Yes. This blog died
ever since I'm enlisted.
What to do? Thanks to A R M Y.
It's the 5th week of training
and I'm getting used to my new unit.
Although life now is no different from BMT,
I coping well. and and...
I MAAGED TO CARRY THE 43.7kg
PROJECTILE (AN AMMO ROUND) and
WALKED 100m!!! SO PROUD!
I need to be contented to where I'm posted to.
Being an artillery gunner is someone that many yearn to be.
As for now, I'll stay on with the training.
I know I can pass out as a gunner
and make my parents proud.
I know I can, I can. ((:

THREE more days to POP
*singing
THREE more days to POP and I am sooooo happy, AR!
THIRTEEN weeks, in a blink of an eye.
Why is it that now I think of it,
thirteen weeks passes so quickly
but when you are in camp,
time passes so slowly.
Very ironic indeed.
I presume J coy will be BMTC School 1 04/09 BEST company.
Winning GAMES DAYS and NE PRESENTATION says it all.
Being part of the company, I am very proud indeed.
At least the years ahead, I will remember my
BMT experience were spent in the BEST company.
We fought hard, we see results. Very very proud indeed.
The end of BMT marks the start of unit life.
I heard I'm gonna have a hard time in unit..
Keeping finger crossed that's not gonna happen.
18th December. That's the date to look forward to.
Non-combat unit PLEASEEEEEE!
Till then.
N.
p/s: pls pray hard for me that I wouldn't fall out for the coming 24km graduation march.
Thank you very much.

My Letter From Home
I know I've been procrastinating about blogging. Every weekend, I tell myself to jot down some thoughts of the past week in camp but it seems like it didn't happen. I was either busy hanging out or online, not for blogger but hooked on Facebook and catching the latest episode of Heroes and Gossip Girl.
So, field camp. Last week. Spelt the worst six days I ever been through in my entire life so far. I almost forgot there's a adjective call 'dirty' in my dictionary. SIX day. NO shower, NO washing of hands, FULL camou cream 24/6. Now you may ask how I survived, I'll tell you now. It's my letter from home.
On the forth day in HELL, my mind is blank. I'm no better than a walking zombie after one whole day of digging shell scrape aka grave. As if this were not enough, Sirs an Sergeant's fucked and hurried us again and again trying to make the impossibles possible.
Then it was dawn. We were asked to gather and PC starting lecturing us about discipline and all. To keep things simple, it ended up with distributing letters our family had written for us.
I tried very hard to hold back my tears. I failed. My brother wrote 'In this unfamiliar, insecure, dirty, uncomfortable, dark and away from home environment...' Every adjective were damn fucking true. It's as if he was there. Some more, those words of encouragement like 'the whole family is behind you' were so strong that I managed to pull through it. I read it trice. I know I needed that. Everyone needed that.
I love you, Dad Mom and Bro.
Till then
xoxo

Tick Tock Tick Tock
I know I'm suppose to update after my first bookout. Apparently, the short two days of freedom past as if it was two hours. So here I am now, rushing the very last minutes to pen some thoughts before my second book in at 1925.
Army was HELL for me for the first eight days in camp. Opps, I shouldn't be complaining. I'm so bless that Hari Raya fall on the confine week and we got to go home after 8days instead of 14. I bet my post gonna be sooooooo long if I'm confine for the first two weeks.
Regimentation was not my thing even though I been through four years of NCC training in secondary school. As if this is not enough, Sirs and Sergeants are ever vulgar that you get influence and talk rudely like them. I know this is only the start. I still have 10 weeks to go.
I need to have a positive mindset. I'm trying very hard. One thing I learnt from Army so far is I know my mental strength is stronger everyday.
Thats all for now. LATERS!

HELLOOOO TEKONG
Time check 1:58am, 11 September 2009.
Jotting down my very last thoughts before enlistment.
I was previously very looking forward to army when friends around me enlisted.
Now that it's my turn, the feeling wasn't the same anymore.
To know that I'm gonna shut from the all world, the feeling SUCKS big time.
But not to worry, I've learnt to be strong and am ready for it.
No FACEBOOK ?
No big deal, I've been playing with it
to the very last minute anyway. HAA!
But I'll have to sadly admit
I'm gonna miss FACEBOOK in no time! ):
Endure.
Some things that I'm looking forward now will probably
be my buddy and bunk mates.
I wonder how will they turn out to be.
Am I lucky enough to meet someone familiar?
I hope...
Oh yes! am currently praying very hard to be in Jaguar company.
Heard about their welfare and all. But mostly importantly,
hbe it Jaguar, Hawk or K_ _ _ _, PLEASE PLEASE
bless me with kind and caring bunk mates.
OKAYYY. I've nothing else to say now. Hope everything turn out smoothly.
SEE YA in TWO WEEKS! (:
xoxo
Nigel OUT.
