Had CO evening at CDANS Country Club yesterday. The whole event started at 1pm, and we got the morning off because of that :) get to slp late instead of waking up at 5am. The event started with water games as the opening game, like tug-of-war, building a raft etc... those not participating were actually supposed to stay by the pool and support their own company... but the weather was too hot... so most ppl ended up in the bowling alley watching those participating in the bowling competition play their warm-up game... As for archery, we gathered at 2:30pm and that the guy give us a brief intro... for the first 2 test shoot we juz aim at a blank board.... not so bad, manage to get a real close grouping for the 2nd one.. cos my arrows landed next to each other and formed a C-shaped heheV^.^... but too bad, once the target was put up.... haha... all over the place '''^_^. after that I meet up with my friends who juz completed their Laser Quest game... manage to see them get trash by the officer team formed by our PCs in the last game... .. guess the OCS training really did help...
we went to the pool-side cafeteria to get a drink while waiting for the dinner to start at 6:30pm, and that's where I ran into gilbert and one of his student, haha, had a little chat with him, he still look the same... sort of reminded me of life in njc.... really miss it...
Anyway, the dinner was not bad too, and during this time the Man hunt, and the Superstar competition was being carried out.... haha... the man hunt com was hilarious, and out platoon clerk won it. But he did deserve that title... it's a well-known fact among us that he's damn muscular... plus he wore a G-string on stage.. and for that I think he earned quite a lot of pts hahaha. the whole event ended ard 10, and so I actually managed to watch my anime at 11pm ^^
so this morning is off-day, since CO wanted us to take off/leave... but have to go Samsung Service center because that stupid phone off mine keeps 'hanging"... again. Not even one week since passing it out from servicing... sianz.. hai~ the guy was kind enuff to service it for free the last time my mum took it to repair.. but looks like this time round muz spent money liao... =S

haha... suprised that more than ten ppl turn up for the class gathering. There's sk, jh, sj, zj, zixu, nic, bc, xucen, sf, jas and val.... so that's 12 ppl including me. Too bad wb can't join us becos of his guard duty. As usual, jh, sk and I r the earliest... but they acc me to the guardian store at PS to buy some med for my skin allergy since I started to feel the itch on my face again... luckily the cream works, otherwise most prob can't make it pass the dinner without scratching my face off. >.<. Anyway, it's qt fun to hear ppl like sj and zj talk abt their army stuff... cos dun usually hear abt their army stories since they are not with us most of the time... then there's also jh's story abt how powerful the lightstrike vehicle is... which I think I've heard it fr him for abt 6 times liao "'-_-...
Went to glass hse for fish and co, and juz sat down and talk rubbish lor... was quite late after that liao... since we waited 1 hr plus for the conducting officer to arrive... nic ... muz change ur habit liao... though in the army it's always "Rush to Wait and Wait to Rush", u r gg to be an officer liao, so dun pass on the bad habit to the next generation.... haha =P
Anyway, took some photographs b4 we went to PS, walk walk a while and head home... quite tired by the time I reached home, cos stay till 2 am the previous nite to figure out how my sis's phone work... she had to upgrade to a camera phone and pay extra $ so that I can use her old one... again, she sacrificed for me... think i'm still qt dependent on my family... hai~...
as for todae, started doing up my list of vehicles in the morn, then went to je Lib b4 gg with jun and sk to cine... where they spent ard 100 bucks to get three gundam model =.=... haha.. The Endless Waltz collection... still got one more wing zero to get... so the two of u better save up =P
to jh: paiseh didn't go to catch "the myth" wif u... cos really not my type of movie... haha... c ya next wk.

