It's my brother's 24th birthday today... happy birthday Kenny! hope you're having fun in Melbourne, and see you soon...! :D

didn't get confined this weekend because the rest of the platoon booked out today as well, so I finally got to be out on a Saturday after so long. shiokadoo. :) suddenly just felt lost, like totally didn't know where to go or what to do, so ended up staying at home changing the water of the fish tank, sweeping the floor (I didn't know it was so dusty/dirty, trust me, even the bunks are cleaner), treating myself to some chocolate downstairs, paying my phone bill, and watching my neighbour play a bit of mahjong. LOL. walked along East Coast beach with my mum for a while in the evening.. felt so peaceful and relaxed when I looked at the sea and the little children playing with the sand and families sitting around on mats having their little picnics.. haha. after that we headed to Subway for dinner.. Subway Melt was yummy... :D

booking in tomorrow evening, then booking out on Monday evening again after platoon live firing, coz over the next two weeks we'll be having some stay-out RP course at Clementi Camp. far sia. lol. but never mind, coz I really needed this little break. :) wasted, cannot catch the Chelsea- ManU match tomorrow night... :( last week also miss the Liverpool-ManU one. what a move.















































































































































I miss you guys...

Here's a quick update! need to book in soon lol. ok basically, I've been given 3 weekend confinements, for the next three weeks. minus this weekend means two more weekends left. WHY? for bringing a HARMLESS LITTLE MP3 PLAYER into camp. lol. I don't understand, if can bring radio why cannot bring MP3. it's not like we brought in any USB cable or anything. oh yes by the way, PSPs are banned too. not that I have a PSP though, but the sergeants bring it too la. so, I really dunno.

anyway, for the next two weekends, it will be something like, booking in early at 8am on Saturday morning, serve 24 hours doing whatever they want you to do, and then book out again on Sunday 8am then book in back again on the same day at night. lol. interesting ehh.. wasted la didn't manage to go climb with the rest that day.. it's been really long since I last climbed.. been a long time since we met each other too. :( no worries, I'll be back climbing soon! as soon as I can make it. haha..

smile! :)

This week has been a very tiring and hectic week for everyone in PLAB.. lol. Why? Because of the RSAF Open House that comes once every two years and so lucky it must happen during my NS life. But it's okay, the experience was good. Though it was tiring, it was fun. haha. It isn't every day that you get to meet pilots up close to chit-chat, or maybe just getting to stand under the wing of a F-16 Black Knight aircraft. :)

My duty was pretty relaxed as compared to my other friends who had to do traffic marshalling and stuff. I and 3 other guys basically had to take turns to man this booth that advertised our unit--Field Defence Squadron, and just give them a brief intro to some of the gadgets used in our base. The weather has been funny though, at times it'd be scorching hot then at other times there would be huge heavy raindrops falling on our heads. Poor guys... a few of them came back with red lobster V-necks. lol.

Oh yes yesterday I was one of the lucky few selected for a Chinook ride. =D damn cool man, we flew from our base to MacRitchie Reservoir, Sentosa and East Coast before coming back to camp, taking a total of 15 minutes. A once in a lifetime experience, I must say. It isn't like sitting in a plane where the cabin is usually pressurised. The Chinook doesn't really fly that high actually, but still below the clouds, so the rear ramp is always open during the flight. Jesseca Liu came too! but wasted I wasn't there to see. haha but it's ok coz I was on the Chinook and the experience was worth it. :D

Collected quite a few freebies too! haha.. my favourite was this red little tag with the words "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" printed in white on it. it's very nice.. similar to the ones stuck to a lot of parts of the aircraft that were on display. I was looking forward to a Black Knights aerial display actually, but nevertheless the display put up was good. Oh my mum, sis and her boyfriend came to visit today too, and brought lots of yummy goodies along.. thanks again! :)

Had fever about two nights ago, just a night before it was open to the public. Temperature was 38.3. lol. what a move. luckily my friend had panadol then I sweated it out overnight and it was gone in the morning. but now I can sense an impending sore throat. sad sia. The food that came in the ration packets all either got fry or something one, eat everyday sure sore throat. haha but what to do, also cannot don't eat. so, SUCK THUMB :D
