Last week nothing much, 2 days of islandwide driving. Nights out and eating at Changi Village had already drained out my wallet LOL. But the Ipoh Hor Fun at Changi Village that is highly recommended by ch U etc .. is damn nice MUST TRY !!! Heng go Islandwide driving ping ping an an sun sun li li except, on the 1st islandwide, back at camp when going to park, the unimog broke down again. The same unimog which broke down at East Coast Park, guess the mechanics did not do a good job.
The next bunk brought PS2, so typically everyday they are playing. It used to be our bunk the first to get up, but now is the opposite. Sometimes abit too much, middle of the night people trying to sleep still shout. Thursday was OC Change of Command parade. As i lost my beret during islandwide driving, i volunteered to be the food party helping Kok Fai, Garrad and Xiang Xin, so not involve in the parade YEH !!!
Around 330pm went to cookhouse to collect the food for tonight. It was buffet SFI style. Fried rice, fried chicken wings, fish roll, and dessert. Set up everything at the officer mess relaxing when, RSM and CO sat there. We became very uptight and nervous. Around 20mins later they left, so we sat and rest. At around 530, the caterer brought food, which encik ordered. Got siew mai, spring roll, fried wanton, satay, chicken wings and the die die must try honey dew sago. Before the parade started, we tested the quality of the sago LOL. Took around 5 helpings. Around 6pm eveyone arrived.
Special guests were, OC's family, CPT MAX wife, CO, RSM, S1 , S3, S4, OC TCC2, OC CCC, ex trunk 1 OC, 1sg Kenny, LTA Jason and 2SG Garrad, now in Stagmont Camp. 1SG Kenny was the MC, interviewing us how we felt under the command of OC. After that was a video presentation compiled by Staff Muru and Benson. 90% of the pictures were sponsored by me. At the end of the video, OC gave us a speech and later broke down. We then went to lau yu sheng before had dinner. This time beer was sponsored.
AFter dinner was time to relax and enjoy. Can play golf, pool, table soccer, computer, watch tv, sing ktv. The junior platoon got 1 guy damn low profile abit funny, knn he sing Yan Zi song sibei power !!! Dunno how to describe, but he can sing very high key, everyone was stunned and asked him to sing somemore. Next was 1SG Kenny, when he sang Mei Yan Fang's song, wah it was so alike that it felt so eerie, as though "she" was singing. Potential SG Idol, last year he performed at CO evening also. The junior platoon golden bayonet sang lots of hokkien songs.
That night 1 mission, to make the old and new OC drink and drink and drunk dead. Our specs kept on toasting mam until she vomited a few times. The officers were involved in a beer competiton. Last to finsh drink again. SAF beer special , specially manufactured and taste damn horrible. This was my first time drinking Tiger damn bitter. When the SAF Tiger ran out, they went out to buy another 3 cartons of Tiger beer. This time the beer tasted better. At around 10pm went back bunk.
Friday morning got new year celebration, so mass breakfast at 9am. Talk by CO, presentation of awards and NPT certs to various Node Commanders. Breakfast was western, scrambled eggs, hot dogs, baked beans and hash browns. My first breakfast after 3 months. After breakfast, the varios OCs, CSMs , PCs and PSs gave us 2 oranges and an ang pow. The ang pow contained 2 chocolate coins.
As my specs were ready, I decided to go PS to collect them. The rest of the guys haven bought any clothes, so tag along. I took Xiang XIn's father van to Jurong Point. As the back was filled with laundry, I had to climb in, felt like sleeping inside so comfortable. Took MRT to PS, collected my specs and Xiang Xin's friend show us newer models. Spent like another 1h there and Xiang Xin made a new specs. Walked around left at 5pm damn damn tired.
