My second bookout of mi bmt life started yesterday afternoon!! Shiok and to tynk i only need to go back on tuesday afternoon while most of mi frens need to go back by monday nite!! It's not because i'm slacking but coz i have an interview on tues morning!! SHIOK!!

Lemme talk bout the week first, basically we learn bout camoflage and concealment..using the leaves and the environment to conceal ourselves from the sight of the enemies..i haf to sae it was quite fun man..we all came out of it looking like bushes..mind u..when i say camoflage i dun mean sticking a few leaves here and there..it means we practically look like a bush..haha so bushified..

And better than tt, we learn how to use our rifles properly..to aim and fire..wowee man!! tt's relly fun..juz like playing a computer game initially..coz we using simulation..damn shiok..i'm a left hander but surprisingly..mi right hand is super..all mi shots were accurate man..haha shiok!! shooting rocks!!

Ok besides tt..the highlight of the week got to be on fri, when i told a sergeant tt sergeant arafat has no brains. Ok it's like this. Mi and mi whole company are in rows of 15 all spreaded out doing some exercises. Sergeant arafat was the one conducting the exercises and he's not happy wif our movement, coz the pple behind seem to lag by bout 2s. The thing is tt when arafat gives commands, it's not exactly veh loud and the pple behind cannot hear, therefore the pple in front need to echo, but because of reaction time, by the time the pple at the back reacts, the pple at the front are already in position. So arafat was not happy and keep changing our position eg. pushup position change, crunches position change, jumping jack in position change etcetc...and all these are done damn fast. I was in front, and was juz in mi pushup position when i had to change to crunches position, so given the 2s time lag, u can imagine the dominoes effect from the front to the back lar.

So he was not happy and gave us many pushup crunches and jumping jack punishment. Because we were doing all these positions on sandy ground, all the sand were flying everywhere and all the Sirs could see it. Many pple had irritation wif the eyes etc and yet arafat still want us to do 30 counts of 4 jumping jack as punishment coz we were not shouting loud enough when obviously some pple are having problems wif sand in their mouth and eyes etc. I was damn pissed coz i already shout damn loud..But still got punished for nothing. So i was scolding when a sergeant heard and asked mi wad i said lar. I tynk he saw tt i was veh agitated coz he kept telling mi to cool down and he'll reflect it to arafat.

So yesterday mi platoon sergeants asked hu scolded arafat brainless, so i stood up and explained miself. I also gave them an analogy, i said tt if all the sergeants were to be in our position yesterday and i were to make them conform to the same standards tt arafat wants, which was for everyone to haf simultaneaous actions instead of the dominoes effect, they also surely cannot make it. And then they understood wad i was saying because for everyone to haf same reaction is brainless and spastic and cannot be done because of the fact tt sound takes time to travel! So they din fault mi and juz told mi tt that is arafat's character.

haha..i'm sure he hates mi now man..but well, he can't do anything against mi. But i guess i do haf to learn to control mi temper. I realise tt i'm finding it harder and harder to control mi anger and temper in the army. Sometimes when i see mi own platoon mates not putting in 100% effort, i'd feel veh angry coz they'd be sth like the sabotage kings and always get us into trouble...well i need anger management!!

On tuesday, i went for mi manual dexterity test and mi god..it's relly difficult man. There's one part where they require u tomould a molar tooth our a plasticine following the model they gave. Since i'm not relly artsy, i can't relly visualise how to mould it and mi final product looked absolutely hilarious man...But well, i believe tt if God wants mi to study dentistry, no matter the obstacles, i'll still be selected. SO i juz haf to wait for mi interview on tuesday now..

Btw, the fact tt i got to the manual dexterity test was also a miracle. I was on the way home from tekong to get mi stuff before going to nus when mi father called. He offered to go home and fetch mi there and i was like ok wif it since he was free. When i was nearing home, i suddenly realised tt i did not bring mi house keys home from tekong!! And tt's where i juz relly thanked God for this miracle that mi father would call mi and offer to fetch mi there. It's relly a miracle coz mi father usually wun call to fetch mi and i told him tt he did not need to fetch mi earlier in the week lar..so i juz felt so blessed man..

Yesterday i went out wif d'euqilco to watch the interpreter as well as to haf dinner. The show was quite nice and the UN building relly looks quite nice. The plot was quite nice and it sort of caught mi by surprise earlier but about 3/4 way i could already guess the ending..still the buildup and the suspense was great! We had dinner at ajisen and i went to kajiao a waitress working there. It was quite farni coz i supposed tt she was only bout 15 or 16..and yet she was wearing a silver ring on the 4th finger on her left hand. So while refilling mi water, i asked her if she was married..hahaha damn farni man...i'm so bad..argh..

Subsequently we went to coke red bar at cathay cineleisure to juz sit and talk..since they offered free xbox gaming there, i played wif xiaoqian and weibin lar..quite fun. Watched many trailers there and i must say tt i'm relly looking forward to star wars episode 3 man!! hahaha shiok!! i'll update more when i get home..mi parents wanna go buy a car..cya all..to mi frens and classmates leaving tags..thx man..esp to james man..always there to encourage mi and to all 03s08 pple too! Sorry tt i couldn't join the last few outings..cya all soon!!
