Bo bian man off until fri so all tis things we got 2 prepare 1st. Tat nite my men finally bk in. 1st time seein them n i got 2 brief them abt the nxt day thing. Both mz n cs noticed tat when i tok 2 them, i like 2 touch my nose when tokin 2 them. So nw when tok 2 them i try 2 fold my arms such tat my hand wont go touch my nose. They oso say i shld speak louder 2 them. Machiam i wan 2 scold them liddat.
Wah they r realli well-trained. 1st they dun fall in late n they march properly frm places 2 places unlike some other plt n coy. 2nd they super independent go veh shed noe wad 2 do i onli need 2 giv them some instructions onli. Mornin i check on their area cleanin they realli did a gd job xcept 4 some minor prob. Ha if they continue liddat i no need 2 knock anyone dwn. Hopefully they can continue tis gd work.
Sian 2day the 3 cmmders includin me made a 2pid mistake in boresightin the main gun so end up got 2 redo. We gave the wrong procedure 2 them 2 boresight in the beginin so end up we tik we shld go redo ourselves ba despite alot of pple say mon @ the range we will do boresight again. Hweva i tik do nw better than wait until tat day 2 do. @ least tat day got 2 adjust abit onli if there is ani prob. We ended up doin durin the evenin. When the men were back frm dinner, i told them abt wad i was doin @ the vehicle shed n asked them 2 touch up their area n informed me when they r goin 2 bk out.
Upon tellin tat, quite a no of them offer 2 change 2 long 4 2 go dwn n help us out. Wah i was quite surprised n touched by tat. We onli noe 1 another 1 day onli n yet they r willin 2 help out. Realli grateful 2 last batch sgt 2 train them so well. End up i say no n ask them 2 prepare 2 bk out. They hav done their part accordin 2 our instructions in the mornin liao. Shld nt make them amend mistakes nt caused by them. Hw will u feel when some pple use his authority 2 ask u do things again juz bcoz of mistakes tat u nvr commit?

Sgt liao! Mon back 2 gedong camp ATI 2 clear up the place n return all the things n most imptly get 2 noe where i will b posted 2. Sian helped 2 return optic n signal items n realised got 2 pay up 4 quite a no of items. Soon afternoon came along wif the postin. Sian i was posted 2 42 Singapore Armour Regiment in which i had 2 take 10mths old soldiers who tend 2 b more rebellous. At the same time, 42 SAR is an active unit liao which will b veri busy. Anw 42 SAR is still in gedong camp. Haiz cant escape frm the clutch of tis ulu camp...
Sigh my gd buddy Jeremy goin 41 SAR which i wanted 2 go coz take fresh new recruits easier than takin 10 mths soldiers n somemore he goin oso. Tokin abt him, ha he is the 笨蛋 who will nvr fail 2 help his frens, always tik 4 others n worst treat his frens non-stop until i oso buay tahan got 2 come up wif ways 2 stuff $$ back 2 him. The best thing abt 41 is it is 5 min wlk frm yew tee mrt. Haiz both of us quite unhappy of the postin but 天底下没有不散的宴席. Sort of make a deal of comin out wkly 2 update one another hw we r doin in diff unit. Ha tik i will hav more stories 2 tell abt my men n the ops n hectic schedule we will b goin thru. @ 5pm, i sadly left ATI wif all the fond recollections of my tank leader trainee life here n bid gdbye 2 those goin 41 SAR. 18 wks n all the bonds we had i was veri sad deep dwn my heart but i keep puttin a brave front. Ha everytime 都逞强!
Soon went 2 our bunk n settle dwn. Heng pple went wif me i oso noe quite well wan except ...... Haha shld noe who ba. Got 2 go thru 2 wks induction prog until nxt fri den noe which company we will get posted 2. Nw sgt life quite gd liao. No need 2 march frm place 2 place, can go canteen anitime, free 2 do anithin when u r free, pple greet u. Ha slpin hrs increase oso. Last wk almost everyday got nites off either go Lot1 or JP. PCs n CSMs n RSM realli treat us well oso. The food there veri nice lar. But obvious lar Chief Armour Officer's office there wad.
Nxt wk juz hope tat my postin will b gd ba. So far my army postings so far r so disappointin. Things i dun wan yet i still kena. @ the same time, hope tat my driver n gunner r gd n cooperative wif me. In 42, there's a mixture of A lvl, Poly, Olvl, N lvl or lower educated pple arnd. So got 2 c ure luck of gettin the pple. However, normally tankie man will b the better ones. Accordin 2 my luck, i tik i will kena the worst again....
Wkend spent time goin out frm my frens. Fri went arcade wif chok n jeremy. Waste $$ on tat 2pid world cmbat machine. Worst i lost my timezone vip card. Must b some1 5 finger discount on my card.

