Juz like any other typical sunday, @ home lazing arnd doin lil' house chores here and there (even though u noe its gonna b messy again ...) surf net n psp-ing (damn xmen game keeps hangin' every time .... Jimmy!! wherez dat call?!?!)

Got a call arnd noon and I thought who da heck wanna disturb me on a sunday. As usual when askin mon sibling who's e caller, his ans is juz ur typical alien gesture + dead silence
(NOTE: muz.find.reliable.receptionist.) for da nxt 2 hrs I kept on tinkin who'd call me.

Da answer came ringin' on my phone. Well2, if it isn't Mr I-had-an-accident-last-wk saleh. e chap got himself n his camp buddy MC-ed for a wk thnks to dat expressway mishap. Nw if u ask me who's in e wrong, I'd blame e taxi driver who keeps on e-braking on a rainy day during a traffic jam. Dats by left anyway. But on dat dae he didn't really stick to e 3-4 car length rule, so all of this was a recipe for disaster.

lucky for him, he did'nt "trade paint" wif e cab otherwise dis wld've been a diff episode.


So he asked me whether I cld accompany him to TTSH fo 'extend' his mc. chow keng. Dis e phone conversation:


*Saleh*: "Di, wanna follow me go TTSH?"
*me*: "For?"
*Saleh*: "go extend my MC la"
*me*: "ko nye luka masih sakit2 lagi??"
*Saleh*: "its healing ah, but it still pain wen I move my hands"
*me*: "u CAN walk rite?"
*Saleh*: "of course, I juz wan 1 mre wk..."
*me*: "tau nk keng je kau nie.."
*Saleh*: "eh, da sakit, pe nk buat??"
*me*: "hmmm..."


3:45pm. TTSH main lobby.

walked round e area trying to find e medical ctr. Mind u, dere's nt juz 1 med ctr there but I counted more den 4 or 5 Ctrs for special cases. Dammit wheres ur med ctr saleh?? Told me its @ e A&E. WTF?! dat place is onli for on-dat-dae emergencies onli!!
We waited for quite a while until his "accident" buddy came down looking for mc extension also.

Great. more ex casualties. go handle dem Hadi, its ur job aniwae. Asked e info counter where e med ctr was and den I realised it was sitting CONVENIENTLY beside an atm machine, STARBUCKS n kopitiam across e hall which e both of us went in for chicken rice earlier. Fuck u di, its juz 6ft in front of ya!!
Amazingly, we're e only customers arnd dat time. Good. less patients=more enjoyment time.

"Where's dat Med Ctr??"

after dats over saleh n me went on to PS to collect his phone. (was'nt damaged btw...amazing.)
Kinda lost our route arnd newton circus. member confident sey: "At newton circus i noe where to go oredi" Me: "beb, u juz missed scotts rd..." oopz. spoke too soon. ahakz.

Chicken crossing.

eventually, we found a connecting rd to scotts n made our wae to PS. There, he picked up his phone, went last-min shoppin 4 camp stuff n had to scoot off ASAP. Recruits. go figure.
Me on the other hand, left alone (again) wondering wat cld fill up e last 3 hrs of e wkend. So i made my wae to GV upstairs to see if dere's any gd shows arnd. da gang's watching 'alone' dis wed. cant wait 4 dat. most ppl are watching simpsons movie right abt nw. (biler aku nk tengok??) In e end, I caught e horror flick: Rise: Bloodhunter
Check it out...

Now, dis move was rated M18 coz of e language n x-rated scenes n sorts but when u've seen it, you're gonna b like "WOW. dat 9.50 was worth it after all man...." Trust me. Go see it. Yeouch.

e not-so-super sat episode ...

Boring.




Datz hw I'd describe e dae so far. Of course, if you plan it all out n e execution was picture perfect, it'll b more den juz a super dae rite??


and e dae goes like dis:


Had to wake up early 2dae coz I have CEPP @ 3rd div. Practically DRAGGED myself out of dreamland while outside e cool and calming sat morning breeze hypnotizes me to pull e covers ... waaaahhhhh buay tahan leh ....

STILL, gotta job to do ( 4 da love of e nation) got myself ready n dressed n outta e hse by 7 to yishun. Long trip as usual ...


Arrived @ 3rd div stn abt 5 mins b4 8:30. whew. made it juz in time. tot I was late for a moment. At e guardhse I told e guyz dat im conductin a lesson 2dae. Guess wat, NONE of dem knew e daes events.
Oh sure, thnks ah eh, u juz made my dae *grumblez*
and I had to wait while dey called e PAB guys. On e wae dey said (more wait) *haizz*

take.cam.out.n.shoot.

Den a wif a slight miracle, e senior oraganizer drove in. "arrh thnk god hez here!!" @ least Im nt alone. da PAB guys dropped in arnd 9:30. so much 4 being early, I told dem. but dats gonna b e least of my prblms.

Supposedly, e event was cancelled but e PSA folks sent out 10 of thier ppl to "juz show face onli" for e dae. 9:45 n all we get was dead silence. No calls, no nothin'. Called e guardhse to check if dere's any of e PSA visitors. Nothin. WTF.

After dat moment, everyone packed up n left. As 4 me I made my wae to BB to mit up wif yanto n e gang. @ least dey're doin SOMETHIN @ 4th div. gotta hand over my shoes to e guy. kasut dier kene curi kt office. toyol maner tah nk sangat ngan kasut dier. dah kemarut kot??
Turns out nobody wanna go out. (wld b fun watchin simpsons 2gether) Ratz. dere goes my plans.

reached home n all i cld tink of was ZzZZz. e short snooze cost me a 5 hrs. @ least im well rested.

went out to vivo wif e family in e evening (as usual jln2 mcm takde tempat lagik nak pegi)
Managed to catch e NDP preview firewerks display (yaaaY!!) but onli e fraction of e view. damn, y did'nt I make my wae down to esplanade??? cld hav a better view. n camwhor-ing as well!! :D

some sat. hmmm....

Startin' over....

Ok.

I seriously HOPE there'll b no more problems wif dis one. Recently trashed my Friendster blog a/c, simply coz I CANT VIEW MY POSTS!!!


so I'll juz stick to blogger.com then (slamat aku bukak a/c nie)


So much more reliable. And on wif e day....

SUMMARY:

1) Now in NS
2) Full-time Medical Personnel
3) Posted to external instructor


Pretty colourful isn't it?

nt quite e option I had in mind when dey read out e posting, but hey dis ain't burger king.
Funny how I gt picked out frm e crowd to join e "elite" bunch. Did'nt pen down my name either in e 1st place. Next thing y'noe you're an instructor teachin e public e do's n dont's during an emergency.

So far everything is on a smooth pace. Of course, wif ur seniors arnd u tend to 'rilek one corner' and LLW (look, listen, watch) while dey do a one-man show up front. hehez.

Won't be long b4 I run my own show. Solo act somemore. On e plus side, @ least I dun hav to be in camp all e time, wakakaka!!
