1 year older, 20 boring years
Friday booked out at 1745. Everyone was excited as this book out would be the longest due to Deepavali and Hari Raya. Earlier in the day, we had a course where to had to leopard crawl in a stimulated battlefield. Each crawl is slow and painful. This was also our last outfield. At the end of the crawl, sand could be found on our body and even in our pockets. We were also excited as we organised a bbq on thursday, our first informal meetups.
Friday night my mum , sister and I went for a dinner buffet. I wanted to try international style buffet so I suggested Parkway's Suki Sushi. The buffet consists of al carte sushis, free flow of soft drinks, oysters, prawns, unagis, dim sum, satay, cakes, ice-creams... YUMMY. Overall not bad, a large variety, nice ambience and food. The final bill was $78 for 3 of us.
Thursday reached the pit at around 1630, and quite a number were already there. Mark and Guo Liang were preparing the fire and food. We had, chicken wings, hot dogs, crabsticks, bee hoon, jelly, sweet potatoes, corns, pork chops, steaks and lots of soft drinks. Slowly the crowd came. Qian, Satu, Jonathan, Johnny, Jason and Eugene brought their girlfriends along. Around evening, PC Shaun ,PS Terence, PS Willy, SG Puan and Gabriel came. All except 2LT Shaun stayed. Sir brought along his vodka.
Well not many people knew today was my birthday as I didn't announce it, fearing being a birthday pandan cake LOL!!! But i still could not escaped their birthday surprise. As usual, they throw me into the sea, leaving me wet for the whole night. Then Jason concoted a special cocktail consisting of sprite, vodka mango and johnny walker. After the drink i felt my body burning. Then we took many photos and videos. The second wave of attack came, when Satu wanted to take photo with me, while Andy Li throw the box of ice cold water on my half naked body. MAN! i was freezing.
At around 2300 we packed up and left. Kelvin Lee , Kelvin Chong and Eugene rode here. Mark drive sir, yongda and me home. Everyone enjoyed the bbq and tonight I would be damn busy as everyone would be asking me to send them the pics.

blah blah
Start from 2 weeks ago.
Was late for book in. I had to be at Pasir Ris at 2030, but at 1900 I am still outside not yet had my dinner and change my uniform. Luckily Timothy was there to drive me.
The following Monday morning, I was being chosen to be platoon ic. Whats a platoon ic, well its one of the recruits receiving and conveying the orders/ instructions to his fellow mates. He is also to maintain the discipline of the platoon. In short SAI GANG, because you will be pumping almost everytime hahaha.
First day was fine, but on the next day during the bunk inspection I was punished as i reported late to my sergant SIANZ. During my control, our PS discovered many things and we were supposed to receive 3 weeks confinement as a punishment.
The following week, I was attached to Alpha company for an outfield test to test whether you have leadership skills to go command school. In short this test s trying to prove, "Shag cannot think is it"!. You will be very tired during the 3 days of test. Well in managed to pass all the missions and did not fallout, however did not perform well and impressed the accessor.
After my outfield test, the next day was digging own grave. ??? What is digging own grave, you are to dig a hole in the ground to hide yourself from enemies. 2 types of hole. 1 for yourself and another working in a section. The weather was extreme, and i was perspiring like a waterfall. At the end of the session, many people could not endure , fall out and rushed to the medical centre.
That friday was the earliest book out we had, 1645 fastcraft. The next day we had a school run, where all the companies would be running together at Marina South. First time seeing so many botaks boarding the train wearing civilian clothes. At around 0800 the run started and we ran in company level. After the run, we had refreshment like puffs and bananas. Then had games like, soccer, captain ball, frisbee or even childhood games Pepsi COla 123 haha. While me and my other friends laze around. At 1000 we left Marina south and went back with Kai.
Reached home, did some stuffs and left for Bugis to send my PHONE FOR REPAIR the second time. AFter that went to collect my stuff from Timothy and meet my friend at SLS. Been ages since i been to SLS, crowded as usual want to buy everything but got $0. At around 1700 meet my mum and sister for dinner. We had dinner at Suntec.
Finally less than a month to POP, no need to come back this Island, unless I am posted to SISPEC quite impossible or as a storeman here. Over 10 weeks as a recruit here, time for us to relax and time for us to be serious. Though in outfield you get dirty and smelly you can feel the brotherlyhood. --> Got such a word?? Few more weeks and we would be separated, from strangers coming from different background until now buddies sleeping ,bathing and being punished together.

SIBEI SIAN ARG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This week book out Saturday morning. Was supposed to visit SISPEC, however the staff were not prepared, so we went back to company. There was a tonner accident and a helicopter was used to evacuate 2 casualties. This is the first time seeing a helicopter landing at the stadium. All the recruits were looking at it, the downwash from the spinning is very strong and you can see a small typhoon caused by the sand and stones.
Completed a 6km route march past SISPEC, that march is sibei shiong I wonder 6km and beyond how.
This morning we had SOC. My section mate sprained his ankle during the jump and I had to replace him for weekend guard duty.
Tonight 11pm must book in again damn sad.
This coming week sit test. Going to march there a total of 8km with a field pack containing ration, sbo and rifle. 3 days powder bathe again SIANZ ARG!!!.
