Next on the menu: Field Camp

Another week has passed in my days as a recruit. Life is getting tougher and tougher but im getting used to it. Most of my friends are down with sickness, coughs and fevers. I hope im not next on the list... I want to go through the rest of my BMT(Basic Military Training) without anymore hiccups. Furthermore, the next two weeks will not be releasing to civilization due to field camp. Haizz... Not to fret, i predict that i will be stronger and slimmer wafter that. Look out for a smaller me then. Muahahaha...

Got the chance to went out with some of my closest friends in my poly days. I did some planning for the couple in the end it did not turn out to be that way. Thought i could give them their personal time, in the end they just din't fall into plan. Gave up the plan but was kinda delighted as i finally ate the MUSHROOM SWISS WHOPPER from Burger King. Felt so heavenly and it lasted only 15mins... It is still worth it. Worth every cent! After that we went to watch 'The Island'. Futuristic movie with a very deep plot. It is about cloning humans for another human's survival. A little exxagerated in the middle but overall a good movie. I gave it 4 out of 5 chin-ups. A must watch for organ donors and futuristic geeks.

After the movie, something bad happened. I do not want to say much but it did stunned me pretty badly. Anyway its all over, nothing to good to talk about. I went home soon after and collect the keys for the car to have supper with my sister. I picked her up with her colleague. After sending her colleague home, we went to macdonalds to have supper. Chatted with her about army life, the future, her future, her university stuff and also about my personal life. It felt like we have not met for a very long time, suddenly its like so much to talk about. Maybe its the distance and time that set us so far apart after being so close for such a long time. Guess she will be the one and only closest half-kin to me...

Final words before ending...

The more we sweat in peace time, the less we bleed in war time.

A line i learned from my poly classmate.

Life as a Soldier

I have left this place for 1 month. Able to see that it has grown lots of cobwebs and algae. Some parts starting growing mushrooms!! Okie, enough of the crap talk. I have not updated about my life for a very long time. My time of using the computer is so limited. Not only do i have limited computer time, i also have limited freedom time. I am now a recruit of the Singapore Armed Forces. A training soldier that will defend this country when the call of duty is sounded. Even though i have not fired a real gun nor used a weapon of any sort to kill or injure my enemy, i learn that losing the battle is just not acceptable. Now the training for me is usually physical. We are to train our physical and mental strength so that we can repel any forces trying to invade into our country. Training is tough, but the tough gets going. But the main concern is the food they serve in the army. It really sucks to the core. Nothing beats eating mainland Singapore than having meals in the army. Food is always a big thing in the army. All my friends and seniors have been complaining about the food. But what to do? It is after all the Government right?
