Really had a shitty wk.. 1st was my guard duty.. It was a nice wed.. wanted to be e 2nd/3rd prowler but.. sgt Ho.. arr.. baa... forget abt dat guy.. anyway.. we are given e 1st prowler.. So dat's it.. thinking wat could be worse rite?.. haha.. so i was prowling w/ terence.. as usual we wanted to "tuang"(means to "chao keng" or watever dunno how to explain la) dat's wat every guard duty personnel would do..it's lik sme sort of tradition thing lar.. hehe.. So we tuang lor.. put all e prowling sheets at one of e checkpts.. which means we only had to go to e specific check pt, fill in all e sheets.. and dere! we can sleep for a max up to 1hr.. haha.. everything was going very smooth.. until it was our 2nd shift.. our guard com..Sgt Ho dat is..nvr informed us dat we r only needed to prowl for 1 round.. unlike e usual 2rounds.. so thinking we r supposed to prowl for 2 rounds, we went to e checkpt again.. filled in e forms for 2 rounds.. n slept.. thinkin dat we could sleep for 1hr again.. i even set my alarm..zzZZZzz... "RiNg RinG~" sgt Ho called terence up and asked us where we were.. stunner man!! we r lik sleeping when he called us.. he called us n told us dat we r only needed to prowl 1 round!!.. wat.. SHIT!!.. me n terence r lik staring at each other blankly.. duh..wat r we going to do?? we r supposed report back to e guardhse by 4.30am.. but our prowler sheet's last timing for e last check pt was 5.30am.. which means we hav 1hr exclusive.. fuck!!.. so i suggested to terence dat we act blur lor.. n continue.. to sleep n tell sgt Ho dat we tot we had to prowl 2rounds n didn get his infomation rite.. terence didn really agreed to e idea.. he wanted to report back to e guardhse but.. really no choice.. if we were to do dat.. we r bound to kana more xtras..!! so we end up standing dere "debating" which is a better idea.. time flies... it's 5:12.. sgt Ho gave us a 2nd ring.. i took over terence's hp n answered.. i told sgt ho my story.. hoping dat he could be taken into.. haha.. instead.. this is wat he said "i tell u all ah, you all better dun defy my order".. wooo...power sia.. ahhaha.. so lanlan lor.. i take my own sweet time back.. so when i reach e guardhse it's lik 5:23.. which is much nearer to our last checkpt timing.. phew...~ so just prayed hard nth will happen ba..

For wat i know..Fri's our SOI test..n e test time is 8.00am..so thurs me n samuel gave each other tests.. we wanted to score well.. n we knock off at abt 12plus.. sleeping very soundly... nice dream.. "wake up wake up" xunwei woke me up.. i was lik wat e fuck.. until he told us dat BSO wanted to see everyone in e conference room in 5mins.. for our SOI test.. it was 2.00am.. tell me dat BSO's not crazy..smebody pls..~.. everyone dragged their feets into e room.. nvr even had our teeth brushed.. e requirement for e test was to score above 95%.. so everyone was very serious abt it.. i'm so so tired den... keep dozing off while doing e paper.. e air con in e room was not on too.. anyway after we finished e test is abt 3-4plus.. n we can get back to sleep.. but really cant get back to sleep alrd.. e crazy stunner lor... BSO(battalion signal officer)?? more lik battalion stunner officer... haha.. always got stuns comming up his sleeves.. anyway i scored 98% for e test.. n had my long wkend.. n would be exempted frm e test in e future.. woo hoo~ great deal..

dat very aft.. e stunner officer came to me n pulled me to one corner.. asked me a ques.. "do u wan to be a CO signaller..? how do u feel being one.. excited? motivated?"... haha dumb ques.. i tot to myself.. (my current appt title is a CO signaller..) immediately i answered w/o any hesitations.. " to be honest.. i dun lik being one..." why he asked.. "i dun think i'm up to it..?" he paused for a while.. looks a bit disappointed.. n said dat he could change my appt title if i nod my head.. frm a CO sig(maintain signal set w/ e battalion Commanding officer) to a rearlink(basically do nth).. it's too tempting.. of coz i chose rearlink.. i only get $470 per mth..y not chose a zuobo job over a stress one..?.. but really regretted after e talk.. felt so no pride n useless.. n dat... i had let e stunner down.. haha.. but really dunno wat to do.. he said dat.. he will see abt it.. so just leave it to fate den.. be it CO sig or rearlink.. i'm just a man.. haha

wanted to watch troy last nite.. but all shows r full... so went ktv instead until 4plus.. still feeling tired now.. go take a nap..zzZZzz~
