Spending duty at my workplace...

Surely nobody's going to disagree with me that having duty on weekend suck big time. When you are a National Serviceman conscripted into Singapore Army, you just have no rights to say no to this things (unless you think of ways to work your way around the system).

In combat units, the one doing guard duty will be obliged to do a tiring task of prowling around his camp like guard dogs. Thankfully, the duty of my workplace is not that demanding. The most you have to do is just locking/unlocking the camp, and walking to cookhouse to grab food. Other than that, we can just sit at air-conned room surfing internet.

But still it sucks just for the fact you can't go to town, you can't spend your time with family, and do things you can only do at home.

During weekend duty, there are only two things duty personals usually do.
1)Sleeping
2)Surfing net

It's not a bad thing, but I decided to make my time more worthwhile.

Today my duty partner was 3SG Kai Loon. He's a cool guy and is into kickboxing nowadays. So before lunch, he and I had a good session of kickboxing training. He was crazy enough to wrap Staff Sg Larry's tennis racket with other people's towels to turn it into mini punching bag. We walked around the place half naked, like as though the camp was our house.

Then around 3.30pm, when sun was shining bright and hot, I laid a training mattress on third floor veranda and spend an hour sun bathing. I took a bath after that and chilled out at admin office. It felt damn refreshing.

Before dinner, I had some chin-up exercise. I did high number of sets with low repetitions, eventually doing total of 40 reps in the end. My forearms and lats muscle were completely wacked out. Due to that, I have to type these out with shaky fingers.

Other than that, I got not much else to write about. Maybe when I'm bored I'll post something...
