OMG!!! and my contingent is so near to the president too... just behind the guard of honours (GOH)... and er hmmm... i'm in the 1st row of my contingent... -.-''' tentatively though... at least tt's wat i think...

Ah!!! i won't be just marching on the day itself... will also be doing some transformation drills... :( gonna burn a lot of my wkends... so sad too... will be going back to camp sorta immediately after our section ends... so dun get to see the exciting events after tt...

aniway, thought might want to give u all some more time to figure out last wk's quiz... b4 i give u the answer on my next post, here's the quiz for this wk...

Quiz 2: ior

should be easier to figure out than last wk's one... just realised tt last wk's quiz wasn't really tt easy after all... but hey... dun stop working yr brain cells in solving it...

The vehicle tt i'm driving... looks sorta like this... well, more or less...

to stop this blog from becoming more and more like a monologue, i decided to add a quiz every wk... well, it goes like this... let's say i give this 3 consecutive letters: emb

then u have to give me words which contain these combination of letters... one such answer can be: m(emb)er

get it?

so here goes... the 3 letters for this wk is...

Quiz 1: ghl

would say tt this combi is not tt diff... want the answer? wait for next wk's post!

yo... so it's time again for me to talk about the wk's happenings... started on another course... the Operator-Maintainer course... or in short OM course... learned much more about the vehicle and how to maintain and service it...

and the unit conducting this course is OETI, shortform for Only Eat Tuang and Idle... well, tt sorta summarised how the course ran...

slack ah... now have so little mandatory exercises... most of the time we have to have OTOT in the nite... for those of you who dunnoe... it means Own Time Own Target... ya... so ran with my mortar mates for a run round the camp... wah... didn't noe the camp was so freakingly big...

and this driver buddy of mine soooo PT mad... every free time i'll see him doing push-ups... one day can easily do about 200+... siao...

it's 90%+ of the time slacking as usual... so started to decorate my notebook with my own art pieces... haha...

on to games... returned to playing LOD during last wk's long wkend... now stuck at the ancients... still cracking my head as to how to beat them... so diff to kill them...

sianz... y is the civilian time given to us soooo short??? zzz... every wkend just go see 1 movie and ard half a day is gone...

Back from the terrible smoke chamber in Seletar Camp....... I shall now elaborate on the things that i actually did on that day
I and my platoon mates have to go thru 3 tormenting rounds in the smoke chamber.

First round: Went in with the complete suit and mask on. Den did head rotation, shoulder rotation and jumping jacks in there. After which, we were aksed to take off the mask to get in contact with the smoke. I tot tat the moment i took off the mask, i would be in tears. However, it turned otherwise. I was quite surprised that my eyes were okay but the smell was quite horrible. Den the instructors told me to walk to the exit. Before i reached the exit, my eyes were suddenly overwhelmed by a very sharp pain, my nose were like stuffed with wasabi and my face were like smeared with chili... What the heck!!! Now did i realise that the effects are delayed-acting not immediate... OuCH!!!

Second round: Went in without the mask... The moment i stepped into the room, i had to shout: "Gas! GAs! Gas!" and closed my eyes, stopped my breathing, and reached for the mask in my mask carriage bag(strapped at my left thigh). Cos i could not see, i tried putting on the mask the wrong way!!!! Luckily the instructors helped me to invert the mask back and i managed to put it on myself. Actually i am supposed to put on the mask in 9 seconds, but ... oh well... After the mask was on, i could feel a burning sensation on my face cos i took too long to mask on jus now. AFter which, i started carrying out the different drills (eating drill, drinking drill, immediate decontamination drill, blah blah blah) This round lasted for abt 25 min or so.. I almost died of heat cos the whole room has no ventilation at all!!!!!

Third round(The Hell Round): Went inside with the mask on. This time i had to carry out the canister-change drill. No kick man... Did it quite well.. Den the last event: TAke off the mask and OPEN my eyes and BREAAAAATHE... DEn, say out my rank, name (spelled out somemore) and NRIC no... AGain i did not feel anything even after i finished everything... The moment my legs start to move, the pain came back again and i was like "WAH LAN EH!!!!!!" This time the pain is worse cos i exposed my face for a longer time compared to the first round. When i got out of the room, my tears started to flow and my nose were running........ I clenched my fist very hard to endure that extremely stinging sensation... AT last!!!! After a while, the pain subsided and i felt a great sense of relief, WHOO!!!! My Cs smoke training has ended!!!!!!!

woohoohoo!!! looong weekend... *pops off bottle cap of coke (no champange thank you... i'm songluck mee pohz...)* in celebration of last year's good results ie. 46SAR getting best armour unit, we got to book out since yesterdae nite... yeah!!!

tml's gonna be spent on the sunny island sentosa... armour family dae... sure gonna be sardined... heard tt it's going to be more than 5000 ppl there...

think i should seriously start looking at other ppl's blogs... i've started to bore myself out with my wordings... esp those ppl's blogs tt i put in the blogs drop down menu... maybe for a starter, i can post some pics... but wat pics leh? *scratches my botak head*

ah!!! i'm so out of touch with wat's going on on this bluey planet... ah!!!

so funny... received a letter from nus offering me sci and eee course... qi2 guai4 tt i can get into sci course with my results... *raise eyebrow*

... starting to get my weekly dose of blogstipation... will be back with more crap after i clear it with bao3 ji1 yuan2...

To dorc: hmmm... it seems like u got the mouse clock going liao... so i dun think i need to teach u further... ya sure... u can link mine blog on yrs...

haven blogged for some time liao... just finished my driving course and gotten my driving licence... seems sorta strange tt i actually noe how to drive something... actually it's not tt diff... guess driving a civilian car would require more skill...

on my f-ed up course mates... can't stand some of them... some just don't give a damn about almost anything... standing on one leg, talking in file (turning ard to talk some more), falling in late, dun noe how to echo, leaving taps on when no one is using them, going back to the bunk without washing their boots... the list just goes on...

tt's this guy in particular which i think is damn kb... he'll just kbkb at anything... and the thing is he himself show a f-ed up attitude... haiz... had our 1st pull up regime last fri... the way he did his 'pull up' was like... unbelievable... it wasn't a jerk... it was blatantly frog kicks man... and to think tt he came from foxtrot and he onli did 2 of his frog kicks... *shakes head*

got posted to a relatively slack company... so far 90% of the time is admin time spent doing nothing... but oh no... there's IPPT tml... dunnoe how it'll turn out... after having not exercised for like a month? O.o

went out with ju-zi, tty, bra and xiang yesterdae... well... the response for the class outing was sad to say, as bad as usual... must have been weird for ju-zi to go out with 4 guys... and to watch a horror movie too... looked like she was those pretty dan2 xiao3 type, using her bag or hands to cover her face when it came to the scary parts...

hmmm... forgot wat else i want to type here liao... oh ya... received a letter from ntu offering me a course in accountancy... strange to hear tt it's sorta the hotest course and i still manage to get in... *shrugs*... also received an email from nus asking me to go this electrical and com eng interview and this letter from moe asking me to go a bac in sci (edu) interview... but since i'm more or less settled on acc in ntu, i dun think i'll be going for the interviews...
