camp.

last sat & sun:
had to book in on sat evening to prepare for AHM fatigue work... suayz.. unit kena chosen... worse thing had to work throughout the night to prepare the stuffs.. den morning stand there be spotters for the ppl running(in case anybody needs medical attention we'll call for the medics).all the way from 5am to 9plus am. tired like siao. wads worse we had to keep the whole stretch, yes the whole stretch of barricades and send back to not our camp, but other unit's camp. and that is demoralising when u were told at 1st u do not need to do it but last min say u need to. o_O!!
mon: OFF!

tue:
did DI duty... and i freakin dashed my hopes of ord-ing without kena extra. details not worth knowing... but it's ok actually, since it cud have been a worse case if i dun help Kelvin take the extra, and since it's DI duty.. :) and thx to those who console me by saying "wads a specialist without extras?" ha ha.

wed & thur:
had super duper long meetings with bc,2ic,bsm discussing about us specs n them n bty issues n bty outfield sop. 2ic can hold meetings n talk n lose track of time one.. and that is.. zzz.

fri(today):
FrEaKiNg Busy can! one of the busiest COS duties i've ever gotten, even thou the rest of the bty got half day off after noon time. ate breakfast at 0530 n only got to eat my lunch at 1330.. nearly blacked out in the armskote sia... afternn still need keep going ops hub n qm n armskote n office... only after dinner den can finally relac...

This week in camp was quite short, yet busy, yet fulfilling...

Mon n Tue:
Had Acct trainings in mornings n afternns... only did revision, going thru the moves for thurs' grading test..

Wed:
Went to Gunhill for simple outfield training... thankfully i haven really forgotten much for the action front n cease firing... but i tink i need to recap myself for laying... Moved in over to another bunk to join AM, ZH n YS... hopefully i can manage to psycho them to work harder.. hahaz.. Ys's showing improvement (but the crapping neva seems to cease!).. Hope the others will give him a chance.. as fellow specs, we shud support each other.. right? Anw, thx to AM n YS for helping me shift my stuffs over! =)

Thurs:
Quite a tiring day with the Acct test in the afternn... we almost failed the test on the 1st go as aggressiveness wasn't present in all the moves.. after some lecturing.. we went hard n serious for the 2nd go and there's like super duper huge improvement la! haha.. Million thx to my buddy DK for volunteering to be my sparring partner!(he's the only one doing sparring for 2 times!).. Went for dota and i freakin lost 2 out of 2 games. ok. normal. -_-"

Fri:
Half day. Thought we had to go for live run today but ended up cancelled! wootS! went for soccer n bball.. the most fun part for soccer was the 'penalty-kick-aim-my-butt' (oops forgot wad u all call it)... hahaz... Did pmcs den book out!~

After dat met up with 'andra', b-duh n JN to go buy dizi n tuner.. walked to peninsula plaza to bras brasah to rochor centre to looked for the suitable one.. somemore under the drizzle.. tired. BUT managed to find one which was rather gd.. in tune and sounds bright. Lucky us. :) after dat i tried some E diao dizis.. i freakin need get a new n better E diao b4 the competition manz. The current one not really suitable for me. zzz.

guard duty.

this week's abit tiring, with one DI duty n one weekend guard duty and close combat training...

tink i strained my arm with the many slammings for the ACCT.. till now yet to recover.. zzzz... however it was actually quite fun to learn the various ways to self-defend and at the same time take down the attacker(if u can get somebody the same size as u to partner u. haha!)

ytd's my 'virgin' weekend guard and guard 2ic.. weekend guard is really eff-ed up man... especially doing guard 2ic or guard comd.. it's either physically or mentally stress... somemore got 2 Reservice Training slots(1 morning, 1 afternn) and we'll get freakin busy when the bulk of them book in arnd the same time, clogging up the area outside pass office to either change for camp pass or surrender camera hp... some of them freaking inconsiderate n no patience.. jus knock n rush us to hurry when we're alrdy super busy n cant handle more ppl until we finish with the current ones. Lucky got the duty RP.. haha.. he jus 'rudely'(actually righteously) shout back to the guy to wait, making him diam diam.. =D and and.. for guard 2ic, need at main gate for long hours.. can really shag out man..

haha... ordered mac during guard last nite.. been quite awhile since i actually eat a full upsized meal.. super bloated after that.. eat le den go power nap. sinfully-shiok!

Rushed down for prac at cc today despite guard ytd... was slightly contented with today's overall attendance.. can tell that some of the SLs are doing their job... was more contented with perc section as i can see the huge improvement.. ben's got a way with teaching them.. i guess.. =) practiced with tanbo yue for zhan song qu in the afternn. it's the 1st time they combine for this song. picked up quite fast, managed to finish the whole song, hope the next prac i can add in the perc instruments... shucks... next week got AHM cant go for prac... zzz.

shiok tonite no need book in... tml got medical appt... and next fri off! woots. =DDD

qUoTe Of tHe WEEk: i like your smiles. i'm carrying a torch for you, yet i do not know how to express it to you. Is it fear of rejection or is it lack of confidence or both?

NDP outing

Sat:
Went out with M.A.D, zhongming, sy n james to lau pa sat for dinner then managed to find a spot around the CBD area, with not so many ppl (somewhere opposite the floating platform) where we had quite a gd view at the fighter jets stunts and the fireworks... After that go jalan jalan at Suntec till 11plus... It's been quite awhile since i last went out with 'The Gang'.. did some catching-ups with them and had fun doing funny poses for the cameras.. :)

Sun:
Went down to cc as usual.. din really liked today's prac... boo only spent an hr for combines and we did only one song... not wholly his fault actually.. the strength of the orchestra is bad enough with near 20 ppl every week and most are sec1s.. seriously we need more players, if not i really cant imagine how we gonna do the concert in dec(which is like 3more mths away ONLY!)... oso.. got quite pissed today when someone(named ANDREA!) msged me that she thinks prac is boring so she left cc after passing sth to kr.. nearly wanted to scold her for her attitude but on a second thought, i realised i cant blame her for wad she thinks... since i personally oso feel the same way... haiz... sometimes i really feel like giving up my hopes for this orchestra... but somehow i guess its hard cos of my long 8yrs bond to the orchestra... haiz... 'walk one step see one step' bah.........

Off dayS!

Off days always rawks, especially for army personnel, when one can actually not be in camp, and even if the day is spent stoning n doing nothing at home, it still rawks, cos it's just the way it is.

Didn't do much things on thurs... whole morning playing com.. only till afternn den went for medical appt at ttsh..

Today's slightly better... spent half the afternn playing pool with andrew at PP.. learnt abit from the pro... haha.

qUOtE oF thE WEeK: There's no such thing as lousy; laziness is what makes one lousy.
