I'm so glad that the month of August is finally coming to an end! It has been a hectic month with the few "major" events that took place for the past few weeks. Events like the ACS, AHM 08 and the unit's 1 year Anniversary since the inauguration. It was impossible not to get myself involved in anyone of them in one way or another.
ACS
Had to stay overnight the day before the ACS because i was part of the supporting committee as the so called "Ammo 2IC". Set off as early as 6am with SSG Lim to the range to prepare the necessary stuff. There were around 140 people who came for the shoot. Was quite busy the whole day at the range. Almost all of them passed the shoot except for 1 or 2 "Bobo" Shooters who didn't manage to pass. Not even after 7 attempts leh!!! I don't understand why is that so since there were so many who could do it. People like Max can also pass and even get marksman!! Why can't the rest??Anyway, it was a very long day for me that day man. Managed to reach home only at 9+pm after all the unloading and packing up after going back to camp. Tiring~~ =.="
AHM 08
As i mentioned before in my previous blog entry, it was a rather unpleasant day for me man. With all the rain and mud thing, didn't get to run at all for that day. A waste of time to wake up so early to go or the AHM 08. Just another event that is impossible for me to 'siam'. =.=" sianz...
Unit's 1 year Anniversary
We just had our celebration for our unit's 1 year Anniversary at St John's Island during the day!! I've been in the unit for 1 year 2 months already and had witnessed the many transformations that had taken place during my stay there. Considered as one of the 'old bird' NSF there liao. It was a very short celebration indeed, kicking off the whole celebration with an "Amazing Race" which my group got 3rd placing and then the cutting of the cake. We won ourselves 1 hamper with lots of "sinful" food stuff inside! Some of us didn't have our breakfast before we gathered at the Marina pier. Therefore, we were like hungry ghost like that, tearing the hamper open for the food as soon as we went back to our benches!! Then came the packet lunch and the 3/4 cooked bbq chicken (i don't dare to eat, too raw for me) which added on to the variety! There was so much food but we all have only 1 stomach. Wasn't able to finish everything man. From 12 to 2+pm we all OTOT on our own to enjoy ourselves liao. Nothing much to do at St John's Island though. So boring!! Luckily some clever guy brought a basketball along. At least we had some activity on hand to kill the time. Needless to say, my team, consisting of John, Nigel and Freddy was on a winning streak! Haha...We were all so wet and sweaty after the game. Oh well...fortunately i brought an extra top to change. The whole celebration just ended like that.
