A half-dead Blog collecting Digital Dust

A lot has change since I last post. Obviously NS is sapping away all the time I usually spend doing practically-nothing-and-update-the-blog-once-in-a-while. I just came back from Taiwan for “holiday” and can you believe I spend only 10,000NT (S$450) 1 month in Taiwan. Unbelievable!? Taiwan holiday? Ha-ha

NOT Exercise Starlight

A little update about what I went through so far. It seemed that the last post I was talking about Armor Live Firing. Those were during the early stages of my Armor Conversion Course. Then we had the CAT (Combine Armed Term) where we (those who went through SISPEC) gathered together for a Passing-Out-Parade.

CAT period was really the best time we had in NS. We wake up late. Walk (not march) lazily to the cookhouse for our breakfast. Return to bunk. Continue sleeping… The following week, we returned to Armor and prepare for (gulp*) field camp. Right after field camp is… Taiwan “holiday”… OMGosh. 1 month “holiday”!?!? I sure missed home and Sandra (^-^)

The grand finale of Armor Conversion Course is our other POP, codename: Open House (Don’t be so formal, come and chill and hang around and look see look see).

“Don’t bring too many people,” and so they said.

“If everyone bring more than 2 people, there will not be enough seats…blah blah blah…”

“I will do random check to see if YOU GUYS bring more than 2 parents/gf/bf. No choice, we have to control the crowd… oink* oink* oink*…”

Let’s work out the formula of the turnout :- (Total number of parent expected to come)*2 – [Unforeseen circumstances + Not compulsory + Early saturday morning + YAAE (Yet-Another-Army-Event) + Can't decide who to bring (might as well don't bring any)] = FULL HOUSE!!! = Those who bring any more than 2 person will BE PUNISHED!!!

They are RIGHT! Oh man! Some of parents will not have seats and have to stand outside =(

Don’t messed with the Inciks. Confinement comes easy, and go… minus 1 weekend.

Marching In proudly

“We the soldier… marching in… lalalala… Eh wait! Why are there so many empty seats? Wait! The auditorium is half-filled only!? Must be my eyes playing trick on me. The Inciks are never wrong.”

Well… It’s good. At least no marching under the hot sun and turn ‘chao tar’.

And my blog always ends with a Bang, don’t they?

Boo! We are the Retards!

Even though I can smell burning (weekends) during my Live Firing of our armoured vehicle, it’s a pretty good experience.

I was appointed the ammo ic we had less than 5 hours of sleep for the past 3 days.

The only thing I’m worried during this live fire is that if I misfired, I might get confinement this saturday (my birthday celebration). So thanks god, everything went well ;)

Being in army, really deprived me from the outside world. I can’t surf net like I used to or chat with my friends thru msn.

Blogging content is also very limited as everything that happen here is considered classified.

My blog has being inactive since I passed out from BMT (Basic Military Training). I’ve spent 2 months in SISPEC (School of Infantry Specialist) and now I’ve being posted to AISL (Armor Infantry Section Leader).

Armor vocation is the 2nd toughest (Infantry being the 1st). Of course I am jealous of friends who has being posted to SIGNAL and MP (Military Police), but I believe God has His plan and reason to put me in Armor.

Ever though I am reluctant to go through the tough period of being an Armor Infantry, since I have no choice, I might as well do a good job.

I also appreciate the constant support from friends, family and especially my darling, 5and. Without you guys, I might not be able to go through this phase of life.
