of autobots and decepticons

well took a day off today at the order of my OC, so i went to watch transformers. man it was hands down the best damn movie of the year. seriously much cooler than i thought it would've been. when they weren't fighting they were transforming, and when they weren't transforming it was funny. great mix of action and comedy, and what movie is complete without a hot ass babe man hahaha 10 out of 10 for me. and watching this movie at home on a computer or tv screen seriously won't feel as good, because only in the cinema can you experience the sheer size of the whole thing. and what i really didn't expect was the short aerial fight sequence. everything was in just the right proportions =) kudos to the producers of the year's best movie! seriously considering watching it again man hahaha

on the down side... i've got cos duty tomorrow. but that just means i can spend the whole day slacking in the office. but on the up side, tomorrow i can officially remove that triangle when i drive MUAHAHAHAHA already one year gone by since i got my driving licence. but kids, driving is about responsibility. (hmmm...) yah so drive safe =)

my "block" leave

past 2 weeks have been filled with outfield. ex bold strike and ex bold titan. 1st week i spent in the back of a BX. 2nd week i spent in the back of a rover. 2 completely different sleeping environments. but then you realise that the human is actually able to sleep in areas so confined and uncomfortable. there are some things your cannot learn in the classroom ;)

felt kind of sick from the beginning of bold titan. but just went through with it lah. slept only 4 hours in 2.5 days, so it didn't help my condition. on thursday spent half a day cleaning the rebro bronco with just the driver, since there weren't enough tools. by the end of it, i sat on my bed and felt pain in my chest and i breathed. and when i lay down it got worst. breathing was near impossible =X honestly it really freaked me out. then on thursday evening i was told the wonderful news that i'd have to do COS duty on friday, since my csm didn't schedule anyone for that day. what choice do i have right... so just sucked it up and did it lah. according to my friend i looked like a zombie for most of the day =p

today and tomorrow is supposed to be my block leave. well it's more like just 2 days of off. since i wasn't feeling too wonderful by sunday, skipped my weekly badminton session with wendy and her friends, and just stayed home and rested. went out for a subway dinner at holland v though. it was nice and healthy. for those who know me, you would notice that it's the first time anything which has vegetables in it comes with the word NICE hahaha but it really does taste good. but then again i only add lettuce hahaha but hey, better than nothing right =) this morning me and my baby went to sentosa to watch the new cineblast thingy. quite cool leh, although the beginning was seriously wwwwwaaaaayyyyyy tttttoooooooooooo lllllloooooonnnnngggggg... after a while wendy and i just started looking at each other and stoning hahaha but the ride was good! but i seriously wish it was longer though, but it was still worth the money! you guys should try it =) then we just took the luge again hahaha since we were already up there. but somehow... for islanders there's no price for just the luge ride, so we had one skyride too. oh well... just making the most of our islander cards' discounts hahaha

got a fright from my ps today. at 5 he suddenly called me and asked me, "marcus you wanna do guard duty or not?" all i could say was "HUH???" hahaha apparently my csm didn't plan for it again, and he offered one day off for it. seriously it's madness lah!!! so many screw ups meh? planning for duties can be done in at MOST 6 hours? and he's got the whole month to do it, but somehow he doesn't. i really don't know why also. luckily he didn't call me back again, means my name wasn't drawn from the lot hahaha damn heng man...

tomorrow's badminton and volleyball day!!! just hope she's not too tired from her karaoke session tonight. but most likely she will be lah... just see how it goes.

wednesday and thursday i'll be attached to 93 SAB as a veh comd. can you imagine... being attached to a reservist unit to help them in training. really no rest man. so to derek the black commando, after atec there's no rest for me, coz atec doesn't involve me directly, but my unit's sub-units. after that they can still throw me around all they want until wallaby is over. such is my fate until the end of november. hell is beginning to open it's gates in my unit man... gotta entertain a whole lot of US soldiers next month too...

at least we're getting more pay from next month onwards =X

happy 19 baby =)

AAARRRGGGHHHHHH

that's pretty much what i wanted to do for the entire night, and even up till now. but seriously i'm in no mood to discuss anything that's happened this week. all i feel like doing is driving... and driving and driving. and running away... far far away...

short weekends...

wkends seem to be getting shorter and shorter. time really flies on weekends. this morning i got up at 6.30, simply because i completely KO-ed on friday night. fell asleep with my room light on and just got up at army timing and slacked in my room, since later was going to watch ocean's 13 at 10.30 with wendy. not as good as the first one, but still entertaining enough i guess. oh and yesterday was pay day! so now i've got money again!!! hahaha watched songs of the sea tonight too. must say it was worth the 4 bucks, since they actually use quite a large amount of pyrotechnics, so yes it was worth it =)

tomorrow i'm going to play badminton again, then will have to book in slightly earlier since monday will be leaving camp at 6+ for 4d3n exercise. 2 weeks of this shit man... and next sunday must mount over 20 rovers with signal sets. oh well, being in brigade has it's pros and cons.

screwed up off

thank goodness for the islander card. well let me start from the beginning. at first i was supposed to have a whole day off today, but because of ARR training, i went back to camp in the morning and changed my off to a half day. so in the afternoon i went to sentosa with wendy with the purpose of watching the new songs of the sea, and sitting on the skyride and luge. we only managed the latter because the 7.40 performace was sold out, and obviously i can't watch the 8.40 because i have to book in tonight.

while on the way to sentosa suddenly my ps called me and informed me that i'll have to go outfield tomorrow as commander's signaller, and get this, THERE WON'T BE ANY SIGNAL SET MOUNTED!!! that just highlights the point even more that signallers are like PAs when we're outfield. for those who aren't so in tune with army lingo, PAs are personal assistants. so whatever the guy you're under wants, you just do for him lah hahaha so tomorrow and wednesday i'll be outfield for the planning phase of 42 atec. involved right from the start man. most likely all the way till 2 weeks later. nvm at least my june will hopefully pass by faster. got to go bathe and get back to camp soon. need to sleep after the torture my legs and lungs went through this morning.

lots and lots of exercise...

i've been sweating alot lately, and will sweat alot more in time to come. on saturday i went to sentosa again to play volleyball. this time it didn't rain, but we still sat in the same playground and played saboteur again. tini and i make good saboteurs together man hahaha just that i take all the restrictions for myself hahaha like some scapegoat like that. but the weather that day was really damn good. it looked like it was going to rain a couple of times, but in the end it didn't, so no problem at all =) and because we left later, the showers were really empty!!! hahaha now we all know when to leave sentosa =)

today went to SP to play badminton with wendy and her good friend. another group of people there were so adamant about the doors being closed so we all played in a really stuffy hall. just because there might be a LITTLE wind, even though i doubt there would be since the hall was surrounded by other buildings, there were just being picky and blaming the wind instead of themselves for their apparently not so existent skills hahaha so yes i ended up sweating quite alot again. if you know me well you would know that i sweat really really easily.

and this week onwards we're going to have lots and lots of running. monday, wednesday and friday will have ARR training, and tuesday will have life run. so basically my legs will be overworked. well at least i got half day off tomorrow, so can go on the skyride and watch songs of the sea with wendy. got my islander card on saturday, since it only takes 7 visits to cover the cost of the card. plus the other discounts you can get, i'll cover already half the cost from our trip tomorrow =) so i guess it's all worth it. anyway i'd most probably be going more often since it's wendy's holidays now, and she won't be having exams until next june, and i ord next february and the card expires next june too!!! hahaha
