Hallo ihr alle da draussen...i just finished the longest week ever since commissioning...Let's see...it began on Sunday and ended today.
Sunday: DOO
Monday: DOO for half a day (Thanks Rico!)
Tuesday: Conducting Trade Course SOC
Wednesday: Lesson Prep
Thursday: 01 x shack² Life Run
Friday: Complex DOO
Saturday: Escaped 1000
So well...you have seen what my timetable looked like...Let's see...Thursday was horrible. Imagine waking up at 0700 to go for a 5-klick Life Run in cadence (which means a snail-like pace...) and now imagine running at that pace but not being able to overtake because of 01 x Boss at the head of the running squad, f*cking you every time you approach him. That amounted to something very very tiring because...well one now has to purposely regulate his gait and step and pace just to keep in step...which takes even more effort than running at one's own pace (which would be faster, incidentally) which resulted in me becoming totally wasted after that run. Add to that a warm-up/cool-down I/C which was a bit forgetful in counting his sets and there you have it. I was dead. Wye Hong can give you a detailed account of how dead i was...falling asleep in the PGM Computer Room at about 1130 (!)
But somehow, i managed to get my slides done...through a tough uphill battle...then...Simster, the battery 2I/C, called me and arrowed me to be Friday's DOO! (Schon wieder...) But oh well i kinda volunteered because my original DOO was scheduled to be on 110405, but i have this stupid display on that day, so i guess i was kinda the sucker for it. Oh wells.
Friday. DOO duties...which had to be the longest and most hectic DOO 24 SA has seen in a bit...let's see. Store checks. Taking over the armskotes. Mount guards. Close the mess after Gunners' RV, this biannual social event. Sounds easy? Hell no! I only closed the mess at bloody 0015...which is to say in other words, i spent all of Friday running up and down, between the TA Office, Ops Room, KTSC, Armskotes, Guardroom, and the Mess. One of the guards, Aaron, saw me going to the mess at 2330 with my beret in smart 4. Sigh. And i still had those maggots in the trade course to contend with.
Takeaway: Please DO NOT tekan the poor DOO.
Now, on to maggoty behaviour. The trade course are full of them. Can't do their drills properly such that the BDO has to go and demonstrate how to perform a proper lowering of arms. Dragging their bloody fucking boots. Screwing up the bloody book-in/book-out book. I mean, it's your book out. So please do it and don't fuck up! Stupid maggots. Made me open my mouth and heap vulgarities on them on an early Saturday morning. I think that i am becoming a terrorist in their eyes. Or a tyrant.
Either way, i'd rather be a terrorist. At least they'd be scared.
Just tried my hand at making a Scarlett O'Hara. Named after a character in the movie Gone with the Wind, it was a promotional drink by the Southern Comfort company to promote their liqeuer.
Scarlett O'Hara
2 parts Southern Comfort
2 parts cranberry juice (dilute if you wish)
1 part lime juice
Shake with ice, then strain into a cocktail glass
What did it taste like? Firstly, it didn't reek of alcohol. It was more like a mixture of fruit tastes, with the peach in the Southern Comfort dominating. The cocktail was quite sweet, maybe due to the fact that i diluted the cranberry juice somewhat, which tends to place some emphasis on the sweetness of the cranberry juice rather than the bitter/sour base. All in all, not half bad, but i think not many people have tasted Scarlett O'Hara, so...no yardstick to judge by. Until then? PASSED. =)
Watched Install today with Kelvin...you ought to go watch it, even if you don't understand Japanese...an adult issue (sex chat rooms) taken and then looked at through the eyes of a child...the awakening of a girl's sexual awareness, and more...go catch it! I shall not carry on proving you with a spoiler...
