Exercise Dwarf

Die. I think something's wrong with my Quicktime Player. Can't seem to watch ALL the videos recorded using our Konica Minolta. ALL the way back since 2004, when we first got the camera. Wah lao. Eh why why why. Tell me why. I really can't figure out what screwed up. =(

Kinda in a daze right now. Wasted most of the night (well besides dinner and window shopping at Jurong Point. By the way, the place isn't really good for buying clothes if you get what I mean. Especially with John Little closing down, there's not much left.) in front of the com, trying to remember what I'm supposed to do for tomorrow's Faith Factor and what's in store for the next few weeks to come.

Which reminds me. A lot of youths haven't passed up their forms and that's sorta creating a minor headache for camp admin. Basically because, due to accountability purposes, no completed consent forms = no coming for camp, even if they've indicated their enthusiastic interest in signing up for it. It just doesn't tally. But what's new. Young people nowadays like to do things at the last minute, so well, it's up to people like Marianne Lee and myself to chase people for the forms. Well it's not like we're trying to be naggy or anything, but even people like Roy need parental consent, so not only kids need to hand in their forms huh. On a more positive note, I'd be able to go for parts of the camp, for example, the whole of the first day and certain time slots for the other days. Yup, week 14 of the course is stay-out + off-in-lieu week. Shiokness.

Dwarf was okay. 6 deployments over two days. Very little sleep in between, but the training pace was relatively slower compared to the previous week's laying exercise. Probably due to the fact that we're now under unguided assessment by the instructors. ONE more exercise to go before all the intensive maintanence, cleaning and rehearsing for our graduation parade. Just ONE more major challenge in our way. Oh and of course, the Change of Command parade coming Monday. So many parade rehearsals just to send someone off. Some officers just disappoint when coming to drills and giving commands. I wonder why.

You know, I still get flashbacks sometimes. When I close my eyes to catch a nap. When the situation really seems hopeless and morale hits rock bottom. When we try so hard and still get branded as being useless and the "slowest". Yeah, I can still remember those times ever so clearly.
