ARMY! Gosh...

Well, you've guessed it! I've finally enlisted. Heck been the property of the SAF for just about a month now and DANG! I'm having a blast! Wooohooooo! Never thought that BMT would be this fun. I'm also rather surprised at how many chubby guys there actually are in Singapore! LOL! Hmmm since i'm in the obese batch, I should be this surprised now should I? Well, well, well, I'm told strictly not to reveal my training and schedule though I don't see a point to all this secrecy. Still I must abide to all the rules lest I wanna extend my service period, which I DON'T! So anyway, I'll Just give you guys the basics of where I am. As you all should know, I'm in Pulau Tekong serving my Basic Millitary Training and thus far, it's be awesome! All my commanders are great! They seriously look out for our well being and welfare! Wahaha! "D" coy is the most awesome-est coy a fat guy can hope for! The training is not too tiring and is a little too relaxed for my liking but hey, why complain?! LOL! The Army is afraid us Chubby buggers might pop an artery if we train too hard like those fitter, slimmer guys. But training is not everything. There is much enforcement on the basic everyday human stuff like personal hygene of which my bunk-mate has NONE! Discipline, ethics and so on and so forth... But I have to admit that the guys whom are with me on this journey are in all a great bunch of fellows! None of that gangster shit going on too much so that's a relief. I'd hate to see people get clobbered for no bloody reason. And yes what the commanders say is true; that every book out is precious! I missed my family whilst in camp and missed many of my close pals. Some of whom are also journeying down this road of conscription with me. Good gosh is it the new year already? Damn that's fast and to think Christmas blew by like leaves on a windy day... Much of my mind has been so pre-occupied with training and what not that I almost forget that I have friends to talk to and catch up with! Haha! Well on to the life of a fresh NS-man! Hmmm communial living has been rather interesting and challenging with tempers flaring and fights just on the verge of breaking out. But my outlook is that if I can manage a peaceful means to help disarm the situation, I will. Through the physical and mental training, many of my platoon mates and I have forged bonds, bonds which I hope will see us through our conscription. I somehow find myself always trying to encourage people, albeit not in the traditional manner of cheering them on. Sometimes I even lash out at some of my bunk mates for not doing things right. I just hope that they see and understand my reasons for doing what I've done. All I hope is that no matter what, all of us will make it through this challenging time and evolve to become soldiers from mere boys.

Aside from NS, its the holiday season! And now, I kinda understand why some people say its the toughest time for singles... Not having that special someone to share those tender moments with and see the nights through really has gotten to me... Hell, I don't even have a the luxury of trying to woo someone, seeing as my heart has been stolen and is a little too far for me to reach... Bleagh...
