First, I am surprised to hear from Mavis that she actually read my blog. Thanks Girl… So sweet of you…
I supposed everyone is sleeping at 0100 in the morning on Wednesday. That was the time when 3rd battalion Singapore Guards, Alpha company went on a 20KM night route march at East Coast Park. AT 12KM, we converted to tactical march. We finally reached camp after moving all the way without any rest. However, that was not the end. When the time reads 0730, platoon breaching team did breaching and we had dawn attack. Guardsmen always experience the least expected. If you are in a mist of carrying out a mission, you will have to continue with it even though you know it is never ending. Everyone thought that they would be 7 knoll but we were lucky because there wasn’t. My legs are hurting even after the route march has ended. When all was over, we were allowed to book out.
I had not spoken to or seen my Dad for more than a week as both of us are very busy. I rushed home with a limp and alighted from the bus seeing my Dad there. He was waiting for his bus to work. I sat down beside him and we spoke a little. That lasted less than a minute before he had to catch the bus that has just arrived.
Tears rolled down my cheeks when he boarded the bus. I suddenly feel that NS had made me drifted away from my family. I knew they understood me because it is something every man have to go through. I would not blame anyone but I would thank NS for letting me grow stronger and fitter. From that, I knew I must treasure everyone beside me.
On Thursday, we had NDP training again. After it ended, I went dinner with Meng Yang, Guo Long, Zell and Al Min. It is so troublesome to have dinner with them. Meng Yang does not eat Burger King but Al Min does not eat Long John but he wants to eat Burger King. I don’t like to eat KFC. In the end, we went to Makansutra Food Centre which is located beside DXO. The food was terrible but the environment was good. It was windy and there was also a LIVE band performance at DXO so we listened to the band and had dinner at the same time.
I went home after that. Having got a 3 pin plug spoilt at home, I fixed it. It proved that my 2 years of studying electronics was not wasted.
Today, Wei Cheng passed his 2B TP at 16 points. I may accompany him to survey bike tomorrow. Once again, I am glad for him but sad that I did not do well for my previous TP. Next Thursday, 7 August is my 2nd TP. Wish me good Luck.
