Lame n idiotic: August 2007

Saturday, August 25, 2007

Tis wk mon n tues off so rot @ hme. Wed went back 2 paint tank for the upcomin CO change of command parade. Thurs n fri went for Army open house live firing rehearsal. Luckily bcoz of my commitment in AOH, my OC excused me frm Sunday Army half marathon n the preparation on Sat itself. Heng ar less 1 wkend burnt.

Thurs went 4 my 1st live firing. Sian. 1st day go there kena scold 4 nothing by 40 CO. Super turned off. My tank juz manuevred slowly s i needed 2 adjust my tank 2wards the tgt 4 the 1st time. "14A can u stop movin like a fuckin pussy!" Tat was wad the the 40 CO lashed out @ me. Walau eh i 1st time doin leh can giv me some leeway. Haiz life in army is liddat. Due 2 the regimental system n ranks, i 3SG got 2 put up wif such stuffs.... Other than tat, all the runs were alright.

Nxt wk i can onli go hme on wed. Mon got rehearsals n on tues, the media is comin 2 film something, tik is the advertisement 4 the AOH ba. Den frm thurs 2 the following mon, AOH officially starts n i had 2 stay there until 2000hrs den go back camp n slp... Sad rite... Hopefully the followin wk i can clear off n get excused frm COC parade. Den nw my coy come up wif some stupid clear off policies which i tik i wont b able 2 clear finish my offs liao.

Damn dulan. If u dun intend 2 let us clear, y giv us in the 1st place. All these offs r given 4 the amt of sweat, time n effort we spent doin things on wkends or some extra events wan. Nw u dun let us clear. Realli wth! I had alreadi met the requirement 2 ORD liao not sayin tat i dun wan 2 strive for my ippt gold. My frens in other coys or other battalions can clear y cant i clear. Unfairness n double standard. u simply wan every1 2 get gold n soc pass such tat this result n record will b beneficial for ure career advancement. Selfish is the word i can tik of 2 describe tis. Tis is absolutely absurd. Wad if until the end cannot get gold hw? U still let us clear? Or still cannot clear? Cannot ans rite. If u choose let us clear no 1 will bother 2 strive 4 gold in the 1st place. See u cant ans tis qns coz u r afraid of the consequences of choosin either ans.

Tues wed thurs clear half day off. U got no right 2 force us 2 clear. If u onli allow us 2 clear onli this 3 days, hw much $$ will one spend on transportation goin out n back 2 camp? Alot rite. So u tik who wld wan 2 clear. If u force, u will b subjected 2 complains. Pls spare a thought 4 those who hav fighted 4 ure sake, trained 4 ure sake n helped u along the way.

Anw juz 2 inform those who r interested in tis yr Army Open House. It will b held @ Pasir Laba Camp(somewhere near boon lay) frm 30 aug-3 sept. Time i nt sure but soon it will b on media advertisement. Tis yr nt bad the public can hav a chance 2 c alot of live firin like attack helicopter, milan, mortar n armour vehs. If any1 goin pls help me take some photographs of the live firin s i wan 2 hav some photos 4 momento. Thx alot.

Tis wk juz finished my ACCT package. All the "ya ya" shouting made me lose my voice 4 abt 2 days...Wif acct cleared, i can nw juz wait for my ord day 2 come s my ippt n soc had met the ord requirement oso. Haha. Some pple c tis sentence confirm curse n swear wan. Hweva i still got 1 more combat shoot plus i wan 2 get back the gold which i missed by 3 s... Inevitably, my leaves n offs hav nt cleared oso.

Comin wkend burnt due 2 my battalion is 1 of the sai kang battalions 4 army half marathon. Comin sat my coy got 2 go east coast there set up barricade overnite 4 the sunday mornin run. Den on sun mornin, after pple run finish, we got 2 stay back 2 clear up the barricades. Still ok lar. Tokin abt AHM reminded me of wad happened on fri n yesterday.

On fri i knew i goin 2 help out 4 army open house n i was ok abt it. Howeva, @ 6pm, i received a fone call frm my fren tat i got 2 go back 4 sat rehearsal in the mornin.... Den his coy 2IC spoke 2 me nicely so i dunno y i could nt turn him dwn. Ended up i reached back camp on sat @ abt 0515 n we went pasir laba camp 4 the rehearsal @ 8. Heng he promised us tat we needed 2 go thru the dry run onli den a rover will fetch us back 2 camp.

