Speaking about covering up your flaws.
Yesterday i went to Swensens with my da jie.
I ordered a Teriyaki chicken pizza.
After some time the waiter came with my pizza. I immediately realised that my order was wrong when i saw pineapple on it. It was a Hawaiian pizza.
So i called the waiter and told him the order was wrong. He seemed confused, so he called another waiter to the scene. Both of them disappeared for a while with the pizza.
The waiter came back and said:
"Sorry sir, the pizza was actually Teriyaki pizza, but the cook did not put enough chicken on it. Your pizza will arrive shortly."
After that the waiter came back with my 'revamped' pizza and he disappeared again quick.
My pizza had pineapple, ham, and Teriyaki chicken on it.
For once in my crazy life, I ate a 'Teriyaki chicken and Hawaiian COMBO' pizza at Swensens!
Army babble.
Last week was screwed up.
I was tasked to follow a Tonner (a military vehicle) transporting a team of plant operators and their officer to the Ferry terminal (SFT), drop them off, after that follow the empty tonner back to camp. The latter is also known as vehicle command (veh-comd for short). Sounds rather simple right.
But no.............
It takes 1 hour to get to SFT from Jurong camp.
We left the camp at 7am. I'll call this checkpoint ONE.
We hit the expressway. Checkpoint TWO. We were all happy and i eavesdrop on the planters how they are gonna dig some holes and bulldoze stuff and all the slack planty crap. And how their 2 weeks in tekong building some training shed in bmt is gonna be so slack.
35 minutes later we were on the PIE. Somewhere. Checkpoint THREE. The officer announces that he left his bag IN CAMP.
So we made a U-turn somewhere back to camp. 45 minutes later we were back to Checkpoint TWO.
Finally at 845am we are back in camp. Checkpoint ONE AGAIN.
The officer went to grab his bag which he claims to be of high importance, probably containing an inflatable GS table and some lollipops. Then the driver had to turn the current situation into an anticlimatic one and annouce the tonner has gear problems which requires changing.
And so at 9pm, we were at the MT-line(the place where military vehicles are parked). Checkpoint NEGATIVE ONE. No more tonners left. We had to go to HQ.
CHECKPOINT NEGATIVE TWO.
We finally got our freakin' tonner and vroom we were on our way! It was 915.
So we reached the SFT eventually and i brought the tooner back to camp. The entire ordeal lasted till 11.30.
It took me one whole morning to go to changi and back to camp. Imagine the time wasted.

You know, we should meet up more often.
