What else to say? It's finally over. Right now, I am having my block leave till next Monday, where I would need to book-in by 2015hrs at Tanah Merah again.
Sincerely hope the new recruits don't fuck us up. I sincerely hope too the old guys knew that BMT won't be easy and the discipline must be there, please guys... Don't let this short break take away your discipline!
For now, I have a set of training regime I need to follow throughout this short break. I need to start cultivating the discipline to do training on my own as our BMT phase would be very much filled with theory classes and tests and much lesser PTs.
Now, other than training, I seriously need to figure out what else I need to do. Darn, many of my friends are packed on weekdays with work and schools, so can't go out with me even if they wanted to. Maybe I should pop-by JE Library and spend my time there reading some History books to gain some magnificent infos. I should also go to the gym to do some dragonboat training regime and the swimming pool for some practice for my CAT-1 test that will be coming up during my BMT days.
So many things to do, so little time. I still need to write my daily happenings on my journal so the sergeants and sirs can read! Troublesome but I don't mind. I'm already gotten use to the military life, it's less stressful than even staying at home. BMT will be the best days in these 2 years of my National Service, I intend to make the best out of it. Making friends, having fun and other stuffs. We play hard, we train harder, we do our best.
I ain't looking forward to my time in BSC though, it would be lessons everyday depending on which vocation you are posted to. There will be rarely any PTs and you will have to do trainings yourself.
There are some interesting things my boatswain share with us about!
We all know IMOS is infested with rats, especially the dumping area opposite us. But why isn't our building infected with these pests? Because we ain't allowed to bring in snacks! He told us even though the BSC blocks are much further away from the dumping area, there are rats spotted even on the corridors of the building. BSC trainees are allowed to bring in their own snacks, but those darn rodents bite their way through the steel lockers! Jeez!!! There are also many traps laid around to hamper their activities. He also shared about this one guy from BSC who already graduated and now serve in the Changi Naval Base. That guy, was a magnificent pest-controller. In a day, he can catch about 3-5 rats with the traps he carry around! That guy's a genius! We also talked about a lot of stuffs. My boatswain is going to ORD soon though. During the first week of our BMT, he would leave us already. He is a great boatswain who train cadets up with his extremely harsh doctrine.
That's about it for today I guess. The sun is up high and it's time to run!
I need to start training. Later people~

The 7th week.
Hi guys. Wondering why I am back home right now?
I'm preparing to meet my maker. LOL! No lah, I am getting ready to face the final results of the bone scan. Hope I won't get down PES to C. People, pray for me and wish me luck!
This week's been hell so far. The amount of punishment we took for the lack of discipline/sharp decline of discipline amounts to infinite. How would like to do infinite counts of 4 of chicken back-side? I didn't took part in anyway. Fell severely unwell thanks to some fucked up headache. Gotten light duties for two days and today, I finally be able to go back on track.
Oh, in case you guys didn't know, Sir Zhan Hong allowed me to run again! It's great news to be able to join the company in Cadence's Run. Today, there's the IMOS CHALLENGE. It involves different kind of game activities and I took part in the swimming and navigating one. I'm a genius when it comes to direction, hope I won't let the company down - or rather, the House of Victory!!! We'll be competing with other BSC houses. They are Endurance, Fearless, Formidable and Bedok. House of Victory is for the BMTC recruits like us!
Thank goodness we have many guys over here who are physically strong. May the House of Victory win this round just like how we did for IMOS 15!!!
Just yesterday, a big hoohaa happened.
Wee Chueng, a bully in the company, always pick on the weaker people and those who think he can mess with. After weeks of bullying and poking fun at Ming Huat, our company's guy who can't really speak English, Ming Huat flare up and push him. They cause a commotion, and Ming Huat got 3 days of confinement and Wee Chueng got 2. How unfair it is!
During our admin time though, a bunch of people went ahead and bully Wee Chueng for what he did today. Well, not only today actually, that guy's been a pain in the ass since enlistment day. A stupid guy who think he can do whatever he wants. Always try to slack off when he can. He's a guy that most of the company hated a lot. He's in my hate list as well.
After being strip of his clothing and had Colgate toothpaste all over his body, that loser can't take it and went to report to the sergeants. This cause another commotion and all who were in the room kena fuck up down left right, including me. The people who were directly involved refuse to own up, then in the end, when their names were called out by the officers, they receive more punishment. One guy got charged for not having integrity.
