quite quickly, 2 weeks have passed since i first step into sungei gedong camp, 46 SAR. was excited about my new vocation, knowing that i'll never have to run on the battlefield and crawl in the jungles anymore, on top of that, being a tank operator had always been one of the vocation i wanted. in all, was quite pleased with how things surpirsing worked out.
used to think each tank ferry 2 pple - commander and the one operating it. but now i know it differ from tank to tank. sinapore's AMX13 SM1s is operated by 3 crew members - commander, gunner and driver. they say, we being gunner is the most imptortant person among these three because in war, gunner is the one who determines who dies first... i agree... so.. i think my job's quite challenging too. haha.. better than going to chiong here and there...
training's not too physical even though it still is.. (well army mah), so far it has mostly been all the technical stuff. an it will continue to be like this. quite intersting to learn these actually. eventhough infantry also learn about things like their specific weapons, we are unlike them in a sense that we learn a higher level of it. i recall father saying he wanted so badly to serve the army but was rejected cos he was PES F, and now he keeps oncomplaining he dun even know how to shoot a gun.. and guess what? haha... i learning to shoot one of the biggest guns... (artillery is bigger than mine lah... but they got no accuracy). lolx.
currently finished learning the signal set and the GPMG. both were equally... fun. haha. actually wrong word lah. hmm.. i dun think there are many vocations require knowledge of using the signal set, so being able to touch on that is quite lucky of me. the sergeants tell us that being a signaller is actually a big plus because these soldiers when they ORD, they are employed into companies like singtel. the job scope of a signaller enables him to uderstand the workings of communication systems very well... i think even mass comm students lose them in this area. as for the GPMG... hmm was an eye opener for me. everytime see rambo movies, wondering how his guns work. now, i know. haha. actually the design is not complicated, but the person who could think of it is really good. even the design of the chain of bullets, brillant! each of these GPMG is 10kg and rambo holds one in each hand.. siao one...given the recoil, i dun think is posiible lor...
anyway, things were fine until i lost one of the components in GPMG... the case is still not closed and i dunno what will happen to me.. haiz. it took 2 years to replace that component last time it was lost.. so it's considered wuite a big problem...
all the best to myself. can't write more now.. have to go le. tata~ next week...

last night was very scary... she just called me suddenly. over the phone can ear her cry loudy.. made me so worried. and i dun even know what happened. =/ but i know there is nothing in the world cannot be solved. =)
was playing FAIRYLAND halfway then... i waited patiently for her to reply, at least tell me she's alright. it was untimely... i just fleed from a battle and i am left with 10hp. i din dare to move any where cos i scared may meet up with another monster. so i was kinda trapped in this little house. waiting for hp to regain. so i left the computer on and went to lie on bed first. cos no mood to play le. when i finally recieved her reply saying she okay le, i was relieved... thereafter... fell asleep!
the next time that happened was me waking up, reading the computer clock "5.55am"... ARGH! aiyah.. waste electricity... lol.. but.. nah.. so i sat up and started playing FAIRYLAND again! haha...
all the while i play i suspect she's a wake... eventually at 745 i smsed her and confirmed my sixth sense =). but i was quite sad... cos i know she must be real tired. so asked her to come my place to sleep because her place got contsruction going on... =/
she came, sleep wake sleep wake sleep wake... erg!!!... qi si wo le! then dun want to sleep nvm... dun want to eat also!! haiz... so stubborn. in the end... FEVER! hmpf. now u better rest at home and rest WELL. dun so stubborn le. wo shi wei ni hao.
another day gone... another day closer to army camp...
oh yah... very farnie.. this one must say... was on my way home on MRT after sending her home. then sitting opposite is this japanese lady wearing tight-racer back-jersey with jeans under denims! lolx. and she never wear bra.. can see nipple so big sia... not my fault.. she sit opposite me. then beside her... got this really fat chinese lady also. so what's my point? see.. both were folding arms, but the japanese has her breast rested on the folded arms while the chinese rested her arms on her belly fats! can see the bulge position... keke~ oops... so bad...
