H1N1 and deployment

*Long Post Warning* - Do not read when sleepy

The past week has been crappy, and it can only get worst. I think karma has finally arrived. so much for my slack posting.

Anyway, let's start from the very beginning of the crap and how things actually looked great then. And for analysis sake, let's use the happiness index always found in the New Paper. For those who dun know what it is, it's just a random number used in an attempt to measure happiness. Let's start with 50 on the morning of 20th june 2009.

200609 1100 hrs. My 'sis' just came back from chicago! So i went out with her the whole day. dim sum buffet, pool, window shopping, jap restaurant dinner. wooh. +30 = 80

210609 1500 hrs. My relatives all came my house to celebrate fathers' day. hell of a ruckus.but it's fun and at 3 o'clock they wanted to go swimming so i brought them there and manged to get a good swim myself too. yay. +15 = 95

220609 1100 hrs. It's a monday but i'm using one of my 21 days off in army so i dun hav to go back camp. Went out with my sis whole day again. kbox, esplanade, her hse. Met up with chun tsen, kang wei and kin wai who all went her hse. yay. Catch up with so many frens at one shot. wootz. +30 = 125

220609 2200 hrs. Received news from my bunk mate that 1 alpha coy personnel in maju camp(my camp) is h1n1 positive and that all of us may be confined. wtf. quickly called chinny to confirm with me prawning date b4 i go back to camp.. -10 = 115

230609 1000 hrs. I have a medical review for my knee so i'm still not back in camp yet. chinny confirmed prawning date, my med review told me that my knee cmi need more physio sessions. Called camp to inform them i hav physio appts so can't go back camp else i can't come out. Off was granted by PC. +10 = 125

240609 1700 hrs. Received ill news from camp. OC wants EVERYBODY back unless u're dying or smthing. sucks. sounds like an order to go back to camp to get infected. Left 4 Dead comes to mind. I have to go back and at the same time cancel my physio appt. knn. -25 = 100

240609 2230 hrs. Back in camp. The atmosphere was shitty. The air has this still dead feeling. places sealed off, signs hung up here and there. Many changes have been implemented. Learnt from an officer that total confirmed cases is now 8. Meeting chun tsen and kang wei again at clementi and learning that a tv has myseriously appeared in my bunk lessens the damage considerably though. -5 = 95

250609 1200 hrs. Our camp has made front page news. Only the headlines elude us. Republic Poly took it. Theorize that if our cases continue to surge we might just get it. -5 =90

270609 0800 hrs. It's a saturday! but i'm in camp. and i just learned that we now have 18 cases. And i'm gonna miss my prawning date. knn. -40 = 50

280609 1000 hrs. It's sunday, i'm in camp. only good thing abt this is that i wun get monday blues. lol. and kudos to camp personnel who have come up with various ways to liven up the time in there.

290609 1500 hrs. CO wants to separate the deployment personnel(those who are going on ops) from those who are non-deployed ppl. A simple instruction, but some stupid BLACK PS from surveillance platoon took things in his own hands and ask everybody to pack ALL our things and move out so he can rearrange bunks, without doing the planning first. Result? 90% of the coy went back to their own bunks. Complete wastage of time and effort. btw, i'm not racist. It's just that that guy is asshole. -10 = 40

290609 1600 hrs. CO brings us bad news. He says deployment personnel will have to stay back after quarantine is lifted so we can go for ops. like wtf. 2 week ops plus after ops need quarantine. A quick calculation reveals that it'll mean 5 weeks consecutively in camp. holy shit. transformers 2 may even be out of cinemas by then. -40 = 0

290609 2200 hrs. Confusion has been cleared up. We are deploying as second batch of personnel so we get to come out for a week first, before going back in for a long long time that would mean it'll be august by the time i come out. +10 = 10

300609 0800 hrs. Official quarantine stand down timing is at 1400 hrs. which means we get to go out after that. but i'm the COS today so i wun be going out any time soon. -10 = 0

010709 1000 hrs. Finally completely handed over my COS duty. cuz my takeover is a first timer so i had to help him do almost everything. but it's ok, i'm finally out going out. first thing me gonna do is to have a nice long hot shower. wooh. then i'll login to facebook(wah rarity leh) and update my status for the FIRST time. yay. +10 =10

Fast forward to 060709 2200 hrs. I'll be back in camp again, and i'll only come out in aug. how sian is that? worse than recruit. that's y i say things can only get worse...

So anybody wanna watch transformers? else i go in come out sure gone le. lol.
