Guards Convert?

Supposed to be confined this weekend with chao Recruits. But it was decided that Support Company should not take recruits cos we'll conduct the next Guards Conversion Course in June.. Hmm, Friday night a bunch of Recruits still did come over to Support. They are re-coursee whom the CO decided should not be mixed with freshies. So we'll still run a platoon of BMT. Diao. But luckily I'm not directly involved. Phew.. But I think these people sure do alot of cock things for you to f*** them one. Haha... Already heard got pple come in don't want to cut his hair and all this. Wad the hell, re-coursee big F*** ah...

Anyway, after a night of splendid football when my Man U bulldozed a hapless Roma 7-1, it was back to camp to do sai kang to welcome those bloody recruits on Friday. My 3 other Engineer friends and I in-charge of tying the bloody banners again. Sian.. Tempers nearly flew, seriously. It was lucky I was not there to witness those provocative scenes, if not even God can't save my ass from being charged.

It looks a simple job tying banners to lamp post. But it's tedious. The whole bloody day we were doing it, consistent phone calls from Platoon Sgt checking on our progress, and everytime the progress was reported, it was met with sarcasm that we were doing very slow. "Why so slow? Tie banners very easy one wad, why take so long?" Sgt, if it was that easy, please help us do la, instead of MIA-ing the whole day and then cameo appearance awhile say some more shitty things to us then F.O again. Anyway, it's really damn scary, the banners have to be damn high up and we were using a freaking thin ladder that is super unstable cos we only could lean it against the sshaky lamp post.. Kudos to Jonathan for making all the banners go up.

The even more bitchy part came from my CSM. It was around lunchtime and we took turns to go for lunch. And there was a thunderstorm brewing, skies damn dark. Lightning flashed and thunder roaring every half minute or so.. I went for lunch and heard this from my friends after I went back to work.. CSM came, and asked if we could finish the job by 1345hrs. It was about 1300 then. My friend replied, "Encik, impossible ah, we still have quite a few to go." Encik reiterated his point that he wants the job done by the deadline. My other friend said, "Encik, but now CAT 1 (meaning lightning) cannot do." Encik still insisted he wants it by 1345. I do not dare to quote him for fear of mis-quoting cos I wasn't there. FUCK!!! (Notice I don't censor anymore) It's a frigging CAT 1!! You mean your bloody banners are more important than our lives?! Not to mention one life, it's a good handful of us down there.. Did you even use your brain?! or heart?? I mean it's just totally insane! It's not even a case of working in an area without shelter. We had to climb the bloody ladder! If we had done that it'd be a case of live human 避雷针.. Right?! Damn dulan. If I were there, I think I'd have gone ballistic.

My friends lan lan, had to go and do. Until our S3 drove past. He immediately asked us to stop and called CO to delay his vetting.. Phew.. Luckily, common sense prevailed. And S3 is a Major, so Encik LAN LAN! (Though he's already disappeared into thin air after putting our lives on the balance.)

Anyway, the title. Guards Conversion Course. Sian. I seriously wonder if I can go for the course, not because of other thing, but my ankle. It's a tough course. Si bei jia lat one.. Kenna whacked the daylight out of you. I'm relishing to challenge myself to see if I can earn the khaki beret. It'd be immensely satisfying if I were to do it. However, my ankle that I rely on to stand, now stands in my way of going through the course. I'm walking perfectly fine, but I just know things aren't right in my ankle yet. The fear was further re-confirmed yesterday, when I did a simple thing, getting up from a proning position to answer a call at home. My ankle felt an instant pain, the part where it hurt the most during the injury. Sigh............ We'll see what the specialist say on Wednesday, though he most probably sending me for a scan only..

*sigh*
