~I AM BACK~



waha. ok actually i came back friday evening. But i wasn exactly free of ICT yet. Had to go for some mobilisation on sat.

ICT was NOT what i expected it to be. I thought at least for the first ICT they will just leave us alone in the bunks to erhhh gel and build bonds with one another. hahaha.
Turns out we've to go outfield for training right from the start of the 10 year cycle.

Although it wasn all chalet and resort, it was still great to see all the familiar faces. Faces that were "shagged" and tired when my own was "shagged" and tired during my 2 yrs in National Slavery.

Some of my friends were already working in the different sectors. Most of us are still studying. Kinda cool to hear from all those who are working and find out the details about certain things you never knew.

Quite funny also, cos i saw my junior from GESS NCC there. He was an officer who just got posted to the side that trains reservist ppl. Haha. My cousin is in the unit i was 2 yrs back. But i didn go back so didn get to see him. heh.

Hopefully i'll be able to join these guys throughtout my 10 cycles of reservist. (Theres a chance to get posted to some other unknown unit if one defers)

Back to work tml...

~Goodbye Normal Comfy World~



RESERVIST. Nuff said.

Just incase it wasn enough, let me expound. Going back for reservist for a week or so. Ends on sat officially. Starts tml. ~_~ have to lug all that baggage back to that ulufied shithole again. REEEAALLLY feel like just taking a cab all the way there from my place. urg. but its gonna be so expensive! rah.

so i've been working for the past couple of weeks. So admin job from parkway again but this time im under people/human resource. Shuffling between gleneagles hospital and this office building at bendemeer road. The pay sucks, 6.50/hr but at that point in time 6.50/hr presented itself as better than 0/hr. To add salt to the wounds im processing health screener's timesheets which are at rates of 8.50/10/12 bucks per hr depending on shifts. like wow. seriously can earn big bucks with that job.

on the plus side i've made a few friends from both sides of the camp. Talking to my friends about random stuff gives me something to look forward to amongst the menial and boring tasks like filing and data entry.

so i've been waking up around 6.45 everyday. One of the plus sides of having a job. It helps keep your sleeping schedule in check. Been running on almost every other day either before i go to work or after i get back from work. Should be able to pass IPPT but don't think i can silver it =x

Nothing much to say already. OH YA. if you guys ever go to bugis/suntec area. Go look for this icescream shop called tom's palette. Its at shaw towers. The building between suntec and bugis junction. Its got some REALLY GOOD icescream. Try their salted caramel cheesecake. Its one of my favourites. Dont go on sundays though, cos their closed.

Thats it. Be back in 1 week's time.
