Normal weekend again......................

For this week in camp for me was all abt SOC as i pass my close combat training for the advance course which i attended the previous 2 weeks on monday. Anyway, for the rest of the week, i was concentrating on passing my SOC test on friday. In the end, friday came and i still fail the SOC test. Anyway, it is like a rock which fell after i had taken the test. I was stressed the whole week by it lol. Ya, glad that it was over anyway though i failed. Also this week, the foreigners came to our camp. Though i wasn't quite involved with them except went to butt setting for their live firing last saturday. The good thing is i was not involved in saturday's event and did not burn my weekend this week. So as usual, i book out on a friday nite. For weekend this week, saturday actually wanted to go out with my sec friends first but did not happen. Second, wanted to go visit my grandma with my cousin also did not happen. So i called ah kiong in the afternoon, asking whether want to go out. Then he suggested for us to go to the new cineplex in bugis which just opened on friday. So we first decided to meet at 5pm and he ask me to get kenny too. Abt 4pm, he mgs me telling me he cannot make it and ask me to go ahead with kenny. So in the end, met up with kenny at the new shopping mall for the $6 per movie in the new cineplex. Met up with kenny at abt 5.30pm in the end, afterwards went to buy the movie tickets at the top level. We then found the offer for the $6 movie is till 10 april. After buying the tickets, went to walk around the new shopping mall. Nothing much as most shops had not open yet. One of the few shops we walk into is 'comics connection'. Look for new NDS games which i like but only found pokemon platinum at $55. The cheapest price i saw was at jurong point $54 for that game. Anyway, after that went to 7-11 to buy drinks for the movie. After buying the drinks, luckily we went in earlier for the movie, cause the movie started 2 mins after the timing. Forgot to mention the movie we watched is Dragonball. Quite a short movie with great graphics and action packed. Went to look for dinner in bugis junction first, no luck for KFC there. So we decided to go to the bigger KFC opposite bugis junction. We then had our dinner there. After dinner, went to look for games shop in bugis junction to no avail. Lastly, decided to go sim lim square to look for the games. At that time is already abt 9pm lol. By the time, we reach sim lim square, 90% of the shops was already closed. After that, decided to go home as we had nothing to do lol. Today going back camp, same routine applies. Ya, the good news is i rec'd the sp enrolment package telling to go enrol for the course. A lot of things to be done but the problem is i am struck with the online enrolment. Looks like i will be entering poly this year. Happy i guess, wish is finally coming true! Looking forward to the long weekend next week, booking out on wednesday night. Thursday will be a busy day as i look to settle my poly enrolment before actual enrolment day on friday in sp.

Back to normal weekend again........................

It is back to the normal 5 day working week in army for the few of my remaining months in national service. Anyway, the brunei army is coming to our camp this week for an exchange. Something like a bilateral relations thing between countries. Anyway, i am involved in it somehow. They will be staying in our camp in our company's care for the 8-10 days i guess. After this, i can say most of my army days are almost over, just that i am still not able to pass my SOC which is something to do with my combat fitness i guess. It bothers me somehow as i will be stress by the fact that i will not be able to attend poly lessons as regularly as my army friends that had pass SOC and enrolled for this year's intake as well. This is due to SOC which i am not able to clear this till now. There will be training here and there for me to pass so i am still scared and so how stressed. Anyway, i hope to pass it before the school term starts or else i will be very tired for the months to come till i finally ORD i guess. Ok, enough abt army. Anyway, it will be over very soon once april reaches. For the 2 days weekend for me, friday went to my friend's place in bukit panjang to settle for poly's application stuffs in the morning and got free tickets for wild wild wet for 3 from my friend, then went back camp to take so mock grading thing which i need to clear in the afternoon. After that, book out and then go home. On the way home, i was thinking who to invite to enjoy the free tickets for saturday which is yesterday. In the end, i decided i would ask 2 of my army friends( chen long and junming). So met them yesterday for wild wild wet. We supposed to meet at 1pm. In the end, i met up with chen long first at abt 1.45pm. Then, we went for lunch first as junming was coming late and he asked us to eat first. After that, we met up with junming at abt 2.30pm and bought drinks in NTUC before heading to wild wild wet. We reach at at 3.15pm. By the time, we went in and change to our swimming attire. It was abt 4pm lol! Yesterday, it is the first time for the 3 of us in wild wild wet as we did not go before. The 3 of us think the place is a total waste of money if the tickets were not free as the place was not very exciting as i thought it would be with limited things to do. Somemore, we met with bad weather at the timing we were playing. Anyway, in the end we played abt 1 hour in the place only lol! We came out abt 5.30pm after changing as the weather was already very bad. After that, chen long needed to go home for dinner and junming meeting his friends for movie so we separated at abt 6.15pm. Then i went to meet kenny, ah kiong and his cousin at pastamania to collect my dvds from him. After that, we separate after they finished eating. I reach home and bathe. That's almost the end of the day after i ate dinner at abt 9pm. Today going back camp lol, same routine for the normal book in day. Update again, bye!!!!

2 weeks since my last entry..........................

