3 months of my army life have finally passed. . .
And that marks the end of my BMT journey, and awaiting in front of me is another chapter of my NS life that’s waiting to unfold itself.
The last challenge in BMT, the 24km Route March was indeed a hard one. Marching from 11pm til the next morning 6.30am, ain’t an easy thing, especially the first 16km route, i was like blind walking all the way.
Seriously, the 24km route march was a killer, but whats compared to the past few months of training we had.
And after the 24km route march was our Pass Out Parade. 
Super tired, as we had no rest after the 24km march, we had to proceed to the parade square where our parents are waiting for us.
I’m glad that dad and mum came, and i’m happy that dad could make it, despite he had a overseas meeting with his client @ Thailand; he postpone the trip and fly off straight after my POP. I love you , dad. You are the best in our eyes.
And along my way in these 3 months, I have met a few good friends, that i knew our friendships will last along the years.
Along with me who enlisted on the same date with me, Same Platoon, Same Section, Same Bed but different Company is KC.
Hope to see you in the same unit in the future. Kudos
Anyway, what are my final thoughts?
In BMT, i just believed that everyone are the same, despite physically and mentally. We just need to pull each other through, be discliplined and adapting to the regiment and the military lifestyle. I would say, at start, it ain’t an easy thing for me to do, but soon, few weeks after enlisting, everything just get in place.
To my friends that are waiting to be enlisted, don’t care what the rest said about BMT. It is just a conversion process for us, from civilian life to military life. Whatever it is, listen to orders at all times, and be who you are. Don’t try to wayang, or chao geng, else your life inside wouldn’t be a nice one.
Training wise, no matter how tough it is, keep telling yourself, you can do it. It’s all in the head, not your physical strength. If our parents, our grandparents can do it, why can’t we? Do your best, and aim for command schools after BMT.

Wednesday 11th March
Straight away after POP, dad drove us home and headed to airport to catch his flight to meet his client.
For me, the first thing, of course is the bed. Imagine marching thru the night, and not resting after that and had to do our Pass out parade. And I nearly ‘ pass out’ during the parade man. -.-
The next thing i knew i woke up around 11pm, and something bad happened to my sister. I wouldn’t elaborate more on that, but i hope justice will be done.
Woke up already, accompanied her to Admiralty Police Station to make a report, and by the time the officer finished interviewing her and we are back home again, it was 2am already..
time to fall into deep sleep again..
Thursday 12th March
Woke up pretty early in the morning, drove to market with mum and ate breakfast.
Then U-Turn back home and fetch J & W to Suntec for work @ IT Show 2009.
Later which, drove to Alexandra Road to LG Service centre and serviced the LG Viewty that my dear sister make spoilt. Damn.. By that time, I’m pretty tired again..
The next thing i knew, okay, i took AYE(Tuas) and drove along the way, with shagness and tiredness in my eyes, I miss the exit for PIE.
ROAR.
Nevermind, i drove all the way down, and nearly went to Tuas Checkpoint -.- Godamn blur lol.
Exit from Cooporation Road and took another detour back to AYE highway and finally found PIE exit again.
Total i spent 1.5hours since exiting from Alexandra road to reaching home -.-
Watched Twilight online. Not a bad movie thou I think the movie will have a sequel.
Meanwhile yanzhang came over, and watched the movie halfway with me, and later that went downstairs and play L4D.
After that, went to fetch my sister and J and drove them home.
Friday 13th March
Friday the 13th, yeah, indeed not a good day to be. Anyway, my day was still okay.
Fetch mum to Woodlands Checkpoint to have lunch and settle her stuffs, and then went to IT Show with Billy, Dave, JunQing & Jeremy.
to friends working @ It show, good luck for your sales huh !
Bought a new keyboard cos’ my computer current keyboard chui already.
Billy bought the latest Ipod touch 2nd gen one with speakers 16gb for $475. not a bad deal thou.
Headed to Waraku Japanese Restaurant to have dinner.
Awesome dinner, first time dining @ Waraku.
After dinner, JunQing, Jeremy(left before dinner) & Dave left. Which left me and billy. After walking around for awhile, bought a Zara Basic top, fucking bored, went to Arcade to relive our childhood memories.
Due to the incident, after Billy left, i went to convention centre and waited for my sister and go home together with her.
I think after the incident, i became more protective of my sister and sending her to and fro work nowadays, cos’ i wouldn’t want history repeating itself again.
Today, Saturday 14th March
Woke up pretty late just now around 11pm, and slacked around in the house.
Now waiting to go IT Show again with Dad, cos’ he wanna get a 37 inch LCD TV for the living room, and me getting a Canon IXUS digi camera later.
At night planned activities would be dinner with Felix, Estee, Liting, Wl & Yz @ Town and heading to DBL O later.
I’m still thinking of whether to head to DBL O later, for tomorrow I’ll be out of town for 4 days to cruise with family & Jeff to Phuket/Penang.
Meanwhile, stay tune for more updates.
P/S: à la jeune fille en France maintenant, i miss you. Take good care of yourself alrights. I’m waiting for the day you’re back (:
