One Quarter

That’s right. 1/4 through the journey in BMTC. Sounds like time passed very quickly. But when I’m in camp on another island, time really really pass very slowly. Adapting to new environments have not been a problem for me so far in life, therefore, I can safely say I’ve gotten used to it. And I’ll be learning new things everyday soon when I step into the BMT phase. Nowadays it’s just physical trainings almost everyday for me.

Lost 3-4 kg ever since I enlisted. This should give you an idea on how tough the training is inside. I made quite alot of new friends inside, be it my bunk mates or platoon mates. It can be fun even if the whole platoon gets punished together. My commanders are also really friendly people who always talk cock with us, but when it comes to business, they can be very serious too. It’s all about regimentation and discipline if you were to describe military lifestyle, from point to point you have to either double up yr pace or you march. I think the only time that we (recruits) love is our admin time at night, which means its our free time usually after dinner if there’s no night trainings. We would talk cock in bunk, play monopoly deal, eat some snacks, use our laptops and talk on phone.

Now I really treasure my weekends alot because that’s the only time I can do my own stuff, rest, spend time with family and friends and totally relax myself as a civilian. 3 more months to P.O.P. Time please pass quickly! Can’t wait for my turn to POP after watching some of my friends’ yesterday. I could really feel the happiness for them.

Back to Tekong, in a few hours time. Catch me again, soon.
