What a week!

My legs are sore! This week has been a rather shagged week for me. From Tuesday to Friday I have been running everyday! Tuesday had 7km run, Wednesday had training for SBJ and chinups which was very strenuous, Thursday night had this game called "Run for your lives" named by my Sergeant Major, in which we had to sprint 6X400km, and Friday another 7km at Mac Ritchie Reservoir. Let's applaud for my legs. They have served me well. Hahaha.

Seriously training wise I can still take it. In fact, I kind of enjoyed it since it is guilty pleasure, or pleasure inclusive of pain. Free work out man! Haha. And luckily, my Sergeant Major is an eccentric fellow whose every word and action really wanna make me laugh out loud. He definitely adhered to the SAF 7 core values, one of which is to CARE FOR SOLDIERS. At least we were always praised for completing our long runs and all that. He will be like, "You guys are fantastic! I'm so proud of you!" Hence, albeit the camp might be quite rundown, at least the people there, including my sergeants are nice people to talk to. So I guess it's not a boring place to be. And the good thing is, I think I'm already able to adapt to my kind of environment now. I thought I couldn't initially.

Oh, and my best friend Aaron has been enlisted today! He's in Tekong right now! Wow, finally my best buddy is now serving his sentence too. Haha. I kind of missed him and worry for him but I know he'll be strong and that he'll be able to survive all the trainings and stuff. Seriously, to look back, BMT life in Tekong is indeed a pleasure cruise. You don't need to pay for this cruise yet you get to enjoy all the facilities in there and at the end of the day you feel like you've been on an unsinkable ship. Of course, you don't really get to travel on a cruise around Tekong. What I meant was Tekong was like a "holiday" training for me. I used to grumble a lot about life in there. But looking back now, it has indeed been a fulfilling, fruitful and memorable experience. So all the best to Aaron! And ah neh, you are next to go in bro. Haha. There's nothing to worry about. Just do your best and make new friends yea!

Tough times don't last. Tough men do. :)
