Its monday night, and why am I here? haha... got a day off due to the army half marathon. It wasn't really a day off lar... since it ate one of my weekend, so its perfectly right to return one to me.

Anyway... I didn't take part in the running. I was doing the sai kang ( shit work) for them. We had to move the safety barriers to close a lane for the runners... And you know how much barriers we had to move or not? We take like around 4 hours to move them in place tru the night. And then take also as much time to pack them all up after the event... Now I got this phobia seeing those safety barriers... I kept imagning and wishing that I got the mutant power of Jean Grey... lol... I can just concentrate and move all the barriers in place.

Some of my platoon mates are also being dragged there to do other forms of sai kang, like medical cover and water point marshal. Its a pretty funny feeling to think that after we all got seperated after POP. we are all together and still working under the same night sky at singapore's southern area.
Althought they got the slacker job lar... can sleep at night... I have to move all the barriers throughout the night lor... sian....

Spending 1 night together with a section... well... they all seems to be quite nice people lar... hope I will be able to fit in well after I got posted to the company :)

Went to the library to borrow some books. Needed something to kill time in camp, Had been considering to get myself a PSP or nitendo DS... I think its a pretty good investment for the rest of my 1.5 years in camp. But I'll still wait a while lar... wait till I settle down in the company first :)

K lar... nothing much for now... bye :) This week shouldm'y be too hard to pass, afterall monday is already gone, 4 more days to my book out night :) Actually now considered not bad already. Cos is monday book in for the next 2 weeks, so now I have 3 night to spend at home :)

POP loh! Haiz... I was sent right to my new camp after pop... so sian... got a shock when I reach my new camp. My building is so run down. The bunk is even worst. It looks like some construction site worker's squatters. The first night there was unbearable. The fan has broken down so its so hot there... Somemore I can't imagine myself living in such conditions for the rest of my NS life. Its like within a 3km radius of the camp there isn't a single civilisation. Its almost like living in tekong, except its worst. I was posted to a engineer company situated in a armour camp. Thats why it seems like we are being outcasted. All the armour building have been upgraded. Only our little area at the very end of the camp is so run down.

First day there was also quite sad... I miss SMTI life even more. I miss all the familiar faces, voices and places of SMTI. I miss my bunk mates who are always so noisy talking cock. But haiz... got to bear with it for another 2 weeks lar. After that I'm moving over to the company line to be attached to a platoon. I hope by then things will get better lar... getting to know new people. And the living condition there is also slightly better, at least the bed is those spring mattress and not foams.

By the way, I just realised that I got a friend there in the company.. haha.. Elgin! I went for a briefing for AHM then saw him there. Hmm... that kinds of make me feel better lar... at least that place is not so alien to me anymore.

The second day there was the start of our on job training. First thing in the morning, even before the lesson starts, we were called into the treatment room. "the three of you, one of you go and do IV" .... lol... there was a high fever patient there... we were all stunned lor... lol... then I was sabo to do it. Heng I one shot kill ar... otherwise so xia suay... haha.... My first time shooting IV for a real casualty. It feels abit different. In school we shoot friends that we know, anyhow shoot also can. but there, its a real casualty that needs the IV... so there's a little weight of responsibility there.

After that we continue lesson lor... but half way a heat exhaustion casualty came in... Suddenly all the senior medics there became very serious lor. They did the 4 man drill on the causalty, MO was also being called in. The whole situation is very tense lor. They strip him of everything, planted 2 IV on him... inserted a rectal probe....

I see the casualty like suffering so much, I almost cried you know... Everyone is going through NS, but why does he have to suffer so much? Later then get to know that we was a trainee for Specs undergoing ASLC here. He was doing SOC when that happened.

Haiz... but whether I like it or not... this is life in the army lar... SUCK thumb.... I'm gonna be stuck there for 1.5 years. After that I'm gonna F**K off from there and hope never to return... so yar.... K lar... 1.5 years shouldn't take too long lar... right now I'm only looking forward to going to the company line in 2 weeks time. Look at the time in small blocks and it should pass by quite fast. Can't imagine I've already passed 9 weeks in SMTI... It seems too short... I wanna go back for a recourse!!!! haha...

My weekend this week is screwed up cos of the AHM... its like I have to report at 1745 tonight, then go back at around noon tmr, then have a off on monday and book in tues morning.

Thats all for now ba... bye~

Haiz... feeling very terrible... fell sick.... haiz... caught a bad flu... I'm like walking around my house with a roll of toilet paper in my hand for the whole of today... kept sneezing non stop... Hope to get well by monday, otherwise things are going to get worst... Going to have outfield activities this coming week, so if I dun get well by then, I duno whether my flu will worsen or not under the hot sun.

My watch also passed away this week... So sad... it has been with me for almost 10 years. Went through alot with it. It kept time for all my majoy exams. PSLE, O lvls, A lvls... It endured through though trainings during my BMT and field camp.... It also has travelled with me overseas....

I bought this watch when I was in pri 4... That year one of my cheapo watch was spoilt, then its near chinese new year. So my dad brought me to get a new watch. So we went shopping at Lot 1... That was my first watch that cost over a hundred dollars... haha... But its worth every cent lor... to be able to last so long.

It got injured during BMT, somehow one of the buttons for setting time is spoilt. That means that once the battery finished, there is no point changing battery again cos the time cannot be set anymore. So it began... the countdown till the very last minute when its battery goes flat.....

Oh well... time to get a new watch :D haha....

Anyway.... the countdown to the end of combat medic training has also began... The coming week can be considered is the last week I'll be undergoing training at MTI.... My posting will probably be also out this week. HAiz... duno where I'll be posted to... New places, new friends.

k lar.. nothing much... bye~ Gonna rest early :) Wish me speedy recovery!
