So the haircut turns out to be just fine. Attempted to make small talk with the hairstylist, Doris. Quite an okay trim. Just that my brother said its quite wasted for a haircut at a saloon. Like i have any choice. My hair was quite short to begin with, just that its was very very out of shape. Like a hairy mushroom sprouting hair in all directions. I think it sounds so wrong.
Anyway, Had CO parade this morning. I woke up at 0500. Missed the 0540 train so took the 0550 one and guess what, i reached camp at 0635. Wow! Mong played me out by taking MC so i wore number 3. Camouflaged myself between the rest of the PES E number 3 wearers. The parade was kind of short and sweet. Afterwhich CO gathered everyone for a small "informal talk". He told us a fair bit of good news. Like GSMB won the Minister for Defence Award (Commendation) again and that the unit managed to top the Best Logistic Unit CompetitioN(BLUC), hence becoming the best log unit. Duh. If the previous time he mentioned that GSMB is the biggest battalion in the Army, today he said that with a strength of 800 plus GSMB is one of the biggest units in the SAF, if not, the Army. And when he said that, i was imagining ppl like Kenny, Emily, Mong, Jeff buried in heaps of paperwork.
Oh my aircon broke down today. And for the first time since half a year, our CO actually walked into our room and asked why we didnt switch on the lights. Then i said its too glaring. then he asked if im sure. Then i said yes. Then he noticed that the aircon was down. Then he asked if its the same compressor as his PA's. Mannn. I shld have said that its been happening ever since i came to the unit.
The aircon is totally UNRELIABLE. It can be freezing cold one minute, and sweltering hot with heat trapped in the so called oven called NSMen Section. Where we get hotter due to the numerous cases(not problems) that surface every single day.
Im planning to go on a 1 mth trip to Europe after i ORD. Anyone game? You can help ridza by financial means too.
