back and going soon

well the past week out in cv life has been great.. everything's great if you compare it with life back in tekong.. i actually looked forward to my book-out to collect my results la! just becos i wanted to book out.. haha.. well that phase of my NS life is now over.. come friday i'll find out where im off to next.. on hindsight, BMT wasnt totally that bad.. it was not bad actually.. ive made many great friends and life apart from a few occasions was ok.. life was not hell all the time but just sometimes.. anyway tink its all part of the training rite? the meaning of pain has been brought up a few notches.. but there were times when i actually had fun.. like sleeping my 7 hrs everyday.. washing the toilet was not bad too.. very relaxing becos you get to spray everywhere with water.. haha.. and the LITTLE admin time i had was spent relaxing too.. i would like to emphasize the word little! is admin time a priviledge or a right? up till now i dont know.. cos others in the other companies get at least 1 hr everyday and wad do i get? 15 mins to bath and do all my stuff before lights out.. its not nice la.. but i guess you can live with it.. i lived with it for 2 plus months.. after awhile, you get used to it, like everything else.. the pumping, crunches, alternate leg thrusts, jumping jacks, marching, running ard with rifle overhead, all the crawling, the running to and fro and running up and down your company line.. you get used to all this stuff.. i personally like alternate leg thrusts the most.. do like 20 sets of 4 and your leg goes numb.. but thats not all.. not everyone is counting together so you start back from zero.. and the cycle continues.. looking back at it all, coming up with all the punishments we went thru really takes some creativity.. not bad..
anyway thank God at least one phase of my NS life is over.. wanna thank God too for the blessing he gave me in the form of the best recruit of my platoon award.. really didnt see it coming.. didnt even tink abt it until i was told so.. God's favour i must say.. in a platoon which comprised so many outstanding personalities, im greatly blessed to have received it.. the thanks too has to go out to the guys from jaguar 3.. they really made my life as IC much easier with their cooperation and help..

well a piece of advise to those going into the army, no man is an island.. depend on others as much as yourself. be strong up there and dont give in.. its all mental.. (this mainly is for the direct enhanced leadership batches..) you'll fully understand wad this post is talking abt.. haha..
to all, God bless and take care.. this should be one of the very few posts this yr.. no time la.. sorry!! :D will update as much as possible..

CHeers!!
GOd BLess!
