It has been a long time since I last blogged. This time I found some time to blog.

During my BMT (Basic Military Training), from 14th August 2013, day 1, met my section mates, my close buddy. Here is a description of my school. I'm in BMTC (Basic Military Training Centre) School 4, Musketeers, 5th Company (aka 5th Coy) in platoon 4 section 2 bed no.: 8. Hence my 4D number is 4208.
We are considered the most 'xiong' company in school 4. We were part of the 'Fantastic 4' meaning the 4 most 'xiong' companies in the whole of Pulau Tekong, which includes : Taurus, Ninja, Kestrel & us, Musketeers. We have a slogan for our company and that is " Conquered By None, 5th Coy ! "

Let's talk about my section mates, they include, Ashley Chen, Khalis, Afiq, Darren Lee, Andrew, Kevin, Dickson, Darren Teo, Jun Xiong, Samuel, Mason, Lester, Han Wei and Heikern. These people made an impact in my life during my 2 weeks confinement in BMT. Ashley is a very nice and kind person, constantly reminding us about what stuff we need to do, and the timing we need to fall in. Khalis is a very humorous person, always disturbing people and making people feel like he's not the one. HAHAHA ! He's a happy go lucky person. Afiq is nice guy, although quiet but when he's into something he will be very enthu about it. Darren Lee is very optimistic, even though he OOT (Out Of Training) due to falling down from  SOC (Standard Obstacle Course) and breaking his rib cage, he does things very seriously, always smiling, always looking very positive, looking on the bright side of his life. Andrew the joker of our section, always dancing when music is playing in the bunk and always flexing his muscles and singing army songs in indian accent HAHAHA ! Kevin is quite quiet, but very hardworking, every night, he will take out his own notes and books learning Korean and Malay. Dickson is my buddy, he is very skinny and sometimes quite blur haha. He's is a very music talented guy, plays the violin and guitar :) Darren Teo is aka the gay buddy in our section forever making weird nosies (you know what I mean) and a joker. But afterall he's a kind and nice person, easy going. Jun Xiong may seem quiet and don't talk much but once he's high, hell let loose LOL ! Samuel is our platoon IC. His job is tough, making sure the the whole section is there, moving fast from point A to B and he has a high sense of responsibility. Mason always making sure we do things together from cleaning the bunk together and engaging us, sometimes he will act gangster but in a funny way, humorous guy. Lester the fittest guy in our section even I'm not up there. He does triathlon and runs alot. His sundown marathon timing was an hour faster and me ! He completed 42.195KM in 3 hours 27 mins. He's aiming for best PT in the company, his 2.4km timing, 8 mins 26 secs only 2 secs away from smashing the company's record ! Han Wei is a tall and muscular guy very quiet and sometimes asking retarded questions at times hahaha. Heikern the scholar in our section, with a GPA of 3.992/4 almost a perfect score. He is very responsible, kind and helpful always going the extra mile to help people !

During the 2 weeks confinement, I did alot of thinking, thinking why are we serving NS ? We serve NS because we want to protect the people we love, our families and our loved ones. We are protecting Singapore so that they can have a safe place to stay in. This 2 weeks, gone through hell with these 15 guys, kenna tekan (punished in malay) sweat together, have fun together ! Everytime I feel like breaking down due to confinement at that period of time, one letter braced me through, and that was my good friend Sze Rong. She encourages me and tell me to hold on, because she knows that I will and be able to pull through the hard times. She told me to aim for the stars which I've been aiming to. A big thank you to you Sze Rong :) Next Tuesday is hell week, my field camp, 6 days in the forest with no shower, 4 days field camp, 2 days SITEST, (Situational Test) Going through not only physical fitness and combat fitness but also mental strength.

Till then, I will blog again.
Goodbye !
