Good Evening Sir!
Today was a very eventful day. So lucky that i can book out. Actually i am supposed to be put on Ops. But somehow i found a friend to swap my weekend with. So i can book out. Yay. I booked out early morning today. So damn tired. Cuz i just finished duty 2am the day before. But who cares. Haha. Morning i went to collect my contact lens. Wore them straight away. But somehow it felt quite uncomfortable the whole day until i buay tahan and took it out. Damn. Dunno its because of me or the lens. Rawr. Sucks. Last time i wear contacts dun have this problem leh. But last time its not this brand one. Dunno la. See how man.
Went NUS open house with Angez today. I think i just dragged her along all the way la. Thanks for going with me, even though u were kind of sick. Yea. Thanks. Think u dun like NUS la. Or maybe u dun trust education. I dunno la. Anyway thanks for going NUS with me. Walked around, going for talks which were irrelevant to u, having to listen to wad u dun care about. Thanks. Lastly, the way u ate that tablet of medicine... Dun try it again la. Taste terrible la. LOL.
After that i went to Jun Jie and Yong Siang officer commissioning parade. Damn cool la. Number 1 uniform sia. Damn smart. Think i will upload pictures later, after Melissa sent them to me. Today is the day the two OCT friends end their trainee life and emerge as fully fledged officers as 2LT liao. Now, must salute them liao. Quite proud to say that i'm the first person to salute Jun Jie after he is finally able to put on his One Bar rank after many months of shit. Way to go friend! Jun Jie got superb badgework. Jungle Confidence Course, Combat Skills Badge, IPPT Gold and Marksman. Zai la. I only got the last two, IPPT Gold and Marksman. Of course, while i am happy for them, i feel that tinge of sadness that i am not one of them. Haiz. Its all in the past. Now just a man. Just a LCP boatman. Everybody else is an officer. Crap. Why dwell on the past. Fuck it la.
Went Fish and Co after the parade without the officers, they got their own reception. Shared Seafood platter with Melissa. Damn a lot la. Cannot finish. LOL. Now i eat very little liao la. Dunno why. Maybe its not i eat very little. Its because its really a lot. Hahaha. Oh. We promised Guo Wei that we will got to his POP parade in Tekong when he pass out as a recruit and become a private at the end of his BMT if we can make it la.
"HEY RECRUIT ZHUO GUO WEI!" By then i will be CPL liao.
"YES CORPORAL!"
"DUNNO HOW TO GREET YOUR SIR(2LT Jun Jie) IZZIT? KNOCK IT DOWN!"
"ASK SIR(2LT Jun Jie) FOR PERMISSION TO CARRY ON!"
HAHAHAHAHA. Maybe should try it out. Should be quite fun. Hahahahahahahahahaha!
Today was quite a great and fun day la. Thanks to my platoon mate for swapping duty with me and freed me out. Thanks. All these would not have been possible if is not for u. Thanks.

First Bookout in 14 days.
Fucking terrorist. Wad more can i say? Disrupting my life like crazy. Dunno wad to do now la. Missed my MMI (Military Medicine Institute) appointment. Missed IT show. Going to miss NUS open house. Wtf. The fees are going to be more expensive by the year if i decide to change my application. Wad can i do. Going to miss JJ and YS officer commissioning parade unless something good can happen. My driving practical test next month is in jeopardy also if things dun come to an end soon. Operation Vigilant Lion - manhunt for the escaped JI leader Mas Selemat Kastari - will last indefinitely until someone catch him or they give up catching him. The latter being very very unlikely cuz we are SINGAPORE. Damn it.
Dunno why they need boatman to patrol the coast. I really dunno. Wad are the Police Coast Guard for? My engine is only a 40hp outboard. At full throttle, i can barely catch up with fishing boats that are using an engine 35hp and above. Police Coast Guard boats are better equipped to chase and catch boats if required.
Wad ever la. First bookout in 14 days. 2 weekends burnt. More to come. Thanks to platoon 3 for replacing me for 2 days. So that i can take a rest for 2 days. Nothing to say liao la. Enjoy my day out before i book in on Wednesday to go back to do my patrolling liao.
COASTAL PATROL: Poncho-clad soldiers patrolling the waters off Lim Chu Kang in an army boat during yesterday's heavy downpour. Adapted from The Straits Times Home section page 2.Thats my friend. He was activated to patrol Lim Chu Kang area. If u come to Punggol Jetty at around 6.45am to 7am u will see me beach in to let the infantry off.

Post Made In Camp
Yea. This is a post made in camp. First time sia. Anyway things are bad here in camp. Because of the bloody terrorist Mas Selemat which escaped last week, the whole platoon is being deployed to assist the police in the searching for Mas Selemat. Bacause we are the only company which operates boat, the whole NTM force is activated. Damn tiring. I am assigned the role of patroling waters offshore punggol from 1am to 7am. Sucks la. Just hope that he get caught soon. If not this will go on indefinately. Cannot book out and stuff like dat. Sleeping in the day and working in the night is terrible. Biological clock upset like siao. The last weekend has already been burnt. Hope that this search will not drag too long as i still want to attend Jun Jie's comissioning parade on Mar15. Now still dunno if can go or not. Sucks.
Wadever la. Damn sian liao. Going back rest. Going out again later at 1am again. Wish me luck and pray that Mas Selemat gets caught soon. Bye.
