NAVY ah.....

Suay once again!

2005-03-25T01:15:00.000+08:00

3 days of madness!
Wednesday, i was driving minibus to TUAS, then my friend call me
then civilian complain loh, talk on hp while driving, tio 7 weekend extra..... This was on the same day as my previous entry, as my previous entry also got talk about this..... Hiaz!

Thursday, i was at sembawang camp, driving the same minibus
because raining very heavily, then inside very blur, never realise the drain no cover
then front left wheel fall in..... End up go army side lent 1 jack and pple from NDU come over to help, thus with a combine army and navy effort, my minibus is saved!

Friday, go some camp near MINDEF, suppose to be secret..... I was driving 5-ton and exiting the premise, because of 1 honda civic park on my left, end up i have to eat more to right, then bua tio the concertina wire, canopy torn.....tio 1 weekend extra..... but still dunno need to pay anot.....

The following monday, i tio bua until very jia lat, all together think write 6-7 statements in a day! The danger of going detention baracks looming.....

Then two saturdays ago, tio recall, to drive navy pple who tio mobolise from tanah merah mrt station to changi naval base..... I 11.45am got the phone call, telling me, 1.45pm must report.....
Then work until 10pm, midnight then reach home, hiaz, shag ah!
Something happen in between, around 3pm+, while i was driving a 5-ton to my camp. I was on the right lane, on the left lane got 1 lorry stopped there, and just behind it, got another taxi, both stationary..... Suddenly the taxi try to make a illegal u-turn, and because the opposite direction got vehicles moving, the taxi was force to stop horizontally from my 5-ton, forcing me to e-brake! End up, out of the 9-10 pple i carrying, 2 injure, go hospital. 1 got a 2 day MC for finger or hand injuring, another got 5 day MC for calf fracture! Hiaz, make me feel bad.....

AM I BEING CURSED?

Blue bra.....

2005-03-02T23:44:00.000+08:00

Last friday, my detail was to collect things from both MINDEF and Tuas naval base for the salvation army, basically is collect things that pple dun want and wants to donate to salvation army. When at Mindef, nothing happen, but when reach tuas naval base, someone ah, hiaz actually intend to donate a blue bra, i only realise when i take the plastic bag to my 1.5 ton
and when i throw it inside, the bra fall out! Wah kao, nm i thought when i go salvation army, the guy from there will clear.

End up, when i reach there, the guy from salvation army also act blur, after clearing almost everything liao, he leave the bra and a few piece of clothings unclear, hiaz end up i have to do the dirty job, i bundle the bra, in bewteen the last few clothings left there, and just throw inside the collection bin...... The pple who donate the bra ah, so inconsiderate..... I mean where got pple want to buy 2nd hand bra.....

Then last sat ah, sO SUAY ah, must be because of the previous day the bra lah..... i friday help pple do duty, then sat have to wait for 1 bastard to come take over duty, ok normal timing is 8am change pple, but because he got detail, so i have to wait for his detail end, ok so i 12noon go back to see if his detail has ended, go back liao, saw him. He say end liao, but have to go top up diesel, then ah, by normal standard ah, 1 hour surely can come back 1, so i go back do duty, then that bastard ah, when i 1pm go back by right should be he top-up finish liao, can take over duty liao..... BUT that bastard still haven go top-up, 1 to sabo me, because my camp last bus to go out is 1.30pm, then the next 1 is 9.30pm..... I tulan, just go home, then he also dilly dally, 3+ then go report for duty, end up tio fuxk, then monday go complain, then i tio..... He cb right? Or is i too chong dong liao?

Today ah, saw 2 things.....1st, when on my way to tuas naval base, along AYE, at jurong town hall road exit, got 1 bastard, i think he dunno the way lah, he was at 2nd lane from the right, i was at 3rd lane from the right then that bastard when reaching the jurong town hall road exit, suddenly from his lane jump to the lane on my left, i end up have to e-brake, luckly manage to stop in time, if not i die liao, heart attack ah!

2nd, after that say a dead cat, smashed in my lane, from far i see, i thought is rubbish, then go near liao..... No appetite to eat dinner liao, normally see rat smash up quite horrible liao, imagine a fat cat..... everything also come out liao.....

Oh!

2005-02-08T22:25:00.000+08:00

For the first time in my life, saw a aircraft carrier, and i mean real life, not from some picture or tv show or movies..... That ship ah, damn big, plus all the planes on top of the ship, making it look even more impressive.....
Somemore when u see it at night, with some lights on it, make the ship look very very nice man, a pity they only come for 4 days.....

But in another way also heng they come 4 days only, because they come on last sat, and only go off on new year eve, thus if they stay any longer, that's mean we new year have to have go back camp liao, because the aircraft carrier is use nuclear reactor 1, then whatever ship that use nuclear reactor 1, will need to have 2 drivers at the base at all times as standby(as though the ship explode we still alive like that.....)

Then SAF finally recognise my contribution liao, promote me to lance corporal, actually nothing to be proud of, but pay got increase a bit lah($20) better than nothing right.....

Tired.....

2005-02-05T01:25:00.000+08:00

Nowadays easily get tired, i think is because i sleep too little, normally sleep at 12 wake up at 5+..... But also no choice, camp too far.....
3 thailand ships had just reach, so dun be surprise if u see alot of thai sailors in town area.
Dunno what to write also.....
Hereby wish everyone HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!!!

SUAY!

2005-01-16T10:06:00.000+08:00

Just when i thought my life is getting a bit better for me.....
I get caught by MP(military policemen) for.....
vehicle commander forget to put on seat belt.....
Should not be a serious enough case for me to go DB(detention barracks), but i scare that my previous cases might go against me, like reckless driving, vehicle commander sleeping, lose SAF fuel card.....
I now very scare ah, if go DB then..... Hiaz!

Sianz and scare now.....

Tsunamis!

