I can't believe 13 weeks in BMT ended this fast. I remember the time i whined to my parents about the life in tekong and dreading to book in every sunday - i kinda miss that now..
I remember the very last time i look at my bunk and section mates before the 24km route march on tuesday night, it was empty and the usual liveliness, joy and laughter are no longer there. I told myself if i could i wouldn't mind staying there for another day...week...month. I left the bunk and prepare for the 24km route march which commenced at around 11pm. The route march was dulled as platoon 3 does not sing much ever in marching compared to other platoons. It was not the blisters that makes the route march difficult but rather the sleepiness which i had adjusted to the sleeping timing of 1030-5am for the past 3 months. During the 12-20km, i felt so sleepy that i closed my eyes and march and realized i was out of line and banging to my buddy. Haha! Nevertheless, we got to have night snacks, bananas and cold H2O during each 4km break..i really enjoyed it as it was my last route march in BMT.
The morale was really high after finishing the 24km as the first company. My OC mentioned that no one can tell us that BMT is easy and that we can be proud that we completed it and we will always be Cougar warriors! Haha..The morale among sergeants was high too because they get to have a month break after our batch Lol..
After finishing breakfast and changed our sweaty uniforms, we have to march to parade for standby. Honestly, i did not have any pop's joy at that point of time because i was too shagged after the 24km. As we march into the parade and the feeling is totally different from all the practices we had done. After the re-entry, parents was supposed to put on the cap for us. I thought my dad did not come after waiting for a long time, so i put on the cap myself and then i saw him. I already told him i was on the 8th column the night before yet he don't know where i was. Nvm, forget it..Haha..That marks the end of BMT phase. I couldn't manage to take many photos with them as we were the second company to move off to ferry, so we only had 10 mins to do everything. Sigh..
At night it was supposed to be our pop night at st james but i had a really bad experienced..Sigh..I think i will never go there anymore..
I will always remember platoon 3, especially section 4 as i continue my next phase of army..all the shits we had done..rock on man!! ^ ^
I like this army song :D
I ask my girl
To take a Walk
To take a Walk
Down Orchard Road
Bypass Mandarin
To Centrepoint
Where we had lunch
At MacDonalds'
We had fillet
And an apple pie
We shared a cup
Of Lemon Lime
I held her hands (Holding her hands)
Look into her eyes
I asked her to
Be my valentine (Be my future wife)
There was one night
There was no light
There was no light
So we used torchlight
Torchlight no light
So we used star light
Star light not bright
So we used purple light
purple light in the valley.
