3 weeks of my army life has past & it definetly was a whole new experience for me. It's not something one would go through everyday. I remember the first week where i was still adjusting to the new life & it was kinda hard at first. Firstly was night time as I had a hard time falling asleep even though i was freaking exhausted as im not use to sleeping without a bolster. We also had to wake up at 5am and do some exercises in the morning. The freaking boots gave me so much blisters on my feet & it was freaking painful. There is more like learning all the do's & don't, commands, the marching moves, all the exercises moves & rifle handling etc.
I remember there was this day where they let us rest in our room quite early in the night & well let's just say there was a reason behind it. All of us were happily brushing our teeth & getting ready for bed & out of a sudden a fire drill alarm was sound. So everyone at 1st thought that it was a joke but fark it was freaking real. So everyone was like rushing to grab our helmet, first aid stuff, id tag, pails & the fire extinguishers. These are the stuff to bring everytime there's a fire drill & we have to shout "FIRE, FIRE!" all the way till we reach the ground floor. It was hilarious lol & our timing was horrible. Those that were showering came down with just a towel haha.
There was also a day where we were told to sleep at 8.30pm & everyone was like shock as damn why do we have to sleep so early. We had no choice as we have to obey the lights out time so everyone just went to bed. At around 3am they woke us up & told us to change to our uniform & we didn't even had the time to brush our teeth & wash our faces. To our surprise we had to march to the Ladang as we'll be having our Rifle Ceremony where we will be getting our Rifle's for the very first time. We had to shout "With this, i will defend my country" & we have to snatch it hard from our sergeant. Haha i kinda screw it up as uppon receivng my rifle, i went to the wrong place as i was suppose to line up at the front haha blur cock me.
There's still more like punishment & stuff but one thing good about the platoon that im in is that they are fun people especially the section that im in. There's teamwork & cooperation. There are times where one screw up or makes a mistake but we all learned from it. I feel that it change us not only our physical state but mentally as well. Some days the training can be so tough till everyone is damn shag & there are aches all over our body not to mention training on the bloody hot sun till everyone skin is getting darker & darker. Too bad we couldn't bring in our own food or mp3 but other than that life in Tekong is pretty alright. Everyone is looking forward to our Passing Out Parade(POP) & ours will be on