2005-01-04T22:10:00.000+08:00

I think everyone is being affected by the tsunamis in some way or another.....
For me it means a tragedy and more work.....
Sad because such a tragedy only bring hardship to pple whose life is already full of hardship.....
More work because the ships supplies are being driven by us.....
Especially the second ship that set off today, because it set off from our base.....
All the loading was very last minute, with the ship moving into the loading site only on monday..... Thus from monday they work throughout the night until tuesday morning, damn tiring, i even fall asleep inside my vehicle while waiting for my turn.....
Then tuesday after the loading completed, i need to go fetch those guests coming to send off the ship..... Hiaz, finally can go home to rest tonight liao, but the third ship will be setting off soon, in 1-2 weeks time, then we will be busy once again.....

Busy!

2004-12-17T14:04:00.000+08:00

Now is using camp PC to write blog, busy until no time to write at home.....

Hmm so fast friday liao, hiaz, when u are busy, time pass faster.....

On sunday reach camp at 8am, then whole day there switch between channel U and 8. Whole day do nothing, sianz, only waste my time.....
Saw a lot of TV, like zheng qin, star awards etc.....

Monday morning 5.45am need to wake up, because 6.15am need to fetch pple go pasir laba camp take bullets, and grenades, actually is all fake 1..... Then spend my night at an abadoned housing estate at Neo Tiew rd, near lim chu kang cementries..... Dunno why pple want to live there in the past, there very inconvinent, go anywhere also ma fun.....

Tuesday wait until 5pm then the field camp end..... But i only reach my camp at 8pm! Because i still need to go back pasir laba camp return bullets and etc..... But the gd part is i wednesday off!!!!!
Hehe

Wednesday, did nothing much except slack at home and go my cousin house play PC, boring life right.....

Thursday, shag, they really is give 1 day off want me to work until die! I thursday and friday both day stay in. Thursday is because friday morning 7am need to send pple to SCDF for fire fighting lesson.....

Friday, 7am go, end up they 12 noon end liao, kao, might as well later then go..... Waste my time the previous night go home to take donation card(because last minute say must hand in on friday) then rush back to camp, because friday morning early detail so must sleep at camp..... Now at e-mart using PC, dun want to go back, because go back liao also do shit work..... Hiaz, tonight also do nothing then sleep liao 1.....

Why am i so suay?

2004-12-11T10:07:00.000+08:00

Hiaz, sianz sunday morning by 8am have to go back to camp, all the way until tuesday night then go home, if tuesday night too late reach camp, might end up wed evening then go home..... Hiaz because monday morning is send ammo to 1 field camp, then i also have to sleep there for monday night, go there feed mosquitos.....
But the most tulan part is sunday so early go back camp..... Sunday is such a special day for me, if u all know what day it is to me..... Anyway, if u are free on sunday or monday or tuesday, just give me a call, i will be very glad, because i go back camp is to be standby only, so is whole day do nothing 1.....

Anyway, that is not the only suay thing to happen to me, on tuesday when i was at sembawang camp, someone complain to my unit i was speeding! I was at most going 30km/h, but end up that road speed limit is only 15km/h..... So end up i tio warn, saying if i was caught speeding again, they will charge me! I think they only say say, but better dun try ah.....

On wednesday, i lost a SAF fuel card(basically a esso mobil station card)! Die liao, confirm sign extra until siao, then also have to make police report.....

On thursday, i forget to switch off headlights after off engine, tio complain by other unit pple, he at first say i got accident, tell me go see my vehicle, i go see liao then saw the headlights..... Hiaz, when i make my way back, my OIC say he will think of the punishment for me..... With so many problems altogether, i think i confirm tio extra liao..... HIAZ.....

WHY THIS WEEK SO SUAY!

Got play by sergeant!

2004-12-04T01:54:00.000+08:00

These 2 things happen to me on wednesday and thursday.....

1. On wednesday, 1 of my staff sergeant knowing i live in bukit panjang, wanted to help me on wed, because need to send 1 vehicle to Tuas, so he recommend i go, then agree liao, was suppose to be i go, then after lunch when they all go to meeting liao. 1 3rd sergeant, do stun, purposely dun let me go, change to another guy, cb. Make me fucking tulan, then somemore is 5 mins before the suppose time to go, then tell me, i even call my dad to pick me up later liao, end up have to call my dad again, to tell him the bad news.....

2. On thursday, first they give me a early detail of 7.45 am on friday, then never say i must stay in, so i just go home loh, then when i change liao, and take the feeder bus inside the camp to go out, they call me, tell me to stay in because they think i next day cannot make it in time, then i try to argue, then in the end i told them i go back to talk. On the way back, another guy call me, saying i have to go in 45 mins time to mandai to take pple back. By then i very tulan liao, they purposely forcing me to stay in loh, because by the time i back from mandai, is around 9pm liao, then next day 7.45am got detail..... I actually dun mind staying in, but i am angry at why they must use such ways to force pple.....

Hiaz, my unjust days!

On course!

2004-11-27T20:34:00.000+08:00

From 17/11 to 30/11, i'm on course, this course was suppose to teach u how to do simple maintainance on vehicles, but the reality is to go there to sleep..... Everyday for the past 8 days ah, i think at most i study 2 hours per day, got some day, even sleep the whole day and that is from 8am to 6.30pm..... Hiaz, come to think of it, the instructors really very easy to earn money also, most of the time missing 1..... Nm, i just left 2 more days to rest there. Go back my unit, means everyday sleep not enough liao..... Hiaz.....

Hmm, know my next month duty forecast liao, sianz, i tio duty on 2, 9, 18, 25..... For 2nd and 9th, still ok, because weekdays only from 4pm to next day 8.30am..... But 18th and 25th, sianz liao, because weekends time longer from 8.30am to the next day 8.30am, but not only that, the 18th i got 2 friends birthday, then 25th no need say, is christmas! Tulan!

Oli 96.8!

