Great Week :)T Sunday, July 27, 2008
Basically was the squad I/C for the week but was quite lucky as during the whole of this week we only need to travel to the MESS and Range Complex. I guess now being I/C and was a camp instructor before NS, I find that some times it harder to blend in with people due to maturity and the way we do things. Spoke to some other instructors too, felt the same way as well. But it was still fun though in a way.
Had shooting this week from monday-friday, total of 6 frame with the final frame on friday as our test. Didnt do well but still manage to pass and it was dead damn important. Had a great instructor namely SI Sazali and Range instructor Naz, they were serious yet very crappy. And saw this super pretty NPCC in-charge, there are often NPCC cadet from secondary school coming to HTA for shooting and the only time we get to see pretty girls and the not-so.
Had IPPT too, and passed it and saw an improvement in all the station I went through, I guess the result shows the work training has gave me during the past few weeks and I start to feel it worth it but yea,there are still a number of weeks to go, so by then its still weekend bookout.
Saturday was nice, had soccer and met up with Jeremy and Sarah at vivo. Met Angel and Kai with Janice and Kristen for Amanda birthday.Though just a short meeting but it was still great to see "old friends" . Oh yea, ANGEL , make me wait for 1 hour ARGHHH, haha, NS guyz weekend are valuable. haha .
After went down to HK cafe at white sand to meet Jer and Sarah again with Treviz,Terence,Xiao Wei and Meiqi for our usual talk cock session.

Mahjong :)T Sunday, July 13, 2008
Melissa, GuangLing, Me and Damon aka Giam
With Guangling
While ,anothe rweek gone, so by right left another 11 weeks. But still long, haha. So dont think about it too much first
Had a mahjong session with GuangLing, Damon and Melissa at Bayshore again, haha,Ironic, its like an annual meet up for the last time we had a mahjong session was at Bayshore as usual. It was fun playing with them, Damon and Melissa were forever bickering or somewhat, I mean in a fun manner, haha, I was just laughing my head off most of the time and yea, the actions of Damon were simply too hilarous.
I remembered there was a round he was say "Ehh, I think I'm fast this time" Then he looked up "Huh, you all start already ar" and end of the round he said PONG loudly and proudly threw out the tile and then Melissa won, haha. It was comical, the sequence of events that happen.
After that ,we cab down to PS area where I meet my campHA peeps to celebrate Shalon 21st Birthday, Nice to see many other fellow instructors again and get my tie dan from Eugene and Meiqi, haha and that gay tee . haha
So yea, great saturday again, hoping that sat will be great.
Anyway, just finished my band of brothers series today and kinda got addicted to their song. You know ,you hear people always say NS guyz who passed away and they will say he died in glory, I felt its kinda insulting to the people who die in real war for they are those that really died in Glory, I mean yea, we'll be sad for those that pass away during training but lets not blow it out of proportions.
Anyway, haha, here are the song, it cal Glory Glory, what a hell of a way to die
Is everybody happy Said the sergeant looking up Our hero feebly answered "Yes" And then they hooked him up, He jumped into the slipstream, And he twisted twenty times, And he ain't going to jump no more. Chorus: : Glory glory what a hell of a way to die, Glory glory what a hell of a way to die, And he ain't going to jump no more.
2. He counted loud, he counted long And waited for the shock He felt the wind, he felt the air, He felt that awful drop, He pulled his lines, the silk came down And wrapped around his legs And he ain't going to jump no more. Chorus:
3. The days he lived and loved and laughed Kept running through his mind He thought about the medics And wondered what they would find, He thought about the girl back home, The one he left behind. And he ain't going to jump no more. Chorus:
4. The lines all wrapped around his neck, The D rings broke his dome, His lift webs wrapped themselves In knots around each skinny bone, His canopy became his shroud As he hurtled to the ground , And he ain't going to jump no more. Chorus: 5. The ambulance was on the spot, The jeeps were running wild, The medics, they clapped their hands And rolled their sleeves and smiled, For it had been a week or more, Since last a chute had failed, And he ain't going to jump no more. Chorus:
6. He hit the ground, the sound was "splat", The blood went spurting high, His pals were heard to say Oh what a lovely way to die, They rolled him up still in his chute, And poured him from his boots, And he ain't going to jump no more. Chorus:
7. There was blood upon his lift webs, There was blood upon his chute, Blood that came a trickling From his paratrooper boots, And there he lay like jelly In the welter of his gore, And he ain't going to jump no more. Chorus:
Another one---
We're Colonel Johnson's Troopers
We're fighters of the Night
We're dirty sonsabitches
We'd rather fuck than fight!
Hi-Dee, Hi-Dee, Christ Almighty,
Who in the Hell are WE?
Rim-Ram, Gawd Damn, Parachute Infantry

PREP COURSE GONET Saturday, July 5, 2008
Ok, finally, been inside for close to a month and this means PREP COURSE IS GONE. :)
Next week is the start of BMT and got our own FI which is Zahid and happen to be willie FI last time. Small world I guess.
Anyway,the final week seem tough as well, had IPPT, 2 PDT which we got screwed like crazy but sometimes I just wonder, why dont he just freaking point out who make the mistake and have the person to correct it straight rather than making us doing it over and over again for us to find out who. Its kind of irritating but guess that is his style.
IPPT, 2.4 was like 11minutes , was too tired to run after the other station and after the PT session the day before and I was dead hungry by the end of it so I guess with a perfect condition ,I should be able to decrease timing.
It was cock as usual in bunk, ashik got his wish by having a 3 days MC, suppose to be just one day but went to a hospital and they gave him 2 more days. We had our own bunk pledge which was comical and the one I remember is that WE PLEDGE WE WILL NOT CROSS SWORD WITH EACH OTHER. haha. As for the meaning, I prefer to remain it mum. Bunk spirit is getting great ,FI was checking our bunk before walk out and out of the 4 bunks, only ours was cleared but since 3 didnt so the whole squad had to do push up ,crutches as well as jumping jacks.
Anyway, met up with sandra,kendra,terence and jeremy ytd at chomp chomp after walk out, getting more happy with my build as well.
