Welcome to Armour!

Finally, I managed to haul myself out of my driving course. My new camp is in Sungei Gedong, which is near Choa Chu Kang across Mandai cemetery. With a duffel bag in one hand, I found myself staring at a tank at the gates of the armour camp.


Found myself respite from the stressful driving lesson. Life as a man is so much simpler. Just do what you are told and you will be fine.


Rough idea of what my life entails: Its an 8 to 5 job, just that you stay and work in the same place! Moreover, teabreaks are thrown in as well as additional perks, from 9 to 930 and 3 to 330. Am allowed to return home after 530pm, just that I have to come back like Cinderalla. Hmm...should perhaps make use of this time to take up civilian driving license and other interesting subjects.


Finally received my black beret! Met Ginway in the cookhouse :D. At least one familiar face in this large camp. Sadly, both of us will be going to chiong in Australia in the next month.


Happened that I have 10 1/2 days of leave which I have to clear in the first two weeks of December :D. Which means I would be having a mini-holiday after that ticket to Wallaby....so blessed.
