Counting down

9 more days and I’ll pass out from Tekong. Frankly speaking, I wanted to become an infantry. But too bad, for my PES status it’s definitately a no no for me. Probably I would become a service crew, be it service medic, clerk or storeman. Hopefully I won’t get a low life job like such.

Airforce school would be good, with the fact that Changi Airbase is so near, and the furthest being at Paya Labar.

And most importantly, I hope I’ll get into specialist. At least I’ll get a Sgt. (=

Impressive!

Unbelievable, I’ve lost 5kg over the last 5 weeks in BMT. I’ve already find training real slack, and yet I’ve manage to lost weight.

If i were in PES A or B I would have reduced to bones already.

It’s time to move on

When people move on in life, some of us have the tendency to live in our past. We clinch on to our old self and behavior, afraid of moving moving and facing new challenges, and the worse thing of all, did not grow up at all. We find that things are better and happier in the past, and so we do not open our heart.

However, reality isn’t that naive. We have to learn to let go of things so that we can take in new stuffs. Things that doesn’t benefits you at all will be better if it is forgotten. There are many choices in life, and it’s the path that you choose determines how easy or difficult you want your life to be, and how you want your life to be.

So how should we live our life to the fullest?
There can be only one word: Happy

1 more week plus to go

;

Finally, the so called ‘tough week’ is over. It was a confinement week because our live firing happens to falls on a Sun, and that week was our field camp week, 2 weeks of confinement. I don’t really feel a big deal for PES C field camp, except that we are able to return to our bunks and sleep for the night, thanks to my PES status. PES C training is so so slack.

I did pretty well for my live firing, getting 30 out of 32 total shots and gotten a marksman. Big deal? Not really. I thought i might be able to add a ‘SAR21″ logo on my number 4, which turns out not possible unless we go through the advanced training package, a more advance kind of live firing. For PES C, don’t even bother to dream of it. Period

If someone were to ask me if there is anything that i love about Tekong, i would say it’s the sunset. Trust me, sunset in Tekong is exceptionally beautiful, and you can’t find such sight anywhere in Singapore. Thank God, I can have a clear view of sunset right outside of my bunk.

1 week plus to go and I’m out of Tekong. Seriously, Tekong is like a jail. I feel that even those sergeants are also getting sick staying in Tekong, not to say for those Officers too. Too bad

When you are in army, you feel that study is better.
When you are studying, you feel that working is better.
When you are working, studying is better.
And is fact is, none feels that army is better.

sick and tired

I thought it’s a new hope and beginning, but it went back to square one again.

Being a sitting duck is not always a bad thing actually, depending on the situation and what you are dealing with. I’m quite tired of being “active”, and it’s time for me to go “passive”. The waiting is simply too long, and I’m running out of patience.

Maybe Lady Luck is not on my side.

I think i should stop trying anymore, because I’m sick and tired already.

Period.

Grenade!

The best part of being in army is probably the throwing of grenade and firing of our weapon. I’ve finish throwing mine, and it’s damn shiok when i releases the grenade into the air + the shockwave and explosion which comes after that. We had a blind in my batch, and we had this lomo guy which is responsible to setting off blinds with C4 explosive to go and set off  the grenade. Gosh, C4 shockwave was 2x grenade, and the grenade + C4 exploded at the same time. Song bo!

My platoon is still as f*** up as usual, but then again i see some improvement. OC and recruits night coming up and we had to perform a couple of items, which is quite a difficult task for a f*** up and un-united platoon.

Last weekend of freedom, and i will be confine for the next 2 weeks for field camp and live firing.

Wish me luck =)

back from confinement week

I’m glad that we had a good OC, because he cancelled our Sat trainings and push some forward into the weekdays. And so we manage to book out on Friday where as Whiskey and Viper had to book out on Sat =).

I really like my section, but definitely not my platoon. Thanks to those irritating malays and some chao ah bengs who likes to disturb people if the opportunity comes. They are very self centered and bossy, likes ordering people around but hates being ordered around by us. Crap.

I think I’m pretty weak, down with a fever 5 days after i book in, and fell sick yesterday night right after i book out. This really makes me think whether should I up PES to go into A or B, and rethink again if i should go into a combat unit.

5 more weeks to go and I’m out of tekong. Wish me luck

Most people in PES C are farked up.
