Yoz pple...
Well i'm back from another 24 hour mounting day at SAFPU...wasn't too bad i guess..i got the best shift haha....8am-12 pm and 8am-12am
First shift went ok until my sergeant suddenly took a big red "Certified true copy" ink stamp to my forehead...yikes....can u imagine how it feels like to become a "true copy" of erm...yourself..hmm...points to ponder...thank god he missed man(on purpose of course)
after lunch was like sleeeeeeep all thhe way man...was so knocked out...man i'm becoming a pig...okok i know i was already one to begin with...shit self bang again
went back to work at CCTV at 8pm...to my delight...we had a "clear cell" which mean that all the detainees had been transfered out already...which also means that there is no point for survielence camera and CCTV!!!!....so i was instructed to go back up to my bunk and rest!!
However after about 10mins...i was called up and asked to change back into my full uniform and come down for last minute police escort!!!!argh!....mummy i wanna sleep!
so i dragged myself all the way down and grabbed 2 handcuffs and a key and went into the van....first stop was to central police station to pick up the detainee...man the driver had to keep under 50km/h ok sum stupid SAF regulation...so we were sitting in that stuffy (unairconditioned) van watching big lorrys and busses go past us!!!it took nearly an hour to get to the station...its some high level high tech security there man...we went to the underground carpark and got off the van...after we passed thru the entrance gate, i was shocked...man its like one big underground village down there....there were giant corridors and huge cells to keep the prisoners...the office was huge too...
This police guy got the detainee out of his cell and handed him over to us...i did my job and handcuffed one of his hands....then i realised something funnie abt the handcuffs, both sides were facing the same direction(the ones we always use face opposite directions)....so i tred to unlock the handcuffs again and to my horror the key didn't fit the hole!!!panic liao....lucky never cuff the guy to myself yet or else would be stuck to him all the way back man...later we found out that the sergeant ahd replaced 2 faulty handcuffs with the older versions and i was just unlucky enuff to get the different ones!...
so we had to drive all the way back to camp to get a matchign set of keys and all the way to tengah air base medical centre for medical review...and again like last time...this guy refused to pee on the stick....so we were like waiting for 30mins again!!!dunno how many white hairs i'll grow waiting for pple to pee man...Maybe they shd learn from betty...damn she zips in and out of toilet damn fast haha....oops...maybe shdnt have sed that...
by the time we got back was 1am already and i still had tons of paper work to do to process the new detainee....so overall i had worked 2 hours overtime...
well lets just hope that dosent happen to me many times more huh...
ok gonna practice piano...man i'm lagging like hell...i need new stuff to play....i think i shd be startin' lessons with tiger Ku(if u know who that is its my piano teacher) soon....

Chill out

well...i had mounting yesterday...which meant i was on duty for 24hours...haiz....okok its not all work...anyone will die working 24 hours lar huh!
i went to camp super early on friday...haha was the earliest....630 man....so that i wont get f***ed by sergeant again haiz...then had to give stupid commands to my platoon mates to go breakfast...i mean hello look at me do i look like the kinda guy who will shout SE-Deeeeee-YA!!!oh man i felt so paiseh! freak lar...
then we had job briefing by Mamm Shamala...the platoon sergeant!!!she's this big fat woman who talks with a indian accent and stops to eat her words every 3 words...."So you all...better learn...faster from...the lao jiao..." man its a pain to stand there for 30 mins waiting for her to finish her speech....and man can she talk....went on and on and on bout all the duties and who did wat wrong and all haiz...all the sergeants and seniors cant stand her and i think i know y...
then it came to the roster...and guess wat i was doin 2 shifts....4-8pm and 4-8am....darn the graveyard shift man...so guess wat...i was sleeping in bunk the whole morning until 4pm man...haha life is good...even managed to finish 3 chapters of my SAT2 maths book...
well not much to say about work though....just that i was pretty lucky...at 8.02pm, the Corporal guy pushed the CCTV set and the whole thing shut down...the rest of the shifts had to have one guy sitting just outside the cells to watch over the detainees....haha....poor pple...well my fren saboed me for my last hour at 7am to 8am and i had to sit there...oh man i was to tired and bored and envious of the detainees haha...they were all sprawled over the floor snoozing away....haiz...
Well i think i netter sleep now....major lack of sleep...considering i woke up at 3am yesterday....Alvin is checking out the fugly.com site...man those pic are damn funnie and some are damn sick yikes....anyone in to feel good about how u look shd visit man....

