ok this emo season i must admit.. time has flashed by so fast that im left with my last 3 days of nsf life. everything seems like it happen just like yesterday, my enlistment in bmtc and all.. ok i shall turn back the date to 151206 and blog from there.
151206: enlistment date..
i took the eastbound train with my family to pasir ris.. on the way in the train i shedded my first drop of tears as i jolted myself to the reality that im away from my family n thrown into a faraway island with strangers.. still rmb i was listening to the song ' wo ke yi' on ipod..
the next moment i found myself posted to orion coy and have to bear the pain of bidding farewell to my parents at the jetty, i felt sad and emo at that scene.. its the first time i am scared to leave away from the warmth of my parents.. back in bunk, couldnt slp for first nite, just sat n stone in my own bed obviously acting oblivion to whoso or whatsoever in my bunk..
the incident of my lost fieldpack and lvb thrown me into a level of fear..i am afraid and scared.. but i m thankful of the caring commanders and bunkmates den, they din reprimand me or wat but yet consoled me and say everything will be all right.. though the matter has been revolved, i still wonder how it get lost la.. hmmm..
151206-130307
in a space of 3 months, i endured BMTC the route marches field camps and all.. BMTC's route marches has been a unforgettable experience, i bet without the motivation and encouragement den, i wouldnt have survived my 24 km.. the scene of that nite still vividly in my mind, as we reached the bmtc sch 2 parade sq, i felt tears gushing out, it was a sense of relief yet achievement.. nvr on earth will i imagine i could survive such a gruelling ordeal and yet i did it.. the speed training/ strength training brought my fitness lvl higher which im thankful for.. Thanks for the platoonmates my orion plt1 for being there for me. n most especially, my dearest bitch club members and the few closer ones.. i rmb all the fun we had as we get more 'shou(2)' as days drags on, the white tape, the most graceful sleeping position and etc.. and den its POP on 130307 a day which we all waited for and i bade my farewell to the tekong island ever since =)
130307 - 230307
my first block leave after a hectic bmtc.. and i got my posting to 39 sce cbrd pnr during thebreak.
240307-080607
cbrd pnr course duration.. it was another whole new experience in there. i was section 1 bed 1 and hence took on the role of platoon ic.. omg la, i have always been a follower more than a leader in bmtc pls.. n now i have to lead a grp of man.. wa kao.. its really stressful then.. i felt the whole world is piling up on me.. i still rmb sgt warren den talking nicely to me when i ask and clarify things.. thx god.. and my den pc was so garang den he made us do chinup regimes everyday which i dreads.. so i haD no choice but to do day in day out but in the end i passed out from my course with 0 chin ups still.. 080607 we had our pop and we got the cbrd badge. =)
090607-early october.
we had our turn ops transition phase where in the process we had our turn ops exe. and glad to say at end sept i managed to do 8 chin ups and a silver which im surprised very! and we took part as part of the logistics team in the ndp 07 where engineers were the organizing party.
mid october 07 - 071008
OPS company.. we do ops week in week out.. force 1 or force 2 or orderly. furthermore we had several security ops such as aseansummit 07, IISS08 SG Grandpix F1..
Being in 39 SCE:
the friendships forged in 39 sce.. within my platoon though i wouldnt say im on good terms with all but i dare say im with most lest for 2 or 3 la.. we all come from different background and to live together for close to 2 years its really quite a challenging task to mix well and get along well with one another.. not to even say frenships. hmm, my old/new duty team, thanks for athe support whenever we are on training exe/duty. to my bunk section1, lol though you guys have been a noisy bunch but im proud to be part of them. all the times the standbyarea/standbybed we stood tgt ya.. and thankfully i found my closer frens within the plt where i can share my probs with.. and not to forget my ever best pals in the coy:jordan n ys. thanks its been rather fortunate that we camp to the same unit.. till now i still really wonder if it is a blessing or not to be in a different plt with u all? =P
my accomplishments.. hmm before i come here, there are a lot of things which will i imagine myself to accomplish..
IPPT- to get a silver from 0 chin up to 8 chinups its just a fairytale ok not really i did put in some real hard efforts ok
Stamina- definitely it has increased.. many people commented abt it. my rsm,ps, sgt, oc, csm, co all commended my efforts for it and i m happy that my efforts do pay off indeed. here, i completed 2 AHM((07n 08) a full marathon(standchart07). in addition, i dunno why im being chosen to represent the unit for the formation healthy lifetsyle run for both years. and i happy that i brought something back on both occasions but same colour - bronze =p/
