Confinement = BORING SUNDAY,,,

I was supposed to be booking out this Friday, but due to a route march scheduled at night, the book out was postponed to Saturday morning. What made it worse was that i was late for a mere minute on the last book in, thus, ending up spending the whole Saturday at camp...

Maybe it was just because of BMT, that's why the confinement was rather... full of freedom sorta. Together with the rest of the confinees, all 12 of us, we only spent 3 hours cleaning the parade square. The rest of the time, i was reading the comics 熱血江湖 1-16 that thankfully Junyang lent me before he booked out on Friday, eat, sleep, or watching dvd with the rest.

Luckily i was kept occupied for Saturday, if not, super boring, i heard that confinement at unit is worse, like doing physical training all the time. Then i booked out on Sunday morning 8.45am and only managed to reach home like 10am because of lesser cabs on Sunday over at SFT. Basically, the day was spent playing some game, eating PIZZA(yummy!), watching TV, and here i go again, back to camp at 5.30pm.

BORING DAY it was... another to come next Friday night, where i have to book in on Saturday night... another short book out to go... Waiting patiently for POP, where i can finally relax during the block leave.

Im also starting to clear my stuffs now, bringing back stuffs at camp back home slowly via this week and the following one so i wont have too much to bring back on POP day... Which is on 07/09/05, anyone wanna come for it, just tell me, i have 2 tickets available, sms me =)

STRESS FRACTURE II, GAME, ANIME, BOOK IN DAY~

Ahhh... because i usually off my hp at camp, i asked the NUH staff to call my mum instead. So she told me that my Bone Scan to confirm my stress fracture, is scheduled to be on 31/08/05 8am! Guess i have to take an off pass from my platoon commander again for this medical thingy. And i have to ask whether SAF will pay for me or not because the staff told my mum that i need to pay $45 for this Bone Scan!!

Hopefully, just hopefully, my case is a minor one and not a serious one that will affect me for life, one thing that is always hanging on my mind...

I also decided to stop playing FlyFF, because i think there was a server wipe, where all characters of everyone was backup to the date before the 2nd server came up due to faults in 2nd server. I dont mind training my character again in this hard to level game, but having to redo all the quest, collect materials, buy cheap stuffs from store/market again is something that dont really appeal to me, so the game is off.

Then now im trying out Thang Global, im not sure how it is since i didnt really play it yet, seems like MuOnline type of game though, which i dont mind playing, of course like i said before, im not gona be addicted to it, i need a life, haha.

And, also, the anime im dl right now... Ragnarok the Animation, Tales of Eternia, all episodes, but i think i wont be able to dl finish in short time, maybe a month or so, sigh... Then i saw Tsukuyomi Moon Phase, well, then i decided to dl it also. I finished dl the 1st episode, it seems really really nice right now, but still 24 episodes left to go. I think i seen that it has 25 episodes or something (i think i think xD), but the anime available right now is up till 20th episode only. Anyone watching any anime same as me, or got any anime nice to watch to send or burn? =P Oh ya, its quite a headache right now how to free my disk space, i've got like 20GB to 30GB eaten up by the system already, and im thinking on whether to buy any cd/usb drive/mp3 player to burn my songs/anime/movie to, so as to free space for me to dl more stuffs... oh well... wait till after my POP then i decide bah...

If anyone notice, i put date at the bottom right of my recent post because im in a rush recently and didnt manage to put up the posts i wanted to. And thus posting everything at a go today, haha ^_^||

Phew... again, time to book in yet again... I've gotta go right now to pack my stuffs again, wash up and ready to go... Luckily its gona be a longer weekend the next book out, which is on Friday night and last till Sunday. Im very free, anyone wanna jio me go out pls? =x

Owww... missing the Situation Test...

Haiz... At first i thought i would be able to join in the Situation Test despite my status, just without going for the 12km route march, but later on Wednesday was confirmed that i was not allowed to. Sit Test is a criteria for passing BMT, and it was rather more relax than field camp, to think that i had to miss it. I think the reason was probably because of the 4km and 2km fast march on Friday and Saturday morning.

And what did i do during these 3 days? Sai Gang Warriors loh. Because i was excused from heavy loads, well, i was not allowed to carry heavy stuffs, basically meaning i didnt do much also. The first day was quite boring as i together with a friend Kah Wee, was "stuck" at the camp site from morning till dark, and only returning to our coy line to sleep at 1.30am.

On Friday and Saturday, because of some people making mistakes, i didnt really go back to camp site (lucky me) and was resting most of the time at coy line, only at times, doing some stuffs for the cqm (doing store stuffs) and cleaning some rifles. Most of all, the best was all of the status people doing Sai Gang was having fresh ration instead of the combat ration.

