slack week..worked 3 days out of 5 only this week..and wednesday din even do anything much 'cept fixed a mg piston; spent the entire morning and half the time after lunch juz sitting ard the workshop and crapping with my pals..coz my sergeant was bz elsewhere charging some awol fellow. hah.

thursday was the 6dsmb family day..held at chevrons. first time i've been there..so walked a hell lot of extra distance juz to get there coz i too cheapo to take bus from jurong east, heh. dunno how..i got chosen to represent my platoon in one of the our two teams for the bowling competition...ttz right..bowling!! when i dun even have any idea how the pt system of the game works and cant bowl worth a damn..

lunch was pretty good, but best thing was co declared ytd a battalion off day~ somehow i ald guessed tt to be so when they read out the ro all the way until monday's on wednesday afternn. heng nv apply off on fri. watched king kong after tt in town..long time nv go there liao, eye candy galore..whee!!

nth much on fri..cept went for haircut and a run in the evening. this week, i covered a total of 32k in 3 days..but somehow, i dun feel any fitter than other weeks when i did less distance. why? any running guru care to tell me how to improve? ck, if ur reading this, i noe the distance is still veri little compared to wad ur doing..but still, its the first time i did more than 30k a week..heh.

got trashed at pool by alvin today..12 games i only won 2..and one is a fluke, coz alvin pot the white ball togeda with the black one. guess i still have a long, long way to go. dinner at bk in orchard with his fren gerald..veri funny guy..laughed until i cannot eat..

now tt i have graduated from the small arms course at oeti, i can be considered a certified armament tech or some say armourer..which means i'll be out of oeti, servicing weapons either at base or unit level.

thus, the beginning of this week saw me at 6dsmb, ttz direct support maintenance base, at nee soon driclad centre, next to nee soon camp. this is obviously good news for me, since the place is damn near my hse~juz a 10 min walk to the bus stop and another 10 min bus ride to the camp, which also means i can slp late, haha.

im being detailed to rifle section 2, which deals in gpmg, m203, steyr ssg 69 sniper rifle and p226 combat pistol..shiok! since i nv learned abt steyr and p226 back in oeti, its a whole new experience to learn to strip, assemble and service these 2 cool guns. im also learning alot of stuff abt really how to fix guns tt are spoiled..from changing parts to riveting..the whole package.. and its really differnt from wad i do at oeti, where all we did was strip/ assemble and do fit for firing inspections..and since its a base, we basically do all kinds of repairs, unless the gun is really beyond repair..cases like the receiver crack and such, den we send them back to the factory.

well, im really enjoying my life as an armourer in 6d, but i still hope to go back to recourse in cdo..haha, some ppl say im nuts, hao bu rong yi get out of cdo still wan to go back..but, its wad i really wan, so it doesnt matter how hard its gg to get, i'll preservere. after all, its all in the mind, like my pc used to say. rite now, im still waiting for word from cpc to go back and join the jan batch for my recourse..and im supposed to hear from them somewhere ard mid to late december..well, nth i can do now, except to maintain my fitness and wait and hope they dun dua me.

im really getting alot of halfdays at oeti recently, today again..reason being we went for a site visit to st kinetics ode, in jurong industrial estate..damn..all the times i passed by tt place in the past, and i din even noe tt its the very place where singapore makes all its guns and military hardware!!

anyway, i finally finished with my last practical on the 120mm mortar today morn, and after lunch, off we went to stk. well, it was definitely an eye opening experience. there was this wonderfully done up gallery with all of stk's weapons and joint projects with foreign ordnance companies, followed by a short viewing of some weapon ads, some of which were damn corny.

went to the live range for a test fire of the sar21 afterwards, which i think was quite exciting to some of my platoonmates who nv touched a live weapon before, let alone fire one..best part was we got to see the other variations of the sar21, with p-rail mounts and red dot sights, shortened barrels etc..the stuff of spec ops, heh..final part of the visit was to the plant to see how the sar21 was made..gawd..the way the aunties at the assembly line put together the various mechanisms and components of the weapon really made all of us feel like a whole lot of idiots..hah.