Nxt yr he will b @ NUS high sch teachin liao. S usual, c ms lee i will confirm kb her wan but she updated me alot abt Fitness n the sch. Mr Lim CS informed me abt the yr end camp n hoped tat the seniors can come back help him. Hopefully we can apply leave n help wif the camp.

Last wk den came back frm my holiday. The trip was fun. Wah the weather was everchangin n almost got typhoon. @ nite super coolin. Realli learn alot of things frm tat trip. 香鸡排 plus bubble tea is always there. Hwever i tik the 香鸡排 nt so special instead i like the deep fried chicken skin. Ha my frens said it was sinful 2 eat due 2 the oil content. Add chilli pwder in2 it wif 甜不辣 plus honey milk tea is realli a sumptous supper liao. Taiwan veri environmental frenly everywhere got recycle bin n all the rubbish got 2 sort out accordinly. Got 2 pay 4 plastic bag somemore. The fastfd restaurant no chilli sauce n got 2 clear ure own tray b4 u go. Alot of food store along the streets eat until u song. Ha the gers there quite sweet n chio but they sort of follow the japan fashion trend. 2 bad nvr get 1 2 b my penpal. Haha.
1st day went 小人国. It is a place wif a lot miniature places of interest all arnd the wrld. Haha some of my coursemate bastard n wld say: Oh eric finally go 2 his hmeland. Inside there got a small themepark in which we took the indoor roller coaster. Erm tis is sort of the prelude of the nxt place we goin 2. Along the way we bought some taiwan tai yang bin 4 my family. Afternoon went 六福村 a bigger theme park. Tis time rnd we went 4 the screamin condor which a ride tat go up n dwn in a direction of U shape. Quite shiok. Ha both me n jeremy scream like siao. @ nite, we went ximen ding(sort of taiwan orchard rd) 2 shop. Along the way, i tried the taiwan sausage wif 麻辣酱 n the 盐水鸡 super nice. But tat nite got 1 siao auntie grabbed me by hand 4 no reason wah i faster zhao. Muz b those recommend prostitute ba. After tat went back hotel but nvr did i expect i concuss so fast. Ha keep sayin some dreamwords until jeremy buay tahan.
2nd day went Ye liu 2 c the coastal rocks there n we took alot of photos there. Den we watched dolphin performance. Ha veri nice n the dolphins r veri cute. Heng my fren got took some of the footages. If u all wan i can send u. Wah den the seals n acrobat performance realli made me doze off. Tat place oso famous 4 its seashells prdts, dried seafood which i ended up buyin 鱼松 4 my mum. @ nite, we went shih lin nite mkt. Wah realli a lot of food n alot of things 2 buy frm the nite market. The teppanyaki quite cheap 1 meat 1 fish plus vege onli cost S$10 onli.
3rd day free n easy. Mornin went 2 taiwan SOGO 2 shop but nothin much 2 buy. The word SOGO alreadi suggest tat liao. But the svc is veri gd. Imagine when the departmental store open n u take the escalator up every lvl, u c all the staffs there line up 2 lines n say gd mornin welcome 2 SOGO. The funniest thing is the lift got female attendant 2 help u press the buttons n inform u which floor got wad categories of items. Sian we went back 2 ximen ding 2 get some items we didnt get the other time. Heng we stumbled upon a shop which sold levis jeans. The price was much cheaper than spore until i tot it's fake. My fren verify it n the shop owner oso xplain tat she bought the jeans in US n brought back 2 sell tat's y the price will b cheaper than the rest. Since it is nt fake, i got a 501 4 abt S$90 onli which is much cheaper than spore one. Tat day we almost saw jolin cai but 2 bad alot of crowd n cameramen end up cant c anithing. The other side got cyndi wang doin advertisement. Given a choice between jolin n cyndi, who will u choose 2 go 2 c? Ha confirm jolin cai wan.
After tat hme sweet hme back 2 spore. If got chance, i wld definitely go back 2 taiwan wan. Came back 1 wk den POP liao. Nw i m a tank cmmder, 3SG Eric Lim but nw still dunno which unit i will get posted 2. Mon bk in den noe n straight away report 2 my new unit. Fast rite. Hopefully go 41 SAR ba. Nw wif one more stripe comes wif greater responsibility.
