Finally, 9 weeks had passed by in a blink of an eye.
I will say I left Tekong with mixed feelings. I felt really really happy to leave that island as a recruit, knowing that I won't be going back to that place, at least for 2 months. But it's really sad to leave that place too.
Strangers became friends, Ladang Ave became my second home.
I'm glad that I've made some really good friends in there. The people, including the commanders, around me are nice, except for one (I guess you guys know who he is).
BMT is really a good life time experience. For mine, I will say it's almost perfect. I will never forget the times and memories we had. Hope everyone will get the postings they want.
No doubt this is the end of our BMT, but it also marks a new beginning of a new phase of our army life.

After I POP, my best buddy, Kw, was enlisted yesterday. Coincidentally, he was also posted to Hawk Coy. And even our section commander is the same. How coincidental can that be man!
Seriously, I hope everything goes fine for him.
All the best dude.

It's Mooncake Festival today. I didn't realise it until I walked pass the park and saw the kids running around with lanterns and burning candles.
It was then I realised I didn't do that for a long time. The last time I celebrated the festival was many many years ago. I think that was when The Condor Heroes was still showing on Channel 8. That was like almost 10 years ago.
I wondered how Fang celebrated her birthday on Mooncake Festival. Hmmm hope she had a nice one.

Zk's scan results were out. He has a crucial ligament tear in his knee and needs a couple of surgeries. The doctor said it will probably take to a year for him to recover fully.
Hmmm. Hope he will recover soon. We will miss your presence on the pitch.

I learnt a couple of values in life today. Shan't talk much about it. But it certainly thought me to think better as a person.

Counting down!
I will be freed from Tekong in another 4 more days! My POP is on Wednesday. Having mixed feelings about it. I will definitely be happy to be out of that stupid island but at the same time sad that I'm going to leave my friends I knew 9 weeks ago.
Seriously, it's very hard to become friends from strangers. Though it was only 2 months, most of us bonded well.

Gonna blog about what happened this week. It really pissed me off!
There is this guy (name him A), who joined some of us to blanket some people in our section. Seeing that he joined us, all of us had the impression that he is able to take this type of fun on him if it happened on him. But seriously, we don't have any ill intentions to injure people on purpose. We only do it for fun. Like light punches and not seriously whack him till he bleed those kind.
Last Sunday, we had one on another guy (name him D) since it was his birthday. A joined in too.
On Wednesday, we planned one on A. Seriously, none of us whacked him. One guy took the blanket to cover him, 2 pressed on his hands and D and I took his legs. But he was retaliating by kicking violently. So we gave up and quickly ran back to our beds.
What shocked us the next was that A went to his buddy's bed and whacked him up. And he went out of the bunk after that. My buddy and I realised something is amiss and suspected that he may be going to complain to our commanders.
But seriously, WHAT THE FUCK MAN!
Then we quickly ran after him.
What I saw was him walking towards the direction of the officers. He told his buddy that he went up for a walk and get a drink. Fucking hell! Who on earth will put coins in his shorts before he goes to bed when he didn't even open the cupboard to take out his money?
He told us he was sick and that he will definitely be able to take the blanket if he's not sick. But fucking hell. His stories got lots of loopholes. If he was sick, why didn't he tell his buddy about it? Why did he have to whack his buddy after we ran off to our beds?
This incident was reported to our CSM and OC.
FUCK! I know we are wrong not to think of the consequences before we act. Besides, we were supposed to have SOC the next day. But seriously, we were only having fun and didn't have the intention to injure him.
I heard rumours that his mum called and complain. That's the shit that I cannot understand.
ARGH! FUCKING PISSED! MY BLOOD ALWAYS BOIL WHEN I THINK OF THIS INCIDENT.
//
Enough of those shit.
A piece of good news. I was the 2nd best in my platoon. So I hope my chances of going into OCS will be high. Hope my IPPT results and that stupid incident will not affect it.
Army life is seriously fup.

And Christabel is a really nice and cute girl. LOL!

Updates!
WOOTS! I'm back from Tekong once again. Been a very long week for me cause I was confined and I had to stay in today to redo my IPPT when others booked out at 1345 on Friday.
Had my Sit-test on Monday. Did the 12km road march. Everything was good. I kinda enjoyed the 3 days. Luckily I was not as stoned as my field camp. My peer appraisal was alright I suppose.
Then did my 16km road march right after my Sit-test. It was not as tough as the 12km march.
My IPPT was slightly better. I passed it this time round, but not very good though.
Sit up - 42
Shuttle run - 9.8s
Pull up - 12
SBJ - 216
2.4km - 9.48min
My SBJ pulled me down again. Basket every station is 5 points except for SBJ.
//
I'm damn sick now. Been coughing non stop since Sunday. My throat hurts like fuck also.
AHH! FUCK!

1 more week to POP!

My army life
In an blink of an eye, it's my 6th week in BMT already. Everything has been going on very fine so far.
I have finished my field camp, live grenade and BTP.
Field camp was alright. My rifle was being stunted (stolen by the sergeant) when I was helping my friend to refill his water bottle. How lucky I am. This explains the early book in at 0815 later on. I totally hate it man.
Live grenade wasn't as exciting as I thought.
As for BTP, I was only a shot away from being a marksman. Wasted.
Going to have my SIT test from Monday to Wednesday. Hope I will do well.
And please, let me pass my SBJ.
I did well in other stations.
Sit up - 45
Pull up - 12
Shuttle run - 5 points (I didn't see the timing)
2.4km - 9+ minutes
AHHH! If I fail my re test, I won't be able to go into command school, let alone OCS.
SIAN!
