Battalion Cohesion

Had battalion cohesion at Changi Haven. Some people in the SAF really have brains the size of peas. Makes you wonder sometimes whether the working place outside in general have similar bosses. Hoping not. Anyway, we were only allowed release from our camp at noon and told to reach the place in 2hrs time. Obviously, the planning team/upper management has never taken a train in a very long time. I was informed that we can reach Pasir Ris/Tampines from Choa Chu Kang in 45min by train. If you can do that, I will gladly take your train.

As usual, I was heavily ridden with a clinical sense of detachment/cynicism towards my unit. Made to rush like a mad dog from my camp to house, allowing myself only a grace period of 15min to check mail, bathe, settle down, etc.

Reached the place late, naturally. (since there is only 1 bus to my knowledge until now). Was baked in the sun for the whole afternoon playing team-building games that somehow involve blindfolds, bare bodies, balls and bamboo sticks. After a hard and long struggle, our team did not get last----so no need to BBQ for the blardy VIPs.

Stayed until 11, in which I manage to evade away together with a few comrades. Exhausting night. Spent most of my energy playing Magic, listening to a cockster boast about his clubbing/cherry-popping experiences. Highly amusing I must say. There was like 25 people crowding around him, with two even prostrating him as a CLUBBING GOD. (Note: which I highly doubt so--since he exaggerated like...13 at one go?! -.-''' A bit impossible there). Smelt smoke from charred meat and cigarettes.

Damn. SAF/Men should abolish this rite of making the birthday boys drink alcohol. Unfortunately, my friend is an August baby, so he had to endure a cup of hard liquor. His face turned redder in a short instant, with splitting headaches and all. Thankfully, he did not puke and does not drive. I am so grateful that I just ate cake in Taiwan with no stupid beer.

The battalion cohesion was actually better than I thought it would be. If there is one every month, I can expect another 1/2 * 2=1 extra day of off. Hehe *sadistic laughter*
