Going soon....

Going to book in liao..... abit sian... not well... no choice.... my friend comfirmed with me that he needs to go to the university to comfirm his application or something..... so i comfirm have to go le...

In my section... i am doing it with my buddy.... he's those type abit slack one.... then i don't click as well with him....

Seriously... if there is teh right click of people there.... it would help me in being more willing to do the guard duty....

But well... like i got a choice...

Oh well.... heck.... just go ba.....

Coming back again next Saturday....

Short book out~~~

Well... today is going to be a short book out for me.... booking in tonight by 2245 at the ferry terminal....

You know why?

Because i am doing guard duty.... tomorrow morning... till the morning after the next....

Not because i did anything wrong... nor was i chosen for it.... but simply... i did it for a friend~~~
(Sounds quite wei da right?)
My section mate.... he was chosen for this guard duty because he brought his handphone to the grenade range.... but he got some university stuffs to attend to during the book out.... so he was frantically finding a replacement in our bunk yesterday night....
My section... got a few do before le.... some booking out early... some got stuffs to attend to too... some don't want....
And since i am like the only one without anything on... parents not at home also... so in bunk or at home is about the same... just that of course home more comfortable lar....

After thinking for awhile... i do lor... since nobody want to do.......

And yar.... that's why~~~

Anyway.... it's actually a blessing in disguise... those guard duty personnels need not attend the CO's parade on monday morning.... so i no need to prepare my smartest four, or polish my boots very shiny... when the rest are at attention... we will be sleeping~~~~
And monday night is the CO's evening... so basically we wake up to enjoy~~~~

Not bad huh?
And i seem to get alot of my platoon mates' respect.... becuase it not very often that people are willing to sarcrifice their weekend just like that....
Oh well.... of course i wouldn't want to lar.... but because of the situation... then ... aiya... i do lor....

And so in this short bookout... don't want to waste much time blogging... just briefly summarise what i have done so far....

Went for my 16km route march le( doing 24km next tuesday)... threw the live grenade liao..... it was not as powerful as i thought it would be... maybe see too many movies le.... passed my IPPT le.... pull-up and SBJ cost me my silver.... but never mind... at least got pass... and this morning was my Game's Day....

I was in the Drill Squad.... and i am proud to say.... we have won the competition out of 6 companies.... and so we got a one day off... but the day off is credited to our block leave... so the Drill Squad people got 1 extra leave more than the rest....
That was the only good news.... our company tied last place with Eagle company... the other items like all cock up like that....
But who cares... the event i am in won~~~ haha....
Anyway.. i would say it was quite an achievement.... we only knew around 1 hour before the competition starts that we cannot have a timer... and all along we practised with a timer... so it was quite a challenge to try to get our act together without timing...

Oh yar... one more exciting news... we will be performing on our POP... LIKE NOT COOL~~~
"Sei" man... all the parents and members of the 5 companies watch our drill squad of 30 people perform..... it would be so cool man~~~ ( That's unless we don't cock up...)

Guess that's about it le... still need to do my appraisal form..... sian....
T.E.= $2 (for hair cut... and the uncle is a very rude idiot.....)

Tired... yet again....

Well... just came back from my 2nd confinement in my BMTC.... all thanks to the Defence minister....

From what we were told... there are 2 confinements in our syllabus... and so this is the 2nd confinement we are going through... and you know why?
Because the intial BMTC plan was to have a 3 week confinement at the start.... but the BMTC people decide to propose a 2 week one... not so long ma.... then the defence minister say ok lor.... but add another 2 weeks confinement plan into the syllabus... soa s to let us be mroe detached from home....

Although it wasn't much of a problem for me... my hp battery was a problem... especially when i have to arrange for a meeting at college.. with kai kian, kiat loong and jun kok... because we are all going to get our long- deserved service award.... which... is suppose to be given out during College Day... but because of some mistake in the administration... we didn't get it... and so Mr Goh smsed me about it... and i immediately arrange a meeting on the very day i book out....

Well.. at least finally i got it... a medal and a certificate.... very grateful for that...
That was also a reason that contributed to me not going for college day.... because of the service award....

