Last Sunday was my 2nd time book in 2 tekong. Tis time more jialat father cant fetch me so got 2 take public transport. @ the same time cant pay student rate. On the way there got 1 uncle says i look more like a ncc cadet than an army recruit. Again bcoz of my height....

Tis wk everything in tekong so far so gd lar. 1st day had photo takin session n tat was the day i realised i am the shortest guy in my platoon coz got ht arrangement wan. @ 1st i tot got pple shorter than mi but i was wrong. Thus i had 2 b the centre man damn cock every1 tiltin 2 the left or right xcept 4 me n those PCs OCs n Sgts. Onli my plt sgt understand my situation coz he last time oso centre man.

Den tis wk oso hav IMT trainin in which we go practice usin m16 shootin by usin some advanced technology 2 simulate the live range shootin. Damn sian 1st lesson cock up like hell. My 1st grpin super jialat until plt sgt keep scoldin mi. Subsequently in the midst of his scoldin i improve a bit but in the last shoot my dots was like 1 30cm ruler wide. Tis time he scolds mi until i feel i damn useless. But heng in the nxt few lessons in the wk i improved n my eyes wont blur easily so end up my shoot @ snap n delibrate tgt score quite gd. Tis wk oso got tactical handlin test in which evey1 will surely pass wan.

Tis wk the PCs n Sgts begin 2 implement punishments on us. But still ok lar the punishment nt so unreasonable oso. Last time kenna ya ya papaya tis wk i say wah den muz shout out ah ah ah pa 4 10 times wif other pple who responds "ah!". Den we hav 2 ask permission 2 entertain the whole platoon. In addition, when we ask 4 permission 2 carry on wif our push up punishment, we muz say: "permission 2 keep fit sgt!" Damn cock. Ha anw tis wk we no need 2 do the 7 core values 4 our water parade coz orion 2 got new cheer.

Chui da chui da sibei chui da
Khor wa ji buai
pepsi cola
Ta!

Tis wk did a run thru the entire SOC. Heng didnt encounter much difficulty xcept 4 lo-rope. I use arm strength 2 go up but my sgts keep insistin me 2 redo usin the std method. End up do 5 times still consider fail despite i touch the top. Wah lao sibei du lan! Super sian everytime go dwn the jaccob ladder part always cock up n got once i almost fell den can gd bye 2 father day. Super suay did the monkey bar until hand got blister but hav 2 endure pain n continue. Tat day realise SOC nt s easy s i tot somemore i short which is a disadvantage 4 some obstacles. Got 2 improve my combat fitness more.

B4 bkin out, we went 2 throw dummy grenade 2 simulate the live grenade throwin nxt wk. Tis wk almost everyday will do chinup or buddha clap. Our PT starts 2 increase liao. Soon AGR timmin will increase n 30:60 will bcome 60:120. Pple i can assure once u go 2 the right company in tekong u definitely can bcome fit n get ure 6 or 8 pacs.

Tis wk oso had my army career interview. In the end i sort of made it wif my bunk mate so tis comin fri got 2 go 4 health screenin which means i will miss my IPPT test. Super sian got 2 make up which means 1 of the sat i may hav 2 book out late. Nxt wk will b quite hectic goin 2 hav 7 days field camp plus BIC plus live grenade throwin. Hopefully can treat the field camp like the ubin camp i had last time n dun end up blastin me n the safety officer wif the grenade. Haha!
Kk pple happi chinese new yr. 祝你们身体健康，狗年行大运!

Pai sei tis blog is goin 2 b long. Tat day haji evenin i sort of had mixed feelin. I was lookin 4ward 2 go back 2 tekong 4 trning. But @ the same time, i felt tat the book out was 2 short n i still missed my civilian life abit. Ha no matter still muz go pasir ris bus interchange 2 report.

Soon, find myself in tekong with my field pack clear out 4 inspection. Tis time brought hello panda biscuits n mentos 2 sort of satisfy my need 4 supper. i realli anticipated my nxt 10 days trnin. The 1st 2 days trngin super fun n shiok sia. But my nightmare happened on the third day. My left knee had sort of givin mi probs since jc. Tat day after my ippt test, my knee cant take it, endin up mi havin an excruciatin pain n got 2 go medical centre. Despite tat, i failed my shuttle run lar bcoz i slipped n fell n bcoz of the knee. Hweva there is things 4 me 2 happy abt coz my chinup, 2.4 n situp did much more than i expected. Ha SBJ still nt bad passed.

Sigh in the end i had 1 wk excuse frm RMJ(runnin march jumpin). @ 1st i tot it was ok lar 2 rest my knee. But frm the second day onwards, i was damn sian n depressed. Everyday c pple runnin, doin PT n footdrill while i cannot do. The feelin is realli veri jialat. @ the same time i oso missed 4km n 6km road march which is like trekkin wif loads n rifle. Super sian. Some of the days i waked up den whole day eat meals n attend lect n tat's all. Tis type of life in tekong realli veri horrible. Pple do PT while i will b asked 2 watch, b waterboy, toilet cleaner or cleaner. Liddat realli 度日如年. Damn sad! @ the same time, i realli scare the sergeants label mi s chao geng kia n lower my chance 2 go commandin sch.

