haha. last week was super slack. tat is how army shld be la. and that's the way i like it, being the slacker that i am :)) well. today is monday. have the day off due to the fact that i was participating in NDP as a performer.

Mon- Wed
Commanders' Training. so basically we slack in bunk for 3 days, venturing out only for meals or some other saikang that we need to do. otherwise we wld jus stay in bunk and relax. nothing much to comment cept that i think that the upper management is bias towards our platoon coz of some incidents and ya, somehow we always get pick at. wat to do. we are the most "garang" most xiong platoon in the entire 41st SAR.

Thurs.
Start of our Armour Training. quite fun i muz say. haha. esp loading OVM (on-vehicle materials) and the mounting and dismounting. but the bionix is pretty hot. as there is onli 2 fans inside. had guard duty on thurs and i muz say it is the most xiong of all the guard duty that i had. haha. had my virgin turn out (which was not really a turn out since we had warning) and my virgin guard mounting. but did it with fun ppl so of coz guard duty is fun. did guard duty with yo pin and we went to prowl around the area. talk alot of cock along the way. and ya. can say gotta knw yo pin better despite the fact that we are from different platoons.

Fri
our battalion had a run at marina, esplanade there. haha and as expected i didnt go. coz i was guard duty. lucky shits man. :P so today was practically a off for me. jus finish guard duty then can go home already. dun need to go run and sweat it out. but then still i went down to look for my plt mates and we went to makan. imagine travelling down frm Yew Tee all the way to city hall. *shudders.

met up with some of my plt mates for lunch. initially was suppose to go eat at Muthu's Curry. but it was close. so we opted to go eat at Pepper Lunch instead. aft that, we splitted ourselves to 2 grps. 1 grp headed hm while the other went to arcade. i join the latter btw :P haha. after playin arcade, went to do some shopping by myself. hmmm. elly's birthday coming up. been planning to make a gift for her but ya. cnt seem to find wat i was looking for. may have to think of another alternative.

that night itself jus stay home and rot since i have to book back into camp the following day for NDP.

Sat
Whole day involved in NDP. yeah. would be on tv for a few seconds. suppose to represent Armour thru the Bionix II and it was suppose to showcase the swift and decisiveness of our armour vechicles.

we were at Marina Bay the whole day doing rehearsals. haha and as our vehicle drove past a lot of ppl pointed and took photos. well, it was really a feeling that you dun get often. haha almost feel like a celeb. towards the end as we were driving out after the final rehearsal. the performers that were gathered there started cheering for us and as i was standing on top of the vehicle i really felt like waving back :)) haha. but cant be help too if the feeling that we are like animals on parade in the zoo surfaces as the crowd jus adore upon us :P

ya. and on the actual day itself, cheryl would be there among the crowd. so i guess that would be extra motivation to participate in this segment even though i was not really that willing initially. really wanna put up a good show for her. :))

next saturday and many saturdays to come would be the same too. saturday being reserved for rehearsals and hopefully the monday would be a off for us :)) but then the thing is that next friday night have to book in unlike last week whereby we book in on saturday morning itself. ZZZ. sianxation lo.

the moment the rehearsal ended we headed straight back to camp and kerk was nice enuf to fetch us down to AMK since we are still going to the same place. went to meet alvin after i hit amk. sit down there at the mac near his house and talk kok with him for a few hours before i headed home to sleep.

Sun
haha. wat do u expect? i jus stay home and slack the whole day.

Mon
Let me see. went out to watch a movie "deathproof". went for haircut coz tmr is RSM parade. and i think the stupid barber cut my short hair way shorter. look kinda wierd now i think.

bookin in soon. hope this is a short and fun week. :))

been a rather xiong week last week with alot of activities back to back. wanna die. so darn shag. but nvm. at least it's officially over. no more Infantry Training alr!!! yayness.

Mon
Section Live Firing. it was over before we even knw it. was quite fun yet scary as we were given live rounds to shoot whilst movin at section level. and the risk of shooting your own section mate is there and i must say that alot of trust between the individuals are involved. but heng, nothing happen.

Tues- Wed
Move outfield again for our final exercise. Platoon Summex at Sugei Gedong. i simply hate that place. mosquitoes infested. haha. it was very tiring as we were on alert the moment we got off the bus. bashing is really tiring. go up, go down. go straight thru plants and trees etc. 1 word to describe- Siong!!! but it was totally enjoyable. esp the missions. basically that was wat we did for the 2 days. which more or less sums up our Infantry Training.

Thurs-Fri
Slack and rest. nothing much to say. jus that we had lots of time to rest.

Sat
Platoon Live Firing. wheee. this is really danger man. no cover at all and with ppl running in front of you whilst u are shooting. haha. amazing no one got shot at all. had the jitters coz i was afraid of shootin my partner beside me. but ya. we did manage to space out so there is quite a low possibility that i wld shoot him or vice versa. whole thing was quite fun, the only thing that spoilt it was the rain. sucks man. hate being wet. haha. ya. i am bitching and complaining. lol.

