i didnt had the intention of staying at home today. afterall its a saturday, and after a rather mundane week at ayer rajah complex, i should have a well deserved break. but it seems that the gap between some of my friends and i have widened so much so that yup, we don't meet as often anymore. in other words, we are so caught up in our own world and our little circle of friends that has somewhat changed drastically. my social circle has totally decreased in size primarily coz of BMT. coz before i enlisted, i had lots of time. and had no problem finding ppl to go out with for almost everyday. but its very different now. thats why, sometimes im quite scared to make new friends. coz it will mean that we might forget the old ones that we know. but anyway, gonna meet hak and qb tmr i tink. hak's gonna enlist next fri so gonna prolly have some fun. lol. rem that he accompanied me on my last day as a civilian on 210405. had pasta and then just slacked ard at coffee crub. haha.
and so, time flies. its already 10 weeks since enlistment. i hope time can go even faster.
i remember :
waking up at around 0510, wishing that we can continue sleeping.
unlocking the cupboard, taking our essentials.
flip flopping to the toilet in our slippers.
hogging the sinks. my routine was to brush my teeth, wash my face with dettol, sometimes shave and then shit in my favourite cubicle - number 2.
then i wld go back to the bunk. wipe myself and then put on PT kit plus shoes. but i will wear the PT kit to sleep actually. a fresh one at night. so i need nt change in the morning. and then we will do some misc stuff like kiwi-ing boots. fold smart 4. adjust SBO etc.
then da sheng would "come lets go, we r gonna be late"
then we wld go to the other bunks and tell them the same thing
then water parade.
we felt the worst in the morning. falling in for 5bx.. that moment. like we have one whole day up ahead. sometimes kissed the floor coz of some inconsiderate recruits.
the shiong-ness of 5bx depended on the instructor.
after running, we wld be hurried to change into our admin shirt at the red track and then march to the cookhse for breakfast for some tasteless food.
sometimes hor fun, sometimes bread, sometimes murtabak or isit prata.
the milo was nice although it tasted a little soapy.
upon completing our meal, we wld march ourselves back to the coy line.
and then either do area cleaning or just slack until the next activity.
usually we wld we called to draw arms.
otherwise we wld get ready to fall in for physical training/endurance training by 740.
sometimes we wld go to the gym and also play games.
9-before lunch is usually the slowest.
sometimes we wld have lectures during that time. lectures that are so dry that u can sleep once the lecture commences.
its so slow that i cant remember what we usually do during that period.
then we change into smart 4, for lunch. just for lunch.
and then march to the cookhse.
i usually sit with the rest of the bunkmates.
the most common topic of discussion was of course about roney.
and then after lunch. pretty slow too. drills etc.
once it is abt 4, everything suddenly seems to be fast.
we wld get ready to go for dinner at abt 5plus.
we look forward to dinner time coz it meant that another day was going to end.
after dinner, we usually wait for CRO.
sometimes we wait until 9pm
haha.
but the gap betwen dinner and cro was usually meant for sending arms and admin matters.
then once we are dismissed after cro
everybody would run to the bunk
grab their stuff and run to the toilets to bathe or do their laundry.
others prefer to use their hp 1st.
then we will usually share our titbits and talk.
and then we will sleep by 2230.
i remember
i kinda miss it
BUT I DONT WANNA GO THROUGH IT EVER AGAIN!!!
unit life is kinda interesting
in my unit that is
lol.
ive just been transffered to NSmen section which means that i handle with ICT matters. yup. all the people who ORD-ed already.
basically its a challenge coz we are dealing with professionals right now. and no longer NSFs.
i think the DXOs there are pretty all right. 3 of them. havent meet one of them. but the rest of the NSFs are [pretty ermm.. unique i must say. one of them gonna ORD next week.
