Here's day 1 after POP and I'm guessing it's looking good! Had lunch with Bernard and Edna! Blanco Prawn Noodles, JUMBO SIZED! 10 bucks and tasted good! But I wouldn't think it's worth 10 bucks though :P Probably be able to get the same dig elsewhere for let's say, 6.50? Good food has to have a good price tag too!

So anyway, here's the rewind on the BMT journey, but I like to keep my stuffs short, as in summarised, and not how I made myself look stupid by telling my Platoon "Mine's short" when I meant "I'm gonna keep my speech short". Turned myself into a laughing stock with everyone replying, yeah, we know your's short. HAHAHA!

I digress, and always do. So anyway, My whole body's still aching, but after all that in BMT, we really don't care about minor cuts, bruises and aches unless they're gonna evolve into a whole new bigger problem. We push on, like, seriously. I had a 3p.m. on a Saturday to 8a.m. Sunday sleep, and that accounts for about 17 hours of sleep! Pretty good rest if you asked me. Except that I woke up with a feeling akin to a serious hangover! I repeat, I did not have booze, not even a drip of it the day before.

All I had was a graduation parade, 24km route march, graduation parade rehearsals, late night sleep along with section mates trying to complete the annex room, by late I mean all the way till 2.30a.m., n.e. presentation and cheerleading the week before, did I mentioned I slept from Punggol to Punggol the very same day I tried to meet Bernard and Gang and Weilin and gang? Gawd... the guilt...

Back to the main story

After the Parade, we were guided into reception by some of the ushers. I was feeling quite sianed by the fact that I can't camwhore with my section mates and my commanders while everyone snapped away happily. But I still managed to get a few with my Platoon Commander, Officer Commanding and CO, and also one with the Reviewing Officer! Aunt was there to help us feel comfortable and she took some nice photos as well! Many officers of various ranks came over to strike up a conversation, keeping us really occupied, and I was getting amused with the fact that my outspoken PC had trouble keeping topics flowing with my parents around, but oh well, he's the same age as I am, why am I being so irritatingly demanding towards him. Ha ha! Here's the irritating side of me I don't show in camp XD Very vexing to keep up with. XD

And I must not miss out the point of how glad I am in not screwing up the award ceremony, which I always had trouble with, wrong drills, careless mistakes and the inability to hear certain commands since I was always at the furthest end. Thank goodness! (minus out the uber soft SIR!) I guess I did okay! :D

Before all ended, I found Weilin, Daphne, Yunting, Amalina, Kai Ling and Pang Cheng! OMG Heart popped! They were waiting for me! So happy can! haha. We got a few super happy snaps, sounds like a meal or something, jump shots and stuffs! And like the whole world is, as I am, shocked that I got the Company's Best Recruit award. Yes, I'm now officially the CB. XD

24 KM was uber fun! I was saved from the abrasions that usually plagued us during our normal route marches. skin tape all over the place, to the extent that one of the officers asked me why I had tape on during the reception. I know I'm probably the most irritating IC ever for route march, always making sure people marched in steps and with little gaps, but I cut the slack right after 20 km since everyone started to die and the main objective was to reach the destination. so hopefully no one will throw a punch at me when I'm strolling aimlessly on orchard road right?! XD

Graduation Parade Rehearsals were a killer, we went on despite the rain, but oh well, complain what sheet, we all wanna POP right?! Heh! So in the end, we had a happy bunch of graduating and slightly under the weather recruits, this shows we've been training! XD

Through the days we've been together for the past 17 weeks, we've been complaining about when this is all gonna end, and at our last week, we were still complaining, about how fast this is all gonna end, and the time we didn't have to have together. I'm gonna miss you guys!
