Somehow, time outside of camp is always never enuf.. read this in a book, '' time, a strange thing. it weighs most on those who have it least..'' These 3 days of freedom went past like real fast.. and tt 11 days that i had to wait felt like eternity..

Zzz.. going back to camp again..haizz. I have this theory abt life in the army..there are landmines everyday waiting for you to step on.. you can practice caution but you gonna meet one someday, you can never be sure your day will go past safely until you are slping. Last week went past quite normally, but the whole group of us stepped on a few landmines.. Those instructors they are pretty gd at controlling their temper lol, they can keep mum for the whole day den night time den they unleash their fury..Due to tt reason.. i have to go back camp 2 hrs earlier!.. 5pm.. so early.. haizz

Anyway, quite enjoyed this few days out though got times quite frustrating, haha went out to eat marche, played some mahjong, watch lots of tv..haha and one more thing, eat and slept a lot too haha. Shall start planning for wat to do during next long weekend during labour day..haha

Ciao.

Attempt to change my blogskin, but i am a slow worker, still got lots more stuffs to work on haha.

Leaving in about another hr for 2 weeks haizz..

Anyway shall continue with my 'to be continued..' lol that has been there for quite a time.

On the day of passing out, quite a lot of stuffs happened, firstly we did the final touch up to the place we had lived in for the past 10 weeks. Upon completion, we changed to our smart no.4 (supposedly the uniform in the best condition).. to realise that we are to help carry the refreshments to the parade square, imagine carrying a carton full of stuffs together with 2 bags which containing all our belongings.. by the time we are done, my uniform is soaked and the paper carton actually also got wet and the paper fragments stuck to my uniform.. so goes my 'best' uniform..

When the parade finally begin, we stepped our platform and begin our 'show' with whatever we had..

However.. halfway, the parade commander( the guy giving the commands ) he sort of screwed up and gave the wrong command, luckily no one noticed but i heard he was made to do a week of extra duties. lol. Another thing which happened was that during the portion where we had to stand and keep still for a while, i saw the audience pointing to some of those standing and heard stuffs like ''look, look''. Common sense would says that someone had fainted.. quite a shame realli since nth like this happen the parade on the day b4.

Lastly.. this happened to me.. the part the parents were supposed to put the caps on for their child.. i realise i lost mine..ahhh panic.. luckily i borrowed a cap from those on duties though it was a size too small, but heck better than being the only bald head standing among the sea of green. This can be seen from the photos lol.

Tts all for now, as can be seen the template aint tt complete yet, shall touch up the nxt time..

Pop yest.. haha gone is rec neiw, to replace him is private neiw..

Shall start with the events on 7 mar..

It was a hot and sunny day..haha lame, anyway tt morn we had basic assault course. Basically, it is the final lesson of our basic close combat training, we were supposed to go outfield and practice our strokes on dummies. Due to the unfortunate or fortunate thing tt our graduation is the day after.. we need not wear our sbo when doing it haha, somehow even the mud bath we were supposed to hv was gone ( other companies supposedly used lots and lots of water to prepare a 'luxurous' mud bath for the recruits crawling through ). So it was pretty easy getting through the course.. but we were still pretty shagged upon its completion.

Almost immediately after bac.. we had BMTC SCH 1 GAMES DAY!!! And yours humbly, was given the chance of participating.. haha long time since i took part in such event, last time was during pri sch, when i joined the prefect race ( now tt i think of it, these 2 events are almost similar, lol). Anyway, the game i joined is the Transformers.. (robots in disguise..haha.. this is wat those who heard it replied, are you?). In it, we were bound in pairs by our legs and had to go and dress up a model from pt kit to army uni with full sbo. After lots of hard work and short cuts here and there, we were pretty confident. ( The joker, a token which a company can used to raise the stakes was placed on us.) For the first 2 pair ( i am the sec, ^-'), we totally owned the race, we were done with our sec pair when others still on their first.. Yet luck was not with us.. the timer was somehow a #$%#^, he had us redo the boots which took away precious time and for the fourth pair, their knot came loose, and they had to retie it.. So in the end, we lost and emerged sec losing, 2 pts for not making it first and 20 for the joker. This 22 pts if not lost, could hv got us a overall sec and not a miserable 4th among all the enhanced batch..

Tt night we had a mini party, after a long time cleaning our bunks, removing all the dust behind the cupboards and stuffs. During the party, we basically eat and eat and drink and drink..haha. Chips, Oreos, crackers, twisties, 7up, pepsi, f&n orange... all of these went down our throat.. It is fortunate tt we din fall ill the nxt day..haha

to be continued...

6 weeks gone.. 3 weeks more to go..

Firstly, a happy v day to all haha..

