finally got posted out to the medical centres liao. got posted to ITI at tanjung gul camp, which is this super ulu camp in tuas. right beside it is the containers and the port liao. quite a hassle travelling there. luckily got shuttle bus. and the camp is so bloody old tat i felt like i had gone back to the 80s. the buildings there are all old old type. then the best thing, the medical centre got no aircon in the main areas one!!! only the MO room, dispensary etc got aircon. no more shaking leg in aircon job. sianz. then have to stay in for 2 weeks. and staying in means feeding mosquito. couldn't sleep well the first night man. whole leg kena bitten like siao. then will scratching non stop. scratch scratch until my skin also come off liao. sianz.

end of coruse loh.

yeah!! End of course loh. now i am wondering abt where i am going to posted to. heard tat most centres have to stay in for abt 1 to 3 mths. sianz. still have to stay in. just praying praying to get to a place near my hse.

the last week has been ok. final 2 iv sessions. kena poked a few times as usual. i counted the no. of scars on my hands. realise tat i kena 22 16G needle. if chinni never cock up, then one shot one kill can liao. but when he cock up, then have to poke like 4 times!! then have to offer my arm to aaron ang also. but now, yeah, no more ppl poke me. only i go poke ppl!! end of course liao, then on thu nite got a mass sabo session. not only our platoon got , other platoon also got. and our target, of course is chinni n kwek. i can't stand kwek too, dun ask me why. kwek only kena water. chinni practically become white. lucky i was hiding inside bunk 3, then never kena much, only derek n pinkie come and ka jiao me. wanted to spray ppl with air wick (a new form of sabo i have seen), but chinni dunno run until where liao. it was so funny seeing some ppl being saboed like hell. too bad we have to clean up the area like siao.

end course liao. i do miss life here compared to BMT. perhaps it's the ppl around. the cockster gang. haha. always talk cock and laugh together. i gonna miss them. esp the so cute aaron. and the pinkie i can 'suan siao' and of course mr FM933. miss singing with him.

yeah. back from camp again again. today is totally a crap day. got some service quality training. train us how to treat our patients well, how to communicate better with them, and most impt, how to win an arugment with our senior medics n WOs. really. the instructor, some outside guy, told us tat to win an argument, we have to find out the personality of the person and to talk sense into him. for the morning part, it was still ok. doing personality, the DISC thing, i am a C this time round. C for compliant. law by law person. then after lunch, it started to turn a bit crappy. only listening to 30 % of the stuff, the other 70 % is spent talking lame jokes with aaron, julian n elaine. self entertainment. too damm sian liao. saf waste money on us to go for this crappy course. not at once were we really thought how to serve our patients better. n nobody gets good service in army lah.

yest was more fun. transportation of casualty. learn how to use the stretcher and how to carry a casualty and doing lots of funny funny formation, like obstacle formation, contacted drill. whle carrying causalty and then contacted, i think the casualty poor thing loh. we have to fall on our side and then the stretcher would be like slamming onto the ground. then have to crawl with stretcher and surprisingly it is not xiong. but our shoulders are all aching. cause we have to carry the stretcher and do a modified SOC, then have to carry the stretcher with a dummy tat weighs abt 70 kg, walk abt 200 to 300m i guess to the low wall, clear low wall (with help of course, i can't clear alone for nuts sake), then cross a low beam and higher beam, crawl under a net and then walk back to the starting, go up and down a stairs and then it is not done yet. then have to do the drags. siao liao loh. shag after the soc, then have to do drag with heavy weight somemore. i partner with derek and both of us are abt the same weight. i was the causalty for the pistol drag and i had to sit on his legs, jia lat for him. then for neck drag, i was the medic and he the casualty and it was siao loh. my neck almost broke i guess. but for both drag, we help each other one lah, if not sure die. then he piggy back me. both of us are unable to carry each other using both arms, then for fireman lift, i was unable to lift him up. but he managed to lift me and walk back. pei fu! pei fu! derek, wo bai ni. now my shoulder are aching due to the stretcher carrying. though xiong, it was lots of fun!

yeah! get to spend an extra day home due to national day. dunno why SMM doesn't give us any off tmr. at least spare a thought for the instructors, where some of them had NDP cover duty today. tmr gonna be a bad day for them i guess, and it is gonna be a bad day for me too i think. test test and more tests coming up this week. but what they said is true. army test cannot fail one. but i shld at least know the basics, if not it is surely gone case.

an quick update on last week. cleared my pharmacology test. thought it was rather easy and last minute studies does help me secure a few points. then we had chemical defence. wearing the suit tat is freaking hot! plus the stupid mask tat makes even breathing laboured. wonder how one is going to fight in such a suit. we only had the suit on, not including SBO. luckily the day was raining and wearing the suit and doing all the drills wasn't tat tough. then on thu, we went to seletar camp for our confidence exercise. we had to go into this smoke chamber tat is filled up with tear gas. our grp was damm suay loh. while on the bus to the smoke chamber, a tonner broke down in front of us, blocking up the whole road, then the bus cannot go in. in the end, we had to walk all the way to the chamber, and my platoon had to carry 6 jerry cans. luckily there were quite a lot of us to take turns. then after wearing the suit and going into the chamber, we were made to do some exercise and then had to take out our mask and walk out of the chamber. the gas just made my eyes tears and my nose and throat feel hot!!! it is definitely a shitty feeling. but doing this chem defence is still an experience in itself.

and we had the AED, automatic external defibrillator, lesson on fri. it is the device that can shock someone if he suffer from a cardiac arrest. same thing, got test again, but the test is so lagi easy. they even 'revise' with you before the test. then the practical test. luckily i kena a very easy one and i cleared it one shot. some had to go 3 times loh.

have to bk in again tonite and then got fire piquet duty this sun. i wondered if i shld have accepted the offer to do today duty instead of sunday one. i just slept the whole day today. haizzz.
