10th ICT Day 2

OMG it's so much better to be doing this at a PROPER PC... darn the rules on no camera phones otherwise i could bring im my iPhone!

Anyway, went early this morning to Pasir Labar camp for IGTS and IMT, which like, only took half a day to complete although the program says its for the whole day! Surprisingly they've improved the IGTS; the enemies are no longer the spastic 2-animation figures of before, now they're actual 3D figures who can walk/stroll through our hail of fire... :p

I was firing the M203, and have a darn shoulder ache from keeping the M203 up... no sandbags! Next up was SAR21 IMT, which took all of 5 mins..... lunch was late (and bad), then the buses came to pick us up.. after which we took up horizontal rest position in bunk for HALF A DAY!!!

Am back home now typing this; didn't go nite's off last night cos was soooo shacked. :P BUT did get to eat the chicken wings in the mess. :D

Got a 5km route march tomorrow, after which so bo-liao buddy aid and games.. :p Well, back to camp in 2 hrs! Am on COS duty for today.

10th ICT Day 1

Gotta keep this short and sweet cos it's agony posting on this BB!

Pretty ok day, half of it was spent in briefings, the other half was for the sar21 THT; all this was of course punctuated with visits to the canteen, and our favorite pasttime, visiting the e-mart!

Food was good for lunch, and quickly reverted to standard SFI fare for dinner!

Gosh, the mess is so small now! Well, gotta go zzzz now, tomolo we'll be at PLC the whole friggin day! Pew pew! :p

Here we go again! :D

That's a picture of me in Taiwan during my ASLC days. :P a lifetime ago! Recently found a whole bunch of my old photo negatives, so decided to scan them.

They're like ghosts from the past; moments frozen in time to be forever remembered!

Well, all (mostly) packed up! Few more hours and will be back THERE again!

Hooah! I'll try to do a day by day for this! Should be interesting! ;)

Another Sunday!

Been a hectic past few weekends, cos i was shifting most of the stuff from my old place at AMK to the storage room at Extraspace; you'll be surprised at the number of rooms that are already taken up! Guess in space-starved Singapore, there's not much choice since the govt keeps squeezing people into smaller and smaller units! :p

Also getting ready for my last in-camp-training next week; sort of mixed feelings, as with the Army, there's always a measure of dread when it's mentioned (must be psychological!). However, also a bit of nostalgia involved; here's a group of guys i spent the past 10 years or so with together during our reservist training, some people have dropped in and out but the core group is always there along with the cameraderie.

Well, not getting younger i suppose! Anyway it's for 1 and a half weeks only, bet it'll feel longer than that once i'm in!

On another note.... only 2 months more to Christmas! One time of the year i really look forward to! :D Time sure flies.

Oktoberfest pt 2!

Jägermeister at Oktobetfest!

Oktoberfest!

Beer and sauerkraut! :)

Star Wars on Blu-Ray

Recieved my copy of Star Wars on Blu Ray in the mail today; got the complete edition ONLY because i wanted the extra discs for the documentaries and such!

I'm not much a fan of Eps I-III, think George Lucas should have left well enough alone! I'm not even going to start on the purported changes to eps IV - VI..... :P

Managed to fire up Ep IV and III just for the heck of it... pretty awesome as you'll never see Ep IV as clear and sharp as this! We can only hope one day GL comes to his senses, and releases the original trilogy as it was shown way back in 1977! :D
