Presence of AbsenceOkay...
DAY 2Hmm...
And then I tested it by putting the 2nd alarm to 10:37, then it rang. So I was satisfied.
At 10.40, the logistics CLT(i mentioned this alrd ^^) came in and asked if we wanted to give up our blankets, I did willingly thinking it was as hot as Amoy Quee where I went for Camp Feast last year. (= Well looks like I thought wrong.
So I went to sleep anyway.
And I woke up. Checked my watch.
It was 2:00a.m. ><
*EDIT: Blogger made me lose my stupid post, so I'll try to recount with the 5min I have left before I got to bed. (=*
My feet were frozen. Apparently the non-airconditioned room kinda liked my warm feet and decided they should be made cold.
No worry anyway, I decided to try and defrost my legs. So I curled up like a hedgehog and lay there. Then I fell asleep.
And I woke up. Checked my watch.
It was 3:10a.m.
Rinsed and repeated, went to sleep again.
And I woke up. Checked my watch.
It was 4:07 a.m.
Rinse and repeat yet again, fell asleep yet again.
And I woke up. Checked my watch.
It was 5:15 a.m.
Rinsed and repeated, tried to fall asleep but 5min later, the alarm blared in my face. Then I realised; "Oh, it's time to wake up. ><"
So I shouted for the whole bunk to wake up, lazy buggers. Everyone just stayed put in their bed. Well great, so there goes my stupid job as the bunk-waker, or whatever you'd like to call it. I got my toothbrush and walked to the toilet. Washed up and went back to bunk. It was 5:40. Now I see why people wanted to sleep more.
So I woke them up anyway, then suddenly the whole room burst into panic. People grabbing shoes and shirts and whatnot. ^^ At least I woke them up on time.
At 6 we fell in at company line to do PT. After 1 hour we finished PT, erhhh. =.= Run was abit short but I guess it did the job.
Then we had breakfast, some ugly mess of beehoon-in-a-box. You open the lid and pop! Out springs 40g of beehoon. =.= Well not really, but I did have a hard time eating it. =X
Today's programme was real boring actually. Kind of like just taking us around and making us view well, p_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _. And I guess you should know the reason why I didn't put in the whole word. (=
So we went for various visits here and there, had a talk or 2. After lunch, now erh...oh yeah. After lunch we went to the weapons institute to look at some of the, well, WEAPONS. =.=
Of course, I'm not going to further elaborate. Military secrets+Public blog=? You get the picture. ^^
But it was quite fun, we got to know well, how much the weapon costs and other stuff. You have to admire the fact that one weapon strap costs 70euro. My bagstrap is made out of almost the same material, same length, and the whole thing plus bag didn't cost me 30 bucks. =D
And after all that, we marched back, shouting the same stuff, making the company building echo again. o.o Whilst marching I saw that the OC looked pretty pissed. Dunno why. When we got back however, we knew why.
After lunch we had to clean up our bunks and stuff, turns out some people didn't and just sat on their bed, and other stuff was not cleaned etc. etc. etc.
So then the OC started scolding us and stuff, but it was okay I guess. After all, if you sleep while you're supposed to be cleaning up, you deserve the scolding. ^^
So we went back to re-clean. I wanted to clean the toilet but then some dear hyper fellow cadets were already inside swearing and nearly throwing water on me, so I backed out of there and started to clean windows with Isaac. Then the OC walked in and we didn't even know.
So far in every camp or whatsoever I've been in, the middle timeframe of it is always the trouble-occurring part. I guess this one's no different.
Isaac realised the OC was inside suddenly and so we chiong in and shout "room". Too late, we get scolded again cause' no one realised we were supposed to say "room" and we made the OC wait for 20secs. =.= Well gj, Isaac is screwed and perhaps the whole bunk. (=
So after that, we go down for dinner and had sort of another talk cock session with our PC. Then we broke for supper and then bed.
So it was the same procedure;
1) Go to toilet.
2) Wait with the sensor-operated;continuously-turning-off lights and hearing everyone shouting "oei".
3) Listen to people sing. =.=
4) Shower.
5) Shout "oei" when the lights go off.
6) Finish showering.
7) Revise more for the test on day 3.
8) Set alarm.
9) Sleep.
But this time I slept the other way around so my feet had most protection from the fan. In times where one is stupid to give his blanket to the CLT, he must improvise. Yeah I know you might ask why I didn't use some shirt or a towel. I didn't know why either, but at least the method worked for me. ^^
And I shall end day 2 here, I'll talk more tmr. But for today, this is all I have. Time to go to sleep, roti prata tmr! =D
absence makes me dream of your presence;
because that was the way it was meant to be.
