Finally this page shows up properly on my screen again. And i can, once again put down my thoughts without having any difficulties of seeing what i'm trying to write.
This week is gone with much to learn, or rather relearn. As an Det 2IC, i had become the "advance party" for the rest of my ICT years cause i have to take over stores which is part and parcel of my job as a 2IC. Of course, it is really rather sian to go back earlier by one day as compared to the main body, but i guess we just have to suck it up like a man. Feels really like booking in on the first day of BMT on monday.. The amount of unwillingness in me to go back into wearing green camoflaged was as high as mountains. Just that, the only consolation i had from the fact of going back to ICT, was that i'm a reservist now. =) That means that everything is not as bad now. On top of that, i have my 3 strips on the start...
First day "bookin-ers" were all either commanders or 2ICs. Commanders were John, Benny, Yongteck and 2ICs me and Junling. To my surprise, i see BQ TAT! And that means that our food will always be on time on target! Storemen were Isah and Qin dian... It has really been a long time seens we seen each other. Its a minimum of a 2 years already. It really brings back lotsa memories when we were all in camp. Suddenly, the ICt doesn't seem as bad as it seems.
First day was packed with lotsa waiting in the morning and even in the early noon as the commanders were all at a lost of what to do as this was our first time. Things went on slowly... But this was really a problem as we had lots of time catching up and just relaxing. Guns were took over and Junling and i proceeded to take over gun stores... We are the first year specs, as called also the old specs... The new specs were much garang as they did had more drive than us... Maybe this is cause they were the ones who took over us and we just really adopted a slack attitude when they are around. We try to help a some ways though, but they are really hardworking. This incamp was a stay in... This is quite bad though as many expected a stay out. Oh well... I din really care after a while...
Seeing the rest of the specs in-pro really brightened me up as that meant i get to see my buddies like jiajun and xuanming, and of course edwin(proboscis). Everyone remained the same! In terms of personality and outlook, size and whatever.. I'm really stunned as a see men really changed shape and size and this applied to the new specs too. But the old specs? We really remained.... This was like back in 20SA. We really had much to talk about.
The outfield exercise was what i skipped... The most siong part of the in-camp course my stitches could not be taken out yet due to my wound opening again when 2 were taken out. A sense of relieve really when i know that i will not be going out on exercise but that would mean that i would not have the time to catch up with the specs in outfield too. Oh well.. Its like a tradeoff really and that i really din wanna be looked at as a slacker. Though i really wanted to slack and to be frank to all and those i told, being in bunk is really slack.
This in-camp brought me back to the fact that i had to train for my IPPT again. Getting silver was like eating rice when i was in the army. I seriously do not know about now as i see gold getters get only pass and people who had no problems for silver failing IPPT. Of course, for now i know that i will have no problem for all except the 2.4km and maybe the SBJ which really depends on my form. Bought 2 running shorts. Determined to run again when school reopens. Bernice i know you will run with me. =D
E-mart shopping is a must for all when we return for ICT. I bought lotsa things! I bought a commander bag which can really up the role of my biking bag and a new field pack. I got myself a new pair of shades which is roughly grey. I haven got any running shoes yet as i figured that i should just get them online and ask them to deliever to my house. This week was quite interesting with Junling and edwin around crapping.. Especially the Oprah Talkshow hosted by Junling and sat in by Edwin on my gf... Ya thats you bernice. =P
We had our fair share of bitching sessions too and these are really what we enjoyed in-camp when we had nothing to do in bunk or when we're out. *Eagle's in the nest* LOLz.....
Of course, the holidays are ending as my ICT ended yesterday and its back to float building again! But i'm taking a break today at home and den maybe meet ber for a while before she goes for cell. Though we think that ICT is really a waste of time, i guess i really enjoyed it due to the company and of cos, due to my injuries. Nevertheless, we'll be seeing each other latest next ICT again IN June....
Hope we can have an outing soon!
