The last full week is finally over, and comes next is the 24km RM and Graduation Parade (GP), and finally BMT will be over. Last Sunday the 29, I was at home packing CV clothes for Recruit's Evening. Then I dotaed a few rounds, before being sent to White Sands by my parents. Met Melvin from IITSC at the ATM. After a short chat, we parted ways. I went to find Jem and Flo on the 3rd floor, and then we headed to NTUC where Jem bought some snacks for the last full week of BMT. Met Gerald and JiaWei there, and Gerald stuffed some stuff into my field pack because his had no space, lolz. When we reached the FUP (form up place), the platoon had already left, and we took a random bus to the SFT.
Monday the 30th, and I was bitten by an unknown insect in the morning, 3 full bites. A bunk full of people, but I was the only one bitten, wtf. There was light rain, and we still marched to the cookhouse, and had a lot of semulas thanks to someone on duty. Before IPPT began, I was having vomitting symptoms and phlegm, and I wasn't feeling well. Nevertheless, I continued with the IPPT. At the SBJ station, 3SG Khairi was there, and he teased me that my total score so far was 14, which is Bey's age, lolz. Did 12 chinups, 243cm SBJ, 10.2s for shuttle run and 40 situps. Missed a perfect static score if not for the shuttle run. During 2.4km, I ran behind JunRong all the way. Clocked a timing of 10.40s for the run, lolz. I became a temporary IC because Terence went for Games Day practice. I made everyone being down their stores for checking and returning, and luckily I did so too, because after that there was a fire drill, and since we were already downstairs, we had nothing with us. Poor Nigel who was in bunk had to wear helmet down, lawl. We proceeded to the parade square to see a demonstration on putting out fire. Before lunch, I was pumped for the platoon being late. We returned our stores after lunch, and Aaron dropped by our bunk with his guitar and sang nursery rhymes with us, LOL. We had a talk by the Community Chest, and then an MI survey, where we kena punished Ninja-style, where we raised our hands up high and open our mouth, lolz. We had a company-level sizing after that, to align everyone according to their height. But due to our slow movement, we kena pumped. We ran singing to dinner, Sending arms time, we were supposed to change to admin, but someone on duty said later. We witnessed the tug of war between Viper and Whiskey, and had to rush back upstairs to get our bag, because we didn't go up in the first place. That night, my runny nose began, and I wished HongYee an advance birthday wish, lolz.
Tuesday the 1st began, and I ate medicine to feel better, and I didn't sing while marching. SOC was next, and I passed all the obstacles, and got teased by 3SG Mahathir this time, to do it for my girlfriend, lolz. I fell down twice during the run, once at the horizontal beam, and another at the ramp, ow. I accidentally turned early again at the end, but luckily I managed to run all the way to the end. I vomited there, and drank from my water bag, and nearly got disqualified because I had no proof that the bag was full while running for my SOC. Ran singing to lunch after that, and stood for 10mins in the sun to prepare us for GP. Someone got caught moving, and we had to restart the timer, haiz. Had canteen break after that, and I bought redbull and coke, which on equal proportions, tasted like cough syrup. I felt bloated for no reason, and had difficulty finishing my coke. My bunk then packed Lance's items to be sent back to him, and discovered his blister skin in a ziploc bag, LOL. We had a rehearsal for OC Evening after that, and sadly we didn't make an impact. Had CO dialogue after that, and we had to wait because Whiskey took a long time with him. We found out our scores that night, and I was surprised that my BTP was 31/32, though I don't remember hiting that many targets. I was made the narrator for OC Evening because I suggested ways to improve the selection, lame. My SOC timing was 6.22s, which is a pass. That night, we tried to improvise the skit, but sadly not many people were keen to help. Had our haircut after that, and I accidentally brought down a $10 instead of $2, and got my all change back in coins. That night when everybody was already sleeping, I heard some noises downstairs, and saw Taurus kena pumped. Unlucky people.
Wednesday the 2nd, we woke up earlier because of CO Parade. Had extra breakfast too, like got additional ham and bread, lolz. During the parade, I nearly swung into Alfy as I was feeling drowsy. After the parade, we were made to march round and round the parade square thanks to someone on duty, and sadly I was the rightmost man, so I had to take the biggest steps whenever turning. Had our rehearsal again after that, and this time it was in the LT with 2LT Evan watching. Had a fast nap, before AGR began, after initially cancelled but the rain stopped. Got tekan during warmup, though I forgot why. We changed to veslac for lunch, and it was chicken rice! The last time we had it was during outration sometime back, so I couldn't ask for more rice. This time, I spammed it. We did great for OC Evening, and the mascots were awesome. All female manga characters, lolz. We watched a video of our journey in BMT, and then went back coy line for pizza, woo. The cheese sausage was awesome. I received my coy shirt that night too.
Thursday the 3rd began, and we had a rehearsal for our GP. We kena the most shit because we are the last contingent. We had outration lunch in our coy shirt, and we found out who was the company best. It's Nigel from my bunk, lolz. Games Day was next, and sadly we lost everything. Met Benjamin and WenKai from DMSS, but no sign of Desmond, though I scanned the Ninja contingent multiple times. Found a mistake on Ninja's coy shirt, lolz. We rushed to change into our CV clothes for dinner, before going to Recruits' Evening. It was mostly boring, though I was quite awake when they were about to sing Nobody by Wonder Girls. But sadly, the girls disappointed me. Met Melvin, and he was bored too, LOL. I found out that night that my shirt print was blurry compared to others, but they couldn't do anything about it because it was made in Malaysia, haiz. Scorpion got infected by H1N1, and they were withdrawn from the hall.When we got back to bunk, TungKhng had a fever, but he took some medicine and rest.
Friday the 4th, our last bookout day. I forgot to bring admin shirt down, but there was no 5BX anyway because 2LT Joel was missing. We were packing stuff when there was a sudden fallin to check our temperature. We had extra rehearsal for GP, and it was so hot I was dripping sweat. All along I was carrying 4litres of water on me for rehearsal, but found out that we only need 2litres, zz. So I poured away 2litres of it. From super hot day, it suddenly rained, like some hurricane. In FBO, we walked under shelter to the parade square, and did wet weather programme twice, before doing a normal weather programme as th erain subsided. As we were marching to dinner, 2LT Joel stopped us halfway, nearer to the non-Muslim side, and most of my platoon were happy, lawl. We cleared our cupboard after that, and I got pumped for being messy, lolz. Gene invited me to PLC because he was treating the crew, but due to me cooking out late, I told him I couldn't make it. Went to Geylang to eat roti john (changed into CV in car), but sadly they put inside even after I said don't. Went to pasarmalam near my home after that, to find a handphone cover and bag. Found them, and they cost $14 for a bag, pouch and screen protector, not bad. That's it for my last full week of BMT. Till next time then, goodnight.
