end of journey
Monday, June 9, 2008
9th june 2008 marks the completion of my ns journey. it has been a fruitful ride throughout the 2years of my life. generally speaking. saf hav taught me alot in terms of character-building & team playing. many people may think its a "waste" of 2years. thus trying hard to avoid as much as they can. but it can be fun.exciting.unforgettable though trainings can be tiring.dull.routine. being nsmen means am operationally ready to fight in a war! despite forgetting how to use a rifle 'fiercely'. hahas. i remembers vividly the day i reported to the greenery island of pulau tekong. accompanied by my parents, twinty aunt.kuan & ah ma. was kinda scared.worried as i wasnt sure if i could adapt to the environment & trainings. worst still. my physical condition wasnt that good either. the scene where i had to bid farewell to my parents was uncontrollable (frankly. i felt like crying at that point of time! haas) but was "brave" enough to hold back. haas. but i hav to admit that i teared each time i called back home during the first 2weeks confinement. haas *shame.shame* physical trainings were tough. i couldnt keep up with the rest of my platoon-mates. and often get criticism from commanders. as i was pretty 'fat' compared to the rest of bmt frenz. soo it gets really annoying for not being able to reach to their level of fitness. fortunately i had a great bunch of section mates who were always there to encourage me. no doubt i enjoyed every single moment with these people. esp route-marches, field camps & live firings. standard obstacle course (soc) & ippt were my most feared activity in tekong. till now i dont think i can jump over the low walls or hav the courage to attempt the jacob's ladder. haas. while chin-ups & standing broad jump were my ippt weakest link. the day we always looking forward to - passing out parade. and that was only 1/8 of my ns life. haas.  bmt platoon-mates had a week's block break before being posted to the force. where i spent the rest of my ns journey with aircrafts & runway. this was the place where i had the most complaints in my entire life. haas. certain people & environment were juz undesirable. the only person am close with is bin. first person to talk to on the first day at air force school. a friend.ns buddy and running.kaki. juz couldnt imagine life without him for the past 21mths (thanks buddy!) not that bad. least ive seen someone's true colours at the end of the day. well. someone who selfishly thinks only for himself. someone who irks me with his attitudes & actions. sad to say. i was wrong to treat you as one of us. i wished i could complain more. but come to think of it. it pollutes my bloggy and distress my readers visiting. words cant describe my experiences during my 2years stint with the saf. all i could say is... ... ORD LOH~~ cheers.ciaoz Labels: best from me Posted by BEST at 2:32 PM