Heng my sergeants allow mi 2 do upper body PT durin some trnin. Sian after 4 days still pain so the sergeants suggested mi 2 go c doc when i booked out. But heng on the last 2 days of RMJ i sort of nt so pain liao n sort of get involved in PT again. Eventually left wif 2 days 2 book out day n i can participate in all the activities again. I was realli veri happi despite losin my voice yet again. Swimmin, 30:60, CPT, movement drill, ST n footdrill i can do liao. The first PT since i injured the feelin is realli like damn shiok! Kk lar u all may tik i siao liao or garang freak!

But the 10 days nt bad. Got 2 noe alot of my platoon mates n bunk mates well. Learnt alot of army marchin songs which r veri nice n some r those dirty type. Ha den everytime i go bunk sing the geylang song until they tik i sick ar. Den my bunkmates kept sayin i goin 2 chiong geylang durin my bkout n tat kz told them nt 2 share stuffs wif mi coz i might spread STD 2 them. Ha damn cock lar they say i filthy minded they oso got tok abt such things. Ha the RMJ realli made mi show them my true col sia. Ha nw both aaron n kz realli scared of mi takin out the rifle sling, ET sticks n basha sticks n dropped their soaps on the floor when they r bathin. Overall, my bunkmates r damn fun n cooperative n everyday wif them is enjoyable n realli got a lot of cocks 2 tok!

Bside i oso get 2 noe alv's bunk mates alot n sometime join them 4 their tok cock session until they said i bcome their spy liao. His bunk realli got alot of nicknames lar all the king, queen n 老夫子. They even got Leonard Fan Club(1 of our sgts) . They even modify songs 4 Sgt Leonard damn cock n funny. Damn heng 2 hav such neighbours bside my bunks. 4 the 2 bunks, oso noe most of the pple liao. Ha most of them oso same freq s mi. Overall most of my platoon mates r veri cooperative n some of them even console mi durin my RMJ period. I oso got 2 noe my sgts well liao durin the RMJ period. Most funny is Sgt Leonard. He can realli cock wif us n got once he saw mi standin @ 1 side while doin PT so he came 2 mi n console mi wif tat type of cock face. Sgt Khamil, Sgt Aimran, Plt Sgt Wong all treat us veri well despite they can b strict. So far so gd 4 Orion PLT 2. Wif such gd life in Tekong i dun tik i will b homesick n will b overcome by sickness n fatigue easily but still i will miss my family n frens.

Nxt wk i got interview 4 the vacancy of combat specialist, guards officer n infantry officer since i dunno whether i can get in2 OCS. If the officer application is successful, i can sign on wif the army n get LSA 4 my uni study. But the priority is gettin the officer or specialist post rather than the scholarship. All in all, the interview is nt s impt s my BMT trngin period in whcih i will b accessed whether i can go in2 commandin sch. 4 Nw juz hope tat i can b well prepared 4 my interviews n dun screw them up. Anw thruout the remainin BMT phase i got 2 c whether the army lifestyle s a career is realli my passion n whether it will b interestin despite of the sacrifices i hav 2 make.

2day is our book out day. Every1 was feelin high on the ferry n bus. Ha my bunkmates all kept kbin tat i will go geylang 2nite. Instead, i went 2 c chi sinseh 2 sort of treat my knees abit nw shld b ok liao ba. Kk 2 long liao time 2 end liao. Those in BMTC hang in there. U all confirm can excel in it wan. Those haven gone in better go n train or else u will definitely suffer in army. Those wrkin hope tat u all hav a pleasant wrkin exp. Hopefully can spend a few days of my 6days chi new yr hol 2 go out wif u all. Pple take care!

My bunk mates nt bad lar all willing 2 help one another summore got andy who is from sajc. Tat boon keng everytime kb mi but nvm i can oso kb abt his name.

I go toilet urine he oso go toilet urine @ the same time. So he decided 2 call mi his urine buddy. My platoon sergeants, PC n sergeants oso nt bad. Ha our CSM oso another joker n when u c him, u wont even tik tat he is in charge of discipline.

These few days learn footdrill, army dresscode, SBO n helmet assemblin, gun drill.... Until nw sian my berhati still suck got 2 practice abit more. PT lesson still ok lar. Bcome the corridor IC n barrack damage 2nd IC. Say slack is slack lar but still got quite a no of stuffs 2 d0 n responsibilities. The food there nt bad well balanced lar. But dunno y i like suffered frm constipation 4 3 days until 2day reach hme den can shit.

In army, when sergeants ask u qns, always dun reply by 1 word like ya, hor, ar.... or else u can end up like mi go 2 a place 2 shout ya ya papaya loudly. Tik abt tis still makes mi laff. Machaim tongue twister. My platoon IC lagi the best sia. Check strength he go n say," Orion 2 check pwr!" Upon hearin tat, despite all of us r diam n in sedia pos, we cant stop laffin includin those sergeants. His helmet so camo net den other platoon sergeants c him den keep askin our platoon sergeant hw come our platoon got 1 person frm 1st guard or 3rd guard battalion. Laff until we buay tahan. But the worst is nt him. Got another person frm another platoon more zai. when his P.Serg asks him where is his IC(in-charge) is, he took out his NRIC card n shw the P.Serg. Damn joke. Pple in sedia n diam position oso cant resist n laff out loud.
