Yay! I am a private le! Passed out from BMT on Tuesday! Wooh... Finally, i am no longer the lowest lifeform in Tekong... 9 weeks really flashed by... And i am beginning to miss my buddies le...
The last week of BMT was really like a holiday camp... I didn't even hear the stupid three words "half left down" from my sergeants at all... I think they din bother to punish us anymore since we were leaving...
Since it was the last week, i decided to make full use of my time left... Last thursday, my buddy Junrong and i volunteered to do guard duty ( stupid right? ) at night, and we obviously had to sacrifice our sleep, but we went ahead coz we never tried it before... Actually it was pretty slack, coz we get to go canteen break and my sergeants are so nice that they actually brought chicken wings for us... My shift was from 10-12 and 4-6am... At the start, we were a little nervous coz it's Thursday night, where the army ( or the malays? ) believe that pontianaks come out to haunt people...I am not sure why is it thursdays though... Anyway, my first shift was completed smoothly and we went back to the bunk to sleep till 4am... The second shift was -_- coz we were still rather sleepy... Halfway through the prowling, i met the other team patrolling... They were just sitting in one corner looking blankly into thin air... So i went over and ask them whether they were slacking or something... That's when one of them who's my platoon mate said that he just saw a ghost! Walau eh, and the best part is that he saw it at the SOC ground which i am suppose to pass by next! Damn... He said he saw this 'thing' wearing orange shirt and camou pants running up the ram and disappearing! When my buddy and i walked by the ramp, we just looked forward... And as we turned a bend, i heard the distinct sounds of footsteps going up the jacob's ladder! Wat the heck man... It's so creepy...
We had our 24km graduation march last Saturday at 3pm till 11.45pm that night... It was definitely one of the most memorable events in BMT coz it's the last time my buddies and i will be marching side by side since we will be going our separate ways after BMT... So sad... I hate partings... Worse still, my buddy was on MC that day, hence he couldn't march with me! Walau, can die sia... And my chinese song buddy was also absent! I felt so lost sia... In the end, only my other buddy Alson was with me... He was also quite sad that Junrong wasn't with us too... We sang all the way into the night, all the crap songs, even Teletubbies! It was fun indeed, and we actually don't really feel tired at all... Most of us felt that our combat fitness has improved by leaps and bounds after the 2 field trips, where we ran in our full battle order... Hence, we didn't really feel the weight of the fieldpack at all... I guess most of us were 'high' by that time already... As we reached our last 4km back to camp, my sergeant asked who would want the honour of being the flag-bearer... I immediately raised up my hand, knowing it will be the last time i can hold up the RAVEN flag and wave it proudly in the air... And as i reached the parade square, i just ran and ran to the flag pole like a demented guy who just got released from a woodbridge hospital... My platoon-mates ran after me, all of them estatic that we have finally endured the 24km march! We exchange high-fives and grabbed each other, as if we just won the World Cup or something... I will never forget the moment man...
Then came POP parade... We were super lucky that the weather was great... The clouds covered the entire sky, hence it wasn't hot at all... After the parade, my mum and dad came to put on my jockey cap for me... I felt proud, proud that i have finally pass out from BMT, and that i have managed to go through all the shit with my buddies ( although more shit will be coming my way after BMT ) The strong bonds of friendship and brotherhood will never be forgotten, and of course i will never forget my commanders too, who have put in a lot of effort in training us from civilians to soldiers... BMT is indeed a phase in NS that one will never forget... The only bad thing is that we got to part with each other and start all over again in our new unit... Haiz...
We had a section gathering at one of our bunkmate's place... We ordered pizza and we played the X-Box till 4am in the morning! It was crazy... We kept playing Halo2 and WinningEleven until our eyes cannot take it... Alson and I watched soccer till the television started to watch us... Haha... We betted on Singapore to win our neighbours that night, and Spore won 2-1! Wooh! Songbo... Both of us super happy when we won money... Alson is the only one in my bunk besides me who bet on soccer, and walau, he more hardcore than me sia... He place bets of hundreds when he's super confident... He poor thing sia, that night he lost $100 on the Paraguay match... hiaz...
Had our National Education tour yesterday... Went to Changi Chapel and Museum, visited this monster gun as well as the NeWater plant... We learnt how the Japanese invaded Spore all over again... So sianz... And we were taught how water was recycled... So boring...
Went to book our holiday tour today with Sab, Mich and Adam at Heartland Mall... After long hours of discussion, we finally decided on HongKong! Wooh! Can go hoilday again... Super happy... I really wanna get out of Spore and get a super good break before i report to my unit... I got this feeling that i will go to Sispec... Which means i have to go back to Tekong! Sianz... Gotta take the stupid Penguins again... Haha... Actually i dun really mind, as long as i can get to be a commander lo... The best is still OCS of course... Darn, i miss out on being platoon best sia... I think i was 4th or 5th in my platoon sia... Wasted... I think i din work hard enough for it anyway...
Sianz, got to book in later to Tekong to CRAWL 75M tomorrow! Stupid right... Waste of my time... Cya guys soon!
