Step down

I now just recently came back from my 1 week trip to the lighthouse and I must say is really tight and at the same time is fun. So long we do the job well everything goes fine. Our Major who came with us is fun though. =)

Before we leave, we have a photo shoot in front of the Chinook. First time on it so I was kinda excited how it looks like inside. More of long then big. We settle up all the rations, stores and necessities to the aircraft and wait for the flight to be ready. Before boarding, I sent my last message to my baby gal telling her I will be back soon. (she is sad I can tell from her replies..) The wind generated by the heli is strong enough to actually knock you off balance. Small and light guys will be blown away =D

The inside is long and we practically fill up all the seats. Various teams are in the aircraft and I cant say who they are. Cant see much during the the flight cause they were covered by the seats.

DAY 01- 04

Our days in the lighthouse was pretty much challenging. The duty schedule, time and SOP have changed. Well you see on the third they a team have to leave the place cause we have step down the level, leaving us to do the barb wires. =( Super slippery and dangerous and the bad part is you have to wake up early so the tide is at its lowest. Got myself a few minor cuts and sunburn. the on the day after we finished the job, we were exhausted. The job to me is not tedious nor the hammering of the reinforced bars to the granite rockbed but is the "non-slip" shoes that gave me problems cause they are not really that "grippy". Our police friend kept tossing drinks over the jetty for us and some went into the sea =/Our major went nuts and start singing chinese oldies while he was being recorded. Haha funny sia.

So far in the light house is good. Get to talk bout other's life story and so forth that's until the barricade fall again and we have to go down and do it once more but with a different plan. Anyway that plan fail too.

My psp has been booked almost 24hrs by my IC and my buddy =/ so I play risk there.

DAY 05-06

One funny thing during my trip was that there is an activation for ops and the best part is I WAS BATHING HALFWAY!!! I was like "what was that annoucment again?" then followed by " WTF? OH CRAP!". I wash off quickly, get changed, wake my buddy up and go to the ops room and only get a "everything is fine now, go back to your normal respective stations" =.=" I apologise to my buddy who haven't being sleeping well since day one.

The Last day was fun, with so many people helping out, area cleaning is finished within 15mins and we got time to have food fight with the birds. We got a casualty cause a frozen cuttlefish ball fly up bout 10m before landing on our unfortunate IC's head, who was just merely a passerby to throw the trash. The impact sound like a pitched golf ball O_O" seriously that was my expression when he was groaning in pain.

The birds sure now how to target which make our major start throwing patties at them. LOL XD

DAY 07

Flying back home is the best but it not the chinook anymore but the super puma. My dear msg telling she is going to tear cause she missed me then laugh later when I texted her back saying I have just landed in singapore LOL. Our warrant gave my buddy and me a lift to the katib MRT station and my buddy say ever since we posted to tuas and this vocation it has been hard but most of it is fun. I agreed =) cause I would say apart from my IMOS days, this part of my ns life is the most experinced and meaningful and would be most memoriable.
