My Tampines Fire Station Life thus far...Almost left 10 months to ORD... So far adapted to the work schedule of 1 day work,2 days off. Still got lots to learn. There are countless scenarios n drills in SCDF as compared to jus a few in the army which makes my life in SCDF pretty interesting in variety. Jus days ago, I encountered minor bush fires behind my station area. Got 2 hot spots there, 1 of which we used canvas beater to beat off the small rumbling fires burning the grass successfully and the other we used a 38mm jet up a slope to extinguish the fire n cool the area. Luckily, not the whole area got scorched by sun. Had the weather get any hotter tat day, bush fires which are known as lalang fires would hav got bigger. Phew luckily weather got cooler afterwards. Wat a day indeed!
Okay, working in stations on certain days to me is kinda sian de. Days like tues, fri, sat and sun are best for work as u wont get monday blues mood often. And days like mon, wed, thurs have that sort of monday blues mood on it. Also depend on the situation, if the past few duties have been passed smoothly, u will feel like no matter which day ur shift falls next, u can work better n more happier. But some people in my station are not to be trifled too much with. If u work well, they hardly praise you. But if u made a mistake, they make your life miserable. Hopefully they get transferred to another place in the coming few months ba. Muwhahahaha... ...
Ok, maybe i may buy wii console in next few days. Shall see how as the console can let one sweat out alot too. For PS3, i shall wait for price drop first. Ok time to sleep, shall be refresh for tml duty. Gambate!
Watever u want, whatever you do, ask urself whether it is worth it or not.

Mid july already! so fast =xWell, Purchase some stuffs before july 1 when GST raises to 7%. Anyway, i believe all of u out there in S'pore bought some stuff before then too. So wats left now is whether i will buy wii console first of PS3 first. But i believe i may buy wii first as there is modified version of it available rather than PS3 which is good in specifications but not its bulky casing and not modified either. Well, i got to c how though.
Anyway, took a leave on july 11 so that i can enjoy 5 free days to clear up my stuffs. Now i hav managed to setup a mini hotspot corner for using my laptop in comfort. hehe. Can spend more quality time with my laptop this way. Now, left some more stuffs to be thrown away, n some more decorations + arrangement of stuffs, then i should be able to hav a nice room.
So far in july, watched transformers. Quite impressive though its storyline feels a bit lacking. So, next in line would be harry potter. Hope it will not disappoint any one of us ba. Soon enough, chalet in early august. It looks like more preparations are needed or else there wont be much fun? Well, from wat i see most people are staying 1 night only. Wonder whether some guys may come or not, cos for some guys, they r involved in national day rehearsals.
Anyway, recovered from sore throat recently. Guess hot weather and my work nature has some impact on my health though. Most importantly, drink more water, eat more fruits. =) Ok, 1 more rest day tml b4 another duty on this sat. See ya, time to enjoy a bit.
Planning maybe good but it may not always lead to good results.
