♥ 2:58 PM

book out yesterday. had a long week in rockyhill. actually it was quite a tough week. finally feeling it wad bmt is all about. my friends and myself agreed that this week is probably the longest week we had.

finally on monday get our sar 21. it was quite cool to touch our rifle. tuesday had our weapon presentation at ladang. that is when the "coolness" wear off. we were given drill pract and that is when it begin to dawn to me that is actually very troublesome to have a rifle.

true enough that day we only had 15 mins to bathe and do our stuffs before lights off. rush like mad. don't think any of us were happy with the arrangement. following day had technical handling which took up practically the whole day. thursday had our tech handling test which i pass.

anyway in army they will ensure you pass everything on the spot. probably because they want to ensure that everybody get to go for the range test this week and also another thing is so that anything happen you can't blame them but only yourself cause you pass your tech handling test.

friday had alot of activities..was kindda sian because cannot book out. and also everyone was hoping it rain so that route march will be cancel and we can stay in our bunk to rest. well it did drizzle but route march was not cancel and we still had to go for route march. after route march we had a horrid time because i think my sergeant finally snap and start handling punishment to us after a super tough route march. that night was struck down with fever.

well i don't blame him. probably my platoon really took it for granted and also the other sergeants were not helping by complaining alot about our platoon. this coming week would be my 6th weeks in tekong. i don see that it is gonna be easy or anything. i think my sergeants are gonna be very tough on us now sigh...

went to singapore discovery centre on sat for our national ed journey. was still feeling feverish and stuffs. manage to reach home at 1pm. rest awhile before heading down to riverwalk for cg.
actually had thoughts of not attending cg because i was still having fever and my whole body was aching. but decided to go for it.

decide to go for svc as well so that i can have my 10 hours of rest before i book in on sunday. thought that svc was great yesterday. every week jus look forward to coming for svc either to serve or attend. went to join up with shi jie's cg to go for dinner at airport. do a little catching up with him and weiming. quite happy finally after so long.

after dinner wnet home. decide not to let my fever slow me down. need to catch a movie at least so went to catch the dark knight with gordon and van. quite a long show but is nice. at least is much better then the other shows that i have caught recently. almost full house everywhere i checked. thought that when we reached the theatre gonna get like front row seat. but gv tiong bahru actually added another new show so manage to get a very good seats.

reached home quite late. and still having slight fever. not sure can i book in today anot. but if i don book in i am afraid i will miss my range test this week and have to go for a retest with other company which i am not looking forward to.

well this week is going to be another long week as we have range test starting from tuesday to friday. and we might potentially reached back our company at 12 midnight depending on fast we do our range test.

gonna book out on sat again. gonna have route march before we are allow to book out. very sian. this coming week will be the last time i book out before i am lock up in camp again for field camp. which means i will miss FOP. sigh...so looking forward to POP. 9 sept!

its been confirm today that we are going over to sat svc and having cg at 1.30 on sunday. maybe is good also because can have enough rest before booking out. got to talk to kelvyn abt it.
