You know what? There are times where my life is so boring and I have nothing to blog about. There are also times where my brain juice starts to flow and I have many many things to say. Today, the juice is working!
WORST POP EVER!
Seriously, I don't think my pop could get any worst. We woke up at 3am Friday morning for area inspection. I practically jumped off my bed because I thought I was late. I feel like i didn't sleep at all and my head is light and floating..
Next we embarked on our 24km road march. This 24km RM wasn't that bad because I was packed with food. On top of that I threw away many packs of item AND OC allowed music after 16km. Thanks Joseph for the speaker and ipod (:
Here comes the best part. 10 minutes after we completed our 24km RM, it started to pour, so we had to grab our FBO and run another 500m to some shelter. We waited there drenched and cold until 1545hrs before they confirmed that it will be wet weather programme. Wet weather programme means that the parade that we spent over 15 hours preparing, all our effort washed away by the rain. Not that it matters to me but I've got friends who were really excited to have their mum put on their caps for them. Anyway, we waited for about 45minutes for the truck to come and pick us up but it never arrived so we had to run another 500m to the parade square. Thats 1630hrs when we reached. Oh, and just FYI the parade is suppose to start at 1600hrs.
At the parade square, we found out form up area filled with parents. Sigh.. in the end they just placed my whole company behind every company. Oh, for other companies there were also some shuffle of their positions so all the parents couldn't find their own son. Superb planning.
So the wet weather parade lasted about 15 minutes and we did the BMTC RAWR, threw out jocky caps and went home. Effectively, all parents wasted at least 2 hour travelling just to wait another hour for the 15minute parade, than queue another hour for the ferry and another hour of travelling home. Most memorable POP.

Saturday, the day after POP, I went to USS with clarence and his family. It was good fun with loads of shows, photos, rides and food. I do feel a little guilty for this whole trip since clarence's family paid everything for me and even offered to give me money to spend! Here are some photos they bought for me:
You can see a close up of my epic scared face while im on one of the rides:
From Left the Right: Me, Clarence, Clarence's 2 brothers Derrick and Colin. Front is his Mum and Dad (:
Alright, got to go for breakfast now.
RanDOM: Some day is just a nicer way of saying never.
Thinking on the way back, I really do hope you'll be able to change things. Even though just a little, I pray that at least you'll be able to throw a lot of starfish back into the ocean and make their lives - not just more bearable - but more meaningful. NS has truly passed being merely a military boot camp. With more people like you, it would change lives - if not even more.
