FISH FOR THE CLOUDS !

ARMY (yet again)

Well, i was on my way home from candy's place and waiting for the bus reminds me of the countless times i waited for cabs at the same very place b4 i book in to my "beloved" kranji camp.

I left off my blog regarding my BMT a few months ago . Suddenly, i felt a desire to blog about my 41 SAR days. So just skip SISPEC n SOA for now eh.

After POP-ing from Gedong , the new specialist posted to 41 have this finale event where we have to run from Sungei Gedong camp to kranjie camp. The event took place at night and it was still vivid in my mind. Everyone was thinking "wat the shit la, POP , 3SG already still have to get tekan"

Good things was that the CO of 41 , LTC kenneth liow came and run with us too. It made us feel special and not some kind of gruelling punishment. As we started running , we pass by the FIBUA village , the kranji reservoir ETC ETC. It was as though we are leaving all these SOA-ish memories behind and WE SURE DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK ! ( Gedong is the most ulu place u can ever be posted to in SAF )

Upon arriving at kranji camp, the whole Batalion waited for us and cheered as though it was some kind of disco party. ( they use L-torch for the light effects, ya i know, lame ). Then we have this HOGWARTy SORTING HAT thingy. 5 companies, HQ Glory Falcon Hawk Shrike. Alas , Fate has got me , i was the only Armour infantry Spec being posted to Shrike coy ( a.k.a SP ) . I was jaw-dropped. WHY ? why separate me away from all my A.i. friends. We chiong together in the past but now we're separated.

Cpt Kenneth ( my oc ) greeted me first and i actually felt quite bad that the whole company have to be involved in this event just to welcome their one n only AI spec. ( felt important =) ) But, i also saw Jiande who is my SISPEC section mate and BMT platoon mate. He is in the mortar platoon. Ya, different vocations in one company. So then i know i was my OC vehicle commander since SP OC uses bionix and they need a spec. I also bao ka the hq platoon n admin.

The job was really challenging as i really hated admin work. Most of the the time , i will be in office helping ( actually is i do all ) my csm with her mails and oc with training programmes and doing the fucking BUC for the whole company. Speaking of BUC, I really hate that job. Everytime finish IPPT / SOC / ICCT / Range, i have to prepare detailing tabulate results n submit results. It's a shit job that no NSF should take. ya , but i also not bad , i keep recruiting all the PES C personnel in my company to be clerks to do those shit for me. I also got my BX drivers to help me ta those shit. I have to say one of the BRONCO drivers , kenny , is damn zai in admin. Cut n paste objects like nothing like tat, all the hotkeys in the computer he also know.

Ya, that's how i escape from the admin work. What do i do besides admin ? i love to maintain my vehicle n take it for a "test run" haha. Just to confirm that it's still servicable . no la, test run is just a excuse , i love to drive it once in a while because it's the first vehicle that i learn how to drive ! My two drivers ( yes , tks goodness i've two drivers instead of 1 ) Winson n Ah boon very helpful in maintaining the vehicles. Winson is so zai now that after he ORD, he's working for STK servicing for bionix. =). Ah boon take cares of my OVMs ! Not to forget that we've a signaller MANDEEP ! haha, the Canadian-wanna-be signaller. I must also point out he's also an expert in his field. Voice procedures n Setting up of PRC 947 is the best !

When operational period comes n all the outfield keep coming in , all this vehicle crew of mine + the OC runner will work till late to prepare maps n charts . The storemen n CQ will help us prepare goodies n food for the vehicle =). hahaha . After that, we'll go nearby to food court to have supper. This kind of bonding i'll never find anywhere else.

This is what the instructors tell us about units. Suffer and Enjoy together.

During outfield, most of the time , we just set up charts, do camoflauging, Set up make-shift tentage, get-fucked by CSM, eat good food, taxi OC ard. ya, that's what we do . THE HQ platoon.