2004-11-07T19:53:00.000+08:00

To help u understand the ranking system in my side, i shall compare it to the commercial world.....

OIC = CEO
DSM = General Manager
Sergent = Manager

In case u wonder what does the title means, it's just a radio station which i think most of u would have never hear before.....

I have the "good fortune" to hear it everyday, sort of being force to by my OIC, because it's his favourite channel..... Then everyday as long as he is in office, he will want to listen to that channel..... Then as a show of his power, when he go to our resting corner, someone is expected to change the radio channel to that channel just for him, hiaz

Somemore he is now living like a king in my side, my all fall in at 8.30, if anyone fall in late have to write statement, while he only comes at 9..... Then worse of all he goes of before 4pm while we all have to wait until 5pm despite nothing to do..... Actually his rank in SAF is consider quite low, he only heng because we are only like branch, the headquarters is at Tuas, so no one can control him.....

Then now my side is just like a civil war, the CEO is alone; everyone is like his enemy, the rest is being force together by him, imagine the DSM is being scold in front of everyone by OIC, his face all dunno go where liao..... Thus when the top is on war, the bottom ah, all life also hard, because when the top is being fuck, they tulan, so chain reaction, the bottom get fuck for no reason..... This kind of life very hard to get by ah!!!!!

3 days of madness!

2004-10-14T19:35:00.000+08:00

Tuesday(5/10)
Pass my class 4 driving test, in order to take this test, i was suppose to pass the above mentioned 4 tests then can take..... Then i first time heng heng manage to pass the class 4 driving test! Really very high for the rest of the day! No longer need to get scolded by my instructor liao loh! Or should i say he had no reason to tulan me liao because i pass he got bonus for this month liao, believe to be $500!

Pushing Cars!

2004-10-03T14:10:00.000+08:00

SIANZ AH, i writing this 3rd time liao, previous 2 time dunno why loading got problem.....

Anyway, overall, still the same as the previous week.....

Only this week we got highway situational test(equivlant to advanced theory test), our test is basically push toy car on cardboards that have roads and road signs..... Total 5 questions, get 3 correct can liao.....

Very stupid loh, u imagine loh, a nearly 40 year old guy(the oldest in my group) doing that.....

Then even those with civilan license class 3/4 outside also fail this test..... What more to say pple like me who have totally no experience..... Sad.....

I fail, 0/3, but my tester is also cb 1, 15 pple go tested by him all fail,the other 25 the other tester take, at least got 9 pass loh..... Suey

Shag! Sianz! and overall tulan.....

2004-09-26T16:28:00.000+08:00

Really is nothing postive this week.....
From monday to wednesday, everything happen per normal. Normal meaning wake up at 5am, 6.30am take shuttle bus to kaki bukit camp,
8am start first lesson until 9.45am,
10.15am start 2nd lesson till 12pm,
1pm start 3rd lesson till 2.45pm and
3.15pm start 4th(normally last) lesson till 5pm

1 lesson will be theory, 1 will be parking, 1 will be driving and 1 will be simulator.....

Thursday, my eye got a bit of swollen, go see doctor, doctor say some gland which produce tears got infection, so give me 1 day rest in barracks.....

Friday, due to the fact i thursday never drive, they make me friday drive from 8-12, totally shag, and remain tired and shag the rest of the day, not really tired from driving, but more sick of being scolded for 4 hours straight..... After that i like cannot think anything liao.....

Then evening happen something that make me very tulan, after go back to bunk and bath and going to rest liao, someone report lose money and soccer betting winning tickets..... Got 1 smart alec, think he is damn smart, say is me and another guy take 1, just because we were the last 2 to fall in for night snack, u say tulan a not, even after i let him check me and the other guy cupboard he still not happy. Go back his bunk, he can still talk for 1 hr+ saying about me and the other guy, make me tulan and sad, tulan because nothing seems to be going for me, sad because, the 1 who lose the money and tickets was my friend, just because of what the smart alec say, he believe, hiaz.....

Class 4 driving course

2004-09-18T17:42:00.000+08:00

From dunno how to drive, to be able to drive on public road all in 1 week..... Hiaz in this 1 week, i think i got scold the most in my life so far, 2 hours daily.....
STRESS!!!!!
but looking on the bright side, at least i manage to pass the highway code test(basic theory) got 47/50, when the previous 3 times i take outside all fail.....

Hmm, found out something that quite surprise me..... To think we have "foreigners" also in NS!
During my course, i saw an ang mo, who was actually born in singapore and is a singaporean, but his family is from australia. Saw 1 chinese from china, he was 3 years younger then me, but he was already married! shocking sia..... Saw another mynamer guy and african(from america)..... Surprising to me, because when so many pple want to chao keng NS, they are actually willing to be singapore PR and serve NS when they can choose to immgrant to singapore later and siam NS.....

Visitors.....

2004-09-10T14:45:00.000+08:00

Yesterday and today, was assigned the task to paint a 8-ton lorry(class 4 size, those long long 1, normally no cover 1) wah, shag sia, my "head" wait until i nearly finish painting the cabin, then suggest using a crane to help me, hiaz, too late! paint until both of my hands become a diff colour from the rest of my body, no matter how i wash..... Took me a total of 10hrs + to finish painting this lorry..... Totally exhausted.....

While on my way home saw something quite funny, everytime another country navy ships come and visit our country, there will setup a table and chairs just outside our guard room, as 2 of their crews will be station there to help their crews enter our base.

Today got 4 tables there, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Malaysia and Australia..... All 4 same colour, white, maybe because all former colonies of UK, so maybe follow their colour. If not for their flags and big name tag, no one will know they are actually 4 diff countries..... Then the malaysians look the most fierce sia, dunno why. While the UK navy ah, look the most relax, got 1 white girl and 1 black guy, they 2 look more like students then soldiers, but ironcially, those who like students(UK navy), had actually just come over from iraq where they were fighting..... So looks does deceipt.....

