Platoon Cohesion Day

Okays, well i have not been updating my blog for quite some time due to
1) BUSYNESS and also..
2) LOWDTNB (Lost Of Words Due To Long Time Nv Blog) Syndrome.

So, first of all, got my posting 1 wk ago. And my fate is sealed. Gedong will be my “home” for the remaining 1 yr 7 mths. Life in Gedong isn’t that gd.. everyday got work to do, do and do.. until so tired and so dirty.. really.. and finally its HSH (home swt home) time. BUT, sometimes might have to OT if cant finish work on time.. so.. gotta prepare.. especially nxt month, which is the HIGH KEY period, will get loads of OT and loads of BUSYNESS until i can’t even imagine..

Anyways, yesterday was my Platoon Cohesion Day held at the SAF Changi Seaview Resort.. a very nice chalet with a beautiful seaview.. its really good to stay there with ur family frens and loved ones.. So ytd was good but not really THAT good, cos of the company.. it was kinda boring actually during OTOT.. nth to do.. just talk cock and walk about by ur own self. No lah, with my OETI section mate.. the one who got posted tgt with me, Sushi. So ytd me and sushi were mostly by ourselves while the rest of them were in their groups doing things together such as PSP-ing, Talk cock-ing, Mahjong-ing and Dai Dee-ing.. actually i wanna play Dai Dee and Mahjong de.. but they play money.. and some more its very big.. so u can win big or lose even bigger! Therefore i nv play..

At ard evening time, BBQ and Steamboat for dinner.. ate many foods.. chicken wings, satay etc etc.. then after that all the BIG SHOTS came at atd 8pm.. OTOT again until 9 plus.. they called us 2 OJEs down to drink.. Master DJ is really pro in drinking.. keep drinking non-stop.. then ask me and sushi to drink as well.. So we drank under forced circumstances.. lol, one glass.. Guess wad was it? It was HARD LIQOUR (CHIVAS) + Coke! Fortunately the coke was more than the Chivas.. so still ok.. when i drank it at first it tasted BITTER.. VERY VERY BITTER … then got that BURNING SENSATION inside the stomach.. after that i feel a bit giddy and went upstairs to rest.. fortunately nth happened.. i didn’t have a hangover or sth. :) At ard 10pm, we had a celebration for the DEC BABIES and ORD Personnels.. log cake! I want to eat.. but nv get to eat.. lol.. Then aft that GIFT EXCHANGE.. i got a very gd gift! yay.. and finally 1030, some of us make our way home… take 29 to Tamp Int and then take mrt all the way home..

I guess thats all.. no pics as i have no camera.. sadly.. so BYEBYE!

Goodbye OETI!

Today is officially the End Of Course day for me in OETI. So fast... time really flies. Still rmbing when i first came to OETI, i rly abhored the place.. its old, dirty, looks haunted... how can it be a "heaven" for ppl? But now, i truly feel that it is really "heaven" and i rly cant bear to leave the place, and the staff sgts and instructors.. they are all nice ppl.

Tmr will receive the posting result, its either gedong or kranji. Most likely its a stay-in. Really dunno where i am gg to go. Just hope it is a good one and got a few good or close ppl same unit as me that will be gd enuf. Cos its gg to be for 1 yr 7 mths! Its definitely a decision for life as to where i will be and what kind of live i will be living for the rest of the 1 yr 7 mths of my life in ns.

Passing out also means that i am now a qualified technician, but i know i am not.. Even if ask me to go repair vehicle now, i will still struggle with a question mark on my head. But the fact is im already a qualified technician... ah well.

Next is my relationship with the rest of the trainees. Overall, i would say i have a moderate kind of relationship with them. Still not very close yet. I guess its just hard for me to click with them not knowing what to say at times. I tried very very very hard to be like "one of them" but i still dun seem to be "one of them".

'Nuff said...

Life is hard.. gotta move on to the next chapter of life.

If i had a choice, i'd rather not be born into this world so i wun have to experience all these bitterness that im experiencing now.

Im back to blog... not becos i want to, but becos im bored.. lol.

Seem to have lost my passion for blogging these days...

So anws, i'll begin with wad i did for the weekends..

Saturday (5th Dec 09)

Met up with cao at cine, firstly i hitched a ride from sis's fren as they also gg town. So kian drove us to orchard but along the way got heavy jam... then while we were abt to park at centrepoint, got 1 car infront of us were waiting for the ppl to cross before parking so we waited... and waited... the car still dun wan to move.. wth.. kian angry liao go horn the car then the car moved! lol.. i bet it must be a woman.. haiz. After that, i alighted at centrepoint and walked to cine to meet cao. And thats where some problem occurs.

