This week.........................................

It is a normal and peaceful week in camp as we prepared for next week's outfield training of 4 days and 3 nights. Anyway, nothing much really happen. We had OC parade on tuesday and found out that OC like parades like this and told us, he would try to plan every month to have one much to everyone's dismay as we will need to prepare our smartest uniform to wear for every month then. Anyway, as soldiers esp. NSFs, we don't really like parades. Since it is a normal week without much training, there's a stand by bed that week by one of the platoon sergeants. Don't know is reason for that But anyway. Nothing much i guess he just wanted to check and wanted us to pack our cupboards. Ya, this week, my 84mm section of 5 men book out on a saturday early morning at a 7am as we had live firing of the GPMG which is a multi-shot machine gun. Most of us were very sian as we couldn't book out on friday after the live firing as instructed by our company 2IC to clean arms after we came back at abt 1.30am. That day, i slept at a 3am and slept only less than 4 hours. I reach home on saturday morning at 9am after eating mcdonalds' breakfast opposite my house. Reach home, bathe and sleep for abt 2 hours before waking up and went for lunch at abt 2plus. So what's for the rest of yesterday? I went and met up with my secondary friends at vivocity at abt 5pm. We had dinner and chit-chatted till abt 9pm before going home. So it is a short weekend for me this week. Anyway, today going to book in again. Same routine for today i guess. Just that the thought of outfield training next week sucks. It is not a short one lol. Looking forward to a long weekend next week as leave is planned for us. Will be struggling just to pass this week's training i guess. Definitely would be tough i guess. See you guys next update! BYE!!!!

ATEC stage 1 week......................

It is ATEC stage 1 week in camp for me this week. Anyway, i wasn't much involve except helping out in the stores on the first day of ATEC which is tuesday. By the end of the week, on thursday night, we got the results of ATEC stage 1 which is the best record any unit would have had which is Redcon 1. The top band of the so-called exam of my ns life. Anyway, although i was not really involved in stage 1. Now moving on to stage 2 where the whole unit would be involved one way or another. This would be the outfield exam for us, a very different kind of exam where it would test esp. the commanders and troopers in the battalion for fighting a group of trained enemies in the field. Abt these, i would very much be involved in it during start of march which is the first week. The overall exam for a unit like mine. But before that, starting of january, we will start doing our outfield practice for the march final exam. The tough training will get going in gear to it's max again. But before next year starts, i will be having a 4 days 3 nights field camp during the last week of november this month. Anyway, after that i will be enjoying during the month of december. Hopefully, this last week of this month will pass quickly as it will be hell to me. Ok, moving on to this so-called long weekend that i had spent. Thursday night book out, after that, went home as friday night having battalion annual dinner and half leave was taken from us. In the morning of friday went to my specialist appointment at AH. Nothing much as i should have recovered, just a normal appointment i guess. Shouldn't have any appointments i guess if my ankle problem does not come back. After that, went home in the afternoon to rest for the night where i travel back to the west in jurong east where the dinner is held at CHERVONS again. No different from last year i guess, just that the food sucks more this year. Had lucky draw but didn't win anything as usual. After that, went home. Saturday, went to watch high school musical 3 at tiong bahru plaza with ah kiong. Met for lunch at 3 plus before the movie which was screened at abt 4.30pm. After that, walk around before heading to marina to see the food and electronics fair at suntec city. Reach suntec city abt 6.45pm, went for the food and electronics fair, after that went to walk at the book fair as well at level 6. Nothing much after that, because abt 8.30pm lol. Went to TS to look at cds before we spilt for home. Update again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Normal week..............................

This week in camp, it was abt victory challenge and a mock test for ATEC stage 1. From monday, the victory challenge started and ended off with a champions' challenge on thursday. Our company lose by a margin as explain by our OC after the results was announced. Anyway, we still had nights' out on that very night. We still have everything to gain anyway. Seems like i spent a lot this weekend lol. Thursday night spent, friday also spent! Not mentioning yesterday, had buffet dinner at sakura in orchard road which spent 30 dollars that night, just for the dinner alone. Anyway, close to abt 60 dollars for one weekend huh. Isn't this expensive weekend for me? Ya, anyway abt yesterday before meeting calvin and lijin in the night. Ah kiong and i went to jb to watch the latest 007 movie in the afternoon since we had limited time as we had to meet calvin and lijin in the night. The movie was not too bad with action almost in every scene. Abt the yesterday night, we were talking and eating until the very end as usual. I sort of started to get in the atmosphere and talk a lot of 'true' things abt myself i guess. Anyway, all of us had a good laugh because of me. Cause who are i? The Great LYC! Haha! Anyway, in my heart, i always tell myself no other guys are more handsome than me and i really felt so. Ya, although this might sound like a joke but it is really a confidence booster for me to do things ba! I think now maybe some people might think i am really thick-skin .But anyway, let's see how it goes in the future ba. Haha! Sometimes, being a bit thick-skin, isn't too bad after all. i think maybe i learned this by a friend of mine named 'LIJIN'. Haha! thanks a lot. Different people, different character But when they mixed together for some time, they will have some similar characteristics in some form ba! Haha, praising yourself up to the sky sometimes, is a wondeful feeling! So happy yesterday, well spent time with my friends. Got to love it! Today, normal routine resumes! Got to go for lunch now. Further updates next week!!!!!

This week............................

Next week is back to 5-day normal work week after the long deepvali weekend. Anyway, this week a bit stress cause last week to practice for my upcoming test for my heavy weapon that i am using and specialised in. Next week is the mock test and after that week will be the actual thing for my unit already. I am a bit scared cause if the testers ask me to do. And if i stumble, it will affect the whole unit's results. Anyway, that's this week. It is over. Don't feel like thinking so much. This week also got night's out, first in a month i guess. Anyway, to my weekend i guess. This weekend is so packed i think. On saturday, met 2 groups of friends. In the morning, went to jb with friends for a malaysia trip where we bought dvds and ate pizza hut over. We left for singapore abt 2pm and i went straight to marina square from woodlands bus interchange by taking bus 960. It was a long trip and i got to rest and slept on the bus. When i reach there, all my sec friends had reach. Anyway, we then discuss and watch the movie named 'REC'. It is a movie in spanish and to me, the movie just sucks. I thought it didn't look like a movie and is a waste of money lol. Anyway, we came out after the movie and hang out talking and catching up with one another. After we went home and i reach home abt 10.30pm. Slept abt 11.30pm before waking early for sunday which is today where i met up with 2 of my army friends at east coast park. Supposed to meet at 9am, although i was a bit late but i am still the earliest lol. Anyway, we then rent bicycles and skates. 2 of us with bicycles and 1 with the skates. We rented for 2 hours and after that went for lunch before leaving for home at abt 1pm. One of friends followed me in taking shuttle bus to sengkang before we leave fro different places. i reach home at abt 2pm today and rested for 1 hour 30 mins before i was woken up by a friend mgs. Then i play FIFA 07 till 6.30pm before typing this blog. That's all folk. Time is rushing me!!! BYE!!!!!!
