(this is the time when we are most united..) it's 2.30pm by the time we finish, but PC says have to wait until 3pm... sianz 1/2...

2am, wake up for duty... really difficult to keep myself awake for 8 hours until 10am... this is known as the graveyard time slot... when people easily fall asleep...



10am... really tired... took a shower and went to sleep...



in FDS, a duty cycle starts 9am everyday and ends 9am the next day... so at 6pm, i have wake up again for 8 hours duty... really tired of this boring life... luckily i brought some books to read... 1 of them is "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki... a book that i had read for more than a year LOL!!! haha... too lazy to read sometimes and the author's writng skills is quite boring... however, the contents is great...

yawn... as usual, wake up at 5.30am on a mounting day... took a shower but still sleepy... took mrt and bus and reach base just in time... today, the schedule is going to change again... now we will be having 2-1-1, 2-1-1, 3-1 schedule... which means we have to do a 3 day duty every 3rd mount... sianz... wat to do?? this change is because of increased duties at runway 3 (1 of our outposts, we have 3 outposts)... but i think that change doesn't help much... don't know wat our OC is thinking... i rather go back to the 2-1 schedule... at least i can go back to my original shift... don't understand?? nvm lah... i'm just complaining about nothing... no need care about me...



checked up my detailing (duties for the day) and found that i'm going merah (another outpost)... hehe... many people is envy of me, every mount can go merah... y? because i'm merah IC mah... i need to be there... although merah duties is quite slack but the duties last for 8 hours... and because i am IC, a lot of responsibilties is pushed by my mates to me when sergeant is not around... really don't understand y they want to do so... today my duty starts at 2am, so i can rest 1st, but will get waken every now and then to open gates (1 of the duties), and have to do a 1-hour prowl at 6pm...
