Graduated!

Finally i've graduated from Sispec. I'm proud because i graduated with a platoon's best trainee award. I got a certificate from Sispec and a pluck from my echo company. The last 2 days happen to be the most tiring days of Sispec training. That includes the 32km route march, the graduation rehearsal and clearing of belongings/stores. During the graduation i'm one of the 4 platoon best so i had to stand in front of the whole company. We had to stand there for nearly 1 hour in full battle order. The bag and the SBO's weight plus the hot sun was enough to wear me out...i nearly black out for a moment but i hanged on. I bent down occasionally to rest and got a scolding of course haha.

In the evening, we set out for our 32km route march. The march turn out to be the most tiring shit i have to go through in my entire life so far. Because i was the platoon's best i had to be the platoon ic. At every rest point i wasn't allowed to put my bag down until i got my platoon organised, make sure everyone is back and then reported to the officer in charge. My OC didn't want us to sing and might as well..because i dun think anyone of us had the breath to sing anyway. The whole march was fucking boring...the only thing we can look forward to is the next rest point..many of them fell asleep while marching..how they do it i dunno haha. Our OC led one 4km you will never imagine a 48 years old can walk so fast. He completed it in less than half an hour..i nearly died after that.

Of course at the end of the march..there's that sense of satisfaction and it came together with abrasions and cramps on the legs haha. We weren't given much time to rest after the march and we had to fall in again for our graduation parade. This time i didn't feel dizzy standing there and i got my cert and chevron from a colonel. He looks so young and so gay you will never imagine he's a big shot in the army wahaha.

After the parade came the clearing of belongings and stores. This turn out to be tiring too..the whole platoon was so tired most of them were reluctant to cooperate with me. But at the end of the day its done and i'm out of there. The whole platoon got their posting except me, maybe because i'm a regular. My buddy got into the PTI course...11 going on to ASLC...7 going to Signals...1 ADA and the rest combat engineering. There's this guy who very much want to get into the PTI course at the start of sispec and he worked hard for it...he even got sispec's best PT award. Guess where he's posted to...ASLC...he was so sad after that he didn't talk to anyone. Well i'm glad i got today to rest because signals and PTI had to report this morning haha.

Sispec finally coming to an end!

Well i'm left with 4 more days in sispec...the days from now onwards will be pretty slack and relax except for my 32km route march on wednesday. I really hope the pace will be slow because if it's fast i'm afraid i won't be able to take it haha. Of all the events in army..i hate route marches the most! Had a 16km route march that day and my PC walked so fast it felt like a fast march...my legs are still aching after that march!

I didn't managed to cross over to OCS this time...i was so damn close. I was one of the 2 in my company selected for the school interview..but then the other guy got it..i didn't...dammit...its sad...but i have to accept it. Shall remain a sergeant for now then...who knows..life might be better. Hope good things will come my way soon.

Met Sam just now...my poor darling is sick. Looking after her now...she's down with the flu. Forgive me if my blogs don't make sense nowadays because i don't have the mood and energy to blog too much after a long week haha.

My interview this week

I asked a friend yesterday who has been through it. Looks like this interview ain going to be easy. There's 2 interview...one company one school. For company i heard that there's going to be the OC, 2IC, 4 PCs, 4 PSs and probably sergeant major..omg..11 to 1..i hope i don't screw it up..i'm sure they'll bombard me..especially the PSs and Sergeant major..because they're screwed up people haha.

If i get through the company one they'll be the school one. There will be the 7 OCs, CO, 3 captains from OCS and dunno which other big shots..at least 11 to 1 again haha OMG. Why is it so unfair..why do i have to go through all these just to get there while some others just get there like that. I'm gonna be damn proud of myself if i make it though..i can boast that i've been through more shit than them haha.

Watched seoul raiders yesterday...nice show. Only that the gangsters fight without guns..which is quite unrealistic..but makes it more action-packed haha.



Going to watch I Do I do later haha..going to enjoy my weekend fully!

Guess what i'm back enjoying another long weekend hooah!

Its Chinese New Year again! Its the year of the cock this time. Hope everything will go well for you for me. May we all enjoy good fortune and lots of prosperity. Haha ok enough of all these. Added a new song sung by a trio of sore voice singers namely Bryan Adams, Sting and Rod Steward. Ah Du will definitely not be out of place joining them for the song...oh..but then again..i think he was still a construction worker then when this song was released..haha

Just got back from visiting...feeling slightly feverish..stupid body of mine is just so damn weak. Had a long tiring week..finished the worst army exercise ever..exercise nutcracker. We were required to dig shellscrapes and firetrenches over the night. If you've been through it you will understand how tiring it is. In the middle of the night you can see people slamming the spade into the ground and leaning on it to sleep...haha actually i'm talking about myself. My buddies laughed so hard at my that sleeping position they made fun of me for the rest of the week. Anyway while sleeping, my stupid sergeant stole my magazine..my name was taken down but thank God i'm not required to go back for guard duty during this long break..Thank God Thank God...you can imagine my relief. One of my other platoon mate was not so fortunate however..he too got his magazine stolen and he has to book in this friday for guard duty wahaha..he showed everyone a black face for the rest of the week after the guard duty list came out...who cares he's fucked up haha.

After not sleeping much for 3 days 2 nights for nutcracker..we had section live firing the next day. This took place near NTU..it lasted till around 12 midnight and we made our way back to tekong after that. They had to make us clean our arms all the way till 4am before allowing us to sleep at 5am. And guess what time is waking up timing...7.15am. What happened to SAF 7th core value CARE FOR SOLDIERS man haha.

Nevermind its over now and the rest of my sispec days will be easy from now on because we have completed most of the major programs. My PC told me that he had nominated me to cross over to OCS..2 people in my platoon got it..you can imagine how happy i was when i heard it. But i still have to pass an interview..i really hope i can make it over..guys do wish me luck.

Oh most of you don't know..my application to be an army regular has been approved..i'm officially an army regular now. But stupid SAF is still paying me NSF's allowance..how inefficient can they be. I will go in and make a difference...oh will i get sued for typing this? Opps

I'm a soldier now..will be a soldier till i'm old if all goes as planned. Army has changed me a bit. I learn to appreciate my weekends, bed, house, family, bike, gf everything thats on mainland after joining the army. Ok don't laught..I even have the obssession of keeping in steps with the person in front of me whenever i walk. Left right left right left right left....haha ok enough of my nonsense for now..will be booking in this Sunday..stay tune for more nonsenses during the week cheers! Gong Xi Fa Cai!
