Yo, its Tuesday today. Finally, I am able to post an entry on a WEEKDAY(other than Quebec off-in-lieu)! Feels great to post an entry on a weekday during NS life. I also dunno why.Last Tuesday, exactly 1 week ago, is the official day when I am finally a full-fledged MP. It was really a very very touching moment when all the trainees are now equiped with the orange brasard. However, it came at a high price to pay. We SAMULA upmteen times during the PARADE rehearsal on last Monday! In addition, i wasn't feeling well that day! That night before POP, i had diarrhoea! A really terrible one. 6 times till morning and i decided to go to the MO on POP day itself. Luckily the medicine is effective to ease the diarrhoea! Felt so touched that I almost teared during the Parade when we sang the MP song and reciting the MP creed! That will probably be the last time saying that until before my ORD!(Pic on Facebook)Felt contented to go back to MPTS on Wednesday with beret and prange brasard with the rest! Felt the POWER in me! But things weren't that good the next day.On Last Thursday, went to Ayer Rajah Camp as instructed! I thought that will be my permanent posting. However, we were told that the camp was at Seletar Camp, some ulu places. We were all shocked and eager to see the camp. Hence, we took public transport to Seletar Camp! Walked for about 25mins from the entrance to the camp that I am suppose to guard. I was like WTF! After lunch, we were briefed and were given rest time at about 4 plus. Everyone's faces were like stunned. We were all speechless and helpless! We felt like a trapped bird and have a very negative feeling about that classified area! I was really really down then. I felt like crying out loud, which David felt that same way too. SIgh!Came home with a very very sad morale! But suck thumb is only the thing that I can say! I will have to make it as easy to pass time as possible!Today is my 4th day in that camp and I am still undergoing training. All I have to say is it will be quite tiring. Felt really lousy today when something went wrong. Night Ops, turnouts and stuff like that is really an obstacle man! Sigh!Have to suck thumb man. Guess i will get use to it like for quite some time. Maybe till I ORD? Hahah. Anyway, i will try to appease myself by buying nice food after dismount and or go out after standby! Haha. And thats for now! Sure to have more man!PS: Why am I in external posting? I Don't want it man!!!!

Hello. Here to blog again. Am feeling ok right now, just a little discomfort around chest area. I think i have slight food poisoning. Ate Fried Oyster on Friday which my stomach may not be able to take it. This week is the last full week in MPTS as a trainee. Chemical Defense lesson on Tuesday but i cannot go in as i had Childhood Asthma. But i did the exercise. Anyway, it was quite suffocating but good experience. Had our second NIGHTS OUT on Tuesday. Wednesday, the whole day is catered for drills. Was raining in the morning and hence we did it in the indoor range. Overall, i think that our drills is OK! Seriously!IPPT on Thursday. Its a waste that i didn't get a Silver but well i maintain a PASS. Shall train for Silver the next one. Photo Taking and CO dialogue and that is the end of the week. Didn't manage to wear No. 3 for the photo taking as the No.3 uniform is not ready then. I really dunno how to face my section mates if they know that i have lost the most important card! I just wanna POP in peace! Really! Help me!Labels: Week 9

Feeling giddy right now due to lack of sleep i guess. The dominant reason is actually using up too much brain cells for the whole day yesterday. In the morning till late afternoon, I was having fun playing Mahjong. The rest of the day, i was cracking my head to reminisce what happened on Friday after boarding the taxi. I remember quite clearly that i took that camp pass together with my 11-B and place it inside my pocket. I am wearing a pretty tight jeans and its quite impossible that it will drop out. I have a slight impression that i have it with me when i alight the lift at my block. From then, i remember taking out all my stuffs in my pockets. Mp3, my army handphone and my ear-pieces are all in my room. The camp pass and 11-B in the cardholder is no where to be found. I had a bad feeling about that when I couldn't find it.Normally, i can recall quite quickly the places that i have been and got that missing thing in no time. I did that to find my camp pass and 11-B but to no avail. My mum searched the washing machine and its not there. I looked ups and downs and there isn't any sign of camp pass. I was really panicking and had a very bad feeling all the way until I reach Vivo city to meet my friends.Rattle off this situation to those that i met yesterday and they all said that its at home. My feeling tells me its really at home. But why i just can't find that f important cards of mine? I kept blaming myself for not able to find the cards after coming home from Vivo. I felt really bad and given up finding at about 12am. My mum did a big role by searching for the card at this 4-room flat but to no avail also. Called my section commander 3SG Ng Chee Tiong to inform him about my current situation. He was really nice to me and calm me down whenever i sounded anxious. He assured me that its not a very big issue and is constantly consoling me. He did whatever he can and told me to rest early. He is seriously very nice to me and I would say, I am very very lucky to have him as my Sec com! Thank you so much SGT!Woke up feeling giddy today until now. Most likely is due to the over usage of brain cells yesterday. Kept thinking and being paranoid about it yesterday night. However, I feel real good this morning but just need a little more time to face the fact! Going to make a police report later. Sigh, I guess this is fated. My life is planned such a way that i will have to undergo this stress in my life! POP this Tuesday and i encounter this situation is quite a headache for me, can't POP in peace. Haha.Alright shall stop here.Labels: I lost it

Hello, this post is for last week. Haven got the time for since the last book out to write an entry. Shall write a short entry!Last week was quite a slack week. Really. CCT was cancelled on monday on we basically did nothing the whole afternoon. Booked out on Tuesday for Dental appointment. Feels damn good to be out. Conclusion is i am doing Braces soon! Ate nice food in the Chinatown hawker! Love those cantonese food! Went back and had course cohesion. Its quite fun overall! The rest of the days last week is practise for pistol range, IMT and the actual range itself! 25m range is fun. Pistol shooting is not that easy! The recoil is kinda huge! But at least i got 22/30. Not that bad!Thats about all. Went out with Darlings and had a cosy bunk in with them. Went for Karaoke session. Love the cantonese songs that i am learning. I really think i can sing cantonese songs quite well! But i will have to take some time to learn before singing it. Shall learn more!Love our morning breakfast too at Meiling Street hawker centre. The fried carrot cake is awesome! We had lots of food on the table for consumption! Love that cosy feeling! Ya, thats all for the week. Shall update on Sunday again! Will enjoy this long weekend! =)Labels: late
