Graduation BMTC1- 6 Dec 2006
Woah! Exactly 1month, I am back to blog about my life...
Well, what more could I say ?
Hahaz...I just graduated from Basic Military School 1! No longer a RECRUIT with a BOTAK head...but a PRIVATE rank soldier... MmmMz...time flies, remembering my 9weeks of XIONG training that really shag me out! Thinking back of the good old times with my platoon mates...kind of miss them! JOKERs, SAI-KANG warriors, GARANG Kings, Chou-KenG warriors & so on! Taking a week off till 17 Dec...before heading back to a new unit... wonder if I qualify for Officer Cadet School...??? I hope I could get in! Yeah...
Last Friday, Zhiyi & I send another gd old time buddy since secondary school to be enlisted for Full Time National Service-man....Looking at him, sitting in the auditorium reminds me of the same situation on 7 Oct. Dad & Mum send me off to Tekong & witnessed the oath I took to protect Singapore (our homeland) at all cost... That is the day, I become a MAN no longer a young boy... I have a responsibility as a citizen of Singapore...
The day althought was sad (lost of freedom) but it is a new journey in life... after lunch I bid farewell like SAM did to his mum...the teary eyes of my mother & the coolness of my dad tells me, they will miss me...time & time they repeatedly said to me that "I MUST TAKE GD CARE" ...& I replied "YAH I KNOW" ...byebye was the last thing that came out...
Off they went back to mainland & I was left behind with the SERGEANTS... training started the very moment...dashing around to get things done...& it lasted for 9weeks...time was an issue (sense of urgency)...but we still made it! Training was progressive & intensive for us...the meals that we had everyday couldn't fill up the growling stomach of the soldiers. Hence we lost weight..FATS burned !
I must say at times the training were both mentally & physically torturing...road marches & SOC to be completed...both demanding...but still I managed to survive through it...there were many happenings ...the jokes the sorrows we shared together...had made us a better person to be... a recruit to a private & later to ...all I must say is "we earn our way with blood & sweat"...
anyway rather late ....now is like 3.15am in the morning...shall continue blogging tomorrow...with photos...take care my friends...stay tuned for my blog... thanks ! Oh Yah ...lets hope SAM lose weight! hahaha!
