A bit different for this weekend.................

Suppose to be a bit packed this weekend but......... Ya, anyway today suppose to meet up with my sec friends but i mgs him in the morning and ask him. He reply with a wait. So i waited and waited cause normally we would go out quite late anyway. So in the end waited till i went for lunch and continued waiting until i got tired and went to took a nap till 7plus. In the end, i realise i was not going out after all. A bit sian but long time since i met up with them. I guess i wasted 1 of my weekend. Should had got to my grandma's today. Anyway, going to grandma's place with my cousin tomo and straight after back to camp after this so-called long deepavali weekend. So typing this blog today instead of the usual booking in day. That's why this post is named this way. Also been 1 month since i went to visit my grandma, it's high time i guess. I guess i am quite looking forward to it ba. As for yesterday, went out with ah kiong and kenny where we watch '20th century boys' movie at GV vivocity. Also a long time since i watch movie there. Therefore, i suggested to watch it there. At first, supposed to be watching painted skin BUT kenny didn't want to watch it so we changed the movie. Before that, we met up at chinatown to eat and walk about. For this week in camp, gone outfield for most of the week. Either to help in the stores or as enemies to support the training as the different platoons went outfield for the various days. So sian lol, actually this thing is also planned for us last minute and actually only my 84mm section was arrow instead of my platoon. I feel it was so unfair for us as things were arranged so last minute like just few days before the outfield. And only 84mm section was asked to help out in the stores but the platoon. Anyway, life's never fair! Not different from outside i guess, life is always the same, hard to be fair. Army even worse, sometimes they don even try to make things fairer. Conclusion for this statement is army really sucks, it sucks among the 3 national service offered for us. See you guys again!!! Haha!!!

A week starting for weapons training till nov............

A month long training had started for me after a long weekend. i went back to camp on monday nite. Tuesday started on my month long training for my specialised weapon till mid nov where i might be tested for the various tests of the weapon. Anyway, i was quite stress for this week ba, although it is the first week, i am also feeling the stress. It is like the stress when taking exams but it is in practical form only. Anyway, now my bunk started having problems after the heli-borne live task till now. Luckily it is only minority not the majority. Anyway, 2 of them are having a cold war sort of thing going on i guess. It's been almost a month since. i guess it should last until someone does something abt it. I hope not i guess. Anyway, i just don want to care so much. Anyway, my platoon always have problems ever since i was posted in. It is just that the problems was not surfaced out only. This week's major happening is our CSM gone mad on thursday morning and check us on our hair and area cleaning and demanded us to do it every morning. He wants to check now every morning and evening until he is sastify. Therefore, we are having an inspection on monday morning and as well for this week. i wonder when he will stop.That's why i say this is a stress week for me. i guess this is the week in camp ba. Glad that SOC training only lasting until 10 nov which is next month. I guess should be able to endure ba although it is tough. As for weekend, it is a normal saturday and sunday only. Nothing much, just got to meet ah kiong yesterday to watch movie butterfly lovers and in the night met lijin after her work. Her boyfriend, calvin was doing guard duty so didn't see him yesterday night. Anyway, on friday, she mgs ah kiong saying she will be bored for the weekend because of that boyfriend reason i guess. Anyway, met up at abt 8pm, took a bus to plaza singapura where we had dinner at pastamania and walk around there after that. A normal weekend i guess. Nothing much happen, back to the normal routine i guess. 2 days of weekend is just so short, is it? Anyway, recently i guess i been having a lot of long weekend ba, until when it is normal weekend of 2 days, i would feel rather bored and feel that 'sian' feeling all around me. Huh, looking forward to the next long weekend. Army also so sian and sucks. 8 more long months to get out of the cycle. Been wanting to get out of this camp from BMT lol. Update again! Bye folks!

Long weekend for me from last thursday till today!

