Accumulator & Short circuit= Sparks, heat and a burnt fingerI think I did mention before signallers have the highest probability of getting hurt because they deal with electrical devices all the time. I finally have a taste of that. I received a nasty shock from a short circuit when I was dismantling the signal set from the land rover. Haha I was so overwhelmed at that point of time that I asked if I would get to keep my finger. Its partly due to my negligence. Bleah was too complacent because this was our bread and butter drill and I thought I was already proficient with it. Apparently not =P. Anyway, there's this huge blister on my index finger now to remind me of my blunder. It sucks to be rejected but once again I was rejected by NUS. No choice but to stick to science. However I didnt think it would be that bad after all. Thanks to Joey for talking to me and surprisingly managed to convince me to believe him. Im a obstinate person you see =P. Anyway, this isnt the first time Im rejected. AC wanted me when SA didnt. And AC didnt turn out that bad after all. In fact I kinda glad when A's level result came out cause AC fare better. Our line sergeant ORDed march and now my PC is leaving on 8th Jun, together with one of my platoon mate. With this people leaving while I still have like 8 months to go, I really crave for the freedom I lost long ago. In fact I already forgotten how it feels like to be a normal civilian. I've lived in camp more than the time I spent at home. Until my turn comes, I still have to endure countless exercises a.k.a torturous outfield routines which gets you sticky and dirty all over. And the fact I was given a new appointment (S3 signaller) didnt make it any better. Besides I have several 'fantastic' platoon mates who chit chats when the rest are working. And often my new line sergeant would join in the fun as well. Arghhhhhhhhh. Im becoming so whiney and bitchy that Im starting to hate myself. 248 tormenting days to ORD Saturday, May 05, 2007, 11:05 PM
I've been feeling really empty these few weeks, ever since I came back from training overseas. I've been in service for close to 13 months and it has become a bore to book in every sunday night and go through mindless training. I can feel my brain deteriorating every single day I spend in camp.Perhaps its the sergeants that ORDed recently and the imminent ORD of my PC and a close friend which prompt me to think about what life outside NS would be like. I have long forgotten what it feels like to be liberated, free from the curse that plague all Singaporean boys. Sometimes I cant help but smile when I think of the day I ORD. Perhaps its the strenous physical trainings our CSM commenced to regain the fitness we lost during the whole month. After all, we barely have time to train there. Perhaps its the time i spend idling in camp which could be used for more meaningul purposes. I have thought of picking up programming, webpage designing, culinary skills and driving. Stuck in camp for a week, and the prospect of getting weekend guard duty, activated for exercise is very real, really put me off the mood to do any of those. So many to do, yet only 2 days to accomplish. Perhaps its the thought of the upcoming exercises and ATEC right before I ORD. The latter means I do not have any time to clear my SO CALLED entitlement: 14 days of leave. Im getting very sick and tired of the life Im going through now. 276 to ORD |