Apart from outfield, 41 SAR is not all about suffering ( ok maybe only sp coy ) , we have lots of cohesion programmes ! know what that means. yes, going to sentosa , orchard road for LAN, Pulau ubin treasure hunt, SAF Chalet. so many till i lost count. Where in SAF can u find this . SHIOK.

all that seems to pass damn fast, n it was CPT Kenneth ( my oc ) who was posted out n CPT jeffrey took over.i must say i must have missed cpt kenneth a lot because as a person i really respect him. He's those kind of person who really cares for his soldiers and dun play rank. Tat's why he deserve the respect of the HQ platoon . He say wat even burn weekend we also do for him. HQ platoon ! Dustinpan and brooms !

well , ahem, things was a bit diff with cpt jeffrey, really have a lot of fucking from him in Ex wallaby in aust. Tat was the first time i went outfield with him. I dunno whether is it because Major james was with us or wat, but the amt of fucking i have in that 4 day 3 night ATEC was comparable to my whole army experience. all the men felt also very low morale in australia. Cos the amount of preparation is crazy for wallaby. Charts n maps fill the vehicle. In the end, it was over, n i was so glad cos there's no more outfield for me anymore after tat.

During LRI period just b4 i ORD, the vehicle crew also endured together with me painting , cleaning all the OVMs and vehicle. I must say it's quite shiong also . but was worth it for the amt of offs =)

41 is not a place but a family i will always remember

ARMY ( 140104 - 130306 )

Army is 2 yrs 2 months but i've got shit loads to say about it than jc.

So i shall blog about it in 4 parts so that i can recall what happen in my army daze. But hell i sure don't miss it =).

Of cos the big four parts of NS for me is BMT, SISPEC, SOA, Unit 41sar

BMT

After A levels, i bet all guys that enlist in Dec/Jan sure have this shitty feeling. The day of enlistement. We really hate the girls. Why the hell the governement give so much benefits to the girls ???? NO NS and 8 months of long holiday. 8 MONTHS ! Really jealous, i dun think that i can ever have that kind of lobo/slack period in my life. ya, 140104 was a big day for me. Before i entered i have a vague impression of wat army is like : PUSH UP, WAKE UP EARLY, AREA CLEANING, PT ..ETC

So the first day started off quite bad. We were enlisted at 2 pm. By the time all the oath taking , saying goodbye to your parents it was already 5 pm. I was posted to Hawk company We were brought to the training shed to collect our equipements and uniforms. At 7 plus when the sky was about to turn dark, we went to shave our hair bald. At the point in time, we were very lost as we still don't know which bunk we stay and we carried the heavy duffle bags ard. Shaving bald is a new experience. I WILL NEVER SHAVE MY HAIR BALD for whatever reason if not for army. Candy knows how much hair means to me =). It's like putting down your pride , your rebellious behaviour away. ( NO, i did not cry ) . Okay enough of speaking about shaving the hair, after that we couldn't even bathe yet ! Still had PC interview. WTF, can u imagine the sweat and hair mixed together and sticking onto your CV clothes ?? sux man. 9 plus we were brought to our bunk and LIGHTS OUT straight away. Don't know whether the instructors were tekan-ing us or simply following the RO timing strictly. But either way, i didn'thave my bathe. Simply slept throu' the night with HAIR and SWEAT

Second day, i woke up early at 5 because i just simply couldn't sleep. I wasn't used to the environment. But i got to know my section mates and we chatted on our bed while lying down. It was a nice moment. Imagine strangers from different background but sleeping in the same room at the time. Where else can u have that kind of experience unless you're the kind getting yourself laid after parties (ha) My closest friend in BMT are kun yew, ee fai n song hui. i was bed 7 they are bed 8 5 and 6 respectively. So we were always together in a group. Water parade at the second day was a good experience also. don't understand why the army have to force water down your throat if u dun wan to drink. Isn't it like dunking ? Hated all the water parades. I always dun fill my water bottle completely.