Then the total number of visiting countries ships actually out number our ships, hiaz.....

3 weeks in the navy.....

2004-09-04T16:05:00.000+08:00

5-day week!!!!!

Great man, because if say sat need to go ah, i latest 6 must wake up, then 2+ then reach home, now no need go, i transport along save 5+ liao, time 8hrs+ liao, then la gi best, never extend weekdays working hours..... hehe So are u being affected too? Leave a message and let me know ah..... Hehe

So far every week go excursions, like primary or secondary students sia.....
1st week: go singapore history museum..... actually quite gd loh, because from there go home faster, then they also release us 1hr earlier, then can waste 1/2 day..... Hehe
2nd week: go macritche reservior..... siong ah, 5km "run", i think i at most is walk 4km, run 1km..... haha slack too much liao..... but they also release us 1 hour earlier, but quite tiring, and nearly fall sick, because just after the run got 1 heavy rain, hiaz, just run to the bus stop, i whole body wet liao.....
3rd week: go zoo..... hiaz, is family day, not bad lah, so long never go liao, go see loh, this 1 the best 1 so far, because is on sat, so the transport time i think manage to cut from 4 hrs to less then 2 hrs..... then somemore got free kfc 2 pcs chicken meal, nothing to complain liao..... hehe

In just 3 weeks, i think i saw the whole of singapore navy liao, and 4 other countries ships have visit us, for example, first week, saw japanese navy in their all white uniform, koreans in all brown. Second week, saw australian navy in dark blue, and this week saw US navy in dark blue too..... Not bad leh, and i still manage to see our submarines and if u remember, the navy 2-3 years ago got accident right? got 4 female crews pass away, the ship ah, they put in dry dock(meaning lift the whole ship from sea to put on land.....)

My shit workload is getting more and more, i think is because the other 2 trainees go training to learn how to maintain vehicles, then my duties became more and more, from going upstairs to use fax machine because ours is spoil, to painting a 8 ton lorry alone..... Getting more and more tired as the days go by.....

But receive the gd news on 6/9, that i 13/9 will be going for class 4 driving course..... until 16/10, the only sianz thing is stay in and sat then book out, hiaz.....

You have a chance of becoming very big.
You are extremely vigorous, and are strong both physically and mentally.

Under this power, you hide great ideas and are calculating all the risks.
This gives high success rate to your every action.
You don't get lost in emotions; you can analyze the circumstance calmly to make decisions. Never the less, you tend to lack snap decision makings, and therefore sometimes are unable to show your merits.
You are capable in many different areas, so sometimes be over confident.
You tend to be unclear on "taking moral responsibility".
And be influenced by easy decisions.
If your environment treats you indulgently, you ought to be careful.
You are independent occupational wise too.
You are too proud to lower head, so you are not suited in service industry.
But if you overcome this weakness, you may become a person of high caliber.
You are talented in academic and literary area.
If you can broaden and balance out your vision, there is high possibility that you may become famous in this area.
You are weak on paper work that requires preciseness.
Occupations like government officials which think highly of authority would suit you.

I asked, "What day?"
He reply, "Thursday"
I sianz liao, "NS leh, why leh got what?"
He asked, "Come for dinner....."
I puzzled liao, "Huh? What dinner? So special"
He reply, "Oh, my wedding dinner"

With that i stun in my mind for 1 minute, but i think i never show in my face ba. I think he know i stun, that's why he say, "no need think so much, shotgun marriage....."
Oh, that finally dawn light on the whole thing! Hiaz, very surprising for all of us loh, even though he and his gf been together for 4 years liao, they never look like they will get marry so soon(i think they also a bit no choice ba), then he actually was thinking of studying after NS, because he sort of got kick out of np, because of poor grades. Then now, i also dunno what will his plans will be for the future, but he will now have to think for his wife and child too, he use to be quite reckless and chong dong, hope he will change for the better.

Actually now, i think i still in a bit shock, haha, maybe is the first among my close friends to get marry, think of the time in secondary, when we take neoprints together, etc..... Seems just like yesterday. I here put him as A. We were very close from sec 5 to last year just before he go NS, during NS we at most meet up only on sunday to play soccer. I still remember, during my sec 5 days, my pocket money was enough for food, but not enough for entertainment, so after school even if we got say go to shopping centre, i also is look at most, is A and another friend support me financially loh, for example we take neoprints, i no money so dun want to take, but they just pay for me loh, even though they know i also no money to repay 1.....

After O levels, i go find job with A. End up the employment agency only call me and not A. A actually told me not to go work, he want us to work together, childrish right, those were the days. But i end up got go work, and after 1 week the employment agency ask me if i got friends wanting to work, i recommend A and a few others, they all got the jobs, and at the peak we got 8 pple working at sogo(city hall, close down liao). Then it's though that job, that A know his wife 1(so am i the matchmaker? haha). My 6 months working there was the most enjoyable of my working life so far, maybe because it's my first job, then the pay quite high, then got quite a lot of friends also working with me..... How i wish, we could go back to those carefree days, as they were my close and genuine friends, someone who i know i could count on in times of need, and who will not betryal me, thus i specially appreciate and zhen xi these friends. For i know they will not use me for their own benefit and after that discard me like they never know me before.

IPPT!

2004-07-23T17:33:00.000+08:00

This week was suppose to be siong! Monday got IPPT, Tuesday got 16 km route march, Wednesday got BCCT(Basic Close Combat Training) Test, Thursday got IPPT, Friday got BAC(Something like u crawl on the floor for 70-100m, while a machine gun shooting real bullets above, but is like 3m high), Saturday got SOC(Climb over a wall, parllel bar, jump over barbed wire, advance version of monkey bar, climb up a 3m rope, dash past a 3-4m plank that is forever shaking, climb over the fence(not really a fence, but something like a fence), walk up jagged ladder(this 1 i most scare, because when u get to the top(4m) u will find it very difficult to come down))

BUT, after i try my very best for monday 2.4km run i still got a bad timing(13.52) and worse is to follow.....

