Night at RTC
went with
darren to Raffles Town Club yesterday to help out with BG Bernard's Farewell dinner. our trip there was really slow and the weather was hot and drowsy so i fell asleep. thats not supposed to happen cos
darren drives his car super fast, but what happened was we had to follow a military van which had this big fat 50KM/H sign pasted behind so we had no choice.
darren commented that he had never driven so slowly on the long empty stretch of road leading to camp hahas.
when we finally reached there, we helped unload the canisters of beer and helped move the stuff to the bar counter. then we receed the carpark since we were supposed to marshal there later that night. after that we were briefed on our duties and we headed off for lunch. we had to draw some money frm standard chartered too, and
darren sort of lost his way while driving there and we almost ended up at my home loh. home was like soooo close away ): then we headed back towards town and we bypassed nassim road, and
darren told us thats where the house of the hourglass chairman who came to our guardroom for reservist before.
we finally reached our destination and headed for lunch at fish n co. after that we drew money and bought lunch for the other ppl at RTC before we headed back. then we stoned for a while and i dozed off while sitting on the sofa. aft that i met a few of my frens at the event too. apparently they were from music n drama company and were going to peform later in the night. we then received our final briefing and were free to roam ard. we went to play at the arcade in RTC. it was quite fun getting excited over the games but the games there were very short n boring. ): so it was quite a waste of money.
aft the game we got into our positions for the marshalling. the first level of the carpark filled up pretty quickly and we had to direct people to fill up the second level. along the way some of the RTC club members winded their windows down and told us off, saying stuff like:
we paid for club membership, why don't we get level 1 parking lots? and they said it in this damn snobbish tone it sort of pissed us off alot. like whats the big issue. i mean its not like level 2 and 3 dont have lift access. they still get to take lift to whichever floor they want to.
after the marshalling we went out for dinner. went to great world city and that was srsly my 2nd time there. ate at some thai restaurant and i ordered curry soft shelled crabs since i love crabs so much and havent had crabs for a while. OMG the crabs rly tasted like crap HAHAHA. or mebbe i just cant appreciate thai cuisine but it srsly sucked and was very floury.
darren wondered if the crab was fake HAHA.
aft that we went back and i was offered some beer or wine but i turned down the offer. aft the event ended, we went to help out in marshalling the cars that were departing. we then went back up to the lobby. there were only a few officers left by then who were still guzzling beer non stop hahas. some were like visibly drunk loh. anw they finished up one last canister and we helped clean up some stores before we could say da4 gong1 gao4 cheng2. we were quite exhausted by then and had to head back to camp cos i had SOC the nxt morn. we also had to fetch 2 people back. it started to rain and it was quite nice to cruise along quiet streets in the middle of the night with light rain pattering on the windscreen.
ok. anw, one of the guys we were fetching was SUPER drunk and was spouting rubbish for a while before he conked out. when we reached back camp, that drunk guy could not be woken up even after shaking him veri hard. after much effort we finally managed to get him out of the car and his fren brought him back up to his bunk. thankfully he didnt vomit in the car or it would be so gross.
went back and quickly bathed and went to sleep. it was 1ish by then. i wanted to set the alarm to wake me up to draw arms for SOC the nxt day and to my horror, i discovered that someone had STOLEN my clock. omg. i cant believe people acherli steal clocks lah. haha. thkfully
darren offered to wake me up the nxt day and i got like 5hrs of sleep or so before waking up to draw arms today. skipped breakfast and just headed straight to get ready for SOC. performance was absymal again. its worrying, considering the fact that the test will be on friday. ):
