Not too sure about myself now.

Chief of Defence Dialogue Session
061109 Friday CloudyFriday was one of the days in recent weeks to not have rained. Lucky for me, if not i would not have been able to get home from Mindef, probably stuck somewhere again just like last saturday. The day started with a call from admin office reminding me of the dialogue session and asking if i've got myself ready and mdm probably got a shock hearing my dreamy dreamy vocice, well i was still sleeping at that point of time.
First time been to the mindef building, security was pretty tight with the different security checks that i ahve to go through. I reached the floor where the CDF office was and had to go thru another layer of check. The atmosphere was pretty tense in the room as we waited for the briefing prior to the arrival of the CDF. I was pretty tensed during the waiting time at the reception room wondering about the possible things that i could speak later.
The whole session lasted for approximately two hours. I was really impressed with the way CDF carried himself when he speaks, the way he speaks and the content of it all. The way he handled and answered some of the sensitive topics that were thrown into disscusion was reallly impressive. The first thing i did when the question was thrown out was to obsreve his reaction time in answering but his reply was almost immediate and the delivery was smmoth with no signs of pauses to think about what to say. I guess all great leaders really are very good speakers and engagning. An enriching and insightful experience, because its not everyday that you will hear how certain things actually function from the viewpoint of the people at the very top.
Sometimes where poeple keep complaining about certain things, it really irritates me. Certain job appointment requires to hold the responsibility to carry this much of stuff. so when you have to carry it out. Carry it out, do not keeep complaining that they did a lot of thing, but what you are trying to prove? isnt it part of your job scope? thruout ns i've heard alot comments that they do not really bother about certain things because its probably screwed up in the first place and nothing can make it better. but isnt this where one can make a difference and improbe so that the later batches will not undergo the same things and to improve the things that are currently going wrong. well i must admit that sometimes this influence of negative thoughts got into me and i behave in the same way as well. but im trying my best...

Start of November
I have been under-bloggin pretty much. Seriously, its pretty down to laziness. I always draft it out in my mind, was online the whole time but just the final step of logging in and typing it down.I have been reading pretty much manga and watching anime. There is this one anime which ends up in a pretty tragic ending which have the girl killed the super irresponsible guy, and this other girl who loves him deeply killed the girl.
i think i still need to improve pretty much on my inter-personal skills. especially going on to university soon. perhaps its my apathy attitude and reluctance to take charge that is really hindering bah.
to a certain friend, sometimes u really ought to learn to watch your mouth, sometimes it really gets to me.
oh well SECRET is showing soon and i think its a damn nice show with an unexpected twist in the storyline when i first watched it.
diagloue session with the CDF as well this friday with only 15 peeps from 3 services.

Mid-Autumn??
Having cooped in the house the whole day. Almost forgotten that its mid-autumn today, seeing all the candles and lanterns and gatherings at the void deck area as well as the park. Triggered me to search in my memories, my memory of celebration was one at the field opposite chong pang.HAPPY MID AUTUMN EVERYONE

CMD course
Chosen for some CMB course for deserving nsf. i Laughed when i heard it cos im just randomly chosen out of all eligible. nonetheless hopefully it will be enriching. its something bout "motivation to succeed"finally made the call for the dental checkup for the removal of my wisdom tooth. have been putting it off for a long time, finally remembered.
I really wish to make an impact and improve the overall standards of our trainees, teachings. But apparently u need mates who share the same vision as you instead of people who just care about ORD-ing and instead of people who just care about their paycheck and totally bring down the system with their bad work attitude. In the end, i could do nothing but to give everything i've got to this 10 people and hopefully 1 or 2 can take it in and passed it to the next. Afterall im just a low-ranking personnel despite all the bullshit talk bout recognition.

movies
G.I Joe with army buddiesthe initially fighting part cant make out who is who and G.I Joess doesnt seem that great after all in the movie. Only the snake eye is cool with his fighting style.
See what ghost with dad

exercise
Pre- Exercise.There is this urge to chao-keng and not go to the airport but apparently i recovered in time. As long as no fever its a green light to go. There isnt much anticipation this time as the last as i didnt tell anyone bout it and i just went with my buddies all and the familiar scenes that i will go through in my mind. I touch down and this time its a little different, reached camp in the morning which means work starts immediately. And everything is prepared nicely courtesy of the advance party. =)
Prep Phase.
Usual stuffs like maintenance and taking over stalls. Seems like the fresh air really help people recover faster. This time there was life run in the morning but life walk for me instead, just cant keep up. And the toilet condition is worse then last time.
Phase 1.
Stoning everyday in my life, seriously. Just sleep while waiting for orders. And i was told not to help so i jus sit and watch the whole day. Just waiting for the order to sleep at night and wake up in the morn at 5+ 6 cause daylight is damn early over there. Phase 1 was terribly tough to survive thru somehow. My gun was peaceful, just that cant fire but not much other problem. Somehow i dunno how i survived through to the technical break.
Phase 2.
Somehow phase 2 is much more easier to bear knowing that i will leave a day earlier than the rest to take the spare gun back. Also everything pretty much gotten used to life outfield. Help with the carrying of rounds and carrying a few made me realise how weak i have become, struggling after a few unlike last time.
Post Phase.
Cleaning the gun was a hassle and i swear i wasnt all sit and watch... I frigging clean the gun for dunno how many times already in my life. And its tough as usual with all the dust. And the Hot Hot Hot sun....lucky there is occasional rain this time outfield so it wasnt all that bad. And also a day of Dota at the Lan Shop. I wonder if the uncle at the Lan shop is married, he seems to live there in the camp so where do he get his own personal life. He sits there the whole day while the rest of us was gaming away.Hmm..
Also our boss gave us a treat.
R&R
Pretty much the same things but with better focus this time as been there before. Did a few things that i din get to do the other time.
Hell Fire Pass - Jus stayed in the museum
Death Railway - Went to pray to the buddha again. Photo at the railway & an elephant tee
Big C - Total waste of time (arcade time)
River Kwey - Thai Massage. And search for my mark that i left the other time on the bridge but cant find my carving.
Floating Market - Get to sit on the boat
Future Park - Just spend the rest of our money on clothes. Very focus.
And im back. hopefully im able to get some pics. i din bring cam this time as well.... well well. Course starting soon.
