Well, wat a wonderful week it has been.. I hav been so busy, i didnt even think abt wat i wanted to put up until yesterday... Last week was a killer sia, luckily nxt week is cny week, got a week to rest up and prepare to endure another period of my NS life..
Major highlight of this week was the incoming of the new CO... The focus wasnt really on him la, it was on doing wat we do best to impress him... That previous sentence shld be used on all commanders, and nt the men, who kinda just did ALL THE WORK... I mean, do the CSM's think its really that simple to clean off years of mud off the mud guard of a tonner (SAF truck)? At least, that was my impression, seeing that all he did was told us to wash it, without even giving us advice on how to do it, how well it shld be.. Got scolded in the end for nt being able to wash it up clean enough, and had to do it another time... This time our PC (platoon commander, not personal computer) decided that we needed some professional help, and stepped into the action.. The nxt phase of cleaning went much better, with all of us scrubbing the dumb tonner with brooms, splashing water at it using jerry cans, and using oil to clean and darken the tyres.. There was even a joke that our CSM might juz go drifting on the tonner after we oiled the wheels..
Sad fact? The tonner has 5 wheels, one spare at the side that no one took notice of.. However, it was noticed on the actual day's morning itself... So what will u do if u spot it? Of coz u get your men to do the job rite? Its too tiring for the old man to do it, so he kinda juz gave the orders, and the suay kia, LCP Lim Wei En Benjamin, juz hav to kena the ultimate job of blackening the spare tyre.. Equipped with kiwi and brush, the poor LCP spent nearly an hour in the sweltering hot sun, emptying the kiwi can to blacken that darn tyre... How could we stand such things? We are soldiers for goodness sake, not odd job labourers... Well, that can of kiwi was only enough for half the tyre, and only half the tyre is exposed, so who cares abt the other unseen half?? I seriously want to see the look on the pple in transport hub when we return the vehicle.. Frm some muddy pile of scrap metal to some brand new Man truck, we could hav won the extreme makeover vehicle edition...
At least the day ended with a sumptious dinner that included curry crab, laksa, fried kway teow, and free flow of beer with sexy gals to go along... So cannot say we chiong so hard for nth la, at least got some seriously nice tasting curry crab... But somehow this was one week.. The rest of the week was spent doing other utter rubbish that makes me wonder why...
Well, i decided to include a quote of the day, coz i saw it somewhere and i juz couldnt shake that quote away frm my mind... Its dumb, dirty but quite true.. It goes like this: "If u think sex is a pain in the butt, u may be doing it wrongly.." =P