Sun
Book out before first light. then going back in again today. went to catch Fantastic 4 with tham and ying yi @ cathy. haha. and finally i bought the crumpler bag that i wanted. whoopie. guess would be having leave next thurs and friday. but sians. got guard duty next thurs. so means gotta book in. sianxation

that's all for now. haha. wait till i update my slack week next week. yayness.

another week have past, and another week towards my ORD. time simply passes fast. in a blink of an eye 6 months have past and i am one-quarter done with my national service. next year this time i would be relaxing and preparing for my long awaited ORD :))

it was a tiring and frustrating week for me. was told on friday itself that i have guard duty on saturday. how irritating can it get. and i was quite dulan about it. had plans that night with elly and gang. had to cut it short so that i can book back into camp for guard duty the following day. so for another week i had a very short weekend. and finally, next week would round up my Infantry Section Training!!! No More Fieldcamps!!! ain't that a good thing? :))

next week is going to be a very siong week. with alot of activities back to back.

Mon- Section Live Firing. Tues-Thurs- Platoon Summex. Fri-Rest. Sat- Platoon Live Firing.

Mon
Commander's Training. so it was a rather slack day for us. jus hang around in camp and slack ard. nothing much to mention too jus that i had a lot of sleep :))

Tues- Thurs
Headed outfield to Mandai for our Plt Infantry Training. the campsite was quite crowded with others besides us. and even though the training that we had over the 3 days was plain XIONG. it was very fun and enjoyable. it was like Medal Of Honor or Call of Duty realife. totally rocks totally fun. going to do it again this week.....for the last time......

we slept under the dark skies and you could see stars and the shiny moon. except for the last nite where we were under attack by ants, sleeping outside was really a very wonderful experience. coolin and when u wake up morning mist on u.

Fri
Truly a slack day. woke up at 7. went down for breakfast. then later go up slack. had games day. played soccer. haha that was more or less wat happen that day in camp. i was off in the afternoon. took off to go collect my A lvl Cert. must say that they give it in a very nice cover. the things that they wrote inside too doesnt make it sound like you? then before i book out, my PS dropped a bombshell on me. Guard Duty on Saturday. seriously how fuck up can it get? informing you so super last min. jus the day before you book out and on the days when u have plans. asshole man. anyways i was not going to let that spoil my days and my plan.

book out, collect my cert and i slack at home for a while before i headed off to meet elly, ter and dom for dinner. couldnt join them at pub coz i was suppose to book in. met them at Raffles City at 7pm then we waited for seats at Sushi Teh. before that i went to check out that crumpler bag that i was eyeing. and yes, i am going to buy it when i have nights off this friday :)) then going to do a little modification.

the setting at sushi teh was very cosy. very nice. and the same could be said about the food. had a king's meal that night. yummy!!! after the meal, it was nearly book in time. so it was with sadness that i left them.sob sob.

Sat
Guard Duty for the whole day. what more could be said? except tat i had lots of fun coz the ppl doing were fun :))

anyways. dun knw wat i am typing here too. very sleepy. very shag. shall sleep early in camp tonite.

Sunday, June 03, 2007

it had been a very short week last this week due to the public hol on thurs and the fact tat my battlion was having block leave. :)) but then all these was kinda undone as i had to do guard duty yesterday splitting my hols into 2. i have to book in again tonite but at a much later time.

Mon- Wed
these 3 days were practically spent outfield at Pasir Lebar Camp where we stayed in a so called "chalet" for 3 days. well, it was jus the FIBUA site that we kinda converted into our makeshift house for the 3 days. over the 3 days we had a SUMMEX exercise for our Infantry Section Training and guess wat, my section under Sgt Tong Meng came in the Best Section :)) it was really a satisfyin end to a rather slack outfield. after that on wed, we headed back to clean arms and to book out. upon which i proceeded for dinner and a movie with dom at AMK Hub. caught Shrek 3. was kinda nice and funny. though the storyline was quite predictable.

Thurs
basically nua at home for the whole day before going out for yet another movie with Alvin, Wl, Merv and John in the evening. went to catch Zodiac. i must say that the movie though lack action made up for it thru its slow unvielling of the plot and the characters and we get to have a more indepth understanding of the characters. ooh. and yes, i saw Mr Tuang over at PS when i was at the ATM drawing money.

Fri
slept till noon coz i was really darn shag and straight away shower and change before heading out to meet elly at bugis for dinner. haha. was suppose to meet her at 4 and Her Royal Princess arrived royally late at 5plus. not that i am complaining or wat. *winkx* yeah, and we were suppose to be eating at Fish &Co and somehow after walking in circles around Bugis. we jus cant find it. so in the end we decided to settle for Sakae Sushi again (maybe she din realise. haha. but everytime when am out with her always happen to be eating that :X) and ya, she was down at bugis coz she wanted to change her album cover for SHE. and yes, there so many ppl lining up to change that the ppl jus surronded the perimeter of half of bugis. madness.

over at Sakae, had dinner and chatted whilst i listen to her tell me stories about her sec school life. haha. it was really quite funny, some of the stories that she tell. and ya, would be looking forward ta more of it in the future. :)) after eatin, and seeing that there was still so many ppl, we decide to go shoppin......at Cold Storage. there was this particular section that was selling Jap Food in there and she was like browsing thru it fervently. bought quite a lot of stuffs from there too. haha. and i bought this 99% Cocoa Choc for her, would be waiting to get feedback from her as to how it taste like.

after that we headed up to see if there was alot of ppl and to her amazment, the ppl were nearly gone. so she faster went to change and in the end, she got wat she came for :)) she changed the Selina cover, though i think the Hebe one is cuter :X haha.

but all fun times muz come to an end. after that we walk around a bit before i have to go, coz i have to book in for guard duty :(( sadden.

Sat
whole day doin guard duty, nothing much to be said.

i think i am like having insomia for the past few days man. alot of things on my mind. jus that i cant really seem to find an answer and a s...
