[[Once a Recruit, now a Private!]]

I'm now officially promoted from a bloody Recruit to a Private!!

And that means I get to keep my hair much longer~!! Yay~!!

Haha....that's besides the point. Anyway, yesterday was my Passing Out Parade (POP) from BMT. How the 13 weeks have flown by. I could still vividly remember the first time I stepped into Pulau Tekong. Having to lug the heavily-laden duffer bag to the 4th storey, that dreaded haircut and lots more.

It feels good that I don't have to travel to Pasir Ris every Sunday just to book in. It's really a chore when you have to step time waiting for the bus and ferry and still have to march back to the company line when you're there.

For now, it's leisure and relax until 19th December. Posting will be out on the 16th. I wonder where I will get posted to. I guess OCS looks like a very distant possibility now, and I have a sickening feeling I might just be thrown into SISPEC though I had indicated my preference not to go there. Well...what can you do if they give you a vocation you do not want? Come to think of it, it's not so easy to post every single individual to a unit or vocation of their choice. You have so many of them around.

I just hope I won't be posted to become a Guardsman or things like that. Damn...watch me curse and swear if I get that.

Anyway, last Friday was my graduation route march. A hefty 24-kilometre route march. Surprisingly, it didn't feel as tiring as the 12-kilometre march. Perhaps marching in the evening and night is alot easier than in the hot afternoon. And I suffered abrasions and rashes on my inner thighs. Quite a sensitive area, to say the least. But it was worth it, seeing how everyone gave their best to last through the whole distance and singing happily as we walked. It certainly was a very memorable event.

And not to forget that after the march, I fell sick and till now still am feeling the effects. The fever, cough and sore throat are pretty much gone, but the flu is here to stay. Sighx...

Looking forward to meeting up with friends during this long-awaited break. There's so much to catch up with each other. And I especially miss those slacking sessions. Hopefully there will also be time to go to the beach and unwind.

Oh yeah, can't forget to congragulate 1 of my buddies from DMC, Joel. Scorpion Company's Best Recruit and Best PT. Way to go man~!! Knew you could do it, and I'm sure all of us are proud of your achievement.

And I'm gonna miss my BMT buddies too. Though knowing each other for only 13 weeks, it already seems like most of us are old pals. The time spent together certainly was memorable, and hopefully I'll see some of them in the same vocation as mine.

Alrighty, time to sign off. 12 more hours and Man United will be playing Benfica. My crystal ball says it's going to be 0-2 to Man United. Just watch out, Man United is back~!!

Haha...till the next time~!!