But still today was not totally a nice day at all, most probably our worse timing for book out ever. Booking out at 7.30pm, and i reached home at around like 9pm or so taking a cab... sigh... Less than 24 hours and i will be booking in again... what to do... it's a NS life...

STRESS FRACTURE??!!!

Havent been posting for quite a while since the last book out was abit rushed and basically i was just resting at home, to nurse my tired body back to health...

Then on 15th Augest, i booked out from camp to go over NUH for my medical checkup at the ortho department. It was a very tiring day, i treated my camp mate(2 booked out with me) at Ah Kun Kaya Toast before returning home and reaching at around 10am. Then i slacked a while and met my big aunt at 12pm after finishing my roti pratas (YUMMY~). Then we reached there, wait here, wait there, basically alot of time was wasted waiting.

From the x-rays done, i was diagnosed to be suffering from stress fracture, which had plagued me for slightly over 2 months already. I was really in a dilemna as on what to do. To push on and complete my BMT? Or to be out of course and due to recourse? But i really shouldnt waste the 10 weeks in tekong, just like 2 more weeks to POP... So i asked the specialist not to put me out of course, and she consulted a professor and put me on status first instead. Then i will have to go back to camp to consult this matter with my commanders...

By the time i finished dinner, it was already like 8pm when i reached home, then i quickly took a shower and took a cab down for booking in.

Field Camp finally OVER!!!

Ahhhhh.... my 7-days Field Camp in Tekong is finally over man! I was basically 'confined' for 2 weeks due to their planning of starting it on a Sunday. The 7 days were so tough to endure and go through... alot of anger, frustration... but at times fun and laughter too... So i cant really say that i did not enjoy even a single bit of it, haha.

First day - I was basically still on my excuse from lower limbs, so i didnt go for the 8km route march from company line to camp site. Well, i was instead with a few others helped the cqm (company quarter master?) set up the stuffs, carrying this and that. By the time we were done, we were already shagged... (some kind of light duty eh?)

Second & Third day - Basically just some lectures on IFC (Individual Field Craft) and some practices, quite slack actually.

Fourth day - Morning was abit rush, as we had to practice artillery drill or some sort, and had to pack up in little time, to rush off to our next destination, the Malay School. And after that, simply a rest day for us... and oh ya, it was my first day in toilet for shitting, ^.^

Fifth & Sixth day - Practice and practice (sixth day was digging trench etc), nothing much actually, but damn tiring to say...

Last day - Yay, finally the last day! And we only need to pack up stuffs in a hurry and march off to the BIC (Basic Inoculation Course?) ground for our BIC, a 70m crawl stimulation real life war ground. I was constantly looking beside my instructor to follow his pace, in which i managed to do so... but just after the 20m mark or so, there was a bigger sand particle that got stucked onto my elbows, it was awfully painful, so much so that i can barely keep my pace and started to lag behind... well... i used watever strength remaining of me at the last part, and ignoring all pain, rushed to the end of the course =)

Shortly after, we went back to company line, and it REALLY was a very rushed day. We were not entitled ample time to eat, pack, wash up (darn rifle too, and some really slow ppl...)... and rushed off in less than 2hrs later to catch our fast craft back home. Luckily for me, i had my mum back home at night to help me wash up all the clothes and stuffs, during which, i could really sense all the tireness in me, luckily i didnt go out that day, if not, confirm will be dozing off every now and then.

Then on Sunday, after waking up, decided to continue packing stuffs and readying. Afterwards, i went out with Yanting(rest arent free/interested i guess xD) for the 4pm+ show at Bishan J8: "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory". As usual, it was another show without any climax, and sort of ended abruptly. But it has certain parts which really was enjoyment, laughing through, fascinated at, etc. A show that captured my attention throughout again, but it was really rather short, only 1hr40mins or so only, maybe there should be more, oh well...

Today mah... basically nothing, just lazed around and play game (FLYFF). Decided to go and watch "Seven Sword" tml with Joey and Lap... but it will have to depend on when i will wake up, since i need to fold and pack everything back into my duffer bag, and ready for book in. So if i wake up too late, i guess the show will be put off to this Saturday, my next book out(hopefully so).

My weight fluctuates between 65kg-68kg these few days, now stabilizing between 67-68kg. Hopefully will be able to get between 62-65kg, stabilizing at 64-65kg by end of my BMT. I know i kept on harping upon this topic, well, i make sure i do, so i can make it. And also, i finally received the letter of NUH medical appointment today, oh well... i have to make sure i get the referal letter(which i left at bunk in Tekong) and an off pass for sunday (cant basically book in to sleep, and book out next day?) when i book in tml (or consider today)... sigh...
