MiZ in Weekdays 19: Another boring week...

27 Jun 2005
Another ops room duty signal. This time, it's the regimental one. Just nothing so special about that duty. Since we can't use the television and the bed during day time (office hours), I just had to stick to my signal desk and listen to music, playing with gameboy and rest. Well, I also bought my flute along to play. Still couldn't produce a clear sound yet.

We had ACCT in the morning. As we were training for the pugilsticks, we had to do a lot of stretching exercises. Very painful and tiring... since my body is very inflexible.

Later in the afternoon, after I took a rest, I decided to play my flute. Well, still trying to get the sound from the flute. Ok, after certain tries and finding the correct angle in which the flute should be blown, I managed to get a clear sound out of it. Well, at least that's an achievement. Ok, I also decided to let others try my flute as well. Amazing how WB managed to get a clear and loud sound just only with a first try! That's something very few beginners managed to get. I think he should really learn to play the flute.

Nothing so special about the day. Most of the time, we were just doing our RPS routine.

Well, after someone asked for nights off with our signal warrant, we were allowed to go for that. Well, just because someone had work to do fo the whole day and night, we should not really be confined inside our bunks, right? Ok, I decided to watch a movie "War of the Worlds" with LJL, WQ, SJ, JR, WB, DZ and OJL. Ok, the last 10 minutes was... well... somewhat very surprising, in the way that I didn't really like. No wonder why someone would say that you could start leaving the theatre 10 minutes before the show ended. As usual, I had my large popcorn combo as my dinner. Well, initially JR could not believe that I could not finish that even after the show ended, but I proved him wrong. Well, in fact I already finished it after about 1/3 of the movie shown.

Had our ACCT in the morning. Since SJ had to go to the hospital for minor operation, I had to partner with LJL for pugilsticks. It's really OMG when I was doing the pugilsticks with him. I did not really stand any chance to fight back with him. There was also one time where he kicked my stomach quite hard that I felt very uncomfortable after a few hours. Well, he had learn Taekwondo, that's why...

Ok, nothing much in the afternoon, just the RPS routine. Later, HJ and I go with the dinner tonner to SAFTI range to do sentry for night shoot that was going on there. Well, why yhe 2 of us? According to someone, as there was SAF day the next day, we had nothing to do for that day. Ok, after all the PA system is really nothing to him, even considering the fact that he did not know how to set up nd operate properly, based on past experiences. Another thing was that there was not going to be a parade for SAF day, so afterall most of the people will just be sitting on the multi-purpose hall and listen to the speech. Ok, maybe the haircut and uniform inspection is going to be hectic, so that's why they need more time to rest. But isn't doing the PA system still something at least? I think our work on the PA system are just NOTHING at all to him. Well anyway, it was quite boring though. We were also bitten by the mosquitoes there as we had not brought the insect repellent along.

Well, it was SAF day. By right we should have a parade, but the CO decided just to have the talk at the multi-purpose hall instead. He said that we are allowed to bring camara phones along, provided that we have to fill in certain declaration forms. Ok, at least that's something...

Later I was asked to open the I-net. While on duty, I was people from company lines booking out then. Heard that they were all given half-day off on that day. How good... After looking at them walking out of camp in their civilian attire, I had no mood to do I-net duty and decided to close it at 1pm "unofficially" (you know what I mean).

In the evening, I decided to stay in camp as I had to take over the duty at night. Quite surprisingly they had Western for dinner. Well, at least that's something good for me, didn't have to waste my money outside to eat western food.

Took over the duty quite early from Stanley as I had nothing much to do in bunk. Well, I immediately fell asleep after the duty clerk had come back from a shower.
