wohooo its down to the last 4 days of our foundation term!! its been quite a journey with my bunkmates esp those who were together with me since tekong theres arnd 7 of them, memories were forged, goin thru whatever that came, when it was so tiring and persevering on together. i tink i m gonna miss them, its hard not to i guess after goin thru so much tog...

last few book outs were great, goin out shoppin/ eating and just chilling... last week end was the best altho we booked out later. we went to plaza sing to get some stuff, then onto ion, wisma, taka and then J8  =)

nights out on thurs was our last, caught step up 3 (the final dance with LEDs was so amazing) , also had a good meal at carl's jr.  for this week , we had cheveron's nite (smth like a happy hour nite at cheveron's  club) and the good thing is that for this week its a 4 day work week since monday is off in lieu for me!

toughest week over :P

finally outfield week is OVER!! what a week, waking early in the mornings, with runs/ strength circuits trainings to simulate fatigue, and outfield till 10pm when u reach back your bunk. repeating itself till our last overnight outfield yesterday. well our outfield was interesting, lots to learn. digging  was also a challenge for many of us.. muscles aching but was much less than those of bmt in tekoing  :P catching up with rest at home now.. this week would be a short bookout then booking in tonight for sunday's final high key event. off days on mon and  off in lieu on tues for sunday :) we are now halfway thru foundation term,  next week is gonna be a rather short work week yayy:)

steamboat buffet at imm crystal jade during nights out : pekking duck :P:P

week 2!

boook outt!! week 2 at scs seemed to pass much faster than our 1st week, probably cause of the faster pace and more activities. last week was well spent and 1st book in with civilian clothes at 9+ pm was so nice, plus camp is now in mainland. ate out with family etc to make up for lost time. nite snacks in camp are ever so good with varying cakes/bread/cookies blah, last nite was one of the best, we had brownies/ smth like pineapple tarts , custard buns and milo wooots !  friday was the peak cause we had  SOC full run downs, then cheerleading/dance practices for sports day... haha we danced to kesha's tick tock and gwen stefani's wind it up, was quite enjoyable doin funny actions with bunch of great buddies. sports day and family engagement week todae, brought family around scs showed them my bunk and bed ...

Vesak hol break was really a great breather for most of us i guess, the past week flew past while i was trying to recover from a awful fever/ flu. sore throat was one of the worse i ever got.. havent really had the time to blog cause there was quite some  homework/ items to get/ replenish after field camp. had 3 days mc last week due to high fever, was given 2 packs of drips thru intravenous injection, luckily it was just one poke, heard from many other frens they were poked a couple of times bef the veins were found O,O   field camp was quite interesting where i had my first experience firing blank rounds, doing the movement drills and shouting under gunfire. the bangs are super loud and u needa shout damm loud to make sure ur grp can hear u haha.. there were quite a lot of high kneeling with our load bearing vests, helments and rifles so really had to bear the knee aches...took my weight after field camp and lost like 3-4 Kgs !!! amazing ! never lost so much so quickly in a week...

booked out on thursday nite and was suprised to see aunt/cousin at whitesands... cause my mum/bro were supposed to fetch me... waited for mum/bro to reach then we went to ikea for dinner with family/ cousin. it was such a luxury to have great food after field camp HEHE  =)  its so fast now im a month into BMT since i enlisted on 26 Apr, one more month then i will be thru!! :P had quite some home work to do, reflection using SAF core values and commander's appraisals.  wuld be Situational test next week so outfield for thurs fri sat, 12 Km route march to our Sit test area..