Abt the last 2 weeks, the first week for me is a long break after my last outfield which ends 1 day earlier which is a saturday(8/3) when we return to our unit to clean our rifles in the morning. First thing i did when i return, we went back to our bunk to clean up ourselves leaving some of us behind to look after the weapons we left on the ground floor. I bathe and eat cup noodles before heading back down to clean my rifle and the rest of the heavy weapons. Abt the cleaning part, it is as usual for my platoon as the same few stayed behind to clean the heavy weapons. Anyway, all of our weapons were clean and return by abt 4pm that day. The good news is we were allowed to book out on the next day which is a sunday morning. Anyway, on saturday, it is no lunch and dinner for us so i went on for mac delivery for lunch and dinner it was KFC. I thought i spent quite a lot that day. Anyway, it was all worthwhile as it can be treated as a celebration for our last outfield we were having. Sunday morning,we successfully book out and i went straight home. After that, i got a mgs from ah kiong and we met in the afternoon at chinatown and went to the flea market there. Actually supposed to meet yiqi but heard she sprain her ankle so she did not meet us. After that, we went to plaza singapura where we watch the movie 'push' and after that went for dinner before going home. For monday, it was a day off for us in army. So i went out with my army friends, 7 of them, we met up at novena square at different times as the original timing change from 1pm to before 2.30pm as the organiser check and found out the buffet starts only from 2.45pm. I reach quite early abt 1pm as i rec'd the mgs late, that time i already on the way liao. Anyway, we starting eating abt 3pm when the things we order came. The buffet consists of things listed in the buffet menu, some of them are paos, dumplings, soups, ngoh hiang, fried rice, mee goreng and etc. i would recommend this buffet as it is very filling for those people who are very hungry and the price is around the same or cheaper by a bit i would say. After we felt we had enough, we left te restaurant and just to walk around the shopping mall as most of us were very bloated at the point of time and we walk abt to digest faster ba. After a while, we feel quite ok and decided to head to AMK to watch a movie. We decided to watch 'Kung fu chef' which features only in Cathay cinemas so we went AMK. While waiting for the movie to start in abt 1 hour, we went to the games arcade next to the cinema. Before the movie, we still went to NTUC to buy drinks and snacks for some of us. Anyway, after watching the movie we went home as most of us were still feeling full from the buffet in the afternoon. On tuesday, went out with ah kiong and yiqi. First, we met up with each other at ngee ann city and saw lijin for a while as kiong got things to pass her. After that, went for lunch. We then headed to marina square where the 3 of us spent over $100 on soft toys. That day, we were all mad lol! Anyway, i seriously think it is a waste of money. Anyway, we spent most of our time there that day. After that, we went home. On wednesday nite, i went back camp for the Close combat training which i miss the other time. I book out again on friday. Yesterday went out to jb with ah kiong and kenny. First time since 2 months ago, we bought dvds and ate kfc for dinner. First time i went to the new jb customs office, i thought the new office was posh and nice but the roads leading to it is not convient at all. It is also messy lol! I change $50 and spent most of it on the dvds i guess. Ya, that day also eat marybrown which is a chicken fast food restaurant for the first time. A lot of first times again huh, long time never had lol! Haha!!! Today is the same routine as it is time to book in again.

Busy..............................................

Been busy since january i guess. Anyway, last week did not blog cause lots of thing happen in camp. Exercises here and there. Burning weekends one after the other, finally the last major outfield which is ATEC stage 2 is here. Happening next week, though going to burn weekend again. Army sucks right? Going to ORD, yet it seems there's still a lot of things to do. This weekend is so-called long as i returned home on thursday night cause friday is a off day for my company. Abt this weekend, friday as planned by one of my army friends, we met up at abt 11.30am as we decided to eat macdonalds' at northpoint. In the end, some people were late so we started eating lunch from 12 noon and when everyone were finally there and finish our meals. We left northpoint and then we headed to our place for bowling which is SAFRA yishun. We reach the place at 1.30pm. The sad thing is we found out the bowling facility is booked until 3.30pm for an event. So we walked around SAFRA to look for other things to do. In the end , we went from the games arcade to the pool room and played pool for 1 hour over at SAFRA while hoping there will be places for bowling after 3.30pm. Gods knows,we found out other people booked all the slots after 4pm lol. In the end, we again went looking around SAFRA for things to do. After a long while, we decided to walk out of SAFRA since there is nothing much to do and we also wanted to save time. When we reach the outside, we decided that most of us wanted bowling so we looked for another place and while we walked, we saw a street directory board and showed us another bowling place which is orchid country club. We saw and thought it was nearby so decided to navigate there. Though it is a long walk, we eventually reach the place at abt 4pm. Another scare for us as we thought there's an event BUT it turn out the different schools are training for the upcoming bowling competition next week. Anyway, we managed to book a place for us to bowl. We bowl for 2 games and each lasted abt 1 hour. First game i got the lowest score of 62 points only. It was a bad, bad first game for me. i improve a lot for my second game as i got 98 points, thanks to a strike and a few spares. First time got a strike, i was so happy. After that, decided it was enough and we went back to yishun MRT station after taking a free shuttle bus. We separated from there as chen long went home first, followed by james. The rest of us went on to meet another group of my army friends at bugis and had dinner there. After dinner, went home with one of my army friends as we live in the same area. That's friday! Saturday went out with 2 of my ite friends. We met at abt 3pm and actually wanted to watch movie but there was too many people so we drop the idea and we went to eat lunch first as i had not eaten. Actually, also waited for another friend to come. She came at 4plus and we shopped around as we didn't know what to do. In the end, started playing machines picking up soft toys and i wasted a total of $30. It was a total waste of money i thought. Anyway, i only managed to get a green mickey mouse soft toy. It seemed so stupid and i doubt i will ever played the machine again. Yesterday really was a crazy day for us, after dinner, the two of them continued playing and we stayed at the place until 10.30pm before heading home. Sunday is today. Normal thing, just that went hougang mall with my family to have lunch there. Next week sucks as i am not able to return until 10 march when i come back after SOC training and the night going back camp. Sucks right? See you guys in 2 weeks!!!!
