the busy days in camp is gonna last for another month or 2 before i fly to australia for exercise wallaby. find the management kindda screw up in camp this week. because i made an effort to check last week whether is there any deadline for the vehicles that are going to wallaby.
no deadlines were given. however this week i was bombarded with many calls asking for the handing over of the vehicles. rushed out 5 vehicles for them but because of the miscommunications and other stuffs i dunno what they want to do. just do my part the rest just let my superior deal with it.
friday was our brigade anniversary. thank God that my junior gave me a ride to chevron since i can't used the car yesterday. after the celebration me along with 4 other drivers went back camp to work on the vehicles since my master promise to hand over 2 veh.
he already made a few of us angry by promising people to hand over another 2 veh. say alot of nice things like he can give us a ride back to camp. but he was nowhere to be found in camp and the tech who was supposed to help us were not even in camp.
after that we went to prep for our soccer. went on to win the match 8-1 against HQ armour. i think or rather 90% confirm that the brigade is in the finals which will be on next thursday. once again assured of a medal already and also some off to look forward to.
today went to take a look at some cars and have to make my decision soon which car to choose from. test drive the toyota vios racing edition, hyundai i30 and kia cerato. tomorrow gonna go test drive the nissan latio sport series. somehow is just between toyota or nissan.
thankful that my parents are willing to get me a car.

finally got my exercise regime back on track. ever since exercise DA started i have not been exercising as much as i wanted. partly also because i was quite lazy. but because of the recent concluded inter-company soccer tournament i started to slowly exercise.
with Army Half Marathon around the corner training for it since i am a second year soldier and have to complete 21km. just did my first 10km run at MacRitchie Reservoir on tuesday where i clock just slightly above 70 mins. did my second 10km where i clock 58 mins.
after the run at MacRitchie Reservoir met up my ord senior at plaza sing for dinner. kindda surprised that he got me and my 2 friends a t-shirt from japan.
at the same time training for the inter-unit soccer tournament. managed to get in the 16 men that brigade is sending to compete in this tournament which will start tomorrow.
all this exercise is a good thing since i am also training to clear my 2nd year window for ippt. at least now i know i am somehow in good shape to go take my ippt.
life in camp getting more and more busy and there are more and more things for me to handle. more deadline to meet. good thing is my new superior is a very nice guy so there isn't much pressure. how i wish that the year will end sooner so that i can slowly slowly start handing over my tasking to my juniors while i start to have the ORD mood.
getting very very hard for me to balance my life. every week after i booked out all i want to do is just stay at home to rest up and not be at anywhere. can't seem to find enough rest in camp since everyday is just work and work.
the only thing i looked forward after office hours is our movie screening. not so bad caught quite alot of movies that are not out in singapore yet and some recent movies like "the unborn", "walled in", "dolan's cadillac" just to name a few.
had dinner with my parents today. was talking about how my auntie want to retire. i think is 100% confirm that next year immediately after i ORD i will be taking over the shop at queensway and start my apprenticeship.
i also can't say for sure is that what i really want to do. but nonetheless is better than to fold the shop. i do have other goals but the only thing hindering me is $$$ to fulfill my goals. so like fragance hotel boss i gonna help my parents in their business save up the $ and probably venture into other business.
next week will go test drive. gonna scout for my first car.

super BUSY in camp over the last few weeks. i hold the appointment of 2ic in my branch. but everyday without fail, the IC will be asked to do errands for my encik and in the end the person that suffer will be me.
alot of info are being pump into me. practically assuming the ic position for a month plus. work in camp keep stacking. seems like impossible to clear it.
i am practically in charge of almost every events that is coming up. status of indian fleet vehicles, preparing for wallaby fleet of vehicles, the numerous vehicles whose servicing are due, gathering names for wallaby, marching contingent for COC parade and other more.
very tempted to take a break from camp but not very worth it now to start wasting my off since i already wasted alot of off.
at least i thank God that my juniors 60% of them are super "garang" and really helped me alot and do up the task that i allocated to them.
don't really have much time for other things since work in camp take up most of my time. even during the weekend is all about work since people will call me up and ask abt stuffs.
so naturally nights out mostly are spent at yew tee for a quick dinner before heading back to camp to rest and have our daily movie screening.
but the good thing to it is that i have been spending alot of time with my army mates. even had our 2nd movie outing together before i go back camp last sat for COS duty.
this week had soccer tournament. played our heart out. the tournament was concluded on friday where we emerge as the champion. at least the pace in camp is generally quite ok now where we can have some inter-unit tournament a so call in camp cohesion.
the decentralise zone svc to me i think is a success even though there were a few mistakes here and there but at least the people who were in the same team as me got to do something new. glad that everybody got to learn something new and garner the experience. somehow is always through this events that you get to do something different. not only do my team members learn something new i too discover the many limitations that i experience helming the svc. but at least i do get to learn a few new things in the ministry too.
