Back from Tekong....

Booked out from Teokng at around 1100 plus this morning.... it was a reward for our company... because during our range for the first 3 days... there was no case of "mis-fire"... and so we got the early book out....

Well... for this week.... felt that the days passed by quite fast.... we spent the first 3 days at the range for our PTP... shot alot of live rounds....

The feeling was quite shiok.... shooting live rounds at the target board.... very different from the IMT computerised shooting....
Personally... i think my shooting skills are just like my basketball skills.... when i'm good, can get alot of shots... but when i'm bad... really like 1 shot also cannot get...
But on the whole.... my firing was considered ok... but i only know i pass...not sure about the score... but i know i comfirm cannot get company best shot... though that was what i was aiming...
So ... well.... quite impress that Wei Yang actually got the company best shot....

Actually.... there were some cases of "mis-fire"... btu i think our OC sort of covered it up for us... beacuse got some company mates fire the shot when the target went down....
By right that would qualify for "mis-fire".. btu our OC want to label it as "slow reaciton to target".... so we still got our early book out... but the 3 people who "reacted slow to target" have to stay back to do guard duty on Saturday.... so they are not totally excused from the mistake they did....

Anyway... i still got another thing can aim.... Company Best Trainee~~~~

Haha... it's only an aim.... as i have explained when i was aiming for SOTY....

But seriously.... i guess i am abit shaken deep inside.... ever since my "A" Level results.... i don't have much confidence in myself anymore...
All these best in what or what.... i just use them as somethign to push myself.... gather more confidence... but the finaly result... i seriously have no confidence in it....

Oh well... never mind.... i'll just put in my best for everything i do.... and let fate decide the result...

Just like i aim to get into OCS.... well... just an aim.... but the feeling of the bar on your shoulders... and people saluting adn calling you sir.... it's quite a good feeling.... haha.....
Oh well... let's see if i can get in first....

Anyway... the day after the range was quite a "xiong" day for me... or should i say for the company as well.... it was training for SOC.....
And mind you... not go thorugh once.... but 3 times!!!!

First time in SBO... then after that with rifle only... and after that free body chiong....
At frist i though it shouldn't be much of a problem.... but during the 2nd attempt... can really feel myself panting.... and stuffs are starting to come out from my nose... not really sure what it is... but i guess it came out because i am straining my body alot...
Was quite shagged out... even climbing the stairs was quite straining for me....

And so.. for the next few days... they lessen the intensity of our PT.... until this morning.... chiong us again....
Suppose to be speed training one... which means running "30,60".... then after that... our FS still made us do strength training... push ups.. crunches...jumping jack and dono what... was again shagged out.... this time worse than SOC training.... think it's because haven't recovered from SOC training.... and now they chiong us more because it's book out day....

Speaking of that... my FS belong to the type abit "kuai lan" one.... when he is in good mood.. he can talk cok with us alot... but when he "siao"... really become siao one... pump us like no bodie's business... and keep making us spread and squeeze and spread and squeeze.... sometimes i really don't like him....
Like that time before the "xiong" SOC training... he still pump us because he forgot to greet him... then by right maximum is 20... but he made us do close to 20... then restart... so all in all think we did about 50... somemore is SBO .... where got strength to do SOC after that.... Haiz....
But guess we don't ahve much of a choice.... he Sergeant what... big lar....

But on the other hand... i guess kena "tekan" is qutie a good thing... trains me up... so i don't really mind ...

Sat beside De Jian while on the bus to Pasir Ris bus interchange there.... but once we got off... he disappear liao... immediately went to find Yumin.... think he abit "desperate" le... haha...

After that.. went with some of my seciton mates for lunch.... wanted to go Macdonald.. but after seeing it was quite crowded... and our platoon Sergeants and Sergeants also in there.. went to Swensen instead.... like not expensive.... 1 chicken chop can buy 3 at a normal hawker center....

But since so long never eat CV food le.... just eat with the group lor...

After that... went home... forced myself to wash all my clothes and stuffs first.... scared later it doesn't dry... need them for my field camp next week...

After that.... actually want to go abck SRJC for College day... becasue i thought i would be getting the "Service Award".... because that's what my ex-CCA teacher told me so... but my letter didn't mentioned it.. and after checking with my other friends... i found out that i am indeed not getting any service award... because if i had.. the letter would ahve mentioned it....
Feeling abit"left out"... sianz out.... then just decided not to go liao... anyway i also quite tired....

