Army Canteen

[Backdated Record]

The last 2 days have nothing surprising. It is cool that we got to eat french fries and fish and crips today for lunch. If i din remember wrongly, yesterday we had spaghetti for lunch. Food here has certainly improved compared to the past [ as i've learn from my friends ]. I've learn that the food are nutritiously prepared and calculated before preparing and cooking. No longer we eat splats after splats of unkown brown stuffs from the ladle. Another officer also told us that actually, we are very lucky. The cook house will cook good food only when there is an occasion .. liek a celebration or when there is a new group of intake coming into tekong. According to him, usually the veggies are brown and not as tasty as it is now. Anyway its not very tasty also. I wonder how its like being much worst than what we are eating..... still it is good to get food to eat. A hungry man is easily satisfied :)

On top to the usual boring lectures, we went to visit the e-mart and the SAF canteen. The canteen is very old with like only 2 or 3 functioning stalls. I din bother to look around. I just bought an ice cream and slowly enjoy it at one corner of the canteen. I also bought pop corn from the e-mart. There are arcade machines there too. Very old machines but quite up to date games surprisingly. Metal Slug 5, KOF 2004 and another Garou Mark of the wolves kinda game. The best part is ... the game cause only 10 cents to 20 cents per game. Amazing men. The cheapest arcade machine i've ever seen.

Later i ate pop corn and had a good wonderful night. Its my last night there, and i can't sleep. I've been thinking alot. Can't remember much of what i thought ... but its pretty enriching i would say. Through-out the time i was awake, i notice that the sergeant entered our bunk at least 5 times to do spot check to see whether we are sleeping. -_-

Jeez, i am very happy that i am booking out tomorrow. Life will go much better now... with more colour.
