it.

Can you also explain Phil's tweet that keeps going around about something important he should have been doing? I joined hockey too late to understand that but everyone freaks out over it
*Rolls up sleeves* It Is Time, Children, For Another Story About Phil Kessel, A Stanely Cup Champion.
OKAY SO. THIS STARTS A BIT BEFORE THE SUMMER OF 2016, when the nations of the United States, Canada, Europe (?), North America (we’ll get to them later), Sweden, The Czech Republic, and Finland, chose their rosters for the World Cup of Hockey. The WCH is a tournament that happens, as far as I can tell, whenever the fuck Canada feels like hosting it. When Team USA chose their roster, Head Coach John “Tortellini” “Stupid Idiot” “Has A Massive Hardon For Miracle On Ice Level Narrative Content” Tortorella went for “Big guys with grit and strength” over “Guys who know how to make plays and score.” Essentially, he bypassed players like Phil Kessel and Alex Galchenyuk in favor of players you’ve never heard of because they’re fourth liners from, like, Arizona. KEEP IN MIND that this is an INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENT. The USA will be playing against teams STACKED with strong players. Their rival, Canada, has Crosby and Toews, two of the best players in the NHL right now. Russia has Malkin, Ovechkin, and just about any other menacing guy you can think of. 
“John ‘Tortellini’ ‘Stupid Idiot’ ‘HAMHFMOILNC’ Tortorella,” you may say, “Why are you making bad roster choices that will essentially guarantee the United States of America humiliation on the international stage?”
Well, young grasshoppper, it’s because he’s a Stupid Idiot. 
Now that we’ve gotten the ~~~Exposition~~~ out of the way, back to The Tweet ™. 
Phil Kessel (A Stanley Cup Champion), who has had a fantastic season and isn’t Gravely Injured despite leading the playoffs in scoring, gets to watch the World Cup Of Hockey from his couch. With his dog, Stella (A Stanley Pup Champion). That means that Phil Kessel (A Stanley Cup Champion) gets to watch Team USA get McFreakin’ Murdered by Canada, Russia, Europe, and the Czech Republic. After watching Team USA’s final elimination game, Phil Kessel (A Stanley Cup Champion) tweeted the following:
Just sitting around the house tonight w my dog. Felt like I should be doing something important, but couldn’t put my finger on it.
Hockey Twitter–nay, the hockey WORLD–exploded. This was PRIME SASS CONTENT. This was FUCKING BRUTAL. Team USA players and coaches had to officially comment on this tweet in official interviews. They were collectively Quite Unhappy about it. It was seen as a slight against Team USA’s players. 
This was decidedly not the case. Phil Kessel (A Stanley Cup Champion) isn’t shit talking Team USA’s players. He’s calling out John “Tortellini” “Stupid Idiot” “HAMHFMOILNC” Tortorella for making coaching and roster decisions that were guaranteed to humiliate USA Hockey on the international stage. 
And looking at Team USA’s record during the World Cup of Hockey, Phil Kessel (A Stanley Cup Champion) was fucking right.