Ok, for the past week i had a long weekend as stated from my title of this blog. Anyway, it is a short week for me in camp. 3 days only, in these 3 days, the only training is on tuesday which is our first SOC test for us in our second year as soldiers. Besides that, monday i went out to a live range to help out the stores, in the end become sentry as there was no one else to do it! Wednesday was a book out day with easy activity with games and nothing in the afternoon. We book out in the nite to enjoy our long weekend ahead this past week which i had spent. So fast, it is monday already. Long weekend had ended for me as it is book in already and back to camp tonite. Abt the long weekend, thursday went JB with my friends to buy dvds and eat pizza hut. After that, went back to singapore at abt 3.30pm. Then went to causeway point to walk around before we decided to go airport to walk for our first time in terminal 3 since it open. Walk about, i felt that T3 has much more shopping places than T1 or T2. Ate our dinner at popeye's fast food before we went back home. 1 of my friends then followed me home as he wanted to watch a drama which i have. After i reach home, lend him the disc. Then later he went home. That was end of thursday. For friday, spent most of the day at home before evening came where there was a bbq for my HQ platoon for the first time so i went for it. Actually on that day, it is also my PC of previous platoon which is 6. His birthday celebration was at Novena where they having steamboat for his celebration. But i sort of rejected it as HQ was having this bbq for the first time. Anyway, that night's BBQ was a normal one i guess, just a gathering for the HQ platoon. Nothing much except i drank beer and vodka that very night for the very first time since my overseas attachment which is last year. It seems like drinking beer, liquor or wines for me is a yearly affair. Anyway, for me, drinking all these is for socialising only. I think my drinking for these is actually not very good as i don't hold out for long. That night, i came home, rested a while before i actually dragged my body to a bed. After a short while, i was knocked out. So drunk i guess. Anyway, before i knocked out, i was so hot and found out my whole body was so red. I guess that's the reason i knocked out that night ba. Anyway, drinking is not good. Huh! The next morning i wake up early as i was hungry, woke up at abt 5am and went for early breakfast that saturday. My mother accompany me and i decided to have macdonald's opposite. My mother had the new wasabi fish burger meal while i had hotcakes meal. Finish breakfast and reach home abt 6.15am. After that, went to bathe and watch dramas on dvd till abt 9am before feeling tired to catch a nap until abt 11am before i wake up and continued watching my drama. At abt 2pm, went for my lunch with my mother. Decided to go to hougang bus interchange to eat at the foodcourt. Had fishball noodles over there before we went to NTUC in hougang mall to walk before heading home and resuming watching my drama. Until abt 7.30pm, went for dinner with my mother again, third time in a day. So basically, the whole of saturday is spent with my mother. Hardly had this time with my mother, especially on a whole saturday. Anyway, not too bad to spent time with her either. After all, she's my favourite parent among both. On to sunday, went out with ah kiong for the second time this week after the jb trip. We went to bugis and met up abt 2.35pm. He was looking for his care bears to collect. After that, went to suntec city to catch the movie house bunny. After that, he receive a mgs from kenny to meet up at causeway point for our dvds. We travelled from marina to woodlands in bus 960, it took abt 1h30mins before we finally reach causeway point. An incident that happen in bus when it is at bukit panjang was the back door was spoilt and some of the commuters was not very happy and some even slam the spoilt door open in order to get out of the bus. The funny thing is that sometimes, the door is ok but sometimes it is spoilt. Anyway, i had my dinner there at the foodcourt before each of us headed home at abt 10pm yesterday. For today, book in day for me. The same routine as before i will stay home and prepare. Nothing much. So long for this long weekend i guess. Back to army lol! Sian!

The outfield week with SOC training before that.........

This week, finally had my first SOC training for quite a while since i skipped a lot of the training recently. Anyway, last tuesday SOC training was relax with the 1.5km run with LBV load and 5 sets of 3 obstacles training. Quite ok performance for me for the first SOC training in a while. Anyway, wednesday started outfield training for the whole battalion, it's been a while since the whole battalion went outfield together. Anyway, this was quite a relax outfield training as it is just river crossing for the armoured vehicles and for us to do the practical part for the lesson we learn in camp as we got to practice. Throughout the whole exercise, we were in the vehicle, first time did not mount the vehicle at all. Also for my old commanders, their last outfield. As they handed over their duties and prepare to clear their offs and leaves before they finally ORD in second week of november. They brought quite a lot of good stuffs to eat. They seem to be enjoying this very moment as their last outfield. My last outfield seem so far as compare to them. Long way to go i guess. We were enjoying more than complaining for this last outfield. Anyway, the next one i know will definitely be a tough one for me. Anyway, came back on friday midnite and start cleaning arms for myself. Anyway, was very tiring as i got sick for the first time for outfield. Slept at abt 3.45am that day. Slept all the way until 9.30am that friday before cleaning my 84mm gun which i finish cleaning before lunch. After lunch, since i was so tired and sick, went up to bunk and sleep till 5pm before heading for dinner and on to book out at abt 9pm. Anyway, weekend was good. Saturday went out in the afternoon to watch eagle eye with ah kiong which started from 4.30pm and ended abt 6.30pm. After that, took a bus to orchard road to meet calvin first before meeting up with yiqi and boyfriend, after kelly and eventually lijin came to look for us while we met to eat seoul garden that night. Had a fun time cooking food and eating food, i think that night, i eat lots of prawns and chicken. Anyway, got time to catch up with one another is always good. Enjoyable time that night filled with jokes and laughter. I think everyone was enjoying, great night! Haha! Gatherings always so enjoying, always like and will always be. Today, nothing much, very much the same for every sunday i guess. Booking in lol! See you guys again next week!!
