Back to Bedok

It's been a couple of weeks since I last blogged and I'm going to be on a week-long leave. Heh.. It's a welcomed break. But I'm left to worry if I'll have enough during December to clear, cos I'm going away to Aussie in Oct. Anyway, Aussie trip promises to be fun, and I really hope Buddy can join!!

Erm, course at Nee Soon camp has ended and it's back to Bedok Camp. Hell. And as if we needed a reminder, the first thing happened was sorta a bad news and just proves to us how hellish it is back in my unit. As I said, we're supposed to be on block leave this week so when we reached Bedok Camp on Friday evening.. We prepared to book out immediately and go enjoy our week away from anything Army. The stage was set, my platoon fall in in their civilian attire, all raring to go, when my PC announced that there was to be Remedial Training for those who failed SOC, basically my whole platoon didn't make it. So it meant they had to book in that particular night again! You could see the mood changed immediately.. Even if I needn't go back, I still felt the pain and anguish, for my men.. Tried to ask my PC to ask for special 'discount' from OC, that our platoon be excused. But to no avail. It was until 5 or 10 minutes later when I think even my PC couldn't take the mood that he decided to ask the Conducting Officer. -.-" Luckily, he allowed my platoon to skip RT the next day! Really a relief. But by then, one guy had already cried (haha, this was funny) and left all others in a bad mood to enjoy the Friday night. Sigh.

Can feel the joy of leading my men. They're really quite clueless at times that you feel like slapping them but they're clueless in the innocent way. So u feel like laughing when they ask u some questions. hehe.. Anyway, felt happy quite happy that day over an incident. One of my guys sorta have relationship problems. The day before while waiting for exercise to commence, PC and I were talking cock to him when he revealed that he was having this problem la.. His gf was not answering his call and basically just MIA, and most probably with another guy. Like how sad la. So the next day, as we were working on some practical stuffs, this guy just said, "Eh Sergeant, she called me last night leh..". Well, the rest of the conversation is irrelavent here. But I felt joy that he was going to share something with me. Really.. This is cool.. Heh..