I called cao but his fone was off.. so i went to cine and searched everywhere for him.. sounds crazy right? Yeah.. it was abt time where i realised my efforts were futile and wanted to give up searching when i suddenly had an idea to go online.. so immed i went online using wifi and saw him.. msg him where is he and then he replied.. aft tat i found him! Thank god! If not we wun be able to meet up already. So anws, met up le but he said he ate alrdy and gg to go home soon.. so he acc me to have dinner before leaving.

Aft he left le, i went to somerset 313 for a walk.. and thats where i called my frens, aim and alvin separately. And in the end i met up with aim first at 313.. a very short but quality meet up. Soon, aim left when alvin came so left me and alvin. It was already 1130pm by then, the shops all closing. Actually alvin wanted to come to visit 313 and shop there but all the shops closed already.. he came a bit too late but nvm.. we went to walk ard.. then to cine again.. ended up at the kopitiam opp cine where we had some supper at Botak Jones. I ate the mini-me fish n chips.. not bad! Had some quality fellowship too.. after tat took NR5 home.

Thats it.. a topsy-turvy day.. but ended up nicely.

I guess tats all.. nth to blog abt le.. bb!

Just felt kinda sad for a moment, although im hiding it with a poker face.

Its all about the posting.. worried loads abt it.. next wk is my passing out day. Really dun wish for that day to come, but somehow it will still come. Can only pray that the unit posting is a gd one.

And somehow, also can't bear to leave the whole platoon.. after like close to 2 mths spent with them.. and also the sgts too.. i truly agree that unit sgs arent better than oeti's. Oeti sgts really put lots of love and effort into teaching, but unit sgts will just give u a "F" to ur face.

Haizzzzzzz.... perhaps im just too emotional.. i rly can't bear to leave the place and everyone else.. The awaiting really sucks.. The feeling of not knowing where ur gg sucks even more.

I dun have the mood to do anything now.. Will be gg to church later. Hope God can come ease my heavy and burdened heart.

Ytd was our Cohesion Day.. it was held at Chevrons.

First, we had our bowling game as planned.. then its free and easy period. Went to imm to have lunch and walk walk a bit before going back to chevrons again for our next event which was... the singing competition!

Went to Zes Disco which was the location where the event was held. Inside really like a music pub.. nice environment.. Everyone was sitted in groups and preparing for the event. And guess who were the judges?? They were the staff sgts, sgt, 2ic and pc! Wooooahh~!


After the long hiatus

So long never blog already, either too busy to blog or dunno wad to write at all. I seemed to have lost touch with the blogging world.

Okay anws, poooom~ its finally the end-of-course-period for me in oeti. How time flies!! The 2 mths long term spent in oeti is already coming to an end. So by the end of course, all of us are considered "qualified technicians". But... i feel i aint ready yet, just like most ppl do. There is just too much to learn and its hard to absorb everything. Anw, i can roughly tell among the whole platoon, some are very skilled, some are average skilled and some poorly skilled. I guess im somewhere between the average and poorly skilled. Oh wells~

As for the weekends, some were merry gd times spent with friends while some were just boring times slacking or rotting at home. Significant events were~

- Prawning session with cg at Pasir Ris Park
- Chilling out at Clark Quay with friends till late
- Movies with cg and camp mates respectively
- Catching up with old friends

Yup...

Oh yes.. din rly want to say it, but i had a BAD BAD BAD experience ytd morning.. While i was on the way to camp on a "toyota crown", i took out my hp to see the time and left it on the seat. And after alighting, i forgot to take it! It was only when i tried to take out my hp from my pocket that i realised it was missing.. and at that time it was only abt 20 mins till fall in timing.. i was real panicky.. din noe wad to do. Luckily i paid by NETS so i got a receipt which got the cab id. Thus, i borrowed a fone from a passer-by and quickly called the hotline and told them the prob. Fortunately, the driver was still ard the vicinity and haven fetch any passengers yet so he cud come back to return me my fone.. ALAS!! I got my fone back.. whew... but paid another 6 bucks for the extra trip.. but thank god i got my fone back!! It was truly a terrifying experience to lose the fone.. the other time i lost an umbrella.. so wells, next time im not gonna leave anything behind again.. Was so glad i managed to retrieve my fone...

Alrights...

Tmr is our 2nd and most prob final cohesion day before course ends.. yeah, and there's a karaoke singing competition among ourselves.. most of us took part in it for fun and experience. Well, kind of nervous singing in front of a large grp of ppl.. after such a long time of not doing so... its kinda scary.. but anws, hope everything runs smoothly tmr, and that the ktv got the song i wanted.. Rang Wo Zhao Gu Ni (let me take care of you) by Zhang Yun Jing.. Its a very nice song.. so im gonna sing it!!

Okays, gotta go already~ not much time to slp.. tmr's gonna be a long day!
