Fun Filled Week

Phew... after so much preparation for SAF Bands Annual Dinner 2006, it was finally over last night, and i really do hope everyone enjoyed themselves to the fullest. I know i did, hey and guess what... I won myself a DVD player... haha 1 of the top 10 prizes for the evening (7th to be exact)

Before i carry on with the Anuual Dinner, let me mention abit on Sport day too... This year is my first sports day with SAF Bands, and will also be my last. Its held in camp and I would say its kinda enjoyable, but very tiring in my case... as i was selected as one of the runners for 10 * 1 km race... Was the 2nd runner, were in the lead, but from 3rd runner onwards, the gap was closed in by Central Band, and they were the winner in the end. According to some news i recieved, i clocked in a timing of 3.13mins for my run, 10 sec slower then the fastest runner in the race (Vincent), and in 2nd place... haha didn't know i could run that fast... well there is always something new that i can learn about myself... heez...

Here are some of the pictures taken on that day
With the games all done, the officers entertained us with some "fancy drills" and showed us how the PROS do the job...



Not forgetting our very "garang" and patriotic bass drummer for the contingent... haha



haha, guess thats all for sports day... think i will mention more about Annual Dinner in my next entry, if not its will be so flooded... heez... ciaoz for now...

COG Support week...

Sunday burnt!!! had COG support today... haha the weather was weird, as we were leaving camp its started pouring and seem like its going to be a long and draggy rain. But the moment we got to the istana, it was bright and sunny... sianz...

Anyway, its didn't really concerned me, as i was reserved, so my job was to sit and wait and feed the mosquito as the rest carried out the parade. Learned my lesson from the last parade, returning to camp with many 'presents' from the 'locals' (aka mosquitos). So this time around, i brought along insect repellent, the SAF type, highly effective. Use the traditional "tissue" method learn in BMT, when mosquito coil is not an option. First take a piece of tissue and apply some insect repellnt to it... make sure its evenly spread. Then roll it up to look like a tube.... fold it to thicken it then burn one end. Put out the fire and the smoke will do the rest of the work. Highly Effective, didn't got bitten at all today... heez.. try it!

While looking for the insect repellent yesterday, found a journal that i have written during my BMT days, recorded my everyday life in tekong. All the ups and down, read the first few entries and memories of it started flooding my mind. Think will find time to edit it, then type it out, whu knows, one day you might find it in the best seller colume of all bookstores in Singapore. haha...

Guess thats all I have for the day, tml off, heez can slp longer liao... think heading to town to check out on phone and stuff... for now.. just slacking my life away... heez... 5 more days to Dinner and Dance... can't wait!!! Tata for now