Hmm, quite a lot of stuffs happened this week.. my first and maybe only grenade throw ( which occured on valentine, 14/2..haha..sianz.. ), den my sitest, a 3 days outfield in which we were divided into groups and given missions for us to do to judge our capabilities..

Grenade throw..haha i was pretty afraid to be frank.. some of the stories i heard was pretty gross, a recruit's grenade slipped out of his hand and he was like freaked out, the commander in charge immediately took action and pushed him out of the bay and sort of shield him.. in the end the recruit was not hurt but the commander got a hole blown in him in the chest area..yeah stuffs like this.. so when i received my grenade and placed it in my 'utility belt', i was pretty afraid it would juz blow up..haha. The explosion was loud, when i first heard it, was pretty shocked. Luckily my throw went pretty well, though my head was quite empty den ( there were some farnie stories though, like some of them threw it so near tt they literally got their ass kicked). Quite glad this episode of my life is over, though it was pretty exciting.

Haizz, guess my dreams of being an officer may be over.. i sorta screwed up my sitest( situation test), the mission i was in charge of din proceed as well as i thot..so sayonara to being called sir..haha

Realised i missed out some details of field camp, cooking haha, we had field cooking which was quite fun. The combat rations( those green packets ) taste much better when cooked over a proper flame than when eating from the packet, there were things like pasta with shredded chicken, dried shrimp glutinous rice. The desserts were better in my point of view, there is a peanut paste dessert which actually tasted like those you can buy cos the main course were sorta minced up. The commanders even showed us how to concoct a s**t mixture, lol, add some water, milo mix and the packets of biscuits (these biscuits absorb water very well, so if tired of them, add some water and tada, you have sponge cake). Anyway, cook the mixture over fire till it is a bit dry and it is ready to be served, though it looks really disgusting.. it taste pretty good.

There is also fireflies in tekong lol, din realised singapore still has them, saw them during the night walk, spectacular, to hv small lights decorating the sides of the roads. One last pt to make, as the former president of the Astronomy Club of Njc.. haha, the night sky in tekong is beautiful, maybe cos of the minimal lights, possible to see stars i din see b4 in singapore, perhaps cos of nth to do at night, so i tend to gaze up more..haha. But the sky is like so wasted there, no one to appreciate it with..haha

Yup, think tt is all, hope a lvl results dun come out so soon..haha i aint prepared yet..cya soon

came back from field camp..haha 6 1/2 days of ''resort'', quite relaxing haha, other than the part abt always being dirty and the trying to control my 'load'.

started off the first day with the 8 km route march to the rubber plantation den build our basha which wasn't properly aligned, quite slanted but my commanders quite nice..no i rephrase very nice..haha juz told us to sorta take our time to adjust them without giving time limit, cant rmb wat i did tt day, dun think it is anything strenous ( think we learned how to put on camo and camouflage ourselves )( learnt an interesting term for those who din camo their lips properly 'hey i can see your 'cb' lips ) had quite a gd nite slp tt night.. no mosquitoes.. nth except for tt root sticking my my back but still bearable.

the nxt few days were similar.. lessons in the morn and practical at the afternoon. One thing i muz mentioned, whoever invented the prickly heat powder is a genius, somehow you can really go without a shower after using it, the body feels refreshed after it tts how i survived my 7 days..haha ( but hey if you can shower go shower..) field camp really gets you to appreciate stuffs, water, fresh food, having a proper bed.

the technical break was long awaited, haha half day rest and a wipe( i wun say bath with only like 1-2 litres of water). We slept in a sch 40 over ppl in the room, everyone was lying side by side, cosy..lol. the place was also where i released my load ( intended to bear for tt seven days... but realli cannot control... yesh this part is quite disgusting..haha)

the last 2 nights were somehow less fun..the first night i quite feeling stomach upset and i dropped my specs on the way to ans nature's call.. found it only the nxt morn.. due to all these reasons, only slept for abt 4 hrs b4 we had to pack up and leave.

The nxt day was trench digging, had to dig a man-sized hole.. it may not sound difficult, but trust me it aint tt easy, took me 4 hrs cos din noe the right technique( if done properly and by experienced guys, it will take only 45 mins...lol, my timing is so far off) My rifle also kana stolen by my sgr, luckily like i said, they were v nice, only made me do guard duty which was slack haha, was resting half the time and drinking syrup and eating the goodies from the accessory pack( tuna spread, biscuits, fruit bars). Thot could hv at least my 4-5 hrs of slp since we leaving early the nxt day.. but when i lie down in the pit... i could hear a mosquito every 5 mins or so... really can drive a person mad..i doubt i slept more than an hr, somemore i needed to wake at 4 to start filling the pit.. haha but i can assure mine is slack only the last day is complainable. yup tts it.. so at the end, i was left with minutes scars on my hands and elbows from contact with sand and a lot a lot of dirty clothes..haha
