my class 3 and class 4

i was supposed to finish my 3-tonner islandwide driving and land rover islandwide driving first.
well, there were 7 of us. and i got the slot to drive.

i was given the chance to complete all that in a day.
but i decided, 'nah, maybe i should let the rest complete first. i'll drive tomorrow then'

so within that second, i told ivan lim, "ivan, you drive ok? i, v.com (vehicle commander)"
at first he was uncertain, and then he nodded in agreement.
i felt there was no rush to complete this course early anyway. take my time and drive the next day right?

but then, yesterday at the meeting room. we were at the course de-brief with our sergeant. and he announced,
"Private Lim, best trainee"

and like durrr, cos he finished the course first.
i turned around and faced fit. he was sitting directly behind me
"damn, i gave him my rover." i told fit
"that means i'm third ah?" he replied in amazement.

but its all good.
all 6 out of 7 of us (1 got into an accident on the E'way)
we all got an off day today. and now i have nothing to do.
currently waiting to head down for either our MAN truck course or Transport Supervisor course.
210km down. 6790km to go.

oooh, i can drive a bus already.

i finally got it back from my bus freak friend... cant believe i gave it away for free... but to get it back wasnt easy i had to exchange it with another desto (aka destination plate) i had to trade this rare 97 temporary desto... he didn't force me for it, but i felt it was only nice to give something in return.... especially like in this case when i ask for this 185 desto back.. whats so special bout 185? three reasons.. 1) this bus is my childhood service...always took it 2) this service is no longer in existence... so imagine how rare the desto is 3) i ride on the improved version of this service almost daily Improved?? here, a lil explanation 185 (my era) from Choa Chu Kang to Jalan Anak Bukit (loop) 185 was handed over from SBS to TIBS in 1998 due to an agreement.. 185 merged with the newly introduced 989 to become 185 Choa Chu Kang to Jalan Anak Bukit (loop) 989 Choa Chu Kang to Changi Airport PTB 1 & 2 185 + 989 = 985 985 Choa Chu Kang to Geylang Lorong 1 so now, i freq

great. what's been up with me is this. as mentioned way too many time in the utmost gentle manner ever possible. i am done with my driver course. i belong to the early bunch who finished our TP. TP was special cos unlike the member of the public who did their TP test using civilian cars, we used out big lorries for the test. so whos test was tougher? u decide. we were supposed to get OFF. but today, tsk tsk, i ended up doing loads of cleaning. and so i guess tomorrow as well. til 9th march! transport supervisor course. back to route marches and field camp. after fieldcamp now without field camp and route marches plus loads of diabetes Milo from the canteen. and yes. looking back at pictures, i need field camp and route marches. getting fatter. tsk tsk. need gym badly. its been 3 weeks without the treadmill and weights. --------------------------- and my greatest camp companion apart from my PSP would be the books that accompanied me through the night. sleeping at past midnight just
