Life So Far in a Distant Island Called Tekong

*Cough*Sputter*Sniff*

What a way to start my post after so long. Yes, i have fallen really SICK. Almost the whole company has got the wave of Tekong Fever, Tekong Cough, Tekong Flu and Tekong Sore Throat. My fever has left, so still lingers are the rest, so im feeling pretty blue.

Anyhooo. Life in the army has been rather interesting, fun, idiotic, and difficult at the same time. But well, 5 weeks have passed! So it amounts to ard 8 weeks of my 13 week BMT left! Time flies man! Can't wait to POP! Counting down!!

Just to recap abit, the first couple of weeks were mostly PT sessions, and orientation into army life. PT was rather difficult at first, but the more we do, the more we get used to it. One thing's for sure, the army certainly helps you push your limits. Many times i felt like giving up, yet being able to sit here n type out these stuff certainly motivates me and makes me feel rather proud of myself.

Then the interesting things started to come up, such as receiving our weapon and such, and doing more soldierly things, but not forgetting the PT sessions too! I can't really expound much on what we do in there cos its sensitive information, but what i can say is that some of the recent lessons are really starting to get interesting and somewhat cool where we learn to handle other stuff in army life.

"Tekan-ning" sessions are always a tough part to handle. Its when our commanders suddenly sprout horns from no where and endless push-ups ensue. But well, sometimes we jus gotta blame it on our lack of discipline, and our lack of standard. So such things we gotta take with a pinch of salt, and JUST DO IT. Haha.

The week that is coming up is gonna be hectic, and hopefully a good experience too. Cos, we are gonna have our Field Camp! Wont be booking out till next Wed, but we're gna have quite a few days of break after that. I foresee FC will be a time where we will be pushed to our limits (yet again) and at the same time it'll be good for us mentally and physically, when we learn to overcome obstacles and such.

After this month's worth of high-key events, i guess it'll be time for us to focus on our IPPT (Darn those pull ups). So more and more PT sessions i guess. Haha.

Well, that's abt it for now,
Toodles!