Tuesday: Back pain, until the point i cannot stretch and bend down, no choice have to see MO(Att B 2 days) and have to miss 16km route march(meaning during my block leave must go back march liao). But lagi worse, because of no one want to miss the route march, not enough att B to do shit work, end up have to do more, kao, so from 4-9pm i labour like blangadesh worker sia, 2 person setup water point for nearly 200 pple! Just for 1 water point, we carry 180L of waters together and other stuff like table and benches for sergeants and officers use..... After that, i was so tired until the point that pple talk to me i also blur until cannot reply.....

Wednesday: Fever! The highest got 39.3, lowest got 38.2..... So 12.30 go see doctor, end up have to wait until 2.15 then they finish lunch break, until 3.30 then see finish doctor..... But at least i can go home rest...... Hehe but, sad cannot make it for 4pm ship, waste 1 hour wait for 1 boat.....
Then after i reach bus stop, saw a accident happen right in front of me sia, got 1 uncle dunno why dash across road, then SBS bus no 9, lai bu ji brake! After 1 loud "bong", saw the bus driver jump out of the bus, to see the victim, the bus front mirror a lot of cracks sia...... The victim i think quite serious, a lot of blood on the floor and the victim face. Coincendately, the ship i take above got doctor, so he go over and help loh, then within 1 min police reach liao, damn efficent. By the time my bus come, i already waited for 20 mins liao, then after my bus go for 1-2km, then i saw the ambulance! Hiaz, dunno why police can be so fast but ambulance so slow......

Thursday and Friday: Still under MC, so nothing much to write.....

Saturday: Back to army at friday night, then saturday morning heavy rain, so basically do nothing, but no, army still want u back, hiaz..... So from friday 2000 to saturday 1000 in army camp, so for 14h right, 7 hours spend sleeping, 1 hour for TV, 6 works of magazine reading and finding pple to talk cock..... WASTE TIME RIGHT, just dun let sick pple rest more, hiaz..... tulan

That's all for this week..... 2 more weeks, and my BMT shall end! Counting down.....

SIT Test.....

2004-07-18T19:10:00.000+08:00

SIT Test: Stands for Situational Test(basically for poly and A level pple, but if got O level 5 credits also must go), a test to find commanders.

Monday: March 8km to the campsite. When i finally reach there, felt like dying liao. Learn how to tie different types of knots and everyone got assigned a role, got signaller(2), medic(2), navigater(2), claymore miner(2), demo man(2), mine clearer(1) and 1 or 2 more.....
I tio the claymore miner, but alone because my group not enough pple. Hmm, consider not bad, nothing much to do, then consider i dun want to be commander, life should be easier. The claymore miner basically lay the claymore mine on the floor as either a trap or can be detonate from far with detonator. Slightly bigger then a camera, use on human or at most jeep. Basically that's all. Thoughout my SIT test(12), only use claymore mine once consider easy job ba.

Tuesday: March 4km, "Morning Execise". Slighlty better then yesterday, but still sweat like hell. All the missions got time limit 1, then most of the mission need to tie wooden logs into the required structure. Everyone in my group will have a chance to be commander and 2nd in command. The pple who grade us are the 2 instructors(reservists) and the 1 who accompany us is 1 sergent.

First mission, how to get over quick sand with wooden logs and ropes, anything fall in within 5 secs get kill or destroy. I try to siam by volunter guard duty, got it! Hehe
Overall mission fail, the knots we tie not secure enough, then no one dare to try walk over.

Second mission, how to get over contaminated river with wooden logs and ropes, anything fall in get kill or destroy immediately. I try to siam by volunter guard duty, got it. But this time round i also have to try walk over and i fall into the river, so i "die". hiaz
Overall mission pass, but over half of the group also "die".....

Third mission, how to get a casulty up a cliff, over a ravine and to another cliff. The cliff quite high ba, 3m high. I got the 2nd in command hiaz, suey, keep on tio question, "So what should your man do?" STRESS
Overall mission pass, so far the most successful 1, and to add to us the pressure, the head of bmtc come see us, very very very STRESS sia, for even the instructors and sergent.

Fourth mission, how to get over river with wooden logs, but there is pillars there, so just put the logs on the pillar then can liao. I try to siam(once again)by volunter guard duty, got it. By the time everyone got over and is almost my turn to go across, the famous sound signal came, hehe "CAT 1, CAT 1" basically stands for thunderstorm coming, go for shelter.....
Overall mission pass, no casulty, oh man, we are getting better!

Fifth mission, bomb bridge, have to put bomb on the 4 pillars. I try to siam by volunter guard duty, got it. But in the end they call me over to put bomb, because we were suppose to be under the bridge and i was the lightest so easiest to lift up put bomb(YAH, i did not write wrong, i was the lightest there, so u can imagine how heavy the rest weight.....)Overall mission pass, 1 or 2 casulty, well we were being ambush, so not bad ba.....

Sixth mission, need to clear minefield using bayonet. I try to siam by volunter guard duty, got it. But as usual, some "surprise" thing happen..... "Piang" Someone being shot injure by enemy sniper, hiaz, need to lun liu carry him back..... And he somemore weight 90+kg..... Hiaz
But with this conclude my second day of SIT test.....

Tuesday: March 2km, "Morning Execise". Slighlty better then yesterday, but my sole start to pain from rubbing too much with the boots. The instructors are different from yesterday sia, today one will scold pple 1, hiaz, am i become the first to let him scold later.....

