It had been a long time since I update my blog le… Now I understand why some NS man don have time for themselves partly because of the short book out time they can spent with their loved ones.
The life of a soldier is not interesting at all when u have done all the field camp, range grenade etc. The last 3 weeks was horrible coz my company had completed all the main event le…and wad we do for the day is juz strength training, running and admin time.
I was so lucky that I kanna guard duty all becos of my own fault, as my rifle was being stolen by my Sgt. That nite was terrible for mi when suddenly my toothache attack mi. I was unable to sleep well that nite, some more the next day have 16km route march. It was a difficult march for mi as I’m beri tired and sleepy.
As I was being volunteer to join drill competition as we have uniform groups background, thus I don have much admin time for myself. Most of the time we are training on drills and it can be a whole day of drill lesson and practice.
During the actual day of the competition, it was the worst uniform inspection by the school sergeant major (SSM) he took 1/2hr to inspect all my squad mates uniforms and rifles… his eyes were sharp that he could a strand of string which is uncut. After the inspection I was feeling unwell as it was cat 1. Later in the afternoon is the grand finale of my BMT 24km route march and I had to take painkiller. It was raining and our clothes are wet. It was fine for the first 16km and after that I twisted my knee cap and I have to suck up the pain till the end coz I don wanna do the re-24km during block leave. I’m glad that my buddy motivate mi for the last 4km till the point that I reach back the parade square i’m so weak that I don have energy to stand. After sending arms we head back to bunk. I measure my temperature, it show 39.2 the whole feeling was high… I took medicine and went to bed. I did not wan to report sick coz at nite no MO the medic will have to IV me. So report sick the next day and only manage to get Att B for 2 days.
The last few days together with my platoon mates was sad coz we gonna leave tekong soon. The last 2 nite was fun and tired coz we wake up in the middle of the nite to disturb those sabo kings in the platoon. Played toothpaste, powder and kiwi.. Haha some woke up and their whole head is full of powder and they had a great time washing up before we had to fall in for breakfast. Then have our last rehearsal for our POP in the morning, afternoon then we POP le. Here are some pics taken during the parade.
My platoon organize an outing the next day to Sentosa. We swim, played some ball games for the whole noon. Later in the evening we went to settle our dinner at N.Y pizza. Had a super big pizza for 5pax and went to PS with Alvin to buy her GF bday present. Had soccer match with platoon mates at TP the next day and it was tiring a day.
During this block leave I had an operation spring clean for my room. I repaint my room and clear up all the mess for 2 days and my body aches after that.
