Preparation

Just did a check on all the equipments
that i'm required to bring back to camp.
These were the stuff that are issued to me
on my enlistment day earlier this year.
It's like damn a lot.
Spent the whole night checking through the stuff,
making sure that i don't miss out any of them.
By the time i'm done, i feel quite chui already.
And that's just checking,
i still have got to pack ar.

Went to try on my boots and tying the boot laces.
Was so relieved that i still remember how to tie lah. Haha.
In case you are thinking if i'm some dumb ass or what,
there's a special way to tie the ends of the laces,
it's not the usual one you tie for school shoes.

Oh, and i've recently watched a series of videos
at the NS Portal produced by pioneer
titled 'Every Singaporean Son'.
It kinds of give you an idea what's Basic Military Training (BMT) is about,
that guys like us would undergo in our first 2 months of NS life.
For my case, then it would be different lah.
18 Episodes, roughly 7 mins each.
Quite worth the watch in my opinion.
I like the way how they put it,
especially the beginning of each episode
with all that song-singing part.
It's good, really.

From what i see from the videos,
i can foresee that i'm going to be quite screwed up when BMT starts
but i guess PTP would be all right ba.
Physical training has been fine for me but military skills could possibly fail me.
I just don't have that sort of confidence uh.
Well, not much of a choice actually, shall see how things progress ba.
As long as i don't injure myself bad enough to get out of course (and i hope i don't)
all should be fine la uh.
