Today is Saturday and i went out with the :c9: ppl for some gathering and to celebrate Guo Wei's belated birthday. Guo Wei, Melissa and me started to meet at 12pm at Bishan, before we went to town to hang around. After walking around, we sat down outside pepper lunch at wisma and played Bomberman on our PSP cuz Yong Siang wanted to eat at pepper lunch and we were waiting for him. Multiplayer with PSP is always very fun. LOL. After lunch, Jun Jie came cuz he just booked out today at around noon. Soon after, YS left to meet up with his girlfriend to watch movie. Heck. Dun care la. Haha. JJ wanted to go shopping for some clothes cuz he needed some nice onces for his OCS social night on Monday. I ended up buying a polo shirt and a belt at Topman together with JJ. Haha. Love shopping. NS makes me crazy.
After that, we went to Bugis for some steamboat. We sat there and ate lots of food for damn long and just like long lost friends, we chatted non stop. Lots of things to talk about. OCS life, Boatman life, poly attachment student life and lots of other rubbish. Played more of PSP also. Just too bad only Melissa and me has PSP. Both pink also. Hey. Pink PSP is nice lor. Haha. Time passes quickly when having fun. So quickly, one day passed just like that. At least we had lots of fun. How can anyone disagree with that?
Busy week up ahead in the army for me. Coming up this week is Exercise Fireant, which is about field deployment during attachment to infantry or guards unit. It will be another field camp just like in Tekong, with the digging of shellscrape and stuff, only that this time it will be more of the base structure and less of the outfield fire movement. So tml i will have to go get prepared for the exercise liao. Going buy the equipment that i am still missing also. 2 more exercises, Fireant and Shark, till i pass out as operational boatman. I am still waiting for that day. Haha. Last week, i had Exercise Dolphin, which is about Coastal Hook Operation, where we as boatman, learn and practice the procedure of ferrying infantry soldiers along the coast and then beach-in to drop them behind the enemy line. Learning beach-in is damn fun la. Its like charging the boat at the shore and then stopping the engine and lifting the propeller up at the last moment before hitting shore to prevent the propeller being grounded. Thats damn fun. But still, as usual, i hate the launching and delaunching part. Thats the worst part of being a boatman.
Jun Jie is going to become an Infantry Officer, and if just nice, in the future, he is going to be posted to BMTC, he will actually have the chance to become the platoon commander for those poly guys like Guo Wei when they enlist to the army. Then if just nice, he is to be posted to the SIR Batellions (Singapore Infantry Regiment), we will have quite a high chance of meeting up in operation when they are training or learning River Crossing Operation, Assault Crossing operation, and Coastal Hook Operation where they require the usage of my boats. There is only one boat company in the SAF excluding those in the commandos and i am in one of the 3 operational platoons.
Its still quite far to think of such things, as i have not finished my course yet, and JJ will have another half a year before he commission as an officer. So, its just appropriate that i do my best and complete my training first and leave the rest to fate.
