MiZ in Weekdays 22: Another Week Past...

19 Jul 2005
Ok, practically nothing special happening on that day. Well, just that I decided to go to the gym later in the afternoon.

Well, there was SOC training on that day, but since I had already passed my SOC some time ago, I could stay inside my bunk and rest. Well, maybe not just rest. HJ and I decided to wash the toilets near the enlistees mess after our breakfast.

After the SOC training had ended, someone called and asked those who did not have to go for SOC training to help to mount radio sets on the vehicles. Thought that there would be quite a number to mount, but it turned out that there was only one A vehicles which needed the radio sets to be mounted... Well, since I was not really that proficient in mounting radio sets in A vehicles, and there were also too many people inside the vehicle to mount the radio sets, I just had to wait there...

Well, decided to watched movie with PSQ, SJ, WQ, KQ and DZ of The Island. Had to say that the movie was nice, and it also contains certain surprises, especially when I had not watched the preview. Well, I think you should give this movie a try, if you have not watched it yet.

In the morning, we had our Racial Harmony video presentation by S1. Well, they just showed us the video about different cultures of birth, marriage and death. Well, the video was somewhat interesting I had to say, which was kind of surprising to me... Some people could just fall asleep, which I supposed that was not the kind that there were interested in...

Later in the afternoon, the "bus" said that QM need 4 people to help him in somethings. Well, just didn't know what he was up to when he initially asked those people that didn't have to take SOC to go, in which later he eliminated some people as they worked a lot, which only left a very small amount of SOC-passes. Eventually, he later said that it could just be anyone, so long as they were not the ones he eliminated. Well, it turned out that Alex, WB, WQ and me helped out eventually, and the thing was that WQ was one person the "bus" eliminated. Ok... what's then?

Anyway, we first helped the QM department to return about 100 jerry cans to 40 SAR at Keat Hong camp. While we reached there, they said that they were short of a few more... Well, maybe they really need to check very carefully first. Ok, after that, they said that they only wanted those jerry cans that were completely free of water, and told us to go back and take those. Well, thought that it would be a waste of energy, so Alex decided to fight back with the pouring out any of the remaining water inside the jerry cans and leave it to dry instead. So, we had to empty about 100 jerry cans outside 40 SAR storeroom.

While the QM people went back to take the remaining jerry cans, we then went to the canteen and had a break first before proceeding on to another task... cleaning and returning arms. Well, most of the arms were already cleaned, so we were tasked to clean that M16 rifles that has additional components onto it (well, I don't know what is that rifle called though). Just anyhow clean it... After that, we had to helped to move all the rifles into the armskote room over there... Kind of tiring though.

After all the worked that we done, we went back to camp, reaching there at about 6.15pm. Well, at least the QM people helped us to packed dinner (the dinner was not good though...).

Some people went to the office to try to get the NDP rehearsals ticket for that coming Saturday. As there were only 10 tickets for 5 people, and there were more than 5 people trying to get those tickets, I decided not to go (well, it's only a rehearsal). After that, there were practically nothing much to do. Tried to make a paper rose in the morning, but eventually Victor did most of the job while helping me to do so.

As I had to take over ops room duty signal at about 6pm as the person need to go for convoy later on, I did not went out for nights off. Well, it's ok since I already went for nights off on Wednesday. Anyway, after the duty clerk had his dinner, I went to the resting area and start to sleep straight away.
