rawr. back from my 24hour guard duty (2 hour shifts, 4 hour break) which was the slackest possible ever. Just sit in office and watch cctvs (of an area which NOONE goes to) and during break go sleep or watch real TV.
waste time!!! zz.
well, i'm looking forward to the 2 day break of labour day and the dayafterlabour day (i've got that day off! cos they keep making us do stuff on weekend so i think it's like compensation) I'll finally get my muchdeserved proper 'weekend break'. (of 2 days la. in the whole BSLC i think i only had one proper weekend break)
Just this week i had my 2nd navigation exercise.. which was on our own without any instructors.. and my group basically flunked it. We found ZERO checkpoints (out of 3. 2 day checkpoints, 1 night. ). super sad. when we came back from the night one they gave us a new checkpoint to find cos we havent found any at all. which we tried but also cannot find.
zzz. howwww. navigation sucks. but the fun thing about the whole thing was manning the signals set. It's quite funny to hear the groups comms back to the HQ to say stuff.
e.g.
"Hello 00 this is seven charlie.. er.. we are lost! over"
hahaha. super funny this.
And the stupid thing is that 00 (which is the HQ) will reply:
"00 , please tell us your location so we can give you directions, over"
like hello!?! if you're lost, how on earth do you know where you are. if you know where you are you wont be lost right. zz hope we pass our navigation test which is in 2 weeks time i think.
on a side note, i'm working on a little mission which i'll hopefully be executing after i ORD (next year, 10th november) I'm creating a side blog for it, will reveal more about it soon yea. =)

short weekends
ok this sucks.
firstly, i'm not going to church on sunday cos on sunday i have metador and m203 live firing (some guns.) and i have to book in on saturday night -_- so my weekend is shortened.
THEN, i just found out yesterday that tmr morning (sat morning) i have to book in for some survey for CBRE (Chemical Biological Radiological Explosives) department. sian. so effectively my bookout time is like.. 10 hours. But it would be pretty cool if i get into that CBRE thing after my BSLC training. bomb diffusal unit woo! haha.
Then next week i have guard duty on saturday -_- so i think only sunday morning bookout. then sunday night go back in. woo my life rocks .
hmm yknow there's this army policy that we cannot post army matters online. like no photos, no blogging about training, etc. But i was wondering.. how do they catch people? Like if i dont mention what army i'm from, i can be from any army in the world. like russian army or scandinavian army or alaskan army. but i just talk about my training la without stating the name. then i can deny any accusations and claim i'm some other country person.
ha ok to be safe i'll never type the army i'm from so i can't be googled.
ok, off to watch deathnote2 =) hope it's as good as deathnote 1!

spoilt phone = angry alan
ok, how screwed up, my phone got spoilt.
Had sports day in army yesterday, so had to stay one extra day otherwise friday can bookout already :( then.. after all the events were over and we were sitting in the parade square waiting for the prize presentation.. it began raining.
and i'm telling ya, the raindrops were GIGANORMOUS. such that when it hits your skin it SPLATS and breaks up into a 100 tiny raindrops , something like a mortar bomb effect. yup so it poured and rained and the wind swept across us and it was freaking cold and miserable. And i had my handphone in my pants pocket -_- zz.
when we went back to bunk i realised some buttons on my phone weren't working. then they were working. then they weren't working. pretty screwed up. then sometimes hang. then sometimes can work. argh.
i need a new old phone people!! if anyone has an old phone (without camera ) that he/she doesnt want, can i have it!!? i'll even pay a small price for it. i need a phoneee.
on a different note, i've got some stupid rash on my back again!! but this time it doesn't feel like heat rash. it's not the suddenly pain prickly sensation i had last time. but more of a continual itch. i like this itch better. not as .. shocking as the previous one. but still. irritating! go away itch!
my sms to chris:
"I'm dying of rash. mm u free next sat? i'm itching to shop. i can't scratch the idea.. the wait wasnt that irritating...-"
haha.
and on daniel's youtube i saw this funny comment. He did a cover of the song 'Walk' which was by this band called 'By The Tree'. So his video title was 'Walk (Acoustic) By The Tree'
then this guy asked "wow this song is nice! but i just wanna ask.. who the heck is 'the tree'? it's nice but i wanan know who 'the tree' is"
hahahahah. i love wordplay.
