Phones got problems...

Yesterday in camp, my phone's keypad suddenly went dead... All the buttons when press got no response and if there's a call u can only see the phone ringing but no way to answer it... sweat... then my other phone think the SIM card reader got problem and even when there's SIM card in it, it still says 'Insert SIM card'... so my phone line was down for 1 day...

today just send the 6610 to repair... may cost about $40-80... the other one heard may cost $100+ so not repairing that yet... at that cost like buy a new one without plan better... cos my plan can only upgrade in Dec... now i only have a sony ericsson camera phone and a very old N3315... might have to use the 3315 in camp since cannot use camera phone...

Gen12ii Thanksgiving 2006

yesterday was the gen12ii thanksgiving... it's the 1st time that it's held on monday cos for the past 3 yrs was on sat... then also 1st time at covenant pres church, usually at foochow methodist church... there's quite a number of 'incidents' which made the event more memorable... haha...
firstly, when we are going there, the North-east line has already broken down... it's down since 12.57pm but dunno abt it cos nv update the news... so we go bugis to change bus as we think it might be very messy at dhoby ghaut...

then at the church during the worship, suddenly the PA system power blackout... so the projector and sound system all turn off and the place turn quiet... but we continue to sing and worship the god without using the mics... still can hear.. thank god... it took more than 15 mins to get it working again... also met one of my tengah airbase sergeant from another shift there... quite suprise...

after the thanksgiving, we decided to go for supper as some of us were hungry... we went to the zuijiao food centre at little india... as it's late most of the shop already close... there's 1 prata shop still open but when we want to buy, all the special flavours one are all sold out, only left the plain one... so no choice but to eat that... but it's so hard and diff to tear it with fork and spoon... sianz... confirm it's left over stock...

when we're going home after dinner, we thought the train is working already but some train moving on the 'wrong' side of the platform... then in the train after reaching dhoby ghaut it went back to little india... which means still not working properly... so we take a bus as we do not want to spend more time waiting in case got more prob... waste 70 cents... bus is ok cos i using bus concession... also thank god for the bus as i do not have to wait for all my 3 buses home... all come immediately when i reach the bus stop... 1 is even more thankful cos the 2nd bus was actually infront but after a while the 1st bus overtake it and thus allows us to transfer to the 2nd bus at the next stop... thank god... then at night not much ppl so move quite fast... take only 1 hr to reach home... less than what i expect but still is 0015h... what a day...

GPMG Range duty

last thurs was suppose to be our dismount day, but becos the ASLC course ppl are having the gpmg range, we had to go back to guard the place...

it's very sian, cos we have to go back on the off day and also the place is quite deserted... worse thing is that only combat ration is provided as they're not bringing the fresh ration... there also got alot of mosquito... we stay at the place from 7.30am to 1am the next day! actually is suppose to be until 2359h but cos the vehicle broke down so was delayed...

we only reach back camp at about 2am... the next day we still got duty but luckily those who went the day before get those more relax one...

this morning heard that tmr's 1 day mount is cancelled becos got GOH help out... so now we got 3 days off after working for 3 days... but i don't think it is the off in lieu for last thurs cos those who did not went on thurs also get the off... hopefully will have another day off...
also today the Singapore flag is flown at half-mast for our late minister Mr Lim Kim San... never really heard abt this person b4 cos we were still not born yet... Same as Rajaratnam, they were the founding fathers of singapore and 1st generation ministers... this is the 2nd time this year an ex-minister and founding father has passed away...

Finally, our delta shift at Tengah have a sat and sun off... which means i can finally go to my church's full youth service tmr without taking leave...
