FINALLY i'm back!! man i tell you yesterday was so irritating!!! I had like the most irritating day of my life!! so far at least... here's like the WHOLE story...
It started off with us having to go over to Bedok Camp cos we got to submit our kitbags for my aus trip coming up. So I was like up packing on Sunday night until about 1am before I actually got to bed, and had to wake up by about 7+ so that we could make the trip down to Bedok camp. Of course, I took a lift from my friend's car and our bags took quite a while to arrive, so I was like walking around Bedok estate for about 1/2 hr before we went to the camp! That's the start...
Then we had our first initial inspection. Let me elaborate on the scenario. There were 2 groups of us, one group had their inspection at another camp, while we had ours here in Bedok Camp. So for our travel to australia, all our eqmts
CANNOT have any sand, mud, dirt, grass, seedlings, gravel, rust, algae, etc etc etc on it AT ALL!! And for us practically everbody failed the first inspection so we spent the entire morning cleaning out all the dirt AGAIN! It's not as if we didn't clean it in camp.. but apparently it wasn't enough!!
Then 2nd inspection was at 3pm... again a few more problems like cloth bits stuck in the velcro and muddy looking stains, yada yada... so AGAIN down to more cleaning... actually we were more desperate this time.. yep out came permanent markers, spray paints!! so that was one mess.. then just as we were about then and going to pack up, they told us to take out everything again cos the RSM want to check personally!! I was already pretty pissed already cos it totally wasted my entire day already and they still want to check AGAIN!?!??!?!! Because of that I actually cancelled a lesson that I was supposed to conduct today... !!!
By the time they checked finish it was already like 530pm already... talk about a waste of time!! my whole day was wasted by the stupid inspection!! grrrrrrr....
then this morning had to go see my boss in the early morning... so i couldn't rest today.. and my nose is starting to run again.. !!! talk about a bad week.... well more work ahead for me.... *sigh*
