InItIaTiOn..

A fulfilling week.. N a fitting way to end e week..

Demolition's e word for e week man.. Theory n practical lessons all packed in three days.. n tt's only e basic.. Nvr imagined act having notes n sitting in e auditorium listening to my CSM, juz like in JC lecture hall.. (Dozing off was another common thing too haha..)

Field training at e soccer field turened into a disaster due to our lack of seriousness.. Crawled up n down e field, plus all e static pts.. Sheesh.. E sandcans in our SBOs did little to help too..

5 km soc in green fatigue yesterday morning.. Damn shagged man.. Wonder how i'm gonna pass it in skeleton battle oreder.. Not to mention e possibility of carrying e much heavier SAR21..

N e finale today.. "Initiation" as e instructors call it.. But another term would be major turnout i guessed.. Rude awakening at 3am, den had to change to FBO in 5 min.. With e bunk already turned upside down, inside out.. Had to layout all e equipment in e parade square, n at anytime we were moving slow, static pt came.. Lot's of teamwork n sweat came into play though, which was quite encouraging..

Tt was only stage one.. Stage 2 required us to fire lift our buddies ard e soccer field, den it was leopard crawling up n down e field again.. Luckily time constrains did not allow e instructors to play with us more, n we proceeded to e 3rd stage.. Taken to some unfamiliar place, given casualities,(in e form of jerry cans), n we were required to fast march back to camp.. this wasn't so bad, as everyone were basically fighting to carry e stretchers act..

N e ending point? Commando jetty.. N e reward for our efforts? our jungle hats, finally.. Though i can't really say tt we went thru alot to earn it, judging from wat our instructors went thru during their turnout, but well, no one's complaining rite? Haha..

Back in camp after long weekedn.. Wel, on paper it's long, but when's a break ever long for us? Live range tmr again, SAR21 familiarisation shoot..Some sg manufactured rifle, heavy n bulky, but pretty accurate.. Think will be carrying it for soc.. Sheesh..

$14.40..n everyone juz "pao3 lu4".. sheesh.. haha not tt i mind la, it's e gameplay tt's more impt, not e cash involve ya? though it does inject more excitement in e game..n hey, we're banning mums from e game le, it's like a cheat code of sorts..

Didn't do anything much for e past week, save for e 1st day.. Live firing of LAW n M203.. their firepower ain't all tt spectacular like those saw in movies, thoug they still pack quite a punch.. Turnout came next, to set e tone for BCT.. Change parade n PT, all in full battle order.. Not to mention leopard crawling ard e company line.. "shiok man".. Didn't even had appetitie for night snack after tt..

Think i act accomplished quite a few things during e weekend.. Watched 2 movies, swam, shopped n.. Eh.. Juz enjoyed myself la.. Been so long since i've act enjoyed myself with frens, or relaxed so much.. Hehe..

Can't remember much le.. Army makes ur memory short-termed man..

PoP lOh..

Private!!

Yes, tt's wat i am gonna be in another 2 hrs' time.. Passed out juz a few hrs ago, now sitting in e comfort of my house, finally after 2 whole days of rehearsal for e parade.. At last it's all over.. Not juz e parade but e whole bmt period.. Though private isn't really a rank, it's still an achievement ya? But being one means more responsibilities.. N more training as well.. Sheesh..

It's been a slack week though.. Save for e physical tests like soc n ippt in e mornings.. After tt it's juz idling e ime away in e bunk.. So bored we got tt my section act made a chinese chess set to play with.. Another section got another idea n made a ball out of masking tapes n paper.. Thus starting e 2-on-2 tournament.. Ppl took turn doing "sentry duties" too, to allow e other to sleep in peace.. Haha..

Company's nite out on thurs at Igor's.. Boy was it exciting man.. Think some tv show covered it in its program b4.. It's a spook-themed restaurant near indoor stadium where e dinners are first led thru a trail filled with horrors, den to e dining hall where performances are held at e stage in front.. practically everything can be done there.. dance on e bench, squeeze each other's butt, whistle at e waitresses, throw up.. u get e pic? e show's very professional too.. Haha sounds like i'm advertising for dem ya? Though e food can be much better, but i guess it was a nite of fun n relaxation for all of us.. After all, u dun get to party so much in camp rite? Haha..

Getting sleepy after e hectic day.. Gotta get some rest now.. Zzzz...
