Posted out again, back to Jurong Camp...

This is getting irritating... I have been called back to Jurong Camp Transport HQ. According to the email they sent to my superior, they need me to do some recording for their anniversary video. Sounds interesting... George will be posting to Sungei Gedong as a clerk and Jia Wei has been posted as a RP. I think he has the best life among all of us lor... Actually to me, I don't mind any vocation, as long as I can stay out. One thing bad about Jurong camp is that all the high rank superior are there, so very hard to slack. Dunno will I enjoy there more than Bukit Panjang camp anot...

As I have promised in my previous post that I will talk about Bukit Panjang camp Transport unit. According to most people, it is a very nice place to be in, cos the job scope down there is very slack. True enough, the disciplinary level down there is very low. What my job includes doing sai kang, doing details in the morning and after that surf internet and play games. Due to the very little job assigned there, most of the time I will have to act busy to avoid being assigned with extra work or scolded, especially by this old uncle call Mr Chew, which is very naggy and everyone hates him. LOL! He's a DXO there.

Over there, the office is very small. The 2 biggest superiors there is my MTO Gavin Soh and MTWO Cher. Gavin is a super nice guy but Cher is a horrible uncle, always like to aim me. Both of them seems equal in power, but by right Gavin should have more power, but he always give in to Cher.

As for the people there, 90% are malays, thus making cliques there for me is kinda difficult. I only been more close to the chinese there and also the one which I'm understudying, Ismail. He's a very nice guy to be with. Very patient with me when I have trouble and when I'm learning. Oh ya, I'm a detail clerk there. I will be in charge of planning a time table for the drivers there using the requests from the 3SIB and 5SIR units there. I will also be in charge of choosing drivers to go for the assisgnments. POwer right? Their lives lies in my hands. LOL!

Everyone there have to stay in camp, including clerks.I don't understand why I have to stay in when my house is at a walkable distance and I'm never late for work. The most frustrating thing is that at 1st MTO allow me to stay out but after that he say stay in. Hai... Cheated my feelings. But I heard that alot of people bend the rules there and illegally stay out, so I decided to do the same. Until last week I kana caught by MTO, but being a nice person, he never punish me or tell anyone. So I stayed in for a few days and I receive news of posting back to Jurong this morning.

Sadly, just when I'm about to get close to the people there, I receive news that I will need to return to Jurong Camp Transport HQ on the very last minute. I met many good friends and learnt many chao geng stuff from them. I even have a nickname there call "Stevo". LOL! And according to the people there, especially Fauzy, they say I'm like the Angel among the Devils. Probably because I'm have been acting to be a good and innocent boy over there. And yes, I acted, and got quite tired of it.

Anyway, Friends like Gerald, Ismail, Kwoh Boon How, Jaryl are people who I really enjoy their company there. Gonna miss them and my "private driving lessons" from Gerald...(I'm not suppose to drive actually...) This posting here and there thing is really playing with my feelings. Whatever it is, I believe its part of God's plan and I believe He will help me to a posting which I will enjoy and in my NS life. Amen!

And so, my journey continues back in Jurong Camp as a... Clerk...???

Saded...

Dear bloggy, I'm very sad today. Mainly of 2 things.

Firstly, I did not get into MDC. My pes status as pending is not good enough for me to get into MDC yet. I have to get it to pes C as soon as possible. Recently, the Medical Officer in my unit had just sent my medical status onto the medical board as pending C2L2. I just need to wait till its confirm and try for the next MDC audition again. If I fail to downgrade my pes to pes C and get back to pes B, I will keep trying to geng till I get pes C, or else I wont stand a chance to get into MDC. LOL!

Secondly, my BMT friends have just POP (graduated) from BMT and have been posted to different units. Some even got into SISPEC and OCS. My good friend Kai got into a unit which he's hoping not to go. Damn worried for him. Seeing him sad makes me sad too. And Zuo Zhi need to be stuck inside his OCS camp for 3 weeks. All of my BMT friends will be reporting to their new units from today. The sad thing is all of them are seperated into different places and time schedule. We may not even have the chance to meet up anymore. Sob... No more fun times together... I'm gonna miss my buddies...

