Well, we have a new PC... ha, glad that our ex-Malaysian-now-Singapore PR PC is going to ord in december and is clearing leave now. We thought he is going to extend his service as wat he had told many of us. But now, think he is not going to extend. And even if he extend, he will be posted somewhere else..

But then, Ngo told me the new pc is a fren of that malaysian pc. Damn. Pull string here and there again. Yes, this is army.

Our section has been quite unlucky.

Yah, we changed gate A tentage on tuesday. David and Jason were on MC. Amos on overseas leave. And so the 5 of us fixed gate a, b & parade square tentage with those wooden planks placed underneath. This was said to reduce heat trapped under the tentage according to our new 2I/C - a 2nd Warrant officer. Crap. Din actually work. And yes, Section 2 did NOTHING. Section 3 painted all 20 pieces of wooden planks the size of a table tennis table.

Then we had this excercise to simulate bomb blast within camp. Yes, we had 6 different scenarios. Section 3 did the rehearsal on last monday, and supposedly on thursday also for COL Toh to see. But they postponed. So we kena!

We did this exercise on friday. Oh, Amos still on leave. And yes, it was our standby. No rest at all. Exercise was in the morning. And we had debrief in the afternoon after our lunch at 2.15pm!! So damn hungry by that time. Well, the commandants were not satisfied. Signboards were out of place. Signs not secured properly. Blah blah blah.... and so, we will repeat this exercise again next thursday, 14oct. Yes, it is our standby.

Hey wait. Section 2 still has not come into picture yet.....

Ok, so since signboards were not satisfactory. We gonna redo it. And who is doing it? Who else but WE!! Yes, the 2I/C asked us to do either on that friday nite or following monday. Yes, monday we are on standby again.

Then lastly, the 2I/C said, we will do this exercise on thurs. And friday, section 2 will do it. Finally, section 2 has got something to do!

And before the debrief ended, we were yet given another task - to CLEAN the staircase near that OPs room cuz cigarette butts were everywhere. Damn. This is obviously not our problem. Our section has never had any smoker. This is none of our business. I told that 2i/c that we were not the one who smoked and furthermore, we had cleaned and washed the same staircase last time. And he said, aiyah, it's simple job. Just sweep away the butts and also clear the papers littered at the first floor. Damn. And still gave us assurance that next time he sees anyone throw butts there, even if it is the specs, he will punish them. Ha, who believe.

Obviously, all those cigarettes were from the OPs specs. Even section 2 and 3 have smokers, they dun smoke there. It is so far from our bunk. Well, nvm. We cleaned the staircase. Everyone were just complaining. Worse was, sgt kai chong and junior were smoking at the staircase while we doing our job. Crap.

Later when we went back to ops room for duty at 5pm, kai chong gathered us and told us some crap. It was such a pissed off 'speech'. This is army. Not a chalet. You all just have to follow orders. No point complaining and showing ur attitude. That will not gain u anything. Just do ur job and u can get ur nights off. And dun compare with other sections. Fool. I wanted to voice out something during his 'advice', but i refrained from doing so. Nevermind about it. It will just make me seems im showing attitude.

Lesson 1: Showing temper = Showing attitude.
Lesson 2: Voicing our discontentment = Showing attitute.
Lesson 3: Dont compare with other sections. Compare ur rank with ur superiors first.
Lesson 4: Dont complain in the presence of sergeants/superiors. Do in behind their backs. Dont let them hear u. Or u will be labelled as highly attitude problematic.
Lesson 5: Apply leave in advance. MC will be perfect too.

Yes, I dun really care about having nights off or not. The issue is about justice and fairness and not about nights off. Why should we be the one to clean their asses after they shitted?
