Drills, drills, for CO COC

This week most shag, more shag than EX. Everyday drills for CO COC (Commanding Officer Change of Command) this Monday evening. Our present CO LTC Milton Ong, would be replaced by LTC Percival Goh. My current CO is a high flyer man, 21 Sept 04 came as new CO, 26 Sept 05 leaving.


Everyday around 8am draw arms, 9am start drills till around 1130. Then go for lunch back around 2pm to further drill till around 5 then dinner. During drills, so scorching hot, sleepy, wet, tired, numbness and achings. After UIP, life got much much muchhhh better. Got rank, beret, no need to march and sing, go for meals OTOT, basically the commanders would not be finding fault with you.


Last Monday was CO evening, also a farewell party for our current CO. We had buffet, standard stuff like fried bee hoon, mee, fried rice, chicken wings ... !!! OYSTERS, FRIED ICE CREAM, HANDMADE SUSHI BY A CHEF !!! wah this is new, guess they spent quite alot.


Almost everynight, we would be screening movies at the company's mess. Garrad brought alot of Stepehn Chow's movies. Most of his shows are damn cock man. Friday lots of sai gang to do, though commanders helped out, still last company to book out.
Most of the seniors clearing leave. WOndering whether to go Ravnica prerelease.


This morning set alarm at 7am, couldn't get up. Garrad called to confirm that i was going to prerelease at Suntec. Reached Suntec around 820, waited for Garrad. By the time we reached the place, there were quite a number of people there. First time joining such event. Garrad told me, that I would be competing with 4 people in the first round. OMG, playing with total strangers damn paiseh.


This is how it goes.

1) After registering, you are given your table number, sit there. 1 table got 6 players

2) After the jugdes verfied you are legal, they will give each player 1 pack of cards of 75 cards and another 2 packs of cards with 13 cards each.

3) After you opened them, you had to checked them on alist.

4) At the end, you form your deck and wait for the next round.


Initially formed a white-red deck, but finally chose a white-green.


My first opponent

We had almost identical deck man, can you believe our 1st round took 20mins, which even ended with a draw with library death. The second round, tried to be more offensive still the same. In the end, also draw. 1/2 (Draw)


Second opponent


I couldn't believe it man, I was against my army buddy Wilson, what a coincidence, buy 4d also not so heng. SO many people we can also be paired up. In the end I won him 2/3. (Win)


Third opponent


This guy looks damn pro man, played a Black, Green, White deck. Though the deck are new, he new the combo to play. 0/3. (lost)


Fourth opponent


Sec 5 boy, played a white- red deck. For 2 times, i wack him till he left 5 life remaining, i don't know how he manged to wipeout all my creatures and gained so much life. 1/3. (lost)


After this match, we both went to collect additional packs. Garrad, Siyan and Wilson decided to sign up the 2nd event, so I left and went beach road to sew my rank on my smartest 4 for parade. It was a rather new experience, playing with strangers on a fair deck, created on the spot. Well in camp, Garrad and Si Yan had much powerful deck that they spent building, possibility of winning them is pure luck.

Just came back from 2 EX with the senior nodes. Though my job very simple but very sian nothing much to talk to them. All they kept shouting was ORD LOH !!! Good things is can eat lots of fresh rations and soft drinks. I never drank so much soft drinks in my life. More than 10X 1.5l of drinks in my disposal LOL.


Second EX woke up at 4++ to get prepared for ex, one of the earliest node in the battalion. SPent almost 2 days and 2 nights, not bad second day do sentry still got ice-cream to eat. Supposedly left deployment ground on thursday to another deployment site, but we do not have the key and had to wait for our OC to get the keys. In the end, went back camp for standby for another deployment. Slept till next day 12++, woke up saw no one in my bunk, all went for EX. As my lunch was not indented, went to had a hair cut and canteen to buy lunch. The food there is cheap and good r00x0r. After lunch helped the senior nodes to keep the stores. Soon later my node came back, so helped them. At night got nights out till 2130. Something very fishy nights out till 2130.


KNNBCcB TONIGHT GOT TURNOUT!!!


Will not reveal what is a turnout, unless you ask me personally. Many will say tekan/ torture. Our turnout was sibei jiak lat, as PC said HELL.


The hell seemed never to end, finally ended around 7++am. After that breakfast was indented, bathe and went to sleep till lunch. Finally no need to march already UIP over loh !!!


Birthday surprise for Jian Cheng.


That night when we went for nights out, discovered was JC's birthday. So finally last minute decided to buy a cake to surprise him, dunno what flavour to buy, so bought chocolate. Because we wasted lot of time chosing the cake, we had to sprint back to company, afraid the cake would be smashed. Few hours before booking out, we had a birthday surpise in his bunk. Guess he was very touched hahha. A very unforgettable 23rd birthday, especially he had a turnout as a present.


He decided to treat us to Cafe Cartel for dinner, meet Raffles City around 8pm. By the time left camp to reach home already 8pm. Met the rest of the guys. As JC ttreating us dinner, each of us decided to fork out money to get him a present. We spent nearly 1hr at Levis. We bought him a pair of jeans and shirt. The dinner totaled around $280++ LOL
(biggest outing ever : Me, Garrad, Si Yan, Xiang Xin, Alvin, Jimmy, Kelvin ong, Steven, Eric, Thien Rong, Anthony, Jasper, Gerry, Nelson, Wilson, Chee Keong and JC.)


Thanks JC for the treat and hoped you liked the presents.
