News, events, and other interesting finds

On 2nd Aug was my unit’s (ATI) anniversary day. We went to Bukit Batok Civil Service Club for some activities. A few of my section mates and I played 2 games of bowling and I got a score of 142 in the second game. Lunch was catered for. The food was very good, considering the ones we get at camp.

After lunch, my section(-) went to play dota at Jurong Point until about 6pm, then we went for dinner and booked in early.

On thursday a thief went around my course bunks. Stole lots of stuff. My HP got stolen. In the end the thief was caught and items recovered, but all the sim cards were already gone. So I’m not contactable by HP now…

Today I distributed some items from the combat ration accessory pack. I brought them home since no one wants them, and would have been disposed of.

Wanted to go to beach road to get my CPL rank sewn on, but heard it costs $5 per uniform, so I didn’t go, and will sew them on myself.

Went to the PC Show at Suntec to have a look. Didn’t buy anything although I was tempted to get another desktop (especially now that Windows Vista is out).

Today I went to the Science Center with Azaac. Watched an Omnimax movie “Dinosaurs”.

Booked in to camp at 7pm because tomorrow got some games day, and to collect my posting details. Block leave from 4-6 June.

Today I graduated from SISPEC BSLC after the 28km route march. I got promoted to CPL and I’m now posted to ATI (Armour Training Institute).

I was sick with high fever for a few days from 12-14 May.
Ok after seeing A&E doctor and taking medicine.
I just had to produce the SAF ID card and everything was paid for.

Last week after the field camp, my bookout was held back because my company was missing a bayonet (restricted item).
They let us out on Sunday morning after failing to find the weapon. I think it was covered up.

Last Sunday evening before I booked in (same day as weapon lost weekend) Si Yi Zhang brought us (Ah Ma, Ah Gong, San Yi, Da Jiu) for dinner somewhere in Geylang.

San Yi went to China today (Saturday 26 May) and will be coming home on (3 Jun).

Will be graduating from my Basic Section Leader Course at SISPEC on Wed (promotion to CPL).
No news about having any guests. Block leave from Thursday to Sunday.

Bought a book on Tuesday during nights out.

I got posted to SISPEC! I’m happy because I thought I would be posted to armor, because I was shortlisted to attend some armor recee trooper interview, and the officer said there is no chance of getting into command school.
