Dear Blog,

Hee... i am back. Long weekend. I am a lucky ass. Luckily PS gave me guard duty on friday, which was a blessing in disguise... well maybe not considering that i haven't been doing enough SOC. Anyway... had a good night rest... now all recharged... going to spend some quality time with myself. Some personal space.

Lots of things happened. Booked in last Sunday. Sit Test on Monday. Well... it is true that when you are shagged you cannot think. The whole week, i experienced that a few times. SHAGGED UNTIL CANNOT THINK RIGHT????!?! =p

Sit Test. Don't think that i performed well. Argh i don't know la. I did make some intelligent comments. I did make some realistic observations. And i did gave the solution which helped gave us our first and only successful station. But i wasn't vocal enough. When you are shagged, you move much slower. It is pretty amazing how people can be so naive and dumb. Well... maybe it is just the shagness. All the smart alecs will bomb their ideas and even before planning out everything, they started doing the step one. And going on and on until step four to find out that the whole thing doesn't work. I think i am the only person with enough sense of urgency in my detail. Either they are all too shagged(again) to do things quickly, or they are just born slow. Like hello, this is a scenario, a situation, the casulty is dying... and all of you are slowly tying your harness to yourself. The instructor already say in ten minutes, the helicopter will run out of fuel, and you all can still happily discuss on the method which obviously doesn't work. Yeah it's true that i don't have a workable method, but at least i know that method you all are discussing doesn't work. Whatever la. The first day day was damn xiong. The weather was totally... hot hot and hot. Luckily 2nd day after the fourth station there was CAT 1. So our 2nd day was cut short. Then during the peer appraisal, there was conspiracy among the platoon 3 people. Me la. And Chris and Zhihong. Haha... Was platoon IC... did nothing much... until we went back.

Stand by universe. SGT Ong wanted that. Because he was pissed. Pissed with i don't know who or what. I swear we all tried our best. At least i did. we clean up in the morning. He didn't state what time he wanted it. In the afternoon he hinted it again. So i had the whole platoon did a thorough cleanup again. They all did their job. The toilet cleaners clean the toilet a 2nd time. SGT Ong still didn't check. I was under lots stress, like what the hell... i had the whole platoon clean up and you still fucking don't want to check us. Later in the evening, SGT Ong said the check was at 8pm. Later on, PS said the Stand by universe was called off. Who am i to believe. I didn't hear that. But a few of them said got. At 1955, SGT Ong shouted up and said he's coming up in 5 minutes. WTF. If this is the way to play me, then... good for you. Actually i didn't believe it would be called off. But i didn't dare to ask the whole platoon, all 44 of us to clean up the whole bunk, corridor, toilet, SBO, helmet and every single fucking shit again. We had our "smartest four" parade before that, and everyone was shagged. True, if i am a better leader, i would had asked them all do the whole shit thing again. But i ain't. And before he came up, there was a bug infestation. You know those flies that are attracted to the light. Never seen so many of them at one time in my life before, and check out their sizes. Bigger than house flies. People were sweeping them out, creating dust and sand everywhere. Who had time to clean their own stuff? And when SGT Ong came up, he didn't check any of the SBOs or helmets. He only check for dust in the bunk... and something which most of us forgot... the interior of our wardrobe. I know it was my mistake. I should have made sure everyone clean every part, but the cleaning of the inside of the wardrobe slipped my mind. Kena kped. He asked me to wake up my fucking idea. =) Haha... I told him frankly, we cleaned the whole area thoroughly twice today already. He said he gave up on us already, but i don't he will. Enough on this.

IPPT Evaluation. Silver. =) Pleased. Didn't had to stay back for RT. Only 2 Golds. Yew Song and Eugene. Fucking fit. Josept missed Gold by 4 seconds for his 2.4. Choon Kit missed it by 10 seconds. I ran with Zhi Shen, because i wasn't confident. It was my 1st run in months. We paced each other well and surprisingly, it was a relaxed run for me. I guess the route marches and the field camp and everything had made us fitter.

Wilson took over me as IC. I think the SGTs just played a joke on him. They just want to whack him like mad. Then yesterday after guard duty, came back to find out that Kent took over.

Guard Duty. For losing my oil bottle. Did it with Choon Kit, Yew Song, Eugene, John and Gary on friday night. Some for losing tent pin, never bring range card, never bring water bottle, never guard properly never guns. We missed the first hand grenade lesson, and the next morning SOC. Guard duty is damn tiring. We sort of counted, and i think in the end, we walked more than 12 km in the end. Had some sort of parade at 10 and it was fun. I love doing drills la. Then there was a couple of turn-outs. My last shift was from 12 to 2 and it was damn draggy. Had to make 2 rounds around BMTC and the last round was mentally torturing. Luckily the dog from Foxtrot followed me and CK and we gave it some of our biscuits. CSM from Leopard was fishing at 2am in the morning. Slept from 2 plus until 5 plus before going back Coy line. Bathed and slept until the rest came back. Still shagged then. Area cleaning then booked out.

NUS interview. They asked me lots of current affairs questions. I didn't know interview is like that one. Was damn paiseh i don't even know who the minister of defence is. Asked me talk about the iraqi prisoners stuff. How the hell would i know when i was in camp and i just had time to glance at the article in bunk? Don't know la. Don't know what impression i gave. It was all very GP stuff. I think they only want to know if i can think. Hopefully they will accept me.

Mother's Day dinner. Went thomson there. Both sides of the family came. Sat with Janine and 3rd Aunty they all. Ate hell lot. I think cost for feeding me has gone up since i went tekong.

Thats all folks.

Yours,
Lah
