hmm.. not in a mood to blog nowadays.. firstly because basically everyday is doing the same thing.. doin duty and off at the 3rd day.. and another is that duty is getting worse each day.. now we have manpower shortage.. from a normal 9-man section to a 5-man section.. due to weilong and robin taking mc and max and amos ord-ing in less den a month's time.. we suffered during our night duty la basically.. doin like 4-5 hr instead of 2 hr.. damn.. tts so unfair to us la.. other section had a 13-man section.. and they can so called "enjoy" their night duty.. plus now we are not allowed to sit and so posed more physical challenges.. or rather tortures.. tinking of it.. i realise myself very unfortunate.. y must it happened in my section? and when the adf and the sgt are gone.. we experienced even more problems.. a total of 11 men are required per duty.. how?? our camp commanders are nt doing any thing to solve this damn problem and even insist on the number of ppl for duty even though some are REALLY redundant.. those "extras".. according to them.. are for image sake.. omg.. thankz man.. they dun care how we feel.. juz feel like askingthem to stand at the gate and do duty and realise how jialat it was.. but luckily during dis period of time our section mates got along together well.. bcoz we got common enemies and complains?? wadeva the case i hope manpower problems will b solved soon.. pls..

went back to cmpb for duty after the rp course.. a lot of changes since i left there.. like closing of gate a.. only cars are allowed to enter but nt the people.. opening of the the new guard house.. saw a lot of new specs too.. today is sgt gilbert for duty spec and bcoz i hav driving theory test at 8 so i asked him to let me go off at 6.. he immediately agreed.. heard every1 say he is the best spec and i definitely muz agree.. so had lunch at 1115.. missed the great food here compared to the cookhouse food in kranji camp.. den at 1200 did gate a with weilong.. our duty task is to prevent ppl frm leaving and entering the camp.. dis irritates quite alot of ppl.. especially the dsta ppl.. bcoz by doing this they are walking 1 big round.. but wad to do.. all commander's orders.. den later did parade square with robin.. as promised sgt gilbert allow me to leave at 1800 after sending arms.. he's really a nice guy.. even wished my good luck for my test.. so quickly took a cab to ssdc.. passed my test.. yea and i saw something meaningful.. a phrase tt says...

"if today was perfect.. there's no need to tomorrow.."

i tink it is meaningful for those ppl taking promos and a level.. indirectly saying tt it's normal tt we made mistakes and scored marks tt we did nt expect.. learning is a life-time process.. if everybody scored well den there's no point for tomorrow.. no point taking any further more tests or examinations.. i hope i do make some sense out of it.. lol..

sunday today.. went to ssdc to do some theory test.. quite bored la.. after tt went to help my sis to search for some ten-yrs series.. went to 4 different populars but stil cant find it.. dotz.. met fu at hmv orchard.. coz we are supposed to watch the change of guards parade at istana.. and my rp course commander was inside the marching contingent and so we went to support him.. went to heeren there to look for him and chatted wif him for a while before he got ready to form up.. they marched from heeren there all the way to istana.. with the mps and the marching band.. we met johan at istana.. den upon reaching there they started the change of guards drills all tt.. followed by the mps doing precision drills.. whoohoo.. they were fantastic man.. and very impressive.. things like spinning their m16 rifle.. passing the rifle to each other and their formation drills etc.. damn nice.. there were alot of on-lookers.. and they got a round of applause at the end.. after tt they marched off.. whole thing takes abt half an hour.. yupz den the 3 of us went to arcade to play for a while.. played ghost squad and initial d.. went to ps to buy some stuff before i came back home for my dinner.. watched the rest of the serials of the "survivor's law".. nice ending.. learnt sth at the end.. "when u hav made a mistake.. be it serious or light.. wad matters most is tt u realise it and willing to change.. and frenz around you will be willing to forgive you and continue to support u.." hmm though it sounds very common.. but tink of it nt many ppl are willing to admit their mistakes.. they choose to escape and in the end they stepped into a deeper hole.. i dun deny the fact tt everyone does makes mistakes.. juz hope dis little phrase will help and give courage to those who do nt know wad they shld do when they are in such situations..
