Booked out yesterday and is enjoying civilian life right now. Leading an army life and a normal life is indeed very different. No computers, no high tech entertainment, no life, in BMTC. But there is one thing there that I really appreciate, and that is my section mates.
Before further elaboration, there are some facts you need to know. My section has 13 people initially before 1 was out of course because of a dislocated shoulder. I seriously pity him because he was in the course for less than a week and the thought of coming back to BTMC is just not a thing that you would want to hope for.
My section mates are all JC students and some are from HCI, VJC and others imba JCs. There are also 3 from JJC in my section. We made music during our free time which is luxury to have actually. We are hoping that we could gather out of camp and record down the music that we made, and mind you, the music is seriously not bad. Even others sections came in to join in the fun.
The Tekong camp is vastly different for what I thought of initially before I book in. I thought it would be those metal houses or some run down place, but I was not to be. The layout of the camp is pretty much like an ordinary secondary school. It is very urban and clean. And the best thing is that, there are NO MOSQUITOES.
One last thing about that place is that it offers the best view of the aeroplanes, even better than the view from mainland Singapore. The sights of aeroplanes zooming pass our heads when ascending and the sight of it slowly descending from the distance is really a wonderful sight. I seriously hope than all Singaporeans will get to see the sight.
I am booking in this Monday afternoon and it’s the start of serious training in BMTC. I am hoping to get into OCS, but with my fitness, I don’t really think I can make it. I am still a zerofighter (those who cant do chin ups), which means that I will need to work extra hard to pass my IPPT.
To my friends that are going army, please take the trouble and go to beach road and buy some ns cloths and socks because you will really need it. And to those who are not fit and still a zerofighter like me, please go and train. To those who are not going ns, have a nice time and earn as much $$$ before university begins. It will be some time before I update my post again.
I wish to thank those who are helping me to keep my blog alive and hope you will continue to do so. LIVERPOOL GO GO GO !!!