Don't feel like going anywhere.. but my VS-SRJC friends jio me go Hougang Plaza play pool... so just went there... ate dinner with them.. and played pool...
And i knew immediately my skills are lost.... i lost almost every game... won only 1 i think... really suck at it.... think it's because of my tiredness.. and also too long never play...
After that... went home at aroun 2200 le....

That's about it ....
T.E.= $29.75

Now i knida understand the importance of getting original CDs... go army cannot bring burnt one... can only bring original disc.... so i should be getting some original disc...
But actually also not much time to listen... mostly listen while sleeping... which is like around 5 minutes after i lie on the bed... then knock out le....
But still.. having some CDs to listen is better than nothing.....

Just been back from Tekong yesterday....

Spent around 17 days in the holiday chalet at Pulau Tekong.... then finally got to book out yesterday...

But dono why.... i don't really feel as excited or anything.... guess i am quite ok with army life liao....

Just some basic information.... i can't reveal much because i ahve sweared under the oath not to reveal much military information.....

I am in Hawk Company, platoon 2, section 2... the whole comapny are majority of "A" level holders... with a few diploma and degree holders...
This is also the same comapny which My Lee Kuan Yew's grandson went into i think... thus it was rumoured to be a welfare company....
But as my CSM wants us to put it.... we are not a welfare company, but a company which emphasize more on learning than on punishment.... something like that.... so not really a welfare company... and my CSM is quite a ncie guy... funny in a way too.....
Anyway i also don't feel much welfare anyway... things looks the same from my company and other comapanies....

Got some familiar faces in my comapany....
De Jian - platoon 3 (live aboves me one floor)
Bernard (VS NCC one) - platoon 2 (different section from me)
Ramen (VS Track and Field) - platoon 2 (same section as Bernard)
Zhen Yang(VS Red-cross) - platoon 4

Then other informations....
Heok Kia - Orion ( and his Sergeant is his brother.... -_-")
Zhen yang (SRJC ODAC) - Raven
Yi Ming (SRJC ODAC) - Falcon
Also saw some SRJC guys in Falcon... but i think mainly those more "Bengs" one...

Saw Eugene Lee (VS) too... but i dono which company... think it's Echo... all the abit over sized one company...

So far.... my platoon is quite ok... except sometime the people i talk to seem like they not like to reply or something.... especially during lunch time... make making some comments and they like never hear like that....
Oh well... at least i am very "on" with my section mates.... think the bond better within the sections... but still .. so far got one person in my section kena condemmed by me minorly... because the guy attituded me on the first few days of meeting.... although now he seem more ok.. i still don't like the the way he talks... like very hao lian like that....
Well.... still trying to maintain friendship with everyone... but i kept minimum contact with that guy.....

The other stuffs seem ok... trianings are ok.... went for SOC liao.... can strip and assemble my rifle well liao....
And so far.. there wasn't much punishments "awarded" to us... yet.... because the first confinement is considered the adjustment period... at the next book in tonight... all hell will break loose i guess.....

The past 2 days have been qutie a tiring one... think they purposely one... want to screw us up first before letting us book out.... they packed all the trainings together.... then it's like we are training physically the whole day.... resulting in my muscle aches since yesterday....
But well... no problem.. can recover fast ....

Been away so long... got quite some changes in mianland Singapore i also dono... like cinema prices increase liao...
Oh well... heck.... don't think i will be spending much anyway...

Oh well... booking in tonight.... so won't blog again till next weekend... anyway next saturday got a college day celebration at SRJC.. the 16th College Day... they snet me an invitation to go... so go attend also good.... My Ex-ODAC teacher say it's for the service award of some sort... think i should be getting one~~~

That's about it liao... later i still have to go buy soem field camp stuffs and write my appraisal form for the company....
Sian man... book out still have to do homework..... Haiz... that's army for you man....
And suddenly alot of people asked me to help them buy stuffs..... diao....

T.E.=$6.70

Strange right? In army still have to spend money... oh well.. no choice... got to pay for section fund for buying tibits...everybody like very hungry like that... then also got to pay for hair cut... and some army stuffs....
