The Eagle Soars

Located at the heart of Lim Chu Kang, my heart was bumping non stop as Dad drove me nearer and nearer to the campsite.

First impression of the dead barrack:

-_-" DamN! I can't survive here! Is a deserted one room flat as compared to my condo at the "zoo".

Job Vocation(s) Recommended:

Chief ClerK: "Tay, HQ CSM want u to go S4 branch, but I'm holding u back."

ShaWn: "Sure, no problem, I'm with okay with any of ur arrangement, mdm. =)" (thanks ah! I heard he's f**ked up!)

Chief ClerK: "Good, u will be my Assistant Chief Clerk, when S1, DyS1 and I'm not around, S1 Branch will be under your charge." (Shit! What does my former camp's recommendation letter wrote?)

ShaWn: Sure Mdm, not a problem. =) (SaiKang lots and lots! Dead for sure! -_-")

Next, she gave me a pile of directives and instruction manuals to read! Trust me, is worst then Instrumention lectures back in poly. Later in the evening, after discussion with S1...

Chief ClerK: "Tay, I want u to be our R&D specialist instead. Cause u excused outfield."

ShaWn: SureZ ah! I'm fine with that. =) (Lucky ah, phew!... Shit! I hate the guy who will be teaching me!)

Let's see how things go...

Defination of a R&D specialist:

- In charge of the regiment and discipline of the camp.
- Escout / Collect SAF personnels to / from Detention Barrack (Army jail), police stations, etc
- Liaise with Disciplinary Officers during investigations and summary trial such as court cases.
- Worked hands in hands with SAFPU when sendinging the criminal to DB.
- In charge of urine regime and signing of extras of the men. (Rather relax, yah?! =) 11 more months to ORD...)

After my two days here, here's are some things I compared between the zoo (1S*R) and the eagle nest(4S*R):

The Bads

- 1's buildings are much better then here.
- 1's bunks are defintely cleaner, bunks here is like the 70's. -_-" I miss my bunk back there!
- There's only one stall in the canteen, and they don't sell hot coffee! I will be dead. Uncle, I miss u toO!
- Their HQCSM and S4 sucks! I miss my encik! That bald old man!
- I miss my kids back in the zoo... Mei, WeiSiong, LT Zheng, Cai, Yixia, QM branch guys, blah blah...

The Goods:

- I'm saving money by eating cookhouse! How u wanna me to eat in the canteen when the Auntie told me she got 3in1 instant coffee for me this morning!!!
- S1 is good, Chief Clerk is good too.
- I don't receive 21 calls everyday like back in the zoo.
- The despatch runners and storemen here don't have attidude problem(s).
- I got a chance to go outcamp(s) regulary - to pay Aloysius and PiangChin a visit every now and then! Haha, I mean I'm working with SAFPU... So when I sent my guys there to serve their terms I got to see Aloy and Ben who are MP there! Remember to la Kopi lah guys! My camp no coffee!
- I got a chance to book out everyday... At least for the time being... (Thou some of the S1 guys told me that this is the most busy and easy kanna extra vocation, we'll see...)
- Can meet up diff west siders now everyday after camp now!!! From Jun, GuoLiang, WeiHao to Hua, KG, Kris to Vincent and Eugene, and then to Aloy and Ben in SAFPU... Hahha

HaiZ, I miss the zoo... But I told MeiHua: "At least posted here, i'm not complaining as much as I did back in the zoo..." And she agreed with that... So I guess I dont know is it or bad or a good thing... Yet...

Shawn Tay - 11 more months ends it all...