Seventh mission, how to get 3 boxes of ammo over to another side of the. Hiaz, suey, got the role of commander. The instructor ask me, "Enemy approaching in 30 mins, so how long u need IC?" I think ah, can relax a bit mah, so reply "25 mins"
He tulan, "SO EASY, 10 mins!"
The whole team in shock, never got so short time limit before!
I try to bargain a bit loh, "15 mins?"
He say though my plot sia, "12 mins and no more bargaining!"
Jiang hai shi lao de la!
In the end we actually manage to finish in 11mins ++, hehe
The instructor ah, then say," if not i say 12 mins, u all will take 25 mins!"
Hiaz, finish liao still got scold, but look on the bright sight, the sergeant actually praise us sia, say we do very well..... Hehe

Eighth mission, save hostage from prison. I try to siam by volunter guard duty, got it. The one who got in the prison, did not realise there was a dummy guard there supposely sleeping there, the instructor tulan then scold him, then i think he too stress, got bayonet to kill never use, use swiss knife to slit the "guard" throat! The instructor say he sadist, let the enemy slowly bleed to death! Haha Overall mission pass, no casulty.....

Ninth mission, we all start on top of a cliff, need to get the casulty from the ravine to the other cliff. By the time we lower 1 man down to get the casulty up, our time is up! So end up as a confidence test for some, as the instructor select a few, he think will be scare to cross over to the other cliff, around 3-4 m high, using a "A" structure we build. Well i did not get selected, so nothing much to write about that...... Overall mission fail, we took too long.....

Tenth mission, helicopter will drop 1 ammo box from 3 m above, but the box can only take a 2 m fall, so we have to construct a at least 1 m landing bay. I try to siam by volunter guard duty, got it. The structure they all build looks something like a tripod, but instead of 3 legs, ours got 4 legs, and our landing bay did not collapse when the ammo box drop on it..... Hehe Overall mission pass, no casulty, perfect.....

Eleventh mission, we need to go into a sewer though a manhole, then escape though another manhole all along with 1 casulty. I was the last to get lower down, quite scare loh, if say my knot is not tie properly or whatsoever, then u all can come hospital see me liao..... As usual, we take too long, end up as a confidence test for some, as the instructor select a few, he think will be scare to go up again 1s.... Overall mission fail, we took too long.....

Last mission, protect command post, my claymore mine finally got use liao, really is yang bing qian ri, yong zai yi shi! Just after i lay my mine, hiaz..... "PONG" Instructor say,"ARTY(artillery attack), 1 casulty!" Hiaz, he really want us die sia, declare a 110kg+ man casulty, then cannot use strecther to carry him, must use ponchoo(army raincoat), i heng is rear guard so no need carry him, but i still try to help a bit, by carrying 3 person rifles.....

With that conclude my SIT test, ah, after 60 hours of no bathing and no bed and no warm food, we finally will get some proper water to bath in, a bed to sleep and some warm food, suddenly my bunk seems not so bad after all!

Thursday, Friday and Saturday: I thursday go see doctor, so got att b, so other then do shit work, do nothing else liao, so nothing much to write..... So with this i conclude my week.....

Long Weekend!!!!!

2004-07-11T02:32:00.000+08:00

Long weekend basically means either friday bookout until sunday book in(my case) or sat bookout until monday book in or better still friday bookout monday book in(but i never saw that before).....

Well, everyone sure have at least 1 long weekend 1, because need to go OCS visit..... Anymore then that is depend on luck liao.

Monday
Go see MO for knee cap pain(Attend B), actually only a bit pain only, then i think can endure 1, but since i POP soon so chao geng a bit lah.....

Tuesday
I also forget i do what, only remember got rain.....

Wednesday
Last day of my excuse(Attend B) liao, got swim test, even if i fit and go also fail 1, so might as well dun go, ah bo later drown ah..... Also siam the BCCT(Basic Close Combat Training), looks quite like martial arts, even got the horse stance, reminds me of huang fei hong..... The sianz part is the instructor for this all very quai lan, so got not only a lot of punishment but also alot of scoldings, so can siam then siam liao..... The last training i "escape" is gym, normally gym is very gd to go 1, because got air-con, then do at own pace, quite relax..... BUT dunno why, we were "choosen" as demonstrator for some french general or whatever rank 1(but should be quite big, because the head of BMT qin1 zhi4 bring him see us do gym)..... End up we normally only do 2 sets, he come they do 4 sets! Hiaz..... but i also unlucky lah, see at my training shed there got pple throw stones, kana my specs, cb, got 1 small part got chip away.....

Thursday(Dirty day!)
Trench Digging, basically dig a hole which my bunk pple(12), all can jump in and to chest level, the chest level is a bit difficult to judge because for example i shortest in my bunk 165, while the tallest in my bunk is 190, so should follow his chest or my chest level leh?
By right should follow the tallest 1, but by left happen, hehe, dig to my chest level can liao, everyone also happy a bit.
If u can recall, thursday rain whole day right, that rain saves the day sia, because of that rain, they declare it too dangerous to dig the trench, so we all escape..... hehe

Friday(Grenede!)
Morning learn how to throw grenede, actually to be more precise, we only the safety drills, they dun care u can throw land on the target anot 1, they just want u to be able to do the right procedure, but if u ask me, if u cannot even throw the grenede near to the target, learn so safety drill also no use loh.....
Afternoon, off to GAC(Grenede Assault Course!)
When we reach there, the sergent tell us dun go into the white tape area, after we ask for very long, finally tell us why.....
because someone die there before around 2 years ago! Wah sia, we all scare liao.....
At the GAC basically is very easy to say but siong to do, run to first location, throw dummy grenede, pick it up then lepoard crawl(using elbow and kneecap 1, extremely tiring!) to second location
Kneel down, throw dummy grenede, pick it up then lepoard crawl to third and last location and lie on the floor, and throw the dummy grenede for the last time..... When we all go back, we found sand everywhere(very irrating ah!)
Book out liao loh, dinner still not bad, got half a chicken and french fries, manage to reach singapore on 8pm, then home sweet home.....

Attend B.....

2004-07-04T00:07:00.000+08:00

Some explainations..... when u go see army doctor, they basically only give 2 types of MC, attend b and attend c. Attend C is everybody dream, but most of the time u will only get attend b.
The only difference is attend C can go home rest, while attend b cannot. Back to my story.....

