Tekong......

Seems like I'll be going back to Tekong next Thursday. It was totally unexpected cause I thought I'd be going back in October for the enhanced batch. And the bad thing that my fieldpack and LBV are still in my locker which means I'll have to carry them all the way back home again!!! And there I thought I'll get my blood test results next Friday which could settle my pes status once and for all before I go for BMT. Now I won't even know what I have until I get out from my 2 weeks confinement all over again.


How I wish I could go for driving course straight away. Then by the time I come back, I can go clock mileage and stand a chance to go to New Zealand. That would be so cool. There'll even be chances to go to Taiwan, India, Thailand and Australia if I ever get the chance. Currently I'll just be stuck at the Training Co-Ord section where all I do is to cover up someone's mistakes which totally sucks. Especially when LAB is ongoing for 3 days and he didn't even lift a finger to help cause he's not there.


And I just found out Snowhite got leukemia straight after his operation on his right shoulder. That is absolutely shocking and crazy cause his hospital bills are like 60k++ and he only need to pay 100+ thanks to SAF. If he gets his pes F now, it'll be like a atomic bomb on his parents savings. Hopefully he'll be okay. Don't think I'll update anymore until the day I'll throw my jockey cap into the air and shout 'POP LOR!!!'

Thursday 13 August 2009

Don't be surprise why I'm blogging at this time of the day. I got another 3 days MC from the polyclinic which was totally unexpected on Tuesday. I was only going to make an appointment for a blood test due to certain condition I have and they found out I had fever. 38.6 degree celcius. I guess it's normal. With the number of people at home still sick, it's not entirely impossible for me to fall sick again.



I have to go back to camp tonight, bringing along my fieldpack and LBV. FBO check tomorrow morning as well as standby bed. For the area cleaning part I understand but for the FBO check?? That's totally unreasonable. Especially when the clerks, storemans and driver trainees gets involved. Does he really think we are a combat unit?? I'll be going back to Tekong very soon and he expects me to ferry them to and fro. Thanks to BC, I got news about tomorrow's check and thankfully, most of my things from Tekong were untouched. Managed to almost finish packing last night. Still missing a few stuff here and there.



Hopefully I'll enjoy another long weekend with no hinders. And no confinement due to dirtyness of bunk cause I think my bunk is one of the cleanest *fingers crossed*.

Thursday 30 July 2009

I'm sick once again. After the 1 week MC i got last week, my illness has not improved one bit. The persistent cough and irritating phlegm still lingers within me. I went back to camp this week just to do a day of duty and got MC for the rest of the week to rest. Apparently a few of the regulars and NSFs fell ill as well, making the whole office look deserted. Plus with the people gone for BK, there's hardly 30 people left everyday.


As some people would know, I have finally got my DS last Wednesday thanks to Jason's help. I owe him big time!! Problems arised after i got the gaming console. Like the R4 and the charger problem which caused me to travel to and fro for several days, depleting my transport allowance which is no more now. After being cooped up at home for so many days, there's always a need to enjoy myself. Went to Marina Square KBox with Sudi, WeiEe, Lynnette and Jingda. Haven't been there in a while. I believe that was the 11th time I've gone to KBox this year so far. Crazy but true. Jess met up with us after the KBox to join us for dinner. We had a hard time deciding the place as almost everywhere was crowded and ended up at Thai Express. Since it was still early after the dinner, we went to the fountain where Sudi and I celebrated our bday last year with the girls. Quite fun playing games and stuff since the 6 of us haven't met up in ages (:


These few days were just as boring for me having to rest at home. Packed schedule tomorrow with Gene for lunch at Sakae Sushi at Northpoint, dinner with Chermaine at her workplace in Khatib and Harry Potter movie at Bishan with Isaac and Raymond. Looking forward to meeting up with everyone (= And I seriously need to sleep now. The cough medicine is knocking me out. That's all folks

Sunday 19 July 2009

This will be the last week REC Jasvir Dang will be with us before he goes for his driving course which means bad news for me. For those who don't know him, he's my upper study for Training Co-Ord aka detailing. I'll be taking over the job from his from Wednesday onwards whereby I'll be in charge of putting vehicle numbers and drivers to go for exercises and details. Big big stress coming up and I don't even know if I'm up to the job. Working with Lincoln, JJ, Jason and Ivan would help a lot but the bulk of the work still comes from me. Any screw ups and I'll take the rap.

