All I got was a stupid receipt

The Silent First

Sunday ~ Received the notification sms around 1008hrs while still fishing with Uncle Zhou. Disturbed by the Army centre sms a few more times before the fishing ended. Read the papers & send some sms to nearby army friends (S & C) to meet before finally getting out the house at 1130hrs. Made a mistake not to drive in to camp coz I listened to instruction. A mistake that I will learn not to repeat for the next mob.

Taxi is amazingly hard to catch on Sunday morning even if you are at a taxi stand. Maybe its at BB that’s why. Only reached the camp at 1230hrs… but already saw others leaving the camp….

Apparently this silent mob was activated by our CO and not directly by Mindef, using NS men as guinea pigs for the new automated response system. Went in camp, got registered by 1250hrs and is allowed to return, unlike previous where every one has to wait for everybody to arrive. Grumbling about the waste of time and effort to get our stuffs ready made us hungry where we had some food at the canteen before taking a cab home.

Reached home 1345hrs.

Its good to catch up with my 2 friends, S & C. S is now at NIE. Complain of heavy school loads, i.e 2 assignments and 1 write-up for each subject and there are 9 of them. Worst then his Uni life. C has quitted his pharmaceutical sales job some months ago and is concentrating on creating his own trading cards for his business venture. Apparently he made enough money not to work for
at least 2 years. Hmm… pharmaceutical sales…
