Finally back from Ex. Camar !! It was supposed to be a trip to alleviate the sufferings of the poorer ple there but it felt like a 4 day 3 night oversea chalet at bintang ! Had fun there despite the work ...
1st day : First time flying in a SAF plane F-50 ... a small passenger plane ...The shortest trip I've ever flown in ... ard 15 to 20 mins ?! Also a flight with the steepest turns i encountered ...
Upon reaching Kjiang we unloaded the stores n moved to the sch before retiring for the day ... 31 BCS boxes in total ... phew ... The ple there were very friendly ! Had one colonel come up to me and we joked about my good singlish ... haha ...
Our hotel exceeded my expections ! Cool ! Much better than i had expected .. Had a scrumptious seafood dinner that night.
2nd day : Our first and only day of the clinic ... i was attached to the dispensary along with elaine n paviter ... tiantian n jimmy were mopas while lengchong n guangjie were suppposed to be triage ... ( they came to help out at dispense later ..) Lynn was mostly at dispense also ... at 8 am Indon time ... we're all set n ready to go !
The school, aka our site of operation.
Leng chong n guang jie
The dental team
The dispensary ... my workplace ...
Some of the drugs brought over from Singapore. Spent around 2 weeks to prepare everything detail ...
Seen over 800 patients that day for the medical side .. was dispensing medication like crazy ... the dental side saw over a hundred .. our DO was telling ple he pulled 126 teeth that day ... a record for him ! The medical team saw a grand total of over 1000 patients in ONE day ! Thats more than what my medical centre sees in two months ... Had body ache next morning from all the work ...
Soo many ple. ...
Dr Tan and Tian Tian hard at work ...
Ouch!
Elaine the admin officer ...
Busy busy busy ... Paviter overseeing LC n GJ.
The thing is even though we were busy ... It didn't feel like work ... unlike the usual drugdery of medical centre, the work was actually fun and without pressure ..
We finally closed shop btwn 4 to 5 pm... packed everything and brought the stuff back to Kjiang airbase ... tired but still full of energy !

Dinner was seafood again ... treat by the doctors ! Yea !
Day 3 : R&R day ! Yippee !!! Wat else to do there but shopping ? spent the whole afternoon doing that although didn't buy much ... the clothes there are really cheap ! but a little small in size ... wanted to buy more but limited by the shirt size ... stupid ...
Dinner this time was at the hotel with all the indonesian n S'pore personnel ... A dinner and sing-along session ...
Dr Wilfred, Bintan idol ...
The medical team up on stage !
After dinner we went to Jim's room ... played cards till late night ...
Day 4 : S'pore here we come ! Haiz ... a bit reluctant to return actually ... Bintang puts you in such a relaxed mood you'll rather stay longer ...Hereby ends my 4 day 3 night overseas chalet ... While loading up the stores into the aircraft sorta hurt my right wrist ... damn ... Hoping its not serious cause its gonna affect my wushu ...
We touched down in S'pore ard 3 pm S'pore time ... was raining heavily that day so our flight was delayed for quite long in Kjiang ... The rain also delayed the unloading of stores ... By the time we left medical centre it was nearing 5pm ...
Reached home, took a bath and rushed to zhiyong Bday party after tt ... Met Young at Bukit Batok MRT then went to ZY place ... first time at ZY place and his house is humongous !!! It's a castle ! 5 levels in total including basement ! wah .. made it a personnel goal to buy me one of those houses in the future !
Finally arrived home ard 1am ... haha ... been a really cool 4 days ! now if only i can persuade my guys to lemme go the next time too ... hmm ...