Hey again....wow lots to say today although alot tired lar huh...
I got up at 530 to so i could go down early to get a cab to camp...we had to fall in at 0655 today so that we can have breakfast at 7....my fren's dad could not fetch early so i had to sacrifice the money to get there on time...haiz....i left the house at 0600 and tried to flag a cab....but to my horror there was NO cab for like half an hour...i was soooooooooo pissed.....darn then i got into this stupid old man's cab and he drove like sooooooo slowly man he was crusin' on the highway at 70km/h at the most!i got there at 0657 and guess wat all my platoon went for breakfast already!!!!thats like 18 of my singapore dollars down the drain!!the sergeant gave me a menecing look and told me i was in for something....oh no!!!!then i went up to change quickly and went to drop a chip in the meal box without taking breakfast...lost all my appetite...lucky the dear dear sergeant was trying to scare me and told me that i would only have to be breakfast I/C for the next 2 weeks which means i have to be there early every morning to make sure everone has breakfast damn!!!!!!
today was the first actual day of work in the police station....my section was on standby today which meant we were to work 8 to 5...not too bad huh...but we were also to attend the dreded 4 click route march....darn!
2 lucky section mates of us 6 got picked to go to court to attend a hearing and they got to skip the route march! and guess wat they attended the case for like a few minutes and then went off to play LAN in town the rest of the day as the verdict didn't require them to transport the accused to camp!!!darn!
then another 3 got picked to go to a police station i think bedok to collect some detainees in the morning and guess wat....i was the only one left in camp with nothin to do....haiz....
i ended up stuck in a small room with this senior guy(name's KKK or koh kah king....i called him king koh(cole)haha) starring at some CCTV screen monitering the movement of ppl in and out of the doors.....damn damn damn boring....so i cranked up the radio on 92.4 (symphony) and everyone in the station tot i was crazy haha....oh well....now all the sergeants and platoon sergeant knows me as "the conductor"....argh!
well after 4 hours in that locked up in that CELL (pun intended)....i got to go for lunch and SLACK in the bunk awaiting my death...route march)
then my saving grace came at 2 plus when Old king cole came in and told me there was one space to send this detainee to see the medical officer! and of course it went to me as i was the only one undispatched from my section....haha....got to skip route march...
well sending the guy was pretty scary man....i had to handcuff the guy and then handcuff him to my own arm!!!so was like basically stuck to some criminal all the way to the doctors...man i was scared that he would pull a fast one and do something funny(not in the good sense)....luckily the guy was pretty Guai all the way there...then we had to bring him to the toilet to let him pee on some stick to test his urine...he refused to pee ok....we were like stuck sitting in the toilet for like 15 mins b4 he could get any "zhui"(water) out....man!
after that it was smooth crusin for me....haha slack in bunk until dinner and book out...

Well i reallie need to sleep now....dont wanna be late for breakfast tomorrow....

Heya...
WoW even i'm surprised i'm home today haha....got to book out today ok here's a summary of the past week.

1) on monday i got posted to Station platoon....heng ar! Paper work and processing....the other platoon is anti riot....its like sleeping in bunk all day and waiting for some stupid whistle and they all have to run down in full gear to do PT....thank God i'm not there...what i'm doin is alot more tedius but i always thot of myself as a more sedentry guy lar...paper work is my thing man....

2) there was RUNNING everyday!.....oh man i tot can slack liao!....darn....tuesday was the 5km regular run....and guess wat i almost died....after that was some pullups and pushups and stuff and man i felt horrible...i puked out ALL my breakfast after that man...darn....today had a 3km run i can't believe i survived that one too man the sergeant was goin sooooooo fast...we finished it in just over 10mins....thats like silver standard for ippt 2.4 man...well tomorrow's the route march...i guess if i survived all this i'll come out of it in one piece....

3) I keep getting suaned for being fat man...ok indirectly by the superiors and sometimes even my platoon mates...i think i'm goin on a diet...this week i'm gonna cut out all junk food and see how it goes from there...thats gonna be hard as i have idiot bunk mates who open "provision" shops in the bunk and then go on bindging all the way man....darn....ok resist temtation!

