And so passed 6 weeks of not so tough training..though rather intellectually taxing...I am now a trained signal operator who specialises in drawing stores from the different storerooms...Indeed, there has never been an occation where stores were drawn without me around. I believe I am highly talented to be a storeman due to that exposure. However, I am not a storeman, to my dismay.

Alright, what can I say about the course. Basically my entire aim was to lie low key and basically float through the course. I almost succeeded... till sgt leon did the unthinkable! He chose me, when I totally don't want to, to be the platoon I/C. Now my shoutpost-readers will know that this ain't the first time I am the I/c (In charge) due to my naturally pleasing-face and my extreme bad luck. However, I took it in my stride... Prior to that, when my bad-luck afflicted name was called out, I was darn worried about the choice of the course I/C. As stated above, my plan was to be low key and as such, I need a siao-on course I/C in order to achieve that. Thank goodness it was Lee Wen Qin. Seriously, thank Shiva it wasn't LRJ. (THANK YOU!).

So the journey as the platoon I/c was the only challenging thing I did. Basically, some individuals are harder to get moving than most. Really, inertia is not proportional to weight. Some people are airy looking, but has such laziness-induced mass that I need to do a research on it to fully understand.

So everything was great, and my course i/c is very..well... useful. HAHA! See my highly lazy ass prevents me from doing anything more than the minimal. So everything else has to be done by my course i/c. Who, I think, did a comandable job. So a pad on your shoulders. Seriously, thank goodness it wasn't LRJ.

I am quite sure that I've offended at least a few during my i/c term. Maybe not so much of offending then, rather, annoyance. I knw I nag a lot bunk5, but see, I told you it would end soon! haha.

So I thank Shiva for a very dynamic and (well...) interesting platoon. And thank You for strength and guidance. I believe I did not work my ass off and so, naturally, best trainee wasn't me. Have no complains as I do think Bensoh deserves it academically.

And I am proud to be a signaller!

PS: Special thanks to WO jude s.v. Truely impactful, truely entertaining and a learning lesson no doubt.
Sgt Leon, for his ever-readiness to help. And I hope I've been slightly useful to you as a slave, at least during the exercise and the last 2 weeks. I do hope I have proven a point, capability and height are indeed inversely proportionate!
LT lim and Sgt lim, your time and effort is greatly appreciated. Though I am rather vocal and very demanding of comdrs, I thank sgt lim for taking my words in his stride and trying to adjust to the learning styles of the platoon. Lt lim, on the other hand, our short contact was pretty smooth... I do wish you both luck.

And to the elite platoon,
Thank you. Thank you for moving (though slowly) when asked to. And thank you for falling in when I ask you guys too. Though it would be best if you guys fall in when wen qin ask u guys to too, right wen qin. haha.

Bunk 1, appreciation much much. Thanks for the bunk cleaning effort and being truely a bunk-above-all-others. Sorry but in every elite platoon there has to be an elite bunk.
Thank you again.

Make love, lots of it, and not war.
