Tis wk quite fast. 3 days onli den i m out of the camp liao. Nw slack until fri nite 10pm reach airport 4 flight. Sian the flight 1.40am dun hav much time 2 slp oso. Tis few days nothing @ camp spent most of the time paintin tank 4 our POP in 1 mth time n pack all the things n equipments required. Nw on paper i m a 3rd sergeant alreadi but hav 2 wait 4 the POP 2 put on the 3SGT rank. Basically, i m a 3SGT wearin a corporal rank.

After postponin n postponin, tis tues we finally had our happy hr. Ha tis time rnd the food quite sumptuous. Got prawn, chicken wing, siew mai, fishball, roast duck, fried wanton. The faccilities @ the mess nt bad still got a quite updated karaoke sys wif updated playlist. Thx 2 jason's idea, we played the got hair no hair game which realli test ure reaction. After tat, eat+singin thruout.By right, shld b followed by a series of games n activities. But by left, c them enjoy singin so juz let them sing lor. Despite my plannin was screwed up, i was glad tat alot of pple enjoyed themselves. Everything turned out well xcept tat i 4got 2 take the trays back n caused chok 2 get scolded.

Yesterday veri rush. Got 2 attend all those briefin abt security n flight administration thing n kit inspection. The attire 2 wear 2 airport is formal lor. We were like huh wtf! S usual got safety brief. Tok abt insect or snake bite, heat disorders. Ha tis time rnd the MO focuse alot abt STDs. Kept showin photos of those affected penis. Wah imagine taiwan sausage wif cauliflower or blisters growin on it plus keep passin out white or yellow cream machiam got cheese. Haha gross rite? Still got take hme msg: No matter hw great the temptation is, DUN try it! Quite an irony. They said liddat still give us condoms when we go overseas. Some said 2 contain water in case of emergency (1 condom=1 litres of water) while some said let u go there b chicken king. No matter wad, 1 nite of fun n pleasure= no more nite of fun n pleasure juz bcoz of u havin STDs worth it ar nt? Ha i m nt a veggie lover so i wld nt wish 2 grow some mushrm or cauliflower on taiwan sausage.

After bkout we chiong straight 2 新旺香港茶餐厅 2 eat again. Tis time rnd charles nvr go but choon siang went wif us instead. Again, he cant resist the french toast melt inside his mouth. Haha! Tis time rnd we ate until each 1 got 2 pay 20 bucks again. Ha after tat kept tokin n scoldin 1 person like wad we always did everyday. Haha!

Sian nw haven changed my currency yet n cut my hair. Ha my cse got pple went 2 cut botak super funny lar. But tik i juz cut high slope ba. Nw the rates shld b quite gd ba if i nvr hear wrongly 1 sing dollar=20.6 NT. Tik i xchangin 300 sing 1st ba. Quite funny rite. Last few mths, keep lookin 4ward 2 but until recently, quite sian n dun feel like goin liao. Flip thru the schedule n feel tat the trainin seems quite short, 1 wk live firin, 1 wk of battle courses, den 27-29 R n R in taipei. Anw our R n R mayb in tai nan if the demostration of ah bian is still on until den. But still sian lar. 3 wks in overseas. definitely will miss my family n miss goin out wif my frens on wkends.

Beside tat, mv nt bad got chiobu. Haha. Tis wk another slack wk. Can c tat the instructors hav started 2 tone dwn alot. Seldom scold us. Instead, start making fun of us n tell us alot abt taiwan trip. Tis wk oso marks the end of PT phase 4 most of us. Abt 90% cleared our ippt test wif gold n SOC test liao. Haiz 4 my SOC test, durin mon trial i ran 8.16 with my rifle stuck 2 my SBO. Ha i was slingin the rifle thruout the entire trial test.

On the actual test on wed, tis time rnd my rifle didnt get stuck. Upon reachin the last obstacle, i jumped dwn n ran. Suddenly, master don saw me n started 2 pace me. Got his fav crew mingze he dun wan 2 pace he came pace me. Sian tis time rnd i finished 8.25 worse than my trial... Den master don told me the portion below my eyes is bleedin. No wonder he pace wif me lar. Tik i must hav let the rifle zham my face when i was slingin the rifle. Wad a suay day! Gdbye 2 best PT award liao. Nw hope tat hsein yeow will win it 4 our course instead of lettin the Bah-Yi in AISL win it.

We haven packed our op boxes 4 taiwan yet... Tis wk we oso got rover navigation in which alot of us end up in hol-land. Ha i almost bring my rover back 2 camp instead of goin 2 the 2nd checkpt. Ha nw some of coursemates r crazy abt playin pokemon until they brought their game boy adv in2 camp 2 play. Ha b4 A lvl after prelim last yr, i was playin the firered n saphire version.

Yesterday s jason suggest chok, jeremy, mz, charles, jiaji, n me took cab 2 marina sq 2 eat 新旺香港茶餐厅. Wah the cab fare abt $30 lar. The queue was super long. Ha we realli felt like takin out all our dirty uniform out confirm got seat liao. Soon our turn n we started 2 realise our long queue is worth it. We looked @ the menu we like children liddat lar. Haha 我要吃这个! 我要吃这个! The 1st dish was the chicken curry. Once the nonya curry enter our mouth, we were like kena lightning struck n almost ended up like a volcano just erupted. Super nice! Like those homemade type. U wont understand until u try. Den came the french toast. One bite enuff 2 send us flyin 2 moon liao. i oso dunno hw 2 describe it. We were like those pple in 妙手小厨师 anime. Wah here wah there 很好吃! Keep eatin n orderin.

The milk tea, spag, baked rice, ice kacang, curry, noodle, dumplings esp pastries veri veri nice n the prices r quite reasonable. Tis is the 1st time i eat until so high in the restaurant. We were tikin like after NS, we came here 2 wrk n learn hw 2 cook their food. Haha after taiwan trip, we confirm will go there again.

Veri fast 6 more days 2 taiwan. Hopefully by wed can go hme n let us rest @ hme until fri den go airport ba.
