A Trained Soldier

POP loh! i am now a trained soldier. i should have blogged on tuesday but, i was hapily enjoying myself. i can finally have a good break. play the ps2, use the pc. here's what happened from my last book in till today.

Sunday

my last book in. when we reached SFT, there was a huge crowd. why? cos some idiots posted restricted stuff from the army in youtube.com. so the RPs have buffed up the security and they ahd to check everyone. when we reached coyline, every section was given 2 pizzas! 2 bottles of coke too. surprise suprise, it was a party! we stayed up till bout midnight to chit chat and finally went to bed.

Monday

somehow didn't really enjoy this day. cos of the stupid rehearsals. i'm sure the SSM made everyone hate him. so the day wasn't good. at night, i was told that i'm a reserved guard duty personnel on the 12th, worst case scenario. who wants to come back during blocked leave man?! no choice. then LT Ang came up to tell us our sittest and peer appraisal results. then i knew that i lost the platoon best spot cos i didn't get gold for IPPT. its alright, at least i know i'm good enough haha. LT Ang is good, he told everyone of us what he thought of us, after that we took photos cos LT C. K. came up too. this last night is havoc night. its way pass the lights out timing but still the lights were on. and no one bothered to scold us. most of us had a late night.

Tuesday

POP day! woke up in the morning and it was raining heavily. so i decided to skip breakfast. had wei quan to help me scan my 11b, and i slept till 7 and went to draw arms. area cleaning next followed by the course de-brief in the lecture room. after that we went up to pack up. then we had to place our duffel bags in the multi purpose hall and we went for lunch. did some SK after lunch and went back to do area cleaning. then it was a final warm up rehearsal then we are all waiting at the carpark for our parents to arrive. we expected a long wait but it wasn't the case. we used the time to chit chat and then finally, parade time. the march in the standing still, the saluting, everything was so unbelievable. the feelings and emotions flowing through me is beyond words. and the moment my dad put on the jockey cap for me, i felt like crying. i thought back to the 1st night i spent in camp till this day. i've done a good job i told myself, and this day is for me to enjoy. after the parade, went to collect my ration and duffel bag and met up with my family. got the digi cam and took photos with so many people. especially the commanders and my section mates. they were the ones who got me to where i am, and i sincerely thank all of them very very much. went to TFT to board the ferry, waited for a very long time, nontheless still worth it. finally able to go home. when i reached home, tons of unpacking to do. met up with the guys at prata, they're gonna get enlisted while i POP haha.

Wednesday

went to wei quan's place to play basketball and soccer. later we went up to his unit to play the ps2 and mahjong. it was enjoyable. i went off early. wanted some time for myself. so when i reached home i used the com had a nice nap and played the ps2 at night. aiming to complete FFX during my blocked leave.

till today i still feel the emotions rising in me. there are a special band of people i wish to thank, they are KX, CK, Hafiz, Lokman, Boo and my section mates. i owe a big big thank you to all of you guys. THANK YOU! u guys have helped me in a way or another.
