Well, thats unit life as they say, lots of “loboing” (nothing to do) my armor course won’t start till year end, so prepare to slack slack and slack till then. And Mmm my first nights off did really get to enjoy this short friday night at home, before heading back to camp for the rest of the night, would be booking out tomorrow afternoon, till then dodalo!

Think I would catch SWAT the movie this weekend when time permits.. *duh*

Didn’t know sewing my CPL rank sewing on my uniform could be such a pain, so many sets to do…. Anyway, the new vocational postings are out and this time the posting’s gonna be permanent- one which will last for my 2 remaining years of national service till I ORD *Yeaaa.. freedom, end of army life*. I would be tied down with the armor unit- notoriously & largely rumored around this unit, their training are actually quite *eek* demanding…. *ponders for awhile* So, what can a man do but gear up and be prepared for some tough training… ahead!Damn its inevitable! Well at least I won’t need to put up with long travelling times and dumb ferry trips to pulau tekong anymore, as my camp is situated mainland.

Till then, it would be one week till you will hear from me, whats next? first impressions at the camp? woot!

Food for thought: *ouch* hope the scald on my hand heals soon… would be more careful when making nissin cupnoddles again… *duh, careless me!*

And so… the 32km graduation route march is over, so is the passing out parade and the receiving of my CPL rank, all yesterday… It was really a tough day on thursday night, the whole school literally marched 32km from thursday night all into friday’s late morning, where we had breakfast thereafter, then the passing out parade. You can guess how tried we can get, not to mention foot blisters and cramped legs. Many fell out, few fainted, yet many struggled, many pulled through. I was lucky to go through everything, thick and thin and came back, well… in one piece! It was an enjoyable march and it marks another transition of my national service journey, where I would be posted to a permanent unit, armor… Mmmm

A good way to end the 2nd last week in Sispec- take a non stop 12km run, said OC to the company. And yea there we went like brainless fools, like him running madly. So why the sour grape? It was definitely of achievable distance, but the heck? we are only expected to run only 7km as planned, what the extra mileage for? everybody’s stinkingly low on morale and there he is giving out war cries like a level 5 Orc War Taren. *duh* I wanna be compensated!

*throws abit of tantrum* Oh yea, the run was conducted yesterday, Infantry day an annual event where all the infantry units in SG gather at tekong for competitive runs where teams send in their best runners to win the 22km Tekong challenge. For me and my coy, we are just casual runners in the “healthy lifestyle run (++ free bonus 6km) ” everything ended in the late morning where we booked out around noon.

Jus as shagged and sleepy after the run. The rest of the section managed to crawl to beach road to get our chevrons sewed on and we felt cheated having to pay for $4 each set. Had lunch in the vicinity too, OTW. Fingers are itchy after being shoppping deprived for weeks, zipped to Simlim in my “ugly” book out artire & purchased a Linksys PC card ($67, usual $79) and C&C Renegade ($39.90, usual $49.90-$59.90)- all at great bargains *feels momentarily proud*

After reaching and dumping myself in the comfort of home, started building the server section of my home network, this one is a resurrected AMD Atlon 333Mhz from my old notebook, I would be prying it out and building a new ventilated desktop casing for it. The reason why laptops don’t make good 24/7 computers is that they have very very lousy cooling systems, so therefore the redesigned fanned case. oh well, the next thing on my to-do list is to actually find time to get it done…

Mmmmm, and something off-topic but otherwise, interesting, check out this niffy PC mag article Forcing Windows to Crash on forcing your OS to crash, for a good cause- to test the recoverability of your system.

You may be wondering why am I here now typing this blog on a weekday when I should be at camp sweating it out…

*pauses with anticipative grin*

ok, so I will shoot, would be dropping down to NUH tomorrow for some medical review on some eye infection, acute conjunctivitis(otherwise known as sore eyes). It had been bugging me for quite sometime, however its not in anyway, life treaterning. With that in hand, hey I got to book out! *kisses off-pass slip* This week is gonna be a very short week at camp, which I am too, not complaining though *grins* Would also be booking out this friday morning, being infantry day. *duh* wow? (some b-i-g occasion?) who cares, its the bookout which matters dudes! *uses fingers to count* roughly 3 more camp days left this week till friday, till then I will blog, chill out dudes!

Note: The comments posting script is kinda screwed up for now, hopefully I am able to get it fixed by friday. Chaos in tthe meantime.

Last week seems to be a very short week, very much shorter than usual. Whoosh its the weekend again and here I am typing this blog again. As I can remember with this clogged head and aching limbs of mine, heres what I have to share at camp.

And yea, so there was the outfield defense exercise for my company last week, namely manual digging, shoveling and lots of digging all day, all day… all into the night with my buddies, dig dig dig, so bad that even our enigneer gloves all start wearing out with holes, with aches and fatigue all over. Yes, it was really long, not to mention the complete lack of sleep the whole last 50 hours and the nightmare of carrying a 20kg++ heavy field pack cum signal set back to camp with the attack squad go for tens of kilometers, (being luckily appointed as general purpose machine gun commander.. *duh*) its one load that even your hands will start going numb after hours of “choinging” (rushing).

And so when the excercise ended it was company happy hour at club Chevrons @ jurong east. It was a miracle that everybody can set set their eyes open after 2 straight days of deprived sleep, talking about the zombies of resident evil… Had a dinner buffet, clubbed alittle club’s disco pub, the free flow of beer was delightful, though I still prefered the much conservative fruit punch. Sat around for a few round of pool and slacked for a few round of Daytona, Time crisis II, Tokyo wars and DDR at the local game arcade before heading home for a much needed rest. And just when the week could end happily, the stupid dial-a-coke drink vending machine refused to work for me… so much for that, there goes my phone bill…

Currently Listening: I will tell you if I have the energy to reach the winamp button…

Theres lots to do this week, so I would make this entry short and sweet.

And yeeaaa, yup, the 3 day sispec out field camp is over, next week there would be one more outfield “choing sua” before the end of course! and yea company happy hour will be on around end next week. All good things may eventually come to an end…. Lets see bout that!
