MiZiSat 13: NDP CCR 1

MiZ Speaks
Too lazy to modify the journal from Bebo, so I decided to copy wholesale as well. This will also be done to my Sunday journal, since all the 3 journals for that week are written on the same day.

21 May 2005
Had to wake up very early in the morning to change into our Smart 4 and to load the stores into the tonner before moving out to Tuas for the NDP CCR. We had no time for breakfast in the cookhouse though.

After we reached Tuas, we unload all the stores and set up a tentage for the signal CP. Didn't really know how to set up the tentage at all, so I could only watched them helplessly...

After doing all those, we were told that there was no breakfast brought for us, so we had to go to the food centre nearby for breakfast. As I didn't really know what I should eat, and I had not much appetite, I decided to just drink a can of water.

When we came back from breakfast, we rested in the signal CP as we had nothing much to do.

Right after I finish my lunch, some group of people came and draw the signal sets from us. We were asked to take out the signal sets, check for the equipments inside the set and to prepare the sets for them as well.

Later that day, it rained heavily. The wind was so strong that it blew the tentage until the whole tentage turned over. We had to turn and move the tentage under the rain, and try to protect the radio sets. Later, they decided to move all the radio sets into the tonner. After that, we went inside the tonner and rest again.

The rehearsals only ended at night. We had to keep the remaining stores and helped to dismantle the PA system as well. After that, we went to Jurong camp and collected back the remaining radio sets. After reaching back camp, we unload the stores and keep them in the library, and dismantle the landrover sets and put them in the signal store.

As we only get to leave the camp at about 1+am, and there was no way for me to get home (didn't want to sit on someone's vehicle as there were "train" and "bus" inside), so I decided to go to CC house to stay for a night. Well, while at his house, I watched Pokémon recorded in the morning (which was good for me as I forgot to asked my mother to record for me...). After that, I watched CC playing DotA with our friends. Later, when the game ended, CC then taught me a bit on DotA. Hmm... may consider training playing the next time (only when I have the program) only when I'm free.
