Updating time after 2 weeks.....................

Another 2 weeks since i updated, cause last week was doing guard duty on sunday so only spent 1 night at home. Short weekend but managed to skip all the SOC training last week. The first one skipped because of the guard duty on sunday, second one on wednesday morning cause of the rain. The thursday training was skipped cause i book out on wednesday nite for my off day on thursday itself. I had a long weekend ending today as i book out on wednesday nite. Today, the break finally end with me going back camp tonite. i book in 1 day later instead of sunday cause of aan advance off given by OC as on Hari raya i will be in the field and burn so i will still be booking out on friday this week. Anyway, the long weekend always ended faster as times really fly when you are outside camp. Anyway, last thursday and friday spent it with my family. Saturday, went out with ah kiong to watch 'connected' the movie. After that, went to walk abt orchard road before going to meet calvin and lijin for dinner at nite. Had dinner at hk cafe and talk while having dinner before leaving at abt 11pm. Sunday was spent at my grandma's house as it is the day to celebrate her birthday. Well spent day as we got to interact with cousins and relatives we seldom seen for quite some time. Of course, the nite ended with the first ever night race in the world in singapore which my family went to watch at home on TV. From 7.30pm to 10.30pm, the start till the end, it is a thrilling and entertaining race throughout the 3 hours. Ya, that's all about my weekend i guess. Today, book in day again, as per normal, spent the day home. Nothing much for now, just worry abt SOC training as i had not been training for close to 2 weeks. SOC training will resume this week i guess. Doubt whether my leg will be able to take the impact from the high jump from the low ramp. Let's see ba will depends on the position i am in that day. Happy ending to my guard duty for a while. I hope i will not get any weekends guard duty for october. Really hope so. Nothing for now! See you guys again!!!

Things this week.......................

I will start this with monday's combat shoot at nee soon camp's 100m range. The shoot was not bad with my perfect score of 8/8, even though 1 shot was give away as the target went down itself. It's just day shoot so we return in the afternoon after all of us shoot finish. Anyway, after that, we went back to our camp to eat our lunch and clean our weapon. After cleaning, went to prepare for the field camp on tues and wednesday. On tuesday morning , went for the brief for this field camp. Then, afternoon, move out for the short field camp. Throughout, this short field camp, our section was deployed as enemy so as to train the other sections from the different platoons. We came back at wednesday afternoon and same clean our weapons to a 100% and were told the good news of having nights' out that very night. So in the end, we went for it and were told to return by 11pm that very night. For thursday, it is book out day because of bloc leave for the company on friday after just SOC training in the morning and in the afternoon, it is revision for the heli-borne ops for this tuesday live run. For me, it is another nights out as i got guard duty that friday. So for this week, i had 2 days of nights' out for me. Anyway, went out with 1 of my army friend that 2 nights' out. First one at choa chu kang Lot 1 and second one at bukit panjang plaza. I just continue having a lot of leave and offs unclear i guess. Anyway, i will have time to clear them before the year end ba. Saturday, went out to orchard lido with ah kiong to see any movies we could watch. Found nothing so went to walk around in orchard area before evening where we decided to go chinatown to the cd shops over there. We then had our dinner at kfc over there. After that, traded pokemon to my pearl version so that he could restart his diamond version to replay. Anyway, we went home quite late as we finished trading. Lucky for him, he was able to get the last bus 190 before the bus went away. I reach yesterday at 12.30am. That's all! Nothing much for this week i guess......................

2 weeks of events to blog abt..........................

It's been 2 weeks since my last blog. Anyway, last last week was a short week for me as i had guard duty on sat(30 aug). Supposed to be a long weekend as friday, my company book out at abt 4pm. Since i had guard duty on saturday, it became a nights out for me. Nevertheless, i went home to put the dirty clothes that were needed to be washed as there was a field camp that week and the uniform was super dirty from that outfield training. Anyway, went home that friday and reach at abt 5.30pm. Just rested and put the dirty clothes and watch some parts of a drama series before i went out at 6.30pm and back to camp for the guard duty the next day.Before that, i went to lot 1 to meet ah kiong for dinner and pass him the olympics glass from mcdonalds that i collected for him that night! It is that rush. Anyway, that week didn't get a chance to sleep on my bed at home, kinda of sian, Huh! Ya, saturday guard duty.The guard duty only highlight was me doing sentry for the first time in months and that night we order canadian pizza for our supper. It came at abt 9.30pm where we were preparing for the staff parade at abt 10pm for the duty personnel in the camp. During guard duty's rest time, planned for a meeting with my cousin as my brother's cathay voucher expired on the sunday itself. So on sunday, after i book out, went straight home. On the way home, my cousin called as he needed to use my computer as his computer broke down and he has some army stuffs to settle online. So in the end, we met at my home instead of the cinema where we would watch the movie. So in the end, i reach home abt 11am. Felt hungry while waiting for him to arrive so went opposite to pack back food for me and my mother. After i reach home, i saw my cousin already as he arrive. So he use my computer to do his stuffs while i waited for him. Waited and waited till i fell asleep as i was too tired from the guard duty that saturday. After he finish, he woke me up and we discuss abt where we would be watching the movie. Saw all the movie timings, in the end, decided to watch death race as my cousin still had to rush to buy things from the IT fair(COMEX) that day.I brought all the things that need for camp as i know i would not be coming back home and would be heading to camp after that day ended. The movie we watch at the Cathay beside plaza singapura. After the movie ended, went to COMEX and search for the things my cousin wanted. He finish buying his things at abt 6.20pm before we parted our ways as i needed to reach camp by 9.00pm. So i decided to take 700A to bukit panjang to have my dinner over there before going back camp that nite.
Abt the week just passed, it is a simple week which kick off with the combat shoot on a monday where SAF is giving 2nd year soldiers like us $200 if we got marksman(80% of the target) as a section for the shoot. Anyway, the day shoot left us with abt 79% as 2 persons out of 6 persons results pull us down with us needing 1 shot to hit the target of marksman. However, there were still chances as there is a night shoot. As the day drawn to a close, came night. Nite shoot for was a nightmare as it perishes our hope for the money due to 1 person getting only 3 shots out of the possible 20. After that monday, the rest of the week, tuesday morning was SOC training following that was cleanning of our rifles. Wednesday also cleaning arms. Thursday done guard duty again. Though friday was a book out day but also filled with surprises as an external body wanted to check our rifles and vehicles for their servicevility. Due to this, we book out late at abt 8pm. Ok, enough with the events in camp. Weekend for this week, yesterday went out with ah kiong to kallang leisure mall which is near the national stadium. After that, went to plaza singapura to look at new dramas and walking around. After close to 8pm, walk down to TAKA to look for lijin and calvin. Bought yiqi's present and then to dinner at cathay cineleisure. Went to eat pastamania before going to heeren to HMV to look at movies and songs. Parted at abt 11pm, reach home abt 12.30am ba. Today is going back camp day, nothing much, same routine i guess. So far it is like this..................... Wait for the next update!!!!!!!!!!
