first book out!

Finally, my long awaited first book out is here! and it is shiok lah. can wait until mon noon then book in, going to have a full day to myself tmr. at first we were initally sian diao when we heard our book out time is 1800 hrs. we saw delta company booking out at 11. then we realise that they got to be back by tmr night, then we are all laughing.

I was posted to ECHO company. all the morbidly obease go there lah. we were joking tat the building echo is occupying is specially built with reinforcement. too heavy liao. even in the LT, the chairs were all slanting downwards. a result of all the previous batch of echo recruits. i was in platoon 3, and we stayed at the 4th level. so 4 bloody flights of stairs to climb up and down everyday. damm gd exercise. luckily we were not in the top level. life there is not as bad as i think lah. bed so comfortable. food is so damm good. think it won't help in the weight losing looking at the type of food they give. still remember got 3 meals continuous that were western style. and they give rice, potato, bread and french fries!!!! lose weight or gain weight?? i didn't dare to eat much. after one week, i still weigh the same as when i book in. dunno if it is the weighing scale problem. and we got to lose 1 kg everyweek. so cannot anyhow binge during weekend.

the training was still in the so called physical training phase. the 'losing weight' phase. the entire course is gonna be 26 wks long lah. so damm bloody long. even the sgt agree tat it is bloody long. every morning wake up do 5BX, then go for breakfast. after tat go for brisk walk. just walking round the track. like strolling in the park like tat. at least morale was high with all the songs and cheers. my platoon got a lot of 'siao on' ppl lah. so can sing sing sing. somemore the sgt teach us some twisted version of the songs. then after tat it is some lecture. can't seem to stay awake in the lecture hall. then after lunch, lecture again, before evening exercise, then dinner. after dinner sometime got some stuff to do, sometime just free time. seems like damm gd life huh. really, life isn't tat bad here. or maybe i haven come to the bad part yet.

the sucky part is got to be stand by area, or worse still stand by bed. have to clean up all the area. same thing lah, no matter how clean the area is, the sgt still gonna find some place that got dust. stand by bed worse. the arrangement in the cupboard have to follow a certain order. SAF give u a bloody big cupboard to put just a few things on display. so stupid!

at least my section got interesting ppl. they are really damm fun ppl. everyday can laugh until peng! tat help time to past a lot quickly. but one thing is tat a lot of them are deep sleeper lah. i am always the first one to wake up when some guy alarm clock rang, then i have to wake up to turn it off and wake tat person up. think my section is also the fastest grp lah. everytime got to fall in, we wld be the first few to get there. then my section got one recourse guy. we call him 'lao jiao'. he shared with us a lot of experience. some not so gd lah.

10 days seems to have passed by quickly. next wk onwards, then will not have such a long confinment. every week can come back to civilisation. hopefully the next 25 weeks will pass by quickly.
