Being back in the army this week was pretty hectic... We were literally everywhere due to the survey course 2007, be it at the training site at Teletubby Land for some blank firings, to many parts of Singapore putting signages and stuff.. But it was great to be back with the platoon of Lao Jiaos. It seemed like ages since we last meet and now we are finally cliquing once again. New words were created during my absences, such as "30 years" and "SWO" and "The Great Khali", all of these pertaining to our dear Tumbi. We also had lots of fun during the section fire movement. Although it required a lot of demonstrations, we made use of the opportunity, creating fun for ourselves and for the Xin Jiaos.

Our nights-out on Tuesday and Thursday was kinda eaten up due to the !#$% course, but we were compensated on Wednesday, and though it was just one day only, we decided what the heck, better than not having it at all. We had our dinner at Lucky and went for a little shopping. Yishan tried to educate me with the ways of fashion, but i guess i'm a really bad apprentice. His counterpart, Zara-Lai, on the other hand, was on the path of enlightenment, and had gotten himself a pair of skinny jeans in WoonderLand at Wheelock Place. I guess I did learn something after all, and that was selvage jeans. Basically, it is a higher-graded pair of jeans which is more durable and better quality due to the material and the seam stitching. There were many pairs being tested out, I would probably do the same to make sure that the $150 pair of jeans was the right choice. In the end, it was a simple tee at TopMan which had cost me $14. We ended our nights out with a dessert at NYDC before heading back to camp.

Next week for Survey Platoon seems to be a bummer as there would be live firing and 3 exercises on the same week. hopefully Tuesday would be a off-day for the whole Lao-Jiao Platoon~ Bowling anyone? :X
