Ok, back to this week's long weekend. I started with booking out on wednesday afternoon abt 4pm. Proceeded to wait for ah q at CCK lot 1 shopping mall, while me, junming, james and chen long decided to eat kfc there. While i waited for ah q, i asked the rest of them to go eat in the kfc first. Anyway, we reach abt 5pm, then i started waiting for ah q till abt 5.20pm before he reach. Then, we head to kfc and rejoin the rest of them at kfc. When we reach, the rest had almost finished their food. Ah q and i then went to eat at kfc while we all had sort of a get togther session and talk while eat. After that, we went home.

As it was still early, we went to walk around bugis street before buying drinks nearby. After that, went to watch the movie at 6.35pm. I found out changes of the new cinema as i went for the third week in a row. The aircon was less cold with the movie starting later then the time shown.

Long weekend that started from wednesday nite book out....................

Talking abt last week, it was a short week for us in camp following the departure of the visitors in our camp on tuesday morning. In the afternoon, we had a briefing regarding the change of command parade for our Officer commanding. The actual day which was 1 day after the briefing on wednesday evening as we were told. Anyway, our CSM planned it seriously and was in sort of a foul mood that wednesday morning on we started on our rehearsal for the parade. On wednesday morning itself was a bad start as he broke his CSM's stick while shouting and scolding us for wasting time organising ourselves. Anyway, after that, we started our rehearsals from 10am. In the start was ok, but the second rehearsal was quite a disaster while we were marching stationary to a halt. After that, we practise for a few times before getting it right. Then, it was lunch and everyone was tired. After lunch, my platoon started bringing down the table and chairs from our bunk. After that done, we were all resting in the bunk waiting for the parade to start at abt 4.45pm where we would fall in. When the time arrives, the weather was not giving any face to the change of command parade for our outgoing officer in command. So we were put to a poll by our CSM whether to continue the parade or stick with the wet weather program. In the end, most people feel we should wait for the rain to stop to continue the parade though i didn't voted for the parade. Anyway, at abt 6.15pm, the rain answered most of the people's prayers and we were called for the parade. The parade started almost as soon as possible as it still look like it will still rain. Anyway, in the middle of the parade, it really rain with thunder and lightning but we still continue with the parade. In the rain, although it is 1 of the few times this happened. But it make the parade felt more memorable and meanful as it continued. This marks the last parade for my officer in command. Anyway, after that, we had a 'special' dinner in the courtyard and a lot of photographs were taken here and there as it marks his last day in our unit. After that, we packed up a bit and book out to enjoy this long weekend. This long weekend, i did quite a lot of things. First on thursday morning, went to settle my poly fees, online pre enrolment and the medical checkup which the poly requires for my admission. After that in the afternoon, went to meet my army friends for a movie in the bugis new cinema. Met chen long abt 3.30pm before heading to buy tickets for the new jackie chan movie. We bought the movie tickets for 5.25pm as one of them reached abt 4pm. After that, went to eat lunch. Ok then, we walk and explored around the new mall. Went to comics connection and chen long bought a 5x5 rubik's cube to play. When it was almost time, we went 7-11 to buy drinks before heading to watch the movie. After the movie, went to walk around bugis looking for food eventually heading to the temp food market to have our dinner. After that, the last thing before going home was to go to the bugis arcade to see people play. For friday, i started also in the early morning and meet kok tong at abt 8am for enrolment in singapore poly. We reach at abt 9am and started doing the enrolment. We finished everything at abt 9.45am. After that, decided to go vivocity. While in the MRT, i thought of going to a place near vivo which i hadn't been too which is Mount Faber. We then decided it was still early for lunch and went for a long walk in the park at Mount Faber. At the hill, we went and we explore most of the things in the park until we were very tired. We exited the park vie canopy walk in alexander and took a bus back to vivocity to look for lunch. We then decided to eat pizza hut at harbourfront centre. Reach there very tired and hungry, service sucks in the restaurant. Maybe because it didn't have enough staff. Anyway, still had our lunch there and order for student value meal with our newly made student card. The meal was a dollar cheaper with free flow of pepsi. The meal was quite filling. After that, we went our separate ways as i went home first as the morning was over. For the evening, i met up with 2 of my sec friends at abt 6pm for movie again at the new bugis cinema. This was the second time in the week i went to the same cinema. This time though the movie i most don't want to watch but was force to was a horror movie titled 'The Unborn'. We watch the 6.25pm movie and it ended almost abt 8pm. After that, went for dinner at an indian restaurant in beach road. It was not the last of the things for that night anyway. We then went to the esplande where we spent time catching up and talking abt things. We stayed there till abt 1am before we went home. Ok, to yesterday's events then! Abt yesterday, went out also but later. Met up with my ite friends ,2 of them, we watch movie also in bugis but this time in bugis junction. The movie is 'Knowing' started at 5pm and ended at 7pm. After that, we went around in bugis junction to look for letter covers for the letter as ah kiong needed to post a letter. Found it and went on to the post office in brash besar complex for him to post it. After that, went for dinner at a coffeeshop nearby.
