Life in 2SIR so far has been anything but fun. The first thing when we reached the camp is to see HQ NCC, which many of us see it as the best job that we can get as an NSF. The rest of the camp is huge and look quite rundown. The first time we step into our bunks, we immediately appreciate what we have in SISPEC. The pillows were shapeless, floors were dusty and they is only 1 table (1m by 1m) and 4 chairs in a room of 11. WTF!

Anyway, the last 2 days have been very uneventful, except for that one time we played soccer in the parade square in the evening. There was really nothing to do because we had no men under us, and the current batch of men is ORDing soon. That means that the whole camp is pretty much deserted except for a few people (cos they clearing leave). Next intake is in June, meaning we have abt 3 months more of slacking!! OMG!

Seriously thinking of buying PSP when the next pay comes. Anybody got any lobang?

Good morning Sergeant! Now that another chapter of the NS life has ended, it is time to open a new chapter as a Specialist of the army and a leader of six men.

Our Taiwan trip has ended. And i have to say that the trip IS filled with many defining moments. There are many firsts that happen in Taiwan. Here are a few:

First cold weather experience. Coldest was 5 Degrees Celsius in the mountains.

First time onboard a plane. Good thing, i wasn't alone flying for the first time.

First time shopping spree with amazing bunch of guys inn a foreign country

Many more lar.

Here are some of the pics! Enjoy! Zul's and Hadi's pics here.

Looking ahead.

Group photo. A CKS memorial hall, we posed!
Concentrating hard.
Taking off to Taiwan!

Now that we have all survived ASLC, now, and for the rest of my NS life, my job will be a section commander in 2SIR located at Amoy Quee Camp. Haiz... Not fair... So many of the guys get to go BMTC as instructor, but we kena posted to unit. Waiting for the posting results was nerve breaking, but once it was announced, our dreams of "tekan"ing our recruits, wearing jungle hats during outfields, eating BMT cookhouse food... all dashed.. Some like Zul gets singled out and kena SIW.

Anyway, good luck to all the guys from 41st ASLC Golf Coy in whatever you are doing. Hope to see u guys soon! Is that a roger?

What a week...!

With Grand Slam II and 32km route march over, it's now left with 1 more obstacle to go. A 3 week training at Taiwan! Since most of the people who went through Taiwan training said that it would be a fun time for us, i am quite optimistic that we would enjoy our training there. The only thing is that the weather would be very cold especially in the mountains/hills.

4 more weeks and we shall finally become a specialist. I am still hoping that i get posted to P.Tekong. Hopefully, i don't kena Guards unit. Caan't take it if got another route march.

Now preparing my stuff for the trip next week. Another big chunk of my pay lost.... F***....

Another long weekend of rest is here. Have been in and out of urban warfare training area(which i can't reveal for obvious reasons) these last few days. Next week, there will be another milestone to be reached, a 32km route march(wahhh...). Hmm.. looks like i have to start preparing myself for the gruelling walk through the night. In this modern era that we live in, i still don't see why we need to walk so far to reach objective... What's the use of inventing planes/helicopters/tonners/etc etc...? Damn army lar...

We are now halfway through becoming 3rd Sergeants. Hopefully we can endure through the rest of the journey ahead.

Looking forward to going Taiwan! It should be freezing there!

Long weekend of rest is finally here. Its been a fucking tiring week for us. Again, the weather fuck us up, causing some of the training to be cancelled. Isn't it good? Not if they decide to make up for lost training time during weekends...

Anyway another milestone set for me this week. I managed to run 10km in 51min 51 sec! My first time running that distance, so it is quite an achievement! He he.. There are other ppl who could run faster than me but took their time to finish the run because the pass timing is 65min. Anyway morale was high after the run, so we did a fantastic war cry after that. Can see that our enciks are quite pleased with us that day.

We had a tiring day yesterday, charging uphill around 5 times. The most person should be me because i was holding the most "siong" appointment as a runner, who had to carry a fucking heavy signal set and chiong at the same time... 5 times...

Anyway, me looking forawrd to the long weekend! Merry Christmas and enjoy your holidays people!
