Ups and downs, ups and downs
Ah yes, i'm back home after done with my last NCO duty.... what an eventful one too. let's go back to wednesday night, after i left home....
that night i met up with christy at jurong point, basically just hung out around there, fooled around in Toys 'R Us, then back to camp. I heard before that one of my guys, the night before his Ippt, he took 2 cans of red bull and went to sleep... next day he got silver award. So i thought, hey maybe it can work for me too. But then.... it didn't sort of work for me. that night i couldn't sleep till around 1am. i realized that i was pretty stupid about that... but i just brushed it off. next day i woke up to find the sky all red, alright a sign that the test might be cancelled due to rain.... half an hour later as the sun came up and the sky cleared up, fuck. ok nevermind... later when me and another guy who's also taking the test with me went to register our names, the guys there told us that they didn't recieve our names. Suddenly our faces brightened up, if they didn't receive our names, that means no test! we went to our barrack and started changing to our uniforms, feel so glad that i didn't have to take it today... Then, after informing the upstairs ppl, they said that they'll check it out.... a while later we got news that our names were found. Fuck again. once again, we changed back to our sports attire... $!#$%^#&!!....
the test sucked, for me at least. i didn't strategized at all... took the wrong station first... ended up failing chin-up by just 1, and almost flunked my shuttle run... but at the SBJ station, i was given a golden opportunity. i haved always flunked SBJ all the while, but i was given a pass on the score sheet... and that gave me the motivation to go all out to try to pass this shit ippt. you had no idea how i felt man... so i tried to take chin-up again... but still failed... and i managed to get a pass for my shuttle-run. ok... i'm allowed to just fail 1 station and that means i had to go all out for my 2.4km run. And there.... was where i had no idea what went wrong with me. i knew i had to pass the run... i even had a pacer.... but my legs just couldn't get any faster. in the end i did a 14min... that was way too far from the passing time. while walking back to barrack, i just couldn't believe myself... that i missed a once in a lifetime chance to get a pass. my mind was running nowhere but only at my sorry self.
at that point of time, i was like urgh... have to face that boss, hear the other black boss scream cos he was fuckin' particular about the 2.4run.. i remained quiet all the while till i reached up there. strangely, when my boss saw me, he asked...
"fail ah?"
"yeah..."
*walked away"
o_O --?
that was it?! no nothing, no words no... huh? i was expecting some lecture and a punishment planned out for me.... but that was all i got. Cool. And that other boss? hell, i think he didn't even know that i had ippt just now. Man, am i that lucky or what...
that afternoon was pretty lonely... not to mention fuckin' hot too. BUT STILL... me and my standby buddy were told to do some BS labour work, like transport some sandbags and spread sand over some areas... ah man, of all times, my boss had to choose a day when there's... NOT MUCH MANPOWER AROUND. freak don't wanna talk about that anymore... let's just skip to the next day....
Ah yes the next day, guess what? i can't go out of the place cos... the other shift guys were attending an outbase run. OoOoh and as if that wasn't enough, later in the day i had to drive a dog to Jalan Kayu to remove a dead nail from its paw... all these ON MY LAST NCO DUTY. -_- well at least Jalan Kayu was better that staying up there... OOh OOOH ok you may have heard about this but.... i never knew that the BEST curry chicken was at that prata shop in Jalan Kayu. i was only told about this when we were there and he offered to treat me to the curry chicken... and OMFFFGGG, it was definately the FUGGING BEST I'VE EVER HAD! the gravy was just nice, not too hot, not thick and not dilute... and da chicken, so soft all over! let it be the breast part, thigh part whatever... i bet if they have it as a whole chicken, it'd have soft meat all over!!!! kinda pricy though, about 4 bucks just the chicken and gravy alone... but hey, fugging worth it! the other guy who also tried it was like.... speechless when he took it into his mouth. Hell man, if i've got the chance next time, i wanna go back there and have that curry chicken anytime!
Man, after talking about the food, i kinda loss the mood to write.... but anyway the rest of the evening me and the partner were sleeping like pigs, fuckin' no rest in the afternoon ya know. and then the next day, book out... finally. today for the whole afternoon i was cleaning up the inside of my computer, didnt know that there was soooo much dust and dirt inside. Oh yah just remembered... i did kinda mention that i was intending to take pics of Noby and Antis... but hehe, i had to forget to bring the all important camera. plus, it was raining at night, couldn't really bring them out. last chance to do so on my last weekend duty.... 7 more duties to go dudes, home run man.
later tonight Christy's coming over to my place to stay over... maybe we're gonna watch some shows or just chattin' or something... and tomorrow, i gotta wash the car. it's a long weekend and i'm err broke again.... ahahaha i'm such a loser... :~(
