Rantings? I dun think so.. =P

Duties were the usual yesterday.. but dun koe why.. felt so shacked yesterday becos' of my duty! 12 hrs only leh.. and I felt tat I was like on 18 hr duty! Shoulders start to ache frm the load of the SBO.. super tired lahz..

Had some really friendly interactions with 1 of the escort and some of the contractors.. they are really friendly ppl loh.. probably they are abt my age, so therefore can interact further.. 1 of the escort was so comfortable with me, tt he told me wat he did yesterday and stuff at camp.. see how well our interactions can get? Think I'm gonna make another new friend soon in camp =)

Oh.. some very weird thing happen in camp yesterday whilst I was on duty! One of the camp personnels actually brought his child into my camp to work.. but then, our rules of camp is tat no child is allowed, unless special permission is given by a higher authority! So 2LT Isaiah took hold of the situation, and then check with my OC.. During the minutes of waiting, I got curious and so I ask him a few questions..
He said tt becos the next day got audit, therefore, his officer call him to come back and finish up the report.. the officer told him tat he 'die die' muz come back and complete.. he of course explained his situation, but then the officer didnt care.. so he no choice have to bring his child back to camp and complete his work! So then u koe the kapo me, then begun asking abt his wife.. he said tat the precious wk all 3 of them got food poisoning.. so last wk, his wife stayed at home.. so then, his wife has exhaused her leave, so she has no choice but to go back to work.. so tat leaves him alone.. he wanted to take no-pay leave, but then the offcier didn't allow.. then I ask him abt his mother.. he said tat his mother is also working and he didn't want to trouble his other relatives! so ya.. haiz.. guess tat the army job is also not an easy one huh? =P

And then this morning while I was doing duty, one of the base personnel actually like mouth bad words of 2LT Isaiah Low (my acting officer for yesterday).. This all started becos this base personnel not happy tat my officer told her off, as to not to illegally stop to get off the car, becos' my friend told her a lot of times liaoz.. but she still refuses to heed the word.. so my friend decide to use a higher authority (ie, my officer) to tell her loh.. in the end, he kenna 'bitten' back (ie, gossip being said abt him at the back of him!.. of course, I didn't let him koe.. juz in case he took offence! But frankly speaking, my shift (at least my bunk mates) hold him in high regard, as in the amt of welfare he gives to us n stuff.. and as a matter of fact, we have written a chart for all the officers, and 2LT Isaiah uniamously was placed No. 1 on the chart! Tat's how much we respect him! =)

Then after we dismounted, my friend suddenly asked me whether I want to go and watch 'Aeonflux'.. since I had in mind tat I want to catch this movie, I agreed lah.. but then, for this movie, I wld only give it 2 stars out of 5! The action is not say a lot.. but I like the way she fight!.. u shld have see the way she fights! Power sia! She is the next Lora Craft to be!

However, becos I did not sleep in the afternoon b4 going out, therefore, I actually fell asleep at the middle of the show.. my eyes cld hardly open! In the end, I had to ask my friend to explain to me the story.. ha..

Then after tat, we got hungry, and one of our friends hinted very strongly abt eating Galare waffles since its half priced today for the waffles! so in the end, to make him happy, we obliged lah! So 3 of us share 1 big waffle (together with a scoop of ice-cream).. we had a hard time choosing the ice-cream flavour, since one doesn't want chocolate.. so we had to oblige and settle for our common flavour, "Orange Sorbet".. Original price was $8.60.. so half price shld be $4.30.. but then we were wrong when the bill came! it was $6.30.. becos apparently, the ice-cream is NOT half price.. only the waffles is! so ya.. felt cheated.. but then the waffles is good.. so never mind lah.. =).. And we were so hungry, tat within 10 mins, we finish the whole plate of waffles and left Galere!! Fast rite? We walk a bit of PS.. then we went home loh!

Came home, had a fantastic dinner and now, using com to do this blog! What a day!

Ok lahz ppl.. My eyes are closing.. need to sleep liaoz.. sianz.. tml got OC standby area! And speaking abt standby, my standby timing has been changed frm 2359 to 2330 and now frm 2330 to 2300! Its practically earlier by an hour! tats really bad lah! So sometimes I dun think will book out, becos no point! Reach home at 1900 and by 2130-2145, need to leave home liaoz! tats bad rite? so no pt.. waste money and time! so ya.. =(.. so if you dun see any updates, tat means I'm in camp either on P1 or duty loh.. sorry for the inconvenience folks!

Tats all folks!! =)
