MEDIC!!
for some unknown reason, i got posted to be a
combat medic. really have no idea why. okay so i just passed my ippt. maybe not good enough to be a commander, but why a medic. came as a shock to me. but getting used to it by the minute.
combat medic...if i'm not wrong, those guys carry like the heaviest and most bulky equipment to the field. a stretcher(foldable but still...), first aid pack, portable defibrillator(those things you use to jump start dead hearts), extra water bottles. and not to mention, all that with webbing and rifle too. i have no idea how i'm gonna do that. but then i guess what my friend says is also true. i'll be the fittest when i ORD. hopefully. if not become medic carry shit for fun.
the stretcher will look like this.
a portable defibrillator. hopefully mine will be like this. looks small and good enough to lug around.
and somehow the first aid packs all look like extremely big and field pack-like bags which i will not enjoy carrying with a stretcher.
oh boy.

okay so i went thru the 3rd week of PTP. they start to tekan us ready. first day of training this week i kena pump ready for not wearing my helmet properly when i went down to ground level. had to do pumping with my SBO and helmet. half-way thru 2LT Choo see i cannot make it he say you're pathetic and ask me to recover and go join my platoon. shit ah. oh yah, and with the dummy rifle also.
we got our rifles on wednesday. cool. but no shooting yet. we just learn to strip and assemble then maintenance. sial ah RX lost his dummy rifle. never lock his cupboard when he went toilet at night and the commanders walking around see they take. he kena guard duty. lucky, if real rifle kena taken he surely get charged worse. then got that time about the spent round casings. damn stupid ah. oh and no moving in the file!! you, shift your eyes down 5!! wah...

prom just ended
yesterday night was YJC's Prom 2005. it was supposed to be a happy night and well i guess it was. apart from the fact that we couldn't sit the way we wanted because they had halal and non-halal tables. mine was table 17. an all malay guy table. we made the most noise i guess. all in the name of fun. very nice. and there were 2 LIVE bands!
the girls were, let's just say, odd. some were looking very nice as compared to them being in uniform. some just couldn't make it work for themselves. mostly wore black dresses. BLACK. why black? i just don't get it. like as if there's no other colour. only the malay and indian girls had a majority wearing colours other than black. seeing the malay girls mostly wearing something not of the standard black dress thing, we at the all malay guys table felt like we were at some wedding. anybody want to propose? actually there was one. haha...it was the performer. that J1 malay rocker guy...not really sure what's his name. during one of his songs he went all the way to the back to give this girl flowers. and spent sometime there too. before he went back up front to continue singing. and as usual the malays at the back made a ruckus seeing what was happening. cool man.
the guys looked normal compared to what we were seeing from the girls. same looking guys just that we weren't wearing our uniforms. no one really stood out from the crowd. unless you count the white suit guy. maybe he did. not very common white suits. then there was trenchcoat man. haha...aka russian mafia given his size and attire. that was cool. he could have hidden an AK-47 in that thing.
the food for my table was just right. not too bad at all. slightly above wedding food quality. however the main course wasn't served properly if you asked me. they gave us the dishes but not spoon or ladle to use so we can put it on our plates. we ended up using our original spoons used before to take it. the guys didn't seem to care. and desserts. fruits on a big plate. before the waiters could put the forks and small plates on the table, we started eating with our hands already. slow lah the service. when we saw they gave utensils we stopped and used the forks pretending nothing happened.
after food they had the usual prom king & queen stuff and then the dance. left a bit earlier with Zhi Hao after he pestered me so much and didn't really go to the dance floor to check the scene out. heard from the rocker J1 that the dance floor was rather boring. lame songs it seems. maybe he wanted more of the slow songs for couple dances and not mass jam n hop style. and also the floor was freaking small. not exactly a dance floor if you ask me. sound system not good also. maybe because the council had no funds to go get a decent sound system for the prom. they used the ball room's speakers which were like ceiling PA speakers you find in shopping centers. lame shit man.
i prefer my anderson sec prom to this. the atmosphere was better. then again, in ASS we sat with the class and there were more ppl jumping around with BIG speakers.
great timing...
the time after the 'A's has really been an odd one indeed. 2 years in JC life and i've never experienced what i'm dealing with now. emotionally challenging you could say. can't really describe it. sense of loss of my school life, my current civilian life, friends...reforging ties which i can't really hope to keep seeing where my life is taking me to now. been dreaming a lot lately too. confused perhaps. of what? i'm not sure. maybe kristina's right in saying i think too much. but i myself don't know what i'm really thinking so much about.
and yesterday, i just had a very long "conversation" with kristina on MSN. man, last time we "talked" was exactly 2 months ago. that was about the time the prelims just ended. we were consoling each other due to our bad prelim performance. and now i'm starting to feel rather longing to chat with her again. too bad not online. so i write it in my blog. what's happening to me? of all times. this is not gonna make it easier to go to tekong. leaving my games is easy, but leaving this is not exactly the same. guess i'll get over it. who would've thought i could be so emotional. i don't know what's happening really. like i said before, feeling a bit lost these few days. and i think i just found a source to help me forget about my troubles. whatever they may be. just like talking to a shrink. actually feel bad laying all of my crap on her. can't believe i'm blogging about this. it's also amazing that we could keep our friendship even after i left AJC. never really thought of that before. nice...

PROM ATTIRE
finally got my stuff ready. suit and long sleeves with a tie which hasn't been untied since two years ago when it was first used. the suit contrary to popular choice isn't blue or black. something of a grey to yellow nature. and a BLACK shirt. yellow tie of course. finally. will be worn in a weeks time. then one more week going TEKONG. must i always remind myself? sheesh...
a portable defibrillator. hopefully mine will be like this. looks small and good enough to lug around.
