short week.

Had quite a short week in camp this week, with only 4days spent in camp..

MON:

did guard duty with jeremy and jeffrey... ok.. we're the permanent J-Team for guard duty liao.. haha not bad.. and the next morning at rear gate lucky i neva meet Big Head LIM(the csm for the camp; we all call him Tua Tao Lim) lol... he usually books in thru rear gate and questions the guards and finds faults with them.. And threatens them with extra! :S sux la... haha..

TUE:
Guard rest! sshhhiokk la.. came back from guard at 9am and rested till lunch time(that means half day over :D)... den after lunch went to workout at gym for awhile with Andrew, Jeff and Desmond...

WED:
Did DI duty for the day... i was lucky today no need go safti do 'SK'(ask any army personnel wads SK and u'll get the ans.)... so woke up in the morning brought the men for breakfast den did area cleaning after that... went for lunch den got area cleaning (AGAIN!) but at the ground floor around the perimeter of our building... 'they' say it's to prevent the dengue cases from increasing.. ok lo.. jus do lor.. o_O

THUR:
With more than half of the batt booked out for their offs and leaves, today was considered most slack le... slpt late last nite and woke up late today.. :D shucks.. set alarm to wake up at 2.45am to watch Germany vs Turkey, but i tink i din even hear my watch n hp alarm sound offf.. too tired i guess.. slpt like a log.. went for gym den lunch den booked out for my medical appt at ttsh... after that walked around novena n square2 for awhile den bus-ed home.

3,4,5.

Wed & Thurs:

Sux. Heard last min news that we were going outfield on thurs and had to prepare all the stores n stuffs needed... Wads sian was that i was one of the few who need to do overnight sentry on wed for the stores which are gonna be sent to the camp where we do our deployment.. It was freakin hard to slp in the tonner la! even when sitting at the front seat with cushion, there wasn't any comfortable position to be in..

On the day of deployment, was quite excited and eager (at first) as this was the 1st time doing deployment with my men... but after one deployment plus camo-ing up the net plus the freakin hot sun above us, totally shagged out.. man.. that's when we realise we were lacking teamwork and communication.. (ok i cant actually expect perfect on the 1st time we go, but i guess the commanders need to shout more to motivate the men to work faster)...

Fri:
Booked out on thurs nite as we're supposed to have inter-bty run at East Coast Park on fri. Woke up early to go ecp, and saw Jeremy while walking towards the gathering point. Actually we cant find the gathering point so we went into Carl's junior to wait.. Ended up there was cat1 status and heavy rain... called the rest and they told us the run's canceled.. Swee La! lucky no need run cos i'm yet to recover from the pain on my feet since ytd's outfield.. the only sad thing was that the planning all gone to waste...(i guess they'll be holding it again someday? mayb in camp?!) haha..

Went watch CO camp concert at 4pm. This yr's choice of songs weren't as nice as i supposed them to be, as compared to previous years... and they planned the performers into 2 orchestras A n B... i dun tink it was a gd decision as it allows others to compare standards between the 2... but i guess the management's thinking is that they want to allow more ppl to get into the camp for more learning experience and interaction between schools.

After the concert i went ECP(again! haha so zun) for jc class bbq and gathering... hmmm... wasn't as fun as i thought with the usual common 2 topics that we talked about.. army stuffs and uni... but it's not strange i guess since it's wad we're all currently doing now... i spent most of the time listening instead of talking... didn't really had a gd topic to talk about... but still wan to thank CT for organising the bbq and preparations done. (:

LAzY.

I'm too lazy to blog. Here's a kung fu panda picture i've drawn during my COS duty ytd.. was so bored that i picked up the markers n scissors and did some art n craft... end up 'not bad' huh.. haha...

this Weekend.

SAT:

Went to bugis with weihao & dalston in the afternn for some shoppin n makan... was supposed to meet them at 4 but end up meetin up arnd 4.30 cos we got mixed up with the meeting location and oso got one Prudential promoter talked to me bout some advance savings plan... it was sth like they take out $75/mth and there'll be a 3% interest on it den until duno when i can take out... sounds like not bad mayb i'll give it a consideration. haha. after that got myself 2shirts n a watch... n after that went for dinner den go for SYCO concert.

I can say this yr's SYCO concert's awesome. They started with 将军令 and i tink the conductor did a very gd job for his 处理 of the song... and i like his conducting style.. the concert carried on with 2 other songs which i neva hear b4 but was quite nice. Then next was 丰年祭.. got abit blunder for the cello bow on guzheng part but overall was one of the better 丰年祭s that i heard b4..

2nd half of the concert got even better with 2 solos and Gada Meilin. The suona solo by Chang le was terrific la.. seriously.. i've neva seen so zai suona-cum-stage performance b4... comparable to SCO players.. after reading his profile den i knew it was a no wonder cos he's from a family of suona players from China. well.. another foreign talent. (: The guzheng solo piece by Yvonne was equally nice and oso majestic at the same time. It's my 1st time listening to Gada Meilin.. heard many ppl talkin bout how nice the song is and finally heard for it personally. Hope to train hard and get into SYCO end of this yr..

SUN:

Went for practice at cc as usual... lian wif the dizi section for a while and corrected some small mistakes like sitting postures and breathing properly. Today's practice wif them was better than last week's so.... Good! got improvement haha. Halfway while lian-ing wif them Boo asked me go teach 2 sec1 percussion 奋勇 and i nearly lost my voice speaking n counting beats to them in the noisy room.. both of them can make me vomit blood sia.. haha.. keep playing wrongly on the same bar lah.. but it's understandable cos they are sec1 la... after lunch was plainly anyhow la.. the group of us was exchanging instruments to play.. awhile play suona, awhile erhu, awhile cello, awhile yangqin... had fun though.. haha. B4 going home, played a round of bluff wif xiaotou they all... haha(our usual entertainment when we not lianing music at cc)..

ok thats all for the week.

QuOTe of ThE wEEk: You say it best, when you say nothing at all. (:

swEE la!

this week had been quite relaxed for camp life.. well, as compared to last week... although still on standby, but we still have some free time slots in between 1st, mid-day n last parades for ourselves... spent most of the free time resting and doing area cleaning and playing dekai's/jeff's guitar... come to think of area cleaning... i sometimes do want to change bunk to chuan xing's bed cos of area cleanliness in the spec bunk... cos it's always messy n in not-so-gd condition, as compared to the men's bunk... oh yah.. ytd was chuan xing's ORD! he came back camp to take pink IC! haha finally saw him after his long offs and leaves... a pity we not going to reservist tgt cos of different batches.. he's a wonderful storeman la... always tink bout our benefits(taking more drinks and nite snacks! haha)

Alrights! managed to get off for 26th... that means plus 27th off-in-lieu i'll have long weekend.. sweE la! plus this morning junyu told me next fri's gonna be halfday(due to best bty performance for ippt and a Good mob standby activation on thurs)... super swee! (although the next sat i got COS duty)...
