pop lo!

Yay finally had our passing out parade! (just in case non army people don't know what does POP stand for) So now just waiting for posting to see which unit are we enlisting next. Hope I'll get sispec but yea anything la if I were to become a rifleman so be it.

I realised I didn't blog for quite some time so here's just something to refresh this dying blog! BMT had been fun, if you were to ask me what stupid things I've done there, I'll tell you like really alot alot alot of things, but I shall not reveal them here, mainly because they are categorised under 'stupid' for a reason. Also, met alot of weird yet funny people there. Overall not that bad la, most losers support liverpool while there were some smart and intelligent people supporting arsenal, so the soccer debate never really died down at any point of time during bmt. Man u and chelsea were out of the debate totally by the way. (nobody likes them anyway) Then people complain about the food there in the cookhouse. After several rounds of talks and speeches, I think the food in the cookhouse taste great! Oh oh not to forget, some of the more common stuff in bmt like standard obstacle course (SOC) and individual speed training (IST) and AGR which I've no idea what it stands for but it just equates to RUN, and RUN. I think they had been rather beneficial to me. Take for example my 2.4 timing was actually worse in the 2nd nafa as compared to my 1st nafa and magically improved by around a minute in the last nafa. Such training really makes you wonder whether your nafa results is just pure luck or what. Of course up till now, the effect of ist is still unknown while soc did nothing to help but to make me think I suck at low rope. But really, fellow pre-enlistees, your platoon mates are the only ones that would make your bmt interesting. If you screw it up, you can probably tell yourself good luck.

That day after pop, I went back in for re-route march, 24km. It wasn't that torturous as I thought it would be, I thought the 24 km would really be a long one and I can't hold it for long but no it's actually similar to like 16km or something! Also, since we did our route march as a school in a platoon, we mixed around with dragon and other company people so it wasn't that bored really and oh oh that day there were people enlisting so the officer reminded us that and if we were to march faster back to the school, we could actually see the enlistees! And their sisters! So in the end we sort of did a fast march back to ladang campus and manage to see some sisters there and yea, did helped to motivate us abit. I swear I didn't look at the sisters much because they were quite far away. I was concentrating on booking out after that so yea that's my motivation! :P

Then here comes the relatively long break, about a week before getting enlisted to another unit and that's when hell starts so, you can classify bmt as just a warm up period. I hope I would be free from all injuries! I hate the feeling of injuring yourself man. The feeling of just sitting there not able and not allowed to do anything while watching the rest of the platoon having fun crawling around on the grass and firing blanks, or running around the track like a dog but in the end we know it's GOOD for us yea. Oh no 21st please don't ever come, EVER.

OHOH SOMEONE IS HAVING LUNCH IN ATHENS (A ROCKY PLACE) NOW! JEALOUS! LOL.
