First 2 week..

yeap.. finally book out from tekong after 2 week over there.. during that 2 weeks i got to knows alot of friends, bunkmates and also platoon mates.. happy to say that i am able to get along with them quite well.. but it only the 1st 2wk.. =)

When i reach tekong the places doesn't seem to be like a training camp.. it look more like those secondary school located in any of the HDB estate but ofcos of a much much bigger version of it..
The 1st thing when i reach there is to be apart from my family which they were brought around by those officers. i went up to receive my 11B ID tag.. blah blah blah.. After that watch a video then wait for awhile before went into the auditorium to listen to some speech by those big shot.. haiz it just boring.. after that met up with my family again and had our dinner in foodhouse 2. the food was nice like any of those foodcourt mixed rice. after that my family and i went our separate way and a new chapter of my life has began.

Hmm.. waited for awhile and the sergeant brought us to this parade square.. Wow.. is was like damn ******* big. about 2 football field? or maybe slightly smaller bah.. haha.. Over there they told us which platoon we belong to.. and we slowly walk to our company block. took our field bag and duffel bag.. oh man it was so heavy. Inside those 2 bags contains alot of army stuff. think add up got arn 20kg.. anway i'm man enough to carry it.. haha.. when reach there had a $2 haircut or should i say hairshave?? the first time that my hair was so short.. can't stop touching it.. haha.. abt an hour later my platoon was told that we be staying at the highest floor(5th). KNS at that moment it was like "wah lau" confirm legs get tired easily one.. but if think on the positive side, it is actually gd cos it allows me to improve my standing board jump.. not bad ar.. Oh ya.. i was assign as bunk cleaner.. heng sia.. not so sway like melvin and qujie where they have to be toilet cleaner for the rest of PTP and BMT.. lolz.. then when making our way up, there was this guy who is very small size having problem carrying his stuff cos the 20kg++ load was really very heavy.. hmm.. so i help him lor.. hehe.. when to the bunk wow unexpected.. so big and the environment is gd.. good view. can see airplane, shore, and those hilly forest. hardly get to know anyone on the 1st day.. so just unpack my stuff put it inside the cupboard and sleep lor.. sleep? hard sia.. cos 1st night mah.. so arn 2+ then i manage to sleep. sianz that how the 1st day ended.. oh ya.. dunno why tekong bird very hyper active at night. Non stop chipping so noisy hard to sleep..

For the next few day is basically going for lectures, having some briefing and also our fav. admin time.. cos admin time is the time where we are able to relac and chat with our bunkmates get to know each other better.. and also sleep.. =x we were taught doing the 10 combat exercises. erm to me abit not very useful leh.. but bo bian.. only can suck thumb..

on the 4th day, is my 1st time wearing the No4 uniform.. cool man.. keep staring at the mirror till it was almost crack.. So smart so "man-ly" look.. haha.. then for the next fews day we do our foot drills, exercises, talk cock session blah blah blah.. it was on the 5th day that we actually know the names of one other (bunkmates).. haha.. get to know people from across the island.. ofcos i'm the most xinfu de cos i stay abt 400m away from pasir ris interchange.. haha poor kevin.. all the way in boon lay. then we also had our 1sr route march.. with SBO and helmet.. 3km only.. so was kinda relac.. no sweat..! =)

Haiz.. talking abt foods.. aiyo actually is very nice.. but hor imagine everyday lunch and dinner u get chicken and rice plus two other dishes.. puke.. makes me real sick. then we have to do survey on the food.. what to do.. just out ok lor.. it won't be nice for me to put lousy.. erm oh ya.. somemore we must do pull up before lunch and dinner.. haha.. the SAF cares alot abt pull up one.. my sergeant said that even when u are in the jungle you still be able to see pull up bar haha..

On the 18 june, it is the day where i feel really KO.. Knock Out!! the night before i was having fever and stomachache.. hardly get anye sleep.. so next day wake up feeling headache like those drunk drunk feeling.. guess is lack of sleep bah.. when going for breakfast i was still be able to hold on the pain.. some more on the day itself we got a IPPT trial test where the instructors will be able to know our standard.. i was so excited but with the pain in my head.. haiz.. while having breakfast Gary aka birdman notice that i was feeling unwell so he ask me to go and see MO.. then i told him i dun want to cos the headache is due to lack of sleep.. later MO say i maligering (c keng) how sia..
that moment was still alright untill when we are back in our bunk and had stand-by-area(room inspection).. sergeant came and we have to stand at attention.. suddenly a very powerful pain struck my head.. i couldn't take it.. it was really the most painful headache in my life so far.. i bend down and tear start coming out from my eyes.. then i quickly rush back to the room and sit on the chair.. bloody hell.. very painful lor.. wipe my tear then my room IC David and buddy Alan go and inform the sergeant.. wah lau.. the section 4 people knows that i cry sia.. lolz.. so malu.. who cares it was ******* painful and i can't be bother with anything else.. went to platoon office and sleep.. arn 8+ the COS bring me to see the MO.. haiz.. got 2days att B (light duty aka doing sai kang) + 1day 0% total = 3 days sianz.. can't join them for route march and doing those running.. it was sian then you will feel mentally tired cos u only can sit down and watch what the other are doing..

On Tue finally back in training with the rest.. was able to do running, exercise and route march using dummy rifle with the rest.. haha.. felt so gd..

