National day mornin bk out due 2 guard duty... Den go temple 2 pay my respect 2 my grandma n grandpa, my great grandma n my dad's ex-fiancee. Sadly since i was born i nvr c my grandma, grandpa n great grandma b4 onli their photos. Till now, i realli respect my mum. She will always cook gd food 2 let my dad 2 offer the food 2 his ex-fiancee n durin qing ming, nvr fail 2 accompany my dad 2 go 2 her tomb 2 clear up without complainin got 2 wake up so early instead of havin jealousy. My dad oso nt so 忘本. 30 yrs liao still nvr fail 2 visit his ex-fiancee.

After tat meet up wif tat turtle in beach rd 2 buy his stuffs n go play pool wif him @ the concourse. Hope he is doin well in brunei forest nw. After tat went hme slack until bk in timing. Look @ the national day parade realli makes me look 4ward 2 my POP parade which is due in 2 mths time. Hopefully i can win something in my course n make my parents proud on tat day. Guess by nw alex, stanley, andy n yuqiang has gotten 3 stripes liao. Ha alex get posted 2 gedong camp s signal spec so suay. 1 yr plus in tis camp he sure complain wan.

Thursday we got change of command parade 2 get busy. Heng my course no need 2 b part of marchin contingent which oso means we will b the sai gang party. Set up, arrange chair, put up banners... Ha warrant see asked me 2 go help him wif his stuffs. We go carry instructor chair, mount on bionix, 40/50 n tank den go wrkshop modified the chair. Heng he got rover or else we walk here walk there wif tat chair confirm die. After tat he asked me 2 b his camera cam go SOC runnin grnd 2 take photos of the various stations. Sian lookin @ the stations it reminds me of my SOC run the nxt day. After tat, went back 2 office 2 help him do the map of SOC runnin route plus medical evacuation route. Almost half day in the office wif air con. Haha slack rite?

Despite helpin him, he will make fun of me, keep usin some funny hokkien terms 2 ask me wad it means. Nw he always c me he will say gong gong ( which means dumb dumb).... After tat i joined others @ the parade s spectators n look @ those poor AI marchin.

Fri mornin SOC run. Heng warrant low offered the challenge who run below 8.45 no need 2 do 2nd rnd. Wah i was like dun reserve energy n just push on n run. The last stretch of run is the most horrible n tirin. It all depends on ure mentality @ tat time liao. Ha last time b4 NS, my bro told me SOC xiong i wld laff @ it coz i nvr tik tat the SBO n rifle will realli affect ure runnin. Tis time rnd i set my personal SOC record. 8.32. Veri delighted. Hopefully by the test my timin can go under 8. After tat run, always liddat wan not enuff of slp my head super giddy. Worst headache i ever had. Worst still, the sirs still asked me 2 go practice my lo-rope coz i got up the top by mere arm strgth. They said if i got technique can cut the timin alot... But i tik if i use their technique i will fall frm the rope lor.

The afternoon sian did turret activities 4 nxt wk single tank battle course. Den prep tank until nite 10 plus den bk out. I slpt all the way hme almost missed my busstop. Tis sun playin my 1st match s my instructors' team wif mingze, chok, pat n jason @ sin ming sec sch. Hopefully can win n dun get injured ba. Ha nw OOC i can go kill myself liao. Nxt wk my stressful wk. Single tank battle course. We r nw trained driver n gunner but nt commander yet. S the tank is movin, we will practice our command n ctrl n multi-taskin s a commander. 5D4N outfield feedin mosquitoes. Fri came back n wash tank overnite den sat do maintenance until nite den bk out. 2 end wif a super combo finish nxt wk i will b the LPS-leader plt sgt... I tik the job is more like lam pa sai. Yes u can command pple 2 do things but if cant meet the instructor timin, prepare 2 end up in knock dwn position until pple finish. Plannin n decision is the most impt. Tik my "decisions" will end me up wif signin myself 4 confinements ba. Ha nw can onli may the force b wif me ba!