Fuck up shit is fuck up shit.
Now, Saravanan is completely sick of this company and wish to resign already. I don't know how many more will follow up like this. I mean, look... Even I got sick of this company already... I sincerely hope he will stay and last through the end of this. We just have to last till next Tuesday's East Coast Park 7km run, and that'll be the end of PTP. After a week of block leave, we will begin our 3 months of BMT.
I must persevere. The only thing that kept me going throughout the days and weeks and months, are those photos of my old self which I am trying to regain, and when it comes to those moments where I would faint from fatigue and stress, it's the thought of you that flashes in my head that kept me gritting my teeth and enduring all the pain I experienced.
I want to be a better man, someone capable of taking care of you. Though our paths will never meet this I know, and I miss you so. You're gone, but thank you for constantly appearing when I'm near my breaking point. Thanks hon', though our mutual feelings had faded since ages past.

4th & 5th week.
This is my 5th week actually.
Didn't manage to update on time. Well, on the 4th week there isn't anything worth noting down other than punishments, punishments, punishments. Oh, also out of 64 people, 34 people had their phone confiscated. Why? Those smart people couldn't stand the loneliness in camp and needs to constantly be on contact with their girlfriend so yeah. My phone wasn't confiscated though cause I didn't done anything wrong. :)
Back to the 5th week.
Wonder why the hell am I posting this on Thursday? I'll tell you why. I had to get my bone scan at both my shin. Doctor says the scan is to detect any stress fracture on my shin. I arrived at 0800hrs and got in early. Got an injection which doctor says it suppose to help my blood circulation(?)??? Seriously, I am confused. He just told me to walk around and come back in at 1445hrs. That 6 bloody hours!!! So I got home. Informed my Boatswain about not being able to catch the bus to Changi Naval Base at 1215hrs and meet the book-in timing 1230hrs. He acknowledged and told me to be back by 1830hrs. That's fine, I guess.
On the other hand, I forget to inform you guys about a tragic event that happened to us Chieftain Division. Someone lied to my instructors about being able to use the heads(toilet) as and when he needs and booooom! He was made to write 1000 lines of 'I will not lie to my instructors again' which obviously, that lazy bastard fail to make it in time. This in turn, cause his buddy to do the same, only this time both of them have to write 2000 lines. Now, they are given the weekends to write 2000 lines which is very easily done but both of them failed. In the end, their whole boat - Chieftain boat 2(I'm in Chieftain boat 1) had to write, each of them 1000 lines.
As if that is not enough. Just as when most of them had completed their 1000 lines, someone from Chieftain boat 2 lied to the instructor yet again - this time, about touching the fence during punishment. NOW, the whole of Chieftain Division HAD TO WRITE 1000 LINES. We wrote. When some of us were close to completion with 12hrs left to deadline, 3 guys were taking their time to write their lines. 1st guy, is the guy who lied to the instructor about him being given the permission to use the heads(toilet) as and when he needs. 2nd guy is the 1st guy's buddy. Both of them are lazy buggers and are always causing trouble for the company. The 3rd guy, is from my cabin. He's a simpleton. I tend to close one eye when he make mistakes but now he's getting from bad to worse. He no longer listen to anyone's word and for a swollen foot, he dare ask the M.O for 3 month status. BLOODY HELL. My leg is about to break thanks to some random stress fracture on my shin, and I had only a 1 month status. Seriously, want to Chao Keng also Chao Keng the right way mah, bloody hell.
Whatever. I hope when I book in later today after my bone scan, nothing will happen. I don't want to go back just to find out now the whole Company, Chieftain and Centurion Division, must write 1000 lines per man. God, I pray to you, help those 3 asses or get them into some accident so they get kicked out of the course instead!
Though, I am most likely to be kicked out of course thanks to these legs of mine. This seriously blows. Also, I landed myself with another X-ray scan for my lungs/chest. I've been coughing for 3 weeks, so I reported sick and visit the M.O. to ask for more medicine. Darn the M.O. ask me to go CMPB - MCC for an X-ray scan on the 18th on April! DAMMIT. WHY CAN'T I HAVE A NORMAL, FRUITFUL MILITARY LIFE!?
Fuck it. Forget it.
If I really have to be down pes, I shall just accept fate.
Hopefully once I really kena down pes C or D, my legs will recover and I'll appeal for a change of pes status back to pes B.
