i'm back!!! in one piece... a very much bigger piece though... i ate ALOT in tekong... haha... cos the food there is simply too good... haha... lolx... thank god that i have this super long weekend so slack and relax... and i got my pay too... according to the Company Sergent Major... haven't personally checked my account though... but it should be correct bahz...
and i miss my good old buddies!!! my "family" - WeiYu, YanYi, and QuanYou... i miss being with them just hanging around and talking about everything under the sun... hmmz... and my "vivo-gang" - Rosel, MinJia and Trey... missing the grandstand and simply "patrolling vivocity"... lol... the six people who makes up such a huge part of my life... the vivo-gang especially... cos it formed less than a year ago and we managed to get so close together in such a short time... and of course my "family" larz... they've been there for me during my exams and all that stuff... and coming to exams... i needa thank all the six people... with special mention to rosel, minjia and trey... because i got Good Progress Award!!! LOL!!! what a big surprise huh... $200 to be presented to me when i collect my A Level results... yepx.. rosel and trey, ur efforts paid off... thanks buddies... i juz hope that i get good grades for A Levels too... hahaha... i'll keep my fingers crossed... tightly... thanks to everyone once again... LOVE YOU ALL LOADS!!! so within 2 weeks in tekong, i earned myself $350 + $200... whoa... $550!!! for christmas!!! haha.. but the $200 will only come in in march... lol... but yar... very very very cool and very very very happy... hahaha!!! and most of all, thanks to the good LORD in heaven who takes care of me... i know i did not put in my best in my Prelims and he made a miracle for me... thank you LORD JESUS...
okok... my experience in NS... ok facts first, the first 2 weeks are what they call "orientation week"... this two weeks, there shall be no punishments, no nothing... and u get to know your "section" mates and "platoon" mates better... so, for me, it was pretty slack... that's one of the reasons i got fat... before i got enlisted, i go swimming on monday, wednesday and friday... in tekong, i think i exercised less than 5 times in the 14 days there... haha... lol... army... lol... hmmz... actually i'm not too sure whether i'm supposed to share my army experience in a blog... they did say that we are not to disclose training details to the public through any media... hmmz... i guess this is not public huh.. cos only my friends know the URL address.. and the probability of arranging all the english alphabetical letter in the correct sequence is quite a mathematical probability feat... haha... lol... excuses... lol... WHATEVER!!!
hmmz... so what exactly did we do there? a normal timetable for the day is:
wake up - 0530
breakfast - 0545
area cleaning / inspection - 0715
training 1 - 0800
lunch - 1200
training 2 - 1300
dinner - 1800
rest / training 3 - 1900
free time - 2130
lights out - 2230
it's not followed that strictly actually... we may sometimes have lots of free time and sometimes none at all... but most of the time, we have some time... lol.... hmmz... so what have i learnt so far? technical handling of the rifle, M16... and we went to the simulator a.k.a. the "arcade" where we shot computer simulated targets... we learnt how to strip the M16 and to re-assemble it back... we learnt very basic first aid and stuff... (altho i have to say that the first aid lesson was bullshit cos the two retarded medics ended up talking nonsense and nothing about first aid)... basically that's it bahz.. everything else is boring and nth much...
i got myself a wonderful buddy too... Ong Chin Wern... a guy who happens to have a birthday just ONE day after me... 12 Feb 1988!!! what a coincidence manz... and he's from RJC... super duper smart... name any part of ur body and he'll come out with a super cheim word for that part... that's why we call him MO (medical officer) ONG... cos he aims for Medicine in NUS... and aims to go to Officer Cadat School... so he'll come out as a Medical Officer... an immediate Captain!!! lol... three stripes... i got the best buddy in the platoon... hehe...
and Kian Siong too... from Temasek JC... he sleeps on the bed beside me... and he's also a super duper smart joker... with all these people around, i feel stupid... lol... no la... MO ONG only uses it once a while and whenever he does that, people around will all feel stupid... Kian Siong doesn't do that... but other than that, these people are great!!! well, at least i find that i can click with them... not the proud and arrogant type... (as some RJC smart kids may be)... which is what i like about them...
and basically everyone else in my section... it's the best... cos everyone can talk to everyone else... and so far there hasn't been any conflict (which i hope doesn't happen)... thank god...
going out to meet Mark and Chin Wern tmr for swimming... very cool considering we juz met and we are meeting outside tekong already... i'm hopeful we'll be the best of buddies in time to come... and well... they are all excellent people to be with.. haha... shall enjoy tomorrow... and of course i remember my dinner date with my "family"... WeiYu, YanYi and QuanYou... shall share with u all more when we meet for steamboat... hehe...
