[reminising]

Somehow or rather,as I was almost bored to tears in my office. I began to think back abt my NS life. There was even a tinge of longing for it. I think I mst be nuts. But thinking back did bring back a smile.

Old stuff btw.

I did not enjoy being a newbie soldier there when pple there were oredi old birds. Life being a clerk was not as easy as one will think. There are always 2 sides of the story. After I took over the post of MT-Line clerk in SAFAB, things finally began to settle down.

What i enjoy most was going out on dispatch trips. Dispatch trips were often in the afternoon,together wif clerks from other departments. What I did was simply follow them as sometimes we go to the same places. I enjoy going to CMPB, some car service stations, like Chia Service, Jesson and Jabson(?), Indecco and this repair shop in Jurong. Sometimes the dispatch trips will be very long as there will be quite a no. of places. For me, I juz follow as I do not have so many places to go. If I am sititing at the back, its a excellent chance to sleep. HAHAHAHA.

Tokking abt sleeping, when my 2nd MTO just came in and overtook everything. Things were actually quite good and slack in my department. I rem there was a driver who was once SOL (stoppage of leave) due to an accident. He even brought his PS2 back to play in camp. PS2 in 2001 was a luxury. I rem my MTO and fellow drivers playing GT3 at the mechanic's office.

Behind the mechanics' office was some sort of store. It was also a place where my MTO,drivers and mechanics will take a nap there when it was rainy or not. Life was good man! My OC hardly disturbed us and other departments dared not try to be funny cos my MTO was on good terms with my camp 2IC.

Being one of the longest serving personnel there, I saw countless drivers ORD before me. As I was more familar with the "newer" drivers there, I remember fondly some names, Eric,Jim, Samuel Lim Say Beng, Daniel. These were some of the drivers who were on better terms with me. Later came some newer drivers with abit of attitude problems but nevertheless quite skilled. Of cos not to forget, the new MT Sergeant Staff Sarah. He was super garang when he came in and made quite alot of changes. Then later, he had some issues and he really slacked. Luckily, I was on quite quite good terms with him and I manage to get quite abit of off when he began to slack. He always like to say, " Kah Cheng wu sai boh?" ( Ur ass got shit?) haha.

On the day when I ORD. I almost could not believe i have spent my 21st, 22nd birthday, 3 Chinese New Years, 3 X Mas, 2 National Day there at that small little camp on top of Bukit Timah.
