phew... time REALLTY flies in armour.. unlike delta, where we had too much time that they used it to tekan us... armour has no time to do those kinda bullsh*t... coz even if we're done with ops, we have to do servicing, greasing, maintenance, cleaning, testing etc etc...
and with lotsa work to do, comes me... im actually designated with 3 roles... main appointment being 1 of the Admin I.Cs who oversee course matters and do those kinda essential non-vehicle related matters e.g helmet.. i'm also the publications I.C in charge of drawing, sending, accounting for manuals we loan out and return... and its a hell lots of it.. i'm also the safety cadet in charge of preparing safety stores and keeping track of safety issues.. sometimes im given additional roles like CPC (cadet platoon commander)
sounds bad? but whenever i go outfield, the outstanding role would be safety cadet and the admin i.c who also doubles as part of the advance party.. i have to say sometimes my job is easier.. sometimes its tougher than the others... but what i cant really take well is when people question me.. "where were you? slacking right?" though it may sound as a joke to them it really 'made' my day... everytime im done with my outstanding roles, i always try to go to the vehicle shed to aid the others.. unlike some others i can clearly see enjoying the 'luck' of being picked for lesser roles and staying out of work..
sometimes i feel a little f*** up coz i tend to be overused.. loLX... i can swear to god... i'm never even half as hardworking back in delta than now... almost trying to help out in everything and volunteering to do things.. somehow i find myself more enthusiastic probably due to the more reasonable and better life armour gave to me than ocs.. till the extent that i'm always asked to help people.. not that im complaining.. but like last nights floatation exercise, i quickly took position as the checking party, crawling below the vehicle everytime b4 it went into the water.. wet.. muddy... cramp... tired... but i kept going by keeping myself in high spirits...
when i was damn shagged i tried to ask someone to sub me... but was called back to check hte next vehicle.. hoping that someone would come.. but no one offered to come to take over until one of the instructors complain that he kept seeing me climbing below the vehicle when we're supposed to swap roles.. though i keep doing alot of saikang.. i understand the limitations due to our course's small size.. but still the others should help out more.. so everyone's life would be easier yeah?
well.. just a lonesome guy spilling out his thoughts...

hmmZ... quite some passed again... been having problems with my template so i thought its time i settled for sometihng more normal.. hahaz.. plain looking at the moment but i intend to add more pics soon yupZ? =] gonna book in slightly earlier tonight at 2200hrs coz of our driving test tml...
driving isnt as easy as i hoped.. hahaz... esp the gullies... i just cant help pulling the steering too hard on one side and tilt the vehicle.. really dangerous though.. but i do fine for the other obstacles.. hahaz.. just hope i pass tml.. >.< lifes kinda screwed in a way though in armour... haiz... i've been passing my IPPT only thus far.. been really happy abt 3 weeks ago when i finally ran below 10min at 9.43min... the latest one at 9.38min... but it was a unfocussed run.. coz i was totally demoralised.. i just cant FREAKING JUMP!! blardie SBJ... been pressuring me alot.. esp since my section is waiting for me to get gold so they can get merit points.. everyone keeps pressuring me.. my section mates, the instructors.. its not like im not trying.. but adding oil to the fire doesnt help either.. its not like im not putting effort! ugh... f*** up!
national day... didnt feel particularly joyous on that day since i had to book in that very night.. went out with jk,kl,ys and fabby to suntec there.. met up with JJ for a while then we left to suntec for dinner at sizzler.. the salad bar rocks man.. so much that i was too full for my main course.. >.< no wonder they said next time class outing go eat sizzler.. =] got this jap restaurant at orchard that my OCS frenz keep talking abt.. maybe we'll try it next time too... hehZ...
oh yah.. the J2s just had their farewell dinner on national day eve.. was really heartwarming to see canoeists new and old gathered.. felt really nostalgic as the J2s gave away and recevied souvenirs... seniors talking on the stage... jokes abt trg.. pictures to laugh at... hope the J1s really put in more effort and carry on with this canoeing family tradition.. was kinda surprised when lk told me how inspired they were after my talk with them at macritchie 2 months back or so... but still the rest is up to them.. i can inspire, can encoruage.. but the steps to take is theres their own... until i have more free time next year to train the canoeists i wish them and the J2s all the best!!