4)My section mates are pretty cool....i tot i woudn't fit in that well as most were from other sections previously but most of them turned out to be pretty nice pple...at least there are pple encouraging me when i think i cant make the last part of the run and all...and pple to force super deep fried soft shell crabs and pringles down ur throat and make u feel fat...we'll see how it goes in the next few weeks haha

Been doin my SAT 2 book religously in the bunk....haiz...i hate math and now have to start from scratch again...i think my bunk mates are getting tired of me asking whats x+y and all haha....can't wait for it to be over!

Hope the rest of the week is slack....can't take this any more!

Well off to watch my FAVOURITE show....CHARMED!!!man they look good....Pheobe in a tail is gonna give me a flippin' good nite haha...

Heyz pple
Well today was ok i guess...woke up early to spend like 20 bucks on a cab to camp...and it was raining so instead of doin physical training, we did "sai kang" or shit job....cleaning up the whole ZPC block and clearing the rubblish...
Well just as we finished, guess wat? The sun just had to come out...so we all fell into the parade square for PT!...well not all of us....some preple got to skip the WHOLE session of PT because they were allocated the job of cleaning the gas masks! unfair....
PT started off with about 100 pushups and 100 jumping jacks...then 2 rounds round the parade square....then more pushups then we had some stupid race back and forth the parade square....man we were tired...on top of that, the last 2 in each grp of 6 had to do an extra 20 pushups...and guess who got it man....haiz....life sux....then we proceded with more and more pushups and more rounds round parade square....i tell u my arms were shaking and giving way....
well after this tekan session we finally got to book out,....YAY!
went to meet some of my former section mates for LAN and went home to rest....
Barely an hour after i go home...it was time to go for my cousin's b'dae party at EMBASSY!
well me sis and i went round the whole suntec and city link to settle on a FCUK bag for her present...cost me 100 bucks....
dinner was good....man the beef and dessert was superb....then it got to clubbing and well the club was quite empty...so Lionel betty brendan and I were like quite bored....at least it was all free even the drinks...they kept playing LONG LONG retro songs yukz...
after midnight the music got alot better and shifted to hip hop yeah!,,,,but i was sooooo tired i couldn't move a muscle i just lay on the couch and listened to the bass beats while lionel and brendan danced haha...it was quite funnie...
Well thanx guys for coming...was quite fun dispite my fatigue and also the lack of pple and good music....maybe we shd go for an AC party next time man...haha....
Well needa sleep....yawn!

Booked in to do PT...hah 100 pushups 150 crunches hell lota jumping jacks and after all that frenzy, 2.4km run!
The rest of the day was slack...sat in the lecture room and waited for lunch and sat there and waited for dinner...oh well not to mention the countless canteen breaks....I was contemplating staying in today as we have to book in early tomorrow and there is no one to send me...haiz....but the thot of my bed and a nice hot shower made me change my mind...looks like another 18 bucks on taxi fare tomorrow...
Goin clubbin with botz and lionel tomorrow...guess having 2 of my bestest friends with me is gonna cheer me up abit....
My poor friends in APC are all suffering....poor Istana ppl have the crazy PT of their sadistic PC and well the rest have bunk inspection which we all know is more tekan session than inspection....hey guys i think u all just knock it down 20 for everyone in the room next time the sergeant walks in and save the misery of inspection lar...no point one there is no way to avoid dust....

Hi just needed to put down how i feel...
Well today was posting after like 3 days rest after NDP...i must say it was damn slack today...however i feel something was missing...
Dunno felt lost most of the day. Like it was so serreal that after like 18 weeks together with my platoon mates, we were finally seperating...
ZPC seems like an ok place other than the frequent "regular" runs and route march and the roumered "SOC" argh!....
Even now i can't reallie send myself to sleep...my heart feels heavy somehow (ok maybe i had one too many ferrero rochets just now)...but like departing with friends i have just gotten comfortable with feels bad..
Dunno i'll always remember all those quirky times we had in the bunk "raping" each other...i dont think thats gonna happen in ZPC...i even miss SPDS and rifle spinning (gosh i never thot i would ever say this)...when the PC asked us who wanted to be posted elsewhere just now, i had a sudden rush and wanted to put up my hand and say APC for some reason...I know i hate torture but i think i'm losing out on some other stuff with my desicion to go ZPC...
Well dunno neede to get this off my chest, even if no one reads it...
I guess i needa sleep now staying tomorrow and running first thing in the morning...Hope i dont kana my First ever guard duty this week man...

Well Goodnite to whoever reads this...