After i that day sick go back, normal practise by SAF is next day attend b, so i become attend b on tuesday. Hiaz, actually attend b got it's pros and cons.
Pros - no need do exercise, no need march.....
Cons - when pple do exercise u have to do shit work, like clean toilet, clean road, clean this, clean that, basically clean everything.

Tuesday still ok, not much shit work to do, then manage to siam the martial arts class.....

Wednesday go see parade, basically is change of commander of BMTC. Then after the parade, we still have to form 1 human chain along the road to welcome the new commander, the human chain is form by 4000+ pple, covering a few km..... Hiaz, like idiot like that loh, stand on the street clap when he pass by.....

Thursday SAF day, go parade again, this time all have to march there to listen to 1 speech from minister of defence, which will be read out by the new commander of bmtc. Early morning, my company sergent major(discipline master) finally return from his training course. CB, i become the first victim, the first one to get scold by him, hiaz suey..... Anyway, dunno is xin4 guan4 shang1 ren, 3 ba *fire*, he first day come back scold a lot of pple liao, even sergent also scare of him sia, but the good news is he is staying only for 1 week then got appointed to new place liao..... Everyone scare sia, so i follow my buddy words(hokkien)
bo geng, bo chou peng meaning, never think, never get out of army..... So go see army doctor, hehe, got 2 days excuse footwear because i got foot rot, hiaz..... Quite song leh, wear slippers walk around like no body business.....

Friday, last day of my excuse liao, but do alot of shit work, like wash sergent toilet(they very kiasu sia, early morning 6 wash liao, 8 tell us wash again, hiaz), then the sergent major *really* know how to use pple, divide the attend b into 3 groups.
1. wash road and sergent toilet(again!)
2. wash corridoor
3. wash training shed.
He say must reach his standard, i in group 1, i know die liao, toilet ah, is sure die 1 loh, toilet they very easy find fault with u 1 loh, then we wash halfway sergent come in use we also cannot say anything. So i siam ah, halfway go storeroom help out, BUT hiaz, they call me go office, i thought what happen sia, scare me to death ah! End up go there help the sergent major clear and wipe his cupboard because he leaving soon. He end up even talk to me and give me 3 notebooks of writing material, hiaz, cannot reject so die die also must accept, he also kiasu, got 10+ over there, even got around 10 is still wrap in plastic..... At night, we go celebrate platoon mates birthday, 1 person pay $2, got 2 small cakes and some tibits, then somemore can play and eat happily, ah SONG AH!

Saturday, BOOKOUT DAY and also SOC, SOC ah, i today really got the *taste* of the famous jagger ladder and the gate, these 2 ah, nearly took away my guts sia. The gate first, basically is like those barrier u can see on the road, preventing people falling into the drain 1. It's like when u step on the barrier, then swing your body over and catch the place where u step on previously, i first time cannot catch and fall, after that scare liao, but worse is to come.
The jagger ladder is the thing from side view see is triangle, then around 2 stories high, then the steps u step on are logs 1, the problem is, if u miss your step then is gd luck to u liao, because in between the logs there is nothing loh, so imagine u get to the top and miss a step! Fall 2 stories down, sure leg break loh, i go for 1 try, basically the trick is not to look below for too long, because if u dun look below cannot see the step, if u look below too long u will get scare, by the time u reach the top everyone leg no strength, need the instructors help or support. After i somehow manage to get down, with peer encouragement(or should it be peer presure?) and instructors help. I now really admire those who can pass the SOC liao, u give me 1 whole day i think i also cannot finish all the obstacles, hiaz, must lose more weight ah!

Will update on next sat, if i can book out.....
*Pray*

2004-06-28T11:53:00.000+08:00

Back from the field camp liao.....
Suddenly my bunk seems like heaven!
The OC("head") for the first time in my BMT life allow us go canteen eat! And not only that he also allow us to go watch england vs portugal!
The canteen is the place where mostly the sergent etc go eat 1, we not allow to go 1, but the food is much more nicer, got hawker centre standard.....
Saw Junhao at the canteen, he ask me why we all look so shag!
Hiaz, what to do, field camp leh.....
We talk cock for a while, then time to go back clean rifle and sleep liao!
Been wake up at 4am by a bunk mate, told me england lead 1-0, hiaz, since he wake me up liao, i might as well go watch the match loh..... To cut a long story short, after the match(5.30am) i want to went up bunk when i realise my hp missing, i think is drop out of my pocket when i did not realise it, so when i went back to search, cannot find liao, use my buddy hp to call my hp, the thief close my hp liao.
No choice, report to sergent liao, then he tell the OC("head"), ha
the OC gather everyone to tell them i someone steal hp from me, at first pple relax, until the OC say: "If the hp is not return to the owner by 12 noon, the whole company can no need book out this weekend liao, confinement!" That's when 200 pple looking at u, and asking u where u lose your hp, what model, etc.....
Can imagine my stress!!!!!
And from some of their stupid suggestions, u can know how desperate they are.....
1. U tell the OC u find liao lah, then take 1 of the 6610 from anyone first, then the whole company pay u $1 each u go buy another 1 lah.
My anwser: No use, the OC now is want to find culpit!
2. U tell the OC u find the hp liao lah
My anwser: No use, i tell is confirm pple take 1, because i left it on, now is off liao
That is just the 2 most stupid suggestions!

By 10.30, the thief has left the hp in the lift(only sergent and above can use) liao, so 1 sergent found it, ask me if it is my?
YES!!! Hehe, the OC warning really very useful sia

End of drama..... If not find by 12, i think the whole company cupboard etc will be turn upside down to look for my hp!

Field Camp!

2004-06-26T16:31:00.000+08:00

Sunday:
Before i go, i was very very very scare. Then i never really say go setup tent and sleep in forest before, Hear too many horror story liao, like how pple got rifle got steal by sergent have to do guard duty etc..... Then somemore cannot bath for the whole duration, hiaz, really is nan2 ren3 wei liao!