My 1st step to MDC, The MDC Auditions...

Yo people! Just to update you all, I'm currently working in Bukit Panjang Camp as a Detail Clerk, spending my slacking and boring life there. And I have been sneaking back home every evening after work to practise for my upcoming MDC auditions at that time. Out of the four categories, I signed up for Vocal Ensemble, Musician/ Instrumentalist, and Production Service. The only one I did not signed up for is the Artiste category as it requires you to act, host and dance besides singing, and I can't do it. As for my life in Bukit Panjang Camp, I will talk about it in my next post.

Ok, 2 major events I had for the last week end. SCC camp and MDC audition. I shall start off with the SCC camp. SCC camp was not too bad, but also not too good.

Good pointers are: the bonding of the freshies are there, schedule is clear cut and systematic, the lecture by acid lao shi is really a very good highlight for the camp, the food production from the bbq is faster as compared to previous camps, and alot of people initiated to help out during the camp.

Bad pointers are: too little members went for the camp so the atmosphere not as high, technical side still can be improved, the kbox session like abit failure and overused (hee... no offense, sorry), night walk location like not eerie enough leh...

And I was very impressed by Gary's effort to make the camp a good one even though he's sick. Carry out a camp is already very tiring, whats even worse is that he was sick and he still carry on. Hero la. But of cos chien wen did a good job in assisting him also la, haha!

For me, my experience in this camp is great! Get to know quite a number of chio boos, heheheh. But not as fun as last camp, cos not many of my year that bunch of friends come back for this camp...

K, for the MDC audition, which falls on the morning of the MP and camp day, is already a let down. I have to rush to the clubhouse super early in the morning to practise my keyboard and warm up my vocals and then rush to Nee Soon camp where they held the audition. And I met a lot of friends and celebrities there. I met Kah Leong, Timothy, Renfred, Hanyang, an old friend of mine and some SCC people there.

1stly, I went for the instruments audition. The Godly Drummer Andrew from SCC Audio Insanity was one of the judge there and he regconise me! It was my turn and I brought in my mp5 with my backing music track inside and my keyboard. When I'm inside the room, Andrew allowed me to set up my own keyboard and my mp5 into the speakers, but got this uncle judge refused to allow me. I told him I had prepare my piano pieces and it requires my backing track to be played together when I'm playing my piano or else the music I prepared will make no sense. He insisted in not allowing me to carry out what I had planned. Fine then, I got no mood in presenting my piano pieces anymore and anyhow press those key on the keyboard. After all that effort I had done in recording my backing track, it had come to waste. What an asshole. And for sight reading, HE WANTS ME TO PLAY IT IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT READING IT 1ST! Please la! In every piano examination, the students are ALWAYS given at least 5 mins to read 1st before playing. That uncle is so unprofessional. As a result, I flunk the audition. Nvm, still got vocal audition next.

As for the vocal audition, people who went into the audition said that it was quite tough when the judge is playing some random notes on the piano and you have to sing according to it. And they need a bass singer... Ooooo... I was quite nervous and scared at that time, cos I cant afford to fail as I had flunk in my keyboard audition. So I went in and did my best. However, it was not as tough as I expected. I'm able to sing out those random notes the judge played on the piano and I'm quite satisfied with myself. Nothing much to complain. And so I moved on to the interview for production service.

There, the interviewer asked me some of my experiences on producing shows and I vomit out all the experiences I had during my course in Film, Sound and Video. I think she was quite satisfied with me also as I mentioned I was involved in the NP Idol production and SCC concerts production.. And so, I have nothing much to complain. But my worry is that what if i'm selected for both vocal and production service? According to MDC, they will post me to the one which lacks of people. Shit! I wanna go into vocal ensemble more! But nvm, whether I get in or not, its God's plan and I believe he will do what's best for me. K, got to sleep, cya!

My song performed during SCC Camp, hope you like it!
