Back from a 2 week hot and "tough" ICT
Didn't start off too well..
Was told to cut and dye my hair, despite already going for a haircut and also dyed before going in..
Apparently the dye wasn't black enough..
And the RSM was not convinced I dyed it..
He is called Ben Wong by the way..
He is very strict..and stern..and soon we all gave him the nickname Ben 10..
I later learnt from my ex-manager that another reservist unit also called him Ben 10..
Hilarious..
He gave us a briefing on the 1st day..
Speaking about cars which are parked in illegal areas and will be cramped (clamped)..
Keeping the bunks crean (clean)..
Really gave us a laugh with his pronunciation..
He also did a spot check on camera phones / laptops etc on the 1st day..caught quite a lot of people (although I managed to escape)
Think he met his quota so he did not do any more inspections for the rest of the ICT..phew..
Anyway..it turned out to be a slack ICT..
I laughed it off when Shichang told me he heard this ICT will be standby in bunk (heard from himself of course)..
But it really turned out that way..
Playing psp..bathing many times..sleeping..eating..
So much so that one of our friends Steven said that it is really "zero activity"..
We asked if he is complaining..
He said no..and said he was exclaiming..
Anyway..other than the hot weather, there are not many complaints..
As I get to rest and relax..
But the cookhouse food was bad..at least most of the times..and still got survey..
According to our Commanding Officer, he said all our surveys usually put "not ok" or "lousy"..
He asked us to "touch our heart" and put what we really feel..
And not be affected by the service..and try not to be too harsh as the ppl in SFI depend on these surveys for bonuses..
But it really sucks..with the occasionally better meals..relatively of course..
And the breakfast is renowned for the "Cai Bao" and "Luo Mai Kai" tragedy..
Therefore I never woke up for breakfast..
Back to work on Monday..
No more psp..no more slacking..
Not that I am complaining..I need to work my brains again..I think that will really require a lot of effort..
But maybe some alcohol this weekend will do the trick!
