OKAY~... i'm quite stuck right now. i'm waiting. i'm wasting time. k. blog now. the problem with not bloggin for some time already is that i will forget when i stop and have to read my own blog to avoid repeating the same old stuff.... *reading in progress* *completed* hmm.. that's all? so little. k. posted at 1559, no wonder. rushing to prepare to set off. well today, going back earlier - leaving at 1800 - sian. because tomolo got BATALLION level excercise. hmm let me go into the jargon, in case after so long you are still blur about what i am toking. it also makes me make more sense. now... i'm in 46SAR, Singapore Amoured Regiment. 1 regiment = 3 batallion. 46 is 1 of the 3 batallion i'm in. so, i'm in 46. 1 batallion = 4 company (for amour), A, B, C, S for support. i'm in B, bronco. now, the biggest in 46 in CO. under him are 4 departments/people: S1, S2, S3, S4. S1 is manpower. and so on... then at the company level, the biggest is OC who has 4 PCs below him. every PC has a PS and 3 or more SCs (section commanders) or VCs (vehical commanders). lastly, the lowest being, me and my platoon mates. but i have a special identity: welfare rep. so i am also under S1. which makes me kind of higher, with more rights. now.. what happen in the past 2 weeks in quite closely related with my special identity. as a welfare rep i am suppose to go around the camp and find out what the men wants and then suggest to S1 in hope that more welfare will come by. besides that, it is also a direct arrow to make us do more things like organizing a concert for the people which is just what we did. CO insisted that there are lots of talents out there so he wanted to "give us a chance" to perform. but you know.. who will perform without incentives? so we suggested day-offs for those who participate. but... CO so relunctant and cannot come to terms. in the end only each performer $5 popular voucher. the concert was help in the MPH but it's a so-lousy one without proper PA system - dun even have mic-stands!! the speakers abit bonkers and sound the the back is completely muffled, making the audiences behind all falling asleep le. the day the concert was held on is also not a good day because everyone in camp was busy packing stuff into the crates that are to be shipped to WALLABY. it's not easy k... SO MANY WEAPON. imagine. the crate is about... 1.5m X 1.0m x 0.8m... and 8 people also cannot move the crate!!!! can barely lift off the ground. talk about that... you see, going to wallaby is not so easy. cos you need to ship everything there. and everything needs to be inspected by this Australian storeman.. (haha) criteria: no dirt no dust no mud. reason: pollution. i think there is only ONE storeman assigned to us. so everyone was like waiting for him to come. because these are weapons and stuff so we cannot just leave them alone and let the man come himself. we need to look after the stuff. last 2 weeks we also got lots of free time because the commanders were all having some training which doesn't concern us. so we were left untouched. we also had a few nights off which i din go at all because i felt it's a waste of time and money. that aside, the problem with having free time is that we tend to want to sleep on the bed, which is NOT ALLOWED!! i find it really ridiculous because we are allowed to sleep anywhere - the table, chair, floor, cupboard - but the bed. so during the debrief for the concert i raised this WELFARE issue. hope next time i can sleep on bed le... you see... being a welfare rep is not easy because... i'm like kiap in the middle! if i do work, it will make me seem asking too much. if i dun do work, my mates will say i useless. *haiz* enuff of army. lets get back to the civilian world... lets see... AGH!!! i suddenly remember the moon cake! i haven take dinner!! oki. i shall eat that! *afk* *back* hmmm.. nice! yah.. leslie bought moon cake for mother. but she cannot eat leh.. so i eat la. haha. i din buy anything for les's mother, hope she dun mind. hor? les hor? these two weekend had been quite fruitful. managed to spend quality time with her. yea~... also with family and my computer. but.. it's never enough!! haiz. yah and. ran 21km AHM yesterday. i never knew how far is 21km before i ran. now, i think it's short! haha... no lah.. because i ran 16km prior to this. 16km was VERY VERY long to me eventhough i ran 14km before that too. i think is the route that's playing the mind.if keep runing round and round sure feel like forever. 21km was not bad, the route was good. esplanade to shears-bridge to east coast park to kallang to lavender to esplanade again. but my leg really crushed liao. i feel as if i still have stamina to run another 21km but my leg CMI le. it's a pure fight with my legs actually. along the way you get to drink diluted gatorade and see stupid cheering and the unforgettable shark and sting ray mascots... i dun get the link till now. hmm... really time for me to go le... til next week. tata~ *sobsobs*

okook!!! better start bloggin now. getting abit lazy le har! if dun blog now, later no time le.. still have lots to do before i go back camp again! okioki... last sunday din blog. forgot why? probably lazy again. last weekend was tiring cos got out field ma... dun like out fields because cannot bathe! very dirty! sand and dust everywhere! when it rains worse... MUD - "the mud on my face is soil, our soil". this week same also. came back from out field. it still tank platoon battle course, just that this time got blanks to shoot - meaning more weapon cleaning to be done! =( in army we got this super washing formula: MARINPOL! can wash anything and everything except stubborn carbon. it stays on for days... so our hands will have the smell after cleaning arms. marinpol so powerful i use until hand going to wash off le. skin peeling and drying up. every day also got servicing and maintenace of tank have to wash all the grease and mud away... eeks. oh yah... was suppose to say that i didn't have problems with my girlfriend... although it seems so, i was talking about some other things. so please dun xiang wai wai k? thanks. hehe. aiyah... but last night really sad lah... i was angry. feel so bad now. until now haven hear from her. very sad and worried. dunno what she thinking now. i going to leave le... haiz... i dunno how people think of me. sometimes you just have to trust me more and think about it carefully. i know i may seem "egoistic" or whatever... but seriously, there is a difference between "i FEEL right" and "i AM right". most of the time people argue back because they FEEL they are right. but there is still much to debate about the REAL truth. i'm someone who wont make definite statements unless i AM right. it's not that i WANT you to listen, really, it's more of i dun want you to REGRET. haiz. love you. hurts me seeing you hurt. did quite some online transaction these 2 weekends. i'm always busy because i cannot let my time just pass like that without me doing anything useful. even things as dumb as trying to crack passwords and serial numbers for Ragnarok Online will make me more knowledgeable although i din really manage to crack them. (i'll try harder next time, ha). i also want to do lots of promoting and advertising for my "business ventures". alot alot of ideas come to my mind and i'm always finding ways to realizing them. i dun share these with others because friends often think i'm nuts. not even with you, les, because... i would make you nuts! so i'll be doing all on my own. just try... no try no luck; no pain no gain. feeling guilty also for not spending enuff time with other people. wanted to bring mama to KBox. but ergh... all lazy. she also ai mai ai mai... =/ hmmm.... guess i'll just stop here... see you around again, blog!