Everyone was feeling very excited cos it soon gonna be our book out day.. haha.. one our 1st week those stupid Obese guys keep singing book out song infront of us.. ta ma de.. finally it our time to sing le.. bacially for the rest of the 2nd week we were doing exercises, running, strength training and stand by area.. oh ya.. KC fell down from staircase and landed on his back.. went to see MO KNN got 7 days of att B where his back was unhurt and only with a small bruise nia haha maligering?? ofcos not la.. land on back leh.. how to keng u tell me.. bad for him la gonna miss lots of training..

Finally on Fri 24 june was our book out day.. this is the day where all of us have been looking forward to.. haha.. smile and laughing all the way even though the training in the morning was really tiring.. lolz.. BOOK OUT BOOK OUT DAY..!!!

Last Day of...Civilian life..

Wow.. abt 18 hrs more, i'll be living a new life.. spending most of my 3 months life in Tekong.. Really feeling pretty excited right now.. can't imagine..!!

Hmm.. last night we had a farwell BBQ and steamboat at dage house.. espically for me and shi long.. haha.. just a mini garthering where we talked abt you jin's BMT life and all those stupid bird language.. played X-boX and mahjong and indeed a night where we enjoy ourselves the most.. Just wondering when will be the next bbq.. After the X-boX and mahjong session, khai yau and Youjin came over to my house and sleep.. then when we woke up we went to white sand foodcourt and had our lunch.. haiz.. the beef noodle aunty off-form again leh.. Sometime her noodle very nice while some r like... erMm.. but thank god today one still not that bad but it is not the best.. heehee..

Today youjin and i intend to go Hougang Gym.. Cos it been quite awhile since both of us went there.. in the end youjin said he will be quite rush cos he have to meet his NS buddies at bishan.. so went cycling with my cousin and also bring my road bike for service.. the gear abit funny so went to schcycle.. at that shop saw this small timer clock which is able to take down the distance you travel and your current speed.. it cool.. like a car speedometer.. the cheapest one is only $45. Those more "pro-er" ones cost a few hundreds.. haha.. think when i book out, i'll get one for myself.. the $45 de..

Some of my poly classmates are already inside tekong liao.. haha don't know if i'll be able to see them sia.. think if we see each other it will be kinda weird cos it the 1st time we see each other BotAk.. lolz.. everyday gonna see thousands of different monks.. hmm.. imagine there are people who look like each other, when they see each other it seems like they are looking at their own reflection..

Tonight i gonna stay up late and sleep well.. hahaa.. will definitly miss my bed.. OhhYAh.. LateR got Wo Cai.. GuesS gUess GuEss.. miSs quite a number of week le.. cos keep forgeting to watch.. hmm.. still be able to see my dream girl on Tv on the Last day of my Civilian life.. Yang Chen Lin..!! Jia You!!

Testing testing..

Testing testing..!! 1 2 3.. haha.. Finally got my very own blog.. i wan to have this blog is because i feel like writing down things regarding my NS life which begin in about like.. erm 3 days times?? hmm... ya 3 DAYS.. Gosh.. Fast..!! but i can't wait any longer.. Don't know what exactly it feel like been in there.. Anyway.. just went to buy stuff for BBQ at dage house.. we been having BBQ at his corridor like for dunno how many times le and seem like it is a "must" thing once every few months. But tmr food will be slightly different from the pervious. We gonna have steamboat too. The food cost about 140++ for only about 10 people.. so u can imagine how much food that each of us have to eat. feeling tired these few days.

Been cycling(pasir ris to ecp to Changi) and swimming with my cousin. bo bian have to train for my triathlon on the 3rd of july at ECP. if anyone of u r joining it also, pls let me know.. cos i'll be alone on the day itself.. My friends are either those who r not intrested or who wanted to join but feel that the registration fee is too high.. anyway i gonna give it a try. 1.5km swim, 40km bike, 10km running (Olympic Distance).. find it tough? haha.. actually not really.. as long as u r there just to enjoy urself and not pushing urself for the top 3 places, u will definitly can complete it. but timing wise erm.. haha.. i only become interested in endurance sport after i volunteered as a route mashall at last yr OSIM triathlon. it really cool when u see participants doing this crazy sport, push all the way to the finishing line. at that moment i told myself even kids, women and old uncle aunties can do it why can't i? And i made up my mind that i must participate in this yr event. At first i was aiming for the sprint distance (750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run) but when the registration start, i somehow go and join the Olympic Distance. haha.. the bike and run no worries.. but swim is the part where i really scare. In March i joined NB duathlon 10km run, 40km bike, 5km run. the last two part was crazy..cramps and aches.. however i managed to complete it.. the satifastion cannot be described espcially for a newbie like me. althought it took me 3hr20mins but it doesn't matter..!! Cos i believe i'll improve in next yr.. For now i just hope to complete my triathlon in under 3 hrs..

Bought myself a very low end road bike SCOTT SPEEDSTER S6.. sound pro? nahz.. it's a very low end with sr component but it cost me $850. it weigh 10kg and is slightly heavy for a road bike.. imagine a 6-8kg bike cost more than 3-6k..? wow.. can really fly liao.. For now i aim to build up my stamina and strength in biking that why even a few thousands bike doesn't make any different to me.. a low end will do. hehee.!! The feeling of riding a road bike is very different from mountain bike.. Once u ride a road bike before, you will nv look at mountain bike again.. haha..it true.. the feeling is different.. now i only can imagine what it is like to ride on a 8kg bike.. but there are also gd points about mountain bike, they can go over kerbs, rocky road and those uneven pathway..
Wow think i write quite alot le.. anyway this is just my first entry.. More will come.. ZzzzzZzzzzzz.... btw from my entry u will c that my English is kinda bad.. ya.. grammer plus spelling mistakes.. but heck la.. you understand can le..
