♥ 10:18 PM
finally i am back after 2 weeks at tekong chalet. well was quite apprehensive when i was there like a lost sheep. thought that life in there will be tough but after 2 weeks i think i have more or less adapted to the place there.
i am enlisted into ZULU company which is located at rocky hill. which also explains why i get to book out quite late as compare to the people at ladang. but sigh..i don really mind also because the bunks there are more fit for human.
heard from my bro that at ladang the toilet all no door so you actually bathe together bare naked with all the guys. but at rocky hill we have cubicles and the bunk is actually so much bigger then ladang. God is good!
not only that i am bless with good section mates/bunk mates. started out with 11 of us in the section. but 1 already OOT (out of training). my buddy also want to OOT which will leave me "buddyless". one of the guy in the section seem to be struck with depression. other that then i was able to click with the rest and i quite enjoy their company.
must admit though that because of my buddy negativity i was slightly negative abt my exp in tekong but good thing i am a Christian every night pray if not i think i won't be able to adapt to tekong life. can't do a day without praying.
above all, i must really thank God for good platoon commanders! in my company only my platoon have the BEST commanders who doesn't come down hard on us and actually treat us like human. eg. lights out at 2230, other platoon commanders can actually ask their whole platoon to fall in at 2215 at the parade square when we are all preparing to slp. so i must really thank God for good understanding commanders. can say that other platoons people actually envy us.
get to make alot of new friends there. know practically all the malays and the only indian guy. he is probably the most hilarious guy cause he really bring alot of laughter everytime he talk. one memorable incident was when we were told to go for breakfast after 5bx and it was dark and he was running to the cook house when he actually feel into the small drain and end up injuring his body parts and having a swollen thigh. he really lift our or rather my mood up everytime i see him.
skip all the details. quite sian a couple of days ago had a headache and wasn't feeling well. next morning was struck with sore throat and now having cough. like wad my indian fren say wad a time to get all these just when you are ready to book out.
just wanna thank all my friend for actually availing all their time to msg me to talk to me on the phone and help accompany me to finish my 2 weeks there. also got my allowance from the army today!
book out today thought of enjoying the 2 days before i book in again on sunday 1945. hard to find ppl to go out. thank God manage to get glenn to go out together. caught the new movie "WANTED" at tiong bahru. quite a tough movie to understand if you don't focus and concentrate. i think tmrw also go chiong one more movie before i go for another chalet. but maybe go out with cgm well unsure of the plans.
can't wait to attend svc on sunday. feel so weird the last 2 weeks nv attend svc at all.
adapt to tekong life already. feel so tired throughout the movie. even now my eyes feel like shutting and tmrw at 11.30 i have zone meeting at rw. hope i can wake up early.
