9 weeks of BMT is finally over.

Must admit it wasnt as easy as wad many ppl think it is.

there were times when we enjoy the trainings, and there were oso times when we dread the programmes ahead.

but most imptly, we endured thru this first stage of our millitary life and forged really really close friendship.

of coz, it is due to the brotherhood among us, tgt with the hard work that we put in, that yield us the results that we wanted..

coming in first(both in detachment and platoon level) during the UDC, and producing the best trainee and best in pt in the coy.

Like wad the instructors and many seniors who said, "BMT is the most memorable part of our millitary life."

The last two days of BMT was quite emo for me, it's the same feeling as that during my NPCC ROD and graduation day in sec sch and jc.

But somehow the 24km route march on the last day lifted my spirits as we walk from changi to our camp.

Not an easy task to complete, but we sang and chatted along the way and very soon, fatigue was at the back of our mind.

At night after the route march, we had our parade and warcry, and this marks the end of our 9weeks BMT.

"Tough times dun last, tough man do!"

"Pain that dun kill make us stronger!"

"The only easy day was YESTERDAY!"

these 3 quotes will always be in my mind wherever i go and whatever i do.

Thurs was the start of our 12 days leave and since the previous day was the end of our BMT, we went to suxin's house for a BBQ party, well, not the whole platoon but only my bunk. first time we used solid fuel to start the fire, lol, and we made the place quite smelly. chatted alot with them and went for a swim in his swimming pool with some guys. and since it's dark, plus some of them were lazy to change to trunks, so they went in with their undergarments..LOL....

den fri went for my dental appointment which lasted only 10mins before heading to the unit for the ITC.

this year's sec ones are really cute and chubby man, got 2 xiao pang in the squad, den one of them was so cute that the officers got the urge to pinch his cheeks like how we did on babies..lol..

first night slept at around 3:30am and had to wake up at 5 plus coz had to take them for PT and after that basically had no time for naps coz had to help out in the rope obs station.

at night had a steamboat supper with all the officers plus mr oh and germaine.
it's a rare opportunity to have so many officers gather around for a meal, so i really treasure that night, and it is usually such occasions that make us develop a strong sense of belonging to the unit.

we counted the no. of officers during this 3 years, total got around 6HOs, 11CIs and 4TOs. dat's like equivalent to one squad liao man...guess this is the largest number of officers we have in rvnp history le ba..

for me, i'm always looking forward to such camps as it's the best time for officers to gather and chit-chat, and it's also the best time to know the cadets better and allow them to know us better. but wad's bad is we everytime go back feeling super duper shagged!!!

first night slept for 1hr plus, second night slept for 5hrs...

and everytime after such camps when we reach home, we'll bathe and lie flat and dead on the bed and slp like a pig..

felt like a walking zombie during the gathering just now man...

somehow i couldn't hear properly and stomach was feeling abit uneasy, plus the shaggedness, felt like just lying on the floor and slp sia..
