ORD oh!
In NS, everybody seems to be waiting for their big day, which is their ORD. But I wonder, why is everybody looking forward to ORD so soon? I mean, I know NS is boring and sickening, but not everyone wants to ORD as soon as they think they need.
I find that my life in NS was rather too short. I know the last time, back when it was 2½ years of NS, it was too long, but I think 2½ years was just nice.
This is the preview of my NS life:-
- Entered army officially on 03122007
- Had to serve BMT for 6 months
- Posted as a Supply Supervisor
- Went for Supply Supervisor course for 4 months at Supply and Transport Center
- Posted out from STC and become a Supply Supervisor at 3 DISCOM
- Had to wait for my boss (the RQMS) to come back from Wallaby Exercise for almost 2 months
- So officially, I’m doing my real work for only 1 year.
- Now I have ORD-ed, on the 02122007
So tell me, wasn’t that a little too fast? I know NS allowances was too little for most of them. Especially, when we have friends who’s serving NS at the Police Force or the Civil Defence, because they have much higher allowances compared to the Army.
Well, can’t blame them though. The allowances is always being revised to provide the most efficient amount for everybody.
To me, just do as they say. You’ll live your life with no problems.
And now I’m a jobless man. Can I not work so soon too?
CR on 30112007
We should have went to Kusu Island on 01122007 but due to unforeseen circumstances, that event was postponed till another date. So we went to Marina South instead.
So, me, my brother and his wife, and Abg Nazri went night fishing at Marina South on 30112007. I brough myself 2 rods, (finally I can get to test my new rod just gotten from a friend, Zul) a 10ft Lemax Platinum and 6ft Pioneer. But in the end, I didn’t get the chance to use the Pioneer rod because I was busy concentrating on my new rod.
The weather was fine, everything was so far so good. The tide was rising when we reached at 11pm, and high tide is at 3am. I fell asleep after 4am because I was already too tired (because the previous night I only get to sleep for 5 hrs) and I must have missed all the actions.
In the end, we caught a total of 4 fishes. I didn’t know the english name, but I know we caught 1 gelama, 1 puyut, 1 mentimun and finally 1 big kerapu batik.
The best part is I get to bring back all of them! Buahahahaha…
Cheers from Singapore!