Suay suay durin the dry run there was a heavy dwnpour n i was the gunner 2 observe n familarise wif the dry run. Within min, i was drenched frm head 2 toe... But gd thing is the 2ic kept his word n sent us back 2 camp 2 bk out after the dry run n promised us 2 hav 1 off in return 4 goin 2 the dry run. I was like aiya y giv me offs. I hav alreadi 2 much offs n leaves 4 me 2 clear finish liao. Y nt give me duty points instead!

N tat AOH will burn me the wkend after AHM... Army open house is frm 30-2 sept @ Pasir Laba Camp n everytime there will b live firin performance 4 VIPs n civilians. Unfortunately i will oso b performin..... Like wth... Got 2 wear tat stuffy coverall n put on camo cream again... Haizz... Wkend burnt they will sure assure u wif offs again. Aargh so much offs 2 clear n yet u still wan 2 add some more. The more u add the more miserable i will feel when i c those earned offs go dwn the drain s i cannot clear finish. Y nt replace the offs wif duty pts instead? Pls 2 the VIP who is readin tis: PLS dun giv me anymore wkend duty liao. Look @ my plight nw. U can laff @ me but dun giv me wkend duty.... Sian...

Anw nxt time dun learn 2 cook by simply lookin @ the recipe of the prdt u buy. Tat jeremy bought lasagne pasta n followed the recipe @ the back 2 cook. I helped him out n ended up the lasagne turned out 2 b watery. Ha wad a failure lor. Hweva @ least we learnt hw 2 make the cheese sauce who tasted veri nice.

Yawn abt 80 days 2 ORD n my offs n leaves is almost half of it. Hw 2 clear....

Oh great nw most of the pple in my bunk call me teddy. Damn it i realli hate it. Sound so 2pid, gayish n weakling. Machiam i veri soft like cotton... Thx 2 tat 2pid daren who started wif the 2pid name 4 me... Everyday try 2 act gay n disturb ure neighbours wif ure LUMMY LUMMY chant, wad KE AI rubbish n daily hug rubbish... Ha u n ks wah tapuleh tahan. Nw worse even tat king kong call me teddy... Guess the upcomin ORD video 4 the commanders can c new nicks appearin bside my names.... Eh pple look @ the 2 pics below. Honestly, do i look like them? No rite. Ha I m definitely no pushover like those plushies which sole purpose is to let pple hug.

Sian recently heard tat pple wif offs n leaves tat adds up 2 20 plus days high chance of unable 2 clear finish all. There r quite a no of commitments 2 do n thus we wont hav much time 2 clear our off. All these offs r rewards given due to the effort n time we sacrifice 4 some of our trng. Initially tot the more the merrier. Nw it is different. Wad's the use of havin so much offs but end up u cant clear finish all. Wad a waste rite. Ha tik they shld compensate us wif $$ ba 4 such losses.

Last wk we were informed tat ATI needs 2 tank spec 2 attach 2 TCC 2 go taiwan 2 b instructors. Go there realli song. Everytime juz follow the trainees n den kb them. Plus u can hav free air tickets n free tour in taipei n hotel 2 stay 4 3D2N. However u got 2 put up wif alot of live firing exercise n mayb tai feng. Initially, me mz n cs were realli excited by tis. Hweva, we realised tat onli 2 can go n 1 will stay 2 ta all the shits or even more shits when my "best fren" is arnd doin his "urban camouflage n givi out orders 2 do his wrk. Eventually, we decided nt 2 go n let other coy send pple 2 go.

Tis wk n nxt wk i will takin the ACCT course. Wah everytime muz breakfall n fight n shout wif aggression "YA! YA! YA!", tryin s much s possible 2 b a bruce lee wannabe. Wah last wk do until i neck pain back pain. Den suay suay i nvr bring salon pas in camp 2 paste when i slp @ nite. CS is my sparrin partner n everyday we will train n practice all the techniques accordin 2 the instructors' instructions. He veri cooperative xcept 4 2 occassions. He didnt hold onto my collar tightly 2 lessen the impact of me fallin on the grnd despite doin a breakfall. Wah the impact realli made me cough out all the air in my lung! Mayb tat's the retribution for me for nt pullin PS jackson hard 4 breakfall, resultin him cough out air oso... Nxt wk gradin liao hopefully can pass.

Finally got my passport replaces but @ the expense of waitin abt 3 hrs 2 get tat passport in SIR... Ha 1st step 2wards goin taiwan. Anw by oct or nov i will start my drivin practical provided i pass by BDT or FDT lor. 88 more days 2 ORD. Happy of coz but oso fan nao. Got 2 go out find job 2 sustain my current situation n driving...