0800 to 0830:discover that we have to take our own off or leave next friday, meaning that it's not an off day given by CO.... but heck, since I have my leave to clear anyway. ^_^0830 to 0930:Got the new instructions. The new Section 4 i'm in, which was juz form a wk ago, has now disintegarted, with the drivers, total 5 of us, juz privates, forming a section of our own and with a section IC to be chosen out of us 5. So it's going to be privates incharge of privates.0_0... weird...0930 to 1130:Discuss for quite some time, and decided to adopt this strategy. Let the slackest guy but the most talented at talking one be the section IC so that he can help talk our way out of tight spot when the need comes... I became the 2-IC, in charge of planning schedule, etc..1300: Platoon Sergeant dun want him to be the IC. Got sabotage by my friend, as a result, I became the IC.... '"-_-found out that though I'm only a private, i muz still recommen their off and leave... and since the section is too small to have a clerk, i'll most prob fill in for the clerk role as well... sianz~But luckily, I dun have to indent spares for the vehicles or write safety briefing all this freaking troublesome nonense... hope not.1400: recommended my first off that my friend is taking tml.. feels weird.1400 to 1700:my phone started dying on me... off and restart by itself... spoil liao....... >.<1730:Got news fr the RO ( routine order ), finally promoted to LCP with effect from 16 Oct...Reached home:handphone died. Stupid day... ...

Had CO parade this morning, then followed by the safety seminar on workshop safety where we sit in the hall and watch this video... quite crap... since in actual fact no one really bothers abt most of the safety precautions shown in the video. Then we had the talk by MO abt dengue fever... in the end the whole thing ended abt 1 hour later than expected, so the Blood donation had to start at 10am instead. This time the donation drive is slightly more "dramatic" then the lest time cos one guy black out for a few second after getting up from the chair... whereas my friend felt giddy too... so in case he fainted on his way home, took a cab with him too acc him home... spent the rest of the afternoon slping at home since it's half day off for us.. hEihEiNext week is only a 3 day work week ! cos have CO evening at CDANS on Thursday, and friday is off day, given to us by CO. haha slack~ =D had a chance to participate in Archery for the games event.. quite looking forward to it... hope i still remember how to aim.. ^_^aniwae, nthing much to say about my new section IC... started out with a section briefing with the new section, listen to him crap for ard 30 min... think he still haven't snap out of his hang-over from the Happy hour the previous nite.. Then saw him slping on the sofa in the rest room during afternoon office hr.... -_-... haha.... wat a slack guy...

Decided to change a tuang-ing place, so went to west coast park Mac cos I heard that it's a gd place to tuang... but turn out nthing special. So juz had dinner there, and talk rubbish etc. Managed to find the one and only one pri sch class photo I have, showed it to sk and wb, but really can't remember the names of some of our classmates. Think some of us changed, some of us didn't change much... but one thing we agree on was tat sk was more mature when he was in Pri 6... haha =)
Anyway, after dinner we decided to go k-ge at clementi, so we took the bus there, but junlin left his Gundam model on the bus, so sk and him had to take a cab and chase it bad... hilarious and dramatic.. haha. anyway, k-ge till ard 1am b4 we share a cab home.... hmm, thinking of getting one of those BB zhan4 shi4 models since they look quite cute, and dun cost as much as the HG ones too... haha. If i get one every month then by ORD i would have collected 15... hehe ^_^