Monday:
As usual lah, have to wake up at 5, do everything necessary, make last minute equipment check etc. Then it's up the tonner to the campsite! A very bumpy ride as usual, what to do, here dun even have road loh, at best is call dirt track. Hiaz. They also cb 1, can zai4 us there mah, dun want, want us alight earlier, march around 500m-1000m to campsite. The march is nothing, but when u are carrying 20+kg of equipment then is no joking matter liao loh! By in a way still lucky loh, the place i sleep is ex-rubber plantation, so got shelter not hot, hehe.

First activity: setup tent, this i must admit is thanks to my buddy! If not for him ah, i should be got scold to death liao, he do i think 70-80% of work, i basically is just still too blur to do things. Hiaz..... But i compensate by digging drain loh, and now i know how the bangladash feel liao! i dig until no air liao, only dig like 1.5m long at most 15cm deep..... Better dun rain ah

(Chili Fried Rice)
First meal: a bit excited loh, never eat combat ration before.....
First bite, hmm not bad mah, why they say until like that?
Half way though, a bit sianz liao, full liao.....
Eat finish liao, wah kao, very ni4 ah!!!!! And i have to eat for next 4 days! Ah just kill me ah!!!!!

First bad news: They really dun like me loh, change section IC to me today, hiaz, that just basically mean i have to take responsibility for 12 pple(including me), that's hard loh, if say 1 bastard go shit never tell me then they call for pple to fall in, then i will die die die ah!!!!!

We were given duties liao, we tio the setup concertina wires(something like barb wire but is around 1 metre high) around the campsite, this i consider quite heng liao loh, because another group have to go dig shit hole! hahaha

Then after some lessons, dinner time liao, first day still quite uneventful, dinner was still combat ration, this time i eat (Yellow Curry Rice) the taste is different, but the conculsion is the same as my first meal.....

Now the last event of the day..... Powder("snake" powder) bath
Everyone strip down to your underwear and stand infront of the sergent! Now striping is not too embrassing since all guys mah, the difficult part is the "snake" powder part, u have to make until your whole body white, and then u have to put so much on your groin area so that when u pull your underwear, the sergent want to see powder fly out! The groin part i keep on fail, until the sergent 3rd time liao, tulan, pour the powder on my groin area! Wah my whole body very very very cold loh, like very high fever feeling loh, shivering!

We were allow to sleep at 8+, reason being simple, from 6+ still bright, in 1 hour become quite dark, by 8+, basically u cannot see who is infront of u, u can only make out there is a human shadow in front of u. Dark until how to train? But long hours of sleep is difficult also, got uneven ground and stone on your butts, how to sleep? hiaz

Tuesday:
Now everyone start to smell a bit liao, but still bearable lah. Then as usual got a lot of lessons loh, practise only start around 3+, basically is teach u how to counter enemy when your side got only 3 pple. Hiaz, then we make a very big mistake, after we all do let the sergent see liao, the sergent say he do once let us see, we follow until halfway never follow liao, we also dunno why never follow him, maybe too shag liao, hiaz, end up tio fuck upside down, do 50 sets of jumping jack with rifle, countless push up and crunches. And on the way back to campsite, he basically play us loh, force us to lepoard crawl(crawl using only using elbows and kneecap) on mud patch!!!!! AH!!!!! We go back, pple see us thought we go where sia! And for the first and last time got night training, basically how to walk quietly and do baby crawl(like dog lah)..... Then powder bath as usual..... but nm, because hear gd news liao, we actually friday then can go back 1, now become thursday because we involve in some parade! Hehe

Wednesday:
Introduce to something call thunder flash, as the name suggest, it's as loud as thunder and as bright as lightening at night(they say the light powder= 10,000 bulbs!). We basically is learn how to counter enemy when your side got only 7 pple, plus what to do when encounter sniper and artillery. For sniper, to put it in short is find chance to run as far away as possible..... For artillery, is a almost the same, only difference is u need to run towards the artillery, hiaz, kamikaze sia..... This also quite enjoyable because do with our officer, who basically has no temper, very rare punish pple, and never even see him scold pple before, then still can talk cock with him, hehe..... Then powder bath as usual.....

Thursday:
LAST DAY LIAO. ARTY(artillery) drill, they really is cb, 5.30am, throw alot of thunder flash towards where we sleep. We really thought is war liao leh, it was that real. We all thought just run out to open area to gather. WE WERE WRONG. They expect us to dismantle our tent and keep all our things in total darkness, to make it worse, me and my buddy lost our torchlight, so we really cannot see liao, dismantle the tent liao, just bundle everything up and go out then see how liao. End up, they say we too slow, go out do 100+ push up, they say that is training, but the real reason is to make us keep all our things asap. CB, it's like u imagine u sleep until halfway, got pple wake u up to bluff u say got fire! After that, today can be consider the real test liao, and i was choosen! ok lah, i admit is they choose 7 out of the 12 in every section..... For this must be more garang(something like volunter for everything like that 1), must make our "head" happy, because he not happy with our performance the first 3 days. Hiaz, dunno is god play me or what, when they order us to prone down and find cover, i cannot find a tree near enough for me, end up sit inside drain ah! Not once but twice, hiaz, then somemore the drain ah, is ants infested 1, the ants climb all around me!!!!! so itchy ah!!!!! Then my rifle let me down when i need it most! After my first shot, IA ah!!! (IA means the bullet cannot make it from the magazine to the rifle to be shoot out). Hiaz, make me paiseh, heng sergent never say anything. Ok nm, still got second chance, second mission, before we go the "head" give us stress, tell pple we were the very good, tell the enemy to be careful! Kao, stress sia, but heng we never do anything wrong, so the "head" was happy..... Heng, heng..... And this mark the end of my field camp. Hehe, will continue later.....

Haha
