   It's like poly life all over again !! i'm studying studying studying all over again. only difference so far is no projects.. to clarify what i've juz said, i'm studying so many restricted manuals of the SAF now. there'll be tests etc too man! every Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday we would hv lectures conducted n the whole day would be filled up by lectures, labs, classrooms(yes, i said classrooms not tutorial rooms coz they are in the dilapidated state of reminding me of my primary school tables and chairs...). No Physical Training at all on these three days. purely study. not even 5BX. gonna grow fat liaoz.. haha..
   Monday, Wednesday & Friday would have a period of about 2 hours dedicated to Physical training. very slack training also lah compared to the other units' PT. the rest of the day? Tutorials, Labs or Exercise lor... exercise as in practice what we learn. like how to connect the D-10 cables etc lah... the major exercises will be conducted in singapore at a place call "ah ma keng" n "ulu sembawang". it sure must be ulu sia. that'll be shiong as i'll be the ones running around laying cables for communication within the camp.
   the living conditions at stagmont camp is realli shoddy.. my bed is now a double decker bed. the metal frames are soooo rusty.. urks. my pillow is outta shape. my bed? do u call that a bed? it's juz a yellow sponge abt 5 inches thick covered by a white cloth. the bunk? the bunk looked like a oldern warehouse plus windows that's all.. lotsa us miss the tekong bmtc bed.. my emart opens oni on tuesday n thursday. has so limited stuff.. pathetic man.. even the vending machines are out to cheat our money. they overcharge us for most items lor.. once i tried to buy a pack of peanuts n after paying n selecting the item, it refuse to drop down. poor thing ah we all? :(
   then i heard of the bizarre news. news that my company, gryphon, had cocked up our data sheet to be submitted to the man power for selection into sispec, ocs or the various other units. The thing is OC Coy G LTA See ..and other Coy OCs had a meeting with CO BMTC .. and they all agreed that trial test IPPT results can be used.. BUT BUT BUT ...Training branch dunno what the hell happened ..they didn't use our trial test results ... they ONLY used the actual test RESULTS and Those RE-test Results ... thus, me... who passed my ippt test at the trial test was probably given a fail coz they submitted the test results oni which i din attend. heard from PS Faizal that our OC is now trying to appeal to CO.. through a petition. But its been a week.. SISPEC and OCS started training liao.. The whole COY G 's Postings got screwed up ..but Training Branch dun wanna agree... Finally that accounts for the many platoon best Recruits being posted to Weird posts like technicians.. what a pity.. fish man ! though i might not long for getting into the command schools now, i still pity the ppl like zhixun n marcus who did their best n showed their leadership.. haiz...
   finally, i'm prepared. i've already bought lotsa stuff to bring into camp today.. minty sweets bought at cheaper price than the vending machine n of coz more reliable also lah i take from the shop n save shelf surely in my hands not like the machine i put in money but nothing drop down. %^&*.... i bought chocolate bars too n also oreo biscuits. n magazines for me to read at night. arrggghhhh.. oni thing i forgot was to borrow a book home from my uncle place. looks like i gotta go back to reading The Pelican Brief liaoz... ok, cyaz next weekend ! no i mean christmas eve...
