Fly My Shining Dragon Knight

Howdy, its been quite a while again.
Its been 3 Months actually!
I came back from Thailand just in time to POP.
After which I attained my 3SG rank.

Following that I was posted back to Tekong!
Doing 2 weeks of Commanders Prep Course(CPC) with Sparties, Armour & Sandbags in SISPEC.
Then doing Unit Immersion Program(UIP) in Tekong before posted to my Coy.

So far, I've been confined with my Rec for 2 weeks.
Though some Malaria directive states I stay out for 8 weeks.
But that has long ended.
Coming to the end of my Rec 3 week stay in Tekong.

But that's for work.
I celebrated my 21st Birthday quietly with my Princess.
Watched Transformers Revenge of the Fallen (Cool!)
Went to PRCS's 10th Anniversary last night. (Also Cool!)

Hmm, for today, it's just one of the days where my optimism fails to cheer up the bleakest of days.
I met Princess for lunch @ Bugis.
I was late as dad wanted to delay me...
We ate at the Zen Zen Restaurant.
Weird name but it sells Italian food in Asian Style Packaging??!!

Then we visited
-Cheers (for drinks)
-Sunshine Plaza (To see figurines)
-This Fashion (See Clothes for Princess)
-Iluma (New Shopping center)
-Arcade (erm to catch turtles?)
-Uzumaki (Ice Cream)
-Bugis Junction (Looking for birthday prezzies)
-Zinc (To buy my Princess her new bag)

Iluma is totally huge with many teen targeted shops!
Not like the squeezy Tamp1...
Eitherway we visited Otaku Hse (Another branch!)
A visit to the Arcade made things topsy turvy.

A failed attempt at catching turtles led to a upset Princess.
Gave Upset Princess a ice cream from a restaurant which charged extra 17% (10%service charge + 7% GST) for takeway! [What a ripoff, what service??]
Bought Upset Princess a bag from Zinc.
Figured out we won't be able to take any photos like we promised many dates ago...

Just Before my B'day.
Its time for....

B'day Wishlist!!
-Ipod Touch Leather Flip Case from Nubox (Gotten)

Ha ha. Just some random gift ideas for friends.
Anyway, to those who are having exams.
Jiayou!

Wow, the first post of the year!
Wishing all my friends
A Wonderfully Happy & Prosperous Chinese New Year!

Hmm, An Update on how life is for myself.
Currently serving the nation in SISPEC.
Camp all the way in the west.
Every-time I book in/out its East-West or West-East.

So far, its been 5 weeks, this is the beginning of the 6th week.
I've been through most technical handling tests (Weapons, Signals, Medical).
It's surprising that I'm still studying in Camp.
The Army has adopted Problem Based Learning too!!

Besides studying for tests, I've been through field camp.
Taken my tour of duty as:
~Leader Section Commander (LSC)
~Leader Platoon Sergeant (LPS)
~Leader Sgt Major (LSM)

Most of the appointments occurred during events (Navigation Ex + Range).
So I guess you can imagine the hellish workload + scoldings I get.
Besides that, I'm going for another camp this week.
Its UrbOps Time!
Should be quite fun, minus the rifle cleaning.
Until Next Post, Au Revoir!

POP-ed.
Had Japanese Buffet with section mates.
Went KL for a few days to celebrate my cousin's birthday.
And visit my grandparents.
Now back to Sg.

The video below was a funny video off youtube.
I was bored...

Esplanade Lighted Up!














Its been a long while since I posted.
Since Sep, before I enlisted.
Life has been [Good/Bad] a fair share of ups and downs.
Army Trainings & Lessons.

Overall, I say its a [Tiring/Tough/Thoughtful] experience.
Field Camp was a terror. (Shell Scrape, Rain, Artillery Drills, Fast March, Battle Immersion Course)
But it was also fun! (Firing Blanks, Forming up formations, Urban Ops, talking cock with section mates)

SIT test was round 2. (Fast Marches, Doubling from point to point, Arty again??)
Then again, it was memorable. (Doing things our own way, Meeting new people)

Range was range. (Long Waits in between, but firing LIVE rounds!)
I was the [Only/Sole/First/Last] Man in my detail.
Imagine the whole range, with 18 lanes, only 1 man firing.
That was just weird. LOL















(Picture Not My Own)

Anyway I brought Princess out to celebrate!
Princess had done well in her Maths Test 37/40.
I had just gotten my Marksman & passed my IPPT.
We had Fish & Co for dinner.
My Princess ended up eating Tatar Sauce with Fish & Chips.
Uniquely Princess!
















After that I brought her to buy a new wallet @
Wallet Shop.
The one she had been eyeing for some time.
And we had ice cream @ Andersons to celebrate.
Even Baby Tigger Came over to see.

After that we took a short walk over to see where the flyer was located.
Then another walk home.

Stayed home for most of the day.
My aunt & cousin came over to visit for lunch.

Was supposed to meet ChrisF for dinner.
He had something else more urgent, so I met Princess to have dinner.
We also took some photos @ Plaza Sing