Had a briefing with the new section, whcih consists most of my driver friends... though the new system will only start next tuesday. quite a different work attitude from my current section... and can already foresee that I might be having some unintended clashes with some of my friends... mainly cos our work attitude is fundamentally different. Not that I dislike him, in fact, he really look out for his friends. Juz that I might not get use to the way he works... doesn't pose a problem b4 cos we were in different section... but now that we have to work together, I'm afraid that my stubborness might get in the way... hai~... that's next wk's thing... worry abt it later...
Learn something new todae:
1) There is no sure thing as a "true" vacuum, since even vacuum contains radiation. Even at absolute zero, the vacuum would still contain some form of "blackbody radiation", from objects such as the walls of the container of the vacuum. This blackbody radiation in the vacuum conatins more energy in the absence of the walls of the containers.
2) Mass CAN be conerted into Energy.
E=mc2
By colliding an electron ( particle) with a positron (it's corresponding antiparticle), the electron will be destroy, and it's mass energy will be converted into energy in the form of a photon. But to do this, the technical difficulties is enormous. Building the particle accelerator alone will be freaking ex...
3) "Field is a region of space is which a mass place in it experience a force.... blah blah blah"
Fields is merely a description of the curvature of space-time. For eg, gravity. The curvature of space time determines the path which the object will take etc etc.... still doesn't really understand yet...
The book is getting interesting... but still so much i dun understand.... 100 plus pages to go ^_^ can foresee more interesting things... hehe =)
haha...
Guess I'm really too free liao. Everyone busy with their sch work and projects, while the rest of the guys getting all the s*** in the army... had a chat with her on mon nite.. thinks she sounds streesed... with sch work, pro work etc... but as usual, nth I can do to cheer her up except listening and chatting with her. no other way to help her out.... too slack to understand her situation too. Juz like I can't do anything to help out those bothered by all the stupid stuff in the army. all the "cheer ups" and the encouragements... doesn't do much to change the situation they r in... powerless to help much... ....
anyway... the 10th planet in the solar system is call sedna.. finally bothered to check out its name... and this sat Earth will be bombard by Solar wind... so if anyone happens to be in a bad or crumpy mood, juz blame it on the Sun.... haha...

Spent my weekend doing guard duty, the camp was very isolated cos most ppl went fot the AHN in the morning... freaking hot in the morning, then out of the blue the sky started to get dark.. thought itwas going to rain, but turns out to be juz a false alarm... so in the end stil did 4 rounds of prowling >.<..Anyway, thought that yesterday was going to feels like a damn long day... but suprisingly, passed quite quickly. Most prob cos I spent most of my time reading the book borrowed from the library. Only managed to complete 80 pages... spent the first one hour reading first twenty pages, and spent the next 45 mins reading the same twenty pages again '''>.<>
to my surprise, saw the puppy again. It's Alive!! but that dog switched loyalty... seems like it has been hanging out at the guard hse for quite some time... hmm... can't really blame it lar.. cos we r feeding it combat ration biscuit and sometimes cook hse food.... think the guard rm have better food like pizzas and Mac?? guess dogs have the freedom to choose the type of life they want bah....

March of the penguins is actually qt a short show, only ard 1 and a half hour. Never thought that it so difficult for the penguins juz to create a new life... the tough march to their breeding ground, the cruel wind storm and the freezing cold. Not to mention the existence of predators.... adding more obstacles to the already harsh environment that they have to put up with... hmm... life is cruel..
hmm... think I'm destroying my face with the pimple cream i use. either i use too much or it's juz too strong... my face feels tight and dry. Time to stop using it since i have the feeling that my face will crack if I laugh too much. so better control my laughter for the next few days...
if no one sees me next weekend then most probably i'm hiding at home to shed my skin.. haha =D
*crack*
.......
-_-... ouch....

Came back from Pasir Ris park again, but the run was cancelled cos of the rain. Made a wasted trip, but had some fun chatting with my friends during the journey. Talk abt the restructuring withing the platoon that's going to take place soon... hai~... wonder whether izzit really the platoon's structure's fault, or juz the ppl...
An accident occured, the coolant pipe of the tank burst, resulting in a reservist getting burnt by boiling coolant... quite an incident... investigation launched, and the big shots starts coming down to investigate. Once the higher authorities came down, those ppl who usually push their work to others starts to act hardworking again... once the investigators starts asking questions all the blame-pushings starts again... rotten. Simply rotten. Sickening... disgusted....
Sadly, haven't seen the puppy around lately.... hmm... wonder where it went... :(
HeIhEi... finally gg to watch march of the penguin tml... pray that nth goes wrong this time ^_^
