This week may be quite slack since we spent most of our time sleeping, but we had our weekend burnt in exchange. Stupid turnout. Totally pointless
Monday we did a Route March of 10km Outfield. Well its pretty much the same as walking 10km of dismounted assault since we didn't carry field pack. Only rifle and LBV. After that we had the rest of the day to ourselves and we did what we do best in camp. Sleep!
Tuesday we spent the whole day sleeping, we had nights out since we weren't involved in marching in the COC rehearsal. I went to some LAN shop in Bukit Batok to join the rest in having some fun. Was the first time I tired Left 4 Dead. Hahax
Wednesday there was Brigade Commander Change Of Command Parade. It started in the evening. My company only some driver was involved in the parade. The rest of us extras wave at the outgoing Brigade Commander when he leaves. Hahax
Thursday we spent the whole day sleeping again. We even had nights out again. The commanders are having some cohesion in the evening and because of that they ask us to book out. Hahax
Friday we didn't get to book out because of the mock ABTF turnout. We did the full preparation except loading of ammo for the turnout. But the real ammo came. We just didnt load it. After we finally stand down, we got to book out on Sunday afternoon.
Total waste of a good weekend...

This week seems quite short. Monday I took MC so that I can apply JPAE at home. People take leave I take MC. My PS ask me to come back to endorse my MC but I dont give a damn. ORD coming. No one gives a damn anymore
Tuesday there was a Route March of 7.5km. Only a few took part. Quite a number of them, including myself. Did not take part. The Company 2IC gather us and ask us why we didnt march and we just tell him its pointless and we dont want to march. Like I said no one gives a damn anymore.
Wednesday morning 3km endurance run and as usual a lot didnt take part. I ran only 1km and I went back. Lazy to run. I took part just to show some face so that I can go nights out. But anyway everyone get to go for nights out.
Thursday I did Guard Duty. Wasnt fast enough so I ended up doing Sentry. Haiz quite boring doing sentry on a week day.
Friday was Total Defense day. There was some Victory Challenge at my camp and all those who did guard duty the day before had to take part. Means no guard rest... I had to take part in some telematch shit. Well my company did not win this time though. Well the only thing good was that we book out in the afternoon. At night I met my Shamir and some of his camp mates. Went to OCH for a little tour. Well... Nothing interesting happened though.
Saturday was one of my camp mate, Puven's birthday. He made a function at Yishun SAFRA. Apparently he spent a good 5000+ Organizing a function like this. Well at least it was quite interesting. Had fun though. But of all time he did it on Valentine's day...

Last training before ATEC. The second last Outfield. The 4 Days 3 Nights 2nd Full Troops Exercise. 4 Missions in total. After 4 days I'm totally drained. My section's Vehicle did not move out since it's still at the workshop. So my section had to squeeze into Section 2 vehicle and 2 guys had to go platoon 10. The rest moved out on Monday from Gedong at 4pm. Had 4 missions to complete. One Advance Mission. One Mounted Assault Mission. One Night Advance Mission and finally a Delay Mission. Non of the mission we contact an Enemy. The 3rd day was the most tiring. Long walks with no sleep. After all was over Friday was pretty much a relaxed day. Breakfast no one bordered to wake up. Not one Sergeant came down to ensure also. Only some went for breakfast. Even I slept all the way to first parade. Hahax
Friday my platoon booked out early since they still owe us early book out.
3 More weeks and its ATEC. The final Outfield. And after that its ORD after 2 months. Now its 3 more months left. I'm starting to see the Light!!!

Finally its the Chinese New Year! The long weekends! Was actually planning to go Malaysia with my relative but due to some mishap the plan had to be canceled... Two days of visiting of relative and enjoying great food instead of shitty camp food. And one day of rest from two days of holiday. Wednesday before I book in I started having fever. Thursday report sick have to go all the way to 4Sir at Lim Chu Kang Camp... Had Light Duties so I slept through the whole of Thursday and most of Friday. Booked out on Friday after that. There was some ADF Guy who camp to give a recruitment talk on Friday. Psycho us to join ADF and will get 18k all. After a good half to an hour talk. Not one person stayed to listen more. Hahax
Next week is FTX 2. And my vehicle is still at the workshop. Coz of that my section's vehicle is not moving out and the whole section have to freaking squeeze in the other section's vehicle... 4days 3night Outfield... Haiz... Hope I fall sick and get to fall out man... Sick of damn Outfields...
