3 more days and i'm officially a 1 year soldier!! Haha, meaning that i am already halfway through my service term and only 1 more year to ORD lo!! Hmm...time passes quite fast leh, last year still at Tekong "yes sergeant! No sergeant!", "yes sir! No sir" but now, what is sergeant?? Lolx...standby bed no more, standby area no more, marching no more, clean rifle no more and water parade no more!!! Hahaha, everyday can just ba long long own time own target do my work.
However, what i miss dearly would be the times i had with my platoon and bunk mates. Despite the different backgrounds that we come from, the days in Tekong gave us the opportunity to know and learn from each other. So glad to have met people like Vinnie, Shiu Hei, Sua Ning, Mak, Darrell, Joel (we call him the 'Sex Machine'), Yong Yuan (we call him 'PCC') and so on. Always gathered at the meeting table in my bunk to talk cock every night during our free time and listening to each other's stories, especially Joel's juicy stories lolx...
I can still remember vividly there was once when we wanted to make a birthday card for one of our sergeants in the platoon. We did not have the necessary resources we need to make him a very nice card. We made do with just some coloured pens, hightlighter and a piece of foolscap paper for the card. We drew and wrote him something on the card before folding it into a paper plane as we knew that his ambition is to become an air steward. But then...something terrible happened.
Lights off timing was supposed to be 2230hrs, but we were still rushing to complete the card. The sergeant were already shouting up to us to switch off our lights but apparently we did not. He was SOOO frustrated that he screamed us down to fall in and started to f*** and punished us. We all felt terrible, we knew we were wrong not to obey the lights off timing but we also explained to him our intention. He went silent for awhile, feeling very guilty and touched, he changed his tone and told us to go back.
The following day, we gave him the card early in the morning. He apologised and thanked us for the 'special' gift. First time kena F*** so badly just to make something special for someone. Hmmm...Indelible memories, will never forget man. Eager to ORD as soon as possible man lolx....
