3 days of my 17-days (13 excluding weekends) In-Camp Training (ICT) a.k.a. RESERVIST has just gone by in a blink of an eye. So far so good. Nothing major happen yet. Except that I got scolded on the first day for not having my hair cut. Damn.
Going back in that green No. 4 uniform feels weird and it brings back all the bad - and some good - memories. Same camp, same people, same food (which sucks! some things just won't change...) Training has been pretty slack - intro to this, intro to that, refresher lessons, breaks and more breaks=) Not what I would have expected though. Haha.. Just as I was hoping that the next 9 ICTs to come will be as slack, we were told that training will pick up slowly since it's the first ICT for most of us and future ICTs would be much "siong"... Damn. Oh, by the way, the Star Idol ("Ming Xing Ou Xiang") winner, Bryan Wong, was also back for ICT in my unit. He looks the same off-screen lor=p The only thing "special" about him is that he gets to keep his hair long (apparently, it is allowed for media personalities to keep their hair length as "maintenance of hairstyle is necessary in their profession" or something like that)! mailto:#@$%$$@@&(*^)^&%^$%How come life is so unfair huh?
Anyway, not counting the weekends, I would have 10 more days of training, of which I have 4 half-day offs to attend lessons (gosh, readings not done yet. paper not researched yet. Die liao la). Considering that I have had a half-day off on my first day of ICT due to some meet-up session at MOE, I am paid for 13 days when I am back for 10 1/2 days... Hee.. My bargaining skills that I had picked up in Beijing is definitely put to good use here=)
Speaking of the meet-up session at MOE, I was so "malu-ated" that I had hoped for a hole in the ground to bury my.. erm, stomach. I was seated beside these 2 girls from HCJC and we had to introduce ourselves and what-not. We chatted a little and the session began proper. The presenter started briefing us on our academic requirements. As the speaker paused between sentences, my stomach growled like mad. Not once but THRICE! I was sooo embarrassed that I pretended that it wasn't me and just kept looking forward. After the first-half of the session, I had to make a move first to go back home, get my stuff and report to camp. Just as I bade farewell to the 2 girls beside me, one of them said to me, "Better get something to eat hor." Wai lau eh. So malu-ating sia.
Kena scolding for long hair. "Malu-ated" in front of strangers. Now I have one more to make it a TURKEY STRIKE.
This week is "I'm sooo broke" week for me. Just this Wednesday alone, I had spent about 50 bucks on cab, and probably close to 100 bucks on cab this week alone! Here's where my hard-earned money go to:
Mon - Cab from City Hall to Bishan for tuition Wed - Took cab from MOE (Buona Vista) back home (East) + home to camp + home to tampines for haircut + Tampines to Tanjong Pagar ~ $50 or more Thurs - Cab from home to camp (cos I woke up late!!!) Fri - Took cab from Wisma Atria back home after Germany vs Argentina match
Now I know why giving tuition just doesn't make my bank account any richer=( Sigh~
Monday's IPPT. Definitely don't look forward to it. Any MC lobang, anyone?
