i havent written a post since ages. approximately 9 weeks. the last post was written before i went into army.
i promise the readers a long post.
when i enter the army, i felt excited and apprehensive over the next several weeks. i came early on that day, met joel on the ferry. haha. that was pretty lucky. not only did i meet him i met 2 of my aj classmates. then there was the swearing in infront of our parents. that really marked the opening of my life in BMT. Got to eat lunch with mum and dad before they left.
then the story unfolds...
i went to get sorted out to different companies and then my own respective platoon. i was hoping i get some of my jc classmates into my platoon. BUt i got more. lol. amazingly, joel was in the same platoon as me. that was something i enjoyed throughtout the whole of my BMT. he is a very close friend as we were in the same scout trooop for 4 years. thats like super long compared to the 8 weeks in BMT.
the confinement week was pretty much about adjusting to the army life. okay i realised that i can sleep early and wake up early. But thats very different compared tot he lifestyle b4 the army. and my section got 3 aj ppl including me. haha. amazingly one of the guy's gf is in my class. lol. so thats really quite 'qiao'. initally i was quite quiet in teh section but as the days passsed, i begin to talk more.(:
after the end of the 2 weeks, my parents and grandma were waiting for me at tekong. Man, the ladies were emotional. haha. they can't believe that they are seeeing me. or at least thats what i felt. haha. they were almost on the verge of crying. i felt a tinge of emotion. i not sure how to describe. maybe relieved that i have such good family support. that was when i felt quite happy(:
then booking in was quite sians. i mean as when you book out to enjoy life outside you tend to won't feel like going in especially if u don't get to see the person you want to see. haha.
there were a lot of activities during NS. some memorable ones were recruits, oc evening,grenade and rifle. haha. some cannot be commented though. it is indeed fun to have the experience of doing something that you don't usually do. rather excited and nervous lo. then some more i got sweaty palms. i dunno whether it will slip from my hand(the thought from my head last time)
rifle = no comments. i suck at it though.=)
ah.... and there were the route marches. haha. quite fun. carrying the heavy field pack. and the agr, strength training,30-60,bcct.
finally it all came to an end. i miss my mates but more impt i mimss my family members. i guess some of my friends as well. ah. but a lot of u guysa are stilll busy. i guess. take care. and do well for your upcoming obstacles. (:
