Watch Forbidden Kingdom yesterday with Young, PKK and Daniel. Pauline backed out the last minute, Naqiah watching with her attachment senior (sure he treating her). I didn't know that Cathay ticket price for student during weekdays was only $6! Thought is was $7.

Anyway, the movie was nice... The director imagination is very unique. He completely twisted the tale of Journey to the west, Bulletproof monk and transformer together. Before the show, was installing Programme Engineering into my laptop. After the movie, went over to HQ to get my No. 3 top changed and collected my LOA.

I miss staying up real late with my windows open. I have no idea why, but I like the sounds that you hear at night. No bus, no inconsiderate driver reving their vehicles, no auntie talking, no kids crying. Just me, the fan, the sound of my graphic card and processor fan, and the keyboard.

Now, I have no idea why, I find it difficult to keep my eyes open pass 4am. Attachment might be the cause.

Last friday, saturday and sunday was Mini Kayaking Expedition. High time, went there and was informed with a hell lot of last minute changes. Some people just want to get trouble off their ass, they don't care if the others are suffering. So I have to change the time plan. To make matters worst, there was not enough instructors. Can't really blame the instructors for coming late, their choice.

Reporting in, still ok, not much cock ups. Then dinner, admin time, movement to Sembawang Camp and lights off. The toilet MSUT give me problem at this time. Boys toilet was locked, used the girls toilet as the guys toilet, moved the girls toilet to the toilet on the third floor. Went back SSTC at around 11 plus, talked to those instructors that were going to book in till 12 plus. Then talked to those staying in till 2+ bathed, talked again then sleep.

Woke up at 5, cadets were already at SSTC, breakfast, warm up, briefing, then set off. slept for a while, bus came, destination Pasir Ris park. The rest don't have to go really into details. After lunch, before launching off, I went over to the beach for check for jellyfish. Waaa, ALOT man! Its like every few minutes you will see one near shore, so me and Darryl was busy scooping jellyfish from the beach to a make shift sea water "pond". gathered about 20+ jellyfish. Forgot to get the picture from one of the Teacher Officer. IT WAS A JELLYQUARIUM! Didn't know what happend aafter that, was on board the assualt boat. Practise my driving skills. Scared the shit out of everyone when I PURPOSELY went really really really close to another vessel. The new TCO 2LT Bryan was the "racer" the way he drive the boat, can send you flying out if you didn't hold on tight. It was fun not scary =).

Before reaching Sembawang Shipyard, Barry decided to tow some cadets, I took the oppotunity and towed one of the cadets in a very interesting way. I got on the kayak told the cadet not to paddle and I paddles all the way back. I felt my muscles growing (=X).

Pharse 2 was there went phrase 1 was bask, played around a little while in the kayak before going up to shore. blah blah blah, phrase 1 sent home, phrase 2. Managed to have my revenge on my cadets. By that time, the strength of the instructors was almost full (some went home without telling me).

Most of the boat crew went Causeway WITHOUT ASKING AND INFORMING ME! Made me run here and there looking for them (well... I didn't run, just asked someone to run for me ><). Booked in with the cadets, blah blah blah. Bath and slept at 1+.

Woke up before the cadets came, some people are so stupid, set alarm just to have it turn off when it chimes. Repeat of phrase 1, till after lunch. Was sooooo bored that I asked Nabihah to swtich with me. I go down to kayak. Met with a storm halfway, beached up somewhere near Sembawang Park. WOOT! JELLYFISH STING! Not me but some of the cadets. The level of panick was brought to a whole new level. I was cold, hungry and partially exhuasted, but I STILL CAN MOVE. Blankets were brought down for the shivering cadets, 3 cadets sent to the hospital. Setted off when the storm stopped, kayaked back.

Reached SSTC at around 1830 (last man out of water). Debrief, wash up, everything done at around 2000. Talk about having standard, the one who commented on OUR (cadet officers) standard practially broke HIS OWN rule, by saying vulgarities. Where is your standard then?

Actually first impression don't really count that much. Its the impression that you give along the way that will last.

Ok just right, going to bath, eat then go off to school.