Haven't been feeling good lately. Not emotionally but physically. Muscle sores after gym on Monday for the whole week. I think that's what happens when you totally stop exercising for a quarter of a year. 3 long months I've been stuck in the office doing nothing much but clerk work. I guess I've been 'eating too many snakes'. AND I WANT TO GO FOR DRIVING COURSE!!! But it'll be my turn in a few months time after my excuse driving finishes. Looking forward to that. Got struck by a bad flu in the past few days. Bad cough with running and blocked nose. Can't breathe properly. Oh well, just hope that the swine won't get to me. *fingers crossed* (:

Booking into camp in a couple of hours time. Dreading it of course but no choice. And I won't be able to finish the Goblet of Fire that continues at 10pm :( Nevermind. It'll be another short week for me since I took half day leave on Friday. Finally going to get my DS (hopefully) at last thanks to Jason. No more borrowing and dream of playing anymore. HAHAHA

Sunday 28 June 2009

It's nearing the end of the month and I haven't blogged for this entire month. Reason being i've started to stay in camp every night rather than going home everyday. Even so, that hasn't stopped from using the computer in the office.

This month is kind of boring. Except for the sleepover last Saturday at Isaac's house. Rabbit managed to join us this time and we were chionging Halo 3 until 2+ am. And putting my hands once again onto the DS which parted from me a couple of weeks back.

Got a last minute message from Michelle to go pubbing at Boat Quay on the 25th. Who would want to go back to camp halfway while drinking. So I had to go through so much trouble just to get my leave for the next day. Met up with Michelle, Shian and Lynard after 'work'. Went over Honey Bar cause Shian wanted to see the cute bartender there. Drink Drank Drunk. Not me but the 2 girls. Thankfully Michelle had someone to send her home and Shian had Keith. Only managed to reach home at around 1.30am cause the KPE entrance was closed.

Currently i'm surviving on less than $10 until my next pay where i'll have $20 to spend due to debts and some savings plan i signed up last month. So staying in isn't a bad idea cause i'll save on my transport fees. Nevermind, 2 more months and i'll be free.

Last week, i just got excused 2 months from driving so that i won't have to go for driving course. If I go for course, my Saturdays will be burned and no practice which means cannot participate in the concert in September. And i have been attached temporarily to the Training Co-Ord section aka detailing. Only 2 days into the sections and i don't know how much hair I've pulled of my head. Getting arrowed by almost every superior in the office. I guess it's just me, being the nice guy or something.

It's back to camp for me tomorrow. By right it's today la but who cares. Long weekend for me again cause I took half day leave on Friday morning and MA in the afternoon. Perfect planning. 11.5 days of leave left. Must spend wisely. That's all for now

200

post 200 coming up. can't believe this took me almost 2 years. haha



yesterday was grandmother's 74th birthday. celebrated at Downtown's Sakura which was super packed as usual. Sudi touched down in time for the dinner. buffet dinner is super filling. had to rest in between before i could continue. Kbox with the family right after that. first time sing so many oldies in a day. hahah. 唱歌治百病. i felt much much better right after the session. happier in fact. left the place at 1 plus and reached home at 2. haven't been home this late for a long time.



went back to school on Thursday. took leave just to collect the SGC with JiaHao. abit wasted cause the regulars had IMT/ATP. which means it was quite slacky. hanged around Northpoint for a while before heading to J8 to meet Isaac to watch Terminator Salvation. it's a uber nice show but a little expensive cause it's the first day showing. regulars had ATP on Friday as well but i was given half day off for my MA in the afternoon. another day wasted cause it's Family Day and they get to book out earlier. ahhhhhh.



therapy at TTSH was okay. only lasted for 45min. had to put my hands into a machine with corn husk and heater and massage the broken finger in it. i could bend my finger more than usual but my whole right hand is totally weak. can't exert much energy to do work. even just by clenching my fist my whole hand would just tremble. oh well. let's see what the X-Ray would tell me on Wednesday when i go back to TTSH again