BMT was all about perfecting marching drills, cleaning weapon area cleaning ( although i dun recall we did much area cleaning after breakfast, always go back n sleep !) and of cos outfield. OUTFIELD was fun for me for both 7 day field camp and SIT TEST. the 7 days field camp i became very close to songhui. He couldn't really built the Basha ( spelling ?) so i always have to built it myself. damn taxing but we supported each other throughtout the whole thing. I can remember the times we were doing prowling duty at the field camp site simply just toking about our lives. Whenever either of us want to shit/pee , we will always accompany each other. * damn gay* . Ya, it's throu' him that i managed to survive the 7 day field camp. I did argue and almost broke into a fight with another section mate. It was because i was shag or wat, he kick my ass and i just punch him somewhere *guess* . natural reaction . then He wanted to carry on the exchanges but our section mate pull us apart and put us at different ends of the "section movement". After the whole field camp, we did apologize to each other also ( AWWWWW !) SIT test was nothing much except fuckin lots of WAYING. I for one can't take wayang. I just kept a low profile throughout the whole thing but managed to pull off a sucessful mission ( think that's why i became a commander). During PC interview, i told my PC tat i didn;t want to go SISPEC but fuck. think he want to play me so there i went SISPEC. But field camp made me appreciate things a lot more. LIKE the toilet in your homes, the shit-y food my father cooks, the air con in my room, the bed, the lights ....etc . I simply think that my bunk was heaven after the FULL 7 day field camp ( eyes on to DELTA RECs , i will forvever remember your pizza dinner )

Well, after those two high key excerise, i got to play a lot of soccer in BMT with my instructors and they were very nice ppl. My platoon sergeant was tearful when he left us in outfield as he got posted out to Infantry unit as we were his last batch and that we were special t0 him. It was also an incredible archievement for me to complete the 24 km although i have to admit that HAWK field pack was not standard ( ahem ..... ) . my legs were wobbly after the 24 k. heard a few company mates said that they saw something following us throughout the march. but i didn;t see anything . Speaking of which , we also had this shadow figure pass by section 3 bunk every monday. Whenever someone rushes out to see what's the figure it disappears again. Strange ....

Special thing to note is that i actually was one of the guards with ee fai when the Tekong Robbers were ard. Cool eh. We were protecting the school when they were having games day.

So ya, that's it for what i have to say about BMT. It's all about friendship and bonds

Pictures

how u spell record. U REC I ORD !

song hui !

section mates

WISDOM TOOTH = BLOOD = PAIN LIKE @#$

My mother say i should remember this day so she took these photos. A painful experience i will never forget.

EATING AT THE CLUB

FOOD WAS GREAT !

OUT OF THE PAN , NOT

She doesn't like it. but i find it ok

WELL, today was driving again. Instructor was quite good. He touch-up a lot of my weak areas and i managed to correct those mistakes. And i get to try the express way and move all the way to pasir ris. =)

After driving , my mum drop me off to bugis junction to meet up with her. yea, ate at sakae sushi and we got some free salmon sushi becos of *secret*. ok la it was some cock up by the staff but heck it. Then, shop ard for lq present. While shopping, we encountered a lot of Laselle ( spell check) fashion students and they wanted to take picture of my strip clothes which i bought from australia. Ha, collar + strips is the next big thing.

Also got a photo of her looking ridiculouly ugly. like ah mah. but shouldn't post it her otherwise she will kill me.

Recently, all my enteries are photos because i want to change the theme of my blog. i want my blog to be memories of pictures instead of words. Pictures always speak louder and clearer. But there's no nice pictures to take now =( . i really want that Nikkon camera now

DRIVING

Went driving today, saw Johanathan and another friend there . only for 6 more months to get a license. Wanna faster pass so i can drive ! Driving is really fun. At first got some problem with the clutch and stuff but now master already and can finally drive outside to test 3rd Gear. More interesting to drive outside the circuit. Well, going to book a lot of lessons now ....

INITIAL D !

FAVOURTIE FOOD

One part of me feels all romantic again, love passion and everything

The other army part of me says " Stop being A PUSSY "

STREET SOCCER COURT

Yes, there are building a street soccer court near my place. FINALLY after all these years of running away from the police when we play soccer, they made us a street soccer court. Great news.

I lost count on how many days left to ORD, maybe at most 13 working days left.

counting n counting
