MiZ in Weekdays 15: The beginning of ACCT

31 May 2005
After breakfast, we had to do area cleaning as there would be an area inspection later on. After that, I had to set up the public address system with another person for the CO talk at the multi-purpose hall. Well, during the CO talk, the Co said that we would be given 4 days off for our "good" performance in ATEc Stage 2. Well, whether we would be given more offs depends on the ability of the BSO to talk to S$ about that.

After that, we went back to our bunk to prepare for our ACCT (Advance Close Combat Training) lesson, but before we could go to the SOC the "train" asked us to wait outside the bunk first for area inspection. Hmm... don't know why CSM insisted on having area inpection just before ACCT. Well, it was that Sgt LL that inspect our bunk, just to check if there was any ammunitions left inside our bunk. Well, after the area inspection, when we went to the SOC ground for ACCT lesson, we missed quite a lot of warm-up. Well, the instructor didn't really say anything, so we were still ok...

Hmm... the ACCT was really quite advanced. Well, I always could not do some of the things they taught to us correctly. Some of the training was also quite tiring as well. We were also drenched with water and mud when we had to fell to the wet ground while performing our ACCT skills. After ACCT, we had our bath and changed to a new sets of uniform before going for lunch.

After lunch, we had our briefing by BSO, regarding the next NDP CCR and so on. After that, we went back to bunk to rest.

After we had our breakfast, we rested for a while before doing some stores. Well, for the line team, we had to reel back a big bag of lines found inside a plastic bag into some RL 11 and drum 2. After reeling back all these lines, we then took a short rest before going for lunch.

After I had my lunch, I went to the e-mart to buy a woodwork ferris wheel assembly. The ferris wheel looked kind of interesting, so I decided to buy the assembly to make myself one.

After lunch, as there was not much stores for us to do, we just waited inside our bunk and rest.

At night, while others had gone for nights off, I stayed inside the bunk to make the ferris wheel. Well, some parts were a bit loose, while others need to be forced to fit in. The wheels also couldn't really turned properly due to the cutting of the wood pieces. Moreover, the two wheels were not parellel to each other, so the seats might be very loose at one side and very tight on the other side. Hmm... I think I might need to get some glue to tighten the loosen parts.

After we had our breakfast, we had to clean our area for area inspection. Well, since we had ACCT, we only had Stanley to be in-charged for the inspection for the stand-in CSM (which was RQ).

Well, for ACCT, we decided to join Bronco for some reasons. Hmm... don't know whether I could pass the ACCT grading based on how I performed during the lesson. Always kept doing the wrong techniques as it was quite difficult for me to do so.

Anyway, after ACCT, while we went back to bunk, Stanley told us that the RQ complained a lot about our bunks and toilet that there would be another inspection the next day. Oh well, looked like we had to do another area cleaning again. Well, I supposed it would not be as hectic since we did quite a lot in the morning already. After that, we rested in our bunk before going for lunch.

In the afternoon, we had to send some of the stores back to QM department, especially line stores, as they were not going to be needed by us since our ATEC was over. We had to clean some of the stores before moving and sending back to them. As usual, we had to write statement for equipments that were spoilt or faulty. After that, we sent some of the radio stores in, and then move some other radio stores into our signal store. After finishing all these, we went to have our dinner and that call it a day.

After we had our breakfast, we had to do our area cleaning as we had did quite "badly" based on RQ standard the day before. While, for the area inspection, RQ said that our bunks were fine, better than the day before. For the toilets, he said that the windows were dirty and we need to clean them.

After that, there was nothing much for us to do for the rest of the day, so we rested in our bunks later in the morning and afternoon. Before booking out, we cleaned the toilet windows as well.

After booking out, as I wanted to go to Funan Digitalife Mall to look for Gamecube games, I decided to follow JR and HH to Boon Lay interchange and took the train to City Hall. Had my dinner at KFC/Pizza Hut/Taco Bell 3-in-1 restaurant there. After that, I went to look for and buy one GameCube game, "Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door".

MiZ Speaks
Ok,I bought a game "Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door" today, heard that the game is quite fun to play. Well, they put "best seller" on the game cover, which I supposed it is a popular game. Hmm... it costs me $86.90 for that game, which is considered quite expensive for a GameCube games. I supposed it is the popularity that makes this game more expensive.

If you have read my blog or journal carefully and remembered, I said that I got caught by a traffic police for crossing the road when the light is still red. Well, I got the traffic offence letter this week, stating that I am charged for failing to obey to the signalised traffic sign, and will be fined $20. Well, I had to pay the $20 fine through the S.A.M. machine. Ok... that's how my $20 is gone, and that's equivalent to 4 meals... well, maybe I should skipped 4 meals in weekends?

Another thing, those people in the same platton as me, if you have noticed, I have started going for breakfast at 5.30am. well, if you want to know why, the reasons are that I do not really want to get to eat lousy breakfast, especially when we go late for breakfast, and also I don't really want to wait so long for some people to wake up to prepare to go for breakfast, so I decided to go myself for breakfast early in the morning. You can join me for breakfast, that is ONLY if you are able to leave the bunk to cookhouse at 5.25am. Well, I can tell you that you may have to wait for some time as they need to on the Point-of-Sales (POS) machine (that is if the BOS didn't on the machine for us).
