apologies to all! i know that i have not been blogging so here's 1 more entry for u.

feel that i am actually quite blessed in camp. haha. well, because last week my platoon was involved in ex swift arrow. it was a course for the officers to learn tactics about warfare. i was paired up with rayner to man radio comms for 1 group of them. we went there on mon morning but was told to back to camp to rest cuz it was juz a planning phase and so came back again on tues. once our job had ended that evening, i was pleased again to be asked to go back camp to rest. our next duty was on wed nite 8pm and was expected to end at 4am. all of us were happie with e rest and had no qualms about staying up till dat time. but e twist to it all was e ex ended at 12 plus. i mean i cant believe it! by e time we packed up n stuff, i was on my bed at 330am. hahaa. and the officers that we are attached to are quite comical n funny. feel so relaxed.

was e driver too. drove a few times from mandai hill camp to ocs. felt quite shiok and happy that i was more confident in driving le. hahaha.

anyway, this week was supposed to be a rest week for my platoon cuz the ex this week candence. we are not involved, initially dat is. then came on tues the news that we are involved. i mean luckily it is in our own camp but i cant believe our job scope! we are supposed to sit by the telephones and when the telephones rang, we were supposed to take down e msg and passed them to e officers involved. BUT most of the time, e callers wanted to speak to the officers themselves! and e worse thing is i still have to ask them for e msg so that i can write them down for ref in e futurre if needed. i mean this is so STUPID! cant e officers ans e phones by themselves? arrrgggghhh. e army! luckily i only did on tues nite till wed morning. dats all. ( for ur info, e ex is nt over yet n sum of my frens are still by e phones! )

politics is such a big word! love-hate relationship with it seems to be always there. talk about this guy called N. he got posted into our camp together with e 8 of us. he is e only 1 who got A1 for gp in his A levels. n he is good in talking. as in talking in any sense and any realm. but i tink he is cunning. and wants e best for himself. he flirts with our superiors until they like him. he always volunteer when volunteers are needed.( that i appreciate A LOT) he does most of the things for reasons. like helping out in e stores and hit it out with the store people and master mary but realised that he cld nt be a storeman and so disappear from there. n just recently, he went to taiwan with 3 of my other friends together with our commanders for ex. he shared e same room with our paltoon commander. and started to bootlick. and he licked tille boots are so shiny till u can see ur teeth mark on it. n e worse is he said bad things about e 3 of them in front of him! i mean if u are our friends, u should support us and defend for us if need be. hypocrites, backstabbers just go away! he has not stepped on my toes yet but i dunno when e day will come.

n e thing about him recently is that i tink he knew about our responses and so slid back quietly. but i am still quite pissed at him. there was this day when our sgt asked for 4 volunteers. mi, rayner and don raised up our hands leaving juz 1 more. i juz stared at N since i knew he will definitely raised up his hand. but i tink his hand is juz too heavy or wad, take so damn bloody long to raise. he had to look around and hesitate dunno for wad reasons den raise up his hand. by the time it was too late and our sgt had to punish those who din volunteer. i mean dun act la. in my opinion, when any commander asked for n volunteers, n-1 hands are needed to be raised cuz e nth hand will definitely be his. so why act? juz raise up ur bloody hand la!

btw, he is 1 of e ugly ones who accepted and held on to all 3 local uni. nus-law. ntu-mass comm. smu-double degree. period.

anyway on a lighter note, haiz yes i have been going for facial to cure my acne problems and yes i noe it is not cheap. all my friends who knew have been laughiing at me. sighz. cant be bothered to argue with u guys, hahhaha. juz felt that it is personal hygiene la and no i m nt metrosexual. and feel that in time to come, when i have the other half i cannot be so selfish as to not take proper care of my hygiene rite? not fair to her la. hahahahhaa.