Anyway... abit lazy to blog le... quite tired liao.... the main aim of this blog... is to let everyone know i am still alive~~~~
And fighthing fit.... with some knee problems... but should be ok with it...

Oh yar... broke my firing pin in my M16.... and i really have to idea how i did that... kena abit of "scolding" from the armskote sergeant... who threathened me about going to DB....
Basket... think i kid is it... if so easy go DB.. then alot of people going liao lor.... then all no need to go university le....
Anyway... i knew he was playing around with me on that... so just play along lor... at least he helped me to cover it up... got some replacement...then ok lor...

Well... "POP"ing on the 8th of june.... around 2 weeks left... most major events complete le.... Field Camp... SIT Test... left with SOC...IPPT (which i so far still fail... by 1 pull up....)...24 click Route march... and live grenade throwing...
Should be ok with everything... IPPT try to get a silver... increase chances of going OCS....

But actually hor... i am sort of still in dilemma about whether i want to go OCS or not....
that's a part of me that wants to go... get the bar..
But on the other hand.... after hearing experiences from friends... like KKK.... they sort of discourage us from going in... it is hell~~~~
So... well.... i abit want to go... also abit don't want to go....

Aiya.... heck.... leave it to fate lor.... can go then go... cannot go also never mind....

This morning went to HP court played basketball with the Senghou gang... against Alson's team... won 100-83.... contribute a few shots and rebounds.... but cannot perform well because my leg is still aching from the past few days of chionging.....
It's like everyday got 1 "xiong" thing.... started with the AGR.. then next day IPPT... then the following day speed training... and the following day... SOC......
Siao one lor... everything cram together.... my knee like going to give way liao...

Haiz.... heck lar... left this few weeks go chiong it all out le.....Qutie tired le.... think go get some rest.... trying to recover from the infamous stupid "Tekong Cough".....

Tired....

Just booked out yesterday... just finished 7 days of out-field camping... then booking in later....
Although the book out time not alot... but well... better than nothing... at least can eat some more "humane" food before going....

The field camp... on the whole... not bad lar..... just that hygience is definitely something you cannot expect.... and yar.... no shower for 7 days... just super powder bath and change of clothes... powder till the extend that you look like a snowman....

And combat rations... the general comment is that it sucks... but some do taste good... although some menu... once u open eat... don't feel like eating liao.... the smell turns you off....
Some of my favourite is the dumpling.. glutinous rice... and a tomato noodle stuff....
Well.. don't have much of a choice... either you eat... or you get hungry....

Spent most of yesterday cleaning all my field camp stuffs.... especially the uniforms... dirty like no body's business.... even pang seh my section mates for supper at Newton there... because wash the stuffs until super tired.... so abandoned them...
But seriously... i would want to go.... as i have told them.... so actually felt quite bad about it....
But really so tired lor.... what to do....
never mind ba....

Well.... think don't want to spent too much time blogging le... still got to go buy some stuffs for my 3 days "situational test" the day after tomorrow....
And yar... don't bother to call me out or anything... my this coming weekend is burnt... they say got lesson... army life....
Oh well... heck.... my next book out should be during the Vesak day week... not sure yet... see how lor.....

T.E. yesterday= $16

Slack day....

Today... did nothing much.. stayed home most of the time.... watch TV... play computer games...

Afternoon went to the army shop at Bedok to get some supplies for my field camp.... bought sine stuffs which i feel are useful....

foldable toothbrush - save space for field pack
rifle cleaning brush - the one they gave spoilt arleady... cannot clean the rifle barrel effectively
some vegetable oil made oil - can be used for decarbonsing rifle, and also for wounds and stuffs.... qutie useful.... so thought buy one for field camp better... ebcause my oil bottle no more oil... and they don't seem to want to let us refill the oil... abit strange... so i guess buy one bottle standby better....

that's about it... the rest of the stuffs i all got le.... so i guess i am quite prepared for the field camp le.... haha....

Go rest le... save some energy for field camp....
T.E. = $8.10

Booking in tomorrow at 1830..... in a way... i think it's good... because these few days of staying at home slacking kinda made me feel tired... stay in bunk better.... haha...
