♥ 8:39 PM
caught the sneak preview of bride wars with van last sun. reckon that i shld not waste my CNY away since i had to be back in camp for guard duty on CNY. man anne hathaway is so pretty in the movie. she is probably the biggest reason why i am i catching most of her show. well bride wars definately trump rach getting married. back in camp i was talking with my friend abt this show and he agreed that it was a great movie as well.
straight after the movie we headed to starbucks at pacific plaza since it was the only outlet in orchard area that is opened for 24hrs. only left the place at 6 plus.
monday was a very sian day for me. the thought of having to go back camp at night really sour my mood. i mus say this year i really don't enjoy CNY.
tuesday was spend doing guard duty with my friends.
wednesday i was disapatch out of camp to help out with the team that is going to india with the loading of bronco. went to jurong port after lunch. practically i was there for 12 straight hours and only reached back camp at 1am!!
i must say that this is a very good exp. first time i get to exp how to load the bronco onto a cargo ship. first time entering a port and i think that is the furthest you can drive in singapore since the road sign reads jurong port (end). get to board a cargo ship for the first time and use their toilet which smell like the latrine on board an airline.
basically is a whole new exp. the only part that i hated was the brief wait from mayb 3 plus to 4 or 5 plus doing nth and also they nv indent my dinner. only managed to have dinner at 1am. but i must say all the sgt and encik really treated me very nice keep on asking me drink water since the weather is very hot and even went to get a bottle of drink for me.
despite that i won't mind going there again when those bronco arrive back in march or may.
thursday..i was half hoping that i get to wake up late since i reached camp super late the previous day. but nope still woke up at the same time. did not feel energetic the whole day because of the lack of rest. but thank God that day had to help BTO go check out some stuffs for officer's CNY celeb. got to book out at 2pm.
head down to akira warehouse and IMM to get our things done. was supposed to go to carl's jr for dinner but because my good friend had a change of heart wanted to head back to camp early so after getting all the things done we had dinner at IMM before heading back to camp at 7pm.
spend a gd 10 - 15 mins in office to check out our guard duties for the month of feb. wah for the first time i only have 2 weekdays and 1 weekend guard! however i heard this coming month is just a rest period for us. which is like huh...means march onwards is guard duties siao again. moment i reached bunk, bathe, waited for one msg and i was fast asleep only for the rest who book in at 11 to disturb my slumber.
skip life run today since i have a secondary appointment and that is to be a time keeper. thank God that my senior help me. wasn't feeling very well since my last guard duty on sat and also my body giving some weird signal on the first day of CNY. with this unofficial appointment i was able to take it easy this week with no life run at all!
book out at 11am for cohesion. had lunch at crystal jade at jurong point with my branch office people followed by a movie session.
actually i did not really want to catch any of the local shows this year because i think not very nice. but as usual CNY period don't offer great shows. i won't say that it was a good movie but as usual like all jack neo's movie it provide a great deal of laughter.
by the time the show was over it was 4pm and we were dismiss. stayed back to hang around with a grp of my branch people shopping ard jurong point. finally managed to take a good look of the new revamp jurong point.
along the way had a discussion with my branch sgt. he is going to ord in june with my seniors and he is a finance spec. apparently right now he has no understudy and the latest name to be his understudy have been rejected by my oc. was talking to him i don mind being his understudy. don mind nt being a finance spec i can always be a finance corporal. although he has no say but than he can recommand.
now still thinking whether to throw my name in the prospect list. although i think even if i am his understudy i will still need to maintain my bronco and still carry out my primary appointment.
quite sian dunno wad is wrong with the ppl in army. apparently i supposed to be promoted right now. my BX friends have been officially promoted to LCP. right now they are trying to find out why our names were not key into the data base which is hindering our rightful promotion. because of this i am losing out alot financially. hope that they get it sorted out soon so...
i think tmrw i need to make my way down to holland v to do some stuffs.
during lunch at crystal jade my friends were suggesting that we go batam at the end of the feb for some water sports. look like most of us will be going when everything is confirm.
