♥ 10:22 PM
went on a little spending spree last week during my nights out. met up with van and got myself 2 ben sherman tee. wanted to get 2 pair of jeans but i am quite fussy person. did not manage to get any yet. but gonna get it soon. realised that i want to get alot of new stuffs. i'm hunting for a new watch as well that cost less than a thousand, a new belt and a pair of shoes. thought of getting either a hamilton, patek philippe or tag heuer watch. still hunting for the perfect time piece.
gt to do the cg machine last week. quite a challenge because there are certain things to remember. and i don think is my best performance. feel that i need to expand my capacity. my ministry is changing alot! like the mission statement "Able to provide world-class support with any equipment at any place." we have change to using mac and over the last 1 month plus or so added a new cg machine. really moving towards being world class.
enjoy being in this ministry because there are always new things to learn. impt thing i learn is how to handle pressure during "chaotic" times. after all this ministry is really a ministry where you need to pray up everyday. the stress level is high but without a little stress one will nt be able to unleash the full potential.
after sun svc, went out with a few of the guys from cg to town area to catch up. rush over to taka sushi tei to meet my mom and bro for dinner. saw this very cute young little jap boy. that aside, i really enjoy having family meal. more like a family. because my family don't really dine together often. but ever since i enter army i realised that most of my sunday are allocated for family meal.
now i am attending operator maintenance course. because this course is quite dry. the sgt and technicians really know how to lift up the mood. they will set out competition and compete with us. take for instance yest, 3 of my friends took up the challenge to change a 280kg, $15k track in 15 min. the bounty canadian pizzas! my friends lost the "bet" by 1 min.
beside that the tech there will sometime buy ice milo for us to share. come out with some wacky idea to compete like using one hand to put in the circuit breaker something like a stopper and the reward is burger. at least this course quite fun because alot of tea break. 10 - 10.30 is morning tea break, 11.30 - 1 is lunch break and 3 - 3.30 is another tea break.
although i must say this course can be quite fun but it really is tough. there are so many parts to maintain. the killer blow is when we got to do 100hrs maintenance! so far my hands alr suffer a little minor minor injury. nth big. even though i hear one wrong move you can get cut deeply. next fri will be my practical test.
counting down i'm left with only 10 days. minus weekends and public hol i'm left with only 5 days and i'll be back at kranji camp. i seriously have a good capt! a very nice guy. somehow or rather i am in charge of my brigade nights out. because i'm the only one who dare to call my capt and talk to him regarding nights out.
tuesday forgo our nights out. on thursday i wanted to forgo my nights out..but most of my friends were hoping that i go because they say if i don go they won't go as well because i was the one who made nights out happen for them. change my mind went for my nights out. meet up with van again to catch max payne. oh man, one movie down and a few more to go.
don really think that max payne is a very fantastic movie. but because of this movie made me very interested in the game. want to go and search for this game.
wed night my bunk was raided by the rats. even though we set up rat trap and stuffs still cannot catch the rats. they somehow remind me of the rat in "ratatouille". so yest my friends went to get some rat poison. they place it jus beside my cupboard!!!! whole night i had difficulty getting to slp because ard 1 plus i thought i hear something smashing into the cupboard. but decide not to get out off bed to check.
when i woke up this morning again we failed. nt even a single rat was caught. too crafty. outwit the 10 of us in bunk.
i kindda like my current bunk mates. it usually take me a very long time to warm up before i can be my ownself. but this grp of guys make it so comfortable that i start playing pranks on them, joke, act and of course the favourite is talk cock with them. best thing is i'm not only gonna spend the rest of my ns days with them even during reservist i get to c them again.
jus realise that high sch musical is out today. was in bunk during lunch break and pondering shld i catch tropic thunder since is out today as well. now make me rethink.
tmrw will be spending my whole day at expo. thank God that the reporting time change back to 12.30. it was changed to 1030. i was thinking have to wake up early and stuffs. but thank God i have a long weekend this week.
gonna talk to my dad ask him whether will he sup me a credit card if i want one. nt that i want to go on a spending spree or anything. there is a goal that i set for myself. so gonna spend the next 15 mins talking to him abt this.
i'm seriously thinking of going to aust at the end of the year. but i need to go back camp and check how many leaves am i left with. if nt next year during my b'dae i'm gonna go there. thank God my bunk mate whom we nickname "tycoon" owns his own travel agency can look for him when i flying there.
