I failed range. Horrible experience with the SAR 21. First my weapon which was number 99 had lots of IAs and when I finally decided to change my weapon, I could not aim with the weapon as my hands just could not help but shake violently. Horrible horrible experience. To make matters worst, I suffered a serious bad back pain mid-way through my night shoot. One positive experience though was how obliging the safety officers were and of course how patient they were. I think no one who went for range that day could beat my score. 6 hits out of 28 targets. It's a no brainer why I am a signaller and not a rifle man.
I had my dental appointment today. The dental nurses are quite sweet. They asked me 'How's school?' Ate at Carl's Junior later. I actually had to ask the dental nurse (the one who said 'How's school', the direction to Carl's Junior). I knew that there was one near Raffles place, but just didn't know where it was. I walked from my dental clinic which was near Tanjong Pagar MRT station to Raffles Place MRT station and I actually managed to find it. I managed to finish up the double cheese burger and everything else that came with the combo. I felt very full though. I like the stars on the packaging of the criss cut fries. It's pretty adorable and cute.
Had a fever when I came home. Actually I have been feeling warm recently. My temperature was hovering at 37.5 degree Celsius. Still I had to go out and settle my dinner. Not much of a choice I guess.
Watched Final Destination 3 with a friend at Plaza Singapura. A very morbid show with little content. I want to watch Munich though. It seems intriguing and thought-provoking.
Heard from Prem that I may not be able to disrupt for my studies. According to Mindef's directive, a soldier who enlisted between December to January 2005 must serve at least 24 months before he is allowed disruption. However, I am a 1 year 10 month soldier, meaning to say I only serve 22 months. The numbers simply do not tally. I was advised by my dentist to work my way around my MP since, well, the election is drawing near and my constituency is one of the hot spots for this year's GE. However, let's follow the chain of command, as what my OC says who naturally is very concerned of his 1st of July. I think let's try sitting down with my commanders one of these days and work out the best solution especially since I ain't the only one affected by this directive. Hmm... I think it's time to pray about this...
till later----
