National Service so far..

Wow it's already been 4 weeks since I entered NS..and what a ride it has been. oh my god I'm totally shagged out every single day but the people around me (My bunkamtes & platoon mates) are my motivation. And thank god my sergeants are reasonable people even though I'm in Kestrel.Yup.. Kestrel.. The rumours about Kestrel Coy was that it was really unreasonable and sadistic but I think the other platoons are really fierce compared to mine. But we still get the 'Kestrel' treatment of spamming push-ups..

Anyway.. The vegetarian food in Tekong is FUCKING AWESOME. Oh my god I eat so much everyday till I could puke. I thought the food in army was going to be in rations and really bad but it's actually really good and tastes quite nice. they serve stuff like vegetarian fish, vegetarian abalone and vegetarian chicken and many others. Yea so the food was okay I guess. But I had a constant craving for Nasi Lemak, Laksa and Briyani for the confinement week which was settled INSTANTLY as I got out of camp..

The punishments are really tough. The holding of the push-ups in position is really painful.. Ugh.. and the phrase I hear the most now is 'STREAMLINE YOUR FUCKING BODY'... Like.. how am I supposed to streamline my fucking body when I already can't hold my body up... 

When I entered I thought I was going to be the SABO KING which causes all the punishments for the platoon and receive the most scolding because I knew I was THAT BLUR.. and really inattentive but for the first 2 weeks I wasn't even scolded individually (Okay actually once for not tucking in my shirt) but that's about it. But the week after confinement was HELL. I think it was the lack of sleep but I was scolded so badly. It was live range and we were supposed to collect our magazine with ammunition.. So we lined up to sign the piece of paper to indicate that we collected our ammunition. I signed it..AND FORGOT TO TAKE THE AMMUNITION. And I went all the way to the firing point and when it was my turn to fire..  I touched my vest and in my head I was like 'FUCKKKKKK!! THERE'S NO AMMUNITION' I knew then and there I was screwed already... So I told the Chief Safety Officer there that I forgot to take the ammunition and he was like 'FUCK! YOU ARE A DUMB FUCKER' and my platoon commander was like 'FUCK YOU, GO AND TAKE NOW' . So I went to clear my weapon first and the sergeant there was like 'YOU'RE A FUCKER!' and after clearing my weapon I ran towards the ammo collection point and as I ran I could hear the voice from the control room over the speakers 'YOU DUMB CHEEBAI, YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO YOUR PLATOON AND YOUR COUNTRY'.. so I ran to the ammunition point and once again I was scolded by the sergeantsthere.. ' FUCKER YOU CHEEBAI WASTE EVERYONE'S TIME!!' and I took my ammunition and ran back to the firing point and as I ran another sergeant yelled 'RUN FASTER LIKE YOU CHEEBAI'...By the time I reached I was already panting and my heart racing and my arms shaking.. and guess what.. I failed the first round of shooting and had to re-shoot.. Sigh.. so now I'm known as 'Recruit Cheebai'..

Yup. So that was my first major scolding in the army... hopefully I'll stop being so blur..Anyway this whole thing is actually a fun experience I'm meeting people I would never have met in my life and making friends I wouldnt have been friends with.. I just know once the 2 months of BMT is over I'm definately gonna miss it..But for now I'm dreading to even go back on Sunday night.. Sigh..

yup that's about it..
