my first 2 weeks in BMT....or rather...my first 2 weeks of 2 years in army....

ok...hi everyone...i'm back after 2 weeks of enforced isolation on the island of Pulau Tekong for my BMT training....hahaha...and so...here i am blogging abt some interesting things that i have come across over there for the past 2 weeks....

disclaimer: i was told to practice discretion on what i blog and therefore...dun expect too much juicy details.....

oh wells...the first few days of fitting into communal life was abit not so easy...especially having to leave home and spend it with 12 other different man living in the same bunk....so when i called home the first few nites...things got a little emotional for me...but things got better after the initial phase...and i began to adapt to the communal living part of life la....hahaha....

then the training started really gradually...and so..its not that difficult as i thot it would be for me..and so...really...again...glad is rite...i'm just worrying too much......its not that difficult to get used to the military lifestyle of having to greet everyone higher ranking than me and having to march here and there....haha..cos 4 years in RC has erm....kinda equipped me for that....and so....the footdrills are really i should say...chicken feet for me la...haha...

other than that, the food there was alright too....and yes...despite all the food i have in there...i did manage to slim down...haha..not alot...but at least i did slim down..so...its an accomplishment for me already...considering the fact that its just 2 weeks in BMT.....hahahaha.....

basically....thats all la...nthg much..since most of my life in BMT now is devoted to slimming down....haha...so..there's really nthg much to blog abt la....haha...like i promised...no juicy gossips for anyone at all...i suppose??....hahaha...

okok..thats all...till i blog again.....ciao!!!

p.s. life is so precious and so fragile...therefore...cherish it...every single minute of it!!

ok....3 months of holidays now comes to an end...

oh wells...i guess by now...everyone will know that i am going into NS tomorrow....and first stop in NS....is tekkong island for BMT....15 wks in all...and by the time i come out..i would have already missed most of my friends' bday....

these few days...everyone has been telling me abt NS...the bad and the not so bad side...i guess...all i need is time to adapt...time to tune myself into the clock of military life....and fit myself into that lifestyle...upon doing that...i guess..i would be fine with alot of things already.....

i seriously dunno what to say abt going into NS...i'm not excited...not too sad...not too anxious...and not too depressed.....just...no feeling....you know...sometimes the calmness you feel before something big happens...thats those feeling....but like glad says.....eventually i still have to get in..unless i can change my sex into a girl...or become an cranky old man....NS...is one detour that i must take no matter what.....so....goodluck to me i guess......

ok.thats all for today's post...nthg too anti-govt or mindef i hope....hahahaha....the next post will be in 2 weeks time when i come out of my confinement period.....tataz.....wait for the juicy details....

p.s. like i told glad...if i can get thru NS....then i really really believe that...actually there aren't alot of things that are impossible for me.....haha
