this was the biggest week in the history of pasir ris camp since the cdo trg institute was set up there. coz ytd chief of army~ mg desmond quek visited the camp and officially inauguarated the cdo trg institute. before tt, earlier in the afternn, the annual cdo workplan seminar was also held in prc, a first..since up till last year, it was always held at hendon.

prior to this huge event, we spent the entire week preparing for it, cleaning up here and there, moving stuff and such..the std kinds of sai kang la..which is also wad i've been doing for the past 2 weeks since i came back fr airborne course. basically juz morning pt, b/f, den wait in my bunk for the saikang to come; its really damn boring. hah.

and ytd, after the coa and his entourage were done with the tour and unveiling of the cdo ti logo and stuff, there was a happy hr in the officers' mess. myself and a bunch of other lobos got chosen to work as temporary servers in the mess, helping to serve drinks and clear up after the officers. gawd, i've never before seen so many crabs and chocolate bars congregated under one roof at a single time, so last nite was quite an eye opener.

tt said, the officers were all happily partying away all the way till after midnite. there was ktv there, so many of them took turns singing, mostly oldies..tho some of them, like my bmt pc, could actually sing quite well, which we were surprised to find out. needless to say, chicken little was there too, and singing away enthusiastically most of the time. but sad to say, his singing sucked, really sucked..looking at him crooning away in his seat, probably halfway marbo after many drinks, we tried hard nt to laugh out loud, but just snicker among ourselves when we were out of his line of sight.

coa and the other big shots actually left quite early.. with the exception of the chief cdo officer and our ti cmdr, who stayed damn late to ard 1130..by which time, most had left, and those still hanging ard were our own instructors, namely the warrants of our camp..and i think some of them were pissed drunk also, coz they kept pushing us drink after drink and making us 'tar' on the spot. haha. towards the end, after everything was cleared up and we were juz waiting for the greenlight to pack up and go home, it was down to the bunch of us juz sitting ard the bar and ourselves crooning away on the mikes, since the my pc, who was surprisingly still sober, choosed a few songs and sang together with us..haha.

well, it was a fun night. perhaps even a once in a lifetime one. coz nt everyday do u get to serve drinks to a two star and all the three crabs hanging ard him, right?
