Return to Unit...

Whew... long time since i blogged... I din even realise it was that long! Lol...

Maybe it's too much tiring driving.

Maybe it's too exciting going back to unit.

Maybe it's too much change switching back to old biomechanism.

Wadeva the case, I'm back here! Haha

Ok so from where I left off last time.

So after the long day with night driving and all... the next day (fri) was also all extra stuff... Driving across a pool of water (which was supposed to simulate a flood-like kind of scenario) and also how to camoflouge our vehicle in the forest... like hello? The bloody vehicle so big u cover with all the canopy net enemy also can see lor!

Wadeva la... going to end of course soon anyway.

Then saturday we drove on the expressway for the first time after obtaining our licenses. It's like convoy driving with like 3 vehicles in one convoy, of which only the first vehicle of each convoy has an instructor to lead the way from Mandai camp (right next to the zoo) all the way to Seletar West Camp which is just opposite seletar airport.

I was so happy cuz the odds of being in a vehicle with an instructor is not so high, esp less so with my irritating instructor cuz we were all mashed up into different groups.

But... yes u can guess... SO SUAY u noe!!! I got into the same vehicle as my instructor.

And so yes... he was nagging almost throughout the whole journey. Becuz of wad? He claimed I was too slow.

Like hello? SAF vehicles' speed limit is 50 km/h, upon reaching will activate a loud screeching alarm going beep beep beep in one second. Yes that's 3 beeps per second for you.

And when 10 beeps are sounded continuously at one go, there is a small devious meter which jumps by one number and that small little jump can possibly cost you $150 and some time in kranji chalet with free hair-shave, free food and free strenous PT. How great!

And he was like rushing me to drive until like 5 or 6 beeps are heard b4 slowing down and after the beeping has stopped to accelerate again. And the cycle goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and I could go on and on and it wouldn't be enough to express my excruciating ride with my instructor.

Sigh. Ok nvm.

Come Monday, driving on E'way again. Same convoy as my instructor (yours truly was sadly unfortunately bounded to his convoy for the whole island wide driving thing, like seriously just my luck lah!).

But good thing is... I was in a different vehicle as him. The second one, right behind him. But still, he has to find some fault with me. And again it was the fact that I was driving too slowly and not being able to catch up with his vehicle.

Are u tired of me ranting about my instructor's complaints already? haha. Exactly how I felt too... So ya, u get the point...

Oh well, tuesday, I also dun want to say lah... U can guess hor. But it was a half day for me cuz I completed accumulating 200km on the road and had thus officially "graduated" from the course. Being extremely tired, I spent almost the whole afternoon sleeping. Hehe

Wed back to unit. But it was night shift. Estatic. No need for waking up at bloody 5.30am or 6am ever again! Course has ended!! hahahahaha

But I still had a morning driving lesson at BBDC. I'm gonna chiong all the way and hopefully be able to drive as early as feb or march next year! Then I can zoom my way on the roads and going out will be so much more convenient! Hahaha. But I'm gonna keep it from most ppl even when I do get my license or else I have to be their chauffers! WTH!!! Haha J/k la. At the most i'll just say that I got no car cuz my father shipped it to thailand! *Oops* Haha

Yep. Then night shift. As usual sleep depriving shift. Only had 2 1/2 hours of sleep. So was quite seh the whole of thursday. even when I had some sleep in the afternoon when I made my way to Sim Lim to get a new mouse I was still seh.

Oh my poor body! I can hear its pleas. How it is suffering because of sleep deprivation!!! Argh What the heck!

Then yesterday... haha finally time when we "eat" (chi1) the SAF... like literally. SAF ammo command celebrated its 36th anniversary yesterday evening at Crown Palace Restaurant which is tucked away at the top of some ulu 4 storey HDB kind of like building thingey in Yishun. Like wth... ask us go all the way there for a dinner? Haha. But wth. Free food. And summore we were given the morning and afternoon off as we had to "dress up" and "prepare" for the impending dinner in the evening.

Food was soooooo mediocre. Well it was ok for $25 per pax so well, I'm not complaining la. My mother's cooking can fight with them la. So disappointing u noe... No abalone, no shark's fin, and no crab too!

But service was good, and the activities that evening were somewhat quite entertaining as well. Heck! They even invited auntie abigail (the really thin, anorexic, man-turned-female I think who claims (s)he looks like Chu Mei Fung of the Taiwan scandal). And she was like singing and flirting with some of the NS guys seated near the stage. She was even like touching some of the better looking guys who were invited on stage to play some games haha.

You should have seen the violent reactions. Heck even the non-SAF patrons tucked away in some small VIP-ish room enjoying their private dinner came out to watch abigail strut her stuff muhahaha!!!

Ok then a rather lame but entertaining emcee took over. Ok lah, some of the games and competitions were quite lame but at least it provided entertainment throughout the dinner so it wasn't quiet and boring and akward lah...

The final competition of best dressed male and female was hilarious too. Esp the female one. Lol. Shan't elab. Thinking about it sets me laughing from time to time too hahaha...

Sigh. Then full-day duty today. Such a sad life I'm returning to anyway right? Haha... why so exciting hor? Heez. Ok lah quite slack today. Played this game called "XIII" on Xbox which is like CS-styled. And of course my talent for such games (or rather a lack thereof) was so obviously seen beside the prowess of lao da... Sigh. I'm so not suited for such games. *Sobs* I'd rather stick to games like Neverwinter Nights and Heroes haha.

Ok a rather long entry. Haven't had one for a real long time. Sorry if it was tiring to read. I just had to get it out. ><

Peace out
Terry