Sunday 24 May 2009

bad bad bad

it's Sunday night and by right i'm not suppose to be here blogging now. oh well. let's see what will happen tomorrow. weekend had nothing much going on. just staying at home catching up on my sleep and lazing around since there's no choir. chionging RC and MW whenever i can. and i think it's a little overboard since i only started RC like last Sunday. life of a total slacker which i totally hate but what else can i do.




sucks to have so many things on my mind and no one to talk to. people around me have changed a lot. changed to a point where i don't really know them anymore. and there's nothing i can do about it. something is really wrong but i don't know what. i think it's a collective thingy since a couple of months ago. slight irritance on every single thing that's happening. sometimes i just want to shout **** OFF at every single person but that's just not me at all. not yet i suppose. i think i'll go to DB if i do that in camp.




on a lighter note, a friend of mine in Khatib camp whom i only know for less than 2 weeks is going switching camp on Tuesday. he's a good person to talk to, especially when he share the same chinese name. hahaha. Dhaslie Chong Wei Jie. didnt know he was from CCHS (Yishun) until Friday which would be the last day i'll be seeing him. slacky guy taking off on Monday. haha. will miss him after he leaves. one less person to talk to :(

stay in again

here i am blogging at 3.40pm at home. i was given att C by the MO this morning. actually i was only there for diarrhoa and cough. but fever tagged along without me knowing and here i am. i guess it was carried forward from yesterday. i think i'm going to be alone again if Darren goes for his driver course. and my warrant told me to pack my barang-barang for this week's stay in. didnt know it would be over so soon where i can enjoy my weeknights. really detest the thought of staying in a abandoned bunk with termite infested walls and rundown look. oh well. just have to suck thumb for now.

the weekend was kind of okay. choir practice on saturday afternoon followed by steamboat at Debbie's grandma's house to celebrate Deb's bday. haven't seen everyone in a very long time since the class bbq. sunday was a bad day. fell horribly ill and slept for almost the entire day. only felt better at night.

and i want to watch Angels & Demons. anyone free during the weekends???

driver

seems like i still have the chance to become a driver according to my officer. that's provided my medical appointment with the specialist at TTSH this Wednesday gives me the thumbs up. but i still can't bend my whole finger properly thanks to the splint.

anyway, the chief clerk is damn irritating. forever keeping people in, making us stay back for no reason. don't really like him alot. but who cares. i think i'll be out of there soon i hope since i finished the induction program today.

had my off day last Friday. since we were temp staff, we didn't get a choice on what day to take. otherwise i would have taken it today. went over to Isaac's house to stayover again. this time Ray boy and Jason stayed over as well. watched Star Trek on Saturday afternoon. super great show. that would be the 2nd movie i've watched on a weekend 2 weeks in a row. with Angels and Demons and Transformer 2 coming up, the movie spree would continue despite my limited income after paying the debt. 2 more months to go.

after today, i've come to realise that only 2 months out of 2 years of my NS life just passed. since i got out of Tekong, time seemed to pass by very slowly at Sembawang camp. especially when i have to drag myself out of bed at 5.30am, travel to camp for an hour, sit there for the whole day doing nothing productive and going back home at 6pm everyday. travel expenses has increased tremendously with all 965-169 or 161-169 bus transfers. $20 on travelling per week is no joke. i seriously need to get the concession asap. and pray hard that i get posted out to Khatib camp

Saturday 2 May 2009

long weekend 2

this is the second long weekend i've had. didnt really do anything much also. went to watch X-Men Origins at J8 with Jason and Isaac yesterday. damn nice show. especially with the appearance of Gambit. woo. finally got some new games in the DS. heh heh

went to donate blood today at Nee Soon East CC. haven't done so in almost half a year. must thank BMT for that. then headed straight for practise at Brahms. skipped lunch cause got no time and it seriously affected me. felt totally shagged towards the end of the session. how to not feel tired after giving 500cc of blood and no replenishment. not getting any better now anyway.

and i got posted as a driver at Sembawang camp for the course. don't know whether it's a blessing or not. can't drive with my finger like that. cause according to Wan Sheng i require both hands to be on the wheel. and it's a stay in course. suay like hell. if i OOT again, don't know what will happen sia): oh well life goes on anyway
